All the things you do I don't want you to I can't get my head around you All the things you say Please just go away You give me the creeps in a way I'm not asking you to vacate my life actually not true What I'm really saying is I will maybe, I will miss you You better not wait You better not wait You better not wait You better not wait, you better not wait All the things you are Not gonna get you far You have to admit it's bizarre All the things you'll be It won't impress me I'm telling you I can foresee I'm not asking you to vacate my life actually not true What I'm really saying is I will maybe, I will miss you You better not wait You better not wait You better not wait You better not wait, you better not wait You know me better than anyone You think we're singing the same song I have to disagree, when will you see? Take that smug look off your face I know you think I'm a disgrace Don't you see it's not meant to be? You and me? You better not wait You better not wait You better not wait You better not wait, you better not wait

Playing in rock bands is never easy So many things that can all go wrong When you’re unknown they're not gonna come out and see You and your bandmates playing your songs Will the promoter be mad? Are there enough people in the crowd? Now it’s time yeah Big stage fright Look how they stare Where is bae? Loading your gear and getting to soundcheck Run through a song – can’t hear myself Worrying thoughts race hard through my head Is it just me or is it anyone else? Will all the cables work? Will I remember all the words? Now it’s time yeah Big stage fright Look how they stare Where is bae? I don’t wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna go on

Take one good look Darkened landscape Castle or rook Heart that's box-shaped Feathery dark demise A murder of crows Death overdose Watch you take flight Black as the night A murder of crows Starlings they're not Ravens, jackdaws Steal what you've got Jewellery indoors A flock of beady eyes A murder of crows Death overdose Watch you take flight Black as the night A murder of crows

In the wasteland of the mid 2010s Governments spend more on war and defence Instead of the people they should represent Does anyone know when this madness will ever end? If you look at the things they say It's quite different to JFK And tell me why the good guys die When old warmongers always thrive Could it be that the movie was right? They Live, They Live in disguise In the halcyon 1960s Everyone just wanted love & peace But the military indistrial complex is a disease Can we get rid of it ASAP anyone please? Robert F. Kennedy, John Lennon and Brian Haw Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and many more Could tell me why the good guys die When old warmongers always thrive Could it be that the movie was right? They Live, They Live in disguise I wore those sunglasses and saw Obey, consume, buy, conform And tell me why the good guys die When old warmongers always thrive Could it be David Icke was right? They Live, shapeshift in disguise

I may not always love you But as long as there is grass below you I'll try to give you everything you need We'll figure out what to do And all the things that we'd like to Come and cross the Atlantic with me Hawaii Five-O I guess we should go I'll be there with you In Honolulu I like the colourful clothes she wears And the way the light brightens her hair It goes well with her anarchic tendencies I'll just try to write a few more songs If you like them maybe you'll sing along As we stand on the beach looking at the sea Hawaii Five-O I guess we should go I'll be there with you In Honolulu And if you think that any of this is undeserved Think back to the winter and how long and hard we worked Hawaii Five-O I guess we should go I'll be there with you In Honolulu

The clouds rolled in On a wintry day Of all the times I've been here Today I'll wish myself away To somewhere I can feel warm and things seem right Where the sun meets the sea before it's night Before it's night In all of space And everything there is One is just one thing One is just all of it Oh the emptiness and a distant star You had my heart, you had my heart

I turned on the TV and watched the news People were angry, people seemed confused It's clear they cannot see What's going on man behind the scenes All our leaders swear allegiance to an alien race All our leaders underneath have a reptilian face All our leaders have no interest in the interests of the common man I went outside and well I nearly froze Despite my clothes man it felt like 20 below If global warming is real for sure It won't be stopped by taxing us some more All our leaders swear allegiance to an alien race All our leaders underneath have a reptilian face All our leaders have no interest in the interests of the common man I'm not the crazy one Never killed a man or bombed a hospital They went and took my Kodachrome away The world no longer looks like a sunny day Digital video is now the norm But will it catch when they shift shape and form? All our leaders swear allegiance to an alien race All our leaders underneath have a reptilian face All our leaders have no interest in the interests of the common man

No one’s bought a CD since 2004 I bet no one even knows what a tape deck is for It’s like it happened overnight and it blows my mind Killing the industry one free download at a time People ask me, ‘Hey, why not just YouTube it for free?’ And when I say, ‘It’s memorabilia,’ they laugh at me No one buys music now It’s all just free I hope you like this song Download or stream No one buys vinyls unless it’s cause they’re not mainstream The rest of them would rather live their life goals daydream All your memories may be stored on one gig of data But I’d rather have the product to reminisce later People ask me, ‘Hey, why not just YouTube it for free?’ And when I say, ‘It’s memorabilia,’ they laugh at me No one buys music now It’s all just free I hope you like this song Download or stream What happened to the music, what happened the thrill Of buying a wanted album, and getting that special feel But hey why pay for something when you can get it for free Why work for something when you can do it illegally? No one buys music now It’s all just free I hope you like this song Download or stream No one buys music now It’s all just free This is the death of the industry?

You say that you cannot see me At least then I can move freely Avoiding all of your drama Stealth like a drone from Obama You're acting like Satan's daughter You won't find me at an altar This saga always continues Surprised that I'm copying you Oooh I don't know, I don't know Oooh I feel so low, I feel so low You quote verse from the Bible Faith doesn't make you a rival Will someone make you a girlfriend? Maybe when it's near the world's end Our leaders always conspire That's how we know they're all liars When that eloquence escapes you The logic - de do do do Oooh I don't know, I don't know Oooh I feel so low, I feel so low
