Good evening, Brink Express How may I help you? Three hours awake Wriggling in the space your arms make Rubbing our feet, awaiting a pluck Turning away The sheets wrapped around, just for today Calling you mine, sure I am right Hey, it’s alive Making wind and rain as he describes Can’t you come over here, to my side of the sheet Spaghetti and sauce But I won’t have your socks in my drawers Calling you mine, sure I am right To investigate Or am I too indiscrete When I feel your heart beating near Who cares about the time When the moon's alight And our fires align On the eve of the night Laying on your pillow Tryin' to make it clear When I feel your heart beating near ‘Though I know I've got to let you go I'm rolling down the road While my heart beats slow, but Who cares about the time When the moon's alight And our fires align On the eve of the night

I walk the streets of this great city Alone in the endless herd Money buys you happiness? Not in a million years Thought we were friends no matter what Never realised how you were using me 'Till death do us part? Not in a million years Searching for something to hold on to Finding out what makes life worthwhile Why do I chase all these illusions? That leave me so unsatisfied? Making love to you feels divine Want to cry out: 'there is a God!' Fall down on my knees and pray? Not in a million years Searching for something to hold on to Finding out what makes life worthwhile Why do I chase all these illusions? That leave me so unsatisfied? We peel off the layers of our disguise They fall, leave us bare and exposed We see each other for who we really are Give up on us? Not in a million years Searching for something to hold on to Finding out what makes life worthwhile Why do I chase all these illusions? That leave me so unsatisfied? That leave me so unsatisfied I walk the streets of this great city Alone in the endless herd

Complain... 03:41
We’re just watching commercials Making life kind of submission We can buy a car on payment And then turn off the television I’m still doing the dishes Taken over by confusion I can’t break a crystal wine glass Without fear of persecution Baby knows I gotta get away Need some time, they all say I’ll leave this day And after all Parents complain another way One more night I’m your headliner The exciting belly dancer Hey, I didn’t even notice I’m your provider and financer And I know I’m ruining your breakfast But I'm taking down the marquee I know that I’ll be brighter In a place where I’ll be free Baby knows I gotta get away Need some time, they all say I’ll leave this day And after all Parents complain another way The walls enclosing Yeah I’m imposing Sure you’re opposing What are you proposing? Baby knows I gotta get away Need some time, they all say I’ll leave this day And after all Parents complain another way Baby knows I gotta get away Need some time, they all say I’ll leave this day And after all Parents complain... But I'm on my way

On My Way 04:17
Finally found the courage To make my way back home Drinking and talking In those places I’ve been shown Tryin' to forget Dancing until dawn Wandering from bar to bar But I don’t feel reborn I used to like your smell And wear your dirty shirts Now all the simple things Seems you know where it hurts Feels like living in a cheap motel A cry for freedom fills my ears Don’t know where I am going But I’m getting out of here Being dragged under By your narrow-minded view I can’t go with What you think is true I have stayed too long Without my feelings told The fire that once burned inside Is freezing, turning cold Try to keep on livin' I close the door on you Now I rest my case So one has become two Feels like living in a cheap motel A cry for freedom fills my ears Don’t know where I am going But I’m getting out of here The songs that I sing I can no longer bring Can’t wait 'till dawn I gotta keep movin' on Feels like living in a cheap motel A cry for freedom fills my ears Don’t know where I am going But I’m getting out of here Getting out of here
5.
It is just an excellent day The moon is shining And I’m feeling depressed It is just, won’t have it your way The oil on your body And your hands on my breasts And all the things I should have done Already been told in a thousand songs I’m not in the mood For dressing up like a nurse I just don’t want to make love I just don’t want to have fun No, it's not as you boys call 'The Curse’ My body's fine, but my mind is on the run And all the things that caused me tears Already been told for a thousand years And I might as well get drunk And get laid next door You’re giving me the same shit I can find in any store The problem is you’re wasting my time We can’t fix it I’ve already shopped for more You say your life sucks because I don’t No, no, no reflection on inviting my friend A bunny suit, no way, no way I won’t You’ve got yourself, go use your hands She never knew any love But now she’s getting too much This bird is gonna fly again She’s on her way to Neverland I never knew any love And now I'm getting too much This bird is gonna fly again I'm on my way to Neverland I might as well get drunk And get laid next door You’re giving me the same shit I can find in any store The problem is you’re wasting my time We can’t fix it I’ve already shopped for more

