Oh, deary me My little brother's in his bedroom Smoking weed I tell him he should get up 'Cause it's nearly half-past three He can't be bothered 'Cause he's high on THC I ask him very nicely If he'd like a cup of tea I can't even see him 'Cause his room is so smoky Don't understand How one can watch so much TV My baby brother Alfie How I wish that you could see Oh, I only say it 'cause I care So please can you stop pulling my hair Now, now, there's no need to swear Please don't despair My dear mon frère Oh, Alfie get up It's a brand new day I just can't sit back And watch you waste your life away You need to get a job Because the bills need to get paid Get off your lazy arse Alfie, please use your brain Surely there's some walls out there That you can go and spray I'm feeling guiltier For leading you astray Now how the hell do you ever expect That you'll get laid When all you do is stay in Playing your computer games Oh, I only say it 'cause I care So please can you stop pulling my hair Now, now, there's no need to swear Please don't despair My dear mon frère Oh, little brother Please refrain from doing that I'm trying to help you out So can you stop being a twat? It's time that you and I Sat down and had a little chat And look me in the eye Take off that stupid fitted cap Oh, I only say it 'cause I care So please can you stop pulling my hair Now, now, there's no need to swear Please don't despair Please don't despair Now mon frère

Don't let anyone Ever tell you Who you are Or can and can't become So what if it's one, in a hundred? Who's to say, you are not that one? Maybe it's, sleepless nights Eventually you'll get a piece of that patriarchy pie They'll be tears, drawn out fights I don't see no reason you can't Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it I know what it's like, in more difficult times I was treading a line Between drive and survival If I could go back see myself as a child I'd say stick to your gun, girl In fact go get that rifle They will try, to take you down Men in the middle Keep the world spinning round Love this life Stand your ground I don't see no reason you can't Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it There's some light Think you need it You look so god, damn defeated Why'd you feel so cheated? Best believe it (Have your cake and eat it) (Have your cake and eat it) (Have your cake and eat it) (Have your cake and eat it) (Have your cake and eat it) (Have your cake and eat it) (Hey, have your cake and eat it) (Have your cake and eat it) Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it, baby Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it Have your cake and eat it

Would you please take me away from this place? I cannot bear to see the look upon your faces And if there is some kind of god Do you think he's pleased when he looks down on us? I wonder what he sees Do you think he'd think the things we do are a waste of time? Maybe he'd think that we are getting on just fine Do you think he's skint or financially secure? And come election time I wonder who he'd vote for Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name Long before that September, long before hijacking planes He's lost the will, he can't decide He doesn't know who's right or wrong But there's one thing that he's sure of This has been going on too long (ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah) Do you think he'd drive in his car without insurance? Now is he interesting or do you think he'd bore us? Do you think his favourite type of human is caucasian? Do you reckon he's ever been done for tax evasion? Do you think he's any good at remembering people's names? Do you think he's ever taken smack or cocaine? I don't imagine he's ever been suicidal His favourite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name Long before that September, long before hijacking planes He's lost the will he can't decide He doesn't know who's right or wrong But there's one thing that he's sure of This has been going on too long Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name Long before that September, long before hijacking planes He's lost the will, he can't decide He doesn't know who's right or wrong But there's one thing that he's sure of This has been going on too long

Been here before, so I'm prepared Not gonna lie though, I'm kinda scared Lace up my gloves, I'm going in Don't let my kids watch me when I get in the ring I'll take the hits, roll with the punches I'll get back up, it's not as if I've never done this And then again, the game is changing Can't just come back, jump on the mic and do the same thing There goes the bell, I know that sound I guess it's time for me to go another round Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it I'll see you on the other side, if I'm still breathing RiRi isn't scared of Katy Perry's roaring Queen B's going back to the drawing Lorde smells blood, yeah, she's about to slay you Kid ain't one to fuck with when she's only on her debut We're all watching Gaga, L-O-L, oh, ha-ha Dying for the art, so really, she's a martyr Second best will never cut it for the divas Give me that crown, bitch I wanna be Sheezus I'm ready for all the comparisons I think it's dumb and it's embarrassing I'm switching off, no longer listening I've had enough of persecution and conditioning Maybe it's an instinct, we're only animal Maybe it's healthy, maybe it's rational It makes me angry, I'm serious But, then again, I'm just about to get my period (Whoa!) Periods, we all get periods Every month, that's what the theory is It's human nature, another cycle Be nice to me, I'll make you one of my disciples RiRi isn't scared of Katy Perry's roaring Queen B's going back to the drawing Lorde smells blood, yeah, she's about to slay you Kid ain't one to fuck with when she's only on her debut We're all watching Gaga, L-O-L, oh, ha-ha Dying for the art so, really, she's a martyr Second best will never cut it for the divas Give me that crown, bitch I wanna be Sheezus I am bored again, now run around and tell All your friends to come and join us Give yourselves to me, I am your leader Let me be Sheezus Let me be Sheezus I am bored again, now run around and tell All your friends to come and join us Give yourselves to me, I am your leader Let me be Sheezus

When she was twenty-two the future looked bright But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say 'Til the man of her dreams comes along Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder It seems so unlikely in this day and age She's got an alright job but it's not a career Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears 'Cause all she wants is a boyfriend, she gets one night stands She's thinking how did I get here, I'm doing all that I can It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say 'Til the man of her dreams comes along Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder It seems so unlikely in this day and age It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say 'Til the man of her dreams comes along Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder It seems so unlikely in this day and age

You say you're going but you don't say how long for You say it's work but I'm not sure You say you love me then you walk right out the door I'm left here wanting more Of course there's lots of things I could be getting on with I'm never short of thing to do This afternoon I made a papier-mache fish, mum I made it just for you Please don't go Stay here with me It's not my fault I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three My social calendar is busier than yours I've been out making lots of friends You can't play with us, 'cause your always off on tour One day I hope you'll meet them Please don't go Stay here with me It's not my fault I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three When things feel black and white We'll do some coloring in When you want to play When you want to play with me When things feel black and white We'll do some coloring in When you want to play When you want to play with me Please don't go (please don't go) Stay here with me (here with me) It's not my fault I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three I'm only three

Time on your side that will never end The most beautiful thing you can ever spend But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it Drifting apart like a plate tectonic It don't matter to me 'Cause all I wanted to be Was a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar Too much time spent dragging the past up I didn't see you not looking when I messed up Settling down in your early twenties Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist It don't matter to me 'Cause all I wanted to be Is a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home Great rulers make for greater glory The only thing growing is our history Knock me down, I'll get right back up again I'll come back stronger than a powered up Pac-Man It don't matter to me 'Cause all I wanted to be Was a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home And oh my God, I can't believe it I've never been this far away from
