Armour Plated Soul

Yeah I’m wasting away and all I’ve got to say
Is it’s lovely to see you.
If I look in the mirror would I not appear to be older & greyer
It only feels like a minute ago
I was ready to take on the world.
But time it never slows for the grind
An I find that my fortune’s already been sold
I’ve never been one to sit and admit
that I’m fortunate to still be here.
I’ll keep trudging along and keep singing my songs
’til the sound of the gong.
It only feels like a minute ago
I was ready to take on the world.
I fought and I lost
But to no other cost
Than an armour plate for my soul
Now I’m here at the peak and there’s nothing to speak of
That I have achieved yeah.
Now running downhill, head-first for the thrill
‘Cos there’s nothing lose yeah
It only feels like a minute ago
I was ready to take on the world.
It’s a world that is cursed
And it’s people perverse
So if it’s ok with you I’ll just leave yeah

Keep It In

When your’e trying to let the light
win over your darker side
The battle it rages on,
but it’s all that you can do to hide.
Never can you let it show,
No-one would ever let it slide
When you talk and you want to know
But you can’t look them in the eye
‘Cos all the shame I feel is reflected in your face
When you look at me asking me why.
I want the ground swallow me
When I realise the hurt that’s caused
When I can’t keep it inside
Never can you let it show,
No-one would ever let it slide
When you talk and you want to know
But you can’t look them in the eye

Teeth

Sitting playing Xbox, chewing on a mini egg.
I felt and heard a loud crunch, and i though "Man! What the heck?"
I went to the bathroom sink & spat it all right out.
It sat there looking at me, my tooth it had fell out!
Its not like im 7 or 8 and I want them all to drop out.
I'll out them under my pillow at night and wait for the tooth fairy to come out.
Get that 50p to spend on sugary sweets!
I got about another 20 of these, that 20 more great treats!
I know, I know.
Im gonna have no teeth when I get old.
But whats bothering me, is that they're falling out
when im only 33 now honey.
To the kitchen cabinet, gonna see what I can find.
Some high strength painkillers, get this problem off my mind.
Now't there thats good for me but what did i expect?
Got a bottle of Glenmorangie, im gonna get it down my neck
I know, I know.
Im gonna have no teeth when I get old.
But whats bothering me, is that they're falling out
when im only 33 now honey.
I know, I know.
Im gonna be drunk & toothless when im old.
But whats bothering me, is that they're falling out
when im only 33 now honey.
And I'll say
Where have all my teeth gone?
Where have all my teeth gone?
Where have all my teeth gone?
Where have all my teeth gone?
Where have all my teeth gone?
Where have all my teeth gone?
Where have all my teeth gone?
Where have all my teeth gone?

The Man You Deserve

I know I, I could do better.
I hope you know that I love you to the letter.
And I want to be the man that you deserve.
I want you to know you're the only girl in the world.
And you cam home when I needed you.
I didnt know where to turn, so I called you.
And I want to be the man that you deserve.
I want to bring you the whole universe.
Would you hold my hand, we're walking on air.
We'll grow old together, its all that I care.
Cos all that you do it just builds me up
and make me feel that it's ok to sometimes feel like giving up.
Your soul it just heals me and fills me with pride.
We're invincible cos you’re by my side.
And with you there's no way i'll get hurt.
I wanna be the man that you deserve
That you deserve
That you deserve
That you deserve
That you deserve

Jigsaw Man

I don't understand how this game should be planned.
Don't really know why I'm here.
Something that died has woken inside.
Im afraid I missed the trip my dear.
What Id like to tell you is what this all means.
If it made sense I surely would.
What is it I do thats so wrong & untrue.
I can't see the trees for the wood
Every last part of me just wants to fit in.
I feel like the Jigsaw Man
Five Thousand pieces rattling round in a box.
From the outside you'd think you can
Why am I always waiting for it to stop raining.
Always pontificating never accelerating
Why am I always waiting for it to stop raining.
Always pontificating never accelerating
Every last part of me just wants to fit in.
I feel like the Jigsaw Man
Five Thousand pieces rattling round in a box.
From the outside you'd think you can
