I've got a habit of breaking in to song When everything starts going wrong I've got a habit of breaking into life Or a least an approximation there-of Well I know that I'm a man with so many fine qualities & I know it seems a shame to only to pick one to justify me I've got a way with words, I get away with words that barely make the sentence work I've got the gig in the bag, I've got a gig in a bag, I better find some coins in there Well I know that I'm a man with so many inconsistencies & I know it seems a shame to only pick one to justify me Coz I'm not just a passable face Coz I've got a personality that's sick to the taste & I know I am out of luck I'm not just a passable face Coz my failure is an action that's so close I can taste it & I know I am out of luck (P)ossible habits include (A)cting like I'm (S)omebody, but (S)sombody's not my name (A)sking for good advice (B)ecause I like to add vice (L)aughing ain't no fun if (E)verybody's sincere Well I know that I'm a man with so many fine qualities & well, I know it seems a shame to only to pick one to justify me I'm not just a passable face Coz I've got a personality that's sick to the taste & I know I am out of luck I'm not just a passable face Coz my failure is an action that's so close I can taste it & I know I am out of luck

Mr. E & Miss. Understanding have been having some problems recently at home Despite her name she's not too understanding & she wants much more that a single letter man Mr. E says that she's "more like misdemeanour" But by contrast, she grows sick of standing under his thumb Well I guess she's under-standing in a literal way Mr. E (one letter) & Miss. Understanding (standing under) have been Pondering Pacifist Plots to Perplex Plans But despite the P's they still flirt with disbanding But their literal names won't consummate themselves Mr. E realised you can't judge a book by it's title & Coincidently she found out there's no mystery There is no mystery to Mr. E Mr. E & Miss. Understanding have been having some problems recently at home Mr. E & Miss. Understanding have been having some problems recently at home Mr. E & Miss. Understanding have been having some problems recently at home (Closing time for Mr. E) Mr. E & Miss. Understanding have been having some problems recently at home (Closing time for Mr. E)

Superguy 04:31
I tried to save the world But I couldn’t change the world Oh well, I guess the cashier didn’t have the coins available I tried to fight against sin But sometimes the bad guys win Oh well, I guess being a hero’s not a valid career choice I may not have a signal in the sky But you can email me anytime I may not have a flashing red phone by my side But you can call me anytime But remember i’m just… a superguy I want the darkest evil to come So maybe I could be the chosen one Oh well, I guess i’m chosen to have my name called on a tannoy I wanna be like superman But I guess i’m just a super man Oh well, I guess i’m more like ‘Super-common-average-Joe Man’ I may not have a signal in the sky But you can email me anytime I may not have a cape or a bat-shaped knife But you can call me anytime But remember i’m just a superguy I can’t tell you why some girls like average guys I can’t save you from the green Kryptonite I can’t tell you why some chancers still succeed I can’t fly up there and save your cat that’s stuck in a tree I may not have a signal in the sky But you can email me anytime I may not wear my pants on the outside But you can call me anytime You may not draw your powers from a spider bite But I might text you at anytime You may not have a temper or purple shorts, thats fine But I mite call you at anytime So try to be just... a superguy... or girl

Ambulance 03:11
I, I was thinking ‘bout the time I drove to work behind an Ambulance I, I was thinking ‘bout the time I drove to work behind an Ambulance Some people work behind bars Other people live behind bars Both physical and metaphorically they’ve got you down, but you’re… You’re sick of it now You’re sick of it now You’re sick of the time spent alone With just the memory of things that keep you warm, but cold within I, I was thinking ‘bout the time I drove to work behind an Ambulance I, I was thinking ‘bout the time I drove to work behind an Ambulance I may not work behind an Ambulance But I thought: “well, we’re going to the same place” I just mite be a few years late So while i’m getting some Popcorn, please save my place I’m sick of it now I’m sick of it now I’m sick of the time spent alone With just the memory of things that keep me warm, but cold within I’m sick of it now I’m sick of it now I’m sick of the time spent alone With just the memory of things that keep me warm, but cold within Some people jump the queue and miss the pre-show entertainment Their bed is already made But let’s not talk about that now, I’ve got some bargains to grab on Ebay And if i’m lucky, it’s ‘Buy it now’ Buy it now I’m sick of it You’re sick of it We’re sick of it Yeah, really sick of it Coz we’re sick of it now We’re sick of it now We’re sick of the time spent alone With just the memory of things that keep us warm, but cold within We’re sick of it now We’re sick of it now We’re sick of the time spent alone With just the memory of things that keep us warm, but cold within

Change 02:40
If money’s no object then why do we spit on the poor? Ignore all the problems until they are found at our door This is the time for change This is the time for change If people are dyin’ then why aren’t we tryin’ to help? Put our pride away and our ego’s be put on the shelf This is the time for change This is the time for change If talent’s so useful then why aren’t I on MTV? Maybe i’m deluded and i’m not as good as I thinking But, This is the time for change This is the time for change The haircuts are changing And fashion is changing And I think priority needs re-arranging Coz everyone know now that everyone’s out for themselves The brand names are changing The products are changing But we know the cash-flow won’t be re-arranging All I want to know is please tell me, when can I be famous? This is the time for change This is the time for change This is the time for change This is the time for change

Vendor 04:26
Someone said that it’s the time for change But I am stuck in the mud and all i’ve got is notes The Vendor that i’m scraping at won’t take my cash-flow But I am lured in by it’s wares and the promise of satisfaction If only I could reach inside it’s frame Then I would have my pick of the Vendors life aids Surely it will make my life complete But I romanticise coz the transaction’s incomplete I need some change But I want it served on a golden plate With a towel wrapped around your arm I need some change Coz the cheque I cashed for fame must have bounced And I need someone to bail me out Someone said that it’s the time for change But I have come too far to stop failing now I need some change But I want it served on a golden plate With a towel wrapped around your arm I need some change Coz the cheque I cashed for fame must have bounced And I need someone to bail me out I need some change… I need some change… I need some change But I want it served on a golden plate With a towel wrapped around your arm I need some change Coz the cheque I cashed for fame must have bounced And I need someone to bail me out
