HOME FROM HOME
MAN OR MOUSE
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hate myself when going
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Hear me I sound like a Beatle
I get cold feet when the pressure is on
You can't see me coz I'm lost like a needle
In a haystack yeah I'm almost gone
Like a mouse follows the flute
Or like a mute who can't dispute I fall in line with you
Mouse more than man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan
Mouse more than man, yes I am
Coz yet I go with the flow
See me as a chameleon, a cheap shot
I change my cast for anybody's best
But I'm not free I feel more like a robot
That is programmed to please the rest
So whatever you want I'll do
Whenever you want me to I will agree with you
Mouse more than man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan
Mouse more than man, yes I am
Coz yet I go with the flow
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hate myself when going
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
No more sound like a Beatle
Those cold feet are for yesterday
No more getting the needle
I cannot care about what others say
Mouse more than man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan
Mouse more than man, yes I am
Coz yet I go with the flow before the shit hits the fan
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
This is my last time going
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
FINGERS CROSSED
I always knew you were a keeper
Maybe not exactly from day one
Guess I never wanted it to be overdone
And even though you are a sleeper
Well, to me that's never been a crime
And after all you woke up in time
So now you're back on your feet again
Now you're back to compete with men
Now you're back and it took some time
To get from misery to prime
Now you're back onto change the world
Now you're back and I say: Go girl!
Now you're back and you'll do just fine
'Coz after rainy days the sun will shine
I know I've been part of the reasons
Why you sometimes felt so sore
And I'm sorry I didn't give you more
But now you're heading better seasons
And your mom she's watching you
From above with fingers crossed for everything you do
So now you're back on your feet again
Now you're back to compete with men
Now you're back and it took some time
To get from misery to prime
Now you're back onto change the world
Now you're back and I say; Go girl!
Now you're back and you'll do just fine
So don't resign
'Coz after rainy days the sun will shine
It doesn't matter what others say
Even those you call friends
Don't leave it out for another day
This might be your big chance
You're the one always beside me
When I'm lost you're always to guide me
It's about time I give you something back
I'm the one selfish and greedy
Never care enough of what you needed
But even still you had the strength to get back in the end
BLACK EYE
So now I got a black eye
Even though I never got smacked
But if I get a retry
Then I will try to give back
You were the one who got jacked
And I hope you will forgive me
for whenever I capsize
I know that you can see it in my eyes
I'm not myself right now
My biggest problem is to compromise
But I'm sure I would know how
I show my tragedy with my black eye
I've been the one to deny
Everything that you do
I said it's all a big lie
Always questioning you
Even though you've been true
And I know that I've been nothing more
than just a jealous guy
But everybody's talking about you
All the time about things you do
And that's the only time I do realize
That I do love being close to you
And everybody's laughing with you
Guess that's the thing that I just can't stand
I'm selfish more than I am a man
MONTEGO
I know I get what I give
Since I don't feel too good guess I don't give much
Maybe I just wanna live
I knock on wood every time I feel human touch
What can I do to fit in?
Kiss up to someone? It will never happen
When alienation hits in on me
My empathy is gone, my conscious blackens
And I just spit in your face
When you ask for help
My heart is made of stone
Nobody's best friend, I'm on my defence
Everyone stands alone
Another elbow hit, somebody's ego trip
Everyone stands alone
I know I get what I give
Funny vibes, what goes around comes around
But yeah, I just wanna live
With someone by my side some kind of close bond
Another spit in your face
Every time you need me
I am busy with my own
When it all comes down to it we all stand alone
So many times it's been shown
Hearts that are made of stone
PUNK ROCK REBEL
Hardcore skater used to be
One of few who inspired me
To get into the punkrock scene
The year I turned seventeen
Our first song ever Danny wrote
For teenage angst he was the antidote
An uncut diamond full of strife
His first demo changed my life
He's a rebel it's plain to see
Punk rock rebel so full of strife
He's a rebel and he'll always be
someone who changed my life
It takes a lot for a man to stay unbowed
He's the one and only "Svag and proud"
Partners we have been in crime
And in music from time to time
Although most known for his drinking skills
It's not the side of him that gives me thrills
It's the gifted poet I see in Dan
To me he'll always be "the man"
KEMP
I gotta learn how to lose and to choose my own wars
I gotta understand it's not me against the world no more
When you are sure as hell then I don't know
You are so pure and well when I am low
When you say ”Sure as hell!” then I say no
A spoke in your wheel, yeah like a bugging fly
A thorn in your side just like a constant red eye
On being an ass I've really been a pro
So can I say no?!
