No Manual

There is a hex, misunderstood and complex
Love is a hex, misunderstood and complex
You can't always get what you want
Just like mister jagger's song
Can't always get what you want
Mistaking the address, where feelings are pointless,
Feeling so useless, when you hit on the wrong sex
You can't always get what you want (no you can't)
You can't always get what you want
We are love fools cuz we try to find the rules
We have been fooled cuz in fact there are no rules.
There's no manual to tell you how to behave
There is no manual and you can't follow the wave, you know!
Just cause you're not typical - don't mean you're not emotional
Because you're not physical - don't mean you're not emotional
Love fools cuz we try to find the rules
We have been fooled in the end there are no rules.
Because you're not typical - don't mean you're not emotional
Just 'cause you're not physical - don't mean you're not emotional
Because... just because...
Because... don't mean no...
I didn't love you the usual way
No I didn't love you the physical way
I wanted to keep you, and I wanted to stay
But I couldn't cherish you the usual way
There's no manual to tell you how to behave
There is no manual and you can't follow the wave, you know!
Just cause you're not typical - don't mean you're not emotional
Because you're not physical - don't mean you're not emotional
Love fools cuz we try to find the rules
We have been fooled in the end there are no rules.
There's no manual to tell you how to behave
There's no manual and you can't follow the wave, you know!

Roundabout

I can't decide
Stuck in a roundabout
Between left and right
Between straight and back
I can't decide
I am prey to doubt
Between left and right
Between straight and back
Who can see where they are going to?
What they are going through?
Somebody help me cuz I'm stuck like glue
Stuck in the middle dunno what to do! (tell me what to do)
I need to unwind
The mess in my mind
I need to unwind
This roundabout of mine
I am prey to doubt
Stuck in a roundabout
And if I can't get out
'Tis cuz it don't turn round
I can't decide
Stuck in a roundabout
Between left and right
Between straight and back
I can't decide
I am prey to doubt
Between left and right
Between straight and back
Somebody help me cuz I'm stuck like glue
Stuck in the middle dunno what to do
Somebody help me cuz I'm stuck like glue
Stuck in the middle dunno what to do

Game Boy
04:34
|

It's the story of a game girl
She wants a buddy game boy
Sobbing on my shoulder
Cuz he don't wanna be her toy
She just wanna play, play
But he said no way, no way
She just wanna play, play
But he ran away, away
(Game boy-Boy trap
Trap or die-Die trying)
What a hell of a mess
Cuz the boy never said yes
And now the damage is done
Cuz the girl has come undone
Acting crazy as a bug
The girl pulled the power plug
Without electricity
She ran out of battery
She didn't play hard to get
But he stood right by the gun
She is slow on the uptake
Nothing new under the sun
She wanted to play, play
But he said no way, no way
She wanted to play, play
But the boy is gay

Sick'n tired of waiting
I don't wanna wait for nothin-nothin'nothin'
Fuckin' bored of tex-pec-ta-tin'
I'm lookin' like a clown
'n I'm going down.
I'm tossin' turnin' awake in my bed
My thoughts are blackberry jammin' - in my head
Headache is all I get
In my head, headache is all I get
Gotta get up to find an asssspirin...
Sick'n tired'n sick'n tired of waiting
I don't wanna wait for nothin-nothin'nothin'
Fuckin' bored of tex-pec-ta-tin'
I'm lookin' like a clown
'n I'm going down, down, down
I'm on my way to the bathroom and
There's such a mess that I'm stumblin' in
Reaching the kitchen
I changed my mind instead I'll have a drink
...Or two ... maybe three!
It's four o'clock in the morning
Drowning my anger with gin
Wait a minute...
That's my phone ringing!
I'm done with clown-looking anyway
Too drunk to pick it up
Too drunk to pick it up
Too drunk to pick it up
Sick'n tired'n sick'n tired of waiting
I don't wanna wait for nothin-nothin'nothin'
Fuckin' bored of tex-pec-ta-tin'
I'm lookin' like a clown
'n I'm going down

Falling Up
05:30
|
|||
Let's take off (today)
Cuz we don't know (cuz we don't know)
What tomorrow
Will be made of (baby)
Let's travel the world -- On the back of a bird
Ride like the wind -- With no gazoline
Hit the highway -- To the bright sunny rays
Consume our wings -- And we'll be falling up falling up
Let's travel the world -- And the seven seas
Talk about the birds -- The birds and the bees
Get lost for word -- Or shoot the breeze
Baby say the word -- And we'll be falling up falling up
Falling up falling up...
Let's take off (today)
Cuz we don't know (cuz we don't know)
What tomorrow (what tomorrow-what tomorrow)
Will be made of (baby)
Wanna reach the sun, wanna reach the stars
Everything up, up above in the skies
Falling upwards and I still want more
Falling like i never done before
(x4)
I don't mind the blow when I reach the sun
Although I know that my feathers will burn
Falling upwards dont need 'em anymore
Falling where I never been before
(x4)

