Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja (The Fake Sound Of Progress)

Got it all too high
got it figured out,
i wanna do whatever
laugh until september
and i seem to think that you are one to be with me
maybe i was wrong
u were moving on
and i sit and wonder
falling under
get my way or nothing will move on
everyone has gone
you feel so empty, but i've got me a friend
and i like it
and i know u say i can care for someone
but are you that clever that you smile forever?
if its something like here
coz i just don't feel it
baby its a treaty
maybe you are not her
and i sit and wonder, falling under
get my way or nothing will move on
everyone has gone.
you feel so empty, but i've got me a friend
and i like it, ooooooh!
say now, got it for all of me
answer why
Laugh until september,
And I seem to think that you were once here with me

The Fake Sound Of Progress (The Fake Sound Of Progress)

Somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more u think, the less u act their ways
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress

Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind,
looks like I lost my mind once again
I know it all sounds so contrived, but its got to me
u know I've got to be more than this
don't frown, don't scorn, cus I walk a different street to u
u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
but it will never get to mee
somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
the more u think, the less u act their ways
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress
and I feel the way u hold, hold me back from this
chances that I've missed, now their gone
apathy is all I sense, the feelings too intense
sitting on a fence and cant decide
don't frown, don't scorn, cus I walk a different street to u
u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
no body will ever get to me
somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
the more u think, the less u act their ways
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress

All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day
always charged but I need more, make me take away
tell me now, can u hear the sound
of all these people falling down
growing back into the ground let me smile again...
smile

Tell me now can u hear the sound, of the record spinning
round and round, for on and on it sounds like the same old
song that I keep singing, it sounds like

dah dah dah dah (yeahyeah sounds like) dah dah dah dah
(all these words that I accounted for, I'll never fear another day)

(improv!!)

somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
the more u think, the less you act their ways
so can you hear this, the fake sound of progress

yeah yeah yeah progress

make me smile again
(the fake sound of progress)

The Handsome Life Of Swing (The Fake Sound Of Progress)

{Write to someone, Let the subject burn,
If It's slow for my reply then ignore the wait,
But as long as you want everything and as long as you won't ever do,
Return, Return, Return to you}

Point the blame, Push the blame, Who's to blame today?
Point your finger, Lose your mind, All you do is pray,
Look out, Get down, Fall down, Your masquerade will do,
But in time my friend we all will see right through.

Inside won't be here to stay,
King for a day, That's all I'll say.

{Such a party bum, You should know that right away,
Let the subject burn, and wish that all the fucking time, ??}

Point the blame, Push the blame, Who's to blame today?
Point your finger, Lose your mind, All you do is play.
Look out, Get down, Fall down, Your masquerade will do,
But in time my friend we all will see right through.

Yes, in time, won't be here to stay,
King for a day, That's all I'll say.

But here, Thought I got a home,
Sit down, Got a home,
Got a home, Got a home,
Got home, and I know.

Five Is A Four Letter Word (The Fake Sound Of Progress)

(i was supposed to have some games...i'd love to play with you)

got left with everything
behind your smile forget that i was left with everything
never the same to me
never the same to me
never the same to me
never the same
its never the same
once you played up to the end
stop the noise

i even wonder why you're here please stay at home
killing my laughter
hurting my insides

wot am i here for
to be hurt more
i just don't like it here with yourself
i cant like you

behind your smile forget that i was left with everything
never the same to me

(its how i feel yeah its how i'm made yeah....)

