1. _ London Sun
Socrates ain?t got nothing on me when it comes to overthinking
Paranoid that?s how I prefer to be into the ground I?m sinking
Then you call
And you say
To me in your ordinary way
That you can?t
Help me out
Of the ordinary
[Chorus:]
You?re just like the London Sun man you?re over and done with before you?ve begun
And I won?t
Be like the only one who would stand there and smile and try to be fun
When I say
Hey baby what went wrong we go back to beginnings the story?s too long
To be told
Like you were the only one who ever got left in the dark by the London Sun
Hurricanes are blowing out my brains but my eyes are calm and hollow
Airplane stalls from the sky it falls you can read the news tomorrow
Then you call
And you say
To me in your ordinary way
That your life
Has become
Too fucking ordinary
[Chorus]
If you wanna leave
It?s alright
I know what it?s like
To feel like
Life is passing by
When you are stuck in the place you're in
Ordinary space you're in
I?m stuck at a nook in the place that I?m stuck in with you
Chorus (2x)
By the London Sun (4x)

2. _ I Am What I Is
Christopher calls me
He calls me complaining
He's already waited too long to begin
The world is on one side
And I'm on the other
And I read in a magazine
I am what I is
I am
Brian the actor
He caters on Saturdays
With cuff link and bow tie
He would bring me a drink
He tells me he sweats it
Like pig in a blanket
And I ran out of toothpicks
But I don't have to think
And I am
Oooooh
But autumn will come
And everyone loves you when you've already won
And I'm here to tell you that I don't care if up turns you down
Just to hear you say I am what I am
When I am what I is
I am what I am
When I am what I is
Katie is lonely
She lives with her parents
She saves all her money
So she can spend it in Spain
Her mums doesn't get it
She says to forget it
I told her we're different
But she knows we're the same
And I am
Ohh
But autumn will come
And everyone loves you when you've already won
And I'm here to tell you that I don't care if up turns you down
Just to hear you say I am what I am
When I am what I is
I am what I am
When I am what I is
Christopher calls me
He calls me complaining
And I am what I am
And I am what I is
Christopher calls me
He calls me complaining
And I am what I am
And I am what I is

3. _ Hometown
I trade all my sunshine,
For twin towers to hide behind,
And find you there.
When I left on that Sunday,
To come home on a Tuesday,
Well I never,
I never thought I'd have to see and watch the world explode
And I swear it was beautiful, before they sent those aeroplanes,
And I thought I would show it to you, just like my dad did
Hometown come tumbling down
When she came on a Friday,
I took her home the long way,
So she could see.
And she asked how they made it, and would they ever change it,
I said no way.
It's half of what you see, you none of what you hear believe.
And I told her that they remind me of Motown 60 Skinny ties,
What they thought the future looked like, where the Jetsons lived.
Hometown come tumbling down.
And watched it and we cried,
And we ran to the front line,
And some came home.
But I stay off the express-way,
Nothing to see there anyway,
That view sucks now.
There was I time the Brooklyn traffic couldn't get me down.
And I swear it was beautiful,
I hope they build them tall again,
Until then your imagination is all that you will have...

4. _ Something Good
Cocaine eyes,
Been living a lie
Looks like another big night on the credit card, baby
But you're makin' 'em smile
Yeah you're drivin' 'em wild
I could sit back and let you do all the talking now
Couldn't I?
I'm dropping round
Just you pretend that you don't hear me though
And I could be just what you need and you would never know
Your way to busy playing DJ on the stereo
But you don't spin it like I feel it though
The center of my mind is a dark place that wishes it wouldn't do what it would
(Do what it would)
And every mistake that I ever made saying I didn't do what I should
(Do what he should)
And if you wanna see me smilin' you're gonna have to
(Do something you never)
(Do something you never)
You never would
The bigger the size
The better the prize
Gonna get yourself a big bad life you's a cool kid ain't cha?
But you still got the style
That makes the company smile
You just sit back and let em do all the talking now
Don't ya?
You and your crew can shovel shit down at the money show
Sign for your life and they will get you on the radio.
Check out the line around the block and say I told you so
But you don't play it like I feel it, no
The center of my mind is a dark place that wishes it wouldn't do what it would
(Do what it would)
And every mistake that I ever made, saying I didn't do what I should
(Do what he should)
And if you wanna see me smiling you're gonna have to
(Do something you never)
(Do something you never)
Play something good.
The center of my mind is a
The center of my mind is a dark place that wishes it wouldn't do what it would
And every mistake that I ever made saying I didn't do what I should
And if you wanna see me smiling you're gonna have to
(Do something you never)
(Do something you never)
You never would

