The Beta Band lyrics

We're the Beta Band and we're nice and clean

We're always polite and hardly ever mean

Times have changed, we used to be smelly,

We lived in a squat 'til a punk nicked our telly

Since we've been signed we eat real good

We always wash our hands and chew our food

Quashis rotis are our favourite dish

Served spicy with chicken or fish

You like to feel that I will float away someday

I cried the hundredth time things never came my way

But I will find (x2)

Who's going to shake the corners of my mind today

What's in those dusty rooms I fear for in every way

But I will find (x2)

It's not *to* beautiful me now*

[should this be:]

[it's not too beautiful me now?]

Everytime I look to find I....

I'm going totally round the bend

I don't want to see my friends

I don't want to see my mad friend

Because he's driving me insane

I don't want to see my friends

I'm going totally round the bend

Earlier on today I tried to walk down the street

But my feet kept *slipping* on the pavement

I find myself at 90 degrees to the rest of the world

Tonight I stay home on the phone

Talking to the persons unknown

Take me another zone

This is my life on the phone

Well I feel like Donald Duck

Sold my eyes for an ounce of luck

And now my back's on fire

With burning *wire*

The people upstairs don't scream so high

I decided to fly off again

And flew really high above

away from the festival site

Running down the road in the middle of the light

Light don't mean its going to be alright

Running down the road in the middle of the light
Say to myself you're gonna be here all night

Tried to find myself *and* *grow*

**that way you know you see****

**I'll never see you go slow (x2)

Tried to find myself *and* *grow*

**That way you see I'll never go slow**

You tell me we never talk

And I won't share my thoughts

Then you hate my point of view

Because I don't agree with you

I've got 15 reasons not to spend my life with you

(25 reasons why I wouldn't want to)

**You love me with your lazy eye

Tell me not to do the things I do

(You're so lazy that you never do do)

You say that I'm a crazy guy

**you lost it, you stole it

**you bought it, you found it

**you broke it, you sold it

**you dropped it, you drowned it

**you thought it, you want it

**you flew it, you slew** it

**you glue it, you it

**you shopped it, you it

********????????????????

I'm in heaven when you smile

I'm in heaven when you smile

I'm in heaven when you smile

Listen to me when I go outside

I have an opposite reaction in my mind

Blood clots up and my eyes look down

Mouth never changes from a darkened frown

Pulse starts jumping and feet won't move

Seventy quid for these new shoes

Heart beat pumping and move the floor

Head is banging on a darkened door

Once upon a time I was falling apart

Now I'm always falling in love x4

I went down to the county drug store

I fought with the county law

I went out with my little boy and I told him

**Hun**, I can't see you no more

The cows in the field were silent

The sun lay in an orange bag

The wind blew round an island

But the people could never get back

My dog, my dog, my little black dog

He took a ride on the cookie train
