The Twang Album

Cooler than an ice cream sundae
Lookin' back we sure had some fun days
Since then I've seen the trees shed their leaves and grow again
I cruise along the super highway
Fact he said do you do it his way
Well you do your thing and I'll do mine
Like we do do most of the time

Hello... I'm gonna have my time
And hello... I'm gonna have my time

And if for some reason I should leave ya
Hope the things I did for ya pleased ya
Hope that one day you learn to spread your wings and fly again
And for my crimes there'll be retribution
I'll leave you to draw your own conclusion
About your life that was never true
And the loved one that never loved you

Hello... I'm gonna have my time
And hello... I'm gonna have my time

Cos you don't have to say
That the feeling's gone away
Cos I know that it left you long ago
And I still smell a scent
Of the times when I meant
Just to put one or two things right with you

Hello... I'm gonna have my time
And hello... I'm gonna have my time

Always be doing something
Always be doing something cool
Always be moving something
Always be making someone move
Like an infection
I lock you right into my rhythm section
Make no correction my friend
It's yours for the taking
It's yours if you're making some...

Hello... I'm gonna have my time
And hello... I'm gonna have my time

I feel the cold setting in,
I feel the goosebumps all over my skin,
I start to fear the worse, I'm feeling so low,
I shouldn't feel like this in my own home.

Feels like my teeth are falling out,
From all the giberish that's been pouring out my mouth,
What was i thinking? What was i doing with that milf?
My chin is exhausted, man it was time for filth.

And it's not a good way to start the day,
I know it's done me no good,
I don't wanna face the world, but i know that i should.
Tell myself I wont do it again, but i know i will be
lying in my bed my thoughts racing.
Like they always have been.
Like they always will be.
Like they always have been.
Like they always will be.

And i feel that chill back in the air,
Though i can't see no one, i feel their stare,
They've sussed out my name, know everything I've done.
And this could be our secret, if they just don't tell no one

And it's not a good way to start the day,
I know it's done me no good,
I don't wanna face the world, but i know that i should.
Tell myself I wont do it again, but i know i will be
lying in my bed my thoughts racing.
Like they always have been.
Like they always will be.
Like they always have been.
Like they always will be.

And the suns gone down and I'd love it to rise,
Lets me know that I've survived.
Every noise runs down my spine.
Keep the clock to check the time.
I need to talk, need conversation,
Rack my brain for explanations,
Need you here just holding me,
Shield me so they'll leave me be.
But that's the way I've always been,
And that's the way I'll always be.
And there's no fucking change in me.
Cause that's the way I'll always be.

And it's not a good way to start the day,
I know it's done me no good,
I don't wanna face the world, but i know that i should.
Tell myself I wont do it again, but i know i will be
lying in my bed my thoughts racing.
Like they always have been.
Like they always will be.
Like they always have been.
Like they always will be

Woooooah wooooah
woooooah woooooah
wooooooah woooooah

things have changed and iv moved on,
stories told so now im done,
yeah, things have changed and iv moved on,
stories told so now im done, yeah!

Yeah I feel better today, I think that shit was just a phase,
My whole outlook's changed, I've even stopped feelin' strange.
I can understand why you was mad now,
Why should you be the one who has to loose out, just cuz I'm on one?
I said "I'm always gonna have shit going on!"

I feel so much better today, chase the bad things away.

I was glad I turned the corner man, cuz I was sick of feelin rough
I was getting paranoid about the silliest of stuff.
I was at me wit’s end pulling my hair out, I'd just about had enough.
And all I needed was a hug and that little bit of love.

I feel so much better today, chase the bad things away.

And I really do feel so much better, I really do feel so much better.
And I’ve gotta find my phone to tell yer,
maybe even write you a love letter.
Eitherway I've gotta tell ya, eitherway I've gotta tell ya,

I feel so much better today, chase the bad things away.

And yeah I really do feel better and it almost don’t feel right,
So im gonna store this thought away for a bit,
And I'm not saying it aynt gonna be hard at times,
Cuz it's always your favourate top you bin,
but think man it could have been your skin.
And I think we might just be OK, but what does it matter either way,
cuz she's the one that's always there.
Yeah she's the one that always cares.
Yeah she's the one that always there.
Cuz your the one that always cares.
I love ya.
I've godda find my phone to tell 'er
Ahhh, maybe even write you a love letter.
Ahh, eitherway I've gotta tell ya, eitherway I've gotta tell ya,
Ahh eitherway I've gotta tell ya, eitherway I've gotta tell ya,
Eitherway ... eitherway eitherway ... (... lots of eitherways ...)

Well I've been wasting away looking forward to this
I've been rotting inside waiting for my big time
You point the way and I'll follow your sign
I got a devil in me and it's pointing to the big time
Well I got a devil in me and he's pointing to the big time
He's pointing to the big time...

