God Save The King

All the shit you say
It compromises
Compromises the truth
All the things I claim
They never stick
No they never settle with you
Woah
Woah
I'm no human being
Woah
Woah
I'm no Steve McQueen
So God save the King
Woah
The conscience within
Woah
Trying to read the handwriting
On the back of your coffee cup
Just to remember your name
Picking up forget-me-nots
But knowing my luck
It was opposites day
So I'll sit on the sofa watching daytime TV
Masticating meals for one
But just like cracks in the concrete
The ice is tearing us apart
All the shit you say
It compromises
Compromises the truth
All the things I claim
They never stick
No they never settle with you
Woah
Woah
I'm no human being
Woah
Woah
I'm no Steve McQueen
So God save the King
Woah
The conscience within
Woah
It's only you and I
It's only you and I
It's only you and I we're breaking
It's only you and I
It's only you and I
It's only you and I we're breaking
It's only you and I
It's only you and I
It's only you and I we're breaking
It's only you and I
It's only you and I
It's only you and I we're breaking
So God save the King
Woah
The conscience within
Woah
So God save the King
Woah
The conscience within
Is this about to fold?
Is this about to fold?
Is this about to fold?
Is this about to

Lawns of Suburbia

You got a house and a family car
Work nine to five not a minute more
You mow the lawns of suburbia
And all your neighbours know just who you are
You got your problems but they ain't that bad
At least they're not enough to make you sad
You go around saying 'Life's so rad'
Tell all the people all the fun you've had
It's not what you've got
It's what I've not got
Don't know what I want
It's not what you've got
It's what I've not got
Don't know what I want
Don't exactly need your education
No 'plus 1' on your fancy vacation
I want your life but I've no motivation
Spending my time down at the radio station
I get by cause I think I'm cool
A PDF of my book of rules (downloaded)
And I'll eventually get my pool
What? Why? Where? When? How? La la la la la (What?)
It's not what you've got
It's what I've not got
Don't know what I want
It's not what you've got
It's what I've not got
Don't know what I want
Then one evening
I will break in
And steal your family car
But I'm not thinking
That it suits me
It's not what I really want
It's not what I really want (Got a house and a family car)
It's not what I really want (You mow the lawns of suburbia)
It's not what I really want (Got a house and a family car)
It's not what I really want (And all your neighbours know just who you are)
It's not what I really want (Got a house and a family car)
It's not what I really want (You mow the lawns of suburbia)
It's not what I really want (Got a house and a family car)
It's not what I really want (And all your neighbours know just who you are)
What I really want
What I really want
What I really want

Cold

I've got a feeling that I have to get some self control
Your information's on a basis that I need to know
I've got bad habits but for you I can give it a rest
So let's stop talking about you, you sound so self-obsessed
Yeah, back to me, I really think we need some time alone
My email's out of office, and my phone's on airplane mode
And now I'm on a journey touching down in a foreign land
With one spare ticket 'cause you said that you had other plans
Oh no
I gotta call you baby
I gotta call you on the
Telephone
I really need you baby
I really gotta know
How did I get so old
How did I get so cold
Old
Cold
Old
Cold
Tell me how to look, act, think, dress
Behave in a crowded room,
Tell me how to act in a room of glass
Without people seeing through it
Got me feeling good, 10 feet tall
Rock solid, sky high, yeah, number one
At the end of the day
When the sun goes down
I know that you had your fun
Oh no
I gotta call you baby
I gotta call you on the
Telephone
I really need you baby
I really gotta know
How did I get so old
How did I get so cold
Old
Cold
Old
Cold
I'm not somebody to love
I'm not someone you wanna be around
I'm not somebody who cares
But in the end, who is?
I'm not somebody to love
I'm not someone you wanna be around
I'm not somebody who cares
But in the end, who is?
So I'm standing in the shower,
Staring at a towel
Trying to sound like someone I know
Woah-oh-oh
But every time I do this
I remember what the truth is
We all need some self control
Woah-oh-oh
How did I get so cold?
How did I get so cold?
How did I get so cold?
How did I get so cold?
How did I get so cold?
How did I get so cold?
How did I get so cold?

Complications

Complications rearing faces
'Tryna send me to the edge
Nothing turns out to be easy
As anybody says
Fill my tank with inconvenience
And just watch me blow my head
DOA DOA
Lets be honest why complain,
But also, what else can I lose?
And it kinda occupies me
Cause I've got nothing to do
Turn my head the other way
Start taking no notice of you
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Times are changing
Don't get left behind
And I was thinking that you could be mine
Times are changing
Don't get left behind
But I was dreaming
Dreaming of you
Complications rearing faces
'Tryna send me to the edge
Nothing turns out to be easy
As anybody says
Fill my tank with inconvenience
And just watch me blow my head
DOA DOA
Lets be honest why complain,
But also, what else can I lose?
And it kinda occupies me
Cause I've got nothing to do
Turn my head the other way
Start taking no notice of you
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
