Grow A Beard, Kill A Bear, Be A Man 03:38
lyrics
Don't compete if you can't win, museum day Flirt with history and fade away Live on a bus and LSD It'll be great until the story ends, next to train tracks Who becomes further the bus The centre of the world the centre of us Burn for two years and then we're done We're left out rotting in the woods Far out! These magical years We'll burn our colours and face our fears Far out! This magical trip Time is the ultimate acid test Don't compete if you can't win Decision day Flirt with history or run away? What if we never make it work? Where will we rot and what will they say about us? Far out! These magical years We'll burn our colours and face our fears Far out! This magical trip Time is the ultimate acid test

Vincent Van Gettit 02:10
lyrics
Under the stars there’s hardly hope You’d cut off your right ear if it would stop you hearing no Grind sunflower seeds and shoot them up like dope Everyone loves a dead artist but not a bitter one Van Gogh was poor let that sink in Maybe you should have listened from the start It's all about the money you should have stayed away from art I don’t know how to make this understood These days even a famous artist is a starving one Van Gogh was poor let that sink in And if you didn't get paid did you do it at all? And if you didn't make did you make it at all? And if you didn't get rich was it worth it at all? Van Gogh was poor let that sink in

The Ballad of Hardcore Monopoly Man 02:36
lyrics
I drive around in a gold BMW It's not a rolls cos I don't have the revenue Who needs friends when money doesn't look at you funny Oh baby I'm as cold as ice I like, I like Money and Moët Because, because I'm so fancy... I watch as life passes me by through the windows of an old silver jaguar I wish it was a golden BMW but it is not I wish it was a golden rolls Royce but it is not I just don't have the money to drive that kind of car round, you know what I'm saying? I drink champagne, expensive champagne I consume expensive goods I must be the top consumer I live life like I'm on the inside of a magazine Like I’m trapped inside an advert for vodka It's cold inside the advert and I wish that I could feel something, Feel anything But I can’t And I’m lost. I meet a cute girl at work She tells me that she’s single But on the inside I see her slip a ring off her finger and into her back pocket She comes closer now and whispers that ‘It’s just one night…’ And god I wish I could believe that it was just one night And not a whole lifetime or entire love life ruined because of my Selfish desire And besides… I don’t even like her that much anyway… I JUST REALLY LIKE MONEY I drive around in a gold BMW It's not a rolls cos I don't have the revenue Who needs friends when money doesn't look at you funny Oh baby I'm as cold as ice I like, I like Money and Moët Because, because I'm so fancy I like, I like Money and Moët They said, they said, Stop taking pictures it’s not funny I like money (And Moet) I like money (And Moet) I like money (And Moet) I like money (And Moet) I like money and Moet I like money and Moet I like money and Moet And fucking other people’s wives is not funny.

Kick Ball Hell Yeah 03:22
lyrics
No I never won an award Not even for participation I was so bad at sports Everyone loves kick ball Hell yeah Just a white line in the grass A boundary for my difference like the name of my Dad I swear to God I don’t make the choice Preserving my emotion in a menagerie of noise A canvas laid out on the floor Connect and I don’t think at all I will push me further out the frame the gift is heaven sent I guess I’m scared I might run dry Stop channeling this holy force Man if I’ll never understand Some just never make a point Yeah I hate disposable ideas Money buys everything But that won’t help the feeling I have failed If no ones ever listening I will push me further out the frame the gift is heaven sent I sometimes pray to god that I was faking A simple paint by colour and a reference Or urinal frameless on the gallery floor We are running out of time before I make it I'm pinned to every hope that fate will save us But I'll tear out my heart Before we're falling apart for this

Milby Drive At Night 03:32
lyrics
Smaller than its ever been Milby Drive at night Somewhere on the outer rim Of everything we've ever know and what's left behind Rose tinted telescopes Guide our future steps The ambience of street lights Form rings around this silent planet Take me back to Every night a few summers ago Talk about all our dreams Now I don't even know what will happen to me anymore I can feel the weight of gravity Or a leaking engine part I don’t want to end up crashing Like I never moved a step from the start So all I do is hold and hope Because I have taken love to the end of the road And If the smoke clears and theres no one here I wasted life on a dream I had once Take me back to Every night a few summers ago Talk about all our dreams Now I don't even know what will happen to me anymore Take me back to Even just a single summer ago So sure about everything Now I don’t care what happens happens anyway All our features crawling off our faces One giant leap or a step into the dark Everything will tell you its unnatural But you carry on or you’ll stay on Milby Drive
