Situation 01:33
2.
I found it so hard to cope, On this slippery slope, I found it hard to dig in, It feels so safe when falling. They take me down. They drag me down. You bring me round. But now it's simple to be. Nothing bothers me. Excited 'bout the climb. Now that I've got the time. They take me down. They drag me down. You bring me round.

Wooden Teeth 03:44
I love my wooden teeth; they mean all the world to me. Made by someone into art, to match my old wooden heart. They're great but try and spot, nasty woodworm and dry rot I love my wooden teeth - that I got! Would you like to see them? They're yellow and brown. Got them varnished last year. It cost me a pound! Would you like to help me? By sanding them down. Got to keep them shiny, And structurally sound. I love my wooden teeth; they mean all the world to me. Artwork made from oak, in varnish left to soak. They're fine for a little while, they soon got outta style Can't feel my wooden teeth - that I got! I love my wooden teeth They love my wooden teeth Do you love my wooden teeth? Would you like to see them? They're yellow and brown. Got them varnished last year. It cost me a pound! Would you like to help me? By sanding them down. Got to keep them shiny, And structurally sound.

I 03:28
It’s quiet here now that you've gone Something, somewhere’s telling me its wrong Reassure. I'm not so sure Especially how I’m writhing on the floor I'll leave for now Leave I maybe strange but you're a stranger now that you've gone I'm in a daze but I’m still craving for the sun I'm not sorry for something I truly believed I'm only mad because I really care... well I cared. I need somewhere to go Be something else - be someone I know It’s quiet here now that I’ve gone Just the sound of me writing this song. Can't talk for now Can't

Oughta Know 01:56
I can't believe that it’s happened again, to me, this time, with you. It started with control, with a smile on my face. It spiralled away became out of place. I can't breathe Don't you think, don't you think, I’d want to know? Don't you think, don't you think, I gotta know? Don't you think, don't you think, I oughta know? I'm just not comfortable anymore, here, just me, alone. I can't see anymore, keep seeing your face, I resigned from myself and fucking MySpace. I must leave.

This I Know 02:32
Been walking around back here Been pulling in those held dear Caught a glimpse of myself outside I'm hoping the image lied. Cold pressure hangs around my heart Ignoring signs that say don't start Sometimes I wonder where to go. Sometimes I fuck up and this I know. Spent hours inside my brain That time drives a man insane I'm suspecting the image true Distorted by thoughts of you
7.
What have you done to yourself? You're not the same. Something has gone from your eyes and I can't explain. This is my condition This is my perdition Could you try and save me? Could you try and save me? Save me from my heart. Glad you tried and save me? Glad you tried and save me? Save me from the start. Gotta love, gotta rest, gotta fill that hole inside. Get up get out of your mind - don't try to hide. Situation’s never the same from the outside in. Never let the world bring you pain, don't let it win. (Chorus) Its complex but depends on your stress. I know how you feel. You yourself and nobody else can make you heal. (Chorus)

Dunno what to say,dunno what to do Want or regret, haven't a clue No one to blame, nothings the same Games that I play, take me away Thoughts in my head Part of me dead Regret this feeling inside Nothing to know Nothing to say Nothing left to hide. No sleep any more, as low as the floor I'm taking the pills, they cure all my ills Things that I said, things that I dread It’s all a game, nothings the same Thoughts in my head Part of me dead Regret this feeling inside Nothing to know Nothing to say Nothing left to hide. Now that I know You'd think that I’d grow Into something good I need to get Time to regret Not even sure I should

Tramps stole my fillings, And my lucky shoes Well it served me right For not having change When I got home I found it Burnt to the ground, How unlucky can One guy get? Oh Santa please help me out? Suicidal Christmas, Gonna slash my wrists-mas Ho Ho Ho. Suicidal Christmas, Gonna slash my wrists-mas. Ho Ho Ho. Got four leaved clovers Instead of a tree You'd think I’d have Some bliss Broke several mirrors, Threw salt into my eye Then my dog died, of Syphilis Oh Santa won't you help me out? Hurrah its Christmas time Everything’s usually fine Sitting down with the family to dine Drinking copious amounts of red wine Kinda looks like blood. Kinda hope its mine. Because!

Big black hair I’ve had my share. It's amusing. Amuse me. Black will fade. Lighter shade. It's just grey - aren't they? Music's loud, I’m so proud, to be here - so near. I feel new and I do too. In two minds, two minds. I don't really wanna rock, I've been rocked around and I wanna stop. I don't really, I don't really, I don't wanna rock. I don't really wanna rock, I've been rocked around, please make it stop. I don't really, i don't really, i don't wanna rock. Time moved on and I was wrong, I'll face it, change it Change the scene and be seen. Belong. No one. (Chorus)

Scattergun 02:20
Can you make the changes? The kind that rearranges? It’s not the end. Have faith my friend? Its not as bad as all that. Please don't buy a cat, For company. Don't you see? More than seven wonders. There's safety in numbers. That’s what we're told. Sevenfold. Get yourself back out there Consider that a dare You will see, You'll thank me. Now you know what to do It’s all up to you One last thing I will sing Keep your love in pound Feet firm on the ground That what I say The game you play Scattergun!

Tony Towers 03:57
If you need somewhere Get to Tony Towers Get away from it all There’s a place called Tony Towers You'll make the place your own, Home away from home. You'll never be alone, With your own private throne. It would be a crime You have to make the time Join the back of the line There's a waiting list Waiting list for Tony Towers A place has opened up At the great Tony Towers It's a wonderous place, Move along to Tony Towers You are finally there You're allowed to stare Velvet everywhere And a golden stair You can just settle now He can show you how He will mop your brow You'll love your stay Your stay at Tony Towers (break) Something isn’t right Strange sounds in the night Then an awful fright Then you lose your sight Feel blood soaked floors But there are no doors You've found the only flaw You never gonna leave Forever a part of Tony Towers

Goodbye my love, not high enough This sudden bliss, turned to this Goodbye my friend, feeling the end Has come for my soul. So…? Time brands me a fool Time eats us whole Hello to myself, nobody else Hold off again, I still remain. Think hard so long, all here were wrong And so it ends with… Time brands me a fool Time eats us whole (Never gonna be) What you lack (Never gonna be) On your back (Never gonna lose) My control (Never gonna lose) Another soul (Always gonna try) Focus mind (Always gonna try) Not be blind (Always gonna be) Watching me (Always gonna be) What you see I'll let you know if I can take it.

about

This album is the result of me pushing myself to write and record an album in 6 weeks. Written between December 2006 and Jan 2007, and recorded over the last weekend in January. My band Alcohol stepped in to help me record the songs along with a few friends.
