Favours
I couldn't trust me to the corner
Close my eyes and forgetting where I'm at
I know I haven't lost my mind
So I smile, yeah my patience drives me mad
Like the circus leaves a circle on the grass
Got to move on and let it pass
I won't let it get me down
But, something moves across the room as slow as winter
Favours for the ungrateful; yeah..
Sometimes pleased, never satisfied
Favours for the ungrateful
Unqualified and hateful
Favours for the unwilling
And all the time revealing
How truthful I can get..
As close to what I really meant
Favours for the ungrateful
I hope I haven't lost my mind
But, tomorrow is a hammer swinging at my head
I won't let that get me down
It's apologies unspoken with regret
I've been stuck on a pin
Had my wings pulled off
Down niagara in a barrel
- Pride's not hard to swallow
All you do is chew
When Love plans for tomorrow
Loneliness dreams of yesterday
Favours for the...
Close my eyes and forgetting where I'm at

Flat
Small ideas on little minds
Many fish of many kinds
Easy cash'n'lots of leisure
Above primal law; the prize of pleasure
It pulls you down
It's perfectly clear
There's an end
To even the worst career...
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
And though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat...
All talk of taste's beside the point
Shift your ideas; make up your mind
- Did you know fun, was this much work
If there's a cost, is it still worth it...
But, I declare each one a friend!
And take day by day untill the end..
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
And though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat..
It often makes it flat-
But I declare each one a friend
And take day by day untill the end
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
Though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat..
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
Though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat.
It often makes it flat..

Girl Nation
I had a ticket to fly so I boarded a plane
When a combat dressed stewardesse shouted my name
I'm wanted alive yeah! I'm in for a trial
It's minimum mercy coz they found my file
Hijacked, kidnapped, trailed and trapped
They fly me in I'm gonna pay for all of my sins - now it begins
Yeah! I've a found place where girls eat men
Now I'm back in girl nation again
Girl nation Female civilization
Girl nation Female civilization
It's a female tale it's hard to use words
But I'm landed and stranded among oysters & birds
Bad bush & dangerous curves bad boys get what they deserves
Wild sisters dancing all night Round that totem
With a knife to my throat Round that totem
Yeah! They're chanting the oath
Singing 'bout mama all through the night round that totem of the red light
In girl nation Female civilization
Girl nation Female civilization
In girl nation by interstellar navigation
And sweet female persuasion
Globetrotting to ladyland Back where time began
One wild second then I was down
One full circle they stood all around
Counting my bones waiting to be dead
When a soft loving hand lifted my head
Tender lips kissing my chin, whispering:
- Honey, where have you been?
In girl nation Totem of the red light
Female civilization
In girl nation Totem of the red light
It's a female civilization Girl nation
Totem of the red light
By interstellar navigation & sweet female persuasion
Globetrotting through ladyland - back where time began

Golden Way
Wonder when the sun will set today
People don't care either way
Some are lookin' for work
Or slaving away
Another golden autumn day
See the fallen leaves are dollar bills
And everyone's a millionaire
I will keep away from morning's grey
A private sun is shining down all day
Of all the golden mornings
This one's so much better
A golden dream is talking
Making friends with strangers
Golden way
Golden nights
and days..
We look in all places
Where it might be near
Make the noise
It likes to hear..
The part that doesn't age
Drifting back to childhood ways
I will keep away from the morning's grey
A private sun smiles down all day
Of all the golden mornings
This one's so much better
The golden dream is talking
Making friends with strangers
Of all the golden mornings
Spelled with golden letters
Upon a gold arrival
Golden dreams for strangers
Golden way
Golden nights
And days
People don't care either way
Some are lookin' for work
Or slaving away
Another golden autumn day
See the fallen leaves are dollar bills
And everyone's a millionaire
I will keep away from morning's grey
A private sun is shining down all day
Of all the golden mornings
This one's so much better
A golden dream is talking
Making friends with strangers
Golden way
Golden nights
and days..
We look in all places
Where it might be near
Make the noise
It likes to hear..
The part that doesn't age
Drifting back to childhood ways
I will keep away from the morning's grey
A private sun smiles down all day
Of all the golden mornings
This one's so much better
The golden dream is talking
Making friends with strangers
Of all the golden mornings
Spelled with golden letters
Upon a gold arrival
Golden dreams for strangers
Golden way
Golden nights
And days
Grow Or Pay
There was a real thin line
Between right or wrong
In those Walt Disney times
When my parents were young..
But the line has disappeared...
And you wonder where it hides....
And you wanna go out; but you stay inside.....
I got run over by truth one day
Didn't see the red light
Since the accident I've walked this way
- I only did what felt right...
But from this day on; it's either: grow or pay!
Grow or pay
'Coz I got run over by truth one day
Sometimes the sky's so grey
That you cannot see beyond it
And even the wildest of dreams
- Can't take those lines from your forehead
Yeah! I know there's a bill
- And it's gonna make it's way somehow
With and excuse and a bow; I'll be paying it now:
I got run over by truth one day

