Here we are again with another bunch of soft songs
\nmaybe you are wondering why it took us so long
\nwith a schedule tight, studio time in sight
\nwe have mostly been on touring.
\nInspiration has been hard this time and honestly
\nI’ve had some problems with all these rhymes. <\/p>\n
We’re under stress again, but it has always been that way
\nand once we get it right, then I know it’s there to stay.
\nWe’re under stress again, but we’re used to all that now
\nIt’s always tough at first but somehow we always end up fine. <\/p>\n
Third album, less of ska and not so many fast ones
\nmore of poppy, pushy songs, those that we do best now.
\nNine to five at Unisound in January ’97
\nwe had the greatest time, with Dan as engineer
\nnow the outcome is what you hear. <\/p>\n
If you’re lonely or if you’re happy
\nfeeling swell or feeling blue, we might have a tune for you.
\nIt’s about half of an hour, maybe less or maybe more
\nwhatever it might be it’s still softcore. <\/p>\n
When I am lozin’ must in a conversation
\nit makes me use my imagination
\nstart to think that they’re after me
\n’cause I’m as sore as those monkeys hope.
\nThe chat goes on and I feel smaller,
\nthe guys in front of me they get taller
\nwhen I open my mouth again to tell them something more
\nthey answer me with a hockeyscore. <\/p>\n
Must be strong, can’t be wrong
\nor you’ll be lozin’ must, you’ll be lozin’ trust in yourself.<\/p>\n
Well, I have this girl and I make her crazy
\nwhen I’m gone she’s bored and lazy.
\nI get a kick from pushin’ her
\nbut I’m not sure about how she feels about it.
\nMy favorite hockeyteam are strugglin’
\nit makes my stoamch bubblin’ bad
\ntheir hard time really makes me sad.
\nWe had some fucked up years now it’s time to whipe away those tears. <\/p>\n
It’s been a tough time for me this past year,
\nlots of questions who I am or what I wanna be.
\nI also found some answers the fog is gone.
\nI feel better every day and now the feeling is here to stay. <\/p>\n
Every morning, it’s a new surprise
\ndon’t know who I am before I roll the dice
\nthe options is the only thing that I decide
\nyou see, I live for the moment now
\nI never did before, with all and everything I sweap the floor
\nrandom I am, I never give a damn about what’s gonna happen next
\nmy wife and kids they left me and my job is just a memory
\nbut that’s the kind of price you’ve got to pay
\nif you’re gonna go your own way
\nsolving problems can be done in many ways <\/p>\n
I don’t care, I just roll the dice.
\nIt’s o.k., ’cause I just have to pretend that I am someone else. <\/p>\n
Get rid of all the habits now that’s the plan
\ncome on and try it and you’ll feel grand
\nthe first step is the hardest step to take
\nimagination is the only brake
\njust roll the dice and everything will turn out nice
\nyou can be who you wanna be
\ndo what you wanna do and do it how you like
\nthis is my way of getting through the day, but I still don’t know. <\/p>\n
When I was a kid I thought that I could fly
\nthrew myself out of a window, right out into the sky
\nnow when I am older I know that I could die
\ndie from a depression, I would learn my lesson well. <\/p>\n
Life’s so normal, nothing’s shocking
\nBoring planet, cause no one here is rocking.
\nLife’s so tragic, nothing’s clocking
\nBoring planet cause no one here is rocking hard. <\/p>\n
When I was a kid I thought that I was strong
\nthe girls in school got beaten up by me every day long
\nnow when I am older I know that it was wrong
\nto deal with girls in the first place, cause a broken heart is now the case
\nI’m broken hearted in disgrace. <\/p>\n
It’s a boring planet, we’re just lying to ourselves.
\nIt’s a boring planet, thanks to us and no one else. <\/p>\n
A snake, a fake, he’s lame, he’s in the game
\nfor the money and for the fame
\na spin, a grin, he’s on and then we yawn
\nsteals the credit then he’s gone
\nhe’s the man with a plan and first he’ll seem helpfull
\nto make sure that you’re on the hook
\nhe’s so full of bull and he sure will pull
\nsome strings to make things go his way
\neverything will go his way. <\/p>\n
We’re in the monkey biz
\nthe monkey boogie is nothing new
\nand he’ll be doin’ the dance with you. <\/p>\n
Humble, mumble, stumble don’t think so
\nthat is not the way to go
\nconnect, collect, correct, what did you expect?
\nDid you think that he seriously cares for you?
\nDo the monkey boogie, orangu-tango, baboon! <\/p>\n
I’m one year older now since last time I saw you
\nIn case you wanna know, I’m about to say what I’m up to
\nFirst of all I’m a sluggard movin’ slow in a clumsy way
\nSome peace of mind is what I want, but that will be the day
\nI’ve been going with the flow for too long now, this must end
\nRunning ’round in circles, I’ve been so far away from myself
\nSearching for the energy and the time to make a change in my life
\nInstead of watching it pass by, get something done while I’m alive. <\/p>\n
I’m twenty two, don’t know what I’m supposed to do
\nOr how to be, to get some more out of me.
\nI’m twenty two, so far away from all my dreams
\nI’m twenty two, feeling blue. <\/p>\n
I try to activate myself the best I can
\nSo that boredom won’t catch up with me, I’ve my daily plan
\nWake up late, then rehearse a bit with the band, I guess it’s cool?
\nLater when I’m home again I boil a note or two
\nThen I go to bed that’s what I do. <\/p>\n
Afraid that I will be weak forever
\nI can’t stay in this shape any longer
\nMy life’s just another cliche.<\/p>\n
I’ve been going with the flow for too long now, this must end
\nRunning ’round in circles, I’ve been so far away from myself
\nI try to activate myself the best I can
\nSo that boredom won’t catch up with me, I’ve my daily plan <\/p>\n
Can you pass me the black gold?
