Lyrics:
VERSE
The words are ringing in my ear
Her shell remains but her soul aint here
She’s dead
You don’t hear it every day
Her spirit’s up and gone away
She’s dead
CHORUS
And the stillness
Is a scene of thrashing violence
And I’m deafened
I’m deafened by the silence
VERSE
I notate this while I still can
I’m going to have to be a man
Now that she’s dead
Peripheral shutdown has taken hold
I’m not the same since I’ve been told
She’s dead (she’s dead)
CHORUS
And the stillness
Is a scene of thrashing violence
And I’m deafened
I’m deafened by the silence

Join us this week as our boys talk to Harry White from one of Brisbane's biggest local pop punk bands.
[Verse 1]
I’ll bring you home again
Just say the words and let this jealousy and hatred fall apart
Give me a chance again to prove I’m different
I wish we’d been this way right from the start
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you know you were a waste of time?
A broken act of thoughtless lies
And I know that it’s not okay
But now
[Chorus]
We’ll be just fine, leave it all behind
To show you how it’s really supposed to be
It’s all green lights, we’re at new heights
Just close your eyes and help take on the world
With me
[Verse 2]
We won’t go back again to where we began
We’re better than that already come so far
I see a perfect sunset on the close horizon
Just pack your bags, we’ll leave this town and just aim for the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you know you were a waste of time?
A broken act of thoughtless lies
And I know that it’s not okay
But now
[Chorus]
We’ll be just fine, leave it all behind
To show you how it’s really supposed to be
It’s all green lights, we’re at new heights
Just close your eyes and help take on the world
[Bridge]
They say there’s no happy endings but we don’t ever have to end this
Just live for now and wash away the tide
We’ll aim as high as we can go and when we’re ready you will know
We won’t back down
[Chorus]
We’ll be just fine, leave it all behind
To show you how it’s really supposed to be
It’s all green lights, we’re at new heights
Just close your eyes and help take on the world
We’ll be just fine, leave it all behind
To show you how it’s really supposed to be
It’s all green lights, we’re at new heights
Just close your eyes and help take on the world
With me

This week we tackle a particularly challenging song with the help of fellow creative, Jay Bloodsworth.
If You Were Fat Lyrics
Verse
I’m not the brightest star in the sky
But you are
You could have had your pick of all the other guys
But you didn’t go that far
And I’ll never know why
Cos quite frankly I
CHORUS
Am an apathetic
Quite pathetic
You needing
Over-touching shmoe
Who needs
A little to much attention
I love you
Nothing can change that.
Not even if you were fat (you were fat x3)
Not even fatter than me (fatter than me x3)
Ooo can you feel it?
Oh, oh a little to the left now
-Solo-
Verse
And I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed
That’d be you
You could have chosen with your heart and not your head
So that’s what you chose to do
Which has left me slightly confused
Cos baby you
CHORUS
Are a smooth talking
Sexy walking
Woman with the power to get me gawking
Girl, the fact that you aint left me
makes me love you more every day
And I’ll keep it up until the end of time
Trust me girl, if you were fat I wouldn’t leave you
But in a personal preference kind of way
I’m glad you’re not

EPISODE NOTES:
Running out of energy
No batteries
Will I survive
If I’ve got no fight
Never seems to work at all
Running out of time
Don’t matter if I try
Will I survive
If I’ve got no time
Never seems to work at all
If I’m six feet under
Drowning in my thoughts
Will I survive
Do you know why
I can’t sleep at night
If my heart is free
But my brain’s locked up
Will I survive
Do you know why
I can’t sleep at night
(Chorus)
Got a blood running through my veins oh
Telling me to give up on the game oh
Telling me not to trust myself
Give up on myself woah
I’m unstable
Oh and a little too able
To give up on everything
So don’t put no weight on me
No weight on me yeah
No weight on me oh
Oh no weight on me oh
Running out of steam
Are you feeling me
Will I survive
If I’ve got no fight
Never seems to work at all
If I’m empty inside
And I can’t see a light
Will I survive
If I’ve got no light
Never seems to work at all
If I’m six feet under
Drowning in my thoughts
Will I survive
Do you know why
I can’t sleep at night
If my heart is free
But my brain’s locked up
Will I survive
Do you know why
I can’t sleep at night
(Chorus x 2)

