I’m sorry to say I’m not the friendly face you’ve been looking for
And I can see you thinking about making a move and running out the door
But I’m the monster from under your bed
The nightmare from the back of your head
And I’m afraid to say you’ll be afraid to see you’re what I’m hunting for
Oh, you know, when the lights go out then nobody is safe from me
In the darkness I am not the same
Oh, you know, when the lights go out then nobody is safe from me,
In the darkness I am not the same
Not the same
Did you see me crawling ‘cross the walls from the corner of your eye?
And when I breathe on the back of your neck will it take you by surprise?
Will you suffocate before you can scream?
Did you see this in your wildest dreams?
That when the morning comes oh no you wont be there to see the sunrise.
Chorus
(Instrumental)
Chorus
Not the same

Jaded
04:08
|

|
Sorry that your dreams are shattered, but that doesn’t give you the right
Where’d you get the audacity to tell me what I can do with my life?
Jealousy and spite filling your brain creates the negativity you spew
So you like me better when I’m failing, is our success a threat to you?
You’re self obsessed, self absorbed, self obsessed
But you’re never going to see it ‘till we’re walking out the door
You’re self obsessed, self absorbed, self obsessed
And bringing people down wont get you want you’re aiming for
Don’t project your insecurities onto my life, its not my problem if you think I cant win
You’re just jaded and jealous and bitter, and its time you take a look within
So you can call me naïve and a dreamer, and you can label me whatever you choose
‘Cus you like me better when I’m failing, is our success a threat to you?
Chorus
You try to drag us all down with you, you cant bare to see others succeed
And does watching us go on without you, really bring you to your knees?
So would it kill you to keep your mouth shut, and stop insisting that we’re all going to loose?
I know you like me better when I’m failing, I know our success is a threat to you.
Chorus

Fight To Survive
02:20
|
|||
|
Welcome everybody to the end of days, the clock is counting down from ten,
There’s nothing left to do but make a great escape, from the nightmares you cant comprehend.
There’s nowhere left to shelter nowhere left to hide, every way you turn is a dead end,
You’ve got to get yourself together ‘cus its do or die, it’s time to start running again.
You’ve got to run for your life (run for your life) x3
Then its time to start running again
Devastation, devastation, devastation,
The apocalypse in in our time
Self preservation, preservation, preservation,
Gotta try to make it out alive
X2
The night is drawing closer and the cold’s creeping in, and there’s not another soul in sight,
You know your days are numbered there’s no way you can win, but you won’t give up without a fight
Not a building left standing nowhere to call home, so you’re out to find a brand new start,
The rats reclaimed the streets, at least your not alone, ‘cus your friends have all been torn apart.
You’ve got to fight to survive (fight to survive) x3
Then you’ve got to start fighting again
Chorus X2
Gotta try to make it out alive

Washing Machine
01:07
|

|
I wake up in the morning when the suns going down
I have a little shower in my dressing gown
Got my socks in the toaster and my shoes in the pan
My dog is in the washing machine
He always turns out dead but at least he’s clean!
I’m sitting on a swing and I’m spinning ‘round
There’s lots of angry dogs staring at me now
They know what I did to my pet dog Chow
I put him in the washing machine
He always turns out dead but at least he’s clean!
I wake up in the morning when the suns going down
I have a little shower in my dressing gown
Got my socks in the toaster and my shoes in the pan
My dog is in the washing machine
He always turns out dead but at least he’s clean!

Anxiety Society
03:29
|
|||
|
Is this anxiety, or just society, that makes me feel like I can’t answer the phone?
Am I the enemy, or paranoid again? Sometimes I’m sure that all my friends are long gone.
Is life just not a wait, for the next twist of fate? I’m sure that everything that can will go wrong.
Is this anxiety, or just society, that makes me feel like I can’t step out the door?
Chorus
Anxiety levels are rising now
Got to go on but I don’t know how
Anxiety levels are rising now
Got to go on but I don’t know how
Is this anxiety, or just society, that’s got me feeling like I’m climbing the walls?
Why do I lie awake, obsess all night and day, about where I will be a decade to come?
All the uncertainty, that’s living in my brain, has got me stuttering and shaking all over.
Is this anxiety, or just society, why can’t the world outside just leave me alone?
Chorus
Is this anxiety, or just society, that makes me feel like it’s the end of the world?
The news is full of fear, more tragedy and tears
If this is life then just how do we go on?
Days of panic attacks, feel like I’m gonna crack, cant catch my breath I know that it’s taking over,
Is this anxiety, or just society, because it looks like any hope is long gone.
Chorus

