PUCKDEFENDER (LIVE AT THE WIRELESS)
ALBUM: LIVE AT THE WIRELESS, 1997
Verse 1:
You and me tie ourselves on to the railway
Tugging on things that catch us up
Sitting off things that fly us down the freeway
Blowing our brew from plastic cups
Chorus:
Nothing to do, (when you're) in this situation
The pilots are drunk, we're all dead
Proving we're worth, the casual observation
Proving we're worth the food we're fed
And I'm hurking up the pieces
All the pieces that I've found
And I'm picking up the pieces
Off the ground, Yeah
Verse 2:
You and me fall down onto the wrong side
Laughing at those that pushed us down
Climbing back up, we enjoy the free ride
Climbing back up but they've all gone
Chorus
Verse 1
Chorus
LEAVING HOME (LIVE AT THE WIRELESS)
ALBUM: LIVE AT THE WIRELESS, 1997
Verse 1:
Were you laughed at by your friends
And were you lost for words when everybody finally told you what they thought
You can't keep up with the trend
It makes you lose but somehow everybody always makes up in the end
Oh, was it something that I ate
Oh, didn't even touch my plate
Oh, suddenly I'm feeling great
Do you like me now
Chorus:
Leaving home, life was never good to me
Leaving home, I smell the morning air
Leaving home, life was never good
You can work it out we're leaving home
Verse 2:
I could hear them through the door
As people came in laughing at the way they acted when they were alone
And an argument can start with nothing more than this
To be the light and leave you standing on your own
Oh, am I doing it again
Oh, I'm a loser now and then
Oh, and I smile at everything
Do you like me now
Chorus
Verse 3:
Hope I like the life I find when I leave everything behind
I hope I'm sure I've made my mind to go and leave home
Chorus
INVADERS (LIVE AT THE WIRELESS)
ALBUM: LIVE AT THE WIRELESS, 1997
Verse 1:
It was in the evening, or was it afternoon
It doesn't really matter, they were in my room
No there no here to save you x3
No there not
Chorus:
One by one
They tricked me one by one
They stripped me one by one
They fixed me one by one
Invaders picked me
Verse 2:
I thought that I should go now but I just had to stay
Stick around and listen to what they had to say
No we're not going to hurt you x3
No we're not
Chorus
Change:
Ohhhh, arrggghhh, oohhh
Invaders, Invaders, Invaders, Invaders
Ooh, I like their eyes, like buggy flies
Their purple skies, where no one dies,
Their silken hair, and what they wear
Without a care for nothing
Say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Backing: Watch out for invaders...
WEEKEND AWAY (LIVE AT THE WIRELESS)
ALBUM: LIVE AT THE WIRELESS, 1997
I gotta go gotta get away just for the weekend
I've gotta go cos I just can't stay just for the weekend
And when I go leave the shit behind just for the weekend
And may be then something good I'll find just for the weekend
You've gone and run in the wrong direction x 2
Now you're so fallin in love, you're so falling alone
I don't care this is not my problem
There's not a lot that I'll have to take just for the weekend
There's not a smile that I'll have to fake just for the weekend
And when I go leave the shit behind just for the weekend
And maybe then find some peice of mind just for the weekend
You've gone and run in the wrong direction x 2
Now you're so fallin in love, you're so falling alone
I don't care this is not the real thing
What's forever when I leave
Wipe myself with my soggy sleave x 4
MILITARY STRONGMEN (LIVE AT THE WIRELESS)
ALBUM: LIVE AT THE WIRELESS, 1997
Verse 1:
I'm on parade, you don't say: why can't you see that
Keeping my feelings at bay: why can't you see that when
When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you x 2
I'm just better off...
Verse 2:
All of the years add up to: why can't you see that
Something has happened to you: why can't you see that when
When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you x 4
You just get me down
It's not me, it can't be
I'd rather leave
It's getting hard, to be a part
Of what is around
Is this the situation of the time
If so you can have yours, I want mine
I know there's something better you could be
Now I am past caring, completely
When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you x 4

It's not me, it can't be

I know there's something better you could be
Now I am past caring, completely
When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you x 4
TEFLON (LIVE AT THE WIRELESS)
ALBUM: LIVE AT THE WIRELESS, 1997
We were going along
To a particular song
Just hanging around
Feet scuffing the ground
Catching us on a roll
We were collecting the dole
Doesn't mean something's wrong
We were just slipping along
Slipping along
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
At a party we found
People hanging around
There was nothing to do
We were smoking a few
Saw two girls outside
They were both pretty wired
I thought something was wrong
But they were just getting it on
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on
Yeah
We were going along
To a particular song
Just hanging around
Feet scuffing the ground
Catching us on roll
We were collecting the dole
doesn't mean something's wrong
We were just slipping along
Slipping along
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on
Yeah
At a party we found
People hanging around
There was nothing to do
We were smoking a few
Saw two girls outside
They were both pretty wired
I thought something was wrong
But they were just getting it on
Getting along
Yeah
Slipping along
Yeah, Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on, and on... (fade out)
