Lyrics - Kerbdog albums

[Phily]

Album: Kerbdog/Totally Switched

I remembered I scanned the lyrics of Kerbdog's first album for Memson here.  Decided to play around with a OCR program and these popped out enjoy and feel free to proof read as I'm sure its not 100% correct.

1. END OF GREEN
Why wait for me and no one else
Save him so I just don't care
The weight of the world can only drown him
Sufferance is seen and only found when
Try leave the time to turn around
Save me for I just don't care
The weight of the world can only drown him

Cheap a threat as you can feel
Open mind and open will
To reach right in and self applaud
Close the eye and back for more
Even you know you're not right
Try again, try on mine

Try take a rule and turn it down
Save him so I just don't care
The weight of the world can only drown him
Sufferance is seen and only found when
Dry waste of time and time again
Save me for I just don't care
The weight of the world can only drown him

Cheap a threat as you can feel
Open mind and open will
To reach right in and self applaud
Close the eye and back for more
Even you know you're not right
Try again, try on mine

All I know is
History repeats itself
Heaven knows of no one in the next will
End of green

2. DRY RISER
I see a witness
Cover my tracks and there'll be no inquest
I see their hate list
Take me ashore and I'll do my damndest
Bringing my head down
Oh not if I have to
They will never take me down
No way
They still can stand by the old crown
Oh not if I have to
Language stays in its own town
Not me

Red is white - or unbright
Comes to me when in sight
Come and pray - not today
They'll be there on your side

Try to take a rest from your old ways
Help all and test for your old name
Drive 'til your arms are unfreed
For not is it easy

I hear my name said
Cover my track 'til we've found a regress
I dream of hatred
Take me ashore and I'll do my fecking damndest
Damndest bringing my head down
Oh not if I have to
They will never take me down
No way
They still stand by the old crown
Oh not if I have to
Language stays in its own town
Not me

Red is white - or unbright
Comes to me when in sight
Come and pray - not today
They'll be there on your side

3. DEAD AWAY
I welcome you to
A myriad of lies
Try wash your hands of all this
And I'll give you some time
Heed not what you read
Leave them and say
I'll see you there soon
But another way

Rest leave it to me
What's got from it all
Look I never dream
Watch you're gonna fall
Help look for a reason I can't stay
Help look for a reason I can change

You're working far below
Look up and see
I said I'd be here sometime
But you wouldn't believe
Don't matter anyway
Neither today
I said I'd be here soon
Dead anyway

Rest leave it to me
What's got from it all
Look I never dream
Watch you're gonna fall
Help look for a reason I can't stay

4. CLEAVER
Hate builds inside of me
Stay away, I have the key
Close your eyes, what do you see
It walks the earth like a new idea
Buy the toys, I can count to ten
'Cos big brother gets his own way again
Gets to my head
Now they're all dead
The colour seems white
I see him at night

Come home, your daddy's dead
It's alright, they took his head
Settle down before too long
They'll be back and you'll be gone
Save yourself on your own
Get away from your back door

Gets to my head
Now they're all dead
The colour seems white
I see him at night

5. EARTHWORKS
New town
Lies in the way
Head down
While lasts the day

You don't walk this way
They won't give you no more of freedom
See you soon, I just can't stay (no)
Save yourself 'cause I am leaving

Hell's here
Tearing me apart
No fear of losing any dark
Faceless fiends of heaven sent
Burns my brain for every cent

Brain her
He said
Drain her
Till dead

You don't walk this way
They won't give you no more of freedom
See you soon, I just can't stay (no)
Save yourself 'cause I am leaving

No I, I can't stay
No I can't stay
No I, I can't stay
No I, I can't stay
No I...

