Dead Cats 02:41
Pre Verse: What did I do to make you love me, I don’t know but I’m fucking glad it worked I don’t know what the future holds But I’m motherfucking glad you’re gonna be there. Verse 1: Is it the way I dress, sleeveless band shirt and holes in my jeans, Is it my sense of humour laughing at a dead cat in the street Whatever made it happen I guess I’ll never understand But just know I’m grateful to be the one to hold your hand, Hold your hand. Verse 2: Would you still feel this way even if you saw my inner mind, Would you still rip my clothes off, show me heaven, leaving me begging more, Whatever made it happen guess I’ll never really understand But just know I’m grateful to be the one to hold your hand Hold your hand Verse 3: Am I an idiot, not realising my own self value yeah? But would you love me then, when I’m strutting like a cockerel Whatever made it happen guess I’ll never really understand But just know I’m grateful to be the one to hold your hand Hold your hand

Song For You 02:06
Verse 1: Throughout our lives we make some small missteps But I know when I live mine I’ll never have another regret, Every move we make, it makes us who we are, And I know just one thing now I’ll never change what lead me here And I’ve got you to thank. Chorus: And if it weren’t for you I would’ve been exposed as a shister, and not hailed a working class hero And if it weren’t for you I may not have been grateful for the gifts I’ve inherited now, And if it weren’t for you I may not have been picked up from the gutter down in rock bottom And if it weren’t for you When I gave all my love to my wife I may not have known how Verse 2: We have our scars body mind and soul, Doesn’t mean they define us or mean a fucking thing at all Laughing and joking, screaming bloody fights, This experience I had it tells me I’ma be alright And I’ve got you to thank Chorus: And if it weren’t for you I would’ve been exposed as a shister, and not hailed a working class hero And if it weren’t for you I may not have been grateful for the gifts I’ve inherited now, And if it weren’t for you I may not have been picked up from the gutter down in rock bottom And if it weren’t for you When I gave all my love to my wife I may not have known how

Verse 1: They say why wait for tomorrow, when you can do it for today Some might steal before they borrow, ‘cause it might take their pain away Bridge 1: I’ve live my life always wanting more Waiting for the opportunity to find that open door Through the good the rough I’ll be ready To get there By whatever means it take me Chorus: Live the Dream, By all means Don’t let no one drag you down Stand your ground and fuck the crowd Go live your dream Verse 2: Don’t let the haters bring you down, pick yourself up from the ground Take my advice sometime you just gotta think twice, to who or where you wanna be. Bridge 2: I’ve got regrets yeah but don’t we all Just make sure you get up when you fall No ones got the right to tell you how to life your life As long as your breathing and you’ve got a reason Chorus Live the Dream, By all means Don’t let no one drag you down Stand your ground and fuck the crowd Go live your dream

Verse 1: I’m tired of waiting in a queue to get to a queue, Pushing through tourists and hens and stags, Fighting my way to you, Staring at neon lights and hearing multilingual words, Motorways and offices and terminals and hotels Pre Chorus: It’s all just cardboard backdrops when you’re not there, I just don’t wanna be here, If I can’t be with you then fuck it I don’t wanna be anywhere Chorus: I wish that you could be by my side, But I’m so damn sick of these goddamn miles And I will have you here by my side And I’ll conquer every one of these goddamn miles Verse 2: Wasted hours on the underground will I ever get off this train, I got a hundred thousand stops to go and a trudge home in the rain, My lower body’s aching with the effort of this uphill climb, But it’ll be worth every ache and pain to be holding you in my arms Pre Chorus: It’s all just cardboard backdrops when you’re not here but fuck it I’m damn close A minute more and a lifetime score I made it I made it home Chorus: I wish that you could be by my side, But I’m so damn sick of these goddamn miles And I will have you here by my side And I’ll conquer every one of these goddamn mile
5.
Verse 1 Have you ever wondered where the good times went? Reminiscing of the days and the times we've spent Well I can tell you they're just fragments of our lives Making up the mosaic of our time Pre Chorus: Reopening a letter, from a loved one that's moved on Or listening to a song, we once danced to until dawn Chorus: All these things, (All these little things) Remind me of you And all that is true Verse 2: Sometimes when I look back, I can see you I can feel you How you looked into me Verse 3:+ The time at the fairground, On a cold, neon night When you turned round and said, I I will always be with you Pre Chorus: Reopening a letter, from a loved one that's moved on Or listening to a song, we once danced to until dawn Chorus: All these things, (All these little things) Remind me of you And all that is true

Minus One 2 01:07
Another year goes by and I miss you, Guess it'll never be the same, But I find ways to keep you in my life, And it makes it like you never had to leave, My baby girl knows to point you out, On the pictures of you on my wall, I nearly started playing in your band, But I thought that might be taking things to far, And now you get another uke track, So I guess that you'll be really chuffed, It's my way of making sure you know, That I'm thinking of you every single day.

about
