1. Sink That Ship

Waiting just like before
But just one hour of excitement out of these 24
And now there's 15 minutes to go
Before you said it would be that long 15 minutes ago

Ooh ooh oooooooh...

Eighteen out of the blocks
They couldn't wait to stop you so you knocked off their socks
With all the making up for lost time
Makes up past experience and adrenaline

Ooh ooh oooooooh...

Sink that ship, do it all in one go
And you rock that boat, and they can't say no
Do what you like, that's alright
You gotta make mistakes, that's what it takes
Sink that ship, do it all in one go
Seeing all the sights, cause they're all very nice
Have that next with your eye on the decks
You've gotta take that risk
Or you'll blink and you've missed it

Ooh ooh oooooooh...

Rewind back to the start
I'm good for nothing, but you looked for the heart
And now you're angry, counting to ten
I wouldn't do it slowly but I'd do it again

Ooh ooh oooooooh...

Sink that ship, do it all in one go
And you rock that boat, and they can't say no
Do what you like, that's alright
You gotta make mistakes, that's what it takes
Sink that ship, do it all in one go
Seeing all the sights, cause they're all very nice
Have that next with your eye on the decks
You've gotta take that risk
Or you'll blink and you've missed it

2. Hard Times Send Me

Hard times send me round the bendy
All I'm spending, is all weekending,
You're on my street, but we don't meet,
I've got neighbours, total strangers

Spend the day with a friend, relax and go for meal. Spend the day with a friend..
STOP!!

All week working, two nights drinking,
Was it worth it? What you thinking?
So let's quit work to-morrow morning,
The public transport, smells like urine

I'm the king of the world and you're the king of my tribe here,
Try to give it a whirl, You don't know you might even like it,
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la STOP!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Why you rubbing your eyes? When you know that its making them redder,
Why you rubbing your eyes, right now it's not making them better

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la STOP!!
Ohhhh!

3. Think About You (And I Like It)

Hold me down I'm so excited
Feeling good but slightly frightened too
I feel it in my blood and I like it
I think about you, oh when I'm leaving
Hold me back I'm so exhausted
Never happened like we reported to
It scares me half to death and I like it
I think about you, oh and I'm leaving town

I think about you and I think about leaving
I think about you before I think about breathing
I think about you when I think about leaving
I think about you...

Oh my God, I can't believe it
They're still waiting to recieve it now
I take you in my arms and I like it
I think about you, oh when I'm leaving home

I think about you and I think about leaving
I think about you before I think about breathing
I think about you when I think about leaving
I think about you...

4. Not Surprised

Hey, I'm back again
Did I see you in the park?
But the evening came
And I lost you in the dark
Past the village greens
You were crouching by the bins
You were on your own
And hanging by the swings

And I was surprised
Now I'm not surprised
That you changed your mind
And you tried to hide [x2]

And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody except you
And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody else

Hey, I'm back again
Was the world too small for you?
You were gone a year
Have you done everything to do?
It's a sad affair
Because nobody ever wins
Down the fire escape
I'll meet you by the bins

And I was surprised
Now I'm not surprised
That you changed your mind
And you tried to hide [x2]

And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody except you
And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody else

And so far it's been civilized
So far it's been fine
It's just the way it used to be
Remember that you're mine

And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody except you
And I don't feel comfortable talking
To anybody else [x2]

6. Seventeen Cups

Have a cup of tea to pass the time
It doesn't pass enough so I have nine
And everything to do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And it's 'cause secretly I know
I'll be home soon
But that's true

Have another cup to celebrate
It doesn't cheer me up so I have eight
Put my stuff in the washing machine
And you know when it goes in dirty
It comes out clean
There's not much on the TV this afternoon
Except Boone

In my room there's not a lot to do
So if I let you in please don't touch anything
And if you're in my room there isn't much to do
So if I let you in don't touch a thing

And everything to do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And you know nothing in this world compares to you
And there is nothing left for you outside this room

And it's like everything you do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And you know nothing in this world compares to you
And there is nothing left for you outside this room

La la la, la la la la la, la la la...

7. Take My Temperature

Let's take a look at your eyes they're bloody mental
swelled to the size of the Lincoln Continental
a bag of nerves and a pack of Berkley menthols
and I can tell by your teeth you've had a good life!

you should take my temperature
my god, I'm too unwell to be here hey hey hey
you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees in the shade over here

you said your sister, she stumbled to a party
because there's someone you like who's at the party
you fell asleep on the coats before it started
and i can tell by the coats this is a nice place!

you can take my temperature
my god, I'm too unwell to be here hey hey hey
you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees in the shade over here

and now you tell me you've gone south for the winter (oo ah)
and i can count my friends upon my fingers (oo ah)
my hands are cold and i cannot feel my fingers (oo ah)
and i can tell by your tan your pretty healthy

you should take my temperature
my god, I'm too unwell to be here hey hey hey
you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees in the shade over here

oooooooh
oooooooooooooh
oooooooooooooooooh

you should take my temperature
my god, I'm too unwell to be here hey hey hey
you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees in the shade over here

you can take my temperature
my god, I'm too unwell to be here hey hey hey
you can take my temperature
coz i'm a hundred degrees in the shade over here

1. Everyday I Love You Less And Less

Everyday I love you less and less
It's clear to see that you've become obsessed
I've got to get this message to the press
That everyday I love you less and less
And everyday I love you less and less
I've got to get this feeling off my chest
The Doctor says all I needs pills and rest
Since everyday I love you less and less
Unless, unless
I know, I feel it in my bones
I'm sick, I'm tired of staying in control
Oh yes, I feel a rat upon a wheel
i've got to know what's not and what's real
Oh yes I'm stressed, I'm sorry I digressed
Impressed you're dressed to SOS
Oh, and my parents love me
Oh, and my girlfriend loves me
Everyday I love you less and less
I can't believe once you and me did sex
It makes me sick to think of you undressed
Since everyday I love you less and less
And everyday I love you less and less
You're turning into something I detest
And everybody says that your a mess
Since everyday I love you less and less
Unless, unless
I know, I feel it in my bones
I'm sick, I'm tired of staying in control
Oh yes, I feel a rat upon a wheel
I've got to know what's not and what is real
Oh yes I'm stressed, I'm sorry I digressed
Impressed you're dressed to SOS
Oh, and my parents love me
Oh, and my girlfriend loves me
Oh, they keep photos of me
Oh, thats enough love for me
Oh, and my parents love me
Oh, and my girlfriend loves me
Oh, they keep photos of me
Oh, thats enough love for me

2. I Predict A Riot

Watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It's not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never of happened to Smeaton
An old leodensian
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I tried to get to my taxi
The man in a tracksuit attacks me
He said that he saw it before me
And wants to get things a bit gory
Girls scrabble round with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat they'd be frozen
they're not very sensible
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there
Watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It's not very sensible
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
