Never fear a person's outlook
Looks can't kill and I'm not dead yet
I'm tired of having to sell my soul for another meal
Call it off cos God's stopped being
Reminiscent of the sixties
I'm not jumping through those hoops for you
Give me power today
Raise my heart rate
Who's fishing for notoriety
Who's an angel of society
Who's a good little soldier going off to war?
Why did you forget the reason
To leave the house without your keys and
Pray to enter, not to sleep, to sacrifice
Let this joke get worse
And you'll fade into dust
In living we trust
Homeless voices, who rejoices
Let me in, I'm out of choices
The devil's in the detail
And Jesus works in retail
I spend seven minutes loving you
And twenty years forgetting you
I stay upon the shelf
And if I can't be myself
We'll run away
Let this joke get worse
And you'll fade into dust

Breakdown
I'm going straight down
I wish I could stick around
It's going out
It's played down
So I don't make a sound
Cos you would go to ground
If you found out
Love you
Yeah I still love you
And now it's up to you
To turn this around
Impress you
I can only distress you
And now it's up to you
To turn this around
The same
Nothing has at all changed
The beast within remains unslain
And hope has died
In debt
Watch the Atlantic sunset
A life that I could never get
It was too little too late
Love you
Yeah I still love you
And now it's up to you
To turn this around
Impress you
I can only distress you
And now it's up to you
To turn this around
Love you
Yeah I still love you
And now it's up to you
To turn this around
Impress you
I can only distress you
And now it's up to you
To turn this around
Breakdown
I'm going straight down
I've had it with this town
It's going out

Matt Hartless & the Maverick 7 Manchester, UK
Many moons ago, Matt Hartless rode into town from across the Sea on horseback with nothing but a guitar and a song in his
heart.
Selling an aquatic horse would have made life easier, but that's not the Maverick way and Matt soon found himself recruiting troubadours from across Manchester to give the gift of Gypsy-ska-flamenco-folk-punk-rock to the world.
