lyrics

I had a bad day and so did you
Exactly what should we resume?
Hard up, stressed out, scraping by
Not even got much to say

I like to watch life passing by
Its twists and turns, what’s left behind
Get old, regret everything
Can’t say I achieved my dreams

I’d like to welcome you to a life that follows no plan
A constant fight with reason and all of her friends
Prepare for mental torment and physical pain
What I would give to go back, would I do it again?

My eyes glued to the clock as my stomach cramps up and my heart-beat is jumping
There’s no stopping these thoughts as I’m biting my nails just to fill up these ashtrays
Stuck in a rut and I could get real used to this
‘Cos we gave up long ago, it rotted inside out

So, I’m back here again to deliver the sin of not learning from last time
This eternal flaw, a familiar tour of a life-time spent wondering
Sick of all remedies, this soul will not be soothed
I got down here to Hell OK, just can’t find my way back

I had a bad day and so did you
Exactly what should we resume?
Hard up, stressed out, scraping by
Not even got much to say

I’d like to welcome you to a life that follows no plan
A constant fight with reason and all of her friends
Prepare for mental torment and physical pain
What I would give to go back, would I do it again?

This band is PHENOMENAL, its another of those bands that within a week of discovering them I bought the entire discography. The only crit I have is they didnt include the words "solidarity forever" in the last track. crustydread
