The New Kings Of This Town 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Whats wrong with the scene these days? You've got the same old bands with the same old songs and you laugh if they don't sound the same Take aim and fire away Ive got a target on my chest with a bullet proof vest but im feeling your shots all the same You wont ever bring me down We laugh at things you spread around town If you live in a glass house don't throw stones We will always make you proud There will be no stopping us now Get us started I swear we'll be unstoppable Give me something, Something to sing about We stare at all the same rock stars Month after month, Year after year we worship the gods from afar Lets start again right now Where the old get out and the young stay young and we sing our songs from the fucking heart. We are the new kings of this town We came along to bring you down

Aint No Revolution 04:11
lyrics
buy track
There's nothing better than a soldier with a nihilistic streak Fighting wars we don't believe in, We are the 51st state Wash your hands of foreign lands because ignorance is bliss So dust your medals down and place them on your chest for your parade Where you're treated like a hero Best take secrets to the grave Wash your hands of foreign lands because ignorance is bliss For god and country Geronimo! Geronimo! Lets take the idle and the simpletons and send them off to war either end up in St Marys or end up on x factor If it is intelligence you're after stay away from this The futures bright if you're far right there are somethings that never change If we just follow our fathers and give up at this stage Time is the greatest healer but I don't have time to waste This aint no revolution This is evolution at its best

Lets Stay Young 03:59
lyrics
buy track
I walk around this town and I cant see The places that we roamed as kids have all deserted me Where the hells my city gone I just don't understand Newport City's changed so much that I cant stand I don't think I'd recognize you anymore Lets stay young Whats the point in growing old? Lets stay young Lets stay young I walk around this town and I cant see The shops and streets are building sites so many homes empty Where the hells my city gone I just dont understand Crumpled concrete rules the street and I cant stand it Something old, something new Something borrowed, Something blue Keeps us hanging onto you Keeps that halo over you

Camden Queen 04:48
lyrics
buy track
I want to be everything you're not So you'll hate me more and more I want to be everything you're not So you'll love me more and more I'm not a fake, a fraud or thief There's nothing hidden up my sleeve These clothes don't fit my soul no more The problem is with your jealousy, Its nothing but hypocrisy You punch and kick but you wont keep me down I don't need your cliques, being brutal. scene. hip or cool or sic It don't mean much to me We can see through your eyes but we don't need x-ray eyes Bigmouth strikes again Oh boy you're blind why cant you see? You're nothing but a Camden queen Breath deep for me You hold truths you cant believe My god where is your dignity? You punch and kick but you wont keep me down I can read Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Mailer or Plath or Sarah Kane but it don't mean anything It all boils down to how my hair looks next to you Bigmouth strikes again We won even though our backs against the wall

Weight Of The World 04:18
lyrics
buy track
I've got a lot to say about the way we're heading out of this life Do we stay the same or change? I've got a lot of questions but no one around here will ever answer me I've got a lot of questions but no one around here will ever answer me (Get up! Get up!) You've got a lot to learn about where your moneys burnt Stealing politicians with their corrupt policies "don't do nothing for me" (Get up! Get up!) You've got a lot to learn about making your voice heard We'll feel the weight of the world on our shoulders But it wont weigh us down Lets do this one more time Breathe it in, breathe it out just to prove you're still alive And I know we'll find the answers You've had a million chances But no one around here will give you another one You've had a million chances But no one around here will give you another one Speak now or forever hold your peace

Why So Serious 03:05
lyrics

Why so serious? People acting like its the end of the world What the hell is wrong with them? What can we do what can we say to make a difference this time Bad boys on the rocks again it's no surprise Bad boys on the rocks again its in his eyes The rope is round his neck but the rope is all frayed Turns around and looks at you, smiling while his singing Wait I'm alright I've danced with devils in the pale moonlight I'm alright I've danced with devils in the pale moonlight Why so serious? Why so serious? People acting like they are only three words What the hell do they know and What can we do what can we say to save you from yourself You can say you mean it and you dont know why You can say you mean it but you compromise The rope is round his neck but the rope is all frayed This is my town now he says and we're not going to listen to him Wait I'm alright I've danced with devils in the pale moonlight I'm alright I've danced with devils in the pale moonlight Why so serious?

Everybody Gets One 03:34
lyrics

Have you taken everything you need? Are you still working on a different frequency? The doctors here another morning call Head up kid don't feel so ashamed It happens to us all I'm losing my head once again Lost in translation I take the blame Feeling so distant with a pinch of feeling shamed The doctors here another morning call Rudolph Hess never felt so ashamed when he was in his own four walls Just keep believing Just keep believing And pray for the other side Suit yourself you're better than me You wont let it lie till i'm six feet deep Why in the world wont you let me sleep? Please lord let me sleep

Cross My Heart 04:22
lyrics

So it seems good guys really do finish last All you have are lies I see through your disguise Fool me once and shamed on you What is your problem when I'm already out of the frame Fool me twice and shame on me You better run kid before the truth catches up with you All the lights are shining down on you And you've got nowhere left to move One day she'll find out the truth You wont get away with this Honest eyes never speak when they're called into speak When I was down you were the vampire sucking into me would a human really do this to you? Probably not but thats not what we're dealing with Would a monster show you the truth?

Lost @ Sea 03:43
lyrics

Why did it have to be so soon? unexpected, unannounced and out of the blue How can I call it home again? Empty chairs and empty beds All I have are dreams of you Jesus please don't take my baby away You took away the best of us, we'll never be the same I know he's a good one but he's so much left to say Heaven can wait I'm now ready To let him go I feel the waves crash over me But you're the one lost at sea

Keep The Change You Filthy Animal 03:00
lyrics
buy track
(White riot! White noise!) In the valley of death would you still call his name? Or would you run and look for something else When Nietzsche said that "God was dead" He just meant that we were starting again Follow blindly and if its right It'll feel right in your bones (We are the thieves in the night) We are the ones who will start a war You wont get out of here alive (We are the thieves in the night) We are the ones who will run away You wont catch your god laughing at me (White riot! White noise!) You better pray that the rapture comes along real soon Otherwise you'll be left out in the lurch I believe in the devil and god the same There's a devil. And the devil knows my name Follow blindly, there's got to be somewhere greater than here

Dont Let It Go 04:08
lyrics
buy track
If you cannont prove it how the hell do you expect us to believe? In criminal justice? What about the justice for six families? Oh hold in tight, don't ever lose the fight You've got to stay strong now Got to make it right Don't believe the truth that they fed to you Got to make it out of here alive We are all humans here Darling shed those tears I see the hope fading in your eyes But I say Don't Let it go Cos I see the pain in, We let you down We let you rot Throw away the key And leave the kids inside a world of misery To dream of something better To leave the town that turned its back on their own family

I Always Lose 05:00
lyrics
buy track
Im afraid boy of what I have become Always acting so foolish around everyone Always try to win but I always lose Im a realist whose not afraid to dream Sick of acting out cliches from the silver screen Always try to win but I always lose Don't matter if you did, don't matter if you don't Don't matter if you stay, don't matter if you go Don't matter if you say anything at all We'll keep falling This is the death of you and me I'm afraid girl of who you think I am Always changing, pretending around everyone I'm a jester, Juggling different ideals Sick of changing my mind depending how you feel Always try to win but I always lose Always try to win but I always lose I'm a jester, juggling different ideals sick of changing my mind depending how you feel Always try to win but i always lose
