I know what's going on inside your crooked mind
I've been around too long to know about your kind
I made you feel I was a victim of your prey
I let you tie me down though I can get away
Don't you lead me into temptation
Don't deceive me into temptation
You gave so much to me you left me feeling numb
So full of emptiness from stealing what you've done
How can you bear to stand the life you try to live
A sad and broken heart is all you've left to give
Don't you lead me into temptation
Don't deceive me into temptation
A slave to your touch
I can't run cause I'm blind
What About Me (Shannon Noll)
Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says...
CHORUS:
What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give
Well, there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop
She's been waiting back there, waiting for a dream,
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well, she's not too proud, to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams...
CHORUS
More than you give...
Take a step back and see the little people
They might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:
"What about me?"
And now I'm standing on the corner, all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...
CHORUS
What about me?
What about me?
What about....me?
Megalopolis (Acid Drinkers)
Metropolis creates mob and mob creates its face
Megalopolis builds barriers, you die under their stress
The mob creates its atmosphere:
Bitches, drugs, guns for sale.
I'm a stranger in the city, in its rotten part
I will destroy the barriers and If I win
I'll get lucky!
The mob watchfully guards the wall
It's very hard to get through!
Volunteers in the army's rows, essence of slums and stench
Dead body of a city - alienation and water, the beginning of a job
Killers from dirty streets, victims of the city's creation
Fifty bucks for one head, they are not afraid of this task
To approach them is a risk, conscience is taboo
To escape them has no sense, losers in the system abound
Metropolis creates the gang and the gang defines the city
Parasites love this corpse, killers in the army's rows!
How many people did you kill?
About two hundred and fifty
How many murders did you see?
About two or three thousand
Tell me man, did you use choppers?
Yeah, we used choppers to torment!!!
And I wait for the darkness to set myself free...
Brand New Jones (Robin Thicke)
Some like to keep heat on
Some never hot enough
See I sleep with nothing on
Cuz I'm always burnin up
But we all wanna try
To see each other's side
And I'll try
Til she takes my pillow
mmm
She'll say I'm lucky
She'll say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
see see
but everyday
ain't the same
ain't the same
ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
when I get time to play
I've got a brand new jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang alone
Some like a sweet romance
and some wanna travel far
but I like a three point stance
and I hate to drive my car
But I'd go round the world
Just to please my girl
and I'll fly
if she takes my pillow
Ooh
She'll say I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
but everyday
I feel like a puppy
when I get time to play
I've got a brand new jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, yeah, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
So why don't I just
save time and reveal now
Cuz sooner or later she'll
know the deal
She'll wonder why
the bed jumps so high
when she sleeps at night
oh yeah yeah
oooh
Tells me I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without it
see see
but everyday
I.. no...
ain't the same
ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
I've got this brand new jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
you know it
I've got this brand new jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
you know it
I've got this brand new jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
you know it
The Night That Never End (The Cat Empire)
One night when I was sleeping
a gypsy lady sneak into my head
and she said
Ive got a bottle of schnapps
lets get to know each other drinking
a belly full of laughs
and some thoughts that beyond thinking
lets play a game of those cards my friend
because tonight Im going to show you
how the night it never never never ends
Morning is
one thousand dreams away
and our expedition
telling us to stay
so stay we will weve got that gypsy lady
perched upon our bow
and the empire ship be heading
where the wild ones they are now
oh how the gods look down
and frown at those who never stood said
my name is no-one
then went a little mad
And from time to time
she sneaks back inside me and she say
lucky sing the secrets that I taught you always
replied as long as I am living
I never forget
that the sun is never shining and it never set
so lets make some fire and smoke and then
well go exploring in the night
that never never never end
Morning is
one thousand dreams away
and our expedition
telling us to stay
so stay we will weve got that gypsy lady
perched upon our bow
and the empire ship be heading
where the wild ones they are now
oh how the gods look down
and frown at those who never stood said
my name is no-one
then went a little mad
Ive got a tingle in my back
and something sparking in my toes
I get the shivers through my body
when that trumpet blows
and while asleep I am awake
and while awake I am dreaming
before I start to think
I am scheming
to start a party tonight my friends
because tonight Im going to show you
how the night it never never never ends
1001 (The Cat Empire)
Parking Inspector
- just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
Went to my friends
when I found a fine beat
cos I like to play a rhythm
where the rhythm plays me
play it all day
on a balcony above the street
where old Franky and me we
shuffle with our feet
And old man Goergie
takes some sugar with his tea
when hes stirred by a melody
of hands moving easy
you see it reminds him
dreams by the sea
where the breeze blows
underneath that island tree
And we played til the playing
Gave us the munchies
then we played in the kitchen
made the easy gods happy
cos we left them a little chilli-special
and some chocolate we eat because its sweet
when I leave I am smiling
at the things I havent done
oh I havent broke a sweat
and I havent had to run
for the list of one-thousand
-and-one that does plague me
on some days
when the sun rays dont come
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
[wont let you wreck my fun]
When I get to my car
I am faced with a sight
that is strange and its sad
and its mad its not right
theres one thousand and one
spaces free but I see
that he find me guilty
of the time over fee
Now I know why my mother
why my mother warned me
said you might be lucky
but know nothing comes for free
she is right - entirely
cos the ticket paid the song
that I sing to this beat
Parking inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah parking inspector
wont let you wreck my fun
cos when I pay for my ticket
I wont curse and despise
no ill run into the girl
with the slinky blue eyes
then my list of one thousand and one
will remain
I had plans to get it done
but now my plans they have changed
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
just listen to the bass and the funky drums
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
grow a little more
but ah parking inspector
you wont believe what I saw
on the back of my ticket
with invisible type
was a map to the place
with one thousand delights
and a key that was one to that
spot by the sea where the breeze
blows underneath that island tree
Mutiny (Motograter)
Mixed agendas
You've got the right to remain defenseless!
