$3 a litre 03:39
lyrics
I see the sky crack as it starts to fade As the night decides to stab another day I’m gonna go into the country side for a little while I’m gonna throw my phone into a creek

Selling my blood for three dollars a litre The more I bleed the quicker it gets cheaper 
Watch me as I start to fade away 
Selling my mind for three dollars a thought I always knew there’;s a reason for this Madness that I’ve been capable of lately So bring me whiskey Bring me wine Bring me good weed and a reason to whine And you know I’ll be floating away Bring me vodka 
bring me beer 
Bring me good weed and a reason to be here 
And you know I’ll be floating away

No I ain’t going back 
See what I mean to be 
I got another place to call my own
No I ain’t going back there
I got a garden of earthly delights to attend to So bring me whiskey Bring me wine Bring me good weed and a reason to whine And you know I’ll be floating away Bring me vodka 
bring me beer 
Bring me good weed and a reason to be here 
And you know I’ll be floating away

Black Ice 03:14
lyrics
I tried to build the biggest castle That the world has ever seen Just to name it after you And all the people we have been 
I’ve been the villain But my reign didn’t last very long You’ve been the hero And the reason for this song Oooo I’m a fool for you Lord knows that I’m a fool I see the leaves on the trees Have fallen down and decomposed by now And theres black ice on the road Tell me where you gonna go to now Cause it stings when I breathe And when I move it aches Oh I gotta get out of this heart ache And the mouldy mildewed part of my soul Needs some fresh air for me to grow Ooo well I'm a fool for you Ooo lord knows I'm a fool From the craters of the moon To the perils of the sea From the Jupiter storm You will find me unwind me Ooo Lord knows I'm a fool for you They all know I'm a fool

Suppose 03:23
lyrics
She’s Gorgeous She’s decadent She’s everything that I have ever wanted But I more than want it I’m dismal I’m distant I’m about as far away as any star in the sky But I’ll get by Suppose I would travel the world for you So if you want you could be with me If its love that we see and life that we breathe We should never miss an opportunity So open up your heart and open up your mind Cause theres no way, no way of turning back the time Open up your heart and open up your mind Cause there’s no way And the juggernauts we conquer are still in thew muck I’m godless But she’s my goddess And together we paint the night with stars 
Though we never get far I’m dismal I’m distant I’m about as far away as any star in the sky But I’ll get by Suppose I would travel the world for you So if you want you could be with me If its love that we see and life that we breathe We should never miss an opportunity So open up your heart and open up your mind Cause theres no way, no way of turning back the time Open up your heart and open up your mind Cause there’s no way

Pancakes 02:57
lyrics
It’s too early to be out of touch I knew I wouldn’t amount to much Just like the fall of the dinosaurs 
I’ve got a meteor floating through my head It’s to early to be rattling on 
I’ll be quiet when I’m dead and gone Just like the fall of the twin towers 
I’ve got an inside job for you Bring me pancakes and cups of tea I need a lover like you to love the lover in me And my head is a wasteland oh my body’s a slum But even the most derelict areas they need some love and understanding It’s too early to get out of bed I’ll lie here with the devils in my head Just like the fall of the twin towers I’ve got an inside job for you

Bring me pancakes and cups of tea I need a lover like you to love the lover in me And my head is a wasteland oh my body’s a slum But even the most derelict areas they need some love and understanding It’s too early to fall in love It’s too early for all of that

Bring me pancakes and cups of tea I need a lover like you to love the lover in me And my head is a wasteland oh my body’s a slum But even the most derelict areas they need some love and understanding

Thank you 03:07
lyrics
Used to want to jump
Now I want to fly
Used to want to run
And now I want to dance all night
Used to want to fall 
And now I want to fall for somebody new
Used to want to scream 
Now I want to sing this song for you 

I want to say thank you for being my friend
I want to say thank you for being there

High was the mountain but
low was my piece of mind
Deep was the ravine but
Shallow was my way inclined Growth is painful sometimes
It’s hard to satisfy
But it makes it easier 
With people like you by my side I want to say thank you for being my friend
I want to say thank you for being there

Somebody 03:38
lyrics
My head is hurting baby
must of been all of that sweet sweet brandy
I wouldn’t lie I would like more To justify this morn ing being sore My back is breaking baby Must of been the amount that you’ve grown on me
I wouldn’t lie I would like more To justify this morning being sore

I need somebody like you 
To pour me out and make me somebody new 
Would you need somebody like me 
Cause if you did, then I would never leave My bodies aching baby Must of been all of that 
Crazy stuff that you showed me 
I wouldn’t lie I would like more 
All jumped up rolling around on the floor 

I need somebody like you 
To pour me out and make me somebody new 
Would you need somebody like me 
Cause if you did, then I would never leave I need somebody like you 
To pour me out and make me somebody new 
Would you need somebody like me 
Cause if you did, then I would never leave

What did you say? 02:55
lyrics
Now what did you say what did you say I don’t need to know What did you say I don’t need you worries for me to grow What did you say what did you say I don’t need to hear What did you say I don’t need your worries for me to fear Introverted? Nah I just like to be alone sometimes is that really a crime? Assertive? No but it might be my hand around your throat next time Were did you sleep last night? I don’t know man but where was I when I was waking up What did you do with your life I just sat around with a beer in my hand and watched the universe breaking up 
I’m 24 and I’m poor and I’m living with my mum But one day the earth is probably gonna crash into the sun So I suppose we should accept ourselves Be less like everybody else and if theres anything more I’ll write it down Won’t you won’t you Save for your retirement Won’t you, won’t you Be everything to everyone Won’t you, won’t you Travel the world and see everything 
Won’t you, won’t you Just go away Now what did you say what did you say I don’t need to know What did you say I don’t need you worries for me to grow What did you say what did you say I don’t need to hear What did you say I don’t need your worries for me to fear Now they say I should save for my retirement But I’m entirely tired of them in all of my entirety Sobriety, what the Frick is that? I’m going down with a drink in my hand and that is that Were did you sleep last night? I don’t know man but where was I when I was waking up Won’t you won’t you Save for your retirement Won’t you, won’t you Be everything to everyone Won’t you, won’t you Travel the world and see everything 
Won’t you, won’t you Just go away

Take you there 02:40
lyrics
Far across the ocean lies another land Well I don’t know how to get there but I know it like the back of my hand The streams are made of lemonade And the birdsong is sweeter than the sound of the rain Well when you go out on Saturday night you never have to come home And when you make it to the morning theres no feeling of being alone Just the warm sunshine on your body Beautiful body in the morning glow Ohh well I would take you there Ohh if I could take you there But I’d probably not want to come back to this place Yes this land I’m talking about you never pay for beer And the worries in your mind well they just pack up and disappear And the waves that you ride made of wine feel divine And the warm air saturates in your soul Ohh well I would take you there Ooh if I could take you there But I’d probably not want to come back to this place Oh it seem that It seems that you’ve been gone For quiet some time And now now the devil he even knows of your smile Ohh well I would take you there Ooh if I could take you there But I’d probably get lost somewhere along the way Ohh well I would take you there Ooh if I could take you there But I’d probably not want to come back to this place
