Couch Potato 03:33
Simmer down, young couch potato You forgot your square eyes Come on back to bed my darling You forgot your bedroom eyes Cheer up! Has something got you down? Something's got you down. Ante up, you're so gullible You've got those snake eyes Come back down to earth my angel You forgot your head light on Growing up, you've been watching too much TV With no self control, love This isn't the movies Buckle up now, son You grew up! Cos you've been knocked around You've been knocked around. So Cheer up! Don't let it get you down Cos nothing's got you down.

Gimme my fix Write your number down on this card Next to the little picture of a telephone These hi-jinx Have got me all worked up Now I need my medication So gimme my fix I just need one small taste And I know I'm addicted to you These graphics! After one hit from you makes The world seem so lifelike But slow down I'm freaking out Snap back, heart attack You're just like a ticket to the sun Slap on your own sunscreen Nah, I'm alright I can find my own way home What's it to you Betty Boo? Gimme my fix I want to melt you down so I can shoot you up So I can feel you swimming inside of my veins These graphics After one hit from you makes The world seem so lifelike Settle down, it's only recreational.

Carly Fraser! Fancy meeting you at a bar like this A few drinks later… What say we take this party back to my house? Break habits every time This happens when I see you out Make mistakes Self control is such a whore the night before You're such a bitch in the morning It's time to wake up It's time to pack all of your dreams away Sans your makeup It's scary waking up next to your morning face (You're forced to say) You know that dying feeling

Cold shoulder to cry on Hold me closer tonight There's a wounded soldier to mend So hold me closer tonight You take sides We both take sides And it's so old

Skinny bitches, you're so difficult Just invite me in Let's do breakfast in the afternoon Let's do scones and tea We can spend our riches on our way home Living comfortably Watch it go out the window Oh, so innocently You're such a robot, oh You're such a robot, no Such a robot - All senses go (Take it to the Matthew's bridge) We can divide our interests, set our boundaries We can compromise And when you're lonely, we can go out We can socialise And so we'll converse, we can chit-chat It's so predictable It's getting stale, so monotonous Let's make things interesting We'll start a rumour, oh Start a rumour, no Starting rumours - All senses go (Take it to the Steven's bridge) Drop the beat down and give me a reason why You've gotta be skinny for the summer season This is bikini weather! Suck in your gut and push out your chest Cos you gotta look thin to fit in that dress This is bikini weather! To the world, you're so cynical Open your eyes - You're being difficult Because you're sitting on top of the world

It's a common misconception that Your looks will improve Just like the more you drink, girl The better you move But you're getting sassy and What I've found is that We better hit the bar Cos it's final rounds Now fill up your cup, it's getting empty You're getting drunk, I'm getting thirsty Take off your top, it's getting toasty You're getting drunk, you're feeling frisky Ha ha ha! Girl, you're so funny Let's take some drugs, let's spend some money Ha ha ha! Let's spend some money! Now just lock your arm in my arm And I'll escort you outside Just to catch your breath Before you change your mind Hold your hand in my hand As we sit down at this table I'll laugh at all your jokes I'll scoff at all your fables Even though we hardly started I can tell it's going to be a party And when it gets loud and rowdy I bet you're gonna wanna make it about your body Girl, you know that vibe Gets in your viens and you just can't help it Good girls go bad, go wild Stress on the brain - heat it up, melt it Let it drip to the floor I want to see your primal side Now when you can't skip anymore That's the cue for one final round It's nothing personal I'm just not touching your body Let's start a war If you're feeling naughty

LCBSS 03:28
Went out just as best friends Come back and now we're known as these lovers Boldly going to sneak in after curfew Gotta tiptoe past the grass to your window Silently love Went well until the bedroom You gotta try to work to keep these levels down This hullabaloo is going to wake your parents And I'm not ready to be introduced While I'm inside you Sorry for everything Sorry for everything else too Sorry for the missed appointments Sorry for the fact that you were late Life can be so shitty sometimes All cards on the table It's getting hard to read your poker face Your bluffing needs work No church, no steeple Our love was never meant to fit the mould It's getting hot in here (Holy sister) (I'm so) Sorry for everything Sorry for everything else too Sorry for the disappointment Sorry for the fact that you're alone Life can be so shitty sometimes I can be so shitty sometimes