Hind Sight 05:36
You should know better now Knowing where you’ve been All the places visited And all the sights you’ve seen Does it help you on your way Saying you need a new home? But your path keeps crossing The place where you have grown Taking the best of both sides Or just stay in touch It’s getting harder to tell Why I like you so much You're always on the run Leaving, wanting me back It's getting harder to tell Why I love you so much The grey morning displays a warning It’s not all white or black Sometimes it’s hard to choose So we still keep coming back Taking the best of both sides Or just stay in touch It’s getting harder to tell Why I like you so much You're always on the run Leaving, wanting me back It's getting harder to tell Why I love you so much You should know better now...

Meantime 04:28
Mondays are so boring I keep on ignoring These things that I must fix before I’ll pass away The bearer of the letters Makes it no better Why isn’t he informed about my temper today Words are causing confusion I keep on losing A sentiment’s required for the fate of a girl The lines are telling nonsense But it confronts us With all your acts I shouldn’t be able to solve, well I will Things are only getting worse But it depends on what we do In the meantime, in the meantime The initiative is yours And it depends on what we do In the meantime, in the meantime I interpret the sayings While I'm waiting For a prompting which will create some kind of inspiration For what I will be posting Should I be hosting A man who’s mainly hunting for much stimulation Things are only getting worse But it depends on what we do In the meantime, in the meantime The initiative is yours And it depends on what we do In the meantime, in the meantime I mail my postcard, in the meantime Givin' a fresh start, in the meantime But it depends on what we do, in the meantime In the meantime Things are only getting worse But it depends on what you do In the meantime, in the meantime The initiative is yours And it depends on what you do In the meantime, in the meantime

Damn 02:53
There comes a time when you find out That your daddy’s not B.A. You understand what your uncle means When he says he wants to play Face the fact, Elvis is dead And you cannot join the club Hobbits don’t exist, but the dentist does And the blues keeps coming up Goddamn blues Coca Cola invented Santa And there’s no man in the moon You realise that Di Caprio Uses the toilet too Experience you’ve got to fuck your boss If you want to get that job There’s no true love and your boyfriends cheat And the blues keeps coming up Goddamn blues Politicians are not honest Valentine’s Day is a mockery Your parents don’t know what’s the best for you Goddamn blues There comes a time when you find out That Britney Spears playbacks Now you clearly feel that heroin Is not better than sex Say what?! Life is just a music piece With now and then bad news ‘Cause God is not a white old man But a black lesbian Singing the blues
9.
Little Man 04:09
Hey little man Feel the morning sun on your face It’s getting stronger day by day Only more days you can play outside Hey little man Play along in the schoolyard Already forgotten your sore knee When a kid pulled you off the slide Hey little man You can’t see beyond the sandbox Just a faint glimpse of all that sadness Creating castles and moats Keeps it all outside Hey little man The teacher beckons you inside For a sing-a-long and a little story time You can’t hear the ambulance drive by Hey little man You can’t see beyond the sandbox Just a faint glimpse of all that sadness Creating castles and moats Keeps it all outside A little time for the telly And after seven it’s time to sleep Just before the eight o’clock news Thunders by Hey little man You can’t see beyond the sandbox Just a faint glimpse of all that sadness Creating castles and moats Keeps it all outside
10.
Well here you are, a morning star Insecure and never gone too far Make your way, gotta fight ‘Cause you’re sick when you’re all alone at night But every day, longing for this You want to cast away the prejudice Ain’t it time, to break the ice You got me to give you good advice Throw away those thoughts, don’t doubt I heard you whisper what you’re thinking about It’s time for you to stand up proud Feeling wicked, gotta let it all out Let it all out, let it all out I’m making it hot for you But you’re still playing your games Dykes will let the flood come in It won’t quench the flames Go on, just ignore the crowd I heard you say what you’re dreaming about I see suppressed frustrations sprout You’re a mess, gotta let it all out Let it all out, let it all out You're confident with your hands But I’ve seen the scissors in the washing stand Why can’t we make some marmalade? Don’t you waste no time girl scout Why don’t you sing what you’re thinking about I want you to say it loud Don’t you waste no time girl scout Why don’t you sing what you’re thinking about I want you to say it loud Feeling anchored, gotta let it all out Let it all out, let it all out Let it all out, let it out Let it out

