PUNCH IN THE FACE
middle class white boys trying hard to annoy all we really needed is a ticket to ride fighting with no-one at all that's ok we've got no balls someone needs to sort us out and make benny cry all we need is a punch in the face lary emdur is ok compared to us he makes the grade self-depreciation is important for some we deserve a beating can someone teach a lesson all that they'd be doing is just having some fun all we need is a punch in the face and they go bam ba ba bam etc...

DISAPPOINTMENT
i can see the pain in your eyes it's hard to comprehend your way of life don't think i'm a failure at something i haven't done yet i'd be like you if i needed to i know that you want me to be happy as long as that happiness coincides with your stylised distortions of my values and work ethic that no longer applies we don't want to work too hard just accept the way we are it's the disappointment tearing us apart can't you understand this is our time it's not a phase we're getting on just fine it's easier to talk about redemption than questionable backwards moral lines it might just be academic pretensions or justifying when to fantasise we don't want to work too hard just accept the way we are it's the disappointment tearing us apart i can see the pain in your eyes it's hard to comprehend your way of life i know that you want me to be happy as long as that happiness coincides with your stylised distortions of my values and work ethic that no longer applies we don't want to work too hard just accept the way we are it's the disappointment tearing us apart

PARASITE
you call me up and tell me that you want to talk to someone who's going to help you classify your cred attempt to be indifferent but it doesn't work out it's difficult to try to justify your head all you seem to do is hang around you're a parasite want to be part of something, just a fashion might as well listen and look just like that demean yourself in public if you really want to end up being nothing but a boring prat all you seem to do is hand around you're a parasite, call it what you like you're a parasite, got such a nasty bite (you're such as stupid shite) like to mention all the cool gigs that you've been to like to mention all the cool bands that you've met it's a fascinating diatribe of great proportions however i would prefer to punch my own head

Wasted
(listen) a combination of vowel sounds and consonants giving the impression of rapidly sung lyrics why save a life when it's wasted anyway why save a life when i've wasted it anyway the dulcet tones of ben costello a combination of vowel sounds and consonants giving the impression of rapidly sung lyrics (keep going into the next song...)

NOT SO TOUGH NOW
see you walking down the street people facing to their feet don't you talk about who you meet or what you say looking around, don't care at all picking your teeth is bloody gross when the truck ??? get out of the way not so tough now lying around your tv spot fido the dog is running amok all you can think about is a party trip while smoking pot ??? you shouldn't sit close to a naked flame maybe you should not have worn your nylon top not so tough now one, two, three, four... lying on the beach ??? speedos doing enormous ks ??? for giving you lip got a tip if you swim around you're such a good swimmer that you'd never drown obviously no-one told you not to swim against the rip not so tough now

Jesus
the power of the church is real the queen and state has lost it's zeal but you will find that satan still holds court and if you find another way you'll be more popular than green day if you decide to take the chance wait for me wooooooooo, hoooo whh jesus wooooooooo, hoooo whh jesus he is hated more than us but loved more than the d.s.s. and if you had the choice you would pay the rent scientific humanism might replace the icons we know but there is no-one there to lead us in wooooooooo, hoooo whh jesus wooooooooo, hoooo whh jesus

Uncle Ken
i never liked your boat shoes or your white cotton slacks and when you run for council did you get a vote or did you get a push in the back when someone finds you out will you walk or will you get a kick in the sack feel them up??? let's kick this guy ??? ??? ??? ??? feel them up??? touch the sky because uncle ken is not your friend this ??? that's in my hand i wouldn't leave it up, i wouldn't leave it up to you ??? feel them up??? touch the sky because uncle ken is not your friend jesus

NOT YOUR THYME
into this garden you don't belong tearing stresses and defects don't take my parsley or my sage or my oregano this is not your thyme cyclonic winds, droughts or floods herbs grow but not in poison the healing action, the colour, song they are all flying south now

Wrong Is Right
two wrongs are right that's so incredibly right it's just these thoughts and opinions of these polarised millions reflected in one phrase it's so practical every arsonist (arse that is) smoking every rule to be broken placebo justice ??? from a winner's history and when the message is said and the image is spoken it's an airbrushed untruth this feign humanity every arsonist (arse that is) smoking every rule to be broken placebo justice sex will sell but do you want what it buys you wouldn't think you'd make the same mistake how will you judge your contribution to this foul oprah religion of sanitised views and self congratulation who will feast on all you sheep every arsonist (arse that is) smoking every rule to be broken placebo justice scapegoat slaughtered sacrificed regardless execution is a hearth where violence reignites

HUMAN EXCRETA
do not be alarmed by the inordinate amount of human excreta

Urban Myth
if i gave you another wish you'd be hanging out for married bliss waiting for your life to control you married bliss is an urban myth with concrete smiles and bloody wrists i never thought it would come to this, did you? oh ho haven't you seen the end of it all one more fantasy before you fall who ho ho, who ho ho, who ho ho, who, ho ho, who ho hoo who ho ho sometimes it's best to pass ??? sinking to your boring point of view ??? ??? i never thought it would come to this did you? it's not cynicism but the same old contradictions a repeat of the same jaded mistakes

PANTS
i walk all around the house in nothing but a shirt i'm not embarrassed to go out, it wouldn't be the first i've looked underneath everything the place is such a mess there's stuff to do, i must go out, it's probably for the best i couldn't find my pants today i think it's probably better that way i used to dream i was at school and running with no pants that nightmare has become my dream, it's difficult to grasp even though i must avoid a visit from the cops there's nothing i like better than to walk up to the shops i couldn't find my pants today i think it's probably better that way i walk all around the house in nothing but a shirt

YOU ARE A KNOB
political aspirations have never been that high on your list your minimal contributions are enough to win the smiles of some if your self made institutions are strong enough to save your face then maybe you'll be around for the next punk rock band from the states because you are a knob it's your together disposition, can't cover your lack of conviction it's easy to be funny when the jokes are all that you've got and if your day old contradictions are not enough to shut you up then maybe you will be around to write another fucking song about vivisection you are a knob you are a knob (annoying mother fuckers that you can't ignore) i see your face in the crowd, stand up proud i cry out loud it's your conceited propositions why don't you let me count the reasons it's difficult to swallow when my mouth is so clamped shut when your day old contradictions are not enough to break your back then maybe you will be around to witness what you have and what you lack you are a knob you are a knob you are a knob (annoying mother fuckers that you can't ignore) here today gone late today good to know that you've been had time to tell you that your life's so bad you show no difference between camps not looking forward to those morning cramps

HERE TODAY GONE LATE TODAY
you're one fascinating type it's so amazing how you read between the lines the t.v. shows you what to do but it can't tell you what it thinks of you the politics you can replace with looking for the truth in melrose place now you know that it's the best to find the answers in central park west

BIG BROTHER
i can't vote even though it's not my fault i'd like to see what they believe and if i try i just stop and wonder why those decisions make me sigh big brother isn't watching big brother's ignoring you i know i should but never really understood what these people meant to be but i still try to vaguely have some grasp of it so i can read between the lies those fucking lies

WISH YOU WERE THERE
it's time you went away for good no apologies i think you really should always demonstrate your self righteous and boring outlook now if in doubt wish you were there it's probably not long before this feeling will subside won't choke me anymore but until that day your fucked up justifications keep coming and coming wish you were there to contemplate just wastes my time about as interesting as this annoying vocal whine it could be advantageous to shove you on an icebreaker south now somehow wish you were there

SOMETHING REALLY QUIET
no lyrics

BEN (SECRET TRACK)
