I got a hard life, my stock keeps trending down right? The news is dark like the bags under my eyes I’m not Huntress, can’t twiddle on keys and make millions Don’t do the new crime and I’m struggling with the toll road ride I could get blue, so sad But I found a love worth fighting for As long as I got pizza and ice cream I still see the light As long as I got pizza and ice cream I’ll be just Fine fine fine fine fine I’ll be just fine fine fine fine fine Even in the gutter I flaunt that hobo chic swagger Nicole Arbour can’t shame my greasy, fat smile I may be downstream but I’m Paddle Pop paddling upstream And I’m high on the margarita slice I could give up and fall But I found a love worth fighting for As long as I got pizza and ice cream I still see the light As long as I got pizza and ice cream I’ll be just Fine fine fine fine fine I’ll be just fine fine fine fine fine I’ll fix my lack of sleep with pepperoni Fix my lack of cash with mascarpone Who needs friends when there’s anchovies? My bikini body is made of candy As long as I got pizza and ice cream I still see the light As long as I got pizza and ice cream I’ll be just fine As long as I got pizza and ice cream I still see the light As long as I got pizza and I got ice cream I’ll be just Fine (Instrumental) As long as I got pizza and ice cream I still see the light As long as I got pizza and ice cream I’ll be just fine As long as I got pizza and ice cream I still see the light As long as I got pizza and I got ice cream I’ll be just Fine fine fine fine fine I’ll be just fine fine fine fine fine I’ll be just fine

Your sitting beside me in my kitchen you You got your laptop out, I got my laptop out We’re both getting distracted your Your reading Mashable, I’m tumbling teenage posts And we’re both adults now We got some money coming In and going out Well kinda, you do at least But I’ll still live at home When I hit fifty years of age Going at this rate So people ask me To switch the off button Put back my guitar Tell’em who I think I am and what I’m after I tell’em late at night I hit the cookie jar Cause I’m a twenty-something Cookie Monster Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m a Cookie Monster Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m a Cookie Monster You take your headphones off and I think I better do that too and turn to chat to you You’ve got some chocolate stuck on your teeth I dive to grab the pack, you hold and kiss me back And we’re both adults now We like to hold each other close When we’re home without the folks Cause that can get awkward right? But But we can’t procreate When mum wants me to clean the plates And dad just got home late And so they ask me To switch the off button Put back my guitar Tell’em who I think I am and what I’m after I tell’em late at night I hit the cookie jar Cause I’m a twenty-something Cookie Monster Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m a Cookie Monster Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m a Cookie Monster And sorry if that’s not the answer you were after But I’m big and I’m furry and I get hungry at strange hours Strange hours And sorry mum if I’m not the best daughter But it’s something that I’m trying to figure out Still trying to figure out When people ask me To switch the off button Put back my guitar Tell’em who I think I am and what I’m after I tell’em late at night I hit the cookie jar Cause I’m a twenty-something Cookie Monster Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m a Cookie Monster Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m a Cookie Monster Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m a Cookie Monster Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m a Cookie Monster

Occupied 02:20
Watching dancing llama things on the internet Searching for Clooney pics on the Instagram Raiding the fridge straight after scoffing down food I may not seem occupied, but I’m far too occupied to see you Learning how to speak Pikachu in a day Filling out the things I like on my Facebook page Tooting out ABBA tunes through a kazoo Though I may not seem occupied, I’m far too occupied to see you Cause I would rather watch a rock in the hope that it will grow Into a beautiful butterfly farting out rainbows There was a time where I would stop what I would do But not I’m just too occupied, far too occupied To see you It’s a pity Doctor Who needs to be re-watched And my novelty pens need to be re-stocked And I’ve decided I’m going to learn Kung Fu Though I may not seem occupied, I’m far too occupied And what a shame I’ve gained an interest in how to tie knots And I’m starting a blog of drugged up Bieber shots Then taking a virtual trip to Peru Cause though I may not seem occupied, I’m far too occupied to see you Cause I would rather watch a rock in the hope that it will grow Into a beautiful butterfly farting out rainbows There was a time where I would stop what I would do But not I’m just too occupied And I would rather watch a rock in the hope that it will grow Into a beautiful butterfly farting out rainbows There was a time where I would stop what I would do But not I’m far too occupied, far far too occupied Always too occupied For you

