I Don't Wanna Be

I need something in my head, I need something, I don't wanna be dead,
I need risk, I need fun, I need to feel like I'm on the run.
I need feelings in my bones, I need to feel like I'm exposed,
I need danger, I need war, I need something to battle for.
But I don't wanna be a show pony.
I need people to take note, I need people to let it go,
I need you to need me, I need the luxury of being free.
I need chaos, I need regret, I need to speak what's in my head,
I need wonder, I need pure, I need to reach the inner core.
But I don't wanna be a show pony.

Loose Change

I know what you want from me and it sure is not my body,
I don't think it's personality, I think you want me for my money.
I've heard around what you're like, more dangerous than dynamite,
You never run away from a fight and don't know the difference between wrong and right.
Little do you know I've got such little to show. Just loose change.
I took you out for a meal to understand how you feel,
I'd love to order caviar but my money just don't stretch that far.
Would you hold my hand and walk with me if I wasn't in Versace,
I don't own no Armaniand my only shoes are scummy.
Little do you know I've got such little to show. Just loose change.

She's So Retro

Keep it secret, keep it down low, keep it vintage, keep it retro.
Keep it secret, keep it down low.
She doesn't want you to know that she, she's so retro.
Doesn't want you to know.
The past is flowing through her veins. Another era fans her flames.
Modern life's a real shit. This modern life just doesn't fit.
She just wants to take it slow, keep it vintage, keep it retro.
She just wants to take it slow.
She doesn't care for what I know, 'cos she, she's so retro.
Doesn't care for what I know.
The past is flowing through her veins. Another era fans her flames.
Modern life's a real shit. This modern life just doesn't fit.

San Diego

Can you hear me coming? Is the car still running? Can you get me out of here today?
I'm sick of the rain, sick of the grey, sick of that look I can see on your face.
I'm bored of this place, bored of the space, empty besides all the shit that I drink.
So I'm going to San Diego and I'm not coming back.
I'm going to clear my soul and soak up some sun.
And now my sweat is running, and the tears are coming. Can you get me out of here today?
I can't find a way to make the most of this play, a way to ignore all the self pity.
I made a mistake and got myself in a state. I'm running away from the mess that I made.
So I'm going to San Diego and I'm not coming back.
I'm going to clear my soul and soak up some sun.
Because I've heard that the waves sing you to sleep and I heard the sand fits right round your feet. I've got a plan to give this all up and find somewhere that I really love.
So I'm going to San Diego and I'm not coming back.
I'm going to clear my soul and soak up some sun.
