A is for angry, which is what you are at me
A is for adult, which is what I'll never be
A is for applesauce, my favorite meal
A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel;
Like I'm the only man on Earth, and I've forgotten what that's worth
A is for Arthur, he's a lovable drunk
A M & Azing, like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that's not even there and
it's just you begging for attention or something I won't even mention
And I don't even know why you keep on trying
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
And two of them can't let go
A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said, 'cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for affection
A is arousal, you are giving me an erection
C'mon I'm trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour
I met a woman I used to know
Long before you, long ago
All I could say, after hello
Was "are you still single?"
A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance; emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole, which is what I am, how rude of me.

Chorus: 2x
Boy, all I see, is you and me
And all I do, is think of you
Yo, I remember when we met the whole scene was set
Backstage rockin' black shades
Told you not to be afraid
We touched and when your smile turned to a blush[Incomprehensible]
I had to get to know your name
Then I got your number
17 and under, maybe just a little younger
Had to get to know you, 'cause there's things I wanna show you
Forget them other brothers they know lines that they told you
Now your acting all shy, hmm I wonder why
Everytime I looked at you, you turned and drop your eye
We faced, began to lace you up with lines
Fragrance by Ann Klein had me losing my mind
With your zodiac sign, my perfect match, in fact
I'm compatible with anything from Mio to Ash
Now it's all about us we're hooked like drugs
I'm on my way to being a thug, show me love
Boy all I see, is you and me
And all I do is, think of you
Give me the chance to know your name
I'll never turn and walk away
I can't get you out of my mind
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hooked after just one look
Yeah see you at the mall with your mom looking all flashy
Poppin' out of a taxi, met eues when you passed me
Been inside of my head all day, what can I say?
All I can do is reminicse like Mary J
I want to get with you
So come and get with me
We'll be K-I-S-S-I-N-G and all that good stuff
Calling you bluff, now look at us
Just met and already talkin' 'bout trust
All the things we did, how we planned to live
How you got rid me of that kid, who use to call you crib
Shut it down
Now look what you found a state of dawn
You da bomb, plus you got props from my mom
Now it's all about us we're hooked like drugs
I'm on my way to being a thug, show me love
I can't get you out of my mind
Think about you all of the time
Wanna get to know you baby, oh
I'm glad I made my move
I'm glad I stepped to you
Enough respect that my whole crew accepted you
Even my ex called you 'cause she wasn't insecure
Feeling got a little hurt but was being mature
Gave her blessings that she learned some valuable lessons
Now she use me as her reference
She's my best friend
Don't even stress, 'cause all I see is you and me
Like Latifah you're Queen, let's bring some unity
Ain't no reason to fight, you know we're keeping it tight
Whether walking or holding hands or sharing seats on the bike
Always on my mind with your Gucci design
Feel free to drop a line, yeah that would suit me fine
It's all about you boo, and all the things you do
Making dreams come true, buying rings for two
Now it's just be you we're hooked like drugs
I'm on my way to being a thug, show me love
Boy all I see, is you and me
And all I do, is think of you
Give me the chance to know your name
I'll never turn and walk away
Boy all I see, is you and me
And all I do, is think of you
Give me the chance to know your name
I'll never turn and walk away
Boy all I see, is you and me
And all I do, is think of you
Give me the chance to know your name
It's Sunday morning
My body just won't go
I'll shower, put on my makeup
Hoping you won't show
I'm sittin' here watchin' TV
But soon all starts to drift away
Oh
Lazy days
Sittin' around doing nothing
Now and then
Here or there like that or something
All my silly worries
Slowly start to lift
I'm in no hurry
I've got no bone to pick
Just wanna think about friends and family
And all the things I love to do
Like play guitar
Lazy Days
Sittin' around doing nothing
Now and then
Here or there like that or something
Lazy Days
Sittin around doing nothing
Sometimes, I get locked in a daydream
But to tell you the truth, I don't wanna' wake up
Lazy Days
Sittin' around doing nothing
Now and then
Here or there like that or something
Lazy Days
Sittin' around doing nothing
Now and then
Here or there like that or something
Every day is like a Monday morning
Every day is always grey and boring
Get out of bed, out of your head
Like anyone, like anyone
You second guess what is in the papers
You do your best to annoy the neighbours
I need a holiday, You're underpaid
Like anyone, like anyone
You're smashing up the bus stops (bus stop)
There's panic when the snow drops (snow drop)
You blow a ton, to have some fun
Like anyone, like anyone
Welcome to my land, this broken island
Not all it's cracked up to be
And we're second best to all the rest
So count me out 'cause I confess
I'm over it and it is over me
Every day it's just repeats on TV
But that's ok 'cause you never pay your fee
And now we're late, learn to hate
Like everyone, like everyone
Forever losing at our own game (own game)
But we invented it, so no shame (no shame)
Another war will feed the poor
Like anyone, like everyone
Welcome to my land, this broken island
Not all it's cracked up to be
And we're second best to all the rest
So count me out 'cause I confess
I'm over it and it is over me
Welcome to my land, this broken island
Not all it's cracked up to be
And we're second best to all the rest
So count me out 'cause I confess
I'm over it and it is over me
Welcome to my land, this broken island
Not all it's cracked up to be
And we're second best to all the rest
So count me out 'cause I confess
There's an angel on the corner
And they say she's watching over
Over when we are under
Fall asleep on the ground
Hey, can you feel it calling your name?
Like a storm on a bone in the rain
The pain now going you're not around
Wide awake for the night again
Awake for the night again
Hanging on the phone I can't wait a minute longer
Gonna teach you the art of making sense
I gotta rock another city
I gotta break another country
I'm gonna kick it 'til I'm 50
Or I'm deep in the ground
Hey, not another bone for the pain
I'm never drinking again
It don't make sense when you're not around
Wide awake for the night again
Awake for the night again
Hanging on the phone I can't wait a minute longer
Gonna teach you the art of making sense
There's a devil on the road
There's a devil on the road
There's a devil on the road
I can feel it call your name
The feeling that's keeping me sane
Wide awake when you're not around
Wide awake for the night again
Awake for the night again
Hanging on the phone I can't wait a minute longer
Hard times spreading just like the flu
Watch out homeboy, don't let it catch you
P-p-prices go up, don't let your pocket go down
When you got short money you're stuck on the ground
Turn around, get ready, keep your eye on the prize
And be on point for the future shock
Hard times [repeat 2x]
Hard times are coming to your town
So stay alert, don't let them get you down
They tell you times are tough, you hear that times are hard
But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card
Hard times got our pockets all in chains
I'll tell you what, homeboy, it don't have my brain
All day I have to work at my peak
Beacuse I need that dollar every day of the weak
Hard times
Hard times can take you on a natural trip
So keep your balance, and don't you slip
Hard times is nothing new on me
I'm gonna use my strong mentality
Like the cream of the crop, like the crop of the cream
B-b-beating hard times, that is my theme
Hard times in life, hard times in death
I'm gonna keep on fighting to my very last breath
Uh uh, yeah-yeah yeah-yeah yeah-yeah
Bout' to set it off one time
For the cats that be buggin'
Ha, Clark Kid what the deal?
Group home, wanna hit?
Wild man rest in peace
Ant-Live
Yo, yo, yo, yo
[Verse One]
Yo it's the A-P-L-U, let me tell you
I'm sicker than any nigga that been admitted to Bel View
The rhymes I was born through a pen and my strongest strength
My pen is like a weapon when I hold it at arms length
With Kedar's consent I represent over tracks with Clark Kent
With some super vision from Superman
I get stupid man, you open off the verbal aerobics
I was in the Parkside state of mind when I wrote it
I'm the dopest, when it comes to this one
I'm invisible to ya third eye, you need a fourth or a fifth one
Maybe even a sixth one
Keep the Big Anther on the big gun for pin point accuracy to hit one
Never miss, the professional specialist remember this
The name A-plus it's anonymous with excellence
Don't forget that, before I have to get the click-clack
Give you a wetback believe me it'll be a major set back
[Chorus]
I gotta have it! It's automatic! Yeah!
So come clean and keep it real if you like my sound
I gotta have it! {Check it out} It's automatic! What!
Take that, take that, take that play-boy
I gotta have it! It's automatic! Uh!
So come clean and keep it real if you like my sound
I gotta have it! {Yo} It's automatic! {Check it out} Uh!
Take that, take that, take that play-boy
[Verse Two]
A yo I heard some kids puttin' my name in they childish rhymes
As if I ain't bout' it bout' it enough to handle mine
You little boys pushin' past the point of being annoyed
I'll destroy, every rapper on the east of Seaboard
Just to get you I take some steroids turn into a werewolf
Jump in the ring and bite your god damn ear off
If the combat is hand to hand I bang em' in
Going bannanas man like a angry orangutan
Double my rhymes walk back to the talk fast
And manufacture the data
Here on after for all rappers
For character, you can smash with the speed of the comic book character
Flash Gordan with verbal phonics spectacular
Hear you in the back of the audio screamin' like you want to enter this
tournament
Come on bring it on and prepare to get manslaughtered
With deadly force
And my style is causing nausea like the scorpion poison
[Chorus]
I gotta have it! It's automatic! {What what} Yeah!
So come clean {Suckas} and keep it real if you like my sound {Uh, check it
out}
I gotta have it! {Uh, Brooklyn} It's automatic! Yeah!
Take that, take that, take that playboy
I gotta have it! It's automacic! {Yeah yeah} What!
So come clean and keep it real if you like my sound
I gotta have it! It's automatic!
Yo take that, take that, take that A-Plus!
[Verse Three]
A-Plus it gotta' be hip-hop's youngest mistrosity
There isn't anyone under twenty-one that could rock me
You feelin' this, forty-eight track ventriloquist
The actual synthesis passin' out the class syllabus
Just imagine if I rip your crew into fragments
Destroy the evidence so nobody will know it happened
Walking through the neighborhood full of dead men doing head-spins
Pickin' em' up like red-mans
Lyrically modified to kick the hottest rhyme
At the drop of a dime I limbo below the bottom line
Kick it tight, rhymes sent Method Man to another lifetime
Keep Erykah all to myself cuz' I like dimes
Radiation from the bright shine meltin' MC's with height-lines
Cuz' I'm very selfish with my mic time
When I recite mine, my rhymes explode likd a pipe bomb
Nobody in they right or they left mind can test mine
[Chorus]
I gotta have it! It's automatic! Uh!
So come clean and keep it real if you like my sound
I gotta have it! It's automatic! What!
Take that, take that, take that top that
I gotta have it! It's automatic! Yeah!
So come clean and keep it real if you like my sound
I gotta have it! It's automatic! Yo!
Take that, take that, take that A-Plus
I gotta have it! {What what} It's auotmatic! Yeah!
So come clean and keep it real if you my sound
What, I can have it
Take that take that take that
That fly ish
Uh, Clark Kent
So come clean and keep it real if you like my sound
Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
A+, you know what I'm sayin
You wanna send some shout-outs to your peoples?
[A+]
Yeah I'd lie to give a shout-out to Parkside
Whole Strong Island, the east coast, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan
Lindenplace, all my peoples on Parkside militia keepin it real
My man crazy Sam, Russel Simmons, my moms
Kedar Entertainment, the Smith brothers, my whole label
And everybody out there supportin east coast
Alright, well this is A+
Now you should get his autograph sweetheart cuz he's about to blow up
Enjoy yourself, 9-8,
Get it straight, yo
Yes yes y'all steady playin' the wall, you're
too young to sip alchohol at the bar.
I'm ready to jet, girls actin' bougouise.
Yo Kedar, let me hold the keys to the car!
I'm in front of the club tryin' to bag a chick,
tryin' to get five of 'em cuz the whip seats six.
Feeling alright, chrome lookin real tight.
Watch the moonlight bounce off the pearl white.
Word money, i earn money just to burn money,
tryin' to get this federal reserve money.
There's two types of artists, expert and novice,
experts always hit the mark of their target.
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself for me
You know you gotta
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourelf, enjoy yourself with me
You gotta enjoy yourself, come on!
I have the baddest foundation ever established.
Me and my team bubble like Alka Seltzer tablets.
Nigga, don't sleep when it's time to creep,
a little pimp like me will crawl underneath.
It takes a lot more than words to move me,
I don't give a p-h-u-k what you say.
Acting all wild, unprofession-al,
who got beef, I knock the teeth out of ya smile.
My lyrical lubricant keeps the crowd moving,
You get booed when your stageshow needs improvement.
So if you wanna see A+, the artist,
You gotta Western Union me a key grand deposit.
While that cats out there steady kickin garbage,
Girls steady saying "Look, I can see who the god is."
You can't harm me or stop me,
even on a poor quality bootleg cassette copy.
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself for me
You know you gotta
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourelf, enjoy yourself with me
You gotta enjoy yourself, come on!
Take your time, make up your mind,
the dime pieces love the diamonds and the shine.
Real friends never fall in love,
staling my heart is like stealing a car with the club.
Nevertheless i get an occasional crush,
say some romantic stuff that make you wanna blush.
Girls in all flavors, no matter what their race is,
ryhmes amazing, making Craig Mack faces.
Take 'em back to the lab and touch three bases.
Take my time, dont wanna catch no rape cases,
kiss on the forehead and say "goodnight",
A+ y'all, and im out like 3 strikes...
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself for me
You know you gotta
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourelf, enjoy yourself with me
You gotta enjoy yourself, come on!
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself for me
You know you gotta
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourelf, enjoy yourself with me
You gotta enjoy yourself, you gotta enjoy yourself
Come on, come on, enjoy yourself, come on!
A+, big time,
The key you know, now get 'em,
It's my time, nigga,
9-8,
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna' know
I had so much to say
I thought I knew the answers
But that seems so long ago
And I wish there was another way
That didn't hurt so much
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I've learned a lot so far
It's got me thinking
What will happen down the road?
Sure I'll make mistakes
But I'll keep dreaming
They might come true you never know
And I wish there was another way
That didn't make me cry
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I gotta long, long way to go
Where I'm goin' I don't know but
I'll be alright
Just you wait and see...
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna know
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
On and on like a Rush song, like a long one
You're the miss in the partnership, yeah the right one
There will come a day when Ill bury you
I will go the same way, together,
Whatever there awaits us I'm gonna get through
And the closest thing to Jesus is suffering
And the closest thing between us is air
Don't say a word, that's not enough
Makes me sick when I think of it in the wrong way
Shitting bricks when I enter it in my bad brains
Like a wound up toy I'm kicking and a screaming
Emo boy, naive and semi-functioning
Hey this is a love song, hands up if you feel it.
And the closest thing to Jesus is suffering
And the closest thing between us is air
Don't say a word, that's not enough
And the closest thing to Jesus is suffering
And the closest thing between us is air
And the moment that's between us is everything
It's Friday afternoon
The rain is pouring down
I walk through the puddles
Each one a different sound
I pass your house
The feeling comes over me
It's just an emotion only the heart can say
Cause I miss you
Cause I miss you
I won't make a big scene I'll just walk on by
I can't help it all I can do is cry
I hang up my coat and I shut my door and sigh
It's just an emotion only my heart knows why
I miss you
Said I miss you
Said that I miss you
Said that I miss you
6 o'clock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?
To the right there's a sign, telling me which way to go
To the left there's an old man shouting at the radio
The radioooo-oh
Get out, get out, get out, yeah
6 o'clock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?
There's a man with a gold band, but he's got his eye on mine
There a bomb in a sports bag, could go off at any time - at any time!
When my knees don't work, I start to shake
I won't panic, I won't hesitate
It's alright, it's OK
The daylight is that way
We all go the same way
6 O'12 and I'm not well, gonna have a heart attack
Everyone is a bum, I'm gonna get my money back
Over there there's a square, talking to his telephone
Then he stares at my hair and suddenly I'm not alone, I'm not alone!
Get out, get out, get out yeah
Get out, get out, get out!
When my knees don't work, I start to shake
I won't panic, I won't hesitate
It's alright, it's OK
The daylight is that way
It's alright, it's OK
Remember hanging out?
No matter what we said
No matter what about
It felt okay
But now that we're on this date
I'm feeling out of place
I don't know what to say to you
Except
I wouldn't be here
If I didn't like you
I don't wanna lose the friend
That I have in you
Trying to make this
Easy as it could be
Hoping that you'll so you dont
Lose the friend in me
Yeah
Now were only 14
What's up with dating anyways?
Ohhh why waste the day
Haven't you noticed yet
We act a little different
Without all our friends around
It's not the same
And
I wouldn't be here
If I didn't like you
I don't wanna lose the friend
That I have in you
Trying to make this
Easy as it could be
Hoping that you'll so you don't
Lose the friend in me

