Take it to the Bank

It started out as a romantic comedy
Became a tragedy
Ended up as a God damn horror
And now I'm the monster, I'm the monster
Her new Boyfriend's not so clean
Jeffrey Epstein meets Harvey Weinstein
But she thinks he's a wet dream
And still, I'm the monster, I'm the monster
You're messed up and I'm the monster now
You can take that to the bank with you
You can tell everybody it's true
She drinks wine by the gallon
She wants Charlie Sheen meets Woody Allen
She lives a life of glamour
She's buying time shares from Armie Hammer
Sends postcards to Spector in the Slammer
And you can take that to the bank with you
And you can tell everybody it's true
Started out as a romantic comedy
Became a Greek tragedy
Ended up as a God damn horror
And now I'm the monster, I'm the monster
You're messed up and I'm the monster now
And you can take that to the bank with you
And you can tell everybody it's true
You can point and shoot and I'll dance for you
And you can tell everybody it's true
You can take that down to the bank with you
And you can tell everybody

Whiskey with nothing
02:58

I got eleven dollar bills and the whole world to pay off
But eleven dollar bills won't buy me a day off
Seeing you even just for a minute is like
Drinking whiskey with nothing else in it
And I'm just sitting here, worrying about the Ukraine
Round here the past it always follows you around
There's only so many streets in this little town
Seeing you even just for a minute is like
Drinking whiskey with nothing else in it
And I'm just sitting here, worrying about the Ukraine
I will say this much for you
(You got)
All the right words
When I don't know what to say
(You say)
Just sing with the birds and (just) fly away
Seeing you even just for a minute is like
Drinking whiskey with nothing else in it
And I'm just sitting here, worrying about the Ukraine (x3)

This old dog

Re- read your letter
Was glad things was better
You said to get here and I think that be best
I broke down stateside, hitched a lonely ride
To where that sun, it sinks down in the West
Who's gonna be there when you break
Who's gonna pay for your mistakes
Who'll be around when that house of cards shakes down
Honey I may, if this old Dog has his day
Last night your voice it came, came down the line sayin'
Life can change, it can change on a dime
You got off listing, things I'd been missing but
You never gave me no places nor times
Who's gonna be there when you break
Who's gonna pay for your mistakes
Who'll be around when that house of cards, it shakes down
Honey, I may, if this ol' Dog has his day
Who's gonna pay for your mistakes
Who'll sweep up all your broken plates
Who'll be around when that house of cards shakes down
I may
If this old Dog has his day ....

Too much too late

Recover by the seaside
Where the Ocean and the land collide
With nothing on my mind
You fill my soul. when I lose control
Your voice is all I need, just to know you're breathing
Too much, too late, I was hoping that you would wait now
I'm climbing out this hole and I'm
Looking back with regret
I'm looking back with regret
So we say goodbye and you watch me leaving
I'm too tired to talk
I'm just too tired to sleep
Too much, too late, I was hoping that you would wait now
I'm climbing out this hole and I'm
Looking back with regret
I'm looking back with regret ( Continued)

Bus Stop

Selling the beautiful lie
Upwards, write your name in the sky
In my mind, it's just a fine line
Got no alibi, just a bottle of wine
And we'll wait, in the night
By the bus stop by the light
And say our goodbyes, so goodnight to you, goodbye
It's nice to know you
I could show you, what's under the line
As complicated as a blade of grass, and a broken glass
And promises on the sly
And we'll wait, in the night
By the bus stop by the light
And say our goodbyes, so goodnight to you, goodbye
On every street, there's a sign that you once were mine
It's time to go home, you won't be alone
On every street there's a crime and you once was mine
It's time to go home, you won't be alone

Gun shy
03:34
|

|
So where were you 2022?
We sit and shoot the breeze a while
I thought that you were something else
I really, really really don't know
Hiding out in my own space
Too gun shy to show my face
I thought that you were something else
I really. really, really should have known
Really understand your point of view
And everything you said to me rings true
Don't tell me I'm the only one
I'm not the only one
So take your life, and throw it all to hell
It's over now but I wish you well
I thought that were coming home
I really, really should have known
Really understand your point of view
And everything you said to me rings true
Don't tell me I'm the only one
I'm not the only one
If you go down, I'll go down with you
Down through the Mill, and down to the old road and I know it's true
Say run and I'll run with you
Down through the Mill, and down to the old road and I know it's true
Really understand your point of view
And everything you said to me rings true
Don't tell me I'm the only one
I'm not the only one
And I hear you're doing fine
I know it's been a long and lonely time
But don't tell me I'm the only one
I'm not the only one

