We Attack at Dawn

From the dark of the night
As the smoke starts to clear
Time to rally the troops
Our moment is near
Arms raised to the sky
Sound the blast of the horns
From brass into bullets
We attack at dawn!

(Verse 1)
One more time
Line by line
It’s how I play along
Try’na fake my way all through the chorus line
(Verse 2)
Who’s that band
Catch that tune
Before it fades away
Playin’ old school ska that’s not on the radio
(Chorus)
We skank on
Circle to the middle
Join the throng
Dancin’ away
We fight on
Danger in the middle of the floor
(Verse 3)
Got no dough
The beat won’t slow
My rhythm’s here to stay
Gonna keep on rockin’ on till the break of day
Verse 4
Get down low
Go with the flow
We’re staying out tonight
Keep the party raging on until it’s light
(Chorus)
We skank on
Circle to the middle
Join the throng
Dancin’ away
We fight on
Danger in the middle of the floor
(Chorus)
We skank on
Circle to the middle
Join the throng
Dancin’ away
We fight on
Danger in the middle of the floor
(Outro)
Danger in the middle of the
Dancefloor, Dancefloor
Movin’ all over the dancefloor
Dancefloor, Dancefloor
Danger in the middle of the floor

World Tonight
03:18

(Verse 1)
Another boring day
Wishing all our time away
It’s all a bit
It’s all a bit the same
And now it plays my song
And as it plays I sing along
The silence like a gong
has hit us…
(Pre-chorus)
And I want to
Play the blues again
But I need to
Go oh oh
(Chorus)
Night time
Drive time
We’re miles from the middle of nowhere
Someone
No one
Seems to care
We’re young
So dumb
Time seems like it’s getting us nowhere
Could we dream of the world tonight
Yeah the world tonight
(Verse 2)
I don't want to stay
I just want to go and play
But the boredom and the apathy remain
And now it plays my song
And as it plays I sing along
The silence like a gong
has hit us…
(Pre-chorus)
And I want to
Play the blues again
But I need to
Go oh oh
(Chorus)
Night time
Drive time
We’re miles from the middle of nowhere
Someone
No one
Seems to care
We’re young
So dumb
Time seems like it’s getting us nowhere
Could we dream of the world tonight
Court we dream of the world tonight
Yeah the world tonight

¿Por Qué No?

Can't find the words
for the verse
or the lyrics to this song
going round in my head
I’ve been trying all day long to play
No more I say
Por qué no
cantar en español?
Por qué no?
Just sing it slow
Por qué no?
I don’t speak español
Por qué no?
It just won’t flow
Try as I might
to translate
from this app onto the page
It’s not right
I’ll just quit
It’s in vain to use Duolingo
like a gringo
Por qué no
cantar en español?
Por qué no?
Just sing it slow
Por qué no?
I don’t speak espanol
Por qué no?
It just won’t flow
Por qué no
cantar en español?
Lo siento
Just sing it slow
Por qué no?
Yo hablo espanol
Por qué no?
Estoy listo.

Verse 1
They all swipe right thinking that I’m pretty
They never notice until it’s too late
They can’t see past the legs and lip filler
To see the real me, the serial killer
Going on a date, I have sealed his fate
Chorus
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Verse 2
They all think that I’m, I’m just a nice guy
There to hug them, whenever they cry
Never seeing the Dexter inside me
They all seem shocked by
The killer they see
Going on a date, it’ll be too late
Chorus
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Verse 3
My heart beats faster when our eyes meet
He seems to notice, the real me inside
It is a match, destined to join forces
Together forever, on this murderous ride
What a perfect date! Found my soulmate!
Chorus
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Don’t you know
Don’t you know
Don’t you know I’m not like the others
Outro
Don’t you know
Don’t’ you know
Don’t you know
We’re just like each other

Rally Cry

(Verse 1)
Cut me with your stare
Talking big you’ve got so much to say
While silence fills the air
Really like the sounds you used to play
(Verse 2)
Conspiracies abound
In everything that makes our world go round
They always try to break
Shake me till I fall onto the ground
(Chorus)
Sundown to midnight you’ll see us fly
We’re all here tonight with the rally cry
Bulletproof comin’ out from the underground
Brother sister shout it out can you hear the sound
(Verse 3)
Soldiers in a war
How can they be staring down deaths door
Knowing we’ll hold fast
Hold on to a real love that will last
(Verse 4)
Standing in the way
We’re the building blocks that will not sway
Screaming in the rain
Let it out to slowly heal the pain
(Chorus)
Sundown to midnight you’ll see us fly
We’re all here tonight with the rally cry
Bulletproof comin’ out from the underground
Brother sister shout it out can you hear the sound
(Chorus)
Sundown to midnight you’ll see us fly
We’re all here tonight with the rally cry
Bulletproof comin’ out from the underground
Brother sister shout it out can you hear the sound

(Verse 1)
Take my hand
Why don’t you understand
I want to be a man
Just like you are
(Verse 2)
Dance with me
I can’t see anything
It is my destiny
I want to fly high
(Chorus)
Coz every time I look at you
I know what’s in your head
I know it all before it has been said
So when will I be ready for
the future that’s ahead
Or should I sit here looking sad instead
(Verse 3)
Win the day
I’m going all the way
It’s time for me to play
I’m in the game yeah
(Chorus)
Coz every time I look at you
I know what’s in your head
I know it all before it has been said
So when will I be ready for
The future that’s ahead
Or should I sit here looking sad instead
(Chorus)
Coz every time I look at you
I know what’s in your head
I know it all before it has been said
So when will I be ready for
The future that’s ahead
Or should I sit here looking sad instead

The Dream
03:59

I’ve got a song running through my brain
Forcing me to wake up
Na na na na na goes the refrain
Jump out of bed gotta get it all out
Creative mind working while I sleep
Nocturnal inspiration
Up on stage hearing the fans scream
Dancing and singing and shouting it out!
I hit record and I punch it out
This one is a keeper
It’s an earworm I have no doubt
I’m no Luther King but I had a dream
I’ve got ska running through my veins
Even when I’m sleeping
Go go gadget song writing brain
Dream me a song to bring me the fame
(Bridge)
I don’t know why this song keeps going
On and on and on this song keeps going
And now its stuck in my head, head, head, head, head [repeat to fade]

Seamus (Bonus)

Down at the farm lived Peghead Joe
A towering man with an unkempt mo
He told me a tale of literal madness
Touch of horror, full of sadness
About a little pig whose name is Seamus
Cute little guy but he had no anus
Can’t eat or drink or he will burst
But if he doesn’t drink he’ll die of thirst
You might think that it’s quite heinous
Song a bout a pig that’s got no anus
But he’s a piglet to behold
The story of Seamus must be told
I’m a little pig and my name is Seamus
I’m a little pig but I’ve got no anus
Can’t eat or drink or I will burst
But if I don’t drink I’ll dies of thirst
He’s a little pig and his name is Seamus
He’s a little pig but he’s got no anus
Can’t eat or drink or he will burst
But if he don’t drink he’ll die of thirst.