This week Alex runs with the likes of Dylan! Surely Alex's first protest song is a hit right? Right?
Verse
There’s something wrong in the world today
Something worth singing monotonously about
Our environmental white knight Peter garret
And the fact that he’s completely sold out
It used to be that you couldn’t sleep
While our beds were burning at night
But you must have new flame retardant pyjamas
Cos you seem to be doing alright
Chorus
Peter Garret you went back on your word
You used to be the voice of those unheard
Do you remember the time when you sung about asbestos?
And do you remember the time when you sung about mining?
But that was before you sold your soul to satan
Verse 2
There was a time when it didn’t cross your mine
That selling the great barrier reef was fine
But I guess things have changed because
You approved a uranium mine
You used to know what your beliefs were
But you strayed from the path
All you’ve got now is a pocket of cash
And a bleeding heart
Chorus
Peter Garret you went back on your word
You used to be the voice of those unheard
Do you remember the time when you promised not to be a politician?
It never was a written law
But the things that you said lead us to assume you wouldn’t be one
We shouldn’t have assumed
-solo-
Chorus
Peter Garret you went back on your word
You used to be the voice of those unheard

LYRICS
Verse 1
'Yes you can take my plate’
‘Tell me how was your day?’
‘Douse me in water cos baby you’re hot’
These are all things that I wanna say
The food here is really good
And it’s cool that you serve it too
Ride the ski lift with me to the mountains peak
Cos there’s something that I need to do
Prechorus
Man your smile send shivers down my spine
It’s been six days and you’re toeing that line
Chorus
That twenty-something vixen
has got me skiing blind
Cos as I’m racing down the slope
she’s racing through my mind
She’s cleaning glasses while we’re falling on our asses
This is one skit trip I’ll never forget
Cos she’s the hottest waitress I’ve ever met!
I’ve ever met.
Guitar solo
Ah ah yeah
Ah ah yeah
Bridge
Her eyes they penetrate me
Her skinny jeans really do it for me
And her hair is black and silky
And she’s got a piercing
Yeah
Chorus
That twenty-something vixen
has got me skiing blind
Cos as I’m racing down the slope
she’s racing through my mind
She’s cleaning glasses while we’re falling on our asses
This is one skit trip I’ll never forget
Cos she’s the hottest waitress I’ve ever met!
I’ve ever met.
With a face like that
There’s no way you’re not taken
But that’s cool
Cos you make kick-ass bacon
(Left) Coffee, toast and eggs and steak burgers. Pies and chips. Chicken wedges fish and chips and Spag Bol. Spam and dips
(Right) Coffee, toast and eggs and steak. Burgers soup and pies and ???
The food you make is bitchin’
Now get back in the kitchen

LYRICS
I wanted to give you the world
Everything good for free
I cry myself to sleep at night
I wake up on the floor
I let you walk away every night
After we say goodbye
Even though I’m breathing
Doesn’t mean, oh no
There’s only air inside
I would never hurt you
But now you’ll never know
I know I’m not pretty outside or inside
But I still hurt when you say goodbye
That’s not good enough for you
You need something false I hate
I won’t change myself for you

The slowest song ever madeeeeeee! Autotune that would put T-Pain to shame!
Troubled Waters Lyrics
Verse 1
Keep it down
Keep them all down
Cos when the wind is rushing through my hair
The sound drowns you out
Look around and see
This aint how it’s meant to be
You’ve shattered my assumptions
Of life and family
Prechorus
And I don’t know where I’m going
Trying to forget where I’ve been
The mask has finished falling
And now I’ll have to confess what I’ve seen
Chorus
Troubled waters
Are trying to swallow me
But I’ll fight tooth and nail
To keep my sanity
Things just aren’t the same
Everybody’s torn
Abnormal appears to be the norm
Verse 2
Stay out there
Stay away from me
I’m safe in here behind my eyes
From your dishonesty
Things were fine
And then
It all went to hell again
There is no silver lining
It’s the reason that I pretend
Prechorus
And I don’t know what I’m doing
Trying to forget what I’ve done
The trauma’s broken through and
The only option I have is to run
Chorus
Troubled waters
Are trying to swallow me
But I’ll fight tooth and nail
To keep my sanity
Things just aren’t the same
Everybody’s torn
Abnormal appears to be the norm
-Solo-
Chorus
Troubled waters
Couldn’t swallow me
I fought tooth and nail
Now I know victory
Things still aren’t the same
But they’re getting warm
Abnormal appears to be the norm
Cone on out
Speak to me

Beach in Winter Lyrics
Surfboard’s ready
The sun’s woken up
Fuel injection
Power engine
Hanging five
Alone I ride
The beach in winter’s too cold
Going steady
Ever ready
Wave the line
Riding fine
Frosty weather
Never better
The beach in winter’s all right
Aloha to this endless summer
The bug that never seems to die
Or fly away, it’s here to stay
Doing the wipe out all night long
Raining over
Never bolder
Hanging five
Doing fine
Frosty weather
Never better
Raining over
Never bolder
Hanging five
Doing fine
Frosty weather
Never better

The boys butt heads on this song! Check out another episode live from the room where it happened!
Perfect Hands Lyrics
If my world ended today
Would you go back to his?
Cos there you always seemed so happy
A feeling you don’t seem to get from this
And I know that I’m not perfect
But we had that talk and left it in the past
But now it’s begun to grind all around inside my mind
Cos the talk was bout the reasons that we can’t
And honey, you’re everything I need
It took too long for both of us to see
I would never leave your side
At least that is the plan
But the question still remains
‘Would you return to his perfect hands?’
I should’ve known that’s how it goes
Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose
I did it wrong now everyone knows
Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose
I should’ve known that’s how it goes
Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose
I did it wrong now everyone knows
Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose
-Solo-
It’s not my fault, I’m not being cynical
You changed the game when you made it something clinical
I’m not an expert but that’s what you get
When you make a choice that you happen to regret
Cos my world ended today and you didn’t go back to his
And it might not be ok but I’m ok with this
Because….

