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 the whole day.
You got a sticker in your face
Information about the case,
So you know your potential.
Don't think you can extend.
Don't think you can extend, just comprehend.
But 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.
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 who you are.
We'll tell you that you're close but no cigar.
But, I don't wanna hear it (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.
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.
Well I asked how much she cost, I had to pay.
All of a sudden I'd brought her home.
She's one hundred kilos dressed in silverchrome.
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.
And then the turtledoves drive away.
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.
She's secondhand, so what ? She's true, she's by my side.
For all I care she's hot, and 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 'round a tree.
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.
Material Boy

and ill expand my needs somehow i swear
Duckpond
Everybody is leaving from this town and from me.
They've got the burning flame, they sure achive 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 looney's 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.
What you see is what you get right hear.
Where a change is nowhere near.
What you see is what you get from me.
In this duckpond, leave me be.
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 someday I will be that one.
Be that one.
Yeah, someday I will be that one...
Be that one.
Be that one.
Yeah, somday I will be that one...
Be that one.
Yeah, someday I will be that one...
Right About Now
I gotta get me a grip and be strong.
Gotta show I can rip, moving on.
As I 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 Polar Bears
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, bout 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 mindgame 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 we both longed for.
Living this way is never something we 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 for you, there's 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.
Well I'm too scared i dont Have the guts to say what I Think
Well I'm too scared i dont Have the guts to say what I Think
Well I'm too scared i dont Have the guts to say what I Think
Well I'm too scared i dont 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.
Don't have the guts to say what I think.
Well I'm too scared i dont Have the guts to say what I Think
Well I'm too scared i dont Have the guts to say what I Think
Well I'm too scared i dont Have the guts to say what I Think
Well I'm too scared i dont say what I think of you.
There's so much inside me that I don't show.
Somethings I can never show. Why I don't know.....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 boxershorts 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, play chess.
I eat veggie-junk and I love Superchunk.
To boule and travel I say yes.
All this I adore, at the same time 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 where ever I go.
Lisa, Madonna are girls who knows where it's at
and Dr. Kris is a favorite 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, I think it's king to sing.
Sailingboats I chase, I'd like to go into space.
Riding my silverfox is the real thing.
All this I adore, at the same time 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 where ever I go.
Where ever I go, Where ever I go, Where ever I go
All around the world I go, Pennybridge, Belgrade and even T.O.
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, I want it all,
I want it all, I want it all to stay right here.
To be a part of Slick Nick's sphere.
I want it all to be sincere where ever I go.
Stop To Think

The Mayfly
Everything's complete
The newly wed syndrome
The mayfly hit the 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 mutal, 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...
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 mutal, love is dead
Here I go
I'm tired 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
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
on a lie
I truly hope we won't retreat
To a scene based on a lie
on a lie
The same mistake we won't repeat
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 didn't have a clue. Insecurity, no confidence that's my style.
I did some false things, you'd say I was playing the wrong strings.
To realize 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 got 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 matters 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.
(chorus x2)
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.
(chorus x2)
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'd laugh and smile. Shut up you're dreaming.
You're screaming at me loud.
And that's the way you really feel.
(x4)
Back into this world...
Pepper
Verse 1
So you ain't got all your chickens home
From what I do recall you don't have incurable syndromes
Don't you worry 'bout a single thing
Don't you hurry you're a future king
(Chorus)
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
Verse 2
They say you're lazy and don't wanna work
It's not too crazy not to wanna slave you're not a jerk
Don't you doubt about your future plan
You're a knockout I'm your biggest fan
*Chorus*
Verse 3
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 okay to take a fall
If you have good intentions
As long as you give it all
You'll feel good inside
*Chorus*
The Ballad
The last selection in the ballgame.
Does never get a pass.
Not appreciated's 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 to see?
He's in pain and misery.
He's not going to the school-prom.
He said he had the flu.
Trumped-up excuses as he told mom.
- I'm safer here with you.
She told her son
- Someday, 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. x3
Yeah!
