She said I’m trying for Pete’s sake I said well how long will it take To get through to you To get over you She said you give a little and you take a little But you give a little and you take everything You take over me You take all of me

Red Symons 02:44
My nose and throat feel like they are filled with sand That means it’s about the end of September again And there are Aussie bands overseas and the football is finished So there is nothing to watch on the weekends And my weeks end with getting drunk off thirty bucks Sitting at home out the front smoking darts Watching the old blokes drive home after they’ve had too much You can tell by the way they stumble through the car park (selfish cunts) And in my apocalyptic nightmare Red Symons was there He said ‘When you make it to the afterlife don’t ever feel scared All the questions that you have you’ll find all your answers’ And I thought what the fuck are you doing here?! And at the engagement again Nan made it up the stairs She said ‘Thanks for the chance for me to do this again’ And on the walk home the ocean filled up to our necks All I could do was reach out and grab for your hands And sometimes you say my hair’s dead and I need a haircut Sometimes you say what I say isn’t enough Sometimes it feels like I could die With the lump in my throat that won’t ever subside Every time I lay awake and listen to you cry I’m just the piece of shit you happened to step in So go on and on and make me feel like it The Preston Car Thief has struck again I still haven’t read the book your Dad gave me And I try and try to meet all her desires Cause she wants me to be tender, but I always offend her And if I were you and you were me You’d understand that I’m trying so fucking hard.. When it gets tough Let’s go out and have fun Spend the money we don’t have Smoke what Mum calls green stuff Go out, get home, fall asleep and wake up And remember that we’re young and dumb
3.
And I’m floating in your winds again And I know that you will win Cause you always do and you always will Cause you’re a winner, and I’m a loser And you’re right yeah I’m pissed off Cause the things we planned weren’t ever done And everyone knows the story so well I’m the one who lost, and you’re the one who won

Feeding Egos 01:33
I’ve been writing all these songs and they all sound the fucking same All about the shit we did and didn’t do And I know you’ll never hear them but maybe your friends will And they’ll ask you ‘What the fuck’d you go and do?!’ And I know the English man told you to fuck off home But it doesn’t mean you had to do the same to me And I know now you’re the problem you’re why I grind my teeth So from you I don’t want to know or hear a thing And you have your friends and yeah I have mine So why should we even bother try? And I’ve been moving on but I left some shit at your place You can keep it all or sell it if you like (I BET YOU FUCKING WOULD!!!) And I should really be the man but it turns out I’m the mouse So I’ll seek refuge in the walls of my house And I’ll be eating slabs of cheese, dying young from heart disease But at least you won’t make a fool out of me And I know that times are hard and yeah your Dad is really sick So I’ll stay out of your way cause I make things so complicated And I hope you’re keeping warm cause the last time I saw you, you seemed so cold And in your bed there are shadows and they crawl across your room And they’ll swallow you and there is nothing you can do
5.
I love sleeping in bed with my friends who are lesbian It’s no big deal that neither of us are interested Cause we’re both so fucking yuck and filled with germs And I know you’re yuck and I know you’re gross But you’ve got the germs that I want the most And I’d swap yours for mine over any weekend But instead of using hands let’s use our mouths And get really sick together and just lay around the house And to make things fair I will hold your hair While you’re vomiting in the toilet To make yourself feel better
6.
It was my little sister’s birthday and I had beer and you had shots You were really really drunk, I had one and you had a whole fucking lot It was the first time in ages where you were more drunk than me It was the first time in ages I was really really sorry About my absent sense of mind when I assume that you’re alright But you’re not We drove out to the park half an hour just before your birthday And we sat on the highest hill and looked over the shadows of East Brunswick We made out on a rug that my work had gave to me You said it’d been the bet one yet and you’d never been so happy I knew that we’d be alright and I knew that we could make it With an ability to bounce back that we never ever fake I hope you don’t mind me asking But would you want to live with me? On that magic night in Thailand when Ronnie got engaged to Laura I was so so stoked cause you know I really really really adore her And it was such a warm feeling to have you meet my family And they all spoke little English but it wasn’t hard to see They all knew you were as special as you are to me
7.
And I tried to tell you that that person wasn’t me You agreed but we couldn’t entail what it all could mean And a rose grew in our garden, shaded in purple and green And it was warm when we felt it brush so softly against our cheeks And those lights they will pass us as we slumber in our sleep And the oil from our skin seeps through, the cotton of our bed sheets And it warms us to our bones that break that we replaced with wired machines Only to find when we wake up we’re still haunted in that dream And you throw your sticks and stones Just in that hope you’ll be alone And try hard not to be ashamed When they take the best part of you away And I go to shows alone Talk to those people that I don’t know Keep the conversation light hearted Yeah, cause no one ever wants to know And if I’m tired and I’m bored I will keep on keeping on Cause if I give up, then you give up If I don’t wake up, you won’t wake up And we go home and we check out social networks
8.
I heard you found a home that’s right close to my home And I wondered if its location would suit you And I heard it from a friend that I spend most my weekdays with Right before I go to work to get distracted And I wondered if this is where the ending begins The part where the only time we speak is in the memories I repeat And the only time I see you is in the street I’ve been planning tons of shows with all my favourite friends Just in the hope that maybe you will go But I know that you won’t cause I know that you know That I will do or say something really stupid and boring Like I still have the greens that your sister picked for me They’re sitting in my kitchen on my table And I still think of your niece and the words she had with me She told me to keep my filthy shoes off the bed sheets And I did it just for her And I really really miss it And I really really miss you And I really really wish it Didn’t all turn to shit But we’re so deep in it And so the ship succumbs and sinks

