Summer Bodies

Summer bodies are made when you hate yourself
We know what’s wrong with you
We can correct it
All problem areas
Will be dissected
Just tell me I’m pretty, just tell me I look OK
One day I’ll rid myself of all this shame
You can soften your skin
You can eat yourself thin
We swear it’s for your health
Summer bodies are made when you hate yourself
If I cut off my hair
If I suck in my gut
If I dress for my shape
Maybe I’ll be enough
Razors, lasers, acid peels and wax
Count out your calories, burn off all your fat
Get shredded in weeks,
Ass, abs and obliques,
I swear it’s for my health
Summer bodies are made when you hate yourself
[screaming]
Nothing tastes as good as skinny fries and a huge burger
Before and after, before and after, before…

That Thing You Did
02:37
|
|

Aren't you the comedian
Say something funny, take my mind off it
Cute as a button, stiff as a board
Ever get the feeling that you're being ignored?
We skipped hand in hand to the charity shop
The one that I loved, I gave away by force
He was in the window the very next week
Surrounded by shit I wanted to keep
And he said
Hey, what’s up with your head?
I wish I could forget about that thing you did, but
I hate it
I’ll wait forever but I’m never getting over it
We go to the gig, cause you miss the boys
Watch a few bands make a lot of noise
Cute as a button stiff as a board
A little scorched flannel is its own reward
My mum said
You look like a mess
Anything is better than that thing you did, and
I hate it
I’ve waited years for someone to come and deal with it
And when you try to sleep I hope you can’t escape it
And everyone goes quiet when I walk in
I hate it

Canines

I got bit by a dog
So they gave me a shot
It was a cry for help
But now it's not
Something that we can talk about
Now I'm watching my back
When I go for a run
You say it must have been
Something that I'd done
To make him want a piece of me
Look inside, you'll see it's true
The good boy in the mirror is you
There's a love that endures
Uncomplicated and pure
They say it must be my age, but I’m not sure
It has to come from something more
It's not your fault you're upset
You need to go to the vet
Is there any wonder that you get so angry you have to channel it?
There's no clever metaphor
It just means I don't want a dog anymore
We were meant to be best friends
So please don't bite me again
I'm gonna find the guy who made you this way and make him pay
So you might be a little more bark and a little less bite
The kind of dog I like
[noise]

Back from Tour
03:53
|
|
||
|
Sometimes when I cannot sleep
I imagine myself in an endless sea
No land for miles, it’s just the sky and me
Maybe when you’re back from tour
We can work it out again
When I’m too tired and you’re too sad, it’s doing me in
It shouldn’t be this tough
If it’s something that you love
You haven’t been the same
But the world won’t wait
Wish that I could pack it in
But every dream I have is calling me again
It’s not enough to live, I want to be it
And every time I feel brand new
I give everything to you
It beats the grind so let’s go ahead and see what we can do
I’ll chalk it up to something I don’t know
So why’d you still say so?

Yearning and Pining
02:14
|
|
||
|
All I do is sit and chew my hands down to the wrist
It’s no fun to be the one you’ll never ever miss
Hoping something in your day reminds you
Whispering the things I hope will find you
I’m yearning
I’m pining
I’m wishing you were mine and
I’m yearning
I’m pining
And wishing you were mine
Why would you want to get what you want, the film ends when they kiss
We’ll run out of things to say and have to reminisce
But how can you be better still on paper
Legs so good I reach for my inhaler

Banger #7

We were poisonous teens
Pissing behind trees
We stayed home tending to our jealousies
In your house by the sea
It’s never too late
You can make the same mistake with me
I want a love I can’t refuse
But I don’t cry as much as I used to
They tell me I should speak my truth
But I don’t know how much I should tell you
You keep bringing up a terrible mother
I think you mean it as a compliment
You won’t get a word out of me
I’ve been here all these years, waiting to be heard
It’s a long time for a half life
And now you’re in the bathroom, she’s upset
It must be something that I said
I’m trying but I’m out of practice
We both go home in separate taxis

