PURSEONABLE GUY I'm a man Yeah he’s a man Yes he's a fuckin man And I wear my tool belt when I’m building After dark Down at the park? Nah down the fuckin pub I keep all my shit in my pockets Fashion faux pas so unkind Brings out the colour in my eyes I am a purseonable guy I like to accessorise Not quite sure why you criticise cause I am a personable guy I’m a bloke Yeah he’s a bloke Yeah he’s a fucking bloke And the purse on my arm isn't a joke I tried it An experiment A huge fuck off success And now my life's filled with convenience At first you tease but soon you'll find You handing me keys to mind

INNER WEST SIDE STORY Our planets slowly burning The wheels of war keep turning Hierarchy is all filled with greed No help goes to all those in need Leaders procrastinating Who can we put our faith in? Disenchanted society I think it's time for is to flee We all can recognise That the end is nigh Grab the Sultans table, crispy soy We'll watch while the world's destroyed Drinking beers reminiscing with friends This is how our inner west side story ends Trans bashings at the townie sly fox is charging entry The Annandale has gone to shit The city sent all their fuckwits Pho 88 has closed down Where can we get good pho now? They upped the rent she couldn’t pay best food in town taken away We all can recognise That the end is nigh Never let our inner west side story end
3.
SELL YOUR SOUL I heard you say You'd sell your soul For us to not live Live like this anymore. From day to day In others hands We could get paid And build some plans And we all deserve to feel secure While we try to live our lives to the full. And tonight you'll wish upon the stars Gotta tell you it just breaks my heart And so we'll play Some songs tonight For smiles and coins From passers by We'll celebrate What we got A setting sun And each other And we all deserve to feel secure While we try to live our lives to the full. And tonight you'll wish upon the stars Gotta tell you it breaks my heart Seems like our days are all stuck on repeat Like synchronised watches won't miss a beat So we'll take, our change away Get us by for another day I heard you say You'd sell your soul For us to not live Live like this anymore But I'd say wait no need to change Let's just scrape by It's just our way And we all deserve to feel secure While we try to live our lives to the full. And tonight you'll wish upon the stars Gotta tell you it breaks my heart Seems like our days are all stuck on repeat Like synchronised watches won't miss a beat So we'll take, our change away Get us by for another day And so I'd say Don't sell your soul I don't want you You to change at all.

Life is Good 02:32
Life’s good, my fuckin’ life’s good,
5.
END OF THE LINE Well I never caught the bus to the end of the line Well I was bright eyed I had to decide Where I would reside In a new share home Was moving closer to action Alternative attractions Then all of a sudden Seems I had forgotten A whole bunch of postcodes Well I never caught the bus to the end of the line I've only wandered past my street one time I can't even name three train stops past mine I admit I've been living suburbly blind
6.
Multiball 02:16
MULTIBALL Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck in multiball Juggling a thousand things banging my head against the wall Every time I slam tilt they all head down the outlanes Or I'm penalised and can't move my locked flippers again Multiball I've got to suck it up, pull that plunger another time That jackpot keeps calling yeah a high score's on my mind But now I've made yet another mistake it's a state of disarray Guess I'll just cross my fingers for a lucky number replay
7.
Beeru Girl 00:21
BEERU GIRL Beeru girl won’t you be my beeru girl? All you’ve got to do is give me some beeru to be my beeru girl.
8.
Oscillating 03:49
OSCILLATING I'm feeling so stuck Got A decision to make Is it time to move on? Yea should I move away? I'm getting so tired here I feel like I'm burning out Should I make a new start? Or should I sit back down? They say the devil you know Is better than the one you don't But what if you have just outgrown This place despite love you’ve been shown Like a fan I'm oscillating Lately I've been changing my mind Moving back and forth between two thoughts for the whole night I feel like Houdini Shackled and underwater Will I make an escape? Or will the magic falter I can't lie to myself There's so much tying me here Is it a simple Windsor knot? Or something far more severe? Trembling voice It's so difficult to say don't want to desert you But there's a chance I must take
9.
The Ginge 03:53
THE GINGE I never met a man With a bigger grin I never met a man With a sense of humour like his I never met a bigger fan Of punk rock than him And you'll never meet a man quite Like the Ginge While you shouldn't be defined By a haircut or natural design He had a unique style That couldn't be forgotten if we tried He'd never let a party die Just Wanna keep it, going on all night He'd never want to say goodbye And it hurts we didn't say it one last time Don't say goodbye Just say good times Don't say goodbye Just say good times Well You have gone away Live on in our memory Don't say goodbye Just say good times Your living on in good times Tattoos on arms to remind us Let's cheers Ted Danson tonight
