How!
Can people turn out to be,
Close-minded to the degree,
They can't see themselves in others...?
I worked places with many men,
(Who said-d-d-d)
Everyone different to them were fair game,
Take aim,
Blame um all.
International friendly!
We've got friendly to send,
Needn't have to be the end,
We have the means to defend
each other, hands to be lended,
Where there're bonds to be mended,
An embrace is exteeennnnded,
To you,
Through you,
To you,
And yours...
Time.
Will leave the bigots behind,
There'll be no space in our lives
for hate filled people,
Hist'ry will render their memories faint,
Render their opinions quaint
and foolish, cruel,
just boorishness,
(yes)
International friendly!
We've got friendly to send,
Needn't have to be the end,
We have the means to defend
each other, hands to be lended,
Where there're bonds to be mended,
An embrace is extended,
To you,
Through you,
To you,
And yours

It never seemed to be too hard to see
But you don't know I'm diamonds
I never tried to hide it from your eyes
But you don't know I'm diamonds
When it's time to walk, you talk and talk
And it sounds like silence
You say you sell the finest pearl
But you know it's nylons
You draw the lines in chalk around
You clock your conscience in and out
You tick the boxes on your sheets & sheets & sheets
Your buried head is in the tape you keep
There's never no hello, even for show
You've got a face like Tyson
I can hear so clear, you've no idea
Thoughts turn to violence
So desperate to be, you never see none
You round up the rest, that's how the west was won
One day you decide, grab something blind and
Push all you can, push all you can
One rule for we, one for you
Confronted, you get your little bone to chew
Aw, it makes you proud
And round & round until confused,
Insulted, your stumbling bovine anger grew
So throw your weight around and
You draw the lines in chalk around
You clock your conscience in and out
You tick the boxes on your sheets & sheets & sheets
Your buried head is in the tape you keep

We're coming down from the hills to our TV & pills to sit still, chill & just will it all away
So goodbye everyone, it's been fun but I must run the time's come to sit, kick back and complain
All for one one for all was the call I recall a cartoon dog with a moustache & sword from back in the day
C'mon let's get lonely
Till everything feels so homely
And trying to climb the walls
But there's no way up
They seems so in the know, just a bit down below so I reached out slow, just enough to dip my toes
(but it's too cold)
It's convenience or death, so push me right or left, tell me it's more or less, I'm too stressed it's all for the best
Someone tell me what it was, I'm clutching as straws trying to find to cause and applause and disregard the flaws
C'mon let's get lonely
Till everything feels so homely
And trying to climb the walls
But there's no way up
I need to hear some more spin so the message sinks in through my thin skin, sing the same hymn from here on in
Give me boxes to tick so I can choose quick & stick, pick the biggest, slickest ticket on the list
All for one one for all was the call I recall a cartoon dog with a moustache & sword from back in the day
C'mon let's get lonely
Till everything feels so homely
And trying to climb the walls
But there's no way up

Everyday I'm with you baby I get more insane with love
And now my grin is growing
Eyes are rolling back in my skull
Ooh. Now that I have you
Now that I have you...
I dangerously love you
Push and shove through crowds to be near
And I know that it's serious
I'm delerious
Sense dissapears
Ooh. Now that I have you
Now that I have you...
Before I had this madness
I was so sadness every day
But now the clouds have lifted and hid
I'm up, up and away
Ooh. Now that I have you
Now that I have you...
Now I just say what's in my mind
In any place or time
Who cares why
I think of snow in summertime
And all the church bells chime
Tuneless in my mind
Now that I found you
Now that I have you...

Saaaaaaay
What you wannuh say to me
Say what you believe
'cause it's only what you mean and that's ok
Show the way you feel inside
And whatever's on your mind
'cause it's only what you think that keeps you sane
You can ask what I say that I see
You can ask what I say that I feel
You can ask what I say that I say
Whatever fills the time,
Whatever fits the line,
'cause it's only what it is and who knows why
I say!
All the things I need to say,
About as deep as a
Puddle
Eloquent as a punch in the puss
You can ask what I say that I see
You can ask what I say that I feel
You can ask what I say that I say
Ask yourself a question
Once you slowly start
Teach yourself a lesson
Beat yourself apart

Sink positive
Sink positive
Sink positive thoughts
Sink positive
Sink positive
Sink positive
Once there was a time in my life
When I had to think right just to get by
Now my life is so luxurious
That I can just mope around and
Sink positive
Sink positive
Sink positive thoughts
Sink positive
Sink positive
Sink positive
If ever I doubt my mindset
I double down in my smartphone
It validates all my suffering
And for the price I should think so too
I sink positive
Sink positive
Sink positive thoughts
Sink positive
Sink positive
Sink positive
Once there was a time in my life
Of sensible graft
But now that I huff so comfy
That time has passed

Tears on the sidelines
And tears in the crowd
Tears well up underneath
Jim Leighton's Vaseline eyebrows
I was only fourteen
Look at the state of me now
From all the struggle between
We still made it back somehow
So let's get pumped - for the World Cup
Let's get pumped - all over again
Let's get pumped - for the World Cup
Turn up
Not curl up & cry
This time
Holy fuck it's really happening!
Holy fuck it's really happening!
Holy fuck it's really happening!
For those who never
Made it to the big stage
The Jim Baxters, Fergusons, McFaddens, Fletchers, Browns and Raes/Rays
Let's not take it lightly
Or pretend it's no big thing
There's every chance it might be
The last time I get to sing:
Let's get pumped - for the World Cup
Let's get pumped - all over again
Let's get pumped - for the World Cup
Turn up
Not curl up & cry
This time
Holy fuck it's really happening!
Holy fuck it's really happening!
Holy fuck it's really happening!
Holy fuck it's really happening!
Holy fuck it's really happening!

Straight to DVD, with you
and Straight to DVD, with me
I had no idea at the time
That the gag reel would be the highlights
There was no inkling in my mind
That the trailer was so selective
Oh regrets
I have but no regrets
In me
Simple story of me & mine
Close my eyes, it all comes to me
Nothing, no, never change a scene
Never was, isn't for the big screen
They say slow
Unfocused, a curio
And so
Straight to DVD, with you
and Straight to DVD, with me
Straight to DVD, with you
and Straight to DVD, with me

All the pretty pictures
All the crazy sounds that fill the air
Open up your eyes and see
For the first time open up your eye
It's time to meet the world
There's a family waiting for you there
Open up your eyes and see
For the first time rest your hand in mine
Zoe, come and meet me
Now you tell me stories
And the sounds come through easy and clear
When you sing your songs to me
I completely can't believe my ears
There's a voice inside you
And the voice it speaks only for you
Tell the whole world how you see
Or tell no-one, not a single soul
Zoe, came to meet me
Slowly, the colours grow
And stories are born anew
They show me them show themselves to you
Memories, melodies all follow
Overflow, slowly
Slowly
Slowly
Go slowly
Zoe

Memories
burst in me
and I'm away
Back to the days
of me & you
Remember when
marbles & cards on the floor
And the garden to explore
was enough for us
Some people come, some go,
I hope that you
Felt I was there to
the end
Now I'm daydreaming
Playing together again
Four billion yen
I'd pay
(probably)
Blow, north wind, blow
Whispering low
I'm listening as you go
Flow, river, flow
Wave to me slow
I don't understand you though
I try
