HORRORSHOW 

The rope round my neck
The streak in my hair
The spring in my step
From the socks that I wear

And when I play this song,
It's like I'm still there
And you don't know what it means to me

Cos I try my best to be the best that I can
I want so much to be everybody's friend

Well if it's supposed to hurt
It hasn't done yet
The best of the few
That haven't been met

And the simplest thing could remind me of that
That soft-spoken lie
I'll never forget

Sing!

I try my best to be the best that I can
I want so much to be everybody's friend
Oh yeah, I try my best to be the best that I can
I try so hard to be everybody's friend

And I try
Yes I try

I want so much to be
It's in my heart to be
I try so hard to be
It's in my heart

I try my best
I try my best
And no, I don't sleep
I never rest

My aching heart
Is emptiest
When I'm alone

The way that I think,
It seldom makes sense
The words don't come out
The way they were meant
So if I'm quiet
Please don't take offence

Cause you don't know what it means to me
No, you don't know what it means to me
No, you don't know what it means to me
No, you don't know what it means to me
No,
No,
No,
No...

IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL 

There's something in my head that I've wanted to say,
When some of these ideas, they won't go away,
And all of my demons, they come out to play,
I wish I had more control of myself because...,

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,

Don't ask me what I think of science and art,
I've got all these questions locked up in my heart,
There's too much to do and I don't know where to start,
Just wish that I had more control of myself because...,

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,

I know sometimes it seems like I got it going on,
I don't, you wouldn't believe, and oh,
Sometimes my dreams are so far-fetched,
That I cannot begin to conceive a way out,
Lyrics

Yeah,
Yeah, a way out,

It's a waste of my time,
It's a waste of my mind,

It's a waste of my time,
It's a waste of my mind,

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,

No,

KEEP IT TO YOURSELF 

What you say?, Skies are grey?, Had a bad day?,
Well, hip hooray, I've had a bad one too,
I've missed the trains, been to pains, blown my brains
and,
I don't want to hear it all again from you,
So...,

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else,

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else, no,

So you know someone who doesn't like me?,
They told you that they really hate my guts?, (HATE MY
GUTS)
I don't need you as a middle-man, they can tell me
themselves,
That is, if they have the nuts,

And as for bad things you knew were gonna happen,
That retrospective bullshit's got to go,
Don't looks so smug - makes you ugly in this light, and
no,
I don't wanna know, and especially no "I told you so",

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else,

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else,

Shut up,
Just shut up,
JUST SHUT UP,
Just shut your face,

WELL, GO,

(Guitar Solo)

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else, (TELL NOBODY)

Keep it to yourself, (ANYBODY)
Keep it to yourself, (TELL NOBODY)
Keep it to yourself, (TELL NOBODY)
Tell nobody else, no, (TELL NOBODY)

(TELL NOBODY)
(TELL NOBODY)
(TELL NOBODY)
(NO)

LET'S STOP HANGING OUT 

Of all the things that you do best,
Disaster makes you happiest.
So burn the clothes that you are in,
They stink of smoke the sweat the sin.

And you cry 'cos I'm so calm inside
You scream, you sob, "I'll run, I'll hide"
And still we have no answer to
The question: What do we do?

Oh, let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Stand in the corner
And think about what you've done

Oh it's easy to over simplify
When you are not involved
And I get so angry when someone can say
"The answer's there - as clear as day!"

And there is a possibility
That you could still cling on to me
'Cos you're filled with such regret
But oh you must have had your reasons

Oh, let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Stand in the corner
And think about what you've done
Oh, let't stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
You deserve to be with no one!
No one!
No one!
No one!

Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun

Yeah right!
Yeah!

Of all the things that you do best
Of all the things that you do best
Of all the things that you do best
Of all the things that you do best

Let's stop hanging out!
Yeah, yeah, yeah let's stop hanging out!
Let's stop hanging out!
Let's stop, let's stop hanging out!

LIGHTS OUT 

So here's how it is,
I'm tired of being tired,
Bored of being bored,
(But I don't wanna be lonely)

She's looking at me,
And I cannot see,
A place we agree,
(But I don't wanna be lonely)

I don't make her laugh,
I don't make her smile,
I don't make her move,
(But I don't wanna be lonely)

And I'm mouthing these words,
I'm dying to say,
To someone I think I know,

It's a joke got out of hand,
But I think I understand,

And it won't be long before I get the guts,
To risk lonliness and do these things I must,
To ignore my head and put all my trust,
In my heart,

'Cause I don't want this,
No, I don't want this, no, no,

Here's how it is,
You like the idea,
Of someone around,
('Cause you don't wanna be lonely)

It's not about you,
It's not about me,
It's not about us at all,

It's a story so old it's been told and re-told,
And if I want my freedom, I've got to be bold,

It's a shame and it's a crime,
I have wasted all this time,

'Cause I've known for months all the moves to make,
And goodbyes, they give me a belly ache,
So no "One last kiss for all times sake",
'Cause I'm gone,

YEAH,

THROWN AGAIN,
THROWN AGAIN,
THROWN AGAIN, OH,

Yes, let's talk about all the things we have in common,
If these are mistakes then I would make them all again,
It's so unbelievable you actually exist,
Let's make this a memory of us,'Cause we've got

Lights out, sound low,
I wanna know, how far can this go?,
Lights out, sound low,
I wanna know, how far can this go?,

Lights out, sound low,
I wanna know, how far can this go?,
Lights out, sound low,
I wanna know, how far can this go?,

'Cause we were born for tonight,
For this very moment,
We were born for tonight,
For these secrets stolen,

LIGHTS OUT,
LIGHTS OUT,
LIGHTS OUT,
LIGHTS OUT,

LIGHTS OUT,
LIGHTS OUT,
LIGHTS OUT,
LIGHTS...