I know I've tread on your toes and it shows who I am
And all these situations and relations from the start
they were damned
I feel a need to stop when you say go
I am indeed a flop if you say so
I feel a need to stop so I say no
A spoke in your wheel, yeah like a bugging fly
A thorn in your side just like a constant redeye
On being an ass I've really been a pro
What can I say?
BOTANIC MISTRESS
I felt like Travis Bickle, tyrannical, lonely and blue
I don't know why I went to Botanical but there I met you
You made me go from blue to green just in time
before I got a mohawk
When we're together I'd say we look like brooklime
And you can't talk or walk but I love your leafstalk
All I wanna do
Is live my life with you
Tall you've gotta grow
I'll give you H20
All I want to do
Is live a simple life here with you
Your way! I'll send no billet-doux!
If you rather want me to I'll buy a green house for you
You'll always be on the sunny side of my heart
I hope you don't dry out at times when we're apart
Hope you don't leave me in the cart!
As I said
I really hope that you don't leave me in the cart
Coz if you do dry out then that will truly break my heart
And I'll feel like Bickle once more
And maybe I will lose it,
go insane and start a gun war?!
HAPPINESS FOR DOGS
I think I've been wrong in this family affair
It's been too long that we got used
to everything unfair
I'm out there trying to put on the charms
But inside I'm crying
when I remember how you cut your arms
Here comes happiness for dogs like us
And I just hope it's gonna last
The drugs they give you
are something I don’t trust
At least when side effects come fast
Just like in the past
Everyone is not stable,
we all got our ups and downs
They gave you a label
and pills to make you drowse
I do not trust them coz I've seen you fall
What's to discuss
when you almost lost the will to live at all
Here comes happiness for dogs like us
And I just hope it's gonna last
The drugs they give you
are something I don't trust
At least when side effects come fast
Just like in the past
when side effects came fast
Happiness it never lasts
Almost twenty years of fighting
for your health not too exiting
And I know there's so much more that I could do
But you just never give up,
hope that one day you will live up
And regain what belongs to nobody else but you
BATTERY CHECK
Walking around the streets of Linné
Reloading batteries in my own way
Nobody around here would know who I am,
that's o.k
I really wanna do something new
Just anything different to get into
It's all up to me to give it a try
That it's all up to me is making me terrified
It looks like I'll be waiting for moments
that will never arrive
When will I live my life for me?
When will I do what I want to?
When will I let myself be free
and take care of things that I value?
So when will I live my life just for me?
Hitting P.B. driving E20 north
Future plans being made
going back and forth
Remain passive
I do got dreams on my mind
And I really should be taking a chance
Risk my safety just for once advance
The one who is trying
is the one who succeeds
I should be following
my heart and my needs
But I know it's a problem for me
to translate words into deeds
Please say you feel the same way
Just say you know exactly how I feel
So say you feel the same way
And I will do it for real
When will I live my life for me?
When will I do what I want to?
When will I let myself be free
And take care of things that I value?
It's true, I need to forgive myself and see
It's not too late for something new
So when will I live my life just for me?
Yeah when will I live my life just for me?
Yeah maybe I'll live my life just for me?
