Grinspoon - American Party Bomb
Mic check 1 2, check it... alright!
I was strollin' down the avenue
I was strollin down when I met you
Yeah on 5th Avenue
I wasn't recently dead
Replacement.smoking.cancer
A lucky find, a lucky fine day
You thought that was my way
Unlucky guess, babe
I stole a Hawaiian shirt
Colour.clash.sew to.get it
Could you be... the enemy?
(bass, drums, me)
You sell your alibi
I could never make a fuss
It's all too much
Another puff, yeah, socialize
I'm socializing
American party bomb
You can be covered and warm
Could you be the enemy?
You simply slip into an innocent dream
You're in it.. you're f**kin' in it...

Walking in a rain storm
Supper in the ocean
Wishing I was water
Wishing they could sort it out
See the garden lover
Fighting on the freeway
Quickly Undercover
So anyone who never lost
Are you ready for a change to come
There's already one already one
ALREADY ONE!
Thinking like the rink think
A stagger for the fist fight
Start off with the jump team
Paranoia made it right! Hey!
Are you ready for a change to come
There's already one already one
ALREADY ONE!
I'll see the sibblings
Except for the last scene
Come Back
Kid come back!
Are you ready for a change to come
There's already one, already one
There's already one,
ALREADY ONE!

stunned
shoulder on
you're stunned
shoulder on you
get what you had to borrow
all it cost was some sorrow
go right where you are
you say that it's not that far
i know where you can get it
i can see that you need it
let's go so you can taste it now
you can blame all the others
for your fake undercover
let's go so you can take it now
stunned
rolled around
you're running
from the crowd
you wait for the things to happen
it's just an automatic
shy, you're seeing through
you've got photos of me next to you
i know where you can get it
i can see that you need it
let's go so you can taste it now
you can blame all the others
for your fake undercover
let's go so you can take it now
stunned
shoulder on
you're running
from the crowd
this is just the beginning
and you just think it's ending
go right instantly
you stay and are let in for free
i know where you can get it
i can see that you need it
let's go so you can taste it now
you can blame all the others
for your fake undercover
let's go so you can take it now
alright!

do a little bit of fuckin tang
try to sit down but you gotta dance
all you want is just a half a chance
all she wants is just a fun romance
i gotta pocket full of change lets get tanked
a pocket full of change lets get tanked
all you want is just half a chance
come on lets dance sugar
lets dance
lets dance
i gotta lot of people that i'd like to thank
suspended animation critical think tank
shed a tear or maybe bust a rhyme
know you love to have a real good time
you can stand out near the ocean line
i'll come to you and somewhere suffering second night
i was kicked out of my school social
no school social
school social
school social
do a little bit of fuckin tang
try to sit down but you gotta dance
all you want is just a half a chance
all he wants is just a fun romance
i gotta pocket full of change lets get tanked
a pocket full of change lets get tanked
all you want is half a chance
after all is said and done your still a vision
complimentry drinks to you you've found your reason
and you won't hear it on the television see it on the radio
you won't hear it on the television see it on the radio...

such a pity
u left today
from the city
of broken waves
all though u promised
i've been betrayed
4 some secret
that u needed
4 some secret
she's the girl that u never liked anyway
kill the city
in waterways
in the shitty
brown golden waves
although u promised
i feel betrayed
4 some secret
that u needed
4 some secret
she's the girl that u never liked anyway

Would you like another pill
For printing up the dollar bills
In the end it's all the same
Keep on looking at the weather vane
Time controlling
Not worth knowing
Where the reasons' ending up it's easy to see
That no one cares, and nothing's free
You don't owe me
You can't sell that
Still controlling in the format
Get in a rock show
There's another fine reason
Get in a rock show
Yeah get in a rock show
When the joker plays another joke
The smoker takes another toke
Stars keep fallin from the sky
People watch and don't ask why
Glasses broken
Love unspoken
When the other preacher comes and rolls into town
You're looking up, you're looking down
You don't own me
You can't sell that
Still controlling in the format
Get in a rock show
There's another fine reason
Get in a rock show
There's another find rejected
You don't own me
You can sell that
Still controlling in the format
Get in the rock show
There's another fine reject
Get in a rock show
There's another fine reason
It's still all the same show
For still the same reason
Get in a rock show
There's an undefined reason...

