[00:29.73] This song is one of our first songs off the new album.
[00:37.62] It's about punks, skins, straights.
[00:43.67] I was walking along the street
[00:48.71] Minding my own affair
[00:50.93] Suddenly two policemen grabbed me
[00:53.78] And I wasn't aware.
[00:55.28] They said, "Is your name Matey?"
[00:57.56] I said, "Why sure".
[00:59.24] He says, "You're the punk
[01:01.13] That I've been waiting for.
[01:02.77] You're nicked"
[01:15.54] Better the devil you know
[01:18.51] Confess I guess I was the lesser of the two evils
[01:21.32] Convalesce about the stress the test caused
[01:24.07] Had me up and on the board,
[01:25.25] Now I'm chairman of the board
[01:26.52] I'm coming back for sequels
[01:28.00] Do you ever really think you've won?
[01:29.67] Now you're feeble
[01:31.54] Nothing on this far-gone son
[01:32.93] All these people
[01:33.84] They're laughing at the shit I've done
[01:35.49] I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze
[01:37.61] and took it back home in a trunk
[01:39.41] Met a matador who said it's my woman is more
[01:42.23] Terrifying than any red bull that he saw
[01:44.97] Set a sail set a rail
[01:46.80] Met them Kings and Queens
[01:48.22] There's so many trust
[01:49.67] Just the amphetamines
[01:51.03] Well her dream would've been
[01:52.70] That the boy's got clean
[01:53.96] That her father never got his heart
[01:55.48] Caught up in the man's machine
[01:57.04] Well it seems even if I got away
[01:59.71] There's always a part of me willing to stay
[04:38.21][04:33.02][04:26.89][04:22.05][03:40.79][03:35.28][03:29.16][03:23.85][02:19.91][02:14.50][02:08.25][02:02.89] Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
[04:35.58][04:24.10][03:37.72][03:26.19][02:17.09][02:05.55] All we've got to keep us together
[04:29.76][03:31.65][02:11.14] Underground travelling
[04:31.31][03:33.42][02:12.94] Overcast weather
[04:41.15][03:43.50][02:22.79] Maybe one day things'll get better
[02:30.08] Check, check, check, check
[02:33.68] 1, 2, 3, kick
[02:37.31] I met gods and monsters
[02:38.98] Women from Wisconsin
[02:40.30] Swimming in linen
[02:41.59] With another
[02:42.26] That's not their partner
[02:43.41] Chicago be selfish drum
[02:44.53] On my journey
[02:46.15] I met Ernie
[02:46.95] So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk
[02:48.75] I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son
[02:50.88] I'm a traitor and I'm on the run
[02:52.60] Watch 'em come
[02:54.02] As she said
[02:54.83] While she driving in her car
[02:56.02] Getting drunker than the bar
[02:57.41] She's been smacking hard shoulders
[02:58.93] Since before she's legal
[03:00.26] I'm a dragnet
[03:01.25] Right on through the city of sin
[03:03.14] It's the hard done bastards
[03:04.74] Taking it in
[03:06.00] Well I see what I say
[03:07.51] Save it on the way
[03:08.94] They can't sit bawling
[03:10.41] But they're bawling away
[03:11.80] Well she cries all her tears
[03:13.32] But with all of her fears
[03:14.55] Well she run away
[03:15.72] She had a place
[03:16.61] Now all they ever see is the fears
[03:17.48] Take it as she's seen it
[03:19.89] Get away
[03:20.72] Well there's always a part of us
[03:22.08] Willing to stay
[03:57.52] So run, run boyo
[04:11.34][03:59.51] Chase it to the border, border
[04:13.07][04:01.14] Should have also've told her
[04:14.90][04:03.28] I was cannon fodder
[04:15.94][04:04.34] Would've if I could've screamed to her
[04:18.12][04:06.20] Shout and holler
[04:19.78][04:07.20] Then I could've saved the girl from the
[04:20.87][04:09.05] Man's Machine
[04:10.38] Run boyo
