Tripping in the morning

Welcome to the daylight, the sunlight and the play fight
welcome to the daylight and the sunlight gets you tripping
tripping in the morning
Welcome to the clear skies, the dawning of the sunrise
listen to the bird's sing and the chirping gets you tripping
tripping in the morning
And that water looks so nice
nice and cool and clean
take me out of this vice
cold and hard machine
I start again today write a brand new song
Welcome to the next life, the best part of the best life
do it if it feels right and you feel good in the morning
feel good in the morning
Take off in the sunshine, new start and its crunch time
can't wait till its lunchtime and the fun times get me tripping
tripping in the morning
Oh what a beautiful morning !
I couldn't do that anymore
had to change my life
the stress was killing me
cuts me like a knife
feel my soul return
pulsing energy
I'm so glad that I escaped from captivity
Never to late to start again start again today
Renaissance
renaissance
renaissance
I start again today
and nothing can go wrong

Ride it out stick it out come on rise above the sadness
There's a reason why its there
Ride it out come on now let's go surf the tide of madness
There's discomfort in the air
So many ways to live your life so many girls could be your wife
You make the best of what's around and everything else is just found sound found sound
Don't you know if you let go you'll explode onto the scene and people won't believe there eyes
Stand up tall smash the wall smash the wall that stands before you
Spread the rubble on the ground
Choices happen everyday opportunities abound
You make the best of what's around
Everything else is just found sound found sound
Catch the buzz feel the fuzz
Come on don't be afraid to take control
Let's make the best of what's around
and everything else is found sound found sound

Mild Amusement
03:59
|

You wake up in the present as a close minded peasant
and you got to greet the day in the same old way
You push out all the air with a steely eyed stare
and you grind it down the hall with a scissor from the wall
You try and make it better with an open minded letter
but everybody tells you you're wrong if you write
You pester dear old Esther for the whole trimester
and she gives it back to you in the form of a shoe
And you
you make me laugh
What's it called ?
Its mild amusement
I lined up all the gags of slapstick and satire
I made a pile of jokes and set the world on fire
You wake up in the future and you really think it suits ya
you go to greet the day and the day's gone away
You try to breathe the air but the air's not there
you think you have the gall to try and climb the wall
You make it sound better with a red romantic letter
you put it in a box with some socks on the locks
You pester poor old Lester for the laser winchester
and you shoot it at the moon with a needle and a spoon
And you
you make me cry
It's like a dose
of mild amusement
I sucked up all the gas, I gave out all guffaws
I cornered all the hoots and sabotaged the doors
I squeezed a giggle out, a grotesque parody
I lived a happy life, a matt black comedy
A certain form of
mild amusement

I get on board the silver bullet and I take a ride downtown
I see a guy with hair just like Ruud Gullit and he's listening to Motown
Raise your hand if you like Ruud Gullit you might be on your own
See a girl with no eyebrows screaming at her phone
Then I had to catch a tram through Collingwood
Dropped into a crazy scene and its jolly good
Had to catch a tram through Collingwood
Had to meet you in North Fitzroy
Standing there in the doorway Jesus Christ himself
He couldn't care about nothing he has to watch his health
In the air in the air is it a bird ? Or is it a plane ?
Look I can see Daniel as he's heading off to Spain
Then a car got squished on the corner of Gertrude and Smith
Looks like a girl meets boy
Oh how I wish I was back on the corner of Gertrude and Smith
Observe and Deploy !
Got a stare on the stair from the Sandman and Flaco too !
Ate a pear with the Phantom, phantom of my youth
Got a chair from the office. I tell you its the truth !
Made a dare with Aniko...baby is she loose !
And I had to catch a tram through Collingwood
Search and Destroy !
Had to catch a tram through Collingwood
I had to meet you in North Fitzroy

Paindrops
05:15

Paindrops are falling on my head
Paindrops heavier than lead
Its disaster everywhere I go and whatever I do it keeps on turning out wrong
I tell myself I'll make it through as always
I help myself because there's you as always
Its always getting better never mind the weather
but I'm still getting wetter from the paindrops
One thing leads to another it seems and the bad stuff gets into your dreams
You don't want to get out of bed in the morning and you hate yourself by mid afternoon
But night's just a step away
You'll come home and then you'll say
"How was your day ? "
And I'll say " Oh it was okay"
But it's always getting better never mind the weather
I'm still getting wetter from the paindrops
On my head
In my bed
And when the pain stops so does the song
And when I get myself together again
I'll certainly remember when you saved me
And you saved me
Now it's always getting better
I don't even look at the weather
Yet I'm still getting wetter from the paindrops
On my head
In my bed
And when the pain stops so does the song

