all you ever do

I listen to your problems once again
You got me working late as your best friend
You don't need me, take a break and then
Surely you come running back in the end

Chorus: That's all you ever do
I'll run away from you

Back to square one and how do you do?
I'm sick and fuckin' tired, how about you?
You feel alright, but you don't have a clue
You'll never know how much I dislike you

Chorus

You bitch about your friends to anyone
You make me wanna puke & shit & run
For your birth I'm giving you a gun
Just blow your head of and the world will be more fun

Chorus

Bridge

Chorus galore: That's all you ever do
I'll run away from you
I might be telling you I'll bitch about you, too

always rebecca

Lead singer in a band, he plays the keyboard too.
He's got a really bittersweet voice, shiny gold necklace too.

Long curly hair, it's glossy everywhere, he's got his way with her.

She comes around the garage, brings him strawberry juice.
A mellow drunk look in his eyes, and Becca's heart's on a loose.

Long curly hair, it's glossy everywhere, he's got his way with her.
Cause all of the fears and bittersweet tears, has disappeared on her.

He wants her in his sack; he wants to have some more.
He writes a cosy love song for her, but Becca's not a whore...

Chorus: It was always Rebecca, always on his mind. It was always Rebecca, so beautiful and innocent and fine.

confirmation

Punch me in my face, tell me that you love me
Kick me in the groin, tell me that you care
When I see that smile, I can't help it
Thinking, fearing, believing the end is near
It's been some time since you said you loved me
Can not remember last time you were angry
No feelings shown, tell me why don't you ever
We can't go on like this forever
Long time ago we were sure about it, two years ago we knew that we wouldn't quit But what will happen if this takes a bad turn
What will happen if you won't let your love burn?

Chorus: Want it to be like before, want you standing in my door
Telling me how much you missed me since last week
Telling me were doing fine, that we'll be one for a long time
Give me confirmation, or I am gonna freak

Is this my holiday then why am I working?
Is this my weekend then why do I feel so sad?
Is that your real face or are you just jerkin?
We can't go on like this, we're gonna be sad
I won't go crawling on my sore knees, begging 'pretty baby, listen please..."
Will it be now or will it be never, my "beer-bong-brain" doesn't make me see clearer
A three, four or five letter word, it doesn't matter as long as I'm heard
So you can tell me what we can achieve
You can tell me that I can believe

Chorus

golden roy

I have to dress really nice to go out with you.
I have too style my hair really slick and smooth.
I have to be polite, hold the door for you.
I have to keep all of my cool & charm to.

Chorus: When we go out, I have to say nice things
About your looks and about your dress
I have to insist that your ass doesn't look fat
and make sure that your face is not a mess.

I'm gonna be on time or I'll blow it all up.
And if you put me through some test, I won't fuck up.
I'm gonna drive real nice, but not too slow.
I won't sing or whistle or fart as we go.

Chorus: When we get in, I'm gonna say nice things
About you looks, and about your dress.
I'm gonna insist that your ass doesn't look fat
and I'll make sure that your face is not a mess.

Bridge: Every time you go out with me
I treat you like a queen.
If only I could make you see,
that you are perfect for me.

hi there! (what's new?)

Almost five years and you haven't changed in a single way
Cause I know every word you'll say
When I'm up here again, hanging out with my friends
Call me rip-off or dork or dweeb, I don't mind it at all
You're the reason for your own fall
You're the pain in your ass

Chorus: Grow up and please chill out, this is not what it was
I don't expect anything to be nice between us
Even though you're 21 and your life is a mess
It won't help to put me down
Though you're trying your best, please rest

Mr. Know It All, knows it all best when he's with his friends
You know ten ways of shaking hands
You got the right things to do, to make them love you
Go ahead and call me a geek, they will all think the same
Cause they don't want to be too lame,
With a cool friend like you

Chorus

in a year or two

Do you still feel sorry?
Not for me, but for yourself
Are you still telling stories
Blaming everyone else?
Is your mind still bitter?
Are you still staying home at night?
Do all your conversations
Feel like unfair fights?

