One More Song

I need one more song
A waltz or a sing-a-long
It can’t go wrong
Just one more song
I need one more song
Punk or a sing-a-long
It can’t go wrong
With one more song

The bed is made
A colourful spread
The princess weeps
Upset Upset
The hill is flat
The sea is dry
Birds are dead
Upset Upset
The army is gone
The loser has won
This is not
A Happysong
Roads are empty
Lives misled
Signs are red
Upset Upset

Why lead a mediocre life
Don’t conform to normality
Live your dream
In a better reality
A virtual world
Always online
Multiplayer games
A moment to shine
Death to the demoness Allegra Geller!
Liberate yourself
And feel free
Escape your life
Be who you want to be

Feed The Cat
01:22
|
|||
|
When I get up
Feed the cat
When I come home
Feed the cat
She’s waiting for me
Hungry and lonely
Her wining is
Driving me mad

You see what you want to see
Who made you the queen bee
Believe it or not
The world does not
Revolve around you
We are here to serve you
Majesty tells us what to do
You see what you want to see
When you’re thinking me me me me me
You’re mean

I Never...
01:25
|
|||
|
People think I’m lazy
People think I’m crazy
But they don’t ask why
I’ll never go where I’m supposed to go
I’ll never read what I’m supposed to read
People say I’m crazy
People say I’m lazy
But they never ask why
I never go where I’m supposed to go
I never read what I’m supposed to read
I never think what I’m supposed to think
I never do what I’m supposed to think

Symphorophilia
01:22
|
|||
|
When I see a lady in her automobile
I crash into her to cop a feel
I haven’t had a woman in many years
So I crash my car
To crush my fears
A yellow sedan
A Honda Accord
A two cylinder
Is all I can afford

Public Transportation I
01:45
|
|||
|
Public transportation is so easy today
Just take the bus or the subway
Walking on the pavement
Nobody I know
Just strangers
I feel alone
Round heads
Many eyes
Moving legs
Fat behinds

Attention miss Fiona a message for you
I understand you’re afraid
But I can’t wait
Your couch may be nice
But it sure ain’t no paradise
Apple
Apple
Woman, we need new music
Extraordinary complicated
Hello?
This is your manager
Hi
Your account
What?
Totally empty!
If you need somebody
to feed your cat
I can do that

Out Before I Begin
01:29
|
|||
|
In a bar
In a cafe
Drinking beer
The whole day
The sun is out, but I am in
I am out before I begin
In the bus
In the train
No-one to talk to
The whole day
The sun is out, but I am in
I am out before I begin

Anti-TV Song
01:55
|
|||
|
You don’t have to watch TV
To have an opinion
To hear good music
To understand politics
To hear the news
It’s meaningless
Degrading
Dumbing down
Home invading
Our view of the world
Is mutilated
Shallow entertainment
God knows who made it

Breaking The Chain
01:51
|
|||
|
You think you can cure me
To take me back home
It’s time for your plan B
I’m born to be alone
You think you can change me
Into a better man
It’s time for your plan B
Oh Barbie, I ain’t Ken
I won’t see you again
I’m breaking the chain
You think you can own me
To make me your PA
It’s time for your plan B
I’m going away

Don't Waste Your Time
01:38
|
|||
|
If you can’t live together, you’ll die alone
That is something can’t postpone
Don't Waste Your Time
Don't Waste Your Time
It’s always later than you think
Life is over in a blink
Don’t waste your potential
And try to be gentle

Public transportation is so easy today

Nothing!
01:17

I like to sit on the couch
And stare at nothing
I like to sit on the couch
And think nothing
Watching the paint dry
Watching the grass grow
I like to sit on the couch
And do nothing
It’s a wonder this song was written
It’s a wonder this is a recording
I like to sit on the couch
Nothing
Nothing
