Lyrics

'The Homework Song'

Woke up in the morning, weary to start the day
Get my uniform on, and I am on my way
Don't have time for a snack, don't have time to go back
So many books to carry, oh crap now I'm in a hurry
I have to get there by 9, oh **** I was late
Just to make matters worse, the teachers give us

Homework, oh homework
So harsh it should be a crime
Homework, oh homework
I guess that it's a sign

A sign of what?, a sign of what's to come
Irritating students keep on talking
Get that smirk off of your faces, and start listening
Passing dull moments, waiting for the bell
Feeling like OMG is this hell?
Just to make matters worse, the teachers give us

Homework, oh homework
Look before you leap teach
Homework, oh homework
Right now I feel like falling asleep

Why are we stuck in here on such a nice day?
Could be going out and shine say why is my world so grey?
Going home, playing out with the lads
That's better than working on your worthless crap
That's better than listening to you snap
Believe it or not, you made it worse by giving us

Homework, oh homework
More worthless than Irish
Homework, oh homework
More worthless than any language

'All A Dream'

When this was all a dream, all a dream, all a dream
I swam out in the sea, in the sea, in the sea
And said it would come true, come true, come true
Feel so happy when I'm around with you

When this was all a dream
(All a dream, all a dream, all a dream, dream, dream)

Watch you from a long way
Never knew what I'd say
Didn't even know my name
Now you're here beside me
For all the world to see
I can never be the same

Now I know you love me
Never gonna get free
I smile when I hear your voice

When this was all a dream, all a dream, all a dream
I swam out in the sea, in the sea, in the sea
And said it would come true, come true, come true
Feel so happy when I'm around with you

When this was all a dream
(All a dream, all a dream, all a dream, dream, dream)

And when at last you've come
To show me how it's done
I'll greet you
With a heart so strong

And if I never leave you
It's because I love you
Guess I never had a choice

When this was all a dream, all a dream, all a dream
I swam out in the sea, in the sea, in the sea
And said it would come true, come true, come true
Feel so happy when I'm around with you

When this was all a dream
(All a dream, all a dream, all a dream, dream, dream)

Now I know you love me
Never gonna get free
I smile when I hear your voice
When this was all a dream

And if I never leave you
It's because I love you
Guess I never had a choice
When this was all a dream

When this was all a dream, all a dream, all a dream
I swam out in the sea, in the sea, in the sea
And said it would come true, come true, come true
Feel so happy when I'm around with you

When this was all a dream

'Regrets'

[Verse 1]
Now I'm a start this track off assuming
That everyone to this song is a human
And if you're a human then I know you've done some bad stuff
Some you've really hated cause it made your life so rough
You lose friends your love ends
The thoughts are driving you round the bend
Now I can say I know what might make your life stink
It's cause you my friend act before you think

[Chorus]
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
So don't go act fast, make sure you use your mind
And then your head won't be filled with thoughts like mine
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
So don't go act fast, make sure you use your mind
And then your head won't be filled with thoughts like mine

[Verse 2]
Now I'm gonna start off the list with regret that is supreme
And when I say that's what I mean is cause it's about chasing a dream
Now you're probably thinkin' what the hell's wrong with dreamin'
And I'm telling you nothin'
It's only if you're too late realisin'
What you really should be chasin'
See when I was younger all I dreamed about was sports suits and space suits
When I should've known that it wasn't me that dream suits
I should have had a page in my dream, where I'm on a stage or a silver screen

[Chorus]
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
Don't ever stop chasing dreams until you see them through
Just make sure that the dream is really for you
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
Don't ever stop chasing dreams until you see them through
Just make sure that the dream is really for you

[Verse 3]
The next one's about a friend when he was done with me
Or rather it was between me and his family
I was just a little kid maybe seven or eight
Back when my temper and responses weren't great
We were all having fun at this guy's birthday
When I was having fun in a supposed bad way
His mother pulled me to the side
And told me to calm down and take care
This action back then would make frown and my temper flare
Now if anybody knows me, especially personally
You'd know back then I was known to act violently
And this moment went by too fast as I lifted my leg high
And kicked in the hip, right above her left thigh
It didn't take a while to realise that was wrong
But it didn't matter I had taken too long
We weren't friends anymore as he was showing me the door
And so I got walking and ever since then me and him haven't been the best talking

[Chorus]
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
Friends are precious so don't you ever let em go
And if you gotta temper try not to let it show
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
Friends are precious so don't you ever let em go
And if you gotta temper try not to let it show

[Verse 4]
Now the last one I'm a leave you with is the biggest
And I find it that way cause it's effected me the longest
See you may not know this but I used to be quite fit
And I know a lot of you won't believe a word of it
But every day I used to do ten laps runnin' round the neighbourhood
But now I think running round to the shop is good
I know one thing on which to place the blame
That's the addiction I developed to my video games
I was going out everyday doing sports, dancing and everything
Then I was only concerned about the console goin' 'ping ping'

[Chorus]
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
I know games can be good to help with any stress you go through
But too much of anything can be very bad for you
Now this song is all about regrets
Gonna tell you some of my little secrets
I know games can be good to help with any stress you go through
But too much of anything can be very bad for you

