In Ordinary Ways

mr.everybody cannot do things in ordinary ways
he tries to fail but he still suceeds
and it's an awful play
he feels inside out on his own
it's quite sad
sunday sunday is far away in this mind
for a little too long money makes him crazy
and he feels all hollow inside
but sometimes you can see the ghost of what he's been
when the shivers are going down your spine
people don't let him be they expect more from him
when he should really give up and slow down
put him in a house, a very big house
so finally, he'll get peace at last
mr everybody is trapped in his life
no great escape from success
at least in his prime in '99
he deserved some respect

An X-Wing for X-Mas

who doesn't want an x-wing for christmas
i can't relax because i'm falling down
but it's a party day
show me the way, show me the way
coz beams are colliding
i'm out of my depth here
it's so freaking fast
as bad as cosmic jazz
i'm walking on my bed
you scare me off when you turn
yes i've been in the sand
i behaved very nicely
i know you don't mind
you see the good boy i am
i do want to connect
but i can't reach you when you turn
when you turn
but now i know that you are close
but don't look at me now
i don't wanna feel you're sad
see how i try to smile
at least it's a good start, right?
well, you know what it's like

Walk in the Dark

everyone's happy sometimes
but it's time we put ours hands right in the dirt before we move on
we're gonna walk in the dark
and who know who's gotta walk out alive on the other side
don't waste your time on sentiment
forget your friends
we're gonna walk in the dark
why do you feel on your own
don't you see i'm by your side day after day
and i'm here to stay
you don't need them anyway
all they do is talk about their silly lives 'til the end of day
feeling low is proof you're alive
and i like you better this way
see? everything's stark
so walk in the dark

Only When I'm Dead

only when i'm dead, i'll be funny, i'll be better, i'll be happy
only when i'm dead, i'll be nicer, i'll be stronger, i'll be smarter
but for now i go throught this shit
good morning, fucked up world
no one loves you anymore
you're unfunny as can be
you complain about the same old things
guess i'll get on a plane
and crash in the land or sea
only when i'm dead, i'll be better, i'll be nicer, i'll be happy
but for now i go throught this shit

My Mum's Birthday

i give in to the stink inside
i need something to go on
nothing comes, no need to dry my eyes
just a bad day after all
and then i remember your voice
the warmth in your smile keeps on
until the image just pierces a hole
and the stink starts stinking more
thank you for my bank account
you know that i hate to work
i grew up telling you all the time i need some time to grow up
some time to know what i love
some time to know what is wrong with what i'm doing to people with my ability to destroy
feels right to go out
give me something come on
i need something to calm it down right now
give me somehting come on
i was never a good son
