Puzzle:
I remember when this was different then a job
for friendship and for fun, in harmony we got it done
we had a good scene going in our hometown Pennybridge
Most of those bands are gone, it can be tough to stand alone
so many times it has been shown

But it looks good, just as it should
feels good, not for me I can't say that yet

You were my girl until this day
I can't understand you're not anymore
more than two years shared with you
all the things that we've been through
In my memory forever, you'll be there until I die
and though this is the end, I love you more then as a friend
doesn't matter it's the end

But it looks good, just as it should
feels good, not when you're filled up with regret

Everything has it's time and I will sure have mine
so many things that we start almost tear us apart, eventually
everyone has their own way they got to go
so many things that we start with people who breaks our heart
one time, then do the same to another one

But it looks good, just as it should
feels good, not for me I can't say that yet
But it looks good, just as it should
feels good, not when you're filled up with regret
feels good, not for me I can't say that yet
feels good,
if I felt good today you know that I would stay



Lozin' Must :
Looking back with anger, looking back with joy and laughs
Don't ask me all those questions, cause I don't have the answers now
I tried to hold back all my thoughts and all my dreams
Just to make things better, I was using myself past my means

But all those days are gone
And I can't find the path that I should follow
I'm walking unknow land
Mile after mile I search the way back to my mind
And I can not believe how hard is to find
When I'm down

I used to make things easy, I used to be a happy guy
But now things seem so different, that I can't even play the game
I got to try to find the way thru all this now
So what I need now, is someone to read the map cause I don't know howBut all those days are gone

But all those days are gone
And I can't find the path that I should follow
I'm walking unknow land
Mile after mile I search the way back to my mind
And I can not believe how hard is to find
When I'm down


I fell ashamed and I'm to blame
Cause I tried to be, I tried to see things from my side
And I also bleed, I also need some space
It's time to close this case

But all those days are gone
And I can't find the path that I should follow
I'm walking unknow land
Mile after mile I search the way back to my mind
And I can not believe how hard is to find
When I'm down


Random I Am :
Every morning, it's a new surprise
don't know who I am before I roll the dice
the options is the only thing that I decide
you see, I live for the moment now
I never did before, with all and everything I sweap the floor
random I am, I never give a damn about what's gonna happen next
my wife and kids they left me and my job is just a memory
but that's the kind of price you've got to pay
if you're gonna go your own way

solving problems can be done in many ways
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I just roll the dice.

Get rid of all the habits now that's the plan
come on and try it and you'll feel grand
the first step is the hardest step to take
imagination is the only brake
just roll the dice and everything will turn out nice
you can be who you wanna be
do what you wanna do and do it how you like

this is my way of getting through the day
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
It's okay, cause I just have to pretend
It's okay, cause I just have to pretend
that I am someone else

Woah, Whoah

It's just my way of getting through the day
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
It's okay, cause I just have to pretend
It's okay, cause I just have to pretend
that I am someone else

But I, I still don't know, I still don't know
No I, I still don't know, I still don't know
Cause I, I still don't know, I still don't know
No I still don't know


Boring Planet :
When I was a kid, you know I thought that I could fly
Threw myself out of a window, right out into the sky
Now when I am older now I know that I could die
Die from a depression, I would learn my lesson well
Life's so normal, nothing's shockin'
Boring Planet cause no one here is rockin'
Life's so tragic, nothings' clockin'
Boring Planet cause no one here is rockin' hard

When I was a kid you know I thought that I was strong
The girls in school got beaten up by me every day long
Now when I am older now I know that it was wrong
To deal with girls in first place, cause a broken heart is now the case
A broken hearted in disgrace

It's a boring planet, we're just lying to ourselves
It's a boring planet, thanks to us and no one else


Monkey Boogie:
When I am lozin' must in a conversation
it makes me use my imagination
start to think that they're after me
cause I'm as shore as those monkeys hope
the chat goes on and I feel smaller
the guys in front of me they get taller
when,when I open my mouth again to tell them something more
they answer me with a hockeyscore

Must be strong, can't be wrong
lozin' must,
yeah loozin' trust in yourself(x2)

Well, I have this girl and I make here crazy
when I'm gone she's bored and lazy
I get a kick from pushin' her
but I'm not sure about how she feels about it
my favorite hockeyteam are strugglin'
it makes my stomach bubblin' bad
their hard time really makes me sad
we had some fucked up years
now it's time to whipe away those tears
(chourus)
It's been a tough time for me this past year
lots of questions who I am or what I wanna be
I also found some answers the fog is gone
I feel better every day and now the feeling is here to stay
(chourus x2)



Twenty Two :
Every morning, it's a new surprise
don't know who I am before I roll the dice
the options is the only thing that I decide
you see, I live for the moment now
I never did before, with all and everything I sweap the floor
random I am, I never give a damn about what's gonna happen next
my wife and kids they left me and my job is just a memory
but that's the kind of price you've got to pay
if you're gonna go your own way

solving problems can be done in many ways
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I just roll the dice.

