Intro
Lend me your heat beam eye blast
Your breath as cold as ice
Give me your strength your speed I'll
Take my chance now roll the dice
Chorus
Give me the power to be a hero
Let my story unfurl
Give me the power to be a hero
And Ill change the world
Verse 1
Witnessing the rise of a villain, building steam
They're recruiting an army, building up a team
I see 'em amass in the millions
Hiding in plain sight, with the civillians
Heck, some of 'em are infamous
I see 'em on TV they've got it in for us
And I, can't stand Idly by
While they're ruining lives, 'cuz too many die
We gotta rise as a group, individuals fall
An injustice to one is an injustice to all
Vigilant vigilantes do what you can please
But its up to all of us to plant seeds
Some of us fear loads, we can't do zero
You don't need super powers to be a hero
Man, mouse, soldier, amoeba
Im asking all heroes to
Chorus
Give me the power to be a hero
Let my story unfurl
Give me the power to be a hero
And Ill change the world
Verse 2
Heroes rise and do whats right
Time to buy spandex or some nice tights
Don a nick-name, an alter ego
'Cus we know dishonour is sold in kilos
And we wont kill, but they will, so
I'll never know how they stoop so low
The world is ours, man they crossed a line
I'll watch your back will you watch mine
Here's the sign, when I finish a line of rhyme
Im, really telling you now's the time
The climax of action, choose your faction
Good or evil, where lies your passion?
Are you a hero or a villain?
Or are you always the victim like Krillin?
Man, mouse, soldier, amoeba?
Im asking all heroes to give me the
Bridge
I cannot promise you victory
But I'll try
I cannot erase your history
Or mine
But I'll try to do whats right
For as long as I live
And I'll try to take
Much less than I give
Chorus
Give me the power to be a hero
Let my story unfurl
Give me the power to be a hero
And Ill change the world
Give me the power to be a hero
Let my story unfurl
Give me the power to be a hero
And Ill save the world

Bad Boy

Chorus
I know you like bad boys
You like the danger
Bad boys, will treat you like a stranger
Well theres something you should know
That from many year ago
Will be the truth until i'm done
I'm as bad as they come
Verse 1
Man. I play knock a door run, like every day
'Cuz I just don't give a damn
I'll stroke your dog the wrong way
Catch me if you can
And I don't really care, 'Mr. Council'
About all your signs
'Cuz imma stay on this grass patch all day long
As I chillax and unwind
Check me out riding bikes no handed
No seat and no breaks bro, standard
Live life on the edge no health and safety
It'll take the whole justice league to contain me
I take free samples, more than one
Spray your perfume till its all but gone
Ill take the wheel off your trike, to put it on my bike
'Cuz
Chorus
I know you like those bad boys
You like the danger
Bad boys, will treat you like a stranger
Well theres something you should know
That from many year ago
Will be the truth until i'm done
I'm as bad as they come
Verse 2
Call me, 'Mr Danger' I talk to strangers
And I aint had my five fruit or veg in ages
Go with it, no need for a 'B plan'
Never look both ways or wait for the green man
Feed animals at the zoo, sinister
I bring my own popcorn to the cinema
Don't follow the recipe, when I cook
And this one time I returned a library book
Three days late 'cuz I'm a
Chorus
Bad boy
You like the danger
Bad boys, will treat you like a stranger
Well theres something you should know
That from many year ago
Will be the truth until i'm done
I'm as bad as they come

All Right [Live]

Intro
I never knew my dad, so I can't be like him
I know how real men look, so I'll go join a gym
And keep my mind nice and hollow
And all the ladies will follow, then their time I will borrow
I might be happy tomorrow
But maybe not
But maybe not
But maybe not
But maybe not
Verse 1
Growing up was hard for me
Feeling like I didn't know half of me
Home alone with unknown chromosomes
Another mans blood in my arteries
At times unstable, now I'm able
To be real, put my cards on the table
Avoid detection, avoid danger
Look at my reflection and not see a stranger
Chorus
I see the blue world, through my brown eyes, Its nice
I don't know where this road leads
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
Verse 2
Yo
Let me just be real for a minute
Forget the catchy hooks, similes and gimmicks
My name's Daniel, I'm 21
I write songs and I live with my mum
I'm still on the hunt for a job
I'm still tranna get my body looking buff
I'm still on a search for that wealth
Im still tranna find myself
No more lies, I take off my disguise
Look into my eyes, see a normal guy
Ordinary, flesh and bone
After a show I go home alone
No muckies or floozies
Excuse me, introduce me
To a single groupie
I'd probably marry her, a hopeless romantic
Heart in a carrier, I frantically thank it
Chorus
I see the blue world, through my brown eyes, Its nice
I don't know where this road leads
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right
Outro