Wondering

No matter what about

And

Fallin' down on the roof
In the month of May
I love to feel the sun
After the rain
On my face
But most of all
Yeah most of all
I love
You
You
I love the tree's of gold
Against the blue
October sky
I love to feel the sea
Runnin' over my feet
As the waves pass by
But most of all
Yeah most of all
I love
You
You
Another day late for the bus again
A single mom just trying to make ends meet
Go to work, be on time, get out of the grocery line
Before the kids get home
Everybody's in a hurry
Totally stressed out and worried
If only she could turn back time to when
She remembers
being 13
Sleeping in till 11:30
Dressing up in her mamma's jewellery
But she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
Summer seemed to last forever
Parents always stayed together
Nothing matters, yeah whatever
But she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
Sometime
A grey haired man in a pinstripe suit
His last report long overdue
He pulled up to his parking spot, found
someone took his job
Now what's he gonna' do?
Everybody's in a hurry
Totally stressed out and worried
If only he could turn back time to when
He remembers being 16
Quarterback of the old football team
Almost married the high school prom queen
But he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
Learned to drive on all the side streets
Bent the rules like they meant nothing
Stayed out late till the early morning
But he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
Sometime [x4]
Maybe I am only 14
Maybe someday I'll be prom queen
Drive myself to where I should be
But that's when I grow up, yeah that's when I grow up
But for now I'll drive my mamma crazy
Spin around till I get dizzy
Sleeping in till 11:30
But I'll have to grow up, yeah I gotta grow up sometime
She's lying on her bed
Alone in the dark
Remembers what's said
Staring at the marks
She's into deep
Crying herself to sleep
There's not much I can do
She's too far away
Yeah, Yeah
She needs her space
Whoa, Whoa
And sometime to think
I hope it's a faze
She's so out of place
And it's all thanks to you
So where will it end?
All roads have their bends
I know you feel sleepless
Wishing for cupid
No it's not your fault
Stop blaming yourself
It was never your call
And I really wanna' help
Yeah, Yeah
She needs her space
Whoa, Whoa
And sometime to think
I hope it's a faze
She's so out of place
And it's all thanks to you
Whoa, Whoa
Remember the good
Forget all the bad
She lives with her mother
But misses her dad
No it's not your fault
Stop blaming yourself
It was never your call
And I really wanna' help
Yeah, Yeah
She needs her space
Whoa, Whoa
And sometime to think
I hope it's a faze
She's so out of place
And it's all thanks to you

I hope it's a faze
She's so out of place
And it's all thanks to you
Life for her now
Is an obstacle course
No thanks to her parents
Divorce...
Love is taking it's own sweet time
I get a little impatient sometimes
But the blue sky's up above
White clouds sail away
And hey what's not to love
About today
I'm a cat in the sun
I'm gonna wait right here
I'm in no hurry
Love's gonna come
When it's good and ready
I'm not worried
A cat in the sun
My friends want me to go their way
Maybe tomorrow but not today
There's a bright sun shining down
Good things on the way
And hey what's not to love
About catching rays
I'm a cat in the sun
I'm gonna wait right here
I'm in no hurry
Love's gonna come
When it's good and ready
I'm not worried
A cat in the sun
A cat in the sun
I'm not worried love's gonna come my way
I'm in no hurry not today no no
But the blue sky's up above
White clouds sail away
And hey what's not to love
About today
I'm a cat in the sun
I'm gonna wait right here
I'm in no hurry
Love's gonna come
When it's good and ready
I'm not worried
A cat in the sun
A cat in the sun
When I look around me
Everything's so blurry
In a world that's bigger than me
When there's no one to talk to
I can lay mine on you
You will always comfort me
For every step that's held me back
For every second chance I've had
You always seem to, to find a way
To tell me...
That you love me
That you need me
That you'll find me whenever I get lost inside my head
That you'll save me
Completely
From a world that's bigger than me
In the blink of an eye
You make everything right
No more dark cloud following
When I've got empty pockets
And when I'm stuck in traffic
I can tell it's you just by the ring
For every corner cut too fast
For every time that I came last
You always seem to, to find a way
To tell me...
That you love me
That you need me
That you'll find me whenever I get lost inside my head
That you'll save me
Completely
From a world that's bigger than me
When I look around me
Everything's so blurry
In a world that's bigger than me
But you love me
But you need me
But you'll find me whenever I get lost inside my head
But you'll save me
Completely
From a world that's bigger than me
But you need me
But you'll find me whenever I get lost inside my head
But you'll save me
Completely
From a world that's bigger than me
From a world that's bigger than me...
It's summer on the underground
So much sweat a man could drown
There's a panic on the overland
And London Bridge is falling down
The temperature is 92
It's baking in the vocal booth
All the tourists come in June
There's so many you can't move
There's people getting rich today
There's people that they've got to pay
There's lots of places I could go
We should be rocking in the studio
Don't feel like working today, I feel like getting away
Don't feel like driving today, I feel like getting away
Dalston is a wicked place
At weekends it gets off its face
And everybody calls you mate
But do they really want to know?
The drinks machine is running out
And please don't use that ticket touts
The ladies have it all on show
We should be rocking in the studio
Don't feel like working today, I feel like getting away
Don't feel like driving today, I feel like getting away
On my feet for a week thinking nobody cares
And I can't get to sleep thinking nobody shares
Are you taking to me? Get out of the way
We walk on the left and good manners are free
You don't have to pay
You know you just can't see, everything in a day,
I don't know I'm born, I'm only young
I don't have a choice, you know I'm only young
I'm getting older, I'm getting smaller
Everybody tells you, "you've got to walk taller"
You did a war, and now you're poor
And like your friends, you're gonna get it in the end
You've heard it all before, you can't go on much more
It's not like I think:
The old folks are losers, they can't work computers
They die in December time
Can't put it off, you put it on, don't ever stop, it doesn't last long
The younger folks they don't understand
Back in the day, you're gonna get it in the end
You've heard it all before, you can't go on much more
It's not like I think:
The old folks are losers, they can't work computers
They die in December time
Fall down for no reason, the churches are heaving
It's OK to beat the living shit from the drum kit
It's OK to take what you don't have, if you want it
That's alright, that's your way
Water's cold, December, Del Ray
Through those eyes, made me cry
And the summer is forever
It's the endless summer
And it's not about your girlfriend
And it's not about your boyfriend
And I'm not about to lose it over you
Remember what I told ya
The night in California
And I'm all about Pacific Ocean Blue
It's OK to leave your jacket on in the ocean
It's OK to sing the saddest song, Vibrations
Thanks a lot, you can be
What you want, honestly
Magic days, golden nights
And the summer is forever
It's the endless summer
And it's not about your girlfriend
And it's not about your boyfriend
And I'm not about to lose it over you
Remember what I told ya
The night in California
And I'm all about Pacific Ocean Blue
I don't need no explanation
All I got is best intentions
I got fears, too much to mention
You're not there, when I'm scared, terrified
All your friends are famous, you're the man at pulling favours
Is that the best that you could do? Is that the best we can do?
You say it before, and say it again
"You're gonna be massive it's a matter of when"
Is that the best we could do? Do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around, you're getting me down
It's not that you're used to failure, you put the hours in the cheques come later
That's the best that you can do? It's time to take on something new?
You're moving in circles, you're all over LA
You're big with the ladies, so they don't think you're gay
Is that the best you could do? And do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around, you're getting me down
And when it don't work out, you put them on the stand
Its not you're fault you got them eating from your hand
You say the words, and everybody leaves (I'm not "your boy" and that's not the point)
You change your hair, you fully rock a weave
You don't make sense and you don't want to know
You're self defensive, oh-uh
You're getting around, you're getting me down
Is that the best you can do? Do we owe it all to you?
So come out fighting, second's out
Who's the daddy? Well there's no doubt
Got on thing on your brain, you all act the same
But you're alright
'Cos you are from Venus and I am from Mars
You'd like your penis as big as your car
Not so good in the sack - so what, d'ya want your money back?!
Yeah, you're alright
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
I bet you think you know the place
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
You never listen anyway
It's the way that you're scratching your balls when you walk
You wait till I'm watching the football - and then you talk!
You're never wrong, so bring it on
'Cos you're alright
'Cos I are from Venus and you am from Mars
You buy me panties that don't match my bras
Why so long in the bathroom? Baby I have to
Then it's alright
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
I bet you think you know the place
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
You never listen anyway
Smacking you, whacking you, flat out attacking you
Beating you down with my words over you
You're too hot to handle - maybe you're mental
But you're alright
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
I bet you think you know the place
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
6 o'clock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?
To the right there's a sign, telling me which way to go
To the left there's an old man shouting at the radio
The radioooo-oh
Get out, get out, get out, yeah
6 o'clock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?
There's a man with a gold band, but he's got his eye on mine
There a bomb in a sports bag, could go off at any time - at any time!
When my knees don't work, I start to shake
I won't panic, I won't hesitate
It's alright, it's OK
The daylight is that way
We all go the same way
6 O'12 and I'm not well, gonna have a heart attack
Everyone is a bum, I'm gonna get my money back
Over there there's a square, talking to his telephone
Then he stares at my hair and suddenly I'm not alone, I'm not alone!
Get out, get out, get out yeah
Get out, get out, get out!
When my knees don't work, I start to shake
I won't panic, I won't hesitate
It's alright, it's OK
The daylight is that way
It's alright, it's OK
6 o'clock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
6 o'clock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?