...And She Told Me To Leave (The Fake Sound Of Progress)

and to it all
falling down
who's in touch with everyone who ever stood their ground?
if you could then i know i do to
lost inside a maze of problems with you

is it so hard
every time i say
won't you come and fight with me
because if i thought i were you
every word i say
would come out wrong and make you look the other way
you know, if i thought i were you,
time and time again
and if i did we won't be friends

and tell me i'm brought down again
never the one i'd explain

can't you ..., don't you lie
there've been times when i've felt good because you're hurt inside
no that's not true i'm just acting tough
i don't know what it is i'm feeling
i don't know if you are enough

is it so hard
every time i say
won't yo u come and fight with me
because if i thought i were yo u
every word i say
would come out wrong and make yo u look the other way
yo u know, if i thought i were yo u,
time and time again
and if i did we won't be friends

and tell me, i'll fall down again
never the one, i'll explain

so answer that you never know
don't want it back it seems to go
its so hard, so hard

cos i feel alive and it feels alright
keep on telling me that its over please
and i feel the one
lying in the sun
(could i, should i, would i....)
its so hot in here
its the clothes i wear
don't you even ask
i wont let you pass
but my guard is up
and you stole his care
(could i, should i, would i....)

Ode To Summer (The Fake Sound Of Progress)

Got to say,
I am there,
And, you are for,
I had our best times,
Had it our way, best times, but it's all I count...

Sit down, my soul, I told you that my time is up
and i'm falling down,
got it all worked out,
now I say to you that you would

but if it ever came down to one day,
one day left in a thousand,
the last good times of summer,
are the last few minutes of warmth,
remember what it was like to enjoy our time,
before we all go back to school and learn,
before our eyes turn grey again,
and we forget what it was ever like to feel awake, to feel awake,

so is this why i feel so cold?
there's to much panic i've been told,
and everytime i show, i see the way it used to go,
i need to see that every year, not to hear it just so clear,
so clear...

the nights were so much hotter then ,we all hung out and made amends,
it's like you can't go back but hearing that just makes me want to,
call my friends, tell them that i'm coming HOME!!

so down, inside...

So why don't i face it, why can't i face it?
So why don't i face it?
So why don't i face it?
So why don't i face it?
So why don't i face it?

the nights were so much hotter then ,we all hung out and made amends,
it's like you can't go back but knowing that just makes me want to,
call my friends, tell them that i'm coming HOME!!

So why don't i face it, why can't i face it?
So why don't i face it, why can't i face it?
So why don't i face it, why can't i face it........

Burn Burn (Start Something)

Where do I begin, with this life we're living in
Market youth their uniform, make us all fit in
But do you think, that we're that blind?
That we can't see through all your lies?

[chorus:]
Cause if it's no good
Burn burn the stations
We'll burn it down
Burn burn the truth
Enjoy the flames
In celebration
Enjoy the sound
For us, for them, for you

I know that I've been told
My intergrity was sold
Price and placed upon the shelf
It's worth it's weight in gold
But do you think we've lost our minds?
Yeah we can see through all your lies?

[chorus]

Burn burn the truth the lies the news
Burn burn the life that you cant choose
Burn burn the hate that gets you through
Burn burn for us, for them, for you [x4]

Cause if it's no good
Burn burn the stations
We'll burn it down
Burn burn the truth
Enjoy the flames
In celebration
Enjoy the sound

For us, for them, for you [x5]

Last Train Home (Start Something)

One! Two! Three!

To every broken heart in here
Love was once a part, but now it's disappeared
She told me that it's all part of the choices that you make
Even when you think you're right
You have to give to take

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

I wonder if you're listening
Picking up on the signals
Sent back from within
Sometimes it feels like I don't really know whats going on
Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

Well we sing if we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing if it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason to ever fall in love

But we sing
If we're going no where
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing with out a reason to never fall in love
To never fall in love again

We Are Godzilla, You Are Japan (Start Something)

I hear all your whining
All this talking all the time
The time is coming
The time is now for our attack
A new dawn rising
A new ride in your ??
Dont try to stop this
You will break like glass

Move over son
Your time is done
We cant drag down on our feet (??)
The cities gone
We see you run
Since you can take the weight

Lets go
The only way we know
Is taking you out

Did you not understand me?
Are you not listening last time
A new day dawning
And were taking back your life
You look so pathetic
And were taking back control
Im sorry but we have to let you go

Move over son
Your time is done
We cant drag down on our feet (??)
The cities gone
We see you run
Since you can take the weight

Lets go
The only way we know
Is taking you out

Taking you out

To Hell We Ride (Start Something)

Well Allright...

