THIS IS FINE
I thought that I was tripping balls
when the nursery rhymes came true
A cat played a fiddle and a worm told a riddle
and an old woman lived in a shoe
I wasn't high I was merely confused
gobsmacked mind boggled bemused
Just a normal healthy response to watching the news
Just when I thought it was safe to open my eyes
reality offends with some new unnatural surprise
The world's a stupid place
slow clap for the lost human race
As it turns out our best's a fucking disgrace
We're all gonna die [Everything's fine not to worry]
Pigs filling the sky [Normal I guess take it easy]
You're sober as well [Little bit drunk can you blame me?]
It's winter in hell
Everything's fine everything's fine honestly
I think I thought I lost my mind
when the cow jumped over the moon
And three blind mice thought they were safe from the wife
but they parted with their tails real soon
Through it all I was safe in my room
and not living in some twisted cartoon
And just when I thought that it was safe to relax
the dish ran away with the spoon
The goddamn dish ran away with the spoon

HEART OF COAL
Once upon a time I nearly missed her
'cause she's little and she's not very old
Then I guess she just about dismissed me
'cause she didn't think I was fully grown
She don't understand my love of punk rock bands
and she thinks my songs are like nursery rhymes
She eats goats when they get a bit too old
but not pussies 'cause they're too much fun to hold
She eats cookies and relatives as well
she's the shrew Croatian with a heart of coal
Heart of coal, heart of coal
Piss her off heads will roll
Heart of coal heart of coal
Hangry harpy with a heart of coal
Don't be late and don't be a break-dealer
when upset she's like a dog with a bone
push your buttons just like a piano
will she crash her car today no one knows
She likes to make fun of vegetarians
and she thinks hippies are preposterous
She beats children not really that's a joke
it's a secret that she sometimes likes to smoke
She believes in a father in the sky
she's the cute creation with a heart of coal
Heart of coal, heart of coal
She's sure she has a soul
Heart of coal heart of coal
devil dodger with a heart of coal
She likes to make fun of vegetarians
and she thinks my songs are preposterous
and she thinks hippies are like nursery rhymes
I promised her evil by mistake
'cause her language is so weird it might be fake
Bunny guts scar her little purple car
She's the dental patient with a heart of coal
Heart of coal, heart of coal
Step by step not too slow
Heart of coal heart of coal
Someday we'll crush little bits of coal

WHAT UNRAVELS
So they say that sometimes change is good for it's sake
there's no need for a good reason why
All the same I should know when I'm fooling myself
or at least I should know what's a lie
Now I'm lost it's becoming an emergency
Can't get back to where I know that I ought to be
I've been picking the stitches and digging a hole
I'm not mining the strongest of seams
There's a chance that I'm making an ass of myself
but of course that's just one of my themes
Now there's no turning back and I can't change my course
everything that I try is just making it worse
I've been pulling on threads just to see what unravels
Sure it seemed like a good idea at the time
now I'm left with a mess I can't seem to rewind
I've been pulling on threads just to see what unravels
At the moment you step off the ledge into space
all alone sort of seems less than real
There are things that I say that are best left unsaid
but it's just the way I really feel
Now I keep falling faster I can't face my fate
there are things I could change but I know it's too late
I've been pulling on threads just to see what unravels
Sure it seemed like a good idea at the time
now I'm left with a mess I can't seem to rewind
I've been pulling on threads just to see what unravels
I've been pulling these threads
and I've been staying in bed
Forgetting who's dead the worst thing about survival
and I've been pulling on threads

GUEST OF HONOUR
Once upon a twice upon a many fucking times
You were asked to surrender and you didn't fucking mind
But I do
It's a flaw in my character I cannot fall in line
You've always gotta have the latest shiny things
ultimately pointless but it's funny when it rings
And here comes the part where you assume that no one's gonna mind
just before you waste my time
Information is power and you're giving yours away
doesn't matter who asks it's only beans you get in trade
If you've really got nothing to hide it's sad you're such a bore
doesn't matter any more
Once upon a twice upon a many fucking times
You were asked to surrender and you didn't fucking mind
But I do
Mum says I'm an iconoclast a rebel all the time
This is a gang bang like the ones you've seen online
you're the guest of honour there's a queue forming behind
What's happening to us? Seems no one cares and no one knows
the emperor has got your clothes

NEW YEAR'S DAY
I won't be there when you're scared
stop your nightmares stroke your hair
You won't laugh at my stupid jokes
you tolerate me more than most
Won't bring you flowers just because
I know it's something that you love
Don't get to be there when you win
I will miss my closest friend
Still can't believe it's the bitter end
wish we could stop this and start again
Lost more than I thought I had
something good can seem so sad
I'll be thinking about it New Year's Day
I will always cheer you on
I'll still play you our little song
Can only hope you don't feel betrayed
we had the life but it got away
I can't be there when you go
watch our life come to a close
Will always seem hard to understand
try explaining but I can't
It was so easy to make you smile
just the smallest things once in a while
Lost more than I thought I had
only you could understand
I'll be thinking about it New Year's Day
I've got a permanent lump in my throat
yeah the doctor says I'm fine
but I'm choked up all the time

I SMELL A RAT
Well it's fine to believe things that aren't true
if you can get other people to believe them too
You might get somewhere
You might like it there
Do you know deep inside that it's not okay
saying whatever's gonna help you get your way
You still having fun
if you hurt someone?
Yet you don't really believe yourself
You say whatever it takes
to take advantage of someone else
'Cause the point is that you've got no shame
Don't apologise and then you'll
never ever have to explain
So just go tell the story you want to tell
and the facts and reality can go to hell
You enrage and scare
You might boost your share
And we all shake our heads and we bite our tongues
and do nothing while everyone expects someone
to please call your bluff
Have we heard enough?
Yet you don't really believe yourself
You say whatever it takes
to take advantage of someone else
'Cause the point is that you've got no shame
Don't apologise and then you
don't have to explain
You're laughing
I think that I smell a rat
I think that I know exactly where it's at
I think that I smell a rat
It's a whole new world out there
The truth is all in tatters
with no prospect of repair
Gotta keep your head on straight somehow
Despite what we can see
we're expected to believe it now