| Better Off Dead | |

rock!
why is there no fuckin relief
wired off your face trying to sleep
caught within the things you believe
falling into traps you concede
i don't need it
that fucking shit
since defeated
i'll be better off
when the fences stand up to tall
cry out cuase they don't answer you call
friends when your down they will fall
pretend you hear nothing at all
i don't need it
your fucking shit
still defeated
better off dead
I don't need it
I don't need it
why is there no fuckin relief
wired off your face trying to sleep
caught into a trap you believe
falling into things you believe
i don't need it
that fucking shit
since defeated
better off dead

| Violent And Lazy | |
|
And it's all over
Sin in the ratty air
I got suspended
Suspended in the air
I tried to kiss you
But you were never there
I went a-looking
Found you everywhere
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
And it's all over
Sin in the ratty yard
No, there's no pressure
Force fed buisness cards
I tried to kill him
Tried to kill you rock-n-roll star
Founding a bad trip
Some corperate facade
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
So now it's over
Envy the ratty star
Cause thats a winner
Love those business car
You're still pretending
Still sending those Christmas cards
And talking back there
Waiting at the bar
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport

Picture of a sold me a whale
Yeah, it was a good one
I ended up in jail
How 'bout a fancy rocket roll superstar
With it the backs think your pointing guitar
When fight was red
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Yeah I got myself
Some air accessory
Got to kill you, no wait your ways and capisa
Think they blew they ruined the back
You looking like a heart attack
Some are red and wanna pore my cup of tea,
Haha
Got a science trick
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time
What you need for it
Bust my knee flashlights
So bright I'm Segan
Owwwww!
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time
Would you be loud all the time, alright
Would you be loud all the time

as I was going to the party
u pulled a gun and I was naked
I talked to dread it was so silent
while they were looking up addresses
yarni marni oh yarni marni whats it all supposed to fuckin mean now
yarni marni oh marni yarni whats the government supposed to do?
I felt the ground and u were laughing
could it have been the pressure on the pressure pipe
the easy ant farm was a lesson
its easy to see what he wears is kinda right
yarni marni oh yarni marni whats it all supposed to fuckin mean now
yarni marni oh marni yarni whats the government supposed to do?
supposing I could make a monster
I set it on u like a firebird in the nite

cause pretty people there the only ones
DARE DOUBLE DARE
yarni marni oh marni yarni whats the government supposed to do now?
yarni marni oh marni yarni whats the imbecile supposed to do?
yarni marni oh marni yarni whats the government supposed to do now?

Give them reasons why
Fuck the real reasons
I was crucified
Still the wrong season
Now you're looking for a signpost that takes you to home
Now you're looking for a signpost
Signposted
Tell them out of luck
Jack the rap table
I don't give a fuck
Wrack the room fables
Now you're looking for a signpost that takes you to home
Now you're looking for a signpost
Signposted
Back in Disney Land
Cast away island
Still can't comprehend
'Cos the repeats over
Now you're looking for a signpost that takes you to home
Now you're looking for a signpost
Signposted
Now you're looking for a signpost that takes you to home
Now you're looking for a signpost

You made a fortune from your sole
So now trying resurrecting
You drew the map, they found the gold
Do I need an appointment
Some body looking in your window
Some baby searching for the sorrow
Next time he sees you she'll be told
About your recent study
They packed your bags and burned your clothes
Nothing got disconnected
Somebody looking in your window
Some baby searching far tomorrow
Some planets tend sooth the sole
Rainy, wet, sun, whatever
Just dump the plans we've kicked the goal
That's a fetch disappointment
Departure's unknown
Hey Hey
Somebody looking in your window
Some baby searching far tomorrow
Oh Yeah
Somebody looking in your window
Go baby gonna find some sorrow
