Woke up this morning with a head full of sun, I Wondered where the girl I met last night had gone, Wondered when the party died and drink run dry, my Heads on fire feel like I'm gonna die Just a teenage boy on the run I'm just a teenage boy on the run I'm' just a teenage boy but I am trying to have fun Woke up this morning I am dazed and confused, I Wonder how many cigarettes used Wonder if I toasted to my good health cause Lord what have I done to myself Just a teenage boy on the run I'm just a teenage boy on the run They call me teenage boy but I am trying to have fun What is the girl's name I always forget Even though we only just met Why are my mates always upset Even though it was months ago, months ago, months ago Hey! 1 2 3 4 Just a teenage boy on the run They call me teenage boy on the run I'm just a teenage boy but I am trying to have fun Caught off guard I had no time to prepare Saw you in the chair in the room over there My friends said keep your head down don't act the clown Isn't this just the funniest punchline I've ever found Your a teenage girl on the run I'm just a teenage boy trying to have fun We're just teenagers on the run They'll call us teenagers but we are trying to have fun Hey! 1 2 3 4

Hyde 04:36
Falling down the cracks, falling down cracks, sweat is on my back Falling down the cracks, falling down cracks, shivers on attack Falling down the cracks, running down the tracks, sweat is on my back but shivers on attack 5 percent, cant control 95 percent is willing to show, that Hyde is on attack Hyde is on attack Face hits the floor, face hits the ground, people all around Face hits the floor, face hits the ground, people all around laughs to be found, Face hits the floor, face hits the ground, people all around no dignity to be found 5 percent, cant control 95 percent is willing to show, that Hyde is on attack Hyde is on attack She's running down the tracks, she's running down the tracks, Hyde is on her back She's running down the tracks, she's falling down the cracks, heavy breath upon her back shivers on attack Face hits the floor, face hits the ground, people all around nothing left to be found. Hey (Wail like a mad man) I will never stop, stop, thinking about you, thinking about you I will never stop, stop, thinking about you, thinking about you I will never stop, stop, thinking about you, thinking about you I will never stop, stop, thinking about you, by drinking about you 5 percent, cant control 95 percent I never want to know 95 percent is willing to show, that Hyde is on attack

Broken Lance 04:32
And so far, There's been differences and troubles since the day we parted And so far, Is the land that you are living in to the land you called home To go far, Is the reason of you leaving and I won't hold that against you So go far even if the people turn their backs Friend go far even if the people turn their back Friend go far even if the people turn their back ill never turn my back on you And too much, Is their left to do, left to say, left to say to you And too much am I winding in the same old place and drinking without you And too much am I looking round the room with doppelgangers in plain view So go far even if the people turn their backs Friend go far even if the people turn their back Friend go far even if the people turn their back ill never turn my back on you Surrounded by you Surrounded by you Surrounded by you Surrounded by you Brothers to the end, Brotherhood never ends, Brothers to the end Brothers to the end, Brotherhood never ends, Brothers to the end Broken ranks that are calling your name, the hero will return will return Broken ranks that are calling your name, can't fix on my own my own Broken ranks that are calling your name, the hero will return will return Broken ranks that are calling your name, can't fix on my own my own Broken Lance and golden mane, the hero will return will return Broken Lance and golden mane, the hero will return will return Broken Lance and golden mane, the hero will return will return Broken Lance and golden mane, the hero will return will return

Might as well call me posh Might as well say that I'm not, grateful for what I've got Yes sir I went to school Yes sir I paid it too, doesn't that make me the shit So, make 'em laugh cos' I, Haven't got half the courage you have Oh I wish I had the life To write about the fight, maybe somebody would listen Oh I wish I had the life To write about those countless nights, when I hurt somebody So, make 'em laugh cos' I, Haven't got half the courage you have Oohhh, Oohhh Just cause I paid to learn Doesn't mean we cannot turn, this into friendship Do you think that I don't bleed What do you think comes out of me, a vein of silver So, make 'em laugh cos' I, Haven't got a chance cos' I, Haven't got half the courage you have Haven't got half the courage you have Haven't got half the courage you have Haven't got half the courage you have Might as well call me posh Might as well say that I'm not, grateful for what I've got
