Someone get a gun and shot my alarm clock I think I've earned some peace for F*@$ sake I've had my share of selling our best stock And after all this I've earned the break But no and after morning tea I find My mail loaded with spam And then on my ritual journey I find Another traffic jam CHORUS Reasons to be cheerful Cos who says life ain't fun I got so many reason to be cheerful but this ain't one Something went wrong and now the laptop is messed and It's baffling the slackers down at IT How can they ever even claim to be stressed When It's obvious they don't work half as much as me Unlike them I have to pull my weight Just for just for the company I don't care if they don't have my estates My private helicopter and my four Ferraris CHORUS Reasons to be cheerful Cos who says life ain't fun I got so many reason to be cheerful but this ain't one So what if I'm to blame for causing the credit crash We're all in this together you and me And now my millions don't make such a splash And yet no one seems to give a damn about me And now you want my bonus as well Just for just for my little mistake I don't see why I should be put through hell Just for the scroungers of society's sake CHORUS Reasons to be grateful Cos we all know I've bin shunned I guess I'll take my bonus from your pension funds Reasons to be cheerful Reasons to be cheerful I just found one Reasons to be cheerful I just found one

VERSE 1 Here I stand Suitcase and guitar in hand These tunnels in my stride PC Don Tells me that I must move on And take a walk outside CHORUS But Here am I On The underground And that wont change No no that wont change Without the light I have clearer insight Into the world The world we live in VERSE 2 Half past three The tunnels have their symphony And I am not alone Passers by Give me just enough to buy A Coffee and a scone CHORUS VERSE 3 No suns glare People do not pry and stare And I can live my life But I have my fans Who don't ignore my one man band And help me through my strife CHORUS

VERSE 1 This it would seem is something we're doomed to repeat Until the end of time You wont rest until you know that your task is complete Until you know that I'm A carbon copy of your perfect mind You wont rest until I'm one of your kind But CHORUS (main) I will tell you why Oh yes I will tell you Thanks for the warnings on my mental health But there's nothing to gain by losing myself So you might as well leave me up here on the shelf Where I belong VERSE 2 So many times that I've bin labeled the fool Because I disagree With all the "sincere" and "helpful" advice of your rules Of how I really should be Now I don't expect you to understand As ignorance and arrogance go hand in hand But CHORUS (main) I will tell you why Oh yes I will tell you Thanks for the warnings on my mental health But there's nothing to gain by losing myself So you might as well leave me up here on the shelf Where I belong VERSE 3 I don't know why you expect my to follow the crowd And dig the latest trends Why is it wrong to express my opinions allowed Why should I have to pretend So I impress your friends who would cast me away for my looks, my character or something I'd say CHORUS (altered) Alone I can be myself Not disown a part of my Self is important for my peace of mind Though I value your friendship I'm much more inclined To those who except me than those who are blind Of who I am VERSE 1and CHORUS (main) repeat

The city streets The neon lights Oh wont you see the show tonight You know you're looking for the best The billboards high Their words don't lie A hundred things to see before you die And this is better than the rest Oh yes CHORUS Welcome to advertising world my friend I hope you come to stay with us again Oh wont you sell your soul today You can always buy a new one anyway And we always have good religion on display No need for stress You can impress The girls so much they'll instantly undress When you purchase our brand new ride Cos with this car You'll become a star Though practically it wont get you very far But you can ride around in style For three gallons a mile CHORUS Welcome to advertising world my friend I hope you come to stay with us again Oh wont you sell your soul today You can always buy a new one anyway And we always have good religion on display You can't disgrace The human race With the botox you need to brace your face You can always you half your age Boob job extreme You'll reign supreme Still be every teenage boys wet dream At the age of ninety five provided you're still alive CHORUS Welcome to advertising world my friend I hope you come to stay with us again Oh wont you sell your soul today You can always buy a new one anyway And we always have good religion on display

I haven't been gone long but at times like this it feels like many years So many things gone wrong but I know I can't afford to show my fears A glass of wine, some throw away lines were all I used to need to make you smile But closer ties, unforgiven lies has shown to me that that's no longer your style CHORUS 1 I held close to my heart all that you have done for me You know I never expected any kind of sympathy All I asked of you was for a little understanding And if you knew how hard I try You couldn't deny that I could Say we're even Say we're even So say I'm to blame even though in my place you would have done the same But it was always your game so the role of victim was always yours to claim Another set, another threat, another bet to make me call your bluff Another crime buried in time, and now I know that I have had enough CHORUS 2 I can't shake from my mind all that you have done to me You're a fool if you expected any kind of sympathy All I asked of you was for a little understanding But with all the games you play Give me a single reason to Say we're even Say we're even The curl of your lips once so appealing now seem to have lost their grip The sway of your hips from where sensuality flowed it now just seems to drip And you know why, don't try to lie, there's only so far any man can go When pushed aside to suit your pride, it can't be long before the bitterness grows CHORUS 3 I can't shake from my mind all that you have done to me You're a fool if you expected any kind of sympathy When you never even offered me the slightest understanding But with all that you have done Give me a single reason to Call us even Call us even

