Verse 1

Well daylight greets an off green couch

This house should really get some blinds installed

Clean the bottles, pack ‘em up

The liquor tax could pay it off I’m sure

 

I don’t quite know

How I ended on your floor 

You seem pissed off 

And my fingernails are gone

 

Chorus

What you don’t know

There’s memories I don’t want to own

I bet you saved them on your phone, last night

I saw you walking out alone, goodbye

And everybody’s pissed off

 

Verse 2

Well sirens ring inside my head,

I heard the bang, clean up the yard again

Cause I can do it all, I can turn you off

An empty bag suggests it’s all my fault

 

But I’m not calling back 

And I know you’ll tell him that 

That I’m just like my old man

He’s the voice that’s in my head 

 

Chorus

What you don’t know

There’s memories I don’t want to own

I bet you saved them on your phone, last night

I saw you walking out alone, goodbye

And everybody’s pissed off

 

What you don’t know… x4

Is we’ll get some blinds installed

Verse 1

Caught up, I think I’ve had enough

Eating the thoughts of my first crush

These thoughts, like does she really care?

I heard you left him standing there

 

Verse 2

My head I think I got it wrong

But my friends they sing a different song

God bless, you think he’d really care

I heard you left him standing here

 

Chorus

Should I stay or should I go

If you had plans would we both know

You wouldn’t help me now

I heard you had it figured out

 

Bridge

My head is always lonely

Not bad but I was hoping

You’d catch me second guessing

Leave now and count your blessings

 

Verse 3

Maybe I’ll show disinterest

Torture would be a cleaner death

And she’ll scream it’s what you didn’t do

I’ll find a better man than you

 

Chorus

Should I stay or should I go

If you had plans would we both know

You wouldn’t help me now

I heard you had it figured out

 

Ending (x2)

Should I stay or should I go away

A big surrender

If I have all this love when I’m alone

How would it hit home?

 

And to abstain this love my lust of you

A big surrender

And I don’t know if I’ll be fine

Verse 1

And if you come up to meet me

Come up and change my mind…

And if you ask me a question

You know, if you took some time

 

My steel caps are made of leather

In the hope that they’ll get softer in the end

And I don’t know if I’d leave you better

But I feel there is some truth in I don’t care

 

Chorus

It’s just that I’ve been here for some time…

It’s just that I’ve been wasting my whole life…

 

Verse 2

Because I’ll fly off West Coast Highway, land in an empty block

And I’ll write off the work car, a thank you to my shit boss

I’d leave a note

Although I won’t

Insurance companies

They’ll give all you need from me

 

Chorus

But I’ve been here for some time…

It’s just that I’ve been wasting my whole life…

 

Verse 3

And if you come up to meet me

Come up and change my mind

And if you ask me a question, you know it don’t feel right

 

Chorus

It’s just that I’ve been here for some time

It’s that I’ve been wasting my whole life

Hell, at 25

 

I think I might

Call AMP

They’ll give you all you need from me…

Verse 1

Pulsar for a limousine

My baby craves ciggies over diamond rings

Keep my up – to make me wait

Even if I had you could I make you stay?

 

Chorus

You got all I need…
You’re my everything Kalamunda queen
Girl your hills are sick

I got a 20 in glove box we could get a drink

 

Verse 2

Your mother throws some filthy lines
But I think it’s that grit and grime that makes you shine
We’ve been good friends for a bloody long time

And you got me off that bender when old Brenda died

 

Chorus

You got all I need…
You’re my everything Kalamunda queen
Girl your hills are sick

I got a 20 in glove box we could get a drink

 

Bridge

Here my voice before we elope

I got 200 in the bank but my car is choked

And I could afford you with a million notes

So I told you I ????