Great humans you've answered the call
You've climbed mountains standing so tall
We've reached the top it's all downhill from here
Great humans we praise ourselves
Come on praise me you know it helps
It's over the top it's all downhill from here
Go live your life
See if the grass is greener on the other side
You feel alright in the night when he's holding you tight and you cannot see the edge
Something annoys us it isn't fair
You blame the government the media
They're over the top it feels like it's all downhill from here
Standards are slipping it's moral decay
Thing's aren't as good as they were in my day
That was the top it's all downhill from here
Go live your life
Remember noone else's god is on your side
I feel alright in the night when she's holding me tight
and I cannot see the edge
Pour out your eyes put them in a bowl
Melt the sand for the window of your soul
Hope hope there's so much hope
I need hope so that I can cope
with people who say it;s all downhill from here
So go live your life
Stay out of the sun and away from the rising tide
You feel alright in the night when I;m holding you tight and you cannot see the end

Well even if you want me to i could be anything at all for you
I would fall for you I would call for you
I stand tall for you I fall down for you
I would drown for you I play the clown for you again and again
I might cry for you I might fly for you
I might die for you try to make your dreams come true
Even on the other side even on the other side
Am I old enough am I cold enough ?
Am I told enough am I bold enough ?
Have I sold enough have I rolled enough ?
Can I hold enough to make it in the business ?
Where's Romeo where's GI Joe ?
Where's Tiny Tim where's Lord Jim ?
Where's bomber boy ?
Is he on the other side is he on the other side ?
You better brace yourself you better pace yourself
You better face yourself you better get some help
You wanna be someone you wanna touch the sun
You wanna have some fun you wanna run run run
You gonna be the man you gonna break your hand
You'll never understand violence is obscene
Even on the other side even on the other side
Even after all the bits of saxaphone she does tracks alone
She playing on the phone she listens to the drone
She lets the beat play out she lets her feet lay out
She lets her teeth fall out again and again
She gonna hurt for you she dig the dirt for you
She lift her skirt for you she gonna make you feel alright
Even on the other side even on the other side

True
04:57

The start of the end is just the antidote
To ending the start of the part I never wrote
I wrote about you I hope its not true
Naked ambition cling to tradition
Tell me is it fair to breathe in too much air
Just when you thought you'd seen me at my worst
I had to go and write another verse
A verse about you let's hope it comes true
Distill the essence suspended adolescence
You keep talking bout the war on ISIS
I'm still listening to China Crisis
I was misquoted unduly noted
I had too much air and I didn't care
Back to the bit where it gets really good
And does what it does just when it should
Should have been a deed but it was a seed
Now you can't feed
You can't live forever and stay together
How could I know that it would come true ?
Tell you something that I never said before
There ain't nothing good behind that door
Someone lying still underneath the floor
They found a body they found a poison pen
That was the story but I can't remember then
If it was true

Life begins at 42
02:44

Wasted success barely tasted
Frustrated getting castigated
When do I do what I want to do ?
Now life begins at 42
How do I get where I want to be ?
Fed up feels like I've been set up
Living someone else's life
Burned out how everything has turned out
Living someone else's life
When do I do what I want to do ?
Now life begins at 42
How do I get where I want to be ?
Now life begins at 43
or maybe 44
Hopefully before I get to 45
That's if I'm still alive

Inside

All I ever wanted was to look at the sky
All I ever wanted was to learn how to fly
School it made me want to run away
Work I only do it for the pay
i want to live without routine
Could I be the ghost in the machine ?
All I ever asked for was a feeling inside
Sometimes all I needed was somewhere to hide
Faith it only ever dulls the pain
Chance there's always someone else to blame
I tried to navigate the night
I didn't have the fight
Basically it's all just a matter of time
Hopefully I'll engineer a freedom design
God I don't need it to fill my mind
I know it's harder to be good than kind
Strength I need to swim against the tide
So I'm not forever trapped inside