6. DUMMY CRUSHER
Stop it
Hey!!
You can't piss on me
Or over here
Or leave a light on in the regimental field
You relieve yourself
Or someone else
So stop jumping 'round to the regimental dead
Troops of fecking white
Have all the right
To undermine the reason for the undermining fight
You realise it too
They're blaming you
For two timing threats of a non-existent war

Take that time you
Live in sin
I forgot to
Let it in
Strange it may seem
I'm alright
Live your own scheme

For why can't you try
And realise it just can't stay to win
My test to resist only then can a new wave begin
For why can't you try
And realise it just can't stay to win
My test to resist only then can a new wave begin

7. THE INSEMINATOR
You're the one I love to score
Don't give me any reason 'cause I got more
Hey don't make that same mistake
Don't give me any reason 'cause I will fake

Red is my head
Just what I've said
Wait for the time
Tear down the line

Fear I have got none today
Don't give me any reasons or I will say
Time I haven't much to spend
Don't give me any reason or I will send

End that's what you've done for them
Don't give me any reason for a new friend
Mends I have got none to make
Don't give me any reason 'cos I'm not afraid

8. CLOCK
Take a stare, don't let it in - soon
Hey beware there's pain within - soon

I believe whoever's seen it yet
Who's dead this time
I can see a fear of deep regret
Who's dead this time

Time has gone my head to clear - soon
None's forgot, just let him in - soon
Pay they will for all they did
True for no remains

Feel my nerves are caving in for it's all dead

Take a stare, don't let it in - soon
Hey beware there's pain within - soon
Lying still you have been saved
True for we aren't yet
Hey beware there's pain within
Soon we'll be there

I believe whoever's seen it yet
Who's dead this time
I can see a fear of deep regret
Who's dead this time

I believe whoever's seen it yet
Who's dead this time
I can see a fear of deep regret
Who's dead this time

I can see who's dead
Nerves are caving in
True for we aren't yet
True for we aren't yet

I can see who's dead
Nerves are caving in
True for we aren't yet
Remain

9. SCHISM
I'll burn a fire to stay cool
I'll wear the mask of a fool
I never said that I'd be cruel
So in turn I'm true

Try a door just to leave
Try my eyes just to see
Stay near to watch me seeth
I can remain

New reasons coming out
And stepping out of the crowd

New meaning leave a key
I'll find my own way out
What I mean

I'll burn a fire to stay cool
I'll wear the mask of a fool
I never said that I'd be cruel
So in turn I'm true

Try a door just to leave
Try my eyes just to see
Stay near to watch me seeth
I can remain

10. SCRAM
I have you
For figure use
Hold my spirit, it's all wet
You take them
I've the rest
Wanted this not before
After all I'll hit the floor

Dry yourself to death
Safe from all the rest
Dress her up in black
Time around the track

Drive the car over the highway
Head it straight and into the wall
You've got to steer a shot over at my way
Help us both and we'll end it all

Flames of hell - burn my nails
Hold my spirit, it's all wet
You take them, I've the rest
After all I'll take the floor

1. Sally
If I had a clue and a room, I would need a car to get you home tonight again
Oh yeah again.
Got to get your hearing right or the fright,
Never know what you're getting into now again
Oh yeah again.
So you tell me lend me an ear, you're to hear,
I'm the one and only hand that you can hold again.
Oh yeah again.
Not to say a bird in the hand should be glad,
Some small mercies all you will ever have again
Oh yeah again.

So the stakes couldn't make,
I don't need the help of you.
Could you try out of sight?
For I haven't got a clue,
Haven't got what it takes to.
Got it wrong Sally's won.
Denim suits get it.
That's just what I was told and I don't care if I was sold.
So you were right, Sally flied.
I don't know what to hit.
I accept and can take the blame.
Can you fake when the fake is lame?

Changing round I have found,
Whether you're in can only leave you drowned again.
Oh yeah again.
Get the message loud and clear for my dear,
Places I will go to lumber with my gear again.
Oh yeah again.

If you need a little help to move let me know.
Cause hardly I can wait to say to you let it go.
Vilify me if it makes the cut turn you on.
And I'm sure by the time you gain.

