Coupled With Lyrics
1. Stormy In The North But Karma In The South
Check it out
Just see it, just see it
So what’s getting in your way?
Better get out now
Just leave it, just leave it
They can’t hear a word you say
And all of his chances are slim
And nobody wants to be him
The time has come to work it out
It’s stormy in the North
But karma in the South
He made a vow
To be it, to be it
So even when no-one cares
They showed him how
To mean it, to mean it
It sure can get cold out there
And all of his chances are slim
And nobody wants to be him
The time has come to work it out
It’s stormy in the North
But karma in the South
Step back, let the packs attack
Well the tongues are jet black
But you’ve got to spit back
Relax Jack, it’s a natural fact
If the mass can applaud
Then the mass can attack
Ow!
And all of his chances are slim
And nobody wants to be him
The time has come to work it out
It’s stormy in the North
But karma in the South
It’s stormy in the North
But karma in the South
2. Move On
I know it ain't always been a bed of roses
But it ain't also been a crown of thorns
'Cause every day that you died a rose is
The day that you were born
I know you really think you've thought it over
I know how good it feels to find you're wrong
I know when someone really fucks you over
You feel you don't belong
You feel you don't belong
And my foot's on the gas
And I'm thinking fast
I won't find no future by fixing the past
And my foot's on the gas
And I'm thinking fast
I won't find no future by fixing the past
I won't find no future by fixing the past (x4)
(Move on, Move on, Move on, Move on)
I know it isn't how you like behaving
I know you didn't mean it seriously
And this hell you're in heaven, dating
Would leave eventually
Nobody ever figured all the answers
Nobody ever never got it wrong
But everybody got circumstances
That they could dwell upon
Instead of moving on
'Cause my foot's on the gas
And I'm thinking fast
I won't find no future by fixing the past
And my foot's on the gas
And I'm thinking fast
I won't find no future by fixing the past
I won't find no future by fixing the past (x4)
(Move on, Move on, Move on, Move on
Move on, Move on, Move on, Move on
Move on, Move on, Move on, Move on)
And my foot's on the gas
And I'm thinking fast
I won't find no future by fixing the past
And my foot's on the gas
And I'm thinking fast
I won't find no future by fixing the past
I won't find no future by fixing the past (x4)
3. Cheers
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Your troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Your troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
4. The People That Life Forgot
They welcome you with broken arms
And wary eyes to stave off harm
And they move around exactly like we do
They're paranoid, they keep their space,
They live in dreams they can't erase
And they carry ghosts around the place like glue
And they'll keep you at the length of the arm of their shirt
‘Cause they got hurt one day
They are the people that life forgot (x3)
And they're okay
And your lack of trust of all you see
Will never crush the trust in me
You're just living dust as far as I can tell
Any love I have, you'll never earn
And your moral stance ain’t my concern
And my hate for you will follow you to hell
And they'll drink themselves through every day
To get them through the night
They are the people that life forgot (x3)
And that's alright
Those people, all those tiny people
They'll make you pay for all that they can't adhere to
Oh thanks to God, you're not one of them people
And them people ain’t one of you
They are the people that life forgot (x4)
And they'll rag on you 'bout the way you dress
And the way you wear your hair
They are the people that life forgot (x3)
And they don't care
And we don't care
(Yeah, you know what kind of people I'm talking about)
And we don't care
(Their opinions come in one direction)
And we don't care
(They're loud, incompetent and they're very, very wrong)
WAY!!!
