Now Or Never 04:14
The day we walked away Want to bring it back again It’s lost all meaning Won't you let me stay? And burn these bridges I'll leave you with a smile I just don't feel it Won’t you let me go! Pin me down Tie my hands behind my back Check my pulse My heart's still beating String me up Tie the rope around my neck Check my lungs I'm still breathing It's now or never A new day comes around Hailing a new sound Let's start believing And turn this ship around Heading for the storm All we feel's all we want Can't look back now Nowhere else to go Pull me in and hold on tight Don't let go It’s now or never It’s now or never

Et Tu Brute 03:49
So far so good, but we misunderstood The picture was to perfect And we never thought you could Do this, what's this? Oh no slap on the wrist Your knuckles turning whiter As you grip the knife you twist "Et tu Brute?" so we sigh Another knot to untie "Et tu Brute?' is how you play And you know no other way And it’s a dirty bird indeed That fouls its own nest and screams "Et tu Brute?" so you say But it's yourself you betray Oh no, oh no we have to let you go You've outstayed your welcome Your popularity plateaued Don't cry, don't cry, we had to say goodbye We were far to open And the door was far too wide "Et tu Brute?" so we sigh Another knot to untie "Et tu Brute?' is how you play And you know no other way And it’s a dirty bird indeed That fouls its own nest and screams "Et tu Brute?" so you say But it's yourself you betray

Like the ticking clock You will not stop You will not yield You will not drop Time and again There is no end You try it on But I can’t pretend Like an infection Avoiding correction There is no change Just changed direction Yes, like a disease No cure can appease No one can watch But everyone sees I can’t hear you It's always the same It's always the same When is the time that you will not lie to me Never lie to me, never lie to me I can't feel you Things will never change Things will never change When is the time to call in the cavalry It’s for you not me, you not me Further to fool Deceit is your fuel Smile on your face Outlook so cool Mirrors and smoke Stories and jokes Keep you alive But just make me choke The cackling clown He just won’t drown Hands round his neck But he won’t go down Misspent career So insincere You open your mouth But I must shut my ears I can’t hear you It's always the same It's always the same When is the time that you will not lie to me Never lie to me, never lie to me I can't feel you Things will never change Things will never change When is the time to call in the cavalry It’s for you not me, you not me Don’t you lie Don’t you lie When your lips open Your secrets your lies They come out like flies Don’t you lie

Well they've got something Something you lack At least that’s how it seems But it’s no fact And they give relief But now all we get is more grief And guarantees With extra fees Your heroes promise the sun No, they don't know what they've done Your heroes just lead you on No, No, I'd rather be an honest villain And they have style And they have grace But they don’t even know when they lied Straight to your face So what’s new? Now that all the guilt is on you They fooled themselves But so did you Your heroes promise the sun No, they don't know what they've done Your heroes just lead you on No, No, I'd rather be an honest villain So here’s the sun now watch and learn Don’t aim to close or you’ll get burned Yeah burned
5.
Insert words here And then score Dumb reflection Always leave them wanting more You and me sing endlessly but You say nothing, I say nothing Maybe that's the way it should be Just add soul now Ego healing Take a deep bow Try it one more time with feeling And if I told you something new, would that be "something" And if I gave you insight too, would that be “seeing” And if I left you with a thought, would that be “thinking” If I believe I’m making art, it’s me I’m fooling You and me sing endlessly but You say nothing, I say nothing Maybe that's the way it should be
6.
Shut up, shut up, You never listen You only give up “Cough up, cough up” Again, again, Enough is enough I'm not here for you I'm not here for you Falling further into fiction Crawling back inside addiction Cry wolf to your cash dispenser Hide behind “yourself defence”, yeah Bail out, bail out It’s all you know It’s all you're about Give in to the pill You’ve got your crutch And I get the bill I'm not here for you I'm not here for you Falling further into fiction Crawling back inside addiction Cry wolf to your cash dispenser Hide behind “yourself defence”

The last thing on your mind is memento mori But no escape route is incentive enough for me Comfortable is just another word for lost (no doubt) But there’s no comfort in waiting to be crossed out I don't want to waste my time left Don't you try to stop me thinking You talk of life; you don't know what it’s for Clutching at straws instead of asking more Surviving just to be put out to grass Don't want to waste a life behind the glass Tick tock, this wheel’s not ever going to stop Even long after I must shut up shop So I, yes I have something I should say Better to burn out then to fade away I don't want to waste my time left Don't you try to stop me thinking You talk of life; you don't know what it’s for Clutching at straws instead of asking more Surviving just to be put out to grass Don't want to waste a life behind the glass Long weight Lost face Long wait Lost fate I don't want to waste my time left Don't you try to stop me dreaming You talk of life; you don't know what it’s for Clutching at straws instead of asking more Surviving just to be put out to grass Don't want to waste a life behind the glass

You were sent here to test me Beyond the realms of possibility I don’t do clever I just make noise That’s how I like it Makes me so excited That’s how I like it Twisted and burning I drop you to your knees Devil on shoulder, he’s whispering to me “Don’t try and be clever You can’t fight noise” And now I like it Makes me so excited That’s how I like it I can’t say no, I can’t say no, I can’t say no, To me That’s how I like it Makes me so excited That’s how I like it

Bring me your cheers, light up the sky Grand puppeteer, watching you die So much you give, not to receive Soak up your trust, you must believe I am free While you pay respect to me I am free Only while you let me be Follow the face of me Fall in the place of me Lend me your ears I'll send you back the tears for free By faith or fear Only one choice, you get to choose Choke on the words, you'll never use You can't exist if you don't listen to me You can't resist, I'm everything Follow the face of me Fall in the place of me Lend me your ears I'll send you back the tears for free Fallen ghosts of liberty Cry out for the end of me Don’t look now. I’m closer than you think Somewhere between the gaps, don’t blink Don’t look. I’m closer than you know I’m here, I rule this show Follow the face of me Fall in the place of me Lend me your ears I'll send you back the tears for free

Free Fall Rag Doll Close call Brick wall I am the wrecking ball I take a swing and watch you fall I am your wrecking ball I'm within you, one and all Struck down No sound Bleed out No Doubt Slow motion emotional implosion Split second decimation I am the wrecking ball You will fall I am the wrecking ball You must fall I am the wrecking ball At some point you all fall I am the wrecking ball At some point you all must fall I am the wrecking ball I am inside you all

Sick 03:27
Fight, fate, the universe can wait Fight, fate, oh yeah the gods can wait Until I've lost my arms Until I've lost my feet Until I've cut the strings that bind me I won't accept defeat Fight, fate, the universe can wait Fight, fate, oh yeah the gods can wait Until I've lost my voice Until I lose my sight Until I break the strings that hold me I won't give up the fight Fight, fate, the universe can wait Don't want us to exist, just to be mistakes Not to love, not to learn, not to watch everything burn Not to breathe, not to try, not to live only to die Until I am still and cold “Impossible” has no foothold

about

I Plead Irony Farnborough, UK

I Plead Irony know exactly what they are doing.

These “accomplished band whores” as a local rock hero Paul Townsend (Hundred Reasons) describes them certainly provide more angst ridden, raw edged rock with lashings of melody then you can shake your “sign of the horns” or even a stick at! ... more