Chorus: Maybe in a year or two (five) you'll see
Where it went wrong, and who's to blame
It all started back in '83, you made your choice and felt no shame
So will it ever change, or will it all stay the same?

Do you have a hard time?
Or do you even bother to care?
Is your conscience clean?
I bet you feel it's all so unfair
Wake up, smell the coffee
Realise that you've done wrong
You are still complaining
You won't give up, I'm saying so long

Chorus

julianne

Such a pretty girl has come to rock my world
As pretty as a perfect pearl, makes my heart scream and hurl

Pre- chorus

Her name is Julianne, she's hotter than sunburnt sand
I'll tell it if I can find the guts to be a man

Chorus: Julianne, let me take your hand
I won't just pretend to be a friend
Julianne, let me hold you near
I won't disappear, I'll be right here
'Cause Julianne I care, oh Julianne, do you care?

Bridge: Can you believe my heart aches for you?
How long will it be till I see you?
Julianne, let me be your man
I'll be better than Charlie, Billy, Craig or Glen

Chorus

kitchen sink reality

Why does it always feel the same?
To start another week, woke up too late again
Not too much joy, no real pain
Just the same old routines, it makes me go insane

How about a weekend in the sun?
I need some extra cash, maybe a real job
Some beers and a party just for fun
My television set makes me feel like a slob

Chorus: But do you mind? Or do you have enough?
On your own? Do you feel the same?
When I say: This is no fun

Monday morning, dark outside
Cannot stay in my bed, some fight inside my head
Everyone is struggling for their pride
All working 9 to 5, miracle they're still alive

Couldn't we go some place nice and warm?
Just some place far away, baby accept today
Far away from all those people's norms
Don't want to hear no more, about my fucked up score

Chorus

Bridge: Do you feel like getting old, like the world is growing cold?
All my days the same story.
Do you have enough? Do you feel the same?

long distance, goodbye

I've got to sing this song, even though it makes you sick
And you've heard it all before
It's about a girl, the one I met five years ago
You touched my heart by the core
We were drunk as hell, but I knew quite well
You're the one I will be dedicated to
We lived through our mistakes, wish I knew what it takes, to make you come back

Chorus: Where are you, when you should
Be here hanging out with me
Is there a problem I can't see
I want you next to me
Have to wait for night and days to see your sweet and lovely face.

You're not far away, but to me it feels like years
You're not there when I wake up
Do you want to see me again, I hope so cause I don't
I don t want us to give it up
Monday all alone, Tuesday by the phone, Wednesday I think about you my best friend
Thursday I don t care, Friday I wish you were here
Will you come over this weekend?

Chorus

Bridge: I want you back. Want to see you everyday.
Your smile, a while. You make me feel more than OK.

family values

What are you up to?
Who do you think you are?
You're just a hypocrite
And I know that you won't go far

Before you're going down
Before you take the fall
You can't see that you're wrong
You can't see one of all your flaws

Chorus: If I see that you are struggling
I'll turn my head, and walk away
Don't want to see you here again
I won't pretend to listen to what you say.

You don't belong to me; I don't belong to you
Don't know you anymore, or who you're supposed to be
Don't think that it's alright, don't think that it's OK
When you say: "It's your fault, and what about poor little me?"

Chorus

mitch

He's got the right things to say, and he knows how to dress
You may call him past midnight, he'll come clean up the mess
He's the right kind of guy for a girl like you
At least he thinks that he is really...

Strong, sexy & brave with a toothpaste-smile
Knows how to treat you in bed, he goes on for a while
Not just a real man, he's the prototype
His tan is perfect and his body's alright

Chorus: Everywhere you should go, you'll be safe with him
You'll never drown, cause he'll teach you how to swim
He will carry your bags and rub your feet at night
I'll bet a dollar that you'll get along with his son
He's a surfer and a rollerblade no. 1
And his father will never let you out of sight
Cause Mitch is alright...

