Lyrics - Tears At The Dover

A Modern World

i parted the red sea of the work ethic
then i became slightly more pathetic
then it killed me with a sky of bricks
unhappy now my life's in...
fits of passion normality on ration
depression, regression with extreme drinkin sessions
getting up in the dark
to leave what mark
and the world falls in on your head
coz work had bled you dry
until nothing works
where your personal demons lurk
you're worried about the world bein too crowded
your face is too powdered
you're like a train crash
no-one gains
benefits for the hell of it
nature will only make you hate ya
it all pains me
you're aiming high, increasing ties
to a life a world a way
true thought in decay
but can you ignore that niggling bite
you know what it wants
but you are gonna fight
until...
you've tried everything

Insanity

i'm a bit worried about the malais of our brand new era
got a few things to say about the bullshit fever
we're losing our way, denying the common sense
in the end we will pay there is no recompense
you've been on the training, stayed in the hotel
it was really nice as far as you can tell
what did you learn on your weekend away
translations as to what your colleagues really say
in the meeting 'bout a meeting... you cunt
'ere's one for ya, what world is he from?
he rates himself but how far has he gone
its hard to explain but i know what i mean
when i hear him speak i know that he's been
to loads of meetings 'bout some meetings...
you cunt, you runt, you slag, you scab
why send a fucking email to someone in sight
have a conversation they might bite
your people skills, there's no frills
the word progress is a garnish just to meet imaginary targets
in the meeting 'bout a meeting... you cunt
i see my friends feel the pressure get a career and be someone
don't be like the lesser no career and no fun
i don't mean to say cunt but you're bearing the brunt
of the sinking ship humanity diseased by a strange vanity it's insanity
be your own one
do your own thing
coz if you challenge them you'll know what they'll do they'll call a...

The Box

i hate it when you know nothing
i hate it when you know something
on days when i hate when i am sick
i would ban what makes you tick
your rabid human weakness gives the world a bleakness
you're lookin for a fight coz your one's right
you're mentally ill with no foresight
coz you were infected from the age of 5
long before you were alive
long before you could survive
long before you was allowed to thrive
on your own thoughts
i hate it when you claim to be
something through which i can see
give yourself a reason to bully
convince yourself of it fully
you've got people's lives in your hands
but choose not to understand
its playground fight between big cults
innocent dead because of your faults. coz you were...

Attack Apathy

carry on, cycle round
do as most do, it's an opaque see-through
it's how it works, if it does
gimme direction, no longer natural selection
please, think it through, what to do, something new
life don't get mentioned
i'm a guilty man, i lost my plans
but they came back, when i got the sack
the fire burns, what the mind re-learns
question direction, nothing but welcome rejection
tease, the idea 'n the fear are you near
create the tension

Ya Bin Dun

you've been caught out coz i worked you out
you wanted your plan b and you wanted it to be me
ya bin dun...
i've made my excuses i'll suffer with no-one but myself
i hate people so much i am unobtainable i'm stealth
it depends if you care or not and i'm sure you probably don't
you think yourself into anything someone tipped up your boat
ya bin dun...
saving face becomes a race when i've bin dun

Hiding at Speed

the hope of not needing hope is my only hope
the need of needing need is my only need
when i'm hiding at speed nothing i need
the war of not needing war is an only war
the dream of not needing dreams is my only dream
when i'm hiding at speed nothing i need
freedom of death, nothing less.

Lifeswing

well the time it takes to find the right one
if the one right wonder is not for you son
if you've tried and died and it's not much fun
then you shouldn't forget fuckin' anything you've done
just forget it...
well the positive man
the man with the plan
give yourself time
there's love to find
ground zero
for such a perceived hero
there's further to fall
from a pedastal
give me the place
give me the time
give me the future
and i will resign
give me the choice
give me the voice
give me the future
and i will rejoice

A Roof

i'm looking for an end to an era
an era based on one thing
i'm looking for end to a problem
a problem based on one thing
a roof
bollocks, it runs deeper
it's more than a rough sleeper
it's only 'cause they're so tired
along with the highs that we allow
oh lets all get together to create a stigma
but along with that there comes a certain enigma
which does not exist even when i'm pissed, they will die
i'm looking for a new school of thought
a school based on one thing
a truth
bollocks...
lets all get together to attach a stigma
to me it's obvious what this will trigger
some will misunderstand the homeless problem in this land
we must try.

Faith

the fear of god, an army with an opinion
spending the dollar by the cent and the million
feel the bible belt strapped across your rear
if there's nothing you've felt let the first thing be fear
a legalised terror, a moralised reign
for both it's an error multiplying pain
innocent civilians let the question be known
do we exist or do we have our own throne?
from which we take action and therefore give orders
in all rival factions all free thought is slaughtered
no smoke without fire, no crash without cars
misguided desires with victims in charge
faith, don't do it, it's a made up drug
you take it as your purpose but it's a hole you've dug
faith, don't do it,
a face has more to it than a cultural snub
in the smallest way what do you support
not the way you see it but a terror network of sorts
because you're a distant detachee none of it's your fault
through your collective responsibility it's just what you were taught
it's self-perpetuating, it's damn clever
'tis something i am hating at the moment forever
faith...

Wishlist

no war, give me a job that i like
before, life's too much of a fight
i'm not owed, but i want the women i want
it's the words not the type of the font
it's me! i'm part of the rot
as you can see my selfishness could clear up the lot
wishlist
everything right, is i s'pose what i want on the list
for now i'll have to carry on getting pissed so pissed
wishlist.

Trains

there is something i'm really proud of
i'm quite aware it makes me a nob
the state they're in at the moment is a mess
but there is something i have to confess
i love trains, they ease my pains
i love trains, so much so i give 'em names
british railways should never have gone
now the money grabbin' bastards take their profit and run
how can you trust a structure of dust
lives are lost when you're cutting costs but i love trains
hst the way to be
or on a mark 1 when it hits the tonne
with a pannier tank with a rhthym to skank
two castles on dainton bank
westerns, warships, hymeks, peaks
class 50s 'n 33s, deltics, whistlers, a-1-a's, english electric 58s
trains.

Coming Out To Get You

any level you'll find
to make yourself feel wanted
to your own you'll be kind
and anyone else will be taunted
an area, a football team
a continent, a country's dream
a place, a creed religion free
if you're not in mine then i won't see
except all those in my one
from difference fast i will run
coming out to get you
coming out to feel you
coming out to heal you
coming out to wake you up
coming out to shake you up
coming out to give a
your vision and your ambition could not be further from true
division comes to fruition when some choose to listen to you
coming out to get you
