This week the boys take a look at a very heavy song

Support Alex on Patreon:

Lyrics:

VERSE

The words are ringing in my ear

Her shell remains but her soul aint here

She’s dead

You don’t hear it every day

Her spirit’s up and gone away

She’s dead

CHORUS

And the stillness

Is a scene of thrashing violence

And I’m deafened

I’m deafened by the silence

VERSE

I notate this while I still can

I’m going to have to be a man

Now that she’s dead

Peripheral shutdown has taken hold

I’m not the same since I’ve been told

She’s dead (she’s dead)

CHORUS

And the stillness

Is a scene of thrashing violence

And I’m deafened

I’m deafened by the silence

S2 Ep16: 'New Heights' Ft. Harry White

Thu, 05 Sep 2019 20:56:00 GMT

Join us this week as our boys talk to Harry White from one of Brisbane's biggest local pop punk bands.

[Verse 1]

I’ll bring you home again

Just say the words and let this jealousy and hatred fall apart

Give me a chance again to prove I’m different

I wish we’d been this way right from the start

[Pre-Chorus]

Did you know you were a waste of time?

A broken act of thoughtless lies

And I know that it’s not okay

But now

[Chorus]

We’ll be just fine, leave it all behind

To show you how it’s really supposed to be

It’s all green lights, we’re at new heights

Just close your eyes and help take on the world

With me

[Verse 2]

We won’t go back again to where we began

We’re better than that already come so far

I see a perfect sunset on the close horizon

Just pack your bags, we’ll leave this town and just aim for the stars

[Pre-Chorus]

Did you know you were a waste of time?

A broken act of thoughtless lies

And I know that it’s not okay

But now

[Chorus]

We’ll be just fine, leave it all behind

To show you how it’s really supposed to be

It’s all green lights, we’re at new heights

Just close your eyes and help take on the world

[Bridge]

They say there’s no happy endings but we don’t ever have to end this

Just live for now and wash away the tide

We’ll aim as high as we can go and when we’re ready you will know

We won’t back down

[Chorus]

We’ll be just fine, leave it all behind

To show you how it’s really supposed to be

It’s all green lights, we’re at new heights

Just close your eyes and help take on the world

We’ll be just fine, leave it all behind

To show you how it’s really supposed to be

It’s all green lights, we’re at new heights

Just close your eyes and help take on the world

S2 Ep15: 'If You Were Fat"

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 21:16:00 GMT

This week we tackle a particularly challenging song with the help of fellow creative, Jay Bloodsworth.

If You Were Fat Lyrics

Verse

I’m not the brightest star in the sky

But you are

You could have had your pick of all the other guys

But you didn’t go that far

And I’ll never know why

Cos quite frankly I

CHORUS

Am an apathetic

Quite pathetic

You needing

Over-touching shmoe

Who needs

A little to much attention

I love you

Nothing can change that.

Not even if you were fat (you were fat x3)

Not even fatter than me (fatter than me x3)

Ooo can you feel it?

Oh, oh a little to the left now

-Solo-

Verse

And I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed

That’d be you

You could have chosen with your heart and not your head

So that’s what you chose to do

Which has left me slightly confused

Cos baby you

CHORUS

Are a smooth talking

Sexy walking

Woman with the power to get me gawking

Girl, the fact that you aint left me

makes me love you more every day

And I’ll keep it up until the end of time

Trust me girl, if you were fat I wouldn’t leave you

But in a personal preference kind of way

I’m glad you’re not

S2 Ep14: 'Unstable' Ft. Jamie-Lee Griffiths

Thu, 08 Aug 2019 20:56:00 GMT

This week the boys chat with local talent Jamie-Lee Griffiths of Jumbo Dragon!

EPISODE NOTES:

Running out of energy

No batteries

Will I survive

If I’ve got no fight

Never seems to work at all

Running out of time

Don’t matter if I try

Will I survive

If I’ve got no time

Never seems to work at all

If I’m six feet under

Drowning in my thoughts

Will I survive

Do you know why

I can’t sleep at night

If my heart is free

But my brain’s locked up

Will I survive

Do you know why

I can’t sleep at night

(Chorus)

Got a blood running through my veins oh

Telling me to give up on the game oh

Telling me not to trust myself

Give up on myself woah

I’m unstable

Oh and a little too able

To give up on everything

So don’t put no weight on me

No weight on me yeah

No weight on me oh

Oh no weight on me oh

Running out of steam

Are you feeling me

Will I survive

If I’ve got no fight

Never seems to work at all

If I’m empty inside

And I can’t see a light

Will I survive

If I’ve got no light

Never seems to work at all

If I’m six feet under

Drowning in my thoughts

Will I survive

Do you know why

I can’t sleep at night

If my heart is free

But my brain’s locked up

Will I survive

Do you know why

I can’t sleep at night

(Chorus x 2)

S2 Ep11 'White Knight Falling'

Thu, 27 Jun 2019 21:58:00 GMT

This week Alex runs with the likes of Dylan! Surely Alex's first protest song is a hit right? Right?

