Ha Ha I'm Drowning

Oh use your common sense
Don’t take things for granted
You know it’s not like that
It isn’t how you said

You ask me if I love you
Well I don’t think that’s fair
You ask me if I love you
Well I don’t think that’s real
To criticize our love

The stupid things you said
you only try to hurt me
The stupid things you say
You hurt me deep inside

You ask me if I love you
Well I don’t think that’s fair
You ask me if I love you
Well I don’t think that’s real
To criticize our love

Well ask me once again
And ask me for the third time
Oh ask me how I feel
I say I’m drowning in your love
Ha Ha I’m drowning in your love

Second Head

Look, look into my eyes
Outside a sudden footsteps
Take control, control of your thoughts
Wait, I’m still hoping, hoping
I’m still hoping

Like a second head
Is it the first one you started out with

Seen, seen from the stars
I know the banisters leaking
That I can breath freely, that I can breath freely
I wait, oh I wait for a sign, hoping and praying
Hoping it’s mine

Like a second head
Is it the first one you started out with

Oh you can see much more, but can you learn
Don’t throw anything
I’m scratching my back while you’re scratching the surface
Beware, beware of false promises
You must be wary of people, the knives in their backs

Like a second head
Is it the first one you started out with

Waiters and callers
Trapped by the door, looking for something
That I didn’t come for
Decisions, decisions, it’s only a sign
But what and who is this, well next time

Like a second head
Is it the first one you started out with

Bouncing Babies

I was a bouncing baby
I fell down
I looked around
I didn’t stay to long

And it’s true
It’s true
It’s true
All the things that they tell you

Oh it’s all there
For you to see
And so why is it
All so easy for me

And it’s true
It’s true
It’s true
They pinch you’re things
When they’ve got nothing they can believe in
Believe in

I was a poison child
I was fighting for my life
Clinging to something
Fighting for anything

It’s true
All the things that they tell you
Oh it’s all true
All the things that they said that they said
That they tell you

I was a bouncing baby
Now I’m a bouncing bomb
So won’t you come and diffuse me
Before I kill someone

Treason

I've been living through changes
And I could swing for you
I can see the veins in my hands
Are showing through

But if you disguise
What they are doing to me
If you criticize them
I'll know that you can see

Until you realise
It's just a story

Consequently my reaction
Was getting very strange
I can see your course of action
Leading to a change

You've got to get ready for me

Is it real
Or is it treason
Is it treason

I've been living through changes
It's not the same thing every day
I hope it's not my age
But I wouldn't like to say

Mirror hopping days of coarse reaction
Oh it's very hard to fight
I tried to find a plan of action
But I couldn't get it right

Until you realise
it's just a story.

Thief Of Bhagdad

You went into my room last night
And you took everything that I need
You left me there with stars in my eyes
Oh I know it’s not love it’s agreed

Street signs glowing
But it doesn’t leave a mark on you
I was looking for a sign to change my mind
But I never thought that I’d see you

You wandered into my dreams last night
And you stood them all up in a row
You trampled all over them with stones in your shoes
And you said "Oh yeah, I thought that you’d know"

Street signs glowing
But it doesn’t leave a mark on you
I was looking for a sign to change my mind
But I never thought that I’d see you

Oh but my head is aching
And my back is breaking
And my bodies quaking
Oh and my hands are shaking

I need somebody to come and take me away

I’ve been climbing this hill with the sun on my back
I’ve been climbing and climbing all day
Then you walk in my room and you laugh in my face
You said, " I thought you’d gone out to play"

Street signs glowing
But it doesn’t leave a mark on you
I was looking for a sign to change my mind
But I never thought that I’d see you

Brave Boys Keep Their Promises

Brave Boys Keep Their Promises
They fight fight fight they’re way up to the top
Holding back the images
They gave them all they’re early start but they move on though

Lets get off at the next step
Braving all the elements
All the things that nature throws at you
Fighting for the first time
It’s hard for you and It’s hard for me but we keep on now
we’re always moving

Move move

Brave Boys Keep Their Promises
You’ve got to do do do do the things they say
Fighting with your relatives
You’ve got your mother and your father and your brothers to your aunts
and your uncles are all against you

Went Crazy

I’m in my room I’m looking sideways
I look up and I look down
They told my friends it was a secret
But it’s rumored that some of us went crazy

