Why do you picture me? I'm not a fucking virus Why do you headline me? I'm not a fucking virus Why am I the story? I'm not a fucking virus Why do you endanger me? I'm not a fucking virus Cheap shots cheap journalism Crackpot yellowface-ism We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you with our sick tunes We'll infect you with our dance moves We’ll infect with our killer grooves That's how we'll infect you That's how we'll infect you That's how we'll infect you Leave off my family Because they're not a fucking virus They’re not some kind of disease Because they’re not a fucking virus But I’ve got friends who’ll stick up for me Because he's not a fucking virus Friends who’ll look out for me Because he's not a fucking virus Cheap shots cheap journalism Crackpot yellowface-ism We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you with our sick tunes We'll infect you with our dance moves We’ll infect with our killer grooves That's how we'll infect you That's how we'll infect you That's how we'll infect you Front cover to page 3 Why you have a go at someone like me Completely Deceitfully All to make a buck for your agency It's the eyes Dagger eyes It's the eyes Dagger eyes And the trumped-up headlines All you catch from me is a smart anecdote All you'll catch is a b movie quote All you'll catch from me is a smart dress sense All you'll catch is guitar nonsense We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you We'll infect you with our sick tunes We'll infect you with our dance moves We’ll infect with our killer grooves That's how we'll infect you That's how we'll infect you That's how we'll infect you

Can’t flirt with the girls at work Can't observe and perv at the shortness of their skirts What in the world is this coming too? A man can’t speak his mind! Have to read some non-verbal signs? To me you see this is PC gone mad! It's sad us lads being forced to feel bad? Oh hooray! what can we say? Oh I know, how about some equal pay? Treat us like humans, not objects of your amusement And whilst ya at it don’t tell us to smile and forget it It might not happen luv! It has please see above Eyes up here! Cuz ya time is up Cuz we had enough Eyes up here! Cuz we're now fed up And we're getting tough Eyes up here! Calm down dear Let's see more of that rear Eyes up here! We’re sick of your shit! Stop staring at my tits! It’s not as bad as it used to be I don’t know what the big deal is Can’t say anything anymore Around all these bloody feminists You can vote and work what more do you want You're just too emotional Is it your time of the month? How about correct your respect, check consent, and don't forget to protect our rights without your taunt But let’s make it clear in case there is anything you may have missed Let’s do the hetero male privilege check list Do you fear for your safety if you’re walking home late? NO! Concerned about getting groped whilst out dancing with mates? No! Have you ever compared pay checks and thought that aint right? Have you been called a slut for rejecting someone you don’t like? No! Sorry you don’t like your women aggressive but we’re here to deliver our message Eyes up here! Cuz ya time is up Cuz we had enough Eyes up here! Cuz we're now fed up And we're getting tough Eyes up here! Calm down dear Let's see more of that rear Eyes up here! We’re sick of your shit! Stop staring at my tits! Thank you lady thieves. I’m open to changing my beliefs, (Well Rome wasn’t built in a day But together we can smash the patriarchy) Eyes up here! Because time is up And it’s now enough Eyes up here! Because we're all fed up And we're getting tough Eyes up here! Let’s be clear There should be nothing more to fear Eyes up here! We’re still sick of this shit! Stop staring at my tits!

