Time To Riot
appears on: Time to Riot 7″ (single), Overused
info: recorded April 1998 at Reel II Real Studio, London
lyrics: It’s my time to riot
It’s bleak and I’m quiet
Take you to the top of the pile
There’s been way to much time
And now the shit’s on the line
I’m coming down to claim what’s mine
Take me
It’s gonna be here just to waste me
I’m rounding it up
And inspite all your love
It still shakes me
Imitate ’til you bleed
It’ll take all you leave
And it’s my time, it’s my time to riot
It’s my time to riot
It’s bleak and I’m quiet
Take you to the top of the pile
There’s been way to much time
And now the shit’s on the line
I’m coming down to claim what’s mine
Take me
It’s gonna be here just to waste me
I’m out of your reach
But it’s all that you take to erase me
Imitate ’til you bleed
Imitate ’til you bleed
And it’s my time to riot

lyrics: It’s colder than the last wind
My heart’s the size of oak
No state to recognise here
We’re stronger than we’re told
Save your sorrow
Don’t forget that you’ve paid
I hate to leave it in the way
And I doubt of what you got now
The weight of the load
The chances you finally hold
Still colder than the last wind
The last wind stroked my soul
No state to recognise here
Still thawing from this cold

lyrics: I don’t have a problem in staking a claim
While all the time you change the signs
Give us the right means to run on it’s own steam
Finding the time you change the signs
Gotta run on time
Change this old mind
What a life to find
I don’t remember being a face on your wall
For all your sins
You do it with a smile and a grin

lyrics:
When the time comes it seems so strange
What a mad day, what a mad day
Got a sign you spell out to the scene
On this mad day you run out on me
And it’s real
All these broken words
Only lead to adding up the plate
Got to cover every dream has a meaning too
On a mad day what a mad day
Got a ticket take you mile on mile
Oh mad day don’t run out on me
And it’s real
All these broken words
Only lead to adding up the plate
So get real only give to receive
Another heartache is coming
You make it so easy
You’ve made up your mind
So hit the ground running
You like what you find
You hit the ground running
You’ve made up your mind
So hit the ground running for free yeah
On this mad day you run out on me
Kind of man that sits on his feet
What mad day what a mad day
Find the time you say I’m for free
On this mad day you run out on me
And it’s real
All these broken words
Only lead to adding up the plate
So get real only give to receive
Another heartache is coming
You make it so easy
You’ve made up your mind
So hit the ground running
You like what you find
So hit the ground running
You’ve made up your mind
So hit the ground running for free yeah
On this mad day you run out on me
On this mad day you run out on me