Verse

There’s something wrong in the world today

Something worth singing monotonously about

Our environmental white knight Peter garret

And the fact that he’s completely sold out

It used to be that you couldn’t sleep

While our beds were burning at night

But you must have new flame retardant pyjamas

Cos you seem to be doing alright

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard

Do you remember the time when you sung about asbestos?

And do you remember the time when you sung about mining?

But that was before you sold your soul to satan

Verse 2

There was a time when it didn’t cross your mine

That selling the great barrier reef was fine

But I guess things have changed because

You approved a uranium mine

You used to know what your beliefs were

But you strayed from the path

All you’ve got now is a pocket of cash

And a bleeding heart

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard

Do you remember the time when you promised not to be a politician?

It never was a written law

But the things that you said lead us to assume you wouldn’t be one

We shouldn’t have assumed

-solo-

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard

LYRICS

Verse 1

'Yes you can take my plate’

‘Tell me how was your day?’

‘Douse me in water cos baby you’re hot’

These are all things that I wanna say

The food here is really good

And it’s cool that you serve it too

Ride the ski lift with me to the mountains peak

Cos there’s something that I need to do

Prechorus

Man your smile send shivers down my spine

It’s been six days and you’re toeing that line

Chorus

That twenty-something vixen

has got me skiing blind

Cos as I’m racing down the slope

she’s racing through my mind

She’s cleaning glasses while we’re falling on our asses

This is one skit trip I’ll never forget

Cos she’s the hottest waitress I’ve ever met!

I’ve ever met.

Guitar solo

Ah ah yeah

Bridge

Her eyes they penetrate me

Her skinny jeans really do it for me

And her hair is black and silky

And she’s got a piercing

Yeah

Chorus

That twenty-something vixen

has got me skiing blind

Cos as I’m racing down the slope

she’s racing through my mind

She’s cleaning glasses while we’re falling on our asses

This is one skit trip I’ll never forget

Cos she’s the hottest waitress I’ve ever met!

I’ve ever met.

With a face like that

There’s no way you’re not taken

But that’s cool

Cos you make kick-ass bacon

(Left) Coffee, toast and eggs and steak burgers. Pies and chips. Chicken wedges fish and chips and Spag Bol. Spam and dips

(Right) Coffee, toast and eggs and steak. Burgers soup and pies and ???

The food you make is bitchin’

Now get back in the kitchen

S2 Ep8: 'You Don't Wanna Know' ft. Roo

Thu, 16 May 2019 21:41:00 GMT

Support Roo here:

LYRICS

I wanted to give you the world

Everything good for free

I cry myself to sleep at night

I wake up on the floor

I let you walk away every night

After we say goodbye

Even though I’m breathing

Doesn’t mean, oh no

There’s only air inside

I would never hurt you

But now you’ll never know

I know I’m not pretty outside or inside

But I still hurt when you say goodbye

That’s not good enough for you

You need something false I hate

I won’t change myself for you

S2 Ep7: 'Troubled Waters'

Thu, 02 May 2019 21:36:00 GMT

The slowest song ever madeeeeeee! Autotune that would put T-Pain to shame!

Troubled Waters Lyrics

Verse 1

Keep it down

Keep them all down

Cos when the wind is rushing through my hair

The sound drowns you out

Look around and see

This aint how it’s meant to be

You’ve shattered my assumptions

Of life and family

Prechorus

And I don’t know where I’m going

Trying to forget where I’ve been

The mask has finished falling

And now I’ll have to confess what I’ve seen

Chorus

Troubled waters

Are trying to swallow me

But I’ll fight tooth and nail

To keep my sanity

Things just aren’t the same

Everybody’s torn

Abnormal appears to be the norm

Verse 2

Stay out there

Stay away from me

I’m safe in here behind my eyes

From your dishonesty

Things were fine

And then

It all went to hell again

There is no silver lining

It’s the reason that I pretend

Prechorus

And I don’t know what I’m doing

Trying to forget what I’ve done

The trauma’s broken through and

The only option I have is to run

Chorus

Troubled waters

Are trying to swallow me

But I’ll fight tooth and nail

To keep my sanity

Things just aren’t the same

Everybody’s torn

Abnormal appears to be the norm

-Solo-

Chorus

Troubled waters

Couldn’t swallow me

I fought tooth and nail

Now I know victory

Things still aren’t the same

But they’re getting warm

Abnormal appears to be the norm

Cone on out

Speak to me

Fri, 19 Apr 2019 07:42:39 GMT

This week we hear from lifelong James Kehoe friend Joe Rallos! Go support JJmusicaus cos he's lovely!

