It's a strange perk
I must confess
You cannot resent
This written mess
The wall black
Egg revoking
The ink blur
I ain't joking
I lost
You won
Teardrop son
Filthy seance
Wonder ego
Herb hating
Yeti witch

I Don't Wanna Start
01:11
|
|||
I'm like my car
On a bad day
I'm like a train
With some delay
I'll do it tomorrow
Mañana sounds fine
The couch is soft
The wine devine
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
Start
Today

Second Term President
01:44
|
|||
He nice to meet you
I'm your man
Tell me what you want
And I do what I can
I can lower taxes
Decrease the deficit
Banish unemployment
And defeat that mormon Mitt
I'm a
3x Second Term President
I'll end all wars
And close GBay
I'll fix global warming
Osama won't get away
of wait, we already got him
I'm a
3x Second Term President
vote!
vote!
vote!
vote!
vote for me.
I'll never tell a lie
I'm the man with the plan
And when I die
I'll rise again
I'm a
3x Second Term President
And with a bit of luck
I won't be a lame duck
(this message was not approved by president Obama)

Silent Movie Stars
01:37
|
|||
I’ve got pictures on the wall
Some large some small
They don’t live anymore
Old movie stars I adore
They live on the screen
All these brilliant movies to be seen
Silent movies speak so well
The women look so swell
Old movie stars I adore
I’m not alone anymore
They live on the screen
All these brilliant movies to be seen

Daddy Ran Away
00:55
|
|||
Papa didn’t save
Enough money
To be our dad
So he ran away
So he ran away
So he ran away
Daddy ran away
Now we’re starving
Begging for food
Mam is a junk
Mam is drunk
Daddy ran away
Daddy ran away
Daddy ran away
Daddy ran away

I don’t care about you
You don’t care about me
We don’t care about each other
And I feel free

In Front Of The TV
01:02
|
|||
let me present you
with the things I know
it may sound ridiculous
but it’s just for show
it may be creepy
it may be lame
you can loose your money
i’m not to blame
another productive day
in front of the TV
is this what your life
is gonna be
in the end you wonder
what just went by
and you may ponder
to laugh or to cry
sometimes it’s better
not to think about things
sometimes you can get there
without committing sins

Jonathan

he saw her
while repairing her car
at his garage
a real movie star
he watched her films
read all her books
visited her concerts
admiring her looks
jonathan
jonathan
her biggest fan
he wrote her letters
poured out his soul
so much to say
to his idol
he send her emails
composed her a song
never a reply
something must be wrong
her brake fluid light
went red instead of green
her car dissappeared
in a deep ravine
he visits her grave
twice a day
a flower for his lady
and so much to say

Letting You Go
01:19
|
|||
verse
every night the same whining
I don’t listen anymore
I am bored when we’re dining
because you always end up crying
chorus
every room has a door
I can’t help you anymore
you seem to be forgetting
I’m letting you goooo
verse
u preach with your hand
u fall on your knees
the rock beneath the sand
is unable to bend
chorus
I can’t help you anymore
every room has a door
you seem to be forgetting
I’m letting you goooo

My Cat Is Dead
01:17
|
|||
She was sick
Laid down her head
Now she’s gone
My dear loved cat
My cat is dead
I’ve saved her
From the animal shelter
Fat and smart
She stole my heart
She became thinner
Her vision retarded
Her hearing impaired
Her fur matted
She couldn’t hear me anymore
In my mind she is still alive
Leaving a path of destruction
With her sweeping tail
In a feline paradise

Big Leap
01:16
|
|||
When you leave your home
To live on your own
When you marry your spouse
and buy a new house
It's a big leap
It's a big leap
When you hold your newborn
baby in your arm
When you're dying in bed
Filled with regrets

The Summer's Sun
01:49
|
|||
I like to take long walks
Through the wavy hills
Seeing cows grazing grass
Four stomachs to fill
I feel it in my bones
I am no longer alone
Trees are moving
Wind is grooving
Fresh like it's just begun
Fresh like a summer's sun
I like to sit
Near the fire place
Reading books on the couch
No more pain to face
I feel it in my bones
I am finally alone
Flames are moving
Warmth is soothing
Fresh coals are fighting to glow
Fresh like the winter's snow

