Jigsaw Puzzle
03:15
|
|||
I was sitting in my good chair
Sequencing the songs
Thought of the beginning
Where it all belongs
Stood up in the attic
Picking in my nose
Waiting for the picture
That never came as close
Then I opened up the wrong door
And tried to get inside
Feeling like I’m guilty
To everything I tried
Working for the city
Making lots of dough
I can never get back
To places that I know
My mind is like a jigsaw puzzle
A puzzle with some pieces missing
Jigsaw puzzle
The pieces of my mind are like a jigsaw puzzle
The missing piece I find don’t fit my jigsaw puzzle
Jigsaw puzzle
Jigsaw puzzle
So the weather has its forecast
But sausages got two
I will never look back
To be in front of you
Got myself a morning
Waiting in the rain
Finally got fed up
Dwelling in the pain
Jigsaw puzzle …
Jigsaw puzzle …

Ricky Builds a House
03:35
|
|||
Ricky builds a house on Saturdays
It’s gonna take a long long while
Ricky builds a house in his own ways
Sometimes it makes the neighbours smile
Ricky doesn’t follow common rules
But he’s got his vision clear
He don’t need to do like all the fools
Making money disappear
Ricky builds a house on Saturdays
In case you didn’t see the plan
Ricky builds a house like no one else
And yet he’s just another man
Ricky doesn’t care what people say
He just do what’s in his head
Ricky builds the house in his own way
Nothing he would do instead
All the people around the world
Struggle hard to climb up the ridge
Ricky don’t care to be that cool
Just to get past the bridge
The only one cool is the fridge
Ricky builds a house on Saturdays
Just because he thinks it’s best
Ricky builds a house through every phase
That’s the way it fits the rest
When the day will come to move inside
Everything at last is done
Ricky’s feeling very satisfied
Feeling like he just has won
When the day will come to move inside
Everything is done at last
Ricky’s feeling very satisfied
Though it didn’t go that fast
Ricky built his house at last
Ricky built his house at last

Blue Pill
03:56
|
|||
On my face there’s a frown
As the hormones slow down
Help is needed every now and then
Thing’s ain’t like they were way back when
I remember the time when life was new
Hormones were rushing through me and you
Every day and every night
We had a ball with the opposing sex
Before we ended up as shivering wrecks
We had a good life it’s plain to see
Me and the lady a special she
Everything was always right
But now it’s clear when we would want to fly
It’s getting harder as the years travel by
Meet the lady for a heavenly thrill
Take advantage of the blue pill
Forget the notion that you’re over the hill
Just be thankful for the blue pill
Meet the lady for …
Just be thankful for the blue pill
When your body won’t do what your body should do
And you wonder why you don’t have a clue
Making love is natural
And getting old another state of mind
So let me have my way if you’d be so kind
Meet the lady for …
Meet the lady for …
Just be thankful for the blue pill
Just be thankful for the blue pill

Hey Mr Doctor
02:28
|

Hey Mr Doctor
Hey Mr Doctor take up your knife
And dig a hole man deep down inside
And what will you find
Hey Mr Doctor give me a pill
And watch me laugh man
When I am ill
And what is the use
Hey Mr Doctor
Travelling in a two man shoe
Laughing all over you you you
Hey Mr Doctor
Travelling in a two man …
Hey Mr Doctor listen to my heaart
And be afraid man when it don`t start
And when I am dead
Hey Mr Doctor what was the use
We are all sheep man
Let`s mend the fuse
I`m sorry to say
Hey Mr Doctor
I`m going away

Warm Is the Sun
04:16
|
|||
Warm is the sun
And warm is my heart about you
Here in a hole I sit here feeling small
No one comes by
Where I am there am I
A girl passes by
Her eyes catch my eye
Where in the world did she go
Where`s the girl
No one is here and my thoughts disappear
To love or to die
The reason is why
I`m walkin` around
I`m walkin` around tonight
Tonight tonight
Warm is the sun
And warm is my heart about you
I don`t know what to do
To once be loved by you
I don`t know what to do for you
Where in the world did ....
I`m walkin` around ....
I don`t know what ...
I don`t know what ...
Warm is the sun
And warm is my heart about you

Begging You
03:31
|
|||
The lady that I woo
Is gone away too long
The lady that is you
I call on in this song
I`m begging you please
Don`t leave me alone
I`m begging you please
Come on home
Since you been out of town
My head is out of mind
my credit`s going down
no goodies there to find
I`m begging you please …
You tell me I can come to you
Whenever I want but not now not now
You tell me I can come to you
Whatever I do I don`t know just how
Whenever is now
Whenever is now
I`m begging you please
Come on home
I`m mad about the dog
Feel sorry for the cat
I`m lost inside the fog
I don`t know where I`m at
I`m begging you please …
You tell me I can come …
Whenever is now
Whenever is now

So Many Songs
03:28
|
|||
I have so many songs
Crowded in my head
Waiting in a line
To come out to the world
I have so many songs
Wanting to be spread
Waiting in the line to be heard
Would you give me a dime if I played you a song
Would I lavish your time if I told you
You must sing along
There are so many songs
Nobody has heard
Waiting to be sung
To come out in the free
There are so many songs
Let’s spread out the word
Let them all be sung constantly
Would you give me a dime …
I have so many songs
Someone has to hear
Wonder where you are
Who will sing in my song
I have so many songs
Someone has ...

