Where’s my phone where’s my phone where’s my motherfuckin’ phone? We get high we get low this is where we wanna go, we are young, you are old, we will not do what we’re told, easy come easy go, where did all the money go? Where’s my phone where’s my phone where’s my motherfuckin’ phone? We get high we get low, tablets will control the flow, older than i used to be, in my head i’m thirty 3, easy come easy go, falling down like dominoes. You haven’t changed but you are not the same, you haven’t changed but you are not the same. Where’s my phone where’s my phone where’s my motherfuckin’ phone? nothing can compare to this, standing on the precipice, I will always tell the truth, i think I am bulletproof, I look forward never back, life is like a heart attack. Where’s my phone where’s my phone where’s my motherfuckin’ phone? Nothing can compare to this, waking up and making lists, What is truth anyway? Black & white & shades of grey, I look forward to a rest, a letter from the president. You haven’t changed but you are not the same. You haven’t changed but you are not the same. Where’s my phone? Where’s my phone? Where’s my motherfuckin’ phone?

Lassie was a good dog and then she went to heaven. She saw a lot of angels there, they washed and combed her long and silky hair, forever. Bambi was a good deer, she jumped over the rainbow, she frolicked in the meadow there, there was grass and acorns everywhere Forever. If you find a penny, put it in your pocket. You will be so lucky people say, it will be so nice you’ll want to stay FOREVER.

I don’t have forgiveness to give you, I don’t have much time. The whole world is falling to pieces, and you think that you cross my mind? I won’t be retracting my statement, I meant what I said at the time. I could not have made myself clearer, all those opinions were mine Walking into the night time i’m walking into the night. Walking into the night time i’m walking into the night. I won’t be attending that meeting, I think I've done all that I can. The whole world is looking for answers but I’m only one man. I don’t have forgiveness to give you, I don’t have much time. The whole world is falling to pieces, and you think that you cross my mind? Walking into the night time i’m walking into the night. Walking into the night time i’m walking into the night. Walking into the night time over and over and over again.

We are falling we are falling we are falling down. We are falling we’ve had our fill and we are falling down. I’ll never hear you’re voice again, I’ll never hear your voice again. Lower you’re expectations, prepare for disappointment. You will be rewarded, you will be annointed the king of the world, the king of the world, the king of the world.

She dreams of airports, packing a bag, something about tomorrow makes her sad. She dreams of airports waving goodbye, things don’t work the way she wants sometimes. Getting away from it all is all, getting away from it all is all. Getting away from it all is all, she’s getting away from it all is all is all.

I want you. I want you. I want you, to hold me, to hold me. When I am tired or I am delirious You lift up my soul, you restore our symmetry when I fall down you're right in front of me Showing me the way, Showing me the way. I want you. I want you. I want you, to hold me to hold me. When darkness falls and I start to suffocate you help me to breath, you always illuminate and when I am lost you never hesitate to show me the way to show me the way show me the way.

Winning is for losers. beggars will be choosers, money does not make the world go ‘round, my new years resolution is to turn this fucking world upside down, turn this fucking world upside down. The grass is just as green here, maybe i’m a dreamer, a good man will not be hard to find, i have a good mind to turn this fucking world upside down, turn this fucking world upside down. Resolution’s not hard to find, just look at your choices and make up your mind, resolution’s not hard to find, make up your mind. Turn this fucking world upside down. Turn this fucking world upside down.

Fast times rushing by i’ll talk to you tomorrow or some other time. Information overload, activating sleep mode, I am tired. Please, tell me how you feel, I want to know you more just tell me how you feel, I want to know you more. MORE. Slow dance take your time i’ll do that thing tomorrow or some other time. I want you to appreciate communication cannot be a one way line. Please, tell me how you feel, I want to know you more. Just tell me how you feel I want to know you more. MORE. Scratching at the outer layer of a world that is all surface, a world that redefines the word pointless every hour, on the hour. Your heavily edited social media presence is no replacement for actual real life communication actual, real life, communication.