[Outro]
Before I let you go, one final piece of advice
Don't let what happened in your past screw up your whole life
You can't change the past don't you know it's long gone
So stand up, brush it off and just move on
So go forth in your life, live with no regrets
But I'm not saying you should be reckless
Don't think about what's tomorrow or what came and went
Cause your greatest gift is right now, that's why we call it the p

Crushed

I was crushed by the weight of your words
Dispelled any worth that was left
She cycled a bike along a green with one daffodil in her ear
Parked her bike opposite a bridge
She walked along slowly humming his song
The sand rising and covering her face


In our house we sat opposite turf burning
Stroking your hair as if it was yesterday
You were humming his song when absent minded
I pulled and you pulled away
A bird withdrew from preying eyes
I caught a glimpse of his eyes
You moaned and turned away
I barely lifted my head in sixteen days


At a mirror and a sad reflection
Seeing myself in such pain
Imaginary blood runs out from cold body
Your reflection always in the corner
I am slave and when you call I consider
But always as I walk out the door into your cold arms once more

His eyes they flickered like mine could never be
You lay naked without soul in my arms as they grew heavy
I bought you the world and you set it alight
A cold burning flame and smoke that suffocates
I lie awake broken like a light bulb in the dead of night

You don’t want too see me once more
He is home and you his faithful slave
He holds you in his cold arms
Deceit and lies and you swallow him whole
You lie awake broken like a light bulb in the dead of night.

Words

Don’t beat them up those words in your head
Enlist them in subscription and let them free to roam
Sitting in a vault that is a library till blindness do you apart
They come alive those people from figments of someone else’s mind


She stopped you in your tracks as you stood hovering over an edge
Pushed you in a direction you always had declined
She wore a suit and tie with gold trimmed silhouette shoes
Bounced around inside and made you come alive
Spoke about Marx and hummed about Joyce
Sticking a key inside you that unlocked a kind of joy


You’re a cloud she would say floating all around
She looked up and there you were always by her side
She liked intensity in all that she did
When she was up upon a ledge taking life by the hair
She would scream and tears of laughter running down her face

And now your words are falling, deep inside a sound
She left but not on purpose but because she had to
In the morning when birds interrupt your dreams
You awake and a picture placed playfully by your bed
Closing eyes and you see her flying around your eyes
She never left you and is always by your side

Lost love has never felt so good
Her dress the favourite one so vivid before your eyes
She drove your car and her scent still very much alive
Lost love you will say to students in front of where you guise
Is like a fleeting smack right between your eyes
In shock and full of stars and nothing like it makes you feel this alive


Now it’s a strange time to be, now here amongst strangers
They don’t you and you don’t know them
But somewhere in between she lives, she cries, she exists.

'Don't Give Me That Tone'

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

I’ve wasted too much time
On mindless and berating trash
That numbs the brain and sets me up
For failure’s painful crash
But now I'm pushing back this very day
I'm pushing forward and hear me say

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

[Beat break]

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

No more times are wasting
I got tired of chasing you
All around every day of the month
Come back to me when you're done
Acting like that
Now I'm pushing back this very day, day
I'm pushing forward and hear me say

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

[Beat break]

Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
Or I will not do what I'm told
Don't give me that tone
Don't give me that tone
I don't wanna hear you moan all day long

Cold

The gates had purple flowers pressed against its cold iron
I said meet me there at ten so you arrived at midday
Hunger and pain, pain and hunger
At least it feels real, at least it feels like something
You brought me to what lay
Knelt down and I bowed my head
You laughed that laugh of a thousand cries
Joseph you said where are you now?


Along castle avenue road, along stone walls with moss so strong
Your nails are dark with dirt and what’s more you don’t feel ashamed
You had a backpack with all your possessions’ packed within a small book
Written words, written words, driving you crazy, making you cling to darkness
We had a name for each others soul, lunar and darkness took a stroll

Stop and lie down on damp grass and feel earth and absorb its smell
Let the rain wash like another new rebirth
When I die I want regret. What I regret I want to die
An arrow struck me between the eyes but that just made me stronger


A stone left unturned you said is like the most beautiful painting that eventually hangs
People say: How? Such a shame, trample over, trample over, they trample over
The priest he will never understand loss and here they sing, here they sing
Its dead this yard and its in bloom, they will never understand that’s just the thing.

