One Chord Too Many
We don't need a new one
The first chord
Has everything we need
There’s one chord too many
We could afford to lose one
The first chord has
Everything we need
We’d like to keep it simple
But we long
To take you somewhere else
It’s greed
There’s one voice too many
We don’t need a new one
The first voice says everything we need
There’s one chord too many
We could afford to lose one
The first chord
Has everything we need
We’d like to keep it simple
But we long
To take it somewhere else
It’s greed
We’d like to keep it simple
But we long
To take you somewhere else
You see
You struck a chord in my heart
With the one at the very start

Bingo level humour
Nobody laughs at my jokes
I could clear a room
Quicker than most older folk
Am I funny, am I funny little boy?
Oh no
Am I funny, am I funny little boy?
Oh no
Do you indulge me?
Do you indulge me?
Do you indulge me?
No
Bingo level humour
Venues are clearing out quick
I need some responses
To help know what make you tic
(tic toc tic toc tic toc)
Am I funny, am I funny little boy?
Oh no
Am I funny, am I funny little boy?
Oh no
Do you indulge me?
Do you indulge me?
Do you indulge me?
No.

Can't Complain
01:58
|
|

We can’t complain
Even when it’s raining
We can’t complain
When it’s cold outside
Can’t complain
'Cause I’ve got a couple of friends
To take things off my mind
We can’t complain
'Cause we have each other
We can’t complain
And you’re pretty nice
Can’t complain
'Cause there are others
With a whole lot less
We can’t complain
I don’t feel like we’d deserve it
Can’t complain
Getting up in the morning
We can’t complain
When it’s really dark
Can’t complain
At least I’ve got a reason
To get out of bed
We can't complain
That’s a lot more
Than what others have
We can't complain
Can't complain
Can’t complain
When I’m feeling lonely
Can’t complain
Cause I’ll call you up
Can’t complain
I really can’t complain
We can't complain

To Sing
02:54
|
|
||
To sing, to sing
There's nothing much more
That I would prefer
Than strumming a chord
And sitting on the floor
A chance for me to express myself
I could float upstream
Might need some help
I’d call for you
To say much more
Than can be read
A melody get’s in your head
So sing a song
And make it true
And fill with words
That are as funny
As they are blue
To say much more
Than can be read
A melody get’s in your head
It’ll keep you up
When you go to bed
You’ll think about the words
And what they meant

Get To The End
04:50
|
|
||
Something’s different
For how long
You’ve gotten a new sweater
Acting strange
Nearly gone
You’ve been hiding for days
When you get to the end
With them
Maybe we can be friends again
When you get to the end
With them
Maybe we could make sense of it
No responses
Anymore
Not sure what happened there
Here I am
At your door
You’ve set off for good
When you get to the end
With them
Maybe we can be friends again
When you get to the end
With them
Maybe we could make sense of it

2 Young 2 Forget
02:37
|
|
||
You’d take so long
To forget about
Too long to forget
And I’d find it hard
To talk about
When they ask why you left
Cause I’m
Too young to forget
Too in love to forget
About you
It’s been so fun
To have you round
Love the time that we’ve spent
The weary days
From staying up all night
The best memories yet
I’m
Too young to forget
Too in love to forget
Too young to forget
Too in love to forget
About you
Too dumb to forget
Too in love to forget
Too young to forget
Too in love to forget
About you

Pop Stars
03:04
|
|

We’d get photographed
With cigarettes
Even though we hate
The taste of them
Because we’re gonna go far
We’re going to be pop stars
We’ve never been good
With the alphabet
We can do without
Most of it
But we can play guitars
And we’re going to be pop stars
It can be hard
To take
When people don’t like your music
And your dreams don’t come true
It can be hard
To take
When people don’t like your music
But there’s nothing else
That you can do
And you’ve really got to
See it through
We won’t get there
Out of sheer luck
We’re sick of all the bands
Who don’t give a fuck
We’re really working hard
To make it as pop stars
We just want to play guitars
Someday we'll all be pop stars
But we haven't gotten far

Saddest Synth
02:29
|
|
||
Here’s the one about
The saddest synth
The saddest synth
That ever lived
He made a noise
That would chill your core
And freeze your joy
Forever more
He’d be walking
Down the street
Dogs would bark
And traffic beep
But if he came
Close to me
I’d open my arms
And I’d let him be
He could only play
Minor chords
But we hope that you’ll
Adore him still
Because a sad synth
Still needs love
And so do sad guitars
He cut the sides of hair
Off his head
He was just trying to fit in
with them
Because a sad synth
Still needs friends
They get you through
Until the end
I introduced him
To my friends
They requested
That he play Split Enz

Outside Of Ourselves
04:00
|
|
||
I’d like to be
Entirely different from myself
It’s not just me
I know that others feel this way
Introspection is our way
If only we could see from
Outside of ourselves
I’d like to see
The world through
Someone else’s eyes
I’d look at me
I wonder how different
I’d appear
Another’s perspective
Would make it clear
Who I really am
If only we could see from
Outside of ourselves
Selfish ways
What have we done
What did we say?
No one else is thinking about
What we’ve said
I’d like to be
Comfortable with myself
It’s not to be (it’s not for me)
I know that others feel this way
Cause introspection is the way
That we view the world
If only we could see from
Outside of ourselves
