I remember when you was alive they never give you the time of day laughed at everything you had to say. I remember you took their spite even though you knew you were right, And now it seems that they’ve all seen the light Don't lay your flowers on my grave, Don’t pray for my soul to be saved Don't lay your flowers on my grave, Dry your eyes for me my babe, my babe I remember when you was alive they never give you the time of day laughed at everything you had to say I remember you took their shit when they said you were out of it And now it seems that their your biggest fans So don't lay your flowers on my grave, Don’t pray for my soul to be saved Don't lay your flowers on my grave, Dry your eyes for me my babe, my babe Don't lay your flowers on my grave, Don’t pray for my soul to be saved Don't lay your flowers on my grave, Dry your eyes for me my babe, my babe Don't lay your flowers on my grave, Don’t pray for my soul to be saved Don't lay your flowers on my grave, Dry your tears for me my babe, my babe

Path Of Love 03:25
I met a girl called Sadie May She didn’t really have that much to say I saw that girl and then I fell in love We went for a walk by the light of the moon And then we went back to her bedroom I kissed that girl then we fell in love Yeah we got married and we settled down But drinking took her out of town I kissed that girl we were still in love But she got shot at a poker game A dead man’s hand a crying shame I buried that girl we were still in love Why oh why oh why can’t you see What that girl means to me Why oh why oh why can’t you see That the path of love runs for eternity……..eternity It’s a long time Why oh why oh why can’t you see What that girl means to me Why oh why oh why can’t you see That the path of love runs for eternity And that the path of love runs for eternity And that the path of love runs for eternity Eternity

I Can Tell 03:29
The sun is out it hurts my eyes Can’t face facts only the lies Any excuse is all I need There’s no advice I wanna heed And when the laughter ends tomorrow There’s tears for years still left to fall I can tell, get a feeling I know so well I, I can tell Don’t want the pain I deserve It’s coming head on, I gotta swerve Try to cover up the signs This game of chance that we’re entwined And when the laughter ends tomorrow There’s tears for years still left to fall I can tell, I get a feeling I know so well I, I can tell HEY! And when the laughter ends tomorrow There’s tears for years still left to fall I can tell, get a feeling I know so well I, I can tell, get a feeling I know so well I, I can tell, get a feeling I know so well I, I can tell, I can tell you EVERYTHING

There was a story once upon a time, Where I was yours and honey, you were mine, A love so tender everything was fine, About the two of us. You kiss me now and you look away, It makes me feel I’m kissing yesterday, And now I really don’t know what to say, About the two of us. And she says…. Take me back to your home. Take me and make me your own. Take me please don’t leave me alone. ‘Cos I’m living on the streets, don’t want to die on my own. Living on the streets, don’t want to die on my own There was a story once upon a time, Where I was yours and darling, you were mine, A love so tender everything was fine, About the two of us. You kiss me now and then you look away, It makes me feel I’m kissing yesterday, And now I really don’t know what to say, About the two of us. She said…. Take me back to your home. Take me and make me your own. Take me please don’t leave me alone. ‘Cos I’m living on the streets, don’t want to die on my own. I’m living on the streets, don’t want to die on my own. Living on the streets, don’t want to die on my own. Living on the streets, don’t want to die on my own

You said that it would be forever We’d be husband and wife Before I knew it I began to hate my life You found yourself another man Our bedroom was the new Vietnam You shot away my civil rights When your shit hit the fan Get your act together or get out of my life Get your act together or get out of my life I don’t really need you round To drag me down So either get your act together right now or get out of my life As long as you’re around I’m split two ways Do I want the kind of woman that will drag me To an early grave Or would I appreciate some non narcotised faithful longevity Have to make a decision and girl you just no good for me Get your act together or get out of my life Get your act together or get out of my life I don’t really need you round You always drag me down So either get your act together right now or get out of my life I don’t really need you round To drag me down So either get your act together right now or get out of my life Get out my life

about

The Phobics London, UK

Formed in Deptford, South – East London in 1999 by a bunch of punk survivors and misfits with a love of raw rock n roll and sick of a smug and complacent music scene.
They've soaked in the blood of rock n roll, blow-torched the sacrament and written their songs in the ashes.
Enough killer tunes, hooks, sarcasm, and riffs to wake up the jaded and shake up the gogglebox generation.
