1.Outside Inside
作詞:Mike Skinner
作曲:Mike Skinner
wake up and smell the coffee
stirring a word the conversation obsurd
like the herbs of work their pattiences and concured
wake up and smell the coffee
light up and dwell the offerings
drink with a thinking pinch
sit with a kitchen sink
the world is outside but inside warm
inside informal outside stormy inside normal
back to the time skip it on its bullocks
rome to the oven turn it off its on
skin a racket fag im gone
what are we waiting for mate
lets wait to the place
cause its all a bit late
and were all in a bit of a state
weed makes me not want to be in new places fight it!
stare at the same tv watching the torrent like it
the world is outside but inside warm
inside informal outside stormy inside normal
the fossil-ed remains of locked of ancient ways
are buried or lost in every of my mates brains
but i cant find it because they like blazing
solving that problem brings priests and doctors and poets maybe
and hot overclocked brains
im not over shocked blotto or of my rock place
i got their at lunchtime
i was still their at 8
next they were turning chairs onto the table at my place
psychedelic cycle get it?
ride all wet
arrive a bit sketch
but i like bedding
the world is outside but inside warm
inside informal outside stormy inside normal
the world is outside but inside warm
inside informal outside stormy inside normal
the fossil-ed remains of locked of ancient ways
are buried or lost in every of my mates brains
but i cant find it because i like blazing!
Solving that problem can be quite amazing
the world is outside but inside warm
inside informal outside stormy inside normal
2.Going Through Hell
作詞:Mike Skinner、Robert Harvey、Ted May
作曲:Mike Skinner、Robert Harvey、Ted May
It's not the size of the dog in the fight,
But the fight and the dog!
Let's surprise and take a..
And if you get a knife from behind there,
.. any funny!
Do it, do it!
I won't say a word till I.. in your shoes..
Very nice new shoes!
Do it, do it!
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
Keep going!
Fall down five times,
Rise up six!
Keep the good news,
By all means,
The main streets are in a fight to win..
This is right and both sides win!
Yeah! What's the name..
Round the ring around your finger
And build the ring around to bring it, bring it!
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
Keep going!
If you can't join them, beat them!
If you want,.. be friends!
The joy of the fight is the fight and the boy
I'm making this up now finding a point.
Is he even comprende,
.. is the fun of the thing,
I can't resist anything,
For temptation..
I'm finding myself!
In here is only ordinary,
Is the hero among the ordinarily.
You have nothing to lose but your chains,
So we might..
And yet might be..
Or a..
Do it!
Do it!
At the end of the tunnel, there is always light,
It just might be a train.
Is it?
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
If you're going through hell!
Keep going!
3.Roof Of Your Car
作詞:Chris Brown、Mike Skinner、Wayne Bennett
作曲:Chris Brown、Mike Skinner、Wayne Bennett
Gaze up to the skies
Truth you've open up my eye(eyes)
One day they're gonna make electrical implants in the
brain that simulate raving type sensations away
I just can't imagine living without things we live with,
can't imagine not knowing what science has learned
One day they'll lie on the roof of their rides,
thinking we're as stupid as we think of people before this time
We make pains to stay sane but waste days on games,
Online against some fucking whining little child
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
Gaze up to the skies
Truth you've open up my eye(eyes)
The things you think of when you're drinking on a bonnet
Like how war telepathic headsets inview getting on it
Imagine a girl at work gave you her number she wanted to flirt,
but all thoughts to her mind are blocked until she gets off
after work
Die young stay pretty,
try once try living
But don't fade me up son, to the maid I love
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
Gaze up to the skies
Truth you've open up my eye(eyes)
So remind me what I said when you find me in bed
Which I even on death lying up many men
May I be laid out clean
May my beats fade me green
May I lie I may obscene
Maybe I Maybelline
Don't paint me black man
Blame the sat-nav
My way was mad man, but we made it back
on the roof of your car at the stars
on the roof of your car at the stars
on the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
On the brink of a list of insistings with a fist
One blink and that kiss
Is a sinking bliss
Hats off all you
have a blast on full view
Things written on my wrist
So I might think after I'm pissed
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
On the roof of your car at the stars
Through to the star
Gaze up to the skies
Truth you've open up my eye(eyes)
4.Puzzled By People
作詞:Mike Skinner、Ted May
作曲:Mike Skinner、Ted May
Love is the answer.
