I’ve been working Growing bees Though the pollen makes me sneeze And I’ve been working For my baby Cos’ you’re the one I’m trying to please I got honey I got honey And it wasn’t easy to do I’ve been trying to make a honey as sweet as you Well I built you A big beehive To try and get you to stay And I’ve been fighting Bee Karate To keep those other drones away I got honey I got honey And it wasn’t easy to do I’ve been trying to make a honey as sweet as you

Blah fucking blah That is all that I heard from your mouth We should’ve gone North But you said that we should’ve gone South Now actions speak louder than words Its the song not the sound Talk is Cheap Shut your fucking mouth And get on with the project at hand That’s when you find that you’ve changed From a boy to a man But you’ll never learn Yeah it’s clear that you don’t understand Talk is Cheap

Be a Man 02:50

The long last look is the shortest glance And when you dress like me you gotta take a chance Yeah you gotta do what you gotta do Be a man Making plans Shaking hands My high-heeled feet are no good for walking in And my high-heeled TV has gone on the blink again

Half Fish Half Man 03:23

Tonight I’m tempted To go down to the water The cool black river The shining surface I’m away (I’ve got fins and scales) I’m away (I eat worms and snails) I feel I am half fish half man Tonight I’m swimming Between shafts of moonlight The emerald pillars Hold up the ceiling I’m away (I’ve got fins and scales) I’m away (I eat worms and snails) I feel I am half fish half man

When I’m climbing I’m thinking Will I reach the top? Then I’m coming back And I’m holy When I’m riding I’m thinking Will I ever stop? Then I’m stopping And I’m holy When I’m loving I’m thinking Is she the one? Then I know she is And she’s holy When I’m fucking I’m thinking Will I ever come? Then I’m coming And I’m holy

Being here alone is like a camping weekend with Dr Phil Initially it’s nice but then the scroggin starts to make you feel ill You’re the only one who I could hang out with I will if you will But I could never be the one to fix your intonation That would be too much given our current situation And I could never be the one to let you down So you know that I’ll be coming around (Until you do I’ll wait for you) And I could never be the one to let you down So you know that I’ll be coming around (Until you do I’ll wait for you I’m sitting here at home with fuck all to do) In the middle of the morning it gets quiet like a hospital bed The only sound that I can hear is you echoing round in my head Trying to guess the words behind the words behind the words that you said But I could never be the one to guess your verbal winking I’m trying to give up thinking about the thoughts that you are thinking And I could never be the one to let you down So you know that I’ll be coming around (Until you do I’ll wait for you) And I could never be the one to let you down So you know that I’ll be coming around (Until you do I’ll wait for you I’m sitting here at home with fuck all to do)

American Scones 02:22
lyrics

Kentucky blew my mind Connecticut was a drag Ohio was a stick-up Was a bucket and a rag But I’ve got nothing left Not much for sinking I lost myself And yeah I wasn’t thinking But I never got a chance to say I wasn’t drinking I never got a chance to say I wasn’t drinking When we were in the car Driving kinda far Driving cross the desert When your hair was all sparks But I’ve got nothing left Not much for sinking I lost myself And yeah I wasn’t thinking But I never got a chance to say I wasn’t drinking I never got a chance to say I wasn’t drinking

This morning I was thinking about you Tonight I’ll still be thinking about you Cos’ I tried I tried to stop thinking about you But I can’t I can’t help it I just think about you I think about you Watching TV I’m just thinking about you Brushing my teeth I’m just thinking about you Cos’ I tried I tried to stop thinking about you But I can’t I can’t help it I just think about you I think about you I can’t get you out of my head This morning I was thinking about you Tonight I’ll still be thinking about you Cos’ I tried I tried to stop thinking about you But I can’t I can’t help it I just think about you I think about you

I’ve got a time that I think about Quarter to one to quarter to That’s the time that I think about I’ve got a time that I ride around This bike and it’s built for two That’s the time that I ride around Cos’ I don’t feel I don’t feel (what?) I don’t feel I don’t feel a thing I’ve got a time that I think about Quarter to one to quarter to That’s the time that I think about I’ve got a house that I wander round That’s right and I look for you That’s the house that I wander round Cos’ I don’t feel I don’t feel (what?) I don’t feel I don’t feel a thing
