1.The Flame
This night came fast
Thought it never would
Thought you'de be the last
I could cling to when things got hard
In true or false need
Tonight I have a fire
That I want you to feed
The more I drink
The more I burn
The waste of nuclear waste
We know but never learn
And your lips are bitter sweet
Like yesterday's wine
But I'm 1.000 miles behind
My fire
Is licking you now
Will you put out or let it glow
Salt 'round the rim
I'll fill you to the brim
Fill you 'till you're as empty as me
I'll take you down
I'll bring you down
Untill we feel
We're lost and found
And at dawn when we awake
Our illusions start to break
And the flame has turned to ash
We're not lovers
Hardly friends
Thrown out
This endeavour ends
We're yesterday's trash
Trash for the flame
2.Late Show
Every night
I watch the late show
And you know
My only dream
Is to be there on the screen
I'd chat a bit with Dave
He'd listen to what I'd say
And read my name
From a hidden frame
And pretend that he knows me
He'd say I look
Like million bucks
Through he doesn't give a fuck
About who I am
About what I'm saying
Or what he thinks of me
I just want to be
On international TV
So a lot of people I don't know
Can't see me
I wish to God
I was on Dave Letterman
I wish to God
And you can't blame me
I wish to God
I was on Dave Letterman
He's the most powerfull
And comical man
On american TV, D
Television rules
The world we know
And Letterman
Sits at the throne
Till the break of Dave
When the late late show
Comes to take my Dave away
3.I'm Not
I don't believe you
You twist the truth
When you speak
Of my intelligence
You'd better make amends
Take it back
I won't exemplify
The vile lies
I know you told about me
During that time
I thought you were my friend
You and I were inseperable
But now you have become
Totally unacceptable
And I'm still harmless
As a cloud
But I'm not insane
Don't you call me mad
I warn you
I'm not
When we first met
You said you thought
I was the most clever
Guy you know now I don't know
What I've done wrong
What did I do ？
Just 'cause I eat some squirrel meat
Now and again
Doesn't mean that I have
A faulty brain
Don't call me stupid
I'm not
4.It Doesn't Smell Like Raspberries
Never thought bout
What would happen tomorrow
Always thought you and I
Would be okay
But now you've gone insane
And thrown it all away
For me and you
You don't know what you've got
Till it spits you in the face
Figured I'd be right here
And you'd always stay
But now you've gone insane
And thrown it down the drain
For me and you
It doesn't smell
It doesn't smell
Like raspberries
5.Nothing Is Planned
Steam
Rising up
Through the cracks in the curb
As if this whole town was ready to blow
And the one thing I know
Is that I can't hold it back
But tomorrow
A new sun will rise
To wipe the sand
Off my eyes
Leaving me
Earthbound
Nothing is planned
Ain't it hard to understand
That nothing is planned ？
Nothing is planned
The future has happened
Though no one planned it
We don't know where to blow
The future has happened
It's a newer present
It was up to you
It was up to Dew
On the lawn
Where my girlfriend used to sit
Where she sang for me
Not long ago
And the one thing I know
Is that I can't take her back
But maybe one day
She'll come clean
And wipe the dust
Out of my dreams
Leaving me
6.Beanstalk
Once upon a time
He saw this man on the street
With mud on his feet
And asked him what he sold
He said：
'I bring three magic beans
From far far away
They're the last ones
That I've got
If you plant them in a pot
A stalk will grow
Within the next couple of days
All that you have to do
Is make sure that
It doesn't grow wild
Along with you '
But was no holding back
It grew into the sky
For some considerable time
Higher and higher
Until he couldn't see the ground
Higher and higher
Never looked down
He left his property behind
All he cared about
Was to climb
His magic beanstalk friend
He'll climb it to the end
Till the end
7.American Girl
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
8.Asleep At The Wheel
All the trees are bending
We've been going way to fast
My girl's spilled her coffee
And the sun's not gonna last
Asleep at the wheel