Say My Name 03:00
Say my name when you say you love me Engrave our names into a tree So we're permanently etched into the earth For all to see Just you and me Say my name when you say you hate me We'll reconcile and start it from scratch We're so indifferently in love and it seems It's just you and me Don't mean to be mean, but Stop being so sweet and sour And let the night unwind Don't be such a prude and open up a bottle of wine Something to set your lips on We could stare for days But I'd still get lost in your eyes Some kind of paradise Say my name when you're in ecstasy Engrave your nails into my back We're so in sync now, we're permanently Fused into one It's just wrong Stop being so sweet and sour And let the night unwind Don't be such a prude and open up another bottle of wine Something to sink your teeth into

Boxing Day 03:39
A bunch of things that we've already said There's too much going on inside your head As our clothes fall to the floor It's all shit that we have done before If only you weren't so predictable I'm black and blue But I've got this swelling under control Before you explode (This won't end well) A little bit of sugar makes the medicine taste sweeter So don't explode Because I'll never get the satisfaction if you let me win This reminds me of when we first met A night out that I never won't forget You said, "Why should I waste my time?" And I have been denied If only you weren't so unpredictable I'm black, you're blue But we've got this swelling under control Where are my manners, let me take off your dress There's nothing on your body that I wouldn't caress Let's be polite, let me turn on the lights There's no use fumbling around when you're in your dressing gown Cos you'd do it yourself if I wasn't such a gentleman Don't look now Im staring down your dressing gown Don't be so proud It's nothing I haven't seen before

Hey Dave, you're getting married today! Mazeltov! Man, I must say Your future father-in-law looks so strung out Cos there is an open bar and I'm parched You see, I've got a bone to pick with you You've sat me next to your aunt who looks long overdue For a dental cleaning and that got me thinking Am I in the mood for fish or chicken Something blue, something borrowed Something old, something novel Here's to you, you handsome devil Bottoms up - this shit's forever! Hey Dave, your bride looks so good today With that wine on her dress and that look on her face While we bust a move to this band or DJ Let's start the conga, shit gon' get cray cray! Well where to begin, he is my best friend Ruining his big day is tradition I've got jokes about when we were teenagers That time you pooped your pants in high school Got stories about when we got so wasted Went to the mall naked, murdered that homeless dude I'm offending everyone, just threw up on your mom The bridesmaids are sexy, except for that fat one Shooting Apple Sourz, I fell off the stage I've got jokes for hours, I've got jokes for days Ima close it with a classic, it's a sure thing If I'm the best man, why are you marrying him? Raise your glasses to your faces Let's get blasted, let's get wasted
11.
Backbone 02:49
Take out your backbone You don't deserve a spine There's no need to back down I'm not looking for a fight And we bop around town Oh, what an awkward night I can feel it in my bones You look so radiant tonight So scandalous I never meant to break open your heart But you made it so easy, so simple Dear catalyst You weren't exactly easy to forget Now I'm just a prime example If only it had just been sex I apologise I just needed to break a heart To deal with this heartbreak But you saw it coming from the start You little vixen You little light shining in the dark I'm just overly smitten And scared that we'll never be apart If only it had just been sex But you made it so hard Now you're just a bitter memory You're just a memory If only it had just been sex But you made it so hard Now I'm just a bitter memory I'm still a memory

127 Hours 02:33
It took you all night to see It took me all night to get you next to me Cos you're too hard to read I just took a hit of ecstasy The room is spinning all around me But you're still next to me So I ask if you want to leave You said you needed to get going So you came home with me We made a bit of light love We figured we'd figure it out in the morning So we ate breakfast early Walking out the door Is so dishonourable But sleeping on the floor Is so fucking uncomfortable And a few months passed by We ran into each other at the movies And avoided eye contact You got some popcorn I got myself a berry smoothie And we entered separately But then when I sat down You were sitting right beside me And I couldn't concentrate So I said a little "Hey love!" And you continued to ignore me So I just watched the movie Piranha in 3D disappointed me You're sleeping on my arm I'll cut off my numb arm But I don't have a knife So I'll gnaw off my numb arm You're sleeping on my arm I'll saw off my numb arm How did we get here? These are my drunk eyes