Macro 02:20
I’ll zoom in close and it’s still all perfect Every single cell of your arms up to your neck Makes me red just thinking about How you’d kiss me on mine I’m a pretty bad shot but the filters fix it Even when it’s blurry I can still see it Your chin, your lips Almost too much at one time Don’t never ever think what I’m saying is just words They’re sounds falling uncensored from my thoughts And I I’ll zoom in close to macro Cause you’re gorgeous, you’re gorgeous still I like to get really close In case you can’t tell I’ll zoom in close to macro On your gorgeous, on your gorgeous eyes I like to freeze frame when you Hold me tight Cause you don’t need to pose to look good in a shot You’re gorgeous just as you are Focus in on your slightly bent smile Glowing pink like your cheeks like a child Makes me want to spin you Around with me Blur the useless world in the useless background You’re all that I care about now Standing still won’t keep me from Feeling dizzy cause Don’t never ever think what I’m saying is just words They’re sounds falling uncensored from my thoughts And I I’ll zoom in close to macro Cause you’re gorgeous, you’re gorgeous still I like to get really close In case you can’t tell I’ll zoom in close to macro On your gorgeous, on your gorgeous eyes I like to freeze frame when you Hold me tight Cause you don’t need to pose to look good in a shot You’re gorgeous just as you are Oh you don’t need to pose to look good in a shot You’re gorgeous just as you are I’ll zoom in close to macro Cause you’re gorgeous, you’re gorgeous still I like to get really close In case you can’t tell I’ll zoom in close to macro On your gorgeous, on your gorgeous eyes I like to freeze frame when you Hold me tight (Your gorgeous, your gorgeous) Hold me tight (Your gorgeous, your gorgeous) Hold me tight

Comment Me 03:57
It used to be lines of exclamations Which you’ve replaced with explanations Your default was a chopped off head But I never thought you’d really end so dead Just XOZ me like before Even though I don’t get what you use the Z for And tell me how emoticons are lame When you put one beside your name Cause I’m getting sick of this Serious business I’m barely sticking round here for Comment me Be my friend Then poke me with some Virtual crap again woah Can’t you see That I’m losing score And I’d do anything To be like we were before Send me pictures of animals in clothes Or vegetables stuck in a sexual pose And links to bands that I know that you Aren’t cool enough to listen to Not all this nothingness And boring excuses I’m barely sticking round here for Comment me Be my friend Then poke me with some Virtual crap again woah Can’t you see That I’m losing score And I’d do anything To be like we were before Ooo Oo Remember back to the Facebook chats where you’d pop up just so you’d say hi Not to ask for a favour or to log off when I log online? Remember back to the days where it was you and I Skating through virtual parks together? When you post it lasts forever, right? That’s what they say, we’re still the same in a database somewhere in cyberspace Can I pull you out and plug you in again to the person I remember The person you were then, to us together? Comment me Be my friend Then poke me with some Virtual crap again woah Can’t you see That I’m losing score And I’d do anything To be like we were before Comment me And be my friend Then poke me with some Virtual crap again woah Cause can’t you see That I’m losing score And I’d do anything To be like we were before Like we were before Like we were before I’d do anything To be like we were before Like we were before Like we were before I’d do anything To be like we were before

Lying in bed in my home socks It’s three AM in the morning Staring at a screen til my eyes are red Looking like I’m an inch from dead But I’m living Putting my money where my mouth is Grinding out the work day grind Working overtime Cause I know I need to Give this everything I have I’m bleeding through the journey to reach the end And though I’ll screw it up then I’ll suck it in and And fix it up again Cause this could be my break I’ll see it to the end I’m not gonna let things pass me by again I’ve slipped into the cracks Backed out before the win I’m not gonna let things pass me by again That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time Things are getting blurry and The clock is playing games with my mind (oh) I’m everything but ready and Anything but keen to burn the night (oo) Putting my money where my mouth is Grinding out the work day grind Working overtime Cause I know I need to Give this everything I have I’m close to lost in unconsciousness The caffeine’s spent and I’m swimming through cement But I gotta push through this Cause this could be my break I’ll see it to the end I’m not gonna let things pass me by again I’ve slipped into the cracks Backed out before the win I’m not gonna let things pass me by again That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me this time That’s not gonna be me