Beach in Winter Lyrics

Surfboard’s ready

The sun’s woken up

Fuel injection

Power engine

Hanging five

Alone I ride

The beach in winter’s too cold

Going steady

Ever ready

Wave the line

Riding fine

Frosty weather

Never better

The beach in winter’s all right

Aloha to this endless summer

The bug that never seems to die

Or fly away, it’s here to stay

Doing the wipe out all night long

Raining over

Never bolder

Hanging five

Doing fine

Frosty weather

Never better

Raining over

Never bolder

Hanging five

Doing fine

Frosty weather

Never better

S2 Ep5: 'Perfect Hands'

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 20:57:00 GMT

The boys butt heads on this song! Check out another episode live from the room where it happened!

Perfect Hands Lyrics

If my world ended today

Would you go back to his?

Cos there you always seemed so happy

A feeling you don’t seem to get from this

And I know that I’m not perfect

But we had that talk and left it in the past

But now it’s begun to grind all around inside my mind

Cos the talk was bout the reasons that we can’t

And honey, you’re everything I need

It took too long for both of us to see

I would never leave your side

At least that is the plan

But the question still remains

‘Would you return to his perfect hands?’

I should’ve known that’s how it goes

Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose

I did it wrong now everyone knows

Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose

I should’ve known that’s how it goes

Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose

I did it wrong now everyone knows

Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose

-Solo-

It’s not my fault, I’m not being cynical

You changed the game when you made it something clinical

I’m not an expert but that’s what you get

When you make a choice that you happen to regret

Cos my world ended today and you didn’t go back to his

And it might not be ok but I’m ok with this

Because….

S2 Ep4: 'Universal Models' with Emma Dean

Thu, 21 Mar 2019 23:14:00 GMT

This week we are sans James but we are lucky to speak to the incomparable Emma Dean!

Universal Models Lyrics:

I worked with this model man

On my first day I wanted to leave

Dress this way, act that way, like ‘a bimbo’

That’s how you’re meant to be

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

Don’t look there, look at my eyes

They’re blinded by how ‘cool’ it is in here

Cool blue halter neck and white see-through pants

is what I fear

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

(Oh I, I wanna get out)

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

(Oh I, I wanna get out)

CHORUS

Oh I, I wanna get out

And I don’t know how and I don’t know where

‘Universal Models’ oh now what is that about?

“Can I help you?”

Oh I, I wanna get out

And I don’t know how and I don’t know where

‘Universal Models’ oh now what is that about?

“Can I help you out?”

So by my third day my eyes were so glazy

Closed over by some shallow man

“Lose weight, think quick,

and get a tan”

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

(Oh I, I wanna get out)

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

(Oh I, I wanna get out)

CHORUS

Oh I hate you all

I wanna get my slow revenge

Every little inch of you

Must be broken, broken up so badly

Gotta gotta get out gotta gotta get gotta gotta get out etc

“Universal Models, can I help you?”

S2 Ep3: 'This Good-For-Nothing Town'

Thu, 07 Mar 2019 21:10:00 GMT

This week the boys dip a toe into the world of cringey high school rap!

This Good-For-Nothing Town Lyrics

Verse 1

Have you ever heard of chronic depression? I think I’ll use this session

to admit a little confession, to inform of you my

gradual progression, that is a simple regression

Deep into the open arms of unnatural obsession

But I ask you to excuse my discretion in this jam session

Well, rap session, but this level of expression

And sharing my feelings can bestow upon my listeners

An unexplained sense of aggression

To me and mine, so if it’s fine

I’ll take my time busting this rhyme

Sorry about that corny line

But this is my first time

Chorus

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

With the most exciting place in it being

A karaoke place with the songs in Korean

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

Verse 2

And it’s not that I’m a bad guy

I always used to think I

Was everybody’s white knight

Turns out I’m just a wise guy

Self-Deprecating small fry

I’m still dominated by

These visions form my past

that everyone has left behind

If I could get an MRI

If you could see in my mind’s eye

The monster that, within me hides

God damn, you’d call the FBI

Till then I guess I’ll have to try to

Cut the damn water supply

Say my prayers, try to get by

Until some decent help arrives

Chorus

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

With the most exciting place in it being

A karaoke place with the songs in Korean

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Well I guess that’s all you need to know

I hope that you enjoyed the show

But take this in before you go

Got a problem? Let it go

The past can get you, I would know

It takes my pain, makes it grow

Even decides where I go

Hell I’m like it’s puppet show

And this all cliche, I know

It’s bitchy, whiney, even so

This tortoure Is my status quo

But I’ve only got months to go!

And no amount of Tae Kwon Do

Crappy paintings by Van Gogh

Trips out to the picture show!

Can change what I intensely know

Life will pick up when I go

Or I don’t know myself head to toe

One more thing before I go

This is Alex blood type O

Chorus

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

With the most exciting place in it being

A karaoke place with the songs in Korean

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

Outro

I’m sick of feeling down

S2 Ep 2: 'Ignore Me' ft. Aiden Bradley

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 19:58:00 GMT

Who's that friendly face?! This week the boys talk with Aiden Bradley and see what he's been up to in the year since we last heard from him!

