Safe is available to buy on CD from http://www.freshnut.co.uk/shop, or to download for free in mp3 format from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ Lyrics: Tell me - do you believe in fate? Do you believe that we each have a fee to pay And a leaving date with no hope to deviate That our breathing rate ceases when we reach this age? Where do we go when we leave this place? Is it nowhere where nobody can see your face? There's no need to kneel on your knees and pray Cos seasons change so it may be today Looking back on the one life I've had on this Earth This planet, this world, I sit back and I ponder I have become fond of the fact I've lasted this long Though in the past I've done wrong and my battery's gone Will things be any different here after I'm gone? Will anybody listen to my tracks or my songs? You're asking the wrong chap I know as much as you So I'm just confusing matters but it has to be done It's a factor in all the planet's mass populace That we're asking for knowledge but lack what we want There's certain facts that we won't actually know We lack the composure to relax and just focus on absolute calm And that can do harm so we have to succumb To the fact that after we're gone we're transmitted back to the cosmos And after the storm the pattern goes on So you have to be strong, cos that's where you belong But I want you to see what it's like to be me And I want you to remember me I want to be remembered when I enter into heaven The day I die then greater than September the eleventh But then again when in the history of men Has there ever been an event that we never will forget Eventually everything tends to irrelevance 'Til we're left with an ebb that can never be filled Everything built inevitably will Descend into a stillness until the end of the world Seasons will change Empires will fall Don't panic, our planet's to vanish You've had a few chances and now it is happening Man, he has managed to damage the planet So bad that it cannot be fixed But the bigger the bomb, the quicker we're gone So I quicken my rhythm and finish the song I sit in the dark and picture a part Of my heart but it's hard cos I ripped it apart Split into half with all of our smarts Sick of the starkness but I can't start On a mission to start building an ark Filled with the spark of a star that is dear to my heart And here I depart http://www.myspace.com/danbull

Safe is available to buy on CD from http://www.freshnut.co.uk/shop, or to download for free in mp3 format from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ Lyrics: When you're old and run down, what happens when you die? Not your soul but the dust and the ashes and the like After that time you've passed on and they're scattered and they lie Under the grass in a casket for time Until the last of your atoms has gone back to the matter That it had been a part of when the planet was gas dust At the instant you're officially a corpse This list of sick things begins kicking in with force The tempature of your body's inner core falls And this event is called algor mortis It's thought this happens cos your pulse has flattened So it halts the passage of the warmth and that But if you thought that that was a nauseous fact Then I ought to inform you what also happens The muscles in your ass pack up and relax So that all of that crap just stacks up in your pants Your blood runs back under the gravitational pull Then thickens and begins to coagulate plus Skin pallid, limbs all stiff This is called rigor mortis When you die Don't even bother thinking about floating to heaven When you die You won't burn in hell but you might roast in an oven When you die Don't even bother thinking of eternal paradise When you die You'll just be fertilising grass in this so-called afterlife After twenty-four hours or so You actually eventually swell up and bloat The gases inside you can't come out so they only Keep amassing 'til you're either really fat or explode But don't laugh, cos I mean it, that isn't a joke It'll happen to the Queen and the average bloke Bacteria starts devouring both Flesh and fat from your anatomy, out of your clothes Then it's down to the crows to come down and carry on Lunch out on carrion down to the bone Now you should know that even bones decompose If you leave them over an aeon or so There will be no trace of your dead corpse You'll be feeding potatoes and absorbed Dug up and eaten off a plate with salad raw I'm sorry to say I'm afraid that's the law Actions have reactions so it has to stop Every man since Adam's travelled back to the cosmos Rock to iron to steel and back to rust Ash to ash and dust to dust Ashes to ashes And dust to dust Ashes to ashes And dust to dust When you die Don't even bother thinking about floating to heaven When you die You won't burn in hell but you might roast in an oven When you die Don't even bother thinking of eternal paradise When you die You'll just be fertilising grass in this so-called afterlife http://www.myspace.com/danbull