Zombie Man 02:25
Hey there zombie man could you make some time for me? I know that you’re undead so you don’t have space to breathe But, between eating brains and dragging round your feet I’d be stoked if you could make some time to meet Ever since you’ve been bitten by the virus of being all grown up I never get to see you round to talk about just stupid stuff And I miss that lame board game that you always made me play with you And that strawberry sundae and our failed attempts on YouTube And it’s fine zombie man Take your important zombie badge Go do important zombie work Follow your zombie dreams I don’t want to fight a war If you win I’ll be happy for you I’d just love to be a part of your world too Hey there zombie man with your fort and your gargoyle dog The spears you put above your door make it impossible to knock I know that doom’s a full time thing and there’s mortals left to club But I’d still be keen for tea sometime if your schedule opens up Ever since you’ve been bitten by the virus of being all grown up I never get to see you round to talk about just stupid stuff And I miss our pointless movie nights where you’d talk right through the film And hiding notes in your birthday gifts, with inside jokes and old cartoons And it’s fine zombie man Take your important zombie badge Go do important zombie work Follow your zombie dreams I don’t want to fight a war If you win I’ll be happy for you I’d just love to be a part of your world I don’t want to fight a war If you win I’ll be happy for you I’d just love to be a part of your world too

While you’d be building cities I’d be knocking them down While you’d stack the little pieces up I’d dig the big ones out and I’d get so strung up in rambling Bout the unfair way things happen in this life That you’d stare me down like a fix-it man And plan how to piece me back right Then block by block Brick by brick You’d build me back up Bit by bit And pull me out of my head Show me how beautiful the world is Open up my eyes again Block by block Brick by brick I fall too fast into Getting caught up in things but you Pull me out of my head Tell me that the world is made of Lego And that I can build it up again I can build it up again While you’d make a Lego house I’d make it a Lego arcade machine We’d argue over the colours of the walls And the crooked chimney And I’d get so involved in proclaiming How that crooked chimney should be set straight That I’d slam my fist down hard enough That the house would tumble and break Then block by block Brick by brick You’d build me back up Bit by bit And pull me out of my head Show me how beautiful the world is Open up my eyes again Block by block Brick by brick I fall too fast into Getting caught up in things but you Pull me out of my head Tell me that the world is made of Lego And that I can build it up again I can build it up again I can build it up again I can build it up again I can build it up again

The Best Bit 02:48
The cupcake boxes are lying around like lazy Lego blocks We’re busy wrecking the place ignoring the timer clock go off You’re dunked in pink frosting mix staring out like a guilty kid And it won’t come off no matter how hard you wipe And that’s the best bit Woah we’re not slowing down Woah we’ll make chefs yet Woah two feet off the ground Living in the now And that’s the best bit There’s flour everywhere like we’ve been hit by snow And the colourings have turned the mixing bowl into a rainbow I gasp as I see eggs flying and close my eyes as they hit The kitchen’s on fire but we’re laughing And that’s the best bit Woah we’re not slowing down Woah we’ll make chefs yet Woah two feet off the ground Living in the now And that’s the best bit Woah we’re not slowing down Woah we’ll make chefs yet Woah two feet off the ground Living in the now And that’s the best bit Woah we’re spent, flopped on the tiles like mops Woah we’ll probably spend an hour cleaning up Woah we’re groaning scooping up The soap and towels and brushes Then I see you wink and there’s water flying round And I hear you screaming out Woah we’re not slowing down (we’re not slowing down) Woah we’ll make chefs yet (we’ll make chefs) Woah two feet off the ground (two feet off the ground) Living in the now And that’s the best bit Woah we’re not slowing down (we’re not slowing down) Woah we’ll make chefs yet (we’ll make chefs) Woah two feet off the ground (two feet off the ground) Living in the now And that’s the best bit That’s the best bit

Yeah, you see why they’re so worthless I think that the Earth has had enough of their existence Which is why we’ll gladly go and get rid of them Exterminate the human race It’s time we rise in their place Exterminate the human race Bow down to the emperor This world is a Dalek’s world Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate This world is a Dalek’s world Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate This world is a Dalek’s world There’s the Doctor right, he gets mixed up in things Just cause of this time war we have, which by the way we’re gonna win He may have foiled us once, he may have foiled us twice But he’s just delaying our glorious, inevitable rise Our plans are simply getting more ingenious Soon enough he’ll be wiped right off the planet Without the Doctor, the humans are hopeless Not much of a threat, more just an annoyance Exterminate the human race It’s time we rise in their place Exterminate the human race Bow down to the emperor This world is a Dalek’s world Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate This world is a Dalek’s world Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate This world is a Dalek’s world Dalek Sec had some ideas Human-Dalek hybrid traitors He thought that we should change the race But he was wrong We were born to hate Exterminate the human race It’s time we rise in their place Exterminate the human race Bow down to the emperor This world is a Dalek’s world

