waiting on this sunny afternoon
hope they'll be back soon
'cos I don't think I've got much more to say
too much of nothing to do today
watch you smoke your cigarette
waiting for the element
any day I'd drive for you
I know it takes some time
glad to be your partner in crime
but this just won't do
hotter than the knives making me spin
you look so good when you hold it in
whoah-oh, I really must
but I don't know, so I'll just
watch you smoke your cigarette
I think I'm over it
but any day I'd drive for you
I know it takes some time
just a little bit on my mind
but this just won't do
you know, that I don't mind
won't you be my partner in crime
this just won't do

In My Head Tonight

in my head tonight
I won't feel the same
just a buzzy girl
messing with my brain
in my head tonight
I won't take the blame
my buzzy world
it's not gonna change
but I don't really know
another way to let it go
tonight
maybe I'll get it right
another time
to ease my little mind
tonight
someday I'll get it right
in my head tonight
it's not gonna change
this buzzy moment
it's still the same
tonight

He was a cost
He was a cost to all who met him
He was a loss
He was a loss to all who cared
He was the boss
He thought that we could never touch him
He was the boss
He always acted to strike fear
Monopoly Man
Monopoly Man
Monopoly Man
A Mr. Monopoly Man
He was a tyrant
Runnin' everybody raw
He was a pirate
You'd walk the plank if you were caught
He was silent
When he should have kept his mouth shut
And he's a pilot
Flying away from his own wreck
Monopoly Man
Monopoly Man
Monopoly Man
A Mr. Monopoly Man
Hey mister monopoly man
I ain't gonna eat outta your hand
No more on the floor like an industry whore
Enough is enough, time to settle the score
Cause I don't wanna be that man, I'm in it for love
So don't attack step back from the slap of my glove
And stop givin' a shit like a wannabe mobster
I ain't no small fish no I'm a mother-fuckin' lobster
Step into my office take a seat boy do you hear?
Do you understand that your whole band ain't gonna make it without my care?
Think about it fame and fortune if you do just what I say
So think about it boy, what do you say, what do you say, what do you say?
No we're not gonna play your game
Runnin in circles praising your name
We're not gonna suck your dick
Just for a taste of the fame
We'll make it our life mission to see you, see you fall
So you better listen up because it won't be too long
This layer cake that you've been building up is gonna tumble down
Tumble down
Tumble down
Tumble down
Tumble down
Monopoly Man

killin' time, just in case you pass me by
I'll say hi, and you'll look back teasing eyes
maybe I, might even get a passing smile
and if I'm right, it won't be as hard this time cos'
I'm getting better baby
I'm gonna follow through on
all these choices that I'm making and
all I really want, is you
throw it away, 'cos I don't need this shit today
whoah-oh hey, I'm running out of things to day but
I'm getting better baby
I'm gonna follow through on
all these choices that I'm making and
all I really want, is you
killin' time, just so I can pass you by
why must I be so fucking stupid all the time
so how about it, you and me
can't you see, we got a some chemistry
so how about about baby
can't you see I'm better than I used to be
so how about about baby
can't you see I'm smarter than I used to be
so how about about baby
can't you see I'm older than I used to be

What Am I Supposed To Do

I tried my luck, yesterday but you weren't there
seems to me girl that you ain't any where and
this frustration's got me pacing up the walls
better take a moment before I make another call
and I'm getting wasted buying drinks
just to talk to you
but what am I supposed to do
I'm going nuts writing
stupid songs just ain't enough girl
but what am I supposed to do
just to see you
I tried my luck, once again I come up empty handed
like a chump but I swear I tried so hard to plan it
and I'm going crazy maybe I should find a different angle
where the loose ends are a little quicker to untangle
and I'm getting wasted buying drinks
just to talk to you
but what am I supposed to do
I'm going nuts writing
stupid songs just ain't enough girl
but what am I supposed to do
just to see you
I got a girl, on my mind tonight I'm
trying to fight the feeling stare at the ceiling till
the morning light comes reeling through my
window where did you go last night you're out of sight and I can't find
and I'm getting wasted buying drinks
just to talk to you
but what am I supposed to do
I'm going nuts writing
shitty songs just ain't enough girl
but what am I supposed to do
just to see you
what am I supposed to do

Half-past-ten in this dark and dingy den
Looking for something to eat
But there's nothing to chew
No nothing to do so I guess we'll just wait and see
Wanna do some cleaning but there's so much to do
The house is full of rot and there's shit in my shoe
So I guess I'll head down to the WINZ office
Get my fill on John Keys profits
There's rats in my ceiling
So I guess ten cats sounds appealing
But I don't understand your rap about how self-control results in healing
Now thanks to you I've done too much to soon
My head's gonna explode from this thinking
So afternoon tug then I'm off to the pub
To settle in for some drinking
Ten-past-eleven at the Lucky-7
Looking for something to drink
But there's so much to hit and so much to sip that I think I'm about to sink
Half-past-nine sends a shiver down the spine
Grab another cigarette
What am I doing up at this goddamn hour
Looking and feeling like shit
Put on my coat
Head out the door
Catch the bus to WINZ office ground floor
What did you say mister
Oh I'm rather enjoying this life sir
Oh just do nothing all day
Spend up and play
Feed by the man
Do nothing all day (do nothing all day)
Spend up and play (spend up and play)
Feed by the man

I'll admit, that I was full of shit
when I said I could live like this
'cos I'm a mess, waiting for your text
addicted like caffeine and cigarettes and
its clear to me, one of these days
I'm gonna lose my head
tomorrow's gonna be, just another yesterday so
where does it end
daijoubu
'cos I'll try to find, another day, another line
another way, to get left behind and
there you are, a little wave across the bar and
everything goes back to the start
its clear to me, one of these days
I'm gonna lose my head
I'll never be, good enough again I'd say so
I guess I'll forget
