[Verse 1: Frank Turner] In 1981, I was perfect for a month But the truth is it's all been downhill since then Because we did strange things to our bodies, and we forgot most of our studies And got all muddled up between our means and our ends Between forgiveness and permission, and we've got a crystal clear vision Of what we cutely choose to call...Learn More

[Verse 1] Blacking in and out in a strange flat in east London Somebody I don't really know just gave me something To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you And you know your life is heading in a questionable direction When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything Except the way you sounded when...Learn More

My parents bought a rundown place A house out in the hills For twenty years that’s where our family stayed They made that house into a home The best that they could build: The house where I was raised Life came on, as life will do For my two sisters and me Our cracked and crooked foundations were laid As time went by I saw that I Was growing up to...Learn More

When they closed down the restaurants, boarded up the bars We moved out of the city, bought a second hand car Tried to figure out standing still, for the first time in a long, long time And cut back on the sleeping pills, and the overkill, and the over time I guess that this little life Is going to have to do It’s only a little life Mostly just me...Learn More

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] Brothers and sisters, have you heard the news? The storm has lifted and there's nothing to lose So swap your confirmation for your dancing shoes Because there never was no God [Verse 2] Step out of the darkness and onto the streets Forget about the fast, let's have a carnival feast Raise up your lowered head and hear the...Learn More

[Verse 1] It's a day with a 'Y' in it so obviously I'm over it I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired And I've tried not to worry And I've tried being sorry For being born in the wrong place and wrong time [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I've been messed up, stressed out, talking to myself again Locked up, left out, terrified of everything Wound up, found...Learn More

I am the idiot I was considerate I thought things were different But the dumb and degenerate Can be so belligerent: Aggressive illiterates And this social barbiturate Is cold and deliberate A marketed cigarette If you dare to be different Good faith considerate Then you are the idiot I don't mean to be cagey about this, so I won't be: You gave up...Learn More

[Verse 1] My father's called Miranda these days She's a proud transgender woman And my resentment has started to fade 'Cause it was never about who she was Just the way that he behaved Now my father is Miranda, we're ok [Chorus] All the years we were estranged I was always hoping you would find a way to change And after everything that we've been...Learn More

My parents world just made me furious So I ran away and joined the circus Young and careless, dumb and curious Sickened by my kin Since then I have wandered endless Searching for some soul forgiveness To shed the skin and bring the process Of privilege to an end Guys who look like me Ruined the country With their hatred and greed And I feel...Learn More

[Verse (spoken)] So here it is, the ending: The one that neither of us ever thought was coming The black letter day when we’re finally, irrevocably done And I am really, actually leaving the place that I used to call home 7,300 days, give or take Of swearing blind that I'd never leave, that I’d always stay But strange as it sounds, when the change...Learn More

[Intro] Hey, every once in a few months when All the punches land [Verse 1] Well fuck last year I’m glad it’s done And here’s three weak cheers the next will be a better one Measuring my life in unanswered messages Stressing all the little stuff, the thing that’s pathetic is: I haven’t slept sober in a long, long time Because I start having...Learn More

[Verse 1] Well here’s a tale I’ve not yet told: I was evicted when I was eight years old I was shipped off to a dormitory Full of kids who made no sense to me And I cried myself to sleep each night For three straight weeks til I was dead inside But I’m not asking for your pity; It’s just that fairytales about fathers make me angry [Chorus] I was...Learn More
