No Regrets
You feel buried, you feel bored
No one takes u seriously when ur 24
So shut off ur days
And turn on ur nights
'cause the chance is for the taking
And the taking's right
No you really haven't lived life yet
No you really haven't lived life
If you ain't got no regrets
What I did last night
Is none of your concern
You know I feel right
But that's none of your concern
No you really haven't lived life yet
No you really haven't lived life yet
If you ain't got no regrets
If you ain't got no regrets
Don't be mistaken
For someone who cares
Oh no, Oh no you wouldn't dare
Your the path here,
The pawn i took,
The sacrificial lamb,
The spineless book
Oh no you really haven't lived life yet
Oh no you really haven't lived life yet
If you ain't got no regrets
If you ain't got no regrets
Broken Man
I'm a broken man
This here's my broken band
From a broken land
We take the good, the bad
Yeah
I'm a broken man
From a broken land
This here's my broken band
From your hand
Yeah
I'm a broken man
This here's my broken band
From a broken land
We call Detroit City
There's no blood on these hands
That's why we came to take a stand
We take the good, we take the bad
It's all we ever -
It's all we had
Yeah
I'm a broken man [x6]
C'mon C'mon
On another day c'mon c'mon
With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young
With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young
Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I ever learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)
As I make my way c'mon c'mon
These better nights that seem too long
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young
With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young
Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)
Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I never learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)
And know this day these deepened wounds don't heal so fast
Can't hear me croon of a million lies that speak no truth
Of a time gone by that now is through
Tell Me What You See
Everything is perfect
Until I get your phone call
Tellin' me something I said or did that wasn't even my fault
When will I know it's the end
When there's nothing left for me and you
Then it gets much much worse as the day goes on
I hear rumors of lies of my name being dropped
By the friends that I once loved
When will I know it's the end
When there's nothing left for me and you
Well take a good look, and tell me what you see
I got a bad feelin' about a thing or two
And the way life's supposed to be
With your bridled views and the life you choose
You take the fun out being and leave nothing to lose
When is enough enough
When there's nothing left for me and you
(x5)
Been Swank
I've been set up like the innocent
I've been swank and I'm lovin' it
I've been alone like a little kid
I've been swank and I'm lovin' it
I've been swank and lovin' it
Oh no, it's a sin, the jury's in
Doesn't look like I'll be doin' it again and again
'Cause I've been swank
Been swank and lovin' it
I've been swank and lovin' it.
The nights are cold, the nights are long
I'm alone, I'm alone alone
I've been set up like the innocent.
I've been swank and lovin' it
I've been swank and lovin' it
I've been swank...and lovin' it
Mairead
Oh, Mairead
Your love is beyond compare
You have streaks of ivory hair
Two lips I wouldn't dare
Oh, Mairead, sweet sweet Mairead
Love of my life Mairead
Oh Mairead
Oh Mairead, Oh Mairead
It's your oasis, stroke of the pen
It's your hive of friends, baby
Tell me is this the end
Oh, Mairead, sweet sweet Mairead
Love of my life Mairead
Oh Mairead
Oh Mairead, Oh Mairead
You hide behind an icy stare
Do you even care whether I'm here?
Whether I'm there, oh Mairead
You sucked my dry, took all my will to live
Look at me, oh look at me Mairead
Sweet Mairead
Sweet sweet Mairead
Sweet sweet Mairead
Oh, Mairead, you've took every every ounce of my love
Left me for dead, I think I've had enough
Oh, Mairead, you said it was true love
You said it was everything you ever wanted
You said, you said lies, you said lies
Oh, Mairead, played me for a fool
Oh Mairead , oh Mairead you took everything and you left me
Left me for dead
Not That Social
I'm the centre of whats tagging you near
But if you want it you better come quickly
You're not that social just a good drinker
I know a way to make things better
But do I mean it
Or am I just mean?
