The world is burning down
in a pile of piece of shit
and the world is burning down
I cannot wait for this
The fires in city
and the poison we've been drinking
cries filled with pity
This is what I have been waiting
And the world is burning down x2
The world is burning down
I can tell you how I'm feeling
and the world is burning down
This is what you said
(kazoo instrumental)
I love you better
cause we are gonna die
And hold my hand tighter
as the world turns to shite
(now0
The world is burning down
The world is burning down
in a pile of piece of shit
and the world is burning down
I cannot wait for this

I know I need to grow up
Like my dad needs to show up
and singing is my passion
But Music is not the life for me
and I don't get the whole punk thing
It's not the late seventies
My studies I've been failing
Music is a last resort for me
(instrumental)
I met a girl at the aquarium
on New Year's Eve
We had a chat in front of the sharks
But it wasn't midnight for me
Her name was Jess
She was the first woman to call me a success
I said no
She said oh
I asked why and
here's how I replied
(sing with me)
I know I need to grow up
Like my dad needs to show up
and singing is my passion
But Music is not the life for me x2

Open Mic Night

Every time see someone sing
I can't help feeling
that they're better than me
Every time I go outside
Thoughts come plague my mind
About how much I hate the view tonight
(instrumental)
Everytime I try and play
My fingers hurt
My heart, it aches
In this song that I sing
I hope you cry then grin

One eyed Hatchie
I miss you solely
oh daily, nightly
you're monosightly
I wish you saw me
the state I'm in
oh, lick me, sleep please
I need your company
From my head I'm feeling lonely
Cause you're my family
I lost my family
(instrumental)
Cause you're my sunshine
My only sunshine
you make me happy
when skies are grey
you never know dear
how much I love you
oh please don't take my sunshine away

Your name is James
and I know you're in pain
and I'm sorry about that
I feel the same
In these chords I've arranged
and I'm sorry about that (ooh)
And if I were a god
I would show everyone
That you're not the only one
in pain
And every time you speak
I feel you're sorrow
and every time we weep
I wish I could borrow

My old best friend had a baby
We will drink for him tonight
oh and
I haven't seen him since the funeral
He's knocked up a girl twice
He's a dad at the age of 18
I guess this is wonderful news
He'll be a good daddy
as we will sing the blues
You see,
I'm worried
for me and for you
It's been so long
and I
Hope I'll see you soon
My old best friend had a baby
I guess this is wonderful news
He'll be a good daddy
as we sing the blues
You see,
I'm worried
for me and for you
It's been so long
and I
Hope I'll see you soon

And I'm filled with commotion
Cause I've had a bad day
I'm so confused now
and I don't know the date
The world spins around
70 miles per hour they say
But the world seems so still
and life seems grey
(instrumental)
So come sing with me
My darling dear
I haven't met you yet
But I know you're near
Cause I'm sick of emotion
Cause I've had a good day
I know I'm gonna change and
I know I'm afraid

Last Week I quit my job
Cause I weren't happy
but now I have no money
as I lost my income
I regret my decision
That would better, but whether
If I have enough to carry it through
For you
I regret my decision
Like Hitler in the winter
When he tried to invade russia
Although that went bad for the better
I have no money
I have no money
I have no money
Money is a social construct

Time Keeps on Ticking
It doesn't stop for anyone
Time Keep on ticking
Time Keeps on Ticking
Even When you're in bed
Time Keeps on Ticking
When you're depressed
Not talking to anyone
Just stuck in you're bed
But Time keeps on ticking
Time Keeps on Ticking
When you're hung up on them
Time Keeps on Ticking
When they're living their best life
Not thinkimg about you
or how they stuck you up
and I'm sorry
That Happened
I'm Sorry
That Happened
I'm sorry
That happened
but you need to get out of bed
Time Keeps on Ticking x2
Time Keeps on ticking
eveb during this song
Time Keeps on ticking
it says on your iPod
unless if you pause but
Please don't do that
Cause I need to make a living
and you need to get out of bed
TIme Keeps on Ticking x2
Time keeps on ticking
It will get easier
Time Keeps on ticking
and do me a favour
and remember
that you have you're life to live
and it will get
easier
Time Keeps on Ticking

I feel sorry for every girlfriend of every musician
Cause they are the source of their inspiration
They hear their cries and whines
and they hear it all the time
And even when they break up they'll hear their chords
cause heartbreak is shitty and makes them wanna write more
Musicians really are a disease
They makes you upset
and make you wanna scream
I guess...

Epilogue?
01:45

Cause the only girl I ever loved
Was born in this stupid indie reference
I wonder if she died and went above
or just faded out of existence
Cause now we much
Pack up every piece
of the
Life we used to love
just to
Keep ourselves at peace
enough to carry on
And that song was written by Neutral Milk Hotel
I really love them, I think they are swell
But
Please don't sue me
Please don't tell
This album is stupid
These songs they are hell
Love songs should rot there as well
As it reminds us that love really kills
A noose for a necktie
Death for a mum
These metaphors really sum up
my heart
my soul
Because becoming famous
Becoming famous
Because Becoming famous
should never ever be the goal
