This week Alex runs with the likes of Dylan! Surely Alex's first protest song is a hit right? Right?

Verse

There’s something wrong in the world today

Something worth singing monotonously about

Our environmental white knight Peter garret

And the fact that he’s completely sold out

It used to be that you couldn’t sleep

While our beds were burning at night

But you must have new flame retardant pyjamas

Cos you seem to be doing alright

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard

Do you remember the time when you sung about asbestos?

And do you remember the time when you sung about mining?

But that was before you sold your soul to satan

Verse 2

There was a time when it didn’t cross your mine

That selling the great barrier reef was fine

But I guess things have changed because

You approved a uranium mine

You used to know what your beliefs were

But you strayed from the path

All you’ve got now is a pocket of cash

And a bleeding heart

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard

Do you remember the time when you promised not to be a politician?

It never was a written law

But the things that you said lead us to assume you wouldn’t be one

We shouldn’t have assumed

-solo-

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard

LYRICS

Verse 1

'Yes you can take my plate’

‘Tell me how was your day?’

‘Douse me in water cos baby you’re hot’

These are all things that I wanna say

The food here is really good

And it’s cool that you serve it too

Ride the ski lift with me to the mountains peak

Cos there’s something that I need to do

Prechorus

Man your smile send shivers down my spine

It’s been six days and you’re toeing that line

Chorus

That twenty-something vixen

has got me skiing blind

Cos as I’m racing down the slope

she’s racing through my mind

She’s cleaning glasses while we’re falling on our asses

This is one skit trip I’ll never forget

Cos she’s the hottest waitress I’ve ever met!

I’ve ever met.

Guitar solo

Ah ah yeah

Ah ah yeah

Bridge

Her eyes they penetrate me

Her skinny jeans really do it for me

And her hair is black and silky

And she’s got a piercing

Yeah

Chorus

That twenty-something vixen

has got me skiing blind

Cos as I’m racing down the slope

she’s racing through my mind

She’s cleaning glasses while we’re falling on our asses

This is one skit trip I’ll never forget

Cos she’s the hottest waitress I’ve ever met!

I’ve ever met.

With a face like that

There’s no way you’re not taken

But that’s cool

Cos you make kick-ass bacon

(Left) Coffee, toast and eggs and steak burgers. Pies and chips. Chicken wedges fish and chips and Spag Bol. Spam and dips

(Right) Coffee, toast and eggs and steak. Burgers soup and pies and ???

The food you make is bitchin’

Now get back in the kitchen

LYRICS

I wanted to give you the world 

Everything good for free 

I cry myself to sleep at night 

I wake up on the floor 

I let you walk away every night 

After we say goodbye 

Even though I’m breathing 

Doesn’t mean, oh no 

There’s only air inside 

I would never hurt you 

But now you’ll never know 

I know I’m not pretty outside or inside 

But I still hurt when you say goodbye 

That’s not good enough for you 

You need something false I hate 

I won’t change myself for you

The slowest song ever madeeeeeee! Autotune that would put T-Pain to shame!

Troubled Waters Lyrics

Verse 1

Keep it down

Keep them all down

Cos when the wind is rushing through my hair

The sound drowns you out

Look around and see

This aint how it’s meant to be

You’ve shattered my assumptions

Of life and family

Prechorus

And I don’t know where I’m going

Trying to forget where I’ve been

The mask has finished falling

And now I’ll have to confess what I’ve seen

Chorus

Troubled waters

Are trying to swallow me

But I’ll fight tooth and nail

To keep my sanity

Things just aren’t the same

Everybody’s torn

Abnormal appears to be the norm

Verse 2

Stay out there

Stay away from me

I’m safe in here behind my eyes

From your dishonesty

Things were fine

And then

It all went to hell again

There is no silver lining

It’s the reason that I pretend

Prechorus

And I don’t know what I’m doing

Trying to forget what I’ve done

The trauma’s broken through and

The only option I have is to run

Chorus

Troubled waters

Are trying to swallow me

But I’ll fight tooth and nail

To keep my sanity

Things just aren’t the same

Everybody’s torn

Abnormal appears to be the norm

-Solo-

Chorus

Troubled waters

Couldn’t swallow me

I fought tooth and nail

Now I know victory

Things still aren’t the same

But they’re getting warm

Abnormal appears to be the norm

Cone on out

Speak to me

Beach in Winter Lyrics

Surfboard’s ready

The sun’s woken up

Fuel injection

Power engine

Hanging five

Alone I ride

The beach in winter’s too cold

Going steady

Ever ready

Wave the line

Riding fine

Frosty weather

Never better

The beach in winter’s all right

Aloha to this endless summer

The bug that never seems to die

Or fly away, it’s here to stay

Doing the wipe out all night long

Raining over

Never bolder

Hanging five

Doing fine

Frosty weather

Never better

Raining over

Never bolder

Hanging five

Doing fine

Frosty weather

Never better

The boys butt heads on this song! Check out another episode live from the room where it happened!