Beautiful
02:46
|
|||
Chorus
Everything she sees makes her think she's worthless
All the magazines, tell her she's not perfect
Blind to the beauty of herself
And all her dreams involve being, somebody else
Verse 1
Every time she sees her reflection, without warning
Her heart stops, what she sees is appalling
Its the same everyday that she wakes up
So she hides her tears behind make up
Layers and layers, coated disguise
Can't see it's all lies when she looks in her eyes
She doesn't see the magic that everyone else does
Blame the size zeros, she doesn't know how health looks
She hates what she sees, she wants double D's
A thinner nose and straighter teeth
Darker skin a more slender figure
Curves in different places and her bum bigger
Her boyfriend tells her she's perfect
But she cant believe him, they're just words when
Everything else in her life disagrees
How could she possibly believe
Chorus
Everything she sees makes her think she's worthless
All the magazines, tell her she's not perfect
Blind to the beauty of herself
And all her dreams involve being, somebody else
Verse 2
For flawless skin no blemishes, buy this
Put an end to your split ends and buy this
So you wanna change colour? just buy this
If you wanna be beautiful, quick buy these
Longer eyelashes, face painted on
Lipo-suction, all her fat gone
Fake tan, bigger boobs and more make up
Call her barbie doll now she looks how they look
Bridge
Is she beautiful now
Is she beautiful now
Is she beautiful now
Chorus
Everything she sees makes her think she's worthless
All the magazines, tell her she's not perfect
Blind to the beauty of herself
And all her dreams involve being, somebody else

First Times [Poem]
02:12
|
|||
Heres to first times, like first impressions. Even though our's weren't amazing our eyes didn't meet across the room and start gazing as time slows and violins or Celine Dion starts playing somewhere in the background, for whatever reason. No. This is real life and the reality is I could not remember your name for the first year. My first apology. Sorry. Here's to the first conversation, the first question at the first end of the first sentence. 'H' the first letter of the first word, 'I' follows. I followed, the words from your lips through your breath in the air to my right ear. Hi, how are you?. The first time I noticed you, like really noticed you. The first hug goodbye, the first stomach butterfly. The first smile that was meant just for me. The first kiss, the first 'I love you' followed by the sequel 'I love you 2'. The first, you know what. The first time I woke up and you were there, not physically but you were there and have been since. Here's to the first argument that we have yet to have and the first make up that would follow. The first text that read 'Hey, do you like poetry?'. Ironic. The first sign of trust, the first lie that will never leave my lips in your direction. Maybe that was it. The first tear, the first laugh, the first time I couldn't picture my future without you in it. The first joke, that you took the wrong way and almost never spoke to me again. The first second chance, the first glance into our lives without us being an us and having all these firsts. The first compliment. 'You are beautiful'. The first truthful compliment. 'You are beautiful'. The first thing I'd change about you, I'll have to get back to you when I can think of something. The first, 'you first I insist'. The first time I realised it was you that I missed. The first piece of bliss and this. The first poem i've ever written lets add that to the list.