You're not that social just a good drinker
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Theres no limits to the problems you bring
You need help I need the chance
Its on its way and
You're not that social just a good drinker
I've been hinting for a long long time
You'll never make it this is the end
You're not that social just a good drinker
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Breathe in breathe out
I know you're drowning
Breathe in breathe in
I know you're drowning
You're not that social just a good drinker
Breathe in breathe out
You're not that social just a good drinker
Breathe in breathe out I know you're drowning
Breathe in breathe out I know you're drowning
Breathe in breathe in
Breathe in breathe in
Crawl Through Darkness
Crawl through the darkness, fear all that don't, fate is a gift [x2]
Can you see the eyes and the daggers that follow?
Anything and everything that stand in the way
Wait, please wait, to the boy who hears the father
Reaching for his hand as his heart starts to sway [x2]
Crawl through the darkness, fear all that don't, fate is a gift [x4]
Truth by truth you'll break men in town
What makes a man drink
And another man cry
If not a gift
No change to make way
Through these fine hours of a our lonely lives
Through these fine hours of a our lonely lives
Crawl through the darkness, fear all that don't, fate is a gift [x4]
I need to be alone, I'm halfway to nowhere
More 'n the cold on now that I am alone
Wait means wait, to the boy and his father
Raching for a hand as my heart starts to sway [x2]
Crawl through the darkness, fear all that don't, fate is a gift [x5]

The Fever [x2]
She don't know what she's talking about
Yeah, she's running on empty
She an't sing, she just screams and shouts
Yeah, she's running on empty
She can't feel for the second choosing
To live her life without you
She'd be the one to - she'd be the one to
Try and find what I'm after
B. She don't know what she's talking about
Yeah, she can't sing, she just screams and shouts
C. He thinks it's easy
But it's not easy
Because without him
My heart is empty
He thinks it's easy
But it's not easy
Because without him
My heart is empty
She don't know what she's talking about
Yeah, she's running on empty
She an't sing, she just screams and shouts
Yeah, she's running on empty
She'd be the one to say 'I don't know
I don't know anything about you'
But she can't live - she can't live -
She can't live without you
She don't know what she's talking about
Yeah, she can't sing, she just screams and shouts

Right Of Way
I've been hanging around this place too long
I get satisfied and then I'm gone
You break me down and then you treat me low
Like a love you won't bestow
On me [x2]
These feelings I have can't be wrong
The signs say -
I've got the right of way
Self-destruction is my destination
This is how it pains my days
With mixed emotions - even lies
You make me break all ties to these ways
You lay this guilt on me
On me [x3]
These feelings I have can't be wrong
The signs say -
I've got the right of way
You take me seriously when I'm playing the part
Oh, the man with the shattered start
You break me down and then you treat me low
Like the love you won't bestow
On me [x4]
These feelings I have can't be wrong
The signs say -
I've got the right of way
You've got to break it, break it to me
You got to break it to me easy
[repeat and fade to end]
Poison Ivy
Nothing can compare
Two weeks I stared
Hands, hand tied
I got an itch
I call her poison ivy
It can kill
Hey hey, oh well
I've got an itch
I call her poison ivy
It can kill
Oh, well
Poison ivy
Poison ivy
Poison - hey hey hey hey
Took my youth
Everything that ever meant something
Nothing comes between me and you
Most of my friends
Most of my friends
Are dead because of you
Poison ivy
Poison ivy
Poison - hey hey hey hey
I had no choice
But to love you
Poison ivy
Poison ivy
Poison ivy
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
[fade and repeat to end]
Pawn Shoppe Heart
I found my heart
In a pawn shop, baby
You took me for dead - dead
By the way - you still
I am way past tales
I'm bored and I'm crazy
You took all my good love
And gave it all away
I've been on the backstreet
I'm all alone
I've been on the hotseat
I'm gone - I'm gone
Sweet little love of mine
Take all you can
I'm your pawn shop lover
I'm your pawn shop, broken-heart man
With all your good looks
I still have nothing
Breaking the whip on my back like a man
Still have nothing
Take everything you want
Take all you can
I'm your pawn shop lover
I'm your pawn shop, broken-heart man
