The Ordinary Boys - Brassbound (2006) by The Ordinary Boys (보컬) on maniadb.com

Waiting for the right words to say,
but I won't find them anyway,
to let you know my true intentions.
Woah woah wo.
You must know what you state is wrong,
you let it carry on and on.
It's too late to talk about prevention.
Too brassbound to talk about it.
'cos you dont care,
when i'm all ears you're not going anywhere.
Moderate to satisfy your mood,
you're wrapped up on being rude,
you only come here for the action,
woah woah wo.
Fist held high above the crowd,
hold it firm and hold it proud.
You've found your human interaction.
Too brassbound to talk about it,
cos you don't care,
when I'm all ears, you're not going anywhere.
Think for a minute, maybe a minute or two.
And if you're heart is still in it,
then it will hit you.

Think for a minute, maybe a minute or two.
And if you're heart is still in it,
then it will hit you.
Too brassbound to talk about it,
cos you dont care,
when I'm all ears you're not going anywhere.
And I'm all ears you're not going anywhere.
And I'm all ears you're not going anywhere.
Think for a minute, maybe a minute or two.
Think for a minute, maybe a minute or two.

I've had nights i will never forget
I've had nights i will always regret
but i can take it on the chin,
and say "Boys Will Be Boys"

There's been girls that have stolen our hearts,
but the others said they couldn't be prised apart
whoever let's us in they say "Boys Will Be Boys"

Well it's under my skin so i can never win,
so thanks a lot
we cheat and we lie and we fight
we don't cry while we try

I felt driven and i felt obliged,
I've had feelings like a thorn in my side,
I hope you never let this down now,
"Boys Will Be Boys"

But if i saw her i could hardly restrain
every worked girl to labour with pain,
chin up, chin up,now
"Boys Will Be Boys"

And mi say,
you better move out the way
we comfortin' the people them rockin' and swayin'
when serious, I never ever play,
Boys will be Boys and there's nuttin' you can say
Spread the word i cross the land
cross wit me people understand
wish i had a magic wand
so make people unite nicely as one,
this goes out to all mi gals and e'one,
Boys will be Boys we'll surviv till the end,
whooaaaa....

Well it's under my skin so i can never win,
oh thanks a lot
we cheat and we lie and we fight
we don't cry while we try

Well it is our birth right to be discontented
Don't tell us that the world is lemon scented
You say you had it much harder
Tell me exactly how
No it doesn't have to be so complicated
Now every little thing has become outdated
Now we don't have to leave our chair
To go anywhere

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

We just don't need this weighty pressure
Surely you must think its for the better
But listen kids whatever it is
I'm sure its no big deal

Let's try to look from a wider angle
Please let's not fly off the handle
I know I can assure you that
We have it hard enough

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

Life will be the death of me
Sitting in between four walls
Life will be the death of me
There's no reason to leave at all

Oh oh oh oh
Life will be the death of me

In at the deep end again my friend
You'll get water up your nose again
But is it harder to swim clasped hand in hand?
Is it harder to stand for a man oh man
In at the deep end again my friend
Still feeling sore from your dirty weekend
Has it been so long since we did nothing?
We do it so well oh off the cuff and ...
Thanks to the girl
No really, thanks!
You stole our boy
And spat him back

Is that what you're hoping for?
A kitchenette on the 11th floor
I don't mind
You're not around and I'm doing fine
Yeah, I'm alright
You said we'd be tight til the bitter end
Yeah girls come and go, but what about friends?

It's good fun staying at a well groomed house
... spending cash in hand (?)
Not hard to scare a gang of one
Are you showing off toy yourself again?
In at the deep end again my friend
Still feeling sore from your dirty weekend
Girls can get whatever they want
And the girl wants you

Thanks to the girl
No really, thanks!
You stole our boy
And spat him back

While we float on this mortal sea
We wear our colours so heroically
Were only living on G and T
Everyone else is just a refugee
Ah I wake up, I'll take up
It's about time for a shake up
When pride is blind you know
We're only stuck in second gear
So wrap up, never give up
It's about time to deliver
Without the man who drives you ... (?)
You know I'm staying in

Were on an island in the sea
Were on and island we never leave
Were on an island in the sea
Were on and island we never leave

Well we feel subsequent resent
And overseas we like to represent
Cause nothing but embarrassment
We had nothing but our good intent

Ah I wake up, I'll take up
It's about time for a shake up
I'm talking loud, that doesn't mean
You can't be understood
So wrap up, never give up
It's about time to deliver
I think it's about time
We got to meet the neighborhood

Were on an island in the sea
Were on and island we never leave
Were on an island in the sea
Were on and island we never leave

Were on an island in the sea
Were on and island we never leave
Were on an island in the sea
Were on and island we never leave

Your slouch in smoky corners of this town
… Follow you around
You drop jokes like they're dragging you down

You cling onto a vintage way of life
Don't accept that it should be left behind
Pitiful puns like a constant rewind

…
Just pointing out what isn't there

Ah one step forward, two steps back
Punch lines like a heart attack
Your tolerance will never crack
So its one step forward, two steps back

