1.	Last Chance To Dance 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Forget your image and loosen up It’s time to get on the dance floor and pick it up Instead of getting moving and jumping to the ceiling You’ve got me now thinking, I’m wondering what you’re feeling You’ve got me now thinking ‘Hey man are you alright?’ There’s no dancing tonight say are you feeling alright? The band’s playing but you guys are standing around You paid your door tax in just to stare at the ground You’ve got me now thinking, I’m wondering what you’re feeling You’ve got me now thinking ‘Hey man are you alright?’ There’s no dancing tonight say are you feeling alright?
2.	Panic 03:04	lyrics	buy track
It’s on the TV and in the papers So stay inside cos there’s nowhere safer We can see, we can see army on the streets Panic it’s a state of emergency We can see, we can see Blues on the beat Panic it’s a state of emergency We can see, we can see bloodshed on the streets Panic it’s a state of emergency No sleep, no sleep on a drip of caffeine Panic it’s a state of emergency This propaganda breeds paranoia If you believe it - it will destroy ya We can see, we can see kids on the streets Panic it’s a state of emergency We can see, we can see rows of police Panic it’s a state of emergency We can see, we can see petrol bombs light the streets Panic it’s a state of emergency Don’t sleep, don’t sleep ‘til your dead on your feet Panic it’s a state of emergency We can see, we can see army on the streets Panic it’s a state of emergency We can see, we can see rows of police Panic it’s a state of emergency We can see, we can see bloodshed on the streets Panic it’s a state of emergency Is this a riot or a cry out for peace? Panic it’s a state of emergency.
3.	So Many People, So Little Time (free) 03:43	lyrics	download
So many people in this life They work too hard they don’t do it right So many people with so little time You gotta take that time and make that time count You get up early and you’re working and you’re sleeping and you die You stay up late and you’re drinking and you’re smoking and you die And the souls all in the waiting room It’s filled with darkness and it’s filled with gloom So many people with so little time You gotta take that time and make that time count
4.	Robot Repeat 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Robot, robot, repeat, repeat 8 hours on my fuckin' feet Repeat, repeat, robot, robot My brain's synapses start to rot Robot, robot, repeat, repeat I start to melt in this inferno's heat Repeat, repeat, robot, robot Not the existence that I sought The mind erodes Death to thought I've turned auto But I hope I'm not Robot Robot, robot, repeat, repeat A servant, a subservient lump of meat Repeat, repeat, robot, robot What is this bind in which I'm caught? Robot, robot, repeat, repeat This life with frustration replete Repeat, repeat, robot, robot Why am I here? What reason? What? We're worse than sheep We don't bleat Staying sane Is no mean feat Repeat Robot, robot, repeat, repeat Slaving on, admit defeat Repeat, repeat, robot, robot The iron chains around me taut Robot, robot, repeat, repeat You've gotta work to fuckin' eat Repeat, repeat, robot, robot Toil for what you haven't got.
5.	Stick Around 03:19	lyrics	buy track
You say you wanna cheer me up Cos I always look and seem so down You say you want me to be a friend but I always seem to let you down Oh hang around Oh stay around Oh stick around For one more night call round and fool around The summer time brings good weather The sunlight it will make you better You say to get out and clear your head but I’d rather just stay in bed
6.	Dead Eyes 03:44	lyrics	buy track
The evening sun – fragile like this life But the curtain pulled and I still knew that with night turned out the light No sign of consequence, no sign of you Real life doesn’t make it true but the image it lives on and on... You take right off and you head straight for the top But you turn it right back round again in case your wings burn and you drop So sick of all of this, I’m so sick of you And as for you, you sicken me too, my headache it goes on and on... Can’t see, can’t see - dead eyes stare back at me Can’t see, can’t see – red mist descends on me Can’t see, can’t see – dead eyes stare back at me Can’t see, can’t see – dead eyes stare back.
7.	Modern Life Parasite 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Out on the prowl in the Summer time Out on the prowl eyes on the dance floor Fire her a wink, you’ve got time to think Buy her a drink you’ll get what you wish for Then you circle round and survey like a satellite Then you pick a victim and feast like a parasite People say it’s sick you don’t care it’s just modern life Your chat up line is ‘You’re coming home with me’ You don’t even know That tonight you’re coming home with me ...And you’ll see who she’s been with and when she’s been dancing Her company says it’s time to leave You move in with ease – professional sleaze.
8.	Tetrisaurus Rex 02:37	lyrics	buy track
Thumbs the size of melons you’ve never seen sunlight A war in 2 dimensions – FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! An entire existence played in 16 bytes You’ve never had a real friend – FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Holed up in the bedroom morning, noon and night Console consolation – FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Social interaction (there’s) no need to get it right When you can beat Robotnik – FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Jurassic Park and Tetris and shell suits oh so bright Tyson versus Bruno – FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Blanka on the left, M. Bison on the right Plug in, press start – FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
9.	Drinkin' 02:00	lyrics	buy track
I think there was a time I shoulda stopped drinkin now I’m not so sure I think there was a time I shoulda stopped drinkin yeah I think there was a time that I stopped drinkin but I’m still thinkin about still drinkin This time I’m gonna stop drinkin yeah Gotta stop drinkin Got to start thinkin. I think this is the time that I’ll stop drinkin I know this to be true I think this is the time and so do all of you I think it’s the time that I’ll stop drinkin but I’m still thinkin about still drinkin I’ll stop tomorrow one more drink will do Gotta stop drinkin Got to start thinkin.
10.	This Short Life 03:02	lyrics	buy track
I'm not scared By the looming oblivion beyond They sell fear to their masses But I won't buy, I won't tremble, won't be conned This short life's all that we have. Why waste it? I'm not scared By tales of eternal damnation Heaven and hell are both earthbound It's what we are, what we're doing, what we've done Make the best life you can. Don't waste it. You only fear what you don't know. Just one brief flicker of consciousness Then never-ending days of being dead A speck of dust afloat in the abyss Survived by things you've done and what you've said Nothingness is waiting While you're procrastinating Sliver of life goes wasting Start living If this short life's all we have, why waste it?
11.	The End 03:51	lyrics	buy track
This is the tale of celebrity glory Rags to riches it’s the same old story I don’t read on cos I can see Your story’s just a picture printed on page 3 Is this the life that you’ve been striving for? Is this the life that you’ve been dying for? Is this the life that we all want for? It’s not the life it’s not the life for me. You’ve got the life – try 9 to 5 to survive. Once upon a time in a world of headlines A story is told of what you do at night time Deny, refute, respect privacy – ‘You can’t prove it was me!’ Big Brother House and jungle pursuits Tabloid tales about substance abuse A role model once you stood so tall But the cameras were there to capture your fall This is the end, the end of it all. Try 9 to 5 to survive.
