the secrets of that ee ee ee sound you here on a stereo you left on

it is you
as much as you hate it
and as much as i can't help it
its you
as much

and paper and ink aren't enough
song is not enough
and damn sure text is not enough
and i'm not enough

and that's why it's you
has been
and probably will be
as much as you hate it
and as much as i can't help it
it's you

the space i feel in my bed
the stool next to me at the bar on lunch times
and i still buy the second shot
because if you're not there to drink it
then i need to

she looked deep into his eyes
and said
i love you

and all she could see
was herself reflected
and she meant it

flowers, anyone?

i only have one mood
and i'm not in it

i'm again outside it
looking in
trying to get it's attention
but it isn't looking 'round

i think it passed away in the night
'cause of the cold

...and again...

i'll tell you why it didn't work

i always follow my heart
and not my head
and my heart was filled
with hate and shit
and is now dead

you always followed your head
and not your heart
and you're a fucking idiot

Sun reported to not only be incapable of wearing a hat, but also not even own one.

Experts have stated today that if the sun were indeed to put on a hat it would surely be engulfed in flames on the surface of his 5500 °C (about 9900 °F) head.
Dr Hopson of Londons Royal Astronomical Society said that “it wouldn’t even work if the hat was made of, like, steel or something, ‘cause it really is very, very hot and would just vaporise. It’s even hotter than a really hot oven”.

Staff at St Brendan’s CofE School, have been asked to try to overlook the subject should it be bought up, to keep from upsetting the children. “The cost of recalling thousands of books to edit ‘The Sun Has Got His Hat On’ would be phenomenal”, says Head Teacher Ms Flaps. “The budgets for most schools are tight as it is, and it’s hard enough trying to maintain a general work ethic with these rubber headed children, without also losing their trust. We’ve done it with huge sections of the other text books”, she added, as she returned to her wincing students.

Terry Dilddleton, a local interior designer, sympathised with the Head Teacher, pledging full blackouts on every window, saying, “the quicker we can get around this, the happier the children can be. I’m not standing by while a child weeps, due to some big, hot, lying orange cunt in the sky. I fucking love kids”.

when it comes in
you will

try

open up your mouth
see what you say
and at least give it a go

but it won't always
it won't

it won't always

if i had a pound for every time,
i'd still be poor
i'd still be here
and as much as i need to move
i'm still trying to figure the direction
and the reason
and the push
and why

is that enough

will that do

?
