HARD FREEZE LYRICS

THE CHEESEMAKERS - HARD FREEZE
Released Monday 18th February

Here are the full lyrics to the album 'Hard Freeze'

WAITING FOR THE RAIN


And now the soul train, Has gone and left me, No-One to find me, No soul to bind. It left the station, Three minutes early, Missed my connection, and now I’m blind. One day a rain will come, And wash the streets of scum, Until that day it dawns, Humility just yawns. Compassion stays on pause, Although it’s early doors, Destruction time again, As we wait for the rain. And now the soul train, Has gone and left me, No-One to find me, No soul to bind. It left the station, Three minutes early, Missed my connection, and now I’m blind. And now my heart has sank, Into the sea of shit.

LYIN’ TO ME

When did you leave, I read your note, I can’t conceive, It was what you wrote, You’re Lyin To Me. I think you made, The whole thing up, i’ll do a trade, I won’t shut up, No more Lyin’ To Me. I can’t explain, What you doin’ to me, I’m in pain, Baby can’t you see, I need you back. I will find, You n bring you back, I wouldn’t mind, But my world is black. You’re Lyin To Me, No more Lyin To Me, I need you back, Cos my world is black.

PICK IT UP AS YOU GO

There need to be some joy, For every girl and boy, This world is now a toy, That needs new batteries. You pick it up as you go, And carry this heavy load, From a prince into a toad, Compliments & flatteries. It’s all over before it’s begun. Twenty days go by, Without a fresh alibi, Now I don’t mean to pry, But it feels the same. As when Weller put it down, With a growl and twisted frown, We are gonna drown, And we’re all to blame. It’s all over before it’s begun, It seems our day is done, We need to feel the sun………on our skin. When I was growin up, When I was just a little pup, They said things were looking up, That was 30 years now. Its worse than ever before, You can stick your holy war, Its all been done before, Theres no sacred cow. Its all over before its begun

STREET TALK

Something going down, On the street below, We need a conversation, Tell me what you know. Something coming up, From the valley below, We have a situation, Tell me where to go. Street talk, street talk let me hear your street talk. Street talk, street talk I wanna hear your sweet talk. This is a jumble sale, No going back, We have a little cash to spend, On the bric-a-brac. No flash flood, Can wash it out, It would take a big tsunami, To flush it all out. Street talk, street talk let me hear your street talk. Street talk, street talk I wanna hear your sweet talk.

YESTERDAY’S PAPERS (MONOCHROMIA)

We’re yesterday’s papers. We’re yesterdays news, Yesterdays stories, Dressed in yesterdays shoes, We’re yesterdays newsprint, Condemned with yesterdays views. We’re yesterdays papers, We’re yesterdays news. Yesterdays Stop-Press, Paying yesterdays dues, Yesterdays headlines, Drenched in yesterdays blues. One day you cross the line, When you fail to make a difference, You come up to the wire, You pale to insignificance, And that’s you....and....I....my friend. We’re yesterdays papers, Yesterdays news, Yesterdays broadsheets, Filled with yesterdays views, We’re yesterdays typecast, In yesterdays shades and hues. One day you cross the line, When you fail to make the cut, You come up to the door, To find it so slammed shut, And that’s you....and....I....my friend. Outside of it all!

URBAN

All the people talking stocks and shares, While the crazy woman stops and stares. Shitty car music constantly blares. And there’s the guy in the useless flares. Penny pinching in the charity shop, Tramps vomit clogging up the mop, Short lived shops surely for the chop, Early mornings drinking hairy pop. And its all, because, we don’t, care. Throwing London rubbish in the street, Before you sit you must check the seat, Skivers whinging ‘bout the smell of meat, Normal people with the taste of defeat. Suddenly the temperature soars, Flashing lights from the blues n twos, City centre with a million wars, People attack with knives and shoes, Sobriety has its fees, Society on its knees

