Marathon Mike likes to go running He’s looking for meaning In a meaningless life He goes into the shops in real tight outfits To prove he went running Because he needs you to see it He keeps his helmet on! Even in the shop! He wears those funny looking cycling shoes He gets up super early every morning You might find him boring Maybe it’s just me People are impressed by cars and money And by those who go running Every night and day He keeps his helmet on! Even in the shop! He wears those funny looking cycling shoes Marathon Mike likes to go running He’s looking for meaning But he won’t find it at the gym People are impressed by cars and money And those who go running Every night and day Marathon Mike !!!

The world is changing for the worse It was bad already before VR head sets to watch porn Self obsession is the norm Content creation personal branding Motivational posts are so outstanding Ozempic is taking over the world Ozempic is taking over the world Empowering others on your socials Inspiring stories for cheap emotions Have a side hustle, work while they sleep Cult of personality and a perfect physique Content creation personal branding Motivational posts are so outstanding Ozempic is taking over the world Ozempic is taking over the world Content creation personal branding Motivational posts are so outstanding Ozempic is taking over the world Ozempic is taking over the world

He's a Coach 03:07
He’s a fan of Jordan Peterson He’s also into Joe rogan He even started his own podcast But also wants to help you one to one He’s been there he’s been down and out Now he’s got what it takes He knows what it’s like to not succeed So you can learn from his mistakes! He’s a coach He wants you to live your best life He’s a coach He failed just like you once He’s a coach He believes you can manifest your dreams He’s a coach And he believes in you He failed once too And wiped the dust right off He got up And now he’s a coach He’s a coach oh yeah He’s certified from a 2 weekend retreat So he understands your needs He creates safe spaces for everyone Facilitates vulnerability In his mind he’s saving the world But he’d love to make some money too He believes that those who do what they love never work a day in their lives He’s a coach He wants you to live your best life He’s a coach He failed just like you once He’s a coach He knows what it’s like to not succeed He’s a coach Life was also once real hard for him If you do as he says one day you can be a coach like him too!! In his mind he’s saving the world But he just can’t see He’s a coach And coaches need some loving too

Well I can hear the sound of your voice It’s all so clear, everything’s changed There you are, here I am Wish I was with you Take me away Wash me away Make me smile It’s not the same without you So take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away It’s been so long Take me away

Your ego is not your amigo These words going through your mind Are not even yours, are not even mine Let us find out who we are And stop worrying about cars About money, what to do for jobs Your ego is not your amigo Your ego is not your amigo

Joe Meek, Oh Joe Meek You wrote some great songs On the street that I lived in Holloway Road so long ago Back in the day When making music was gold Joe meek Oh Joe meek (Instrumental) Joe Meek, Oh Joe Meek You were the Telstar man Heard the music in your head Joe Meek, Oh Joe Meek You wrote some great songs On the street that I lived in We’re only here and it’s kind of absurd I love your album “I hear a new world” Joe meek Oh Joe meek

Day after day They send my friends away To mansions cold and grey To the far side of town Where the thin men stalk the streets While the sane stay underground Day after day They tell me I can go They tell me I can blow To the far side of town Where it's pointless to be high 'Cause it's such a long way down So I tell them that I can fly, I will scream, I will break my arm I will do me harm Here I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall I'm not quite right at all, am I? Don't set me free, I'm as heavy as can be Just my librium and me And my E.S.T. makes three 'Cause I'd rather stay here With all the madmen Than perish with the sad men roaming free And I'd rather play here With all the madmen For I'm quite content they're all as sane As me Day after day They take some brain away Then turn my face around To the far side of town And tell me that it's real Then ask me how I feel Here I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall I'm not quite right at all Don't set me free, I'm as helpless as can be My libido's split on me Gimme some good 'ole lobotomy
