"Ticket Outta Loserville"

When I go to sleep I pray
I'm waking up to I got you babe
Like the guy from Groundhog Day
Just wanna live forever this way
Flash back to seventeen
Got my ass kicked by the football team
Another Loser on the scene
Editor of the chess club fanzine

I asked you out for losing truth or dare
The guys were cracking up 'til you said yeah

Pinch me, is this real?
I'm on a one way ticket out of loserville
Now I'm off the social flat line
Things are so good that I'm
Taking down my star trek shrine
And you're more than just my valentine
You're my ticket outta loserville

She gives me butterflies
Says I'm not like all the other guys
Doesn't care what car I drive
She still enjoys the ride

When I got to sleep I know
That you'll be there tomorrow
And it gives me vertigo
It was just a week ago that

I asked you out for losing truth or dare
The guys were cracking up 'til you said yeah

Pinch me, is this real?
I'm on a one way ticket out of loserville
Now I'm off the social flat line
Things are so good that I'm
Taking down my star-trek shrine

You blew me out on a Sunday night
You were bored to tears pretending
Knew what you wanted and I'm nothing like the
guy in your happy ending

Well you were wrong to lead me on
Now in the night I wake up screaming
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Where's Scotty when you need him?

Pinch me, is this real?
I'm on a one way ticket back to loserville
Heading for the social flat line
Things are so that bad
I'm dusting off my star trek shrine

This is where it ends and I can taste the glory
How can I depend
On a better story?
Made it, blew it, couldn't save it
Think about her all the time
It's like I never had her valentine
So I guess I better kiss goodbye to my ticket outta loserville

"Eddie's Song"

Eddie kick started his career
One Summertime in May
A shitty band with friends from school
But only he could really play
The moment that he took the stage
The fans were blown away
I always knew that he'd go far
I'm glad I lived to see the day

Eddie's got twenty-seven kids but he
Doesn't know
Shames he'll never be around to
See them grow
Said he had a different girl
After every show
But he's always way too gone
To remember though
So Eddie doesn't know

At 3a.m, it's getting late
The after party's closed
But everybody follows Eddie
They just won't leave him alone
Calls seven girls to his hotel room
Takes off all their clothes
Some people say he had it easy
But that is just the way it goes

Eddie's got twenty-seven kids but he
Doesn't know
Shames he'll never be around to
See them grow
Said he had a different girl
After every show
But he's always way too gone
To remember though
So Eddie doesn't know

He's in deep and there's a reason
He's all alone and he can't change
Like the season's
They come and they go

To all the kids who don't look
Like your Mum and Dad
Don't freak out, don't you let
It make you mad
As long as they both love you then
You should be glad
Just think about the little problem
Eddie had

Eddie's got twenty-seven kids but he
Doesn't know
Shames he'll never be around to
See them grow
Said he had a different girl
After every show
But he's always way too gone
To remember though
So Eddie doesn't know

Eddie's got twenty-seven kids but he
Doesn't know
Shames he'll never be around to
See them grow
Said he had a different girl
After every show
But he's always way too gone
To remember though
So Eddie doesn't know

"Little Things"

It's summer, everybody's out
And you're right over there
I'm staring while you play around
With that pencil in your hair

It's sad
In your eyes
I'm just one of the guys
I'm so into you
You don't have a clue
There's nothing you can do to stop me now

You got me falling
Through noticing the little things you do
Putting a hold right over me
Funny as it seems
You make me dream
Doing the little things, those little things you do

I saved up for binoculars
I bought them last weekend
To watch you playing badminton
With all your slutty friends
Maybe it's time I gave up, drew the line
My friends say i should
I wish that I could
But there's nothing they can do to stop me now

You got me falling
Through noticing the little things you do
Putting a hold right over me
Funny as it seems
You make me dream
Doing the little things, those little things you do

I call up your house
But I'm always outta luck
Keep hanging around
But that's never good enough
And you don't reply when i talk to you
I shout at you
But you don't even blink an eye
It makes me wonder why

You got me falling
Through noticing the little things you do
Putting a hold right over me
Funny as it seems
You make me dream
Doing the little things, those little things you do

You got me falling
Through noticing the little things you do
Putting a hold right over me
Funny as it seems
You make me dream
Doing the little things, those little things you do

Doing the little things, those little you do, do, do [x3]

"Party's Over"

Party's over
I just watched my girlfriend get laid on the sofa
Does that seem weird to you?
The guy was older
Heard someone say he got her clothes off playing poker
When I wasn't in the room
Can I assume this spells the end for me and you?