It's odd what people will laugh at sometimes
If they feel that it's rude to draw the line
When they feel that they have to incline

But the underlying hatred stuck inside
…
You drop jokes and we kick them aside

…
Just pointing out what isn't there

Ah one step forward, two steps back
Punch lines like a heart attack
Your tolerance will never crack
So its one step forward, two steps back

…
Just pointing out what isn't there

Ah one step forward, two steps back
Punch lines like a heart attack
Your tolerance will never crack
So its one step forward…

Ah one step forward, two steps back
Punch lines like a heart attack
Your tolerance will never crack
So its one step forward, two steps back

Invent some stories that start to …
Well how else are we going to fill our days?
Conspiracies that cut so close and skin
Lets start a club and don't let anyone in

The free masons…
With the devil to pay
They'll get you one day
The skull and bones are breaking our homes
Well somehow I don't think so

I'm not suggesting the world is all fair
The back scratching and the greed is still there
I won't insinuate that it's not a crime
(The whacky feelings are a waste of time)?

The free masons…
With the devil to pay
They'll get you one day
The skull and bones are breaking our homes
Well somehow I don't think so

Well there's plenty more important things to fret about
Like how are we supposed to sort this whole mess out?
Ah you've got a lot of money and you're so well schooled
So why'd you want to waste it on this cock and bull?

The space invaders are hot on your heels
Busy producing pretty patterns and …
Well they're still chasing the man on the moon
Well don't think 'cos you think too soon

The free masons…
With the devil to pay
They'll get you one day
The skull and bones are breaking our homes
Well somehow I don't think so

The free masons…
With the devil to pay
They'll get you one day
The skull and bones are breaking our homes
Well somehow I don't think so

Somehow I don't think so

Eat Drink and be miserable
While it's a miracle that we're still here at all
As we sink another belly-full
Another cherryfalls bouncin' off the wall
If we live in the dead of night
Then it's a constant fight to be a social lad (?)
Back tides through darkened rooms
With a look of gloom we'll never leave too soon
We're so scared of finding out
What scares us and we're growing up
And knowing what it means
To be bursting at the seams
Souled up and fueled up to our ears
To leave our fears behind
We all know that that just cannot last
Don't live too fast...

Smoke, joke and be unrestrained
And when the sun comes up we're gonna feel your pain
As we piss it all down the drain
For another week of a tired campaign
We're so interchangable
When you've seen one well you've seen us all
But that is just the way we like to be
In trouble but trouble-free

We're so scared of finding out
What scares us and we're growing up
And knowing what it means
To be bursting at the seams
Souled up and fueled up to our ears
To leave our fears behind
We all know that that just cannot last
Don't live too fast...

Uh-uh ohhh

We're so scared of finding out
What scares us and we're growing up
Much too fast to catch up with ourselves
(So we get)
Souled up and fueled up to our ears
To leave our fears behind
We all know that that just cannot last
Don't live too fast...

When it's sunny it rains and when it rains, it pours
I can't remember what I came here for
But when I see the look that's in your eyes
I found my tongue and it's life-on-line
We're all so sex-obssessed but we're so straight and clean
I just wanna stay in and watch TV
Watching people do what I'm too scared to try
I steal the lines with life-on-line

And it's my secret life in the bus lane
It's much easier just to complain
Making life much harder than it has to be

I've been working overtime
I've been busy telling lies
A few home truths never break the ice
Don't you trust me?

When I get stinned my dear your time will come
I'll be the best boy to ever treat you wrong
I'll give you reels and reels, how I'm confused and flawed
But baby baby I just got bored
And I'll unload my soul, my fear is tright and true
You hang on words I only wish I knew
We'll fill our minds with bitter ready-made
Just trying to rattle someone else's cage

And it's my secret life in the bus lane
It's much easier just to complain
Making life much harder than it has to be

I've been working overtime
I've been busy telling lies
A few home truths never break the ice
Don't you trust me?

I've been working overtime
I've been busy telling lies
A few home truths never break the ice
Don't you trust me?

I've got a plan and it's going well
I might go to top, you can never tell
A few home truths send me straight to Hell
Don't you trust me?

You like to buy and buy the best
It's not been that long since you were penniless
So you flaunt your success
You spend on yourself and you spend with finesse
And the ones who felt your wrath
Need constant reminders you're not going back
You invest in the profane
Your license plate reads like a mundane campaign
You collect and attain
The porcelain figures are rare and hand made
But those who are in your way
Can't rest assured they could be you one day

Just throw it all away
Review your fate and seize the day
You'll throw it all away
It never mattered anyway
This red letter day
Is bigger than you'll ever be
So throw it all away
Seize the day

You let us know you made the grade
All your Italian suits are tailormade
You obsess on the world pay (?)
One of these days deeper needs will invade
We throw it all away
The flames they can bite as you live for the day

Just throw it all away
Review your fate and seize the day
You'll throw it all away
It never mattered anyway
This red letter day
Is bigger than you'll ever be
So throw it all away
Seize the day
