I try so hard to be different To a new bright allegiance I’m sworn But it seems in our need to be different We all wear the same uniforms This ones saying I fit in This one is saying I don’t This ones saying you know that I will And this ones demanding I won’t This ones saying I’m mighty This one says I don’t care But when you’re carefully playing at not fitting in With that anarchic rebellious stare We try so hard to stand out Whilst maintaining the need to fit in It’s a game just a game don’t you know it’s a game A game that nobody wins Some uniforms are better than others Oh Annalise in your paprika dress A sartorial elegance and a Dickensian gentility With such a fiery prowess This one says I’m a player Clever and oh so precise Should I care to digress and shall confess That clothing is my greatest vice Put em on put em on put em on What is it you’re trying to say Manicured and polite so politically right To neutral colours I sway hey hey hey It’s just another still from a movie Just another page from a book What worked for you then Don’t work for you now You’re ashamed and you say you won’t look Put em on put em on put em on What is it you’re trying to say Manicured and polite so politically right To unimagined colours I stray hey hey hey hey

Danger 05:11

Danger Danger here on planet earth There’s a singer songwriter epidemic and they claim it’s getting worse We cannot move for heartfelt lyrics soft and sweet indulgent gimmicks the song would be over but there’s not enough of me yet in it And so he picked up the phone and haggled lady if it’s true then 555 vinkloore and no less I might just do the work that no one else would dare to contemplate I will create a serum that I know shall break their need to sing to where others be gathered in a room and recite a set of bloated impending doom They shall no more preach messages from a sense of lack for misery loves company as they back slap each other back For we need more shepherds and not more sheep more sheep more sheep more sheep more sheep we need more shepherds not sheep As the sheep start to bleat Baa Baaaaa For it seems that human beings are addicted to their pain Suffering seen from an outside source How shall I call it? INSANE It’s true they are not conscious of acting consciously For the main trade on your planet is to indulge in the ‘woe is me’ For many have so much but nothing fills them up The void they’re trying to fill it can’t be filled up with that stuff I’ll hunt down all the leaders Switch off their moaning genes And in time Planet Earth can radiate with joy and new found dreams

January 05:40

May I introduce myself I’m the month that they say they most fear They call me January I’m the Monday it seems of the year I’m announced with disdain For unlike the weekend Monday holds nothing but dread So many just do the only way through it is through More than simply implied it is said My siblings are wild and gregarious July and August just constantly sneer Well they cackle in droves And December’s all show I’m the short straw that always appears It’s like following Elvis The Beatles Why would anyone do such a thing? At the height of their fame everyone’s screaming their name And no one here wants you to sing No one here wants you no one here wants you No one here wants you to sing Yes I confess that I’m January Not the month that you want me to be I’m uninteresting and bare And would anyone care If the year started with February?

Another Planet 05:50
lyrics

The tallest man with the skinniest features crazy preachers eyes that say Hello – How low? Why don’t you tell me where the kids all go? Peculiar strange or peculiar funny I’m just a vine from the crooked tree that grows How low? Why don’t you tell me where the kids all go? Hello – How low? It’s underneath your vest but I can hear yours fluttering beating that stubborn little muscle inside your chest I found it – I tasted life on another planet You speak a strange kind of butterfly language When all I hear are the caterpillars groan How low? Why don’t you tell me where the kids all go? Ba Da Da Da Da Da Restless hands in the pockets of chaos Shiny faces with mile wide grins that grow Hello – Why don’t you tell me where the kids all go?

I’m Mr ‘Tentative and shy’ in large and crowded places to Mr ‘Mmm I like it most in those wide and open spaces’ Say it like you mean it I’m Mr Small and the world is getting larger Mr Dizzy on the black run I swear that they are harder Say it like you mean it I’m sometimes Mr Clumsy and I’m often Mr Wrong and when I’m Mr Muddle I think I’m him for far too long – Say it like you mean it I’m mischief nonsense grumble fussy worry slow I’m all the Mr Men at once and some I guess you’ve yet to know I’m Mr ‘Work in progress’ to Mr ‘Yes I’m done’ to Mr ‘I am all those things’ to Mr ‘No I think I’m none’ I’m Mr ‘Funky dancer’ tis James Brown in my hips to Mr Marx ‘I wasn’t kissing her I was just whispering in her lips’ – Say it like you mean it I’m Mr ‘Beach boy music’ yes I’ve been happy sad and I’m so good no good so good no good so good at being bad I’m Mr ‘Happy clappy’ they say I’m way too gregarious I smile in places they deem precarious