'Ignore Me' Lyrics:

My inbox is empty, and I'm out of friends

Woke up hurting again this morning, but it's all in my head

Empty shows and broken bones, these are the dreams we fought for

No money in my hands, no fuel in my tank

No one up on the dance floor

Turn your back and count to eight

and hope I go away

Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one

Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done

My nerves are on fire and my brain is fucked

But that's the way it goes

Try so hard to grab your attention

but it all goes up in smoke

I've got as much hype as I'm allowed

If it was gonna happen, it would've happened by now

Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one

Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done

We can't live on royalty cheques

but we're all right

Our rent is always late

but we'll be fine

Can't seem to catch a break

but we'll get by

Can't afford another mistake

so please just try

Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one

Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done

S2 Ep 1: 'Flowers in a Letter'

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 19:33:00 GMT

The boys are back in the saddle with another terrible song! This time accompanied by our righteous podcast father, Zane!

Flowers in a Letter Lyrics:

Intro

-Laughter-

Verse 1

Society dictates that we are weird

But quite frankly I love it

A normal person would ease it in

But jigger me, you shove it

Pre chorus

I love the way that we work in the sense we kind of don’t

I love the way that you put things in places they just won’t

CHORUS

Cos I’m your servant, you’re my master

You got the picture faster

Than the last person who had me on the chain

Misery makes me happy

And you’re paying attention I see

Cos no-one out there’s better at causing me pain

But don’t refrain

Cos I love it

Pop shove it

Verse 2

What I love about you is your mind

Imagination beyond belief

You come up with such creative ways

To cause me such grief

Can I just say the best way for a

guy to get his kicks

Throw away your inhibitions

Get a five foot dominatrix

Pre chorus

As you were yanking on my chain, I felt something new

To my surprise I’d found that I’d fallen in love with you

I told you that I love you but you shut that down quick

That night I felt the sore end of a flaming candle stick!

CHORUS

Cos I’m your servant, you’re my master

Crack the whip and I’ll go faster

I got rubber corsets on the brain

I sent you flowers in a letter

You screamed ‘Goddamn you better

not try that again!’

And I won’t try that again

Bridge

You’re in control and you know it

I love you but I can’t show it

In this day and age, it’d be too weird

The cause of my depression

Is that you are under the impression

That a mistress has got to be feared

(But never the less!)

CHORUS

Cos I’m your slave and you’re my mistress

And I’m in distress

I am scared that this is how it’s gonna go

This song is not a plea

It’s just so you’re on the same page as me

And one day you might love me back (ooo)

One day you might love me back (ooo)

One day you might love me back you never know

You never know

-Laughing-

Shooting star lyrics

Finding next piece ain’t as easy as it seems where do we go from here?

So many pieces left, only one space to fit them in, tear it all apart and start again

My world is spinning around so fast going to throw me off

Into the setting sun

When you finally shown I’ll be able to let go

Fall off this world into your arms

And the pieces of the puzzle will fit back together again, you and me and a shooting star

All the other times the only blood spilt was mine now somethings gotta give

It’s time to make that change time to start again, time to escape

And I ask myself am I having enough fun or is my youth being wasted by my young

When you finally shown I’ll be able to let go

Fall off this world into your arms

And the pieces of the puzzle will fit back together again, you and me and a shooting star

EP 20: 'The Gale'

Thu, 08 Nov 2018 20:13:00 GMT

We made it! This is the final song on the album (and Alex's mum's favourite song) but what do YOU think? Don't forget to vote for which song you want to be remade!

The Gale Lyrics:

VERSE 1

Father please forgive me

For I must have sinned

Please explain

You promised you would shield us

From your icy wind

Have my prayers been in vein?

Are you even there?

CHORUS

Cos the rain came down

Pelted from the sky

And the gale shook my bones

And when my father’s on the roof

And my mom is crying in the next room

And she’s crying

She’s crying

VERSE 2

I’ve called myself an angel

So strip me of my wings

But honestly what could I have done?

To warrant such abandonment

Even after everything

I hope, I hope I’m the only one

Sacred arms have closed

And heaven’s shut it’s door

Cast me down, cast me down

The world continues turning

Jack don’t care anymore

Just leave me lying here

I know you will

CHORUS

Cos the rain came down

And lightning split the sky

And the gale shook my bones

And when my father’s on the roof

And my mom is crying in the next room

And she’s crying

She’s crying

-Solo-

BRIDGE

I’m gonna spend my life doing it right

So I can greet you personally

That’s a guarantee, you’d better wait for me!

La la la la la etc

VERSE 3

Father please forgive me

For I must have sinned

Tell me true

What could I have done to make you turn from me?

Could it be I turned from you?

