I said I'm moving on
Cos it is something
I've been needing
To do for a while
Kept me captive
In this cave of sadness
And I need to walk on by
You don't love me like you say you do
And now I see it clear as day
Hope you can find somebody new
But I am on my way
In the deep of the sadness
I'm leaving you oh today
In the deep of the madness
I'm leaving you oh today
Cos I need more, more
And you can't give it to me
Cos I'm need more and more
So just get outta my way
Took your time
But never thought it through
Vomiting words
You will regret
Framing scenes
So far from what they seem
This time your choices left you for dead
You don't love me like you say you do
And now I see it clear as day
Hope you can find somebody new
But I am on my way
In the deep of the sadness
I'm leaving you oh today
In the deep of the madness
I'm leaving you oh today
Cos I need more, more
And you can't give it to me
Cos I need more and more

I’ve been fasting for too long
When you gonna feed me?
How about some of your alphabet soup?
L.O.V.E.M.E.
C’mon, c’mon c’mon, c’mon love me
C’mon, c’mon c’mon, c’mon love me
I’m flatlining here on your elegant veneer
My heart stopped beating
Perform CPR in your ER
S.A.V.E.M.E.
C’mon, c’mon c’mon, c’mon love me
C’mon, c’mon c’mon, c’mon love me
Every bit of love spills little drops of blood
That spell L.O.V.E.M.E

So much better
I’ll keep you close
Still high in the morning light
A trip in your shadows
And I’m watching the world go by
I see it all with my brand new eyes
We’ll take a walk,
And I’ll breathe it in
The world is good
Now it's got you in
Cos I’m watching the world go by
I’m only here now your heart is mine
Makes sense when it feels so right
Oh, make me feel alive
Now my world is spinning right…cos
Kiss me quickly
Take my hand
You're like an electric shock
My body’s sunk in the sand
And I’m watching the world go by
I sense it all with my brand-new eyes
Take a walk,
And I’ll breath it in
The world is good
Now it’s got you in
Cos I’m watching the world go by
I’m only here now your heart is mine
Makes sense when it feels so right
Oh you make me feel alive
Now my world is spinning right
Cos I’m on your ride
I'm helpless by your side
Without you I don't feel right
Don't feel right
Don’t feel right
Don’t feel right
Don’t feel right
You make me feel alive
Now my world is spinning right
Cos I’m on your ride
I'm helpless by your side

Pow give me another shot
Kissin toxicated
I want our lips to lock
Kissin toxicated
In the parking lot
Kissin toxicated
Pow give me another shot
Kissin toxicated
Thirsty for your moonshine
Hazard lights in your glass
Cold pint of open fire
Burning in your gas lamp
Rubbing on my battery
Dirt bag on 45
Gambled on my story
Betting on a piece of mind
Your left wing is right brained
Gold teeth are turning green
Caffeine In my veins
Your lips out on front street
Pow give me another shot
Kissin toxicated
I want our lips to lock
Kissin toxicated
In the parking lot
Kissin toxicated
Pow give me another shot
Kissin toxicated
Stir fry your scrambled eggs
Finishing my Dinner jinx
Xanadu what Simon said
Before you get your hood winked
Pulled a record out the sleeve
Dusted off a 45
Pop a cap in the juke box
For a tune I didn’t recognize
Your left wing is right brained
Gold teeth are turning green
Caffeine in my veins
Your lips out on front street
Pow give me another shot
Kissin toxicated
I want our lips to lock
Kissin toxicated
In the parking lot
Kissin toxicated
Pow give me another shot
Kissin toxicated
Kiss me
Junkyarded my time machine
Hacked into my second life
Spray painted them autumn leaves
And cheated death in paradise
Skid row in my pants
40 Love with no arms
Carrying my dirt bag
Rubbing on my snake charm
Your left brain is right wing
Gold teeth are turning green
Caffeine in my veins
Your lips out on front street
Pow give me another shot
Kissin toxicated
I want our lips to lock
Kissin toxicated
In the parking lot
Kissin toxicated
Pow give me another shot
Kissin toxicated