Stars shine in a liquid night, illuminate my tired life, they shine, shine, clear and bright, like a stainless steel knife, maybe all is not lost, maybe all is not lost. Dawn breaks like a broken egg, illuminates my sleepy head, slowly spreads into everything like the joy that life can bring maybe all is not lost, maybe all is not lost. Once I was a sailor, lost at sea, with no one looking for me, once i was a sailor and i thought that no one was looking for me. Yesterday is good & gone, we’ll find a new favourite song, reach out and touch the sky, ‘scuse me but the future’s nigh and maybe all is not lost, maybe all is not lost. Maybe, Maybe, Maybe all is not lost. Maybe, Maybe, Maybe all is not lost, Maybe all is not lost, maybe all is not lost.

Darkness falls. I’m alright. I see stars. I see light. I will sing to you, sing to me. I will sing to you, sing to me. Darkness falls. Hold my hand. I will guide you. I understand. I will sing to you, sing to me. I will sing to you, sing to me. I will sing to you, sing to me I will sing to you, sing to me. Darkness falls. Darkness falls.

Sail boats glide on a shimmering evening tide. Sun burned days, time was still on our side. Memories fade no matter how hard we try but sometimes they linger, I swear I can see, running and laughing down to the sea, rushing past rushes, scratching our knees, skipping stones, my daddy and me. Sawdust falls, cigarette smoke in the light, walking home, I knew you’d be sitting inside. Memories fade, no matter how hard we try but sometimes they linger, I swear I can see, running and laughing down to the sea, rushing past rushes, scratching our knees, skipping stones, my daddy and me. I still see you. I still hear you. I can see you. I can See. Raindrops bang on a caravan roof. We played card games, learning to win and to lose. Memories fade, no matter how hard we try but sometimes they linger, I swear I can see, running and laughing down to the sea, rushing past rushes, scratching our knees, skipping stones, my daddy and me.

Be Beautiful 04:46
Surprise surprise, testify, I never thought that I could be so lucky, so lucky. Lucky to be here at all, lucky to be standing in the doorway, another new day. I’m never gonna need someone to tell me how i feel, how I feel. Once upon a time I thought that I would be alive and well forever, yeah FOREVER. Days come and days will go it doesn’t mean that you should ever take this shit for granted, that would be presumptuous of you. I’m never gonna need someone to tell me how I feel, How I feel. You’ll never get to heaven cos it doesn’t exist, you’ll never fall in love if you’ve never been kissed, never have a drink and you’ll never be pissed, be beautiful and hard to resist. You could make my dreams come true but so could I so why don’t I just do that? I think i’ll do that. Moving fast moving slow i always seem to get to where i’m gonna be elated, it’s complicated. I’m never gonna need someone to tell me how I feel, How i Feel. What goes round just goes around and goes around I think it’s called nostalgia, it’s not the answer. Don’t give up and don’t give in, don’t give out I wish it was that easy, nothing’s ever easy. I’m never gonna need someone to tell me how I feel, how I FEEL. You’ll never get to heaven cos it doesn’t exist, you’ll never fall in love if you’ve never been kissed, never have a drink and you’ll never be pissed, be beautiful and hard to resist. You’ll never get to heaven cos it doesn’t exist, you’ll never fall in love if you’ve never been kissed, never have a drink and you’ll never be pissed, be beautiful and hard to resist. Yeah, live each day like it’s a pain in the arse, best foot forward, never go to mass, always be on the guest list, be beautiful and hard to resist, all this therapy is making me sick, all I get is tablets and the clenching of fists, somewhere in the desert NOTHING EXISTS Be beautiful be beautiful, be beautiful, be beautiful, be beautiful, be beautiful, be beautiful, be beautiful, be BEAUTIFUL.

about

13 songs that try to answer what is on everybody's mind; What would that sound like with more guitars? What does it feel like to wake up one day and know with complete certainty that you haven't changed and that you are not the same. What it feels like to grow old in a world that doesn't care. What it feels like to be a wounded colossus at the scrubby, filthy edge of rock and roll, scavenging for meaning and truth and food. None of us are getting any younger but it's alright (it's alright), it's alright.