Jobs to do, that involves me and you
If we get our act together we can push away the ghosts forever
Ah, push away the ghosts forever
Ah, push away the ghosts forever

So pack your bag, book a seat on the street
You got a lopsided view and a point where your feet meet
Home sweet home, I'll never leave it alone
I got a devil in me and he's welcome in my zone
I got a devil in me and he's welcome in my zone
He's welcome in my home...

Jobs to do, that involves me and you
If we get our act together we can push away the ghosts forever
Ah, push away the ghosts forever
Ah, push away the ghosts forever
Ah, push away the ghosts forever
Let's push away the ghosts forever

And now you feel that neon pumping hard like you knew you would
So push it
And now you feel that neon pumping hard like you knew you could
So push it
And now you feel that neon pumping hard like you knew you would
So push it
And now you feel that neon pumping hard like you knew you could
So push it
So push it
So push it

And I got jobs to do, that involves me and you
If we get our act together we can push away the ghosts forever
Ah, push away the ghosts forever...

Said it's always like that
You got good intentions and end up just being a twat
Seems to just do anything to get her laugh
It's tongue and cheek but it can come out brash
You wanna think of peoples' feelings
a little bit of tact is what you lack
And that shit that you were chatting to that bird
While your bird lies at home, just proper slack

Cause you're gonna reap what you sow
hear the voice of reason and you don't wanna know
Looking over shoulders and walking over roads
Gonna have to face this and see how things go

And it's never until the morning
You realise what upon you was dawning
It's too late, look mate the damage is done
simple maths if you'd have done the sums
Just don't say them gags
and realise that she's with those lads
and maybe if you just answered your phone
and listened to your girl when she said come home
that's what it would have took man
just that little bit of sense son
and you wouldn't be in this predicament
and you wouldn't be gettin' run
you better run 'cause

You're gonna reap what you sow
hear the voice of reason and you don't wanna know
Looking over shoulders and walking over roads
Gonna have to face this and see how things go

Uncomplicate this and try to keep it tidy
why ruin such a damn good party
so many just like you looking for somebody
They're lookin' so god damn' ready

Sat in the door, since no escape
plan your route to avoid the scrape
you'll bump into them and when you do
seconds out - round two
you always take it that step too far
every time you seem to raise the bar
every time you show my house would clash
the foolish move you pulled out for laugh
And it was funny once man but you're getting kind of boring
and you've always believed in karma
I guess it's time you start acting calmer.

Cause you're gonna reap what you sow
hear the voice of reason, and you don't wanna know
Looking over shoulders and walking over roads
Gonna have to face this and see how things go

Uncomplicate this and try and keep it tidy
why ruin such a damn good party
so many just like you looking for somebody
They're lookin' so god damn ready
They're lookin' so god damn ready (it's time to move your body now)
She's lookin' so god damn ready (it's time to move your body now)
He's lookin' so god damn ready (it's time to move your body now)
They're lookin' so god damn ready (it's time to move your body now)
it's time to move your body now
it's time to move your body now
it's time to move your body now
it's time to move your body now
ooohh...
ooohh...
it's time to move your body now
ooohh...
ooohh...

So uncomplicate this and try and keep it tidy
why ruin such a damn good party
so many just like you looking for somebody
well they're lookin' so god damn ready

Oi!

Say, who you looking at?
I'm minding my own business in the corner with the one we all call Spats
Says, My other mates are up the bar
Eavesdropping on your chat
Said you'd like to get to know us and we'll all be up for that

It's nice to know that we can go downstairs and play
It's nice to know that we can go some place to get away
Nice to know that we can go downstairs and play
It's nice to know that we can go some place to get away

Loosely dancing, peforming again
Nice to see that you're doin' the same thing
Too many lads with their hands on their chin
And thinkin' how many days have they got

Loosely dancing, peforming again
Nice to see that you're doin' the same thing
Too many lads with their hands on their chin
And thinkin' how many days have they got

Said Oi!
Don't you go anywhere I'm going to relieve myself and when I get back will you still be there?
And as I contemplate the night ahead there's something in the air
I got a feeling in my bones that I could end up anywhere

It's nice to know that we can go downstairs and play
It's nice to know that we can go some place to get away
Nice to know that we can go downstairs and play
It's nice to know that we can go some place to get away

Loosely dancing, peforming again
Nice to see that you're doin' the same thing
Too many lads with their hands on their chin
And thinkin' how many days have they got

Loosely dancing, peforming again
Nice to see that you're doin' the same thing
Too many lads with their hands on their chin
And thinkin' how many days have they got

Said Oi
I said Oi
I said Oi
I said Ohhhh

Just keep...

