All bark and no bite

You have more self love than Saddam Hoessein had
You're all bark and no bite
But I know the insides of a head like that
You're trying to tempt me to fight
Your imagination goes far beyond oblivion
I'm sure you lie about a thing or two
I know what your big mouth is living on
Your tough act is too easy to see through
No woman can turn this prince into a king
Cause you need all your love for yourself
There's no point in sharing
Funny, witty remarks only go skin deep
At some point your big mouth becomes boring

Game queen

You're gonna need that angel on your shoulder
I'm gonna make you go crazy
You're gonna think "I've got her"
But you barely know me
I'm gonna drive you insane
I'm gonna make you mad
You had no idea woman could be so vain
And it could hit you so bad
I know how to play this game
I could make you eat out of my hand
I know no guilt, conscience or shame
I'm the psychologist and you're all just men

Freezing tears

I said forever and I lied
I said I'd never give up and I tried
And I never thought I'd feel
That it's over and it's real

I called you my one and only
But you're only not the one
You're my best friend until the end
The end of what we once begun

And I never thought I'd hurt you
You're the sweetest all the way
Sometimes I think I don't deserve you
Too demanding and against the grain

I hate to say I hope you'll find her
The one that fits you like a glove
The woman that makes you forget me
The one that will bring you true love

I am crying as I write this
My tears are freezing on my skin
I hate the way it is
But I have to realize I can't change a thing

I hate to say "all for the best"

I try to tell myself
I know all about mental health
I could cry myself a headache
But it won't bring the feeling back

I know what's at the other end of the rainbow
I thought it was you, but I found myself there
I have to realize no more castles in the skies
I am in John Mayer's heartbreak warfare

I have to do it by myself, whatever it is I need
I can't depend on others for heart feed
I needed more than you were giving
And you and I haven't changed a thing

Before my thoughts go off to wander
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
I see your penny still hasn't dropped
So it's all for the best we stopped

The storm in my head

So now it comes
I realize I don't call you at night
Before I go to sleep
So now I feel
You're not the one to tell me it will be alright
And I just need to sleep on it a night
So now it boils down
You're not the sweater I cry wet when I feel bad
You're not around
It feels so strange
I can talk to you like nothing's changed
Like we're still the same
It's like you were never gone
And I still wanna say I love you when I hang up the phone
But I am on my own
I can't believe
You're not the one for me but it still feels like you should be
I still think I belong in your arms

Berry

I wish I could just go back to when we started
That Queensday I asked if you were in love with me
We went to the beach and I farted
I was relieved that you thought it was funny

I remember that sunny day at the beach
I forgot my bikini and lay down in my thong
There was barely a body part out of your reach
But still you were a gentleman all along

And our first vacation you were in charge
You spoke Spanish and led the way
You asked the way around to the cool bars
And finally left my big mouth with nothing to say

I will always be thankful we met
Four and a half years I will never regret
Four and a half years I will never forget
And it still isn't over yet

I wish I could turn the clock back around
I wish I could call you up and say we'll figure it out
I don't wanna hear you say out loud
That you knew we couldn't go through
And there won't be a rebound

I hate fate

I never hated fate so much
Why couldn't it just be you?
Why couldn't I have an everlasting crush
Our whole life through?

I never hated destiny so bad
Why couldn't you be my happily ever after?
I thought my search ended like that
And we would always be together

I will always love you
You will always be my soulmate
And I hate destiny
And I hate fate

I guess

I shattered my own dream
I had my whole life planned
We had it all, but weren't the best team
I felt taken for granted

I want the best
I will treat you like a prince
If you treat me like your princess
My time will come I guess

Living it half

So many people go through life
Living it half
They don't know they do
They don't think about their mental health

I see you smiling through life
You think this is happiness
This is only half your endorphins at work
You're settling for less

You don't see
You don't know
Look at me
I wanna show the way to go

I wanna bring intensity
Make you feel what you say
Wanna show you your real identity
Make your endorphins go all the way

Barking up the wrong tree

I could be mad
It wouldn't change a thing
I could be sad
It wouldn't change a thing
I am barking up the wrong tree
You're just not meant for me
I know that now
But when will I really see?