I am Judas
04:21
|

|
We're breaking down Barricades
Talking through Charades
I've been waiting my whole life just to say
What you said today
They tell me you're leaving
Having trouble with sleeping
Now you got a bad case of the blues
I won't wear those shoes
I'm waiting ( I'm waiting)
I'm waiting to reveal myself
I am Judas
You say anything
But don't call me that
Won't show no emotion
Don't need the commotion
Wherever I went, there I was
Just because
I'm waiting ( I'm waiting)
I'm waiting to reveal myself
I am Judas
You can say anything
You can say anything
But don't call me that

Heavy on my mind
03:29
|

|
Off the track
But now I'm coming back
It took a fall
To make me see right through you all
Some are broken are lost
Find a river they can't get across
And it weighs heavy on my mind
One's too much
A thousand's not enough
The boat is steady, when the water's heavy
Some are burdened some are lost
Found a river that I couldn't cross
It's overrated
It's complicated
It weighs heavy on my mind
Heavy on mind
It's complicated, it's heavy on my mind
It's overrated, Heavy on my mind (x2)
(Insert kick ass guitar solo from David here)
It's complicated
It's overrated, weighs heavy on my mind
Heavy on my mind
It's complicated
Heavy on my mind
It's overrated
Heavy on my mind
I'm re- instated
Heavy on my mind (x3)

Everything about you
03:25
|

|
Don't think of me
Don't stop or make a call
Look, I might be gone away
These times can take a toll
Shoot it down, it's full of holes
And do you recognize, a memory it's full of lies
With timing as sound
A station on the underground
And you can be mean, and you can be cool
And I know everything about you.....
You can walk out
Chew it up and spit it out
Or we can work it out
Something we could talk about
And do you recognize, a memory that's filled with lies
With timing as sound
A station on the underground
And you can be mean, and you can be cool
And I know everything about you....

Read all the books

Time, takes you away
And leaves you with nothing to show
For some nights out on the time
I've been where you are now
I've worn the same scars how
It's changed, in a moment of time
I've read all the books, and told all the stories
I know them by heart, I know them by heart
It's time to get moving, and make your own movies
I know it's a start, I know it, I know it by heart
Years, well they all flow by, when old friends they pass by
It's changed with the roll of the dice
I've been where you are now
I've worn the same scars
It's changed, in the blink of an eye
I've read all the books, and told all the stories
I know them by heart, I know them by heart
It's time to get moving, and make your own movies
I know it's a start, I know it, I know it by heart
Time said it would be there for us
Take care of us
And keep everyone strong
But time wasn't there for us at all
Didn't care for us at all, got on the bus and went home
( I know it by)
I've read all the books ( I know it, I know it)
I've told all the stories ( I know it, I know it)
It's time to get moving ( I know it, I know it)
And make your own movies ( I know it, I know it by heart)
I know it by heart....

Sunrise over the ocean
03:55

Sunrise over the ocean, sun sets over the town
Barely hanging on for years
Same speed but different gears
It's too late for you my Dear
Some hard promises....
There's a fault line on these hands
Just sentient grains of sand
Out into the either land
On a beach that goes forever
Sunrise over the ocean, sun sets over the town
I'm where I wanna be, Waiharakeki
Kick of the shackles at night
And nothing ever looked so pretty
As midnight in Sydney city and I might not get home tonight
Sunrise over the ocean, sun sets over the town

Scarborough Hill
03:19

Some nights this city takes it's toll
Slowly chokes, but still I know
I can hide from it all
The cement arms misery
Loneliness needs to be
With good company
So we ungirt everything, and we disappear on the motorways
Until we reach
Scarborough Hill
With nothing there but scenery
Of the ocean holding back the city
It all made sense to me
With only the stars to hear us shout
We fuelled the night, until we passed out
And laughed at how good it felt
We stayed there morning came
And the day drove us back again
The winds blow still
On Scarborough Hill
