The Kind To Fight

It's never been so easy
To starve in the cold end of days
Yeah and I let myself wander too long
The sun rides in again

But if you feel hunger
Just clean out of food
Yeah if you feel hunger
Stay strong and true...cos

Money cant buy me much
Won’t matter what you bought
‘Cos I don’t believe in the faith that you buy
No money can’t buy me much
It won’t matter what you bought
‘Cos I don’t believe in the faith that you buy

Oh and I hope you get your fortune son
But I don’t care what you own
And I swear no good, no good, no good will come
’Cos in the end we’re all just skin and bones

But if you feel hunger
Just clean out of food
Yeah if you feel hunger
Stay be strong and true

‘Cos Money cant buy me much
Won’t matter what you bought
I don’t believe In the faith that you buy
No money can’t buy me much
It won’t  matter what you bought
‘Cos I don’t believe in the faith that you buy


Money Can't Buy Me Much

Some days I’m a waste of space
Some days I look dire
Sometimes I’m a hopeless case
Sometimes a hopeless liar

I know I’m not everything
That you hoped would all come true

But when I ask you who do you think about 
You say hey 
I think about you

I know I’m not funny
I never had have that skill
And I don’t get that much money
Don’t think I ever will

And I stay out too late ‘till my head aches
And I gamble ‘till I loose
But when I ask you who do you think about
You say hey 
I think about you

And there ain’t no good reason
For me being like I am
You say oh I think you want your freedom
I say no
I’m a faithful man

But I sometimes feel
And It’s no big deal, that you hate whatever I do

But when I ask you who you think about
you say hey 
I think about you

And when we get older
And we sit here by ourselves
And you rest your head on my shoulder
And I spin you those stories I tell 

And I’ll say I know I wasn’t everything
That you hoped would all come true

But if you ask me who do I think about
I’ll say hey 
I think about you


I Think About You

Every time I head back home
My heart aches yeah
Every time I see that stone 
My heart breaks yeah

I’ve travelled far but from what I’ve seen
There’s nowhere feels like home to me
It’s in my soul

But these are the days when I stay where I wanna stay
Out on the streets in the sunlight and everything
I wont be long here you stay if you wanna but 
I’ll ride on ride on

Y’know If id’ve been half the man I thought i’d be
I’d take my leave and I’ll be gone.

I’ll be Gone

Now every time I hit that road
My heart aches yeah
And every time I let you go
My heart breaks yeah

Oh I’ve travelled far but from what I’ve seen
There’s nowhere feels like home to me
It’s in my soul

But these are the days when I stay where I wanna stay
Out on the streets in the sunlight and everything
I wont be long here you stay if you wanna but 
I’ll ride on ride on

Y’know If id’ve been half the man I thought i’d be
I’d take my leave and I’ll be gone.

I’ll be Gone

I'll Be Gone

When I’m old and I’m looking back 
And I Think of you won’t it make me sad
When I think of you with another man 
And you’re being cute and you’re holding hands

But we both know we were too young
We both said we should move on
We stayed close but we were just good friends

And I hope life treats you good
I hope it does

But I don’t wanna know
If he loves you and if he tells you so
And I don’t wanna see when he holds you close
No that’s not for me
And I don’t wanna tell
You I’m lonely and he can go to hell
Oh I’m sorry
But I don’t wanna know 
When it’s late and he’s taking off your clothes
No I don’t wanna know

Then you told me 
You said you’re sorry 
You gotta leave me
Can u forgive me 
I said Id try 
What’s the reason why
Said you’d met a guy
Now you gotta fly

and then I did everything I did
And you got married with four kids
And I don’t say this but I still have regrets

And I hope life treats you good
I hope it does

But I don’t wanna know
If he loves you and if he tells you so
And I don’t wanna see when he holds you close
No that’s not for me
And I don’t wanna tell
You I’m lonely and he can go to hell
Oh I’m sorry
But I don’t wanna know 
When it’s late and he’s taking off your clothes
No I don’t wanna know


I Don't Wanna Know

Look there’s a pain in your face
There’s thunder and lightning on the streets     
On these november days
It’s greed like the void in your veins
Forever the sound of this rain on these cold ember days