FUEL TO THE FLAME
When I met you I said
we would hang out everyday
Now I upset you
from a payphone on Queens West and Bay
She's saying
The words I'm saying have lost their meaning
When I'm so far from my aim
But trying to tell me I'm only dreaming
Is like adding fuel to the flame
When I told you I'd buy a brand new car, first rate
That was a lie to you when I got a Civic from '88
Even though I upset you
I think we make a really good team
I think it's coz I love you
that I've been living in a dream
And it's you who are that dream
and you've already come true
AFGHAN
Just like the children's sandpit
Just like the wild wild west
At random choose a target
It's not enough to be second best
So now you wanna fight them
The weaker one is always wrong
Yeah now you wanna fight them
A real man's gotta show the world he's strong
Stuck up, abuse of powers
It's a part of a leader's role
”We only take what's ours”
A slick line to stay in control
Hate breeds more hate it's easy to understand
To retaliate and to be a true macho man
goes hand in hand
So show the world you're strong
The weaker one is wrong
And I know it won't take long
Until they're dead and gone
GREENER GRASS
I'm not harmonic
I can't reach self-esteem
That's quite ironic
coz I thought I'd be living my dream
I don't feel supersonic
I don't drive in the lane of whipped cream
I'm more like a chronic
ignorantly swimming upstream
What can I do to be happy?
I have problems to decide
When it looks to me the grass is greener
On the other side
How do I live for the moment
when I always wanna be else where?
How do I reach a fulfilment
when I'm crashed and got parts to repair?
Why is my only amusement
giving other people my despair?
Why do I give jealous judgement
on another's affair?
I wanna get satisfaction just like
the Stones and Manu Chao
Gotta ignore all rejection
I gotta keep trying anyhow
I wanna be close to the action
I wanna live my life now
For this correction I need direction
gotta find it within myself somehow
So maybe one day I'll be happy?!
But until then I have to realize
That the grass is not always greener
It's only up to me to recognize
That the grass is not always greener
It's in your head it might look greener
Coz the grass will never be greener
On the other side
HOME FROM HOME
For six weeks I had this job
cleaning the local hospital
The pay was o.k. but I didn't like to swab
so I changed it for a bass guitar
Boredom was my companion
stuck to me like glue
But I broke the bond
to make some dreams come true
Like a street to a hustler, a face to the soul
It's the one and the only place we control
It's our reality, not just a poem
It's the place that we call home
For some time I went to school
tried to learn what's right and wrong
I didn't like their schemes
I couldn’t buy their rules
so I went back to where I belong
You gotta love the sound
of that guitar and the bass
The snare it sounds like gunfire
it's like a thousand decibel punch in the face
East or west? well, home is the best!
Though I sometimes feel like a clown
But I've also had the feeling, Yes!
That I’m unstoppable
and that no one can bring me down!
Step right in
Erase what's on your mind
Step right in
Leave everything behind
Leave it behind

NO CIGAR
tell us where you're from, what you want to become. and we'll say if you're ok. where did you go to school ? right answer and you're cool. yeah you're the kid all day. you get a sticker in your face. information about the case, so you know your potential. don't you think you can extend, don't you think you can extend, just comprehend. but i don't wanna hear it, no it's more than i can accept. i don't care where i belong no more. what we share or not i will ignore. we will shut you out. we'll put you in doubt if you think that you're special. we'll tell you know you are. tell you that you're close but no cigar. but, i don't want wanna hear it, no it's more than i can accept. 'cause i don't care where i belong no more. what we share or not i will ignore. and i won't waste my time fitting in. 'cause i don't think constrast is a sin. what they say is... go back, where you came from. they'll tell you that, but i don't wanna hear. no, i don't wanna hear. no, i don't wanna hear it. no, it's more than i accept. 'cause i don't care where i belong no more. what we share or not i will ignore. and i won't waste my time fitting in. 'cause i don't think constrast is a sin. no it's not a sin
FOX
i met a fox the other day. when i asked how much she cost, i had to pay. all of a sudden i'd brought her home. she's my world, she's so rad. she's the best ride i ever had. she's my life, she's so bad. she's the best ride i ever had. when i imagine me and her. you know that i get a stand-up fur. i give her oil, i give her gas, and get her seat beneath my ass. then the turtledoves drive away. she's secondhand, so what ? she's true, she's by my side. for all i care she's hot, she's a real good ride. when we go out people stop and stare with jealous minds. it's ok for me as long as they let her be. to prevent something like a theft i got her locked around a tree.