CHORUS

Cos the rain came down

Yeah and thunder shook the ground

And there I was all alone

And when my father’s on the roof

And my mom is crying in the next room

And she’s crying

She’s crying

Ep 19: 'Intoxication'

Thu, 01 Nov 2018 18:40:00 GMT

After months of garbage songs, out of nowhere, young Alex hits the steep learning curve and spits out an adequate song! A loving pastiche of AC/DC

Intoxication Lyrics:

VERSE

It’s in my veins, it’s in my stream

It’s in my system and it’s working like a dream

Could chase away my conflicts quite easily

But everyday I make sure to take ‘em with me

CHORUS

Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)

Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)

My momma always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well

But mine burns within me like the fires of hell

Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)

Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)

My papa always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well

But mine burns within me like the fires of hell

Ooo intoxication

VERSE

Can lift me up but mostly keeps me down

At distribution I’m the best in town

It’s an addiction but its keeps me out of troubler

Could nurse one for an hour ooo make mine a double

Cos when I get that feeling I can be mean or nice

But just to get there, name your price

Cos when I’m in the zone consequences slip away

It’s just me and my mind and what I wanna say

BRIDGE

Everything just slips away

And if I could have my way

I’d be like this everyday

CHORUS

Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)

Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)

My momma always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well

But mine burns within me like the fires of hell

Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)

Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)

My papa always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well

But mine burns within me like the fires of hell

The fire’s the reason that I’m doing so well

Is it such a crime to prefer to be under?

Now if you don’t mind, I’ll solo while you wonder

(Hit me now! Yeah!)

Intoxication

Ep 17: 'Like Bastard Like Son'

Thu, 04 Oct 2018 19:37:00 GMT

A gut-wrenchingly cringey show this week. Our boys must endure a truly ridiculous song featuring lazy metaphors, spoken word sections and the most Nice Guy shit you've ever heard!

Like Bastard Like Son Lyrics

VERSE

Two figures sit alone

At a table playing chess

In the space far outside the world

One of the men

Has a burn across his chest

And thus our tale unfurls

The man in white

Shook his head

‘Worst game I’ve ever seen’

As the man in black

In one fell swoop

Took the white man’s queen

‘I’ll get her back’

Said the white man

As he banged his fist on the table

‘Of course you can’

said the black man

‘That is, if you’re able

For two times now I’ve taken your queen’

He leant back in his chair

‘Why don’t you just forget her?’

At this the white man stood up and

Knocked the chess board off it’s stand

He gazed in awe at his right hand

Where a burn mark was growing

The man in black begun to laugh

‘My virus has begun to graft

To the external tools of your craft

Your weakness my son is showing’

‘What have you done to me?’

Through gritted teeth

The white man cried in pain

‘I’ve done to you what’s done to me

My son, you cry in vain’

The white man fell to the floor

Hand to his throbbing breast

You cannot begin to comprehend

The pain now in his chest

‘You see, I’ve got this virus’

The man in black began

‘And before it inevitably kills me,

I thought I’d go out with a bang.

It’s a mix of bitterness,

Jealousy, selfishness and hate.

Of cynicism, malice

And that vengeful twist of fate.

Know that your heart and my disease

Have easily become one

I’m glad that I’m the one to say…

You’re going to hell my son

No matter how you fear

You’re going to hell my son

Your time is nearly here’

’Stop that now!’

‘You are condemned’

‘I’m not like you!’

‘To hell my friend

You’re going to hell my son’

‘Enough! I am my own man!

And I am not your son!’

‘Haha Oh really?

Erin, Diana, Emma, Joana

Your opinions, your minions

Your cold hearted deeds!

YOU’RE FURTHER ALONG THAN ME!

Further along than me!

You’re going to hell my son

Oh you can try, but when you die

You’re going to hell my son’

The man in white

Closed his eyes

He felt his world slipping away

He only held on long enough

To hear the black man say

‘You’re going to hell my son

No matter how you wish

You’re going to hell my son

Soon you will be finished’

And then the world was black

Until the voices of everyone the white man loved reached him

He body was bathed in a white hot light that pierced the darkness

And slowly he was pulled back from the brink of oblivion

When the man in white came to, the man in black was gone

Either chased away or destroyed by the light

He walked over to the chessboard

And saw that the man in back had taken all of his pieces, leaving only white

‘Hmm’

As the white man turned to leave,

he heard the sound of a thick liquid being disturbed

He lifted his shoe to his face

His sole wa-BLACK!!!

