1. TICK TICK BOOM

Yeah, (x3)
I was right all along,
Yeah, (x3)
You come tagging along,
Exhibit A,
On a tray,
What you say,
Ends up thrown in your face,
Exhibit B,
What you see,
Well that's me,
I'll put you back in your place

Yeah I've done it before,
And I can do it some more,
So what you waiting for ?
Yeah !
I was right all along !

[Chorus]
You know I've done it before,
And I can do it some more,
I've got my eye on the score,
I'm gonna cut through the floor,
It's too late,
It's too soon,
Or is it…

Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick…
Boom !

Yeah, (x3)
I was right you were wrong,
Yeah, (x3)
Going, going you're gone !
I saw you yesterday, waiting too much,
Till it slipped through your hands,
And then you stagger to your feet and out the door,
Cos there's no second chance!

[Chorus]

Now you come crying to me…
But it's too late !
The man you're proud to be,
But it's too late !
Get your head out of the sand,
But it's too late…

It's too late,
Too late,
Too late,
Too late !

Yeah !
But it's too late ! (x2)

Get your head out of the sand,
But it's too late !

[Chorus]

It's too late,
It's too soon,
It's too late,
It's too soon,
It's too late,
It's too soon,

Or is it…

Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick…
Boom !


2. TRY IT AGAIN

Doo wacko !

Here is to you honey
But I'm out of your league
Never gonna pass me
'Cause I'm out of your league, your league,
Your league

Lookie here baby
Your're coming my way
But I move like a landslide
So get out of my way and stay away

Up from the floor on the count of ten
Oh you get up, you get down and you try it again

Up and down and around again Oh you get up,
You get down and you try it again
Up and down and around again Oh you get up,
you get down and you try it again Oh you get
Up, you get down and you try it again
All right ! Oh Oh Oh

Time to learn a lesson
Like Pavlov's dog
If same-ing isn't working
Why don't you different instead, instead, instead

Like Samson and Delilah
Attila and the Hunns
You're ready for a new round
Don't it look like it's gonna be fun, be fun

Up from the floor on the count of ten
Oh you get up, you get down and you try it again

Up and down and around again Oh you get up,
You get down and you try it again
Up and down and around again Oh you get up,
You get down and you try it again Oh you get
Up, you get down and you try it again

They say the definition of madness is doing the
Same thing and expecting a different result…

That's right !

Doo wacko ! - Up and down
Doo wacko ! - Down and up
Doo wacko ! - Round for round
Doo wacko ! - Hit the ground
Doo wacko ! - Up and down
Doo wacko ! - Ah you get up, you get down and
You try it again
Down and up - Doo wacko ! - Ah you get up, you
Get down and you try it again
Round for round - Doo wacko ! - Ah you get up,
You get down and you try it again
Hit the ground - Doo wacko !
Ah you get up, you get down and you try it
Again (x4)


3. YOU GOT IT ALL... WRONG

You wanna dance, and you really wanna let it go,
You want it bad, but the style has told you to go,
You want it

You do it fast when you really should do it slow
You got it bad, but this time I told you no
You're on it

Hey, it's true
But I wanna know
What you had or you did
So just let it go

You wanna laugh, and you really wanna let him know
You're so relaxed and you really gonna let it show
You want it

You really got what we worked through all the time
But you chose your way and I chose mine
You're on it

Hey, it's true
But I wanna know
What you had or you did
So just let it go

Oh no !
Remote control but you got it all
Oh no !
Ya stand ten feet tall 'cause you got it all
Oh no !
Remote control but you got it all
And you've got it all
But you got it all wrong !