Morning after
I go outside and the garden's a disaster
The kitchen table's in the pool
The sound of laughter
Echoes on inside my mind, holes in the plaster
And I feel like such a tool
And so abused, don't think I've ever felt this used

And goodbye
Feels so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys ... the party's over

It's complicated
Stranded at first base I never saw her naked
Now I'llnever get a chance
I'm aggravated
When I think of all the precious time I've wasted
On another dead romance
The days go by, they fade away and so do I

And goodbye
Feels so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys ... the party's over

And I can't get over
Face the fact, it's over
I don't know why I even try

It's so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys ... the party's over

It takes a while to realise
Funny how the feeling dies
Don't wanna hear your alibis
For something you can't justify
There's nothing here for me to say
It's not for me to save the day
The lights are on so go away

"Boyband"

Boy's we've been here for a while
But we've finally got the style
Strike your pose and fake a smile
Give me Kenny, give me Kyle
I hate to break it but it's true
Fifteen minutes we'll be through
And I won't have to talk to you

Now you know the words you fool
Sing along to you own tune
Wrote to prove you are a tool
Tell your friends you joined a boyband
Boyband

Good Charlotte said they like McFly
Is half their fanbase gonna cry?
It's so pathetic dry your eyes
When you gonna realise a tun's a tune?
I don't know why the metalheads want us to die
But these days they're all under nine
So I'll be fine

Now you know the words you fool
Sing along to you own tune
Wrote to prove you are a tool
Tell your mom you joined a boyband
Boyband

I get calls from girls who saw me on TV
Behind my back they're saying nasty thing about me

"There's the kid who blew it all,
I sat next to him in school
Everyone thought he was cool
'til he quit his job and joined a boyband"
Boyband

Now you know the words you fool
Sing along to you own tune
Wrote to prove you are a tool
Tell your kids you joined a boyband
Boyband

Join a boyband
Join a boyband
Screw your life up
Join a boyband
Kids will hate you
Out to get you
Ever since you
Joined a boyband
It's really scary
Palms are sweaty
Potato guns are armed and ready
Screwed your life up
Just like Eddie
Ever since you
Joined a boyband

"Sick"

It's more than a habit
I'm more than an addict
I'm parked here outside of you door
Know you never lock it
Got you keys in my pocket
Lights all out
But I know for sure I am ...

Ten steps away from you
From you and him
Redemption, it that a sin?

I'd never run him over
I wouldn't wanna dent my car
I'd never rip your throat out
Cos that could leave a nasty scar
So I'm gonna go out
Get drunk with my friends
Try to get myself outta this funk
I'd never screw my life up
Because of how sick you are

You walk by the river
As you start to shiver
Two headlights are following you
As he pulls you closer
My engine's ticking over
It's my choice
To do what I do

Ten steps away from you
From you and him
Redemption, it that a sin?

I'd never run him over
I wouldn't wanna dent my car
I'd never rip your throat out
Cos that could leave a nasty scar
So I'm gonna go out
Get drunk with my friends
Try to get myself outta this funk
I'd never screw my life up
Because of how sick you are

I'm talking 'bout a split decision
Made in anger you know
I'm talking something that could change my life forever
Is it worth it? No
Is it worth it? No
Should I stay here and watch the whow?
Or maybe ... it's time to go

I'd never run him over
I wouldn't wanna dent my car
I'd never rip your throat out
Cos that could leave a nasty scar
So I'm gonna go out
Get drunk with my friends
Try to get myself outta this funk
I'd never screw my life up
Because of how sick you are

"Slacker"

My friend's a computer hacker
But in school everybody said he was a slacker
He writes science fiction novels
He builds whole towns and villages from cola bottles

He does equations just for fun
Eats low carb ice cream with his Mum
Sews Cub Scout badges on his sweater

He's just a feeling you ignore
A dumb computer hacker
Trash can on the floor
A pitiful disaster
Cried to sleep at night
When he never got it right
Cos he never realised
It doesn't even matter
Later on in life
He's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife
He's happy ever after
Stoked to be alive
With his dream job up at Nasa
Loving everyday
Well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker

He stays up all night playing Tetris
Asteroids, Pacman written on his 'games to get' list
Wasted nights spent up in his bedroom
Tough times, long nights
Must have been a lot to get through

He's getting sharp pains in his wrist
In his world girlfrien's don't exist
Cna't even get an ad on 'My Space'
(poor guy)

He's just a feeling you ignore
A dumb computer hacker
Trash can on the floor
A pitiful disaster
Cried to sleep at night
When he never got it right
Cos he never realised
It doesn't even matter
Later on in life
He's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife
He's happy ever after
Stoked to be alive
With his dream job up at Nasa
Loving everyday
Well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker

