Any Other Day
01:58
|
|||
good evening folks i got something to say
you might not want to hear it but anyway
i wanted to tell you that i had my share
you must concede it's getting us nowhere
yes i admit that sometimes it was fun
but now it's enough coz i got overrun
getting together in a smoking room
praying and singing the circle of doom
is there anything to say?
it's just like any other day
going thousand miles astray
just like any other day
i can't go on like this it's such a mess
it's about time i start looking fro brightness

Leave and Dive
04:31
|
|||
i drive past signs of human life
it seems so silly to stay up here
so silly to try hard to pretend
and to over-estimate the importance of the things you've been missing
i want no one riding shotgun
straight white male in his early 30's
all dressed up with his panel of fears
what could go wrong?
should i believe?
should i dive in the sea?
i could be home with the freaks band
mourning all the things i've been missing
i'm gonna drive towards the lights
that's the only thing i got in sight
millions of dreams go through my head
some of which i don't try to understand
it's been some time since i have paid
attention to what they said
no, i don't care about what they say anymore
stopping the car i try to think of where to go
the radio's not helping me
i feel again like some kind of reject
but they under-estimate the things that i've been missing
i'm gonna show them what i'm made of

Undersea City
02:54
|
|||
i think this must be the place i can feel it coming
there are moistures everyhwere and the sink is stinkin
but here's where i'm gonna live
getting a hold on myself(x3)
in a town undersea
you know that you got it in you
because last year you did it too
you know that you got it in you
for sure i'd rather be dead for the whole world
things are better down there undersea

Crippled Rodeo
02:56
|
|||
we're gonna fight tomorrow night
we're gonna lose, we're gonna lose
but we're gonna fight
it's in our role, we must control
and we end up banging on the door
always got time for a crippled rodeo
think you should really go back to your mum's
overtime for a crippled rodeo
don't expect me to say hi at first glance
overtime for a crippled rodeo
coz we know it always end with a bang
overtime for a crippled rodeo
and to be thrown out and over the fence

Get Over You
03:36
|
|||
are we on or off again?
i'm sick of being placeholding
that's it! i hereby declare
i'm get-get-getting over you
ol' good it's not you it's me
i offered you my help free
let's shake hands and let's agree
i'm get-get-getting over you
you know it's the right way to go
we both had our time
it's been a wonderful ride
but good things all come to an end
so let's not pretend we could be the best of friends
i can't linger here no more
over again just like before
it's too much, it's too hardcore

Eels in the Bucket
03:39

annie likes her new life or so she thinks
lots of space to chill out during the sunny days of summer
but the heat gets to her
she tries to be seen as adequate
putting on a fake smile when she has to
but she hates it
it shouldn't upset her but she can't stand it
so she quit her job for good
they say if it's not broken don't fix it
but if this thing's broken beyond repair
what do you do?
d'you throw it too?
or do you keep fixing it until it breaks for good in your hands
no you'll never know
so annie keeps trying to be adequate
she thinks so little of herself but she's trying hard
she's trying so hard
she tries even harder but she moves among monsters full of grudge
sod them annie you did your best it's enough
stop trying to be number one
annie if you're so tired to be adequate
say so

Heavens No!
03:40
|
|||
the whole country has been caught in a landslide
they are amazed by the fucks they can give
they won't hide what they are keeping deep inside
merry christmas and a happy new year
here comes again, the mob, in numbers
crawling into my eyes, my eyes
their anger is now plain and visible
we won't escape their rage this time
what is that is that is that you say?
heaven's no!
protestations at the station are sure crippling the whole nation
what's your name, sir?
would you like, sir, be a part of these dear slavers?

Metal Man
03:43
|
|||
i can't interact, got chimps on my back
coz i get so holy goly party sad
not feeling so good, cigarette mood
and all i'll ever be is a man made of metal
and i can tell you so
i'm so full of fierce self-confidence
coz i'm freakin robert downey jr. intense
i woke up in a prison for most of my time
buzzing around, freezing the sound of artillery
stellar high on damn pills
how d'you call your daddy tonight?
i'm calling my home everywhere i go
drinking jack and shit in the evening sun
and i can buy my ticket to all the courtesans
consequences on the run
30 secons til the metal get all rusty
your ponytail now belongs to me
you're close to nothing to the likes of me
i don't give a fuck about anything

some new way to fear
coming in with chills
are you sure you want to cling to that old mirage of life?
you have it in you
don't play their dull games
where losing's the same
you fought hard to be on top of that bunch of lazy bums
you have it in you
so ignore their cries and get to work
their problems cannot reach me
and that makes me hard
and the reason why i get my share is because the likes of you are good in prayers
so don't release the tension
and smash them fast
the money is an excuse coz that makes you hard
seeing their tiny eyes full with tears is the solid guarantee to give you the best high
can you tighten the tension?
i'm so mystified
you're so young and still you don't give a shit!
i'm sure we can make room for you at the real top

connie come back to play
you've got to learn what is to share
connie come back and play among your friends
coz you don't know what's ahead
we've got a lot of history
you and me
you have to get ahold of all the things you care about
all the things you've got to believe
it's not so tough but could you stop your humming please?
in the end you'll get what's the hell in here

Better
03:58
|
|||
come on baby it's time to run
gather your things put them in the trunk
you can leave a note if you want
something laid back and nonchalant
"sorry guys we must elope, this life is a slippery slope but something better is awaiting xo"
it's getting better
it's getting getting getting better
it's getting so so so much better
it's getting really very better
it's getting so so so much better
the kids are gone and it's alright
if we don't keep on we will fall through
sorry i broke the water tank
i didn't know your face was blank
guess it was the only time
you didn't act so pantomime
but we're almost there
all the knives are in the air
and something better is awaiting
it's getting better
it's getting getting getting better
it's getting so so so much better
it's getting really very better
it's getting so so so much better
the kids are gone and it's alright
if we don't keep on we will fall through
finally we get something brand new
you're at the end i'm getting near too
you're lying down i get beside you
my tongue is dry and my hands are blue
you'll never know how much i need you
where we're going, i don't have a clue

Let Me Die
07:19
|
|||
i had it all except for fame and fortune
a little bit of love
and some respect
maybe i'm wrong
perhaps it's only my fault
but i'm not strong
never will be
so i keep up the good work and keep laughing endlessly
but i know it's fake
sitting on my own in a damp smelly attic
reminiscing and forgetting
so let me die
enjoiy your days of glory
see you in hell
drinks on me
but we know eveything is not the same as what i see
and i know that i'm too much of a weight for you and me
when i see you suffer my mind just shivers
i love you all
please miss me
