Good Old Friend

GOOD OLD FRIEND
he sits alone in his room every night I come in
every day has to be the same
he’s afraid of a change
and you haven’t been around lately
he seems to be so lost on his own
I sometimes wonder what’s his story
but lately I’ve been too busy writing my own
and you still haven’t been around
I know you know what is going on
so he will stay his own best friend
because people, they’re so hard to please
and years will pass, oh you’ll realise
he will be still sitting here
oh it will break your heart
what once was here now is gone
he used to be your good old friend
but now he is a friend of mine
I know you tried and tried and tried
then walked away and said good bye
but you didn’t even read what he wrote
he said ‘thank you for the music and the good old times’
he said ‘thank you for the music and the good old times’
so he will stay his own best friend
you know people, they’re so hard to please
and years will pass, boy, you’ll realise
he will be still sitting here
oh it will break your heart
oh it will break your heart
I hope it breaks your heart
what once was here now is gone

I'm Fine, Thank You

I’M FINE, THANK YOU
I met a woman, empty as a shell
I swear to god
she tried to put me through a hell
all this time I kept on thinking ‘oh why me?’
all this time I kept on hoping
that it was just a dream, but
her eyes were digging for some gold
and for her age, I swear
she looked so god damn old
at night I laid awake, questioning
‘what have I done wrong
to deserve this kind of treatment
from someone so ugly and so cold?’
but I’m fine, yes I’m fine
I might have lost my faith in human
humankind, lalalalala
humankind, lalalalala
with dishonest deeds you might grow a dark soul
some people they don’t care
well who cares? I don’t know
I shouldn’t bother stressing
I’ll just write these simple lines
because before I die, I’m sure
life will fuck me over thousand times
no I won’t forgive, I try so hard to forget
the words of petty people
and the horrid day we met
when I walk away, no
I won’t be coming back
I’ll leave you to your shallow ways
hope you get a heart attack
but I’m fine, yes I’m fine
I might have lost my faith in human
humankind, lalalalala
humankind, lalalalala
oh I’m fine, yes I’m fine
I might have lost my faith in human
humankind, lalalalala
humankind, lalalalala
well won’t you come and tell me
tell me what I should have done
I guess the moral of the story is
don’t trust anyone
but I’m fine, yes I’m fine
I might have lost my faith in human
humankind, lalalalala
humankind, lalalalala
oh I’m fine, yes I’m fine
I might have lost my faith in human
humankind, lalalalala
humankind, lalalalala
humankind, lalalalala
humankind, lalalalala

Afraid to Die Alone

AFRAID TO DIE ALONE
oh he yelled it’s all my fault
but why do you? why do you
keep on changing your name?
I don’t wanna lose
oh I don’t wanna lose
this game
you keep pulling
further and further away
and what I’ve done wrong
I guess I’ll never know
you leave me home crying
so afraid of dying
alone
oh he yelled it’s all my fault
and what I’ve done wrong
I guess I’ll never know
you leave me home crying
so afraid of dying
you leave me home crying
so afraid of dying
alone

Short Lived Pleasures

SHORT LIVED PLEASURES
I take the night bus home
yes I know
lately I’ve been out of control
but this ache
somehow I cannot shake it off
but I won’t break
no I won’t break
and though lately things been going my way
my heart still needs a reason to stay
and these short lived pleasures
they lead me astray and my love
it fades away
so I move so close that it burns
from my mistakes, oh, will I ever learn?
help me find a way
to make me innocent again
I wanna be innocent again
past days have all blended into one
and my mind won’t let go
of the things that I’ve done
and it always seems to be
the same old trap
oh into which I fall right back
no you don’t have to tell me what I’ve done wrong
I know exactly what’s going on
these short lived pleasures
they lead me astray and my love
it fades away
so I move so close that it burns
from my mistakes, oh, will I ever learn?
help me find a way
to make me innocent again
yes I move so close, oh it burns
from my mistakes, well I guess I
I never learned
help me find a way
to make me innocent again
I wanna be innocent again
I wanna be innocent again

