No Cigar
Tell us where you're from
what you want to become
And we'll say if you're OK
Where did you go to school
Right answer and you're cool
Yeah you're the kid all day
You get a sticker in your face
Information about the case
So you know your potential
Don't you think you can extend
Don't you think you can extend, just comprehend
But I don't wanna hear it
No, it's more than I can accept
I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
We will shut you out
We'll put you in doubt
If you think that you're special
We'll tell you know you are
Tell you that you're close but no cigar
But, I don't want wanna hear it
No, it's more than I can accept
'Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
What they say is...
Go back, where you came from
They'll tell you that, but I don't wanna hear
No, I don't wanna hear
No, I don't wanna hear it
No, it's more than I accept
'Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

Fox
I met a fox the other day
When I asked how much she cost, I had to pay
All of a sudden I'd brought her home
She's my world, she's so rad
She's the best ride I ever had
She's my life, she's so bad
She's the best ride I ever had
When I imagine me and her
You know that I get a stand-up fur
I give her oil, I give her gas
And get her seat beneath my ass
Then the turtledoves drive away
She's second-hand, so what
She's true, she's by my side
For all I care she's hot, she's a real good ride
When we go out people stop and stare with jealous minds
It's OK for me as long as they let her be
To prevent something like a theft I got her locked around a tree

Material Boy
I'm leaving the Wat
To Buddhism, no longer loyal
I'm breaking my heart, as my compassion to the third world turned to greed
Bye bye, real McCoy, no ideal as if I was royal
No, I'm a material boy
There's nothing in this world i don't think I need
Now I'm shopping, I'm not stopping.
There will always be new new stuff to buy
And I'll expand my needs somehow
I bought an iMac and mouse, a phone to go with my spirit
Next step might be a house, six bedrooms and pool just for me
I will live a Tsar, the beggars' chant won't hear it
I'll have a boat, new TV and car
And in my mouth a far Cuban cigar
Now I'm shopping, I'm not stopping
There will always be new new stuff to buy
And I'll expand my needs somehow
Top
Duckpond
Everybody is leaving from this town and from me
They've got the burning flame, they sure achieve their aim
You know that's tough for me to see
Oh, how I wish that I could do the same as them and go
Just pack my bags and good-bye
Get out fast or fade away real slow
What you see is what you get right here
Where a change is nowhere near
What you see is what you get from me
In this duckpond, leave me be
I pretend my life is perfect like the faces on TV
Yeah, that's the only way to face another day
Try to deny the misery
But those are the ways of loonies and like a clown
Yeah, I do act
No matter where I could be or would like to go
I'm stuck here, that's a fact
I'm too weak, I'm down on my knees
Too feeble for something new
Feels like there's nothing I can do
Keep on laughing bout me
Keep on doing your own
But some day I will be that one
Be that one
Yeah, some day I will be that one....

Right About Now
I gotta get me grip and be strong
Gotta show I can rip, moving on
As I'm trembling, it's not ending
Gotta avoid to make slips and meet nongs
'Cause I want it, yeah I wanna live my life
I wanna live my life in this world
And I need it
Yes I need it
Yeah, I need to spend my days on this earth
I gotta learn to say NO, disallow
Well, it's my turn to go pro, right about now
I've been fading for too long, degrading
I gotta earn me some dough, this is how
At 23, I was far from feeling free
At 24, my life was a big bore
Now I'm 25 and I'm still not high
Yeah, I'm 25 but still alive
I'll never give up until I reach my goal
Until I reach my goal...
Controlling body and soul

Penguins And Polarbears
I don't want you to know too much about me, oh no
'Cause I know you'll take advantage of the words that I say
You're looking for a way to depress me, make me pay
You don't want me to be
Too close around you 'cause I would see
All the weak sides that you got, but which you're trying to hide
You know that I would nail you if I could nurse my pride
You're on the top when I'm low
As soon as you're fading I will grow
I don't like you
You don't like me
We're lacking energy
Yeah, we're lacking energy
It's a mind game we play
Rule the roost, major cliche
While one of us is fit the other's going insane
And every time we think the positions will remain
You're on the top when I'm low
As soon as you're fading I will grow
I don't like you
You don't like me
We're lacking energy
Yeah, we're lacking energy
So you got me up against the wall
And I'm only waiting for your fall
I'll get back on top and be carefree
It's not the end for me, no it's not the end for me
I know we're thinking the same
And our opponent's the one to blame
Thinking this way is not something that we both longed for
Living this way is something we never did plan
But I don't think we will change
'Cause we're stuck in roles as other's antipoles

Hellman
No matter what I feel you
Those three words I can't say
I regret the times I used the word OK
I know how much it means when people show they really care
Of the value in honesty, I'm quite aware
But still there's much in me that I don't share
Don't have the guts to say what I think
I'm too scared to say what I think of you
The other way around I'd say
I function the same way
The darker sides of me I underplay
Afraid to get into conflicts
Afraid to tell you "no"
Though I know this weakness keeps me low
There's so much inside me that I don't show
Somethings I can never show
Why I don't know...
Don't have the guts to say what I think
I'm too scared to say what I think of you
I'm too scared of what I really think of you