Yeah I've got pecs of steel Uh huh Yeah I've leadership skills Uh huh Yeah I've got sports car Uh huh Yeah my career will go far Girls don't care about my world view They just looking for some ooh ooh Girls adore my square jaw chin Girls adore my rice white skin Why don't you Push the paper Push the paper Push the paper Na na na na na na Push the paper Push the paper Push the paper Na na na na na na Man don't commit to politics I'm slick and quick with my chopsticks Man got abs that are sick And man got really big chest Why do you try hard anyway Geeks are sexier in every way I'm addicted to likes Take selfies on my exercise bike Why do you even bother When geeks make better lovers Don't say it's over Til I get you under covers Look at him Look at him I got all brand new car with all new trims Look at him Look at him My football club is going to win Look at him Look at him My iPhone ringtone's proper prim Look at him Look at him Torso A4 paper thin Push the paper Watch the football Place your bets on Na na na na na na Clean the pub out Get your guns out Flash the cash round Na na na na na na Man got sleek wristwatch Slapped on my Hugo boss The best things in life ain’t free I'm in love with shape of me Why do you try hard anyway Geeks are sexier in every way I'm addicted to likes Take selfies on my exercise bike Why do you even bother When geeks make better lovers Don't say it's over Til I get you under covers Hey girls wanna get with me? Not really you're d-baggie Come on Move on Say what? Just stop Hang out? Hang up Just read a book Why do you try hard anyway Geeks are sexier in every way I'm addicted to likes Take selfies on my exercise bike Why do you even bother When geeks make better lovers Don't say it's over Til I get you under covers

City of London Love 03:50
lyrics

We fall asleep in a mouldy room That is 5 by 5 foot 2 And the rent is due The faint sounds of the boys in blue You live in zone fifteen In a death trap from the 60s As we brush our teeth Get that London breeze Of fake cherry blossoms and dioxins Awake at 5:03 To shower beat rush hour To look at numbers on a screen Which I still don’t know what they mean We shared a Greggs near Hampstead Instead of dinner, the birds we fed Before they turned on me, I fled And they defecated on my head My City of London Love City London Love City London Love I can't lead the life you lead It was never meant to be My City of London Love City London Love City London Love I can't lead the life you lead It was never meant to be It was never meant to be It was never meant to be Our girl can't come to the phone Cos she’s at home and she’s not alone She’s found another bloke and from last time we spoke He’s hotter and not broke. She's bored with yer She's dumped yer And she doesn't want to see any more of yer Grab your stuff in the street she left she requests to please leave your keys by the steps Before you go She wants you to know It was a fling, a temporary thing And what you were packing Was extremely disappointing You're a small mind boy From a small mind town And your constant complaining just ground her down Now just move along And be gone And go and write depressing acoustic songs My City of London Love It was not love It was so not love I can't lead the life you lead It was never meant to be My City of London Love It was not love It was so not love I can't lead the life you lead It was never meant to be Well she meant nothing to me Oh really? No she meant nothing to me I thought she loved me How did it come to an end? I thought she loved me At least I thought we’d be friends Why can't he realise I can't empathise And won't apologise For the demise of a liaison That's now dead and gone He's such an infantile imbecile Who's not worthwhile Meanwhile he's cramping my style Now get off the phone And run along home Go and cry on your own My City of London Love It was not really love My City of London Love It was not really love My City of London Love It was not really love My City of London Love It was not really love

Hey Carrie Are you going to stand down Gonna back down Keep your head down Go to ground Uh oh For the love not the money Uh oh For the love not the money Hey Nathan Are you gonna break the law But what for Sow discord Does it matter any more Uh oh For the love not the money Uh oh For the love not the money Keep quiet, look away, keep your house and home But what’s love without the money Close down the bookshop Close down the newspaper and tv shows Love! Money! Love! Money! Coz everybody wants some Just keep your head down Zip it up to take those pennies home Love! Money! Your family still needs some Hey Josh Will you make the headlines Trouble online Over 89 or tow the party line Uh oh For the love not the money Uh oh For the love not the money Keep quiet, wash your hands, stay safe at home But what’s love without the money Close down the bookshop Close down the newspaper and tv shows Love! Money! Love! Money! Coz everybody wants some Just keep your head down Zip it up to take those pennies home Love! Money! Love! Money! Your family still needs some Will we stand up Raise our voices up Travel up Keep our heads up Not break up I just need a little space, need a little time I need a little time, need a little time Will we stand up Raise our voices up Travel up Keep our heads up Not break up I just need a little space, need a little time I need a little time, need a little time It's not about the love It's not about the money It's not about the love It's not about the money I need a little time Need a little time For some love It's not about the love Love It's not about the money Money It's not about the love Love It's not about the money Money I need a little time Need a little time For some love