MATERIAL BOY
i'm leaving the wat. to buddism no longer loyal. i'm breaking my heart, as my compassion to the third world turned to greed bye bye, real mccoy, no ideal as if i was royal. no, i'm a material boy. there's nothing in this world i don't think i need. now i'm shopping, i'm not stopping. there will always be new new stuff to buy and i'll expand my needs somehow i bought an imac and mouse, a phone to go with my spirit. next step might be a house, six bedrooms and pool just for me. i will live a tsar, the beggars chant won't hear it. i'll have a boat, new tv and car. and in my mouth a far cuban cigar. now i'm shopping, i'm not stopping. there will always be new new stuff to buy and i'll expand my needs somehow
DUCKPOND
everbody is leaving from this town and from me. they've got the burning flame, they sure achive their aim. you know that's tough for me to see. oh, how i wish that i could do the same as them and go. just pack my bads and good-bye. get out fast or fade away real slow. what you see is what you get right here, where a change is nowhere near. what you see is what you get from me. in this duckpond, leave me be. i pretend my life is perfect like the faces on tv. yeah, that's the only way to face another day, try to deny the misery. but those are the ways of looney's and like a clown, yeah, i do act. no matter where i could be or would like to go, i'm stuck here, that's a fact. i'm too weak, i'm down on my knees, too feeble for something new. feels like there's nothing i can do, keep on laughing 'bout me, keep on doing your own, but someday i will be that one. be that one. yeah, someday i will be that one....
RIGHT ABOUT NOW
i gotta get me grip and be strong. gotta show i can rip, moving on. as i'm trembling, it's not ending. gotta avoid to make slips and meet nongs. 'cause i want it, yeah i wanna live my life. i wanna live my life in this world. and i need it. yes i need it. yeah, i need to spend my days on this earth. i gotta learn to say no, disallow. well, it's my turn to go pro, right about now. i've been fading for too long, degrading. i gotta earn me some dough, this is how. at 23, i was far from feeling free. at 24, my life was a big bore. now i'm 25 and i'm still not high, yeah, i'm 25 but still alive. i'll never give up until i reach my goal, until i reach my goal ... controlling body and soul.
PENGUINS & POLARBEARS
i don't want you to know too much about me, oh no. 'cause i know you'll take advantage of the words that i say. you're looking for a way to depress me, make me pay. you don't want me to be too close around you 'cause i would see. all the weak sides that you got, but which you're trying to hide. you know that i would nail you if i could nurse my pride. you're on the top when i'm low. as soon as you're fading i will grow. i don't like you. you don't like me. we're lacking energy. yeah, we're lacking energy. it's a mindgame we play. rule the roost, major cliche`. while one of us is fit the other's going insane. and every time we think the positions will remain. you're on the top when i'm low. as soon as you're fading i will grow. i don't like you. you don't like me. we're lacking energy. yeah, we're lacking energy. so you got me up against the wall and i'm only waiting for your fall. i'll get back on top and be carefree. it's not the end for me, no it's not the end for me. i know we're thinking the same and our opponent's the one to blame. thinking this way is not something that we both longed for. living this way is something we never did plan. but i don't think we will change, 'cause we're stuck in roles as other's antipoles.
HELLMAN
no matter what i feel you, those three words i can't say. i regret the times i used the word ok. i know how much it means when people show they really care. of the value in honesty, i'm quite aware. but still there's much in me that i don't share. don't have the guts to say what i think. i'm too scared to say what i think of you. the other way aronud i'd say i function the same way. the darker sides of me i underplay. afraid to get into conflicts, afraid to tell you, no. though i know this weakness keeps me low. there's so much inside me that i don't show. somethings i can never show. why i don't know ... don't have the guts to say what i think. i'm too scared to say what i think of you. i'm too scared of what i really think of you.