No Souvenirs
03:30
|
|
||
|
I’ve been thinking about what to say
There’s something to remind me every day
Autumn gets me so stuck in my ways
At your haunted house, with its broken door
But you don’t even live here anymore
And there’s no souvenirs when you go
We’re ruining the ending for ourselves
I could let go if I wanted to
Now it’s easier done than said,
Could I have loved you more if you had loved me less?
This mutual understanding is done to death
I’m a hand in the waves
You’re a hook and line
Called myself a taxi in the middle of the night
How can I see you if you never meet my eye?
If we’d just gone for a pint
Could we have made it right?
You couldn’t make it right
Now I can’t make it right

Inferno
03:44
|
|

How long will it take till I'm burning at the stake
And judgment day is coming
Seems I forgot to study
It's so funny that I'm splitting at the seams
Would I burst into flames if you called my name
And all my sins
I was raised to wait, but I’m running out of faith
That anyone is coming
I feel it in my stomach
I’m so worried that I’m burning through my skin
Would I burst into flames if you called my name
And all my sins
And all my vices
It’s just one more little crisis
I’ve been going through
Maybe there’s no use in fighting
Soaked in petrol I’m reciting:
"All my sins and all my vices,
I can’t take another crisis "

My Best Me
03:21

Bury me down the back of the sofa
I’ll be the ghost at your sleepover
When I’m bailing on your big day
Look, it’s not that I don’t like him
At least I hope he doesn’t die
But the red flags look like roses
When there’s something in your eye
I know, I know, I know
Everybody wants to be adored
And so, and so, and so,
What the hell did you say that for?
I can’t drive you but I can walk you
No I don’t need someone to talk to
If it gets too much to handle
I run a bath and light a candle
Oh, you’re gonna break my heart
l wish you joy and happiness
While I find a place to park
I don’t wanna be my best me anymore.

Eating For Two
03:38
|
|

Your sister says she’s eating for two
Oh it’s such a natural thing to do
I’ve got to put this God-given body to use
I’ve got to hurry up and make peace with what I choose
So give me my shirt back and walk away
Do me a solid and say it’s OK
Is it true that you still want to sleep all day
I’m starting to think it’s never going away
I don’t want to write another song about death
But I close my eyes and it’s somebody else
So I spend my nights sitting up in bed
Feeling all the feelings I have ever felt
So give me a reason to hold your kid
The pettiest thing that I ever did
You tell me I’m mean and you laugh it off
You get all sad and I lap it up
But it’s not bad enough to need to talk about
It’s just a little tough
And it weighs me down but not so I can’t stand
Just so I can’t run
I could hibernate
I could live in the dark
Let’s go girls!
It’s a brand new start
It’s a stupid game and I want what’s mine
Give me a break and don’t make me sign
It isn’t fair and it isn’t fine
And I don’t think I’m ever going to change my mind
Your sister says she’s eating for two
It’s such a natural thing to do
Your sister says she’s eating for two
It’s a wonderful life and I’m so glad I spent it with you
But I’m never going to change my mind
(Never! Ever! Gonna! Change!)

Paddling Pool

500m front crawl champion at school
And I guess I should have told you
I was a paddling pool
I’m sitting on the tiles
Following your footprints to the turnstile
Wish I could cast you in bronze
Reanimate you when I want
Teach me how to breathe
Wading in the shallows,
My water wings and me
I forget to breathe
Wading through the water
Waiting in the weeds
Waiting in the car
Drive all your friends to the union bar
I know you want a trophy
But maybe I can pick you up
Chlorine, ketchup
Please don’t freak out
Hometown hero
Come to my show

30

30 isn’t something anyone should sing about
All those teenage romances went dark and fizzled out
25 is full of doubt
Wish I could shut my stupid mouth
I’m so glad to be 30
Easy does it, if I move too fast I might be sick
Rise above it, no-one needs to know what makes you tick
25 is full of woe
So many birthdays left to go
I’m so glad to be 30
