It's fired, it's fired My desires are shattered Take the money every time Now I'm alone I'm shocked, I'm shocked Now shut up the shop, Grab the money, it'll be fine... And go home. I'm alone, I'm alone. I'm shook I'm shook I'm shaking off the hook I'm mis-took, I'm mistaken at the end of the line Now I'm alone, I'm alone. They're all getting high They think Superman could fly But we're having a great time Now we're having a great time. Someone said, someone blinks Someone's dead & someone thinks We're alone, we're alone, we're alone?

I'm too old to act childish Too young to know any better But I'm just gay enough To be a Ray of f'king sunshine I'll fly the nest, I'll make a mess I'm on the case, now make a face I'm too bold to give it up this time... You are always there for me when I've nowhere to go I don't know how to switch off You are always there for me When times are low I don't know how to switch off I don't know how to forget I don't know how to forgive I don't know how to be free You are always there for me I'm really bad at hiding This feeling I'm describing I take on the chin like a big bad fool If you can hold your own I'll stay on hold Long gone is the time When uncool was cool Oh and you, you will come to an untimely end my friend And I have a feeling that's it So why not rejoice at your early demise? And escape from a world that's full of shiiiit

Put your hands up, do you receive me? Your blue eyes turn to dust and grey I touched your hand and said, "I'm here whenever you need me" It's too bad I lead you on I touched your hand and said how much I adore you By the way, leave your ego at the door Leave your ego at the door mmmm hmmm Why don't you for fill my ambitions? Always leave me wanting more Why don't you suspect my suspicions Always coming back for more Leave your ego at the door When I get old and I dream a dream of my lifetime What you say, it rings so true When someone offers you the dreams of your lifetime Go home... That's your cue So at the taxi rank and you're shout at some dreamboat All blue eyed no but a crooked smile Make a note you left your ego at the door Leave your ego at the door... mmm hmmm

Sold My Soul 04:36
What I hope I can do Is make it pain free with a short, sharp attack I’m feeling obligated I might just disappear, and I just might not come back I think I’ve sold my soul It was a motivated move just to pick up on some slack I’m feeling disenfranchised But when I reappear, thought I was not coming back Woo Woo I don’t know what to do With an ice cream headache, with the tracks on my back I’m feeling obligated When I disappear – well I’m not coming back I think I’ve sold my soul

The Hum 06:46
Airplane will never come Won’t be soon, won’t be long I’m my bed covered in sheets My big mouth, not discreet Aeroplane flies so hard Wonder about the people, what they are Wonder when they come, it’s my turn Now here's the hum Life or feeling? Blink my ears – I don’t care It’s not fair – being in the air Sound’s not baking in the sun I’m no fun – and I won’t be won In my bed, in the middle of the night On my own, a crescendo fright Fighting something in the air That isn’t there – will it come? Or is it the hum?
6.
Do you think it’s right? We’re all up to our ears Saturday, Friday, Monday – then years and years Confront your greatest fears Confront them – I’ll cope with the tears Saturday’s gone and the world keeps turning Sunday’s here but the world is burning Do you think it’s right when I can be wrong I love it when I’m wrong But I think I’m so strong And you can still be right (My head is burning and now I feel special) Do you think it’s right? All in it up to our heads We dream about it in our beds Come, come – it’s your fears We’ve confirmed them – time for some beers (tears) (Do you, do you think I’m really that stupid? Not a time for Martin, more a time for cupid)
7.
Help me, when I want it least You are my departure Sometimes, I wish I was at peace Is this some kind of torture (I like life) Let’s go somewhere to have fun Let’s go somewhere free and open Let’s go beyond the horizon Let your mind be free and open Let’s go – money’s not a problem Anxiety is not peace Free will and love is just an option Bad moods will now cease Let’s go somewhere where the world is a little bit better Let’s go somewhere to have fun Let’s go somewhere like I said where things are a little bit better Let’s go somewhere to have some fun I better drive
8.
I want to make it easy I want to make it short I want to make it quiet I want to make a thought I want to make it harder I want to make it long I want to make it louder I want to feel I belong I want to make it peaceful I want to make it strong I want amorous, baby I want to help things along I want to make it easier I want to make it good I want you to believe me I want to be understood If it looks the same We’ll never ever do it again If it feels that way We’ll never ever do it again Space & time Name & life Die & live Day & night
