1. WORD IS OUT

I went to the bar last night, got shitfaced like I always do
The night was young, and I was feeling alright, same as ever,
nothing new
Then some dude came up to me and this is what he said:
Yo Aper, I've got some news for you, I bet you haven't heard this yet

Saw your girlfriend with another dude last night
Thought I'd tell you, cause this shit just don't seem right

Now what have you got to say for yourself, what have you got to say?

Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me
Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me

So I stayed home, watched Rocky 6, fantastic movie, must admit
The beer was cold, and the weed was killer, still I really felt like shit
Had this dude been shitting me, just fuckin with my brain?
The thought of you with another dude is driving me insane

I don't wanna spend Christmas alone this year
Eating noodles whiles just crying in my beer

Now what have you got to say for yourself, what have you got to say?

Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me
Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me

Word is out, word is out on the street.. [x6]

Now what have you got to say for yourself, what have you got to say?

Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me
Word is out, word is out on the street
You rather hang out with him than you do with me...


2. FRIDAY NIGHT KILLED SATURDAY FUN

It was Friday, somewhere in September
What a nightmare, I can still remember
Yeah we down to the club to see the punkrockshow

And when we got there, there was nothing else to do
But just start drinking, cause the bands were pretty bad
Just stop the thinking, have another beer let's go

This is the story of a good time going bad
The next day I woke up with steamtrains in my head

Friday night killed Saturday fun
Friday night killed Saturday fun
As far as I'm concerned it had only just begun
But Friday night killed Saturday fun

You should've seen us, sitting there the morning after
In the backseat, of the van, what a disaster
We were heading to the south to play a punkrockshow

Let me rephrase that,
We were heading south to play some stupid party
For a bunch of trendy kids that looked retarded they didn't like us much

This is the story of a bad time going worse
I think we're losing him, somebody call a nurse

Friday night killed Saturday fun
Friday night killed Saturday fun
As far as I'm concerned it had only just begun
But Friday night killed Saturday fun

Yeah, we all swore we'd never drink again
We all gave up smoking that day
We all agreed we needed change and harmony in life
No one deserves to live this way
No one deserves to live this way

Friday night killed Saturday fun
Friday night killed Saturday fun
As far as I'm concerned it had only just begun
But Friday night killed Saturday fun


3. PLEASE COME BACK TO ME (I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU

Please Come back to me I can't live without you
Please Come back to me I can't live with'

It used to be so funny,
Hanging out with you honey
Every day and night
It used to be so cool,

You made me feel alright
It used to be so great, when we used to date
Oh, how I fell for you
It used to be so fine, when you were mine
But now we're through

And now I'm all alone
My friends tell me I'm better off this way
How can they know?
They don't know you like I do
And they don't know that I need you

4. I FEEL LIKE A LAME-ASS EXTRA IN A U2 VIDEO

I feel so useless, I feel so small
I feel like a hippie at the Headbanger's Ball
I feel so stupid, I feel so dumb
I feel like a mojito without any rum

I'm decoration, that's it
I'm always around but no one gives a shit

I feel like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video
I feel like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video

I feel retarded, I feel so lame
I feel like a midget in a basketball game
Can't feel my fingers, can't feel my toes
I won't make a cent today, but that's just the way it goes

I'm decoration, that's it
I'm always around but no one gives a shit

I Feel Like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video
I Feel Like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video

I wanna go where the streets have no name
Wait, I did not just say that, that's too fuckin' lame
And now I'm stuck in a moment that I can't get out of
Somebody shoot me please

I'm decoration, that's it
I'm always around but no one gives a shit

I feel like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video
I feel like, I feel like a Lame-Ass Extra in a U2 Video


5. EVERYDAY IS A ROCK'N ROLL DAY

Sometimes I hate my life, I don't know what to do
I try to make things work, but I ain't got a clue
I'm in a big dark room, and I can't find the light
I try my very best, but I can't get it right

But then I find myself, tapping along to the beat
It makes me wanna go outside and hit the streets
Meet up with my friends that mean the world to me
Yeah, this is exactly how I want it to be
I'm doing great, I'm doing fine
I gotta keep on thing in mind