Ain't So Bad

AIN’T SO BAD
oh I ain’t mad, I just wish I knew what you were thinking
I ain’t mad, it’s just my confidence is shrinking
and I cannot stop thinking about
where people like you come from
tried my best to make it alright
everyone knows it’s no good to end a night with a fight
oh I wasted my time, to be honest
you ain’t that fine
but I’ve got my family
and oh I’ve got my friends in need
oh it ain’t so bad, oh it ain’t so bad
for me
maybe one day you’re gonna wake up and see
that there’s more to life than to lie and steal
oh it ain’t so bad, oh it ain’t so bad
for me
I try to piece together that fucked up night
I think you looked ok and your dance moves were alright
maybe I’m too cruel but you’re shallow
and you’re acting like a fool
I stick with my friend who’s been put down to ground
you say ‘calm down, I’ll turn this situation around’
fuck you and your mates, have it all
there’s nothing left from us to take
but I’ve got my family
and oh I’ve got my friends in need
oh it ain’t so bad, oh it ain’t so bad
for me
maybe one day you’re gonna wake up and see
that there’s more to life than to lie and steal
oh it ain’t so bad, oh it ain’t so bad
for me
oh it ain’t so bad, oh it ain’t so bad
for me
yes I’ve got my family
and oh I’ve got my friends in need

DREAMER
mama, I’ve been dreaming
of all the things I could become
my friends, they don’t believe me
oh mama, please tell me that they’re the only ones
all my life I’ve been a dreamer
but my mama said it ain’t for everyone
and she knows I’m not gonna leave her
oh mama, I’m your only son
I met this girl she could be the one
oh mama, please do not treat her that way
we’ve been meeting up every single day
now nothing you’ll do will make me stay
all my life I’ve been a dreamer
but my mama said it ain’t for everyone
and she knows I’m not gonna leave her
oh mama, I’m your only son
and if you want I will become no one
no one, no one
it’s not how I planned this
I’m so sorry for all that I’ve done
as the days grow longer
oh I’ve been feeling older every day
but I don’t want your death on my shoulders
I guess I’ll stay here until the end
all my life I’ve been a dreamer
but my mama said it ain’t for everyone
and she knows I’m not gonna leave her
oh mama, I’m your only son
and if you want I will be come no one
no one

Leaving Town

LEAVING TOWN
oh you turn away
I guess you never wanted
for me to come and stay
and now I know every corner of this town
and now I know all the people I need
to get around, to get around here
I never thought I’d stay
my heart was torn but I still couldn’t walk away
and now every day starts to look the same
and the stories you tell
I’ve heard them before
a couple of times or maybe even more
and all the roads I take
they lead to dead end streets
and all the friends I’ve made
they seem to go their own ways
again
oh won’t you take me away
somewhere I’ve never been
I don’t ask for much these days
maybe a little change
you said ‘this place will never change its ways’
you said ‘this place will never change its ways’
and all the roads I take
they lead to dead end streets
and all the friends I’ve made
they seem to go their own ways
again
and I wish you well I hope life will treat you kind
but I’ve got to go, I’m about to lose my mind
and all the roads I take
they lead to dead end streets
and all the friends I’ve made
they seem to go their own ways
again
oh you turn away
I guess you never wanted
for me to come and stay

DISAPPEAR
I want to disappear for a while
but I’m running out of places where
oh where could, where could I hide?
oh what I am, oh what I am?
I've lost my mind
I love you all but I have fallen out of touch
I do not know where I’ll be going
but you don’t seem to care
too much any more
oh where it will, oh when it will all end?
and all I wanted was for you to try and see
that what I am is just a human being
and yes I’ve made mistakes, I always will
but you won’t understand, your world stands still
this life I lead I know it breaks your heart
but I cannot do any better
I do not want to go back to the start
you’ll see me coming
oh you’ll see me coming home
and all I wanted was for you to try and see
that what I am is just a human being
and yes I’ve made mistakes, I always will
but you won’t understand, your world stands still
no you won’t understand, your world stands still
yes I’ve made mistakes, I always will
but you won’t understand, your world stands still
no you won’t understand, your world stands still