And realizing
Life is worth living

(Just A) Soundcheck
01:42
|
|||
I can say that I love you
I’ll move for you
I want your children
I’ll even love them too
But it’s worth a heck
This is just a soundcheck
I can say I feel happy
I can think I feel free
I’m smart as a whistle
And rich like a bee
But it’s worth a heck
This is just a soundcheck

Fire & Ice
01:17
|
|||
I would like to talk to you
See you
Wouldn’t that be nice?
I would like to hug you
Like other people do
Wouldn’t that be nice?
But it would be like
Fire .... and ice
You can ran away
Like and old school dictator
Go astray
Won’t see you later
I like to visit you
But we are through
We pay the price
We’re like
Fire .... and ice

I'm NSFW
02:11
|
|||
I ruined my assignment
I yell at customers
I crashed the companies car
And sole our trade secrets to the Chinese
I’m always late
And leave early
I break my computers
and pay the wrong accounts
I’m the nightmare
Of every manager
I’m a 1st class jerk
I’m NSFW
Harass my female colleagues
Sabotage the outings
I spit in their coffee
I insult the CEO
I steal from the canteen
Clog the toilets
Play pc games all day
My desk is a total mess
I’m the nightmare
Of every manager
I’m a 1st class jerk
I’m NSFW
The company is running at a loss
They are blaming me but I just blame my boss

Werewolf
00:56
|
|||
Kitty roams the streets
day and night
searching for food
or someone to fight
Kitty is a werewolf
Kitty is a werewolf
Her presence makes you laugh or cry
sometimes she is brutal
sometimes she is shy
And when she picks you
to mate with her
put your hands
in her warm fur

This World Will End
02:26
|
|||
In the event of the money misspent
Worrying if you can pay the rent
One man’s ceiling is another men’s floor
Poverty consists in feeling poor
We’re heading for the main event
A global big bang, this world will end
It’s no surprise, people aren’t so wise
They hit themselves against the same stone twice
The Mayan people already said
In 2012 we’ll all be dead
We’re heading for the main event
A global big bang, this world will end
We’re heading for the main event
A global big bang, the world will end
The world will end

Last year I was sad
Just married a gingerbread
Finally we went to bed
I discovered she was a lad
This may not be my best day
Last week I was sad
There were mice in my bed
Put poison in the bread
Accidentally killed my dad
This may not be my best day
Today I am sad
Wall Street went into red
Want to play Russian Roulette
Put a gun against me head
This may not be my best day
|

I want to see the Hudson
Cruising towards Albany
Taking a break in Poughkeepsie
That’s where I want to be
I want to live where the life is pretty
I want to live in NYC
Peekskill, Kinderhook, Coxsackie
Catskill and Schenectady
Yonkers, Bronx, Staten Island
There is so much to see
And of course I want to see Brooklyn
Cony Island, JFK
Flushing, Flatlands, Rockaway
Long Island here I come
I want to stay where the life is great
I want to stay in NY State

Why Don't You Talk To Me
01:35
|

Why don’t you talk to me
Am I so hard to see
You’re my inspiration
Why don’t you talk to me
Why don’t you notice me
Am I the enemy
You’re my inspiration
Why don’t you notice me
I was standing near the Wailing Wall
I felt so small
In the Church Of The Holy Sepulchre
I wondered if you still care
I do exist
(You can’t ignore me)

I want to start
all over again
I want to start
all over again
all over again
all over again
all over again
agaaaaain
I want to start
all over again
I want to start
all over again
all over again
all over again
all over again
agaaaaain
Back to square one
I have lost
You have won
The damage cannot be undone
Let’s remember how we began
I want to start
all over again
I want to start
all over again

I'm Still Around
01:51
|

Drums to the left
Keyboard to the right
Bass in the middle
Dark, not bright
Guitar in the back
Digital track
Vocals in the front
With some feedback
I’m still around
Tightly homebound
I’m still around
Improving my sound
Waiting for something to happen
Waiting for something to happen
