Oh this monumental feeling
Of everything to be before
I couldn’t help but wanting more
And oh this monumental feeling
Now and then I wonder why
I never really touched the sky

This sad illusion carries me
Yes there will be problems after these
Of all the things, of this you can be sure
And how this grand confusion will be yours

This sweet deception will unfold
Until there is no meaning to be told
In the end does it matter if it’s real?
Just the truth of how it makes you feel

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
You must decide
Revenge or the truth?

In all the world
There is so much more
To deceive you
(All things must come and go)
The royal force
And the Trojan horse
That will seem true
(For this I was never told)
And to find
There is nothing more
Than your own life
(Then reaching the end of line)
Like the thrill
And the driving will
Just to survive

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Judgement awaits
The moment of truth

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Lost in belief
Fooled by the truth

Do you remember my name?
I was 16 years
Action had no consequence
Do you remember that day?
You were so very smart
And brazen with your confidence

I found pleasure on my local bus
A human body on which to brush
There were uniforms to adjust
And all the girls and girls and girls
I got six strings in a guitar shop
Read the record charts start to top
I found music that would never stop
Singing Duran Duran Duran

Do you remember my name?

Do you remember my name?
I had 16 fears
And 60 curiosities
Do you remember the pain?
I thought getting rid of you
Would pay for this atrocity

I got happy like an April Fool
I was damned by a Christian school
I was hungrier than the wolf
Singing do do, do do, do do

Do you remember my name?

When I feel wrong, I need the news *
I want some issues, I want views
I want to laugh, I want to sob
I need perfection in a bob
When I don’t quite know how to feel
I want the truth to be concealed
And if I don’t know who to trust
I’ll take your pleasure and disgust

Every time you look at me
Every chance you’ve got to read
I am emotion, I show flesh
I’m your saviour, I am the press

Stop the press (you love it girl)
Stop the press (you want it girl)
Stop the press (you need me girl)

When I see wrong all around **
And your remorse is so profound
I want confession every time
I need your message to be mine
I want debate and argument
Give me guilt and consequence
And if I can not find the link
Please just tell me what to think

Every star who’s adding weight
Every heartbreak on a plate
Every look you’ve got to show
My dirty trash you’ve got to know

The words on the page
And the image it displayed
How my heart ran away
And I paid

Like a bank to a thief
With tight gritted teeth
The editor in chief
Smiled away

* When I feel nothing, I need news
** When I see tragedy abound

I began with no protection
Everything was a lie
And I couldn’t find
Any help at all
Except the old school tie

Those memories seem distant
But I feel like it’s déjà vu
Have I been here before today?
Either way, I’m screwed

And I know everything you know
And I know everything I’ve got to be
Like you too
I’ve seen better days

Six months further on
It’s not so bad or good
I can’t really make the same complaints
As well as I really should

And I feel like I’m a crossword
With clues I’ll never find
And I do not know
If I’m right or wrong
Perceptive and/or blind

Entwined in complication
Entangled all the way
Where is this place I’ve landed in
And how can I escape?
