1.Moneybox
Instead of going out to dinner tonight
We can grow vegetables
Underneath the skylight
Clicking these downloads everyday has its price
We can lounge on our couch
And listen to our 45s
So take your Dollar
Your Yen
Those Euros I can't spend
I won't get down with no pounds
Never need to leave this house
Don't need a moneybox
Cos I got lots and lots
Of what I need right here
Right here with you my dear
Don't need a cash machine
To make our days happy
So do me a favour
Don't jingle your change Sir
Instead of going to the movies tonight
There's no shame in us playing
Dust of that Sega Mega Drive
Hand me your trousers
You got holes in your knees
It's no fuss patch them up
Forget about that shopping spree
So take your Dollar
Your Francs
Your Rupees no thanks
I won't get down with no pounds
Never need to leave this house
Don't need a moneybox
Cos I got lots and lots
Of what I need right here
Right here with you my dear
Don't need a cash machine
To make our days happy
So do me a favour
Don't jingle your change Sir
Lock up your moneybox
It's not much of a loss
All that gold just goes to waste
Cos you're worth more anyway
No need to travel round London tonight
We can play Monopoly
Buy Mayfair in our own time
So take your Dollar
Your Buck
I couldn't give a penny
That's enough leave it out
Never need to leave this house
Don't need a moneybox
Cos I got lots and lots
Of what I need right here
Right here with you
I know I know I don't need a cash machine
To make our days happy
So do me a favour
Don't jingle your change Sir
Don't need a moneybox
Cos I got lots and lots
Of what I need right here
Right here with you
I know I know I don't need a cash machine
To make our days happy
So do me a favour
Don't jingle your change Sir
So do me a favour
Don't jingle your change Sir
Loobee loobee loobee loo
2.Rollerblades
I know you say you're ready to change
but I need to get it down on paper
It's in your face you're ready to blame
the first guy in line to catch the train
I'll save your seat,
'cause you don't stand for what you preach.
See you with a broken string tell me what you really mean,
do you know what you want
While beating up on yesterday,
I was on my rollerblades
Rolling on moving on
It's time to take the time to create cause
you're running late the doors are closing
So tip your hat & you might get back whatever
you need is up ahead this train won't stop for anybody to get
off
See you with a broken string tell me what you really mean,
do you know what you want
While beating up on yesterday,
I was on my rollerblades
Rolling on moving on
See you with a broken string tell me what you really mean
Do you know what you want..
Do you know, oh no
We got to run with it, it will get better and
that leaves we're stuck together make your mind up
Know what you need to say before you shout at me
So take your seat 'cause standing only wears out feet
See you with a broken string tell me what you really mean,
do you know what you want
You're beating up on yesterday,
I was on my rollerblades Rolling on, moving on
See you with a broken string tell me what you really mean,
do you know what you want
Beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades,
rolling on moving on
Do you know what you want.
3.Go Home
Peepin' out the door
I see those choppers are flying
Wonderin' what they're doin'
If they're lookin' for a girl with curly hair
Turnin' up the music
Just to block out the sirens
Dance a little harder
Dance a little harder, dance a little harder
Maybe I'll try to escape
I just want to go home
(I just want to go home)
Unlock these handcuffs and let me go
(Let me go)
I don't know what I've done to you
(Done to you)
I'm not naughty, I tell the truth
(Tell the truth)
Scared of what I don't know
(Scared of what I don't know)
I just want to go
Slidin' up the rail
Up till the top of the staircase
Never gonna happen
Not the way we're actin', not in a million years
Something's always wrong
And everybody's a head case
So I'll just dance a little harder
Dance a little harder, dance a little harder
Tell them I can be good
