I What’s Happening?
Now as I walk down the street
Dramatic stroke of heat
I tumble down half-dead, half-alive
The ambulance picks me in a jive
All jingle, car-crash, I’m still alive.
Unconscious, robbed, and beaten up with bats
Awake, lucky stripe, I find a black top hat
A suave gentleman
in the convent I ran
I met some nuns who looked very horny
I ask them if they have some moves to show me.
They hit me in the tummy and threw me out
Now I roam the streets again to the south.
And then I end up butt naked in the desert
And go about the sands
I look for myself with an arrow in my heart
All I find is hunger on an up chart.
I spot a magical desert fish
“Hi, I’m Timmy. I’m a magical fish. I’m gonna fulfill three”
Hunger satisfied but I now I’m magically in the ocean
I’m drowning and that’s very unfortunate
Jellyfish around me, jellyfishen raft
I sail in way very daft…
Fiji coast ahoy
Seagulls Oy
Luxurious hotels
And women like gazelles
The wind in my hair
The bounce in my walk and flair
Taking joy in a swim off-shore
And suddenly a peck
a shark subtly nibbles at my leg
I scream, I shriek, I toss and turn
In terrible pain I twist and burn
Cosmic interference
Slash alien savior appearance
I’m saved hooray
and tested on with a San Mai
No toes and no fingers
Thrown away among
Garbage and splinters
All back to the beginning
Ready, down for some spinning
Point in travel? No point,
Just roll another joint
Cause it’s fun, and fun
Is all cultural stunt

I’m Not Fun
I am a microphone abuser drowned in misery
I whip a middle finger out for all the world to see
‘Cuz I don’t really dance to rubbish beats
Baby, I’ll always be warming your next boyfriend’s seat
And I don’t talk to people who can barely read
Let alone do let them have mind-numbing chats with me
So you can turn your back now and let me be
Cuz everybody tends to do it eventually
Why are you looking at me like there’s something to see?
Girl, I am not fun.
Now girl, my skin ain’t even close to thick
I don’t go to discos just to score some chick
And it really pisses me off that you would think
A guy is worth it if he’s muscular and slick
Girl, I don’t take pills and I don’t do drugs
I don’t get drunk and I don’t get fucked up
Yes, I live in the past I’m looking for love
But not the kind you get with your pants off
So why are you looking at me like there’s something to see?
Girl, I am not fun.
So why are you looking at me like there’s something to see?
Girls only want fun, don’t they?
I don’t use social networks ‘cuz I have a life
I’m pretty damn fine with, I don’t wanna live inside
A mecca of hypocrisy where all fools can unite
Standing tall, none for all who’ve lost their sight
No, girl, I ain’t rude to women I’d treat you right
I may be a little funny but you may soon find
I’m not really fun, girl, no that ain’t a bluff
I’m just every girl’s choice when they’ve had enough
So why are you looking at me like there’s something to see?
Girl, I am not fun
So why are you looking at me like there’s something to see?
Girls only want fun, don’t they? - Track Name: Dancing Girl

Dancing Girl
Late night – I wanna take you home
‘Cuz sometimes I feel like I’m alone
And I don’t need no-one to tell me what love is
Late night, a wish you didn’t have to go
And tonight I’m walking home alone
And I don’t need no-one to tell me what woe is
No, I don’t need anyone to tell me which song to sing
Dress slide from my skin and to my bones
Until my heartbeat’s not alone and it’s
Alright if you stay and if you go
As long as I have your love tonight
Sometimes songs are not enough
Some lines were meant to be shown
Spindle-like lovers in a sacred ever bond
Undress to uncover undress the final flaunt
No, no-one should ever take us apart
Take us apart and break my heart
Cherish what’s mine, protect what’s yours
Cheri-Cherish our love behind forbidden doors
And I don’t need no-one to tell me what love is
Dress slide from my skin and to my bones
Until a heartbeat’s not alone and it’s
Alright if you stay and if you go
As long as I have your love tonight
Dancing girl
Dance your way throughout the night
Like a raindrop in the sky and it’s
Moonlight from the summit of my soul
And the tip of your breasts… I mean nose - Track Name: My High School

My High School
Ooo, this is my high school song
My high school, man, was not all that bad
It was alright even when shit hit the fan
I mostly got A-s without even trying
And people liked me even though I was shy and
I had a girlfriend, I could play the guitar
And I had my band; Grainsman had his own car
Ooo, this is my high school song
My high school, man, was not at all bad
My teachers were cool – very few of them mad
I didn’t get bullied ‘cuz I went to the gym
They didn’t call me fat for the same reason
And now we’re graduating, yeah, we’ll go far away
But if it was up to me…. Nope, not doing that again
We had our problems we had our fun but now it’s gone
A new beginning comes our way
Ooo, this was my high school song
Ooo, this is my high school song - Track Name: Flume Interlude