\nI wanna know how many shirts got sold
\nI’m gonna beat you in soccer
\nwe bought our Juve-shirts in an Italian footlocker
\nWe saw the real world today
\npoor swedes were afraid
\nleft France behind us broke some fingers of Magnus’. <\/p>\n
Like it or not, I always say that I’d rather go home
\nlike it or not, this time I never wanted to go home <\/p>\n
Ingredients is a big thing
\nwe crown Stavanger as king
\nwanna see more of Moulder
\nat night the bus is getting colder
\nwe saw the real world today
\ndid you know it’s in Brussels?
\nNow we hope that you missed us
\nwe’ll be home to X-mas. <\/p>\n
Wanna see you again someday soon, it’d be great
\nyou’re totally o.k.
\nIt’s over now, it’s December
\nlike a friend once said, it’s times to remember. <\/p>\n
Trendy winds are blowing thru my hair
\nthe punk elite are checking everything I wear
\nI’m tired of their endless whine, why can’t they mind their own?
\ncause what I am is what I will be. <\/p>\n
Don’t need you or your crew
\nto tell me what to think or do
\neveryday when you try to waste my time
\nI waste a rhyme. <\/p>\n
Sometimes I can’t understand what’s wrong
\ncause this scene is filled with people who’s bad and nong
\nyou’re an idiot and loser if you go their way
\ncause you don’t need no one-track crew now. <\/p>\n
Sometimes I can’t understand what’s wrong
\nto all you suckers we dedicate this song. <\/p>\n
I remember when this was different than a job
\nfor friendship and for fun, in harmony we got it done
\nwe had a good scene going in our hometown Pennybride
\nmost of those bands are gone, it can be tough to stand alone
\nso many times it has been shown. <\/p>\n
But it looks good, just as it should
\nfeels good, not for me I can’t stay that yet
\nnow when you’re filled up with regret
\nif I felt good today you know what I would stay. <\/p>\n
You were my girl until this day
\nI can’t understand you’re not anymore
\nmore than two years shared with you
\nall the things that we’ve been through.
\nIn my memory forever, you’ll be there untill I die
\nand though this is the end, I love you more than as a friend
\ndoesn’t matter it’s the end. <\/p>\n
Everything has it’s time and I will sure have mine
\nso many things that we start almost tear us apart, eventually
\neveryone has their own way they got to go
\nso many things that we start with people who breakes our heart
\none time, then do the same to another one. <\/p>\n
Looking back in anger, looking back with joy and laughs
\ndon’t ask me all those questions, cause I don’t have the answers now
\nI tried to hold back all my thoughts and all my dreams
\njust to make things better, I was using myself past my means. <\/p>\n
But all those days are gone
\nand I can’t find the path that I should follow
\nI’m walking unknown land
\nmile after mile I search the way back to my mind
\nand I cannot believe how hard it is to find
\nwhen I’m down. <\/p>\n
I used to make things easy, I used to be a happy guy
\nbut now things seem so different, that I can’t even play the game
\nI got to try to find the way thru all this now
\nso what I need now, is someone to read the map cause I don’t know how. <\/p>\n
I feel ashamed and I’m to blame
\ncause I tried to be, I tried to see things from my side
\nand I also bleed, I also need some space
\nit’s time to close this case. <\/p>\n
The joy and the pain, it’s all in the game
\nBut right now the joy’s far away
\nWe’re gonna take it back to how it was before now
\nSo what if we’re last, so what if we’re gone
\nYou’re waiting for that day, but I know it won’t come
\nWe’ve reached the bottom and now we’re just looking forward.<\/p>\n
For twelve years I’ve been down
\nBut I’m not whining, I’m still smiling
\nAnd I’m still around every night.<\/p>\n
Every Sunday or Wednesday night I’ll be there
\nWith all the other folks biting those nails
\nAnd some of us I know that we would die for you
\nAnd maybe you think it’s just cause I have
\nMy smartcard but forget that pal,
\nTell you what we’re in it and we’re in it to win it.<\/p>\n
For twelve years I’ve been down
\nBut I’m not whining, I’m still smiling
\nAnd I’m still around every night.<\/p>\n
So many hours spent in that building
\nAnd all the memories divine
\nJust a few more seasons, then we’ll be back
\nReady to attack, ready to take on the top again.<\/p>\n
So what if we’re last?
\nSo what if we’re last today?
\nSo what if we’re last?
\nWe can’t stay last forever.<\/p>\n
For twelve years I’ve been down
\nBut I’m not whining, I’m still smiling
\nAnd I’m still around every night. <\/p>\n
I don’t know what to say, cause I don’t feel that good today
\nI don’t know what to do, I left my mind in all that glue
\nif I try to think or if I do something about this mess
\nthen I will find myself in a situation I can’t deal with now
\nmy head it start to pound
\nmy thoughts are flying around
\nand my body hits the ground. <\/p>\n
I can’t hear a sound and I feel fine
\nI can see what’s wrong
\nI’m alone and strong. <\/p>\n
I keep my eyes on you, just to make myself sure
\nI don’t know why I care, cause it makes me feel so poor
\nand I must try to leave all this stuff behind me now
\nI feel fine today, but tomorrow, I don’t know what I will say
\ncause my head will start to pound
\nand my thoughts will fly around
\nwhen my body hits the ground. <\/p>\n
Then I won’t hear a sound and I feel fine
\nI can see what’s wrong
\nI’m alone and strong. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