Loosely dancing, peforming again
Nice to see that you're doin' the same thing
Too many lads with their hands on their chin
And thinkin' how many days have they got

Loosely dancing, peforming again
Nice to see that you're doin' the same thing
Too many lads with their hands on their chin
And thinkin' how many days have they got

Keep loosely dancing...

Just keep loosely dancing, peforming again
It's nice to see that you're doin' the same thing
Cos too many lads have got hands on chin
And thinkin' how many days have they got

Two lovers stop for kisses on a wall
She asked him, Never leave me
He tells her that he won't
But the boy is young and foolish and knows it all
And he puts it about when he goes out
Stories they get told

And stories, yeah stories get told...

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanours
The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanours
The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes

And these lovers trip and stumble down the road
And on the grass they fumble round, like a flower their love grows
And by the flower grows a weed and not the kind you smoke
It raises up its ugly head, our lovers are in a chokehold
Two lovers, two lovers in a hold...

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanours
The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanours
The boy ain't no genius, he just keeps her on her toes

And I bet a bad thought don't cross her mind
And if it does she just discards it till it's gone away
I bet of all of her she sees, she feels
There's somewhere that she stores it till it's gone away
Till it's gone away
Till it's gone away

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanours
The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanours
The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanours
The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanours
The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toes
On her toes
Said the boy ain't no genius but he keeps her on her toes

Two lovers stop for kisses on a wall
She asked him, Never leave me
He tells her that he won't

Said don't wait up for me cos I'll be gone till well past three
Yeah it's one of those again where a couple's just turned into ten
I know it sounds it, it ain't funny
I've just spent the shopping money
It's not my fault she's too good natured
My mind's set on getting wankered
So I drink myself into a state
With a silly grin upon my face

Don't wait up
Say don't wait up

And she'll be waiting by the phone
But it was her decision to stay at home
And all my thoughts for her are gone
But my thoughts for HER are very wrong
And pulling weren't on my agenda
The fact I've got a bird just makes 'em keener
I don't care my tool needs shining
She looks game for a bit of grinding
So we slither off like slithery snakes
With a silly grin upon my face
And I...

Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side

Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side

Now it hadn't crossed my mind all night
Then the convoy went from blue to white
There's faces I ain't seen in ages
They're all out to cane their wages
Proper chuffed that we turned up
Cos a week of work can get you wound up
Jukebox has got a great selection
A little groove might ease the tension
So we bounce around like we own the place
With a silly grin upon my face
And I...

Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side

Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side

And if she was a fly upon the wall
I don't think she'd wanna be my girlfriend any more
And if she was a fly upon the wall
She would see me slowly drink myself into a hole

Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side

Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side

It's up the bar for one last round
One, two, three, let's slam 'em down
This night's getting pretty lairy
Geezers flexing, looking scary
Some lad tries to call my bluff
The silly boy, there's enough of us
It's a shame man it was going well
It's going off, oh fucking hell

We're fucked

Well, yeah, yeah, I think you've got me sussed
How I'm scared of stuff
Sometimes I act a little bit too tough
Forgetting that I ain't that buff
And yeah you've probably already sussed
That I'm prone to talk shit when I'm feeling rushed
And it all seems to get on top
And my brain goes mad man, it just won't stop
But I haven't felt well in days
But I did it to myself so I shouldn't complain
Think I'm heading for an early grave
I don't wanna die young man, I wanna be saved

I wanna be saved...

And I wanna be hearing the sound of your voice when I'm wound up
The choices I've been given, keeping me driven
You blank out the sounds that I hear, every time you pull me near
You take away all of my fear

They're trying to unveil my disguise
To uncover some truths and a couple of lies
Won't matter every tale told's been wiped
Cos when I get found out man a lie is still a lie
And I feel like they're all sizing me up
I don't know about my punch but I've got a pretty good duck
That's a certain way to come unstuck
I can't carry on like this man it's too messed up
And in the last year I've definitely changed
Since the panic set in I've never felt the same
Think I'm heading for an early grave
I don't wanna die young man, I wanna be saved

I wanna be saved...

And I wanna be hearing the sound of your voice when I'm wound up
The choices I've been given, keeping me driven
You blank out the sounds that I hear, every time you pull me near
You take away all of my fear

And I wanna be hearing the sound of your voice when I'm wound up
The choices I've been given, keeping me driven
You blank out the sounds that I hear, every time you pull me near
You take away all of my fear

You take away all of my fear
You take away all of my fear
You take away all of my fear

Your sat on your own, you hear the phone, your mother calls you,
you make a deal, you shake on it, but you know it'll fall through
at the scene your nice and clean, everythings sprucy
up the bar you grab a jar, then bump into Lipsy.