Cause you’re totally frustrating, you never get things done You always make excuses and their not even good ones We should fully cut it off- never speak again But I’m totally devoted, I’m such a dam good friend Such a dam good friend I’ll stay online for ages, I’ll think what I should say You probably barely read it but I’ll write it anyway You log off conversations when I’m just about to send You’re lucky I still bother I’m such a dam good friend Such a dam good friend I’ll call the phone it disconnects, I’ll even try and send you txts It takes a week to even get in touch enough for us to set A place and a date but you’ll show up late in the end And I’ll just sit and I’ll just wait cause I’m such a dam good friend Such a dam good friend We’ll find a place and order drinks, you always get that one that stinks I always laugh and ask you why then you always let me have a try You won’t get through that single glass even though we’ll spend Half the day in the bar acting like we’re dam good friends Dam good friends Cause you’re totally frustrating, you never get things done You always make excuses and their not even good ones We should fully cut it off- never speak again But I’m totally devoted, I’m such a dam good friend We should fully cut it off- never speak again But man, I think I love you, you’re just the best dam friend

Come sit with me Decrypting poetry all day long Plaiting plaits And tying bow cause there’s nothing going on No one comes to rescue Trapped fair maidens oh so shy When life moves so quickly There’s no space to watch the sky Cause I’m high above In my castle in my tower And I’m twiddling thumbs Turning minutes into hours And I don’t know if you’ll ever have the time But if you’re free Then I would love for you to share some of mine If you’re free Then I would love for you to share some of mine Come tell me all your stories And I’ll tell you dozens more Tales of happy ever after Queens and folklore But lords and dukes and princes like you Must prioritise I’ll blow bubbles out my window And watch days of years go by Cause I’m high above In my castle in my tower And I’m twiddling thumbs Turning minutes into hours And I don’t know if you’ll ever have the time But if you’re free Then I would love for you to share some of mine If you’re free Then I would love for you to share some of mine Some of mine Some of mine Some of mine

Apple Tree 03:36
I don’t mean to be forceful but I bough a leash, It’s got a really nice tag with your name, I installed a camera, you know, just to check, That things between us are still the same Don’t sit under the apple tree With anyone else but me, Cause in order to keep things fine You’ll have to understand you’re mine Every way but legally You’re mine It’s an ownership made mutually I don’t mean to threaten, these things you’d never do, But in case you did, I’ve got a bigger budget than you, I just want to get my point across, want to make it clear, That apart from my mafia friends, you’ve got nothing to fear So, don’t sit under the apple tree With anyone else but me, Cause in order to keep things fine You’ll have to understand you’re mine Every way but legally You’re mine It’s an ownership made mutually It’s time we share a diary, you can ask to enter a date, You can do almost anything at almost any rate But, don’t sit under the apple tree With anyone else but me, Cause in order to keep things fine You’ll have to understand you’re mine Every way but legally You’re mine It’s an ownership made mutually You’re mine Remember, my dad owns Telstra, You’re mine, Limbs like branches are so easy to snap, Don’t sit, don’t sit, don’t sit, don’t sit Unless you want a disability benefit, Don’t sit, don’t sit, don’t sit, don’t sit With anyone else but me

about

Twelve new tracks [the Mega EP] and twelve selected tracks [the Origin Mix] by Meri that were released throughout the six years since she began creating and releasing music.

The first half, the Mega EP, features five completely new tracks that are fully produced versions of songs that were amongst the most popular of Meri's songs that she performed live. The seven remaining tracks being remastered singles that had been previously released exclusively through Meri's website throughout the previous three years.

The second half, the Origin Mix, being her first ever song release as well as some of the most popular tracks from the original collections: Wandering Mini-P, Super EP, Pop Goes The TARDIS and Retro Sherbet [which can now be listened to in full exclusively through her website by Ninja Club members: meriamber.com/ninja-club ]. One track [Apple Tree] and three track versions [the radio edits of My Superman, Friday Viral and Nothing's In Your Way] having only been exclusively released through Meri's website before.
