Between Us

My friend, you’ve been to hell and back
How I wish I could’ve comforted you
Way more than I did
I often wonder
Could I have helped prevent…?
Please remember I’m still here
I’ve been here all this time
Why did you have to go and
Blame this thing on us?!
Don’t let this thing
Come between us now
Let the chips fall where they may
Don’t let this thing
Come between us
Why don’t you let it go
Why did you have to go and
Blame this thing on us?!
Don’t let this thing
Come between us now
Let the chips fall where they may
Don’t let this thing
Come between us
Why don’t you let it…

Relentless Idiometry

There’s a method to our madness
But we can take hit
We’ll build castles in the sky
Just let us deal with it
I know we’ll never make it
To the punk rock hall of fame
But who cares? We’re in this for the love of the game!
Let’s up the ante and make this work
We are cutting corners, we’re on high alert
(We’re on high alert)
I am the salt of the earth when
I say that it might be
Right back to the drawing board
At the drop of a hat, you see
So what? Get back on our feet again
Just let the dust settle
We won’t ever back down
Put the pedal to the medal
Let’s up the ante and make this work
We are cutting corners, we’re on high alert
We’ll be relentless, constantly
Facing the music will set us free
You’ll set us free…
Let’s up the ante and make this work
We are cutting corners, we’re on high alert
We’ll be relentless, constantly
Facing the music will set us free

No Regrets
02:27
|
|

They all say we’re nuts
For making choices that don’t comply
With what seems to be the norm
And that is why we consider being who we are
To be a real life art form
I don’t think you do realise this
But there’s no one I would rather waste my time with
So now, hear me out
‘Cause I might give up from time to time
Oh, but you, I’ll never quit
Building our dream
Him and her, the perfect team
Just us on our crazy adventure
Noses pointed in the same direction
Ever since the day we met
We will take on anyone who defies us
Our tattoos spell “No Ragrets”
Noses pointed in the same direction
You will always have my heart
We will take on anyone who defies us
Till we’ll both be old farts
Building our dream
Him and her, the perfect team
Just us on our crazy adventure
Noses pointed in the same direction
Ever since the day we met
We will take on anyone who defies us
Our tattoos spell “No Ragrets”
Noses pointed in the same direction
You will always have my heart
We will take on anyone who defies us
Till we’ll both be old farts
They all say we’re nuts!
Just us on our crazy adventure for life!

1978
01:58

That night at the party, a ’78 Saturday
She got stood up again, but the bullet ricocheted
So singing wildly, she danced the night away
Never thinking clearly, in a state of disarray
He musters up the courage to ask her to dance
But the music’s way too loud
So she misunderstands
She kisses him and right there they know
This is it
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
That same night at the party, he will never forget
The moment he laid eyes on her
This easy swaying silhouette
He musters up the courage to ask her to dance
But the music’s way too loud
So she misunderstands
She kisses him and right there they know
This is it
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
40 years of being unafraid
40 years now as of late
40 years…
40 years of being unafraid
40 years now as of late
40 years… since 1978!
He musters up the courage to ask her to dance
But the music’s way too loud
So she misunderstands
She kisses him and right there they know
This is it
I will never let you go
I will never let you go

All About Perspectives
02:44

I don’t know what your life is like
I don’t know where you grew up, so
Why should I judge you by the things you say?
I don’t get why you are this angry
And why you find it so damn hard to
Just be happy for anyone
Who doesn’t see it your way
I just wanted you to see
I just wanted you to see
I just wanted you to see
The difference between you and me
I just wanna set you free
I just wanna set you free
I just wanna set you free
‘Cause your reality is make-believe
You don’t know what my life is like
You don’t know where I grew up, so
Why should you claim to be anything but subjective?
You don’t get why I believe in
Equal rights for everyone
Oh my God, are you for real?
Dude, it’s all about perspectives
I just wanted you to see
I just wanted you to see
I just wanted you to see
The difference between you and me
I just wanna set you free
I just wanna set you free
I just wanna set you free
‘Cause your reality is make-believe
Your reality is make-believe
I just wanted you to see
I just wanted you to see
I just wanted you to see
The difference between you and me
I just wanna set you free
I just wanna set you free
I just wanna set you free
‘Cause your reality is make-believe

