| Beauty Contest |
Damsel in distress is quite submissive
Look how somber my vanity is
A feminine human creature
Superficial, seducing detour
I'm going to the mall for the cookie cutter
The ugly duckling will always suffer
Contaminated standards, I try to fight it
I better get back on my diet
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Beauty contest
I'm obsessed
Reduce myself, I got the strict restrictions
Not sexy enough without the regulations
A melting point countdown the fading features
Born to blossom and bloom to perish
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Oh, I've got to get out of this mess
Beauty contest
I'm obsessed
And I've fallen, I can't help myself
I'm feeling envious of all the rest
You're bringing out the lemming in me
A victim of the cattle call disease
Not easy to be me
I feel so lame
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
I've got to get out of this mess
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
And I feel so lame
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
(child) My vanity's a mess

| Full Circle |
All I've ever touched or said to them
Becomes a rehearsal for you, just practicing,
Too many magic moments to be coincidence
It all comes full circle
I knew someone who knew you
And he introduced me to you
Your ex-girlfriend had a boyfriend
Who kissed my girlfriend
Who dated Adrian
The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of seperation
We all know someone else
It all comes full circle
And you come from England
My ex-boyfriend, he is Indian
British passport, we're all connected
And everyone else is affected
The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of seperation
We all know someone else
It all comes full circle
It all comes full circle
The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of seperation
We all know someone else
It all comes full circle
The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of seperation
We all know someone else
It all comes full circle

| Leftlovers |
Thinking what should I do
Now I don't have you
Facing my demotion
I'm just a fish in your ocean
Has been, that's what I am
With my backstage wristband
Freaking seconds of you
That's not what I'm used to
Feed, feed 'em all to me
Careful with my stuff
What's your policy
First one's free
I save 'em up, I put 'em in my pocket
I save 'em up, put 'em in a jar
I save 'em up, I'm gonna need 'em for later
I save 'em up, then they'll go real far
Hand me downs, the takedowns
I take the leftovers
Cold ones and the old ones
Better than no ones
Feed, feed 'em all to me
Careful with my stuff
What's your policy
First one's free
I save 'em up, I put 'em in my pocket
I save 'em up, put 'em in a jar
I save 'em up, I need 'em for later
I save 'em up, then they'll go real far
I time it out, gotta be real careful
I time it out, get 'em right on time
I time it out, I get 'em when I need 'em
Time is up, what's left is over
It's over
I can never have enough
Oh, I can never have enough
I sure am greedy
Hand 'em over to me
Nothing's free
I save 'em up, I put 'em in my pocket
I save 'em up, put 'em in a jar
I save 'em up, gonna need 'em for later
I save 'em up, then they'll go real far
I time it out, I'll be real careful
I time it out, get 'em right on time
I time it out, I get 'em when I need 'em
Time is up, what's left is over
Oh, I need 'em,
Yeah, I need 'em
Because I need 'em
Time is up, what's left is over
I time it out, I time it out
Because I need 'em, I really need 'em
What should I do, now I don't have you?
I really need 'em, I really need 'em
Hand me downs, the takedowns
I take the leftovers

| Oi To The World! |
Haji was a punk just like any other boy
And he never had no trouble till he started up his Oi band
Safe in the garage or singing in the tub
Till Haji went too far and he plugged in at the pub
'Twas a cold Christmas eve when Trevor and the skins
Popped in for a pint and to nick a back of crisps
Trevor liked the music but not the Unity
He unwound Haji's turban and he knocked him to his knees
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins-
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!"
Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out thru the crowd
he said "we'll meet again we are bloody but not unbowed"
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet
Christmas day on the roof down at 20 Oxford street
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins-
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!"
On the roof with the nun chucks Trevor broke a lot of bones
But Haji had a sword like that guy in Indiana Jones
Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man
Haji was alone and abandoned by his band
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate
When the skins left him there and went down the fire escape
Oi! Oi!
But then Haji saw the north star shining more then ever
So he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor
They repelled down the roof with the rest of the turban
and went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins-
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!"
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins-
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!"
Oi! Oi!

| South Side |
See myself in the pouring home
See the light come over now
I see myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me
Here we are now, going to the east side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night, yeah, we ride all day
Some may come, love, and some may stay
Here we are in the pouring home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me
Here we are now going to the west side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come, love, and some may stay
Watching out for the sunny day where there's
Love and darkness and my sidearm
Hey, elan, elan
Here we are now going to the north side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride at night, yeah, we ride all day
Looking out for the sunny day
Here we are now going to the south side (the south side)
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die (hope we won't die)
Ride at night, ride through heaven and hell (heaven and hell)
Come back, love, and feel so well (feel so well)

| Under Construction |
His accent serenades me and presses at the door
Broken promise to be around for my mind war
And my accomplishment's interrogating me
Today's become tomorrow before I wanted it to be
And desperate discussions
The start of the destruction
Our sign, in my mind
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
'Cause I'm under construction everyone
So you'll have to mind the mess
I'm under some construction
I always had to try harder, I never really could keep up
Sitting in the corner with my illness and bad luck
But in this humble place I'm feeling like red wine
And I hope to get better with some time
I'll be fine
With some time
I'll be fine
'Cause I'm under construction everyone
So you'll have to mind the mess
I'm under some construction
Construction
Modification
Motivation
Of construction
And the rituals that soothe and disgust me will be gone
With some time
I'll be fine
With some time
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
I'm under construction everyone
So you'll have to mind the mess
I'm under some construction
I'm under construction everyone
So you'll have to mind the mess
I'm under some construction
Under construction
Construction
Feel better with some construction
