Farce

The Can't fin the answer
It's locked up where they ought to be
The wine and the banter
It's all go in the office
But we're all in this together until the very end
And we all call farce then they pull the wool again
It's one rule for us and another rule for the makers
They send out the fuzz and inhibit the papers
It's hard to decipher the bullshit from the evident
but you can't kid a Fifer and manifest malevolent

I was up before 7 pulled a shirt over my head
Made my way down to the kitchen for some breakfast
But there was nothing in the fridge
Cause I forgot to shop for it
Now I'm going to work completely unreplenished
Now I've had a dozen coffee's and I've had a dozen fgas
cause i was up till early in the morning
and it's typical of me to be too wired to sleep
so forgive me later if you catch me yawning
I'll tak the high road and you'll tak the low road
must be nice to have comtrol of your habits
but I'd rather be like me tha be dead before I'm deid
I'll have plenty of time to rest in my coffin
I got nothing done today cause I forgot to rest my brain
and my boss is at my desk and he's moaning
He said all your work is late
and I'm up to here with it
so you'll be signing on in the morning
Then I went back to my home and thanked god I was alone
Didn't notice that the house was like a bomb site
And I done nothing at all
Till my wife came home and yelled
You'll be sleeping on the couch for another night

City Bar

I'm playing in a city bar tonight
I'm playing all the usual shite
learned evey song by that band your uncle love
and though folk'l chitter chatter I don't mind
That's just the nature of the ride
got to give 'em what the like
Or more or less
And I'll turn the amplifier to the roof
but you won't hear me from your hoose
I'm not on TV, I'm in the toon
so it's really up to you
you can catch a real boy
strumming along to his real life pain
But i won't be here every day
I'm playing in your local bar tonight
That's 40 miles I'm gonna drive
and I know you've got a million things to do and so little time
But if you could spare an hour for a pint
I swear I'll play something you like
And I'll get paid and I will live another day

All the beasts

All the beasts that I've seen
All the roads I've run
I come from a long line of sinners
and I guess I'm also one
Deep deep in me I'm yearning
with your ghost so close to me
I just need to keep moving
I'm in no mood to die
You can lead a horse to the water
You can circulate your lies
Your can through me down to the gutter
but you'll never take me alive
For good I'm heading on now
Free from the things I've done
I'm too old to be a wandering soul
and I've not one intent to die
deep deep in me I'm burning
next to your ghost as cold as ice
Better keep wandering
Cause i've no intent to die

The Risk
02:56

We work hard for our money
we have done for years
we work hard for a couple of beers
a couple of our friends are into the same scene as us
so we try to meet up with them when we're available
I've got a cupboard in my house
full of unfinished whisky that'll never get drunk
I'd like to think some day
I might convince some'dy to come with sit with me sit with me drink with me
We were so full of whimsy in the old days
we were always preoccupied
mostly with ourselves and our images
ominous fragrances
unfinished cadences
completely oblivious to the tyrany of gravity
Oh when you live in a box
there isn't a moment to contemplate loss
When you're completely lost
It's embarressing, damaging
when you're coming in harsh like you're the sum of all things
when you're coming in hard
Come with me now
forget the risk
we could have been so much better than this

Vessel
02:34

I plunged my car into the sea
so see if I could sail
A Ford Escort to any port
A million miles away
But the sea is cold
the sea is deep
so deep that I can see
that a car is not a vessel you can sail across the sea
The water seeped through the cracks and holes
and soaked me to the bone
and at that moment I could see
how this was gonna go
A sudden dread came over me
My body shook with fear
of all the tales that ever I told
My story endeth here
