No Fanfare

I can have a little less
So you can live a little better
You can sit and make a mess
And I can find a way to tidy up
It’s never too late son.
You would never concentrate
On what you did or what you said
Oh ‘you can make it, you can make it
You can make it’ you just make it up
Well if you make peace with that
Then you’ll be just fine
Saved your life once or twice
Saved your life a thousand times
Fanfare, no fanfare
Hold it tight, all in time,
Only trying to make it right
Fanfare, no fanfare
Easy to want but not to get
Easy to lose but not to win
Easy to get but not to give
Easy to die but not to live
I could eat a little less
So you could feel a little better
I’ll put on a little weight
So you can find a place to hang it up
But I never liked it all that much
Opinions aren’t even a crime
Here is mine, you’re a swine
But it’s fine, though it’s time after time
That I peel back the plastic
Tear down the barriers and
Smash through the bleachers
And can’t stand the features
Saved your life once or twice
Saved your life a thousand times
Fanfare, no fanfare
Hold it tight, all in time,
Only trying to make it right
Fanfare, no fanfare
Day in, day out
It’s a sad affair
You just stand there
No fanfare
Opinions aren’t even a crime, here is mine
You’re a swine and your spine is too fine of a line
To define,
Though you’re lacking in backbone
A flash in the pan, it is sad
You’re all the world is spitting out
Saved your life once or twice
Saved your life a thousand times
Fanfare, no fanfare
Hold it tight, all in time,
Only trying to make it right
Fanfare, no fanfare
Day in, day out
It’s a sad affair
You just stand there
No fanfare

Compromises compromises
It’s nothing like he advertises
Just look at all the housing prices
Just watch as all the water rises
Little by little by little
Sacrifices sacrifices
If you don’t have it money buys it
Obsess about it analyse it
Keep looking but you’ll never find it
Little by little by little
Let’s talk about it
Let’s talk about it
Everybody only wants to talk about it
Sorry about it
Don’t worry about it
But no one seems to be In any hurry about it
Will I take it? Yes
But I gotta sacrifice something
This place it terribly situated
It’s very poorly decorated
It’s recently been renovated
And so the money’s getting decimated
Little by little
We’re contractually obligated
Habitually violated
Put down, and unappreciated
And this behaviour’s being validated
Little by little
Let’s talk about it
Let’s talk about it
Everybody only wants to talk about it
Sorry about it
Don’t worry about it
But no one seems to be In any hurry about it
Will I take it? Yes
But I gotta sacrifice something
I fall apart,
This doesn’t feel smart
I will surely start
Disintegrating
That’s alright
I’ve done it right
They’re in here every night
Congratulating
Let’s talk about it
Let’s talk about it
Everybody only wants to talk about it
Sorry about it
Don’t worry about it
But no one seems to be In any hurry about it
Will I take it? Yes
But I gotta sacrifice something

Straight line
Keep on moving up in a straight line
Thank you very much ma’am you’re too kind
I’ve stayed in my prime
Steady in pursuit of the big time
Waiting for the day when it’s all mine
Wait a minute I refuse
I think I like it here
Well what is round
And what is straight?
What is soon
And what is late?
It’s only a small interaction
But you’re making me believe I can’t control this conversation
Hands off
All is fine I feel alright
Now get your hands off
We can talk on the phone but you can’t stand in my house
I’m out
I’m standing my ground
I need to get out
I’m out
I’m standing my ground
Get me the fuck out
Wait a minute I refuse
I think I like it here
I need a bag of medication
For just a slice of inspiration
I need a shot of motivation
To break it up, break this inexpression
Hands off
All is fine I feel alright
Now get your hands off
We can talk on the phone but you can’t stand in my house
Isn’t it funny now isn’t it?
(All is fine I feel alright)

Smile I think it’s happening
Relax I think it’s happening
Yes I think it’s happening
Yes I think it’s happening now
It’s all unravelling
Alright it’s all unravelling
Yes it’s started gathering speed
It’s started travelling now
You make it, you try it,
You break it, you buy it,
You’ve hated, you’ve waited
And waited and waited
Keeping an honest job
Having a normal live
Keeping on top of those payments
I think you’re getting me
Wrong, I’m feeling so right,
Why can’t we get along, We’ve been fighting all night
Well how will we pay for it?
We’re getting away with it
Well if we’re wrong then we’re wrong
but I don’t have the time to be right
Never again, think things were better then,
The best it’s ever been, just let it settle in,
Little by little things are getting ten on ten,
Repeat again and again
I think it’s
I think it’s really working out
Smile, I think it’s happening
At last, we’re through with grappling time
Now, there’s no more grovelling,
Alright, it’s finally happening now
Tear the list
(Wear it in)
Feel alive
(Pulverise it)
Tetherless
(Cut the ties)
Weightlessness
(Skip the line)
Ahh you’re getting me
Wrong, I’m feeling so right,
Why can’t we get along, We’ve been fighting all night
Well how will we pay for it?
We’re getting away with it
Well if we’re wrong then we’re wrong
but I don’t have the time to be right
Just be patient now,
Relax into your seat and settle into the performance.
You make it you try it, you break it you buy it,
You’ve hated you’ve waited, you’ve waited and waited
Just be patient now, keeping an honest job
Be patient now, keeping a normal life,
Be patient now, keeping on top of those payments
Ahh you’re getting me
Wrong, I’m feeling so right,
Why can’t we get along, We’ve been fighting all night
Well how will we pay for it?
We’re getting away with it
Well if we’re wrong then we’re wrong
but I don’t have the time to be right