DEVIL ME
yes i'm a yugoslav, indeed a swede. got two brothers, girlfriend, dad and mom. good boxershorts i need, lots of maps i read. i would love to run my own farm. i like the beatles, funk and punk. i watch hockey, basketball and play chess. i eat veggie-junk and love superchunk. to boule and travel i say yes. all this i adore at the same it's just me. it's what i care for, it's what i want to be. i want it all, i want it all to stay right here. i want it all to be a part of slick nick's sphere i want it all to be sincere where ever i go. lisa, madonna are girls who know where it's at and dr.kris is a favorite rocker. my main star is miat, we have a car, a fiat. yeah, still my dearest sport is soccer. i'm not an ace on bass, it's what i face. but yeah, think it's king to sing. sailingboats i chase, i'd like to go into space. riding by silverfox is the real thing. i want it all, i want it all to stay right here. i want it all to be a part of slick nick's sphere i want it all to be sincere where ever i go. where ever i go, where ever i go, where ever i... all aronud the world i go, pennybridge, belgrade and even t.o.
STOP TO THINK
you never wanted me to go. you didn't dare to let me know. that luck could turn back to my side. i knew my wishes qualified, so why won't you let me show who i am. i'm not doing this because of you. and i, i'm not here because you want me to. i know you're feeling you can me through. well, it's all lost the moment i stop to think. now i'm leaving you in fear, but i will come back every year to be the fifth wheel you don't need. i'll be a reason for you to speed. so why won't you let me show who i am. the moment i stop to think, same moment as i start to sink. sometimes i wish i were like you, so why won't you try to see who i am.
THE MAYFLY
everything's complete, the newly wed syndrome. the mayfly hit street, everbody in plus. burnt out as can be, watching you go home. it's crystal clear to me. you no longer need us. it's ok, we'll come around. now there's nothing left for us, we're packing up, saying goodbye. to a place no one can trust. to a scene based on a lie. i truly hope we won't retreat. the same mistake we won't repeat. the bond was stabile as a shed. love is mutual, love is dead. everything went great with lot's of beginners luck. the mayfly on a skate, timing in perfection. bored out as can be. monkey's getting stuck. the four of us agreed we need to follow the action, where ever that might be... here i go, i'm tried about what all you say. -just one show, you owe it to the kids, so play! that's all bull, the main thing's that we're having fun! said and done, said and done, i don't owe a shit to anyone.
HIGHWAY DONKEY
when i was younger i did not know how to be. i lived my own lie and i never asked the question why. i always talked and dressed like everyone 'round me. where were my own view and my own thoughts? i don't have a clue. insecurity, no confidence that was my style. i did some false things, you'd say i was playing the wrong strings. to realize and see how lost i was, it took a while. but it was worth it 'cause now i'm much more confident and fit. i'm not going down the highway, 'cause i had the might to stop and turn around before it was too late. instead i'm slowly going my way and if i don't reach the top, i still got lots right here i appreciate. just because i'm older now does not mean i'm complete. yeah, i still have fear, it's not as strong but it's still here. and i'm confused at times, but now i know where to put my feet. right in my own tral. that's the only place if i don't wanna fail.
A-TEN
i'm holding you as you feel scared and small. you've lost someone you love and it's her you're thinking of. it's all that matter to you right now and it will be like this for long. i'll be close to you, won't hide 'cause i know you need me by your side. you wanna see her back again. you wanna see her back into this world. these past few months have been the toughest of your life. you've lost someone you love and there's no greather pain above. i know how close you were you two and the joy and love you shared. it was sweet for me to see, but now it's aching inside me. if only she could see you now. deep inside i think she can somehow. she'd be the happiest mom, she'd be so proud. she's laugh and smile, -shut up you're dreaming ! you're screaming at me loud. and that's the way you really feel. back into this world ...
PEPPER
so you ain't got all you chickens home, but from what i do recall, you don't have incurable syndromes. so don't you worry about a single thing. don't you hurry, you're a future king. i know it's all in you, just gotta find out what you wanna do. i know it's all in you and deep inside you feel it too. they say you're lazy and don't wanna work. it's not too crazy not to wanna slave, you're not a jerk. so don't you doubt about your future plan. you're a knockout and i'm your biggest fan. you know it's up to you. you always have an option to choose what you wanna do, take control or run and hide. it's ok to take a fall, if you have good intentions. as long as you give it all, you'll feel good inside. i know it's all in you. just gotta find out what you wanna do. i know it's all in you and deep inside you feel it too. i know it's all in you, the common sense, splendid point of view. i know it's all in you, all your dreams they can come true.