Chance
03:04
|

|
In the beginning you had nothing but you had no doubt, that one day you’d touch the sun and show what you're all about.
Oh your friends they had your back for all the highs and lows, and they picked you up when you had nowhere else to go.
Then one day you had your chance and all your dreams came true, you got the job, the house, the car, the endless riches too.
But don’t forget to look back, ‘cus if it all falls apart, you’ll have nowhere else to turn, but to go back to the start.
Now you’re on top of the world with your white picket fence, with that one chance came opportunities that had no end.
But you know money can’t buy you love loyalty or friends, and will the people you’re surrounded with be there in the end?
So if you’re feeling lost and lonely just go back to the start, the place that might not have much money but it has your heart.
Don’t lose touch with the things that made you who you are, and when you’re new world gets too much for you just run to your car.
If you’re on top of the world, don’t let it go to your head, avoid the rumours and the gossip that’s best left unsaid.
Don’t get involved with the popularity contests, if they all love you then youre just not standing up for yourself
Choose a few close friends or feel alone in the crowd, when the sucsess and the attention finally dies down.
The ones you meet at the top don’t really know who you’ve been, its time to go back to a place where you’ll finally feel seen.
Did you forget where you came from and leave you’re friends behind? Did you lose your inhibitions and think they’re not your kind?
Did your ego get the best of you and take control? When you made it to the top did you sell your soul?
It’s time to retrace your steps, time to undo whats been done, and hope its not too late to be that old someone.
You cant ignore the world where you really belong, so make amends with the past that you’ve been running from.

I F**king Hate Ska
02:24
|
|||
|
Comes to a gig and he stands at the back
Trying his best not to let a smile crack
He’s shaking his head but he’s tapping his foot
Fighting the beat and trying not to look
Pretends its an accident he’s at the show
And hoping he doesn’t see people he knows
Ska albums hidden in the front of his car
‘cus if you ask him he’ll say ‘I fucking hate ska
Chorus
I fucking hate ska (x2)
But he’s there at the bar
And he fucking hates ska
When the upstrokes start up he rises to his feet
And says real punk music shouldn’t be so upbeat
But when the Specials come on he’s right there from the start
‘cus his guilty pleasure has a two tone heart
At a gig won’t be seen at the front of the crowd
And tries not to applaud when the band takes a bow
If you make conversation while he’s sat at the bar
He’ll keep on insisting he fucking hates ska
Chorus
No boots or braces or trilby’s for him
‘cus listening to ska is his new deadly sin
Likes his music heavy says the treble just hurts
But I see him eyeing up all of our merch
He’ll never admit that when he gets back home
He’ll be blasting our music through his headphones
He drives hours to ska gigs both near and afar
But he’ll keep on insisting he fucking hates ska
Chorus
I fucking hate ska x4

Worms
01:54
|

|
I want to be with the worms
Tunnelled away out of sight
No worries in their small brains
No eyes to see the sunlight
Photoreceptor dense skin
To tell them day and night
No need for arms or legs
Because worms never fight
CHORUS
Earthworms partying below our feet
They can feel the beat
Creatures partying below our feet
I wish I could meet
They use our garden waste
To make the world go round
At night they’re still awake
But they don’t make a sound
Tunneling through the earth
Look what the worms have found
A feast for all their friends
Lying beneath the ground
CHORUS
I want to be with the worms
Safe from society
Cus’ buried deep in the ground
Would finally set me free
Dark tunnels deep below
Is where I want to be
No more crowded streets
No more anxiety
CHORUS

