drunken night

I am wandering aimlessly
and lose myself in the drunken night
my future right ahead of me
nonetheless keeps out of sight

may have been a word you said
or was it just lust unfulfilled
maybe that my inner beast
was yet in need to be stilled

in my fury I just slammed the door
and headed for the nearest bar
I tossed down a drink too much
next all the sounds came from afar

now I'm wandering aimlessly
and lose myself in the drunken night
my future right ahead of me
nonetheless keeps out of sight

eventually my rage dissolves
I can't remember what was wrong
I've just got the vague idea
that somehow we can't get along

and I'm wandering aimlessly
and lose myself in the drunken night
my future right ahead of me
nonetheless keeps out of sight

maybe I will not come back
or maybe I'll scratch at your door
maybe I will feel ashamed
knowing I've been there before

I won't give in

my hardship ends at closing time
I've no intent to social climb
I just enjoy my evening beer
when I'm joining with my peers

I saw your patronizing look
like I was some kind of crook
while you're master of the universe
you see, I'm just a little boss-averse

you may think you can dictate to me
you may think you can lay down the law
you base your views on ideology
but your theories have got a flaw

I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in

you pay the wage you're in the driver's seat
I'm just some source that you deplete
but that's restricted to the working hours
at quitting time you simply lose your power

you may think you can dictate to me
you may think you can lay down the law
you base your views on ideology
but your theories have got a flaw

I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in

I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in

I'm not your slave
...

 

pardon me, Melanie

Melanie, please pardon me
if I caused you pain
Melanie, please pardon me
if your pleas were in vain

Melanie, please pardon me
if my words were too harsh
Melanie, please pardon me
if I hit you too hard

Melanie, you see
if it wasn't for your intransigence
I'd never have lost control

Melanie, please pardon me
if I made you cry
Melanie, please pardon me
if I caused your black eye

Melanie, please pardon me
if I have stained your rug
Melanie, please pardon me
if I have spilled your blood

Melanie, you see
if it wasn't for your intransigence
I'd never have lost control

Melanie, please pardon me
if I have smashed your head
Melanie, please pardon me
if I have caused your death

Melanie, you see
if it wasn't for your intransigence
I'd never have lost control

[spoken:]
gotta wrap you up real nicely
add some more weight to the package
and find me some place to dump it
fuck, what a mess
see what you're doin' to me

by the seven seas

I'm blooming like a sprig in spring
breathing deeply I've come to life
I'm the bird that courts and sings
I am here to cheer and thrive

hov'ring o'r vast and fertile plains
abundance, richess, luxuries
I'm the sunshine when it rains
to lure you off your infancy

and I ride with the wind
and I howl with the storm
I'll calm down like a breeze
by the seven seas

I take my time 'cause life is brief
while I climb towards the crest
I'm gliding down as autumn leaf
providing color and some rest

and I ride with the wind
and I howl with the storm
I'll calm down like a breeze
by the seven seas

come my time I'm the winter freeze
whispering secrets to the trees
I am tired, but I'm free
I'm free

and I rode with the wind
and I howled with the storm
I calmed down like a breeze
beyond the seven seas

 

complicated

girl you're so sophisticated
you make life so complicated
I don't have the slightest clue
as to how to make love to you

when I asked you for a dance
you started talking 'bout romance
the hist'ry of romantic love
courtship in medieval times
customs of the diff'rent climes
I really didn't stand a chance

girl you're so sophisticated
you make life so complicated
I don't have the slightest clue
as to how to make love to you

when I suggested to dine out
you began to think aloud
'bout poverty in the third world
about what food the Romans ate
what had been served on Caesar's plate
- I began to get my doubts

girl you're so sophisticated
you make life so complicated
I don't have the slightest clue
as to how to make love to you

girl, you see me in despair
you speak in tongues, you are so learned
girl, I think it is not fair
I'm helpless, yet you're unconcerned

girl you're so sophisticated
you make life so complicated
I don't have the slightest clue
as to how to make love to you

no more

no more trusting, no more lying
no more longing, no more crying
no more suff'ring, no more feeling
no more hurting, no more healing
no more hoping, no more waiting
no more loving, no more hating
no more wanting, no more missing
no more nagging, no more hissing

no more trying, no more failing
no more smiling, no more wailing
no more falling, no more bleeding
no more eating, no more feeding
no more running, no more walking
no more list'ning, no more talking
no more owning, no more yearning
no more teaching, no more learning

no more hagg'ling, no more dealing
no more taking, no more stealing
no more won'dring, no more caring
no more giving, no more sharing
no more smirking, no more grinning
no more gaining, no more winning
no more cheering, no more prancing
no more playing, no more dancing

no more breathing
no more breathing
no more breathing

 

fuck being cool

she sat across me on the tube
I noticed she was cryin'
she said "I'm not just ugly,
but I am fat as well"
I said "there's no denyin',
but there is more than beauty
where you can excel"

fuck being cool
don't let them piss you off
don't be a fool - so
fuck being cool

he wore a skirt showing off
his legs and slender shape
he was a boy but fancied
dancing the ballet
I said "sorry if I gape,
if this is what makes you happy,
then it is okay"

fuck being cool
don't let them piss you off
don't be a fool - so
fuck being cool

have you heard about the man
who had a heart attack
spent all his life pursuin' his career
as of today he is thrown back
to try again - or just persevere

fuck being cool
don't let them piss you off
don't be a fool - so
fuck being cool

I'm a nerd, but I don't care
I could bore you to death
before you say something wrong
or start teasing me
you'd better hold your breath
mind that I'm pretty strong
when I disagree

fuck being cool
don't piss me off
I'm not a fool - so
fuck being cool

no more (rewrite)

no more trusting, no more lying
no more longing, no more crying
no more suff'ring, no more feeling
no more hurting, no more healing
no more hoping, no more waiting
no more loving, no more hating

no more trying, no more failing
no more smiling, no more wailing
no more running, no more walking
no more list'ning, no more talking
no more owning, no more yearning
no more teaching, no more learning

no more cheering, no more prancing
no more playing, no more dancing
no more giving, no more sharing
no more won'dring, no more caring
no more smirking, no more grinning
no more gaining, no more winning

no more breathing
no more breathing
no more breathing
