Life Stories

This is for every life story 
Every detail 
Ex-dot com millionaires 
With shitty jobs in retail 
Every ingrown toenail 
Pile of junk mail 
Driving test drive fail 
Vain search for the Holy Grail 
Every move you make 
Every breath you take 
Every 12in record your dumb(dumped?) girlfriend decided to break 
And all the underachieving geezers getting more lean and peezer 
on melon Bacardi Breezers and skinny plastic cached reefers 
And every impotent porn star 
And the girls with the red lights doing tricks for Mars bars 
And all the ravers that wish they were back in '89 
Jack jack jack jack your body 
Because everything was so much better the first time 
And all the bastards looking for change in the station 
Every money grabbing musical collaboration 
And every last member of the X generation 
Addicted to the Internet drugs and masturbation 

Forget me this is all about you 
Forget us this is all about you 
Forget we this is all about you 
We are just the siphon the sounds come through 
Forget me this is all about you 
Forget us this is all about you 
Forget we this is all about you 
We are just the siphon the sounds come through 

This is for every life story 
Every chapter 
Every memory stored 
And photograph captured 
Cause even the most mundane things can shine forth like a beacon 
Make your palms sweaty and knees' weaken 
Well there is an awful lot of false gods speaking 
We're scratching in the dark for something true to believe in 
Just keep breathing 
And hope that in the long run 
That's a real hand you're tightly squeezing 
This is for everybod' who got cussed down in the playground 
And every bad boy who shitted when his mates weren't around 
And all the bedroom DJ's perfecting their skills 
And every girl with a complex and a handful of slimming pills 

Forget me this is all about you 
Forget us this is all about you 
Forget we this is all about you 
We are just the siphon the sounds come through 
Forget me this is all about you 
Forget us this is all about you 
Forget we this is all about you 
We are just the siphon the sounds come through 

This is for every life story 
Every intertwined tale of guts and glory 
' Course some of them are nice and bright and corny 
And some of them will shake your hand less warmly 
Outlook still stormy 
Every sweeping saga from the here now to the here after 
Tall tales around the campfire 
Tragedies of fallen empires 
And everything that will and won't transpire 
Sometimes it's just too dire 
Bollackal 
Carrying our stories like DNA in hair follicles 
Lugging chronicles like baggage handlers 
I'm not sticking around 
I'm shipping out with the ramblers 
Collecting chapters of fractures and raptures 
High on a cactus with a bunch of backpackers 
Toasting backwards? with a shot of Cacha'a? 
But that's another story 
And I'll tell it if you let me 
But in the meantime just remember to forget me 

Forget me this is all about you 
Forget us this is all about you 
Forget we this is all about you 
We are just the siphon the sounds come through 
Forget me this is all about you 
Forget us this is all about you 
Forget we this is all about you 
We are just the siphon the sounds come through
