The crime of the century
A milestone for the greedy
The crime of the century
We’re doubling back so we can repeat
Smile boy show those teeth
This will go down in history
(I’m not listening anyway)
Be there come prepared
Join us and you will be spared
(I’m not listening anyway)
The crime of the century
A milestone for the greedy
The crime of the century
We’re doubling back so we can repeat
Commit your crimes
All the time
If I tell you that you’re hungry then open wide
Commit your crimes
All the time
If I tell you that you’re hungry then
(I’m not listening anyway)
Commit your crimes
All the time
If I tell you that you’re hungry then you are hungry
The crime of the century
A milestone for the greedy
The crime of the century
We’re doubling back so we can repeat

Safe

It’s difficult
It’s difficult to save a life
It’s difficult
We’re safe and sound
Safe and sound when tucked up at night
Then she comes and sets it alight
To tell the truth I don’t like safe
But oh I savour your taste
When she burns he takes my place
In so quenching her flame
A miracle
A miracle we’re even alive
A miracle
I’m getting old
Getting old before my own eyes
Trapped in this timeline of mine
To tell the truth I don’t like safe
But oh I savour your taste
When she burns he takes my place
In so quenching her flame
Save me
Save me from safe
To tell the truth I don’t like safe
But oh I savour your taste
When she burns he takes my place
In so quenching her flame

Hung By A Thread

You’re a guest in my mind
You keep my eyes on the skies
Both feet on the ground
And my shoes tied
You talk me down from the ledge
When things get to me
When there’s nowhere to go
Swim upstream
Hung by a thread
And held by the hand
Over the edge
Hung by a thread
When life’s breaking me down
You pick me up off my knees
And so piece by piece
You reconstruct me
You put my heart in its place
When it falls outta my sleeve
And then without a trace
You take your leave
Hung by a thread
And held by the hand
Over the edge
Hung by a thread

Home?

Drain all my health
As I lose earthly wealth
Before my eyes
Lay in my bed
And I empty my head
Against the walls
Drink ‘til you drop
‘Til you end up on top
That seems to work
Run your soft hands
Through my hair
And then whisper “Goodnight”
We could lie here forever
Until all the world has slipped away
Could you hold us together?
If we wanted, we could stay this way
We could forget the sunshine
Whatever it may take
Sit by my side
And we'll watch the day's tides
Come and go
Drift through the water
And watch the gold sand
At the bottom
Love like a net
Fails to catch me again
As I go
Run shaking hands
Through my hair
And then whimper “goodbye”
We could lie here forever
Until all the world has slipped away
Could you hold it together?
If we wanted, we could stay this way
We could forget the sunshine
Whatever it may take
Live in the dark
And listen to the skylarks
As they sing
Squeeze my hand tightly
And breathe on me lightly
As we sleep
Dream as we rest
Your head leant on my chest
All night long
Run sleepy hands
Through my hair
And then whisper “I love you”
We could lie here forever
Now that the world's collapsed away
And we'll hold it together
At least whatever we had that still remains
And remember the sunshine
Whatever it may take

The Cause

Why wait?
It’s not gonna start itself
They’re bugs
Encased in their mortal shells
They’re on the floor you’ve got to squash your boot down hard
Watch out
Look down they’re crawling all around
These ants
Mean naught until they form a mound
Set the fire we can’t afford another blunder
Alone they’re quiet together they will sound like thunder
I would die for the cause
(Not enough, not enough)
Let me die for my cause
For I believe in something better than this
I would die for my cause
And I will
Crush them
Mercy will not help win the war
It’s grim
Despite, they must obey the law
You will understand when you are older
Alone a stone together they will be a boulder
I would die for the cause
(Not enough, not enough)
Let me die for my cause
For I believe in something better than this
I would die for my cause
And I will
All I know is we’re better off alone
Can’t you see that?

Pop meets Goth Rock, it is said that no one has ever
survived a Fangs concert to tell the tale. It is fabled
that their electrifying stage show is a sight to behold,
