Shitty Little Life First Demo

I Hate You First Demo - Colin's Rendition

Can you believe it?
How could they do it?
They cut you out
without a sign
it just, happened
before it everything was fine

You’re jobless now
how long this wretched life will last
What makes you think that 
it won’t happen for a second time?
And, worst of all
You question all you talents all the time...

If you’ve ever been fired suddenly
you’re dead inside with a family to feed
never lose your faith
it’s not your fault really (there’s politics, you see)
If you’ve ever been fired cruelly
You worked your arse off but you boss failed to see
Never lose your faith
‘cause they make mistakes
And you’re a casualty only 

I was once let go suddenly
when I sat down there was sunshine on my cheeks
thought it was a raise
I cried for seven days

I was - dedicated I guarantee
I loved my job but my job didn't love me
but anyway, I’m not easy to replace
at minimum wage 
I think they miss me already
whisper: Something’s wrong with this company

I still cant believe it
They went ahead and did it
They cut me loose
But they were my muse

If you’ve ever been fired suddenly
you’re dead inside with a family to feed
never lose your faith
it’s not your fault really (there’s politics, you see)
If you’ve ever been fired cruelly
You worked your arse off but you boss failed(s) to see
Never lose your faith
‘cause they make mistakes
And you’re a casualty only 

Close: 
We have all been let go all too suddenly
And we can never see the real cause with clarity
Say after me, “Putain! C’est la vie”

If one day you’re let go all so suddenly
and if you’re dedicated to you job like me
Just leave gracefully, it’s their loss really
say you’re equally sorry

Just send some CVs when you watch TV

We’ll make it big eventually~


If You've Ever Been Fired Suddenly First Demo

I waited for you at the gate every day
But you were engaged with some other maids
I pretended it was a race to leave the place
in fact it was my chance to see your face
 
And one day it happened you were to fly away
Your fling it didn’t last but you were gone anyway
Bought you a pocket watch so you’d remember our days
Fulfilled the tragic role that I must play
 
Then years have passed all was fine until one day
I found you on Facebook
Dropped you a message right away
We chatted the way we did in our tender age
We agreed that we would meet some day
 
You told me your hair turned dark as you aged
From blond to brown
Still I remembered your handsome face
We talked ‘bout your hair, your study and your date    
With your hair, I wouldn’t mind if it was grey
 
I waited to see you towards my holiday
I would jump on a plane from Spain to where you stayed
But I got no message, whenever I messaged
In silence I sent my hope 
with your accounts, to the grave
 
Last night, on skype I received your request
A Request to reconnect which I longed every day
I know that you are straight and you can keep it that way
Although I must admit I want your kiss
 
My fantasy unlocked like Pandora ’s Box
When I shave I think of you
Now there is blood on my face
My skin aches for your sake
But now my heart’s been carried away
With you we’re in a room with a view

I know there will be someone else another day
Online or on the Street or even at the workplace
And I’m happy to be the bridesmaid, just like the Little Mermaid
But for now, with just one click and you can light up my day
 
You’ll always be the first of all boys I’ve craved


I Waited First Demo

Dedicated to all recruitment agencies, especially the one on Dane Road, Sale, Manchester.



Day after day, jobseeker’s blind faith
Get up wash up dress up, charge up your iphone
Sit down with your laptop and send applications nonstop
Hallucinate ‘bout your ringtone round the clock
 
And if somebody calls you up
You’d think that’s your lucky day, isn’t that obvious?
But I’ll tell you, that’s only true,
if only the company directly contacts you
Recruitment agents I’m sorry I am through
No more monkey business, so long to you
 
Recruitment agencies, Unreliabilities
Whenever they say to me
That you’ve got a strong CV,
You should smell something fishy
There must be something shady
The job will go to someone
Represented by another a-g-e-n-c-y
And that always happens…
Suddenly~~~~~~~~~
 
Day after day, you haven’t lost your faith
Light up, look up, sit up, keep up for Christ's sake!
run your online job search before you hit the hay
Sieve through the duplicates in your way
300 times a charm they say
 
Recruitment agencies, Unreliabilities
Whenever they say to me
That you’ve got a strong CV,
You should smell something fishy
There must be something shady
The job will go to someone
Represented by another a-g-e-n-c-y
it just always happens…

Applying online gleefully
A new job listing finally
You call up the fucking agency to see

Deliver the cheerful query
The job has gone to someone
3 weeks ago that's ancient history
 
Redundant scrutiny, from Recruitment agencies,
Think they know  what clients want 
But often they miss the point 
they would meet you on a Monday
and have you back on Friday
for a big shebang workshop day
only forget to say that client
wont be showing up on that day
And finally you get to the client
They would know you’re not the one straight away
 
Day after day, it’s their way or no way
Get used to being played,
Jobseeker’s tragic fate,
All the end of the day,
You’re just a chip on their table,
Your time and information get they paid.
 
Fucking Barricades!
