Ten A Penny 03:10
What sort would you get for that price? Not much I’m sure! I want premium, 1-900 Get what you pay for chorus -------- Elle McPherson, not John Howard That’s the kind I want Mai Tais on the beach at sunset Give me dreams like that Ten a Penny, Ten a Penny, Ten a Penny, Ten a Penny Don’t wake me up, I’m having a good one It’s been a while I can’t say what is happening to me But it’s making me smile Cause when I’m coming on strong I feel so alive And when I see the fearless leader – I pull my blankets high
2.
Lonely Life 04:07
Early to rise early to die Born into heroin addiction and lies There’s hurt and there’s pain, canyons of shame Can’t stand the parents but you love them the same chorus -------- How can we celebrate this lonely life? Want to turn my head and fade away How can we justify the endless strife? Violence won’t ever go away, won’t go away Can’t offer peace can’t offer trust So hard to get through every day without loss But I see you care - through cold eyes you stare Acceptance that your convictions don’t even care
3.
Soul Mates 02:50
Once in a lifetime Your soul mate is out there Only when the planets Are aligned Thinking with one mind Hearts beating together Perfect union One of a kind Chorus --------- Out there Somewhere some place Searching, waiting for you Find her now Once in a lifetime Your soul mate is out there Only when the planets Are aligned Thinking with one mind Hearts beating together Perfect union One of a kind Only when the planets Are aligned

Mu Theory 04:54
Now way back so long A couple of lads Walt and Don Heard Duke & Bird Jazz radio Charlie Parker New York Metro Beatnik boys turtle necks Smoking dope and Lucky Strikes Bad rock Leather Canary Red Balloon, customary Chorus --------- We’re playing all night Hold tight Mu Theory Black cow drink it down Cuervo gold world renown Rum and coke make me a zombie Time to tour in the Kombi Count 4 add 2 Slash chord sounds like Mu Sharp nine in time Flat five we’re’ alive, yeah
5.
Man Cave 03:23
A sacred place of worldly pleasures, Aladdin’s cave, just for you Entry by invitation only, a refuged from the outside world A hardware store, an IT centre, power tools or techy toys Ian has a grand piano, his mate has got a woodwork lathe I need a man cave, a mini bar, recliner chair I need a man cave ooh ooh I need a man cave ooh ooh I need a man cave, a plasma screen and huge speakers Grown up toys for grown up boys, it’s just the price that changes Leave us to our own devices, we mean that literally It doesn’t matter what’s in there, it’s all about your space Your toys your noise, your mess your joys, a paradise for boys I need a man cave that’s fully loaded, that’s what I crave I need a man cave ooh ooh I need a man cave ooh ooh I need a man cave, a mini bar, recliner chair I need a man cave ooh ooh I need a man cave ooh ooh I need a man cave that’s fully loaded, that’s what I crave

Nice Guys 04:33
Jimmy was a sweet kid, opened doors for ladies Suckered by a thieving guru, who took his money and pride
 Ripped off by a guy on eBay, stalked by a freak Hit and run by bicycle, and bashed up in the park Sue the good Samaritan, bite the hand that feeds Stick it to the peasants, watch them, watch them bleed Don't be fooled by the golden rule, they don't all follow it at school

 Keep opinions to yourself, or you'll be penalised
 Boy scouts in expensive suits, carry knives and laptops too
 Watch them shove it up your arse, nice guys, nice guys, nice guys ...come last Spammed by Viagra, worms and trojans lurk Letters from Nigerian lawyers, sells riches to the fools Bank fees coming thick and fast, taxes raised you’re coming last Hide the jewels amongst the swine, then stick ‘em one more time
7.
Bad Santa 03:21
It was the night before Xmas and all through the house Not a creature was sober, not even a mouse He's got a little list, well, a not so little list He knows who's been bad and good Who's been dull and who's been kissed He's got a longer list, who's been wicked, who's been sinning He ticks them off, one by one No wonder he is grinning Ho ho ho, he’s coming down the chimney Ho ho ho, he’s coming down the hall Santa knows where all the bad girls live, he's visiting them all Eggnog with too much brandy, full of Xmas cheer Santa's feeling friendly, Oh I think it is the beer Stuffed with Xmas pudding, over did the brandy sauce Santa's feeling bloated, I feel sorry his horse? Carrots are so boring, you can keep your glass of milk Let me at that single malt, Santa wants some silk Stockings made of wool are not what Santa fancies Give him fishnet castoffs made from Paris can can dancers
