Some bands write ballads And some bands write rants Some bands write anthems With singalong chants Those bands have fans Who enjoy all their shit But we will be lucky To finish our set Just finish our set If you can't carry a tune in a bucket We're the band for you We're the band for you If you learn half the words then say fuck it We're the band for you We're the band for you Our songs are all tedious Our lyrics are crass Our lead singer Lol Is a pain in the ass If you just want music that's stupid and fast We're the band for you. Some bands play stadiums And some bands get deals Some bands go touring And do it for real (they do it for real) Those bands have fans Who will buy all their merch But we're really counting on flogging this shirt Just one lousy t-shirt We're the band

Cry On Me 03:08
Cry on me When you're down and out When you're in the red And you really can't Make it out of bed When times are bad And life is sad You can just call And cry on me When your family are Pecking at your head And your enemies May as well be friends Put down those pills Forget your ills Give us a call And cry on me You know that you can cry on me Don't you give up and die on me If the loneliness Has you on the ledge And your memories Push you to the edge Don't you dare fall When darkness calls Pick up your phone And cry on me

Butt Stuff 03:06
Butt stuff Verse I went to see my baby On a Saturday night She met me at the doorway In a rubber pinstripe She had a rabbit in her left hand And bullwhip in her right And I said Baby you just gotta let me know Chorus What you wanna ) Do? ) Wanna do? ) x 4 Wanna do? ) Wanna ) What you wanna do? ) I want butt stuff! Bridge If you're feeling horny And you got the urge Come on call me over Just gotta say the word Butts go up Lube goes down We pop a pinkie in and then we twirl it all around Verse I had a revelation on that Saturday night The stuff my baby wanted is no fun if you're too tight It takes a little bit of training Just to get everything right Then she said baby you just got to let me know Mid 8 I want you To peg me too

DeAdPoOl 02:24
DEADPOOL it's awfully sad when celebrities fly To that great green room in the sky Everyone really miss them so Eulogies everywhere you go But don’t worry my friend; you’re gonna see ‘em again... You're gonna see them again You're gonna see them again Every tribute band’s Gonna lend a hand Making sure you can And let’s not pretend Being dead’s the end If you’ll only pay For oldie songs All original bands Get to fight for crumbs And the poor old venues Have to do their sums So you can see see ‘em again So let's start a trend Go and tell your friends Fuck the cover acts And tribute crap Even shitty bands Have one killer track But the public gets What it doesn’t lack So go and see them again Mid 8 And don’t forget to buy Your vinyl Although you don’t have any decks Just stick ‘em up above your mantel Because it makes you look so cool, Well alright! You're gonna see them again You're gonna see them again Every tribute band Gonna lend a hand Making sure you can And your scene is fucked If you're in that rut Making sure you’re: docile Playing safe Getting high on Yesterday One step forward I’m all right Jack… Now go and see them again You're gonna see them agai You're gonna see them again You're gonna see them again

What a Day 03:23
What a Day Slept in late Boss irate Sometimes feel Like a slave I'm overworked and I'm underpaid Too tired out to go out and get laid My heart's a mess and my head is frayed I see the stars but I'm just afraid How come it snows but it never rains It just pours down torrential pain Take me away What a day Today You never worry do you Sometimes think Landlord stinks Got to be Better place I'm overwrought and I'm underpaid Too tired out to out and get laid My heart's a mess and my head is frayed I see the stars but I'm just afraid How come it snows but it never rains It just pours down torrential pain

Selfie related deaths You gotta get it You gotta get it Stick out your iPhone with the timer on and set it They won't forget it They won't forget it And as you fall you know you're karmaing your subreddit Just like you told your mum on Zoom You're guaranteed a million views You gonna do it? You gonna do it? If common sense was just a pooch then you would screw it You've gotta do it You've gotta do it Throw up a smile, ignore the sign and tumble through it It's only water after all That and a 1000 metre fall Congratulations You just became A selfie related death You just immortalised Your final breath For Instagram Or maybe Facebook You gotta get it You gotta get it Ignore the barriers and lean over and spread it You gotta get it You gotta get it Don't pull the trigger - oops - you know, you might regret it... You're really gonna make a bang I think the obese person sang Congratulations As they lower you into your early grave Assuming there's a single scrap of you to save A poweruser who's a karmawhore for life The train the that squashes you was creeping down the line The lion that mauls you was a pretty kitty cat But you are ending up as pretty kitty scat The cliff you fell off to show off your happy face The walrus drowning you will also kill again The teen who blew it taking selfies with a gun The slip you took down the steps at the Taj Mahal You'll die a stupid death today and that's the fucking joke