No crystal ball to tell me, this palm read isn't right
I question all the answers, so they fit in with my life
I sift through all the pictures, looking for the sign
The kiss that was right, the look in your eyes
Where are you tonight?
All that I want is to be taken by you
All that I want is your time
So show I’m wrong, been there all along
And tell me that I’m the one
I fooled myself for so long but it’s still unclear
I wonder who you've become through the rumours that I hear
No calming meditation, fills me up with peace
Consumed by the beat, in love with the pulse
Where are you tonight?
All that I want is to be taken by you
All that I want is your time
So show me I’m wrong been there all along
And tell me that I’m the one
I'm the one

Oh 'allo everybody
It is a great pleasure to speak to you all here at this year's BRITS
I was wondering when you'd get around to me
Just before I came onstage my manager Nick said to me
Maybe you should speak for a minute on Mod as a way of life
Well, Nick's a smart cookie
I wouldn't be standing here before you if he wasn't but he ain't always right and he ain't right about this
Because mod isn't a way of life
Mod
Is a state of mind
That's right
Mod is a state of mind
You see Mod isn't about having the right wheels or the right shoes or hat
Or this or that
Or wearing the parka you saw someone wearing on the telly
That's not Mod, that's just copycat stuff
And it's not about knowing how to button your two-tone jacket
You know, top button always, middle button seldom, bottom button never
It isn't even about being able to dance properly to old rivvem and blues
All of that jazz an' razzamatazz don't mean a thing if you ain't swinging inside
Because mod is a state of mind
And the key to that state of mind
Is individuality
Mod is an expression of the smartness and sharpness you feel inside
The uniqueness that is you and only you
Projected with confidence into the world
And not giving a monkeys what anyone else finks
Some of my mates say "hang on a minute isn't all that individuality stuff really just punk?"
No, punk is pain, punk is rejection
Punk is angst, and dirt
Mod is being proud of how you feel, of who and what you are
And living it without embarrassment because it's the natural thing to do
I mean by that reckoning the greatest mod in history, I mean the greatest of all time
Was probably Cassius Clay
And you ain't gonna argue with that now, are ya?
I mean you could be gay, you could be straight
All of the above or none of the above
If you can sustain your individuality
And express it with style
Then my son
You have earned the right
To self-describe
As Mod

Just wanna have a little piece of the pie
So I say with a sigh
When I left it to cool on a wall
There soon was nothing left at all
Little by little they carved off a slice
Some of them even came back twice
Oh the gall!
There soon was nothing left at all
Spending all my days
Singing about my dreams
You’re crunching numbers
Turning all these sounds
Into zeros and ones
You’re doing all the sums
I know I know it’s good to share
But they took so much
Just isn’t fair
It’s just not right at all
Our crust is getting thinner
They’re not troubled by that
Just like their cream
Do these fat cats
There’s no question about that at all
Spending all my days
Singing about my dreams
You’re crunching numbers
Turning all these sounds
Into zeros and ones
You’re doing all the sums
Such greed when there’s no need
To bite the hand that feeds
Just leave a bit for me
They’ll still be some for you
Just wanna have a little piece of the pie
So I say with a sigh
When I left it to cool on a wall
There soon was nothing left at all

Along the way I whistled loud
In the canal boat rain clouds
I rang a shopkeeper and your young grandma
But I felt gold off you, off him and her
Off him and her
I see thick lines and blue whiskers
Paint me sick paint me hurt
I spat soft and I spat clear and I left gunk everywhere
I felt gold off you, off him and her
Off him and her
Quick quick QUICK VOMIT!!
Well I felt gold off you, off him and her
Off him and her

I lived a dream I'd never known
Flew with you where I'd never flown before
We soared across the resting sky
That sort of blue in heaven's eye
And now the day is done and my heart it sighs
But it had its moment by the sun and birds and butterflies
I had a time while it felt it too short
I've lived a life too lucky to ignore
I've known a kiss on a starlit stage
While others passed too young for their age
And now the day is done and my heart it sighs
But it had its moment by the sun and birds and butterflies