I just want to go home
(I just want to go home)
Unlock these handcuffs and let me go
(Let me go)
I don't know what I've done to you
(Done to you)
I'm not naughty, I tell the truth
(Tell the truth)
Scared of what I don't know
(Scared of what I don't know)
I just want to go home
I just wanna go home
Put my dancing shoes
Put my dancing shoes on
I'll cha-cha-cha
I'll cha-cha-cha my way home
I won't stop til I'm
Goin' through my front door
I just wanna go home
(I just wanna go home)
Unlock these handcuffs and let me go
(Let me go)
I don't know what I've done to you
(Done to you)
I'm not naughty, I tell the truth
(Tell the truth)
Scared of what I don't know
(Scared of what I don't know)
I just want to go home
Cha-cha-cha
4.Skinny Genes
I really don't like your point of view
I know you'll never change
Stinging me with your attitude
I've got the mind to walk away
I really don't like your arrogance
Or your policies
You're ninety-nine percent an embarrassment
With just one quality
I don't mind it when you(whistles)
Brings out the best in me when you(whistles)
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you wind up next to me
I like it when you(whistles)
Can I have some please of that(whistles)
Satisfy my needs
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you wind up next to me
I really don't like your skinny jeans
So take them off for me
Show me what you've got underneath
So we can do this properly
I really don't like the way you smile
When you think you're right
But I will forgive you, the yolk is in the middle
And we're chewing through the wire
I don't mind it when you(whistles)
Brings out the best in me when you(whistles)
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you wind up next to me
I like it when you(whistles)
Can I have some please of that(whistles)
Satisfy my needs
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you wind up next to me
I dreamt that you were on a train
And you were leaving, you were leaving
Made me think of what I'd miss
Do you believe it, you believe it
I don't mind it when you(whistles)
Brings out the best in me when you(whistles)
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you wind up next to me
I like it when you(whistles)
Can I have some please of that(whistles)
Take off your skinny jeans
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you wind up next to me
I dreamed that you were on a train
And you were leaving, you were leaving
5.Mr Medicine
Oh, Mr Medicine
I'm so happy you came here
You went from everyman
To everymans' savior
From the Arctic to Everest
We're all looking for change Sir
More doors will start to open
This cycle has now been broken
First job when you get up
There's a pile of dirty laundry
I know you'll clean it up
You're the man to do it for me
I trust your judgment
I like the things you say
It's common sense
I could take three times a day
Oh, Mr Medicine
I will take anything
What do you recommend?
Oh, Mr Medicine
I need my vitamins
Will I feel better then?
Oh, Mr Medicine
I feel so much better
My friend's a pessimist
But you still impress her
If you need evidence
Then I'll write you a letter
I'll lick the stamp and post it
Just so that you can notice
First job when you get up
There's a pile of dirty laundry
I know you'll clean it up
You're the man to do it for me
And then I saw
That the patient has improved
To call in sick
Has become a lame excuse
Oh, Mr Medicine
I will take anything
What do you recommend?
Oh, Mr Medicine
I need my vitamins
Will I feel better then?
This untidy table's turning
You used the best detergent
Now it's shiny, it's not dirty
And we know that you can work it
Oh, Mr Medicine
(Oh, Mr Medicine)
Oh, Mr Medicine
(Oh, Mr Medicine)
Oh, Mr Medicine
I will take anything
What do you recommend?
Oh, Mr Medicine
I need my vitamins
Will I feel better then?
Oh, Mr Medicine, oh, Mr Medicine
Oh, Mr Medicine, oh, Mr Medicine
Oh, Mr Medicine, oh, Mr Medicine
Oh, Mr Medicine, oh, Mr Medicine
Oh, Mr Medicine
I will take anything
What do you recommend?(hey)
Oh, Mr Medicine
I need my vitamins
Will I feel better then?
