LYRICS

When icicles hang by the wall 
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail 
And Tom bears logs into the hall 
And milk comes frozen home in pail, 

When blood is nipp'd and ways be foul, 
Then nightly sings the staring owl, 
Tu-whit, tu-who, 
Tu-whit, tu-who, 
Tu-whit, tu-who, a merry note, 
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot 

When all aloud the wind doth blow 
And coughing drowns the parson's saw 
And birds sit brooding in the snow 
And Marian's nose looks red and raw, 

When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl, 
Then nightly sings the staring owl, 
Tu-whit, tu-who, 
Tu-whit, tu-who, 
Tu-whit, tu-who, a merry note, 
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot 

Oooooo 

When daisies pied and violets blue 
And lady-smocks all silver-white 
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue 
Do paint the meadows with delight, 

The cuckoo then, on every tree, 
Mocks married men; for thus sings he, 
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, 
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, 
Cuckoo, cuckoo, O word of fear, 
Unpleasing to a married ear 

When shepherds pipe on oaten straws 
And merry larks are ploughmen's clocks, 
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws, 
And maidens bleach their summer smocks 

The cuckoo then, on every tree, 
Mocks married men; for thus sings he, 
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, 
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, 
Cuckoo, cuckoo, O word of fear, 
Unpleasing to a married ear

LYRICS

Drunk too much last night I’ll forget 
Anything that’s real that we said, 
Ain’t got no worries hanging over me, 
Ain’t got no pounding in my head 

I can’t wait, 
How can I keep it to myself? 
I wanna shout it from the rooftops that it's 
All taking shape, 
I’m ready to make my move, 
Let's escape 
Oh let’s escape 

Potentially 
This could be 
A new beginning 
For you and me 

Feel like a brand new me 
And I can finally see clearly 
I know now what it is I want 
And who it is I wanna be 

I can’t wait, 
How can I keep it to myself? 
I wanna shout it from the rooftops that it's 
All taking shape, 
I’m ready to make my move, 
Let's escape 
Oh let’s escape 

Potentially 
This could be 
A new beginning 
For you and me

LYRICS

I'm running mad lately, 
It's too hot this January. 
Heat's gotten too my head, 
Got me going cuckoo crazy.

Too many people catching my eye. 
Need to stop staring so I
Turn my head up to the sky.
These birds are singing at me, 
But it sounds like they're laughing at me, 
What do they find so funny? 
I swear I'm going crazy. 

I'm on my knees, 
Begging please, 
Oh bring this summer to an end so I can get some sleep. 
I'm tossing turning, 
What'd I do to deserve this? 
You know I need to cool down. 

I've been lonely lately, 
Too cold to go outside, 
But I'm still woken by the drunken cries out in the night, 
I should be with them really, 
But this weathers got me feeling blue, 
As my lips and fingertips, 
I'll admit I miss my crew. 
What'll I do? 

I'm on my knees, 
Begging please. 
Oh bring this winter to an end just so I can see, 
Past the fog outside my window. 
I can't wait to go away.
You know I need to cool down.

  C                       F
I tell you to wear sunscreen, 
               Am
But then I go and get burnt.
           C                              F
Don't stick the knife in the toaster, 
             Am
Oh you think I would have learnt.
  C                          F
I can’t believe that you are sick, 
                 Am
Don’t you read the best by date,
  C                        F
I know it was the creme burlee, 
                  Am
Cos that’s exactly what I ate, oh….


C                    F            Am
I'm extremely hypocritical,
  C                      F
I think that I am always right,
       Am
But I don't really know.
          C                      F
Don't tell me what to do,

But I'll make sure that I tell you, cos...

I'm extremely hypocritical.
               C
Hypocritical


Falling off a cliff,
The second time always hurts the worst
I say this with authority
Because i did it first.

Don't climb that tree,
But look and see
That’s how i broke my leg.
I yell and scream, 
Please look a me, 
I never loose my head, oh…

I'm extremely hypocritical,
I think that I am always right,
But I don't really know.
Don't tell me what to do,
But I'll make sure that I tell you, cos...
I'm extremely hypocritical.

Please tell me that you love me,
But I won't tell you the same.
This relationship has become a mess,
You're the only one to blame.

You think that I'm an idiot 
And I act like a fool,
Unfortunately that is
Absolutely positively true. 

G
Everybody acts like this, except for me cos I’m perfect
Everybody acts like this, except for me cos I’m perfect

I think that I am special
But I’m no different.
Ohhh
You think i would have learnt….
By now.

I’lI tell you not to do something
Then I go do the same.
The only explanation is 
That I am really lame

But I never admitted it no,
Cos that's just what i do
I just turn it all around 
And poke fun at you

Cos...

I'm extremely hypocritical,
I think that I am always right,
But I don't really know.
Don't tell me what to do,
But I'll make sure that I tell you, cos...
I'm extremely hypocritical.

Hypocritical - Original

'Break 'Dem Rules' was written by Maude Morris, and performed by Reuben Hudson for the New Zealand web-series 'Lovely Little Losers' on YouTube. The original video can be found here on YouTube: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReYB-LL0-B0

VERSE ONE
You have waited months for this to come, 
To see us here, we've come so far, 
We've opened up our eyes to see
There's nothing left we need to fear

CHORUS
And they can't tell us
How to live this way
We'll break the rules
And we've been jealous, 
Struck by madness
We can break the rules
It's what we're meant to do

VERSE TWO
You can stand apart, ignore your head
Follow your heart, 'cos it knows best,
If it sounds right take a chance on life
Take that weight off of your shoulders
You can rest your head on mine

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The instructions in life aren't as clear as they seem
You've got a complete checklist, not a complete me
So don't wait for leaders, you can do this alone
If you have no fear, it'll become known

CHORUS

VERSE ONE:
You have waited months
For this to come,
To see us here,
We’ve come so far.
We have opened up 
Our eyes to see,
There’s nothing left,
We need to fear.

They can’t tell us how to live this - we will break the rules.
We’ve been jealous, stuck by madness, but we can break the rules,
That’s what they’re meant to do.

VERSE TWO:
You can stand apart,
Ignore your head,
Follow your heart,
‘Cause it knows best.

Take a chance on life.
Take that weight off of your shoulders
So you can rest your head on mine.

The instructions on life aren’t as clear as they seem,
You have a complete checklist but not a complete me.
So don’t wait for leaders you can do it alone,
If you have no fear it’ll become known.
