------ ~LYRICS~ In my little town… In my little town… And if you run somewhere, you could be somewhere And you could die somewhere if you use sunwear ------
2.
------ ~LYRICS~ And I don't wanna go back to the start No I don't wanna go back to the start And I just can't live in any other time than now, oh-woah-oh And I won't just sit here and explain No I won't just sit here and explain How the deck is stacked in so many ways, you (can't) see, mm-hm-mm If you're any kind of other Turns out things are just harder Yes, we each sometimes cry: "I don't wanna be dismembered!" And I don't believe in the good old days No I don't believe in those good old days That fiction is vicious and essentially garbage, oh-wa-oh And this talk of making things great again No, this talk of making things white again It's as easy to see through as your bland-ass culture, oh-ho-ho If you're any kind of other Turns out things are just harder Yes, we each sometimes cry: "I don't wanna be dismembered!" If you're our kind of other Trans siblings, sisters and brothers Queer siblings, sisters and brothers Disabled siblings, sisters and brothers Our best days are yet to come When these fascist motherfuckers’ll hardly be remembered ------

------ ~LYRICS~ Come on over, in the hot wet Summer, I hear you’re in new in town Come on over, oh yeah I play in a band, you probably ain’t heard of us Oh, would you like to join our scene? Oh, would you like to join our scene? Oh, would you like to join our scene? Josie, Josie Josie, Josie Come on over, see those drums and guitars, teach us a thing or two? Come on over, how do you deal with those chumps? Archie seems such a fool Oh, would you like to join our scene? Oh, would you like to join our scene? Oh, would you like to join our scene? Melody, Melody Melody, Melody Oh, would you like to join our scene? Oh, would you like to join our scene? Oh, would you like to join our scene? Valerie, Valerie Valerie, Valerie And did you know? You were the best in Riverdale, You were the best in Riverdale You were the best in Riverdale ------

------ ~LYRICS~ Coffee mornings With other parents And then football games on Sundays ------
5.
------ ~LYRICS~ This girl was out of a dream/She looked and sounded like me So I slapped her hand/Said, "I want you in my band" ------
6.
------ ~LYRICS~ June couldn't come quick enough for the ones who play outside But Kate and I, we were alright: uptight, every night, summer fun Metallica shows, disdain for The Rolling Stones, hipster vinyl on CD [hipster vinyl on CD] Tekken Tag, impressions of lads, did you see her see him see me? [Did you see her see him see me?] [Did you see her see him see me?] And this is how our summer's made Kate are you leaving? And yeah, we both need to behave Early in the evening! The rumour-mill nights spent online, like a horror movie plot unfolds These times would be dull, hey JT Krul: your Justice League sucks or so I'm told [Batman, Superman] But Kate and I, we pass the time trying not to roll in the hay Our schemes evolve, sidetrack our minds, so we behave like non-lovers should behave [be!] [Did you see her see him see me?] And this is how our summer's made Kate are you leaving? And yeah, we both need to behave Early in the evening! ... Kate, are you leaving? Early in the evening? Kate, are you leaving? Early in the evening ------

------ ~LYRICS~ She likes to listen to ska, she doesn't play guitar But she's still the coolest in the band by far ------
8.
------ ~LYRICS~ Headin' out across the town Goin' down to the supermarket All the things I want to buy are not on sale Run into an old friend She's browsing the cosmetics And I know it's not my business, but I just can't help it And all those times in the last six months We passed without a goddamn word Seem foolish now, we laugh anyhow.. We each have stories, need to be heard And I ask, "Well, how are the kids?" And she says, "Well, how is Liz?" And we both go, "You don't want to know, you don't want to know" Make plans for later on Take the bus into Cooper's Town Opt to hit the nearest bar, and find neither of us drinks So it's a root beer for me, and a lemonade for her It's all good And the hours slip by as though we were [YOUNG] And all those times in the last six months We passed without a goddamn word Seem foolish now, we laugh anyhow.. We each have stories, need to be heard And I ask, "Well, how are the kids?" And she says, "Well, how is Liz?" And we both go, "You don't want to know, you don't want to know" And movin' on We catch a late night movie Once the curtain comes down, we head back to town [And at the end of the night] I said "I wish I'd known just how you were" "Well I'm only like this now", she says and adds "So it's just perfect, if rather quite tragic" [AND TEARS] 'Cause all the time of the last ten years When we could have had so much more It's stupid now, impossible anyhow.. And I shout, "Remember the kids!" And she says, "Well, I hate Liz" And yeah, she confirms "I always did, I always did" How does it end? How does our story end? Let's just say nothing special It was a quiet year ------

