Living End - What Would You Do?
Modern Artillery - 2003
I don't know enough about the things you do
I don't know enough to say I really know you
But I already fell in love with you
And if you knew what would you do?
I can tell a lot by the things you wear
I can tell you're gonna be a millionaire
But I already fell in love with you
And if you knew what would you do?
I've stopped myself from trying
I shouldn't talk to you
And now inside I'm dying
What would you do?
I don't know enough about the things you do
I don't know enough to say I really know you
But I already fell in love with you
And if you knew what would you do?
I've stopped myself from trying
I shouldn't talk to you
And now inside I'm dying
What would you do?
I don't know enough about the things you do
I don't know enough to say I really know you
But I already fell in love with you
And if you knew what would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do...?
What would you do?

YEEEEAAAHHHH,
One said to the other, you'll never find another
now that your're on your own, to discover
you're living undercover, now that you're on your own.. own
(verse 1)
she's not really bothered by a riot in the land,
only get's excited by the cheap shop brands,
dressed up in a number that she got from Japan,
powdered up, confident with solarium tan
you know that she won't leave it alone, (know that she won't leave it alone)
she aint never gunna leave it alone
(chorus)
One said to the other, you'll never find another
now that you're on your own, to discover
you're living undercover now that you're on you're own, own
(verse 2)
She's not really in touch with the government plan,
much to busy lookin for a one night stand,
you dont have to show her, before you get to know her,
thats she's the type that plays with you, i dont understand.
you know that she won't leave it alone, (know that she won't leave it alone)
she aint never gunna leave it alone
One said to the other, you'll never find another
now that you're on your own, to discover
you're living undercover now that you're on you're own, own
(guitar solo)
you know that she won't leave it alone, (know that she won't leave it alone)
she aint never gunna leave it alone
she's not really bothered by a riot in the land,
only get's excited by the cheap shop,
dressed up in a number that she got from Japan,
powdered up, confident solarium tan
you know that she won't leave it alone, (know that she won't leave it alone)
she aint ever gunna leave it alone (ever gunna leave it alone)
ohh, you know that she wont leave it alone (know that she won't ever leave it alone)
never gunna leave it alone
One said to the other, you'll never find another
now that you're on your own, to discover
you're living undercover now that you're on you're,
One said to the other, you'll never find another
now that you're on your own, to discover
you're living undercover now that you're on you're own, own
Own, own

Living End - Who's Gonna Save Us?
Modern Artillery - 2003
Who's gonna save us...?
Who's gonna save us...?
It's all around me and
I just don't understand
Seems all out of place now
And I know it's late
But you know what they say now
We're under attack now
Our work is all cut out
Whatever happened to your rights?
And I know it's late
But you know what they say now
Who's gonna save us...?
What they say now...
Who's gonna save us...?
So where's the writting on the wall
Who's gonna save us?
Who's gonna provide us?
Who's gonna divide us?
Who's gonna save us?
We're underpowered now
Trial devoured now
Step aside make way for the new leader
And it's getting late
But you know what they say now
Who's gonna save us...?
What they say now...
Who's gonna save us...?
So where's the writting on the wall
Who's gonna save us?
Who's gonna provide us?
Who's gonna divide us?
Who's gonna save us?
Who's gonna save us...?
Who's gonna save us...?
It's all around me and
I just don't understand
Seems all out of place now
And I know it's late
But you know what they say now
Who's gonna save us...?
Who's gonna save us...?
Who's gonna provide us?
Who's gonna divide us?
Who's gonna provide us?
Who's gonna divide
Where's the writting on the wall
Who's gonna save us?
Who's gonna provide us?
Who's gonna divide us?
Who's gonna save us?
Looking for the writting on the wall
Who's gonna save us?
Who's gonna provide us?
Who's gonna divide us?
Who's gonna save us?

Living End - End Of The World
Modern Artillery - 2003
Last night I had me a dream son
The end of the world could be seen
No sign of life could I feel son
Nothing was what it had been
Black as the night, Life out of sight
You can't imagine the scene
Last night I had me a dream son
The end of the world could be seen
I didn't know where to turn son
The absence of life was obscene
The end of time or just in my mind
I know that it's hard to believe
And I can almost see the end of the world
And I can almost see the end of the world
So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return
It could occur any day son
Just you remember and pray
You have what you love
Now love what you have
And maybe then you will last a bit longer
Black as the night, Life out of sight
You can't imagine the scene
And I can almost see the end of the world
And I can almost see the end of the world
So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return
Last night I had a dream
The strangest that I'd ever seen
Yes you were there and you were
Telling everybody not to worry
Just let it be
Then you led me to believe
Everything happens in threes
But as you spoke then I awoke
Only to find that we'd arrived
At the end of the world
Last night I had me a dream son
The end of the world could be seen
Black as the night, Life out of sight
You can't imagine the scene
And I can almost see the end of the world
And I can almost see the end of the world
So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return
And I can almost see the end of the world
And I can almost see the end of the world
So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return

