Puzzle


Here we are again with another bunch of soft songs
Maybe you are wondering why it took us so long
With a schedule tight, studiotime in sight
We have mostly been out touring
Inspiration has been hard this time and honestly
I've had some prolems with all these rhymes

We're under stress again
But it has always been that way
And once we get it right,
Then I know it's there to stay

Third album, less of ska, and not so many fast ones
More of poppy, pushy songs, those that we do best now
Nine to five at Unisound in january '97
We had the greatest time with Dan, as engineer
Now the outcome is what you hear

We're under stress again
But it has always been that way
And once we get it right,
Then I know it's there to stay
We're under stress again,
But we're used to all that now
It's always tough at first but somehow,
We always end up fine

If you're lonely, if you're happy
Feeling swell or feeling blue,
We might have a tune for you
And it's about half of an hour,
Maybe less or maybe more
Whatever it might be it's still softcore

Lozin' Must


When I am lozin' must in a conversation
It makes me use my imagination
Start to think they're after me
Cause I'm a sore as those monkeys hope
The chat goes on and I feel smaller
The guys in front of me they get taller
When I open my mouth again to tell them something more
They answer me with a hockeyscore

Must be strong, can't be wrong
Or you'll be lozin' must, you'll be lozin' trust in yourself

Well I hace this girl and I make her 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 favourite 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

It's been a tough time for me this past year
Lots of questions who I am, what I wanna be
Also found some anwers, the fog is gone
I feel better every day and now the feeling is here to stay

Random I Am


Every morning, it's a new surprise
Don't know who I am before I roll the dice
The option is the only thign that I decide
You see, I live for a 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 my job is just a memory
But that's the kind of price you've gotta pay
If you're gonna go your own way
Solvin' problems can be done in many ways

I don't care, I just roll the dice
It's O.K, cause I just have to pretend that I am someone else

Get rid of all the habits not 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, but I still don't know

Boring Planet


When I was a kid I 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


A snake, a fake, he's lame, he's in the game
For the money and for the fame
A spin, a grin, he's on and then we yawn
He steals the credit, then he is gone
He's the man with the plan and at first he'll seem helpful
To make sure that you're on the hook
He's so full of bull, and he sure will pull
Some strings to make things go his way
Yeah, everything will go his way

We're in the monkey biz
The monkey boogie is nothing new
And he'll be doin' the dance with you

Humble, mumble, stumble, don't think so
That is not the way to go
Connect, collect, correct, now what did you expect ?
Did you think that he seriously cares for you ?
Do the monkey boogie rango, orango-tango, baboon !

Twenty Two


I'm one year older now since last time I saw you
In case you wanna know I'm about to say what I'm up to
First of all I'm a sluggard movin' slow in a clumpsy way
Some peace of mind is what I wan't but that'll be the day
I've been goin' with the flow for too long now this must end
Runnin' round in circles,
I've been so far from myself
Searching for the energie
And the time to make a change in my life
Instead of watching it pass by,
Get something done while I'm alive

I'm twenty two, don't know what I'm supposed to do
Or how to be to get some more out of me
I'm twenty two, so far away from all my dreams
I'm twenty two, feeling blue

I try to activate myself the best I can
So boredom won't catch up with me I've got my daily plan
Wake up late, the rehearse a bit with the band, I guess it's cool ?
And later when I'm home again I boil a note or two
Then go to bed is what I do

Afraid that I will be weak forever
I can't stay in this shape any longer
My life is just another cliché

Black Gold


Can you pass me tha black gold ?
I wanna know how many shirts got sold
I'm gonna beat you in soccer
We bought our Juve-shirts in italian footlocker
We saw the real world today
Poor swedes we're afraid
Left France behind us
Broke some fingers of Magnus

Like it or not, I always say that I'd rather go home
Like it or not, this time I never wanted to go home

Ingredients is a big thing
We crown Stavanger to king
Wanna se more of Moulder
At night the bus is getting colder
We saw the real world today,
Did you know it's in Brussels ?
Now we hope that you've missed us
We'll be home to X-mas

Wanna see you again someday soon,
It'd be great you're totally O.K.
It's over now, it's december
Like a friend once said,
It's times to remember

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 remeber when this was different than a job
For friendship and for fun,
In harmony we got it done
We had a good scene going,
In our hometown Pennybridge
Now 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
Not when you're filled up with regrets
If I felt good today you know that I would stay

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

Everything has it's time
And I will sure have mine
So many things that we start
Almost tear us apart,
Eventually well everyone has their own way
They gotta go so many things that we start,
With people who breaks our heart one time,
Then do the same to another one

Lights Out


Looking back in 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 thing 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 cannot believe how hard it 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 a way through all this now yeah
So what I need now,
Is someone to read the map
Cause I don't know how

I feel 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

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'be been down
But I'm now whining Im still smiling
And I'm still around every night

Every Sunday or Wednesday night you'll be there
With all the other folks biting those nails
And some of us I know that we would die for you
And maybe you think it's just cause I have my smartcard
But forget that pal, tell you what
We're in it and we're in it to win it

So many hours spent in that building
And now the memories devine
Just a few more seasons, then we'll be back
Ready to attack and ready to take on the top again

Lowlife


I don't know what to say, cause I don't feel that good today
I don't know what to do, I left my mind in all that glue
If I try to think, or if I'll do something about this mess
Then I will find myselft in a situation I can't deal with now
My head it starts to pound
My thoughts are flying around
And my body hits the ground

I can't hear a sound and I feel fine
Cause I can't see whats wrong
I'm alone and strong

I keep my eyes on you, just to make myself to sure
I don't know why I care, cause it makes me feel so poor
And I must try to leave all this stuff behind me now
And I feel fine but tomorrow I don't know what I will say
Cause my head will start to pound
My thoughts will fly around
When my body hits the ground

Then I won't hear a sound and I feel fine
And I can see what's wrong
I'm alone and strong