Every day is a rock 'n roll day
You gotta roll with the punches, stay on top of the game
And every night is a rock n roll night
If you're gonna do it, do it right

They say the world's a stage and we must all play a part
Sometimes I rather stay at home and play air-guitar
Yeah, there's a sweatpants party at 34c
Fuck the world, I'm hanging out with me

But then this tiny voice inside my head tells me to
Get off of the couch, there's things to do
There's a rockshow going on, and my name's on the list
And I don't wanna hear about the action I've missed
Hey can't you tell, hey, can't you see?
It's pretty obvious to me

Every day is a rock 'n roll day
You gotta roll with the punches, stay on top of the game
And every night is a rock n roll night
If you're gonna do it, do it right

I might not be here for a long time
But I'm here for a good time...
I might not be here for a long time
But I'm here for a good time...

Every day is a rock 'n roll day
You gotta roll with the punches, stay on top of the game
And every night is a rock n roll night
If you're gonna do it, do it right

Every day is a rock 'n roll day
You gotta roll with the punches, stay on top of the game
And every night is a rock n roll night
If you're gonna do it, do it right.....


6. ...BUT THEN SHE SMILES

She doesn't like me too much, she tells me every time
She doesn't want me around, she doesn't wanna be mine
Anymore, anyhow, seems like I blew it somehow
I guess I leave her alone until again I'm allowed

In her presence again, hanging out with her friends
I still have a long way to go
Sometimes I wanna give up, end it all right now

She puts her love on the line, she keeps her heart on a shelf
She hides away in a world with no one there but herself
Every day, every night, she always closes the blinds
But in hallway she makes sure that there's always a light

Oh how I wish, I could forget about her
It would make my life less complicated
That's an understatement, I'm telling you

But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
My girl again someday [x2]

It breaks my heart when I see her sometimes walking around
All by herself, late at night, while she just stares at the ground
What is she thinking about, what's going on in her head?
Does she remember the day, the day that we first met?

I guess I'll never find out
The clock is ticking the wrong way
Outside the rain is pouring down
The bridge is burning, the damage done

But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
My girl again someday [x2]

One day she'll come back to me
That's the way it's gotta be
We're setting sail for bluer skies
I love her and she loves me
A classic item, now can't you see
If not man, open up your eyes
You can tell it by the way she always smiles...

But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
My girl again someday [x5]


7. KILLING ME AGAIN

Send "Killing Me Again" Ringtone to your Cell
Should I regret some things I did,
or some stuff I said
But nothing's gonna change, I live my life my way
Never gonna find the peace that I'm not searching for
The tables won't be turning, I live my life today

There's this plaque between us, I can see it
And it's killing me again
It's coming back

You've kicked me down to the ground
Like everything's my fault
You've spit me right in the face, in the worst possible way
Now this is the last time, I'm leaving now
So I can tell myself and say: "I live today"

Should I regret some things I did, or some stuff I said
Your ace still beat my king when I walked
out of this game
Could you be the devil lost in heaven, lost without a trace
If you feel cold of disappointment, then I feel hot today

There's this plaque between us, I can see it
And it's killing me again
It's coming back

You've kicked me down to the ground
Like everything's my fault
You've spit me right in the face, in the worst possible way
Now this is the last time, I'm leaving now
So I can tell myself and say: "I live today"


8. WINTERTHUR

I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight

I still remember it like yesterday o-o-ooh
Drove down to Switzerland with Ox and Tate and Paul
Went to Glasgow, saw the Manges and the Queers
The Cheekbones put us up, they also gave us beers

In the middle of night, everybody was alright
Switzerland ain't that bad after all
Everyone was doing fine, no problems of any kind
Fair to say it was miracle
Now someone get me out of here

I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight

As I recall now, 6 months later I went back
What was I thinking, man, was Aper smoking crack
Hell no, I just smoke pot, but what yr gonna do
I had a show to play, wha o-o-o-o-oh

Right when I came off the stage, bad luck slapped me in the face
Someone stole my hooded sweater
Visions popped up in my head of me outside frozen to death
Wearing nothing but my leather
Now someone get me out of here

I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight
I don't wanna die in the streets of Winterthur tonight...