5. _ Desperate Songs
I know I'm a little erratic and sometimes my chickens are chasing my rabbits
Do you think you can stand it? I don't have the right to stand here and demand it
And just like you the paranoia keeps me up at night so late but
If you believe in desperate songs, I promise that one day I'll learn how to write them
And then you and me can be free, as long as we learn all our desperate songs
I know I'm a little bit spastic, but I build my castles with paper and plastic
You don't look like you can stand it, but when I'm done you'll say superfantastic
And just like you the softest earthquakes shake me out of bed at midnight
And if you believe in desperate songs, I promise that one day I'll learn how to write them
And then you and me can be free, as long as we learn all our desperate songs
Do you remember the panic
That you and I felt when the small was gigantic
And just like you the heavy metal keeps me up at night so late but
If you believe in desperate songs, I promise that one day I'll learn how to write them
And then you and me can be free, as long as we learn all our desperate songs

6. _ BMX Bandits
Over and under we ride
In love with the suicide
Here we fuck with disaster and
Careful is something to hide
So come give this trick a try
Push it faster you bastard and
Over this mountain you glide
No you're not gonna last If you can't push it past
Nicole
What's that you got is that a black Turbo Diamond Back?
A JMC Racing Bike?
Man I wish I had one like that.
Nicole
You stole my soul with your cute little bunny hop, your radical table top
Girl I wished you would never stop.
Nicole
I was only ten years old
Please leave your cell phone at home
It's just a broken collar bone
Walk it off you big pussy
And get your ass back on the bike
It's time to go lay some pipe
Or just watch me get nice
I'ma school you on how to get high
Then go home tell your friends how you bite all my style
Nicole
What's that you got is that a black Turbo Diamond Back?
A JMC Racing Bike?
Man I wish I had one like that.

Nicole

Nicole I was only ten years old.
Is there a love in your life
Cause I wanna be your wife
It's a bird it's a plane
It's a bicycle up in the sky
You didn't say you could fly
Now I know where I stand and I'm
Tired of life on the ground
Loose my soul when I'm down up your ramp I am Found
Nicole
You stole my soul with your cute little bunny hop, Your radical table top
Girl I wished you would never stop.
Nicole
You got this moto licked the Hutch kids are off the list all the Skyway's are being fixed walky talkies and stolen shit.

7. _ Truth I Tell Myself
You don't have to tell me that I'm stubborn
'Cause I'm not
And I know ?cause it runs in my family
It skips every other generation
You don't have to save my soul
Or make me feel like I'm in control
It's not worth the double scotch whiskey
That you'd have to buy me
You look like your surprised
Like when will I get wise
But I'll just drive them same dead ends I've tried
And I think I know why
[Chorus:]
There's no connection between what I want
And what is good for me
The truth I tell myself not to believe
You don't know I could have been some thin'
But I'm not and I know that it's somebody else's fault
Just like every other thing that's ever happened to me
Yeah I could have been like the king
Or like someone who could really sing
Folks would line up round the corner just so they could come n' hear me
There I go again
Them devils love their sin
Well they can't end what I do not begin
So I'm safe where I'm in
[Chorus]
There's no direction between where I am
And where I'm supposed to be
The truth I tell myself not to believe
Don't think that I'm expecting you to stay
'Cause you won't and I know 'cause I've seen it a million times
It's my charming self destructive disposition of I
Yeah all happy endings are for fools
Who feel like they will never loose
Folks, who think there's a God out there then that's gonna save them
I'll get this round my friend
And then we can start again
Just like we did when we were who we are
Have we come that far?
[Chorus]
There's no direction between where I am
And where I'm supposed to be
The truth I tell myself not to believe

8. _ Who Would Have Thought?