With you its never good enough, because you want the stuff that could change your future...
Your lifes amongst a sea of chance and the more you dance it just gets you sinking deeper...

Its ok dont apologise,
You dont know what your striving for,
You never seem to try.
Its too early, go live your life,
Keep on moving, its time to....
Ride, Ride, Ride,
Now its time to...
Ride, Ride, Ride,

Everything seems tempting, But nothing comes for free...
I often wonder how you drive, when the roads too dark to see...

Its too early, its time to....
Ride, Ride, Ride

Relight the fire, to watch it burn, but when it comes your turn, all thats left is embers...
You Ran this race with no real heart, your right back at the start, you'd already lost it...

Its ok dont apologise,
You dont know what your striving for,
You never seem to try.
Its too early, go live your life,
Keep on moving, its time to....
Ride, Ride, Ride,
Now its time to...
Ride, Ride, Ride,

Everything seems tempting, But nothing comes for free...
I often wonder how you drive, when the roads too dark to see...

Its too early, its time to....
Ride, Ride, Ride

Everything feels tempting, you dont know who to be...
I often wonder how you feel, when your lieing next to me...

Its too early, its time to....

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
Its all road,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
After all ive said
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
No way to turn...

You know it's not enough,
You know it's not enough,
You know it's not enough

Make A Move (Start Something)

So are we lost or do we know
Which direction we should go
Sit around and wait for someone to take our hands and lead the way

Cause every day we're getting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for our awnsers

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Are we meant to take the pain
Should we sit around and wait
Are we being saved
Or was I another lie you made to make us hate

Cause every day we're getting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for our awnsers

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
And we will never lose
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
it's time to make a move
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
And we will never lose
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
it's time to make a... move!

It's not enough
To let it run
Where's the truth
It's all wrong

So sick of waiting for our awnsers...

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
It's time to make a move
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Make a move (move, move, move, move).

Last Summer (Start Something)

The Friday sun bears down again
As we drive without friends
And on these longest days we spend
All the time trying to pretend
That our stories could be true
Our chance to be cool
The setting sunset says the day is through
If only we knew...
And we all sit around here in our home town
Listen to the waves as they all crash down
And watch the fire as it slowly burns away
Glowing embers fly across the sky

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer
The view from our last summer...
We trace the sun across the sky

And we laugh till we cry
Always so hard to say goodbye (good bye)
And we all sit round here in our home town
It's so good like this, these are times we'll miss
The memories, I hope they'll never fade
Glowing embers lie across the sky

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view through our last summer
The view from our last summer...

I would stop time to stay with you
I would stop time so we don't move
I would stop time
I would stop time
I would stop time to keep you

Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer

I Don't Know (Start Something)

Today they asked me, "what do you always seem to find?"
But though I could not answer I'd have lost my way
And I could tell that this ain't right
The morning sunrise seemed to ask me why I tried
To find the strength in people who had never thought about a different way of life
It just doesn't seem that easy

I don't know where to go
I don't know what to be
I don't know how to change from being me
I don't know what to say
Maybe another day
I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home
All I know is gone...

But the storms of weather, you know they don't seem to be as bad
If you think there's hope from here and there's a life you should now have
I don't have answers and no questions spring to mind
So here I've ended up now, there's no more signs and the roads are blocked
Aw, man...
It just doesn't seem that easy

I don't know where to go
I don't know what to be
I don't know how to change from being me
I don't know what to say
Maybe another day
I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home
All I know is gone...

(I see no reason to move on)

I don't know where to go
I don't know what to be
I don't know how to change from being me
I don't know what to say
Maybe another day
I'll stop getting lost and find my way, home
All I know is gone...

We Still Kill The Old Way (Start Something)

So here we go again
Another time, but it feels the same
Got sick of waiting here
Set sail on concrete wings
No survivors left to see
Too late for the walking dead

We'll make it on our own
Breathing our own air
Cuz no one else will care
No one really knows
Need more room to shout
Time is runnin out
But even through your doubts
We will still be here
We will still be here!

