Oh Boogie (Feat. Crowley)
I am a monomaniac, listening to the same song, over and over, day and night, two weeks long
Music’s my soulmate, to me she’s perfect, as long as I’m not deaf I’ll enjoy myself
It’s my passion, my addiction, Good sound without restriction
No prescription to sing this song, All day long, Oh sing along!
There’s no dosage recommendations when you choose your own medication
I can’t live without music, she nurses me when I’m sick, a guaranteed result, it’s no homeopathy
Music is my medicine, more addictive than heroin, When I’m in lack of adrenaline
Play this song again, Over and over again, It came from my heart to your brain
Sometimes I fear, the only thing that keeps me here are these songs and I’m never coming home son
I might of dipped from the scene like soft serve ice cream But the music never left my soul, GO!
I abuse the music; quarter jack attached to my vein Cause the tunes I feel the only thing that keeps me sane
Hold myself hostage with one fucking song Now I’m blasting Union Jack through these headphones
There’s no dosage recommendations when you choose your own medication
I can’t live without music, she nurses me when I’m sick, a guaranteed result, it’s no homeopathy
Music is my medicine, more addictive than heroin, When I’m in lack of adrenaline
Play this song again, Over and over again, It came from my heart to your brain
You are what you listen to, so I am awesome, I do hope so!
Energy, Glee, Hello Nasty, The Dirty Boogie, The soundtrack of my best parties!
One pill, two pills, three pills, four, these pills just fuck you up, shut the fuck up, pick it up
Bring in the medication I want my songs injection, sensations that turn my world upside down
Music is my medicine, more addictive than heroin, When I’m in lack of adrenaline
Play this song again, Over and over again, It came from my heart to your brain

Wordaholic
Confront the beast every day
Write, read and live your own screenplay
Word after word, page after page, reading is dope when life is not
Can’t stop, won’t stop, until I reach the final dot
In a dark pub or under the sun, I devour my book and lose track of time
From dusk to dawn, you can’t escape when you’ve been caught
Once I’m done with a chapter, I can’t wait to start another
I feel alive, it feeds my soul I love to be in this imaginary world
Gimme some books, some sun, some booze, some rock & roll, literary chills
Your life may be empty, let them feed you when you’re hungry
I’ve found my therapy in a library
Reading is like a drug, medicine without prescription
Thank you Irvine for everything and for this great addiction
It’s my daily pleasure, more than a treasure, the most exciting leisure
Once I’m done with a chapter, I can’t wait to start another
Gimme some books, some sun, some booze, some rock & roll
I’m hooked on the books, my brain’s on a loop, these stories fill my dreams every time I snooze
I’ve learned to let it go
Gimme some books, some sun, some booze, some rock & roll
I’m hooked on the books, my brain’s on a loop, these stories fill my dreams every time I snooze
Nothing is unreal, unless I stop dreaming, writing, smiling, reading and living
I’ve found my therapy in a library
Letters on sheet give me more thrills
Than TV screens
A few words can brighten my day and it does work every day

Blackout
I’m out tonight for some fun and action, celebration’s my part time addiction
I drink when I’m blue, I should not and it’s true, it makes me smile for nothing
When nothing makes me smile, it helps me to see on the other side, my glass, never empty
Life feels perfect in this moment, it’s total bliss, and instant perfection
You better not know how much I must drink to run away from my reality
Booze is a true friend, the reason why I can be lonely and happy
Partying & drinking prevent me from thinking about all the bad things, Fill my glass buddy
Not over the edge, Just a lil’ sip, Not over the edge, Just a lil’ sip
Don’t waste my time oh no baby, I do it so well by myself lately
I’m a moonshiner, a beer lover, most of the time a bad writer
Just a shadow of myself, I don’t wanna be anything else
I’m up for another drink, not the last probably the start of a long list
You better not know how much I must drink to run away from my reality
Booze is a true friend, the reason why I can be lonely and happy
Partying & drinking prevent me from thinking about all the bad things, Fill my glass buddy
Not over the edge, Just a lil’ sip, Not over the edge, Just a lil’ sip
Blackout blackout, my turn to pay the shots, let’s party baby, gin, martini, whisky
I cannot find another way to express my pain, Don’t blame me, that’s the rules of the game
I should slow it down if I want to stay sane, The idea swimming in my brain
I know you hurt me, I’d better drink tea
Partying & drinking prevent me from thinking about all the bad things, Drinks after drinks
Staying up all night, pretending I’m allright
You better not know how much I must drink to run away from my reality
Booze is a true friend, the reason why I can be lonely and happy

