Pain
03:37
|
|||
It’s aching
It’s aching everywhere
It’s aching
Pain is my middle name
It’s aching
My body is in despair
It’s aching
Pain is the usual game
Pain
Pain
Pain
Pain is my middle name
It’s aching
My fitness is down the drain
It’s aching
Pain is a lousy friend
It’s aching
Will I ever feel no pain
It’s aching
Pain gets me in the end
Pain
Pain
Pain
Pain is my middle name
Pain is my middle name
Pain is my middle name
Pain is my middle name

Undercover Song
04:32
|
|||
This ain't what it seems to be
This is one undercover song
I'll faint if it ceases to be
One more undercover song
I don't say what I do
I don't do what I say
And my undercover song
Is well on the way
Well on the way
If you don’t understand
And think it’s rather pointless
With this undercover song
You’re probably right
You may be right
The meaning of it all
Is hidden in the vault
But this undercover song
Is not at my fault
No not my fault
I don’t feel what I do
I don’t do what I feel
And my undercover song
Is nothing but real
No it’s not real
This ain't what it seems …

Four-Line Swamp
04:10
|
|||
I tried to write a good song
But I got stuck in the four-line swamp
Yes I thought it'd be a good song
But I got stuck in the four-line swamp
So I turned to make it better
To get out of the four-line swamp
So there I saw this person
Celebrity they said
And everyone adores him
It's going to his head
Believing he is special
He lives by his own law
His mind is very little
The tiniest you saw
He played an endless solo
His fingers moved too fast
Forgetting that emotions
Were never gonna last
The notes that he was playing
What did they really mean
The essence of it all is
The silence in between
I tried to write a good song…
They told her she was skinny
Her diet was too mean
They didn't get her notion
To be a beauty queen
She had this misconception
That she had grown too fat
Cos all the magazines said
That skinny's where it's at
I tried to write a good song…
Yes I turned to make it better
To get out of the four-line swamp

Head of Affairs
03:18
|
|||
I am the credit card holder
And she is the head of affairs
My point is that I am much older
And that is the truth I once told her
But she stays on top of the stairs
She is the head of affairs
I’ve got fitness like a dime
I’m tired all the time
My batteries are low
I’d be happy to recharge
I don’t know if I’m a jerk
That doesn’t want to work
I try to let her know
That my credit's not that large
I am the credit card holder …
I don’t bother when to shave
I’m working like a slave
I try to make ends meet
I’d be happy to be rich
Do you think I disapprove
When she will make her move
My lady is so sweet
I will never make a switch
I am the credit card holder …
I am the credit card holder …
She is the head of affairs
She is the head of affairs

Jam on Fingers
03:41
|
|||
You caught me off guard
With jam on my fingers
I know it looks suspicious
But I wasn’t there
No I wasn’t there
The taste is so sweet
From jam on my fingers
You say you don’t believe me
But I wasn’t there
No I wasn’t there
You’re asking all those questions
It’s hard to find an answer
Some words that will convince you
You say it’s hard to believe someone
With jam on fingers
The taste is so sweet …
You caught me off guard …
I try another answer
And hope you will believe me
My facts are not convincing
You say you can’t trust a person
With jam on fingers
You caught me off guard …
The taste is so sweet …
I wasn’t there

The Warmth of You
03:15
|
|||
Lying here beside you
Waiting for the morning
I just wanna feel the warmth of you
What if it’s a dream now
I don’t wanna wake up
I just wanna feel the warmth of you
Everything is said
And now it’s time for bed
I’m longing for the warmth of you
Days are going by
And you are by my side
So I can feel the warmth of you
All of those days rolling on by
Rolling for you and me
All of those days you’re by my side
Being my honeybee
I don’t wanna leave you
I don’t wanna get up
I just wanna feel the warmth of you
What if it’s a dream …
Everything is said …
All of those days …
Every day I’m waiting
For the night to come by
I just wanna feel the warmth of you
Lullaby at bedtime
So we fall asleep soon
I just wanna feel the warmth of you
Everything is said …
All of those days …
I don’t wanna leave …
What if it’s a dream …
Everything is said …

Heroes Pass Away
05:11
|
|||
When people die that never died before
And your world is falling upside down
You wonder why
The sand goes off the shore
And the heroes all ride out of town
All your heroes
When you are young
You live inside your fantasy
Of things and people that you see
You look up to your own heroes
When you are young
You dream about a life so sweet
The world is lying at your feet
And you don`t want to face the day
When your heroes pass away
The heroes pass away
All things must pass
And you will have to realize
That life is not like paradise
That`s in spite of all your heroes
All things must pass
Although you`d like a different way
Your standards are there to betray
And you don`t want to...
Then comes the sun
And life will have to go ahead
In spite of all who still are dead
Some of which would be your heroes
Then comes the sun
So listen to the angels sing
We`re all a part of everything
And so we`ll have to face the day
When the heroes pass away
Heroes pass away
Yes the heroes pass away
The heroes pass away
All the heroes pass away
The heroes pass away

