My Songs Suck

Who's that friendly face?! This week the boys talk with Aiden Bradley and see what he's been up to in the year since we last heard from him!

'Ignore Me' Lyrics:

My inbox is empty, and I'm out of friends

Woke up hurting again this morning, but it's all in my head

Empty shows and broken bones, these are the dreams we fought for

No money in my hands, no fuel in my tank

No one up on the dance floor

Turn your back and count to eight

and hope I go away

Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one

Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done

My nerves are on fire and my brain is fucked

But that's the way it goes

Try so hard to grab your attention

but it all goes up in smoke

I've got as much hype as I'm allowed

If it was gonna happen, it would've happened by now

Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one

Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done

We can't live on royalty cheques

but we're all right

Our rent is always late

but we'll be fine

Can't seem to catch a break

but we'll get by

Can't afford another mistake

so please just try

Go ahead and ignore me, it's not like you'd be the only one

Tell me I need to be patient when you've no idea what I've done

The boys are back in the saddle with another terrible song! This time accompanied by our righteous podcast father, Zane!

Flowers in a Letter Lyrics:

Intro

-Laughter-

Verse 1

Society dictates that we are weird

But quite frankly I love it

A normal person would ease it in

But jigger me, you shove it

Pre chorus

I love the way that we work in the sense we kind of don’t

I love the way that you put things in places they just won’t

CHORUS

Cos I’m your servant, you’re my master

You got the picture faster

Than the last person who had me on the chain

Misery makes me happy

And you’re paying attention I see

Cos no-one out there’s better at causing me pain

But don’t refrain

Cos I love it

Pop shove it

Verse 2

What I love about you is your mind

Imagination beyond belief

You come up with such creative ways

To cause me such grief

Can I just say the best way for a

guy to get his kicks

Throw away your inhibitions

Get a five foot dominatrix

Pre chorus

As you were yanking on my chain, I felt something new

To my surprise I’d found that I’d fallen in love with you

I told you that I love you but you shut that down quick

That night I felt the sore end of a flaming candle stick!

CHORUS

Cos I’m your servant, you’re my master

Crack the whip and I’ll go faster

I got rubber corsets on the brain

I sent you flowers in a letter

You screamed ‘Goddamn you better

not try that again!’

And I won’t try that again

Bridge

You’re in control and you know it

I love you but I can’t show it

In this day and age, it’d be too weird

The cause of my depression

Is that you are under the impression

That a mistress has got to be feared

(But never the less!)

CHORUS

Cos I’m your slave and you’re my mistress

And I’m in distress

I am scared that this is how it’s gonna go

This song is not a plea

It’s just so you’re on the same page as me

And one day you might love me back (ooo)

One day you might love me back (ooo)

One day you might love me back you never know

You never know

-Laughing-

Shooting star lyrics

Finding next piece ain’t as easy as it seems where do we go from here?

So many pieces left, only one space to fit them in, tear it all apart and start again

My world is spinning around so fast going to throw me off

Into the setting sun

When you finally shown I’ll be able to let go

Fall off this world into your arms

And the pieces of the puzzle will fit back together again, you and me and a shooting star

All the other times the only blood spilt was mine now somethings gotta give

It’s time to make that change time to start again, time to escape

And I ask myself am I having enough fun or is my youth being wasted by my young

When you finally shown I’ll be able to let go

Fall off this world into your arms

And the pieces of the puzzle will fit back together again, you and me and a shooting star

The Gale Lyrics:

VERSE 1

Father please forgive me

For I must have sinned

Please explain

You promised you would shield us

From your icy wind

Have my prayers been in vein?

Are you even there?

CHORUS

Cos the rain came down

Pelted from the sky

And the gale shook my bones

And when my father’s on the roof

And my mom is crying in the next room

And she’s crying

She’s crying

She’s crying

VERSE 2

I’ve called myself an angel

So strip me of my wings

But honestly what could I have done?

To warrant such abandonment

Even after everything

I hope, I hope I’m the only one

Sacred arms have closed

And heaven’s shut it’s door

Cast me down, cast me down

The world continues turning

Jack don’t care anymore

Just leave me lying here

I know you will

CHORUS

Cos the rain came down

And lightning split the sky

And the gale shook my bones

And when my father’s on the roof

And my mom is crying in the next room

And she’s crying

She’s crying

She’s crying

-Solo-

BRIDGE

I’m gonna spend my life doing it right

So I can greet you personally

That’s a guarantee, you’d better wait for me!

La la la la la etc

VERSE 3

Father please forgive me

For I must have sinned

Tell me true

What could I have done to make you turn from me?

Could it be I turned from you?

CHORUS

Cos the rain came down

Yeah and thunder shook the ground

And there I was all alone

And when my father’s on the roof

And my mom is crying in the next room

And she’s crying

She’s crying

She’s crying

After months of garbage songs, out of nowhere, young Alex hits the steep learning curve and spits out an adequate song! A loving pastiche of AC/DC

Intoxication Lyrics:

VERSE

It’s in my veins, it’s in my stream

It’s in my system and it’s working like a dream

Could chase away my conflicts quite easily

But everyday I make sure to take ‘em with me

CHORUS

Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)

Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)

My momma always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well

But mine burns within me like the fires of hell

Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)

Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)

My papa always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well

But mine burns within me like the fires of hell

Ooo intoxication

VERSE

Can lift me up but mostly keeps me down

At distribution I’m the best in town

It’s an addiction but its keeps me out of troubler

Could nurse one for an hour ooo make mine a double

Cos when I get that feeling I can be mean or nice

But just to get there, name your price

Cos when I’m in the zone consequences slip away

It’s just me and my mind and what I wanna say

BRIDGE

Everything just slips away

And if I could have my way

I’d be like this everyday

CHORUS

Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)

Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)

My momma always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well

But mine burns within me like the fires of hell

Intoxication (it’s the force that drives me)

Sweeping the nation (burning deep inside me)

My papa always ignore your cravings, you’ll do well

But mine burns within me like the fires of hell

The fire’s the reason that I’m doing so well

Is it such a crime to prefer to be under?

