Lower Than Atlantis

Tank full, Open road, Sat Nav programmed, Let's go! Speakers scream, Siamese Dream, The conversation flows. And we are miles away from the place where we're playing, We won't abide by the law, We are lads on tour. Poor diet, No sleep, Queue at th...

All work, and no play The game that you're playing You've got bills to pay And you've gotta pay 'em If you're bored of life indoors And don't have any plans Come on The more the merrier This night is a night to forget And we won't remember it This...

I fell in love online with a singer, I’ve been checking her page on Myspace every day without fail, messaging her. But there’s one minor detail that I forget to tell, I’ve never met the girl. I feel lame, speaking to her every day on Facebook ain't the sam...

Flashback to 1999, It's the summer, Not a cloud in the sky. Present day, Things have changed, Summer's over And it rains here every day. Don't cry, We all make mistakes from time to time. Unfortunately, for me, Being me was mine. Don't cry, We al...

Life, is this all there is? Every day’s the fucking same in this life I live. It’s the same routine every fucking day, tomorrow’s a re-run, the next day’s the same. I’m bored at Uni, I’m bored at home, I’m bored of spending hours on end bored in my room on...

I appreciate your help to date, Although I'm grateful, I'm jealous of you. And I wish upon a shooting star, That I might end up where you are, Will you wish too? Two wishes are better than one, dude! Green with envy, But thanking you profusely. You'v...

I'm not disappointed for the first time in my life. We got these songs recorded just in time, I sight with relief as I write these lines. When I listen back, To these three tracks, I hear the snare crack, And the guitars attack through the stacks, How...

Blue eyes gave the reason to spit these words in spite But now she regrets everything in regards to me She better stop those pretty eyes from gazing This wasn't done to hurt her But the lads expect a little drama She hasn't got the candy boys She hasn't...

In the back with the band after a show, When we know you shouldn't be there alone. We want someone different, can you remember what I said, So the lights are off and we're alone again. I'm not a boy that you'll forget, I'll make sure of it, Right now I t...

Alarm didn't go off And the water ain't hot Got a tea stain on my shirt Parking ticket, traffic jam In a red light stop And now you're ready for work Sometimes in life it's like you might as well give up And there's no point in going on because the goi...

You say You love her But you don't Love her She's another Scrubber. You are miserable, And I'm sure it's not my place But you knew girlfriends Not to my taste. Would you tell her There's no other? Introduce her To your mother? Could you trust h...

I'm sorry for feeling sorry for myself Feeling helpless could be helpful with a little help Hopelessly hopeful that my dreams will come true It's hard to focus when it's only day dreaming I do I'd be thoughtlessly thoughtless if I thought it would work But I'v...

Mike D - you get what you see Say it like it is and regularly I'm not faking, this is what I believe Live your life free, do what makes you happy No more, I've taken shit before But I am older now, a little wiser now No lies, if caring is a crime then I...

Father please, no need to preach The words you speak are not new to me Born and raised in yesterday I've seen your light and turned away You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink You can lead your lambs to slaughter, if it's what the shep...

Ahoy there! All aboard! This relationship is leaving shore. Anchors aweigh as I set sail, Through choppy seas, rain storms and gales. The sun is rising on the horizon, As I climb the mast, my heart's capsizing From the crow's nest, where the view is bes...

Lately I’ve noticed things have changed in this town, They aint the same as they used to be and it really fucking brings me down. I go to shows to watch the bands, I stand at the back with a drink in my hand, But I’m standing stage left on my own because al...

Street lights shine bright, illuminating Watford High Street on a Monday night. Fat slags are ‘dressed to kill’ with their short skirts barely covering arse cheeks making me ill. It’s student night, I can get in wearing trainers and it’s a pound a pint....

Oi! Alarm clock rings, another day in hell begins I'm going out of my mind, until she walks in They say love is blind, but my vision is fine Angels sing, when I look in her eyes I'm like... Emily, won't you sit next to me You've got such a pretty face...

Bags packed and by the door, they've been there for a week or so Passport is looking worn, in the picture I look 12 years old Outside the weather's cold, I'm wearing every sweater I own It's hot there so I've been told, won't be wearing nothing at all Thi...

How is it that there’s only ever 40 pages in this black and white and read all over that’s been around for ages? I refuse to believe that there’s only enough news in the world each day to fill the space that writers conveniently planned for on every page....

I close my eyes and think of nice things like summer in the park when I was riding my bike. Life was so much easier when I was 8, now I’m bitter, I’m twisted, I’m full of hate. I really don’t like the person I’ve become, what happened to the little boy...