About to reel
Asleep at the wheel
Automoronbile
This song is not for singing
I can't feel what I pray
But there's smoke and dust
Right down the lino
It's all coming this way
Asleep at the wheel
It's all too real
Our eyes are closed
We're driving blind
9.I Wanna Live In Outer Space
I wanna live in outer space
I'm a sample of human waste
Nothing ever goes my way
But that's the way I wanna stay
I've got coppers on my tail
Monsters in my head
Mommy's on the phone
Monsters from outer space and me
10.In God We Trust
Baby take me onto higher ground
Make me holy
Help me control it
Show me a piece of Heaven
Here on Earth
Say a prayer
For all your unlucky ones
Who've yet to find God
Big Bang
Life dawns with lust
Every sperm
Is sacred to us
In God we trust
My mind is set on the little death
And the magic of rebirth
Oh Lord
Thou who aret on thigh
Swollen be thy limb
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
In Heaven and on Earth
11.Mysterious Mike
There's this guy I know
He's been to some of our local shows
In bloody clothes
He's a psycho
He's got this whim：
Wants us to write a song about him
And simsalabim this is it
Mikey
Do it one more time for me
Did they know when your head
Hit the cement, Mikey ？
Wowee
Do it one more time for me
Did they know how it set you free ？
Will they ever let you be ？
There he was
A normal guy
Just like you and me
But when the music started
He turned out to be a psycho
He lives down the coast
And this guy wouldn't boast
But he's worth a toast
And a whole lot more
He's a mystery to me
But I wish I could be
Like Mikey
Mike's a stagediver
I know it's true
I've seen him black and blue
Sitting in an ambulance
He was so proud
So proud
12.Simple World
I used to be
The worrying kinda guy
Never know what to do
With my life
What do I really want to be ？
And would I get
A silly pretty little wife ？
But since I met you
I feel free
'cause I know you
You know me
Together we can have fun
There's no need for sorrow
There's always tomorrow
For a boy and a girl
Living in a simple world
Now I don't have to worry
Not anymore
As long as I'm with you
I feel fine, just fine
You're all I think of
All of the time
To hold you in my arms
And call you mine
13.Dirty Old Brown Jersey Cow
There's something wrong
With Rosabella
She's in a rut
And the grass ain't doing her good
The only problem is
She's overcome with sorrow
But it might be better tomorrow
Dirty little old brown Jersey cow
She's just a little cow
Rosie's bored cow disease is spreading
Like a cancer
No one knows how
No one has got the answer
As to why
Poor Rosie is a cow
Don't be sad or sorry
Don't be sad
Don't you worry
Don't be sad
You're better off than Rosie
Don't be sad at all
14.Scratch
Now it's time to finally sell out
It's the right time
For the big one
There is no doubt were through
Playing for weeks
For crowds of ton
We've lost good money on this band
But now we're back at scratch again
Now's the time to sell our souls
A foreign label, a full length CD
But we're the same guys
In the same clothes
Though one guy left us
Fortunately
We're six years on
Though rearranged, is it that strange
That we have changed ？
It's no big deal but this time we get paid
How does that make you feel ？
Cut some slack
Scratch your backs
We've started from scratch
Do you grudge us
One-roomers of our own ？
Paying rehearsal space ？
The band van loan ？
Is it 'not punk'
Having food to eat ？
Would our songs be better
If we lived out on the street
Now it's time for the CD to sell
But if it'll happen
Ain't no tongue can tell
And it doesn't do well
We're the stuck-up gits
We always were
After all
We've said and done
We're still in it
For the fun
It's weird how the years pass on
It feels like we've just begun
From scratch
15.Static Lice
Opposition
Tradition
Never trust a politician
It's been sung a million times before
And here's one more
Modern democracy is a smoking screen
Mass dictatorship
Join the sinking ship
Do you remember that calm summer night
When we held each other tight
and let it all pass by ？
There really was such a time
Before the static lice
Infested our eyes
We'll never win
Static lice
