Superman Can Fly
04:34
|

It's fired, it's fired
My desires are shattered
Take the money every time
Now I'm alone
I'm shocked, I'm shocked
Now shut up the shop,
Grab the money, it'll be fine...
And go home. I'm alone, I'm alone.
I'm shook I'm shook
I'm shaking off the hook
I'm mis-took, I'm mistaken at the end of the line
Now I'm alone, I'm alone.
They're all getting high
They think Superman could fly
But we're having a great time
Now we're having a great time.
Someone said, someone blinks
Someone's dead & someone thinks
We're alone, we're alone, we're alone?

An Untimely End
04:00
|
|||
I'm too old to act childish
Too young to know any better
But I'm just gay enough
To be a Ray of f'king sunshine
I'll fly the nest, I'll make a mess
I'm on the case, now make a face
I'm too bold to give it up this time...
You are always there for me
when I've nowhere to go
I don't know how to switch off
You are always there for me
When times are low
I don't know how to switch off
I don't know how to forget
I don't know how to forgive
I don't know how to be free
You are always there for me
I'm really bad at hiding
This feeling I'm describing
I take on the chin like a big bad fool
If you can hold your own
I'll stay on hold
Long gone is the time
When uncool was cool
Oh and you, you will come to an untimely end my friend
And I have a feeling that's it
So why not rejoice at your early demise?
And escape from a world that's full of shiiiit

Ego At The Door
06:01
|
|||
Put your hands up, do you receive me?
Your blue eyes turn to dust and grey
I touched your hand and said, "I'm here whenever you need me"
It's too bad I lead you on
I touched your hand and said how much I adore you
By the way, leave your ego at the door
Leave your ego at the door mmmm hmmm
Why don't you for fill my ambitions?
Always leave me wanting more
Why don't you suspect my suspicions
Always coming back for more
Leave your ego at the door
When I get old and I dream a dream of my lifetime
What you say, it rings so true
When someone offers you the dreams of your lifetime
Go home... That's your cue
So at the taxi rank and you're shout at some dreamboat
All blue eyed no but a crooked smile
Make a note you left your ego at the door
Leave your ego at the door... mmm hmmm

Sold My Soul
04:36
|
|||
What I hope I can do
Is make it pain free with a short, sharp attack
I’m feeling obligated
I might just disappear, and I just might not come back
I think I’ve sold my soul
It was a motivated move just to pick up on some slack
I’m feeling disenfranchised
But when I reappear, thought I was not coming back
Woo Woo
I don’t know what to do
With an ice cream headache, with the tracks on my back
I’m feeling obligated
When I disappear – well I’m not coming back
I think I’ve sold my soul

The Hum
06:46
|
|||
Airplane will never come
Won’t be soon, won’t be long
I’m my bed covered in sheets
My big mouth, not discreet
Aeroplane flies so hard
Wonder about the people, what they are
Wonder when they come, it’s my turn
Now here's the hum
Life or feeling?
Blink my ears – I don’t care
It’s not fair – being in the air
Sound’s not baking in the sun
I’m no fun – and I won’t be won
In my bed, in the middle of the night
On my own, a crescendo fright
Fighting something in the air
That isn’t there – will it come?
Or is it the hum?

Do You Think It's Right?
03:24
|
|||
Do you think it’s right?
We’re all up to our ears
Saturday, Friday, Monday – then years and years
Confront your greatest fears
Confront them – I’ll cope with the tears
Saturday’s gone and the world keeps turning
Sunday’s here but the world is burning
Do you think it’s right when I can be wrong
I love it when I’m wrong
But I think I’m so strong
And you can still be right
(My head is burning and now I feel special)
Do you think it’s right?
All in it up to our heads
We dream about it in our beds
Come, come – it’s your fears
We’ve confirmed them – time for some beers (tears)
(Do you, do you think I’m really that stupid?
Not a time for Martin, more a time for cupid)

I Better Drive
05:11
|
|||
Help me, when I want it least
You are my departure
Sometimes, I wish I was at peace
Is this some kind of torture
(I like life)
Let’s go somewhere to have fun
Let’s go somewhere free and open
Let’s go beyond the horizon
Let your mind be free and open
Let’s go – money’s not a problem
Anxiety is not peace
Free will and love is just an option
Bad moods will now cease
Let’s go somewhere where the world is a little bit better
Let’s go somewhere to have fun
Let’s go somewhere like I said where things are a little bit better
Let’s go somewhere to have some fun
I better drive

I Want To Make It Easy
07:59
|
|||
I want to make it easy
I want to make it short
I want to make it quiet
I want to make a thought
I want to make it harder
I want to make it long
I want to make it louder
I want to feel I belong
I want to make it peaceful
I want to make it strong
I want amorous, baby
I want to help things along
I want to make it easier
I want to make it good
I want you to believe me
I want to be understood
If it looks the same
We’ll never ever do it again
If it feels that way
We’ll never ever do it again
Space & time
Name & life
Die & live
Day & night
