I threw my head against a wall
Just to prove that I had brains
And now they're spilled over the floor
I guess I should have thought this through]
But what's the use?
I just do what I do
I threw myself off of a bridge
'Cause all my friends were doing it
And now I'm drowning in the sun
I never really learnt to swim
But what's the use?
I just do what I do
I should hold on
to the place that I am from
But I hate it
It's fucking awful
Let's burn it down
Let's burn it down
I threw my head against a wall
And then I jumped off of a bridge
Now I'm spilled over the floor
'Cause all my friends were doing it
But what's the use?
I just do what I do

Coming Last

I wish I'd made a note of all the things
That were unfortunate enough to fall my way
Then maybe I could have prepared myself
But to be honest that's hard to say
'Cause I don't remember coming last
But I remember how it felt to ask
I could live another hundred years
until I'm old and barely able to move
Then I'll just sit in the same old armchair
Telling great-grandkids of the things I used to do
And I won't remember coming last
But I'll remember how it felt to ask
I don't remember coming last
But I remember how it felt to ask

Roll Your Eyes

And it seems like the kind of day that I could spend inside my bed
But you roll your eyes so hard some times that they fall out the back of your head
So you can see all the things I do
When I'm not able to look at you
And you could watch the skies hoping planes collide
Imagine I'm flying them
Or I could spend my nights thinking trains arrive
To fill the space inside my head
It seems the safest bet is that I won't get to do what I want to.

Dead Happy
01:54

Let's hold hands and stay up late
And watch the Earth Move round the sun
Or we could burn all the buildings down
Whatever comes will come
'Cause I'm a dog and you are one too
And we are the best of friends
Or maybe I am letter inside of an envelope you send
And if the world remembers me then I'll be happy
But if nobody but you says goodbye that's fine
So let's hang ourselves in picture frames
And nail them by the bed
We'll make sure that we're smiling in them
So we're happy when we're dead
And if the world remembers me then I'll be happy
But if nobody but you says goodbye that's fine
I'll just lie inside my box until
The world decides to bring us back together
To be dead best friends

Everybody says they want a million pounds
But I'd rather have a million days with you
My account doesn't go that high
Doesn't mean I have to say goodbye to you
I can't promise you a million pounds
But I can promise that I'll be true to you
Everybody says they want a million pounds
But I'd rather have a million days with you
Day one we'd go fishing
Dollar movies on day two
Days three and four we'd spend in bed
Just like we used to do
A million days with you would go by much too fast
I've got a million ways to make our friendship last
I've got a million ways
Everybody says they want a million pounds
But I'd rather have a million days with you
My account doesn't go that high
Doesn't mean I have to say goodbye to you
Day five we would ride our bikes
Camping on day six
Days seven and eight
I'd show you how much I love you
A million days with you would go by much too fast
I've got a million ways to make our friendship last
I've got a million ways
Everybody says they want a million pounds
But I'd rather have a million days with you
My account doesn't go that high
Doesn't mean I have to say goodbye to you
I can't promise you a million pounds
But I can promise that I'll be true to you
Everybody says they want a million pounds
But I'd rather have a million days with you