Safe is available to buy on CD from http://www.freshnut.co.uk/shop, or to download for free in mp3 format from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ Lyrics: The dystopia Gets slowly worse Over the years We're going to burn And I'm sorry for making you scared But it's a sorry state of affairs When man's a virus with shoes, a violent abuser Of the planet he resides on and relies on it too I want to do something to change it But I'm afraid it's inside us, entwined in our nature You and I should face it - the primary trait that Unites the races is the way we use nature and rape it I'm trying to find pride in my nation But I'll die waiting for higher civilisation Sorry for making you scared But it's a sorry state of affairs when The dystopia Gets slowly worse Over the years We're going to burn Dystopia Gets slowly worse Over the years We're going to burn And I'm sorry for making you scared But it's a sorry state of affairs - listen The class system of a past Britain That still runs fast and thick through the innards of every last citizen If you're from Pakistan, black-skinned, or just act different You'll be asked questions and blacklisted The fact is we're attached umbilically To a fetid capitalist trap full of misery But that isn't what gets me, the ignorant hegemony But the fact that we're happy to live with it The disaffected youth are in effect living proof That respect is reduced to a reckless abuse Of the ends where they grew through the stem to the roots They will step on your shoes then expect you to move Flipping heck, next thing they'll do's Have you hanging in a hood, neck through a noose So whether you accept or you're scared of the truth Say your prayers cos we're due for a desolate future The dystopia Gets slowly worse Over the years We're going to burn Dystopia Gets slowly worse Over the years We're going to burn http://www.myspace.com/danbull

Safe is available to buy on CD from http://www.freshnut.co.uk/shop, or to download for free in mp3 format from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ Lyrics: Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim I struggle along in vain, just to not quite make it It's late at night, I'm awake, surprise surprise Trying to find some kind of way to write It's a shame, I fail to find a blatant line Between original art and what's plagiarised It's vague and effectively makes playing a fresh Melody impossible, I often wanna lay it to rest I say with regret cos I love making music Taking beautiful soothing sounds to make tunes with Creating a groove and arranging and looping it But usually it screws me straight up, I feel stupid I need a tea break to replace my fuses But my main mistake is that I keep making excuses The truth is I can blatantly do this But my brain just refuses to obey so I lose it Thus making me choose to take painkillers and booze Just to change up my mood plus maybe induce A thrust of creative boost to raise me up from this place of wasted youth And enable me to embrace my muse Taste the fruits of the great musical roots That grew from the days of slaves playing the blues Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim It's come and it's gone again I've lost my aim Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim My colour is gone and drained, I just might faint So hold me so tight Make me feel alive Blocked out, locked out Please, please, please not now To find the right line to write's quite a painful paper chase Sometimes it takes ages, other days I get it straight away That's the main way I ever can create But take away my aspirations and my brain's a vacant place I hesitate for days in an attempt to make a serenade And say something amazing to set the grade in clever ways But fate never plays fair therefore I'll stay this way forever Never creating 'til the end of days Seven eighths of the time when I'm trying To think of a lyric, picture an image or write a nice rhyme I'm willing my mind to fill up with brilliant ideas Bring them to life, like they were written in my tears I fear it's quite clear I'm living a lie here Eyes dried up but I wish I could cry, hear Is this a signal or sign my mind's fucked up? Cos if isn't I'm just blocked Blocked out, locked out Please, please, please not now Something is wrong today, I'm not quite sane Suddenly dropped from grace, and lost my train http://www.myspace.com/danbull

