Fifty Bucks

Here I am in front of you, fortunately
I've made it through insanity
One thing after another another and again
When will it end?
I don't care I'm fighting through
Cuz I know it's okay
I got fifty bucks and a good time on the way
I hope it's alright if I stay
I've got 45 minutes and help is on the way
Remember when they stole your car?
Let's not forget how they tore your heart into bits
And you messed up over and over and again
Let's not pretend
That it's easy in this cold, dark world
But I know it’s okay
I got fifty bucks and a good time on the way
I hope it's alright if I stay
I've got 45 minutes and help is on the way

Come with me oh come with me
I love you, you are all that I need
Come with me and leave everything else behind you
You know that you don't need to do a thing right now
Because...
I have the answers to your questions
I know just what you want to say and do
And I think that you know where you belong
It's time to go so...
Come along, come along with me
I am the one
I know you
And you know me
Come with me oh come with me
I'll take you to where you wanna be
Come with me yeah
Nobody can stop us if they tried
Because...
They lack the answers to our questions
They don't know what we want to say and do
And I know that you know where you belong
It's time to go so...
Come along, come along with me
I am the one
I know you
And you know me

I told myself today was the day
"Could I please get..."
No wait I was serious I said
"Get off your arse and hit the gym,
Break a sweat and join a spinning class"
I'm gonna have muscles
Big and strong and ripply
I'm gonna have muscles
What you gonna do about it?
I'm gonna have muscles
Big and strong and veiny
I'm gonna have muscles...
Beat some evil people up
Pick some weaker people up
Wake some other people up
Wake some other people up
I told myself enough is enough
Of all the things...
This time I wasn't joking I said
"Gonna run 5K's and eat my All Bran everyday"
Cuz I'm gonna have muscles
I'm absolutely cut now
I'm gonna have muscles
So why don't you just step aside?
I'm gonna have muscles
I'm a Virgin Active local
I'm gonna have muscles...
Beat some evil people up
Pick some weaker people up
Wake some other people up
Wake some other people up
*interlude*
Yeah I'm talking about muscles
Watch out!
Muscles on my freaking muscles
Everywhere
Yeah I'm gonna have muscles... yeah.

My Hometown

Oh I remember a time before the aged calling
When remembering was a distant memory
Born and bred punk rock on the streets of Durban city
I'll never leave this God damn place
Cuz there's something in the water
There's something in the sea
There's something in the air we breathe
There's something for you and me
There's something for you and me
There's something for you and me
There's something for them to see
And there's no place I'd rather be
Oh I remember a time when all the boys were falling
Falling victim to a corporate industry
One by one they went in the search of something pretty
But they'll be back from the ol' rat race
Cuz there's something in the soil
There's something in the trees
There's something in the democracy
There's something for you and me
There's something for you and me
There's something for you and me
There's something for them to see
And there's no place I'd rather be
Oh I remember a time that is worth recalling
When the good time rolled and the truth was told to me
I was where I was and you were there because
Where else in the world would you have been?
And there's no time to get annoyed
And there's no need to disagree
There's nothing wrong with our society
There's nothing wrong with you and me
There's something for you and me
There's something for you and me
There's something for them to see
And there's no place I'd rather be
No there's no place I'd rather be

Don't Give Up

Oh Angelina, she was so damn hot you should have seen her
Prancing around in her pink bikina
The hottest girl on North Beach
I knew I had to meet her
And so I asked her for her number so that I could phone or fax her
We went out once but it was a disaster
And she was just another
Thing that I couldn't master
And she dumped me like the waves at North Beach
She dumped me like the waves at South Pier
She dumped me like the waves at Bay of Plenty
She dumped me so hard that I think I should quit surfing
I think I should quit surfing
Oh Katherine, I asked her out because I could imagine
Living with her in her giant mansion
She was very rich
And she said that I was handsome
And so we went out and she got angry and started to shout
She gave me one helluva big clout
She said that I was
Undoubtedly the world’s biggest drop out
And she dumped me like the waves at North Beach
She dumped me like the waves at South Pier
She dumped me like the waves at Bay of Plenty
She dumped me so hard that I think I should quit surfing
I think I should quit surfing
Eliza, she looked like she worked for Teasers
I would do anything to please her
She was very hot
And she listened to Weezer
And so I told her
She could go with me although she was older
The problem was that she was a stoner
And she got pretty high
And kicked me in the boner... MMM
And then she dumped me like the waves at North Beach
She dumped me like the waves at South Pier
She dumped me like the waves at Bay of Plenty
She dumped me so hard that I think I should quit surfing
I think I should quit surfing
Love is just like a wave
It crashes and fades away
But behind it there is another
And you ride it because you love her too
And she will dump you like the waves at North Beach
She'll dump you like the waves at South Pier
She'll dump you like the waves at Bay of Plenty
She'll dump you so hard that
You'll think you should quit surfing
You'll think you should quit surfing
But don't give up.

One Bad Night

I bought a box of cigarettes and I smoked them till the end
Cuz there's nothing that I can do or say to change it
And I call on you my friend to make a difference now
But there's nothing that you can do or say to change it
One more coffee please, I need to quench my soul
I had twenty-something beers last night and I'm feeling it
What do I do now? Where do I go?
I've pushed myself to the end and I can't handle
I could kill, I could die
Nothing really matters
I could kill, I could die
But I'll forget it all tonight...
When I buy a box of cigarettes, smoke them till the end
Cuz there's nothing that I can do or say to change it
And I call on you my friend to make a difference now
But there's nothing that you can do or say to change it
I'm feeling numb again, I've stepped over the line
In fact I'm so far over I can't see it
Slap me in my face, take all that you need
Cuz by tomorrow morning I'll forget it
I could kill, I could die
Nothing really matters
I could kill, I could die
But I'll forget it all tonight...
When I buy a box of cigarettes and I smoke them till the end
Cuz there's nothing that I can do or say to change it
And I call on you my friend to make a difference now
But there's nothing that you can do or say to change it
I'm just a lowly man, powerless I admit
My morning always reeks of disappointment
And I smell like stale beer, and I taste like smoky ash
But at least I went and did something about it
I could kill, I could die
Nothing really matters
I could kill, I could die
But let's forget it all tonight...
And let's buy a box of cigarettes, smoke them till the end
Cuz there's nothing that we can do or say to change it
And let’s call all our friends to make a difference now
But there's nothing that they can do or say to change it

Roachy and the Rock Coaches Durban, South Africa