9. ALWAYS HAVE PARIS

I don't know what to say you, but I guess that's alright
I haven't felt way since our final Friday night
I took you to the airport and you got on that plane
Away from here, away from me, away from all the pain

It's ok, I understand, I would've done the same
Things did not work out for us, and we are both to blame

But I will always love you with everything I've got
And I will always be there for you, no matter what
We will always have Paris, remember that
Always have Paris

I tried to write you letters but couldn't find the words
Guess everything I'd write to you would make us both feel worse
I drove by all the places that remind me of you
The best of times, the worst of times, the stuff that we went through

I still can't believe that we're an ocean apart
I'll always have a special place for you here in my heart

But I will always love you with everything I've got
And I will always be there for you, no matter what
We will always have Paris, remember that
Always have Paris

I still can't believe that we're an ocean apart
I'll always have a special place for you here in my heart

But I will always love you with everything I've got
And I will always be there for you, no matter what
We will always have Paris, remember that
Always have Paris


10. PUT DOWN THE HAMBURGER

Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with the world today
So many people living fucked up lives in many different ways
Instead of opening a beer, I open my eyes for a chance
This one goes out to all the fat kids

Put down the hamburger, it's not worth it and one day you will regret it
And it's not gonna make it any better in the end
Put down the hamburger, you don't need it, you don't wanna be the fat kid
All it takes is some discipline, my little, chubby friends

I watched the news today, it almost made me cry
Disasters, death, destruction, children suffer, people die
Wish I could help them all, impossible, but here's a Euro
Don't spend it all in one place

Put down the chili fries
Put down the cheese soufflè
Put down the pizza slice
Put down the chocolate cake, just do it now, you'll thank me later!


11. 24 BOTTLES OF FUN

24 bottles of fun
I just got me 24 bottles of fun
24 bottles of fun is all I need
24 bottles of fun guaranteed


12. HOLD ON TO ME

You feel angry, betrayed, pushed away, insecure and completely alone
You called all of your family and friends but no one would answer the phone
You feel lost in this world, you feel so outta step with the rest of the crowd
You are stuck in a maze, but no one understands what you're talking about

You still hide behind lies and you cover the truth with a nod and a smile
You decided you're just gonna go with the flow, sit it out for while
You feel trapped in a circle that's vicious and cruel, you seem nailed to the ground
You are chained to a life that's designed just to drag you all the way down

Hold on to me
There's more to life than safety and security
Hold on to me
Your heart should be your #1 priority
So why don't you hold on to me?

Hold on to me...


13. WHATEVER IT TAKES

Wondering, what I would do, I'd swim straight from here to Peru
I'd take the sun out of the sky, hurt animals, make children cry
I'd sell cocaine to teenage mums, switch on the chair, I'd drop the bombs
On New York City and Japan, Jeruzalem, Afghanistan

Dress up as Hitler, smoke some crack, abuse that monkey on my back
I'd move to Texas, grow a beard, stop jacking off to Britney Spears
I'd sell my body to the night, I'd drink some urine, start a fight
Between the Germans and the Jews, take bets on who will win or lose

Wondering how far I'd go, sell Chinese Kids to Mexico
I'd eat my veggies, get a job, play air guitar to Blitzkrieg bop
Join Greenpeace, start an emo band, steel money from my closest friends
Tell prostitutes "Go fuck yourself", start caring more about my health

Star in pornographic movie, take a crap in the jacuzzi
Do my homework, pay the rent, hide rusty nails under the sand
I'd nuke the world, I'd sweep the floor, I'd steal the blues from Gary Moore
Fuck all of you, my parents too, there's nothing that I wouldn't do

I'd do whatever it takes to get over you
I dare you to come up with something that I wouldn't do
I'd do whatever it takes to get over you
Because the way things are right now, I'm sorry, no can do
And If I don't get over you, I don't know what I'd do
I don't know what I'd do
