like it rained for 40 days and nights, wish i was a fisherman taking in the sights and no fire burns and no child calls, trapped inside these 4 square walls - burning burning shellac, I'm burning. burning shellac with thick black smoke - heart in mouth I begin to choke burning shellac, what am I to do - burning shellac and it feels like i'm burning you. burning burning shellac, I'm burning.
4.	4. getting away 02:59	lyrics	buy track
settle me down to a ray of sunshine, cold outside, wind chills you to the bones. got no money but I just feel fine, though its cold outside, get me out of my home. Ch: taking the time to stop and think, too many smokes and too much to drink, getting away from the same old day, drifting past the coppers, i got nothing to say. LALALLALALALALALA..hey ho. settle my scores with my friends and foes, got no time to spread bad words holes in my trainers soak my toes, with a whistle stop drop, i'm seeing new things... Ch So settle me down with a ray of sunshine, though i'm lying in bed, head pounds with the pain. Got no money but i still feel fine, wake up tomorrow and start again. CH to end.

we came into this world, as normal people, don't care what the bible says, no one is equal, our lives are organised by other peoples goals, you got more money in the band, more bodies in your holes. what we want is (liberty), what we need is what we got is (adversity) I'm living in adversity in our lives, all our choice is pre-prescribed, the process of democracy is not a loyal guide, I don't know what to do, don't know where we are going, the worry is all the seeds that we are sowing what we want is (liberty), what we need is what we got is (adversity) I'm living in adversity M8) sometime in your life, gotta take the time we have all got options to live without the crime we are not designed and i wont be what you choose. we came into this life, i'm living socially don't care what the bible says I choose diversity.

everyone's living on a hotwire, everyone's living in the line of fire everyone's living on a hotwire, they cannot put out the liar police got guns and thieves got guns they cannot put out the brightest one - I'm hiding out of the sun. everyone's living on a hotwire, they cannot put out the fire everyone's living on a hotwire, still my heart is full of desire scaring the nation, with your talk of revolution

9.	9. black friday 04:30	lyrics	buy track
my sweet audrey - waiting on me sweet josetta - deep in love I see theres no Hitchcock calling for me my rear window, has nothing to see falling falling down, closing closing a black Friday - no pain for me closing down now nothing to see messages are raining down, calling for me am i up or down...what's my destiny colour is changing and the black is done, troubling with running is there's nowhere to run.

new sensations drift across my soul, liberty and freedom and not living on the dole, try my best at this and that, not trying to rule the world, got what I want, what i need, got whats best to ease my soul new sensations not that old alienation, went through a time of rehabilitation, try my best at this and that, not trying to rule the world, got what I want, what i need, got whats best to ease my soul rather have a soul than be watching flag pole... I gotta ease my soul
11.	11. killing time 03:26	lyrics	buy track
sitting in a rundown armchair, sitting in a rundown room. sitting in a rundown city, in an early tomb. waiting for the day to get here, waiting for the day to end, waiting for someone to talk to waiting waiting waiting waiting for a friend. hanging round the same old places, seeing faces we once knew - killing killing killing time killing in case i see you hanging round the same old places, seeing faces we once knew, waiting waiting waiting just for you. sitting in a rundown armchair, sitting in a rundown room. sitting in a rundown city, in an early tomb. working hard to make a living, working hard to make a life, working in a dead end shithole... work until i die.