On the edge

I'm hanging on the edge
Of something I don't know
Crying doesn't make me feel better
I don't know how to get myself together
No one knows when you take of the lit
What's all underneath it
Neither do I

Fool's paradise

Promise me you'll never promise me something ever again
You feel obliged to act nice
But honesty is what I need
To get me out of this fool's paradise

Left and right

I know this place too well
I've been too down to tell
What's left and what's right

In a month I'll laugh about it
In a year I won't even think about it
It'll just be a memory of "one of those nights"

Now it's just anger and frustration
How did I let myself get into this situation?
But I know I'll be alright

You didn't mislead me, I did
I had a thought too much and ran off with it
But it will pass me by overnight

I won't let you

You ruined my week with your promises
You kept me thinking about sweet kisses
It would have been okay if you said nothing
Why did you have to promise me something?

I've been in your room, I've been in your bed
I've seen you shake, I've smelled your cold sweat
I've been in your life, but never in your head
So why did you promise me that?

If I see you again, I'll say
This isn't going anywhere anyway
Don't say you're sorry
You won't ever promise me again you'll call me
I won't let you

Faux Pas

I'll be the woman who'll change your life
I'll leave my fingerprints on your body
And show you your destiny
If you let me

Haven't I said this a thousand times before?
You're not the first one to withdraw
I always know how to keep it raw
Cause I am a love faux pas

Microscope (2003)

I have a microscopic view
Of everything you do
But do you take it as serious as I do?

Maybe, you just want to be friends
But underneath my microscope lens
Those words could make my world end

Maybe you're just running from my microscope
As I'm pushing you to edges you can't cope
But please don't take away my only hope
Maybe you're not my worst case scenario
Just too young to see I let myself go
Now I've got you under my microscope

Beacause every sms
That has an "X" more or less
Determines the pounding in my chest

Oh how did I let myself go?
I thought I was in control
But I run through scripts like a TV show

Maybe you're just running from my microscope
As I'm pushing you to edges you can't cope
But please don't take away my only hope
Maybe you're not my worst case scenario
Just too young to let yourself go
Now I've got you under my microscope

I thoroughly investigate
Every move you make
Do you still dare to date?

Are you scared of my magnifying glass?
Do I make you feel harassed?
Have I lost every touch of class?

Maybe you're just running from my microscope
As I'm pushing you to edges you can't cope
But please don't take away my only hope
Maybe you're not my worst case scenario
Just too young to see I let myself go
Now I've got you under my microscope

You're always the same

What's the world like from your point of view?
Is it always sunny in your head?
Because nothings ever rings through
I can admire that you're never sad
But I'm also glad I'm not like that
I am happy not to be like you
People enjoy sunshine more after rain
They realize how happy they can be after pain
You are always the same

Inspite of me

Four and a half years and this is how you react
Not even the slightest attempt to get me back
I guess I didn't really make a deep impact
Or did you think it was an impulsive act?
Did you think I would regret it and come back?
Did you think: "Oh she overreacted"
It's been three and half weeks, not one phone call
I guess I was right about you after all
If you don't dare to climb you never fall
Until I let you stumble
You only confirm you'll never learn
You only show me I was right
I need a man who is willing to fight

When you were king

It was so easy when I had everything
You were my future, you were the king
I feel sorry for changing your life
Just because I thought it didn't feel right
It's sad and true it didn't feel the same as it used to do
But all that's good and true will come back to me and you

Are you in?

I bare all
You see me rise, you see me fall
I'm not asking for much, just a little honesty
I don't do this for everybody, I beg you for mercy
I get naked, turn myself inside out and let you in
Tell me are we partners in crime, are you in?

Tired of nothing

I get so tired of doing nothing
I get so tired of thinking
I wish I knew where I am heading
The only way to find out is by waiting

I’m just a drop of water in the ocean,
I’m just a blade of grass in the field,
I’m the organism with the most emotions,
So I’m able to think about how I feel.

Don’t know if there’s a God, wonder why I live
I search for a reason to take and to give
I try to put everything in perspective
And I like to think my actions are affirmative

Too much time to think, but too little to find out
What my life in this world is all about
I can’t save the world from it’s destiny
I doubt if answers are the answer
If I’m just a grain of sand on the bottom of the sea
Would I be any different in the desert?

