Love Shock 03:22
Johnny was a butcher Good at cutting up the meat, Sarah was a neighbour Only living down the street So he took her to a disco And they cut up the floor Like two living things dancing Up to heaven' s front door. You want to be loved But you're not Its like a love shock. It's like a love shock. It's like a love shock. And you want be cool But you're not And no one gives a fuck. But Sarah was a bad girl Bringing all the pain Like a bad thing, flushing Johnny's heart down the drain. So he took her to the abattoir And had his pound of meat. Now all thats left of sarah Is all over the street. How are you meant To make a mark? In somebody's heart Aiming in the dark? Aiming in the dark? Who knows?

Sometimes you got to Ride the Bull, It's all in how you see things. Glass half empty, Now half full, Write your own happy ending. Give yourself a Smiley face, As if it's all OK. Ride the bullshit Out the door, Ride it all the way. Bake yourself a happy cake, Fill it full Of sunshine. Take a trip to happy land, Be happy all The time. Give yourself a Smiley face, If that makes it all OK. Ride the bull right Out the door, Ride it all the way. Now we're thinking positive We can work it out. Now that we're so upbeat There aint no room for doubt. Give yourself a smiley face. Fill it full of sunshine. Ride the bull right out the door Be happy all the time.

Z 03:38
Haven’t had a shit for a week So fed up to the back of my teeth I read that suicide is painful, but brief And may provide some kind of relief. It’s slow going when you’re pretty tired Milk, coffee coloured and expired. Slather moisturiser all over the fire A distraction, pull my teeth out with pliers. Love is all melted and broken Like the back of a van that keeps falling open Like sewage spilling out into the ocean Paralysed and blinded with a single motion. My hair is falling out of my head Every time I scratch, blood all over my bed Living on nothing but bread When I close my eyes, I can see nothing but red.

It's Cool 03:51
Contrails From an airbus a380 in the afternoon. Slowly Forming chemicals Mixing with the water in the sky as it cools. And they're so ugly So ugly that they make me smile With my black teeth, happy and nodding. They're like me. They're so like me that it's cool. It's cool. It's cool. If you don't want me, There's nothing I can do And there's no one I can turn to If you don't need me, There's no one I can be And I guess that's fine with me It's cool. Buildings On the skyline Lights on, even in the evening sun. Sometimes They look like they're melting Like cakes in a urinal. And they're so ugly So ugly that they make me smile With my black teeth, happy and nodding. They're like me. They're so like me that it's cool. It's cool. It's cool.

Spending time out in the garden on the swing chair with Ronan and Paul, spend the evening talking to Ciara about how we're gonna do it all, and life looks like this for a while, but it was never gonna be my style and life looks like this for a while but it ain't never gonna be my style, no. It's like I'm waiting for it to happen, but it's looking like it never will, I feel like I see it coming, on the horizon or over the hill, and life looks like this for a while, but it ain't never gonna be my style, and life looks like this for a while, but it ain't never gonna be my style. And then it does, it comes and I feel like I'm in overdrive, and we break up, the whole band is over and we're all moving on with our lives, and life looked pretty good for a while, but it was never gonna be my style, and life looked pretty good for a while, but it was never gonna be my style, oh no no no, no no no woah, no no no, no no no ohh woah, no no no.