Dear Dad, I think about you every now and then, I hope to God that I don’t turn out like you as I grip this pen. Every time you cross my mind, I cross my heart and hope to die, That I wont ever let myself become a disappointment to my mum. Father, you nev...

My teeth are clenched so tight my gums will bleed, As I watch the filth pig out and begin to feed from the flesh of whores, Off the bones of the ignorant minded who cant quite read the lines of male distinctive need. Just like this.. Drink up quick hun,...

Yeah I know that before I was hanging From the web that you weave by a thread I went down and let go of it Hit the floor with a bang as I laid there Felt a fool, had myself to blame A breath of fresh air could be the fire or blow out a flame Blow out th...

I'm taking my life back, I'm leaving yours I'm sick and tired of being hired to do someone else's chores. When weekend means nothing, there's something wrong. Work keeps me adrift in my sinking ship, I'm just floating along. I am a servant, you have the p...

[Verse 1] I hate everyone that I meet But I'm getting better Think before I speak because I I know I've got a temper (I know I've got a temper) Screws are shaking loose I'm bent and buckled My teeth are clenched [Pre-Chorus] Think I've blown a fuse...

So I've been told a long, long time ago A giant lived, now he sleeps The legend goes that when the creature shows He'll bring a gift the world can keep So we're gonna, so we're gonna Take it 'til we're satisfied So we're gonna, so we're gonna Take it b...

On the way home, I'm over thinking thoughts being thought again. Trending topics are romance, finance and friends. I'm not scared enough (I'm not scared enough) By the world outside. I'm growing up, it sucks But that's just life. Heartbreaks, mistake...

[Verse 1] The road is cruel, it's true I've been living life inside my head with no one to turn to Now it's too late and I'm too far gone Goodbye, I'm sorry, mom Where did I go wrong? [Chorus] This feeling won't leave me I'm leaving this evening I'm...

My tongue's tied and I don't know what to say You're sitting next to me, but you're so far away Slipping like sand through the fingers that once held you close We used to be best friends, and that's what hurts the most Keep reading...

Wishing I was someone else, It’s my own fault that I’m fucked up but I still worry about my mental health. I’ve g-g-got a stutter and the memory of a Goldfish, My mind is melting into mush because I barely use it. I think it’s time to sort it out, to get...

If the world was to end, would I plummet or ascend, or would I even know it’d happen. I'd like to believe, destiny has a plan for me. But my mind wont allow me the idea. Have you ever felt like your just waiting for you life to start, when things went bad...

Dressed to impress Sweat drips down her breast Heaven sent Money will be spent Long blonde hair I can't help but stare Lipstick red We'll end up in bed Know that you will find just what you need On the dance floor, dancing with me If you want love g...

On this week's episode, I'm influenced by a fictional character on a show. As I sit on my sofa with a pen and paper, I listen carefully and take notes. I write down lines that cringy guys say to get the girls and they never decline. Scanning the TV guide with...

The good die young and I won't get any younger Live fast die fun, and I'll sleep when I am dead I've heard time flies so I guess I should be flapping Everyone dies, gonna have fun till then They say that home's where the heart is Mine was broken long ago...

[Verse 1] Look down from the high clouds at the ground below When you hit the top, big drop, vertigo, on your way to go So, sing while you're winning Sing while you're winning 'Cause you know that it won't last You'll be forgotten in the past [Pre-Chor...

Incessantly expressing myself lyrically so literally has lead the listener to believe they have perceived the real me But why? I'm not your average guy There's more to me than what meets the eye (Chorus) I'm feeling scared and on my own You think you kno...

I'm going where nobody knows, To a place far away from my worries and my woes, Escape for a day, in the trees so I can play In a house made of sticks, on a branch in the shade. Frisbees and kites galore Cover the roof from summers before, Up high, near...

I’ve been pacing all the back streets, small steps, cigarette in hand, both feet barely touching the ground and I can’t find my lighter. My mouth is dry, I’m going blind, I’m as high as I kite and I think I might die tonight. I’ve been waiting for the firs...

From the outside looking in You can barely hear my voice I could be someone if you gave me half a chance From the inside looking out Maybe you'll hear me if I shout We will be something big and that I do not doubt We will... Move along, move along, move alon...

Our shoes are scuffed, our shirts are torn. No belts to hold up our jeans and the knees are worn. But we’re still alright, still going out tonight. This van is falling apart, I hope we make it to the show before our set starts. We get to play every day...

I've been living in this darkness Setting light to my own home I've been praying for some company But I want to be left alone I've been feeling lower lately But I'm still getting high Feeling pretty confident That I'm feeling shy I don't know how to say That I...

