"As You Were"

"As You Were"


Tell me why?
We won't fight
Are we wrong?
You worked hard for the wounds

So! Were we owed an ira to be whole?
We were robbed of the right

Come as you were
You're all right
Come as you were

Money, honey, bloody Mary, money, honey
Might as well marry the Ghost
Money, honey, bloody Mary, money, honey
Bloody well marry the the girl

Know, you weren't wrong
But as the moments will evolve, know this

We come as we were
We were called
Come as you were

Money, honey, bloody Mary, money, honey
Might as well marry the Ghost

"Awake!!"

"Awake!!"


Hey... You're awake
And it keeps you where you wanted to be known
That's all right You know that you've been framed
All the way
And it keeps where you wanted to be known
But that's all right... You're only human, boy
Take your inhibitions going home
Welcome home, boy

Hey! You're awake!
And that keeps you where you're wanting to be owned
That's all right, You're only evil
'Eh' all the way!
And it keeps you where you wanted to be owned
That's all right, you're only human boy
So stay a while

All the world's a stage and we are home again
All the world's afraid but we are home again, home again
Away from home? Wait!
I died a little... Away, away, away...

I want to be set free
On the road again for you and me
Tell your partner that you'll be on the way
Get up, get up, get up
We're far too old to whine about it

Hey, you're awake
And it keeps you where you've wanted to be known
That's all right, you knew we knew the way
All the way
And it keeps us where we wanted to be all the time
Oh, then sooner or later it comes
And we are free!
I'm free!
I'm free!

All the world's a stage and we are home again!
All the world's afraid but we are home again, home again!
Away from home? Wait!
I died a little... Wait! Wait! Wait!

I want to be set free
On the bond again for you and for me
Without a haunted song we'd be all alone
So get up, get up, get up
Now deconstruct!
Deconstruct!

All the world's afraid... All the world's afraid

And we looked up to the stars last night
And I saw that maybe... there was nothing more?
And my thought turned!

"Away"

"Away"


(I'm an idiot)
(Well stop being an idiot then!)

Even though I've made a few new friends
It's hard to be back here in Sweden again
As above and so below my friend
It's hard to be back here in Sweden again
...

"Babysong"

"Babysong"


Why don't you have a baby?
Why don't you have a child?
Babies are good
And part of humanity's charm
Why don't we have a baby?
Why don't we have a child?
Babies are you
And fatherhood rights all your wrongs
Goodbye baby, Daddy's going away
Goodbye Daddy... Baby's here to stay
A little baby!
Why don't you have a baby?
Why don't you have a child?
Babies are good
And fatherhood rights all your wrongs
Baby...

"Bad Devil"

"Bad Devil"


I wanna know what you all
Had for dinner
I wanna watch the rodeo
I wanna big city boy
Be a man, not a boy
I'm gonna meet you on down
Beside the bayou

I wanna be in your little friend
I wanna live in your underpants
I wanna big city boy
Be a man, not a boy
I'm gonna meet you on down beside the bayou

And we'll see how it feels when I'm older
And we'll see how it feels when it's over
'Cause it's all just a waste of time
So enjoy what's on my mind
(Someone should have said)

Train won't stop
Never gonna stop
And it's coming back to carry me back home
Leave me alone
With no where to go
And ride that wind back home...

Bad devil
Bad double-decker devil

Cry for me baby
Lie for me baby
Lay down before me baby
And ride that wind back home

Bad devil
And I've seen how I'll feel when I'm older
And I've seen how I'll feel when it's over
And it's not just a waste of time!
So enjoy what's on my mind

"Bastard"


[Not One Of My Better Days]

Night time, turn around
Lonely is the city tonight
Night time, all around
Lonely in the city tonight

Grey people stare at a static sky (as you will)
Ours is not to question why

Same thing, every time
Always seems to need what I'm not
To all the hopeful ones
Nobody gives a fuck what you've got

I only wish that I could pray to god
(But you will)
Stay a little longer
Please don't leave me alone

Bastard, mother, father no...
Time passed quicker than you will ever know
And they can push me harder
But you know I'll never go
And they will justify it, but you know
It will take them slow...

[The Girl From Blue City]

The lights go out across the harbor
And the boys are out on the corners
Sex in the neon basements (red and smelly)
Still I don't feel a thing (it's too cold to worry)
So in the corner by the dock
Where there's no light
It smells like piss but no one knows
And right now just to sleep would be all right

Feel old, gone where the feelings go
Gone now in a field of green
Gone where feelings go...

"Before We Die"

"Before We Die"


Dream city - I don't wanna
Dream city - I never wanted to be told
Dream city - I don't wanna

You're right, you're alright

Come to the Dream city - I don't wanna
Dream city - I never wanted to be told
Dream city - I don't wanna

You're right, you're alright

Though we are young, we've never had a place for us, never had the time
Remember to go slow...but never run away from this
'Cause there is always time!

Dream city - I don't wanna
Dream city - I never wanted to be told
Dream city - I don't wanna

You're right, you're alright

You better start living - I don't wanna
And quit dreaming - I never wanted to be told
Start living - I don't wanna

Your life, you're alright (we're alright, come on!)

Though we are young, we've never had a place for us, never had the time
Remember to go slow...but never run away from this
'Cause there is always time!

Remember to go slow...but never run away from this
Cause there is always time

To live before we die
To live before we die
To live before we die

You shall be always with me
You'll be the light that guided me through
and we may see each other soon

This is not goodbye...

"Believe"

"Believe"


Hold on to you now, want to take you in
Hold on to you now, everybody breath
Time kills the memory, makes you want to scream
Time cools the memories, really makes you want to bleed

Hold on to you now, want you to believe
Hold on to you now, everybody breath
Time kills the memory, makes you want to leave
Time kills the memory, makes you want to leave... this life

When will the world unite
Hold on

Hold on to you now, want you to believe
Hold on to you now, everybody grieves
Time kills the memory, makes you want to leave?
Time kills the memory, makes you want to leave... this life

"Bend It Like Bender!"

"Bend It Like Bender!"


Hey boy!
Where are you going with that little toy?
You know it's heavy
When we look into that open void
But animals don't think of it at all
Hey boy! Hey boy! (one, two, three, four!)
We are one and we have found
They only wanted you around
To hold it down so hold your ground
We won't be here forever
We are one and we have found
They only wanted you around
To hold it down so hold your ground
We won't be here forever
Hang on! Till the winner comes!
Games over losers, I have all the money!
We are one and we have found
They only wanted you around
To hold it down so hold your ground
We won't be here forever
We are one and we have found
They only wanted you around
To hold it down so hold your ground
We won't be here forever
We are young and we have fun
And all we've found in being around
Is 'all in all' and 'Holy Cows'
While things keep getting heavy!
Hang on!
To your man and hang on!
To your woman and hang on!

"Blackberry"

"Blackberry"


The leaves are falling down
The trees are calming down
So do we love it now?

The thrills are calming down
And she is leaving town
So do we love it now?

Find a way, we're falling all the time
Soon we will be home within our time
Soon we will be harmonized
How in the world are we going to find the time?

I will always love you
If you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in line
I will always love you
If you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in too

I'm over, I'm over, I'm overtired
I'm over, I'm over, I'm overtired
(You're so tired)

I'm over, I'm over, I'm overtired
I'm over, I'm over, I'm overtired

I will always love you
If you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in line
I will always love you
If you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in too

It's you, it's you, it's always been you
It's you, it's you

Young love, it's on the blackberry vine
Young love, it's on the blackberry vine
Young love, it's on the blackberry vine
Young love, it's on the blackberry vine