Sun shines through the window on the nights aftermath Where Drunken procreation met with heightened expectations You feel like you need to write your own epitaph She just says that she don't care, you cannot match with her despair As usual as you rise your head begins to throb And you make the same old promise that you'll never drink again Across the rustling sheets you can still hear her sobs What on earth had she bin thinking, she could not explain CHORUS No no don't look at me Just don't look at me It's more than just the hangover, the hangover Why why why can't you see what you've done to me It's more than just the hangover, the hangover She describes in detail just what happened that night With memory as clear as day, It's for sure that you lead her astray You have no idea but she just knows that she's right It really is a rarity for a drunk to have such clarity And gossip with the girls sorts out just who's to blame It's obvious from the way you act that you give her no respect She should have learned by now that men are all the same They're all bastards, they're all creeps, what more should she expect CHORUS No no don't look at me Just don't look at me It's more than just the hangover, the hangover Why why why can't you see what you've done to me It's more than just the hangover, the hangover Video as you know is such a beautiful thing As evidence of a crime there is so little that compares The footage shows the party a it's in full swing And you're the helpless bastard that she's dragging up the stairs CHORUS (x2)

You say you are the word of spoken truth And I hear you say you've found the proof You twist the lines of ancient text And use it to hang the noose around our necks Your followers are naught to you but sheep Their service is your harvest to reap Drawn to you by your wisdom's guiding light So blinding that you rob them of their sight CHORUS 1 And then you finish building your temple of ignorance And the greatest power will be at your command And all those that follow you Will never understand You say that he's watching us from above You speak of a world of peace and love But all you ever do is hate And tell the rest of us we're already too late You brand us all for our "evil" crimes And say justice will make us pay in time But really who are you to tell Which of us are damned to burn in hell CHORUS 2 And so you fortify your temple of ignorance As the enemy close in on all sides And All those who follow you Will try to stem the tides You beat your followers till their souls are all but dead So you can plant you're rage inside their heads You conceal the signs of their delusion And spur them on to bloody revolution CHORUS 3 And then you will return to your temple of ignorance With all their blood stained on your hands You know that they'll never find Your spoken promised lands

VERSE 1 Hanging on the line Been waiting all this time Just to talk to you A question in my mind That I really need To say to you CHORUS But am I wasting all my time Should I go find someone else And even if you answer Will you ever be able to help VERSE 2 Hanging on the line Only company the whine Of the engaged tone Outside the sun shines but I'm stuck in here Strapped to this telephone CHORUS But am I wasting all my time Should I go find someone else And even if you answer Will you ever be able to help VERSE 3 How long has it been Always seems to be like the same scene Repeated over... and over... and over What's the message mean How long must I wait Until it's over... over... over CHORUS But am I wasting all my time Should I go find someone else And even if you answer Will you ever be able to help VERSE 1 (repeat) Hanging on the line Been waiting all this time Just to talk to you A question in my mind That I really need To say to you CHORUS 2 I'm gonna keep hanging on the line I don't care what people say Cos even if it seems you can't be mine I'm still gonna love you anyway

Hello can you hear me I'm standing right in front of you Your thoughts are a mystery to me Cos you never let them through We used to have conversations Long before they arrived But now there's no consolation Now you've left the world behind Now you've left the world behind So how high will you go Cos when that light shines on you're face It seems that you are lost in space So please don't waste my time Cos if you don't want me in your life Would you please just let me know so I can let you go Hello can you hear me I'm sorry I don't have a clue You don't seem to comprehend me So there's nothing I can do And tapping nails on the keyboard Are all that we have now So let me ask just for the record When will you come down When will you come down So how high will you go Cos when that light shines on you're face It seems that you are lost in space So please don't waste my time Cos if you don't want me in your life Would you please just let me know so I can let you go Why'd you invite me here If you do not wish to speak Your signal is loud and clear But not the format that I seek So why don't you talk to me why don't you talk to me So how high will you go Cos when that light shines on you're face It seems that you are lost without a trace So please don't waste my time Cos if you don't want me in your life Would you please just let me know so I can let you go
