The Social Chameleon

Lyrics:
The type that I note, is one I assume
You’ve all heard of before, outside of the room
Consistency faulting, it is their volition
When consequence dictates their social position.
I couldn’t say who, as they’d probably oppose
Their mind is a shroud, so nobody knows
Quite what they are like, as they’re subject to change
Based on who’s around, based on who’s in range.
Based on who’s in range (x2)
I wouldn’t say sweet, I’d rather say bitter
And just like an infant, the mood tends to flitter
They’re being a foe, and then being your friend
I’d rather be real, and never pretend.
And speak of pretending; I’d say you’re a pro
With equals arriving, you’re having a go.
You’re quite big on status, it’s making me sick.
It’s all become clear, that you’re just a prick.
So you’ve come up to me and started talking and that
But I don’t really get why you’re playing the twat.
We were allies before, and now you’re irate
I’m not having this, I’m not having it mate.
I'm not having it mate.
Based on who’s in range,
Don’t you find it strange?
The way they that they arrange
Themselves before they want to change
Into the apple of your eye, then almost instantly exchange
I wonder sometimes whether I’m the one to blame?

Swipe Right

Lyrics:
I'm like a kid in a sweetshop
With a handful of coins,
And I don't know when to stop it
As my friends have all joined.
This one's only got her head on,
And I'm sure that I'll be led on
By the filter you've got going
With your cleavage overflowing,
And I've got no way of knowing
If it's just kisses you'll be blowing tonight.
So I guess I'd better swipe right.
D'ya think that you're my type?
Yeah I'd better swipe right.
And I reckon this is alright.
Yeah I reckon that's alright.
With a buzz I've got a match yeah,
But it says that you're thirty.
And you say 'the lock is off the latch'
'Cos you're trying to be all flirty.
And I know that you can't judge and spit
As you'd likely be a hypocrite.
With your screen that's ever-glowing,
And your assets always showing.
Shall we get the drinks a-flowing?
Is it yours or mine we're going tonight?
So I guess I'd better swipe right.
Does your barking beat the bite,
So should I swipe right?
And I wonder is this alright? (x4)

Don't Cry

Lyrics:
It's surprising to see
That you've got such a grip over me.
Well the words that were said
Weren't the ones in my head
And it's likely that there is no key.
To the place that we tried
Where the truth turned to lies,
As you stood there so elegantly.
Not a trick for a treat,
We're not always discreet,
Well it seems that I've fell at your feet.
Don't cry, you're not alone.
I'll be there too.
I won't leave you, here on your own
My heart's fired for you.
If you don't let me know
Then it's hard to let go
Of what's holding me tight.
'Cos I'll toss and I'll turn
Let the lesson be learned,
Well it's keeping me up every night.
If I could only ask you
To stay in my grasp,
Then I wouldn't be singing this song.
Well the time hasn't come
Where our love's been undone,
If we parted well that would be wrong.
Don't cry, you're not alone.
I'll be there too.
I won't leave you, here on your own.
My heart's fired for you.

Get a Move On

Lyrics:
In your own world, you can do anything,
And actions seem to have no consequences.
Well the sheep you spent ages trying to count,
Have all gone and jumped the fences.
And I know, oh I know,
This shouldn't be how it goes.
But I'm told 'that's life',
So I guess I'd better get a new one.
Well I'm told 'that's life',
So I guess I'd better get a move on.
I'll never know why, but I saw you again,
Here in my mind's better than not at all.
Running through a field with your arms around me,
Yeah I don't think we did that, as I recall.
We may not, have always been,
Innocent and totally pure.
But I'm sure we both had a good time,
When our clothes could be found on the floor.
And I know, yes I know,
This shouldn't be how it goes.
But I'm told 'that's life',
So I guess I'd better get a new one.
Well I'm told 'that's life',
So I guess I'd better get a move on.
It took a while before it came to my attention,
That I'd gained some of the control.
Allowed the scene to go further on before,
Reality could take it's toll.
No sooner had I thought this thought,
Your face had turned solemn and grey.
I tried to hold on, but as everyone knows,
We find dreams don't work that way.
And I know, yes I know,
This shouldn't be how it goes.
But I'm told 'that's life',
So I guess I'd better get a new one.
Well I'm told 'that's life',
So I guess I'd better get a move on.
And why sing this song that I sing?
I'm still not relieved from the sting.
Of the love that we wove,
Along the forks in the road.
You're the seemstress,
And I'm the ball of string.
And I know, yes I know,
This shouldn't be how it goes.
But I'm told 'that's life',
So I guess I'd better get a new one.
Well I'm told 'that's life',
So I guess I'd better get a move on.

Lyrics:
Whisk me away, 'cos I'm no stranger,
The sense of the pre-tense, signals danger to me.
To me, to me, to me.
The first thing I see, that could make me so angry
Is that awkward glance at me
That shows just a chance to be distant.
And I'm on the spot now, such confusion.
The words that I'm speaking are just illusions to you,
To you, to you, to you
And I'd wager my cares,
Written down, could cause despair.
But I don't really want them to,
I'd just like to spend some time with you.
Please don't put me down.
You might have a new friend,
A means to a new end tonight.
Tonight, Tonight.
Feelings for you and I can't stand it.
I hate to be awkward but it's not landed today.
Today, today, today.
And this was not the plan.
Of how I could show you, the things that I owe you
Just one, more time, could work.
I'm feeling a lack of elaboration,
The way to press on, is the invitation to talk.
To talk, to talk, to talk
To talk, to talk, to talk
To talk, to talk, to talk...
Lets talk.