This week we are sans James but we are lucky to speak to the incomparable Emma Dean!
Universal Models Lyrics:
I worked with this model man
On my first day I wanted to leave
Dress this way, act that way, like ‘a bimbo’
That’s how you’re meant to be
And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…
Don’t look there, look at my eyes
They’re blinded by how ‘cool’ it is in here
Cool blue halter neck and white see-through pants
is what I fear
And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…
(Oh I, I wanna get out)
And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…
(Oh I, I wanna get out)
CHORUS
Oh I, I wanna get out
And I don’t know how and I don’t know where
‘Universal Models’ oh now what is that about?
“Can I help you?”
Oh I, I wanna get out
And I don’t know how and I don’t know where
‘Universal Models’ oh now what is that about?
“Can I help you out?”
So by my third day my eyes were so glazy
Closed over by some shallow man
“Lose weight, think quick,
and get a tan”
And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…
(Oh I, I wanna get out)
And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…
(Oh I, I wanna get out)
CHORUS
Oh I hate you all
I wanna get my slow revenge
Every little inch of you
Must be broken, broken up so badly
Gotta gotta get out gotta gotta get gotta gotta get out etc
“Universal Models, can I help you?”

This week the boys dip a toe into the world of cringey high school rap!
This Good-For-Nothing Town Lyrics
Verse 1
Have you ever heard of chronic depression? I think I’ll use this session
to admit a little confession, to inform of you my
gradual progression, that is a simple regression
Deep into the open arms of unnatural obsession
But I ask you to excuse my discretion in this jam session
Well, rap session, but this level of expression
And sharing my feelings can bestow upon my listeners
An unexplained sense of aggression
To me and mine, so if it’s fine
I’ll take my time busting this rhyme
Sorry about that corny line
But this is my first time
Chorus
I’m sick of feeling down
Sick of this life, it’s button down
Just take a freaking look around
At this good for nothing town
With the most exciting place in it being
A karaoke place with the songs in Korean
I’m sick of feeling down
Sick of this life, it’s button down
Just take a freaking look around
At this good for nothing town
Verse 2
And it’s not that I’m a bad guy
I always used to think I
Was everybody’s white knight
Turns out I’m just a wise guy
Self-Deprecating small fry
I’m still dominated by
These visions form my past
that everyone has left behind
If I could get an MRI
If you could see in my mind’s eye
The monster that, within me hides
God damn, you’d call the FBI
Till then I guess I’ll have to try to
Cut the damn water supply
Say my prayers, try to get by
Until some decent help arrives
Chorus
I’m sick of feeling down
Sick of this life, it’s button down
Just take a freaking look around
At this good for nothing town
With the most exciting place in it being
A karaoke place with the songs in Korean
I’m sick of feeling down
Sick of this life, it’s button down
Just take a freaking look around
At this good for nothing town
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
Well I guess that’s all you need to know
I hope that you enjoyed the show
But take this in before you go
Got a problem? Let it go
The past can get you, I would know
It takes my pain, makes it grow
Even decides where I go
Hell I’m like it’s puppet show
And this all cliche, I know
It’s bitchy, whiney, even so
This tortoure Is my status quo
But I’ve only got months to go!
And no amount of Tae Kwon Do
Crappy paintings by Van Gogh
Trips out to the picture show!
Can change what I intensely know
Life will pick up when I go
Or I don’t know myself head to toe
One more thing before I go
This is Alex blood type O
Chorus
I’m sick of feeling down
Sick of this life, it’s button down
Just take a freaking look around
At this good for nothing town
With the most exciting place in it being
A karaoke place with the songs in Korean
I’m sick of feeling down
Sick of this life, it’s button down
Just take a freaking look around
At this good for nothing town
Outro
I’m sick of feeling down
I’m sick of feeling down

Who's that friendly face?! This week the boys talk with Aiden Bradley and see what he's been up to in the year since we last heard from him!
'Ignore Me' Lyrics:
My inbox is empty, and I'm out of friends
Woke up hurting again this morning, but it's all in my head
Empty shows and broken bones, these are the dreams we fought for
No money in my hands, no fuel in my tank
No one up on the dance floor
Turn your back and count to eight
and hope I go away
Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one
Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done
My nerves are on fire and my brain is fucked
But that's the way it goes
Try so hard to grab your attention
but it all goes up in smoke
I've got as much hype as I'm allowed
If it was gonna happen, it would've happened by now
Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one
Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done
We can't live on royalty cheques
but we're all right
Our rent is always late
but we'll be fine
Can't seem to catch a break
but we'll get by
Can't afford another mistake
so please just try
Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one
Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done