So I packed all my clothes and I went on back home
I was standing on the tarmac ready to go
Then I looked al around and I looked all around
And I looked all around and I went crazy

But I sincerely sad and resigned
I look up and I rest sometime
Then I think for a while and I sit for a while
And I sit for a while and I went hazy

Oh I go

If you have a daughter bounce her on your knee
If you have a son send the blighter off to sea
If you have a daughter bounce her on your knee
If you have a son send the blighter off to sea

If you have a daughter bounce her on your knee
If you have a son send the blighter off to sea
If you have a daughter bounce her on your knee
If you have a son send the blighter off to sea

Oh yeah

Well fun and games and laughter for the chosen few
Here comes your nose and here comes you
Je sue suicide, je sue pain
Jabber indecision here we go again, I’m going

Oh we’re in love with beauty
We’re in love with health
We’re in love with mental health
I’m going crazy

Sleeping Gas

Sometimes I wonder if your really living
Oh what is this feeling you think that you’re giving
Well you can sit down, wrecked and dismayed
Wondering why are all the plans that you laid

You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
Just like a cartoon by AAP
Oh it’s just like a cartoon by AAP, oh yeah

Oh whether to phone you
Or whether to see you
I never do anything
You never do things for me
I wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around

You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
So here comes my head
And my hand just behind oh yeah yeah yeah

I stand in the street
I look for someone to meet
But you don’t call me or phone
Oh your never alone

I wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around

You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
Just like a cartoon by AAP

You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
It’s just like sleeping gas
It’s so ethereal

I wander around
I just wander around

Poppies

The parachutes in my bag
I’m throwing it over to you
The parachutes in your hands
But don’t ask me what to do

The poppies are in the field
But don’t ask me what that means
The poppies are in the field
But don’t ask me what that means

I wait around
I wait around

I see a change in you
Can you see a change in me
But I can’t explain at all
I can’t explain what I feel

Comics insult you said
But comics are all I read
Comics insult you said
But comics are all I read

I wait around
I wait around
I wait around
I wait around
Wait around

I see a change in you 
Can you see a change in me
But I can’t explain at all
I can’t explain what I feel

The poppies are in the field
But don’t ask me what that means
The poppies are in the field
But don’t ask me what that means

I wait around
I wait around
Wait around

When I Dream

I’ve been thinking about you
I hope that you’ve been thinking about me
I’ve been talking about you
I’ve been talking about you in my sleep

And when I dream I dream about you
And when I scream I scream about you
I go ba ba ba ba oh oh
Oh I go

I’ve been sad and ever sadder
I’ve been living, living far away
Now it’s you I think it’s true
And I’m running, running back to stay

And now I’m counting I’m counting for two
And when I shout I shout about you
I go ba ba ba ba oh oh
I go ba ba ba ba oh oh
Oh I go

Here you come again
Playing with my feelings


There you go again
Playing with my heart
And when I dream I dream about you
And when I scream I scream about you
I go ba ba ba ba oh oh
I go ba ba ba ba oh oh
Well i'm going

Books

You said you couldn’t find anyone to love you
I said there’s more to life than a broken heart dear console you

I’ve seen it in your eyes
And I’ve read it in books
Who wants love
Without the looks

Well you said I spend my life chasing rainbows
Oh I said that’s a cliché phrase and anyway I like it when the rain goes

I’ve seen it in your eyes
And I’ve read it in books
Who wants love
Without the looks

And I came a long way before I came across the sea
Oh I did love for you and what did you do for me

Oh but I’m gonna be strong
And it’s getting much stronger
it may take a week
But it won’t be longer

No no no no

Reward

Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news
The king sits on his face buttons all askew
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward

Princes stand in queues they stand accused
Death in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
Silence has it
Arrogance has it 
I can have it ooh
Until I learn to accept my reward

Suddenly it struck me very clear
Suddenly it struck me very clean
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward (x3)

I Suffocate

Love has come to this house
My, my, how we laughed
Love has gone from this house
My, my, how we cried
For you

A sound that found it’s way here
Came through stark and silence
Hold that sight in my head
But what seems cold so real

If I said I suffocate
I see stars
I said I can’t count on you
You said how come
To me

I find diamonds inside
I take them out and hide them
Don’t cast shadows on me 
There’s nothing left but these

If I said I suffocate
I see stars
I said I can’t count on you
You said how come
To me

(repeat)