His best friend is a cop with a motorbike
He knows exactly the ice cream that Mitch really likes
But deep inside he thinks that Mitch has too much chicks
And a way too small dick
His ex-wife is a bitch and so the story goes
She thinks that Mitch and his son are getting way too close
She's bitter, she's angry and she's afraid
She's really pissed, cause she can't get laid

Chorus

make it happen

Sunshine, and a smile upon your face
All my days are happy days
Cause we'll make it happen

You're here; you got nothing to fear.
Cause I'll always stay near
And we'll make it happen

Chorus: Been thinking long enough
And I am strong enough to tell them all
With you I'm all complete, and without you a looser-geek
I'm so glad that I called

You - me, it's so perfect can't you see?
It's the way that it will be
When we make it happen
I don't care about what the people say
We'll walk together anyway
If we make it happen

Chorus

If this is a dream, be sure not to wake me up
Cause I want my life to stop
If we won't make it happen.

hard to stay apart

I sat there staring at the phone four hours on end
Never thought I would loose my girlfriend
Stupid, soothing TV-shows please put me to sleep
All I had is gone, there's nothing here to keep

Chorus: It's hard to stay apart with our aching hearts
Apathy is turning into art
Hearing myself say, don't ever slip away
How can I forget about today

Up all night longing for the girl who set me free
She said she'd never be as confident as me
Do I have to fight for us, do I have to make you see
I will soon be home, where will you be?

Chorus

Bridge: There' nothing to do, didn t you expect me to release you?
There's nothing to say, shouldn't you be getting on your way- far and away

Chorus

(not) going home alone

Will you go out, with me some time?
I wonder why, I didn't ask as you where passing by
I shouldn't act that shy, no.
It's Friday night, after a drink, then I just might
Hook up with you, but then it's all too late, I'll treat you like my bait

Chorus: Must I behave like this, I always want more than a kiss
Why couldn't you understand, you were just a plan for not going home alone

It's way too late, I'm passing out in your bed
And suddenly, you're not at all that nice as you were in your “beer-disguise”, no
You ask me if, I'm gonna call, I say dead sure, but I know well
I won't see you again, we'll never be best friends

Chorus: Must I behave like this, now I don't even want a kiss
Why couldn't you understand, you were just a plan for not going home alone.

Bridge: If you had faith in me, I am sorry to let you down
I know it's not that nice, but tomorrow, I promise, tomorrow I'll be gone
I'm going out to find someone

Chorus

pink

There is this girl on MTV, want her so bad, but she can't see me
Her hair is pink, a piercing in her tongue
I hope so bad she'll hear this fucked up song

Her music isn't quite my thing, but her pretty face it gives me every-little-thing
Every morning I turn on my television set
Still I'm pretty sure she's not gonna call me yet

Chorus: If only we could get together some day, I'll show you things in a better way
Than they've ever felt before
Please sit down and think for a while, I'll turn your tears into a smile
Because it's you that I adore
Won't ever make your heart feel sore

Just for a coffee or a beer, I'm absofuckin'lutely not that weird
After a night with me, I'll make you realize and fantasize….

Chorus

Bridge:You make me think. You make me think.
I love you Pink…..

Chorus

in times like this

In times like this
Get up late and dream all day
Of June to come and the taste of May
Hard to think, hard to say
Glory days are all OK

Chorus: Hold on to, friends like you
Drift along, we'll carry on
Hold on to, desire too
Sing along, we'll carry on (and on)

As I recall, we won them all
We played it cool despite the fall
It's what I miss, in times like this
Only time from that to this

tell me

Tell me
Will you still recognize my face,
is there a chance to spend some days?
It's been a while, but maybe we could find a way that will be OK?
Are you the one who'll help me change,
will you help me to re-arrange?
A life that fell apart for just some time ago,
why I'll never know

Chorus: So if….
you're the one, let me know tell me you'll be at the show.
Then you can hum along to this new song written just for you
Maybe we could make it work might be weird, but not a jerk
I'll make you feel the same, there's no more pain
We're gonna pull this through!