Let’s start a new war, spread terror again Spread terror, spread terror
Our planet is your playground, don’t wanna be part of your game
Spread terror, spread terror
Shoot, kill, destroy, but not in my name
Drop drop bombs, for a better future, your rules, your lies as only suture
This world is sick, that’s almost a culture, some starve, some binge, sad bulimia picture
Sad but true but you choose we pay, somehow you know we have nothing to say
You kill in our names and lie under oath, there’s no shame to stimulate growth
Morally wrong or right, the world is blind, the world is blind
This vicious society, a so called democracy, feels like modern slavery
Child labour to sew the clothes, poor workers to clean the homes
Exploitation for a stronger nation
Corruption, ambition, terror and violence, fuck you it’s over, people can’t stand it more
Resistance, persistence, I hope the day will come, the one that we were waiting for
Tear down the walls
Who sells the weapons, who feeds his greed, that kills your kids?
The boomerang comes back
Who pays the price when they roll the dice ? The boomerang comes back
Let’s start a new war, spread terror again Spread terror, spread terror
Our planet is your playground, don’t wanna be part of your game
Spread terror, spread terror
Don’t ever wanna be part of your nasty plan
Shoot, kill, destroy, but not in my name
I don’t play your rules

Fuck you, let me screw who I want, don’t judge me, please don’t tell me
What’s good or what is not for me, none of your business, I decide freely
What makes you think you can judge me, why do you think you are
better than me? We’re not the same, this ain’t no shame I’m what I am
Let me live, The way I want to
Your moral values, Pretending to reach out to others, Mind your own affairs
No matter the gender
Nevermind what you say, no matter what you think
My body belongs to nobody but me
Nevermind what you say, no matter what you think
My body belongs to nobody but me
My body belongs to nobody but me
We’re the fags, we’re the dykes, we’re Molly and Tommy
Pride for L.G.B.T. and unity

Feeling like nothing but a prey, I’m not ok, I’m not ready to obey
I’m ready to fight for the women’s rights to be respected,
But the road is still long, I need to find the strength for this battle and carry on
I know a lot of you feel the same, It’s such a shame
Not deaf not blind
Not deaf not blind
Not deaf not blind
Everything is meant to debase women
Abused and insulted, Threatened and neglected
Oppressed and ill treated, Ignored & Humiliated
No one reacts but everyone sees, cowardly men are guilty
Signs of a sad, sick society
I know a lot of you feel the same, It’s such a shame
Not deaf not blind
Not deaf not blind
Not deaf not blind
Everything is meant to debase women
I no longer want to feel afraid, Don’t have to feel like this no more
And still I hope for a big change, There’s such a lot of things to change

BitterTaste
I remember a time when I felt alright, a wife, a home, I was on cloud nine
They’ve made my day, lit up every day, will these feelings ever go away?
In the blink of an eye, your dreams collapse, and you relapse,
since that day I was fired, everything is falling fuckin’down
Cause you don’t know what it feels like, to shiver alone outside
Indifference makes my heart melt, although I’m frozen on the inside
Locked in the street, shuffling my feet
You can’t imagine what your brain can do when you’re thirsty and hungry too,
I could kill for a cozy bed or just a place to rest my head
Social tragedies happen every day, you’re in a dead end way
(when) there’s nothing left for you to cling to
I think of you, I wanna be you, I wanna hot meal every day
Winter is long when things go wrong, I’m waiting for better days
It’s like nowhere I feel at home
Even if everywhere is home
… rummage through your trash
rummage through your trash
If I stay one more day out here, I am sure I’m gonna disappear
It’s cold, deep inside my bones / Living outside ruins all my hopes
I feel like a shadow, I am tired and I’m so cold
Winter is long, endlessly long, Your heart is cold, cold as a stone
Everything goes wrong, It’s hard to stay strong, your heart is cold, Cold as a stone
Winter is long, Endlessly long, Everything goes wrong, Everything goes wrong

Don't Look Back
When you cant get any lower, the only way to go is up
When nothing ever seems to get better, we all feel the same, that our lives are vain
Depression strikes again, no use in blaming yourself, a lower self esteem always leads to distress
Don’t mope, things have to change Bounce back, things always rearrange
Don’t look back, keep your head up, stay strong when it’s hard to cope
The future’s always brighter than the past, the worst moments don’t ever last
Trouble happens everyday, stand your ground to keep them away
You’re free to choose to not be sad, you only live once, life is not so bad
Problems always come to an end, so don’t kill yourself
Don’t look back, keep your head up, stay strong when it’s hard to cope
The future’s always brighter than the past, the worst moments don’t ever last
We all have something we’d die for, a piece of happiness that we’re looking for
Stay focused on the best, and don’t waste yourself
Don’t look back, keep your head up, stay strong when it’s hard to cope
The future’s always brighter than the past, the worst moments don’t ever last
Don’t look back, keep your head up