6.Missing
Shu-doo-doo-doo
Dam-dam, dam-du-dam, doo-bee-doo
Dam-dam, dam-du-dam, doo-bee-doo
Dam-dam, dam-du-dam, doo-bee-doo
Dam-dam, dam-du-dam, doo-bee-doo
I am Doolittle but I do a lot
I try to do the best with what I've got
Sometimes nobody notices at all
If I stood on a chair, I'd be taller
I know there's a million people like me
I'm sure a kick up the bum's all we need
We plan but it never comes true
All I need is somebody like you
Because I'm missing how you found me
I can't afford a bigger world but, baby, I'm reliable
I'll never go
If you find me, find me, find me, find me
Because I'm missing how you found me
If anybody has a key to spare a little dream for me
I'll let it be
That you find me, find me, finally found me
When I fall nobody helps me up
And when I call nobody's pickin' up the phone
It seems they won't even call me upon
Stickin' my face on a lamppost
So if you see me in your favorite spot
Just remember I could give you a lot
'Cause I stray in whatever I do
All I need is somebody like you
Because I'm missing how you found me
I can't afford a bigger world but, baby, I'm reliable
I'll never go
If you find me, find me, find me, find me
Because I'm missing how you found me
If anybody has a key to spare a little dream for me
I'll let it be
That you find me, find me, finally found me
I gotta get up
I gotta get up
I gotta get up
I gotta get up
So when you see me in your favorite spot
Just remember I could give you a lot
I came to see you when there's no use pretendin'
Let's hope it's a happier ending
Because I'm missing, yeah, you'll find me
I can't afford a bigger world but, baby, I'm reliable
I'll never go
If you find me, find me, find me, find me
Because I'm missing and you'll find me
If anybody has a key to spare a little dream for me
I'll let it be
That you finally, finally, finally found me
Dam-dam, dam-du-dam, doo-bee-doo
Dam-dam, dam-du-dam, doo-bee-doo

7.Back To Front
If I woke up in the mornin'
And the world was back to front
There was sunshine in the evenin'
And the moon came out for lunch
I wouldn't mind walkin' backwards with you
At least we'd always know where we'd be goin' to
We could talk till we forget how to talk
And we could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
If everyone was gettin' young
There'd be a smile on your face
If all the friends that passed away
Came back to this place
We'd be puttin' down the daisies
Drinkin' milk and feelin' lazy
There's no sense in any senses
What's the use in independence?
We could play of the tears that came
We could walk till we forget how to walk
And cool till we forget anything at all
And we would laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
We could learn to look right
Into each others eyes
'Cause we got nothin' to hide
We got nothin' but to laugh again
Like when we were children
Like when we were children
Back to front, front to back
Will you come backwards with me
Backwards with me?
Front to back, back to front
Will you come backwards with me
Backwards with me?
We could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
We could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to smile again
Like nobody is watchin'
Backwards with me
8.A Smokey Room
You got your hair in a do
Yea 'cause that's so original
You got your Gucci bag too
Yea 'cause that's so original
Have you forgot yourself lately
I guess it don't matter if you got the right shades on
You got your hair in a do
Yea 'cause that's so original
Yea 'cause that's so original
Yea 'cause that's so original
You do the robot you do
Now everybody's going digital
But if you must know the truth
It's really not original
Have you forgotten your babies?
You really must remember not to leave them at the neighbors
You got your hair in a do
Yea 'cause that's so original
Yea cause that's so original
Yea cause that's so original
Underneath that skin you got to learn to let it in
Underneath that skin you got to learn to let it in
Yea 'cause that's so original
Yea 'cause that's so original
Yea 'cause that's so original
Yea 'cause that's so original
9.So High
Time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes
In the alley-way feeling peaceful now,
Traffic doesn't ever bother me,
It's enough for me,
Living in my dreams,
I just can't be bothered,
Why should I be bothered?
My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes
On a sunny day,
Sit and contemplate,
All the things that really matter now,
It hurts to hear that you're doing good,
I just can't be bothered,
Why should I be bothered?
I know the truth
Gotta let you go
Gotta put you out
You've become a foe
My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes
My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes
10.Nobody
I could be A, I could be C
Multiple choice I don't want to be
All the above don't fit in with me
Not with me
'Cause nobody cares and nobody loves
That somebody does what nobody does
And everyone follows them just because
Of the bus
I'm gonna be what I want
Instead of being what I'm not
Maybe it's not enough
Then I want none of it
What's wrong with bein' a nobody?
That nobody knows and has nobodies
And I should know 'cause I am one of these
Happy to blend and I really am honestly
The whole world's tryin' to be somebody
Kickin' themselves 'bout what could've been
What's wrong with bein' a nobody?
I'm not pretendin' I am what I'll never be
I walk in a lake, walk up the wall
I'm no Messiah, I'm nothin' at all
Compared to the greatest people I see
I'm just me
Am I makin' a change, I don't have a clue
Maybe I can't 'cause I love what I do
Isn't a sign just fittin' somewhere else?
To a tune
I'm gonna be what I want
Instead of being what I'm not
Maybe it's not enough
Then I want none of it
What's wrong with bein' a nobody?
That nobody knows and has nobodies
And I should know 'cause I am one of these
Happy to blend and I really am honestly
The whole world is tryin' to be somebody
Kickin' themselves 'bout what could've been
What's wrong with bein' a nobody?