2. J.J.'S Song
Handy it's for you even though you're not supposed to.
Go away Sue fool Sue.
With a smile at your creation of a mass anticipation.
Go away Sue, go on Sue.
Give a milder man his place to give a silencer it's grace to.
Go-ahead Sue, go on Sue.

Try to get it straight,
I'm in action and I hate it.
Can I write my eager list with a message on the end?
You can reach me at the station,
I will swear to keep you waiting.
Am I joking?
Am I hell.
I'm a user and I'm closer.

It's a silly kind of meaning,
I can see sense in your reason.
Go away fool, away fool.
Either way to be tight fisted other means have been enlisted.
In your name fool, name fool.
Take a second to decide if you and I are going to croak
If you are maimed fool, maimed fool.

So let it go, lady leave it out.
Oh why cause I read so.
Caught you on the ground again and it looks so.
Fully is the fake without any cuts show.
Filling in the time before.
About time.
They convince you to agonise.
Take a cut when you get the prize.
About time.
Make a limp cause he's at the door
With a splint you can ask for more.
About time.
Press eject when the fund it ends,
Then again on the gravy train.
About time.

Did it up I tried to qualify a lie to hurt you.
Go ahead Sue, go on Sue.
Be a dear and say to no one never know you might be told on.
Go ahead Sue, go on Sue.
I am always by your side to tell a lie if I'm allowed to.
Go-ahead Sue, go on Sue.

3. Didn't Even Try
So after all you never kid yourself alone.
See you standing senile ever overblown.
I knew a chance of changing back would re-appear again.
But I can jump right over you say when.
Tell me driver I can't seem to understand,
Better be the leader than to hold the major's hand.
Looking forward I can see a happy tree;
A normal unaffected family.

So what d'you mean?
You didn't even try.
But it's alright with me,
I can hold myself, I know myself.
Hold on tight and you can feel the strain.
But it's alright with me, I can change.

Driving by,
Hello, remember me amour?
I'm the dandy member that you once adored.
Mirrored in the window underneath a sunny glare.
A reflection only you could bear.
Never ending nightmares you present to me.
Knowing that the problem is the problem that I see.
Certain self control preventing unashamed from doing what I might regret again.

3. Mexican Wave
Hello, I'm the same boy.
The one you left behind.
And if you find disturbing I will eagerly rewind.
Knowing what's important,
Is everything OK?
Slowing down was helpful but if only it was when.
All is said and done with the blame you would've hung.
To be building all these years.
What amounts to, amounts to.
Fear of reinvention discolouring your eyes.
If I can stare right through them who am I to recognise?
Ailment in the full.
Fully blown's the way it looks.
Can I make my meaning clear?
No attention to attention.

Hey Billy yes it's me.
Come around we'll have a field day;
A relay around the back.
Hey Billy ain't this sweet?
I can't try to find a reason to give you any slack.
Hey Billy hang around.
I've a little box of raisins found.
And if you like I can make you feel alright and undone.

Now it's not so easy,
Waiting baited breath.
Fearing for the day when the voices in my head.
Giving up instructions,
Intelligence is claimed.
Leading up a garden path of where to who knows when.
All is said and done with the blame you would've hung.
To be building all these years.
What amounts to amounts to.

Head's spinning round.
I can hardly touch the ground.
If I stand by your side would you mend?

4. Severed
So you won't even pay the fare.
I'll hit you with my change gun.
Having got the whole thing right.
I won't meet the test of time.
With your hair and your soft-top shoes I could never be you.
Unending routes have been severed;
Aboard you've all been tethered.

Only with the grace allowed thee.
Turn this bus around before we run the rim that's in our way.
Below we lie, below we dive today.

Collect ticket skinhead you try it on.
Pull the other with the bells on.
You can smoke your smoke outside.
Dragging hard against the tide.
Wipe your feet if you want to stay in.
Does it matter when your lungs fill?
Regarding the rules have been severed.
Aboard you've all been tethered.

