Peanuts and Whisky

Did you say what you wanted to say?
But I didn't listen anyway
I wrote it down then forgot about it
Did it feel how you thought it would feel?
Did you have enough time to heal?
I took advantage of your pain
Well what did you expect?
When your liver gave way
In retrospect, you're to blame
What did you expect?
When your heart gave way
In retrospect we're the same
Did you settle for someone healthy?
Someone like you but deliciously wealthy
With his tongue in his cheek and a wink in his eye
Wouldn't you prefer someone risky?
On a diet of peanuts and whisky
You'll tell yourself that you never had so much fun
Well what did you expect?
When your liver gave way
In retrospect, you're to blame
What did you expect?
When your body gave way
In retrospect we're the same
Its a binding contract
You cannot go back
No, you cannot go back
No, you cannot rewind
On the side where I'm blind
You caught me offside
No you caught me
No you caught me

A Word in Edgeways

Did you hear what we said?
Did you hear what we said?
We don't listen to you
We don't listen to you
Do you know what we want?
Do you know what we want?
Just to get the words in
Just to get the words in
A word in edgeways
A word in edgeways
We all heard what you said
We all heard you the first time
But we don't listen to you
We don't listen to you
You have all you want
So just shut the fuck up
Can we get the words in?
Can we get the words in?
A word in edgeways
A word in edgeways
A word in edgeways
Giving a shit is a full time job

Jelly Beans

I'm a soft sell
You can pick me up
At a cut rate
And then throw me away when you're done
I prefer the blue
You prefer the green
We can't agree on jelly beans
Cos I am bored of you
And you are bored of me
And we are bored of saccharine
I'm a band aid
If you rip me off
It'll hurt less
To everyone but you when you're done
I prefer the blue
You prefer the green
We can't agree on jelly beans
Cos I am bored of you
And you are bored of me
And we are bored of saccharine
I prefer the blue
You prefer the green
We can't agree on jelly beans
Cos I am bored of you
And you are bored of me
And we are bored of saccharine
I prefer the blue
You prefer the green
We can't agree on jelly beans
Just cos I like the red
It means I like you best
But you prefer all the rest

Swings and Roundabouts

If you could see yourself now
You would laugh
You've got that good material
Its all just swings and roundabouts
In your head
You've got your whistles and bells
Have I got your attention?
You don't know my intention
You've got your machiavellian ways
They're at an end
I staged a political coup
Have I got your attention?
You don't know my intention
Have I got your attention?
You don't know my intention
Have I got your attention?
You don't know my intention
Have I got your attention?
You don't know my intention

Take a look around you now
You are getting me down
Everything that you see
So much comes for free
Give and take, give and take
That's the world that we made
Always needing what we want
Never wanting what we need
Its a bad move
To see things
From a pessimistic view
And its a bad move
To see things
The same way as you
Its ok, its alright
Everything will be alright
An you know its ok, its alright
And everything will be alright
Smell the coffee, drink it down
Then you sit there thinking how
We can hate, we can kill
Anybody at our will
Give and take, give and take
That's the world that we made
Take a breath, count to ten
Then we start to hate again
Its a bad move
To see things
From a pessimistic view
And its a bad move
To see things
The same way as you
Its ok, its alright
Everything will be alright
And you know its ok, its alright
And everything will be alright
Its ok, its alright
Everything will be alright
And you know its ok, its alright
And everything will be alright
