(i - The Death of St Jimmy) 
     
 
     
 
            
My heart is be

Please call me

          
    only 
 
           
If you are com

year flies by 
 
             
Wait a night o

          
r two 
 
             
You taught me 

               
how to live 
 
        
 
        
 
             
In the streets

         
 of shame, 
 
              
Where you've l

             
ost your dream

             
s in the rain,

          
 
 
              
There's no sig

          
n of hope, 
 
              
The stems and 

             
seeds of the l

              
ast of the dop

                 
e, 
 
              
There's a glow

         
 of light, 
 
             
The St. Jimmy 

              
is the spark i

                 
n the night, 
 
              
Bearing gifts 

         
and trust, 
 
              
The fixture in

             
 the city of l

      
ust

easure and wha

Do you dream t

#

Do you think w

              
hat you need i

                     
s a crutch? 
 
 
        
 
             
In the crowd o

            
f pain, St. Ji

              
mmy comes with

             
out any shame,

            
 
 
              
He says "We're

                   
 fucked up", 
 
             
But we're not 

             
the same, 
 
              
And mom and da

(iii - Nobody Likes You) 
 
            
I fell asleep 

             
while watching

                       
 Spike TV, 
 
             
After 10 cups 

            
of coffee, 
 
              
And you're sti

              
ll not here, 
 
             
Dreaming of a 

         
song, 
 
             
When something

                      
 went wrong, 
 
              
And you can't 

              
tell anyone, 
 
             
'Cos no one's 

        
here 
 
            
Left me here a

When I should 

              
have stayed ho

After 10 cups 

          
of coffee, 
 
      
I'm thinking,

(v - We're Coming Home Again) 
 
...        
 
        
 
 
 
Here they come marching down the street, 
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat, 
Coming back from the edge of town, 
Underneath their feet 
 
  
 
The time has c
Nobody ever sa
Go-carts and g
In the summer 

ome and it's going nowhere, 
id that life was fair now, 
uns are treasures they will bear, 
heat 
 
  
 
             
The world is s

             
pinning around

                       
 and around, 
 
              
Out of control

    
 again, 
 
  
 
             
From the 7-11 

             
to the fear of

            
 breaking down

          
, 
 
             
So send my lov

            
e a letterbomb

To visit me in

We're the ones

        
 going 
 
  
 
 
Home.

As soon as my
