Rejected

things are not going according to plan
I am stuck in the middle of a song
all I am knowing it`s all out of hand
where`s the luck I`ve been waiting for so long
no one gives credits I know I deserve
and the words don`t come easy anymore
I never said it I don`t have the nerve
and the birds leave their droppings on my floor
I`ve been rejected
not wanted in the game
neglected
you`ll make it just the same
down in the dust-bin
you put away my mind
no trust in you is there to find
I bet your def and blind
what`s the use in doing all the things I do
what`s the use in knowing all the things I know
what`s the use in anything
I have to make up with things that I find
all around me so that is what I do
how can I break up the lock in your mind
so you`re bound to accept my feelings too
I`ve been rejected....
do you know how it feels
when no one turns your wheels
and Mr Man is the one that deals
and time wound all your heels
I`ve been rejected....
I`ve been rejected....
I`ve been rejected

Stupid Record Company

I`ve been writing songs for ninety years
I`ve been writing songs of love and fears
and I`m sending my work to the Limiteds
and they say no no no
I`ve been writing songs both day and night
I`ve been writing songs of wrong and right
and I`m sending my work
to the stupid record companies
stupid record company
why don`t you want my music
stupid record company
why
I say why don`t you use it
I`ve been writing songs of life and death
I`ve been writing songs that take away your breath
I`ve been writing sad songs
but they don`t want my music
stupid record company
I say why don`t you want to use it
stupid record company
why don`t you …
I`ve been writing songs of life …
stupid record company
it`s a drag man
stupid record company
I`m a sad man
booo

Inside a Box

don`t try to place me inside a box
don`t try to place me inside a box
I`ll always find out how to get out
you`ll never catch me inside a box
don`t ever place me inside a box
don`t ever place me inside a box
I`ll disappoint you next time around
you can`t direct me inside a box
you think you know me based on the sight
you think I show me and that it`s right
but you know nothing I tell you now
you don`t know something `bout when and how
but still you place me inside a box
but still you place me inside a box
don`t try to place me inside….
you think it`s allright to call my name
you think we`re so tight but it`s a shame
`cos you know nothing I told you so
you don`t know something why don`t you go
don`t try to place me inside a box
don`t try to place me inside a box
don`t ever place me inside….

When time slips out the window
And I`m just staying indoors
I`m losing
I`m losing
So if I could try what `ve been missing
Don`t cry if you are listening
I`m only doin` nothing
No harm done
When life slips through my fingers
And I won`t be no singer
I`m losing
I`m losing
Don`t you know that I could have been someone
If I hadn`t been no one
I`m no one doin` nothing
No harm done
I`m sitting in the sofa with the one I adore
She`s sleeping at the telly as so many times before
I wonder will the dream come alive
I wonder will the dream come alive
As I`m sitting in the sofa with the one I adore
She`s sleeping at the telly as so many times before
I wonder will the dream come alive
I wonder will the dream come alive
I wonder will the dream come alive

Mr Krax Sweden
The man behind Mr Krax is the Swedish songwriter and producer Pierre Blom. He grew up and started to make music in the 60s
inspired by the breakthrough of the Beatles. Combining that initial music style with lots of other styles he has created almost a genre of his own.
Having written more than 1100 songs the aim is to let the world hear as many as possible before the Bogeyman hits!