I feel so sorry for everyone who can’t accept
That we’re all different
Have you no mercy?
All those of you too blind to see
Diversity is just what makes us strong
I feel so sorry, I really do
I feel so sorry for you
We’re all equal, but some of us
Are more equal than the others
Seems like we’re headed for Orwellian times
We’re all equal, but some of us
Are more equal than the others
To this dystopia we will not be confined
We’ll stand united to prove that
There should be
No such thing as bigotry
We’ll make you see
Small-mindedness will not prevail
Yet tolerance is indestructible
I feel so sorry, I really do
I feel so sorry for you
We’re all equal, but some of us
Are more equal than the others
Seems like we’re headed for Orwellian times
We’re all equal, but some of us
Are more equal than the others
To this dystopia we will not be confined
We’re all equal, but some of us
Are more equal than the others
We’re all equal, but some of us
Are more equal than the others

Oblivion
03:13
|
|

Do you recall the day that we met, just strangers passing by?
Listening to Less Than Jake, yeah, we were so surprised
To have found each other right then and there
We were going nowhere
And so we found ourselves amidst a sea
Of teenage angst and epic love stories
We put them all to good use
Becoming who we were to be
We’d fly onto tomorrow
Only looking up
No matter what, we all knew
It was just us
Little did we know
That it would be this tough
To change the world for the better
Lost in oblivion
Like all good stories ours came to an end
Though I really hope you’d still call me your friend
We’ll run into each other (GAINESVILLE, ROCK CITY)
We’ll share an understanding smile
We’d fly onto tomorrow
Only looking up
No matter what, we all knew
It was just us
Little did we know
That it would be this tough
To change the world for the better
Lost in oblivion

Riddle Me This
02:51
|
|

So, riddle me this
If everything’s pure evil
Then why can I feel love?
If we don’t have a purpose
Then why make life so tough?
If nothing is worth fighting for
Then should we just give up?
Well, I for one refuse to drink
From that half empty cup
Hah, fuck me for being positive!
So, riddle me this
Riddle me this
Is there something that I’ve missed?
Riddle me this
Riddle me this
Well, congrats! You’ve made it on my pity list
So, riddle me this
You privileged son of a gun
Are you entitled
To comment on another
This rude and unbridled?
No, I am not here to change
Your stubborn point of view
But to be quite honest here
I’d be happy if you do
Hah, fuck me for being honest!
So, riddle me this
Riddle me this
Is there something that I’ve missed?
Riddle me this
Riddle me this
Well, congrats! You’ve made it on my pity list
Riddle me this, riddle me this...

Late Bloomer

Hey, late bloomer
It’s okay to wait a while
Take a deep breath
So you can make your soul smile
Just you listen
I need you to be strong
You were always meant to sing
I’m sure you’ll find your song
It’s okay, late bloomer
Truth is worth more when it takes you years to find
It’s okay, late bloomer
You’ve gotta learn how to fall
If you ever wanna ride
Hey, late bloomer
Don’t you worry now
Keep looking in the mirror
Until you find yourself somehow
Live in the moment
You’ll find out who you are
Remember that your imperfections
Will make fine battle scars
It’s okay, late bloomer
Truth is worth more when it takes you years to find
It’s okay, late bloomer
You’ve gotta learn how to fall
If you ever wanna ride
You’ve gotta learn how to fall
If you ever wanna ride
Don’t you worry now
Truth is worth more when it takes you years to find
It’s okay, late bloomer
You’ll find your way someday
If you ever wanna ride…

The Armistice
02:20
|
|

Boy, there’s a war going on inside of you
You can’t seem to figure out how to find a way
To conquer your demons and to put the weapons down
Aaahhhh aaahhhh aaahhhh
Don’t lose yourself in everything
It’s a long way down
You don’t know what to expect
Whatever happens next
The armistice is now…
Boy, you are doused in a life that’s filled with
Reluctance
A profound lack of trust
Don’t lose yourself in everything
It’s a long way down
You don’t know what to expect
Whatever happens next
The armistice is now…
You don’t know what to expect
Whatever happens next
The armistice is now…
You don’t know what to expect
Whatever happens next
The armistice is now…
You don’t know what to expect
Whatever happens next
The armistice is now…