------ ~LYRICS~ Don't tell me that you like me/Even if you do It'll only make it weird/Even if I do too, like you Because you're sad and I'm sad/And it's fun And this way we're in competition Sing sing sing/Sing sing sing/sing sing sing Point your ray gun over there/It's time to steal Jemina's hair Gimme gimme, I want that do/It's time to stick it up, so stick it up, up you Don't tell me that you like me/Even if you do It'll only make it weird/Even if I do too, and I like you Because you're sad and I'm sad/And it's fun And this way we're in competition Sing sing sing/Sing sing sing/Sing sing sing Point your ray gun over there/It's time to steal Jemina's hair Gimme gimme, I want that do/It's time to stick it up, so stick it up, up you Point your ray gun over there/It's time to steal Jemina's hair Gimme gimme, I want that do/It's time to stick it up, so stick it up, up you ------

------ ~LYRICS~ And do you wanna play baseball in the park? And do you wanna play baseball after dark? No more fried food, no more chicken and fries No more fried food, no more chicken and fries Self-esteem issues don't go away like that ------
11.
------ ~LYRICS~ You can do anything with Jesus You can do anything with Jesus You can do anything with Jesus ------
12.
------ ~LYRICS~ And ever since I got back From living abroad Things have changed, I know And ever since you came down From that long, long trip Your face is tired, I see And that's alright, spending time with your other friends tonight And I'll stay home if you don't mind And that's okay, spending time at my mother's place tonight Home-cooked meals Look so nice Look so nice Look so nice, tonight It might be a date (it might be a date) Oh, I think it's a date But it's not my business, and I'm late And that's alright, spending time with your new boyfriend tonight And I'll stay home, 'course I don't mind It's alright, I'm taking care of my Playstation tonight Assassin's Creed ------
13.
------ ~LYRICS~ And now I drag out my tattered little notebook that keeps my scattered thoughts together I'm sitting, dancing without motion, dreaming without sleep I'm dragging on the floor, desperate without sound, screaming without voice I'm laying angry, with no frown, a king with no crown Loss, I know I have a loss - but I couldn't care less Loss, I know I have a loss - but I couldn't care less I've lost something, a deep thing, shows on my face like a bruise on infant skin A wound I am left with, burning searing, hurting ever so softly So softly I don't notice, but it's there, it exists Now I contemplate, or am annoyed with the outcome I don't want anything/I don't need anything I don't want change/Or for things to stay the same I just want nothing/And it pains more than desire/It bothers more than gain Should I wait?/Or let go?/ A mind so restless/A wish so strong Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing I can see it/I can see it I can't have it Loss, I know I have a loss - but I couldn't care less Loss, I know I have a loss - but I couldn't care less Loss, I know I have a loss - but I couldn't care less Loss, I know I have a loss - but I couldn't care less ------

Keep Warm 02:15
------ ~LYRICS~ When we set out at the start of the week Not to fight, not to lie Eleanor, can you keep me warm In the light of this shitty college dorm? And I investigate where you went Year abroad, time well spent And it unfolds like the daily news All your friends, set to lose Though not that close, it's still a fucking loss Your new dyed hair should come down off that cross And I investigate where you went Year abroad, time well spent Time well spent And you were, like, a genius And you were, like, a genius And you were, like, a genius And you were, like, a genius ------
