I DON'T BELIEVE IN EGYPT by Joel Sprigg
Egypt is fake, it's not my mistake.
And the letter 'H', it seems so out of place, I say...
I don't believe, it's not real to me.
And cotton from trees just happens to be,
such a lie but I have no reason why.
It's just a theory, it's just a story,
it's fiction to me, yeah.
It's not like, I've got nothing better to do.
I just don't believe in you.
And I'm not searching for truth, I don't believe in you.
So Egypt is out, what else do I doubt?
How 'bout a little false hope like it's all gonna work out.
Did we land on the moon? If not can we soon.
I don't believe it's a fact that a colour's not black.
They say it's a shade, that's just a lie someone made.
It's not real to me, it's non-fiction-ly,
fiction to me. Yeah.
It's not like, I've got nothing better to do.
I just don't believe in you.
And I'm not searching for truth,
I don't believe in you.

YOU'LL SEE ME WALK IN by Joel Sprigg
I think you know me from the time we went dancing.
I had some moves and catchy lines, and smelt amazing.
I think you know me, I think you know me.
So if you want me tell me why, there's no harm trying.

I think you want me time to time, I'm just saying.
I see there's something in your eyes, attention paying.

I'm looking good right by your side.

THEN I SAY by Joel Sprigg
I can't see it change, it's blue and cold,
and starting to get old.
I keep breathing in your secrets.
It falls behind and stays, but it's trying to get out.
I keep falling for your kisses, then I say...
I can feel it breathing down my neck, 'cos I'm not safe yet.
And I keep telling all my secrets.
It falls inside and stays, but it's trying to get out.
I keep falling for your kisses, then I say...

INEBRIATED by Joel Sprigg
I
wasn't breathing air, I was half way dead, I wasn't facing it.
Messed up most the night, I hope I'll be alright, I get too much
of it.
I'm not decent, I'm not.
Moving forward, backwards step. Inebriated. Inebriated.
Crawling on my knees again. Inebriated. Inebriated.
I'm not decent, I'm the Gentleman again...
Inebriated
Again.
Passed out without you there, a curb and streetlight stared, I wasn't
feeling it.
I know I'll be alright, I'm sober 9 to 5, I need some more of this.
I'm not decent, I'm not.
Moving forward, backwards step. Inebriated. Inebriated.
Crawling on my knees again. Inebriated. Inebriated.
I'm not decent, I'm the Gentleman again...
Inebriated
Again.
Falling asleep again. Don't know where I've been.
I can't feel my back aching. I've made a mess of things.
I'm not decent, I'm not.

FTM by Joel Sprigg
He reads his comic book. He wishes he were more like you
For nothing at all, he gets down on his knees. I tried 'till they
called it off like you.
Never slept in this quiet town, but it's where I met you.
No collection lets you down, I never lied to you.
It's such a waste of time, 'cos I'm still by myself, Don't look I'm
cut and bruised.
What hurt me passed you by, I sweated out my best. Next time wont be
so nice.
Four told me.

TIED UP by Joel Sprigg
Is it too much now, have you changed your mind? Look at all that has
come and that had gone.
Do you see where you went wrong, do you know how mud got smeared on
your face?
You sneak up so close, and its all smells fine, and it looks like like
the picture in your mind.
But you walked away, yeah you walked away, it builds up but it never
leaves you.
You should have grabbed it, tried to snatch it, hang it to dry it and
take it home.
It takes too long, to find my answers, intimidate masters like you.
Something's wrong, I can't see answers, and I'm all tied up too.
Its a change of who decides, yeah infertility in the air, admiration.
Two wrongs don't make a right, so forget last night, blame it all on
depression.
But it'll never leave you alone no it wont, it wont, obstruction your
breathing.
And you'll choke on a bone, as your being stoned, it builds up and
never leaves you.
You should have grabbed it, tried to snatch it, hang it to dry it and
take it home.
It takes too long, to find my answers, intimidate masters like you.
Something's wrong, I can't see answers, and I'm all tied up too.
Too long, to find my answers, intimidate masters like you.
Something's wrong, I can't see answers, and I'm all tied up too.
You should have grabbed it, tried to snatch it, but you can't forget
it. You didn't take it.
You shouldn't let it, leave you feel jaded, hang it to dry it and take
it home.