VERTIGO Lyrics

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

[Verse 1]

Let's start again, we know where this is going 'cause it happens every time

(happens every time)

You'll shout, I'll leave and somehow you'll believe it will never be goodbye

(never be goodbye)

[Pre-Chorus]

I just feel lovesick, sick of this waking up again, again and again

[Chorus]

You got me spinning around and around

And when I pick myself up I fall down

It's like there's something between us and I don't know why

I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh

You give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

[Verse 2]

What's that? Yeah right, remember every fight when you compared me to your ex

(compared me to your ex)

We kiss, make up

But then you cover up your phone, for every single text

(every single text)

[Pre-Chorus]

I just feel lovesick, sick of this getting back together again, again and again

[Chorus]

You got me spinning around and around

And when I pick myself up I fall down

It's like there's something between us and I don't know why

I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh

You give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

[Bridge]

You got me spinning around and around

And when I pick myself up I fall down

It's like I'm searching for something I thought that I found

You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

[Chorus]

You got me spinning around and around

And when I pick myself up I fall down

It's like there's something between us and I don't know why

I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh

You give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

Ep 15: Little Box of Feelings

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 20:27:00 GMT

This week the boys listen to 'Little Box of Feelings' an absolute dumpster fire! Ans a spectacular example of poor songwriting structure. As well as deep chats!

Little Box of Feelings Lyrics

VERSE 1

Once in every lifetime

You stumble across

Something absolutely wonderful

And you hold it close

First one that you gave me was

Pure happiness

Followed swiftly by a sense of pride

And a sense of purpose

CHORUS

I should call you my little box of feelings

VERSE 2

Next one you saw fit to

Give me was love

And I gotta say I swear it came

From god above

You made me complete,

you made me whole

You helped me to enjoy my youth

Before I got too old

PRE-CHORUS?

For an emotion to be so strong

I’ve been waiting for so long

CHORUS

I should call you my little box of feelings

VERSE 3

Next in the box was depression

Feelings that called for immediate repression

Just to show I’m yours with which to play

You saw my joy and you took it away

CHORUS

I should call you my little box of feelings

-Solo-

VERSE 4

Emotions,

it’s all just feelings

When I’m around you my senses are reeling

And the cycle repeats I’m back on joy again

Call me niece but I can’t wait for love again

CHORUS

I should call you my little box of feelings

I should call you my…

This week the boys chat to Dylan from KB Theory about all things music!

Check out KB Theory on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kbtheoryband

If I could See Myself Lyrics

Verse one

I wish I knew what I was doing

but I've got no idea

I could lie and tell you I'm doing fine

but I'm walking in a straight line

and I always thought that I

could make it on my own

and I

should have known

Chorus

if I could see my self x2

in one year

if I could see myself x2

in ten years

Verse 2

I always thought that life would go my way

that I wouldn't have to stray too far from the road

have it handed to me on a silver platter

I didn't think my carelessness would matter

and I always thought that I

could make it on my own

and I

should have known

Chorus

if I could see my self x2

in one year

if I could see myself x2

in ten years

Ep 13: 'Paramedic Zero'

Thu, 09 Aug 2018 16:19:00 GMT

Things get a bit heated when James reveals how much he hates this week's song. Strong feelings ahead.

PARAMEDIC ZERO LYRICS

VERSE 1

My son makes me proud every day

Can’t walk the streets without hearing his name.

See he’s a sportsman, I say sportsman, I mean hero

Not like your son who’s just a paramedic zero

Everybody knows what it is my son does

And why shouldn’t they? It’s something you can’t forget

Your son may resuscitate but what my boy does is just great

He puts a leather ball into a net

CHORUS

Why are we wasting our money on heroes

When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?

We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it

Who really deserves the fame?

VERSE 2

I wish my son could play as well your son can

He’s got no power in his feet, his skill is in his hands.

While your son was winning the game last night

My boy was trying to save some poor woman’s life.

(She went into) cardiac arrest

He did his very best

But this was just one he couldn’t save.

Her husband was distraught

He said ‘I really thought

She was gonna make it. And on top of that,

I’ve missed the big game’

CHORUS

(Tell me) Why are we wasting our money on heroes

When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?

We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it

Who really deserves the fame?

BRIDGE

My son’s a major disappointment to me

When I look at your son and see what he could be

Using all the muscles except the important one

Making a mint on a game that little children play for fun

My son spent ten years of his life at medical school

Your son was in the right place at the right time now who looks the fool?

My son has seen awful things and risks his life for a waiter’s pay

Your son kicks a plastic ball round his mansion all of the day

CHORUS

(So just tell me) Why are we wasting our money on heroes

When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?

We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it

Who really deserves the fame?

Thu, 26 Jul 2018 16:52:00 GMT

This week the boys chats to the guys from Dazey! Our first full band interview (even though we were missing some of the band)

Check out Dazey on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DAZEYaus/

'RISKY' LYRICS

Lost in space and breathing slow

Risky woman won’t you leave me alone

Adventure forever my oh my

How can I help when I’m going blind

Talking to a voice I can’t see

And keeping my head well under siege

Running to the hills and fall on my knees

And you can take it from me

Cut loose unwind

Get lost in your scene

Why does it happen to me

Is that what happens when I take the lead

Lost in space and breathing slow

Risky woman won’t you leave me alone

Adventure forever my oh my

How can I help when I’m going blind

Walking the grounds storming empty spaces

Getting loud of the places

Shhh

Snap snap with me baby

Crack back to ecstasy

You can take it from me

Is that what happens when I take the lead

Why don’t you take me away, far away

Where no one can here anything that I say

But you, and me, and him, and them

Alright

solo

Why don’t you take me away, far away

Where no one can here anything that I say

But you, and me, and him, and them

Alright

Risky woman won’t you leave me alone

Adventure forever my oh my

How can I help when I’m going blind

Going blind

Ep 11: 'The Little Things'

Fri, 13 Jul 2018 04:09:04 GMT

The boys have gotten too comfortable! They've forgotten why they're here! A truly terrible song brings them back down to Earth.