Dinner Date
02:41
|
|||
|
You see her staring from across the room and you’ve not seen her ‘round here before
She’ll give you a smile and she’ll take your hand and you’ll follow her out of the door
In the street you turn and ask her ‘what’s the plan?’ and she whispers it’s a surprise
But you’ll be wrong to think that you’ll be taking her home, because tonight she’s gonna eat you alive.
Chorus
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t smile, don’t take her hand
Don’t look, don’t look, ‘cus tonight this girl’s got dinner plans
X2
She’ll lead you out towards the city’s edge where the streets end and forest starts
You tell her it’s been fun but it’s time to leave, she said don’t go you’ll break my heart
You know better than to follow her deep into the woods but you can’t resist the look in her eyes
So now she’s got you where she wants you and when she takes a bite, there’ll be no one there to hear your cries
Chorus X2
Now you’re bleeding and you’re crawling ‘cross the forest floor, should of known this girls too good to be true
All you wanted was a dinner date and bite to eat, but now the object on the menu is you.
She said she’s just so hungry and a girls gotta eat, be a darling and don’t put up a fight
And now you’ll never be seen or heard from again, she’s in another town tomorrow night.
Chorus X2

King Of The Streets
03:30
|
|||
|
Strutting through town no care in the world, chest puffed out early bird gets the worm.
Some try to kick him, to scare him away, but if you’re not careful he’ll ruin your day!
They’re rats with wings, he’s vermin, he’s a pest, but not this pigeon he knows he’s the best,
The city’s his kingdom, he owns the streets, with every stretch of his wings and scratch of his feet.
Chorus
He’s king of the streets, king of the streets
All bow down to the king of the streets
He’s king of the streets, king of the streets,
There’s claws and beaks on the king of the streets
X2
Rats out on the street, the sun goes down, scrabbling and scratching he’s the talk of the town!
Long pink tail, thick brown fur, a rat on a mission to find what he deserves.
Screams of disgust wherever he goes, but this rat is special and you bet he knows.
Eyes wide open, whiskers alert, if you could only meet him you’d be sure to convert.
Chorus X2
When the city’s quiet, and everyone’s asleep, there’s a royal parade in the empty streets.
Rats and birds, foxes and strays, celebrate the kings of the night and day.
The buildings and pavements don’t belong to man, it’s home to the vermin the unwanted clan,
So peek out your window and flash a grin, you’ll see the parade and you’ll know who’s king!
Chorus X2

Unbreakable Friend
02:41
|
|||
|
He’s our unbreakable friend
He’ll be there right ‘till the end
When the stars fall from the sky
He’s our invincible guy
When the night comes to an end, he’s already on the mend
He’s our unbreakable friend
No trouble out on the street
He always lands on his feet
Nothing keeps him down for long
He’ll be back by the next song
No need to worry or fear, you know he will reappear
He’s our unbreakable friend.
When you think he’s had too much
The night begins to get rough
He’ll always wake up unharmed
Oh its just part of his charm
He’s there to rise with the sun, he won’t miss out on the fun
He’s our unbreakable friend
Find him passed out on the floor
Then find him drinking some more
Too much is never too much
Another round is a must
Each time you think that he’s dead, he’ll simply lift up his head
He’s our unbreakable friend
He’s our unbreakable friend
He’ll be there right ‘till the end
When the stars fall from the sky
He’s our invincible guy
When the night comes to an end, he’s already on the mend
He’s our unbreakable friend
When the night comes to an end, he’s already on the mend
He’s our unbreakable friend
He’s our unbreakable friend
He’ll be there right ‘till the end
When the stars fall from the sky
He’s our invincible guy
When the night comes to an end, he’s already on the mend
He’s our unbreakable friend
He’s our unbreakable friend
He’ll be there right ‘till the end
When the stars fall from the sky
He’s our invincible guy
When the night comes to an end, he’s already on the mend
He’s our unbreakable friend
When the night comes to an end, he’s already on the mend
He’s our unbreakable friend
When the night comes to an end, he’s already on the mend
He’s our unbreakable friend