The boys are back in the saddle with another terrible song! This time accompanied by our righteous podcast father, Zane!
Flowers in a Letter Lyrics:
Intro
-Laughter-
Verse 1
Society dictates that we are weird
But quite frankly I love it
A normal person would ease it in
But jigger me, you shove it
Pre chorus
I love the way that we work in the sense we kind of don’t
I love the way that you put things in places they just won’t
CHORUS
Cos I’m your servant, you’re my master
You got the picture faster
Than the last person who had me on the chain
Misery makes me happy
And you’re paying attention I see
Cos no-one out there’s better at causing me pain
But don’t refrain
Cos I love it
Pop shove it
Verse 2
What I love about you is your mind
Imagination beyond belief
You come up with such creative ways
To cause me such grief
Can I just say the best way for a
guy to get his kicks
Throw away your inhibitions
Get a five foot dominatrix
Pre chorus
As you were yanking on my chain, I felt something new
To my surprise I’d found that I’d fallen in love with you
I told you that I love you but you shut that down quick
That night I felt the sore end of a flaming candle stick!
CHORUS
Cos I’m your servant, you’re my master
Crack the whip and I’ll go faster
I got rubber corsets on the brain
I sent you flowers in a letter
You screamed ‘Goddamn you better
not try that again!’
And I won’t try that again
Bridge
You’re in control and you know it
I love you but I can’t show it
In this day and age, it’d be too weird
The cause of my depression
Is that you are under the impression
That a mistress has got to be feared
(But never the less!)
CHORUS
Cos I’m your slave and you’re my mistress
And I’m in distress
I am scared that this is how it’s gonna go
This song is not a plea
It’s just so you’re on the same page as me
And one day you might love me back (ooo)
One day you might love me back (ooo)
One day you might love me back you never know
You never know
-Laughing-

Shooting star lyrics
Finding next piece ain’t as easy as it seems where do we go from here?
So many pieces left, only one space to fit them in, tear it all apart and start again
My world is spinning around so fast going to throw me off
Into the setting sun
When you finally shown I’ll be able to let go
Fall off this world into your arms
And the pieces of the puzzle will fit back together again, you and me and a shooting star
All the other times the only blood spilt was mine now somethings gotta give
It’s time to make that change time to start again, time to escape
And I ask myself am I having enough fun or is my youth being wasted by my young
When you finally shown I’ll be able to let go
Fall off this world into your arms
And the pieces of the puzzle will fit back together again, you and me and a shooting star

The Gale Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Father please forgive me
For I must have sinned
Please explain
You promised you would shield us
From your icy wind
Have my prayers been in vein?
Are you even there?
CHORUS
Cos the rain came down
Pelted from the sky
And the gale shook my bones
And when my father’s on the roof
And my mom is crying in the next room
And she’s crying
She’s crying
She’s crying
VERSE 2
I’ve called myself an angel
So strip me of my wings
But honestly what could I have done?
To warrant such abandonment
Even after everything
I hope, I hope I’m the only one
Sacred arms have closed
And heaven’s shut it’s door
Cast me down, cast me down
The world continues turning
Jack don’t care anymore
Just leave me lying here
I know you will
CHORUS
Cos the rain came down
And lightning split the sky
And the gale shook my bones
And when my father’s on the roof
And my mom is crying in the next room
And she’s crying
She’s crying
She’s crying
-Solo-
BRIDGE
I’m gonna spend my life doing it right
So I can greet you personally
That’s a guarantee, you’d better wait for me!
La la la la la etc
VERSE 3
Father please forgive me
For I must have sinned
Tell me true
What could I have done to make you turn from me?
Could it be I turned from you?
CHORUS
Cos the rain came down
Yeah and thunder shook the ground
And there I was all alone
And when my father’s on the roof
And my mom is crying in the next room
And she’s crying
She’s crying
She’s crying

