Should-a would-a could-a well its not enough, push the boat out a little more its the quite ones you gotta be careful of, well Disney Land and Amsterdam if anybody needs me ill be Peter Pan, we've taken all the fairy dust we can handle. As time goes by you seem to change always finding something to blame put the pieces back together like a puzzle, Little bo-peep has lost her sheep, she won't find it till shes had some sleep, i think she's struggling cause she's been rohypnols.

As we dance well we dance to the music we make eye contact but dont care, well we dance, we dance in the light to prove we are normal, well we do it, well we do it so well can't you tell we've been doing this for a long time, when will this night finaly begin, begin, You know you want to have..........

Never take a bite at the hand thats been feeding you, you know this is bad practice. who said you cant teach new dogs old tricks, not complicated if you put the effort in. stick with what you know, well charity well it starts at home, can you feel the tention in this room building do you feel like your about to explode. this pention of empathy has finally taken over me, well maybe its time to set sail for the seven sea, a self distructive side in all of us is obliged to come out once in a while teach us a lesson. keep your friends close , keep your enemies even closer, cause it always helps to have allies, for when your feeling hostile. this pention of empathy has finally taken over me, well maybe its time to set sail for the seven sea, a self distructive side in all of us is obliged to come out once in a while teach us a lesson. well this moral dylema was better late than never, sticks and stones could break my bones im invinsible forever, stick with what you know, well charity well it starts at home. this pention of empathy has finally taken over me, well maybe its time to set sail for the seven sea, a self distructive side in all of us is obliged to come out once in a while teach us a lesson. teach us a lesson.

If i was a tree, i'd stand alone, i would live in the woods standing tall and strong. if i was an animal id be a bird, i would fly country to country touring the world. so we moved to the country to see what we seek, i will live on wild berrys and eldiflower wine, its a dieing breed if you know what i mean, well its hard finding people that stick with what they believe. If i was a criminal id be robin hood, i would steal from the rich and bring happiness to my people, if i was a ghost id see straight through you, iv been making deals with the four horsemen of the apocalypes. so we moved to the country to see what we seek, i will live on wild berrys and eldiflower wine, its a dieing breed if you know what i mean, well its hard finding people that stick with what they believe.

Don't bring the police to the doors its hard when your the son of a coppa, things we said, the words were blessed, who knows, who cares. two dogs causing riots in our hall ways we'll get used to it, dont use our front garden as a tip yard or we'll have to get rid of it. We see what time it is, so we all go home, we all go home aaaahhh, we see that this wont work so we all go home, we all go home aaaaahh. Tootie fruity was my favourite sweety bring me a bag home for me, we'll keep these walls standing we'll keep them standing up. were the avondale, were the avondale. we see what time it is, so we all go home, we all go home aaaahhh, we see that this wont work so we all go home, we all go home aaaaahh. well you shouldnt of seen this heading our way, if ya shouldnt of seen this heading straight. Were the avondale we are here to stay, we'll do things our own way, were the avondale, were the avondale, were the avondale, who cares.

Picture a perfect world whats missing from this whole picture dreams they keep re-occuring this means we must still be thinking. We dream of the perfect moment dreams they become to real happiness is nothingness if nobody to share with it wheres the optimism, in life we have visions, happiness is lonelyness if nobody to share it with, wheres the competition, in life we have vision.

