Living in the past in a fanzine daze
Losing all the time with our ‘winning’ ways
Everyone will buy one just wait and see
Our fingers on the pulse, just 50p!
Pen, Paper, Scissors and Glue
Pen, Paper, Scissors and Glue
Sighs of disinterest from our social scene
They really want to buy one but can’t - you see …
There’s a hundred million things that they have to do
Before spending 50p on unlucky you
Pen, Paper, Scissors and Glue
Pen, Paper, Scissors and Glue
If I had a Kross it’d be pink, I think?
If I had a Spacehopper I’d hop, I think?
If I were a Stanley I’d die happy.
If I were a Sister, I’d be cool, probably?

Now You're Not Here

You call me darling,
You call me honey,
You call me dear.
I, smile politely as you make plans to leave
Please don’t tell me I am naïve
I never said I want to be on my own
I never said leave me alone
I speak the words but you never hear
I’m on my own even when you’re here
even when you’re here
even when you’re here
even when you’re here
even when you’re here
I call you all the time
You never answer, I persist
I text, I email, I call all your friends
After 6 frantic hours your phone goes dead
I never said I want to be on my own
I never said leave me alone
I speak the words but you never hear
I’m on my own now you’re not here
now you’re not here
now you’re not here
now you’re not here
now you’re not here

I'm always standing in the same place
My back is turned so he can save face
Nothing to gain, everything to lose
His mind's made up, he has to choose
You're the one
You're the one - I love
You're the one
You're the one - I love
Has he done the right thing, will we ever know?
We all make mistakes, so I'm told
He seems so happy when he's with you
It hurts so much what can I do?
You're the one
You're the one - I love
You're the one
You're the one - I love
I look to the future, I forget the past
It seems my happiness was not to last
Happiness isn't easy, I'll have to wait
I'm always standing in the same place
You're the one
You're the one - I love
You're the one
You're the one - I love
You're the one
You're the one - I love
You're the one
You're the one - I love
You are the one, the one that I love

Please don't take this the wrong way
I've got something to say
You think you're the bee's knees
Oh, baby, honey, please
You're not
No, you're not
Talk. Talk. Talk. You never say a thing
"Look at me!" That's all you think
Camera in hand, self obsessed
When all is said and done you're just a shabby mess
Oh, yes
Even in that dress
Not everything is about you
Not everything is about you
Not everything is about you
Determined eyes sparkle with greed
Your gaze it never falls on me.
You know I know just who you are
You're all petty ego and self belief
You are,
Yes, you are
Not everything is about you
Not everything is about you
Not everything is about you
Not everything is about you

Leaving Bohemia Behind
02:34

The depression lifts but the creativity lingers
These cruel streets are awash with strangers
A moment of silence cannot be found
As I pace down Church Street to Girl Group sounds
My head bowed down I see only feet
Cocooned in a shell of self-imposed hide don’t seek
I don’t want to leave but I have to go
This faded, jaded bohemia is not my home
The creativity dips but depression it lingers
On those days when I ask “what am I here for?”
A moment of silence I just cannot find
As I walk across Lawrence Street to Doo Wop sounds
I’m bloodied, I’m bowed by a social disgrace
I’m ashamed to say I now give in to pavement rage
I don’t want to leave but I have to go
This faded, jaded bohemia is not my home
I’m leaving bohemia, I have to go …

Will We Ever Know?
04:37

We wish.
We hope.
We wonder.
But will we ever know?
We don’t know who we are
We don’t know what to do
You cling on to every word of hope
I cling - onto you
I can make it happen
I can make it all come true
I can make it happen
I can make it all come true
We don’t know what we want
We don’t know what we have
We cling on to a life of regrets
We blink, we forget
I can make it happen
I can make it all come true
I can make it happen
I can make it all come true
