One Less by Jay String
Two less one, one less one
Less than zero, one less, one less
When I found out you had left me, me so angry, wanted vengeance
Then I thought that maybe baby, one become two was the right thing to do
Were we ever truly happy? One thing’s for sure – I’m not any more
You walking round with your new rebound spells goodbye in any language
CHORUS: One less, one less reason
To get up, in the morning
One more, one more reason
To give up, as if I need one …
One less bruiser, one less loser in your life but I’m alone now
One less reason keeps me focused, one more heart-nail in my coffin
Ones and zeroes, haves and have nots, you so happy, what have I got?
One last lesson, bash your brains out, sleep with your head by my pillow
CHORUS
(Two less one) is what I’ve done (One less one) what I’ve become
(Less than zero), kill your heroes (One less, one less) - I could not care less
CHORUS
Fresh air is waiting, chair is waiting
One Less
One Less
HEFTY
I'm not what I seem, I'm much less
Just a part that I play, I confess
What have I become, who am I to be
There's too many sides to me
[Pre Chorus]
Everyone and everyday (They don't know me)
I'm getting tired of the game
[Chorus]
One less charade, I've turned away
Too much to me, than I want to be
How could I keep this up for oh so long
One less complication
One less
I'm trying to be, something else
Put this fake mask away, with all the rest
I will overcome, the lies I breed
Until there is only me
Pre Chorus
Chorus
In time you'll see, like all the rest
The man I'm hiding inside myself
I'll finally be me
Chorus 2x
HEFTY is

One Less by Bjam
I'm in the city that never sleeps
And all I can hear are the downtown beats
The stale air conditioning
I stay for my own decommisioning
'Cause this is one less stop till I see you
I'm tired and cold but I miss you
I'm lonely but I cannot see you
Surrounded by thousands
Only sated by you
I can't sleep in the city that doesn't
It's only one less day till I get you
Lying there while my family snores
But I stay there trying to ignore
Then I can't take anymore
I've just gotta leave
So I climb down beside my bed
And by the hum of the AC
The lights of my PC
I write you a terrible song
My hands grey from charcoal
Soon will be tomorrow
Then I can sleep soundly again
I'm tired and cold but I miss you
I'm lonely but I cannot see you
Surrounded by thousands
Only sated by you
I can't sleep in the city that doesn't
It's only one less day till I get you
You'll never hear this
Or ever read this
But it helped me to sleep
In the city that doesn't
'Cause this city's one less mile
Till I see you
I'm in the city that never sleeps
And all I can hear are the downtown beats
The stale air conditioning
I stay for my own decommisioning
'Cause this is one less stop till I see you
I'm tired and cold but I miss you
I'm lonely but I cannot see you
Surrounded by thousands
Only sated by you
I can't sleep in the city that doesn't
It's only one less day till I get you
Lying there while my family snores
But I stay there trying to ignore
Then I can't take anymore
I've just gotta leave
So I climb down beside my bed
And by the hum of the AC
The lights of my PC
I write you a terrible song
My hands grey from charcoal
Soon will be tomorrow
Then I can sleep soundly again
I'm tired and cold but I miss you
I'm lonely but I cannot see you
Surrounded by thousands
Only sated by you
I can't sleep in the city that doesn't
It's only one less day till I get you

Or ever read this
But it helped me to sleep

Till I see you

White light keeps on shining
White light in the depths of hell
You think it's strange
You think it's odd
But it's one less soul for the ferryman
If he thinks that you are God
And is it right to disagree?
Let them think what they want to
It's all the same to me

Listenin' to Freakshow
At a disco in downtown Frisco
Guitarist's shreddin' a solo
The singer's strikin' a real punk rock pose
I wonder if this band's more popular than mine
If they break-up after the show, that'd be just fine
cuz that's
One Less band in the disco
One Less cheap limosine
One Less coke-snorting poser
To compete with my superstar dream
During their second encore
The singer asks if the crowd wants more
They shout out for a stage dive
But no one catches him when he arrives
The laughter turns to screams when he doesn't move
But my smile gets wide, I totally approve
now there's
One Less band in the disco
One Less cheap limosine
One Less coke-snorting poser
To compete with my superstar dream
One Less mulleted front man
One Less douche in the bar
One Less arrogant rock band
To stop me from becoming a star
