Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hate myself when going
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Hear me I sound like a Beatle
I get cold feet when the pressure is on
You can't see me coz I'm lost like a needle
In a haystack yeah I'm almost gone
Like a mouse follows the flute
Or like a mute who can't dispute I fall in line with you

Mouse more than man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan
Mouse more than man, yes I am
Coz yet I go with the flow

See me as a chameleon, a cheap shot
I change my cast for anybody's best
But I'm not free I feel more like a robot
That is programmed to please the rest
So whatever you want I'll do
Whenever you want me to I will agree with you
Mouse more than man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan

Mouse more than man, yes I am
Coz yet I go with the flow
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hate myself when going
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

No more sound like a Beatle
Those cold feet are for yesterday
No more getting the needle
I cannot care about what others say
Mouse more than man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan
Mouse more than man, yes I am
Coz yet I go with the flow before the shit hits the fan
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
This is my last time going

. . .



I always knew you were a keeper
Maybe not exactly from day one
Guess I never wanted it to be overdone
And even though you are a sleeper
Well, to me that's never been a crime
And after all you woke up in time

So now you're back on your feet again
Now you're back to compete with men
Now you're back and it took some time
To get from misery to prime
Now you're back onto change the world
Now you're back and I say: Go girl!
Now you're back and you'll do just fine
'Coz after rainy days the sun will shine

I know I've been part of the reasons
Why you sometimes felt so sore
And I'm sorry I didn't give you more
But now you're heading better seasons
And your mom she's watching you
From above with fingers crossed for everything you do

So now you're back on your feet again
Now you're back to compete with men
Now you're back and it took some time
To get from misery to prime
Now you're back onto change the world
Now you're back and I say; Go girl!
Now you're back and you'll do just fine
So don't resign
'Coz after rainy days the sun will shine

It doesn't matter what others say
Even those you call friends
Don't leave it out for another day
This might be your big chance
You're the one always beside me
When I'm lost you're always to guide me
It's about time I give you something back
I'm the one selfish and greedy
Never care enough of what you needed

. . .



So now I got a black eye
Even though I never got smacked
But if I get a retry
Then I will try to give back
You were the one who got jacked
And I hope you will forgive me
for whenever I capsize

I know that you can see it in my eyes
I'm not myself right now
My biggest problem is to compromise
But I'm sure I would know how
I show my tragedy with my black eye

I've been the one to deny
Everything that you do
I said it's all a big lie
Always questioning you
Even though you've been true
And I know that I've been nothing more
than just a jealous guy

But everybody's talking about you
All the time about things you do
And that's the only time I do realize
That I do love being close to you
And everybody's laughing with you
Guess that's the thing that I just can't stand

. . .



I know I get what I give
Since I don't feel too good guess I don't give much
Maybe I just wanna live
I knock on wood every time I feel human touch
What can I do to fit in?
Kiss up to someone? It will never happen
When alienation hits in on me
My empathy is gone, my conscious blackens
And I just spit in your face
When you ask for help
My heart is made of stone

Nobody's best friend, I'm on my defence
Everyone stands alone

Another elbow hit, somebody's ego trip
Everyone stands alone
I know I get what I give
Funny vibes, what goes around comes around
But yeah, I just wanna live
With someone by my side some kind of close bond
Another spit in your face
Every time you need me
I am busy with my own

When it all comes down to it we all stand alone
So many times it's been shown

. . .



Hardcore skater used to be
One of few who inspired me
To get into the punkrock scene
The year I turned seventeen
Our first song ever Danny wrote
For teenage angst he was the antidote
An uncut diamond full of strife
His first demo changed my life

He's a rebel it's plain to see
Punk rock rebel so full of strife
He's a rebel and he'll always be
someone who changed my life

It takes a lot for a man to stay unbowed
He's the one and only "Svag and proud"
Partners we have been in crime
And in music from time to time
Although most known for his drinking skills
It's not the side of him that gives me thrills
It's the gifted poet I see in Dan

. . .



I gotta learn how to lose and to choose my own wars
I gotta understand it's not me against the world no more
When you are sure as hell then I don't know
You are so pure and well when I am low
When you say ”Sure as hell!” then I say no

A spoke in your wheel, yeah like a bugging fly
A thorn in your side just like a constant red eye
On being an ass I've really been a pro
So can I say no?!

I know I've tread on your toes and it shows who I am
And all these situations and relations from the start
they were damned
I feel a need to stop when you say go
I am indeed a flop if you say so
I feel a need to stop so I say no

A spoke in your wheel, yeah like a bugging fly
A thorn in your side just like a constant redeye
On being an ass I've really been a pro

. . .



I felt like Travis Bickle, tyrannical, lonely and blue
I don't know why I went to Botanical but there I met you
You made me go from blue to green just in time
before I got a mohawk
When we're together I'd say we look like brooklime
And you can't talk or walk but I love your leafstalk

All I wanna do
Is live my life with you
Tall you've gotta grow
I'll give you H20
All I want to do
Is live a simple life here with you

Your way! I'll send no billet-doux!
If you rather want me to I'll buy a green house for you
You'll always be on the sunny side of my heart
I hope you don't dry out at times when we're apart
Hope you don't leave me in the cart!

