Anyone Can Fall in Love 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Anyone can fall in love And so I don’t think about it much I’m not sitting ‘round waiting I’d rather not get tangled up Coz I think maybe it’s not all that it's cracked up to be Just coz I don’t lap it up Doesn’t mean I’m scared to commit I’ve just got my own plans I’d rather achieve something Coz anyone can fall in love And maybe it’s just not meant for me I’m not being bitten by the bug And I’m not letting love draw first blood from me And with a little bit of luck I’ll keep on dodging this old thing called love It’s a bud you have to nip I won’t be played by this big grift Anyone can fall in love But I think it takes more than it gives Isn’t life hard enough Think maybe we should do away with it It’s so much easier When you take it logically I don’t need to overthink Or need my friends playing ‘rent-a-shrink’ I’m done beating myself up I’m not dropping everything Coz anyone can fall in love And what do you get for it? I don’t have cupid in my eyes And I don’t need to rationalise a thing But if love came up to my door then sure I’d take good care of it No love’s not something to cross off your list It’s not something that you can just pencil in It’s wrong place, wrong time You won’t know what’s hit Don’t watch the clock, don’t watch the pot But be ready for it And maybe I’ve come round to it Or maybe it’s come round to me Coz anyone can fall in love But if there’s some going I won’t pass it up Then I’ll be struck down, cut down in my prime Wishing I’d seen the warning signs Feeling like I’ve ruined my whole life And I will know that love’s arrived If anyone can fall in love Then maybe I should try my luck It’s finally got to me So let’s get this over with Anyone can fall in love But you’ve gotta be in it to win Hope you’ve got the guts Because you get what you put in And maybe someday I’ll get round to it

My Movie 1 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Don’t know what I’m supposed to say or do The writer’s absent without leave Think the director’s gone on a power trip And murdered all suspension of disbelief Don’t know why I’m here, the chemistry’s gone Just say my lines and move the plot along Always cut for time, delete all my scenes Why is it always one for them and never one for me? Why don’t you star in your own damn movie? Why don’t you star in your own damn movie? Always out of focus and out of shot Get their scraps and their backwash Coz I’m a bankrupt artist with no control Stuck inside a thankless role I’m a bit part I’m a hanger on Giving the people what they want But it was critically panned, low audience score And it’s not what I signed on for Why don’t you star in your own damn movie? Why don’t you star in your own damn movie? Why don’t you star in your own damn movie? You’re looking for some direction, but it’s not me I’m in every scene First on the call sheet It’s written and directed by and starring me See it in 3D with all the deleted scenes Won’t be whatever it is that you need me to be Why don’t you star… Why don’t you star in your own damn movie? Why don’t you star in your own damn movie? Why don’t you star in your own damn movie? Been serving someone else, but this one’s for me Here’s one for me

When I Was Twenty-One 02:28
lyrics
buy track
Remember when you used to have all the rage Raring to go, the world was your stage In the wings, a hero in wait For a big moment that never came My time had come, potential on tap All to play for and up for grabs My life was a gift unwrapped Then I drove it straight into a cul-de-sac Know I should be over it all by now S’posed to take it on your side Al I know is I’m still nowhere now I’m running out of time to bide Think my number’s up The years are starting to run Give me the time I had when I was twenty-one It’s another slow news day One more day you’ve pissed away Aimless and shameless, got nothing on These days I just drift and grift along Said one more chance, one last punt Then all my direct debits came at once Know I’ve really messed up my life now I took it for one big joy ride Maybe I can still turn things around I still have time Think the game is up Nowhere left to run Can we go back to when I was twenty-one? Give me the time I had The energy that I had The confidence, the carelessness The dreams and plans I had I know we can’t go back I should be glad But give me the days I had when I was twenty-one

Dilettante 02:21
lyrics
buy track
Says he's found his calling He's jumped the gravy train Jack all trades is off on one And it always ends the same He's gonna start a grassroots movement At least that's what he told me A real self-starter, the would be martyr I give it a week I've got something you'll never have So Dilettante say what you want because I just don't care I'd already half tuned out The joke was wearing thin Then he laid out his five-year plan And I stopped listening I've got something you'll never have So Dilettante say what you want because I just don't care Your words are such a drag So dilettante say what you want if you dare Think this is the bit where You get up and go But you'll be back around before we know I've got something you'll never have So Dilettante say what you want because I just don't care Your words are such a drag So dilettante say what you want if you dare

