‘Aliens’ Lyrics

They killed those aliens
Well, I did not believe ’til Mulder showed Scully
He said “I told you so”, and then hung up the phone
Yeah, they killed those aliens

Saw a movie yesterday
They killed the aliens and got away
Mulder had it all worked out
In a South Park Episode, the fat boy, Cartman, had an anal probe
Eighty-foot satellite dish out his ass
Yeah, they killed those aliens

I want to kill some aliens
There’ll be no more confusion
‘Cause they abducted my friends, I’m gonna chase them ’til the end
Yeah I want to kill some aliens

They killed those aliens

‘Palmerston North’ Lyrics

Ain’t gonna go to Massey today
‘Cause I swear I am too bored
And my bike is getting lonely
Where it sits against the wall
Got to get some motivation (To go to my lectures)
Got to get some motivation ( To go to my lectures)
And I’m feeling depressed, and it’s only Tuesday
Gotta get some motivation
Well I swear it is this town
I swear it is my town

Where its always raining
When I bike down Fitzherbert Avenue
And they wonder why The Fitz is so full
And the wind keeps blowing.
It’s the wind I hate the most
Yet still I call it home, my home
Home, my home

Ain’t gonna go to Massey today
‘Cause I swear I am too bored
Got a roof, gonna go up on it
And consume some alcohol
Got to get some motivation (To go to my lectures)
Got to get some motivation ( To go to my lectures)
And I’m feeling depressed, and it’s only Tuesday
Gotta get some motivation
But there’s music in this town
Yeah, we’ll be screaming out, From my town

In Palmerston North
Still I call it home
Still I call it home
And I can’t believe it
I tell my friends they should all get out

‘She Was Never One For Words’ Lyrics

Another Saturday in Palmy
I thought I’d try to have some fun
So I went to a party and I was talking to this girl
And she seemed a little weird and she said:
“who o o o ” and I thought, “what the hell does that mean?”

She was never one for words
She was never one for words

Hey, weren’t the 90s funny
Say what the hell happened there?
Did we do anything worth telling?
Please tell my PC I don’t care
Like Billy Joel I say it’s the same old rock and roll to me
Oh yeah, it’s the same old rock and roll to me

Down at the bar they’re drinking Tui
And its looks like Jonah is gonna score
Staring at my beer singing, I’m still here but is there anyone here for me?
Oh yeah, is there anyone for me?

It’s been a few years since that party
And I saw that girl just a week ago
I caught her eye and we were smiling
And through those eyes I saw her soul
And we both knew that those others just don’t get it
And I said “who who o o”
And she said “lah da dee dah da oh yeah”
And we were out the door and I knew for sure she’s not for anyone but me
Oh yeah I knew for sure she’s not for anyone but me.
Like Billy Joel I say it’s the same old rock and roll to me
Oh yeah, it’s the same old rock and roll to me
She was never one for words

‘Fucking Ordinary’ Lyrics

December came and the wind
Blew away my waves
I was pissed off
Nothing left to do but go insane
And play guitar all fucking day
Yeah, but that’s okay
That’s okay, I don’t mind

But I don’t know why
I’m not surfing now

But what was I supposed to do?
She had an operation
Changed her face
Changed the rules
Now I don’t recognise her at all
Said she’s been overseas
Yeah, in San Francisco
At least she’s not
Not gonna be
So fucking ordinary

January, February
The wind has gone away
But it’s so hot, so damn hot
They’re saying it’s El Nino
But all we know
Is that it’s better than
What we had last year
Yeah, give me global warming

The last time I saw her
I was dreaming
Should’ve been paying more attention
To what was going on around me
Oh, how could I have been so stupid?

I rang, I lost
I think I saw it from a long way, far off
Can’t go for second best now
But I’m not down and out again

But I still don’t know why
I’m not surfing now

Yeah I guess it’s all my fault
Yeah, it was my inaction
But she changed, changed herself
Now I don’t recognise her at all
She said she’s been overseas
Yeah, in San Francisco
At least she’s not, not gonna be
So fucking ordinary
Like you