We had a laugh but it turned into a don't
We had a line but now I wanna get out
You're on it

I was scared when I made love to you
I put a lid on it and thought, that's it, I'm through !
You're on it

Hey, it's true
But I don't wanna know
What you had or you did
So just let it go

Oh no !
Remote control but you got it all
Oh no !
You stand ten feet tall 'cause you got it all
Oh no !
Remote control but you got it all
Oh no !
Ya stand ten feet tall 'cause you got it all

And when I say you lose it, you don't believe it at all
It's such a long way to fall, but the writing's on the wall
But when I saw you lose it, I can't even recall
If it was the best of all, your brain, a pigeon-small

Because you got it all
You got it all
You got it all
But you got it all wrong


4. WELL ALL RIGHT !

Yeah (x8)

Well All right ! I know just what you mean
Well All right ! And I know that it might seem
Well All right ! I should have better things to do
Well All right ! I'm so sick of it, this won't do

First in line but last to know
Move too fast but think too slow
People see me and they go AAAAHHHH !!!!

Whoo Hoo! (x8)

Everyone's a looser in the modern world
Look at all the sad and gloomy little boys and girls
All of you got troubles all of you got woes
Shake the chips off your shoulders here is how it goes

Juggling chainsaws with just one hand
Falling down the stairs with a marching band
Swim across the ocean in a concrete suit
Trying to grow a beard but still look cute

Whoo Hoo ! (x8)

On and on the world spins round - It is enough to
get you down
But I don't worry cause sometimes you just
have to…
Whoooo Hoooo !

Yeah (x8)

Well All right ! I know just what you mean
Well All right ! And I know that it might seem
Well All right ! I should have better things to do
Well All right ! I'm so sick of it, this won't do

First in line but last to know
Move too fast but think too slow
People see me and they go… scuse me !

Whoo Hoo ! (x16)

Everyone's a looser in the modern world
Look at all the sad and gloomy little boys and girls
I know all you got troubles all you got is woes
Shake the chips off your shoulders here is how it goes…
Whoooo Hoooo !


5. HEY LITTEL WORLD

It was on a cold dark night, born into this world
They couldn't tell back then, is it a boy or a girl ?
Has since then been a story, of uncertainty
It was claimed a child, that he would never be free

Hey little world ! You know what you're getting
Oh please little world, It's kicking your head in

Whatcha gonna do ? Anyone of you ? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you ?
Anyone of you ? Whatcha gonna do ? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you ?

Grow up advance to nothing
Live in a house of clay
He didn't know back then
But they liked it that way.
He didn't do what they told him
He never did what they said
Try to tell him your wrong again and
Is this what you get ?

Hey little world! you know what you're getting
Oh please little world, It's kicking your head in

Whatcha gonna do ? Anyone of you? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you ?
Anyone of you ? Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you ?

Take it to your mother

Now as the starlets are scraping
Now he's as wide as the sea
And when you look all around you
He is what you see
All around the bed
He's gonna make sure you heard

Hey little world ! you know what you're getting
Oh please little world, It's kicking your head in

He's got them all lined up and they're ready to go
They're all lined up and that's what he saw
Hey little world, back in the ocean again

Whatcha gonna do ? Anyone of you ? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you ?
Anyone of you ? Whatcha gonna do ? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you ?
Whatcha gonna do ? Anyone of you ? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you ?
Anyone of you ? Whatcha gonna do ? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you ?

Hey little world, back in the ocean again ?
I said hey little world, back in the ocean again ?


6. A STROLL THROUGH HIVE MANOR CORRIDORS

(Instrumental)


7. WON'T BE LONG

No bright lights
No big city
Went to my head
So I wont stick around in this town
No I'm getting out instead

Cause I can't find a thing and get it done
Raise my heart and ring my ears
So I wont be stick around in this town
That's true

Cause I won't
And I can't
And I don't understand
You've become what you hate,
Or you hate what you've become ?

Got me a ticket and I won't be long
Cause I can't go on
And I gotta get gone
Got me a ticket and I won't be long
Cause I can't go on
And I gotta get gone away

So I make my way through the quagmire
Who's glorifying me?
You've passed the… in this city
So if I may be excused

Cause I won't
And I can't
And I don't understand

You've become what you hate,
Or you hate what you've become?