WATERFALLS

The waterfalls are high, The waterfalls are low, The waterfalls are everywhere. The waterflow is high, The waterflow is low, The waterflow is everwhere. And if you look into the sun, And if you look into the sky, If you’re searching for an answer, You may find, It’s all been answered long ago. The raging sea is high, The rolling sea is low, The raging rolling everwhere. The ragged wind it roars, The raping wind it soars, The ragged wind is everwhere. And if you look into the futureAnd if you look into the past, And if you’re searching for a story, You will find, It’s all been told long long ago. Have we seen, The end of the dream, Have we seen, The end of days

ROLLING STOCK

Hear the sound hear the sound of the rolling stock, Look at me look at me I’m a laughing stock, Touch the ground touch the ground with the chopping block, Take it wide take it wide it’s a broken lock, And we’re making no progress. Its a trial, No need to smile, It’s been a while, You mystify. Take the grail take the grail to the gravity, Stroke the snail stroke the snail save your sanity, Take a knee take a knee that’s the end of it, Hands free hands free that’s the poncy bit, And we’re making no progress. Understand understand it is all in hand, Make a stand make a stand in this dying land, Runaway runaway if it’s all too much, Don’t stay don’t stay if you’re out of touch, And we’re making no progress

MY SO-CALLED LIFE *

It’s not easy to be strong, When everything you do seems to be wrong. I’m trying hard but it’s not enough, I don’t get going when the going get’s tough. It’s not easy being one of the boys, I’ve got to be careful I’m not playing with toys, This is My So-Called Life, Yes it’s My So-Called Life. They say life is full of things to say, Full of things you maybe shouldn’t say, I’m gonna take it one day at a time, Just take it easy and the words will rhyme.

PINBALL

The times are changing as we speak, It gets worse from week to week, We try to keep our nerves, With a series of deft swerves. We used to live in harmony, Now that’s just a fallacy, We’re like a pinball on a table, A reactor that’s unstable. And it’s all just gone astray. It used to be simplicity, A simple story of what will be, Like lookin in a mirror, In time it became much clearer, It seems the past has gone away, Pastimes that couldn’t stay, But like a pinball on table, It bounce right back on a cable. But it’s all just gone astray. I guess we have to work out some more, Flex the muscle till we’re on the floor, Fill the suitcase to the brim, And get down to the gym, With the very best intent, We began the swift descent, But like a pinball on a table, It was clear we were unable. And now it’s all just gone astray.

SOUL TRAIN *

Standing in the station, Waiting for elevation, I am gonna try send my soul into the sky. I know that I can make it, I don’t need to fake it, I can walk the talk, I can talk the walk. Time to take a ride, No place to hide on the Soul Train, Time to step inside, No place to hide on the Soul Train. I made a reservation for mystic elevation, Now it’s up to me, Fulfil a fantasy. Don’t need a conversation to touch a revelation, Somewhere there’s a twist, Something that you missed. Nietsche cannot teach ya, The ways that I can reach ya, And there’s more to this, More to this. Somewhere in the twilight, Is a major highlight, Dancing in the arclight, Dancing in the arclight.

TONY *

Feel I’m fading, Feel I’m falling. Is it fate? It’s appalling. Anticipating, something stalling. It’s too late, Here I’m falling. I can’t belive you’d walk away, What you receive you give away. There is a squad, It’s a calling, In the lion’s den, It’s a mauling. No safety net to stop you falling, No insect spray, To stop the crawling. Society has lost it’s face, Society is a disgrace. On the streets, Cracks are showing, Into the abyss, we are going. The scum it breeds, And it’s growing, I can see it, It’s just knowing. Salvation comes when we attack, Salvation comes when we fight back!

SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES

I wanna wake in the morning light, Wanna open my eyes and for it all to be alright, For i still have faith in you. I wanna hold you when the darkness comes, Wanna tell you just a loser turns and runs, And ‘a loser’ ain’t describing you. I wanna see the sparkle in your eyes, Too long it’s faded by the tears you’ve had to cry, I know that you’re still in there. I’m gonna be here when the sunlight shines through, There’s only one girl for me and that’s you, I’ve seen you’re still in there somewhere. Hold on to me, In time you’ll see, The pain will fade and dim, And then you’ll win. So i’ll be waiting on the other side, Just like the time when you became my beautiful bride, We’re still the same people, you know. So hold your head up and be strong baby, We can make it there is no maybe, On and on together we’ll go
