The Interview
I was nervous at the interview
There was Phil from head office
I used to avoid him at social gatherings
And Fiona from HR
I remember her from school
Frisky Fiona was her name
I look at her, she looks away
These people will decide my future
In a duel that could go either way
I'm nervous at the interview
Jealous at the interview
Will they choose me
Or will they choose you?
Fiona adjusts her position
she crosses her legs
And i'm briefly distracted
As I miss the start of Phil's question
Something about being assertive
So, I rummage for an answer
And blurt out that I'm domineering
A cheeky smile comes across Fiona’s face
Those cherry red lips, are a disgrace
Goodbye Fiona, Goodbye Phil (handshake weak)
You’ll hear from us within the week
I leave the office
The daylight blinds me
As I stumble upon the street
I look up to the office window
To see Fiona on the phone....
...my pocket starts to vibrate.

Take The Damage Back

He put on his cap, in the cold pouring rain
Wiped the blood from his mouth and said "don’t come here again"
The villain ran, as fast as he could
Into the night; while the village shook
If he’d thought
He would've stopped
If he’d thought, he’d take the damage back
He arose from the ground into the night
As he looked down, he could see his past
The fire arose, from a fire in his gut
And through his hands; he saw his village burn

How many times must I lie to you?
About the wonderful things I do
How many times must I pretend to like?
A compulsory smile to the camera
How many fake certificates?
What do I need for a one way vision?
How do I get myself excited?
When my hopes appear to be blind
The youth are skipping happily by
Some are running far too fast
How many times must I lie to you?
How many times must I lie to you?
Are you finally getting bitter?
As you watch your people get on
As you watch them all succeed
As you watch thier faces light up
When you finally recognise
And you are still left behind
To sit in the social club
With your coupon and yer pint

Hero or a Villain

Are you a hero? Or a villain?
Are you a good guy? Or just bad?
Are you helpful? Or do you just take it?
Do you embrace the world? Or do you break it?
Are you a hero? Or a villain?
Are you a good guy? Or just bad?
Do you love someone enough to care?
If their life gets heavy, you’ll pull them out of there?
Are you a hero? Or a villain?

What’d you want me to be?
What’d you take from me?
There is a part you’ve taken from me
It’s so hard to be, it's so hard to be
A friend that you’d really rather see
Yeah
What do you want me to be?
What sign will I be?
I'm not the answer, don’t ask me
What do you want me to be?
What do you want me to be?
I'm a like a canine with no teeth.
Yeah
Oh what have you done?
You put your last coin in the machine.
