Buddy can we pretend nothing's missing Between us now you're leaving Pretty soon you'll fill a room with ecstasy and kerosene Sleeping in the shadow of another flightpath For so long you've waited on Someone to love to come along And grieve for you when you're leaving home Impermanent Celibate Elegant It's only once I've read between the empty lines I can understand and read on It seems to me that suddenly we were happy being miserable Sweeping out the gutters on your neighbour's footpath Loving arms and lucky charms Aren't lucky for the ones who love To care for you when you're feeling numb Impertinent Intelligent Elegant I can't believe that we'd fall in love How could we have been so dumb? Why on earth should we make up Just before you're leaving town? For so long you've waited on Someone to love to come along And grieve for you when you're leaving

Overboard 02:48
I hear that you believe in a resurrection I hear that you believe in a Maori Jesus You say that you await a second coming On the gorse covered hills of sheep and possums The moon is high In an Auckland sky Four million dreams can't be right When they're dreams of nothing I hear your next door neighbour's a piece of beefcake Telling everyone he's hung like a Brontosaurus Apparently he makes you feel a little inadequate Says he's got buns of steel Says he's a genius The tree is still On one tree hill I've got a myth to kill And I'm going to kill it The sun is high In an Auckland sky I've got an axe to grind And I'm going to grind it Going overboard in the South Pacific

Summertime 03:29
Love is coming and going It’s biting, fighting, pushing and shoving Being in love is a lot like eating chocolate It’s sweet and sickly and sometimes a little bit sticky Sleeping in pyjamas all day all day Sleeping in pyjamas all day long Reading Sunday papers all day all day Reading Sunday papers all day long Summer is sunshine and burning Snogging on the beach, it’s eating and it’s drinking And summertime means sand up your cossie Boy in dick-sticker, girl in bikini Lying on the beach all day all day Sunning on the rocks all day long Inviting all your worst friends to a backyard barbie Snags on the barbie four inch long Friendship is cheese and macaroni It’s a little slice of old baloney, mushy peas and mashed potatoes And being in a friendship involves a smorgasbord of emotion From a barbecue of betrayal to a buffet of devotion

you’ve beaten every doubt with a smile today is the first day of a brand new start the first new day of the rest of your life all you needed was belief in yourself didn’t need any help but it helped that someone else could believe it as well maintenant tu as dents blanches sans fautes dents droites all the waiting it could drive you insane but you’re strong and now they’re gone let’s celebrate the braces off you’ll never need them again you’ve beaten, defeated every doubt with a smile today is the first day of a brand new start the first new day of the rest of your life all you needed was belief in yourself didn’t need any help but it helped that someone else could believe it as well maintenant tu as dents blanches sans fautes dents droites all the waiting, the patience it could drive you insane but you’re strong and now they’re gone let’s celebrate the braces off you’ll never need them again

Mark E Smith 03:07
You've got a funny way about you You seem to laugh when it hurts You've got no right to be pissed off or disappointed You've got no right to be kicking up a storm in your bed You've got a funny way of talking You seem to miss out your verbs You should know a thing or two about word construction Instead your conversation's full of meaning without sense You seem to laugh when it hurts Don't know why you waste your time Trying to make me part of your life You've got a funny way of singing You sound like Mark E Smith-ah Your morbid preoccupation with dying May be selfish but it's good as any reason to live You seem to laugh when it hurts Don't know why you waste your time Trying to make me part of your life

Weeds 02:00
Nothing ever lasts long Nothing ever lasts long Nothing ever is forever Though nothing feels quite right Everything's going to be alright Don't worry about pulling the weeds out of your garden Weeding helps the flowers to grow Don't worry be happy Don't you worry at all Because Nothing ever lasts long Nothing ever lasts long Nothing ever is forever Though nothing feels quite right Everything's going to be alright Chasing rainbows in the dead of night Everything's going to be alright

Accelerate 03:26
Tell me this is real Tell me I can feel An angel caught on a lightning rod Staring through a storm at the face of God Stranded in a flux between the earth and the sky and silence Don't ask me what it's like Dying near the speed of light A sigh at the edge of a universe Staring down the barrel at the face of death I'll execute a split, dance a little jig Leave a fingerprint in the snow of chaos Accelerate Can I ask you a question of ethics Of right and wrong? Can I pose a paradox of logic Between big and small? Will you find evidence of a contract Between God and man? Can I ask you to make a distinction Between life and...