After months of garbage songs, out of nowhere, young Alex hits the steep learning curve and spits out an adequate song! A loving pastiche of AC/DC
Intoxication Lyrics:
VERSE
It’s in my veins, it’s in my stream
It’s in my system and it’s working like a dream
Could chase away my conflicts quite easily
But everyday I make sure to take ‘em with me
CHORUS
Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)
Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)
My momma always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well
But mine burns within me like the fires of hell
Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)
Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)
My papa always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well
But mine burns within me like the fires of hell
Ooo intoxication
VERSE
Can lift me up but mostly keeps me down
At distribution I’m the best in town
It’s an addiction but its keeps me out of troubler
Could nurse one for an hour ooo make mine a double
Cos when I get that feeling I can be mean or nice
But just to get there, name your price
Cos when I’m in the zone consequences slip away
It’s just me and my mind and what I wanna say
BRIDGE
Everything just slips away
And if I could have my way
I’d be like this everyday
CHORUS
Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)
Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)
My momma always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well
But mine burns within me like the fires of hell
Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)
Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)
My papa always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well
But mine burns within me like the fires of hell
The fire’s the reason that I’m doing so well
Is it such a crime to prefer to be under?
Now if you don’t mind, I’ll solo while you wonder
(Hit me now! Yeah!)
Intoxication

(Don't) Call Me Pretty Lyrics
Last time I said it's no one or him
I was alone for two long years
Baby, that made me cry
Last time I said darling you're the one
Next thing I know he was up and gone
Baby, that made me shy
Call me pretty call me pretty
and i'll do anything
say you love me, say you love me
and you can watch me running
dont call me pretty don't call me pretty
if it dont mean nothing
youll drive me crazy drive me crazy
if it dont mean nothing
last time i said i've had enough
i was a fool i was in love
baby that made me cry
my little heart is so naive
my hopes get high and then you leave

Call me pretty call me pretty
and i'll do anything

and you can watch me running

A gut-wrenchingly cringey show this week. Our boys must endure a truly ridiculous song featuring lazy metaphors, spoken word sections and the most Nice Guy shit you've ever heard!
Like Bastard Like Son Lyrics
VERSE
Two figures sit alone
At a table playing chess
In the space far outside the world
One of the men
Has a burn across his chest
And thus our tale unfurls
The man in white
Shook his head
‘Worst game I’ve ever seen’
As the man in black
In one fell swoop
Took the white man’s queen
‘I’ll get her back’
Said the white man
As he banged his fist on the table
‘Of course you can’
said the black man
‘That is, if you’re able
For two times now I’ve taken your queen’
He leant back in his chair
‘Why don’t you just forget her?’
At this the white man stood up and
Knocked the chess board off it’s stand
He gazed in awe at his right hand
Where a burn mark was growing
The man in black begun to laugh
‘My virus has begun to graft
To the external tools of your craft
Your weakness my son is showing’
‘What have you done to me?’
Through gritted teeth
The white man cried in pain
‘I’ve done to you what’s done to me
My son, you cry in vain’
The white man fell to the floor
Hand to his throbbing breast
You cannot begin to comprehend
The pain now in his chest
‘You see, I’ve got this virus’
The man in black began
‘And before it inevitably kills me,
I thought I’d go out with a bang.
It’s a mix of bitterness,
Jealousy, selfishness and hate.
Of cynicism, malice
And that vengeful twist of fate.
Know that your heart and my disease
Have easily become one
I’m glad that I’m the one to say…
You’re going to hell my son
No matter how you fear
You’re going to hell my son
Your time is nearly here’
’Stop that now!’
‘You are condemned’
‘I’m not like you!’
‘To hell my friend
You’re going to hell my son’
‘Enough! I am my own man!
And I am not your son!’
‘Haha Oh really?
Erin, Diana, Emma, Joana
Your opinions, your minions
Your cold hearted deeds!
YOU’RE FURTHER ALONG THAN ME!
Further along than me!
You’re going to hell my son
You’re going to hell my son
Oh you can try, but when you die
You’re going to hell my son’
The man in white
Closed his eyes
He felt his world slipping away
He only held on long enough
To hear the black man say
‘You’re going to hell my son
No matter how you wish
You’re going to hell my son
Soon you will be finished’
And then the world was black
Until the voices of everyone the white man loved reached him
He body was bathed in a white hot light that pierced the darkness
And slowly he was pulled back from the brink of oblivion
When the man in white came to, the man in black was gone
Either chased away or destroyed by the light
He walked over to the chessboard
And saw that the man in back had taken all of his pieces, leaving only white
‘Hmm’
As the white man turned to leave,
he heard the sound of a thick liquid being disturbed
He lifted his shoe to his face
His sole wa-BLACK!!!

VERTIGO Lyrics
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!
[Verse 1]
Let's start again, we know where this is going 'cause it happens every time
(happens every time)
You'll shout, I'll leave and somehow you'll believe it will never be goodbye
(never be goodbye)
[Pre-Chorus]
I just feel lovesick, sick of this waking up again, again and again
[Chorus]
You got me spinning around and around
And when I pick myself up I fall down
It's like there's something between us and I don't know why
I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh
You give me vertigo
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!
[Verse 2]
What's that? Yeah right, remember every fight when you compared me to your ex
(compared me to your ex)
We kiss, make up
But then you cover up your phone, for every single text
(every single text)
[Pre-Chorus]
I just feel lovesick, sick of this getting back together again, again and again
[Chorus]
You got me spinning around and around
And when I pick myself up I fall down
It's like there's something between us and I don't know why
I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh
You give me vertigo
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!
[Bridge]
You got me spinning around and around
And when I pick myself up I fall down
It's like I'm searching for something I thought that I found
You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo
[Chorus]
You got me spinning around and around
And when I pick myself up I fall down
It's like there's something between us and I don't know why
I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh
You give me vertigo
Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!
You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo
You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo
You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo
You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