Walking towards happiness

Since we’re born its all about that road
No detours its all ahead
But madness and genetic fault
They hold you back, they hold you hostage
Smashing mirrors so no more reflection
No more others and no more rejection


Walking towards the sun
Its where happiness resides
Its burning me up inside
Killing me slowly outside



Since we was young its all found in books
Page after page, self inflicted guilt
I wont, I didn’t or I couldn’t see
Its lost, memories fade and dreams laid to rest
And happiness is ugliness never truly defined
one cold Decembers day I prayed I found a bird
It flew away and fell away and now the road is long



Walking towards the sun
Its where happiness resides
Its burning me up inside
Killing me slowly outside


Victoria upon a throne inherited and never sought
A broken smile and a promise in flames
We all burn looking for the thing we love
Only in old age and close to death do we see
What passed us by. Don’t say goodbye
Its not tomorrow but now

That candle on our ledge and you left the window ajar
A wind or spirit or both gives us the kiss of bereft
How I held you close till you vanished before my eyes
It wasn’t always ugly just as it always wasn’t happy

Walking towards the sun
Its where happiness resides
Its burning me up inside
Killing me slowly outside

'Living Star'

Too many heartaches
Too many bad breaks
Too many tears
Too many fears to live it now
And it ends

Can't seem to fake it
Can't keep achin' it
Can't seem to see
I need to be set free
But I'm laying on my knees

And I'm goin' nowhere
I'm goin' nowhere now
Now

There I go out far
And I become a living star
I had a notion
I would be over the ocean
Living my dreams out that door
And we'll rise high
Rise high

But I'm gone tomorrow
Goodbye to sorrow
I'm gone long way
I'm going away
And it ends

You told me that you need a man
Always strong and never weak
A man with the power
To give you what you seek
I told you I was the one
I'd never let you fall
I showed you what a man can do

There I go out far
And I become a living star
I had a notion
I would be over the ocean
Living my dreams out that door

And I become a living star
Out to the sea it flows so strong
Like it flowed for ages long
But the emotion that appears
Shows us that we can all be a living star

A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star
You can say that again
A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star
You can say that again
A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star
You can say that again
A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star

There I go out far
And I become a living star
I had a notion
I would be over the ocean
Living my dreams out that door
And I become a living star

Out to the sea it flows so strong
Like it flowed for ages long
But the emotion that appears
Shows us that we can all be a living star

Out to the sea it flows so strong
Like it flowed for ages long
But the emotion that appears
Shows us that we can all be a living star

'Life I Want to Live'

You've got a hold of my heart
Now we're not apart
I've made a new start
Your love has set me free
I've only just learnt to see
How you looked after me

I'm with you hand in hand
Across the desolate land
I'll cross the burning sand
To show

You give me the life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give
Oh close by me, best by far
You are to me, my morning star

You give me the life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give

Only you can bring a brighter day
Only you drive my tears away
Only you laughing by the fire
Only you can take loving higher

I'm with you hand in hand
Across the desolate land
I'll cross the burning sand
To show

You give me the life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give
Oh close by me, best by far
You are to me, my morning star

You give me the life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give

You give me the life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give
Oh close by me, best by far
You are to me, my morning star

You give me the life I want to live

Eviscerated, abandoned be your own soul. All things spent observes some stupid wretched hole. Throw out the excess self-pity, clear out the excess...You were the Sun, that made me wanna shrink; thought me how to be, how to live authoritarianistically - free.

'Predicted Failure'

It was one Tuesday
I found out the truth
You were going the wrong way
Now you look like a fool

Can't believe you thought that I was a traitor
Go on dude talk ****, I will see you later
I was your true friend but now I'm a hater
Don't ever ask me to do you any favours

I just want you to know
I really still care
But the way you treated me
Just wasn't very fair

It was a predicted failure
I thought we were doing something so major
But now it turns out, it was a predicted failure
I guess that's your nature
Predicted failure

It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure

Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure
Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure

I had thought
That you were the one
But instead all you gave
Me was a shot from a gun

I was your true friend but now I'm a hater
Don't ever ask me to do you any favours

I just want you to know
I really still care
But the way you treated me
Just wasn't very fair

It was a predicted failure
I thought we were doing something so major
But now it turns out, it was a predicted failure
I guess that's your nature
Predicted failure

It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure

Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure
Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure

So you go and think you can my break my heart
But all you are doing is ripping your life apart
Farewell to you and all your future
Just know that I won't be there with ya

Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure

It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure

Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure
Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure

Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure
Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure

A predicted failure
A predicted failure
A predicted failure

'Velvet Time'

Every day I think of coming home to you
And every time I do, all I want is you
Can't dream of a night without you
Your skin is soft, it's hard to believe
And when you have me up your sleeve
I know that it's velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

Before you arrived, nights were full of pain
Nobody came to me 'cause my life was so plain
Oh it's that time again

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

Every day I think of coming home to you
And every time I do, all I want is you
And now it's velvet time
And now it's velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time

'Regrets We Share'

Dark long nights
The nightmare goes on
Aggressive unnecessary fights

Life what have you become
The regrets we share
Were what made us one
Now he just stares at me

No one knows the pain we feel
When friendship ceases to be real
When the pain outweighs the fun
When it's all just a humourless pun

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

Life what have you become
The regrets we share
Were what made us one
Now he just stares at me

I won't let go to what we have left
When I met you, I thought I was blessed

You felt like the last piece to my puzzle
But all you truly were was more trouble

Life what have you become
The regrets we share
Were what made us one
Now he just stares at me

You drew a line I rubbed it out
Eliminating fear and doubt
You took a step I took one too
Knowing what we have to do

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

Life what have you become
The regrets we share
Were what made us one
Now he just stares at me

The regrets we share
Were what made us one