'THE LITTLE THINGS' LYRICS:

VERSE 1

It’s in the way you kiss me

It’s in the way you wrap your arms around me

It’s in the way you make me feel when no one can

It’s in the glow I feel when I’m holding your hand

PRECHORUS

Times may be hard

But as long as I’ve got you to get me

Through I will be fine

I knew from the start

My destiny was testing me

Your heart beats ‘longside mine

CHORUS

The little things, The little things

That you do for me, that you don’t see

The little things, the little things

That get me through my day

You make the bad times go away

VERSE 2

It’s in the way you speak to me

Like you and I are equal

Like I’m a human being

It’s in the way you look at me

That makes me want to hold you

In my arms for all eternity

PRECHORUS

And you just can’t beat

That feeling when you find out that it’s

Not a one way street

No more defeat

I’ll know that I’ve won, when the day comes

I’m running down your street

CHORUS

The little things, The little things

…do for me, that you don’t see

The little things, the little things

That get me through my day

…make the bad times go away

VERSE 3

It’s in the way that we’re friends

The fact that if we made it anything

more it’d probably end

It’s in the way you give meaning to my life

And somehow at the same time

You cut me like a knife

PRECHORUS

I think on it at night

It must be in my mind, you’ll find

We’ve never had much friction

I know I’ll be alright

But I can’t get my head round the fact

You’re a walking contradiction

CHORUS

The little things, The little things

That get me asking why

You make me smile before I cry

The little things, the little things

That get me through my day

Don’t ask me how, you know your ways

…little things…

Ep 10: 'Waiting' ft. Peter Harvey

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 04:21:00 GMT

This week we're in the studio with Peter Harvey from Homefront!

Check out Homefront at Leave this Town pop-punk festival!

'WAITING' LYRICS:

Waiting for you is like staring at the stars on a cloudy night.

Waiting for you is like trying to leap to mars with no means of flight.

Every day, I think about you all the time, but I guess it goes unnoticed

like those colours in a blackout...

The light goes down, the night comes out

the queue disperses but I'm still waiting in line

the moon comes up, the day is waining

and I'm still waiting waiting waiting.

Every moment was wasted on your heart

Every fear became reality

Every time I thought about you "loving" me

I must've just imagined, like those colours in a blackout.

The moon is up, the stars are out

but clouds are forming, the rain is pouring down on me

but as it clears, the night is fading

but I'm still waiting waiting waiting

I close my eyes, its the only way I see you

standing there in front of me

I turn away, 'cause you're not really there

just like the colours in a blackout

Waiting for you personified infatuation

waiting for you helped define imagination

wasted hours i thought about you finding me

guess I never really mattered

like those colours in a blackout

I guess you just ignored me

like those colours in a blackout

its a shame, you could have known me.

and those colours in a blackout...

The moon goes down, the sun comes out

one day older, but not much wiser

but I know what's what, and I know what's not

so I'm done waiting waiting waiting

waiting for you.

Tune in as the boys discuss Alex's first not-fully-terrible song! Also a salute to bakers.

KNOCK ME DOWN LYRICS

Verse 1

That’s enough I can’t do it anymore,

Don’t have the strength to pick my heart up off the floor

‘Cos every time I do

You knock me down

I change myself in every way

So those three words I’d hear you say

But baby, ooo baby,

You knock me down

CHORUS

Oh and baby when you break my heart

You really go to town

I set ‘em up

and you knock me down

I said baby when you’re breakin' my heart,

You really go to town

I set ‘em up

And you knock me down

Verse 2

I am going to lock the door

Not gonna fall in love anymore

Cos every time I do

You knock me down

It hurts enough to hear you love another

But when you say you love me like a brother

Baby, those times,

They knock me down

(Those times they knock me)

CHORUS

Oh and baby when you break my heart

You really go to town

I set ‘em up

and you knock me down

I said baby when you’re breakin' my heart,

You really go to town

I set ‘em up

And you knock me down (down, down down)

-SOLO-

Outro

Oh and baby in the dead of night

When there’s no one else around

I set ‘em up

And you knock me down

Ep 7: 'Rose Garden'

Fri, 18 May 2018 06:50:00 GMT

Join us on a sugar-fueled journey into the minds of two dinguses. Christmas songs, special guests, and ice-cold burns.

