Never Grow Up
02:38
|
|||
One of these days you’re gonna finish high school
You’ll grow older too quick and you’ll feel uncool
Working through college to try to buy your own house
Storing all your cheese like a busy little mouse
I I I don’t wanna ever grow up
I I I don’t wanna be a boring grown up
I I I don’t wanna live with a foot in the grave
I I I don’t wanna feel like dying to escape
So let’s never grow up
Never grow up
All of my friends are having lots of babies
I’m content that my pets don’t have rabies
You really don’t need to have kids to make it
The worst thing is having them and trying to fake it
I I I don’t wanna ever grow up
I I I don’t wanna be a boring grown up
I I I don’t wanna live with a foot in the grave
I I I don’t wanna feel like dying to escape
So let’s never grow up
Never grow up
If it doesn’t feel right
Don’t do it
If you just wanna fight
Don’t do it
You don’t have to be respectable
Don’t do it
You just have to be dependable
So let’s do it

Growing Pains
03:16
|
|||
We were lost at one stage on Lygon Street
I dragged you around on your sore, broken feet
I had a list of people for you to meet
You kept pressing on, you didn’t miss a beat
Growing pains they keep us whole
Shiny things won’t matter when we’re old
You can only try to survive this dying race
I just hope I’ll always see your pretty face
Our tattoos from Fitzroy are starting to scab
Maribrynong to Brunswick Street was a really long cab
We’ve met best friends, new babies and family too
It feels like we might die before this visiting is through
Growing pains they keep us whole
Shiny things won’t matter when we’re old
You can only try to survive this dying race
I just hope I’ll always see your pretty face
You set down your engagement ring on a pub’s bathroom sink
We were jet lagged and worn out it was difficult to think
We made the report on Sydney Road with the Victorian Police
It makes you see what’s important when you meet a thief
Growing pains they keep us whole
Shiny things won’t matter when we’re old
You can only try to survive this dying race

Trash
03:38
|
|||
My heart is a kicked around balloon but it’s full of you
You’re helping me float up and not sink into the next big blue
I carry an overweight aeroplane full of luggage
I’m letting it go I’m sorting out my rubbish
Letting go as I breathe out
Holding you I know I have to take the trash out
You know I love you without any doubt
Letting go as I breathe out
I have a habit of drinking to try and cope
I get paranoid when I smoke too much dope
Admitting I’m broken is not the worst I’ve had to do
I try every day to be a little better for you
Letting go as I breathe out
Holding you I know I have to take the trash out
You know I love you without any doubt
Letting go as I breathe out
I can’t kill my feelings
Who am I if I can’t feel anything
Letting go as I breathe out
Holding you I know I have to take the trash out
You know I love you without any doubt
Letting go as I breathe out

Rat Race
03:17
|
|||
Food doesn’t always taste as good as it looks
You can’t always live your life through your books
People are always trying to re-paint their spots
You can’t keep living trying to be something you’re not
We all fall down in this rat race
At some time we all lose our place
Lets die out lets lose our face
Can’t get up from this dying rat race
It’s probably better if I don’t do today
I’ll smoke some weed and dig myself a grave
How can I keep up with all these bills?
Fat man haven’t you had enough to take your fill?
We all fall down in this rat race
At some time we all lose our place
Lets die out lets lose our face
Can’t get up from this dying rat race

Lunch Break
03:17
|
|||
It's the kids who share our bad news everyday.
They pack our fear in their lunchbox and we drive them away.
We hope someone out there will give them a break.
The strange kids get bullied and the privileged just get brave.
Lunch breaks always blow.
When you’re treated like you’re lower than low.
Lunch breaks can go to hell.
When you’re just waiting for the bell.
We all fell asleep watching the same TV.
Bad news travels fast but I’m too scared to breathe.
Weirdos like me get bullied every lunch break.
We can’t keep on making the same mistakes.
Lunch breaks always blow.
When you’re treated like you’re lower than low.
Lunch breaks can go to hell.
When you’re just waiting for the bell.
Privilege isn't a problem when you have it.
Problems aren't yours when they’re not your kids.
We are all reading and watching the same news.
We all have the right to choose.
Lunch breaks always blow.
When you’re treated like you’re lower than low.
Lunch breaks can go to hell.
When you’re just waiting for the bell.

Facebook Friend
03:26
|

Descending into dangerous places
Reckless abandon of social graces
What did I do last night while drunk
I’ve fallen into a heartache slump
I don’t want to be your Facebook friend
Where did my self respect go
I threw it out the window
Where did my fucking mind run to
I wish I didn’t give my body to you
I don’t want to be your Facebook friend
I smashed glasses on the concrete
I fell down in the middle of the street
I don’t remember how we got to your bed
Just get me out of your fucking head
I don’t want to be your Facebook friend

You keep my love at a distance
You keep my love at an arm’s length
I wish I hadn’t fallen for you
I wish I knew what you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
Why do I always get this feeling
You’re hangin’ out for someone else
Why do I always get this feeling
You’re hangin’ out for someone else… else
You didn’t tell me you were seeing your ex
I thought you’d fill me in on these events
I’m so unsure I don’t dream about you
I just don’t know if you’ll see me through
You’ll see me through
You’ll see me through
Why do I always get this feeling
You’re hangin’ out for someone else
Why do I always get this feeling
You’re hangin’ out for someone else… else
Why do I always get this feeling
You’re hangin’ out for someone else
Why do I always get this feeling
You’re hangin’ out for someone else… else

Stupid Love Song
03:30
|
|||
I’ve been trying to write a stupid love song
I keep trying but I get the words all wrong
Everything I’ve written seems kind of lame
I feel like a moth under a fucking flame
I like the way you smile at me
I like the way your breath smells when you breathe
I can’t get enough of your face palms
I’m feeling winded by every one of your charms
Ohhh ohh stupid me writing a stupid love song
Ohhh ohh stupid me trying to write a stupid love song
You look pretty even when we’ve torched the town
It’s cool when I make a joke that makes you frown
My guts jump when I know I’m heading your way
Seeing you is always the best part of my day
I like the way you smile at me
I like the way your breath smells when you breathe
I can’t get enough of your face palms
I’m feeling winded by every one of your charms
Ohhh ohh stupid me writing a stupid love song
Ohhh ohh stupid me trying to write a stupid love song

Stepped Out
02:13
|
|||
I've never been much of a fan for self-promotion
Don't think I didn't notice your devotion
You were always there when nobody showed up
Always saying things to try and lift me up
It's weird that you just stepped out
I keep forgetting you’re not about
It feels different in this town
At all the places you’d hang around
I liked it better when you were sick in hospital
It was easier feeling bad about forgetting to call you
I didn't hang with you as much as I wanted to
Now you're gone I'll still always think of you
It's weird that you just stepped out
I keep forgetting you’re not about
It feels different in this town
At all the places you’d hang around

Riding My Own Train
02:46
|
|||
I didn’t want to keep in touch with anyone from school
I don’t think that I’d have anything in common with you
I was always on the outside trying to break into the real world
I was a sore tooth on the inside on a fast path to the underworld
I’ve always talked kind of strange
I’ve always been slightly deranged
I’m happiest surfing in the rain
I’m just gonna’ keep riding my own train
I don't care what you have to say about the weirdo I’ve grown up to be
I feel like for the first time in my life I’m finally free
I was drowning in a town flooded by your boring verdicts
We all had to grow up to give us space to nullify the permits
I’ve always talked kind of strange
I’ve always been slightly deranged
I’m happiest surfing in the rain
I’m just gonna keep riding my own train