Beeps and Blurs
04:08
|
|||
I told you 'bout the Beep Country
But things are getting worse
I'm gonna sue the companies
For all the beeps and blurs
You`re living in your Beep Country
I wonder how you can
Why don`t you tell the company
To send a service man
It`s gotta be something wrong with your TV-set
The sound goes just beep beep
The pictures have blurry spots on them
The spots are beeping blurs
Why must this disperse
I told you 'bout the Beep Country
It has to be a curse
That lingers on your Beep Country
With all the beeps and blurs
Beep beep....
For me this is nothing more than ridiculous
That spreads around the world
A goofy way to do the dispensable
It's hard to see what occurs
When all is beeps and blurs
And soon we all are living there
In spite of his or hers
A world that will be giving care
To all those beeps and blurs

Match-Box Music

Match-box music
Match-box music
Never in my life I`ll lie down dead
Kill me with your knife and eat my bread
I love you
So this music is Match-box music
What kind of system is this
That can`t allow some freedom
Hey, we`re the best
Hey, damn the rest
Can`t you see that we`re hungry
Old papa Marx told the world
About the use of Money
Hey, that was wrong
Hey, shut your song
Can`t you see your dictator
Match-box music
Match-box music
Never criticize what they might say
Don`t you realize you`re dead today
You`re no one
So this music is Match-box music
Don`t say anything bad
You can go too far
Hear the leader say:
Everything for the party
And my car
Match-box music
Match-box music
Never in my life I`ll lie down dead
Kill me with your knife and eat my bread
I love you
So this music is Match-box music
Match-box music
Match-box music
Never criticize what they might say
Don`t you realize you`re dead today
You`re no one
So this music is Match-box music
Match-box music
Match-box music

No Chorus
03:24
|
|||
The ones that came before us
Were waiting for a song
I told them there's no chorus
For them to sing along
They asked me what's the meaning
To make it up this way
I told them I was leaning
Upon myself today
They said, "You only bore us"
I could not prove them wrong
There is no bloody chorus
For them to sing along
They eagerly approached me
To help me with my find
But as these people coached me
I nearly lost my mind
Just looked in a thesaurus
To find the words were gone
And still there is no chorus
For them to sing along
A such important matter
And there's no help at all
As I am growing fatter
Ignoring every call
They said, "If you adore us
You'd make us sing along"
I told them there's no chorus
The trick is to be strong
This song is an illusion
Ignoring all we know
Just jump to the conclusion
That everything will show

My Best Song
03:33
|
|||
Everybody come and hear my song
I hope you think it’s good
Everybody come and sing along
At least that’s what you should
Will you want to come aboard
If I play another chord
When you hear it
I fear it’s off key
In a while it won’t be long
In a while you’ll hear my song
When it’s finished
I’ll sing it for you
I’ll play you my best song and hope you will like it
I’ll play you my best song and if you don’t like it
What can I do
What can I say
Everybody come and hear …
Everybody come and hear …
I’ll play you my best song and hope …
I’ll play you my best song and hope …
What can I do
What can I say
What can I do
What can I say

Pictures From the Past

Pictures from the past
Going through my mind
Memories of you and I
Memories of days gone by
Sneak up from behind
Footprints in the snow
Someone left the bus
Leaving footprints in the snow
Did not see where they would go
Nothing to discuss
Always remember who you are
Don't try to be somebody else
Look at the pictures from the past
Keep them in your mind
Pictures from the past
Going through my mind
When the child was curious
And the parents furious
Leave it all behind
Generation gap
Hard to understand
Older people criticize
What the younger emphasize
And it's out of hand
Always remember who you are...
Pictures from the past
Going through my mind
I will always keep them there
Knowing I will be aware
Of secrets that I find

Solution
08:36
|
|||
I have no intention of being loved by you
There`s no possibility in our time
How could I think you`d do like me
You just think it`s funny to move I see
That pose of yours is it really right
(is it right)
I`ve got a feeling
You`re just letting me crawl behind your light
There`ll be a solution everything will turn out fine for you
(solution for you
it`ll turn out fine for you
solution for you)
Like it used to do
Though some of your friends say I have nothing to say
I know everyone of them has no heart
And since you went away from me
You just think it`s funny to part I see
I think of you all day and night
(you could have been mine girl
it could have been fine girl)
I want you to stay so tight
Here in my arms girl
Girl
That pose of yours …
And now I see everything for me will be bad
You`ve brought with you misery for my mind
I don`t know why you had to leave
All you do make me find I`ll heave
I think of you all day …
I have no intention of being …
That pose of yours …
There`ll be a solution
(solution solution)