I'm 23, I kind of hope I live to see 24 I've realised I'm not invincible anymore and of that, I'm sure. I have been hiking up molehills and I'm feeling kind of tired so I'm coming down. I have been fussing over nothing but nothing makes me frown. I'll turn i...

Feeling estranged from myself today, More than usual anyway I won't lie, I'm a weird guy At the best of times I want to die Hurry up and wait for the ending And only then will I feel alive 

The innocent have shamrocks in his eyes, His blood is heritage, this Irish boy cannot hide. I'd beach to the rhythm of the strumming, of the valley bad's Joe. His blood was three colours: green, white and gold. At night these cobbled streets I roam. This...

Many is afraid of the unkown, I don't know what the night brings, when I'm alone. The lamp's on, it's always been that way, it's a way I hope that things will always stay. And I'm embarrased to say, that I'm still scared of the dark at my age. It's not the...

I invited you to to the show I didn't know it'd sell out though And guest list's full But if you left it until the day I've tried my best but there's no way to get you in And it blows but showtime is over And I'm sorry I'm drunk and you're sober You always g...

Give me a week and he'll float, you'll see Down a couple of drinks and roll up my sleeves Because I've scraped the rust from the buckets 'cause they're yearning for his blood That fucking cunt, he'll meet justice Revenge is sweet, more secure than trust...

Hold those tears Just tell me its over so I can get over you All my fears You say that you're sorry but you will be sorry soon I feel bad but I can tell by the height of your shoulders that you're glad All along I guess you were just another line in anot...

When we were young, Before our real lives began We may hide in the sun As ten miles pass Searching for the green in the grass We forgot how to love Just so you know I'm not quite ready, no, I'm not quite ready No, I'm not quite ready to give up yet...

I’ve been collecting music for so long, today I turned on my laptop and it’s all gone. I opened my iTunes and it’s bare, I can’t find the albums I downloaded anywhere. Karma payback for not paying for these tracks but I’d pay every penny just to have them...

Cries from the mouths of the dumb When the blind see the deaf hear the silence when we step on your lawn Knocking on the door shouting "Let's have some fun" Ivitation only We only catered for family and friends But you're staying up way past my bedtime...

(Hey) Time, time, ticking by The one thing we spend that we cannot buy As bells chime, I realise I've invested mine in a life I despise Tick, tock, watching the clock Alarm switched on, alarm switched off Pocket, kitchen, coo-coo, watch It's already...

What's all this I've been hearing about maturity Go to school, go to work, go to hell (routines?) bore the crap out of me We're only alive for a short amount of time, while you're planning your life i'll live mine Don't be scared of what's up there as long as...

In three years, they'll all have careers, And I can't deny my contempt. For all the people that I know, Who've all found somewhere else to go, A place of education that seems, the overtaking me But am I wasting all this precious time, Feeling alive whil...

If I tried, I just might Be able To cut down to a few a day. With every cig I light, I have every price to pay. I'll easily smoke two packs. Or maybe more if I'm bored Just to feel relaxed. I'm never gonna pack it in I know I'm addicted to the nico...

Scrub the plates, wash your hands in fantastic style Heads turn in awe of their tremendous well-being I'll wear a scar from the sticks and stones As I pull the trigger in the face of finger pointing ones Now who's scum? Landlord, bring all the tramps of...

I'm wasting today Just like I did yesterday And I'm frustrated The words won't come out of my mouth Nothing to write about And I'm tearing out this page Inspiration lost in thoughts I've got writer's block and I'm against the clock Hopefully, the melo...

For our reckless youth or the hearts that we stole Don't blame the strings on my guitar For the drunken fights at the Weatherspoons bar This is a product of public schools Staying up late, council estates and proving who's cool Mate, have you got that tenner...

I'm sitting opposite you On this table for two You reach for your glass And I reach for mine You're drinking water, I'm drinking wine I'm looking around the room Avoiding eye contact with you Where's the waiter? Where is this meal? My lips are moving...

This is your wake up call Your chance to change it all No hope that you change it You hear alarm bells sound It's time to turn it round I'm trying to save you You say that it's all you got When you know it's not Your fingers are crossed 4 leaf clover...

I've been working this steady job For a week long. With the nine to fivers Where I don't belong. It's a means to an end And it's not permanent. When the night comes I start my shift in entertainment. The clock strikes five And there's no doubt That...

I know my lyrics aren’t the best you’ve ever heard, But I say what I mean and I mean every fucking word. I’m sick of listening to narrow minded pricks bumming third rate bands, they’ve all got shit on their dicks. When you try to get posh the meaning gets...