See it all, I see it all
Still kill, still kill the old way
I'm gonna die before I fold
And try to sink me

You and I doin different things
People hide but I see their face
One that's full of hate
Their apathy's not affecting us
Maybe they ride on a different bus
Realize that we'll never change

We'll make it on our own
Breathing our own air
Cuz no one else will care
No one really knows
Need more room to shout
Time is runnin out
But even through your doubts
We will still be here
We will still be here!

See it all, I see it all
Still kill, still kill the old way
I'm gonna die before I fold
Just try to sink me

Oh-oh last time I'll fold
Oh-oh this is the last time I'll fold

See it all, I've seen it all
Still kill, still kill the old way
I'm gonna die before I fold
No one's savin me

Hello Again (Start Something)

Hello again, why so old?,
Wasnt time your friend? I must be told
Hello again, it seems to long
Since we last met, how has it gone

Dont Accept the blame, I would not complain,
Cos im sure it wasnt your own fault
That you never made it out your vault
Just Lock the door, and find some time to scream
Just scream again...

Just say "when" and you'll stop the pain of your life,
Bring it to an end.
Just say "when" and you could make amends
Just say Hello, say Hello again...

Hello Again, its not that hard.
No Dead ends, even with the scars

Dont Accept the blame, I would, I would not complain,
Cos im sure it wasnt your own fault
That you never made it out your vault
Just Lock the door, and find some time to scream

Just say "when" and you'll stop the pain of your life,
Bring it to an end.
Just say "when" and you could make amends
Just say Hello, say Hello again...

You have no home, you lost your throne, where has it gone?,
Well it could all come back,
But you're being led by the walking dead,
You stumble and you cracked the ground,
You're pinned down...

Just Say "when" you could stop the pain,
Just Say "when", you could make amends
Just say hello, say Hello Again,

Hello Again, Hello Again, Hello Again, Hello Again, Hello Again,

If i was here, would you just say Hello again...

Goodbye Tonight (Start Something)

Tonight, I felt stonger, Inside of your ways,
It takes alot to get home, But its ok when the light is always on
I just want you to understand, theirs no need to keep waiting.
Another day in another hand, it could be so different.
A Letter to me, your wasting time,
You know you could be, Yer You Could shine
But Tonight you'll get it right,
You will make a difference...

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight,
Feels so good,
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye,
If i could see through, even so far away
Its all you need too, make it through another day.

Surprise, Scream your heart out,
Inside you will hand down,
Today it all seems too stong
If only you would try you'd move on

I just want you to understand, theirs no need to keep waiting.
Another day in another hand, it could be so different.
A Letter to me, your wasting time,
You know you could be, Yer You Could shine
But Tonight you'll get it right,
You will make a difference...

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight,
Feels so good,
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye,
If i could see through, even so far away
Its all you need too, make it through another day.

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight,
Feels so good,
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye,
If i could see through, even so far away
Its all you need too, make it through another day...

The Used

Saw them at Leeds last summer - The incredibly desirable Bert McKracken called us all "fucking English sexies" therefore i am rewarding him with a lyrics page:

We got: - Poetic Tragedy, Greener With The Scenery (See Top 10) The Taste Of Ink, Bulimic, A Box Full Of Sharp Objects (See songs for occasions), Noise and Kisses, Buried Myself Alive, Blue and Yellow

Poetic Tragedy (Something to Burn)

the cup is not half empty as pescimists say
as far as he's sees nothings left in the cup
a whole cup full of nothing for him to induldge
since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up

a singer, a writer, he's not dreaming now of going nowhere
he gave heed to nothing, and all that he was....
is just a tragedy

so he voyages in circles
succeeds getting nowhere
and submits to the substance
that first got him there

than in violent, frustration he cries out to God or just no one
is there a point to this madness and all that he was....
is just a tragedy

he feels alone
his heart in his hand
he's alone
he feels alone
I feel....

then on that last day he breaks
and he stood tall
and he yelled... and he takes his life

