Watch Your Mouth

I'm on my way to your house
To your home
Thinking about what I'm gonna say
When I get you alone
I make up things that I know just won't suffice
And all in the name of trying to be nice
You'll say I'm nice enough
For both of us
And I'll tell myself
Before going up
You better watch your mouth
You don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than you first thought or first heard in your head
Rejoices and hallelujah
When I get straight down to ya
When I get outta my head and start the fun
And get inside in more ways than one
And my tongue is less of a concern
As we take turns in biting other things instead
You better watch your mouth
You don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than you first thought or first heard, oh
You better watch your mouth
You don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than you first heard in your head
Apprehension's getting to me
Your rejection's not what I need
Apprehension's getting to me
Your rejection's not what I need
I don't wanna run away with my thoughts
I don't wanna go and say something that'll make you distraught
I don't wanna run away with my mind
To kill the risk of upsetting you I'll find a way
To watch my mouth
And leave your feathers alone
I better watch my mouth
I don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than I first thought or first heard, oh
I better watch my mouth
I don't wanna ruffle the feathers of this bird
Or it's gonna come right out
Much worse than I first heard in my head

Gullible Child

They've taken over everything
From the way we dance to the way we sing
It has a structure, has a frame
Morphing together to sound the same
Even poetry has to rhyme
It has to follow a certain time
And they say do what you will
But being out of sync is a structure still
I'm just a gullible child
I'll believe what you'll say
I'll never figure out how the world works some day
I'm just a gullible child
I'll believe what you'll say
I'll never figure out how the world works some day
They've taken over everything
From the way we think to what we're saying
They've got us under their big thumb
As we carry on with life completely dumb
And oblivious to their sinister plans
As they impose authority
Become 'The Man'
And tell us lie after lie until we're old
Expecting us not to find out the truth about what we're told
I'm just a gullible child
I'll believe what you'll say
I'll never figure out how the world works some day
I'm just a gullible child
I'll believe what you'll say
I'll never figure out how the world works some day, hey
And maybe that's what they want us to think
Rebel against the system
And maybe that's what they want us to think
And whatever they say we're forced to listen
But what do I know?
I'm just a gullible child
I'll believe what you'll say
I'll never figure out how the world works some day... (improvised stuff)

Bridges

I wanna stop living in the past
Thinking about what it was we could've had
When I'd rather think about
What it is that I could have
'Cause I've still got tons of time to waste
Still got mistakes I'm due to make
And I'd rather have you there with me than not, than not
Is it too late to rebuild these bridges I have burned
To get to you
And if I asked for help from you to build them back again
Would you help me?
Would you help me?
I'm sorry but I couldn't help but feel betrayed
As the memory keeps getting replayed
I'm sure you had your reasons
I guess there's two sides to every story
And I'm sure it's not fair that you should take all the blame
Just because you found yourself a more worthy aim
You found yourself a more worthy aim
Is it too late to rebuild these bridges I have burned
To get to you
And if I asked for help from you to build them back again
Would you help me?
Would you help me?
And I'm sure the issues raised
May seem a little crazed
But I felt it would be best
Just to get this off my chest
'Cause I was never one to hold a grudge
And you were never one to lie
I'm sure if we picked this up from where we left off
We could give it one more try
Is it too late to rebuild these bridges I have burned
To get to you
To get to you
And if I asked for help from you to build them back again
Would you help me?
Would you help me?

I don't need no Follow
I don't want your Like
I want you to come out to gigs
and dance with me tonight
I've been waiting up all night
to play to an empty room again
It's not a wasted night
I'll put it down to experience
Paying my dues
It's old news
But some of you are getting confused
And so I've got a message for you
I don't need no Follow
I don't want your Like
I want you to come out to gigs
and dance with me tonight
I've been waiting up all night
To play these songs to you again
It usually starts with a fight
Or some kind of personal pain
That I write down
Nobody who knows me is safe now
So give me the gift of your eyes
Let me get lost in them as I tell you how much it means
you're in my life, so
I don't need no Follow
I don't want your Like
I want you to come out to gigs
and dance with me tonight
Am I being ungrateful?
Or should I just appreciate the crowd
Of 3 people who stayed
I've been waiting up all night
It makes me realise that I
I don't need no Follow
I don't want your Like
I want you to come out to gigs
and dance with me tonight