THE BALLAD
the last selection in the ballgame. does never get a pass. "not appreciated's" just his first name. he's the scapegoat of the class. there are no friends to cheer him up and no girls, no sweet romance. it's impossible to expand, when you never get a second chance. do you know, who's that guy, who'll all alone? do you care enough too see? he's in pain and misery. he's not going to the school-prom, he said he had the fly. trumped-up excuses as he told mom. -i'm safer here with you. she tol dher son -someday they'll all be sorry for mistreating you. don't be afraid my son and trust me, -you'll be someone they will look up to. do you know, who's that guy, who'll all alone? do you care enough too see? he's in pain and misery...do you care to see? do you know, who's that guy, who'll all alone? do you care enough too see? he's in pain and misery.

IN A ROOM
the sun is shining and the babes are surfing nude i've got a bud in my hand and i'm relaxing in the sand i smile, they smile as my bud is getting hot they want me to be a surfer and man why not? i'm surfing in my room i feel so satisfied as i'm surfing in my room the wind is blowing and the waves are all i see they take me away into another perfect dream that's what it is, a dream surfing in my room, i feel like a star it's just too bad that i can't get far i feel like a man a don juan on my board, that's what i am
PAIN
when i saw you, i was not even looking i heard you scream without raising your voice will i run or let you have your fun i feel like i ain't got no choice but maybe i ask too much or walk in the wrong direction all those thoughts drive me insane and i wonder how long i fell this pain, is not really what it is no, it's something different with a different name and you, you never tell me a damn thing i hope someday i'll learn to play this game fear, of course i fear the unknown because the unknown is a stranger to me but if you erase the pj's then what could a stranger be that remains to be seen life goes on, it's just the same every day life goes on, though you think you feel this pain
SHAKE ME
i spend all the weekdays hangin' out with you i guess i haven't got a better thing to do you give me nothing though i'm happy all the time when the weekend comes you turn me down you try to shake me do you remember when we were playing pool i was romantic and said you were a fool those are the moments that i really miss when i'm cool and you think i try to dis i tried to hide my pain inside of me but when you came you made me feel real you made me feel like i really am god damn, now i'm loosing you just because i care you are my headache, i don't wanna be alone when i'm lonely you make me write another song i think of you and all the things we've done who's the loser and who has won?

BULLION
twenty one, feeling down i tell you nothing with a thousand words and i weaker get, with every step i waste my money on compact disc's and staly fish i can't remember the last time i did something that made me feel alright longer that a few hours if i only had the strength to make some muffins then i swear that i would share them with you now am i odd or am i not? that's a question i spend time analysing i'm so soft, but still i'm not living up to what people want me to be cause i'm busy with me, myself, and i can't be understood by someone i don't know too well so i'm shutting out the whole world just to play nintendo i've got these new games but i'm afraid you can't join me ...these last few years i've been struggling and i'm tired of keeping low profile so now it's time to show that i'm alive... i'm gonna change my life, plans, vans start to dance change my thoughts, sox, moves, even my pro fighter q
OLYMPIC
could it be i'm a lonely one that made everything so upside-down now could it be all the lies i told that gave nightmares to me after an olympic day you said everything was fine but i saw you through and i knew that i was just as bad as you never said i would give you up but if i must then tell me why now never said i believed in all those things i've heard about you from those rumours now i thought everything was fine but you proved me wrong and i was taken by surprise don't like me, don't like me don't you know i'm good for nothing don't like me, was what you told me when i called you up don't like me, don't like me don't you know, i'm good for nothing don't like me, whatever i may say to make you feel that way could it be i'm a lonely one that turned everything so upside-down now could it be that you told me that you still loved me that made me change so quickly now i heard me when you called don't like me, don't like me don't you know i'm good for nothing don't like me, was what i told you when you called me up don't like me, don't like me don't you know i'm good for nothing don't like me, even though inside i know i want you to didn't want to tell you what to do