He's Staring at His Phone 02:45
lyrics

He's staring at his phone He's drunk and alone Dressed up with nowhere to go He feels asymmetrical He's staring at his phone He's drunk and alone Still waiting for that girl to call It was all hypothetical Don't you know how hard he tried? Waiting for her to change her mind Gonna get hurt and make it worse And nothing's gonna change She won't see what he sees And then she'll up and she'll leave Hate to see him this way But you can't force what isn't there He's staring at his phone He's still alone Dressed up with nowhere to go He's staring at his phone He's drunk and alone She said that they could be friends Time to put these thoughts to bed Trial and error Mostly error By now I should really know better And I know I've got to let her go But I know I won't I'm over it It's the last time now Gotta be worth one more try now Don't know how to do this on my own I'm staring at my phone I think I've hit another low Looks like I'm reaping what I sowed And so I'm staring at my phone Don't know where I'm supposed to go Still waiting for someone for anyone to call But I know they won’t

These Unprecedented Times 03:20
lyrics
Didn’t get up until midday today Wondered if we’d turned the clocks back again This is the new normal, feel so detached Ever since we went through the looking glass Can’t even blame anyone for living in fear They’ve crammed so many plot twists into this year Everyone’s acting so ahead of the curve But who knows when things will get better or worse I know you’re worried that it’s been taken out of our hands But life’s a rough sketch of all our plans For all we know it could be like this forever So we’re just doing what we still can And so you wished you didn’t have to live through this And you think you were born too early for your life? Everyone around you is feeling the same way That's something for you to get behind All we can do is choose how to use these moments Stop looking for the best place to hide We might be all we’ve got right now Are you gonna help us through these unprecedented times? I’m the furthest thing from earnest Least that’s what I make myself out to be But I've started opening up to others Ever since things got much bigger than me And so you wished you didn’t have to live through this And you think you were born too late for your life? Well these are the hands that we’ve been dealt And we’re all just as terrified Don’t know how long we’ll be living like this Can’t stand to read the new headlines And so reach out to someone else Are you gonna stay with us through these unprecedented times? And so we’ve gotta live through this Stop letting the wool fall over your eyes Try to look out for somebody else Are you gonna help them through these unprecedented times?

Take Time, Make Time, Waste Time (With You) 03:24
lyrics

Try my hand at earnestness Suspend my disbelief Still don’t know what exactly it is you see in me My instincts are better now Think we see things the same way Know I’m always looking around and waiting for a rainy day But I wanna take time and make time and waste time with you Do you wanna take time and make time and waste time too? You’ve got your demons And you bet I’ve got mine Say “I don’t care I’m good either way” But you know I’m terrified Life’s getting on We better make a move We don’t have as long as we think we do The beautiful now to the bedlam blues Help me deal with being alive Coz I wanna take time and make time and waste time with you Do you wanna take time and make time and waste time too? Been stuck in my mind overthinking for two Do you wanna take time and make time and waste time too? Always trying to be too clever for my own good Practice my lines but I still dry Again and again in my head can’t help myself It’s no way to be alive Living for the sake of living It’s all that we can do Giving for the sake of giving I’m scared that I might lose But I wanna take time and make time and waste time with you Do you wanna take time and make time and waste time too? No shadow of another parting coming from you Do you wanna take time and make time and waste time too? I’ll take time and make time and spend it with you I’ll take time to make time it’s not wasted with you So if you’ve got nothing else that you need to do Do you wanna take time to make time and waste time too? Taking my time with you Making good time with you Spending my time with you Feeling alright with you No tick of time with you Not wasted time with you I’m making time for you Taking my time with you

Drunk on Valentine's Day 02:44
lyrics

Drunk on Valentine's Day Capping off the night Get it out of my system Stop seeing signs It hurts right now But I'll be over you soon It's just a yearly reminder To feel some more shame I was feeling fine Only yesterday So I say "Hey maybe It's something you grow into" Just left a message Some doomed last-ditch attempt Slurred most of my words They'll know what I meant Drunk on Valentine's Day This'll all be over soon I'm already regretting Spilling out my heart Now I'm kicking doors And screaming in the dark Drunk on Valentine's Day Hope I feel better when the morning comes It's like any other day Can't keep blaming it all on bad luck Can't shrug it off as "you win some, you lose some" anymore Can't take someone telling me that "you're still young" Over before it began Nothing to kiss goodbye Must've done something wrong In a previous life Should give it up Tried to shut out the light But it keeps on finding its way through And I know what I'm gonna do Know I've left it too late For New Year's resolutions And I'm in no state to start a new revolution Know I'm not at my best But I'll be good to you Hope that this is something I'll one day laugh about I'll write this down for next year Before I crash out Drunk on Valentine's Day And I hope this time is the last This'll all be over soon