LISSOM SLO 

All things have ended
My boy is brain dead
And I can't be here
It's real enough for me

Heaven I know for sure
But I can't feel anymore

Turn off the machine
Turn off the machine

Get up, get dressed and
It's all so pointless
I can't do this
I'm sorry

But how can I breathe
When he can't breathe?

Turn off the machine
Turn off the machine

It'll take a little time to re-align
But I won't forget you
Takes a little time to re-align
No I don't forget you

You...

MISSING FINGERS 

Wear something red and sexy
So I won't know it's you
It's been so long that I have
Forgotten what to do
Do I pick up the whole bill
Or split between the two
How will you ever see my scars?

Tourette's is a disease that makes you tell the truth
I have contracted it in the last days of my youth

What about those missing fingers
Think they've made lesser men
Grip hold of casted metal
Lets suck on our champagne
If I become a cripple what use will I be then
I can not even play guitar

Tourettes four letter words
Like life and love and lust
And at the base of it a thick layer of trust
Your wounded heart will heal if you don't let it rust
So love


And a little later
All of my thoughts
Are lost in the cross fire
And I'm tied in knots

Crossed my heart for you
But I got it all confused
What's a boy to do
Find it hard
Must be hard for you
Must it hard
Must be hard
I said it's hard
Must be hard

So much for that
So much for that
So much for that
So much for that
So...
So...
So...
I'll let you go
I'll let you go
I'll let you go
I'll let you go
I'll let you go
I'll let you go

MOVING TO BLACKWATER 

Hey you, talking sideways
I know you better than that
Got nothing to prove
So we got nothing to lose
When the sense sinks straight to the bottom
Hey you, you're not that
You get it out of the way

It's started, it's started
This party's always solid
You see me, I'm laughing
It's not for, It's not for

Fun
It's not for fun
It's not for fun

And it feels like both boats are sinking
And I've got one foot in each
Should I abandon the plan?
Would everyone understand?
And would I even make land if I swam?
Or just wash up on the beach
It's always out of reach and


My smile, is fragile
My heart is held together
With string and, cellotape
Be gentle please remember
With string and, cellotape
With string and, cellotape
With string and, cellotape
With string and, CELLOTAPE!!

Don't bleed, Don't bruise
It's always, good news
I can't lose, I can't lose, I can't lose
Don't bleed, Don't bruise
It's always, good news
Can't lose, can't lose
I can't lose

NO ONE WINS THE WAR 

You try my patience
I break your outer shell
It's inside the sweetness
But you hide it so well

Hell is for heroes
They got another single out
My contemporaries
Top 40 smash - no doubt

In times of trouble
I am argumentative
And I know I'll suffer
For as long as I'm am

And at the first sign of an argument
The first sign of a fight...

I crack under pressure
And my head feels like it explodes
I won't get so angry
Just another one of my episodes

When I was younger
It seemed so obvious to me
With all my problems
War-like was how I had to be

But everything changes
And I find with least exception you
If everything changes
I guess that I do too

It's all lost now
So much has happened
And it's all a mess now
And all I've achieved

And to my shame
And to my discomfort
I (I have never) have never felt so relieved

That you will find me out
Yeah you will find me out
Oh yeah you will find me out
Oh yeah you, you will find me out
Yeah you will find me out
Yeah you will find me out
Yeah you will find me out
Yeah you will find me out
Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah I'm ready!
At last I'm ready!
Yeah I'm ready!
Ready!

NOBODY LOVES YOU 

Oh... you're all alone,
Oh... I know it can feel like that,
Oh... and no one knows,
Oh... just how much you have to offer,

So here it is from me to you,
Nobody loves you like I do,
I'll say it twice because it's true,
Nobody loves you like I do,

And oh... you're talented,
And oh... but you're impatient aswell,
And oh... so quiet down,
'Cause oh... because no one listens when you're angry,

So quiet now, between us two,
Nobody loves you like I do,
A feeling that is just for you,
Nobody loves you like I do,

Like I do, like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do,
Like I do, like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do,

So don't give up, it's not the way,
And I know the things your Dad will say,
You're not getting any younger,
You're not learning anything,

But we never learn unless we're wrong,
And I've been waiting all along,
To congratulate your efforts,
You really showed them who you are,

And oh... you lost it out,
And oh... but you gave it all you had,
And oh... and in the end,
And oh... that is the best we can ever hope for,

So here it is, so don't be blue,
Nobody loves you like I do,
Something that is just for you,
Nobody loves you like I do,

Like I do, like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do,
Like I do, like I do,
Nobody loves you,

Nobody loves you like I do, (Nobody loves you)
Nobody loves you like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do, (Like I do)
Nobody loves you like I do,

Nobody loves you like I do, (Nobody loves you)
Nobody loves you like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do, (Like I do)
Nobody loves you like I do
