Chutzpah! Lyrics
1. The Jackson Whites
Neither Ghost nor a transient spirit
Just a face staring out another window
Looking through all the lights of Brooklyn
Where the dark has a million other faces
I I I like getting lonely
I I I miss this feeling
I I I feel no fear in being
Lonely, lonely, I wanna be lonely
I wanna be alone just like the
The Jackson Whites
I feel the apocalypse is
Within my sight
Mother when you see your blue eyed boy
Would you still love him now?
The city ain’t no place for laying down
There’s better wage in hell than here right now
And damn, if I’m not a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a
Never graced as a true companion
I burn circles in the forest of reason
I break off and I penetrate alone
The full weight of the emptiness calling
I I I wanna be nowhere
I I I wanna tell you something
I I I have a barrel of opinions
Lonely, lonely, I am , everlone
I wanna be alone just like the
The Jackson Whites
I feel the apocalypse is
Within my sight
Mother when you see your blue eyed boy
Would you still love him now?
The city ain’t no place for laying down
There’s better wage in hell than here right now
And damn, if I’m not a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a
I wanna be alone just like the
The Jackson Whites
I feel the apocalypse is
Within my sight
Mother when you see your blue eyed boy
Would you still love him now?
The city ain’t no place for laying down
There’s better wage in hell than here right now
And damn, if I’m not a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a dying man
I lie dying in a hole
I’m a
2. Plastic Jeebus
I’ve been looking for a new direction
Found the cheapest way of selling out
You’ve got the science down to perfection
So do what you want
Do what you will
But do it now
You’ll learn something
Your cred means nothing
The world wants nothing but hits
Until it makes you sick
‘Cause all we are, are broken pieces
A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus
We mean nothing, nothing
‘Cause all we are, are broken pieces
A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus
We mean nothing, nothing, to anyone
Just like a plastic Jesus
Hey
‘Cause all we are, are broken pieces
A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus
We mean nothing, nothing
‘Cause all we are, are broken pieces
A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus
We mean nothing, nothing
‘Cause all we are, are broken pieces
A sacred heart on a plastic Jesus
We mean nothing, nothing, to anyone
Just like a plastic Jesus
Hey
3. The Only One
These are the words that I've saved
Saved for the perfect day
But they won’t get used
If I keep waiting on you
This is the way that I feel
I wish that it wasn't real
But it's more than true
I can't keep waiting on you
So open your eyes and see where I'm standing
Straight in your line of sight so you
Should make up your mind
Do what it is that you need to
‘Cause I'm not leaving
You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one, when we're falling out
I want to make it better
These are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let's just start all over again
Now that the games we've played
Were stripped down and thrown away
I can clearly see
That you've been waiting on me
So open your eyes and see where I'm standing
Straight in your line of sight so you
Should make up your mind
Do what it is that you need to
‘Cause I'm not leaving
You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one, when we're falling out
I want to make it better
These are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let's just start all over again
Bygones are bygones
And they should stay that way
We've got the world at our fingers
Let’s stick it back together
We could make it better
We could make it better
You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one, when we're falling out
I want to make it better
These are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let’s just start all over again
4. John Of Violence
When the people ceased to cheer for John Of Violence
He resigned to spend his time in a tomb of silence
And when he struck out for the third and final time
On lifeline number nine
There was nothing left to be unafraid of
And moments from the bridge
Payback is a bitch
And you never know until you’re falling
Just how far that is
Keeping to the plan
Things got out of hand
And his taste for flesh was nothing else
Than biting feeding hands and tasting silence
John Of Violence
When you feed a demon alcohol and sedatives
The amnesia that kills regret is relative
To the sum of the sins that you’re trying to forget
Once the reputation's set
As one man thinks it uncool to remember
And moments from the bridge
Payback is a bitch
And you never know until you're falling
Just how far that is
Keeping to the plan
Things got out of hand
And his taste for flesh was nothing else
Than biting feeding hands and tasting silence
And moments from the bridge
Payback is a bitch
And you never know until you're falling
Just how far that is
Keeping to the plan
Things got out of hand
And his taste for flesh was nothing else
Than biting feeding hands
And moments from the bridge
Payback is a bitch
And his taste for flesh was nothing else
Than biting feeding hands and tasting silence
5. You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
You’ll never see her out on her own
She always seems like a tower of stone
She’s never angry, most of the time
She’s outta sight and I’m out of my mind
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
She’ll never judge and she’s never in doubt
I’m the only bad thing to come out of her mouth
She brings the best out of all of her friends
Her golden era, it never ends
The girl away from me is still as far away as she’s ever been
The girl away from me is still so far away
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
And she’ll drink most guys under the bar
And not get sick in the back of the car
Okay, so her music and her movies are bland
These days it’s enough to get a nine out of ten
The girl away from me is still as far away as she’s ever been
The girl away from me is still so far away
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
The girl away from me is still as far away as she’s ever been
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!
Wo-Woah!

6. Tim Smith
Can a man make a difference?
Could our God have a preference?
When tomorrow needs a legacy
Where will the unit shifters be?
