Verse 1 You smiled at me when we first met, you smile at me all the time I want to write you a thousand love songs, a million worshipping lines It might sound corny or sentimental, but we're mental and crazy in love Our madness keeps us from cracking up, our love is more than enough Chorus 1 To help us through the darkest days that life has to deal When nothing ever seems to work and crap is how you feel I'll be your solid rock of hope, your bright and shining light To guide you safe into my arms on the darkest of nights Verse 2 When you kiss me the world stops turning, when you kiss me time stands still When you kiss me nothing else matters, I love you and I always will So kiss me once for hope my darling, kiss me twice for fun Kiss me three times for luck baby, you're my moon, my stars, my sun Chorus 2 That helps me through the darkest days that life has to deal When nothing ever seems to work and crap is how I feel You'll be my solid rock of hope, my bright and shining light To guide me safe into your arms on the darkest of nights Please guide me safe into your arms on the darkest of nights...

This Song 03:58
Verse 1 Do you feel more alive when you're half asleep, waiting for dreams to kick in? Do the nightmares start when your alarm goes off and another day begins? You sigh when you hear a lullaby, Cry when you hear a hymn I laugh inappropriately at the sad parts in films Chorus: And we both like You've Been Framed and PopTarts And our love makes no sense to anyone but us And they'll probably never write a book about our lives But we'll always have This Song.... Verse 2: Do you promise to keep my heart safe? You take it whenever you're gone You take my love away with you and leave me with love of your own I cry more than I used to cry, turned into a more sensitive man You've made me a pretty good me, I've become the best me that I can (Repeat Chorus) You sigh when you hear a lullaby, Cry when you hear a hymn I laugh inappropriately at the sad parts in films (Chorus x2)

Verse 1 I don't know what I'd do without you I don't know who I'd be I can't remember life without you in it You mean the world to me Chorus: The world began the day I added you as a friend A love without duration, with no beginning, with no end I can't write a love song the way it's meant to be I just promise to always love you as much as you love (me) Verse 2: We said so much in just one week Never wanted to stop talking, never wanted to sleep I fell in love with words on a screen And I know you know exactly what I mean (Chorus) Rainbows, Twilight, kittens and shoes Beyonce, Pink, Rihanna, Robbie Williams and Muse The way I feel your bum when you're falling asleep My kisses on your back, pomegranate, crispy chips and (verse 1) You mean the world to me (x2)

I Love You 03:38
You snuggle up to me at night Stroke my leg and hold me tight Whisper something in my ear Those three words I want to hear I love you..... You watch the telly, paint your nails Find the bargains in the sales You go to work and I'm sure you see You're the only one for me I love you.... You make me laugh all the time Make me so proud you are mine Words can't say how I feel But you know the feeling's real I love you.... This song is simple, so am I You're so easy on the eye So let's make one thing crystal clear These words forever you will hear I love you.....

Alcohol 03:11
Whisky in the morning, takes the hangover away When it's light, I don't mind, it's a whole new day.... Beer in the evening, it's a bitter social chore When I'm drunk, I don't mind anymore..... Vodka in the afternoon, just to keep the blues at bay When I'm drunk, I won't fight, there's nothing to say...... Wine, wine, just about any time, the doctor says that it's okay When I'm drunk, I don't feel myself, just alcohol....

Chorus He can see it through his misty eyes And the fog created by the beers With her long blonde hair, tight arse and big tits She's the best shag he's had in years Verse 1 Jimmy's been in a band for too long And nine years ago became a star He got rich real quick, became a bit of a dick He bought a mansion and a big flash car But life of fame left him restless Tried religion, got no help from above When he thought he'd seen everything there is to see That's when Jimmy found love (chorus) Verse 2 Jimmy's written songs about everything He's had his hits played on the radio Filled out the Barrowlands, and the Astoria And always put on one hell of a show But sell out gigs aren't everything Or thousands of people shouting your name And for someone to cuddle at the end of the day He'd trade in all of his fame (chorus) He can hear the wedding bells ringing It feels good just to say her name For someone to cuddle at the end of the day He's traded in all of his fame

Verse 1 He can only make love to her when he's drunk She only fancies him when she's on E He hits her hard when he's not hitting the bottle She numbs the pain with her friend cocaine Chorus 1 The chemicals they take help to recreate Passions that are intense until they start to come down Then their tension explodes, and their world corrodes A cocktail of drugs to try to find love Verse 2 He gets out of bed before she wakes up She leaves a piece of her mind behind every time He drinks all day, an escape from reality She snorts and smokes until she cannot move Chorus 2 The chemicals they employ help to destroy The reality they had once perceived They spend all day trying to forget And all night screwing on an old damp floor 21st Century Love Fake and Intense 21st Century Love Chemically enhanced 21st Century Love Falsely orgasmic 21st Century Love Spaced out and bleary eyed.... 21st Century Love....... Give us another ecstasy please For the chemical generation All the drugs that we can find To endure sexual frustration Give us another line of charlie For the chemical generation If we can't find someone to love We'll kill time with masturbation 21st Century Love.....