I'm pretty good at puzzles but puzzled by people
and I don't trouble trouble and trouble don't trouble me.
Stare at the paper, fold it in two
facing the walls are the soles of my shoes.
Sometimes you have to find out for yourself.
Sometimes you need to be told.
Sometimes you never find the answer.
We never had a crossword(crossed word)
My words got lost and you never heard
I'm too down you're one across the room
Beginning with I and ending in U
beginning in my eye and ending as an X
leaves a bad taste in my mouth
To think of you again like the bad taste leaking from the ink in
my pen
doodle at the side as I do to life
choosing to lose time instead of doing what I like
Starts off black and white and lacking in life
until pen in blue lends it a hue.
Puzzled by people
loving isn't easy
you can't google the solutions to people's feelings
Sometimes you have to find out for yourself.
Sometimes you need to be told.
Sometimes you never find the answer.
Chewing on the pen
too down again
not enough letters for the clue in my head
Lost in thought, never been there before
with the turn of a pun on the tip of my tongue
the freshest memory will fail to recall
as well as the messiest, faded scrawl
Love is the answer.
5.Without Thinking
Songwriters:May, Ted; Skinner, Michael Geoffrey
Everybody
I sleep with one eye open, sometimes I might close them
But if immediate action is required, I'm ****ing loaded
I know my exit strategies and I never plan anything
So in fifteen minutes, I can be absolutely anywhere
Within radio contact, for once I'm on point
And the contacts are noisy, we go dark
'Cause life goes pretty slow
If you don't even show up for the show, you might never know
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
All the people in the place
All the people in the place
Any hesitation, anything tying you to the bed where you sleep
You're dead on your feet
There's nothing on my person but money in a shirt
In case any unexpected fun shit should occur
Where I have to think on my feet and plan it on my own
Hand to hand solo or tab it back home
'Cause life goes pretty slow
If you don't even show up for the show, you might never know
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
All the people in the place
All the people in the place
Take time in any new environment to relax
But if fenced in advance, the best defense is attack
Piss-poor planning proceeds any corporate party
Where you don't know you're out out 'til you're shouting
Don't hang back like a bore, bags packed by the door
Rags in a black backpack and the dashed in passport
'Cause life goes pretty slow
If you don't even show up for the show, you might never know
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
All the people in the place
All the people in the place
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
6.Blip On A Screen
作詞:Mike Skinner
作曲:Mike Skinner
Turn on the light
so it burns in the night
turning down the flay
the world is uncertain
I'm certained by the curtains tonight
You will not know but grow
We will not dare, we'll always care and ply with your hair
Got to reverse the pattern
What's the worse that could happen?
For the first time in my adulthood
The worse that could happen
Is utterly unthinkable, sinking unsaid dread
Suddenly I'm worried about the bread under the bed
But then all sort of awful shit seem plausible indoors
Proportions get 'walked' in to the worse, and for certain
You're growing thumbs
I'm growing numb
'totting' to your mom's lips like it might be quite fun
A blip on a screen
You don't know me
I think about you
And what you'll grow to be
Black and white blotches to watch and not get,
and the flashes of sense along with your body and head
It is all as simple as you think when you were little,
It is all as simple as me sinking a little drink
Your growing nails, Mine are so nailed
I'm drinking your mothers wine for both of us today
You don't know choice but you know my voice,
you should never have of chosen me I have love like a boy
The world's so dark sometimes, the noise of the cars
building a world up of toys and stars
A blip on a screen
You don't know me
I think about you
And what you'll grow to be
You'll dance on every song, foot fall every little move,
before you realize that every noise is not music
My dad raised these thoughts, he pastes these boards
I never knew I just grew that's all you can do
but then growing to an adult is just learning the language
of explaining with words what you were as a baby
You'll leisurely learn how to lie and pretend,
to service your love and rely on your friends
this could be fraught but its all I got taught and
I don't wanna make it up as I go along with yours
I fix and I plan
but this is just mad
I love you
You're only a 100 pixels on a scan
7.Those That Don't Know
Songwriters:Harvey, Robert Michael Nelson; Skinner, Michael
Geoffrey
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
From the north to the south, from the east and west
London town is busy at best
With the kicks to the chest and the dips and the crests
(Fall asleep)
Fall asleep past your stop, creeping
Past 11 o clock in the morning, no dawn's ever boring
Sometimes I lie in the bath 'til it's cold
Nothing but a laugh to the front in the back of my soul
I wanna live forever, give my best guess
'Cause that's the best you'll get is a guess, but no less
Smoke in the chest, hold it in, 'til it's in your skin
Inhale this hardly smoke, that's a hardy toke
Flip flops and your shorts or the big dogs on the porch
'Til the night on the scorch, I light like a torch
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
There's those that don't know
(Two stoned)
Those that don't know that they don't know
Hunky dory all evening, at a 140bpm
'Til it's done sort of in the a.m. or you've done talkin' or
it's mayhem
At the cornucopia, doped up, the local shops a mere toe-tap
Vocal in focus on the buying your papers and fire drill
And the brightest shades of milk, we look a mighty shady ilk
Memories of a long lost eon
Millions of stars out there, which one might you be on?