He's the one all alone in despair
He's the one who thinks life isn't fair
He's the one sitting right over there
He's the lonely guy on the side
Looking kinda shy
You could see him ride
Passing by on a pedal bike
He's the funny type
Kinda like 'Napoleon Dynamite'

He's just a feeling you ignore
A dumb computer hacker
Trash can on the floor
A pitiful disaster
Cried to sleep at night
When he never got it right
Cos he never realised
It doesn't even matter
Later on in life
He's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife
He's happy ever after
Stoked to be alive
With his dream job up at Nasa
Loving everyday
Well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker

It pays to be a slacker!
(And that's the truth)

"Holly... I'm The One"

I'm hiding in a bush outside your window
I'm feeling sick and numb
Fed all my best lines to my best friend
So he could be the one
But I'm jerk because it worked
And I've just realised what I've done

Yes I could've been the guy to get the girl
Yes I could've been the one rock your world
Promise me when you scream you fake it

Holly, I'm the one you should be dating
Seeing you with him is so frustrating
I taught him everything he knows
You fell for ever single line I gave him
I know that I'm dumb
But Holly ... I'm the one

So maybe I should just go home now
And let you have your fun
It doesn't make it any easier
I live across the street but one
If that clown let's you down
Holly, you know here to come

Yes I could've been the guy to get the girl
Yes I could've been the one rock your world
But I'm not, so I've got to face it

Holly, I'm the one you should be dating
Seeing you with him is so frustrating
I taught him everything he knows
He's just a fraud cos I'm the guy who made him
I know that I'm dumb
But Holly ... I'm the one

Who can't believe you're at my door
Cos he confessed that he'd been cheating
Suddenly a chance for me to tell the secret I'd been keeping
I am the one [x6]

You said you valued his integrity
And honesty is rare
He swore to you he'd never cheat again
He cried and said he cared
Well, he's a jerk because it worked

Holly, I'm the one you should be dating
Seeing you with him is so frustrating
I taught him everything he knows
He used to be my best friend now I hate him
And it sucks that he won
Cos he's a dick and you're amazing
I know that I'm dumb
But Holly ... I'm the one

"Wear Me Down"

I got a new suspicion
When I woke up today
Feels like there's something missing
Can't go on living this way
You turn on like a television
Shut off like the radio
Sucks that you never listen
'til it's time to go

Won't hang around
I'm out of town
No one you know
Could stop me now
I'm faster than the speed of sound
It's over
'cos all you do is wear me down

You speak only fiction
All day you criticize
I can't be around your bitching
I've got no room in my life
Your friend's feeding you ammunition
Why don't you realise
You're so different when you're with them
All their words are lies

Won't hang around
I'm out of town
No one you know
Could stop me now
I'm faster than the speed of sound
It's over
'cos all you do is wear me down

All you do is wear me down [x7]

I got a new suspicion
When I woke up today
Feels like there's something missing

Won't hang around
I'm out of town
No one you know
Could stop me now
I'm faster than the speed of sound
It's over
'cos all you do is wear me down

Won't hang around
I'm out of town
No one you know
Could stop me now
I'm faster than the speed of sound
It's over
'cos all you do is wear me down

"Murdered In The Mosh"

This one goes out to all the fakers
You all know who you are
It started with a girl
Kept turning her nose up at my band
She's into Yellow Card, Blink and Simple Plan

It's so pathetic

She's into Jane's Addiction
But she don't know their songs
And I fall over laughing when she tries to sing along
She thinks that she's so "emo"
Next week she'll be a "goth"
It all amounts to nothing
She gets murdered in the mosh

One night I crashed at her apartment
Her Sonic Youth CD's were nowhere to be seen
Instead, all I found was a letter
Her correspondence with some pop star magazine

It's so pathetic

She's into Jane's Addiction
But she don't know their songs
And I fall over laughing when she tries to sing along
She thinks that she's so "emo"
Next week she'll be a "goth"
It all amounts to nothing
She gets murdered in the mosh

Sometimes I wonder what goes on inside her mind
When she said she thought
Dave Grohl had died and Kurt Cobain was still alive
Just go to concerts that you love
Cos there's no shame in liking Backstreet Boys

She's into Jane's Addiction
But she don't know their songs
And I fall over laughing when she tries to sing along
She thinks that she's so "emo"
Next week she'll be a "goth"
It all amounts to nothing
She gets murdered in the mosh

This one goes out to all the fakers
Out to the critics and haters
This one goes out to all the fakers
You all know who you are
Give it up
Your friends will find out
Now or later
Time for change
Just be yourself
Don't be a faker