There wanse wis a jakey, he wore a mingin auld coat He stank a blue nun an white lightning Ah didnae know his name, he looked like a bawbag He wis the basturt we hid a pyoor laugh frightnin Ma pal Wullie hid a dug called Tizer, who would shag yer leg aw the time We set Tizer on the old jakey fuck, that wis the start ay ma life of crime Some nosey auld cow peaked oot ay her windae It must've been her that phoned the scum Wullie put her windae in wi a corpie brick It wis aboot this time that Tizer did cum The auld jakey swore and hooked Tizer oan the gub Then the dug sank his teeth in his bawsack We heard the sirens, and baith ran like fuck Poor Wullie never goat his dug back We hid tae jump ower fences tae escape from the polis They shouted 'Stoap! Ya couple a pricks!!!' We ran up Wullie's close and loaked the back door And fae the landin windae showed aff oor dicks The scum were ragin cos they couldnae get in But we didnae know they hid a clever plan While we were giein them moonies, they sneaked in through the front Then they piled us in a paddy wagon van Noo I'm in the jail, daein the long stretch And I realise aw the stupit things I've done Me and daft Wullie baith goat intae the smack Ended up robbin Kwik Save wi oor guns The safe wis oan a time loak, and the till wis maistly coapers We shoulda picked a shoap that isnae fur jakes And the worst thing aboot it was when the lassie oan the till Just laughed and telt us that wir guns wir fakes..... Translation for non Glaswegians There once was a tramp Who wore a stinking coat He smelled like Blue Nun and White Lightning (cheap alcoholic beverages) I didn't know his name, he looked like a scrotum He was the bastard we enjoyed to scare My friend, William, had a dog named Tizer (red fizzy drink, and also a common name for Glasgow dogs) Who always humped your leg amorously We encouraged Tizer to attack the tramp That was the start of our life of crime A nosey woman looked out of her window I think it was her that phoned the police William smashed her window with a corporation brick And at the same time Tizer ejaculated The tramp cursed and punched the dog on the mouth And then the dog bit the tramp's scrotum We heard the sirens and ran away very fast Williams dog was never returned to him We had to jump over fences to escape from the police They shouted 'Stop you young ruffians!' We ran up William's stairway, locking the back door entrance And displayed our penises from the landing window The police were mad because they couldn't get in We didn't know they had a clever plan While we were displaying our nether regions they came in from the front entrance And took us down to the waiting police van. Now I'm in jail for a very long time And I realise how stupid I've been Myself and William both started taking heroin And tried to rob Kwik Save (now defunct grocery store) with our guns The safe was on a time lock and the till was mostly small change We should've picked a much more upmarket retail outlet And they worst thing was when the lady at the till Just laughed and said we were using fake guns.

He wrote his song for someone he once knew The random girl who made his heart feel blue The kisses and cuddles he'd never gave Yet to her heart he's still a slave He wrote his song for someone he once knew He used the chords he'd used a million times Structured verses in familiar lines "I love you, though you're a mystery" "You'll never know how much you mean to me" He used the chords he'd used a billion times He poured his heart into each and every word He cried until the ink was blurred He wrote his feeling in his A4 pad Of his hearts desire driving him mad He poured his heart into each and every word The songwriter writes, but he never gets paid He can count on his hands the money he's made With his battered guitar and rusty old amp His red letter bills and rising damp He sings to himself in his unlit room About sinners sinning and apocalyptic doom With his bottles of lager littering the floor The songwriter wonders who he's writing for.... He wrote his song for someone he once knew The random girl who made his heart feel blue The kisses and cuddles she'd never gave Yet to her heart he's still a slave...

Life To Me 04:29
Wishing upon a falling star, sinking in the lifeboat, crashing in the car If you won the lottery what would you buy for me? Forgotten dreams stored in an ASDA bag, a can of beer and a Mayfair fag The biggest mansion or just a cup of tea? There has to be something more than you can see Boozing all day to escape reality That doesn't sound like a life to me Hooked on pills that ease the pain, calm you down and destroy your brain If I won the lottery what would I buy for you? A Life Less Ordinary, Golden Eye, Ewan and Pearce will get you by A year in rehab, but would it be any use? There has to be something more than you can see Popping those pills to escape your domestic scene That doesn't sound like a life to me That doesn't sound like a life to me There has to be something more than you can see Everything's fucked when the real world is a dream That doesn't sound like a life to me That doesn't sound much like a life to me....