Don't Get Old A When I'm Old A Will you be there? E When my wrinkles A Outnumber my hair? F# When my earlobes reach down G To my hips E Will you wipe the spittle C# From my babbling lips? D And change my pants When I've had the shits? F# Will ya? Will ya? F Will ya? E D C# A And when my friends are dead and gone E D C# A Will you still be my only one? E D C# A It's pension day, let's have some fun! D Before We're in E Our graves

Shithole 04:03
The place where I was born Will always be my home No matter where i live It's where I say I'm from Those dirty streets and dusty Factory floors are gold But no one cares about us all I've been around the world and seen a million sights From windy desert storms to cold Alaskan nights I always carry all my memories of home No matter where on earth I go So don't you laugh about it You know fuck all about it And everyone back home agrees It's a shit hole But it's our shit hole And you can't talk about it It's a shit hole But it's part of me And you can't say one single word The town centre's dead And when all is said And done I know It's a shit hole, but it's my shit hole The place where I was born Is scruffy and forlorn An empty precinct with the Shutters all pulled down Dead dog kebabs The puke stained flags Kids tagging walls And every Friday's pissed up brawl… My town defines me in a way I can't explain Although I moved on out a dozen years ago It's always there, but when I think about it now I feel a thousand miles away So don't you gentrify it No don't you even try it Cos everywhere just looks the same It's a shit hole But it's our shit hole... The parties we crashed The windows we smashed The underpass where I had my first taste of hash In the parks we got pissed I had my first kiss The alleyway where I got my head kicked in It's a shithole But it's my Shithole

Live My Life 04:10

They knew too much flying saucers The men in black and their cadillac motors But no one ever talks about the alien slaughter So maybe it's true Or maybe it's you They knew too much about Paul McCartney The walrus is Paul and it’s Billy Shears’s party But no one ever talks about the Apple Corps army So maybe it's true Don't turn on the news Andrew Wakefield David icke Spicing up your boring life Alex Jones and infowars Blame the world for your failures He knew too much about vaccination Is the government really gonna save the nation? 'Cos everybody says it's an extermination And all over YouTube They're blaming the Jews They knew too much about coronavirus The new world order and the 7G towers I’m like “no one ever talks about the president's powers” And now we're all screwed And it's all ‘cause of you

Glorious 03:16
GLORIOUS We work away at Our deadheading jobs On factory floors And bargain price shops But come the weekend We blow it all off We're playing for you Not top of the pops We don't give a toss If we ever get paid, oh no The noise that we make's Never going to fade away From half empty pub To festival stage We forge our own path No minimum wage We load all our gear And take it away And in between that We get up and play It's worth all the sweat For a half an hour's rage Oh yeah We know who we are And we're ready to turn the page 'cos we are Glorious We're the new sound of rebellion, we're notorious And we're here to blow your minds No time for nostalgia Here's the future of the scene And we are Glorious We're here to stay The PA comes on The guitarist plays The drum and the bass The rhythm is nailed The audience sweat And scream in our face The singer goes wild It's been a long day There's nothing quite like that musical craze Oh no We give it our all and we're giving it all away And then in the end We go our own ways The happiest clowns Another few days We keep our end up Although it don't pay We make our own rules Not fading away We know who we are And we know what we gotta do We're doing it now And we're doing it all for you 'Cos we're all…

Verse 1 I don’t care what people say I'm not listening anyway I won’t waste another day Looking for a better way I’m too wound up to ever fade I just can’t wait to get As far away as possible Far away as possible Chorus I’m gonna stay up all night With you I don’t know just what to say Body’s dead but mind’s awake Lying next to you again Thoughts are running through my head I tried so hard to go to sleep We just can’t wait to get As far away as possible Far away as possible Chorus I’m gonna stay up all night