Got me a ticket and I won't be long
Cause I can't go on
And I gotta get gone
(x3)
Got me a ticket and I won't be long
Cause I can't go on
And I gotta get gone away

Well I won't be around for the good times
Won't be around for the bad
And I won't stick around in this town
No I'm getting out instead

And I won't
And I can't
And I live cause I can
And I won't be back again

Well I got me a ticket and I won't be long
Cause I can't go on
And I gotta get gone
(x3)
Got me a ticket and I won't be long
Cause I can't go on
And I gotta get gone away

And I gotta get gone away
Cos I gotta get gone away
Gotta get gone away


8. T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.

Welcome !

I know that it has been a long time coming
Your bought your tickets, you waited in line
You were walking and now you find yourself running
To get closer to the giant neon sign

Allow me to
Give you a clue

You're looking at black and white
Seeing our name in lights
Make you feel alright
Baby we're here all night

We rule the world
This is our world
We rule the world
This is our world

[Chorus]
T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.

You hold your breath and now it's silent
The humming of the amps is all you hear
Introducing for the fourth time running
Cause if you don't know we'll make it very clear

Ooooooooohhh
You know it's true

You're looking at black and white
Seeing our name in lights
Make you feel alright
Baby we're here all night

We rule the world
This is our world
We rule the world
This is our world

[Chorus]

When you're all ripped up around a quarter to ten
Gonna piece you back together by eleven and then
When you sweated it out and you're all soaking wet
Then we'll do it again

When you're all ripped up around a quarter to ten
Gonna piece you back together by eleven and then
When you sweated it out and you're all soaking wet
Then we'll do it again

We rule the world
This is our world
We rule the world
This is our world

[Chorus]


9. RETURN THE FAVOUR

Well we'd talk and talk and talk about it
But talk would do no good
We have little to next to nothing to talk about

And we'd talk and talk and talk around it
But talk would do no good
We have little to next to nothing to talk about

So nothing went from nothing then
And then back to the nothing I expected when
I return the favour
Is it time to go home ?

Ooh ooh

Now we can talk and talk and talk about it
Talk until we're blue
It's just a big jug full of stupid passing thru

It's like a boxer's goodbye, I'll see you Cassius Clayter
In French Muhammed ¡ Oui
Yeah we have little to next to nothing to talk about

So nothing went from nothing then
And then back to the nothing I expected when
I return the favour
Is it time to go home ?

It's a waste of time and a waste of space
It's just taproom talk through a drunken haze
I return the favour
Guess it's time to go home

Ooh ooh

I got my mind made up and it's getting clear
There's better things to go than staying here
I return the favour
And leave on my own


10. GIDDY UP !

So in the morning
And in the evening
We take the matter
Back in the saddle
Bedtimes are harder
We throw a party
We climb that ladder
Back in the saddle

Now look at all the fun
Now look at all the fuss
This town ain't big enough
Not for the both of us
We fight and disagree
We get so tired see
We're just a fusion babe
Be the solution babe

[Chorus]
A only way to reconsile is to get back in the saddle for a little ride
Giddy up now

So in the morning
And in the evening
We take the matter
Back in the saddle
Bed times are harder
We throw a party
We climb that ladder
Back in the saddle

Now look at silly me
Now look at silly you
Avoid a problem call
We only make a song
But i'm a said us such
That I dont mind too much
Like
Ride of to the sun

[Chorus]

So in the morning
And in the evening
We take the matter
Back in the saddle
Bed times are harder
We throw a party
We climb the ladder
Back in the saddle

[Chorus]

So in the morning
And in the evening
We take the matter
Back in the saddle
Bed times are harder
We throw a party
We climb the ladder
Back in the saddle

So in the morning
And in the evening
We take the matter
Back in the saddle
Bed times are harder
We throw a party
We climb the ladder
Back in the saddle


11. SQUARE ONE HERE I COME

Well, Don't have no money cause I don't have a job
Don't have a job cause I ain't got no skills
Ain't got no skills cause I was not trained
I was'nt trained cause I did'nt go to school
Did'nt go to school cause nobody told me
Nobody told me cause nobody knew shit
Nobody knew shit cause nobody knows nothing
Nobody knows nothing and that's just it, What can you do ?