Sometimes it’s just too much to abide
And so nice to narrow my mind
And I wish I would bump into John Mayer that night,
So I can ask if Jennifer Aniston has any cellulite

The man

Everybody says I need a more mature man
Everybody says I need a self assured man,
A man who will lead the way

I just want a man who can take care of himself
Who isn't afraid to be left on the shelf
A man who thinks his life is pretty okay

I like them upbeat, funny and witty
But most of all I want a man who really loves me
And really loves me everyday

Random thoughts?

I wanna say I don't do this with everybody
But I don't want to scare you
I wanna say I'm afraid of love
But I don't want to scare you

At this moment

Talking nonsense at the bar
Or an interesting psychological conversation
I don't sleep with someone easily
But I get tired of masturbation

The lows, the highs,
Would it be boring without them?
But I hate switching between lonely cries
And laughing out loud

I choose you for a reason
You make me feel at ease
You're funny and you're witty
But I hate hoping you're thinking of me

Rated R

There you go,
You made a memory with me
Maybe not the one you hoped for,
But it's perfect for me

So now you're captured in my brain
For as long as I can remember that
There was a Sunday with poring rain
And I didn't mind that

Opposite

Natural selection has got us this far
To a point where we think we know who we are
To a point where we think we know what we need
But to find an exact match would only be inbreed

I tell myself it's something chemical
You're not that special
You're not my type at all
You're just very kissable

You're just a minor impact
I know I overreact
I don't believe in opposites attract
Assuming you're the opposite
But maybe you're not

No one else

I read your hateful comments
And I wonder what you want to achieve?
Obviously you don't wanna be friends
But I don't know you, so why pick on me?
You think I have myself on a throne
I'm self-satisfied and arrogant
So you couldn't just leave me alone
You had to leave your comment

I think someone should check your head
To see if there's anything inside of it
You can say what you want, I don't care
Only I can bring myself down
And no one else can

I love me more

There wasn't a thing I wouldn't do for you
We could have lived in a treehouse if you wanted to
I could have been happy with you living on Mars
Four and a half years is not a farce

I love you but I love me more
You're gentle and you're sweet
But there's more that I need
I love you but I love me more

I act cool but of course it hurts
Dedication and devotion are not just words
They have been gone for so long
I wonder if you know how it works

I love you but I love me more
You're pretty and you're smart
But true love comes from the heart
I love you but I love me more

The brain starts in your spine if you have one
You can be so smart but when harsh times come
I never see a clenched fist, you always quit
You never learned how to fight or go for it

I love you but I love me more
You can say you love me everyday
But actions speak louder than words they say
I love you but I love me more

You never came

I have been up here
Waiting for years
For you to come near
To understand and adhere
But you never came

If you wanna be the man
Act like you give a damn
Show me how important I am
Be willing to do all you can
But you never came

The calculation

It's like I cut off my arm
I have made the calculation a thousand times before
But now this solution doesn't seem like the one I calculated
All the reasons I had for doing so have faded

I have to remind myself
Why I made these calculations the past few months
Something was missing and now it seems all at once
But this has been here as long as I can remember

I hate hurting you
I have been scared for being alone again
But that's no reason to stay with a man
I hope you'll grow stronger and learn

(Written in 2006)

My knight in shining armor
Isn't much of a charmer
But he knows how to irritate
Cause he's always running late

The love of my life
Refuses to do things he doesn't like
He can't go without his wine
Which means I always have to drive

My sweetest honeybunny
Has an almost perfect personality
He won't impress my parents the slightest bit
He doesn't like to take effort for me

My sexy one and only
Doesn't like to hurry
Sometimes he'd rather stay home than see me
That takes less energy

My sugarpie really cares for me
But he won't change a hair for me
He doesn't treat me like his queen
And I doubt if I'm in his dreams

If you love me, let me know
You can't just say cause you're introvert it doesn't show
This behavior only proves one thing:
You say you love me, but act like it's nothing

Tree house

I would have lived in a tree house with you
There wasn't a thing I wouldn't do
But only cause I thought someday you'd get there too

That day never came
4,5 years all the same
Just a dying flame

Didn't you feel something had to change?
Did you think this was normal?
Or did you think change will come by itself?
Cause I think you don't realize change doesn't come by itself.

B

I heard your heart tear
I saw you gasping for air
I think it's so unfair
You were completely unaware

I wish you would have said
I'll fight 'till the bitter end
But I know you can't
I don't think you have what it takes for things to be mend

I never see a clenched fist.
I never see willpower.
I never see you go for it.
Not even in the 11th hour.

