All Good Things

There are many problems with the way we live
far too many to deal with now but I'm
pretty sure that when you wake up
the first thing that you think about is all the other stuff
yeah I was in your position too but now I'm realising
that money's not the cure although it't mesmerizing
I won't be knocked down by this paper
I wont be number two to earning money being screwed
because it's not what we've been put here for
Plus you'll never be happy until you realise
If all good things in life all come for free
then why do good people work all day just to stay unhappy
it seems to make very little to no sense to me
and while we're young we should all just leave
Well what will we do when we're older
from children we are told to work from youth until we're old now
but what would you do if i told ya'
that you can save until your blue but happiness won't come to ya'
there's just too much stress involved to offer any freedom
you'll never get away unless you know you're demons
I won't be knocked down by this paper
I wont be number two to earning money being screwed
because it's not what we've been put here for
Plus you'll never be happy until you realise
If all good things in life all come for free
then why do good people work all day just to stay unhappy
it seems to make very little to no sense to me
and while we're young we should all just leave
I won't be knocked down by this paper
I wont be number two to earning money being screwed
because it's not what we've been put here for
Plus you'll never be happy until you realise
If all good things in life all come for free
then why do good people work all day just to stay unhappy
it seems to make very little to no sense to me
and while we're young we should all just leave
and while we're young we should all just leave
and while we're young we should all just leave.... Yeah.

You

There are several reasons why we never got along
I will explain them to you now
through this one, short, song
Firstly you snore too loud you wake yourself up
then you blame me for the snoring even though it stops when you get up
I Googled how to stop it, said to cover your mouth but instead of breathing out your nose you nearly passed out
I don't know what to do
you nearly died and now you snore much louder than you used to
earplugs could for zero 'coz the bass comes though the pillow
when we go out your handbag always gets to me
to small to carry anything and so it always falls to me
my pockets are full of your stuff its weighing down all of our love
weighing down all of our love
I've realised all the things you used to do
the things that bother me are the things that make you you
(make you you)
now i want to let you know the truth
is that I really want you to come back home and love me like you used to
You decided that we should eat more healthily
so you signed us up to weight watchers when i was asleep
you said we should go as a pair
every time I went you weren't there
I don't know what to do
I'm still gaining weight
and now I have to feel so guilty too
the lie about my weight
effects my body mass index
I've realised all the things you used to do
the things that bother me are the things that make you you
(make you you)
now i want to let you know the truth
is that I really want you to come back home and love me like you used to

Old & Happy

There’s a slumber from the arm chair
Its two am that’s enough T.V. in there
Rub your eyes from under your glasses
Then walk out the room
Crawl in bed and lay on your pillow
It’s the first time so there both cold sides
And it’s the first time in years you've laid that side
But it’s not the first time you've both locked eyes
And you say it’s OK it’s only me
don’t stir from your slumber you were looking so comfy
it’s OK just go straight back to sleep
They make love in the morning and then they eat.
And they're older now than they've ever been
But they're still in love like they were 15
Still agree that the best thing they ever did
Was to fall in love and have their first kiss
It was years ago
But there still happy you know
1939 to 1945 she waited patiently as he fought for both their lives
From 1945 to the present day they live each moment like they could still die today
So as morning breaks they clear up the plates
They go for a walk just like they always said they would
It’s a slower life in their later days but that’s how they want to stay
And they're older now than they've ever been
But they're still in love like they were 15
Still agree that the best thing they ever did
Was to fall in love and have their first kiss
It was years ago
But there still happy you know
And they're older now than they've ever been
But they're still in love like they were 15
Still agree that the best thing they ever did
Was to fall in love and have their first kiss
It was years ago
But there still happy you know

Lovers & Poets

It can be lonely when it's harder
to get a long term partner
I said I just don't know what I'm gonna do
well if I'm through with love well then I'm through with you
and baby that's just not an option my hearts not for adoption
Everyone's a winner baby that's true
but in loving that can change and leave you hung out and wet through
that's why I'll scream out to the sky and say it's not my time to die
I will beg and steel and lie
just so that you can all know why
Coz I'm a lover and a poet try hard and you know it
I'm a teacher and a pupil learning everything going
coz I'm a maniac on the floor
yeah I'm a lover and that's what we're here for
I will kiss you on your lips
hold you close when its dark
make you feel like you're loved
hold your hand from the start
Well I will beg steel and borrow
just to see though till tomorrow
just so i can have one more chance to find you
but its not easy when there's so much fat to chew
just to get some answers to the a fore mentioned partner
but I've still to find out who you even are
yeah and if that just doesn't work I guess i'll give up it's too hard
but I will try to make the best out of this situation yet
though I just can't help but suspect that I will search until I'm dead
Coz I'm a lover and a poet try hard and you know it
I'm a teacher and a pupil learning everything going
coz I'm a maniac on the floor
yeah I'm a lover and that's what we're here for
Coz I'm a lover and a poet try hard and you know it
I'm a teacher and a pupil learning everything going
coz I'm a maniac on the floor
yeah I'm a lover and that's what we're here for
I will kiss you on your lips
hold you close when its dark
make you feel like you're loved
hold your hand from the start
I will kiss you on your lips
hold you close when its dark
make you feel like you're loved
hold your hand from the start

The learning Curve

I think what I say before I talk
I never run if I can walk
I carry mace for attack protection
Cover my mouth to avoid infection
Wear an SOS chain
make sure I’ve always got some change
take multi-vitamins once a day
to keep that mean old doc away
now I might be wrong but tell me baby are we
too eager to close our eyes and sit and wave our time goodbye
ignorance is bliss but wouldn’t you rather give
informed consent
shake false pretence
being content’s not happiness
It covers your eyes and your heart
And misinforms right from the start
Take Jack and here’s the funny thing
He wanted to tell the beautiful girl
He’d kiss her and hug her and if she’s in bother
He’d do his best to rid her of trouble
But jacks to scared to say anything
He sweats anytime she rings
So instead he goes home and accepts this is it
Then studies her holiday pics
Now I might be wrong but that doesn’t seem right
Jacks been waiting for so long now he’s running out of time
Ignorance is bliss but wouldn’t you rather give
informed consent
shake false pretence
being content’s not happiness
It covers your eyes and your heart
And misinforms right from the start
So we choose to be happy and blind
It’s our emotions we hide
We keep them locked inside ohh
Never say that pain is not your concern
It’s through the pain we learn so don’t be scared when it’s your turn
So we choose to be happy and blind
It’s our emotions we hide
We keep them locked inside ohh
Never say that pain is not your concern
It’s through the pain we learn so don’t be scared when it’s your turn