Perfect Hands Lyrics

If my world ended today

Would you go back to his?

Cos there you always seemed so happy

A feeling you don’t seem to get from this

And I know that I’m not perfect

But we had that talk and left it in the past

But now it’s begun to grind all around inside my mind

Cos the talk was bout the reasons that we can’t

And honey, you’re everything I need

It took too long for both of us to see

I would never leave your side

At least that is the plan

But the question still remains

‘Would you return to his perfect hands?’

I should’ve known that’s how it goes

Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose

I did it wrong now everyone knows

Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose

I should’ve known that’s how it goes

Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose

I did it wrong now everyone knows

Love can’t be shown through the thorn of a rose

-Solo-

It’s not my fault, I’m not being cynical

You changed the game when you made it something clinical

I’m not an expert but that’s what you get

When you make a choice that you happen to regret

Cos my world ended today and you didn’t go back to his

And it might not be ok but I’m ok with this

Because….

This week we are sans James but we are lucky to speak to the incomparable Emma Dean!

Universal Models Lyrics:

I worked with this model man

On my first day I wanted to leave

Dress this way, act that way, like ‘a bimbo’

That’s how you’re meant to be

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

Don’t look there, look at my eyes

They’re blinded by how ‘cool’ it is in here

Cool blue halter neck and white see-through pants

is what I fear

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

(Oh I, I wanna get out)

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

(Oh I, I wanna get out)

CHORUS

Oh I, I wanna get out

And I don’t know how and I don’t know where

‘Universal Models’ oh now what is that about?

“Can I help you?”

Oh I, I wanna get out

And I don’t know how and I don’t know where

‘Universal Models’ oh now what is that about?

“Can I help you out?”

So by my third day my eyes were so glazy

Closed over by some shallow man

“Lose weight, think quick,

and get a tan”

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

(Oh I, I wanna get out)

And I, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me…

(Oh I, I wanna get out)

CHORUS

Oh I hate you all

I wanna get my slow revenge

Every little inch of you

Must be broken, broken up so badly

Gotta gotta get out gotta gotta get gotta gotta get out etc

“Universal Models, can I help you?”

This week the boys dip a toe into the world of cringey high school rap!

This Good-For-Nothing Town Lyrics

Verse 1

Have you ever heard of chronic depression? I think I’ll use this session

to admit a little confession, to inform of you my

gradual progression, that is a simple regression

Deep into the open arms of unnatural obsession

But I ask you to excuse my discretion in this jam session

Well, rap session, but this level of expression

And sharing my feelings can bestow upon my listeners

An unexplained sense of aggression

To me and mine, so if it’s fine

I’ll take my time busting this rhyme

Sorry about that corny line

But this is my first time

Chorus

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

With the most exciting place in it being

A karaoke place with the songs in Korean

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

Verse 2

And it’s not that I’m a bad guy

I always used to think I

Was everybody’s white knight

Turns out I’m just a wise guy

Self-Deprecating small fry

I’m still dominated by

These visions form my past

that everyone has left behind

If I could get an MRI

If you could see in my mind’s eye

The monster that, within me hides

God damn, you’d call the FBI

Till then I guess I’ll have to try to

Cut the damn water supply

Say my prayers, try to get by

Until some decent help arrives

Chorus

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

With the most exciting place in it being

A karaoke place with the songs in Korean

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Well I guess that’s all you need to know

I hope that you enjoyed the show

But take this in before you go

Got a problem? Let it go

The past can get you, I would know

It takes my pain, makes it grow

Even decides where I go

Hell I’m like it’s puppet show

And this all cliche, I know

It’s bitchy, whiney, even so

This tortoure Is my status quo

But I’ve only got months to go!

And no amount of Tae Kwon Do

Crappy paintings by Van Gogh

Trips out to the picture show!

Can change what I intensely know

Life will pick up when I go

Or I don’t know myself head to toe

One more thing before I go

This is Alex blood type O

Chorus

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

With the most exciting place in it being

A karaoke place with the songs in Korean

I’m sick of feeling down

Sick of this life, it’s button down

Just take a freaking look around

At this good for nothing town

Outro

I’m sick of feeling down

I’m sick of feeling down