Should I wait for you to grow a spine?
Should I wait for you to learn how to fight?
I doubt if you'll ever have a willing mind
Maybe you're just not that kind

Messy head

I woke up early cause I couldn't stop my thoughts
Everything was so clear for the first four years
And now it's not

I lie awake cause I can't stop my thoughts
I had my whole life planned, you were the man
And now you're not

Empty bodies

Cheap thrills
Low ambitions
Animal instinct
Bad decision?

You'd think I would know by now
How it works
And if there's no love in it
It only hurts

It seems so easy
Just for lust
But it gives us
Empty bodies

Work-ache

I'm getting too old for teenage insecurity
Sitting by the phone waiting for them to call me
Checking them out on the internet
Checking my e-mail when I come out of bed
Too old for strange feelings in my stomach
Reject me straight away, don't make me ache
Looking for a job is like falling in love with a man:
Are they gonna call or am I never gonna here from them again?

Twenty-six

There's no answer to doubt
I just have to wait and see
Cause I can't figure it out
What's best for me

I wish I knew what to do
I wish life was simple
Cause I can't choose
If I feel that either way I'll lose

I thought 26 meant it would be clear
There would be nothing to fear
I would have a house and a career
But I'm not even near

Whatever

When will I know what I feel?
Everything I thought, is not.
If I appeal to this
Will I lose everything I've got?
Maybe I forgot who I was without you
I was someone, you know.
Maybe all I've got
Is being part of two.
Cause I haven't thought about what I want.
Even though it seems like I've forced it upon you.
At least, so it feels.
It feels like you never had an opinion, until you had mine.

99% yours 1 % mine

You think you know me
And you do very well
But that one percent you'll never see
Can surprise you if you don't act carefully
That one percent
Can turn the other cheek
Wants to be independent
And can live without a boyfriend
If I have to

Stalling

Stalling,
I think your middle name is stalling.
There ain't a thing you do without delay.
Cause it always feels OK to wait another day
Or two or three
Falling,
In the end all you'll do is falling
I will slap you in the face
But the next time you'll do it the same way
Cause you're too blind to see

If I don't do a thing there's nothing

Mr. T

These are times in which I am reminded,
how nice it was that you were blinded
You gave me a 101 percent
You went where no other man ever went,
not even my current

4,5

Four and a half years at a slow pace
You'll turn 30 at your folks' place
I wanna move on with or without you
Dedication takes two
If I stop, there will be nothing left of us
Cause there's nothing you do

Mediocre man (about my workplace)

This town ain't good enough to stay
But not bad enough to leave
You only leave for holidays
It's not what you dreamed you'd achieve
This job is not where you thought you'd end
When you're drunk you say you'll leave your girlfriend
And that you were meant to be someone different
But you'll work it out in the end
After so many beers
You talk about getting a career
But you'll probably never get out of here
Cause it takes courage and you live in fear
Where are you gonna go?
If there's a whole world out there you don't know?
You're just a mediocre man
You always talk about your plans
But you'll never leave this place
It's nice everyone knows you
If you don't fight for that career or that raise
You won't get rejections too
It's safe your girl will never leave
You don't have to prove yourself to anyone
There's nothing you have to achieve
If you're willing to be no one
And just be a mediocre man

In my head

In my head
I have all these fantasies
Like Hollywood movies

In my head
I make up great stories
Hoping to change reality

Waiting for opportunities
Waiting to win the lottery
Waiting for the day I can fully be me

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

I know your every mold
Your favorite CD
That you like salami
Nothing left to unfold

How you pick your clothes
The books you like to read
When you like to smoke weed
The way you pick your nose

I know your every move
I know what you feel
When to keep my lips sealed
Cause there's nothing left to prove

Unfortunately

London

You and I could be perfect symmetry
You and I could be beyond meant to be
It's strange how much I know about you
And you don't know anything about me

You could be the solution for all my mistakes
With you everything that's wrong will turn out right
With you I can start with a clean slate
The only thing I need is a chance by fate

Doubt

If I give up now,
Is there anything I can really fight for?
Or will I always give up when things get tough?
Is it just a phase?
Why am I thinking it is, for so long?
I hurt myself when I say I'm not sure enough.
I've never been this far,
I took some irreversible steps already
All I can do is wait and see what I am made of.