5. L.T.D.
Dance across the stars, I'm the latest sensation
Shining from above all of your fake adulation
I shoot a star beam all over the world
I keep a promise for every girl
You're L.T.D. I'm crazy
Your craziness don't phase me
Praise liberty to the L.T.D. force
Sharing out my soul to an eager new nation
Shrinking violet state isn't in my vocation
I'm gonna rise far above you, so tall
I'm gonna answer your every call
You're L.T.D. I'm crazy
Your craziness don't phase me
Praise liberty to the L.T.D. force
I shoot a star beam all over the world
I keep a promise for every girl
You're L.T.D. I'm crazy
Your craziness don't phase me
I'm L.T.D. you're crazy
Ain't nothing that can phase me
You're L.T.D. I'm crazy
Your craziness don't phase me
Praise liberty to the L.T.D force
6. Looking For The One
You and me, we didn't even see the writing on the wall
Gravity helped to lift our hopes, but never broke our fall
With or without, I still need some time to work it out
It's going nowhere, and it's almost there
You're not the one I've been looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
Still looking for the one
I'm still looking for
Someone
Would you agree we fulfilled the need to spend a little love?
In all honesty, were we ever feeling more than just enough?
How many times do we speak our minds to change our minds?
It's going nowhere in an easy chair
You're not the one I've been looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
Still looking for the one
I'm still looking for
Someone
And when the moment arrives
And we can see in the eyes
That all the will in the world
Can never keep it alive
It’s only righting the wrongs
That kept us rolling along
It’s kind of obvious to me
That you are not the one
You're not the one, you're not the one
You are not the one
You're not the one I've been looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
Still looking for the one
I'm still looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
You're not the one I've been looking for
Still looking for the one
I'm still looking for
Someone (x9)
7. 6:30 Onwards
I was outspoken
And while my mouth was open
I missed a moment
I missed a moment
And while I was raging
That you were busy failing
In the war that we were waging
And the moments we were wasting
While the chances were escaping
And I’m holding back the order to run
And the one to attack
I’m holding back
6.30 Onwards
Is what I’m trying to beat
I’m trying to keep
Until I get some sleep
6.30 Onwards
Is what I’m trying to beat
I’m digging in deep
Until I get some sleep
YEAH!
While I was sinking
And all the time I’m thinking
That I’ve been slowly shrinking
It’s time to get back drinking
And while I was drinking
I thought of mostly one thing
It’s the medicine I’m needing
It’s the faith that keeps me breathing
Through another lonely evening
And a too familiar morning
And the only thing worth knowing
Is the art of keeping going
6.30 Onwards
Is what I’m trying to beat
I’m trying to keep
Until I get some sleep
6.30 Onwards
Is what I’m trying to beat
I’m digging in deep
Until I get some sleep
6.30 Onwards
Is what I’m trying to beat
I’m trying to keep
Until I get some sleep
YEAH!
8. Eager To Leave 'Er
Whatever happened to all that love?
How come enough is now not enough?
Tell me when I began to annoy you?
And will someone else get the blame after I do?
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer
How long since I’ve been fascinating?
Since the grass was green and the bed was shaking?
Did we change too much or too much need changing?
Or maybe all guys could do with a little re-arranging
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer
Eager to leave ‘er
Eager to leave ‘er
When did the kindness turn into a weakness?
Who left the gaps in the conversation?
Is it ambition that creates competition?
Wasn’t it you that saw the true impression?
Why do I have to ignore you to get your attention?
Ever get the feeling you just can’t give in?
Rather both of us die than one of us win
If it happens again, you gonna blame him?
What if it’s really as good as it gets?
How does it feel if you live with regret?
What if the best times just haven’t been yet?
We’re all holding onto a bet
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer
Eager to leave ‘er
Eager to leave ‘er
Eager to leave ‘er
Maybe a little too eager to leave ‘er
9. Putting It On
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
Stop putting it on
Another pride thing for me to swallow
Mind games bringing me down
Another time spent, waste it tomorrow
Make sense; put your feet on the ground
You gotta
Stop – burning up inside
Stop – look around, decide
Stop – don’t be kidding yourself
Stop (stop) – and think (think)
And stop (stop) – and think (think)
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
Stop putting it on
You been downsized too many times
You’d better wake up and see the divide
And if the breakdown leaves you alone
It ain’t the first time been trouble at home
You gotta
Stop – burning up inside
Stop – look around, decide
Stop – don’t be kidding yourself
Stop (stop) – and think (think)
And stop (stop) – and think (think)
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
See me eating my heart
See the whole thing falling apart
Everything you learned at the start
Are the things that tore you apart
We’d better leave it
We’d better leave it
We’d better leave it
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
Stop putting it on
10. Better Than Cable
You’re better than a Saturday night
You’re better than killing a fight
You’re maybe better than the gift of sight
You’re better, you’re better
You’re better than my favourite shoes
You’re better than beating the blues
You’re better than a new tattoo
You’re better, you’re better
You’re better than satellite
Staying up all night
In a thousand ways
More danger than a stranger’s kiss
How in the world did I deserve all this?
