Run 02:54
It’s quiet here where nobody can see me but all I want to do is be loud So much is the same in a place that’s changed year by year it’s worn down So I head to the south to the city where dreams are made but nobody can see a little speck in a big parade So we’d better Run Don’t wanna be tied up to this town Where the hell, where the hell, where the hell is your sense of adventure now? Everywhere I go in this country the system tells me to get a real job cos that’s what you’ve got to do to keep doing what you love It’s not up to you to decide what I’m capable of Get in the van, get in the car pack your bags cos we’re going anywhere as long as it’s far Let’s take this trip, even though we might fall If we don’t do this now we might never do this at all
2.
Teachers 02:25
My teachers always told me ‘You’ve got to have a backup plan’ Don’t worry honey I know the future like the back of my hand You aint even heard me, no you aint seen nothing yet I aint gonna get the job done sitting behind that desk The only thing school taught me was what not to do I could’ve conformed to your uniform but I’ve got better things to do I may not have made my mind up and I probably never will At least I’m doing what the hell I want and yeah I’m happy still Life’s this situation that’s always on the move Sometimes I can’t keep up and feel like I’m going to lose Dropping out of school was the best thing that I done I never started learning til I started having fun Dropping out of school was the best thing I could do I never started learning til I started breaking rules I don’t need your rules to tell me what’s wrong and what’s right I just think and I’ve thunk and I think I turned out all right

Safety Rope 03:35
I was fully ready to move on it was the last straw i was out the door I was gone I finally go used to the idea of you not being here but being with someone We'd live happily ever after in our homemade house and I was okay with the idea of falling for somebody else but the only way to do this was to block you out and I knew one day you'd have to come around so we fell back into the love we'd fallen out of we fell back into the love we'd fallen out of I've seen this happen before I let you one foot in and you walk out the door yes I've seen this happen too many times many times you'll just change your mind change your mind and we spent the whole day crying cos it was hard for us both but if it was to work this time darling I need more that a hug I need a safety rope so we can fall back into the love we've fallen out of we fall back into the love we've fallen out of keep your head above the water keep your head above the water keep your head above the water keep your head above the water

Remote 03:23
Her face is cluttered with headbands and glasses and metal and butterflies She covers her natural self to make her look healthy with makeup and hair dyes She says today I will be girly make my hair go curly cos it is the summertime Looks in the mirror wishes she was thinner darling trust me you look fine You need to stop reading those lying deceiving glossy magazines Go out in the sun have fun while you’re still young listen to what music means You need to stop reading those lying deceiving glossy magazines Go out in the sun have fun while you’re still young listen to what music means You boyfriend is not there love is in the air your friends are all you need Turn off the damn telly get fire in your belly and dance dance please Now come on honey if life is not funny then why’s everyone laughing You are all stunning and I’ve got a cunning plan to make you happy You’ve got a lot on your mind yeah I know so do I but how will you reach your goals if you just stay at home? Pack it in let it go Put down the remote Take control

Getting Old 03:20
Now that I’ve stopped growing I feel like I’m getting old Life’s not about knowing or doing what you’ve been told It’s about listening to other people learning new things everyday So say what you really mean man and leave some time to play Get off your lazy arse grandma no you’re not dying just yet Put on your walking boots grandpa you’ve still got further to get Get off your lazy bum mum you’ve still got a lot to do Dad get off the playstation and put on your dancing shoes You’re not as young as you used to be and you’ve got a few lines on your face it seems But still you look the bees knees to me embrace You don’t have to be on your own you know And I don’t think you need any help Just a bit of good old laughter And you can look after yourself You’re not as sick as you think you are And most of its all in your head If you feel like you’re getting old you are So get the hell out of bed Everyone knows something you don’t know So don’t claim to be wiser cos your older As soon as you start going down that road You’re just building your own boulder

Crazy Woman 03:11
crazy woman. how have you made me so weak i am a fighter swept off my feet i was prepared for defeat but now i've found new strength i've yet to reach my peak each time i tried to give you a taste you'd pretend to swallow it down then spit it in my face now i'm left without even a trace of you ever wanting to change so i sit back and ignore it cos i'm just another crazy woman and as soon as i'm happy and smiling all is forgiven but i've not forgotten cos now every time october comes around i feel sick inside and yes my dear next year i fear valentines it's gonna take a lot for me to fully trust you again you're not only my lover i thought that you we're my best friend don't get me wrong i could go on without you but it would be hard and truth is i don't want to you might not always be the best towards me but i feel your love more than i feel love from anybody so i sit back and ignore it cos i'm just another crazy woman

One thing that makes us different Is you like to hunt Even though you’re already surviving you’re just doing it for fun I find you disgusting Your thirst for blood astonishing Does it make you feel dominant? For the purpose of your greed, You breed, then you kill, yeah you kill, does it hurt when it burns? Or do you not feel? Well history is against us and traditions hardly on our side But you’re a fool to think that you could ever stop us saving lives burn burn burn

If you’re trying to wear me down and tire me out you’ve got another thing coming so look out If you’re trying to wear me down and tire me out you’ve got another think coming so you better look out I’ll scream Until the walls come crashing Scream Until the walls come crashing Things could be worse but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be better Someone please take the rocks from out of my back and replace them with feathers Cos all that I see in this world is pressure upon pressure There will always be people that we will all miss forever

Dance 02:47
Dance. there's too many pictures she don't know which one to be in too many pages she don't know where to begin although the story's got a start she end got the patients in her heart to wait 'til the pages fall apart so she's gonna dance dance dance 'til the sun comes up until she falls down she aint looking for love there's too many people she don't know who to rely on too many shoulders she don't know which one to cry on although she knows she's got her friends she only met them this weekend and they are all off their heads she don't need no helping hand she don't expect you to understand she don't need no helping hand you don't understand just pass her another can