Somebody Else
Now I’m looking for somebody else
I’m seeking wile I wait
I’m looking for somebody else
And the thought won’t go away
Now I’m looking for somebody else
To take my hand and stay
As I’ve reached a bitter end
Won’t a beginning come my way?
Well, I know that she’s leaving
She must have good reasons
Into freedom I’m falling
Like her pictures from my wallet
Now I’m looking for somebody else
In all honesty I pray
That when all is said and done
She’ll look back and wish she’d stayed
And when the tears are running down
Running down all over her face
In the middle of the ocean
Beholding a toxic potion
The stricken coup de grace
But friendship is for life
And when all voices make no sound
I hope you have no regrets
In the middle of a down
Unloading the missing crown
And as we are reborn
The rivets are shorn
Well, I know that she’s leaving
She must have good reasons
Into freedom I’m falling
Like her pictures from my wallet
Now that I’m grieving
All I have is my reason
In freedom I’m lost when
When summer turns to fall and
Well, I know that she’s leaving
She must have good reasons
Into freedom I’m falling
Like her pictures from my wallet
Now I’m looking for somebody else
To take my hand and stay
As I’ve reached a bitter end
Won’t a beginning come my way? - Track Name: Pictures

Pictures
Wake up, it's half past three
Lay my head back down
Thinking of you and me
In the pale light it’s not so hard to see
Pictures of you and pictures of me
And I’d scale the highest wall
And I’d ring the loudest bell
`Cause tonight,, yeah, tonight
Tonight I’ve got something to tell
A faded smile upon a photograph
Reminds me of what we could’ve had
I can’t see Clear without you by my side
I can’t see, pictures of you and pictures of me
And I’d scale the highest wall
And I’d ring the loudest bell
`Cause tonight,, yeah, tonight
Tonight I’ve got something to tell
You...
Tell you
And I’d scale the highest wall for you
I’d ring the loudest bell, too
I won’t stop until I get through
Pictures of me and pictures of you - Track Name: On My Own

On My Own
A Face on a pretty picture
From his early photographs
He was he is and he’s not
Her memories overlap
All the people
All the scenes
The coin flips
And brings her down
So now he’s lost at sea
Lost somewhere in-between the forgotten
The words of a song
That nobody sings
She covers her eyes
With tears underneath
Please don’t worry, lover
Because not all is how it seems
I’d reach for anything
Absorbing foreign dreams
Now I’m on my own
But I am not alone
She buries sorrow in love
As the days turn to years
And she soon discovers
What comes next is what she fears
Please don’t worry, lover
Because not all is how it seems
I’d reach for anything
Absorbing foreign dreams
Now I’m on my own
But I am not alone
And when the choir sings
And when the church bell rings
When you’re on your own
You won’t be alone
Well…well… He made her smile and her knees felt weak
He took her hand as neither one would speak
She said I love you boy I think I really do
Then he smiled back and said I love you too
I’d reach for anything
Absorbing foreign dreams
Now I’m on my own
But I am not alone
And when the choir sings
And when the church bell rings
When you’re on your own
You won’t be alone - Track Name: Imperfect World

Imperfect World
On a cliff, on the edge
On a distant foreign shore
Dredge the past and look ahead
We’ll be free forever more
Standing tall on a broken wall
Moments past will never last
With heavy hearts and broken feet
We won’t concede defeat
In a storm of rage and grace
Wipe my fist from your pretty face
Through the eye of the perfect storm
I see everything I can’t ignore
On a cliff, on the edge
On a distant foreign shore
Dredge the past and look ahead
We’ll be free forever more
Our sandy beach
Your words will never reach
Because the lies you’ve told
We’ve heard a thousand fold
We have no guide, no rules applied
Your full access has been denied
Reject the weak, embrace the bold
Cast the world in a perfect mold
Raise your flags and start a war
Create a place to call your own
Lift your heads, make us proud
Shout for freedom, shout it out loud
And when a fire burns
And when the table turns
We’ll take back our lives
And your injustice dies - Track Name: Fixing The Sun

Fixing the Sun
Am I different – no I’m the same
Still have got no-one to blame
For the story of my woe
As I walk down memory lane
I wonder if you do the same
And do you find your way back home
‘Cuz I don’t
And it all goes away
With my plea for you to stay
‘Cuz now I’m up fixing the sun
I’m sorry, it ain’t O.K.
Have Got nothing else to say
‘Cuz now I’m up fixing the sun
Come, sunny rainy day
When it all goes away
And I don’t need you to stay awake
But when I
Love, when I see your face
You make me want to stay
And leave the sun behind
But, honey, I’ve been wrong before
But, Honey, you’ve been wrong before
Honey, we’ve been wrong before
I’m sorry - it ain’t O.K.
Have Got nothing else to say
‘Cuz now I’m up fixing the sun
And it all goes away
With my plea for you to stay
Cuz now I’m up fixing the sun
Honey, I’ve been wrong before
And it all goes away
With my plea for you to stay
Cuz now I’m up fixing the sun
I’m sorry - it ain’t O.K.
Have Got nothing else to say
‘Cuz now I’m up fixing the sun
‘Cuz now I’m up fixing the sun - Track Name: Lullaby

Lullaby
Sleep, little baby
No-one is to hurt you
Sweet little baby
Twisted arms askew
Infant vexatious
Relish divine repose
Being salacious
Watch the Nethers bear snow
Livid – raise ire
Unicorns malignant,
Elysian science
My corpse shall be consigned…