So come on (so come on)
So come on (so come on)
So come on (so come on)
So come on
You’re the bomb, you’re the one, the wow
You’re better, you’re better
The dog’s balls and the cat’s meow
You’re better, you’re better
Ain’t ever gonna be that guy hanging round
Looking for somebody to kiss
Little one, well it don’t come better than this
You’re better than making the rent
You’re better than a night in a tent
You’re even better than 40 percent
You’re better, you’re better
You’re better than seeing the world
You’re better than Steve Earle
You’re even better than girls
You’re better, you’re better
You’re better than sleeping late
Or being straight
In a thousand ways
More exciting than a night on the town
What would I do without you around?
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Oh yeah
You’re the bomb, you’re the one, the wow
You’re better, you’re better
The dog’s balls and the cat’s meow
You’re better, you’re better
Ain’t ever gonna be that guy hanging round
Looking for somebody to kiss
Little one, well it don’t come better than this
Had every drug in town, it told me I was down
See through a cloudy haze, hope I come around
Now that I know ya
And I sure am glad that I know ya
I need you, you need me
So who needs drugs?
You’re better than a ton in the car
You’re better than a screaming guitar
You’re the best and you know you are
You’re better, you’re better
You’re better than satellite
Staying up all night
In a thousand ways
And you do it like nobody can
And I’m the world’s most fortunate man
Oh no (oh yeah)
Oh no (oh yeah)
Oh no (oh yeah)
Whatever
You’re the bomb, you’re the one, the wow
You’re better, you’re better
The dog’s balls and the cat’s meow
You’re better, you’re better
Ain’t ever gonna be that guy hanging round
Looking for somebody to kiss
Little one, well it don’t come better than this
Little one, well it don’t come better than this
11. Lake Of Piss
Feeling underlined
A bad case of loving you now
Take a helping hand
Just pushed it and crushed it
It can't be undone, it's so dumb
Living life unsung
So run
Take what you can and just go
Forget what you had it won't show
This feeling of hating so bad
Compared to what you had
When you sell your soul down on a lake of piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
When you sell your soul down on a lake of piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
Get it right this time
And pick up the pieces you find
Cut it from your mind
Don't take it, just break it
You're caught in this life. It's so wrong
Trying to belong
So run
Take what you can and just go
Forget what you had it won't show
This feeling of hating so bad
Compared to what you had
When you sell your soul down on a lake of piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
When you sell your soul down on a lake of piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
So run
Take what you can and just go
Forget what you had it won't show
This feeling of hating so bad
Compared to what you had
When you sell your soul down on a lake of piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
When you sell your soul down on a lake of piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
When you sell your soul down on a lake of piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
When you sell your soul down on a lake of piss
Screaming this is piss, screaming this is piss
This is piss, screaming this is piss
12. If I Decide
I just want it, I could need it
And I’m just on it, I ain't in it
And I shuffle around
And I hear those familiar sounds
The sounds that I heard before
But I don't wanna hear any more
Just to go where I want 'em to go
As if to say "I told you so"
And if I decide, I could live or die
If I decide, 'cause I could live a lie
If I decide, than maybe, just maybe
I could be saving the right life
The right life
The right life
The right life
If I decide
I just do it, I don't need it
And I've been through it, but I ain't seen it
And I put on a show
The kind I swear you'd never know
And I'm getting over again
But then are those moments when
It all comes falling apart
And I don't know why I let it start
'Cause if I decide, I could live or die
If I decide, 'cause I could live a lie
If I decide, than maybe, just maybe
I could be saving the right life
The right life
The right life
The right life
If I decide
Roll up, roll up for the oldest story in the world: man versus girl
Man meets girl; man likes girl; man fights girl; man hates the world
It's a tale of pride, ego and confidence
And maybe common sense has a place in there also
You must decide, you must decide
If I decide, I could live or die
If I decide, 'cause I could live a lie
If I decide, than maybe, just maybe
I could be saving the right life
The right life (x6)
