Don't get any big ideas, They're not gonna happen.
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking.
My dad spent his whole life getting into fights for telling what he believed to be the truth. Basically it comes from my dad-and he's screaming right-wing, so there you are.
Well, it only dawned on me about six months ago that not everybody's against me all the time. It was something of a revelation.
When I go forwards, you go backwards And somewhere we will meet
You do it to yourself, you do, And that's what really hurts, Is you do it to yourself, just you, You and no-one else, You do it to yourself.
Coming from Britain, I was terrified of meeting all these other artists, because artists over there tend to fight with each other a lot, the premise being that there's not enough room for everybody.
While you make pretty speeches I'm being cut to shreds You feed me to the lions A delicate balance
The more you try to erase me The more, the more The more that I appear
Time is running out for us But you just move the hands upon the clock You throw coins in the wishing well For us You just move your hands upon the wall
One little leak becomes a lake, Says the tiny voice in my earpiece
You cannot kickstart a dead horse
How come I end up where I started? How come I end up where I went wrong? You used to be alright What happened?
You are my centre when I spin away.
