SHIHAD LYRICS

1. Home Again

Put your clock back for the winter
She asks when I'll be home again?
If I could see those eyes
I know they'd cut me down to size
You're not here, when I need you

So sit and wait
And bend and break
You rise and fall
Just you, that's all
I'm here, you're there
It don't mean I don't care
I'm so sorry I was miles away
It's been a day of tiny triumphs
It's been a week spent in despair
You can't send it down a phone line
I do my best, but i'm not there

So sleep and wake
And dream up your fate
And rise and fall
Watch you grow tall
I'm here you're there
But you should know I still love you
When I am miles away

I'll be home again

2. Ghost From The Past

Met up with the ghost from the past
Who said...
I can't slow down, my minds moving too fast
And I don't like the things I'm thinking
I said brother, try to relax
It takes time for things to pass
He said fine and then he threw me out the door

Should of stayed
He was on the floor
So much pain
Could I have done more?
Saw a ghost from the past just the other day
His body still works but his soul flew away
Or sits somewhere inside behind locked doors
I said brother you should relax
You were better in times that past
He just smiled and looked straight through me

Ain't no way to get you back now...

3. Hate Boys

"What have we here then?
That girls got shorter hair than her boyfriend
What is it with the kids these days?"
And the way his head goes straight into his back
It almost gave me a heart attack
I could tell he was an animal

So lets hear it from the salt of the earth
I guess your narrow sight
Has seen you right since birth
C'mon, Raise your glass, Lets have some noise
Release your hate boys

Oh, work is over, it's time to cut loose
The nights alive, The nights alive
Time to pay your dues to your misplaced frustrations
Got a rant from a prat
Sitting there chewing his fat
He made it clear I wasn't his mate
Didn't concern me at all
The nights alive, The nights alive
The nights alive, Yeah right
I can't believe the bother your giving me

What have we here then
Some red-neck pissing his hard earned money
Down his throat
Just to let off some steam
built up from a hard weeks work
Like the weekend and the weekend before
With an excuse to shout out to the world
Just what a bigot he is

4. It's A Go

No time like the first time
Guess it's a go
Bite down
Before it all goes up in smoke
When you don't know
How it's gonna feel
When it finally hits all too real
There's no time like the first time
That's no Joke
Don't want to talk about it
No need to think about it
Just step up to the edge
Then move on

Because you get nowhere
With that caution flashing in your head
Toss and turn
It got you wrapped up safely in bed
If you don't know how its gonna feel
You got a life with truth that's concealed
Take a dive into the unknown
See who floats

5. La La Land

the night speeds though at its breakneck pace
gotta run to keep up, gotta keep on the case
and the people that you meet
well they're speeding too
i get up, i get in a cab
the driver says he loves his wife, she's in the slammer
he's got some advice 'cause i'm new here

we're in the land, We're in the land
the land of everything and nothing at all
Wait till it takes you by the hand
its got it all, but it's got no soul!
we're in the land, la la la land
the land of everything and nothing at all
i'm sorry, i do not understand
finally get to the place where i'm supposed to be
i met a girl and a girl met me
and she's lets me in on
just how to see the light here
she says her life was in disarray,
till she found these pills that took the pain away
wait a minute, something's not quite right

6. Attack

I look at you
You're a mystery
Sometimes you're just hell
All the same
It's no news to me
And we all fall down so typically
Intact

Attack
Me, like it's all that matters
Attack
And enclose me in your arms
What's that you said?
Oh, I'm history
Yeah, well I'm taking that as well
All the same
Only bruises me
And I get up with everything
Still intact
Our love
It's a battle
And it's worth fighting for

7. Pig Bop

Ain't ashamed to cry
Sometimes it feels just good enough
To feel something
Ain't afraid to try
Well I fail as good as anybody else
Lost interest in politics
When they talk it bores me to the brain
So this is modern living?
The more the choice
The more things stay the same

But, when it comes to you
I must admit I'm at a lost
I'm so confused
And when it comes to you
I don't know how you do what you do
But I like it
Offer up the fantastic
I'm sick from all this plastic glamour
Become a social spastic
No need to walk through your front door no more
Market youth their uniform
If it's so wicked why don't you wear it too
I'm a mass media casualty
From taking advice
from people that don't have a clue

Sometimes it feels just good enough
to feel something
You make me feel good enough to scream

8. Leo Song

You are so majestic, so skillful
in the way that you make me sick
You are the perfect one
the only one for you

And now even though that it's true
still see a lot of myself in you
and now even though that it's true
it's only 'cause i'm a leo

it's so oh oh overly strange
i'm a rebel in my brain
but i'm just a midget
when it comes to being saved
beware little girl
your oh so cool clubs
could be passing judgement on you
you're so exclusive
so elusive
that you're not quite human

and now even though that is true
what else could a lost girl do
and now even though that is true
it's probably 'cause you're a leo

thank you so much for the conversation
i guess i'll be leaving now
thank you for the words of inspiration
i guess i'll be going

9. A Day Away

So the world is waiting
As you headed on out the door
Just to trip you up and spit you out
Well I can tell just what your thinking
I'll be there to catch you, falling out your tree tonight

Relax your mind, let it slowly float away tonight
Forget about the day

The world sits on your shoulders
Looks like an ugly weight to bear
Almost lost you underneath there
Well I can tell just what you're feeling
You should let it go 'cause we can start again tonight

Relax your mind, let it slowly float away tonight
Forget about it, it's a day away

10. Yr Head Is A Rock

Worked so hard to get your credentials
So young, so hip, so experimental
But you'll play the game in the end
So young, so hip, so perfectly able
You got a major talent
For making foolish things seem perfectly balanced
You've got the right idea
The worlds full of suckers
So won't you come along...

Your head is a rock
and it's doing in mine
If there's somebody in there
Just leave me a sign?
No, no, your head is a rock
So young, so hip, so experimental
Worked so hard to get influential
But you'll play the game in the end
you just the same
and the time keeps on ticking'
you've developed a habit
for making foolish things
seem perfectly balanced
and you don't even know yourself
you the fool!

Behind that perfect smile
the hunger won't subside
The jaw stays open wide
Don't play me,
your not so young, so hip

We shall not cop out

11. Missionary

If you come knocking on my door
I'll make sure that i'm not there
It's no fun being alone but don't you phone
I'm running...

'Cause i know and i'll always remember
what you said

Got woken by a missionary
Who'd come to deliver a message of peace
I told her peace was what I had
Until I was woken by a missionary

But if you go
I promise i will remember what you said

12. Outta Phase

Who got the buzzer
Who got the bell
You gonna false start
Who gonna tell
Got no possessions
Got no car
Just close my eyes
Gone too far

I don't care when my heads outta phase
I'm prepared to feel just great
I don't care for getting stuck
With a life of wasted time
You got my number
I'm on your list
Do me a favour
Stick to the wrist
Don't like that nose job
Don't like her hair
You heard the latest?
Who really cares

I don't care if my head's outta phase
I'm prepared to feel just great
I don't care for getting stuck
With a life of wasted time
I prefer walking out of line

The latest offer
You got the time
Why do you bother?
A movement sideways
It's all it takes
Stand back

13. Boat Song

All of us, connected
All of us on the same road home
And if one should fall or falter
Then we all reach down together as one
And we lift them up again

Only our world
Could we find some meaning
So we created our own
Still here today
I had a dream, I was lost at sea
All of you
Afloat on the same boat home
Please throw me a line
I think I'm drowning
So you all lent over
to pick me up
and we spent the rest of the night swimming

Nobody's falling apart
Don't need to know what your thinking
Kissed the world goodbye
And then we ran away