Little Old Lady [Live]
03:47
|
|||
Chorus
Little old lady, please
I might not be stacking those G's
But ignore the hoodie and jeans
I'm not going to rob you
Verse 1
Why oh why must you cross the road or
Grab your purse and tighten your hold for
Whatever reasons you have in your mind
I have no intention of robbing you blind
It's a shame I know you fear loads
But I'm the good guy, a superhero
Although I'm cape-less, I get the basis
And I see the fear every time in your faces
Little old lady you don't need to worry
Don't speed up as if you're in a hurry
Because these days we're living in are your twilight years
And I don't want to be another one of your fears
So don't go out of your way to get out of my way
Like you'd rather face a car, on a busy highway
Overlook the hood its just my style
And to show I mean you no harm I'll offer a smile
And then you see, everything I've been tranna say
And I know, we can go our separate ways
Knowing that I changed a misconception
But right then everything changes directions
Chorus
Little old lady, please
I swear I'm not stacking those G's
Let go of my hoodie and jeans
Please, don't rob me
Verse 2
You've got the grip of a vulture from all the cheeks you've been pinching
Sugar rush strength from all the Werther's Originals
Walking slow to conserve your energy Yoda tactic
And now your like a ninja with those flipping back flips
So I'm battered and bruised and she stole my shoes
I'm singing the blues, while she's downing booze
Little old lady this really isn't fair
Stop kicking my shins and pulling on my hair
I did nothing to deserve this, you are absurd Miss
Did you just come straight from the circus
Your super strength is just one of your talents
Its like your slight moustache is giving you balance
And I cant win against this cyborg warrior
If she doesn't stop soon, I'll be with the coroner
But then I see, everything she's been tranna say
And she knows, we can go our separate ways
Knowing that she changed a misconception
When It comes to old ladies I think I'll need some protection
Outro
From now on, when I see
A little old lady
I'll run and hide for my very life, please save me
I'll wear some specs just for safety
'Cuz c'mon who hits a guy with glasses

Smile
03:34
|

Chorus
When I I I see your smiling face
It makes me smile too
When I I I see your smiling face
Can't help but smile back at you
Verse 1
I know it sounds super cliche, but its true
I fell asleep and woke up, thinking of you
I cant quit, I think about you more than I can really admit
Without me sounding like a stalker, the sorta
Dude that would photoshop and print out a poster
Of you both together, I beg your pardon
But the curtains in your flat look great from the garden
Jokes. That would be a right mission
Im not hiding in your bushes with my night vision
Yet. I kinda regret
All the times I'd obsess about girls and forget
That you are one, chatting to these sluts that your far from
Skets with no bras on mastered the hard-on
And nothing else, they're gorgeous but right fools
Your gorgeous and I like you
Chorus
When I I I see your smiling face
It makes me smile too
When I I I see your smiling face
Can't help but smile back at you
Bridge
And I
Know that you
Are no good
For me
But I don't care
Verse 2
This aint a love song but don't get me wrong 'cuz I like you
Thats why I wont lie, truth is what I'll write you
Right through, so you can finally hear me
'Cuz I'm acting like Raj, from 'The Big Bang Theory'
Uh Uh Uh. Glug Glug
Except I really don't drink all that much
Im not strong and silent, more quiet and cute
Its like you just put me on mute
Like
Chorus
When I I I see your smiling face
It makes me smile too
When I I I see your smiling face
Can't help but smile back at you
When I I I see your smiling face
It makes me smile too
When I I I see your smiling face
Can't help but smile back at you

Intro
Power
Power
Power
Power
Verse 1
Gimme the speed like The Flash and I'll dash in a hurry
No-one could escape me, they'd fall in a flurry
Of punches and kicks that they didn't see coming
'Cuz I'd punch, run, kick, run and just keep running
Gimme Nightcrawlers teleport
Where ever I'm headed for
Blink an eye and I'll be there, easy. No one can see me
Then I'd port to the North Pole and leave there
Aint nobody messing with me, 'cuz their eyes cant see the invisible man
You could be as fast as you can but you still cant dodge an invisible hand
Gimme flight and I'll fight in the air, fly an opponent up there
Drop 'em, just so I can hear the scared sound
Then catch 'em just before they hit the ground
Pre-Chrous
Give me the power
Power

Chorus
Give me the power
To be a hero
Let my story unfurl
Give me the power to be a hero
And Ill save the world
Verse 2
Gimme Batmans tactics and I will back flip
Make every opponents attack miss
Smoke bomb, pff, and I'm gone to the darkness
But my gadgets can still see their targets
Gimme any elemental advantage
Earth, Fire, Water, Air and I will bandage
Opponents with their faces encases
In element till all their evil's erased
Super strength, one punch is a death kill
I'll just flick so theres life in 'em left still
I will wrestle anyone to the ground
Till they've found that they cannot be unbound
Gimme one super power
Any super power
I will devour the evil
But theres evil inside all people
Power