And if I decide
13. Bang!
You can’t see the candy for the razors
You’re never gonna faze her with what you say
She’s got a certain kind of something
And I do believe it’s working so what the hey?
Come the way you are (Come the way you are)
Come the way you please (Come the way you please)
Come the way you were when you brought me to my knees
Let’s stay the way we are (Stay the way we are)
Let’s stay the way we please (Stay the way we please)
When we’re staying calm we don’t seem like enemies
And then bang!
Like a missile nixing my plan
You fixed this son of a bitch and God damn
You made me a man
God damn, you made me a man
Bang! Like a missile nixing my plan
You fixed this son of a bitch and God damn
You made me a man
God damn, you made me a man
You made me a man
You made me a man
I tried everything to warn her
But she got me in a corner and made me smile
And I can’t see her ever leaving
So long as she is breathing; so long as she’s mine
Come the way you are (Come the way you are)
Come the way you please (Come the way you please)
Come the way you were when you brought me to my knees
Let’s stay the way we are (Stay the way we are)
Let’s stay the way we please (Stay the way we please)
When we’re staying calm we don’t seem like enemies
And then bang!
Like a missile nixing my plan
You fixed this son of a bitch and God damn
You made me a man
God damn, you made me a man
Bang! Like a missile nixing my plan
You fixed this son of a bitch and God damn
You made me a man
God damn, you made me a man
You made me a man
You made me a man
Yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
Bang! Like a missile nixing my plan
You fixed this son of a bitch and God damn
You made me a man,
God damn, you made me a man
Bang! Like a missile nixing my plan
You fixed this son of a bitch and God damn
You made me a man
God damn, you made me a man
You made me a man
You made me a man
14. You've Got To Get Through...
Try to imagine the deepest of places
With beautiful cultures and mixing of races
It’s you, it’s not too far, Shangri-la
Shangri-la
It’s coming down, all around, on a scale my brain defied
I swing around, upside down, like a fool can’t seem to hide
I’m dreaming now, of a sound, from the ground, too deep, too loud
And when I wake, with a shake, will I see it all fall down?
You got to, you got to get through what you’ve got to go through
Before you get what you want
You got to, you got to get through what you’ve got to go through
Before you get what you want
Fuck it! (x4)
Screaming out, with a shout, from a high-rise 65
And here I am, in a jam, will I get out here alive?
I rip it up, gotta sup, gotta find some way out of here
And when I’m down on my luck, will I do it, will I see?
That you got to, you got to get through what you’ve got to go through
Before you get what you want
You got to, you got to get through what you’ve got to go through
Before you get what you want
Fuck it! (x4)
You got to, you got to get through what you’ve got to go through
Before you get what you want (x4)
Times that have to commit you’re never paid but
Try to break ties with your bullshit separated
Try to get wise and believe I’ll see you later
Nowadays you’re gonna rise above it like an elevator
The white zone is for loading and unloading only!
