lyrics

You're stuck on a wheel
Just chewing the cud
The things that boil your blood

Go at it till dawn
Hammer and tongue
Its really got you all fired up

Its a bad scene, it's a bad scene
you should go home

Dream for personal cause
A bevy of whores
And endless see of empty want

The pendulum swings
At killing time, you'r the king
And now your life is all fucked up

If Its a bad trip, its a bad trip
You should give up
If its a bad scene, its a bad scene
You should go home

But don't come down from you tower
If you're just going to feed the problem
and cry about it.

Brace yourself for a fall
Crashing to earth
Now tell me, how does that sound
Pick up the parts and carry on as you are
Where there's no feeling
There's no pain


If Its a bad trip, its a bad trip
You should give up
If Its a bad trip, its a bad trip
You should give up
If Its a bad trip, its a bad trip
You should give up
If Its a bad trip, its a bad trip
You should give up
If Its a bad trip, its a bad trip
You should give up
If Its a bad trip, its a bad trip
You should give up
If Its a bad trip, its a bad trip
You should give up
If it's a bad scene, its a bad scene
you should go home

James has been influenced by the melodic melancholy and intimate lyricism of singer songwriters like Neil Young and Elliott Smith, but equally entranced by the power pop hooks of bands such as Teenage Fanclub as well as their grunge admirers, Nirvana. ... more
