MINUTES

ALBUM: GLEESIDES & SPARIITIES, 2003 Don't take my love away It's the only thing I've got. Take this throat instead, Coz it isn't worth a lot. And I'll write it in the sand, Just so you understand That the ground that I walk on Won't be here when you're gone, And I'll fall into a hole Failing without you, No matter what you do. [Repeat] Minutes to Midnight The stars are out, the feeling's right. Minutes to happiness To you, my truth I must confess. [Repeat] Don't take my love away It's the only thing I've got. Take this throat instead, Coz it isn't worth a lot. And I'll write it in the sand, Just so you understand That the ground that I walk on Won't be here when you're gone, And I'll fall into a hole Failing without you, No matter what you do.

MONUMENT

ALBUM: GLEESIDES & SPARIITIES, 2003 Verse 1: I'm really gonna pack in this new job I do It's gonna be the death of me I went to a party of some girl that I knew At least the alcohol was free With all the family around We couldn't find a common ground And so we left with what we found When we first came so Chorus: Where you been, where you been, where'd you go Leaving me alone and feeling low I'm supposed to be the one you want I'm supposed to be the one you want Verse 2: I'm supposed to be the one you want I know that I don't earn one hundred points in bed But will you love me anyway It's just that there's so much going on in my head That I don't know what to say Your car rolled away out of sight You can not leave without a fight Okay you lose so we were right When we first came so Chorus x 2

TELEVISION LIES

ALBUM: GLEESIDES & SPARIITIES, 2003 You're television lies to you so stoke the hype machine and let the show begin. They've got the life that dreams are made of. Throw in you're hand this is a game you'll never win. Oh yeah! Call that something? I call it nothing! You're television lies to you, feeding you're fantasies of how you wanna live. Reality's got less attraction. To have it all there's nothing that you wouldn't give. Cos the pretty boys and pretty girls never lose and have more fun. Call that something? I call it nothing! So forget the free advice m'man 'cos the damage has been done. Call that something? I call it nothing, no! You're television lies to you so stoke the hype machine and let the show begin. They've got the life that dreams are made of. Throw in you're hand this is a game you'll never win. Oh yeah! Call that something? I call it nothing!

CLINT

ALBUM: GLEESIDES & SPARIITIES, 2003 Some things will stay the same The shape of a power point won't change And i won't back away and run If you make me feel strange She's the hand at the end of the arm And she's got a lot to say She thinks the world is falling apart But that's okay she just wants to be happy A place for everything and everything in its place I get better, wait and see She amazes me it's kinda hard to see in here But there's nothing to see so who cares? Drank coffee all night and now i can't sleep I think i opened a secret file i let her look for a little while And now i'm waiting for the ambulance to arrive She just wants to be happy a place for everything And everything in its place i had better wait and see She amazes me I couldn't understand the instructions And the clock sounds like it's ticking slow And this book is in another language A language i don't know I used to tie double knots But now i couldn't be fucked things are getting stupider all the time She just wants to be happy A place for everything and everything in its place I had better wait and see she amazes me, you're confusing me You're confusing me

HEY PRESTO!

ALBUM: GLEESIDES & SPARIITIES, 2003 She starts out motherly taking you out for tea. You get you're drinks for free hey presto happy families! Sometimes when she's not right she pulls her purse strings tight. And then we get into a fight, we're losing her again oh! The world is all she wants, never before has she needed us more. Things used to be different when we were happy friends. Even the times it was pretend, still happy in the end. When did it all go wrong? Was it wrong all along? When did we stop turning you on? We're losing her again, oh! The world is all she wants, never before has she needed us more.

WHEN THE GENERALS TALK

ALBUM: GLEESIDES & SPARIITIES, 2003 Up there on the platform He is speaking to the people The people are responding With clapping and a'cheering But the meaning of the message Not revealed to those assembled They're taken for a ride Taken In his stride When the Generals talk You better listen to him When the Generals talk You better do what he say There's a rumour in the ranking Someone's talking insurrection So the General has a purge 'Cos he wants to win elections With the certain satisfaction That the people are appeased Long live the revoluton The General's very pleased Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground The fat cats still push the thin cats around