It's like Jupiter's moon in this room get the heat on
I need a stencil to follow my pencil, pensive and sensing
Smoke in your chest, hold it in 'til it's in your skin
Inhale this hardly smoke, that's a hardy toke
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
You know me, I always detest the dawn
The grass always looks like it was left on the lawn
You talk around events and from side of your sight
The Benson burns, it reflects in your eyes
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
8.Soldiers
Songwriters:Harvey, Robert Michael Nelson; Skinner, Michael
Geoffrey
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realize
Eighty thousand people in a state of rowdy fever
There will never be a sequel to this evening
Singing in the rafters, in the wings and over galleys
And then after all the laughing, just a draught
From the wings and over galleys 'til I'm in a lonely alley
If a feeling from my childhood comes to me then I will rally
With all the cloves and all the rose tinted rows that go and
sully
Soak up that moment, woe is the finale
Lonely, I am sinking in and over thinking it
Looking at the goal, only slowly it is shrinking
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day
(Too late)
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realize
The cheapest throwaway shades are my deepest stowaway aid
I'm up with the angels but keep a toe in the trade
Known these folks since I was little but only through this
ritual
It's a pity they don't know me but what is there else than this?
Sweeping and sweeping, the speaking unceasing
From steeple to steeple, the people are shrieking
Soon we parade through the fence, absolutely Dame Judy Dench'd
And then stop, tell them to score and they flop
I don't think I like this, I'm only ever nervous
I'm a fighter, I'm a fighter but tonight I'd like to flight
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day
(Too late)
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realize
The past isn't over, last minute grow
Ask me to show you, ask me to go
Or stab me in the throat
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day
(Too late)
9.We Can Never Be Friends
作詞:Mike Skinner
作曲:Mike Skinner
Saying i love you forever, wont hold us together
A dove and a feather wont better our love
Or recover us ever
But i dont know if i missed you
Or if im blowing this tissue, because i only miss you
Rather than no id not risk you
Thats not a frown i like, how is it now you decide
Ill go to town if i like, be round about 5
Your future lies in you seeing new guys
You'll feel new eyes on you you'll need to lie about this
And me you like wise too.
We can never be friends
One wants to stay together
One wants it to end
We can never be friends
We can make it easy.
Mistake a little, wait for an ache
Mistake loneliness to mean only us
An addiction to a fix of praise
Rely on me to say its ok
There is only room for one in this sun
There was only one of me and you once
And you want to want another few loves
In the night let it fly to the light
All the bits you miss from your ex
Commitment, kissing and sex
Are what you'll insist from the next
Are what you'll insist from the next
But is it who dares wins, or only who knows goes
Frank Brunos nose has seen too many blows
Your bitter then its better to pretend not bicker
Its butters when it festers it fucks all the fun
This is us fizzling
But with added little pangs
We reached the end, you'll never see me again.
We can never be friends
One wants to stay together
One wants it to end
We can never be friends
We can make it easy.
We can never be friends
One wants to stay together
One wants it to end
We can never be friends
We can make it easy.
We can never be friends
One wants to stay together
One wants it to end
We can never be friends
We can make it easy.

