Lazy Habits - The BreachLazy Habits - The Breach
I walk this beat
Feel each hit
I've fallen in
My blood streams
I'll walk this beat
I'll try to man the breach
The breach, the breach
I'll try to man the breach
The breach
And I'm in this, and it's been so long
It's hard to know what you did right and what you did wrong
Will the scales stay balanced at the end of the song?
Coz it's all that I really wanted to be was strong
To fall get up go on, but I aint gonna drive straight line like Tron
Me? I work my own legacy, predatory like payday loans
So sick of autotunes and monotones,
Intent on the crown in this game of thrones
You found your house so where's you home
Where's your home?
I walk this beat
Feel each hit
I've fallen in
My blood streams
I'll walk this beat
I'll try to man the breach
The breach, the breach
I'll try to man the breach
The breach
Walking the wall, exposed to the elements
Observant of all but obscured from the relevance
The journeys developing, enveloping us all
Push the first domino, watch it fall
Effects of the sprawl, the fires we have started
Slammed on the breaks but its black ice the car slid
Lonely in conflict, the cost of an artist
Cast as a convict, a bull's eye to target
In December when it's dark before the morning even starts
And each remark is like a dart, so poisonously sharp
And nobody even laughs
And every business is in debt and understaffed
So who gifts a craft
Sieved through fools gold in a mine shaft
Bring out your dead bring out your dead
I push the cart
I walk this beat
Feel each hit
I've fallen in
My blood streams
I'll walk this beat
I'll try to man the breach
The breach, the breach
I'll try to man the breach
The breach
Lazy Habits - Even OutLazy Habits - Even Out
Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack
Who was always looking forwards and never looking back
The careers officers at our school always used to
Say that Jack was the one who had the brighter future
But now Jack's dead with a crack in his head
Slumped in an alley like a sackful of lead
It was the crack they said but, I know better
Cause I knew Jill was trouble from the moment that I met her
She was not just a pretty face, had a hat rack
Knew that dreams disappear like pussy out the cat flap
Round her little finger she had Jack wrapped
Till that lab rat thought that he was in the rat pack
But when cat meats rat, only one winner
Law dictates that one becomes dinner
True that at night he could ignite a light in her
But could he make a grand on the streets like Mike Skinner
So,
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Looking back on the course of events
I see what Jack had in heart he was lacking in sense
Jill was into fashion and she studied in Kent
She had enough money for shoes but never for rent
She needed money quick and Jack knew a fast way
Started selling class A's to all Jill's classmates
Led him half way down a dark pathway
I said 'I don't care if you're making a killing Jack that's a daft way'
Try to make a living, if you ask me your arse may
End up in prison where it's ghastly
And when you're sick and feeling queasy and your arse aches
Picking up the pieces won't be easy like when glass breaks
Him 'Me and Jill moving in to the house on the hill in Ill
And she's only willing if I'm continuing dealing
Besides I'm making a killing, moving a kilo
It'll all be fine and dandy' 'Jack it's not even the Beano'
So,
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Truth is me and Jill we go way back
Started in a bar and grill, finished in a haystack
And when it ended guess the wounds never mended
She went from 'please please please' to the big payback
I guess I always figured it came down to the day that
Her dad went for a cigarette and never came back
Her mum never wrote a note, put on an overcoat
Took an overdose, lay down on a train track
Shame that, but that's how life goes
One minute you're an innocent the next you're a pyscho
The night Jack died I saw Jill in her nightclothes
Blood dripping from her right hand holding a pipe hose
Looking round at the state of the slaughter
I said 'Jill you'd better get a pail of the water'
The truth is I never really liked Jack
And now I've got your flat hat, crack and your cat
So,
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down does it ever even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
Deep down it will never even out, does it even even out, even out in the long run