I won't panic, I won't hesitate
It's alright, it's OK
The daylight is that way
It's alright, it's OK
It's a warning, that's as far as we go
Warning, that's as far as we go
Save it for the Jury, 'cause I don't care anymore
You're not even worthy
It's a warning, that's as far as we go
Warning, that's as far as we go
I don't even know you, I don't even want to know
Coming back at you, record number two, what a way to start the day
Thinking big enough, with a stronger look
Got no back up plan in case we blow it
It's all the same old stuff, they think it's good enough
"It works" and nobody gets hurt
It happens every time, like anybody minds
They're telling me, "it's just the way it works"
Too much work to do, rocking new improved, keep it in the family
It's not over, 'till it's over anyway
It ain't broke so fix it anyway
Got a second chance and a fresh advance, what a way to start the week
Sack the formula, there's no need to bother
Got no backup plan, so let's not blow it
It's all the same old stuff, they think it's good enough
"It works" and nobody gets hurt
It happens every time, like anybody minds
They're telling me, "it's just the way it works"
It's not over, 'till it's over anyway
Four long years ago
Searching for the snow
We found the Tahoe lakes
Just about the perfect place
Fifty rooms at Heavenly
And the nights at Squaw Valley
Yeah, the trees are pretty wide-
That's where Sonny Bono died
All is quiet on New Year's day,
Think I'll try'n impress my mates
So I jump into the lake
Yeah, I won't do that again!
Every year we say the same,
Try somewhere different for a change
But we jump onto the plane, yeah,
And here we go again!
Naa naa naa (etc.)
The south shore has the lot
And last month Dave Lee Roth,
He did a solo spot
And some German bloke got shot
Every year we say the same
Try somewhere different for a change
But we jump onto the plane, yeah,
And here we go again!
Naa naa naa (etc.)
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh... (etc.)
Naa naa naa (etc.)
Pretty scary how they know you, it depends who you talk to
From the end to the beginning, only happy when we're singing
Smiling for the camera, crazy silly monsters, they think everything is great
Black and white not colour, eight times ten, no bigger, not tonight it ain't
You can try and put the face on, you can talk but it all goes wrong
You can put it in an album, like the "90's never happened"
Everything is easy, but they won't believe me, I think I deserve a say
Beds are made for sharing, but I'm way past caring, not tonight it ain't
Trying to remember, nothing lasts forever, live it before it gets too late
I want to feel important, want to think I'm worth it
Still feeling lame in the end
Sit in, in the evening talking to my robots
Still feel the same in the end
Spend a little time, spend a bit more cash, makes you feel aright
Want to know the truth, I feel the same as you do
Wake up in the morning, be careful what you ask for
It's never gonna do in the end
The telephone is ringing, let 'em do the talking
It's never gonna do in the end
I want to have a girlfriend, want a bigger garden
Still feeling lame in the end
Move to California, sell a million albums
Still feel the same in the end
Everybody knows, better than you know, it makes 'em feel alright
Want to know the truth, feel the same as you do
Wake up in the morning, be careful what you ask for
It's never gonna do in the end
The telephone is ringing, let 'em do the talking
I'm down on the floor, there's a man at the door
He won't let me in 'cause he thinks he's the law
He'll give me a shout when he's figured it out
Gotta pick myself up, what am I waiting for?
It's never enough, yeah it's never too late
I reminded myself that I'm starting again
You're telling me "never", it should be "whenever"
And when the world is swinging, I feel like I don't fit in
Don't even know the way, don't hear a word they say
And all the money making, I just want to have a go, I'm always up on time
Why can't I be just like the people that I know?
I've got what it takes, I'm bang up to date
You know how it is, I'm all over the place
Kicked in the face, I'm backstage, everyone here is half of my age
Standing in line, I'm hitching a ride
I'll give it a try but I don't have the time
You're telling me "never", it should be "whenever"
And when the world is swinging, I feel like I don't fit in
Don't even know the way, don't hear a word they say
And all the money making, I just want to have a go, I'm always up on time
Buy a junk?, delay that moon?, you think we feel the need to prove
That we play the fucking tunes, while you're the one that's fucking you
Now if you'd ever spared a day, at these things that don't fucking go away
You can see that our contract says that we get to do this our own way
Who can't challenge what you do? Don't be punks!
Who can't challenge where to go? Don't be punks!
And when will we change our tune? Don't be punks!
You can't tell 'em when and much! Don't be punks!
Hey we're gonna be around
Hey we're gonna work it out
Hey there's nothing to fight about
Today we're gonna be about
You hardly know me, you say I'm your best friend
Everything's ace, it'll work out in the end
Say that you love us, I don't believe that you want me to stay
You're hoping that I'll go away
I'm gonna be around
Hey I'm gonna work it out
Hey there's plenty to fight about
No way I'm ever going down
You hardly know me, you say I'm your best friend
Everything's ace, it'll work out in the end
Say that you love us, I don't believe that you want me to stay
You're hoping that I'll go away
You follow me here, follow me there
You mess me around like you think that I care
You think that I need you, you think that you own me
You don't think I see you, you don't think you know me
You can tell me all the things you want to say
Sick of you, how old do you think you are?
Never move, you think everything's too far
Telling you you're a fool, but you don't wanna know
Thinking through and let me tell you, you're not even close...yeah I tell ya
I can't stay you're in the way, so listen when I'm talking
It's better than I write, remember every night
Say to me you might, be the one
What kept you, I'm not bothered anymore
Can't place it, get me heading for the door
Foot down, you know I like to look outside
You found it, you found something that you like...yeah I tell ya
I can't stay you're in the, so listen when I'm talking
Tell me when I should, i don't drink in your pub
What makes you think I work round your ohhhhohhhhhhhh
Don't feel bad, don't look back, don't feel bad
Don't feel bad and don't look back, I don't feel bad
Shame on you, you hate everything thats new
Look down your nose at everything I do
You catch on years later, you're not even slow
Can't stay have a good time, now I've gotta go
I can't stay you're in the way, so listen when I'm talking
It's better than I write, remember every night
Say to me I might, when I'm talking
Go look in a book, tell me when I should
Makes you think I would when I'm talking
It's better than I write, remember every night
Got to get out more
Get in the place
Got to work out more
And sort out my face
I've got all the 'zines that tell me what to eat
And I'm tired of being told what to wear on my feet
And I don't have the time to get all worked up
About the year on the street
And it's not my fault, I can find my way
Yeah it's not my fault, there goes another day
I've been here too long, do I have to change
Into what it takes
To make it number one?
I feel out of favour
I don't look like a picture
You think I'm a loser,
But I can see through you
You're running around like you're running the country
I know that you think that you've got one on me
Ear to the ground, like the boy about town
Can't get nothing to fit me
And it's not my fault, I can find my way
Yeah it's not my fault, there goes another day
I've been here too long, do I have to change
Into what it takes
To make it number one?
Got a call from an old friend, used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Sold his house, sold his car
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives 'em a stand-up routine in L.A.
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
I wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
I find it funny, I laugh at people
And don't know why
I sometimes giggle, if there's an earthquake
Where good people die
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
I wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
I'll make the big man, I'll do what I can
I'll suffer for my sins
Speak with a deep voice, listen to metal
So that the good guys never win
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
I wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
Yeah you should see them all
When you sit in on Christmas day
But at six o' clock, on the sixth of June is OK
Got my life under the sun, pay for the things I've done
Pay for my mistakes
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
I wouldn't know the time of year
It's easier to tan down here
House under the ground
House under the ground
House under the ground
And I'd have a house under the ground
All my friends would all come round
Laugh about the ones that got away
I wouldn't know the time of year
My name is Jason, I'll rock your face in, 'cause I've got relations in my band
We like Van Halen and Iron Maiden, I'll do the talking understand?
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Yeah, you know I right, do you want a fight?
Stay up all night, if you've got the time
Any time I want to, Any place I'll need to
I'll be there, yeah I'll be all right
So get out of the kitchen, check out my pigeon
Fed-ex the masses, on my way
Jump on a rock bus, no one can stop us
We're going bonkers today
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Yeah, you know I right, do you want a fight?
Stay up all night, cos we've got the time
And any time I want to, Any place I need to
I'll need to be there, yeah I'll be all right?
We're cheeky monkeys, just like the Bee Gees
We put our words down so they rhyme
We rock in the summer, sleep in the winter
Park where we want to and pay the fine
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Yeah, you know I right, do you want a fight?
Stay up all night, if you've got the time
Any time I want to, Any place I'll need to
I'll be there, yeah I'll be all right?
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!
Cheeky monkey! Cheeky monkey!