Don't you make a sound.
I'll stop it any time you pay me.
I can't hold this course.
Did I tell you stand?
Did I say that anyone could touch me?
I can't hold this course.
Pity about your friends.
Pity that none of them could save face.
I can't hold this course.
Did you touch the brake?
Did you touch anything?
I said no.
I can't hold it.
I can't make you see.

5. Pledge
Take stock of your time and ability.
Make room for the noise on your page.
Can't give enough.
Can't give enough.
I'm the man with the means and the influence.
I will leave you alone in my own time.
Can't give enough.
Can't give enough.
So you rank with the names on the underground.
They hope to see a sign of me falling down.
Knock, knock, knock.
Knocking on my windowsill.
Another sweet reminder just to pay the bill.
I can't see the jokes.
Am I hearing right?
I can't see the point of this circle tight.
Can we hang around?
We won't say a word.
Remember it's us now.

Conditioned not to wait,
I intended to be late.
Take stock of your time and ability.
Make room for the noise on your page.
Trust you not to learn,
When the tables turned.
The tables turned.

Substandard sounds stand and take a bow.
Pat each other's back, oh really?
Can't you feel it now?
You can blow your trumpet I don't have to listen in.
Unfortunate like mine it's just another din.
Easily misread, easily mistook.
Read about yourself when you create a look.
We can manage to run on our own stream
Remember it's us now.

All the stories I told you couldn't hear me.
All the things that you wrote you wouldn't teach me.
Every word that you say I am believing.
Even I was aware you didn't need me.
I told you nothing.
I know the words have got no meaning.

6. On The Turn
I can't seem to think straight.
I know I've had a little much too...
Am I over acting this time?
I know.
So give me a try,
Could you have a little patience?
I know, I really didn't mean it.
You're the limit on the inside.
At least it's on the turn.

Leaning over from behind.
Work on the assumption.
Wrecking heads.
I will comply.

I don't mind if you don't speak.
Do I care for your retreat?
Will you let me come around, oh yeah.
Pucker up it couldn't hurt you.
Let me go and then I'll work you.
Simmer down.
We'll struggle in the end.

I can't seem to walk straight.
I know I've had a little much too...
Am I over acting this time?
I know.
So give me a try,
Could you have a little patience?
I know, I really didn't mean it.
You're the limit on the inside.
At least it's on the turn.
We have to lean over from behind.
Work on the assumption.
Wrecking heads.
I will comply to your lame suggestion.
Spinning is the face I see.
Is it your complexion?
I know that the joke's on me when it's my reflection.

7. Secure
It' a different kind of bleeding that makes the fear react.
And if I could try to make some sense I'm sure that you'd relax.
In answer to the question asked,
I hope that my reply relieves you of the tension here if only for a while.
And I will help get you out.
You're not home but you've got to know to.

See me see me smile,
Cause I don't think I got things right this time.
Guess who's in control now that I managed just to clear my eyes?
Maybe I'm a goner but at least I've tried to work it out.
Ain't you feeling happy when you're on your own?

It's a different kind of cold now,
You've just come in the room.
If you or I could gain some ground then neither'd be the fool.
But you insist on teasing me,
Gets closer to the bone.
And if I can't be responsible if I am left
If I am left.

Short change shooter,
It can only get you flack.
And if I said that I was sorry would you let me take it back?
How do you know?
So do you care?
Now that what we've got was never meant to be.
Always ends up beat.

Up on the roof.
An angel next to me.
Cos I saw your face in a magazine.
Show me the eyes you know that I despise.
The joke decides the way that you or I will...
Deal with this or help yourself to more.
Thanks a lot I'll show you to the door.
See me, see me smile cause I don't think I'm born to get things right.
Guess who's in control?
I just cleared my eyes.

8. Lesser Shelf
Every time a day goes by Bridie comes to mind.
Maybe cause I'm stupid or irate.
I'd rather face the future with undefective eyes.
Cause I can see no solace in the past.

Bridie had a friend she couldn't keep.
Crooked was the eye that failed to see.
Dad was a drunk who never knew the state of the man that he got to.
Sat on the edge of a lesser shelf.
The man only lived cause he knew.
No tape parade and no fuss made.
The dead beats allowed and I'm so proud.