Anvers

Anvers, je veux habiter a d'Anvers.
J'adore les monuments de rue de la Meir,
L'architecture et la culture,
Les bâtiments et les places,
C'est amour sincère, ne c'est pas en face.
Anvers, je prendre entre mes bras!

Appearance outweighs personality

I see a skinny girl on the runway.
I wonder if she has eaten anything today.
I see Beyoncé on the cover of a magazine.
But her curves nowhere to be seen.

Oh photoshop, photoshop, plastic surgery,
Why can't I be a little plumpy?
Oh photoshop, photoshop, plastic surgery,
Why can't I be a little ugly?
Oh photoshop, photoshop, plastic surgery,
Why can't I be me?
Oh photoshop, photoshop, plastic surgery,
Why does appearance weigh more than personality?

Twelve megapixels show wrinkles in detail.
The perfect flashlight makes me look pale.
Then there's a shadow that gives me a huge nose.
I see things only meant for up close.

Oh photoshop, photoshop, plastic surgery,
Why can't I be a little plumpy?
Oh photoshop, photoshop, plastic surgery,
Why can't I be a little ugly?
Oh photoshop, photoshop, plastic surgery,
Why can't I be me?
Oh photoshop, photoshop, plastic surgery,
Why does appearance weigh more than personality?

Rose

I can't believe how well you sing,
Your drawing and your photographing.
He doesn't deserve your loving.
You're way too talented to be his fling.
Compared to you he's boring.
Compared to you he's nothing.
There's really no comparing.
So why do you like him?

Never Forget

You weren't really a close friend
But still I feel bad about the way things went
Your lack of information
Lead to a big misinterpretation
This is not what I meant

I still check you on the internet
You're almost close to perfect
I wish I could just say sorry
But it seems you ignore me
Time can make people forgive, but in my case they never forget

Chemistry

A little piece of me has become you.
When you're gone it doesn't know what to do.
You're the enzyme, I'm the protein.
Together we convert into a molecule.

Your chemistry sometimes seems less than mine
If I unbind would we still combine?
Would you draw me near and take charge of time?
Would you take charge of me before I unwind?

Waiting again

You say you want to be with me.
But you act like it doesn't matter what I do.
Other boyfriends said I made them happy.
You're just happy when I don't talk about the future.

You forget I had a life before you.
I don't want to go back but I can if I have to.
My situation is not financially stable.
But I don't need much money if I am willing and able

Hey mister, it's an honor to be with me.
I guess you forgot that somewhere along the way.
I praise you all the time, when do you praise me?
Maybe I shouldn't wait for that day.

11th hour

You mumble, you arch your back.
When in a bad mood I say: cut the slack.
You're stubborn when you're supposed to fight.
These things don't get well by themselves overnight.

I never see a clenched fist.
I never see willpower.
I never see you go for it.
And now is the 11th hour.

Words

I don't wanna be the nagging woman.
But you never take initiative.
And I want to build my life around you.
Standing still is not my way to live.

I wanna know every mold on your body.
I wanna be like husband and wife.
I wanna be your backbone, emotionally.
But you don't wanna talk about that kind of life.

You get mad about words.
House, marriage, kids.
I like to talk about my future.
And you should too, if you want to be in it.

How long can I hold my breath?
You're never ready, not even at twenty-seven.
When are you ever gonna take the first step?
Or will you just wait until I drag you along?

I always dream what if, what if,
You would take the initiative.
Be a man and stand for something.
But I always realize I am only dreaming.

Watch clouds pass by

Let me explain the rules again:
It's all or nothing, you can't do it a little bit.
You can't say you want to spend the rest of your life with me,
and then act like you don't really want it.

Let me explain the rules again:
You do it, or you don't, can't do it slightly.
You say you want to marry, then you don't.
You say you want to buy a house, then you won't.

I can't bring all the fireworks by myself.
Build the castles in the sky.
Then to be left on the shelf,
And only get to watch the clouds pass by.

Let me explain the rules again:
Either you're in, or you're not.
You can't say you want it very bad,
But behave like you don't care a lot.

Let me explain the rules again:
It's all or nothing, can't do it partly.
You can't say maybe we'll buy a house
And the next day say you don't want it as bad as me

Four years and four months: we're just amateurs
But with every step I take you're not sure
Are you unwilling or unable to mature?
Is this what I've been waiting for?