Then in the end, that wont make it so

My heads in a spin, the state that I'm in
I need to go now
Probably notice you're probably worth it, just about
Probably notice you're probably worth it, just about
Probably notice you're probably worth it, just about
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
Got a message on my phone
I wasn't keeping count
I know you like to talk in code
I've got you figured out
Nobody said it was easy
Yeah, but you gotta believe me
Because I'm losing out
Yeah, I gotta tell ya
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
What is the chance of making life?
Pick up the panic stations
And I can only sympathize
With your hesitations
You can dance the night away
You can force yourself to stay
When you're easing on the brakes
And taking care of things
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
No one sends letters anymore
That's what we've got computers for
Cleaning the shit up from the floor
That's what I live for
That's what I live for
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Four long years ago, searching for the snow
We found the Tahoe lakes, just about the perfect place
50 Runs at 'Heavenly', and the nights at 'Squaw Valley'
Yeah, the trees are pretty wide, "That's where Sonny bono died"
All is quiet on New Years day, think I'll try and impress my mates
So I jump into the lake, I won't do that again, here we go again....
The south shore has the lot, and last month Dave Lee Roth did a solo spot
And some German bloke got shot, every year we say the same
"Try somewhere different for a change", but we jump on to the plane
You've killed it off
I can't believe the things you're telling me
I hope you're joking
I can't take this seriously
What a stupid question!
What are you on about?
Every time there's a loop hole you can't make me
What a good reaction
I don't know what to say
You got [x7]
me fooled
Take it as a friend
Yeah, like you want one
It's time I smashed up my piggy bank
It's no good 'cos it's made out of concrete
Here I am making pounds to give away
So what are your fivers in advance
What a stupid question!
I don't know the answer
It's not fair
Not oh yeah, yeah you'll make me
I bet you can't stop laughing
I bet your my last hope
You got- [x7] me fooled
Looking back
Almost everything was great
For a second you almost ruined everything
For a while it was too good to be true
Looking back
Almost everything is great
Take it all on board
Almost everything is great
I'm so tired, I need sleep
I'm talking to my pillow case, what's wrong with me?
I make mistakes, but them's the breaks
I'm crying out for anyone to come and rescue me
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you can't
You can't get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why don't you cry about it?
Life's a bitch, and so am I
If you want it bad enough, there's lots of easy ways to die
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you can't
You can't get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why don't you cry about it?
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you can't
You can't get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why don't you, why can't you
So tough when no-one knows you
No homies, so lonely
There's radiation in the air
It's hotter than the time of year
We maybe need to shed a layer and calm down
How about we disappear, leave it all, get out of here
Wash your face and start again, give us a break
And take the blame and leave it
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but I want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
Fire in the air tonight, fire burns behind your eyes
Took you to the dizzy heights and then you calmed down
How about we learn to drink, freaking out and suffering
A couple more, we hit the floor and that's your lot,
I don't recall you keeping
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but I want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
I sit all night to watch you cry, and gut your insides
I sit all night to watch you cry, i got your insides
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but i want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
You got away, you're doing it for me
You got to say, you're starting to bore me
So I bring in me band, and none of you want me
And this in't the first time, and this in't the last time
Sick of him, sick of you (We're equal)
Sick of you, sick of me (We're equal)
Sick of you, I'm sick of all of your people
We're equal, we're equal
You got a day, you got a story
You got a way, and there's always time for me
So I bring in me band, but you ignore me
And this in't the first time, and this in't the last time
Sick of him, sick of you (We're equal)
Sick of you, sick of me (We're equal)
Sick of you, I'm sick of all of your people
We're equal, I wish you would go
Sick of him, sick of you (We're equal)
Sick of you, sick of me (We're equal)
We're equal, we're equal
We're equal, we're equal
You're the man, you got a story
And you got a plan, you don't involve me
You say it's not true, you finally want me
And this in't the first time, and this in't the last time
Sick of him, sick of you (We're equal)
Sick of you, you're sick of me (We're equal)
We're equal, we're equal
We're equal, we're equal
Air on the streets, lights on the trees
Eight days a week, singer's disease
I wanna be where the sun meets the sky
I wanna be there, it's out of your mind
And I believe in the secrets you're keeping
I wanna piece of the air when I breathe in
I wanna be the gold underneath the stream
Having my moment, you know what I mean
Ooooh, it's a blue sky
And the headlights, and the headlines
It's a new day, for a new wave
It's a perfect moment, oh
I'm moving out, for a moment in The Springs
Out of my way, Berlin to L.A.
I wanna stay here and never go home again
I wanna be the grass underneath your feet
I wanna be the shops on your high street
And I believe in the secrets you're keeping
I wanna be your alarm when you sleep in
I wanna be the one you can be around
I wanna be the one who can make you proud
Ooooh, it's a blue sky
And the headlights, and the headlines
It's a new day, for a new wave
It's a perfect moment, oh
I'm moving out, for a moment in The Springs
Get a voice, don't get a doctor
That's your choice, no-one can stop you
I wanna be the one you can be around
I wanna be the one who can make you proud
Got a job, I don't got no pension
In it for love - money's too tight to mention
I wanna be in the rockin'est city
I wanna do what I want if it kills me
Have to say, your home's where you make it
It's OK, I know when you fake it
I wanna be the gum on your train seat
I wanna stand up and walk on my own feet
I wanna be the one you can be around
I wanna be the rock underneath your ground
I wanna be the one who can make you proud
I wanna be the one you can be around
Turn it down! you don't know where you're plugging in
Listen up! cause we're hoping to begin
Turn it up! cause we hope you like lots
Listen up! any second now
Make and like, cheeky monkey grins
Who is the man, who is the man, who is the man?
Why does it take control of you? Because it can
Who cleans the floors, who mends the doors ?
Who wanted more, who wanted more? You wanted more
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, it's not funny
They're making T-shirt money
Who is that girl, who is that girl? Beautiful girl
She doesn't need no makeover, natural curls
She looks so rich, with perfect legs, but she's a bitch
Dad's got the cash, her looks won't last, thick as a brick
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, it's not funny
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
But I don't
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, no money
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
Stuck half up a mountain
With no rope, use shouting
Got no hope, no money
I want the same things
But I don't know what to say
I can't change it anyway
And I wish I had your face
And I wish I had your brains
Two steps, over, real good, Oh yeah
Lurkin', waiting, goes to the edge of pain and
One steps, too far, in my, backyard
You don't, know me, you can, show me
Sorry I let you, sorry I met you
I need to let you know
You can't have everything
Be careful what you think
You can't have everything
You need to let it go
Your souls, enough, lost soul, my nightmare
Closer, closer, so I can always touch you
Can you think of someone else who only likes to plait my hair
So everybody needs to hug you, everyone needs someone else together
Sorry I let you, sorry I met you
I need to let you know
You can't have everything
I don't care what you think
You can't have everything
You need to let it go
Get up, need to let it go
Sorry I let you, sorry I met you
I need to let you know
You can't have everything
I don't care what you think
You can't have everything
You need to let go
Sorry I let you, sorry I met you
I need to let you know
You can't have everything
I don't care what you think
You can't have everything
I can do despair myself, I don't need anyone to tell me.
Ah, you'll go to hell, some people round here say.
It's a right of passage, Its the right to do some (secur...?....)
(...?...) shut up, get off your excuses.
Some people, some people
some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
some people wanna die.
(...?...) c'mon, make up your mind where you're going.
pray for yourself, no one else, don't be slaved.
You stand and miss who you're killin', you hypocrites don't (...?...)
Stand up for yourself you're the human (...kind...) ?
Some people, some people
some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
some people wanna die.
Some people, some people
some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
some people wanna die.
Some people, some people
some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
I bet it's not the first time
I bet it's not the last time that you try
There's not a second wasted
And all I get is flashes in my eye
Don't point that thing at me
And don't you tell me I am just the one
You use your finger, you press the trigger
Know what you're after, your photo finger
The difference it makes to me
Turn and face away, you will go blind
I guess you see right through me
It only takes a minute of your time
You're snapping in the day
Your bedroom's busy way into the night
That's not your finger,
That's not rapid fixer
Your photo finger, it's getting bigger
You didn't think I'd notice,
You're knocking up another eight by ten
You get an hour service,
Yeah, everybody needs it now and then
You're putting on my wig
And then you tell me I'm the only one
You're getting thinner, your photo finger
Hello?
Here they come, out of the sun
You're one of us, you're on the bus
Round and round and upside down
Meet our friends from out of town
Sit down, we're close
Meet me or greet me, promise not to eat me
I know you need me, 'cos I've seen your movie
D'you know that I cried
At the bit where you die?
Take a look, yeah you really should
Don't go down, nobody would
Use the talk bit of the phone
Make it clear you're coming home
They'll never know...
Meet me or greet me, promise not to eat me
I know you need me, 'cos I've seen your movie
D'you know that I cried
At the bit where you die
What I love you can't find
What I love, we do wrong
Where do you go? Flying over, say hello
Waddya you know?
You get what you're after
I don't know why you waste you're time
Waddya you know? (Pa-pa-pa)
What have we got here?
It's OK, I don't know why you waste your time...
Meet me or greet me, promise not to eat me
I know you need me, 'cos I've seen your movie
Meet me or greet me, promise not to eat me
I know you need me, 'cos I've seen your movie
D'you know?
When you died
She leaves her footprints in the snow
She is the greatest thing I know
She is the coolest thing around
And when she walks she shakes the ground
She's got big hands
She's got long legs
She's got beautiful feet
And everything about her seems so wonderful
I wanna touch her just to see if she is real
She is the kind of girl I like
She never comes out in the light
She's got long hair
She's got big feet
She's got white teeth
[Chorus]
She is sasquatch [x20]
She's got a big foot
She's rocking all night
She's got beautiful teeth
[Chorus]
Just to see if she is real
Just to see if she is real
Anyone is anyone
Coulda been a number one
You're better off at ticking off the competition
It's funny how you never tell
Folks are down your doing well
You're better off to cord it off the competition
Second place is not the way
You never check you never gave
You'll never tie another race
It's not a competition
It's not the taking part that counts
But taking on the large amounts
You can't run out of ticket touts
Competition
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
I'm missing that old photograph
Remember when we used to laugh
Kills you when your looking back
It's not a competition
Awarded in the magazines
And everybody needs a dream
I think I know what's wrong with me I'm in the competition
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Hey, yeah, its all about the rock
Its all about the rock
Its all about the rock
Its all about the rock
There's nothing real about your fight
There's nothing in the shit you write
You've got charisma in your hair
The make-up lady put in there.. and it's
One, one plus two is three, can't we get along? (1+2+3+4)x(2+2+3+4)x(2x3)+(2+4) = 666
Bring it on the Monkey Kong, it's just a name they got it wrong
Every second every day, every minute that you waste
You're not everything you seem
Keep on fighting for the right, keep on rocking every night
That's exactly what I mean
It's all gone wrong, they called it Monkey Kong
You're the captain of the team
You're the new king of the scene
You hire a guy to keep you punk
Laugh it up 'cause you don't know you're sunk
One, one plus two is three, can't we get along? (1+2+3+4)x(2+2+3+4)x(2x3)+(2+4) = 666
Bring it on the Monkey Kong, it's just a name they got it wrong
Every second every day, every minute that you waste
You're not everything you seem
Keep on fighting for the right, keep on rocking every night
That's exactly what I mean
It's all gone wrong, they called it Monkey Kong
How high can you try....
Every second every day, every minute that you waste
You're not everything you seem
Keep on fighting for the right, keep on rocking every night
That's exactly what I mean
It don't matter what you say, it won't change it anyway
You're not what you want to be
Every minute that you waste, when you're taking on the place
That's exactly what I mean
Nothing
And nothing's where you're at
When you ain't got something
You'll never get it back
It's coming on like a drug
The universal power of one
But it don't mean nothing
If it all comes undone (uh-huh)
Fly away
If you fly away