Unfitting 04:23
You are so rough Scorching heat upon me You are too rough Can’t get in the beat Of your personal stampede You are so fast Shooting blooms in the night You are too fast The one thing that remains Is you rushing through my veins For the highest prize We’ve got to synthesize Got to synthesize For the highest prize I am so soft Posing gentleness upon you I am too soft I try to mesmerize Blowing bubbles in the night I am so slow Aiming for the lights on the day I am too slow Like a very long time Camping out in ‘69 For the highest prize We’ve got to synchronize Got to synchronize For the highest prize Lead me, need me Baby, sympathize Make love to me For the highest prize You’ve got to sympathize Got to sympathize For the highest prize
12.
I got a feeling that I can’t shake from my bones Life’s on my neck like a freakin' stone Clutchin' my mind as some clueless pray And I just follow the breadcrumbs they lay The fire died here, there’s nothing left to grief No second chance, they’ve made you believe Get in or get out, the endless commute No time to follow, a preset route When, more than ever things won’t fall into place Put your foot down before it’s all down the drain A piece of rock, turning right to wrong Feel the highway with an interstate song Catch the horizon, enjoy the palette Alone on the road in an old Corvette A piece of rock, turning right to wrong Feel the highway with an interstate song Pedal to the metal, run like the Devil Drive till we’re all insane Don’t know where I belong but I’m gonna make it Wherever I end up I know I can take it And when I’m stuck again I turn my music up loud Just fill up the gas and leave without a doubt Roll down the window and stick your head out Taste the wind, become one with the sound A piece of rock, turning right to wrong Feel the highway with an interstate song Catch the horizon, enjoy the palette Alone on the road in an old Corvette A piece of rock, turning right to wrong Feel the highway with an interstate song Pedal to the metal, run like the Devil Drive till we’re all insane Yeah, right on!
13.
Let me start off by telling you If you’re not hearing what I’m saying Then I’m talking about you Don’t care if you skip a line But not hearing any verse It's just a waste of my time Maybe this one’s not the upper class But damned if we were heard Reeling just whoe’s and aa’s It’s a fucking package deal feelin' A combination of sound and rhyme So if you don't hear anything we bring Get the fuck out And to all you others Get the fuck out Can’t stand repeating words in vain On a catchy chorus and tune So please hear me and ease the pain Hope it’s not a desperate call So good luck singing only the chorus Get the fuck out Hope you will start to hear it all Get the fuck out But until then Get the fuck out Hope you will start to hear it all Get the fuck out And to all you others Get the fuck out Ok, one more time Get the fuck out And we’ll see you next time

To Occupy 04:34
We don't have to bow for the mass We don't have to allow to take the heat If no one takes us seriously Then everybody is obsolete Never seen so many streets I want to occupy Ask me what I’m doing here I’m pleased to tell you why The few turn into many Just for being man Chalk on the bricks And scream slogans once again We don't have to bow for the mass We don't have to allow to take the heat If no one takes us seriously Then everybody is obsolete Fox says a puny display Of outcasts and strays No hardworking men Make such a childish play We took our chance And simply worked harder How come we have to pay Just for being smarter We don't have to bow for the mass We don't have to allow to take the heat If no one takes us seriously Then everybody is obsolete But never mind us We’re just John Doe Your flea in the fur Way out of the normal flow Never seen so many streets Where I want to be Long-haired trash we are Provoking for equality We don't have to bow for the mass We don't have to allow to take the heat If no one takes us seriously Then everybody is obsolete
