Deck The Halls

Well there’s a cold and lonely thundercloud
Bearing down on the city tonight
And my baby’s going underground
Where there’s no sign of light
And there’s a chill wind scratching at the walls 
And it’s crawling up under the door
But our castle was made for cannonballs
So my darling, you must cry no more

‘Cos if you love me I will dance in the firing line
Cackle at the storm each and every time
Catch a bullet in my heart I won’t even mind
Because I’m some kind of hero

When demons pound at your door I’ll chase them down
Scream hellfire at the top of my lungs
I’ll turn my gaze to the storm and I’ll face it down
With the power of a million suns
I’ll light a fire in the dark and stoke it up 
Into flames that will dazzle for miles
And when the storm burns out and you’ve woken up
We’ll set out for the ocean in style

‘Cos if you love me I will dance in the firing line
Cackle at the storm each and every time
Catch a bullet in my heart I won’t even mind
Because I’m some kind of hero

But what kind of man 
Would gamble your heart on the words of a song
That slips into silence when it’s gone wrong?
Well baby it beats doing nothing at all. 


Some Kind Of Hero

Here's a big load of silly nonsense for you. 

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Once In Royal David's Mashup

Sweat, ache, Hands shake
Heart begins to palpitate
Legs twitch. Twist and kick
Something’s wrong
Eyes wide, dilate
Every shadow seems unsafe
Can’t sleep, can’t eat
Help me, I’m gone

Well I drank, sipped, sucked it up
Threw every last shred of hope in the cup
Then knocked it back, world fades to black
Not quenched until I drown
Now where’s my soul said I
This twitching kid with the bloodshot eyes
Got oh so high, failed to fly
Now falling to the ground 

What would make you get so battered
That your bones betray you, start to shatter
And you can’t relate to all the happy little night-time boys and girls

Stop. Kick. Twist. Now. 

Teeth clench, hands too
Won’t do what I want them to
Can’t think, need drink
Wrong kind of thirst
But it’s done, sense won
Couldn’t handle all this fun
Save breath, crave death
Can’t be much worse

And I’m sick, sigh, can’t abide
This twitching track from wet to dry
I’m too old to cry, too young to die
Too rabid for the pack
So I’ll spit, try to hold it in
Search for a sign of life within
And I’ll fake a grin until my skin
Is starting to crack

What would make you get so battered
That your bones betray you, start to shatter
And you can’t relate to all the happy little night-time boys and girls
Well you’ve got to break through, got to battle through
The nights that hate you, ‘til you’re better
And the shakes can’t shake you
Like the happy little night-time boys and girls

So just stay cool and break through this sick delirium state
I got wasted, now I’m tasting the cruel justice of fate

Can’t sleep. Bones creak.
Must seek the night-time boys and girls

What would make you get so battered
That your bones betray you, start to shatter
And you can’t relate to all the happy little night-time boys and girls
Well you’ve got to break through, got to battle through
The nights that hate you, ‘til you’re better
And the shakes can’t shake you
Like the happy little night-time boys and girls

Delirium Tremendous

Well you could build me a house made of silver and gold
So fine it’d make a grown man weep to behold it
And dust all the walls in jewels of every hue
And I will dance like a child through the castle and grounds
Drinking wine from a cup worth a billion pounds
And I’ll feel so fucking empty through and through

‘Cos the one little thing that I’m lusting after
Only thing that’ll make my dreams come true
Well if a smile’s what you wanna see
There’s only one thing you could give to me
I said hey, I want you.

Well you could show me the world, lay it out at my feet
Change the names of the towns and the names of the streets
To Felix Hagan City and Family Avenue
And I will walk through the towns with a tear in my eye
See the platinum statues a mile high
And I’ll cry for mercy, cos Oh no it just won’t do

‘Cos the one little thing that I’m lusting after
Only thing that’ll make my dreams come true
Well if a smile’s what you wanna see
There’s only one thing you could give to me
I said hey, I want you.

Well you could start a religion based on things that I say
Put my name in the mouths of the folks as they pray
Put a wide-eyed, truthed-up zealot man in every pew
And I would stand in the pulpit and wave my arms
Spit my sin, damnation and napalm psalms
And as they kill each other in my name I’ll know that it’s not true

‘Cos the one little thing that I’m lusting after
Only thing that’ll make my dreams come true
Well if a smile’s what you wanna see
There’s only one thing you could give to me
I said hey, I want you.

Hey I Want You

I see her glisten in the lights. 
Just listening to people shout things they don’t mean
She spouts worn-out carpe diems in her torn up tights and DM’s
She’s the queen of her wasted little scene

And if she hates me my heart breaks
With such an earth-shaking sound
So turn and face me for my sake
You could save me if you come around
And I don’t like to bare my soul to strangers
But show me yours and I’ll show you mine
And we’ll dance together. One more time. COME ON

Well he’s so single, searching for a simple kind of love 
That withers in daylight
And in his mirror, he’s a king. He’s a winner
He’s the patron saint of each great Friday night

And if he hates me my heart breaks
With such an earth-shaking sound
So turn and face me for my sake
You could save me if you come around
And I don’t like to bare my soul to strangers
But show me yours and I’ll show you mine
And we’ll dance together. One more time. COME ON

It’s not a cry for help. It’s just a cry for connection
And I’d trade my life and health to make people pay attention
I’d sacrifice myself for the sake of entertainment
And die smiling when you’ve seen it. So sing out like you mean it.

When I hear people stand and cheer
It’s the dawn that shimmers in the dark

And if they hate me my heart breaks
With such an earth-shaking sound
So turn and face me for my sake
You could save me if you come around
And I don’t like to show my soul to strangers
But show me yours and I’ll show you mine
And we’ll dance together. One more time. Come on. 
And we’ll dance together. One more time. Come on.

Attention Seeker

There’s a boy who sits alone among a thousand little dreams
Wants the break the hearts of hundreds, growing drunk on fevered screams
He’s running from a shadow that has stalked him all his life
It’s the darkness that is lurking when you feel like you’re dropping out of sight

Well he’s torn himself to pieces and each night he feels the itch
To grab the needle, thread and scalpel. He’ll gather, slice and stitch
And he’ll build a brand new person where the current person sits
Until he’s nothing but a patchwork of other people’s greatest hits

And every lost evening while time ticks ever on
He sings for his supper, goes home to write songs
And waits for some signal, waits for some break
To make him feel better he’ll say

I wanna dance like Gene Kelly 
Dress like Elton John
Give those kids who get me a star to wish upon
Tell the world I’m ready 
To write their favourite song
So folks who never met me will miss me when I’m gone

But these dreams don’t keep the lights on, they don’t pay for bread or cheese
There’s no free ticket for the rockstar with the most convincing pleas
And though ambition is a virtue, and desire can breed a king
There’s no reaction without action. There’s no life if you don’t sing

So kiss goodbye to comfort, say hello to fun
Grab your battered guitar. Face the dark and run
Halt the shadows creeping, turn up every dial
Watch the people smile when you say

I wanna dance like Gene Kelly 
Dress like Elton John
Give those kids who get me a star to wish upon
Tell the world I’m ready 
To write their favourite song
So folks who never met me will miss me when I’m gone
I wanna dance (I wanna dance, dance, dance) like Gene Kelly
I wanna dance (I wanna dance, dance, dance) like Gene Kelly