You might die today
If you fly
Gimme some love
Gimme some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing
Gimme some love
Gimme some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing
You're left with nothing
And nothing's what you've got
When you ain't got no-one, no-one
You could have had the lot
And if it's over today
You'll never get that thing you had together, no way
You only get it once
Fly away
If you fly, If you fly
Gimme some love
Gimme some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing
Gimme some love
Gimme some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing
We ain't got nothing
A day's a number
Don't remember how you found it
You will never feel the same
And forever have to take
It for granted, don't remember our mistake
We ain't got nothing
A day's a number
Don't remember how you found it
You will never feel the same
And forever have to take
It for granted, don't remember our mistake
Gimme some love
So gimme some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing
Gimme some love
So gimme some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing
Gimme some love
So gimme some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
And we ain't got nothing, nothing
Gimme some love
So gimme some skin
If we ain't got that then we ain't got much
I've got to get up ma, and get in my place
I've got to work out ma, and sort out my face
I've got all 'zines telling me what to eat
And I'm tired of being told what to wear on my feet
And I don't have the time to get all worked up about the year on the street
And it's not my fault, I can find my way, yeah it's not my fault
There goes another day, I've been here too long
Do I have to change into what it takes, yeah make it No.1
I feel out of flavour, I don't look like a picture
You think I'm a loser, but I can see through you
You're running around like you're running the country
I know that you think that you've got one on me
Ear to the ground like a boy about town
Can't get nothing to fit me!
And it's not my fault, I can find my way, yeah it's not my fault
There goes another day, I've been here too long
Do I have to change in to what it takes, yeah make it No.1
Got to call for an old friend who used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Sold his house, sold his car
Bought a ticket to the West coast
Now he gives him 'em a stand-up routine in L.A.
yeah but it's not my fault, I can find my way, yeah it's not my fault
Got to look out for an old friend who used to be real close
Said it couldn't go on the American way
Sold his house, sold his car
Bought a ticket to the West coast
Now he gives 'em a stand-up routine in L.A.
When it rains in Monterey
Reminds me of the choice I made
Make the winter easier to bear
Got the news of Santa Cruz
When all you got you got to lose
Christmas day and no one seems to care
Don't waste your time
Don't lose your mind
It's funny how the weather smells
When all the folks are doing well
Spreading all the sunshine all around
Don't know oceanography
But that's the spot to bury me
When my winter finally comes around
Don't waste your time
Don't lose your mind
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
Rockin' steady in her daddy's car
She's got the stereo and the big guitars
And that's all right (all right)
I got the itch and a restless soul
She's gone with the wind
She's gonna go for broke tonight
And that's all night)
Girl, we've been meant for this
Since we were born
No problems now the coast is clear
It's just the calm before the storm
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't wanna go home
Suzy, Suzy, girl, for cryin' out loud
You got all the right moves
You make me eat my heart out
Nightly and that's all right with me!
No special favors make it out to cash
We'll need it later
Gotta make this moment last (La-ast)
Some folks say `easy come is easy go'
And some folks say
No problems now the coast is clear
Girl, hang on tight and don't let go
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't wanna go home
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't wanna go home
I'm over it, I'm not doing it for you
Fully over it, I'm just doing it for me
Don't do what you're thinking,
Don't do what you like
Don't know if I figured
Though you never know, I might
Before we go to bed
I'm over it, I'm not doing it for you
Fully over it, I'm just doing it for me
Call me what you want
You call me minor threat
I didn't spend a week on it,
You're given what you get
Tell us in the basement
Before you kick it off
Look at your face, you're all over the place
And you don't look happenin' to me
Stuck in your scene and your rock magazine
And your rules on how it should be
Takin' a stand, make you look at my band
And you're giving the finger to me
I'll go where I want to and I'll show what I want to
And I float in circles like this-
I'm over it, I'm not doing it for you
If you were the last girl on the earth with me
We could be all that we wanted to be
You'd be married to me
Yeah, you could not fool me
Just like in the Blue Lagoon
I don't know how you feel
Yeah, you'll be my Brooke Shields and,
And we can make it, yeah
Although you said you'd never,
We get on together
We've got all the time we want
You're not like the other girls
I've seen too many films that
There is a choice to be made
I just don't want you to be lonely
If you were the last girl on the earth with me
We could be all that we wanted to be
Just a quick suggestion
In answer to your question,
What happens when the stocks run low?
Depends on how I feel
You could be my next meal and
Nobody would ever know
I just don't want you to be lonely
If you were the last girl on the earth with me
We could be all that we wanted to be
It's easy to pretend
Why can't we just be friends?
But you can't make up your mind
Why dont you go and take your time
I just don't want you to be lonely
And we could make it, yeah
I just don't want you to be lonely
If you were the last girl on the earth with me
We could be all that we wanted to be
If you were the last girl on the earth with me
Good Idea [x6]
1% is all I hate
The other 99 I rate
Things that make me feel like I'm alive, woah...
Rocky One, summer sun, 10 foot of snow, big theme parks
I said Columbo, easy b-sides, and royalty cheques, happy hours
Problem is we don't have long
The list is longer than the song
Please don't miss the point and say I'm wrong, oh...
Tony Hawk, fat cigars, concrete skate parks, lyric swappin'
Body poppin', Jedi mind tricks, and mountain songs, sell out gigs
Ian Wright and satellite are
Good Idea [x8]
Give me a G-O-O-D
Give me an I-D-E-A
I have fallen down a manhole
Up the river without paddle
I can't stand up on my own feet
Something came along and bit me
You're all over the place
When she wipes that grin off your face
And you don't know what day it is
Don't even know your name
She's getting me off
She's turning me on
I hope she does that to herself, when I am gone
I don't get the situation
We're an overnight sensation
You feel like you could drop
But she's coming ready or not
And you don't know the place to start, you don't know where to stop
She's getting me off
She's turning me on
I hope she does that to herself, when I am gone
She's checking me out
I'm losing the fight, yeah
I'm so retarded for that girl, and that's alright
You're all over the place
When she wipes that grin off your face
And you don't know what day it is
Don't even know your name
She's checking me out
I'm losing the fight
It's so great, I want to stay home every night
She's getting me off
She's turning me on, yeah
I hope she does that to herself, when I am gone
She's checking me out
I'm losing the fight, yeah
I'm so retarded for that girl, and that's alright
She's getting me off
She's turning me on, yeah
I hope she does that to herself, when I am gone
She's checking me out
I'm losing the fight, yeah
I'm so retarded for that girl, and that's alright
She's getting me off
She's turning me on, yeah
I hope she does that to herself, when I am gone
I saw You in a photograph
I saw You and You made me laugh
You couldn’t stop it goin’ on
You know You couldn’t save the day
I hear You on the telephone
I feel You when I’m on my own
You couldn’t stop it goin’ on
You know You couldn’t save the day
Anyway... Yeah...
We’ve all got our problems
Why is something on my mind
I would not wanna worry You
When all You wanna do is have a good time
All You wanna do is have a good time
Everybody’s got their problems
Why is something on my mind
I would not wanna worry You
When all You wanna do is have a good time
All You wanna do is have a good, good time
And if it's any concelation
We never had this conversation
I know You think You’re on a mission
I know You think You’re gonna save the day
So get Your ears on
And in position
I know You think You’re on a mission
I know You think You’re gonna save the day
Anyway... Yeah...
Get back in the days
Get caught in the ways
There will always be somethin’
Always, always
I’m not taking it on
It’s a little too late
And it’s too late, yeah
Come on, come on, all You wanna do is have a...
Come on and I'll show You the good time
Come on, come on, all You wanna do is have a...
In the height of conversation
There’s a sudden situation
On the old and rocky road
There’s a place where no one goes
There’s a statue in the fields
Mother Mary gently kneels
Coffee spilling on the floor
Some say they’ve seen this day before
A thousand miles away for all of you who believe in faith
There’s an evil plan and nation and it’s calling out your name
So give me the drums and the bass line
And give me a bunk and a flashlight
And give me the moon and the room
You can have the night
Smoke to death in the back
That is the place where it’s at
Give me the breach to believe
You can have the night
A thousand miles away for all of you who believe in faith
There’s an evil plan and nation and it’s calling out your name
A thousand miles away for all of you who believe in faith
There’s voices in the air out there, they’re calling near a day
A thousand miles away for all of you who believe in faith
There’s an evil plan and nation and it’s calling out your name
A thousand miles away for all of you who believe in faith
Days are gone
Days are long and you’re
You’re looking older
Over your shoulder
You’re never wrong
Carry on and you’re
You want your baby to want you
Now you’re stuck in a corner, yeah
Your ocean’s drying out
Don’t let your sun go down
Made a start
With the holes in your heart and you’re
You’re feeling much stronger
Your baby she wants you
You’re always the same
You’re always to blame and you’re
You pray for the weekend
Now in at the deep end, yeah
Your ocean’s drying out
Don’t let your sun go down
Sunday mornings
Gone away
They’ll be back someday
Your ocean’s drying out
Don’t let your sun go down
Your ocean’s drying out
Don’t let your sun go down
Sunday mornings
Gone away
They’ll be back someday
Sunday mornings
Gone away
Trying to think, ?
Save it for another day
nna send me to an early grave
Some might say, yeah ?
I don't mind, better time
Looking forward 15 years to go
Never gonna do what i'm told
Even when I'm 40 years old
Gunna have a pool full of rides
Always keep my eye on the time
When i'm 40
I'll still be 20
And that's a promise
I feel alzheimer's
Don't just shout, sort it out
Give me time, get off me first
?, early mornings
Go to work at dawn
Who needs more?, you can talk
All i ever do is talk
I don't mind, better time
Looking forward 15 years to go
Never gunna do what i'm told
Even when i'm 40 years old
Gunna have a pool full of rides
Always keep my eye on the time
When 'm 40
I'll still be 20
And that's a promise
Met a man who said he's got a villa down in Africa
I asked him what he's doing here, the weather sucks, what's wrong with ya?
He said he's got a gun, and that he's on the run
He used to have a life but it went wrong
Girlfriend's in a coma
He's promised to look after her
He's written to her favourite bands
He's hoping for Metallica
It all looks pretty grim
He wishes it were him
He used to have a life but it went wrong
And he said
Hey, what you living for?
Hey, what you looking for?
I'm not gonna take it any more
Is anybody there? Is anybody out?
Is anybody up? Is anybody down?
I don't think I can take it any more
I don't think I can take it any more
She's cruising in her wheelchair
She's dressed up like [a mexican]
She's holding up the traffic and there's gonna be an accident
I bet she lives alone
Is anybody home?
She used to have a life but it went wrong
And she says
Hey, what you living for?
Hey, what you learning for?
I'm not gonna take it any more
Is anybody there? Is anybody out?
Is anybody up? Is anybody down?
I don't think I can take it any more
I don't think I can take it any more
Hey, what you living for?
Hey, what you looking for?
I'm not gonna take it any more
Is anybody there? Is anybody out?
Is anybody up? Is anybody down?
I don't think I can take it any more
And I get frightened
When the phone rings
I leave the blinds closed
I got ten locks on my door
And I'm not waiting
For the weekends
And I'm not waking
For the mornings anymore
My life's a constant upward hill now
My life's a constant downward thrill
Another day
Another ordinary day
Another day
Another ordinary day
And it's on and on forever on
But no one comes around
And you're under where without a care
But no one comes around
And all that money
For your cigarettes
A conversation becomes
Easy when you smoke
I'll kick 'em alright
It's a warning don't forget
A situation is so easy
When you're broke
My life's a constant upward hill now
My life's a constant downward thrill
Another day
Another ordinary day
Another day
Another ordinary day
And it's on and on forever on
But no one comes around
And your under where without a care
But no one comes around
Up above the stairs
That go nowhere
And no one comes around
And you're under where without a care
come on
together
come on come on
6 o'clock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?
To the right there's a sign, telling me which way to go
To the left there's an old man shouting at the radio
The radioooo-oh
Get out, get out, get out, yeah
6 o'clock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?
There's a man with a gold band, but he's got his eye on mine
There a bomb in a sports bag, could go off at any time - at any time!
When my knees don't work, I start to shake
I won't panic, I won't hesitate
It's alright, it's OK
The daylight is that way
We all go the same way
6 O'12 and I'm not well, gonna have a heart attack
Everyone is a bum, I'm gonna get my money back
Over there there's a square, talking to his telephone
Then he stares at my hair and suddenly I'm not alone, I'm not alone!
Get out, get out, get out yeah
Get out, get out, get out!
When my knees don't work, I start to shake
I won't panic, I won't hesitate