You got to, you got to get through what you’ve got to go through
Before you get what you want (x4)
15. Hit It On The Head
Got a bad place it’s bringing me down
In a suitcase my life can be found
Gotta wait another night without you
On a high road I walk it alone
Go to bed with my girl on the phone
It's like, man, you got nothing better to do
'Cause you hit it on the head with all the things you said
Like I gotta get a message to you
'Cause you hit it on the head with the funny things you said
Like I know what I gotta do
I'll see you far away
So it feels like I'm running around
All the troubles are wearing me down
Gotta wait, another month? Give me a clue
When I can't take this crap anymore
I just fall down, I'm hitting the floor
It's like, man, you got something better to do
'Cause you hit it on the head with all the things you said
Like I gotta get a message to you
'Cause you hit it on the head with the funny things you said
Like I know what I gotta do
'Cause you hit it on the head with all the things you said
Like I gotta get a message to you
'Cause you hit it on the head with the funny things you said
Like I know what I gotta do
Got a long way to go and a shitload to pay (x4)
'Cause you hit it on the head with all the things you said
Like I gotta get a message to you
'Cause you hit it on the head with the funny things you said
Like I know what I gotta do
Got a long way to go and a shitload to pay (x4)
I'm fading now I must confess (x4)
16. Let's Go
To all that's heeding the call
To the freaks that crawl
Into sight when the night falls
Going out to you
It's a shout to do that do
'Til you can’t do it any more
I believe it's a good time calling
I believe it's a good time calling
I believe that they're calling out
Specifically for me
Let's go (x4)
You're getting by
You're weak, too shy to speak
Too high for sleeping
It's time to lose your mind
You'd better get out now
If you're thinking of leaving
I believe it's a good time calling
I believe it's a good time calling
And I'll dance like Jack Palance
With every chance I get
Let's go (x5)
Why don't you just climb on? (x8)
Why don't you just climb
Let's go (x8)
17. Return To Zero

My mind’s on fire, my soul is clear
I got two good feet to stand on
And I’m facing all I fear
I’ll take a tablet, won’t play for gain
Got a gun right here beside me
And I’m down, I’ll drown
Whoa! Yeah! Whoa! Yeah!
Down down, it’s-a getting me down
Whoa! Yeah! Whoa! Yeah!
Down down, it’s-a getting me down
My mind’s on fire, my soul is clear
I got two good feet to stand on
And I’m facing all I fear
I’ll take a tablet, won’t play for gain
Got a gun right here beside me
And I’m down, I’ll drown
19. Action Panzer
That girl is the kind of girl
Who's in love with the guy before you
That girl is the kind of girl
To create you and destroy you
That boy is the kind of boy
Who takes everything for granted
That sex is the kind of sex
For which VD was invented
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely
But how can a poor boy compete with
A lifetime of sequins and secrets
And it's all wrapped up inside you
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer!
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer!
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer!
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer!
You think she drops her kit
For any shit to take her
You wanna dance with HIV and she'll
Shake her money-maker
Those girls are the kind of girls
And you're glad that you forgot them
That girl is the kind of girl
And she's someone else's problem
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely
But how can a poor boy compete with
A lifetime of sequins and secrets
It's all wrapped up inside you
Take a dive and you can catch the ride
To all the places that you'll never find
Easy how the girl just takes your side
And when you’re down she'll leave you far behind
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely
20. Danny's Dancin'
Bop, bop, bop, bop, yeah
Bop, bop, bop, bop, yeah
Bop, bop, bop, bop, yeah
Bop, bop, bop, bop, yeah
You can’t swim, you’ll take a dive
'Cause if you wake up and you’re feeling you’re alive
You’re feeling hard, well that’s alright
'Cause I’m a going dancin’ tonight
If there’s a door, I’ll take off through
I ain’t slowing down the way I did for you
You got it tough, you gonna fight
'Cause I’m a going dancin’ tonight
Sometimes it’s way too tough
Sometimes you’ve had enough
Sometimes those good times run in
And you’ll never see them coming
Bop, bop, bop, bop, yeah
Bop, bop, bop, bop, yeah
Bop, bop, bop, bop
I’m going out, I’ll be around
I’m taking everyone of you who’s here to bounce
You don’t agree, well that’s too bad
'Cause I’m a going dancin’ tonight
I’m a going dancin’ tonight
I’m a going dancin’ tonight
Cha cha cha