You know

When push comes to shove.
You never shove.
You just get mad about it.
Just when you think it's tough
and you've had enough.
That's usually when it's only getting started.

The house

The more I want it,
the less you do.
The more I need it,
the less you want to.

The faster I run,
the more you stay behind.
The more I care,
the less you mind.

You always give up at the first gunshot.
When no one has been hit.
Well tell me how we'll ever be together?
If you're not willing to fight for it.

Today you want it,
tomorrow you're not sure.
You sent me hunting,
after wards you don't want the prey anymore.

You're getting tired of your room and mine.
You ruin my weekend with your mood.
Solutions take a lot of time.
But if I'm the only one trying, I doubt if I should.

If I say I doubt us, you're mad for a week.
Yet you feel allowed to say things just as bad:
"You want to live together more than I do"
I guess that makes this week my week to be mad.

11:59 PM

I'm here, and you're there
Mentally, spatially
Now is the time to show you care
And you really want to be with me

Waiting for you makes it clear
Later has already started
Later is already here
Tomorrow is not for faint-hearted
And today will never come back.

I'm fighting this battle alone
Or so it seems
I don't hear any frustration on the phone
Your mother still wishes you sweet dreams

Waiting for you is all I do
Later has already come
Later is now for me and you
There's no time for speaking in tongues
Cause today will never come back

Please don't make me wait.
The future is today.

Questions

I get so tired of doing nothing
I get so tired of thinking
I wish I knew where I am heading
The only way to find out is by waiting

I’m just a drop of water in the ocean,
I’m just a blade of grass in the field,
I’m the organism with the most emotions,
So I’m able to think about how I feel.

Don’t know if there’s a God, wonder why I live
I search for a reason to take and to give
I try to put everything in perspective
And I like to think my actions are affirmative

Too much time to think, but too little to find out
What my life in this world is all about
I can’t save the world from it’s destiny
I doubt if answers are the answer
If I’m just a grain of sand on the bottom of the sea
Would I be any different in the desert?

Sometimes it’s just too much to abide
And so nice to narrow my mind
And I wish I would bump into John Mayer that night,
So I can ask if Jessica Simpson has any cellulite

Opinionated

I've been carelessly speaking my mind
Been a little arrogant sometimes
Just because I got irritated
But I was way too opinionated

I can't say what I think and expect
That nobody will object
Or that I'm always right
I better sleep on things a night

I speak my mind in a blurt
But when most of my words hurt
They come back to me eventually
I just have to live and learn

Big Bore

How long must I hold my breath?
How long before I get what I want to get?
Tell me something I don't allready know
You're not the first to say you love me so

There’s nothing we haven’t done before
We’re in the middle of a big bore
Can’t remember the last time I got thrilled
Cause we’re only standing still

How far must I go, ‘till I know,
What’s at the other end of the rainbow?
How long must I climb, ‘till I find,
What I should have had for a long time

My pursuit of happiness,
Seems so hollow and pointless.
The closer I get, the further away it is
How long, ‘till I can really start my life?

Temporary friends

All I've got from those days
Is a smile and a lighter
I wish you the best, you really need it
You're too driven by desire
And I feed it

All that's left are moments
Moments of raging fire
You'll never get much higher
You're not really a fighter
You're just in it for the moment

It's good that it didn't last
I was aware what it meant
You really need the good luck I wish you
You've got more temporary friends
Who'll take you down too.

Partner in crime

I was the one who always said "I know what forever is like"
But now I know I lied
And I found a partner in crime

I was the one who had always already seen the light
But I wasn't right
I have been fooling my own mind

I was the one who always claimed for better or for worse times
But I had no clue what worse is like
Or when the feeling's gone over night.

Endorphines

Everything is boring
You and me, this country
Even the next big thing

The times are changing
But eventually nothing's new to me
It's just history repeating

Is there anything left to explore?
Care less, drink more
Trying to make life more hardcore

It's been so long since
My life was ruled by endorphins
And my heart beat pure adrenaline

I feel a little bitter
Let down by my neurotransmitters
Like I threw out all pleasures with the litter

I need more chemicals
Nine to five ain't my kind of life
I gotta grab life by the balls

Be Someone

He was the surf god when he was 18.
Everyday at the beach.
He’s 34 now and still seen,
As the surf god, and that’s all he’s achieved.

