It Won't Last
03:28

So you think you backed a winner?
Got your finger firmly on the trigger
You’ve got the handle, I’ve got the blade
Guess it’s the price that I’ve had to pay
But no regrets
No remorse
No looking back
Nor forward
No future
No past
It’s not real
It won't last (it’s just a fantasy)
It’s not that you didn’t want it
Spent every waking hour dreaming about
And now your given the chance
You find yourself having to pass
But no regrets
No remorse
No looking back
Nor forward
No future
No past
It’s not real
It won't last (it’s just a fantasy)
Oh no, now here we go again
And I know, it seems we’re going round the bend
And when you think you’ve turned the corner
Just like lightning, I strike without warning
But no regrets
No remorse
No looking back
Nor forward
No future
No past
It’s not real
It won't last (it’s just a fantasy)
So you think you backed a winner?
Got your finger firmly on the trigger
I’ve got the handle, now you got the blade
Guess it’s the price that you had to pay
But no regrets
No remorse
No looking back
Nor forward
No future
No past
It’s not real
It won't last (it’s just a fantasy)
Who backed the winner?
Who backed the winner?

Monkey Factor
02:54
|

As the monkey climbs higher
And the tree it gets thinner
The further up he goes
The more he’s exposed
If you can’t be good
Be careful
And if you're wishing on a star
Be certain
Cause If your following fashion
The strangest things can happen
Is that the sound of you
Crashing down to the ground?

Brand New Geansai
02:23

I bought a brand new geansai
I got it in Guineys
They had it on sale
It was the last one left
Now I hope you like it
Cause when I was buying it
I had you in mind
Even tho’ I know it’s the summer
I’m still gonna wear it
Then I went to London
And guess what they sold me
it was a brand new pullover
it was a brand new pullover
I said I think I like it
To the man that was selling it
But it’s not as nice
No, It's not as nice
As me brand new geansai
I bought a brand new geansai
I bought it on Monday
I wore it all week
It’s on me as we speak
Even tho’ I know it’s the summer
I’m still gonna wear it
Then I went to London
And guess what they sold me
it was a brand new pullover
it was a brand new pullover
But It's not as nice
As me brand new geansai

Dear John
03:01
|

What they’re doing is clear
Playing on peoples fears
Where you come from your going back there
They don’t like your type 'round here
Olu
Who you think you are
Wanting what we have
Where you come from your going back there
They don’t like your type 'round here
Olu
Why you had to leave
Causing no one grieve
Where you come from your going back there
They don’t like your type 'round here
Olu

This is a song for my enemies
so come closer, come closer
This is a song for my enemies
so come closer, come close
Where I can see you, where I can see you
They’d better get out their knives
And sharpen them
But wait, before they do
I’ll take the shirt from off me back
I can’t be doing with ruining it
with blood, & sweat, & tears
This is a song for my enemies
So come closer, come closer
This is a song for my enemies
So come closer, come close
Where I can see you, where I can see you
I could be fooled, but then again
I have no cause to question things
Unless you operate that way
It wouldn't cross your mind to say
Hold on, hold on, hold on
This is a song for my enemies
So come closer, come closer
This is a song for my enemies
So come closer, come close
Where I can see you, where I can see you
I could be fooled, but then again
I have no cause to question things
Unless you operate that way
It wouldn't cross your mind to say
They’d better get out their knives
And sharpen them
But wait before they do
I’ll take the shirt from off me back
I can’t be doing with ruining it
With blood, & sweat, & tears

Dicky Donk Fonk
02:17
|
|||
I can’t stand it
I can't stand all this hustle & bustle
I should be out doing the Summerhill shuffle
I’m in the kitchen frying chicken
It’s too hot
It’s too hot
Then dicky donk fonk it
Then dicky donk fonk it
This pressure has got to stop
Blood vessels about to pop
Take it back to where it came
It’s too cold
It’s too cold
Then dicky donk fonk it
Then dicky donk fonk it
Got to do what you got to do
Asked for coddle when they ordered stew
Can’t please them all the time
It’s too hot
Then dicky donk fonk it
Then dicky donk fonk it

...seen & not heard
01:50
|
|||
You know actions speak louder than words
And all you know you have learned
Like all religions around the world
I feel Christians should be seen & not heard
Talk the talk
Don’t talk the talk
If you won’t walk the walk
won’t walk the walk
Live clean
Live clean
