| THE PAPER BOY (MUSCUTT) From the womb to the tomb your lime green borders look so nice Mrs Jones How did you get them nice was it time or was it vice and what time does your husband get home While he�s slaving at his desk oh well I�m giving it my best in the room you call the bedroom zone I�m only looking for some meaning but your chest is so appealing can�t I stay oh just a little bit more I deliver the papers every morning after nine when your other half has driven down the drive And when he�s safely out of view oh then we�ll have a drink or two and then I�ll let you live out your other life But when all is said and done we both felt rather numb as we lay resting afterwards outside On the balcony it�s breezy and your carpet is so fleecy so tell me please just can�t we go inside I get nothing from this nagging I only come here for the shagging don�t tell me that you�ve only just realised? I deliver the papers every morning after nine when your other half has driven down the drive And when he�s safely out of view oh then we�ll have a drink or two and then I�ll let you live out your other life And then one day I thought �oh begger� I suppose it could never last forever It was your husband pulling up from work outside He was seven hours early he was ever so butch and burly but when he saw us both he just jumped right on in I deliver the papers every morning after nine when your other half has driven down the drive And when he�s safely out of view oh then we�ll have a drink or two and then I�ll let you live out your other life This is perhaps my most comedic song � there�s something �Carry On� or like those �Confessions� films about it. It�s about a hormonal teenage paperboy who has an affair with a bored housewife when her husband has gone to work. Not the best song in the land, but I thought it was quite funny. It�s not meant to be serious or anything! Catch it while you can, I�m never usually this light-hearted when I�m writing songs! SOMETIMES (MUSCUTT) Sometimes I think of jacking it all in but then I talk to you and it seems alright again How do you do these things you do to me I only want to know because to be honest I haven�t got a clue So try to adjust to how you think I�m feeling now I just want to end everything and go Sometimes you make me think twice about the situation I find myself in every day Sometimes I think of just dropping it all but then you give me a call and make me feel ok How do you know how I�m feeling and have the ability to know exactly what to say to me You don�t need to adapt to how I�m feeling now because you seem to have a way with me Sometimes you make me think differently about why I�m here for all this time So when I wake up every morning I�m going to remember what you said for the rest of my life Yeah I�ll remember everything you told me and how I should feel proud of what I�m doing today Sometimes I feel I should be somewhere else doing something new with somebody I don�t know Even though you know you think I don�t mean it you kid yourself pretending that you know I do So just stop a while and remember how I feel you know how I feel you know I never wanted this Sometimes I might forget what you told me so long ago so please forgive me and give me a second chance And when I wake up every morning I�m going to try to remember what you said for the rest of my life Yeah I�ll try so hard to remember everything you told me and how I should feel proud of what I�m doing today This song was based on some advice someone gave me about trying to feel proud of how I�m at university and that some people don�t get as far as I have in education. They obviously knew I absolutely hate university, and were trying to cheer me up. So from now on I�m going to try and remember what they said and feel more optimistic about my experiences there. I know deep down that I won�t though, because no matter how hard I try to get rid of it, I just have this deep rooted hatred of students and stereotypes that I will never lose. It was very caring of this person to tell me how I should be more positive though. THE NEW AGE (MUSCUTT) All the buildings here are new to me this feeling in the air is new to me So cold but so new and I�ve never felt anything like this before This is the new stuff and this is the other side I�ve never seen This is the new way this is the new age of modern times All the streets have looked the same until now and the sky seems nearer Still cold but so new and I�ve never seen you looking like this before This is the new stuff and this is the other side I�ve never seen This is the new way this is the new age of modern times I went walking with this friend of mine from university one day when most of our lectures had been cancelled, and we had something mad like five hours to spare. Anyway, we just went walking to this totally new part of Coventry I�d never seen before and it was just amazing. Everything looked so different to the side of the place I was used to seeing, and there was like, something in the air � sounds pretty stupid if you have no idea what I�m on about � but if you know what it�s like when it�s just about to snow or it has just started, it was like that. Pretty magical or something. OK, call me a mad man, I can�t really express what it felt like � it was unexplainable I guess. Kind of a personal thing. I just remember thinking how nothing really mattered at that time, it was just experiencing something totally new. SEE (MUSCUTT) Years ago I might have taken what you were giving years ago I might have taken what you did and said nothing Years ago I might have looked upon what you did as something to be cautious of but that was years ago You see me now and I�m nothing like I was because now I�m better and now I�m more than you Years ago you said I�d come to nothing never live up to my name years ago I might have agreed with all of that Years ago I got knocked down and never used to come up always used to stay down but that was years ago You see me now and I�m nothing like I was because now I�m better and now I�m more than you You see me now and I�m nothing like I was because now I�m better and now I�m more than you Just a short thing really about people who kind of persecuted you or had something against you earlier in your life, not like bullying, though I guess it could apply to that, but it�s more about people who always used to bitch about you and slag you off and things. You might have taken it on the chin and accepted it when you were younger, but the main point of this song is how people change and then realise they don�t have to take shit from people and stand up to them more. |