You get what's given to you !
Square one here I come, here I come square one !
Square one here I come, here I come square one !

Don't have a home cause I don't pay no bills
Don't pay no bills cause nobody pays me
Nobody pays me cause I don't go to no work
Don't go to no work and that's just it, What can you do?

You get what's given to you !
Square one here I come, here I come square one !
Square one here I come, here I come square one !


I know what you say to me but baby it can wait
I just stop and take a look around and realize it's too late

No job !
No skills !
No money !
No nothing !

No nothing cause I want it for free
I want it for free all that is coming to me
So I look real hard for somebody to blame
Somebody to blame or an easy way out
An easy way out cause it ain't what's fun
The place that starts with a square and ends with a one, What can you do ?

You get what's given to you !
Square one here I come, here I come square one !
Square one here I come, here I come square one !

Get down, you feel stupid !
Don't try, you can't do it !
Can't win! Don't you forget it !
You missed out and get what's given to you !

Square one here I come, here I come square one !
Square one here I come, here I come square one ..!


12. YOU DRESS UP FOR ARMAGEDDON

Hey, believe me,
I have seen your sort before
You're all over history
Like dust on the kitchen floor
Tell me more

Your lips are moving,
You go on and on and on
You swing your rod, rod baby rod, rod
But don't swing it at me
Cuz it's not for me, no I disagree

Cuz I heard you before when you said
There is a hole in your heart and it's bleeding
You dress up for Armageddon
I dress up for summer
Yeah !

Hey and now you got their attention
You know, you gotta keep 'em believing
But as a matter of fact, what they believe you're not
Believing no more
Tell tell tell tell tell tell more

I hear you're one in a million
Tell me more
But there's a million of you
Tell, tell me more
You swing your rod, rod baby rod, rod
But don't swing it at me
It's not for me, no I disagree

Cuz I heard you before wehen you said
There is a hole in your heart and it's bleeding
You dress up for Armageddon
I dress up for summer

Who is that man with the microphone ?
Today he is here but tomorrow he is gone
But I disagree

Cuz I heard you before wehen you said
There is a hole in your heart and itâ??s bleeding
You dress up for Armageddon
I dress up for summer

You feel tortured and filled with regret
You say life is void of meaning
Are they not sick of you yet ?
Man that's such a, man that's such a bummer


13. PUPPET ON A STRING

Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight,
You hold on tight
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight,
You hold on tight
You hold on tight

Got your education from just hanging around
You got your brain from a hole in the ground
You come on up, look around for a will of your own
But your mind, yeah

Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string

With porcelain eyes and the mind of a monkey
Rode into town on the back of what looked like a dead donkey
So I do to you what a puppet master would do
Can you tell ? Yeah

Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string

You got your education from just hanging around
You got your brain from a hole in the ground
You come on up, look around for a will of your own
But your mind, yeah

Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight,
You hold on tight
You hold on tight

Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight,

Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight,
You hold on tight
You hold on tight


14. BIGGER HOLE TO FILL

Look out !

I pet the cat along the whiskers
And I always go along the grain
You'll never see me in the deep end
If' I ain't got nothing to gain
Don't serve the fool or act the donkey
If you allow me to explain

A man who fights for causes worthy of a fool
Is a fool to fights for causes that's the golden rule
I take it to the table know all know fix know how
But if I'm gonna do it again I ain't gonna do it now

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill

You see I have a proper education
I use enough to get me by
I got the answers to all problems
But I ain't even gonna try

Work hard and be honest take chance and stay true
just add it to the list of things that I ain't gonna do
Wherever there is a question a blurry answer's
here to find
I say I'm gonna help you but I'm gonna change
my mind

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill

Got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill
I got no time to spill- ohohoh

He's got no time to spill
He's got a bigger hole to fill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No he's got no time to spill
Cuz I got a bigger hole to fill

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