Trained not to think
Patriotic?
Gun, and a badge and you've got a fascist!
Slaves, to the kings
Wave your flag
Now, everyone swears that they stand for something
I'll never see
All you're lying
You think by simply hiding it changes?
I've reached my brink
No, is the word you understand?
No is the word you fear!
No, is the word you'll comprehend?
So No is the word you'll hear
I've never really needed!!
I've never really cared!!
I've never really trusted!!
No one was really there!!
Everyone, can see?
Everyone, but me?
Shadow boxing
You bite the hands, that buy you your finance!
Numbers and ink
Politicians
Backing the top percent of the nation?
You're not in sync!
No, is the word you understand?
No is the word you fear!
No, is the word you'll comprehend?
So No is the word you'll hear
I've never really needed!!
I've never really cared!!
I've never really trusted!!
No one was really there!!
Why!
Everyone, can see?
Everyone, but me?
Propaganda
The truth has emerged, the lies are retracting!
Your time is done
Compensation
Don't wanna change!
But we're gonna change it!
Under the gun!!!
Chasing Heather Crazy (Guided By Voices)
Trailing off the likes of it
She likes it when it grows
Sending out a candidate
She's sinking her foes
Peaking out then leveling
Wherever it goes
And her mother will greet you
And a river will reach you
Breaking out to make you slave again
Chasing Heather crazy
Chasing Heather crazy
Making sure that all the world is coming down
All the world is coming down on her
Anywhere I want to
And if you want to come too
We'll go down where
All the girls are stumblin' round
All the world is crumbling down around her
Staring out from otherworldly windows painted red
Doesn't have to listen to the voices in your head
That's a different lie
Do you remember what was said?
The Favourite (D-Side)
Goodbyes are so sad so blue
Girl my life won't be the same without you
No one else could love you in the way I do
If anybody hurts you
I'll break in two
I tell you.
(Chorus)
The favourite won't win
Not in every race it's running
I still believe I'll get lucky
That my time will come
When I get to hold you closer than anyone
Some people
They'll promise you things
they'll show you credit cards and Gucci rings
When you realise that something more is missing
When you open up your eyes
That's where I'll be
(Chorus)
The favourite won't win
Not in every race it's running
I still believe I'll get lucky
That my time will come
When I get to hold you closer than anyone
I can't believe girl, the way you look today
Every time I need you, your so fay away
I hate to see you caught up in the chase
I don't want to finish here forever
In second place
(Chorus)
The favourite won't win
Not in every race it's running
I still believe I'll get lucky
That my time will come
When I get to hold you closer than anyone
How long, long is the road
To make you love me
Love me again
Tell me
How long, long should I wait
What would it take to make you
Come back again
(Chorus)
The favourite won't win
Not in every race it's running
I still believe I'll get lucky
That my time will come
When I get to hold you closer than anyone
The favourite won't win
Not in every race it's running
I still believe I'll get lucky
That my time will come
When I get to hold you closer than anyone
Insect (Voivod)
Mindless, now you will do as you're told
Restore, worship the god of control
Victims, helpless
New Slave, brain dead
Betray thy god
Facing endless damnation
Prepare, we'll have a new world our own
Regress, withdraw and you'll burn alone
Maintain respect
Obey Insect
Twisting your fate
Facing endless salvation
People from the outside
Craving for utopia
Nowhere near perfection
Future desolation
Join in now, join in now
Join in now, join in now
Promising heaven, celestial home
Inside your head now, insect has grown
There is no problem to analyse
Leaving this wasteland towards the sky
No need to worry, you're in the zone
Mind control fury, whispering tone
Overbearing mani**tion
Impure, sadness, manic depression
Victims, helpless
New slave, brain dead
Betray thy god
Facing endless damnation.