Devil Me
Yes I'm a Yugoslav, indeed a Swede
Got two brothers, girlfriend, dad and mom
Good boxer-shorts I need, lots of maps I read
I would love to run my own farm
I like the Beatles, funk and punk
I watch hockey, basketball and play chess
I eat veggie-junk and love Superchunk
To boule and travel I say yes
All this I adore at the same it's just me
It's what I care for, it's what I want to be
I want it all, I want it all to stay right here
I want it all to be a part of Slick Nick's sphere
I want it all to be sincere wherever I go
Lisa, Madonna are girls who know where it's at
And Dr.Kris is a favourite rocker
My main star is Miat, we have a car, a Fiat
Yeah, still my dearest sport is soccer
I'm not an ace on bass, it's what I face
But yeah, think it's king to sing
Sailing boats I chase, I'd like to go into space
Riding by silverfox is the real thing
I want it all, I want it all to stay right here
I want it all to be a part of Slick Nick's sphere
I want it all to be sincere wherever I go
Where ever I go, Where ever I go, Where ever I...
All around the world I go, Pennybridge, Belgrade and even T.O.

Stop To Think
You never wanted me to go
You didn't dare to let me know
That luck could turn back to my side
I knew my wishes qualified
So why won't you let me show who I am
I'm not doing this because of you
And I, I'm not here because you want me to
I know you're feeling you can me through
Well, it's all lost the moment I stop to think
Now I'm leaving you in fear
But I will come back every year
To be the fifth wheel you don't need
I'll be a reason for you to speed
So why won't you let me show who I am
The moment I stop to think
Same moment as I start to sink
Sometimes I wish I were like you
So why won't you try to see who I am

The Mayfly
Everything's complete
The newly wed syndrome
The mayfly hit street
Everybody in plus
Burnt out as can be
Watching you go home
It's crystal clear to me
You no longer need us
It's OK, we'll come around
Now there's nothing left for us
We're packing up, saying goodbye
To a place no one can trust
To a scene based on a lie
I truly hope we won't retreat
The same mistake we won't repeat
The bond was stabile as a shed
Love is mutual, love is dead
Everything went great
With lot's of beginners luck
The mayfly on a skate
Timing in perfection
Bored out as can be
Monkey's getting stuck
The four of us agreed
We need to follow the action
Where ever that might be...
Here I go
I'm tried about what all you say
Just one show, you owe it to the kids, so play
That's all bull
The main thing's that we're having fun
Said and done, said and done
I don't owe a shit to anyone

Highway Donkey
When I was younger I did not know how to be
I lived my own lie and I never asked the question why
I always talked and dressed like everyone 'round me
Where were my own view and my own thoughts
I don't have a clue
Insecurity, no confidence that was my style
I did some false things
You'd say I was playing the wrong strings
To realise and see how lost I was, it took a while
But it was worth it
'Cause now I'm much more confident and fit
I'm not going down the highway
'Cause I had the might to stop
And turn around before it was too late
Instead I'm slowly going my way
And if I don't reach the top
I still got lots right here I appreciate
Just because I'm older now
Does not mean I'm complete
Yeah, I still have fear
It's not as strong but it's still here
And I'm confused at times
But now I know where to put my feet
Right in my own trail
That's the only place if I don't wanna fail

A-Ten
I'm holding you as you feel scared and small
You've lost someone you love
And it's her you're thinking of
It's all that matter to you right now
And it will be like this for long
I'll be close to you, won't hide
'Cause I know you need me by your side
You wanna see her back again
You wanna see her back into this world
These past few months have been the
Toughest of your life
You've lost someone you love
And there's no greater pain above
I know how close you were you two
And the joy and love you shared
It was sweet for me to see
But now it's aching inside me
If only she could see you now
Deep inside I think she can somehow
She'd be the happiest mom, she'd be so proud
She's laugh and smile
Shut up, you're dreaming
You're screaming at me loud
And that's the way you really feel
Back into this world...

Pepper
So you ain't got all you chickens home
But from what I do recall
You don't have incurable syndromes
So don't you worry about a single thing
Don't you hurry, you're a future king
I know it's all in you
Just gotta find out what you wanna do
I know it's all in you
And deep inside you feel it too
They say you're lazy and don't wanna work
It's not too crazy not to wanna slave, you're not a jerk
So don't you doubt about your future plan
You're a knockout and I'm your biggest fan
You know it's up to you
You always have an option
To choose what you wanna do
Take control or run and hide
It's OK to take a fall, if you have good intentions
As long as you give it all, you'll feel good inside
I know it's all in you
Just gotta find out what you wanna do
I know it's all in you
And deep inside you feel it too
I know it's all in you
The common sense, splendid point of view
I know it's all in you
All your dreams they can come true

The Ballad
The last selection in the ballgame
Does never get a pass
"Not appreciated" is just his first name
He's the scapegoat of the class
There are no friends to cheer him up and
No girls, no sweet romance
It's impossible to expand
When you never get a second chance
Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone
Do you care enough too see
He's in pain and misery
He's not going to the school-prom
He said he had the fly
Trumped-up excuses as he told Mom
I'm safer here with you
She told her son "Some day they'll all be
Sorry for mistreating you
Don't be afraid my son and trust me
You'll be someone they will look up to"
Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone
Do you care enough to see
He's in pain and misery...
Do you care to see
Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone
Do you care enough to see
He's in pain and misery