Living End - Jimmy
MODERN ARTillery - 2003
Jimmy – what’s your vote?
You don’t have to repay them after all
Jimmy told of those who’d been cheated
But were never defeated
Just morally wrong
Jimmy told of those who were jaded
Their colours had faded
Like they didn’t belong
And they lied – a new life they were seeking
Yes they lied – now their plans are leaking
Jimmy told of those who had made it
And others who’d paid it
But the price was wrong
Everybody’s too busy fighting
To bother deciding
What has to be done
Jimmy – it seems as though it can be sold
As easy as a story
Can be told
You don’t have to repay them after all
Jimmy had a dream he would make it
And he wouldn’t fake it
Like the others had done
He believed in those who were jaded
Whose colours had faded
Like they didn’t belong
Now we’re all faded

Living End - Tabloid Magazine
Modern Artillery - 2003
Temperamental editors
Searching for the passion
Overpaid and overrated
Looking for a cash in (Yeah!)
It’s too late
If you want to read a little
Useless information
If you’ve had enough
With all the troubles of our nation (Yeah!)
Don’t wait
And you read about it
You just can’t sleep without
The pages of the magazine
Don’t believe in all you read
You can’t trust the tabloid magazine
And I’m about to break down
It’s just a tabloid magazine
And I don’t wanna break down(I don’t wanna break down)
Picture hungry journalists
Looking for some action
Running all the stories
Like it’s going out of fashion(Yeah!)
It’s too late
Everybody’s reading
Everybody else’s problems
Everybody’s busy stopping
What they haven’t started(Yeah!)
Don’t wait
And you read about it
You just can’t sleep without
The pages of the magazine
Don’t believe in all you read
You can’t trust the tabloid magazine
And I’m about to break down
It’s just a tabloid magazine
And I don’t wanna break down(I don’t wanna break down)
Don’t wanna be around ‘em
Better off without them
You know you can’t escape them
Don’t wanna be around ‘em
Better off without them
You know you can’t escape them
Don’t wanna be around ‘em
Better off without them
You know you can’t escape them
And you read about them all the time
From the pages of the magazine
But you can’t believe in all you read
Well it’s too late
And you’re gonna have to wait
And you won’t want turn out the lights
Yeah it’s too late
And you’re gonna have to wait
And you won’t want turn out the lights
It’s just a tabloid magazine (breakdown)
It’s just a tabloid magazine (breakdown)
It’s just a tabloid magazine (breakdown)
It’s just a tabloid magazine (breakdown)

| In the End | |
|
Well there’s something that I really
Need to say
Have you ever wondered why the
Truth is hard to say - SAY - say - SAY
Why must it be this way
A broken deal
And now it’s time to pay
Trying hard to understand
What happened yesterday - DAY - day - DAY
But it’s the game we play
I see the red light signal
Calling me home the red lights are
See the red light and they’re
Calling me home
The powers above us
Show that you love us
Don’t take me away
The powers above us
Show that you love us
In the end it’s just another day
And there’s no explanation
Or a plan that you can make - MAKE - make - MAKE
And you can’t hide away
Well you can try and plan
Tomorrow’s news today
But everything that you want
Is not gonna go your way - WAY - way - WAY
The end isn’t far away
I see the red light signal
Calling me home the red lights are
See the red light and they’re
Calling me home
The powers above us
Show that you love us
Don’t take me away
The powers above us
Show that you love us
In the end it’s just another day
And there’s no explanation
Or a plan that you can make - MAKE - make - MAKE
And you can’t hide away
(SOLO)
The powers above us
Show that you love us
Don’t take me away
In the end it’s just another day
And there’s no explanation
Or a plan that you can make - MAKE - make - MAKE
And you can’t hide away

|
Living End - Maitland Street
MODERN ARTillery - 2003
I hear the sirens – oh no
Coming to remind me – to go
Silence is golden – I know
Until the silence - is known
And the plans were carried on
We were the victims all along
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down
When the rain came down on
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don’t get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street
Looking for an echo
Searchin’ for somewhere to go
We found a place that we called home
But it was empty yeah
Yeah there was nobody there
And the clouds began to break
We tried to run but it was too late
Now it’s done and you gotta move on
‘Cause it’s never gonna be the same
Doesn’t anybody know?
What happened all those years ago?
Doesn’t anybody know?
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down