ANOTHER BAD IDEA FROM ME by Joel Sprigg
I said I wish you could be here, I guess I don't know.
I say I never thought of you that way, but last night you looked
so good, so good.
You were only meant to be my friend, I guess I don't care.
I'm not saying I want that to end, I guess I just like you another
way,
What's in my way?
Fixing what's not broken, I suppose the words I've spoken,
others told me Bad Idea!
Fixing what's not broken, I suppose the words I've spoken,
others told me Bad Idea!
I spent all my time with you on my mind, I sat and drank some beer.
I guess I don't know, I guess I don't know. Why should I know? Why should I know!

DOWN by Joel Sprigg
It's time to leave. 'Cos it's up to me, to save the world.
Swallow my life, in return of a sacrifice. It's hard to breathe.
But I don't want to let you go,
I don't want to let you go,
and now we're all going down, for you.
It's up to me, but so hard to choose. They put it to me...
Destroy the world, or give up the girl, who completes me.
No I don't want to let you go,
I don't want to let you go,
and now we're all going down, for you.
I don't want to let you go,
I don't want to let you go,
and now we're all going down, for you.
Because of me.
So I decide, I'm so in love with you that... they wont forgive me.
We'll stay and fight, when aliens come down through the night.
If they want you, then the whole world's going too.

SWEET AND COLD by Joel Sprigg
She was waiting as the room filled with light.
A book of paper tore
out tears from her eyes.
You were the reason for life, she's still waiting for you to come
inside.
You're sweet and cold, so rest your head.
The single burn you take away, is all she'll give to you.
She was drowning as the room swallowed life.
A book of poems that she
wrote in the night.
You were the reason for love, she's still waiting for you to say
goodbye.
You're sweet and cold, so rest your head.
The single burn you take away, is all she'll give to you.
She's
still waiting for you to say goodbye.
You're sweet and cold, tucked in your bed, just rest your head.
The single burn you take away, is all she'll give. That's all.

ME AND YOU by Joel Sprigg
I just woke up, a thought popped up again,
that maybe I, really want to be with you.
I wont deny, when I look into your eyes,
my heart skips a beat, I lose track of my feet.
Girl I think I’m in love with you. And I want to hold you.
And I want to shout it out, that I dreamt about, a life of me and you.
Could it be, this thought wont leave,
and when I see you now, I show you how I feel.
I’d be surprised, if in your eyes we were only friends,
and that’s the way it ends.

WONDERFUL COLOURS by Joel Sprigg
I'll wait a while, you may as well speak.
The wonderful colours, when you are asleep.
Out of the unknown, and back in again,
I try not to read subtitles in pen.
I'll wait a while, Your fridge is insightful,
I'm choking on bile.
No not this again, we had it last week,
I swallow the water, it came from a cow.
Lactose in my bladder, I fall down,
The wonderful colours when you make no sound.
The wonderful colours when you're not around.

INK by Joel Sprigg
It came in packs of 50, you said it, you said it.
And then you gypped the gypsy, 'cos she read it, she read it.
Your fate is lost around you, but you made it, you made it.
The only thing you want, he wont let go, he wont let go.
There's something that's still misty, you see it, you see it.
You cry when things get messy, she read it, your face told it.
Here is the very moment, that you dreaded, that you dreaded.
The only thing you want, he wont let go, he wont let go.
The ink turns into led, I changed my mind again,
and was it something that I said?
The ink turns into led, I changed my mind again,
or was it something that I did?

ALMOST by Joel Sprigg
Its almost over, my hand's shaking. Too much for me. It suddenly
occurred to me.
Felt you come over, I fell for you. Not much but something, nothing
else to do.
It's almost closure, my head's confused. Too much for me. Suddenly a
blur to me.
And you come over, I fell for you. Not much but something, nothing
else to do.
Felt bad all over, I wanted you. I wanted something you could never
do.
Fixed to be, nothing else. Nothing more, nothing else.
It's almost over, for you. Too much for me. It suddenly occurred to me.
Felt you come over, I fell for you. Not much but something, nothing
else to do.

do.
Fixed to be, nothing else, nothing more, nothing else.
Fixed to be, nothing else, nothing more, nothing else.
