My Voodoo Doll [ < top ]

Well, I tried everything at least once
And if I liked it then I did it a bunch
But the only thing that failed me
Were the things that were meant to save me

You can find yourself in a factory
As the credits roll
Waiting on the big time
Waiting on the big time

Well, I can stay in bed all day
And I can wish you all away
If I just choose my voodoo doll
If I just choose my voodoo doll

Well, same thing every day
Slowly drain your life away
Watch as each day turns to night time
Waiting on the big light

You find yourself in a factory
As the credits roll
Hanging on for dear life
Well, you've got to let it go

Well, I can stay in bed all day
And I can wish you all away
If I just choose my voodoo doll
If I just choose my voodoo doll

I tried everything at least once
And if I liked it then I did it a bunch
But the only thing that failed me
Were the things that were meant to save me

Well, I can stay in bed all day
And I can wish you all away
If I just choose my voodoo
If I just choose my voodoo

Well, I can stay in bed all day
And I can wish you all away
If I just choose my voodoo doll
If I just choose my voodoo doll

If It Kills Me (Live) [ < top ]

This is dedicated to you lot
If it kills me

Tonight I'm so sky high
I can only see one star in the sky
Wanna get closer, put your name on it
Lift me up so I can reach it

And if I do just one thing with my life
I'll get the truth for you tonight
'Cos there's more to me than this twisted side
I'll get the truth for you tonight

There are still things that I wanna do
And there are still places that I wanna see
Find a hidden corner I can take you to
I've been around the world but it's seen right through me

And if I do just one thing with my life
I'll get the truth for you tonight
'Cos there's more to me than this twisted side
I'll get the truth for you tonight

If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me

Oh yeah

Tonight I'm so sky high
I can only see one star in the sky
Wanna get closer, put your name on it
Lift me up so I can reach it

And if I do just one thing with my life
I'll get the truth for you tonight
'Cos there's more to me than this twisted side
I'll get the truth

Come on, Belfast

If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me

If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me

Screamager (live) [ < top ]

Take it away

Come on, Belfast

Here we go

With a face like this I won't break any hearts
And thinking like that I won't make any friends

Come on

Screw that
Forget about that
I don't want to think about anything like that

Screw that
Forget about that
I don't want to know about anything like that

I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you

Your beauty makes me feel alone
I look inside but no one's home

Screw that
Forget about that
I don't want to think about anything like that

Screw that
Forget about that
I don't want to know about anything like that

I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you

Come on

I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up

Come on

But get screwed up on you
But get screwed up on you, Belfast

Belfast

Oh, Belfast
From Therapy?
On this night of Alternative Ulster
You have been fucking amazing
We fucking love you
We'll see you later in the year
See you later

Teethgrinder (Live) [ < top ]

This is a tune called Teethgrinder

Belfast, yeah

This feels good, nothing can stop me
Every nerve rushes right through me
Every thought coming at full speed
This false smile grates through babyteeth

(I'm a teethgrinder) Teethgrinder (In my sleep I grind my teeth)
(I'm a teethgrinder) Teethgrinder (In my sleep I grind my teeth)

Think to win and I'm up on it
I can't lose, I've got nothing to
Try me now, I'll try anything
This is me, this is how I feel

(I'm a teethgrinder) Teethgrinder (In my sleep I grind my teeth)
(I'm a teethgrinder) Teethgrinder (In my sleep I grind my teeth)

(Losing his mind and he feels it going)

(I'm a teethgrinder) Teethgrinder (In my sleep I grind my teeth)
(I'm a teethgrinder) Teethgrinder (In my sleep I grind my teeth)

Fucking yeah

(I'm a teethgrinder, in my sleep I grind my teeth)
