My credit card's at home, you're paying the bill There'll be no compromise, you'll bend to my will Oh! The world revolves around me, I'm the star here Finally the time has come, I have been waiting for this all year Bow to my whim, do what I say. It's my birthday I'll do want I want, I'll have it my way. It's my birthday I may be a dick, but it's OK. It's my birthday Fuck you all, shut up and obey. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.

I was eating my lunch on the bus When I spotted her reading a book I searched for something to discuss But I was dumbstruck by her good looks I offered her a piece of my chocolate bar But that didn't get me very far I handed her a slice of my quiche lorraine and She smiled at me before she explained (she has) Dietary Restrictions (Oh Oh Oh) She invited me to her birthday par-ty I spent all day baking her a cake I presented it to her oh so proud-ly and Oh! You should have seen her face She blew out the candles hesitantly I thought perhaps she was nervous round me (Oh!) I offered her a slice but she declined to eat She smiled politely and reminded me (she's got) Dietary Restrictions (Oh Oh Oh) I want her to like me but I don't think she will oh If I keep giving her foods that'll kill her I woke up with her next to me Messy hair and naked breasts I could happily have just watched her sleep But I wanted her to be impressed... It was only when she began to wake I realised I'd made a terrible mistake But when she saw the pancakes she wasn't fazed She just smiled at me with an eyebrow raised Dietary Restrictions (Oh Oh Oh)

Rock rock rock to the pretty girl rock rock rock Now what's your name? My name is Keri, I'm so very Fly oh my it's a little bit scary Boys wanna marry looking at my derriere You can stare but if you touch it I'mma bury Pretty as a picture, Sweeter than a swisher Mad cause I'm cuter than the girl that's with ya I ain't gotta talk about it baby you can see it But if you want I'll be happy to repeat it (And if you know it too then ladies sing it with me) All eyes on me when I walk in No question that this girl's a 10 Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful My walk my talk the way I dress It's not my fault so please don't trip Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Do the pretty girl rock rock rock Now where you at? If you're looking for me you can catch me Cameras flashing, daddy's turned his head as soon as I passed him Girls think I'm conceited cause I know I'm attractive Don't worry about what I think why don't you ask him? Get yourself together don't hate (never do it) Jealousy is the ugliest trait (don't ever do it) I can talk about it cause I know that I'm pretty And if you know it too then ladies sing it with me All eyes on me when I walk in No question that this girl's a 10 Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful My walk my talk the way I dress It's not my fault so please don't trip Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Doing the pretty girl rock rock rock All eyes on me when I walk in No question that this girl's a 10 Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful My walk my talk the way I dress It's not my fault so please don't trip Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful

(Butcher) Yo I gotta confess that we're changing address So bring yr ass to our house, gonna make it a mess The biggest blow-out, the climax, the end of an era The death of yr brain just got one step nearer (Alligator) It's yr last chance to dance and romance And lose yr pants if you fancy it Sandstone Place where dreams come true We got one more score in store for you Come 2 R P4rty ROLL CALL!! (Fran) I'm Fran, I'm a man with a plan If the plan involves drinking from a bottle or can I like to drink, But don't have a drinking problem (Tom wanted no part of this) (K.I.M) K to the I to the M, They call me K-swiss! South African but that doesn't make me racist I'm a lady of leisure, Luxury is my pleasure But I'm popping popcorn like a national treasure (The Swan) Here's the Swan, and I got it going on Unless it's my clothes, cause those suckers are gone My body's tight, like a mother fucking athlete Nobody fights with this mother fucking maths geek (Butcher) They call me Butcher, cause I murder my rhymes Like that mother fucking bitch who was wasting my time I got meat - a choice of chicken or duck Whatever you choose it's succulent as fuck (Alligator) I cry all the time but it's always sincere This alligator don't cry crocodile tears Come 2 R P4rty!

Another night, another boy. It seems like it's always the same. He spilled wine on my dress and he mispronounced my name. I guess every now and then I'm scared to be alone But I can just pick up the phone… I don't need no one to hold me tight I don't need no one to spend the night I don't need no one, I swear it's true I don't need another boy, when I got you I know your secrets baby and you know mine But if you don't want to kiss me then darling that's absolutely fine I get almost everything I could ever ask of you If this is all you want it's what I want too

I'm so over you I can't believe what I was going through Over you The stupid, crazy things that I would do (I was) such a fool But now I'm SO over you Not you any more There's someone else that I have fallen for Whom I adore She's gone and grabbed my heart from out of your Evil claws I'm so not into you any more I hardly ever think about your look and smell and taste, (they don't appeal…) Or how you feel… This new love that I've found is strong and it's real I'm so over you I can't believe what I was going through Over you The stupid, crazy shit that I would do (I was) such a fool But now I'm SO over you

Sitting here and trembling, yes "excited"'s not the word My level of anticipation borders the absurd My heart is all aflutter I've a belly full of butterflies My vision is unquestionably blurred Pretty soon hysteria is overcoming me The lady of my dreams is within close proximity Delirious with fever I just can't quite believe her presence will be felt imminently! They said it was just a crush (ssh!) They said I was being naive She gets me all flushed and my mind turns to mush Oh Rebecca you're the only girl for me Soon enough she'll step on stage and swiftly start the show I'll catch her eye and wave and then she'll smile and oh! Then unfocused and stuttering the crowd will start a-muttering But she'll regain her composure like a pro After she'll see me outside and whisper "what'd ya think?" I'll charm her with hyperbole and we'll go for a drink I'll ask," what'll it be?" and she'll say "milk please" just like me And we'll say cheers and raise our glasses up to clink But deep down I know That that's not how things go As she stepped out I swooned and split my skull on the parquet Awoke with blood all though my hair and paramedics in my face And as I was stretchered out of there I heard Rebecca shout and swear at me for "fucking ruining her play"

There's an orgy of unopened gifts under the christmas tree And every single one of them is addressed to me I lose myself in fits of glee. Watch that wrapping paper fly! But, later halfway through my Christmas goose I get something in my eye. Diamonds, pearls, a private jet, and my own personal zoo A penthouse in Manhattan, and a hawaiian island too Santa's upped his game this year. He sure went on a spree But while my stocking may be full, I feel as empty as can be It's not the first time I've felt like this, it's a seasonal attack All year I'm OK, 'til Christmas Day reminds me what I lack, by now I'm all too well aware, there's nothing else that I can do but still The only thing in the entire world that I desire is you It's YOU.

about

A bunch of songs I've recorded over the last couple of years that haven't found their way onto another release. Mostly because they're weird or stupid, but occasionally because they're bad.