Why won't you answer when I call,
I can not take another fall
I'm getting ready for the springtime, summerbreeze
Put my mind at ease!
Give me a day to make you see,
there is no better choice than me
Just take a chance, I'll never let you down my friend
Be here till the end!

Break: Wonder if you're sleeping all alone
Spending all my time next to the phone
If only you were here with me right now
I'm gonna make you fall in love somehow

Chorus

once again, you don't deserve this

Once again, you don't deserve this
I try to forget it, try to make sense
Won't go away 'cause there were too many plans
of staying together and growing up old
What happened to our love, when did it turn cold?
I'm tired of crying, there are no more tears
No one to help me to put away fears
You've had all your chances you turned me away
This was never my fault - you led me astray

Chorus: Take me back to the time when it felt right
To the days when I woke up not feeling sad
There must be another chance even for me
to make all the things in my life not so bad
to give me back some of the pleasures I once had

Sunday on my couch, staying alone
Life is so empty in "hangover-zone"
These used to be good days I used to feel free
Knew that you wanted to stay here with me
Then one day I woke up and you were not here
Tried to get you back, but you're still nowhere near
Our days as a couple ended in shame
But did you really have to make me feel so lame?

Chorus

ocean beach

As I dream of you again, Ocean Beach will never stop to mend
Pacific love, forever `till the end- to you my love I send

As late summer waves crash in, I breathe and dive right in it once again
Hearts will beat, hands will tremble when

Pre: Words might slip away, there's more than I can say - we might be ok

Chorus: Close your eyes and drift away, cause I dream of you each day
And my friends will never wash away
Take some time and you might see, what it all could mean to me
Cause one day we will all be free

It is still not sinking in, hoping that good guys will win
Won't think of how or what it might have been, believing it's my sin

I got no place to call my home, living life all on my own
This is not right, want to stay here in the sun where my friends and I belong

Pre

Chorus

1st rule of breaking up

Someday she'll come running back home
He'll be sitting waiting for her alone
She said that “he's forever gone”
Still she know there's something not right

She still thinks about him, was he meant for life or just a silly fling?
He's got a thousand reasons to know she's got a bunch of issues

Chorus: Loved him, left him said goodbye
Didn't even bother to explain him why
Still she keeps him hangin' on
Takes forever to make up her mind,
She will sure come back to him unless she'll find
Someone better

Years gone, he still hangs on to his
Dreams & hopes & wishes for another kiss
She plays, with his mind with his friends
But she says that it's not over, she just needs some more time
Trying out another bunch of pickup lines
Won't work, so I guess that she might end up giving him one more try

Chorus

Bridge: Please let her go, it's been too long
And let her know that she did wrong
If she regrets, please don't be weak
Tell her to leave, please don't be weak

Believe me, you will see
You shouldn't blame yourself or anyone but her
Told you lies, if she cries, don't let her in

Affected, rejected, you'll never know what's going on in her head
She's all fake, it's too late
she's not the one, start moving on!

Bridge

left or right

I've got my own certain way of fuckin' everything up
Struggling down here at the bottom when I should be on top
This time I won't let them win, the voices inside my head
Will show them all I won't be better off dead

Chorus: All my life, waiting for a good time to come along
All this time, felt so insecure while you seem so strong
What I wanna know, will you show me how it's done?

It takes some time to get up, when you've been hit lying down
I need a break from the water I won't let myself drown
I don't know your recipe or what flavour to choose
But I will scream if I win and I will cry if I…

Chorus

Bridge

Chorus

past & present

I had a girl, she was mean I was naive
She had a boy, it wasn't me- I'm not that lucky

Chorus: All the time I think about the past, it haunts me
Every night I wake up in my sweat
Every day I wish that she will say she's sorry

She won't dare to do it yet
I was obsessed, soon depressed and deprived
Of confidence, self-defence all my pride

Chorus
