Well, this is about something that happened to me recently. Let's just say that I can't trust as many people as I think I can and that the original title of this track was going to be 'Blackmail'. If you're reading this, you know who you are! It's a fast paced, guitar driven track that, despite having aggressive and dark undertones, is fun and really ironic in it's portrayal of love and friendship. I think. Well, it did sound good.

Blackmail, or How to Perfect the Art of

Blackmail, How to Perfect the art of

Little Tom
Puts the pressure on
He wants to find out
Nice and easy
From his girlfriend

(phone voice)

He thinks he can do it like this
He must be taking the piss
He thinks he can bend me
Break me
Hurt me
Shake me

(end phone voice)

Weak Tom
Doesn't think its wrong
I used to be his friend
Now he's driving me
Round the bend

(phone voice)

He believes he can do it this way
Believes he can do it today
He thinks he can change me
Make me better for him
I think I'd better make him see

(end phone voice)

Loser Tom
Wants to make ends meet
He tries to pressure me
Gets his fire breath out
Puts on the heat, yeah

I can't fathom
Why he thinks what he is doing is right
I have to wonder
Why she sees him as a leading light

(short drum buildup)

(chorus)

I wonder why they do this
Yeah, I think of how I used to trust them
Used to tell them all the things that mattered most to me
Now I open my eyes
I look at their lying faces
I think I finally see...

(phone voice)

What your all about, yeah, yeah
I think I realised
Your nothing more to me
I think I know now
Your not really very good friends to me, yeah

(end phone voice)

(small solo)

I know i'm worthless to you now
I just sit and wonder how
we got to this place
But then I realised
That this is not a race

I guess you were never proper friends to me
My proper friends would never hurt me this way
I'm gonna put your lies behind me
Gonna lose your deceit
I'm gonna start living today
Not gonna do no blackmail
In the summer heat

I guess its your way of life
Give other people trouble and strife
I don't know why you do it though
And between you and me
Your girlfriends a hoe

Yeah!!!

(solo)

(chorus)

(build up)
