See I never hoped to free
I’d settle for less and I stopped myself being me
The only way 
The only way for me

I saw you
Not looking for somebody new
My hands just gripped the sides as a told myself ‘Just be you’
So goodbye lies and welcome to the truth

I’d have frozen you out if I saw you then
I’d avoid any mention of love but something changed
The girl over there by the stairs spilling lager
Don’t pass me by

See another night of what could have been
It makes me sick to think on a birthday night going cheap
But love is free
And love is free for all

I’d have frozen you out if I saw you then
I’d avoid any mention of love but something changed
The girl over there by the stairs spilling lager
 Don’t pass me by

It’s gonna fail in the end
I’ll replace it with something else
Is it asking too much to be loved
It’s as if he don’t care up above

With ease you stand out from the easily pleased
Your head is full of wrong with a danger smile full of love
But goodbye lies and welcome to the truth
What am I what I to do

I’d have frozen you out if I saw you then
I’d avoid any mention of love but something changed
The girl by the bar with the card spilling lager
Don’t pass me by




Love Songs Make Me Sick

Face Down

Philip Quinn and the Vanguards - Bad Advice ('Advice' - 80s Remix)

Heads we do it 

You always let them off in the end believing peace is just round the bend
It started way back in school. And its the same now always, Can we risk it one day
Chew down your passion, anger and rage. Draw pretty pictures trapped in a cage
And yeah you’d like to let it all out. Like a human always There’ll be thunder one day (You say to me)
Heads we do it tails we lose. I’m bored of walking in someone else’s shoes
heads we do it tails we lose so bad always. Why is it always?
And on the times we talk from the heart, Yeah our emotions drawn to the dark, but in the spirit of past decades, There’ll be thunder one day, Its a risk I insist we stay (may chance decide)

Instead we’re trying to decide to have a go or let our story slide
So heads we do it tails we lose so bad, sometimes I see a rebel in your eyes

Heads We Do It

Outside is Compromise  

Its time to make up your mind, you should do it.
Be brave now
Jacked a late night bus in the rain to see her with him, at the window at their table but I own you now, remind her you’re the one, the words you always hear are

you should fantasize outside is compromise i will help you I’m your demon inside

                Its time to make up your mind, don’t be stupid, lets go now.
A hero you will become, break up the wedding, you were so down, here we go now, can you prove me wrong, Temptation always wins, I will feed you all my ego

You should fantasize outside is compromise i will help you I’m your demon inside
Soon you’ll be walking like me you’ll be who all the lads want to be I will help you i’m your demon inside

Like the devil on your shoulder helping ya say what you wanna say
Every move should be much bolder now reminding ya life’s only here today
 

You should fantasize outside is compromise i will help you I’m your demon inside
Soon you’ll be walking like me you’re there who all the lads want to be I will help you i’m your demon inside

I’m your demon inside x 4


Outside Is Compromise

Fierce

Do I look the other way or do I stare down the clown. You take my breath away or it it asthma. 
I'm standing on my own watching friday night all around. 

But in the city we're treated badly what are we waiting for?

You're Fierce, You're going to be hard to please. You're Fierce, the birds always want the bees. You're fierce someone else will want you tonight

My heart is on the pull but my brain has shut down. I naswer all your questions with a strange sound. 
I'm standing on my own watching friday night all around. 

But in the city we're treated badly what are we waiting for?

You're Fierce, You're going to be hard to please. You're Fierce, the birds always want the bees. You're fierce someone else will want you tonight

But its a shame that I lacked the words to impress but you always seem so less than impressed
We're caught a cliche in sexual decline but you always thought we were wasting our time.

Fierce

Pleased to be here

You’re making me ill again, my self confidence down the drain
Everyday thats taken, and you won’t make amends, its fatal story, trying to be your friend, or at least they pretend

But I hadn’t realized, you spend your life in disguise
Every doubt that haunts you and won’t go away, I know that you are projecting and making me feel your pain, what can i say

CH - All of your words show up your hurt, like held down fireworks are you afraid to be grateful and just pleased to be here. 

You’re doing that thing again, like I don’t already know I’m sane
Every snidey smile hides your monsters and pride, every new phone and trainers, numbing your pain inside. oh shine a light

CH - All of your words show up your hurt, like glued down fireworks are you ashamed to be hopeful and just pleased to be here. (pleased to be here x 3)

Shine a light, its not a fight, had a dream about this liquid picture from that moment i was hooked .
Shine a light, its not a fight, had a dream that everyone woke up and then didn’t give a fuck
Shine a light, its not fight, so take a bite.