Can't quite cross the river cus i dont wanna feel safe right here, cant quite cross the river but im oblivious to the feeling of fear, you know when your coming home. One these days we'll look back and laugh what a wonderful time we must of had, wasn't for my mates id end up dead, living in a prison or living from a shed, i know we're all on the same page, to us life is just a big stage, life is a party take it to heart, alchohol was just the start. you know when your coming............ You know when your coming (solo) home.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall, this theorys already been tried out before, i know you turned up a little bit late to the conversation. Follow your shadows, cause they are gonna be looking for you, whatch out for those arrows cause they are gonna be aiming for you. Touch wood this would-n't happen again by all believers well know life is changing, fly with the crows get shot with the crows you know what happens next. You know you wasn't saposed to take offence off these words, well try and grow up well stop being so obsurred. i know this is all we ever wanted. Follow your shadows, cause they are gonna be looking for you, whatch out for those arrows cause they aere gonna be aiming for you. Don't you feel special can you feel the lump in your throat Dont you feel exausted wearing your heart on your sleeve. cause they say dont judge a book by its covers but judge a man by his book. cause they say dont judge a book by its covers not until we've all had a look,had a look. Follow your shadows, cause they are gonna be looking for you, whatch out for those arrows cause they aere gonna be aiming for you. your a dafodil

Have you ever had to stand in an empty room, have you ever had to stand so still, have you ever had to wait for something good to happen in this world you gotta go and make things happen for yourself. Then we realise we're not getting any younger, cus then we realise we're still having fun, cus they say lifes like a rollercoaster, well oh no, well my rides have broken down. Do you remember when you found me lying on your bathroom floor, i was sweating and i was hugging the toilet bowl, oh how we laughed and said this wouldn't happen again, little did we realise this would of been the first of many times. Then we realise we're not getting any younger, cus then we realise we're still having fun, cus they say lifes like a rollercoaster, well oh no, well my rides have broken down. Cus all we ever wanted was cudles and kisses on sundays, all we ever wanted was for all this to go away, whats done is done, whats won is won and whats lost is gone forever, well we're born alone,we die alone and we earn your respect in between. well it's all so fabulous. dont you choose, dont you choose. ch. cus then we realise we're not GETTING ANY YOUNGER, cus then we realise we're STILL HAVING FUN, cus they say lifes like a rollercoaster, well oh no, WELL MY DREAMS HAVE BROKEN DOWN. Can't save this, cant save yourself, cant save me, if you cant look after yourself.

If something bad happens well i drink to forget, If something good happens well i obviously drink to celebrate and if nothing happens well a drink to make something happen, those who drink to drown their sorrows should be told that sorrow knows how to swim. One for the love two for yourself three cause your sorry and four cause your scared, how long will this carry on. well your hearts in your mouth cant we all tell, aint stopped talking for the last few minuted now, how long will this all carry on. Stop saying sorry for the things that you never done, never heard of it being bad having to much of a good thing, dont let the truth get in the way of a good story, those who drink to drown their sorrows should be told that sorrow nows how to swim. One for the love two for yourself three cause your sorry and four cause your scared, how long will this carry on. well your hearts in your mouth cant we all tell, aint stopped talking for the last few minuted now, how long will this all carry on. As we breath, as we breath, well you stole my thunder, as you dream, as you dream, as you lay there, stop using these big words your only patronising yourself, everybodys got their own big vocabulary stuck high somewhere else. Cause i dont know how to explane life anymore, the more i try to push myself i dont think we can carry on, the more i try well the more its hard and i dont what to do, the more i try to push myself i dont think we can pull through. one for the love two for yourself three cause your sorry and four cause your scared, how long will this carry on. well your hearts in your mouth cant we all tell, aint stopped talking for the last few minuted now, how long will this all carry on.

As we go down, well we dont know, well we dont know what to do, cus im falling apart, theres nothing at all that is left to fall, cus i dont really mind no, cus i dont really care no. We're bored ,playing these games, cus the rules of life, aren't making sense and time it hasn't run out but i try to relax keep climbing to store it, cus i dont really mind nooo, cus i dont really care nooo. It's killing me, would you tell me the truth, by above all, by above all well your killing me wooooo, well try and stop this im a fan of revenge, dont go making plans, shuv it to the man, cus i dont really mind nooo, cus i dont really care noooo. (outro) Hold me down, hold me still if you can, take me off of these knees, place me on to these feet, take me off of these knees, place me on to my feet.