Don't have the arms for the deep end,
The walls are thin around me
I don't have the balls for the down side
I don't take it seriously
We are the champions of endings
I know where that shit's gonna lead (yeah)

Listing up you people can't be wrong
Fuck it up punk rockers hear my song
One of us united from the heart or it
Real enough when the spotlights on
Get fists in the air, make out like you care
You give all you got but you don't want to be here
That constant surprise, that look in your eyes
You're the second coming but you ain't mine
Sometimes I look to the sky
I'm a man not a mountain and that's why
Cause you get what you give and I like what I got
And I bet you believe when the crowd roar
Get fists in the air, make out like you care
You give all you got but you don't want to be here
That constant surprise, that look in your eyes
You're the second coming but you ain't mine
You're so cool in other ways when you're recognized
Get fists in the air, make out like you care
You give all you got but you don't want to be here

One, I'm ready for two
Too many, three, four
I'm out before the count, you know that
Five, this work keeps me alive
And don't forget six, seven and eight
You know!
I've only got eight fingers
Won't get any bigger
Never need a trigger
I've told you so
I won't get any taller
Smaller 'cos it's alright
Yeah, we're moving on
Yeah, we're moving on
Yeah, I'm ready for the crowd
Give me some noise

Smaller 'cos it's alright
Whoah, you know...
I've only got eight fingers
Won't get any bigger
Never need a trigger
I've told you so
I won't get any taller
I'm only getting smaller
I'm so tired, I need sleep
I'm talking to my pillow case, what's wrong with me?
I make mistakes, but them's the breaks
I'm crying out for anyone to come and rescue me
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you can't
You can't get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why don't you cry about it?
Life's a bitch, and so am I
If you want it bad enough, there's lots of easy ways to die
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you can't
You can't get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why don't you cry about it?
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you can't
You can't get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why don't you, why can't you
So tough when no-one knows you
No homies, so lonely
First stepped out of the aeroplane
I'd felt like I'd been here before
Took a ????? me down
Put a smile on my face
Felt like I could do more
How ace are buildings!
How big are the blocks
Reminds me of London, stuck in a graveyard
Six foot deep, bleaker street, no one lives out
People smile, never got the time
I look down I can not see the ground
A man who reads the news says there's no crime
There's no one around
There wasn't a sound
There's no one to arrest today
Fell in love with it, don't want to leave it
Don't ever what to go back
Skateboards are cheaper, don't want it bigger
Whole place stops for the winter of '96
-10, 1pm east village time
I laugh at your ?? you bought
Snow, snow, so we walk 70 blocks
On days like this nothing seems to far
Get in shot, I don't ask a lot
The weather was frozen, there wasn't a ????
Fell in love with it, don't want to leave it
Don't ever what to go back
Skateboards are cheaper, don't want it bigger
Whole place stops for the winter of '96
Maybe I could be here a long time
Much longer than I planned to stay
No telling when they'll get the airport open
No telling when i'll get way
Trying to tell us nothing's wrong
Trying to get the fire back on
Never lost a day of fun
Silence in the heightened mass of ??
How ace are buildings!
How big are the blocks
Dirty fingers, please believe us
Everybody dies
Guilty perfect, murder suspect
That was not your crime
You never do nothing (hey) and that's all you do (hey)
You never get lonely cause nobody gets you
Wake up, wake up
Bell tolls for you, bell tolls for you
The weight has been hard on your back
You're wearing well out of respect
Slowly it's dragging you down
I'd never call it that
You're running away and you feel
The voices are way too loud
You never do nothing (hey) and that's all you do (hey)
You never get lonely cause nobody gets you
Wake up, wake up
Bell tolls for you, bell tolls for you
I can be sorry for this
So give me the pain I will swallow it
I can be taller than this
So light up the way, I will grow with it
I can hail Mary's for this
So I can remain always positive
I can be smarter than this
And then I can be on my
Way, way
Falling for it positively
Moment that I saw you in the way
Oh, way, oh, way, oh, way.
You never do nothing and that's all you do
You never get lonely and nobody gets you
Wake up, wake up
Bell tolls for you, bell tolls for you
Wake up, wake up
Bell tolls for you, bell tolls for you
Got no feeling, got no reason
Turn it up, I don't know where you're plugging in
Listen up, yeah we're all set to begin
Turn it up, 'cause we hope you like it lots
Would you really love, any second glance?
Make and like, cheeky monkey grins
Five pretty boys for ten shitty years
Five girls next door, I'm up to my ears
I need a reaction, a new revolution
All over the country, 'cos they took it away
They took it away, it can't be impossible
They're playing the records that they play in hospital
Radio playlist for the terminally ill
You can't tell they're miming 'till you're over the hill
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
If you put it like that, you'll be dead some day
Set the record straight - they took it all away
They took it away, left us with nothing
Second-hand hits and million misses
Nobody means it, they're making up stories
You gotta blame someone, you can't blame the Tories
I blame myself, I want an easy life
Does it really matter, ain't worth no suicide
The bigger they come, the harder they fall
I'm kicking myself for wasting it all
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
If you put it like that, you'll be dead some day
Set the record straight - they took it all away
They took it away, left us with nothing
You suffer the pain of your fingers burning
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
If you put it like that, you'll be dead some day
She is the one next to me when I wake up in the morning
She is the one who listens even though I know i'm boring
When I'm awake when I'm away
She is the one who knows whats going on before i say
I am the one who ruins everything before its started
And everyone's a nice guy you could trust them so good hearted
It gets me low, when I'm alone
I am the one who's blowing all he's got so get me some
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
I don't need no body, cause I am the one
I am the one
I am the punk who thinks that getting drunk is conversation
I'll talk about the duplicate, it ends the complication
I change my ways, just for today
Right now, I need to run, I need to get away
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
I don't need no body, cause I am the one
In the same old situation, make the most of the occasion
And I feel as lame as anyone
There's no answer to it and they can't prove it
And I feel the same as anyone, as anyone
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
And it's no better and its ok
For every body in every way
And it's no better and it's no good
I just don't shape up like I should
Preservation, the only way
For everybody and everyone
For everybody and everyone
For everybody and everyone
We go the distance till there's nowhere left to go
It's complicated, don't you hate what you've become? Oh yeah!
Running out of luck
Trying to keep it punk
You can only let yourself down
Afraid of what you know
A square shape in a round hole
You know, it goes in tight,
Goes in tight
We go the distance till there's nowhere left to go
It's complicated, don't you hate what you've become?
You're running out of time
You're never going nowhere
The best is all behind you
You're spending your cash like a man with no hands
Keepin' it real like your favourite bands
If they don't try
Then we don't buy, we don't buy
It's the distance, it's the distance
It's the distance, the position between me and you
So stand up, so get up
So stand up, so get up
We go the distance till there's nowhere left to go
It's complicated, don't you hate what you've become? Oh yeah! Come on!
It's the distance, it's the distance
It's the distance, the position between me and you
So stand up, so get up
So stand up, so get up
It's the distance, it's the distance
It's the distance, the position between me and you
So stand up, so get up
So stand up, so get up
Yeah, come on!
We go the distance till there's nowhere left to go
It's complicated, don't you hate what you've become? Oh yeah! Come on!
So stand up, so get up
So stand up, so get up
She's over it, she cannot take no more yeah
Don't wanna quit but that's a pretty nice door yeah
I got a bed, it really cost a fortune
I go away and it's too big without you
You've got it good, you know how good we've got it
You've got it bad, you know how bad we've got it
I wouldn't swap it for a job in Starbucks
Wouldn't swap it for a job in Starbucks
Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, I'll miss him when he's gone
You don't know what it is, you don't know what it is yeah
He works on automatic
Mr. Clean but i doubt it
He's got to have his say
Who needs him anyway?
Don't get your kind of music
He lets the others choose it
He thinks you kids are freaks
He wants you on the streets
Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, I'll miss him when he's gone
You don't know what it is, you don't know what it is yeah
Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, I'll miss him when he's gone
You don't know what it does to me
You don't know what it means to me
I take it as far as it goes
(I don't wanna know what I know)
It's too late to talk about it
I ain't changing any of it
Don't listen to us
Don't want your job in Starbucks
Don't want your job in Starbucks
Don't want your job in Starbucks
Don't want your job in Starbucks
Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, you miss it when it's gone
Somethings going on
I don't know what I did
But it worked out fine again
Got you in my song
It sounds like a hit
It's gonna be alright again
We're something to celebrate
The more you love, the more you hate
Who cares about us anyway?
Something's going on
Take some time to graduate
Take some time and don't be late

Oh yeah
So come out fighting, second's out
Who's the daddy? Well there's no doubt
Got one thing on your brain, you all act the same
But you're alright

You'd like your penis as big as your car
Not so good in the sack - so what, d'ya want your money back?!
Yeah, you're alright
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face