MOVE YOUR CAR
when you've been pushed to the side you feel kind of useless it feels like something's left inside so do it right this time and leave that stuff behind stop thinking about it, you have to get away right now so move your car, i think it's best for you right now move your car, you have to get on with your life so do it now! you don't deserve to feel this way cause you're not a loser you have to clear your mind and see that it was not your fault and you're not the one to blame you can put it away now, so take some time to change your life i guess that's best for you to move that car it will take some time, but in the end you'll find that you are worth a better life than this
KILLERCRUSH
i wonder what the best thing is to have a face or to have charm? well, my girl's two-faced and she's a fart-alarm i'm not blind and i do have nose but i don't wanna use it now i rather try to follow my heart this time good looks, it makes me nervous i need someone who's not perfect it's you, you're overweight and lovely yes, it's true, a pig in walking shoes you drool every time we kiss, i must say you rule i'm falling in love with you i know that all those trendy girls would leave me when i'm broke and also be disgusted if i smoke, no joke i don't want no model unless she has a major body just an ounce of human touch, i realize it's a killercrush i'm dancing, i'm overjoyed i took a chance on you cause i wanted some romance too and now i'm happy as can be cause this supersized woman means all to me
FRIENDS 'TIL THE END
first words you say in tears, complaining how i'm never near i know i'm lost sometimes cause i'm grounded in my mind it's like this all the time, first i say that you're ok than i go my way and you're desperate, so desperate when you're down here i stand, take my hand and i'll try to understand you right the best way i can, cause after all i am your friend last words you scream to me, you don't expect too much of me cause i could give you anything if i could just be myself it's like that all the time, first i say that you're ok then i go my way again you're so desperate but still mine but now the girl is working, now the girl feels fine and i'm the one who feels down, but if she'll be working until the end of time i hope she'll understand me then, the best way she can cause after all i am her friend till the end
THE STORY OF MY LIFE
the story of my life, well let's just say it's a fork and a knife there is one thing on my mind, one thing all the time, i got to fill my mouth got no favorite meal, i say every meal is clean if it fills me up for real my belly's big and it's just a start, my appetite is my heart and when i had enough i just throw up and laugh this time, it's not a cow, it's kind of personal, can't explain to you why this time, it's not a cow, so mr pc are you ready to bow breakfast in bed, the bed's in the kitchen so it's easy to be fed and when i'm fed, yes, when i'm fed, i go right back to bed food and sleepwatch, the thing should keep me from having too much sometimes it feels that i could kill for desert the story of my life, a big fork and the sharpest knife i guess this solid bridge leads me on to the nearest fridge not a pig, sheep, chicken, moose, duck, snake, horse or a frog
JELLYGOOSE
you know the times when i'm lost and confused, i lose control, and i find you to abuse, i feel like shit now cause it's getting to me, i treat you like someone i don't wanna be i talk to myself and say that you're outstanding, then you call me up and i explain how i'm sorry again it's not the first time our love seems to be fading, but we're still here and same things we're defending, you leave me now and there will be no happy ending, we can at least try to pretend we share my bed when we could share so much more, if we just could talk things out i'd sleep on the floor, i wanna give you all respect that i can it can be hard cause i'm just a boy not a man you have a point when you suggest it's not that simple, i guess you're right cause there is many things on a plough i need a rest right now, from myself and everyone, i got to focus my mind on you, you're the one i love
REPLAY
another fairytale about these endless feelings and when it's heating up i think i'm stuck forever, i try to lose some weight, i try to get in shape but in the end i always end up lost inside my myself up and down gets nothing done, i just keep it waiting round and round out with the thumb, no, i just keep on waiting twelve numbers stare at me, sometimes it's not that easy, instead of waking up i think i'll sleep forever, what happened to the day routines that always kept me going? where the hell are all the dreams i had about my life? ...now, but someday i'll get the time, to get me back on the right track and no more slack, got to keep an open mind, i got to get out of this daily grind and deep inside i know i will
VULCAN EARS

OTIS