Black Coffe Mornings
03:22
|
|

Always staying after closing hours
I swear, just one more round
Always one more story worth telling
Come collect me at the lost and founds
I’ll just have one more
Don’t show me the door
Promise I’ll be on my way…
Why do I forever bite off more than I can chew?
Despite everyone’s constant warnings…
Never listening to my own conscience
Oh sure, I’ll get it done
I can’t take no more
Just drop to the floor
Tell you I’m doing just fine
Why do I forever bite off more than I can chew?
Despite everyone’s constant warnings…
Why do I feel like I’ve never done enough?
On those black coffee mornings…
Oh Hannah, just say no
It’s really not that hard
You need your sleep, don’t go
Why do I forever bite off more than I can chew?
Despite everyone’s constant warnings…
Why do I feel like I’ve never done enough?
On those black coffee mornings…
Why do I forever bite off more than I can chew?
Despite everyone’s constant warnings…
Why do I feel like I’ve never done enough?
On those black coffee mornings…

Articulate
01:59
|
|
||
Feeling like this scares the hell out of me
You choose your words so damn carefully
Each breath I take
I fear I’ll fail
While I’m over here
Trying to exhale
I’m so lost I don’t know what to do
Even after a drink or two
Don’t you get that
I sure suck at
Common chitchat
Speech is combat
Don’t interrupt, just hear me out
Everybody knows that I’m articulate
Everybody knows that I’m articulate
I’m self-assured, you better deal with it
Everybody knows that I’m articulate
Don’t need to go to university
To get a freakin’ language degree
I’m confident
You’ll take my hand
And understand
All words I’ve banned
Come on, what did you expect of me?!
What is it you want me to say?!
Look into my eyes
And you will find
Just read the signs
You’ll be surprised
Everybody knows that I’m articulate
Everybody knows that I’m articulate
I’m self-assured, you better deal with it
Everybody knows that I’m articulate

Die Hard
03:03
|
|
||
So here I am, sitting all alone
In a dark corner of my room again
It’s not that I chose to be right here
It’s just that this is where I collapsed
Don’t act like you get me
It’s easy for you to say:
“Don’t do more than what’s your part”
It’s not that simple, mate
It’s easy for you to say
‘Cause old habits die hard
Minor breakdown, nothing to worry about
I’ll get back up in an hour or so
Don’t mind me, I’ll be here coalescing with the walls
Just don’t ask me to do stuff, ‘cause I won’t
Don’t act like you get me
It’s easy for you to say:
“Don’t do more than what’s your part”
It’s not that simple, mate
It’s easy for you to say
‘Cause old habits die hard
I get up, as I do every day
I am stressed, as I am every day
I go to work, as I do every day
It’s too much, as it is every day
I feel fucked, as I do every day
I’m okay
I’m okay!
Don’t act like you get me
It’s easy for you to say:
“Don’t do more than what’s your part”
It’s not that simple, mate
It’s easy for you to say
‘Cause old habits die hard

Nowheresville Motel
03:44

Sitting here, in this godforsaken town
Wondering ‘bout life and how I ended up here
I am vexed…
Close my eyes, to wake up to a new day
Of finding out where this road will take me next
In this very moment…
Can I be anywhere but here?
Why am I stuck behind the bars
Of my own mind and now longing to break free
From this empty shell?
Close my eyes, vigorously wanting
To go back to that Nowheresville motel
In this very moment…
Can I be anywhere but here?
I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory
Hold onto it, till I let go
Until I let go…
I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory
Hold onto it, till I let go
Until I let go…
I want this to mean something
Anything at all
I want this to mean something
Anything at all
I want this to mean something
Anything at all
I want this to mean something
Anything at all
I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory
Hold onto it, till I let go
Until I let go…
I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory
Hold onto it, till I let go
Until I let go…
I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory
Hold onto it, till I let go
Until I let go…
I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory
Hold onto it, till I let go
Until I let…

Acting all like
“Man, that sounds good, you should be on the radio”
All the while hiding your kids
From that punk blasting through in stereo
You would go to great lengths
To prove we’ll grow up soon
The hell with babies, savings, pension funds,
No more drinking before noon
They don’t wanna hear us
They don’t wanna see us try
We are rendered useless
Obsolete and despised
They don’t wanna hear us
They don’t wanna see us rise
We are rendered useless
Obsolete in their eyes
Well, I don’t care what you think
I’m not fit for adulting
Not into diapers, cleaning, spinning class
Your judging look is insulting
They don’t wanna hear us
They don’t wanna see us try
We are rendered useless
Obsolete and despised
They don’t wanna hear us
They don’t wanna see us rise
We are rendered useless
Obsolete in their eyes
We’re in this for life
Being young is not a crime
They don’t wanna hear us
They don’t wanna see us try
We are rendered useless
Obsolete and despised