This week the boys listen to 'Little Box of Feelings' an absolute dumpster fire! Ans a spectacular example of poor songwriting structure. As well as deep chats!
Little Box of Feelings Lyrics
VERSE 1
Once in every lifetime
You stumble across
Something absolutely wonderful
And you hold it close
First one that you gave me was
Pure happiness
Followed swiftly by a sense of pride
And a sense of purpose
CHORUS
I should call you my little box of feelings
I should call you my little box of feelings
VERSE 2
Next one you saw fit to
Give me was love
And I gotta say I swear it came
From god above
You made me complete,
you made me whole
You helped me to enjoy my youth
Before I got too old
PRE-CHORUS?
For an emotion to be so strong
I’ve been waiting for so long
CHORUS
I should call you my little box of feelings
I should call you my little box of feelings
VERSE 3
Next in the box was depression
Feelings that called for immediate repression
Just to show I’m yours with which to play
You saw my joy and you took it away
CHORUS
I should call you my little box of feelings
I should call you my little box of feelings
I should call you my little box of feelings
-Solo-
VERSE 4
Emotions,
it’s all just feelings
When I’m around you my senses are reeling
And the cycle repeats I’m back on joy again
Call me niece but I can’t wait for love again
CHORUS
I should call you my little box of feelings
I should call you my…

If I could See Myself Lyrics
Verse one
I wish I knew what I was doing
but I've got no idea
I could lie and tell you I'm doing fine
but I'm walking in a straight line
and I always thought that I
could make it on my own
and I
should have known
Chorus
if I could see my self x2
in one year
if I could see myself x2
in ten years
Verse 2
I always thought that life would go my way
that I wouldn't have to stray too far from the road
have it handed to me on a silver platter
I didn't think my carelessness would matter
and I always thought that I
could make it on my own
and I
should have known
Chorus
if I could see my self x2
in one year
if I could see myself x2
in ten years

Things get a bit heated when James reveals how much he hates this week's song. Strong feelings ahead.
PARAMEDIC ZERO LYRICS
VERSE 1
My son makes me proud every day
Can’t walk the streets without hearing his name.
See he’s a sportsman, I say sportsman, I mean hero
Not like your son who’s just a paramedic zero
Everybody knows what it is my son does
And why shouldn’t they? It’s something you can’t forget
Your son may resuscitate but what my boy does is just great
He puts a leather ball into a net
CHORUS
Why are we wasting our money on heroes
When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?
We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it
Who really deserves the fame?
Who really deserves the fame?
VERSE 2
I wish my son could play as well your son can
He’s got no power in his feet, his skill is in his hands.
While your son was winning the game last night
My boy was trying to save some poor woman’s life.
(She went into) cardiac arrest
He did his very best
But this was just one he couldn’t save.
Her husband was distraught
He said ‘I really thought
She was gonna make it. And on top of that,
I’ve missed the big game’
CHORUS
(Tell me) Why are we wasting our money on heroes
When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?
We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it
Who really deserves the fame?
Who really deserves the fame?
BRIDGE
My son’s a major disappointment to me
When I look at your son and see what he could be
Using all the muscles except the important one
Making a mint on a game that little children play for fun
My son spent ten years of his life at medical school
Your son was in the right place at the right time now who looks the fool?
My son has seen awful things and risks his life for a waiter’s pay
Your son kicks a plastic ball round his mansion all of the day
CHORUS
(So just tell me) Why are we wasting our money on heroes
When there’s grown men playing a child’s game?
We’ve all gotta get our priorities in order, think about it
Who really deserves the fame?
Who really deserves the fame?

'RISKY' LYRICS
Lost in space and breathing slow
Risky woman won’t you leave me alone
Adventure forever my oh my
How can I help when I’m going blind
Talking to a voice I can’t see
And keeping my head well under siege
Running to the hills and fall on my knees
And you can take it from me
Cut loose unwind
Get lost in your scene
Why does it happen to me
Is that what happens when I take the lead
Lost in space and breathing slow
Risky woman won’t you leave me alone
Adventure forever my oh my
How can I help when I’m going blind
Walking the grounds storming empty spaces
Getting loud of the places
Shhh
Shhh
Snap snap with me baby
Crack back to ecstasy
You can take it from me
Is that what happens when I take the lead
Why don’t you take me away, far away
Where no one can here anything that I say
But you, and me, and him, and them
Alright
solo
Why don’t you take me away, far away
Where no one can here anything that I say
But you, and me, and him, and them
Alright
Risky woman won’t you leave me alone
Adventure forever my oh my
How can I help when I’m going blind
Going blind
Going blind
Going blind

