A Spoon Songbook (part 1)

Song 1 (Single and Album Cover)
We'll Blow Your Ears Out

Written by Joel Bennett and Jackson Aepatt
Composed by Jackson Aepatt

Verse 1

Breaking out
Falling down
Turn around
We'll blow your ears out
Hear that sound
Breaking out
Turn around
We'll blow your ears out

Chorus

'Cause I've been
Falling for the same tricks
Picking up the wrong chicks
Every time I turn around
I'm broken down again

Verse 2

Got kicked out
Of my own house
I'm breaking down
They tell me that I'm falling down
I said no
I turned around
I'm breaking down
They tell me that I'm all wrong

(Chorus)
'Cause I've been
Falling for the same tricks
Picking up the wrong chicks
Every time I turn around
I'm broken down again

Verse 3

And now may be the only time
I'm given to admit my lies
So now I'll tell you everything
As long as you promise to listen

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

(Chorus)
'Cause I've been
Falling for the same tricks
Picking up the wrong chicks
Every time I turn around
I'm broken down again
I'm broken down again

Verse 4/1 repeated
Breaking out
Falling down
Turn around
We'll blow your ears out
Hear that sound
Breaking out
Turn around
We'll blow you ears out

Song 2 (Single)
I Have To

Written and composed by Jackson Aepatt

Verse 1

I spend too much time
Thinking about the past
I should move on with my life
I'm stuck in a life that won't last

Chorus

But it's so hard to move on
From the life that we lived to hold on to
And it's so hard to admit I'm wrong
About the things that I've always wanted
Always dreamed of

Verse 2

It's not that I haven't yet realized
That the path I've been taking
Is all wrong
It's just that it's so hard to move on
When I have worked so hard
To find this place where I feel I belong

(Chorus)
But it's so hard to move on
From the life that we lived to hold on to
And it's so hard to admit I'm wrong
About the things that I've always wanted
Always dreamed of

Verse 3

And I know what they're saying about me
And I know that what they say is only truth
And I realize that I'm digging my own grave
And I realize that I no longer belong
Here
Or anywhere near here

(Chorus)
But it's so hard to move on
From the life that we lived to hold on to
And it's so hard to admit (that) I'm wrong
About the things that I've always wanted
Always dreamed of

Verse 4

I can remember times when I would fantasize
About the life I'm living now,
The one that's flashing before my eyes
I can recall days when I would linger
On how the success felt-
But now it's slipping through my fingers

(Chorus)
And I know it's time to move on
From the life that I lived to hold on to
And though it's hard to admit I'm wrong
About the things that I've always wanted
Always dreamed of
I will now
'Cause I have to

Song 3 (We'll Blow You Ears Out album)

Wondering (The Flight to Fame)

Written and composed by Joel Bennett and Jackson Aepatt

Verse 1

I was sitting on my own
Laying all alone
When I started
To wonder
I was minding myself
Sitting on a shelf
When I started
To wonder

(Pre-chorus)

I wondered
What it feels like
I wondered
How great greatness felt
I wondered
How much of a risk I would take
To get myself there

Chorus

And it wasn't very hard
To discard all the things that I knew better than to try
And it wasn't difficult
To forget myself
And try everything
To get me on the wing
And fly to fame
The flight to fame

Too much wondering
And too much time to try
Everything
That I was wondering about

Verse 2

I was sitting on a stage
Staring at a page
That was covered
With my face
I was sitting all alone
Always, all alone
No matter
How many people are in the room
And it's too late to turn back now
And it's too late
To change my mind

(Chorus)
And it wasn't very hard
To discard
All the things that I knew better than to try
And it wasn't difficult
To forget myself
And try everything
To get me on the wing
And fly to fame
The flight to fame

Too much wondering
And too much time to try
Everything
That I was wondering about

Verse 3

Are you wondering about
How the flight to fame feels
Are you wondering
If it is surreal?
Let me tell you something
Let me give you some advice
Close
Your
Eyes
And stop
Wondering
Stop wondering

(In a male voice over an intercom) The 4:00 flight to Fame has been cancelled. I repeat, the 4:00 flight to Fame has been cancelled. We're sorry about any inconvenience.


Song 4 (We'll Blow Your Ears Out album)

Hello, Pain

Written by Kevin James and Joel Bennett
Composed by Joel Bennett and Jackson Aepatt

Verse 1

I don't really wanna be here
But I don't wanna go anywhere else
It's just that when she's near
I can't think about
Anyone else

(Pre-chorus)
A day with the girl who broke my heart
A day with the one who made it start

Chorus

It's stabbing, stabbing,
Aching, aching
Breaking, breaking me
I'm hurting, hurting
She's flirting, flirting
Breaking, breaking me
And I see it in her eyes
I can see right through her disguise
She's doing it on purpose

Verse 2

How many days
How many nights
Did I waste
Did I throw away on her?
I know
It's part of life
But I can't stand how much I
Miss her

(Chorus)
It's stabbing, stabbing,
Aching, aching
Breaking, breaking me
I'm hurting, hurting
She's flirting, flirting
Breaking, breaking me
And I see it in her eyes
I can see right through her disguise

Verse 3

You never know
(you never know)
'Til it's too late
('Til it's too late)
You never see
(You never see)
That it's a mistake
You'd never guess
(You'd never guess)
That hidden under that dress
(Hidden under that dress)
Was a monster, waiting to tear you apart

(Chorus)
It's stabbing, stabbing,
Aching, aching
Breaking, breaking me
I'm hurting, hurting
She's flirting, flirting
Breaking, breaking me
And I see it in her eyes
I can see right through her disguise
She's doing it on purpose
She's doing it on purpose
She'd doing it on purpose

Yea, yea, yea

I don't really wanna be here
But I don't wanna go anywhere else



The music for these songs has been written and will hopefully be posted here eventually :)