Hate To Say I Told You So
I need to be afraid, said the kindweak man
As he lay cuddled up in his bed with those whispers around his head
Yeah, he'd come to nothing in a way - in a way that left him
With nothing to say but: o.k.! Yeah, his eyes only worked one way
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
And the thing that destroys you, is that you had the answers right here
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
I told you I told you I hate to say I told you so..
Old scars, but the cuts were new, said the girl, who loved many
But trusted a few, yeah, it's true - 'coz she feared anyone new
She lend out her feelings of pure affection, he kept the collection
And the missing piece of her heart - Yeah, her eyes only looked that far
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
And the thing that destroys you, is that you had the answers right here
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
I told you I told you I hate to say I told you so..
There's murder going on inside...
Yeah, 'coz you only see so much through the human eye
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
And the thing that destroys you, is that you had the answers right here
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear

Helpyourselfish
I've been bounced around
But I'm still standing up

That my ears they popped

Gotta have a clean conscience
But even better: None at all!!
But if you can't be good - Be careful yeah!
It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish.
And when your friends begin to loose their way..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish..
Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish...
Through the revolving door on someone elses push
Yeah it's easy to be hard Easy to be hard...
In between those who've got it made
- And those who've got to wait..
Yeah, I'll offer you a chair
But when you sit down - It isn't there!
Always quick to lend a hand

Hey Little Airplane
Can you ask a big jet to listen
Wave goodbye to the cares of the day
A million mirrors turning their heads now
Lose the ground; we're up and away..
A secret bag for passports and cash
A bottle of aspirin® to chew in the crash
A lift into the silence above
It's allright, let's fly.!
Hey little airplane.!
Do you know where you're going to take me?
Hey little airplane.!
You know you're always getting it your way.!
Balanced on the tip of the mountain
Unknown people all around
Don't uou think that we've been up for too long?
Still, I'll never want to come down..
But, it's all a false solution
Back to rags and revolution
One place is as bad as another
Oh, man.. We're gonna land.!
Hey, little airplane
Do you know where you're going to take me?
Hey, little airplane
Do you know you're always gettin' it your way!
Hey, little airplane
Do you know where you're gonna take me?
Above the clouds
It's a beautyful day forever
Above the clouds
The day will last forever
Hey, little airplane ...
Wave goodbye to the cares of the day
A million mirrors turning their heads now
Lose the ground; we're up and away..
A secret bag for passports and cash
A bottle of aspirin® to chew in the crash
A lift into the silence above
It's allright, let's fly.!

Hey Now
My feet were in London
My head in the clouds
And I'm constantly moving
With the holiday crowds
This happy future
Is a thing of the past
I watch the day ending
I watch shadows pass the city's
Arriving I begin to feel fine
Then the city sits down
And I go out of my mind
I've ended up taking
The longest way home
I'm cool but I'm all alone
Hey now I'm out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There's nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad
Enough for one day now
The edge of the world
Look at the frontpage
And what it did to the girl
Her shit was together
Her feet on the ground
Now it's sounding like zippers
As the dryer goes round
To the man with the most
Whose face never changes
Enough for one day now
Yeah - I'm cool
Hey now I'm out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There's nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad hey hey
Just hear what I say
I take the blame
But not the pain pain pain
My head in the clouds
And I'm constantly moving
With the holiday crowds
This happy future
Is a thing of the past
I watch the day ending
I watch shadows pass the city's
Arriving I begin to feel fine
Then the city sits down
And I go out of my mind
I've ended up taking
The longest way home
I'm cool but I'm all alone
Hey now I'm out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There's nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad
Enough for one day now
The edge of the world
Look at the frontpage
And what it did to the girl

Home Alone 4
Gently my eyelids close, I'd rather be good than clever
I'd rather have all facts wrong than no reply whatever..
I learned before I could speak with those "being patient eyes"
When God created my kind. But he forgot to tell me why
So gently my eyelids close..
All alone, at home I sit - I'm very tired of it
Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad
I lost the thread I thought I had...
Led by hearts & ears - memory lagging behind
No shame being a fool, I got many things on my mind
Pick up the phone on first riiiing - I never get out anymore..
There's nowhere to go, but back and there's quicksand outside my door
So gently my eyelids close
All alone, at home I sit - I'm very tired of it
Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad
I lost the thread I thought I had.. I lost it - I lost it. Yeah!
Is that a shadow - or a hole in the floor?
And what's that noise outside my door??
Home alone. On my own.. And all alone...
I'd rather have all facts wrong than no reply whatever..
I learned before I could speak with those "being patient eyes"
When God created my kind. But he forgot to tell me why
So gently my eyelids close..
All alone, at home I sit - I'm very tired of it
Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad
I lost the thread I thought I had...
Led by hearts & ears - memory lagging behind
No shame being a fool, I got many things on my mind
Pick up the phone on first riiiing - I never get out anymore..
There's nowhere to go, but back and there's quicksand outside my door
So gently my eyelids close
All alone, at home I sit - I'm very tired of it
Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad
I lost the thread I thought I had.. I lost it - I lost it. Yeah!
Is that a shadow - or a hole in the floor?
And what's that noise outside my door??
Home alone. On my own.. And all alone...