I'm not pretendin' I am what I'll never be
I'm gonna be what I want
I'm just playin' a part
And what my character does
Is not important, it just is
What it is, is what it is
Tu-tu, tu-tu-tu
Tu-tu-tu
Tu-tu-tu
Tu-tu-tu
What's wrong with bein' a nobody?
That nobody knows and has nobodies
And I should know 'cause I am one of these
Happy to blend and I really am honestly
The whole world is tryin' to be somebody
(What kind of nobody are you?)
Kickin' themselves 'bout what could've been
(What kind of nobody are you?)
What's wrong with bein' a nobody?
(What kind of nobody are you?)
I'm not pretendin' I am what I'll never be
What's wrong with bein' a nobody?
(What kind of nobody are you?)
That nobody knows and has nobodies
(What kind of nobody are you?)
And I should know 'cause I am one of these
(What kind of nobody are you?)
Happy to blend and I really am
11.Pack Up
I get tired and upset
And I'm trying to care a little less
When I google I only get depressed
I was taught to dodge those issues I was told
Don't worry
Cos no doubt
There's always something to cry about
And when your stuck in an angry crowd
They don't think what they say before they open their mouth
You gotta
Pack Up your troubles in your old kit bag
and bury them beneath the sea
I don't care what the people may say
what the people may say about me
Pack Up your troubles get your old grin back
don't worry bout the cavalry
I don't care what the whisperers say
cos they whisper too loud for me
Hot topic
Maybe I should drop it
It's a touchy subject
And I like to tiptoe round the ship going down
You got pennies but no pounds
So if your business is running out
It's not business to talk about
But they don't think what they say before they open their mouth
You gotta
Pack Up your troubles in your old kit bag
and bury them beneath the sea
I don't care what the people may say
what the people may say about me
Pack Up your troubles get your old grin back
don't worry bout the cavalry
I don't care what the whisperers say
cos they whisper too loud for me
Tweet Tweet Tweet Tweet Tweet
Pack Up your troubles in your old kit bag
and bury them beneath the sea
I don't care what the people may say
what the people may say about me
Pack Up your troubles get your old grin back
don't worry about the cavalry
I don't care what the whisperers say
cos they whisper too loud for me
Yeah
Pack up Pack Up Pack Up Pack Up
12.Police Car
Banging on my tambourine,
I didn't think i'd make a scene
Until everyone joined in the chase,
I never meant to make you cry,
My head was floating in the sky,
And nothing looked to be out of place
I've got my head like a cello,
Melancholy bows,
If it goes, keep it mellow, baby,
Should I pay attention to the alarm,
The sirens going off in a police car
I forget, I forget to be cool, cool, cool
I try my best to not get arrested by you, you, you
I thought that I could plinky-plonk
Along the piano wall I wanted,
Didn't think you'd hear a wrong note,
I'm like a pencil load and blunt,
And writing in a ?bode? a font,
And i'm steady losing your boat
And I forget, I forget to be cool, cool, cool
I try my best to not get arrested by you, you, you
I've got my head like a cello,
Melancholy bows,
If it goes, keep it mellow, baby,
Should I pay attention to the alarm,
The sirens going off in a police car
And I forget, I forget to be cool, cool, cool
I try my best to not get arrested by you, you, you
I forget, I forget to be cool, cool, cool
I try my best to not get arrested by you, you, you
13.Empty Hand
I don't have the reflection,
Of anybody checking their face,
In the shade of my glasses,
One way ticket on the fast train,
And I'm solo all the way.
I could maybe read a novel,
To push away the trouble,
That sits in the pit of my tummy,
But I know that it will find me,
When I finish the last page.
An empty hand I wave goodbye,
I feel a tickle in my eye.
No I'll never, sever any time,
Tired of the journey,
No hand held in mine,
No I'll never, sever any time,
Tired of the journey,
No hand held in mine.
Will I always feel it more,
On a day when there's a storm,
Or a raincloud, so dangerous and lonely,
No one ever told me,
That the darkness is my fault.
And I'm looking out the window,
And losing both my dimples,
As they enter the ends of my smile,
'Cause I am a thousand miles,
From the place I need to go.
And empty hand I wave goodbye,
I feel a tickle in my eye.
No I'll never, sever any time,
Tired of the journey,
No hand held in mine,
No I'll never, sever any time,
Tired of the journey,
No hand held in mine.
