I go dancing at the disco All the glancing boosts my ego I take my vodka with tequila Strut around in my 6 inch heelers oh oh oh oh I look around and see who's here Anyone that might appeal I there's a chance then you know ill take it if it aint real then you know ill fake it oh oh oh oh CHORUS If you want it, come and get it get it If you need it i will give it give it If you want it come and get it get it If you need it i will give it give it were a scenester generation we can have it all Sweat is dripping down on my face All my troubles evaporate Can't get the smile off of my lips Stamp my feet and I'm shaking my hips oh oh oh oh One more drink and the room is swaying Stay in the shadows cause my dealer needs paying I better leave before the lights come on Ive gone and danced all my make up off oh oh oh oh

My Place 03:34
Its the end of a night and everyones heading to a party We're all piling in the car, everyones feeling quite rowdy Theres always one or two at the back of you Wanna know where you're going cause they think they're going too And you have to stop and sat....HEY! Chorus Hello can you tell me who you are your not coming up to my place And who do you think you are, getting spin my face Think you can come round here, drink my beer Smoke all my cigarettes and disappear I said who invited you you're not coming up to my place I said who are you, who are you!? Its the end of night everyones heading to a party we're all piling in the house everyone is feeling quite lively Then there's a knock at the door you can't ignore And people standing there you never seen before Cant take this anymore Chorus We're in the morning light, my head feels a little fuzzy Its been a mad old night I'm tip toeing over the debris And then i see a sight i recognise Very two that i had dumped that night I can't believe my eyes Chorus
3.
And the boys go OH! Feel like im heading out to war, and i am fired up to go And all you girls you better know, i can make the boys go.... And the boys go OH! So if i get myself a reputation, if i get myself it situations Well im my very own creation, if i want it i will make it so And the boys go OH!

She's giving me the eye, she does it every time Gonna bring her down to size, there may be trouble There's menace in the sky, i tonight's the night Gonna make her see the light and have a rumble.... Ohhhh lets have a rumble Claws Flying, She's dying...we're catfighting There are no alibis for two faced jealous lies I know about your nights and drunken fumbles You've made your feeling clear you envy me my dear Why bring it here, lets have a rumble Ohhhh lets have a rumble Claws Flying, She's dying...we're catfighting

Its goes around my head, and im sick of it Im wishing you were dead, cause im so sick of it Indecision indecision, why can't i make this decision On a mission on a mission, get myself from this position Confusing amusing isn't that a contradiction Indecision indecision, why can't i make this decision. Its goes around my head, and im sick of it Im wishing you were dead, cause im so sick of it Indecision indecision, giving up of premonition Intuition intuition, only makes me more uncertain Confusing amusing isn't that a contradiction Indecision indecision, why can I make this decision Its goes around my head, and im sick of it Im wishing you were dead, cause im so sick of it So how didi get here, how could it go oh so wrong Now im stuck, is it really in my hands So who can i turn to, its getting me oh so down Im turning in circles, going round and round and round.

Daren Dear 03:03
Oh Darren Dear you have a problem i fear There is something wrong inside your head Your delusional, and i think its quiet odd You made her come that doesn't make you god She says hate but you hear love She walks away you follow her You twist her words, I've had enough Chorus She doesn't want you she doesn't need you She's told you till she's turned blue She doesn't want you, she doesn't need you She's told you again and again. Oh Darren Dear you need a doctor i fear Theres something wrong inside your little head Oh and your wicked tongue, its only bitten so long You can't keep it up your mask will always slip And if your touch her again ill be at your door And if you touch her again I'll break your jaw don't twist my words, Ive had enough Chorus

There are some girls in this big world Get their kicks from tearing other people down Always lying, always prying, making up what they can't find out So they call her mistress, little temptress, although she tries and tries to contest A little whisper in the right ear And before she knows what happened she's Talk of the town, oh she's, oh she's the, Talk of the town, and everybody knows They have their fund, the damage is done And they stand and watch her world crumble down All the spying all the lying its gone too far to go back on So they call her mistress, a little temptress And though she tries and tries to contest Little whispers in the right ears And before she knows what's happened she's Talk of the town, oh she's, oh she's the, Talk of the town, and everybody knows

Summertime 02:41
Summertime is fine when you and I are side by side Im wishing my life away, longing for those summer days again When our cares would melt away on the breeze It was so easy Now the winter is creeping in, i want to be there again Summertime is fine when you and I are side by side Sitting in a little secret place, watching all the world just pass us by We were heady from all the sun and the wine Oh it was so easy Now its seems a distant memory, will you still care for me come Summertime is fine when you and I are side by side Oh, its so cold alone, oh, its so cold alone, Now it seems a distance memory, will you still care for me come Summertime is fine when you and I are side by side

Skank 02:37
She walks into the room with a put down attitude Thinks everyones her enemy uses they have all proved They will follow her stiletto gang and match her shot for shot Forgive her when she slates them and stabs them in the back Chorus I can't believe that no one sees the lady is a skank Pretends that's she's prim and proper but she goes from man to man She really thinks she's special but i have to be quite frank That last is just trouble oh that lady is a skank She's a skank She's a foot dancing floozie only dates the boys in bands Cause in matters of popularity it give her the upper hand Her friends they al follow her admire what they see Dont realise she keeps them cause they are not as pretty Chorus It always ends the same at the end of every night Mascara running down her face she's looking like a fright And drunkenly she stumbles to the first guy she can find Takes him home to use him for a play thing for the night Chorus
10.
Going Out 02:42
The moon is rising high above this town Theres nothing in this world gonna get me down Moneys tight but it will be alright Get on your dancing shoes tonights the night We are going out! Oh AH....Oh AH This life too short to eat and sleep and work Whats the hells the point of looking if you can't touch Hell its your life you know it will be alright So get on your dancing shoes tonights the night We are going out! Oh AH....Oh AH

Bullet 02:47
Your dead you're so dead, you're not coming back Your eyes burning bright from a photograph Don't look at me don't look at me don't stare at me no more Down im falling down im falling falling on the floor Chorus Take your photograph to hide away where someone can never find This little picture is all that is left of you Out of sight, out of mind BULLET you're like a bullet in my mind Your gone your so gone why can I forget Take your eyes away from me take them somewhere else Don't look at me don't look at me don't stare at me no more Down im falling down im falling craving on the floor. Chorus