Lady's Got Coffee
03:12
|
|||
Lady’s got coffee
As of her request
Lady’s got coffee
Doing what is best
Lady’s got coffee of the right flavor
But will it make the test
Lady’s got coffee
Like she does prefer
Lady’s got coffee
That is right for her
Lady’s got coffee of the right flavor
And she don’ want to stir
Lady’s got coffee
When she comes to mind
Lady’s got coffee
With a touch of cream
Lady’s got coffee
Waiting out the steam
Lady’s got coffee of the right flavor
When she wakes from her dream
Lady’s got coffee
And it’s getting cold
Lady’s got coffee
That she’s being told
Lady’s got coffee of the right flavor
While she’s growing old
Lady’s got coffee
When she comes to mind
Lady’s got coffee
When she comes to mind

Pokerface
02:34
|
|||
Diamonds are trump and you know
You just have to play it low
Pokerface
Where did you run
Can`t you see
You just have to be like me
Don`t you worry `bout the game
Won or lost it`s just the same
Don`t throw your cards
Please don`t go
You don`t know what i can show
Pokerface
It`s not too hard
Come and stay
You don`t have to run away
Don`t you know our happy game
Happiness shall be the name
Don`t know what to do `bout you
Run for your life
It`s no good
Your head isn`t made of wood
Poker face
Lay down your knife
Look around from heaven to the ground
Everything is looking fine
Do you wanna lose your time
Don`t know what to do `bout you
What songs are sung
Do you know you just have to sing it low
Pokerface
Where did you run
Can`t you see
You just have to be like me
Don`t you worry `bout the game
Won or lost it`s just the same

Green Screen
03:30
|
|||
You treat me like a green screen
Always in the background
You treat me like a green screen
At least that’s what I have found
You treat me like a green screen
Always in the background
You treat me like a green screen
At least that’s something I have found
You treat me like a green …
I’ve been living inside this man for many years
Who do you think knows him best
Please forgive me
If I should cause too many tears
Telling the truth and stand the test
I know me
Don’t you see
All you say
Is different
From what I’m used to hear
I wonder why it’s so
What is it that you know
I am me
But who are you
Who tells me what to do
You say what I should feel
And if something is real
You treat me like a green …
I’ve been thinking but it’s so hard to find the clue
Please let me know what’s the gem
Just like winking
All you could say was never true
Who is to trust
You or them
Don’t you know
Where to go
You treat me like a green screen

Catch a Death
03:07
|
|||
I lost myself and the money
And I learn that my mom was a fake
I lost the milk and the honey
It was all a terrible mistake
I lost my mind for no reason
And I talked myself into to trance
I lost myself for the season
It was all a terrible romance
And I thought I could hold my breath
For a while it`s OK
I could smile in a way
Then I knew I could catch a death
And the smile went away
In a while no delay
I lost my sense of forgiving
And I see no ash in the tray
I lost the dead and the living
It was all too good to betray
I lost myself and the money
But the night will always be day
I lost the milk and the honey
It`s not so bad as they say
I mean yes and no anyway
I mean yes and no anyway
I mean yes and no anyway

Scratch My Back
03:46
|
|||
I´ll scratch your back if you scratch mine
Success will follow in our time
Scratch my back let’s make a deal
The path to follow will make it real
Scratch my back
I’ll scratch your back
Scratch my back
I’ll scratch your back
Scratch my back
Scratch my back
I´ll scratch your back if you scratch mine
If you will trust me that feels fine
Scratch my back it’s good for you
You can rely on I’ll do it too
Scratch my back…
But when I’ve scratched so much
That my fingers are worn out
The days are filled with stress
My mind is full of doubt
What can I do
What shall I say
Scratch my back…
Scratch my back…
Scratch my back

Hised
03:34
|

Helioscopes and index jam
Streaks of blood in hectograms
For rent
I am sweet
Indescribe ables from hell
Coolish words and feeling well
Today
See me sway
Seducing legs of women follow you
But not above the knee
I am free
That is everything there`s to say
Exciting clothes they have
But you`ll never see what`s there behind
You are blind
That is everything there`s to say
Dictionary honks of hoy
Renegades and friendly toys
Hello
Hello
Hello
I won`t go
That is everything there`s to say
That is everything there`s to say