Now if you don’t mind, I’ll solo while you wonder

(Hit me now! Yeah!)

Intoxication

(Don't) Call Me Pretty Lyrics

Last time I said it's no one or him

I was alone for two long years

Baby, that made me cry

Last time I said darling you're the one

Next thing I know he was up and gone

Baby, that made me shy

Call me pretty call me pretty

and i'll do anything

say you love me, say you love me

and you can watch me running

dont call me pretty don't call me pretty

if it dont mean nothing

youll drive me crazy drive me crazy

if it dont mean nothing

last time i said i've had enough

i was a fool i was in love

baby that made me cry

my little heart is so naive

my hopes get high and then you leave

baby i'm not gonna try

Call me pretty call me pretty

and i'll do anything

say you love me, say you love me

and you can watch me running

dont call me pretty don't call me pretty

if it dont mean nothing

youll drive me crazy drive me crazy

if it dont mean nothing

A gut-wrenchingly cringey show this week. Our boys must endure a truly ridiculous song featuring lazy metaphors, spoken word sections and the most Nice Guy shit you've ever heard!

Like Bastard Like Son Lyrics

VERSE

Two figures sit alone

At a table playing chess

In the space far outside the world

One of the men

Has a burn across his chest

And thus our tale unfurls

The man in white

Shook his head

‘Worst game I’ve ever seen’

As the man in black

In one fell swoop

Took the white man’s queen

‘I’ll get her back’

Said the white man

As he banged his fist on the table

‘Of course you can’

said the black man

‘That is, if you’re able

For two times now I’ve taken your queen’

He leant back in his chair

‘Why don’t you just forget her?’

At this the white man stood up and

Knocked the chess board off it’s stand

He gazed in awe at his right hand

Where a burn mark was growing

The man in black begun to laugh

‘My virus has begun to graft

To the external tools of your craft

Your weakness my son is showing’

‘What have you done to me?’

Through gritted teeth

The white man cried in pain

‘I’ve done to you what’s done to me

My son, you cry in vain’

The white man fell to the floor

Hand to his throbbing breast

You cannot begin to comprehend

The pain now in his chest

‘You see, I’ve got this virus’

The man in black began

‘And before it inevitably kills me,

I thought I’d go out with a bang.

It’s a mix of bitterness,

Jealousy, selfishness and hate.

Of cynicism, malice

And that vengeful twist of fate.

Know that your heart and my disease

Have easily become one

I’m glad that I’m the one to say…

You’re going to hell my son

No matter how you fear

You’re going to hell my son

Your time is nearly here’

’Stop that now!’

‘You are condemned’

‘I’m not like you!’

‘To hell my friend

You’re going to hell my son’

‘Enough! I am my own man!

And I am not your son!’

‘Haha Oh really?

Erin, Diana, Emma, Joana

Your opinions, your minions

Your cold hearted deeds!

YOU’RE FURTHER ALONG THAN ME!

Further along than me!

You’re going to hell my son

You’re going to hell my son

Oh you can try, but when you die

You’re going to hell my son’

The man in white

Closed his eyes

He felt his world slipping away

He only held on long enough

To hear the black man say

‘You’re going to hell my son

No matter how you wish

You’re going to hell my son

Soon you will be finished’

And then the world was black

Until the voices of everyone the white man loved reached him

He body was bathed in a white hot light that pierced the darkness

And slowly he was pulled back from the brink of oblivion

When the man in white came to, the man in black was gone

Either chased away or destroyed by the light

He walked over to the chessboard

And saw that the man in back had taken all of his pieces, leaving only white

‘Hmm’

As the white man turned to leave,

he heard the sound of a thick liquid being disturbed

He lifted his shoe to his face

His sole wa-BLACK!!!

VERTIGO Lyrics

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

[Verse 1]

Let's start again, we know where this is going 'cause it happens every time

(happens every time)

You'll shout, I'll leave and somehow you'll believe it will never be goodbye

(never be goodbye)

[Pre-Chorus]

I just feel lovesick, sick of this waking up again, again and again

[Chorus]

You got me spinning around and around

And when I pick myself up I fall down

It's like there's something between us and I don't know why

I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh

You give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

[Verse 2]

What's that? Yeah right, remember every fight when you compared me to your ex

(compared me to your ex)

We kiss, make up

But then you cover up your phone, for every single text

(every single text)

[Pre-Chorus]

I just feel lovesick, sick of this getting back together again, again and again

[Chorus]

You got me spinning around and around

And when I pick myself up I fall down

It's like there's something between us and I don't know why

I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh

You give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

[Bridge]

You got me spinning around and around

And when I pick myself up I fall down

It's like I'm searching for something I thought that I found

You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

[Chorus]

You got me spinning around and around

And when I pick myself up I fall down

It's like there's something between us and I don't know why

I'm spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh

You give me vertigo

Oh woah oh, Oh woah oh, oh!

You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo

You got me spinning around and around, you give me vertigo