You wait till I'm watching the football - and then you talk!
You're never wrong, so bring it on
'Cos you're alright
'Cos I are from Venus and you am from Mars
You buy me panties that don't match my bras
Why so long in the bathroom? Baby I have to
Then it's alright
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
I bet you think you know the place
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
You never listen anyway
Smacking you, whacking you, flat out attacking you
Beating you down with my words over you
You're too hot to handle - maybe you're mental
But you're alright
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
I bet you think you know the place
It's just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know I'm right so shut yer face
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
I think I'm trouble, there's always a couple
Around me wherever I go
They're out there to bug me
I don't think it's funny
Everybody's laughing at me yeah
I wanna go out, but there's no one about
All my friends want a quiet one at home
They're that same age as me
And their husbands to be yeah
Everybody in the building
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
I make a move here, and I make a move there
I've got millions of things on the go
I'll write me the best lines, they're too corny sometimes
Everybody's laughing at me
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
And now when I find her, there's rings on her finger
I'll try every trick in the book
And I've got some more pride, I've got time on my side
Everybody's gone without me yeah
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
All the boys and all the girlfriends sing the sing-a-long
Everybody in the building has to sing the song
She's got her decks and her vodkas
And every man is a faggot
She said
She's got a new ? wells book
She wrote his name on the ?
Instead
Monday, Tuesday, act your age
Wednesday, Thursday, it's the same
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
What were you thinking
What were you doing, yeah?
Walking through your life
I'm pretty caned in Ibiza
None of her friends would believe her
She said
She can't wait for the Notting Hill
And he's already had a belly full
Instead
Monday, Tuesday, it's the same
Wednesday, Thursday, act your age
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
What were you thinking
What were you doing, yeah?
Walking through your life
Oh, oh, oh oh!
You're nearly forty now, have you forgotten how?
You go with whatever's easy, there's nothing left to believe in
It's just a word that you heard on the radio
You're not a mod or a rocker
You've never heard of Nirvana
You're nearly forty now, have you forgotten how?
Like when we used to walk the beach
Monday, Tuesday, act your age
Wednesday, Thursday, it's the same
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
Monday, Tuesday, it's the same
Wednesday, Thursday, act your age
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
Monday, Tuesday, act your age
Wednesday, Thursday, it's the same
As Friday, pretty close to Monday
What were you thinking
Move yourself, you always lived your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself, you are the move you make
Take a chance, win or loser
See yourself, you are the steps you take
You and you - and that's the only way
Shake - shake yourself, you're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart much better than a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say - you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart (Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision they confused me so
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
And don't you hesitate at all
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart (Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart, yes it will
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it, just receive it
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
You're always fighting everyone
You were wroung when you were young
You love to think you're on the run
I had to laugh at all your jokes
Had to tremble 'cos you smoked
But you never ever get my vote, yeah!
You're the ones to run from, or so they say
I remember you back in the day
Did my best to keep out of the way
You kicked it up in school
Singing out of tune
While you're fighting everyone
I've been hanging in the sun
There's a million things I've done
You're the one who took the lead
Me least likely to succeed
Different now don't you agree
You're the ones to run from, or so they say
I remember you back in the day
Did my best to keep out of the way
You kicked it up in school
Singing out of tune
Thought you ruled the world
Singing out of tune
Everybody, keep out of his way
Everybody, keep out of his way
Everybody, keep out of his way
Everybody, keep out of his way
You're the ones to run from, or so they say
I remember you back in the day
Did my best to keep out of the way
You kicked it up in school
Singing out of tune
Everybody knew
Singing out of tune
One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home
One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home
Woke up this morning, heard someone snoring
Knobheads going on about modern life is boring
Bears have their own music, no-one can prove it
Just like I'm a guy of guys
You think I'm gonna move it
One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home
Sum up together, nobody's the wiser
It's life in the sunshine, that's what I would advise her
One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home
One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home
Woooooo!
Yeeeh-haaa!
One day, you'll be on your own
You won't have a shout any more
One day, you'll be in the ground
You're over and out, and
You've missed the last tube home
Not messing about, got a mile of self doubt
Yeah, you're not even close, yeah
Because you're miles away
Another day in bed, sorting out your head
You don't know what you're talking about
You're not right all of the time
It's funny when you're wrong
You're miles away, no-one can stop me
It's far from funny when you're falling over
Yeah, the robot voice, and the peoples choice
Yeah you blink and it goes wrong
Because you're miles away
You're not even warm, human after all
You don't know what you're talking about
You're not right all of the time
It's funny when you're wrong
You're miles away, no-one can stop me
So far from funny when you're falling over
I'm too skint to pay my debtors, uh-oh un-opened letters
Feels like a siege I'm under, how did you get my number?
Oh-oh it's for the better, than on the never ever
I'll get back and back and back and back and back, around we go
You're not right all of the time
It's funny when you're wrong
You're miles away, no-one can stop me
Look what you made me do [x2]
'S Alright, 'S alright
Look what you made me do
'S Alright, 'S alright
Look what you made me do
Double check when there's no-one around,
Never know - I smell my breath again
Will you ever pick me up off the ground
I won't know, and I don't wanna know
I think that I'm in with a chance
And I know, I tell myself again
(Oooh-oooh)
Every bet and I try to break dance and I know
Never see you again
'S Alright 'S alright
Look what you made me do
'S Alright 'S alright
Look what you made me,
Look what you made me do
Get your attention for a second at least
Catch your eye, so I start showing off
(Oooh-oooh)
Bring some breakfast down on Malibu Beach
We can fly, but you don't wanna go
Try to smile without showing my teeth,
Think I'll try to look like I don't care
(Oooh-oooh)
Get the feeling that I thin on my hair
I won't buy - there goes my chance again!
Think when I'm walking, trip when I talk
I know you're laughing.
Look what you made me do
Can't stop moving, embarrass myself
Gave me a red face
Look what you made me do
Lets create some punk rock magic
What have you done?
What have you done?
I don't feel up at all, i lost my shoe
Down the corner got your name
Nothing more could piss me off
Like five nights in a travel lodge
Rock the mic, not turned on
Something tells me, somethings wrong
This wont work, pen and ?
Wish the time would travel faster
I can't wait until the morning
Went downstairs the telly's boring ?
I can't wait until the morning
Pack my bags and then i'm going
Oh you've more brain that Steven Hawkin
Just like him you shut up talking
One more day and then i'm walking
Your people skills are so appauling
All the time i'm so alive
Put me down, yeah you can try
I'll take the book, I'll take the flight
I've got something on my mind
I can't wait until the morning
Went downstairs the telly's boring?
I can't wait until the morning
Pack my bags and then I'm going
What have you done?
What have you done?
We got a human condition, nobody wanted to listen
Just want to get a reaction
Nobody wants to be lonely, I am the one and the only
I make a pleasure to know me
When I'm looking in 'cause you're crying out
We got a human condition not like I need your permission to feel like something you step in
I'm not the bloke in the photos,don't hang around at the right shows
I'm gonna fall when I let go
When I'm looking in. Crying out. Just want to be myself....
When I'm in your face. In your face
Don't know what I came here, don't know what I'm doing. In your face
We got a human condition. Beaten into submission
Just want to get a reaction
I am a child of the eighties. Go on and on if you let me
I hope you never forget me
When I'm looking in. Crying out. Just want to be myself.....
When I'm in your face. In your face
Don't know what I came here for, don't know what i'm doing
Don't want to be lonely, I want you to know me
Don't understand me, take me for granted
Don't know what I'm thinking of, don't know why I care
We got a human condition...
When I'm in your face. In your face
Don't know what I came here, don't know what I'm doing. In your face
When I'm in your face. In your face
Right back at you, record three
Makes you wish that you were me
'Cos we got no job for life
Build 'em up like Frank Lloyd Wright
No two days turn out the same
Only sleeping on the plane
Not exactly Monkey days
C'mon, rock it up, from the back to the front, go!
So get your, so get your ears on
So get your, so get your ears on
'Cos I'm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
I'm serious, so come on
So get your, so get your ears on
So get your, so get your ears on
'Cos I'm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
I'm serious, bring it on!
Banshee wailing from my throat
Only dogs can hear the notes
Be myself to pay the bills
From L.A. to Skillmans Hill
We've done time for stealing shows
There ain't nothing we don't know
Plug us in and watch us go!
C'mon, rock it up, we're all about to jump from the back to the front, go!
So get your, so get your ears on
So get your, so get your ears on
'Cos I'm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
I'm serious, so come on
So get your, so get your ears on
So get your, so get your ears on
'Cos I'm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
I'm serious, bring it on!
Hot, like the desert sky
You're so cool on the inside
You hate being recognised
Going off on outside
Gotta get up, gotta get out, picking it up, gotta get up, gotta get out
Gotta get up, gotta get out, picking it up, gotta get up, gotta get out
Gotta get up, gotta get out, picking it up, gotta get up, gotta get out
Got a fever and I want to clear my lungs!
Coming round for one more go
Way too loud for radio
Mosh pit full of casualties
OAP's get in for free
Time to even out the score
Thought we'd done enough before
Now we're kicking down your door
Come on, rock it up, to the back
Measure twice, cut it once
Clear the room, we're barbequeing up for lunch!
So get your, so get your ears on
So get your, so get your ears on
'Cos I'm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
I'm serious, so come on
So get your, so get your ears on
So get your, so get your ears on
'Cos I'm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
I'm serious, bring it on!
So get your, so get your ears on
So get your, so get your ears on
'Cos I'm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
I'm serious, so come on
So get your, so get your ears on
So get your, so get your ears on
'Cos I'm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
I saw You in a photograph
I saw You and You made me laugh
You couldn’t stop it goin’ on
You know You couldn’t save the day
I hear You on the telephone
I feel You when I’m on my own
You couldn’t stop it goin’ on
You know You couldn’t save the day
Anyway... Yeah...
We’ve all got our problems
Why is something on my mind
I would not wanna worry You
When all You wanna do is have a good time
All You wanna do is have a good time
Everybody’s got their problems
Why is something on my mind
I would not wanna worry You
When all You wanna do is have a good time
All You wanna do is have a good, good time
And if it's any concelation
We never had this conversation
I know You think You’re on a mission
I know You think You’re gonna save the day
So get Your ears on
And in position
I know You think You’re on a mission
I know You think You’re gonna save the day
Anyway... Yeah...
Get back in the days
Get caught in the ways
There will always be somethin’
Always, always
I’m not taking it on
It’s a little too late
And it’s too late, yeah
Come on, come on, all You wanna do is have a...
Come on and I'll show You the good time
Come on, come on, all You wanna do is have a...
Suck it up, we're going down
30 seconds 'till we smash into the ground
The passengers have lost their smiles
Soon their bodies will be wreckage spread for miles
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
Another day, another flight
There's not a chance of going down, but I just might
So this is it, this is goodbye
And I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
Everybody has their day and I guess I'm just the same
But I'm going nowhere
Everybody has their day, never thought it would be this way
And I really don't care
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
We're going down, we're out of sky
It sure helps if you can see the funny side
So this is over and out, this is goodbye
And I'm feeling like I'm gonna lose my mind
I try to reach her, but she's not there
But back home I hope she knows how much I care
I ease the seat back and start to pray
She takes another hit
And left to deal with it
No use denying and she won’t listen, won’t listen
He wants to be alone
But he’s in every home, he’s gotta settle down
She used to give a shit and now she’s eating it
And when her clothes don’t fit, she won’t listen, won’t listen
He pulls her by her hair, he says it’s cause he cares
They’ll never settle down, they’ll never settle down