Good bye summer, I will miss you, We had so much fun Under the blazing sun
I can’t believe you’ve left, now I feel all alone, Was it worth it to leave me blue?
How will I ever get through? I’m bored to death without you
We had the best time, us two, No one could save me but you
Summertime, summertime, I loved these times when we stayed up all night
Summertime, summertime
Your touch was soft and pure, like a dream come true, I still love you, yes I do
You’re my all time favorite, on top of my wishlist, I’ll marry you if you ask me to
Summertime, summertime, I loved these times when we stayed up all night
Summertime, summertime, Fell in love with you at first sight
Summertime, summertime
I’ll see you soon, my lovely summer

Night and day when you think that you need to leave this all behind, and clear your mind
Take it like a reminder, to pack your bags, and book a flight
Destination relaxation, no place for hesitation, follow your aspirations
Time waits for no one, get your things done, the world is yours if you want to
Realize your dreams, enjoy our travel theme, the world is your playground
From town to town, move back and forth, seated in your greyhound
Lightweight sleeping bag, stuff sacks, you know what it’s all about, when you walk around,
when you move around
No matter how long you’ve travelled in the wrong direction, you can always turn around
Change at the next station, on permanent translation to the perfect location
Even if you go astray, don’t worry ‘bout the next day, things always end up okay
You don’t ever expect what life could be, good surprises in every city
Discover and contemplate, Love, hug and celebrate, It’s worth it, the world as I see it
Realize your dreams, enjoy our travel theme, the world is your playground
From town to town, move back and forth, seated in your greyhound
Make the best of your trip, lose yourself in every street with the best people you will ever meet
Living life the easy way, oversleeping every day, only woken up by sunrays
Travel and change, and make my dreams come true, that’s what I do and so should you!
Fill your life with good vibes Some feelings can’t be described, enjoy the journey of life
Even if you go astray, don’t worry ‘bout the next day, things always end up okay
One trip leads to another, travelling further and farther, to the perfect location
Everything that has a beginning comes to an end. Everything dies one day, enjoy
what you can win over death. No matter how long you stay or what you do, it’s the
trip. Yeah it’s the trip man. It’s never too late, It’s never too late to find yourself. If
you want something done right, do it yourself!

YouAnd I
I’m noisy when you’re quiet, I criticize when you praise
I refuse when you accept, I follow my line while you compromise
I sleep when you wake up early, You sleep when I’m drinking whisky
I’m dancing when you’re seated, Oh you and IThe Robocop Kraus, Wavves
You walk your dog, I play with my cat, You watch when I act
You give up when I’m still standing, You feel big when I’m small
It takes all sorts to make a world, But maybe you’re not essential
You claim we get what we deserve, You get on my nerves
I laugh when you cry, I succeed when you try
You’re so down when I feel high, I love when you lie
Oh you and I, I wear in black when you’re in white
I’m true when you’re fake, I swear when you pray
You’re proud, I’m ashamed, you’re heaven and I’m hell
You buy when I sell, you’re busted when I’m saved by the bell, by the bell
I’ll never be you and you’ll never be me
You’re sad and so ordinary
You’re an asshole and I am not, you think you’re smart, I think you’re not
My nights are funnier than your days, we’re different in so many ways
I enjoy my life when you work hard, you’re no fun I don’t want you around
I party when you go to bed

Bones
I often think about the person that you would become,
But it’s a waste of time cause my friend you’re gone, and since you’re gone life’s a bit less fun
Time eases pain, words can do so too, I was so down when we lost you
I wish you were still around
You left a place empty
Like a party with no whisky
A wilted flower, a broken dream, you meant a whole lot to our team
A void that never will be filled, a pain that won’t ever be healed
The world has changed, not for the best, conformism has won the game
We see the same brands everywhere, I see the same bands everywhere
From NYC to Tokyo, overwhelmed with commercial logos
Standardized music for the masses, if you were still here we’d kick some asses
World is so sad below now
Hipsters play on my stereo
Not a pretty picture, what about the future?
Mediocrity is taking over, we expected something better
We all miss you back here
You left a place empty, like a party with no whisky
A void that never will be filled, a pain that won’t ever be healed
We are we are not all the same
Originality’s not a shame, Enjoy your life Outside the frame
I wish you were still around
You left a place empty
A fuckin’ place empty
There was a time when music meant something. Punk was a sound, a working class alarm. Call
it rebellion, revolution, but never fashion. Fuck these clichés, fuck these kids and their dress
codes. Punk means freedom you probably missed or misunderstood something. This world
is sad, apathetic and amnesic. I’m bored of hearing the same songs, from the same bands,
see the the same brands in every fuckin city all around the world. Capitalism breeds conformity,
and we’re all guilty, conformism is capitalism’s weapon. Everybody watches and likes
the same movies, reads the same books, it’s so boring, don’t forget we are fucking unique!
