It Starts Here
03:15

I'm on a one man mission to find integrity in music
Almost every singer starts off with it, but somehow they all lose it
And I don't know why, maybe it's the drugs and money
There's a bitter taste in my mouth, that joke was never funny
It starts here, in the bars, in the streets, in the people
It starts here, if you feel something about anything
Please stand up, please stand up, and make yourself heard
It starts here, and it keeps on going
I'm sick sick sick of all the same old voices going through the same old motions
I've heard it all before, seen it all before, and I'm so tired
And I'm so tired, your dishonesty is boring me, this is really boring me
I've read this book from cover to cover, I know how it ends
It starts here, on the bus, in the shops, in the people
It starts here, if you feel something about anything
Please stand up, please stand up, and make yourself heard
It starts here, and it keeps on going, and it keeps on going
It starts here
Chorus
It starts here, and it keeps on going....

Explain Yourself
02:33
|
|||
Well it started near on six months ago, you started talking in your own code, I cannot decipher, I don't know what you mean now
So speak up, speak up and take a glass from the sink
And start again, start again, start by having another drink
Take another drink, and then say what you mean
Just have another think, and then explain yourself
How can we live in a house where no-one talks to anyone?
Constant baited breath, secrets whispered, never said
These doors are all locked, they've all been slammed shut, been slammed shut
So let's open the windows, and run outside, and run outside
Take another drink, and then say what you mean
Just have another think, and then explain yourself
Explain yourself
How can a house full of people feel so alone?
And at what point does a house become a home?
So speak up, speak up and take a glass from the sink
And start again, start again, start by having another drink

Is It Me?
02:24
|

I'm owe a lot of people a lot of money, and a lot of people lots more
I don't know how I got into this mess, I don't wanna be here anymore
I've been keeping my head down for as long as I could
My life's been moving on without me, I should have known that it would
Another morning, I wake up from the same nightmare
I was back in my old school again, and you were there
You were there
Can someone tell me please
Is it the alcohol singing this song or is it me?
Will someone tell me please
Is it the alcohol singing this song, or is it me?
All I know, I've got one pair of boots and one pair of jeans
Yes of course it's naive, but I wear my heart on my sleeve
I've been keeping my head down for as long as I could
My life's been moving on without me, I should have known that it would
Can someone tell me please
Is it the alcohol singing this song or is it me?
Will someone tell me please
Is it the alcohol singing this song, or is it me?
Is it the alcohol killing this song, or is it me?
Or is it me?

You're Losing It
02:34
|
|||
I'll give you five for a tenner, and you'll lose your mind for free
We'll swagger onto the dancefloor, another Saturday night casualty
Don't worry, you look fine, we look just wonderful
Just forget why we came here, and leave your dignity at the door
Take one look at yourself, you're losing it
Take one good look at yourself, you're losing it
You're down at heel, you've been spat out, tossed out, and turned around
You're too old for this, ha!, too young for this, it's an old man's game, and you're losing
Take one look at yourself, you're losing it,
You're losing it now
Take one good look at yourself, you're losing it
And you're losing oh so badly, oh so terribly
They're forty years too late, and you're forty years too early
And haven't we been here before?
I'm sure we had this conversation just last week
But don't worry about it right now
Just lose yourself to the beat
Take one look at yourself, you're losing it
You've lost it

Let's Go Somewhere
03:55
|
|||
I'm so sick of feeling tired, and I'm so tired of feeling sick
I've given up giving up, another flimsy excuse
So won't you take the day off work and we can go somewhere?
You know you work too hard, you work too hard you know
You see I haven't much to offer you but what I have got I will give
I don't know when my next wage is coming in, and that's no way to live
So let's go, let's go somewhere
It seems my friends and I had a race to see who'd be destroyed first
But when we reached the finish line together, nobody won
This booze and drug culture is bringing me down, self destruction is not rebellion; nobody won
You see I haven't much to offer you, but what I have got I will give
I don't know where my next wage is coming from, and that's no way to live
So let's go, let's go somewhere
Anywhere you want to go, I'll be right there with you
Anywhere you want to go, I'll be right there by your side
Anywhere you want to go, I will be there
So let's go somewhere
Verse 1
Chorus
