FALL DOWN

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 Thought police have busted in And broken up and stolen almost everything They've a job to do a special mission To reinstate their point of view It's in with the old order out with the new They're the guys that wrote that song That's been playing on the airwaves all day long It's a catchy tune hummable melody And you can't drive it from your brain It's got a chorus that repeats over and over again Window, opportunity I got a message and it comes for free There's another way that way is real But you just won't get it till the walls fall down

NUMBER ONE

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 Now brains and emotion have never been friends If you ask my opinion it always depends Better hang on to what you got (x2) Now love and confusion have always been true I hate to break the illusion but what can you do Better hang on to what you got (x2) Chorus: You had a girl you'd give anything for one more chance But you threw it away you've got yourself to blame (x2) Now I've never been one for giving advice In a strange situation don't start throwing dice Better hang on to what you got (x2) You had a girl you'd give anything for one more chance But you threw it away you've got yourself to blame (x2) C’mon! You had a girl you'd give anything for one more You had a girl you'd give anything for one more chance But you threw it away you've got yourself But you threw it away you've got yourself to blame

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 There will never be an ending but there's always change so all the things that you're defending have been rearranged but it's so hard to talk to you you're never there With my adjusted way of thinking I shouldn't care Now I know that nothing lasts forever so long everything's going to be that much better now I know that nothing lasts forever everything's going to be that much better you're the one that should be saying sorry all you ever did was make me want to talk to you These are moments I can't get over so how can you ever look over your shoulder Find something new or are you playing best defence with armour on you can only take a beating Don't prove me wrong Now I know that nothing lasts forever so long everything's going to be that much better now I know that nothing lasts forever everything's going to be that much better you're the one that should be saying sorry all you ever did was make me want to talk to you And that's why when we talk about the past I could sit with you for hours And that's why I say that we'll never be the same but I can't explain forever Nothing ever stays the same feelings just get in the way Every hour of every day when there's no more left to say You can watch your colours fade but you can't sit still forever You can't sit still

EVEREADY

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 Hahaha, Yeah, 1,2,3,4, Alright Verse 1: One night to make it up One night to break it up One thing that takes me away One reason to make it ok I like the things of old Like a night on sixties soul One night to make it up One reason is never enough There's a way to live and there's a way of dying Verse 2: One thing that I can't stand Another jealous big hair band One thing that I hate most Your hurting the ones close oh no Don't like the way you look Don't want to read your book Spat in the hand I shook Don't want your new hook There's a way to live and there's a way of dying out (x2) Chorus: Contradiction is my name When I fall down and I get up It all feels the same When you play their game It all feels the same Check, check, check, Verse 1 There's a way to live and there's a way of dying out Chorus It feels the same Verse 2 The time for choosing's now what will you do One night to make it up (x4)

OCTOBER

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 Verse 1: I’m telling you this is too good to be true When the most we have to do is open windows So, just let your worries drown in a smile lose that frown Yeah, we’ll both still be around come the morning Pre-Chorus: When summer ends She just want’s to be friends Her mind’s mixed up Chorus: Got a year to go till next October To make sure the season’s not over Get me straight and get me sober again Verse 2: Are you joking? We got almost everything You don’t pay that bird to sing out the daytime And the sun sets on the beach, I could swear it’s trying to reach With two golden hands as if to try and touch you Pre Chorus Chorus Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba… Pre Chorus Chorus (x2) Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba…

YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS BRAVE

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 Verse 1: Yesterday when I was brave I didn’t fold I didn’t cave Gave freedom to every slave I’d ever harboured Yesterday when I was strong I made a right of every wrong That had been around so long I’d just got used to Chorus: Where do you go? Who do you keep running from? The world has only kept you down Where do you go? Who do you keep running from? The world has only kept you down Verse 2: Yesterday when I was brave I saw a future I could save Nothing else stood in my way could ever stop me Yesterday anything was a possibility because I believed and so it was that nothing broke me Chorus Verse 1 Chorus

GANGSTA

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 He wakes up cold in the morning Another day on the run Making sure his double life don't come undone His hands are full but there's nothing To show for every late night Spent running from his shadow Just get it right, just get it right Now your in further than you've ever been before Little big lie (x2) Further than you've ever been before Just another little lie A nervous walk through the city He’s got to cover his tracks Check for familiar faces better watch your back He got no rest now he's wicked Just toss and turn every night Going over his stories To get em right, Just get it right Now your in further than you've ever been before Little big lie (x2) Further than you've ever been before Little big lie (x2) Further than you've ever been before Just another little lie That's what I'm talk'n about fucker a great big dirty lie His hands are full but there's nothing To show for every late night Spent running from his shadow Just get it right, just get it right Now your in further than you've ever been before Little big lie (x2) Further than you've ever been before Little big lie (x2) Further than you've ever been before Little big lie (x2) Further than you've ever been before Just another little lie

IF YOU WANT IT

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 Going through these old scrapbooks where the pasts been laid to rest Innocence clashes with ambition puts it to the test CHORUS: Now it's over and this is where we've arrived Most others would just be happy that they'd survived Cos they all want it, they want it, but they just dont get it now Cutting through all the late night stoned up talk of being blessed Sure life's got complicated but someday babies must be dressed CHORUS Get a grip of your true friends, collect your conciousness Then maybe if you want it, you want it, you just might get it You want it, you want it, you just might get it (x2) You want it, you want it, you just might get it now

COUNTRY HOLIDAY SONG

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 Alright Come and take a drive out of the city Packed some smoke and some wine in an esky Got to get the hell out of the suburbs Hit the open road where the air's pure Chorus: And if the sun doesn't fall on your shoulder As we make our way south past the beach Then I could die a million deaths of disappointment I promised you your best times would be times spent with me Even in my car it shouldn't take long We'll find a nice looking pier to park our chairs on Leave the trouble of distance behind us Throw in fishing rods got for christmas Chorus We'll make good time (x3) Taking it easy cos we can We'll make good time (x3) Taking it easy cos we can Chorus We'll make good time (x3) Taking it easy cos we can

RICOCHET

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 You are everything Everything you are You bleed like a saint Yo shine like a star I am everywhere You are when I can Front row every show I'm your biggest fan Chorus: When everything gets blown away Bouncing off of walls My heart ricochets While soundwaves speed Right through my veins My face hits the floor It's happening again Pass this message on It's for you from me For nobody else Just for you to see My life’s soundtrack Is in your hands Don't go anywhere Don't make any plans Chorus (x2)

BALTIC BALLET

ALBUM: JEBEDIAH, 2002 Remember the curse we called sixteen and that summer was the hottest it had ever been we went walking, just walking through those brown brick rows through the suburbs the only world that anyone there knows Chorus: you almost lost your balance walking the fence one side was cold like ice the other hot like fire events spiralled just like some baltic ballet and given half the chance to do it over could you do it again alright remember the joy we called eighteen and that summer we were more drunk than we'd ever been and the night time always heralded something new and the only thing we needed was me and just me and you Chorus yeah I was singing your tune every afternoon I kept on singing your tune remember (x3) do you Chorus Do it again (till fade) (Only you could love this I got a gut when I sit down it seems that you don't even care at all and those summer tunes can make you forget almost anything you want to (x2))
