Just Jack - Life Stories lyrics

This is for every life story every detail
Ex dot com millionaires
With shitty jobs in retail
Every ingrown toenail pile of junk mail
Driving test drive fail
Vain search for the Holy Grail
Every move you make every breath you take
Every 12in record your dumb
Girlfriend decided to break
And all the underachieving geezers getting
More lean and peezer
On melon Bacardi Breezers and
Skinny plastic cached reefers
And every impotent porn star
And the girls with the red lights
Doing tricks for Mars bars
Jack jack jack jack your body
And all the ravers that wish
They were back in '89
Because everything was so much
Better the first time


And all the bastards looking for
Change in the station
Every money grabbing musical collaboration
And every last member of the X generation
Addicted to the Internet
Drugs and masturbation

Forget me this is all about you
Forget us this is all about you
Forget we this is all about you
We are just the siphon
The sounds come through
Forget me this is all about you
Forget us this is all about you
Forget we this is all about you
We are just the siphon
The sounds come through

This is for every life story every chapter
Every memory stored and photograph captured
Cause even the most mundane things can
Shine forth like a beacon
Make your palms sweaty and knees' weaken
Well there is an awful lot
Of false gods speaking
We're scratching in the dark for
Something true to believe in
Just keep breathing
And hope that in the long run
That's a real hand you're tightly squeezing
This is for everybod' who got
Cussed down in the playground

And every bad boy who shitted
When his mates weren't around
And all the bedroom DJ's
Perfecting their skills
And every girl with a complex and
A handful of slimming pills

Forget me this is all about you
Forget us this is all about you
Forget we this is all about you
We are just the siphon
The sounds come through
Forget me this is all about you
Forget us this is all about you
Forget we this is all about you
We are just the siphon
The sounds come through

This is for every life story
Every intertwined tale of guts and glory
' Course some of them are
Nice and bright and corny
And some of them will shake
Your hand less warmly outlook still stormy
Every sweeping saga from the here
Now to the here after
Tall tales around the campfire
Tragedies of fallen empires
And everything that will and won't transpire
Sometimes it's just too dire bollackal
Carrying our stories like DNA
In hair follicles
Lugging chronicles like baggage handlers
I'm not sticking around
I'm shipping out with the ramblers
Collecting chapters of fractures and raptures
High on a cactus with a bunch of backpackers
Toasting backwards? with a shot of Cacha'a?
But that's another story
And I'll tell it if you let me
But in the meantime just
Remember to forget me
Forget me this is all about you
Forget us this is all about you
Forget we this is all about you
We are just the siphon
The sounds come through
Forget me this is all about you
Forget us this is all about you
Forget we this is all about you
We are just the siphon
The sounds come through