When the future needs a soundtrack
Not a name on a contract
Only justice and quality
Not a face on a TV
When melody and words are free
And consumers are singing in harmony
They will bow to the ground
Of the glitterest sound
And the bells will ring
As the populace sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
All praise that the greatest man who ever walked on the earth
Is still around
When a need is not satisfied
Mediocrity is utilised
But the need does not disappear
It only hibernates another year
When the people call out for a change
No corporation holds the reins
When the people demand to feel
They will take hold of the wheel.
When melody and words are free
And consumers are singing in harmony
They will bow to the ground
Of the glitterest sound
And the bells will ring
As the populace sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
All praise that the greatest man who ever walked on the earth
Is still around
7. Low Energy Vortex
In the centre of the thunder
Selfishly I wander
Along the road of evil
Through the canyons where
Hope can't find me there
And I divorce myself from feeling
Nothing's gonna let me down now
Nothing's gonna let me down now
Shallow breathing makes it so hard to fight this
The calmest storm could blow me away
Stop the bleeding before you start a crisis
And keep the poison potent as it courses through my veins
Blackened windows hide the secrets
The sickness and the weakness
Locked up with the regrets
Stolen eyes deny
That the world outside
Has an offer that can beat this
Nothing's gonna let me down now
Nothing's gonna let me down now
Shallow breathing makes it so hard to fight this
The calmest storm could blow me away
Stop the bleeding before you start a crisis
And keep the poison potent as it courses through my veins
My veins
Yeah
Shallow breathing makes it so hard to fight this
The calmest storm could blow me away
Stop the bleeding before you start a crisis
And keep the poison potent as it courses through my veins
My veins
Yeah
8. You Took The Sunshine From New York
Butter coconut as a welcome smell
Baby pigeon seed on the window sill
Kitchen cupboard full of granola bars
Walking through the city beneath the stars
And loving every dog on the Lower East Side
Fighting for the bill in the taxi ride
Your pink knickers sit on the living room floor
‘Cause no one wants to clear them up no more
It rained the day
You took that ride to JFK
And made your way back home again
There’s nothing much more lonely than
The rain beating down on the fire escape
The grey skies over the United States
When you walk
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the
Tiny little squares of Green & Blacks
Watching DVDs of tits and ass
Long summer days on Rockaway Beach
Surprisingly hard and far to reach
Homies in a box for 50¢
The squirrels kinda wondered where you went
The bathroom seems a little light on stuff
The bed’s unmade and the TV’s off
It rained the day
You took that ride to JFK
And made your way back home again
There’s nothing much more lonely than
The rain beating down on the fire escape
The grey skies over the United States
When you walk
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
And when you go
Things slow back down
To the crawl
That drags me around
It rained the day
You took that ride to JFK
And made your way back home again
There’s nothing much more lonely than
The rain beating down on the fire escape
The grey skies over the United States
When you walk
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine from New York
You took the sunshine
9. Mazel Tov Cocktail
There's a fever in the cabin
There's a devil in the garden
A shark fin in the brainwaves
Stopping anything starting
Grey skies fight and the sun dies shining
Then the telephone rings with a silver lining
Take me out, take me out tonight
Get me hooked in good and stick the wheels on tight
Take me out, take me out tonight
'Cause when the light has gone
Just a whole lot of shakes going on
Yeah
If I can wait a little longer
If I can keep on believing
Just a location and a number
Is all the intel I'll be needing
Where the lights are bright and the girls are smiling
Where it sounds so good it'll stop me thinking
Take me out, take me out tonight
Get me hooked in good and stick the wheels on tight
Take me out, take me out tonight
'Cause when the light has gone
Just a whole lot of shakes going on
Grey skies fight and the sun dies shining
Then the telephone rings with a silver lining
Where the lights are bright and the girls are smiling
Where it sounds so good it'll stop me thinking
Just a whole lot of shakes going on
Just a whole lot of shakes going on
Just a whole lot of shakes going on
Just a whole lot of shakes going on
10. Chutzpah!
It’s kinda hard to relax when the city’s alive
Man, what a place
Got to hustle
Got to show everyday
Being good ain’t enough
Got to beat other guys
This approach ain’t a race
It’s a fight to the death
There is no second place
Only first
Kinda weird don’t you think?
Only thing is there’s no time to think
If you do reach a point
Late at night
Then you will fall asleep
Even then time is off like a train
Got to hold on tight
It’s kinda hard to relax
When the city’s alive
24 hours a day
Every day
Hey hey hey
It’s kinda hard to reach out
When they don’t know you’re alive
Keep up
Look ahead
Gather your chutzpah
Rich is the man
With the sense that a self
Is a part of the sum
Of the whole entity
Meet the man who provides nothing more
Than a life for himself
He will eat, never taste
Never feel what it is
To give all this away
And receive in return
More than he ever had
In the land of the free
And the home of the brave
May the brave be the meek
And the free be the brave
It’s kinda hard to relax
When the city’s alive
24 hours a day
Every day
Hey hey hey
It’s kinda hard to reach out
When they don’t know you’re alive
Maybe on account of the economy
Troubles on the up
Seem a little more pronounced