But in this small town by the sea,
It doesn’t take much to be somebody.
And I just want to flea.
Go somewhere I can give my life meaning.
Where I can achieve something.
Where I can be somebody.

I don’t want to be like the masses.
Going to work everyday or attending classes.
I like to think I make a difference.
And when I die, the whole world ends.

But in this small town by the sea,
It doesn’t take much to be somebody.
And I just want to flea.
Go somewhere I can give my life meaning.
Where I can achieve something.
Where I can be somebody.

Worth worrying

I worry about everything,
I worry about worrying.
Would you still love me if I become boring?
Would you still love me if I screw up everything?

I think about everything,
I think about thinking.
I f I’m done studying would my life still be exciting?
Should I lie back, or unfold my wings?

If I don’t pass the next test,
Can I still think I’m the smartest?
When my time comes will it pass me by,
Like another simple piece of my quiet life?
So I hesitate, I ruminate,
Hoping I won’t be bored by fate.
If there’s anything I can stop from happening,
I don’t want to become boring.
That’s worth worrying.

Stranger than paradise (Mr. T)

My baby's big heart wants to fly
You've fixed that hole I left in your life
You can look at me like you don't mind
But I will never forget what it was like

There wasn't a thing you wouldn't do for me
Three a.m. climbing on my balcony
I never felt that intensity ever again
You make loving beautiful like no one else can

I thought your life wouldn't go on
You'd still be in your room writing me sad love songs
Now you see, I'm the one who's writing
I've seen your life again and it got me thinking

You have the biggest heart I've ever crossed
I never meant to leave
you with your heart on your sleeve
Looking for a cause

But no one can take our memories
I have a place in my mind where I can go
To see how good love can be
Cause without you I would have never known

Single of the century (2005)

When I get drunk I go all the way.
In showing sides that aren’t meant to be displayed.
I call my ex and cry on the phone.
Lately….I feel so alone….

I am ironing at one a.m.
Trying to straighten out why I don’t have a man.
Is mister right not looking out for me?
Lately….I am so lonely….

Oh I never meant to be desperate or lonely.
That’s not what I had planned.
I thought my future would be glorious and lovely.
Filled with men.
I guess I must be the single of the century.

Lots of attention in the local bar.
But nothing is good enough for me by far.
It’s hard to find matching chromosomes.
Lately….I feel so alone….

I am totally fed up with dating.
I can’t get inspiration for masturbating.
I stare at every happy couple I see.
Lately….I am so lonely….

Oh I never meant to be desperate or lonely.
That’s not what I had planned.
I thought my future would be glorious and lovely.
Filled with men.
I guess I must be the single of the century.

Friday I saw my ex with his new chick.
They were kissing in public and it made me sick.
I held back my tears until I got home.
Lately….I feel so alone….

I’m sure my man is on his way.
Maybe I just have to wait 10.000 more days.
I’ll pass on my genes and die happy.
But lately….I am so lonely….

What independent woman?

I can spend hours on end wondering,
Will my boyfriend still love me if I become boring?
I never thought I’d pass my driver’s test.
“Buy yourself a nice bike” was what examiners would suggest.

Ohhh, isn’t it nice to have build up this façade?
To hide behind so people think I’ve got it made.

Ok, so now I’m studying psychology.
Thank god I have a boyfriend to help me figure out me.
Am I still sexy if I gain a few pounds?
When I get nervous people hear my stomach making funny sounds.

Ohhh, all these people who can’t see through my charade,
Are jealous ‘cause they think I’ve got it made.

My friends have got nice racks at the front.
I got stuck with something I usually refer to as “blunt”.
Somehow I got blessed with a round bum.
So I may not be perfect, but some parts of me are pretty awesome.

Ohhh, on the first date I usually got men afraid.
Cause I always seem like I’ve got it made.

I am smart, but I never score an A plus.
If I’m sleepy I accidentally wind up taking the wrong bus.
I easily black out in front of the class.
I am pretty, sexy and feminine but have bowel problems including gas.

Ohhh, isn’t it nice to be able to fake?
So people think I’ve got it made.

Independent woman

I am pretty, I am handy, I am smart.
But getting a date is pretty hard.
I’m not everyone’s cup of tea.
I’m an independent woman, you see.

I drive fast, I drink beer, but am avant garde.
So getting a date is pretty hard.
I got a Master's Degree and make more salary.
I’m an independent woman, you see.