作詞:Mike Skinner
作曲:Mike Skinner
Stop for a minute, dont make a move
Like you dont have much to prove
Standing there hands in the air
Like you dont have much to care
A you cant say what you B

To drop with a mellow E
Hell not, never give a F
Never shit a G
Never dinged the H
Why you lieing to my I
DJ be careful with the K
Before everyday blaze L
The condemned will all condem and theM theN remember O
I used to want the P but id rather do not Q

Sit back and sip T

Or ill give you straight V
Single me double you(W)
No stress life from your X
Dont angle to no Y yes
Its only ever the way with your sket from a to Z
Stop for a minute
11.OMG
作詞:Chris Brown、Laura Vane、Mike Skinner、Ted May
作曲:Chris Brown、Laura Vane、Mike Skinner、Ted May
Looked at your status,
'In a relationship',
'In a relationship',
An earthquake hit me(Oi!)
Your status had changed,
You've never worked about this.
Couldn't drag my eye away,
The words on the screen
Nothing set between us but you just weren't that keen,
In a relationship,
Plainheld bettyka.
Got to walk away and... let it go.
Why did you leave it so late to tell me?
Wow a revelation,(Oh oh)
Then I get you, you get me honestly and,
Wow a situation.
Oh my gosh why did you leave it so late to tell me,
Wow a revelation.
Then i get you and you get me on the street and,
Wow a relation.
Looked at your photo, of folks i didn't know,
Folks i hadn't noticed seem close to you now,
We'd been hangin' out a lot,
I'd gathered that would have to stop.
All that build up for me,
All the weeks of us walking past tree after tree,
All the patience and doubt,
The relational maybe..
May as well bow you're in a relationship now.
Why did you leave it so late to tell me?
Wow a revelation.(Oh oh)
Then i get you and you get me honestly ,
and, wow a situation.
Oh my gosh why did you leave it so late to tell me?
Wow a revelation.(Uh oh)
Then i look at you and you look at me on the street and,
Wow a situation.
Looked at your status,
'In a relationship'
'In a relationship'
It devastated me.
Then what did i spy, I punched the f***king sky,
Among the normally ignorable requests at the right,
I'd of never of guessed a request so nice,
Now if you look at my status,
I'm in a relationship too... with you.
Why did you leave it so late to tell me?
Wow, a revelation.(Oh oh)
Then i look at you and you look at me honestly and,
Wow a situation.
I stand corrected i was pushing for the best i guess
i took one look at you and i could fog out the rest
if i've got what it takes, and it won't be wasted on fakes.
I paced myself,
I have faith this time,
I saw something for me,
I felt something right.
Why did you leave it so late to tell me?
Wow a revelation.
Then i look at you and you look at me honestly and,
wow a situation.
Why did you leave it so late to tell me?
Wow a revelation.
Then i look at you and you look at me honestly and,
wow a situation.
12.Trying To Kill M.E.
Songwriters:Bennett, Wayne; Brown, Chris; Skinner, Michael
Geoffrey
I used to love the night and now I dread my bed
Using all the light is how my head got spent
Torturous virus talk to my eyelids, walk in my size nines
Is this depression or a lesson from inner pressure pressing?
Either way, the fevers it deals me are evil
The thing that I love most is trying to kill M.E.
I have the queerest feeling of my dearest appearing
To be leering from the ether, fear more fever
I don't like sleepers, drugs make me sleep
Sleep is like death, to do death when you're dead
Bridge disappears through fog in my ears
For this chronic fatigue, there's no tonic is see***ucid
thinking is loopy to think of on and on weeks
The thing that I love most is trying to kill M.E.
General health making my mental health break
But I'll never let go of what helps me create
Nothing to this point but for this love
Love, torturous virus get out from my eyelids
Just wanna ride out life in the key of C
I won't bash the black notes, I won't ask for answers
Glance up at the banister
The thing that I love most is trying to kill M.E.
The only good thing and I should cling to it good
Are the sparks of good art that park in the darkness
Shaking eyes hate me to write
But make me think up quite nice ideas
It's like me enemy, telling me forget the pen dwelling
The madness and sadness is long
But flashes of mastery
It seems
How many ways will it warm up, 8 months ago fate came
To break me in somewhat and rape me on the flames
The queerest feeling of my dearest appearing
To be leering from the ether, I fear more fever
Like the bridge disappearing through fog in my ears
There's no tonic it seems for this chronic fatigue
I'm happily trading insanity lately
For passion, that makes me a man at least, maybe
The thing that I love most is trying to kill M.E.
The thing that I love most is trying to kill M.E.
What was I thinking, who was I then?
Duly I tried, truly amen
What was I thinking, who was I then?
