How Ace are Buildings lyrics

Turn it up
I don't know where you're plugging in
Listen up
Yeah, we're all set to begin
Turn it up
Because we hope you like it loud
Tune it up
Any second now
Making like
Cheeky Monkey grins
And for tonight
I'd love to let you in

Sick of you, how old do you think you are?
Never move, you think everything's too far
Telling you you're a fool but you don't wanna know
You think you do but let me tell you, you're not even close

I can't stay, you're in the way so
Listen when I'm talking
(x4)

It's better than alright
I'm out there every night
You said to me you might
But you won't

What kept you? I'm not bothered any more

My name is Jason
I'll rock yer face in
Cos I've got relations in my band
We like Van Halen
And Iron Maiden
I'll do the talkin', understand?

Cheeky Monkey
Cheeky Monkey
Yeah, you know I'm right
Do ya wanna fight?
I'll stay up all night
Just forget the time

Any time I want to
Any place I need to
I'll be there
Yeah, I'll be alright...

So get out the kitchen
Check out my pigeon

Got to get out more
Get in the place
Got to work out more
And sort out my face
I've got all the 'zines that tell me what to eat
And I'm tired of being told what to wear on my feet
And I don't have the time to get all worked up
About the year on the street

And it's not my fault, I can find my way
Yeah it's not my fault, there goes another day
I've been here too long, do I have to change

Bad idea (x4)
Ninety-nine per cent is great,
The other one percent I hate,
Little things keep bugging in my head

Wake up calls, smack and that, fashion cafe, friendly fire
GMTV, darker mornings and pay per view, litter dropping

I made a list, I got the lot and all
That stuff is all on top It's not fair but I don't care not me

Rocky Five, Indie shite, KKK, number crunching

Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long

Think I'm in trouble, there's always a couple
Around me wherever I go
They're out there to bug me
I don't think it's funny
Everybody's laughing at me, yeah

I wanna go out but there's no-one about
All my friends want a quiet one at home
The same age as me and
They're husbands-to-be, yeah

First stepped out of the aeroplane
Felt like I'd been here before
Took a [...] down, put a smile on my face
Felt like I could do more

How ace are buildings?
How big are the blocks?
Reminds me of London
Stuck in a graveyard

Six foot deep, bleaker street, no-one in town
People smile, never got the time
I look down, I cannot see the ground
The man who reads the news says there's no crime

You're always fighting everyone
You were wrong when you were young
You love to think you're on the run, oh!
Had to laugh at all your jokes
Had to tremble 'cos you smoked
Bet you'd never ever get my fun, yeah

You're the one to run from self they say (self they say)
I remember you back in the day (in the day)
Did my best to keep out of the way

Kicked it up in school, singing out of tune

I like the summer like you like your wife
Live in the master for the rest of my life

Every year since I was young
And always here and always fun,
Distant places, stinging faces
All at once I understand it's the summer

Over and over it's summer again
Fills up the sad hole in my head again

Sit for hours just passing vows to
Let their hair down to the sound
Distant places, stinging faces

I'd have my house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones who got away
I wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here

I find it funny
I laugh at people
And I don't know why
I sometimes giggle
If there's an earthquake
When good people die

I'd have my house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones who got away

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen it all
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I've heard it all
J.P wants to rock
Not at five o'clock he's not
There's a medal in the kitchen
For catching early worms
Yeah, yeah, yeah you're gonna bet
Yeah, yeah you're gonna learn

Don't bother waking me at five in the morning
'Cos I don't wanna know
Don't bother waking me at five in the morning
'Cos I don't wanna know

Thanks a bunch for staying with us tonight
Over lunch we'll talk about the lights

I need to go now, I need to drive round
I need to lie down

Thanks, I'm stunned, it's time to go
I promise you're the best friend
Then in the end, that wont make it so

I need to go now, I need to drive round
I need to lie down

Probably noticed, probably worth it, just about
