Working Class Rough
05:39

We start our day with mobile alarms
Telling us another shift is due
And when it’s on the time drags along
Before we know it our own time is through
We put up with loads of hot air
Higher suits they tell us ‘we’re the same’
But as soon as issues arise
We’re the doorstep that they lay the blame
We will never be the same, it’s just a game
Just to oppress the working class rough
But we will achieve our day
Things they will change, rising today
The working class rough
And when we rest, they get on our backs
Call us lazy then they make their cuts
Then we’re out of jobs, they call us workshy
Apply for a new one then we’re snubbed
The police target us because we’re guinea pigs
For them to use as target practice
But we don’t let it get us down
Love is our weapon to combat the malice
I sing it loud and proud and if it hurts you bad
Maybe you’d better change your ways

I Tried It On

Look at the way she dress
You know she wants it? Yes
But she seems to be way out of my league
She shakes her back up fine
The boys all get in line
But she’s only got her eyes on me
She traps me with her pout
I wanna scream out loud
Anticipate her sexy straddle
I wanna make her shiver
Get inside of her river
And swim with the dread paddle
I tried it on with her but she said no
Look at the way she tease
She got me on my knees
All I can do is just surrender
But I know this type of girl
There’s better in the world
But I hang on to her every letter
She makes me nasty
I can’t be too hasty
I’m trying to make her see
That I can get her freaky
But she’s so damned sneaky
This type of girl’s always out of reach
I tried it on with her but she said no

I make mistakes like any other man
I know I’m not perfect and I always make it up
But I know you gossip based on what you see
To lower my spirit but now enough’s enough
I’m not gonna let you ruin my life
I’m not gonna let you bring me down
I’m not gonna let you ruin my life
I’m always gonna be around
You’re living a fantasy where you think
I’m your slave
But those days are long, long gone
No humanity. No morals
Write me off ‘cause I’m bouncing back
And it’s on, on, on
I’m not gonna let you ruin my life
I’m not gonna let you bring me down
I’m not gonna let you ruin my life
I’m always gonna be around
I’m free and there’s not a thing you can do

Don't Be Scared Of Me
04:36

I don’t ask for much in life
Apart for your time and love
I’m not really good at these things
But just bear with me now. I’ve got enough
And I can make your life better
I’ll give you everything I’ve got
Don’t listen to the others
I’ve got the lot
Lady, don’t be shy
Don’t be scared of me
Lady, it’s fine
Don’t be scared of me
Lady, I’m safe
Don’t be scared of me
I don’t know what you’ve heard
But I’ve got feelings like anyone else
Why do you find that so hard to believe?
I’m human as well
So take a chance with me
And let me caress your soul
And lets get flesh to flesh
And we will become whole
Lady, don’t be shy
Don’t be scared of me
Lady, it’s fine
Don’t be scared of me
Lady, I’m safe
Don’t be scared of me

Another Step To Sunshine

They deal us the heavy cards
But that’s ok, they can do what they like
And lady, I’ve got all the aces
I hear the robins singing
Wake up to a lovely day
Nice hot shower to freshen up
Eat a hearty breakfast and be on my way
Make the most of days like this
They only come now and then
Smile at all of those I meet
That includes you my friend
Another step to, another step to
Another step to sunshine
I love it when I, I love it when I
I love it when I feel fine
A walk through the town
Always makes me smile
Walk past the shop sales
And see the bikini ladies all the while
And see the families all basking in the rays
And enjoy natural light
And it’s days like these that make me glad to be alive

Tears Of Blood
04:28

Why must you make it so hard for me girl?
I’m struggling to read your mind
And if you don’t like the way I look
Perhaps it’s better if you were born blind
I’m making plans to meet you
But you keep making excuses
And I just look like a fool
And I wonder ‘What’s the use?’
And I wish that you could look at this situation
Then you will see the tears of blood streaming from
my eyes
I think its better you just look in the other direction
I’m shedding tears of blood all day and all through the
night
If love was just a disease
Then you could give me all of your germs
But your heart’s always locked
This cold treatment’s not what I deserve
I liked you a lot but you don’t believe in yourself
If this is what you want then I’ll just say ‘Oh well!’
And I wish that you could look at this situation
Then you will see the tears of blood streaming from
my eyes
I think its better you just look in the other direction
I’m shedding tears of blood all day and all through the
night

Rising Thunder
04:07

I want to know what to do
When you’re stuck in a world of people who just aren’t real
I want to know where to go
To get away from people who think that they’re the deal
Avoid the rising thunder
You need to put all your egos asunder
Avoid the falling under
Unless you want to become another number
These fools think they’ve got it made
Stuck in a circle, a web full of lies
I’m trying to keep it on the real
But no-one will care until the day I die
Avoid the rising thunder
You need to put all your egos asunder
Avoid the falling under
Unless you want to become another number
Don’t you know too many egos can be too much for one to take
And don’t you know
Too many egos reveal the fact that you’re all fake

I don’t know what the issue is
But you want to be someone you’re not
You want to be wrong and strong
And you envy people who’ve got the things you
don’t got
I’m seeing fires in the town
And all the fighting is getting me down
I’m trying to stay well out of the way
And do my best to get through the day
When the flames are put out there’s no doubt
That people will know what you’re about
When the flames are put out
I don’t know why you burnt your own town down
What do you hope to gain out of this
You sent us several steps backwards
Turned London into smoky mist
But the mistrust of authorities is there
The media never solve the problem
When you really think about it
It’s really us versus them
When the flames are put out there’s no doubt
That people will know what you’re about
When the flames are put out