Get rid of all the habits now that's the plan
come on and try it and you'll feel grand
the first step is the hardest step to take
imagination is the only brake
just roll the dice and everything will turn out nice
you can be who you wanna be
do what you wanna do and do it how you like

this is my way of getting through the day
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
It's okay, cause I just have to pretend
It's okay, cause I just have to pretend
that I am someone else

Woah, Whoah


Black Gold :

you think you're cool cause you know every girl in town, but you don't do,
cause when you're out at night they don't
look your way, you've got all that trendy shit and a jolly air for brains
and you are busy to watch out for that ugly girl you know
you think girls like that will ruin your style, cause a perfect guy like
you need something more
you're so cool, you've got everything a girl desire, you're so cool, with a
perfect butt you can go far
you're telling me that I am thinking way too small to understand that you
have reached your goals and I am far away
and all the things you say that you know I don't want to hear, so throw
your empty words away and listen to what I say
I'm not jealous in all the lies you tell, just take it easy, you might end
up in hell
you're so perfect, you've got everything and you are way to cool to
understand that you are out of line


Trendy Winds :
Trendy winds are blowing through my hair
The punk elite are checking every thing I wear
I'm tired of their endelss whine, why can't they mind their own ?
Cause what I am is what I will be
Don't need you or your crew
To tell me what to think or do
Everyday when you try to waste my time
I waste a rhyme

Sometimes I can't understand what's wrong
Cause this whole scene is filled with people who's bad and nong
You're an idiot a loser man, if you go their way
Cause you don't need no one-track now

Sometimes I can't understand what's wrong
To all you suckers we dedicate this song



Otis:
I remember when this was different then a job
for friendship and for fun, in harmony we got it done
we had a good scene going in our hometown Pennybridge
Most of those bands are gone, it can be tough to stand alone
so many times it has been shown

But it looks good, just as it should
feels good, not for me I can't say that yet

You were my girl until this day
I can't understand you're not anymore
more than two years shared with you
all the things that we've been through
In my memory forever, you'll be there until I die
and though this is the end, I love you more then as a friend
doesn't matter it's the end

But it looks good, just as it should
feels good, not when you're filled up with regret

Everything has it's time and I will sure have mine
so many things that we start almost tear us apart, eventually
everyone has their own way they got to go
so many things that we start with people who breaks our heart

But it looks good, just as it should
feels good, not for me I can't say that yet
But it looks good, just as it should

Light's Out :
Looking back with anger, looking back with joy and laughs
But don't ask me all those questions, cause I don't have the answers now
I tried to hold back , all my thoughts and all my dreams
Just to make things better, I was using myself past my means

But all those days are gone
And I can't find the path that I should follow
I'm walking unknown land
Mile after mile I search the way back to my mind
And I can not believe how hard is to find
When I'm down

I used to take things easy, I used to be a happy guy
But now things seems so different, that I can't even play the game
I got to try to find the way thru all this now yeah
So what I need now, is someone to read the map cause I don't know how

'Cuz all those days are gone
And I can't find the path that I should follow
I'm walking unknown land
Mile after mile I search the things that I can't find
Without you now

I fell ashamed and I'm to blame
Cause I tried to be, I tried to see things from my side
And I also bleed, I also need some space
It's time to close this case

But all those days are gone
And I can't find the path that I should follow
I'm walking unknown land
Mile after mile I search the way back to my mind
And I can not believe how hard is to find
Mile after mile I'm searching all the things
That I can't find without you now!


Entrance At Rudebrook :

The joy and the pain, it's all in the game
but right now the joy's far away
we're gonna take it back to how it was before now
so what if we're last, so what if we're gone
you're waiting for that day, but I know it won't come
we've reached the bottom and now we're just looking forward

For twelve years I've been down
but I'm not whining, I'm still smiling
I'm still around every nite

every Sunday or Wednesday I'll be there
with all the other folks biting those nails
and some of us I know that we would die for you
maybe you think it's just cause I have my smartcard
but forget that pall, tell you what
we're in it and we're in it to win it

so many hours spent in that building
and all the memories divine
just a few more seasons, then we'll be back
ready to attack, ready to take on the top again

so what if we're last, so what if we're last today
so what if we're last, we cant stay last forever

for twelve years i've been down, but im not
whining, im still smiling, and im still around
every nite


Lowlife :
We lost our luggage and we lost our smiles
We've been the melancholy brothers so many times
And when we went down to an unknown club
She did the best she could to sheer us up
Leona said
We could go in for free
Leona was
So pretty indeed
Infected by Madonna she was nr one
Haven't met a girl like that in a long, long time
Damn we had to leave I swear we had no choice
But one thing to remember is her tiny voice
Leona said
We could go in for free
Leona was
So pretty indeed
Sometimes when your all alone
You're not expecting much from anyone
Maybe that's the reason why
She was so lovely to me
But if I get a super job
Then I will work, yes work really hard
To get me some money and go somewhere
And find a girl like her
Leona said
(Repeat 4x)
Leona said
We could go in for free
Leona was
So pretty indeed