And every son mourns when their mum has gone
The flowers on their graves don’t get there on their own

And thieves fore they fall on their swords 
Favour the days counting gold on the backs of their whores

Look there’s a pain in your face
There’s thunder and lightning on the streets     
On these november days
It’s greed like the void in your veins
Forever the sound of this rain on these cold ember days

And every son mourns when their mum has gone
The flowers on their graves don’t get there on their own

And thieves fore they fall on their swords 
favour the days counting gold on the backs of their whores

On The Backs Of Their Whores

Don’t wait up
I'll see you in the morning
I won’t make it home tonight
I’ll catch you some other time
I don’t know when that might be

Oh but straight up
Did you mean it when you told me
To take back everything that's mine
Keep your photographs that’s fine
You just wanna keep this clean

I know I’d drink too much, take drugs and start our fights
I’d spend our hard earned cash going out on Friday nights
I know you're thinking now that I’m bad company
And you already got over me

But oh my god do I 
Wish you were here tonight
I swear I’m sober dry
But I’m falling all over
I’m falling all over
And oh my god did I 
Wish you were by my side
I swear I’m sober dry
But I’m falling all over
I’m falling all over 

Don’t wait up
There’s nothing we can say now
But I might text you when I’m drunk
Meet someone and have some fun
I don’t know ho that might be
 
I know I’d drink too much, take drugs and start our fights
I’d spend our hard earned cash going out on friday nights
I know you're thinking now that I’m bad company
And you already got over me

But Oh my god do I 
Wish you were here tonight
I swear I’m sober dry
But I’m falling all over
I’m falling all over
And Oh my god did I 
Wish you were by my side
I swear I’m sober dry
But I’m falling all over
I’m falling all over

Oh I gotta say love 
You’ll be the end of me
Oh I tried, begged, borrowed and lied
But you already got over me but

And Oh my god do I 
Wish you were here tonight
I swear I’m sober dry
But I’m falling all over
I’m falling all over
And Oh my god did I 
Wish you were by my side
I swear I’m sober dry
But I’m falling, I’m falling

Don't Wait Up

There he goes in a bad mood
Lying on a Sunday
He's drunk in bed

And my old girls in the front room
Saying when's he gonna gonna get
Gonna get, gonna get dressed?

This house is an old disgrace but I call it home
This house is the only place that I call home.

And she said 
Hey Don't Forget Me
I said no ah you won’t let me
She said well try and you'll regret these times
When I’m gone, when I’m long gone
When I’m gone


It’s five he'll be home soon
Looking for some good food
He's doing his best

And my old girl in her old shoes
Saying well he's gonna get gonna get 
He’s gonna get fed

This house is an old disgrace but I call it home
This house is the only place that I call home.

And she said 
Hey Don't Forget Me
I said no ah you won’t let me
She said well try and you’ll regret these times
When I’m gone, when I’m long gone
When I’m gone


Hey Don't Forget Me

It was one of those days
One of those break down, 
I’ll never get found, 
Nobody gets me kind of days

Everybody knows those
When your back bone goes

And It was one of those times
One of those hate myself, 
Gonna hurt myself
If you let me kind of times

And everybody has these 
When your down on your knees

But I’m no fool
You’ve gotta give me my due 
I know that every dog has it’s day
So all I ask is you give me some patience to wait. 

‘Cos if you want the truth maybe I still care
Don’t wanna spend my life on a hope and a prayer
So if you want me to say I love you then I’m telling you so, 
I’m telling you so.

It was one of those roads
One of those bending 
They’re never ending
Life depending kind of roads

And everybody’s had them
When your pain never ends

But I’m no fool
you’ve gotta give me my due 
I know that every dog has its day
So all I ask is you give me some patience to wait   

‘Cos if you want the truth maybe I still care
Don’t wanna spend my life on a hope and a prayer
So if you want me to say I love you then I’m telling you so, 
I’m telling you so.

And when you feel like your heart is gone
And your soul is left wide open
And no one noticed 
And no one called out your name

But if you want the truth maybe I still care
Don’t wanna spend my life on a hope and a prayer
So if you want me to say I love you then I’m telling you so, 
I’m telling you so.
