Call Me the Abacus, 'Cause You Can Count On Me 04:15
lyrics
buy track
You'll never shoot me down, aim your crosshairs at the wounded man in his darkest days. I'm stuck in this town, never know where to turn, each path I choose just leads me astray. I can't escape this, and now the wolves are at my feet. Is there something here to save me, 'cos every bridge we have every built's incomplete. These sinking ships won't save you. From the depths of this I'll still pull through. Now it's better this time the past is left dead. From the abyss you've still broken me. This clouded judgements put my head in my hands and my heart back on my sleeve. From all of this I have taken away, that 'when life gives you lemons, fuck the lemons and bail.' I've made this hell my home. For way too long, it's burnt out, it's time to move on. It's up to this. You cannot fall if you don't climb, there's no joy living your whole life on the ground

I Stopped Stripping For Jesus 04:05

She said 'you're kind of like, a character in, a story by Elmore Leonard. You're always on the run, you never know what from, but you know you could wind up dead.' And if this universe was made, of stories and not atoms, then we might as well make, them the best ones. Don't let your heavy heart, drag you down. The warning shots were fired from the start, you didn't hear a sound. Hell is empty and all the devils are here. I once read that misery, acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. We picked ourselves up off the floor, brushed off our broken elbows. The blood that's on my hands, is covering all my favourite things, and none of this was worth it after all. So wise so young, they say do never live long. Every choice I make, every road I take, will take me closer to home.

I Don't Think the Amish Are Allowed to Listen to Beyonce 01:44
lyrics

Today's a good day. I got the bus for free, I didn't pay for my coffee, work was quiet so I got to go home early. I've got my headphones in, listening to The Cure sing, and I don't give a fuck about anything. I haven't had a day like this in a long time. Soupy says that 'most days are bad days' and I guess he's right. I just plough through days, the edges blur and they fade. If my life's a play it's on an empty stage, playing to an empty room. But it's too nice outside to feel so bad inside. I've been feeling dead for days, the edges blur and they fade. But I won't ever fall apart.
