Every single book has got an ending,
Even if you feel you've lost the plot.
Live on your knees or die upstanding,
These are the choices that we've got.
We're all
Bound up by words
And lost in rhyme.
By writing it down
Am I wasting all my time?
Feel like I'm wasting all my time.
Every single person's got a history
Even if it's one that you deny.
The scheme of things might be a mystery
But there's no excuse to live in...
There's no excuse to live in lies.
Bound up by words
And lost in rhyme.
By writing it down
Am I wasting all my time?
Feel like I'm wasting all my time.
Feel like I'm pissing in the wind
But I won't give in.

Picking Sides

A door slams shut, leaves a letterbox banging.
I phoned you up and left me hanging
On and on and on
Confrontation or communication or compromising
Just to get along
And on and on
I'm on your side, on the outside.
On the outside, I'm on your side.
I'm on your side.
My head's still ringing from the jokes and jeers.
They've been with me through most of my years.
And on and on and on.
We want a celebration, not alienation.
That is why you'll find us fighting
On and on and on.
I'm on your side, on the outside.
On the outside, I'm on your side.
I'm on your side.

So were you pushed or did you fall?
Do you feel like you're left with sweet fuck all?
Is your spirit crushed or can you come back fighting?
Were you pushed or did you fall?
Is your spirit crushed or can you come back fighting?
What matters is not
Quite how you got so low
But how you get back up.
Now you can't find your reasons why,
It's never been a case of do or die.
I know you've got the guts so let's cut the shite,
Now you can't find your reasons why.
I know you've got the guys so let's go out fighting.
A direct call deserves a straight response.
A vague idea requires some time.
A direct call deserves a straight response.
You gave me yours now you'll get mine.
It doesn't matter how you got so low,
All that matters if how you get back up.
It doesn't matter how low,
You've got to get back up.

Throw your head back
And drink it down.
Smack your lips now
And get ready for the next round.
Tough shit!
Your last orders are taken,
You better pinch yourself
To know that you're not faking.
Finally found a reason
Not to carry on.
But now I've an empty glass
And now the damage is done.
