she had something to confess to
but you don't have the time so
look the other way
you will wait until it's over:
to reveal what you'd never shown her
too little much too late
too long trying to resist it,
you've just gone and missed it,
it's escaped your world
can you see that I am needing,
begging for so much more
than you could ever give
and I don't want you to adore me,
don't want you to ignore me
when it pleases you yeah
and, I'll do it on my own
I have played in every toilet,
but you still want to spoil it,
to prove I've made a big mistake
too long trying to resist it,
you've just gone and missed it,
it's escaped your world
can you see that I am needing,
begging for so much more
than you could ever give
and I don't want you to adore me,
don't want you to ignore me
when it pleases you yeah
so I'll do it on my own
and I'll do it all by myself
you will never make it
it's happening soon
it's happening soon
its scent has been blowing in my direction
to me it is new
to me it is new
and it's not gonna change for anybody
and it's gonna be
our last memory
and it's led me on and on
to you
it's got to be here
it's got to be there
it's got to be now
or I'll
lose forever
to me it is strange
this feeling is strange
but it's not gonna change for anybody
and it's gonna be
our last memory
and it's led me on and on
to you
accuse me
trust me, I never knew
that you were the one
you were the one
and it's gonna be
our last memory
and it's led me on and on
to
you
and it's gonna be
our last memory
and it's led me on and on
to
you
falling down

I'm heading straight for the clouds
cave
leave me alone it's nothing serious
I'll do it myself, it's got nothing to do with you
and there's nothing that you could do
you can see it and you can almost hear it too
you can almost taste it, it's nothing to do with you
and there's still nothing that you could do
so come in my cave
and I'll burn your heart away
so come in my cave
and I'll burn your heart away
please close your ears and try to look away
so you'll never hear a... a single word I say
and don't ever come my way
leave me alone it's nothing serious
I'll do it myself, it's got nothing to do with you
and there's still nothing that you could do
so come in my cave
and I'll burn your heart away
come in my cave
and arrest me for my mistakes
showbiz
controlling my feelings for too long
controlling my feelings for too long
forcing our darkest souls to unfold
and forcing our darkest souls to unfold
and pushing us in to self-destruction
pushing us in to self-destruction
and they make me
make me dream your dreams
and they make me
make me scream your screams
trying to please you for too long
trying to please you for too long
and visions of greed you wallow
and visions of greed you wallow
controlling my feelings for too long
controlling my feelings for too long
and forcing my darkest souls to unfold
and forcing my darkest souls to unfold
and pushing us into self-destruction
and pushing us into self-destruction
and they make me
make me dream your dreams
and they make me
make me scream your screams
you could be my unintended
choice to live my life extended
you could be the one I'll always love
you could be the one who listens
to my deepest inquisitions
you could be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can
but i'm busy mending broken
pieces of the life I had before
first there was the one who challenged
all my dreams and all my balance
she could never be as good as you
you could be my unintended
choice to live my life extended
you should be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can
but I'm busy mending broken
pieces of the life I had before
this means nothing to me
'cause you are nothing to me
and it means nothing to me
that you blew this away
'cause you could've been number one
if you only found the time
and you could've ruled the whole world
if you had the chance
you could have been number one
and you could've ruled the whole world
and we could've had so much fun
but you blew it away
you're still nothing to me
and this is nothing to me
and you don't know what you've done
but, I'll give you a clue
you could've been number one
if you only had the chance
and you could've ruled the whole world
if you had the time
you could have been number one
and you could've ruled the whole world
and we could've had so much fun
but you blew it away
sober
Royal Canadian Blended
the spicy aroma had mended me
matured for years and imported
into my glass you poured it
and you're the only reason
that I remain unfrozen
suppose it stands to reason
that you would turn on me
you're so solid
you're so solid
it burns inside of me
'cause you're so solid
it burns inside of me
the wild turkey's been chosen
it's caramel nose could smell me
Arbourler/Jameson I love you
the single malts came burning
and you're the only reason
that I remain unfrozen
suppose it stands to reason
that you would turn on me
you're so solid
you're so solid
it burns inside of me
'cause you're so solid
it burns inside of me
Royal Canadian Blended
the spicy aroma had mended me
and you're the only reason
that I remain unfrozen
suppose it stands to reason
that you would turn on me
you're so solid
and you're so solid
it burns inside of me
'cause you're so solid
it burns inside of me
note: when played live, matt usually sings
"It's running wild through my brain veins
and only hatred remains"
instead of
"Arbourler/Jameson I love you
The single malts came burning"
escape
you would say anything
and you would try anything
to escape your meaningless
and your insignificance
you're uncontrollable
and we are unloveable
and I don't want you to think that I care
I never would, I never could again
why can't you just love her
and why be such a monster
you bully from a distance
your brain needs some assistance
but I'll still take all the blame
'cause you and me are both one and the same
and it's driving me mad
and it's driving me mad
I'll take back all the things that I said
I didn't realise I was talking to the living dead
and I don't want you to think that I care
I never would, I never could again
you would say anything
and you would try anything
to escape your meaningless
and your insignificance
you needed it when I was away
and no matter what I say
you'll never forget when I wasn't there
so why should I care?
I'm young but I know that I'm aroused
you know that I care
you should've been there
you know that I care
you should've been there
it doesn't matter where I have gone
I just can't afford to
pay for all the mistakes that you have made
pt's about time I was paid
I'm young but I know that I'm aroused
you know that I care
you should've been there
you know that I care
you should've been there
you should've been there
you should've been there
hate this & i'll love you
|
oh I am growing tired
of allowing you to steal...
everything I have
you're making me feel
like I was born to service you
but I am growing by the hour
you left us far behind
so we all discard our souls
and blaze through your skies
so unafraid to die
'cause I was born to destroy you
and I am growing by the hour
and I'm getting strong in every way
yeah...
you led me on
you've led me on
and I'm getting strong in every way...
who's ever known
how much to moan and groan
and quiver inside
with needs to give you
everything you need
is it enough
you're running out of time
as it grows in your eye
feel broken inside you feel
sigh, static moans
a storm growing strong
and it's coming my way
still she gives you
everything you need
is it enough
you're running out of time
as it grows in your eye
you'll feel broken inside
you'll feel
and I'll feel broken inside you
feel..
broken inside you..
feel...
note: Spiral
Static was originally only available on the Japanese release of Showbiz. it
wasn't recorded before, as matthew had difficulties with singing it, but he
reckons the album is definately more complete with it. the song can now also be
found as a b-side to Plug In Baby.