'ROSE GARDEN' LYRICS

-spoken word-

One more time, one more time

Verse 1

When the world just gets too hard

I go to my rose garden

And I sit and lat the fragrance take me away

I could spend hours

Lying amongst the flowers

And thinking back to a happier time

On the days when the world is grey

Chorus

Ooo x3

Rose garden

An escape form time and space

Verse 2

They always give me the time of day

So in my own way

I do what I can to help them out

Sometimes it’s a test of my metal

Living amongst the petals

You might call that girly

But I guess thats what it’s all about

Chorus

Ooo x3

Rose garden

An escape form time and space

Verse 3

Sometimes a thorn will make me cry

And I’ll wish that all those roses die

Keeping flowers alive can seem so futile

The pain may be real

But wounds they do heal

My flowers are always there for me

The feeling should be mutual

Chorus (key change)

Ooo x3

Rose garden

An escape form time and space

Ooo x3

Rose garden

It’s funny how such little things

Can turn my feelings, make me sting

Spoken word:

Ooo! Rose garden!

You’re an escape form both time and space aren’t you?

And ooo! Rose garden!

It’s funny how such little things can turn my feelings and make me sting, isn’t it?

But whenever we’re together we have the most wonderful time!

We have so much fun!

Oh I love you rose garden!

…Got any snuff?! …Any per chance?

Any snuff, anyone?!

'Walking Straight' Lyrics

Written by Nick O’Donnell & Floodboy | Performed by Floodboy

I’ve been walking around and stumbling down

with my feet firmly off the ground

The words don’t come out when I’m speaking

And I don’t know what I’m drinking

She lit a match and burnt my finger

and it’s only the pain that lingers

So I lie today and you’ll know the truth tomorrow

and the pain will stay knowing you now know the meaning

Hold on to what you’ve been looking for

Hold on too what you’ve been searching for

We were walking we lost our way

Saw a mirrorball wished I was there

So I lie today and you’ll know the truth tomorrow

and the pain will stay knowing you now know the meaning

I’ve been walking around and stumbling down

with my feet firmly off the ground

'NO WORDS' LYRICS

Verse 1

I think the human race has run out of ways

For me to tell you this

But I’m gonna try to tell you anyway

Cos I can’t risk losing you

Verse 2

Cos you have the voice of an angel

And your eyes shine like the moon

You’ve got a warmth about you just like the sun

And a smile that lights up the room

Bridge

How it is I alluded telling you this

The answer alludes me

Verse 3

And the human race has still run out of ways

But listen please, I need you to

I want you to be with me for the rest of your days

That’s right, I’m saying I love you

Verse 4

And it’s funny how the human race will never change

Just like I won’t stop loving you

You’ll always have the voice of an angel to me

And your eyes will always shine like the moon

I am on my bended knees

Listen to these cries from my soul

Thu, 22 Mar 2018 23:12:10 GMT

'EMMA, EMMA LYRICS'

Spoken: 1, 2….1, 2, 3, 4

Verse 1

When you came here you had no friends,

I said your loneliness was at an end.

You meant the world to me,

I said nothing could ruin us and you agreed.

You said if I had a task

That I needed doing all I had was to ask.

So allow me to take the floor,

Why is it you don’t talk to me anymore?

CHORUS

Emma, Emma, I got a dilemma

I love you with my all but you don’t care I exist.

And baby, baby, you’re driving me crazy,

Cos every time I bring it up you get really pissed.

Woah woah woah

Verse 2

Not to sound cliche,

But I’ve never felt this way.

I loved you even when

You slept with my best friend.

Sometimes I wonder why I stayed true,

And I remember I needed you,

That’s right despite all the lies,

I never left your side.

CHORUS

Emma, Emma, I got a dillemma

I love you with my all but you don’t care I exist.

And baby, baby, you’re driving me crazy,

Cos every time I bring it up you get really pissed.

Woah Woah Woah

Verse 3

Our situations

Were never clear,

We weren’t free to date

Any time of the year.

You used me, abused me and tossed me aside.

Not to mention you tore out my insides.

Verse 4

You gave me your hand, I gave you my heart,

And with that same hand, you tore it apart

I tried to make you see,

Now you won’t even look at me.

BRIDGE

Maybe you don’t want

A man by your side,

All I know is when I ask

I’d best run and hide.

CHORUS

Emma, Emma, I got a dilemma

I love you with my all but you don’t care I exist.

And baby, baby, you’re driving me crazy,

Cos every time I bring it up you get really pissed.

Woah Woah Woah

Spoken: Bugger put it back, put it back, put it back!

-click-

Spoken: Yeah! (Proceeds to beatbox because that’s what this song needs)

-SOLO-

OUTRO

Call me a glutton for punishment baby,

Cos I still love you!

Emma, Emma, you got a dilemma,

Emma, Emma, you got a dilemma.
