It's a family function
Everybody has a jolly good time
Pour yourself
Another free drink

Procrastinate

I've been tryin'
To curb my enthusiasm
Enlighten my view
Make a few healthier choices in my diet
I hate when girls order the diet version of anything
Wait that's right you're tryin'
To focus less on girls
And more on your art form
Cause your songs are gonna make ladies gush
And give you that rush
All too familiar rush when a woman approves of you
Day in
And maybe day out
Who knows what day it is this week
They all kinda just blur into one
Am I having too much fun
Or is it doing me good to stay aloof and say I'll do it tomorrow
But will tomorrow ever come
I bet you top dollar it won't
Cause you
Come here and you
You go there and
You walk around avoiding the fear in your head and you
Come here and you
Go there and
You walk around avoiding the fear in your head and you
Come here and you
Go there and
You walk around avoiding the fear in your head and you
Come here and you
You go there and
You walk around avoiding the fear in your head and you
Say
You say that you're lost
But you're not lost you're procrastinating
I'm gettin' sick of waitin' for
You to realise your potential
You could do so well

Complacent

Complacency has got me by the balls
Squeezing gently
Says life’s a bitch and whispers to me soft
Its easier if you give in to your genetic settings
Little boi
Staring forth unto the daily specials
I’m undecided
My phone keeps ringing
I thought you’d never call
I need a moment to figure out what I’ll be eating
This waitress won’t leave me alone
Yeah I’m not sure where to go from here baby
I’m fresh outta bullshit
And my blood flows not helping
Have I satisfied
Your criteria for a one night lie
Take me home and break down on the couch
You don’t wanna do this
Cause you think I’m going to slip out in the night
Well you’re probably right cause I’m over all these psycho bitches
Theres a little bit of spinach in her teeth
Yeah I’m not sure where to go from here baby
I’m full of confusion
Missing out on my beauty sleep
Staying in bed til ten
Mulling over what I’m gonna do til tomorrow
Have I satisfied your criteria

So Many Things
03:23
|

|
Counting money
Not counting time
The floorboards have a new scratch everyday
And now my phones
Got a crack runs right through
Jessica's cleavage
Distractify and multiply
In times you start feeling something sad
Don't let it in
This institution
These New Years resolutions never mean a thing
Just leave me to do all my things
All the things that need to be done
Before I enjoy life
Need to check things off my list
Check check check check check
Check check check
But still there's more
And it's growing like the mould on that nice expensive cheese
Sitting in the fridge
Just leave me to do all my things
All the things that need to be done
Before I enjoy life
Does this make any sense to you
Can't allow myself to be blue
So I keep doing
So many things
Many things
So many things
Many things
Many things
So many

You forgot your sister's boyfriend's name
Just say "hey man"
He won't notice a thing

Motel Runaway
03:49
|

|
Everyday is a holiday
At the Motel Runaway
Take a moment to celebrate
The absence of your dreams
Why aspire when dissonance is in fashion
You'll play some off chords
And win all the awards
For your instant fame
Sellin' bottled water
Maybe it's not as much fun
As the pictures say
You spend a lot of time lookin' that way
And the deadness you strive to convey in your eyes
Well we know it's contrived
You continue to thrive at your parents place
Now your on high rotation
Paying for hugs with a thousand strangers
And I had to close my eyes
Fucking around with different filters
Oh it's a shame there ain't one for bullshit
And I didn't ever catch sight
Of anything
Real in this
Everyday is a blessing
Away from plastic bay
Take a moment to celebrate
The view from the top of the hill
The actings pretty good
But the show is kinda average
Cause no one in that place is going anywhere sacred

Cry
02:33
|

|
I'm only laughing when I'm laughing at your quirks
I'm only hungry when I'm sober and it hurts
People think they're funny
Today they really sad
Nasty cyclists better watch their backs
Cause coming down from Splendour is a drag
All you can do is cry
Cry cry cry cry
All you can do is cry
Cry cry cry cry
All you can do is cry cry cry
Cry all you like
I'm tippy toeing not to wake the sleeping friends
That boys inside that girl and passed out in my bed
I take an Ibuprofen
Wash it down with some aspirin
Magpies are now swooping you're so sad
Cause someones missing a piece of their head
One percent brain powers all that's left
All you can do is cry
Cry cry cry cry
All you can do is cry
Cry cry cry cry
All you can do is cry cry cry
Cry all the time

Another Focus
03:19
|

|
Another focus
Another sum'n to turn my mind to
So softly spoken
Never to hard to spend my time with you
Tis' the season
My lungs they blossom in your scent
Don't keep me waiting
Cause I will wait until I'm spent
Oh wait until I'm spent
Could it be you x3
I think you like me
And if you do please tell don't make me guess
The birds and bees and flowers
Your floral dress looks nice won't you undress
Oh when we're finished we can sleep forever
Rest our worldly wearied eyes
Leave all the paperwork and feel the weather
Under these
Jacaranda trees
I'll be on my knees
No begging just squeeze
You
Could it be you
Could it be you
Could it be you x 3
Could it be you
Could it be you
Could it be

Johnnys on the table licking chocolate off the candles
Margaret laughs so loud it makes you cringe
Uncle Bob is flirting with his spouses younger sister
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
It's a family function
Have a sausage in a piece of bread
Here's some coleslaw to go with it