Greener With The Scenery (Something to Burn)

you took it back
how could you go and do something like that
my fingernail phase
worst has got the best of you
I ask you and I know I need to change

you
you took it back
you ripped my heart out of me then you put it back
I'm pulling my hair
I let you just a million times
I love you even though it isn't fair

round we go round again in circles
play this game over again
round we go round again in circles

you took it back
you ripped my heart out of me then you put it back
I'm pulling my hair
I let you just a million times
I love you even though it isn't fair

OH,
run we go round again in circles
play this game over again
run we go round again in CIRCLES

you took it back
you took it back
(indecicive screaming)

round we go round again in circles
play this game over again
round we go round again in circles, circles
oh round again cicles
play this game over
round again,round again
CIRCLES

The Taste Of Ink (Something To Burn)

is it worth it can you even hear me
standing with your spotlight on me
not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I felt it for awhile now
In this sea of lonely
the taste of ink is getting old
it's four o'clock in the fucking morning
each day gets more and more like the last day
still I can see it coming
while i'm standing in the river drowning
this could be my chance to break out
this could be my chance to say goodbye
at last it's finally over
couldn't take this town much longer
being half dead wasn't what I planned to be
now I'm ready to be free

so here I am it's in my hands
and I'll savor every moment of this
so here I am alive at last
and I'll savor every moment of this

and won't you think I'm pretty
when I'm standing top the bright lit city
and I'll take your hand and pick you up
and keep you there so you can see
as long as your alive and care
I promise I will take you there
and we'll drink and dance the night away

as long as your alive
here I am
I promise i will take you there

Bulimic (Something to Burn)

from the way that you acted
to the way that I felt it
It wasn't worth my time
and now it's sad cause all I missed
wasn't that good to begin with
and now I've started you begging
saying things that you don't mean
it isn't worth my time
a line's a dime a million times
and I'm about to see all of them

Goodbye to you
you're taking up my time

you call my name when I wake up
to see things go your way
i'm coughing up my time
each drag's a drop of blood a grain
a minute of my life
it's all I've got just to stay down
why the fuck am I still down
I'm hoarding all thats mine
each time I let just one slip by
I'm wasting what is mine

I'm about to see a million things
I thought I'd never see before and I
I'm about to do all the things I've dreamed of
and I don't even miss you at all

A Box Full Of Sharp Objects (Something to Burn)

it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love
it was the best idea I ever had

today I fell and felt better
just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and sharper
found a box of sharp objects what a beautiful thing

do you want a song of glory
well I'm fucking screaming at you

Noise and Kisses (Something to Burn)

look in my eyes
I'm jaded now whatever that means
by sharing these things
I rip my heart out
it's worth my time
whatever that means...
hard to see up
my neck feels stiff until I wake up
the orange i choked
and back to my neck
it's worth my time
whatever that means....so

share with me
cause i need it right now
let me see your insides
or write me off
cause I'd rather starve now
if you won't open up

give it to me
give me all... whatever you want
it's never been me
to want this much from you
I can see
it tears me up

Buried Myself Alive (Something to Burn)

you almost always pick the best times
to drop the worst lines
you almost made me cry again this time
another false alarm
red flashing lights
well this time I'm not going to watch myself die
I think I made it a game to play your game
and let myself cry
I buried myself alive on the inside
so I could shut you out
and let you go away for a long time

I guess it's ok I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
and if you want me back
you're gonna have to ask
nicer than that

I think the chain broke away
and I felt it the day that I had my own time
I took advantage of myself and felt fine
but it was worth the night
I caught an early flight and I made it home

with my foot on your neck
I finally have you
right where I want you

Blue and Yellow (Something to Burn)

and it's all in how you mix the two
and it starts just where the light exists
it's a feeling that you cannot miss
and it burns a hole
through everyone that feels it

well your never gonna find it
if your looking for it
won't come your way
well you'll never find it
if your looking for it

should've done something but I've done it enough
by the way your hands were shaking
rather waste some time with you

and you never would have though in the end
how amazing it feels just to live again
it's a feeling that you cannot miss
it burns a hole through everyone that feels it

should've said something but I've said it enough
by the way my words were faded
rather waste some time with you
