Nerves of Steel
​
I've told my story
I've laid my soul bare
I've told my side
We'll leave it there
​
And the truth will out,
The truth will out,
The truth will out,
Oh yeah
​
Chorus
​
I weathered the storm
I held my nerve
I really hope that you get
What you deserve
I weathered the storm
I held my nerve
I really hope that you get
What you deserve
You didn't reckon on me
Having nerves of steel now did you?
You didn't reckon on me
Having nerves of steel now did you?
​
I know what you are
I've laid it bare
So take your sides
We'll leave it there
​
And the truth will out,
The truth will out,
The truth will out,
Oh yeah
​
Chorus
​
I weathered the storm
I held my nerve
I really hope that you get
What you deserve
I weathered the storm
I held my nerve
I really hope that you get
What you deserve
You didn't reckon on me
Having nerves of steel now did you?
You didn't reckon on me
Calling off the deal now did you?
​
I've told my story
I've laid my soul bare
I've told my side
We'll leave it there
​
And the truth will out,
The truth will out,
The truth will out,
Oh yeah
​
Chorus
​
I weathered the storm
I held my nerve
I really hope that you get
What you deserve
I weathered the storm
I held my nerve
I really hope that you get
What you deserve
You didn't reckon on me
Having nerves of steel now did you?
You didn't reckon on me
Calling off the deal now did you?
​
I know what you are
​
I know what it's like
​
He doesn't use his fists
'Cause fists leave a mark
He does it all by stealth
Undercover and after dark
He takes the light from your heart
And puts darkness in its place
He takes the sparkle from your eyes
And wipes the smile from your face
​
Chorus
​
And I know what it's like
To tell the truth and be called a liar
I know what it's like
To tell the truth and have no-one believe you
I know what it's like to be pushed to the brink
And see them all still buying bully-boy a drink
​
He isn't what he seems
He's the devil in disguise
He beats you black and blue
But don't leave you with bruised eyes
​
He takes the light from your heart
And puts darkness in its place
He takes the sparkle from your eyes
And wipes the smile from your face
​
Chorus
​
And I know what it's like
To tell the truth and be called a liar
I know what it's like
To tell the truth and have no-one believe you
I know what it's like to be pushed to the brink
And see them all still buying bully-boy a drink
​
Yeah I see them all still buying bully-boy a drink

You Do Moody So Well
​
Misunderstood, misconstrued, misread yeah
I read that sign
Misunderstood, misconstrued, misread yeah
But it's all the time
​
Chorus
​
And you do moody so well
Give me that twisted feeling in my belly
You do moody so well
And I can't keep this from falling into hell
​
So pick your toys up and put them back in your pram
And love me for who I am
Or lets go our seperate ways
And life seperate days
'Cause I'm not just an ego stroker
And I've already played my joker
​
Repeat Chorus
​
You got your wand out
And you waved it well
I succumbed but not to your spell
So let's go our separate ways
And live seperate days
'Cause I'm not just your ego stroker
And I already played my joker
​
Repeat Chorus
​
Go to hell