Duly I tried, truly amen
Pull some paper out the printer, pick up a pen and pen into the
winter
The oldest cell in my body's only 10 years old
With the smell of the kitchen, I dwell on the kissing of my
missus
Holding a bowl and reminiscing
(I am just a child who got a few years older)
Pull some paper out the printer, pick up a pen and pen into the
winter
13.Trust Me
作詞:Mike Skinner
作曲:Mike Skinner
Trust me
Is the skyline sliced up into pieces and broken steel and mesh
Or is the progress of process that's a natural people quest
Metal and the workings, dark and lurking in my mind
Branded neon red and blue flashes
The view from the flats is nice
I see Alice in Wonderland
I see malice in Sunderland
Mouse to house, I am this land
The were without, it's Thumberland
Smoke to a karma coma
Jamaicans do yard and roamers
Shake Bacardi's and Coke and make me laugh and
Trust me
So much stuff and many people
The future is not evil
The future is not fish and it's simple, it's efficient
Now that things are costing nothing
Is any of it good?
Come and love me, read my nothings
Blogging river floods
Dead plant planted on the window ledge
Shadows dance, glint and blend
Glance slow at the night outside
I'm God in the game
Sound rumbles in 5.1 round some corner to fight with guns
Play God in games but nothing in
Trust me
Dub step, club sweat, come get rubbed red
Play the playlist
Play the playlist
I see Alice in Wonderland
I see malice in Sunderland
House to house, I love this land
The were without, it's Thumberland
Do the wrong thing, joke it right
Span the longings and the fights
For all the oil and the toil
And the spoils of the royals
We are nothing if not nice
We are coughing if we are wise
Roll me up like a leafy spliff
Fuck that, roll me up and
Trust me
Why is there so much noise
Reading info, buying toys
We all fear of company
But we are fierce anonymously
Enter shit on the internet
Clashing people, chatting evil
But we are cheery social sorts
With the pleasing photo forward
Pass the love around and back to me
Walking down a madman's street
The music in my ears is fleeting
Struggle to shuffle to the same beat
We are nothing if not nice
We have a pretty buttered knife
Is the skyline sliced up into pieces and broken steel and strife
Anything you tell me
Yes, yes, I will believe
But again and I suspect
Again and I will leave
Slow burn a little heaven
Roaming yearnings for devon
Coburn '67
Don't work for them
Trust me
Dub step, earth run, red club sweat
Put up chests and freeze, freeze
Is the skyline sliced up into pieces and broken steel and mesh
Or is the progress of process that's a natural people quest
14.Lock The Locks
作詞:Chris Brown、Claire Maguire、Mike Skinner
作曲:Chris Brown、Claire Maguire、Mike Skinner
I had a funny dream and I came to screaming
That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mine
And I was with you only it wasn't you
It happened in the past but it was somehow now
It put it into focus, things became clear
I had to plan something I handed in my notice
Even though to most it looked random
My heart had left I was just going in tandem
(I smoked one too many cigarettes
I heard one too many lies
And I've gambled on too many bets
I lost it all too this life)
I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes(...To this life)
Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave
I'll leave one evening be seen off
At a party for my parting in a bar
It starts on the early side and ends in a gutter
With a fumble with a colleague in a car
No more alarm that barks in the dark
With the beeping like darts to the heart
Yes, the maze it does look deep
And days are over for dozing on my cheek
(I smoked one too many cigarettes
I heard one too many lies
And I've gambled on too many bets
I lost it all too this life)
I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes(...To this life)
Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave
Read the funny card signed by all
That was purchased by the person I will always recall
Lock away my labors, steel stationary
A kiss on the lips or a grin in a grip
I had a funny dream and I came to screaming
That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mine
And I was with you only it wasn't you
It happened in the past but it was somehow now
I came to it noon through the tune of a spoon
In a mug in a room, but I knew very soon
That the mug in the room, was the mug yours truly
Because I never stood up for what I wanted to do
(I smoked one too many cigarettes
I heard one too many lies
And I've gambled on too many bets
I lost it all too this life)
I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes(...To this life)
Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave
(I smoked one too many cigarettes
I heard one too many lies
And I've gambled on too many bets
I lost it all too this...
I smoked one too many cigarettes
I heard one too many lies
And I've gambled on too many bets
I lost it all too this life)
I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes(...To this life)
Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave(...To this life)
