Cheerleader

Cheerleader I want you, then I found out that you were a man
cheerleader I want you, then I found out that you were a man
I was a better man, who wanted to get to know you better
then I found hair under your sweater
that´s when I had to do run around and I went
cheerleader I want you, then I found out that you were a man
cheerleader I want you, then I found out that you were a man

I heard the girls were jealous
but they were just suspicious
something flip in the shower
and the date with you I had to stall it on and I went
cheerleader I want you, then I found out that you were a man
cheerleader I want you, then I found out that you were a man

it´s hot as hell forever when you’re jumping up and down with your pompoms
drooling with envy and more then now
some of your friends boys had their doubts
I heard on my transistor, that you were nobodies sister
oh the humiliation I gained, that’s when you had to do run around and I went
cheerleader I want you, then I found out that you were a man
cheerleader I want you, then I found out that you were a man

Spree

Make sometime to turn up with me
join my dream favourite fantasy
come with me babe and you will see
that I was meant to be your destiny

so give me tickets to the band
its the only way that I enjoy them
I´ll be 50 when they land on Mars
hard punk band, that you were joking

about to make me spree, that remains to see
you´re make me spree, that remains to see

land where we like, maybe in the sea
see what we like while underneath
make sometime to turn up with me
join my dream favourite fantasy
about to make me spree, that remains to see
you´re make me spree, that remains to see

red eyes, red lips, can I turn the light
staring blankly, sweetly smile, come with me
sleep with me, whisper softly with such style

Just Another Dream

When you see them on the stage
all made up and such a rage
people cry and people scream
at the band oh what a dream
oh yeah, but I know, that it´s not so

people live and people cry
people laugh and people die
all of them don’t know the face
that go on in this dream

oh yeah, but I know that it’s not so

it´s not too easy when you´re feeling alright
people talking on through the night
but how can I possibly explain
my feelings on this plane
you say that its not up to me
I´m just keep your entertainment you see

oh yeah but I know that it’s not so
cause I’m here now

people stalking the streets for a while
all made up, its so out of style
they don´t know, they just block it out
when you tell them they just stand and shout

Silver Apples

Silver apples
falling from the tree
golden oranges
swaying in the breeze
my mouth is open
to catch the taste
the skin is shining
reflecting all people weeping

That’s Wow

That´s wow

girl of the canyons
it’s your birthday today
you gave me a dollar ten to get me on the way
you took it back
so well it seemed
check both sides
no one could see
you´re looking back down and feeling fine
that´s when you looked around, and said "will you be mine"

People, Why Are You Weeping?

Girl of the canyons
it´s your birthday today
you gave me a Dollar ten
to get me on my way
you took it badly
so well it seemed
check both sides
right out to sea
looking back and feeling fine
that´s when you looked around and said "will you be mine"

people why are you weeping (why do you weep)
I tell you why (I’ll tell you why)
and all the while
you tried to smile, watch out and cry

Oceans So Deep

Walking away
diving away
walking, without friends and smiling
diving into oceans so deep
talking of things in the past
and diving into oceans so deep
so change your mind
and think of time to come
so change your thought
we can be as one
killing, killing time as we throw
and diving into oceans so deep

Take A Ride

Take me for a trip on your magic sailing ship
take me to those places that I have never seen
just me and you, with the ocean blue
underneath the sky and it starts to cry well
it´s you make me taste
they´re taking me away from you now

take me for a ride to your helter skelter hard out
in the battles we go home
well we can roam and roam
soldiers body one for a call
it´s a game they play
they beat the world away and it´s happening everyday

I´ve got a broken heart and a broken body too
just I come home to a room filled out of you
but I’m a rocking one, I’m a killers son
but the colour’s gone there ain´t no
and said you were happy just to be alive

Dog The Bone

Saw her massage hanging on the line
an invitation to a fight
and her mum said she’s not home
she´s out being dog the bone
and I won´t see her till she’s 25
and so long now I’ve listened to lies
I just found out that my mum´s alive
try to reach her with a mega phone
but your out being dog the bone
and I can´t see her till she’s 25
a picture that I found under my bed
with an invitation I should have read
but now I know my mum is not dead
some things are going right in my head
and I won´t find her til she’s 25

Motels On My Mind

Motels are on my mind
I´ve got to get some sleep sometime
my head spins and I don´t know
my head spinning and down I go
too long is the road
taking me everywhere but home
yeah misguided and missing friend
no beginning and a secret to no end
got too many ??
only to end up
got it over now
a double bed in front of me
that’s too good to believe
crashing out, I lay alone
til tomorrow nights always another show
I used to have a girlfriend
I used to have a lot of things
but now I just abuse to lose it all
the memories a wrecked life
incomplete, but not so bad
ten seconds in the room
yeah lost without a trace
no sign to follow
there´s nothing, nothing for me to embrace
we´re going backwards
to try to find me the end
but that’s always around the next bend
yeah, I´m feeling confused and I
I can close my eyes til my darkness goes
till my darkness goes

Hippy Dribble

Sitting in a meadow
and I´m eating wild strawberries
and I´m grounding my teeth to think of something that´s not there
I cut my hand on my ear
while I’m eating wild strawberries
and I don´t need a sea shell to hear the sea

it´s such a turn on
sitting under the hot sun
I gotta keep remembering, but I just don´t wanna know
whatever happens to me baby, it won´t last
whatever I´m feeling baby, it won´t last
whatever I´ve taken baby, it won´t last
and when will I come down ‘cause I hope it happens fast to me

well I’m squeezing a ride
while I’m eating wild strawberries
and I wonder about the quality of a back in the moon
sitting in a meadow
and I’m eating wild strawberries
and I’m grounding my teeth to think of something that’s not there

hippy dribble
whatever happened to hippy dribble
silver apples
hippy dribble

Lurve

L-U-R-VE
love you baby, all night long
L-U-R-VE
and when I feel you´re coming
when the man hit the past
and it makes me lurve to the end of time
you know I´m not lying
L-U-R-VE
love you and not like out to know
I know your both sides out of Joe
I say what´s the problem now

Filthy

Our mind’s are made up and the for is clear
it tasted good, let´s get fucking out of here
it´s filthy

Eskimo

L-U-R-VE, love you baby all night long

get out of the house, drill the hours, should be here at 4 in the ??
would you like a banana smoothie honey
don´t wanna let you to them honey
let´s go and then walked up to the stand
the team was in huddle and the girl walked across the puddle
chased her across the field
and what we saw didn´t mean much at the time
but then this is a cool song
he had a home movie
she thought it was really groovy
?? said again a creeper, he was just touching people
that the girl don´t want a boy
I go through patches only I get trails and traces
want to climb on top but I lent against it was wrong
I didn´t climb on top of the love
that the boy don´t want a girl