The boys have gotten too comfortable! They've forgotten why they're here! A truly terrible song brings them back down to Earth.
'THE LITTLE THINGS' LYRICS:
VERSE 1
It’s in the way you kiss me
It’s in the way you wrap your arms around me
It’s in the way you make me feel when no one can
It’s in the glow I feel when I’m holding your hand
PRECHORUS
Times may be hard
But as long as I’ve got you to get me
Through I will be fine
I knew from the start
My destiny was testing me
Your heart beats ‘longside mine
CHORUS
The little things, The little things
That you do for me, that you don’t see
The little things, the little things
That get me through my day
You make the bad times go away
VERSE 2
It’s in the way you speak to me
Like you and I are equal
Like I’m a human being
It’s in the way you look at me
That makes me want to hold you
In my arms for all eternity
PRECHORUS
And you just can’t beat
That feeling when you find out that it’s
Not a one way street
No more defeat
I’ll know that I’ve won, when the day comes
I’m running down your street
CHORUS
The little things, The little things
…do for me, that you don’t see
The little things, the little things
That get me through my day
…make the bad times go away
VERSE 3
It’s in the way that we’re friends
The fact that if we made it anything
more it’d probably end
It’s in the way you give meaning to my life
And somehow at the same time
You cut me like a knife
PRECHORUS
I think on it at night
It must be in my mind, you’ll find
We’ve never had much friction
I know I’ll be alright
But I can’t get my head round the fact
You’re a walking contradiction
CHORUS
The little things, The little things
That get me asking why
You make me smile before I cry
The little things, the little things
That get me through my day
Don’t ask me how, you know your ways
…little things…

'WAITING' LYRICS:
Waiting for you is like staring at the stars on a cloudy night.
Waiting for you is like trying to leap to mars with no means of flight.
Every day, I think about you all the time, but I guess it goes unnoticed
like those colours in a blackout...
The light goes down, the night comes out
the queue disperses but I'm still waiting in line
the moon comes up, the day is waining
and I'm still waiting waiting waiting.
Every moment was wasted on your heart
Every fear became reality
Every time I thought about you "loving" me
I must've just imagined, like those colours in a blackout.
The moon is up, the stars are out
but clouds are forming, the rain is pouring down on me
but as it clears, the night is fading
but I'm still waiting waiting waiting
I close my eyes, its the only way I see you
standing there in front of me
I turn away, 'cause you're not really there
just like the colours in a blackout
Waiting for you personified infatuation
waiting for you helped define imagination
wasted hours i thought about you finding me
guess I never really mattered
like those colours in a blackout
I guess you just ignored me
like those colours in a blackout
its a shame, you could have known me.
and those colours in a blackout...
The moon goes down, the sun comes out
one day older, but not much wiser
but I know what's what, and I know what's not
so I'm done waiting waiting waiting
waiting for you.

KNOCK ME DOWN LYRICS
Verse 1
That’s enough I can’t do it anymore,
Don’t have the strength to pick my heart up off the floor
‘Cos every time I do
You knock me down
I change myself in every way
So those three words I’d hear you say
But baby, ooo baby,
You knock me down
CHORUS
Oh and baby when you break my heart
You really go to town
I set ‘em up
and you knock me down
I said baby when you’re breakin' my heart,
You really go to town
I set ‘em up
And you knock me down
Verse 2
I am going to lock the door
Not gonna fall in love anymore
Cos every time I do
You knock me down
It hurts enough to hear you love another
But when you say you love me like a brother
Baby, those times,
They knock me down
(Those times they knock me)
CHORUS
Oh and baby when you break my heart
You really go to town
I set ‘em up
and you knock me down
I said baby when you’re breakin' my heart,
You really go to town
I set ‘em up
And you knock me down (down, down down)
-SOLO-
Outro
Oh and baby in the dead of night
When there’s no one else around
I set ‘em up
And you knock me down

'REALITY'S IN MY FACE' LYRICS

I wish it was pillows
Pillows stained with tears
I wish on my dreams
I took your place
But that’s not the case
It’s all too real
Leave something to feel
Chorus