 

In 10 years time

I’d be lying on the cold floor having a smoke, oh

K-Queen deserves every note

After what I’m feeling, this awesome feelingCause you don’t care…

Verse 1

You left me in the moment
You said this love meant something
But I’m holding on to nothing here
You’re fine again…

 

Chorus

I keep my tears at bay

I will romanticise those days
Whilst crying such a shame
You’re calling out my name again

 

I’m asking for a friend

 

Verse 2

Addicted to the feelings
Too bad we both didn’t feel that
But I know what the difference is
You’re cool again…

 

Chorus

While I keep my tears at bay

I will romanticise those days
Whilst crying such a shame
You’re calling out a name again

 

I’m asking for a friend

 

(GUITAR SOLO)

 

There’s something in the way

I will romanticise those days
Whilst crying such a shame

You’re calling out my name again

 

I’m asking for a friend

Verse 1

You’re holding out to make scene
Now I think we finally see
We’re caught in something we don’t believe in

 

Now I think you’ve marked the line

That trembles down my crooked spine

To think I’ve wasted all this time…

 

Chorus

I’m trying to do what’s right

Cause I’ll be fine again

Youth and young manhood has us growing into men

 

And I could say I’m fine

But there’s nothing left to give

I find the words to say before you dent me in my head

 

Verse 2

How’d we came the part this way

God knows I’ll miss you every day

Never thought I’d walk away

 

I know my love is nothing like before

But what is at the core?
Oh my love I’m sure of it

 

And all the stupid things we’ve said

I need some plaster and green cement

To cover up what we’ve confessed

 

Chorus

Trying to do what’s right

Cause I’ll be fine again

Well youth and young manhood has us growing into men

And I could say I’m fine,

But there’s nothing left to give

I find the words to say before you dent me in my head

Verse 1

Imagine just one line

We’ll take it to a better place
Well I’ll focus my words with time
So we can comfort ourselves with the space

We place between ourselves and the seed we sow

What does your garden grow?

 

So many angry boys…

 

Verse 2

Did we forget to breathe?
When we drove down to Serpentine
Hell I will fill all your dreams with sleep
So we could rest and never fight
It’s the obnoxious that make life bearable

If it weren’t difficult….

 

Then nothing would satisfy

 

Verse 3

I’ll ride with you through any storm
I know you can’t always be happy

I think you could do more, so just don’t

Sell yourself as just a prize
And don’t sell yourself as I

Or wear a fake disguise and I’ll be…

Your friend and brother for all time
And our last names may never rhyme

But I’ll be doing fine

Without you

Verse 1

Cause if we took back the time

To puke out our minds

Could we crawl back?

Cause these words fill the air

Thoughts that aren’t quite prepared

Please hold on

Cause I think you’re divine and I give up this time

You are all I want

Darling I am your man, you know I’d have no plans

If you’re not on board

 

Chorus

Cause you’ll find

We’re fine

Sometimes

 

We’ll throw punches

To keep good chat at lunches

 

Verse 2

If we could go back in time

To when you were not mine

Would you stay there?

Cause your daddy lives in East Freo

My mother was from Cottesloe

If I cannot afford them

The least that you could know

Is I think you’re divine and I work all my life

Cause if I am just the concrete

You’re the form and ply

I am your man, I can’t be who I am

If you’re around

 

Chorus

Cause you’ll find

We’re fine

Sometimes

 

We’ll throw punches

To keep good chat at lunches

 

Bridge

Countless months turn into years

Of bingeing Offspring, wiping tears for fun

And we’ll go out and we’ll get drunk

And in the morning I’m no fun

You’re up at eight, I’m on the mend

You’re begging me to start again

Pull me out of my big stink

You’re in my corner suddenly

The only time I had to try

Was when you cried when Patrick died

I lied…

And said he’d been cast in a different scene…

Do you think that she’d cry for me?

Verse 1

Cause I’ve been feeling incompetent

Since you got on top of it

Got nothing to lose

 

And when your plane hit the ground

It’s not the girl that I found

It was somebody new

 

Verse 2

I’m stressed out of my mind

Cause you know that I’d find it

Somebody true

 

You know I meant what I said, though

I said what she meant

Even though it was dog shit…

 

She sang –

 

Chorus (x2)

You say that you want me

And you’re keeping score

And I’ll say it a little louder

Girl I want it more

Cause I’ve been feeling incompetent

Since you got on top of it

Got nothing to lose

Cause you know that I’d find it

Somebody new

 

You know I meant what I said, though

You say that you want me

And you’re keeping score

And I’ll say it a little louder

Girl I want it more

 

Ending (x2)

You say that you want me

And you’re keeping score

And I’ll say it a little louder

Girl I want it more

 

No more…

No more…

 

Not giving in