Think of now old loves old friends,
Old meanings pass us by.
All your tricks don't interest me at all.
Every other dealing done with every other high,
Sends me right back waiting for a chance.

Facing fact is none to bad with curtains on my side.
Happy now that what was done's denied.
Never mind the seed has gone through coloured glass I see.
Hoping that you see yourself in me.
On a lesser shelf.
On a lesser shelf.
On a lesser shelf.
On a lesser shelf.
On a lesser shelf.
On a lesser shelf.
On a lesser shelf.
On a lesser shelf.
No tape parade and no fuss made.
The dead beats allowed and I'm so proud.

9. Pointless
Seven times I rang you, seven times you said you were bored.
How do I know by the tone in your voice you will be there?
Time enough I've humoured thoughts that situations change.
Help me to know because all I will drop just to be there.

So why are you taut and confusing?
I heard that once.
Nothing comes between.
Did you see the sun outside today?
Burning the bridges I made yesterday.
Memory serves me never quite so well.
So I broke it.
I fell.

Tried and tried to listen hard and gave you all I had.
Back in the face and the bile I could taste in your reasons.
Save for him all your frivolous chat and I'm sure for your reward,
A house of your own and a book full of nuns to remember.

What you know is just a lie.
I wouldn't tell you what to do for me.
I have what's best inside. I saw the man your eye's on.
We're so weird it hurts and I don't even mind if that's all the plan.
I'm fully careless with this.

10. Rewind
Seven times I rang you, seven times you said you were bored.
How do I know by the tone in your voice you will be there?
Time enough I've humoured thoughts that situations change.
Help me to know because all I will drop just to be there.

So why are you taut and confusing?
I heard that once.
Nothing comes between.
Did you see the sun outside today?
Burning the bridges I made yesterday.
Memory serves me never quite so well.
So I broke it.
I fell.

Tried and tried to listen hard and gave you all I had.
Back in the face and the bile I could taste in your reasons.
Save for him all your frivolous chat and I'm sure for your reward,
A house of your own and a book full of nuns to remember.

What you know is just a lie.
I wouldn't tell you what to do for me.
I have what's best inside. I saw the man your eye's on.
We're so weird it hurts and I don't even mind if that's all the plan.
I'm fully careless with this.

11. Sorry For The Record
See all the places that you liked.
Careers have wasted all your life.
Never need to understand what's yours is mine,
Intact my plan.
Cover over creases that you see with another claim of disbelief.
You're a star that just won't fade.
With that being said my mind is made.

Of all the faces we forgot to hold the hand that fed us well.
Sorry for the record let us down again.
Of all the faces we forgot to hold the hand that fed us well.
Sorry for the record let us down.

Killing my useless train of thought.
Have all these heirlooms that were brought.
In an air of self-disgrace my mouth is dry despite your wine.
Rewrite the verses of them all.
Would you expect to fly or fall?
Red or rouge you just can't see,
Among the rest you find is me.

And I'm laughing.
Every penny that you can make.
We will pander to your spoken words.
God I'm feeling great.
That's a beautiful coat you are wearing out,
Deserving of nothing less.
You couldn't tell if it smacked you in the face.
Grateful, grateful never.

LYRICS:

Intro:
------------

I am free to stand
break the fall of you
with my grudging hand
nothing left to prove
hope i've seen the light
when i'm on my own
not to live to fight
but to call my own



i'm saved
yeahh

my
life


friend i have no more
gone all of is clean
school is closed for sure
all the gates are chained
i can't find my way
through the streets i knew
nowhere else to go
jesus where are you


and i hate myself
this town
it is hell
they have all gone
who sounds afraid
they have called on
take me from my main


on my own again
trust i'll fade away
places feel no more
reasons understand
doccer is a road
that i have to face
gone is arm and soul
gone without a trace


i'm saved
yeah
all
of my
life
