Jebediah Album

where you going
what's your scene
saw your face in a magazine
hanging out with the kings and queens
hail the teenage royalty

you just keep lying to yourself
you're better than everyone else
keep saying it over again

everybodies selling souls
where it's headed no one knows
screw education get on the dole
give it up for rock n roll

all this talk 'bout the better band
this is getting out of hand
what's it matter understand
you don't want to you don't want to

you just keep lying to yourself
you're better than everyone else
keep saying it over again....and over again oh N.D.C N.D.C N.D.C N.D.C

Thought police have busted in
And broken up and stolen almost everything
They've a job to do a special mission
To reinstate their point of view
It's in with the old order out with the new

They're the guys that wrote that song
That's been playing on the airwaves all day long
It's a catchy tune hummable melody
And you can't drive it from your brain
It's got a chorus that repeats over and over again

Window, opportunity
I got a message and it comes for free
There's another way that way is real
But you just won't get it till the walls fall down

Now brains and emotion have never been friends
If you ask my opinion it always depends
Better hang on to what you go

Now love and confusion have always been true
I hate to break the illusion but what can you do
Better hang on to what you got

You had girl you'd give anything for
One more chance
But you threw it away
You've got yourself to blame

Now i've never been one for giving advice
In a strange situation don't start thowing dice
Better hang on to what you got

There will never be an ending but there's always change so all the things that you’re defending
have been rearranged but it's so hard to talk to you you’re never there
With my adjusted way of thinking I shouldn't care

Now I know that nothing lasts forever so long everything's going to be that much better now I know that nothing lasts
forever everything's going to be that much better you're the one that should be saying sorry all you ever did was make me want to talk to you

These are moments I can't get over so how can you ever look over your shoulder
Find something new or are you playing best defence with armour on you can only take a beating
Don't prove me wrong

Now I know that nothing lasts forever so long everything's going to be that much better now I know that nothing lasts
forever everything's going to be that much better you're the one that should be saying sorry all you ever did was make me want to talk to you

And that's why when we talk about the past I could sit with you for hours
And that's why I say that we'll never be the same but I can't explain forever
Nothing ever stays the same feelings just get in the way
Every hour of every day when there's no more left to say
You can watch your colours fade but you can't sit still forever
You can't sit still

It's all over and been, I'm not lesser within won't change anything so stop worrying

One night to make it up
One night to break it up
One thing that takes me away
One reason to make it ok
I like the things of old
Like a night on sixties soul

One night to make it up
One reason is never enough
There's a way to live
and there's a way of dying

One thing that I can't stand
Another jealous big hair band
One thing that I hate most
Your hurting the ones close oh no

Don't like the way you look
Don't want to read your book
Spat in the hand I shook
Don't want your new hook
There's a way to live
and there's a way of dying out

Contradiction is my name
When I fall down and I get up it both feels the same
When you play thier game
It all feels the same

And the time for choosing's now
What will you do

I'm telling you
This is too good to be true
When the most we have to do is open windows

So just let your worries down
In a smile man loose that frown
Yeah we'll both still be around come the morning

When summer ends
She just wants to be friends
Her mind's mixed up
Got a year to go til next october
To make sure the season's not over
Get me straight and get me sober again

Are you joking
We got almost everything
You don't pay that bird to sing out the daytime

And the sun sets on the beach
I could swear it's trying to reach
With two golden hands as if to try and touch you

Yesterday when I was brave
I didn't fold I didn't cave
Gave freedom to every slave
I'd ever harboured

Yesterday when I was strong
I made a right of every wrong
That had been around so long
I'd just got used to

Where do you go
Who do you keep running from
The world has only kept you down

Yesturday when I was brave
I saw a future I could save
Nothing that stood in my way
Could ever stop me

Yesturday anything was
A posssibility because
I believed it so it was
That nothing broke me

He wakes up cold in the morning
Another day on the run
Making sure his double life
Don't come undone

His hands are full but there's nothing
To show for every late night
Spent running from his shadow
Just get it right Just get it right

Now you're in further than you've ever been before
Little big lie
Further than you've ever been before
Just another little lie

A nervous walk through the city
He got to cover his tracks
Check for familiar faces
Better watch your back

He got no rest now he's wicked
Just toss and turn every night
Going over his stories
To get em right just get it right

That's what I'm talk'n about fucker
A great big dirty lie

Going through these old scrapbooks
Its where the pasts been laid to rest
Innocence clashes with ambition puts it to the test

Now it's over
And this is where we've arrived
Most others would just be
Happy that they'd survived
Coz they all want it they want it
But they just don't get it now

Cutting through all the late night stoned up talking of beingblessed
Sure life's got complicated but someday babies must be dressed

Now we've been there
And this is where we've arrived
Most others would just be
Happy that thaey'd survived
Cos they all want it they want it
But they just don't get it now

Get a grip on your true friends
Collect your conciousness
Then maybe

If you want it you want it
You just might get it

Come and take a drive out of the city
Packed some smoke and some wine in an esky
Got to get the hell out of the suburbs
Hit the open road where the air's pure

And if the sun doesn't fall on your shoulder
As we make our way south past the beach
Then I could die a million deaths of dissapointment
I promised you your best times would be spent with me

Even in my car it shouldn't take long
We'll find a nice looking pier to park our chairs on
Leave the trouble of distance behind us
Thow in fishing rods gotten for christmas

We'll make good time
Taking it easy
Cos we can

You are everything
Everything you are
You bleed like a saint
To shine like a star
I am everywhere you are when I can
Front row every show
I'm your biggest fan

When everything
Gets blown away
Bouncing off the walls
My heart ricochets
While soundwaves speed
Right through my veins
My face hits the floor
Its happening again

Pass this message on
It's for you from me
For nobody else
Just for you to see
My lifes soundtrack is in your hands
Don't go anywhere
Don't make any plans

Remember the curse we called sixteen
And that summer was the hottest it had ever been
We went walking just walking through those brown brick rows
Called the suburbs the only world that anyone there knows

You almost lost your balance walking the fence
One side was cold like ice the other hot like fire
Events spiralled just like some baltic ballet
And given half the chance to do it over could you
Do it again

Remember the joy we called eighteen
And that summer we were more drunk than we'd ever been
And the night time always heralded something new
And the only thing we needed was me and
Just me and you

Yea I was singing your tune
Every afteroon
I kept on singing your tune
Remember
Do you

Only you could love this
I got a gut when I sit down
It seems that you don't even care at all
And those summer tunes can make you forget almost anything you want to