She’s looking for an easy way to get out
You know she’s gotta get out more
She’s looking for sugar in the snow
We keep on, keep on watching
He takes another shot
It turns him on a lot
She’s everything he’s not, he won’t listen, won’t listen
She’s gonna sort it out, he’s gonna stick around
They’re gonna settle down, they’re gonna settle down
She’s looking for an easy way to get out
You know she’s gotta get out more
She’s looking for sugar in the snow
She keeps on, keeps on
She’s looking for an easy way to get out
You know she’s gotta get out more
She’s looking for sugar in the snow
We keep on, keep on
She’s looking for an easy way to get out
You know she’s gotta get out more
She’s looking for sugar in the snow
She keeps on, keeps on
She’s looking for an easy way to get out
You know she’s gotta get out more
She’s looking for sugar in the snow
Well we did this once before, and we're giving it some more
And it's OK to be as you are you know
It's always five on one and you notice when we're done
That nobody got hurt, you're the same as what you were you know
I've got something for starters, throw it up in the air
And I bet you don't care, we're getting louder
It sounds ok to me on the desk at ICP
Roll the tape 'cos we're rocking album two
And our manager don't mind, 'cos we put all that behind
We've got another bite and you know the time is right to rock for you
I've got something for starters, throw it up in the air
And I bet you don't care, we're getting louder
Hey, it's another day in "A"
I'm proud to be myself 'cause rock me this way
I've got plenty more to say, so let me clear my throat
'cause I'm not cool Britannia
Not getting any younger, they hate me in NME
I don't care where you've been
I don't care for your scene, you make me feel like an amputee
I've got something for starters, throw it up in the air
Yeah yeah yeah I've seen it all
Yeah yeah yeah I've heard it all
J.P wants to rock, not at five o'clock hes not
There's a medal in the kitchen for catching early worms
Yeah yeah yeah you're gonna bet
Yeah yeah you're gonna learn
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Stevie knows that it ain't dead
Yeah Farmer uncle still in bed
M.A.C. was born to rock, there's not a moment that he's not
"A" communication, illin' in my sleep
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I lost count of my sheep
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Never, never looking back, never falling off the track
Never clocking late for work, 'cause rocking pays the bills
So I don't need no education
I don't need any sleep
yeah yeah yeah yeah I never need to set my "series 3"
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
'Cause I don't want to know
Don't bother waking me at 5 in the morning
I like the summer like you like your wife
Live in the "master" for the rest of my life
Every year since I was young
And always here and always fun
Distant places, staying faces
All I want, I understand is it's the summer
Over and over it's summer again
Fills up the sad hole in my head again
Several hours and passing faster
To lift their head down to the sand
Distant places, staying faces
All I want, I understand is it's the summer
And it's with it's flowers, and big huge skies
It gets high for hours, and then it dies
Ocean keeps me up all night
Sunshine makes my hair turn white
You know I hate the winter time
All because there's nothing quite like the summer
And it's with it's flowers, and breeses off shore
It gets high for hours, and then back for more
And it's with it's showers, and big big skies
Keep on keepin' on
Out of there, you're gone
Want it but you're out
Face down stop the count
You don't break for dawn
Keep on keepin' on
No-One stays the same
Coming round again
(coming round again)
Everybody get some air
Don't nobody go nowhere
Everybody hurts a little
Woah-oh woah-oh when they come round
Everybody, it's the end
Don't nobody get the bends
Everybody hurts a little
Woah-oh woah-oh when they come round
Nothin' ever fits
What's the use of it
Never gave you away
Tears on Christmas day
(hey!)
Everybody get some air (Woah-oh)
Don't nobody go nowhere (Woah-oh)
Everybody hurts a little
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, When they come round
Everybody it's the end (Woah-oh)
Don't nobody get the bends (Woah-oh)
Everybody hurts a little
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, When they come round!
Everybody get some air (Woah-oh)
Don't nobody go nowhere (Woah-oh)
Everybody hurts a little
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, When they come round
Everybody it's the end! (Woah-oh)
Don't nobody get the bends (Woah-oh)
Everybody hurts a little
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, When they come round!
When they come round....
When they come round....
All the feeling
Leaving you
Till you left alone inside a hollow shell
Twice repeated
Me then you
Till your left alone not knowing who to blame
But I, I see the handle to the hilt
You know I'm always pulling
But they, they won't stop
They won't stop pushing
I remember
Feeling guilty
Was it something I did?
Or was it what I said?
It's not you, it's not me
The situations telling us to be
Not you, not me
You've all the answers to how people should all live their lives
Well if you show me a wretch who does what he can to survive
Then I'll, I'll show you resistance, you call it a shame
We are the ?
Now deviation is not found in your dictionary
Ask me the question, just how different can equate with free
And I'll, I'll show you the answer, the happiness game
It's rooted in our crime of not being the same
Cause we're not the same
We're born into silence, then let all be,
Lift your anchor then just float astray,
Born into silence, then let it all be
Fortune in silence
Watch it explode
While fragments of ironies examples fly,
And hit the shore,
And tyranny is torn from the podiums,
Where leaders stand, but rule no more.
Pleading with nothing,
Why don't we lecture about something?
Protest the way, we're passive today.
Watch it explode
While it's not impossible for flowers to bloom and grow,
Next to graves, and babies are born in the same buildings where people go,
To pass away, to pass away
Pleading with nothing,
Why don't we lecture about something?
Protest the way, we're passive today.
We live like penguins in the desert,
Why can't we live like tribes?
We live like penguins in the desert,
Why can't we live like tribes?
We're born into silence, then let all be,
Lift your anchor then just float astray,
Born into silence, then let it all be
Fortune in silence
And you can take this however you want
Yeah you can take this however you want
Don't be so so sure this is all it adds up to....you
You're justified
But there's no justice if it's just a lie
No, go and find yourself
You will if you look inside
And I'll never know
(And you never will)
Still I'll never know
(And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers)
And you can take this however you want
Yeah you can take this however you want
Just don't waste your breath unless you can save us
And tell me can you
Can you save us?
Can you save?
Can you save us?
This can't go on without the meaning in the rhyme
Can you save?
Can you save us?
I can't go on out of rhythm with our time
Can you save?
Can you save us?
I can't go on without the meaning in the rhyme
Can you save?
Can you save us?
I can't go on out of rhythm with our time
(Our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops)
Tell me, Can you save us?
(They said we're wasting our lives)
Woa Woa Oh at least we know that if we died
(At least we know, that if we died, We lived with passion
They said we burned so bright)
They said we burned so bright, bright
(Our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops)
(They said we're wasting our lives)
But we're not wasting our lives
(At least we know, that if we died)
(We lived with passion)
And if we die, oh maybe you, maybe you
(They said we burned so bright)
Oh maybe you can save us
(Our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops)
(They said we're wasting our lives)
(Oh at least we know, that if we died, We lived with passion
They said we burned so bright)
(We run and we run)
(We know there's an answer
We know now but we had to find it by ourselves)
(We run and we run)
(We know there's an answer
We know now but we had to find it by ourselves)
When what you want is what you're getting
When want you want is what you're getting
(They're catching onto us)
When what you want is what you're getting
(They're catching onto us)
When what you want is what you're getting
(They're catching onto us)
When what you want is what you're getting
(They're catching onto us)
When what you want is what you're getting
(They're catching onto us)
(All you can do is pray)
When all
(When all you can do is hide)
(Don't be afraid)
(All you can do is pray)
When all
(All you can do is pray)
(Don't be afraid)
They're catching onto us
(All you can do is pray)
When all
(Don't be afraid)
(All you can do is pray)
(Don't be afraid)
(All you can do is pray)
(Don't be afraid)
Oh maybe you can save us
(All you can do is pray)
(Don't be afraid)
When all you can do is hide
(When all you can do is hide)
(Don't be afraid)
(We know there's an answer, we know now but we had to find it by ourselves)
I am an architect of difference, you are just a hole
Oh how I love to hear you beckon and stripped to the bone
But when I come around I come inside and just leave
Because if I had a heart I wouldn't wear it on my fucking sleeve
You know you love it when we “oh oh oh”
I want it dirty, with the lights on, filthy, vile, and obscene
I wanna show you what a bitch I can be
You are an architect of ignorance, with nothing for a soul
Now I'm the only thing inside of you, that you cannot control
And when I'm through with you I'll just move on to the next
Because I packaged it with love but I just used you for the...breath
You know you love it when we “oh oh oh”
I want it dirty, with the lights on, filthy, vile, and obscene
I wanna show you what a bitch I can be
Hate fuck , Hate fuck ,
My little hate fuck , my little hate fuck
Hate fuck , Hate fuck ,
My little hate fuck , my little hate fuck
I am an architect of difference, you are just a hole
Now I'm the only thing inside of you, that you cannot control
And when I'm through with you I'll just move on to the next
Because I packaged it with love but I just used you for the...
You know you love it when we “oh oh oh”
I want it dirty, with the lights on, filthy, vile, and obscene
I wanna show you what a bitch I can be
I fucking love it when we ugh ugh ugh
I want it dirty with the lights off, cumming apart at the seams
A - ich steppe nach vorne, mein Rap ist Enormes,
ich catche dein Ohr mit der technischen Formel des flexenden Bosses.
Der Mack in dem Bizness is' back und zerdrückt dich mit Raps, die zu dick sind.
A.Z. ist der Kingpin, ich plätte wie Binding, yo check it.
BAM – ich kille, wenn ich spitte.
Du schaust zu und hältst die Fresse, wenn ich rippe,
ich fress' dich und deine Scheißclique.
Schlappi, nimm dein' Tele-Tubbie-Rap und geh heim, der Papa ist da.
Komm zum Battle und ich zerreiß' dich vom Feinsten.
Nenn mich AZAD Massaker, denn ich töte den Beat,
bin König im Spiel, ihr Mösen wollt Beef.
Ich zerstöre MCs, greif' jedes Mic in meiner Nähe und verbrenn' dir die Hand.
Ich spucke unendlich viele Rhymes, darin ertränk' ich dich Punk.
Ich werd' euch voller Inbrunst zeigen, ihr verdammten Nieten,
zerplatzt an mir wie kleine Fliegen an der Windschutzscheibe.
Der Chef in dem Scheiß, der wie ein Tanker steht, das Land erbebt,
salutiert der Ein-Mann-Armee!
Refrain:
A – wer geht als Einziger "Gegen den Strom" in dem Scheiß?
A – wer ist am Brennen wie "Napalm", wenn er steppt ans Mic?
A – wer gibt sein "Leben" für HipHop und bringt echten Scheiß?
A – sagt es mit mir, Brüder!
A – was geht ab.
A – wer geht als Einziger "Gegen den Strom" in dem Scheiß?
A – wer ist am Brennen wie "Napalm"“, wenn er steppt ans Mic?
A – wer gibt sein "Leben" für HipHop und bringt echten Scheiß?
A – sagt es mit mir, Leute!
A – was geht ab.
A – der Rambo des Rap, ich bin unzerstörbar.
Meine Tracks und Wörter sind so Burner, ich verwunde meine Hörer.
Geh in Deckung, wenn ich ripp' und Feuer verspeie,
Mohammed Azad in dem Shit, ich bin der treueste Rhymer.
Also wer will steppen? Ich flieg' bei dir ein mit Beats und meinen Reimen.
Besieg' deinen Verein. Du willst Krieg? Du kriegst einen rein!
A – ist wie die Sonne, ich knall' auf deinen Schädel,
du kleiner Hase willst mich fronten,
ich knall' auf deinen Schädel, geh spielen, mein Sohn,
ich bin busy und regiere mein' Thron.
Du willst Soldat spielen, ich exekutiere deinen Flow, yo!
Zieh dir erst deine und dann meine Stimme rein,
ich hab' was Besseres: Fahr dir das Cover meiner zweiten Single rein.
Ich bin viel zu groß für dich, kleiner Mann, du bist leider arm und weich
wie der Gesichtsausdruck von Richard Clayderman.
Gib das Mic ran, Mann. Du hast keine Chance in der Schlacht,
wenn ich brenne und das Feuer mit mein' Worten entfach'.
Refrain
A – ich bring' den Teufel zum Weinen, wie "devil may cry".
Ihr verdammten Toys kommt niemals auf mein' Level, geht heim!
Ich metzel' mit Reimen wie Maximus in Gladiator es tat,
ich tret' in dein' Arsch, stell dich an und ich lege dich lahm.
Der Stealth-Bomber ist schwer bewaffnet und hat dich im Blick,
ich bin zwar nicht auf dei'm Radar, aber dennoch kriegst du mich mit.
Ich ficke dein Genick, als wär' mein Name Ali D., hab' Styles wie Holiday.
Du rappst zwar viel, doch hast keine Qualität,
ich bin 1 A, du Depp willst zu mir steppen? Junge, bleib da!
Ich bin kein Spaß wie Rakim, also verhalt dich ruhig und sei brav.
Dein Schädel zerplatzt, als wär' mein Beat ein Schlag von Ken Shiro.
Du denkst, du gehst ab, aber, yo, ich bin in Fahrt wie El Niño, ich puste dich weg;
zurück zu deiner Frau mit deinen schmusigen Tracks.
Du bist booty und wack, Alter, ich huste dein' Rap.
Ein Move, du bist weg, ich kick' dick bis mein Fuß in dir steckt,
unterschreib' mit Gruß und mei'm Tag. Ey yo, der Ruler is back!
Refrain
A!A-E-I
A-E-I know
I know
A-E-I-O-U
(Oh, you sweet thing)
Yes, A-E, A-E-I
A-E-I-O-U, I owe you nothing
But sometimes
You owe me
You owe me
You owe me-I-E-A-I-E-A! A! A! A!
I'm talkin' to you
When I say
Why do the souls of my old dead dogs still howl at the
sirens?
So call the cops
Say call the fire trucks and call the cops
Call the police
There is something walkin' 'round inside my fleece
I've got thick black stuff under my nails
And I think I kinda like the way it smells
There is food pressed against my gums
In a week or two we'll see what it becomes
So I'll shave and look cute
With the sweat from in my boot
And I'll sneeze the snot from my snoot
And I'll wipe it on the sleeve of my suit