You know what you’re doing
You know all too well
So get out of my space

'ROSE GARDEN' LYRICS
-spoken word-
One more time, one more time
Verse 1
When the world just gets too hard
I go to my rose garden
And I sit and lat the fragrance take me away
I could spend hours
Lying amongst the flowers
And thinking back to a happier time
On the days when the world is grey
Chorus
Ooo x3
Rose garden
An escape form time and space
Verse 2
They always give me the time of day
So in my own way
I do what I can to help them out
Sometimes it’s a test of my metal
Living amongst the petals
You might call that girly
But I guess thats what it’s all about
Chorus
Ooo x3
Rose garden
An escape form time and space
Verse 3
Sometimes a thorn will make me cry
And I’ll wish that all those roses die
Keeping flowers alive can seem so futile
The pain may be real
But wounds they do heal
My flowers are always there for me
The feeling should be mutual
Chorus (key change)
Ooo x3
Rose garden
An escape form time and space
Ooo x3
Rose garden
It’s funny how such little things
Can turn my feelings, make me sting
Spoken word:
Ooo! Rose garden!
You’re an escape form both time and space aren’t you?
And ooo! Rose garden!
It’s funny how such little things can turn my feelings and make me sting, isn’t it?
But whenever we’re together we have the most wonderful time!
We have so much fun!
Oh I love you rose garden!
…Got any snuff?! …Any per chance?
Any snuff, anyone?!

'Walking Straight' Lyrics
Written by Nick O’Donnell & Floodboy | Performed by Floodboy
I’ve been walking around and stumbling down
with my feet firmly off the ground
The words don’t come out when I’m speaking
And I don’t know what I’m drinking
She lit a match and burnt my finger
and it’s only the pain that lingers
So I lie today and you’ll know the truth tomorrow
and the pain will stay knowing you now know the meaning
Hold on to what you’ve been looking for
Hold on too what you’ve been searching for
We were walking we lost our way
Saw a mirrorball wished I was there
So I lie today and you’ll know the truth tomorrow
and the pain will stay knowing you now know the meaning
I’ve been walking around and stumbling down
with my feet firmly off the ground

'NO WORDS' LYRICSVerse 1
I think the human race has run out of ways
For me to tell you this
But I’m gonna try to tell you anyway
Cos I can’t risk losing you
Verse 2
Cos you have the voice of an angel
And your eyes shine like the moon
You’ve got a warmth about you just like the sun
And a smile that lights up the room
Bridge
How it is I alluded telling you this
The answer alludes me
Verse 3
And the human race has still run out of ways
But listen please, I need you to
I want you to be with me for the rest of your days
That’s right, I’m saying I love you
Verse 4
And it’s funny how the human race will never change
Just like I won’t stop loving you
You’ll always have the voice of an angel to me
And your eyes will always shine like the moon
Outro
Listen to me please
I am on my bended knees
Listen to these cries from my soul
Please don’t let me leave here alone

LYRICS:
Tread Softly On Awkward Ground
Vs1.
Words falling from our lips,
Evaporate into the moment,
Thoughts falling from our minds,
Going nowhere
Ch.
Listen, hear the message clear
Let go of your fear
Cleanse your head
Trust your instincts and tread
Softly on awkward ground
Vs2. Same as verse 1
Chorus: As above
Bridge:
Touch Softly,
Embrace Softly,
Touch Softly,
Embrace!
Chorus x2 to end

'EMMA, EMMA LYRICS'
Spoken: 1, 2….1, 2, 3, 4
Verse 1
When you came here you had no friends,
I said your loneliness was at an end.
You meant the world to me,
I said nothing could ruin us and you agreed.
You said if I had a task
That I needed doing all I had was to ask.
So allow me to take the floor,
Why is it you don’t talk to me anymore?
CHORUS
Emma, Emma, I got a dilemma
I love you with my all but you don’t care I exist.
And baby, baby, you’re driving me crazy,
Cos every time I bring it up you get really pissed.
Woah woah woah
Verse 2
Not to sound cliche,
But I’ve never felt this way.
I loved you even when
You slept with my best friend.
Sometimes I wonder why I stayed true,
And I remember I needed you,
That’s right despite all the lies,
I never left your side.
CHORUS
Emma, Emma, I got a dillemma
I love you with my all but you don’t care I exist.
And baby, baby, you’re driving me crazy,
Cos every time I bring it up you get really pissed.
Woah Woah Woah
Verse 3
Our situations
Were never clear,
We weren’t free to date
Any time of the year.
You used me, abused me and tossed me aside.
Not to mention you tore out my insides.
Verse 4
You gave me your hand, I gave you my heart,
And with that same hand, you tore it apart
I tried to make you see,
Now you won’t even look at me.
BRIDGE
Maybe you don’t want
A man by your side,
All I know is when I ask
I’d best run and hide.
CHORUS
Emma, Emma, I got a dilemma
I love you with my all but you don’t care I exist.
And baby, baby, you’re driving me crazy,
Cos every time I bring it up you get really pissed.
Woah Woah Woah

-SOLO-
OUTRO
Call me a glutton for punishment baby,
Cos I still love you!
Emma, Emma, you got a dilemma,
Emma, Emma, you got a dilemma,
Emma, Emma, you got a dilemma.

Alex and James set off on their cringey journey through the past and what a song to start on. With low production quality and claims of immortality, Alex's song 'Amazing' is a good omen of the terrible songs to come.