9. _ In the Melody
That night that you got on a plane to Los Angeles I turned back into the me that I was
That guy that would go out to buy a new porno and come back with twenty...the pervert you love
And as I drove I remembered that you made a tape
For me to play if I ever had a lonely day
I slipped it in and the Stereophonics came on singing about matches
Well at least someone still believes in the melody
I, I think that I've heard it already but I
I think that I must admit that as bad as it gets
Someone still believes
The sound of American radio's making me feel like I just killed my mom and my dad
These pop songs are meant to be simple so people who make them we take them and break them in half
But as I drove I remembered that you made a tape
For me to play if I my ears were ever being raped
I slipped it in and the Tragically Hip came on singing about matches
Well at least someone still believes in the melody
I, I think that I've heard it already but I
I think that I must admit that as bad as it gets
Someone still believes
WhhoooAAAAAAWhhooo
Well at least someone still believes in the melody
I, I think that I've heard it already but I
I think that I must admit that as bad as it gets
Someone still believes

10. _ This Island
I met the King of England once
But the guys at the deli back home
They don't believe me
I ride my bike all around
Round my hometown
Where nobody knows me
And they say that the problem is mine and I should take
Take a more positive line on the situation
When solutions are staring me right in the face
Yet we've run out of time
But if I do what you'd say everything would be fine
Well no thanks, I'd rather sit here and die on this island
Cash it in and stick to the end
No thanks, I'd rather sit here and die on this island
Can't you see than I need this to end
I had a dream about a song
It was so strong
It made all the rights wrong
But when I went to write it all down
Capture the sound
You won't believe what I found
Yeah it all came out bad, mad and sad when I played it
It sounded like, more like a fad that had lasted
A little too long that it had and I realised
That this was as good as it got
There's no snowmen in hell 'cause it's too fuckin' hot
So no thanks, I'd rather sit here and die on this island
Cash it in and stick to the end
No thanks, I'd rather sit here and die on this island
Can't you see than I need this to end
Yeah I thought that I knew who I was
What did I know?
Nothing, or all the above did I mention
Those hip new ideas that I got from you last week
They sucked all the life out of life in a heartbeat
And ripped mine right out of my chest
Right through
But you already knew that was true
Since you tried it the first time, in 1989
When you were the one in my shoes
And some asshole like you told you what you should do
When you do what you do
And you had to do it how he wanted you to
Have you learned how to live with regret
Yeah I can't get these things in my head
'cause if I turned out like you I would wish I was dead
No thanks, I'd rather sit here and die on this island

11. _ No Happy Ending Tune
When the summer comes we'll get on our aeroplanes and go back to where we came from.
Summertime
It's a surprise. But I think I'll survive.
When this is done we can have our loved ones back just in time the the new hijack.
Blue and black
It's a fact. It's the act we act in side.
Oh god how good would it be if you trusted me and I believed in you?
Oh god what good could we do? No happy ending tune.
When the summer comes we can burn our penguin clothes and go home
Where no one knows us.
Sunnyside
It's a sign, shinny like a dime.
When this is done we can die a thousand times all alone and unrecognized.
Summertime
Never mind. Oh I hate to say good bye.
But oh god how good would it be if you trusted me and I believed in you?
Oh god what good would it do?
If I believed in you.
If I believed in you.
But this is a no happy ending tune.
Oh god how good would it be if you trusted me and I believed in you?
Oh god what good could we do?
If you trusted me and I believed in you.
Oh god what good would it do?
If I believed in you.
If I believed in you. If I believed in you.
If I believed in you.
If I believed in you. If I believed in you.
But this is a no happy ending tune