Safe is available to buy on CD from http://www.freshnut.co.uk/shop, or to download for free in mp3 format from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ Lyrics: I'll get in my submarine Set sail to somewhere remote I'll wait until World War III is over Then go and live with the victors and Sing Sing My catharsis Look, never again will I put down my pen The best method I know to let stuff out my head Yes, I'm aware of the notion I must sound a bit dense But I'm just letting you know there's nothing round to contend When stressed then I focus on jotting down a lament Introspectively composing what comes out from within Whenever you feel hopeless, down, depressed I suggest getting a note book out and venting Whether wrecked or sober muck round with the text Get depression focused, confront the doubt and dread Instead of letting them roam or shutting them out your head Don't ever repress emotions, push them down, pretending You never noticed them sucking you down to death You could suffer a thousand deaths together alone Getting ever more low 'til you couldn't get up out of bed So yes, my best weapon's prose, and I'll love sound to def My catharsis Sometimes you need to sit and vent your heart Even if there's a fair chance some prick'll tear it apart But I don't care, it's a farce So I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve eager to share it with half Of the people that care when I start with my speech Harp through my teeth About seemingly meaningless things mithering me And I mean it's difficult to say what's really on your brain Without thinking what friends think of your frame of mind cos they might think you're a little bit insane But if you wanna break from the cycle of pain Then you might wanna change up your mind and its frame You're neither to blame nor liable for saying Any lines on a page that's inscribed with your name They're right when they say pen's mightier than sword So remember that fact then write and record My catharsis

Safe is available to buy on CD from http://www.freshnut.co.uk/shop, or to download for free in mp3 format from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ Lyrics: Some of the happiest days are when the sun rays cascade Over your back in the most naturally placid of ways You don't have to ask whether perhaps it'll rain And the centigrade never strays past twenty eight It's fantastically great kicking back with your mates And knowing no, you don't have to act to your age You can snack on a Flake or take a basket of cakes But make sure you've got some factor eight splashed on your face And the ladies make daisies attached in a chain While the lads entertain them with a basketball game And then after we're knackered and the match has been played Grab a glass of lemonade and relax in the shade We'll bask and just laze in the grass's green blades And sit back and just gaze at the paths of the planes Nothing matters today, you can chatter and play Playful antics under blankets of immaculate haze Once upon a summer The sun plays across the lawn Once upon a summer The air is sweet and warm Once upon a summer Heavenly and calm Once upon a summer It's never been this fun It's ace when you're tipsy and playing with a frisbee There ain't been better days in the pages of history And though your hay fever itches and makes you be sniffly It's blatantly plain that you'll savour and miss these Great times when they're gone, days lying in the sun Bathing, misbehaving and playfighting for fun They might have been some of the days of your life that you'll always Be reminded of when your time to pass away finally comes And as the day becomes night and the sun goes down The shadows grow slow and cloak round your home town There's no sound but the bees and the birds And slowly but certainly the season returns You turn down to the ground and there's leaves on the earth Turning brown and allowing the trees to rebirth There's a breeze in the air and it breathes through your hair And that's it - summer leaves for the year Summer's come and gone The day's no longer young Summer's come and gone But the memory lives on http://www.myspace.com/danbull

Safe is available to buy on CD from http://www.freshnut.co.uk/shop, or to download for free in mp3 format from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMMBYOTZ Lyrics: Candlelight flickers across these hands that write I sit and ponder the past and life Just wishing and wanting an answer tonight And so I am thinking and wondering asking why Do things go wrong when they have been right Where we used to frolic and laugh, we cry Life's past its prime, I wish I could stop the hands of time The end is nigh, a tick and a tock and the sands of time Slip from the clock as they pass us by As I'm sitting and watching the passers by Stranded high, imprisoned and locked in the land of my mind The living monotony hanging by To limit and smother a man this shy And to describe it's impossible though I can but try And now as I lie, a shiver runs ominous down my spine As a vision, a prophecy clouds my sight I predict an apocalypse happens tonight Clandestine, Our figurative god has cast the die Has triggered the goal of his grand design And the bigger the bomb is the faster we die Abandon fright, and give up the worry and anger and spite The difference is none if you stand and fight So sisters and brothers hold hands, unite While Dan says hi, and sings you a song as his last goodbye Bye bye bye http://www.myspace.com/danbull