| Putting You Down | |
|
Living End - Putting You Down
MODERN ARTillery - 2003
So you left the home you never had
On your own how could things get so bad?
And you hitched a ride to the unknown
Forgot your address and your mobile phone
Would they all remember me?
And forget about their needs?
There’s nobody putting you down
Just spending your life hangin’ around
There’s nobody putting you down
But you’re draggin’ your life on the ground
And you said some things you didn’t mean
A lot of what you thought
Wasn’t half that it seemed
So you hitched a ride to the unknown
Forgot your address and your mobile phone
As you get older
The chip on your shoulder
Spreading like a disease
Spendin’ your life
Hangin’ around
There’s nobody putting you down

| Short Notice | |
|
Living End - Short Notice
MODERN ARTillery - 2003
I said I wanna see you
I really meant I wanna leave you
I said I wanna touch you
I really meant I wanna punch you
I said I wanna kiss you
I’m never gonna miss you
If you had a clue you would never stay
If I told the truth I would have to say
We’re going round, round, round
Short notice – and now it’s time to go
Misguided - shot down when you didn’t know
Short notice – and now it’s time to go
I said I wanna feel you
I really meant I wanna kill you
I said I couldn’t refuse you
I really meant I should’ve used you
I said, I wanna love you
I really am above you

| So What | |
|
Living End - So What
MODERN ARTillery - 2003
Well I’ve been going out of my head
Since I met you
But you drive me up the wall it seems
What more can I do
You’re just no good for me
So lock me up and throw away the key
Cause I’ve just about had all
I can take from you
Well I’ve been going out of my head
Since I found you
But you turned out to be poison
Now I’m feeling blue
But everything will be alright
If I can keep you out of sight
Six feet under where no one will have a clue
So what – you never even gimme one shot
I don’t wanna rain on your parade
You’re really somethin’
But I’m nearly jumpin’
Well I’ve been going out of my head
Since I met you

| Rising Up from the Ashes | |
|
Living End - Rising Up From The Ashes
MODERN ARTillery - 2003
Just when you thought
That you had it all worked out
You will be the last one
To figure it out
Then you will see
That in order to be free
We just don’t wanna fake it
Anymore
It doesn’t seem to add up
And nothing seems to matter
You’ve outgrown all the anger
You know that it’s not the answer
Rising up from the ashes
You know we never meant to burn
Rising up from the ashes
We don’t wanna answer
To a mixed up generation
There’ll only be separating
And if we burn
Then what have we learned
|
| Hold Up | |
|
Living End - Hold Up
MODERN ARTillery - 2003
Put it in the bag boys
Said the petty thief
I’m only gonna say it once
So don’t play dumb with me
Don’t nobody make a move
And don’t nobody speak
Everybody on the floor
Don’t mess around with me
Put it in the bag boys
Then we’re on our way
All the money in the bag
We’ll count it up another day
Put it in the bag boys
Then we’ve got it made
Now don’t go making me mad
Put the money in the bag
We’ve gone and made it this far
Now we can’t run away
If we make it out alive
To see another day, oh then
We’ll leg it to the border
Sneak on past the toll
There ain’t no copper
Gonna put me in the hole
We’re almost at the end
There’s an open road ahead
Freedom’s just another 30 miles away
But luck came undone
As we jumped the gun
Now all we can do is run
|
| The Room | |
|
Living End - The Room
MODERN ARTillery - 2003
In a room you can build a home
Plant the seed and life begins to grow
When it’s outgrown life inside
How will it live?
And will it survive?
On it’s own outside
I wonder if the world is just the same
And does the life that I knew still remain
Journey to the life outside
Return to those I left behind
‘Cause I’m ready to go now
Yes I’m ready to go now
I wanna get back to the city
Get on with my life
Cause I’ve done my time
And I’m ready to go now
So now it’s time to leave the room
And not for one minute too soon
If you spent 16 years
Then you’d almost understand
Time waits for no man to return
A whole new set of rules to learn
It had been 16 years
Since they put me in the cell
We will never leave
We ain’t ever gonna leave the room
We could be here for life
We will never leave the room
And as it all gets rearranged
You find that everything has changed
And there’s no place for you
In this foreign world
You always believed
One day you’d be free
And never return so soon
If I lent my arms to you
Would you hold me
And embrace me
Or replace me