I’m scared when I’m home alone.
I cry when something’s wrong with my cell phone.
I get upset when I break a nail.
I’m independent only until I fail.

My vile language comes straight from the heart.
So getting a date is pretty hard.
My sense of humour is rude and dirty.
I’m an independent woman, you see.

Got my own house, got my own car.
But getting a date is pretty hard.
I drive more guys home than they drive me.
I’m an independent woman, you see.

No, I won’t settle for less.
I need a guy who can handle PMS.
And also kill the bugs under my bed.
Who knows my shoe collection is sacred.

I masturbate more often than I should.
I beat you at trivial pursuit.
I complain the sex wasn’t good.
You don’t wanna meet me in a boxing mood.

But if it’s ok my life is ruled by sales,
Once a month I feel like a whale,
Or if I cry about titanic again and again,
You might be my independent-woman-man.

Rough

Can you kill an animal with bare hands?
Can you lift me up and walk me around?
Can you fight like a real man?
Can you fix my car when it’s broken down?

I know your sweet loving is fine,
And you understand my period.
And you like to take your time.
But I don’t want any foreplay when I’m already hot.

I need a rough man.
To tell me bear liver is poisonous.
To climb a tree to pick an apple for me.
Who takes martial arts quite serious.
I need a rough man!

Do you know how to grind a knife?
Are you strong enough to break a fork in two?
Do you experience the least bit of fright,
Facing lions that escaped from the zoo?

You’re upset when you’re stung by a bee.
You don’t mind when you didn’t come.
You’re weak cause you’re in love with me.
Are you fooling your own testosterone?

I need a rough man.
To tell me which snakes are poisonous.
To dive into the sea to catch a shell for me.
Who takes muscle strength quite serious.
I need a rough man!

2005

I just can't keep coming back whenever I feel lonely.
There isn't a better way for losing my credibility.
So all I can say is I hope she makes you happy.
And I guess in a way she's saving you from me.

Prospect lost (Timmy’s song)

You’re drawing lines as you’re crossing them.
And you like to think of yourself as a grown man.
But you don’t know where you stand.
Then again, it’s nice to stick your head in the sand.
Play your own songs; make your own rhythm,
No one bothers how you’re living.
But your dreams ain’t fulfilling.
Then again it’s nice drinking and blowing.

Who needs ideals if you can’t live up them?
Who needs chances if it means starting over again?
You weren’t made to be a born again Christian.
You take comfort in being among the damned.
Who needs tomorrow if you live today?
Who needs prospect with your guitar play?
You weren’t made for leading the way.
You take comfort in the rainy days.

I’m drawing lines, you aren’t crossing them.
Cause you should see yourself as a grown man.
And look where you stand.
Cause it’s a pity wasting all your talent.
Play your own songs; make your own rhythm.
Don’t you back off or dare to give in.
Cause you’ve got something going.
It’s useless thinking how big you could have been.

You need ideals cause you can live up to them.
If you fail, it doesn’t mean that you can’t.
You weren’t made to be a born again Christian.
You were meant to start your own religion.
Dream about tomorrow, live to the fullest today.
Use your humor, artistic skills and guitar play.
Only if you allow it things will get in the way.
And give me a call on those rainy days.

Me

Behind my facade
there's a nutty parade,
and we all go insane,
slowly....
But on my face
I won't leave a trace,
of the time that I waste,
going crazy....

Oh, today is frustration day,
so get out of my way,
as I try to analyze everything inside this brain.
No, I won't settle for less,
cause I simply can't rest,
until I've shown the world that I'm the best.
Oh, I wish I had your mood,
everything's fine, always good,
cause you don't have to be perfect like I think I should.

Everything's quiet,
except for my forehead.
It's always a riot,
inside me....
I overdose
when chances come close,
and overexpose,
mellon collie coffee....

Oh, today is frustration day,
so get out of my way,
as I try to analyze everything inside this brain.
No, I won't settle for less,
cause I simply can't rest,
until I've shown the world that I'm the best.
Oh, I wish I had your mood,
everything's fine, always good,
cause you don't have to be perfect like I think I should.

Oh you won't hear me admit,
I've been wrong a bit,
and I can never make it.
I know my capacities,
and I will bend my knees,
even if no one believes,
Cause I know that I can,
And I will get there and then,
I know who I am....
