Cherophobia

I keep waiting for something to go wrong
And when all is well
I have to mess it up
If it feels wonderful
That’s just not good enough
I’m in my happy place
It scares me half to death
I know that something bad
Just hasn’t happened yet
I keep waiting for something to go wrong
The lightness in my heart
It’s just unbearable
It’s a new sensation
That’s something terrible
A new dawn
A new day
And I’m feeling down
Let’s take that smile and turn it upside down
I keep waiting for something to go wrong
Surely it must be right this time
I keep waiting for something to go wrong

If You're Happy...
03:15

Don’t keep apologising
Hell no
Are you still waiting for your victory parade?
Hell yes
If you’re happy and you know it
It’s the drugs
The midnight sun didn’t shine for you
Boo hoo
I crossed my fingers and the arctic circle
Everywhere we go
We keep losing time
Everywhere we go
We keep losing our minds
If you’re happy and you know it
It’s the drugs
Is this boat sinking?
I keep thinking
There’s something wrong with me
Ah
I keep thinking
Ah
If you’re happy and you know it
It’s the drugs

Lucky Day
03:24
|
|||
|
You went to say goodbye
But there was no one waving
Behind your fading smile
There is no one worth saving
Get back home safe
Don’t stay out late
Feels like tough love
Someone cares enough
It’s your lucky day
Today
You got another chance
To make a good impression
Don’t leave it all to hope
You might miss out on heaven
It’s your lucky day
Today
You play the odds at times
Do you ever break even?
The lights so far behind
You couldn’t even see them
Don’t wait too long
We might be gone
Why not tempt fate?
It won’t deviate
It’s your lucky day
Today

The Value Of Nothing
03:38
|
|||
|
You started out with nothing
You work hard
You play hard
You mark your progress through this life
In brand names and head games
Put the money up
You know the price of everything
And the value of nothing
When you make a killing
You feel good
You’re real good
You count the cost of your success
In some style
And fake smiles
Put the money up
You know the price of everything
And the value of nothing
You started out with nothing
You’ve got all of it left
The empty feeling in your heart
In ex-wives
And past lives
Put the money up
You know the price of everything
And the value of nothing

You Couldn't Make It Up
03:10
|

|
You documented every plate of food
But didn’t eat it
And now un-boxing is your bag
Un-bagging a box?
Buying virtual you
Virtual clothes
To wear on the virtual main drag
You couldn’t make it up
Will you pay more for sustainable junk
Saving the planet through retail
Black is the new black
It comes round again
Nothing changes but the details
You couldn’t make it up
Vote yes!
When they say let’s privatise air
You’re winning the race to be last in the line
On the way to the bottom
Blame someone else when you find you can’t pay
And they cut off your supply
You couldn’t make it up
You need anything else
I don’t believe it myself
You couldn’t make it up

Upstairs With Derek
03:16
|
|||
|
There’s not much to say to be honest with you
It’s so quiet here and there’s nothing to do
I’m over the worst
There’s nothing to do
There’s not much to say
Now you’re gone
I think about you and the clock stops again
I’ll go for a walk if it doesn’t keep raining
I’m over the worst
I think about you
It keeps no raining
Now you’re gone
I saw an old friend but he didn’t have time
It seems such a shame he could have some of mine
I’m over the worst
I’ve got plenty of time
It seems such a shame
Now you’re gone
How long are these days meant to be anyway?
To be honest with you there’s not much to say
I’m over the worst
There’s not much to say
Now you’re gone

A Mind Of Its Own
03:14
|
|||
|
Oh my god
It’s full of butterflies
Floored by the death ray
Shooting from your eyes
I’m down on my knees
Your skin is made of stars
I’m shaking like a lamb
It makes me go too far
It’s got a mind of its own
It’s gonna take me to wonderland
It’s got a mind of its own
Its gonna break me and take me over
Comes like a tidal wave
To wash us all away
You’re in another country
Where everything you say
Must have a hidden meaning
Comes with a hidden cost
Welcome to paradise
You look a little lost
It’s got a mind of its own
It’s gonna take me to wonderland
It’s got a mind of its own
Its gonna break me and take me over
It’s like an alien
Controls my every move
I took the safety off
There’s nothing left to prove
It’s not a real thing
And none of this is true
It’s just the way you are
And all the things you do
It’s got a mind of its own
It’s gonna take me to wonderland
It’s got a mind of its own
Its gonna break me and take me over

Choosing A Side
02:49
|
|||
|
Neutrality is your defence
But that’s just sitting on the fence
Choosing a side
You take a stand
You burn your bridges
To be a man choosing a side
What you call diplomacy
Just seems like copping out to me
Choosing a side
You take a stand
You burn your bridges
To be a man choosing a side
Pay your money take your choice
Be sure that you don’t lose your voice
Choosing a side
You take a stand
You burn your bridges
To be a man choosing a side
Choosing not to choose is still a choice
Choosing a side
You take a stand
You burn your bridges
To be a man choosing a side

Life Imitates Art
03:16
|
|||
|
You can put words in my mouth
You can dress me up in fashion
You can paint my face in blue
Paint my face in blue
You can burn me up in passion
Life imitates art
Imitates life
Imitates art
You can walk a crooked mile
It would take a crooked man
You can steal me in the open
You can put me on your wall
Restore me when I’m broken
Life imitates art
Imitates life
Imitates art
You can rip me up in shreds
You can buy me like I’m nothing
I’m nothing
You can change your mind about me
You can change your mind without me
Life imitates art
Imitates life
Imitates art