Ascot Vale 02:11
She said the next time she fucked someone it’d be filled with love and passion I didn’t say anything but I thought inside I’d lay with anyone if by chance it happened To get me on my feet or get me out of this room Cause all I do is lie awake or sit outside and write these silly songs about you The bed bugs they bite, suck my blood all through the night And that paranoia sets in, and I look like a fucking ice addict You come home to no one and when you do you have to show them How you’re so fucking deep with all your metaphoric-fucking-bullshit And I am the one you said you’d always keep And I am the one you said you’d never leave Yes you did You said the next time you fucked someone it’d be filled with love and passion And I said I’d never drink again, but that’s my vice that I can’t help The anxiety in my stomach couldn’t be any more crushing I’m singing not for you but just for me What a waste of time, what a waste of wine What a waste of a drive seeing you that night And everything I say is not a lie But man, I should of known better to trust you Cold nights and cool tattoos Those arduous stories about being overseas And the cold chills that I felt in the breeze And the hesitations I should of trusted But it’s done now, it’s all left behind But man, I should of known better You have yours and I’ll have mine Just leave it alone and don’t call me
10.
You said that you would never ever leave You said you’d understand after everything you’d seen And been through it’d only ever take some time I can help you, no really I can help you And I was playing the fool, taking a knee Light hearted proposals on Lygon Street You should have said no to let me know This type of thing wasn’t really yours You’re so much older than I know You’re growing colder and it shows And it’s no one’s fault that I couldn’t hold mine Even though that I knew most of the time That we were the blind, leading the blind And it all went in the blink of an.. I know that you can still hear me And I know that none of this is healthy And If you keep closing your doors you’ll be locked in your room And when you’re there, no one will hear you It’s getting colder outside The winter’s breathing in your room And I’m getting so much better Ever since I stopped talking to you And we had plans yeah ‘partners in crime’ Sketches, note books and portraits And photographs that somehow portray me Of that person you created in your mind
11.
The water flows slow She sits in her room and has tea and toast And hosts her ears to the bands she loves the most And I sit in my room cause I’ve got time to waste And disintegrate to Disintegration God only knows why I even stay here And she’s so nice and I’m so mean I’m ‘covered in dirt’ but man she’s so clean God only knows why she’d want to stay here And yesterday I saw a dead mouse outside your house And a pot plant was slanted so I tried to fix it But it was fixed yeah well It was fixed and fine already And I heard that it’s better to Die on your feet than live on your knees Peter Garrett said that and now he’s a fucking fat cat And I don’t know who I should believe And I’m feeling older it’s like I’m not that same When I fuck myself on Friday I feel it to Monday And I feel like I’m great at saying all the wrong things And I had 6 years to figure this out But all my plans they just seem to go south So I’ve rented a house with my best friends And we smoke weed and watch documentaries