Catch 22
04:05
|
|||
Keep it simple keep it true
I wanna gamble, gamble on you
If you can't make no promises
At least take opportunities
Stop looking so drowsy
I'm feeling fuckin' lousy
Stop looking so drowsy
I'm feeling fuckin' lousy
Got a problem, got a problem
Is it a catch 22 -- I think I'm falling for you
Got a problem, got a problem
Is it a catch 22 -- Don't break my heart in two
Got a problem, got a problem
Is it a catch 22 -- What do you want me to do
Got a problem, got a problem
I think of you too often you too often
you don't see it do you, I'm trying to hit on you
you don't see it do you, what do you want me to do?
Got a problem, got a problem
I think of you too often
Got a problem, got a problem
I'm not the way you like them
I come to you on a silver plate
I got nothing under the belt
I'm a fool but maybe you'll like it
Don't be cruel baby touch my tits
If I take you to the floor and ask you to dance
If we get real close can I stand a chance
And maybe if I try with a twist of the hips
I can make you high and you can lick my lips

Shit Talker
04:05
|
|||
I'm just about to cross the street
You think you got the right to fuss with me?
I'm waiting for the light to turn green,
And you just come and shout just for free
Old woman at the traffic light
'Think you know the world by heart
One more harpy, you're one too many
Don't thank me, you'll go down in history
Don't speak a word (don't speak a word)
Cuz you're a shit talker (back stabber)
Better keep your wicked tongue - to yourself
Keep your tongue, pack it up, keep your tongue to yourself
Keep your tongue, pack it up, keep your tongue to yourself
Pack up your gun (pack up your gun)
Cuz you're a shit talker (back stabber) you
You can shoot a lot of bullets
But you never hit the target
Keep your gun, pack it up, keep your gun to yourself
Keep your gun, pack it up, keep your gun to yourself
Old woman at the traffic light
You think you know the world by heart
One more harpy, you're one too many
Don't thank me, you'll go down in history
You better stop you better stop
Can't hit me with your best shot
You better stop you better stop
Can't hit me
Can't hit me with your best shot
So you think I'm unconscious and you think I am dumb
Just because I am young and I got my skates on
So you're not even sure if I'm a girl or a boy
Just because I am sporty and I wear my hair short
You take the liberty of calling me names
Why don't you stand it when I do the same?
So you think I am a rebel and you think I am blind
I'm just against labels and people of your kind

Where Does It Go Wrong
05:23
|

Where do I belong? Where does it go wrong?
You said--
Can I buy you a drink
You were there smiling
In your tight blue jeans
Where do I belong? Where does it go wrong?
You said--
C'mon into my car
Let's go to a bar
Where it's nice and dark
Where do I belong? Where does it go wrong?
Where do I belong? Where does it go wrong, Where does it go wrong?
You had the blackest black eyes
And I melted like ice, and I melted like ice
You had the blackest black eyes
And I melted like ice, like ice, like ice
Where do I belong? Where does it go wrong?
Where do I belong? Where does it go wrong?
Where do I belong? Where does it go wrong?
Where do I belong? Where does it go wrong, Where does it go wrong?
We got into your car
We went to that bar
It was nice and dark
You bought me a drink
Brought the glass smiling
In your tight blue jeans
You had the blackest black eyes
And I melted like ice, well I melted like ice
You had the blackest black eyes
And I melted like ice, like ice, like ice
We spent the night chatting on a sofa
Drinking beers and coca-colas
Tried to hide my shyness behind my glass
While I drowned myself into the black of your eyes
Then you, you touched my cheek
with the back of your hand
Felt so weak deep down inside,
well I felt the thrill running down my spine
Oh, down my spine, up and down my spine...
What should I do now? Tell me, what should I do now?
What now, what next, where to?
What am I supposed to do?
Feel like jumping all around, feel like breaking down and cry
Feel like jumping all around, breaking down and cry, what should I do now?
What shoud I do now? Uh--What should I do now?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me where does it go wrong
--all wrong, so wrong, so wrong....
Ooh Ooh
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me where does it go wrong
--all wrong, so wrong, so wrong....
Ooh Ooh

(Not) Sorry
05:30
|

When you are away from me
You know after all in the end
I really think I could forgive
And then we could be friends again
When I am away from you
I really think I should loosen up
I really think I am way too cruel
-- honest I do
But when you're close to me
Here it comes again
It is growing on me
Don't wanna be your friend
And I don't feel sorry
For treating you like shit
And I don't feel sorry
Cuz you was such a prick
Bye bye for good
I need to get this off my chest
for my own good
I don't want to see you face
Cuz I choke
I explode
I can't store
nothing more

Gross Beat
05:13
|

Slow down
Turn around
Get down low
Touch and go
Getting closer
Rub your shoulder
You lay on the floor
Don't you want more?
Wrap cut crash, there's a joker in the pack
Who's gonna burn down the house
I'm on the hot tin roof, you know I am the cat
Who's gonna fright away the mouse
If you want my number, it is tattooed on my shoulder
Can I help you fix your pen because I think you need a hand
Babe don't get me wrong, did the cat get your tongue?
Situation makes me sweat now gimme time to catch my breath
I'm running to you
but you won't let me in
want to break through
I'll make you give in
You hit me first
I hit you back
They gonna get us
Don't you like it like that?
(don't you like it like that)
(don't you like it like that)
(don't you like it like that c'mon)
(don't you like it like that)
Don't be nice
I won't say it twice
I want you to talk Derby to me
Don't be nice
I won't say it twice
C'mon and talk Derby to me
Gonna catch your wrist
Put My hand on your hips
Then I push you away
and I pull back to stay
