Chorus:
Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
And I wonder do you wonder
While you’re sleeping with your whore
That sharing beds with history
Is like a-licking running sores
Forty shades of green yeah
Sixty shades of red
Heroes going… Continue reading 'Banana republic'»
Oh, ooh, oh, uh
Ooh, oh yea-yeah, oh, ooh, ah
You’ll be my New Year’s Day, my Valentine
Now I ain’t gonna stop until I make you mine
You’ll be my April Fool, my Mardi Gras
The music on my tongue when I sing fa la la
You’ll be my flower child, in the month of May
My sunny summer lover on my holiday
You’ll be my autumn leaves, my Halloween
The winter snow and… Continue reading 'This year'»

Wasting time all these years
Abusing dreams to live in sleep
In a nick of time you can throw away this way
The useless land can yield the bliss
You must drop the rain on the thirsty fields
In the nick of time you can reanimate your life
How about you
Have you all the things you need
How about you
Are you lucky and fullfilled
We’ve been… Continue reading 'Nick of time'»
Yell with the wind, though the wind won’t help you fly at all
Your back’s to the wall
Chain the sun, and it tears away and it breaks you as you run
You run, you run!
Behind the smile, there’s danger and a promise to be told:
You’ll never get old – ha!
Life’s fantasy – to be locked away and still to think you’re free You’re free, you’re free!… Continue reading 'Die young'»

No weapon formed against me shall prosper
I come up hard, but never cool
I didn’t make it, suga
Playin’ by the rules
I’ve come up hard, baby
Now I’m fine
I’m takin’ trouble, suga
Movin’ down the line
I come up… Continue reading 'Trouble man'»
Somewhere
Beyond the sea
Somewhere
Waiting for me
My lover stands
On golden sands
And watches the ships
That go sailin
Somewhere
Beyond the sea
She’s there
Watching for me
If I could fly
like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I’d go sailin’
It’s far
Beyond the stars
It’s near beyond the moon
I know
Beyond a doubt
My heart
Will… Continue reading 'Beyond the sea'»
1st Verse
Somebody said what are you doin’ down there
Trying to make me a living
All I want is to get my fair share
I’m pleading but nobody’s giving
Maybe I’m wrong, and I don’t see things clear
But I know how I feel after all the these… Continue reading 'Hit it'»
I’m tired of bars in Boston
Been feeling sodall in New York
Scared to come to Houston
And I’m tired of feeling sore
Don’t want to draw a line baby
Don’t want to set in no fight
I just wanna go in
A rock and roll… Continue reading 'Sunny days'»

They talked to the sister, the father and the mother
With a microphone in one hand and a chequebook in the other
AND THE CAMERA NOSES IN TO THE TEARS ON HER FACE
The tears on her… Continue reading 'Pills and soap'»
Human emotion, so hard to bear
searching for solace, too much to fucking bear
what if?
words that can tear you apart, eat away at your soul
what if?
push it back into the back of mind, can’t afford to ask yourself what if?
can’t live with the past, another restless night
can’t live with the past, no fucking end in… Continue reading 'Tear you apart'»
I’m so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I’m so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep a me waiting
All of the time what can I do?
It’s your life you… Continue reading 'Tired of waiting for you'»
I’m not a bad person,
I don’t drink, and I don’t kill.
I got no evil habits, and I probably never will.

Hey still staring little girl,
are you looking at or past me?
Worry.
Simple symptoms won’t leave you this underweight or red in the eyes.
No more rules, the ones we make don’t last the night.
So pick up the pieces.
Start again, start over tuesday morning.
Conscience clean.