As I said
I really hope that you don't leave me in the cart
Coz if you do dry out then that will truly break my heart
And I'll feel like Bickle once more
And maybe I will lose it,

. . .



I think I've been wrong in this family affair
It's been too long that we got used
to everything unfair
I'm out there trying to put on the charms
But inside I'm crying
when I remember how you cut your arms

Here comes happiness for dogs like us
And I just hope it's gonna last
The drugs they give you
are something I don’t trust
At least when side effects come fast
Just like in the past

Everyone is not stable,
we all got our ups and downs
They gave you a label
and pills to make you drowse
I do not trust them coz I've seen you fall
What's to discuss
when you almost lost the will to live at all

Here comes happiness for dogs like us
And I just hope it's gonna last
The drugs they give you
are something I don't trust
At least when side effects come fast
Just like in the past
when side effects came fast
Happiness it never lasts

Almost twenty years of fighting
for your health not too exiting
And I know there's so much more that I could do
But you just never give up,
hope that one day you will live up

. . .



Walking around the streets of Linné
Reloading batteries in my own way
Nobody around here would know who I am,
that's o.k
I really wanna do something new
Just anything different to get into
It's all up to me to give it a try
That it's all up to me is making me terrified
It looks like I'll be waiting for moments
that will never arrive

When will I live my life for me?
When will I do what I want to?
When will I let myself be free
and take care of things that I value?
So when will I live my life just for me?

Hitting P.B. driving E20 north
Future plans being made
going back and forth
Remain passive
I do got dreams on my mind
And I really should be taking a chance
Risk my safety just for once advance
The one who is trying
is the one who succeeds
I should be following
my heart and my needs
But I know it's a problem for me
to translate words into deeds

Please say you feel the same way
Just say you know exactly how I feel
So say you feel the same way
And I will do it for real

When will I live my life for me?
When will I do what I want to?
When will I let myself be free
And take care of things that I value?
It's true, I need to forgive myself and see
It's not too late for something new
So when will I live my life just for me?
Yeah when will I live my life just for me?

. . .



When I met you I said
we would hang out everyday
Now I upset you
from a payphone on Queens West and Bay

She's saying
The words I'm saying have lost their meaning
When I'm so far from my aim
But trying to tell me I'm only dreaming
Is like adding fuel to the flame

When I told you I'd buy a brand new car, first rate
That was a lie to you when I got a Civic from '88

Even though I upset you
I think we make a really good team
I think it's coz I love you
that I've been living in a dream
And it's you who are that dream

. . .



Design me a drug that will help you to act right.
Just tell me how and you're stuck in the spotlight.
You've gotta learn how to think before you act.
I really need some more distance to react.

Design me a lie that is harmless but still smart.
I'll bet you'll buy it, it will soften your stone heart.
Another stab in the back, but it's allright.
I'm planning my revenge now and it's airtight.

We're falling apart and I'm still dependent.
Pretending we'll remain the same.
Pretending we're still the same.
Pretending we share the blame.

But I know we should swallow our pride
and just try to avoid to collide.
There's nothing to say, I'm here until it's gone.
I'm where I belong now, I'm just hanging on.
I never felt this really, maybe you will.
Understand this life and it's big thrill
There's nothing to lose so come on just admit it.
Surrender yourself or I know you will quit it.
We're one in a hundred, won't bend under pressure.

. . .



I'm not harmonic
I can't reach self-esteem
That's quite ironic
coz I thought I'd be living my dream
I don't feel supersonic
I don't drive in the lane of whipped cream
I'm more like a chronic
ignorantly swimming upstream

What can I do to be happy?
I have problems to decide
When it looks to me the grass is greener
On the other side

How do I live for the moment
when I always wanna be else where?
How do I reach a fulfilment
when I'm crashed and got parts to repair?
Why is my only amusement
giving other people my despair?
Why do I give jealous judgement
on another's affair?

I wanna get satisfaction just like
the Stones and Manu Chao
Gotta ignore all rejection
I gotta keep trying anyhow
I wanna be close to the action
I wanna live my life now
For this correction I need direction
gotta find it within myself somehow

So maybe one day I'll be happy?!
But until then I have to realize
That the grass is not always greener
It's only up to me to recognize
That the grass is not always greener
It's in your head it might look greener
Coz the grass will never be greener

. . .



For six weeks I had this job
cleaning the local hospital
The pay was o.k. but I didn't like to swab
so I changed it for a bass guitar
Boredom was my companion
stuck to me like glue
But I broke the bond
to make some dreams come true

Like a street to a hustler, a face to the soul
It's the one and the only place we control
It's our reality, not just a poem
It's the place that we call home

For some time I went to school
tried to learn what's right and wrong
I didn't like their schemes
I couldn’t buy their rules
so I went back to where I belong
You gotta love the sound
of that guitar and the bass
The snare it sounds like gunfire
it's like a thousand decibel punch in the face

East or west? well, home is the best!
Though I sometimes feel like a clown
But I've also had the feeling, Yes!
That I’m unstoppable
and that no one can bring me down!
Step right in
Erase what's on your mind
Step right in
Leave everything behind
