TROLLS IN SUITS (2020)
Nightbreed
2020 is the year I go sober / Week 2, and I know It’s over
I’m a failure, I’m a liar / Said I’d stop, but I wanna get higher
Bad vibes, suburban disco / Did I say yes to this? No.
Where are we? Are we there yet? / This night is a night we’ll regret
I knew the ending the minute that we started
What a plan, you’ve gotta be retarded
Why do I hang out with you?
Maybe cos I’m fucked up too
Happy meal made of soylent green
We’ll never find out who killed Epstein
Gonna tell my kids it was me
Here comes your bedtime story
Every patient needs a medication
It’s a trap, what a tricky situation
I’m not bad, just lack of education
No hope for the lost generation
Every patient needs a medication
Yes I’ve earned my bad reputation
That girl on the way to the station
Was it real or my imagination?
Glaciers melting sea level rising
The Armageddon’s on the horizon
No future, we all go under
Live faster, party harder
There’s a noise we know in this town
The sound of our lives tumbling down
Never say never again
It’s always one outta ten
Every patient needs a medication
It’s a trap, what a tricky situation
I’m not bad, just lack of education
No hope for the lost generation
Every patient needs a medication
Yes I’ve earned my bad reputation
That girl on the way to the station
Was it real or my imagination?
Every patient needs a medication
Shades on, it’s a secret operation
Can you feel this bad vibration?
Life’s fake, it’s just a simulation
Every patient needs a medication
Ball cap on every occasion
What a flagrant fashion violation
No stop till full annihilation
Minor Problem
Take it easy, Sweetie Pie / Oil is fine, coal is fine
Don’t fret, it’s all a lie / Outta sight, outta mind
Did daddy have a car? Cos I’ve had plenty
We can’t go back to 1820
My Saudi friends are getting uptight
Go back to school and give up the fight
CO2 is a greenhouse gas / You can kiss my White House ass
Green is good, sassy lass / You missed biology class
Minor problem, Thumbelina / Tiny queen of shy demeanor
Melancholic ballerina / Please step outta my arena
To hell with the Gen Z climate frenzy / Envy me, I ride my Benzy
Look at you, a Vegan Viking / Far too dark green for my liking
Polar bears, solar flares / You keep talking, no-one cares
I’ve got a beef with Scandinavia
No Greenland? You’ve got me hatin’ ya
Two words: A$AP Rocky, you owe me
How dare you mess with my homie?
Open Facebook, you will see / they hate you even more than me
We agree that plants are good
Like car plants in your neighborhood
Something you misunderstood? / IKEA chairs are made of wood
Minor problem, Thumbelina / Tiny queen of shy demeanor
Melancholic ballerina /Captain Planet, I can’t hear ya
You’re poor, I’m rich. Bitch, don’t teach me
I’m smart like Nietche, they won’t impeach me
How to say this, I’ll be gentle / You have gone environ-mental
Burger nation USA / From the East Coast to LA
We stand united, hear me say / You won’t take our steak away
Hang on now, gotta take this call / Ukrainians, I hate them all
Would you please do me a favor?
I knew you would, talk to you later
Virus, Climate, Meteor, Zombies
Virus, Climate, Meteor, Zombies
Zombies wearing Abercrombies
You’ll find out in a tinfoil hat
Elvis lives and the Earth is flat
The virus came from a secret lab
You’ll thank me for revealing that
Cos I’m on a mission / Survival ambition / Guns, ammunition
I’m gonna be fine
Black operation / Live simulation / Reptilian vision
It’s all by design
Virus, Climate, Meteor, Zombies
Someone turn the TV on please
Facebook, Facebook, let me see / Who set this virus free
Bill Gates, the Pope, or Hillary / Gimme more conspiracy
The last generation / John’s Revelations / Smart intuition
We’ve run outta time
A bad premonition / Consumption obsession
The mask won’t help / Here’s the end of the line
Virus, Climate, Meteor, Zombies / Zombies wearing Abercrombies
Virus, Climate, Meteor, Zombies
Pack that rucksack, get the car keys
London Moscow London
Agents always die by night
Cyanide pills for sleeping tight
Meeting strangers in a bar
Polonium in the samovar
Life becomes a film noir
When you’ve gone too far
Wait until I say farewell to London
Not just some place that you abandon / Until my organs cease to function
And then I’m moving on to Hell
No more questions, you know why
Touch the handle, then you die
Moscow set to close the case
World War 3, the final phase
God, I miss the Soviet days
In so many ways
Creepy Stalker
I’m stalking you, I’m a die-hard fan
I’ll kidnap you with an ice cream van
I’ll make it right, I’ve been unkind
And hold you in the basement till you change your mind
I move too slow and your pitbull’s fast
Dog bites hurt, the pain won’t last
The plan was good, but me… not quite
Maybe, in the end, your mum was right
It’s hard to understand me
Now everybody says it’s over
You’re waving a restraining order
Stop shouting at me please, I hate it
No wonder I feel so underrated
Told my story to a shrink I knew
Cut his wrists halfway through
Life is full of mysery
Everybody’s getting depressed round me
I’ll take this pill and I’ll take those two
I’m still not ready for someone new
I’m watching you secretly
You’ll never find the right one, cos it was me
Someday you’ll understand me
Sid & Nancy Do NYC
Leaving London for New York City
Where nightmares all become reality
Chinese Rocks, we’ll miss a payment
Hookers, dealers, entertainment
Let’s get wasted in the Bowery
Follow me, Follow me, Follow me to the future
Will you follow me?
Serial killers dominate the news
Son of Sam, Ted Bundy on the loose
It’s over now, I’m sorry Nancy
There’s no way out of the Chelsea
Time to say hello to Destiny
Follow me, Follow me, Follow me to the future
Will you follow me?
Come Back Joe Strummer
You’ve gotta come back for one last encore only
Would you play Police and Thieves just for me?
You’ll sing and I’ll believe in anything you say
You’re the punk rock warlord in Hammersmith Palais
From London to Granada, true rebel all the way
Thank you for the soundtrack of Climate Judgement Day
You’ve gotta come back for one last encore only
Would you play Police and Thieves just for me?
You’ve gotta come back for one last encore only
It’s been downhill since Tony Baloney
You’ve gotta come back for one last encore only
Would you play Police and Thieves just for me?
You’ve gotta come back for one last encore only
Hate and War, Death or Glory
It wasn’t just another story
England without you is sad and lonely
Happy New Year
Doing stuff you shouldn’t do
I admit, I envy you
Falling from the balcony
You’ve proved your immortality
Death calls you the one that got away
Winter’s here and off you go
Diving head-first in the snow
Fractures, trauma, injury
Who burned down the Christmas tree?
Death calls you the one that got away
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Although I really hate you
I’m glad that you are here
Despite all the trouble
you caused, I’m really glad that you are here
OUTSIDERS (2016)
Go Bankrupt Go
Go Bankrupt Go x 8
Fifteen Minutes
Simon says you’ve got the factor
I say you ain’t no Ronnie Spector
Plastic Taylor – demonstrated
Massive failure – celebrated
Same old story – replicated
Well done, baby, now you’ve made it
Wait and know your limits
Ride your fifteen minutes
Fame, you know it’s overrated / it’s just evaporated
You’re not real, I can feel it
You just don’t look like you mean it
Perfect dentures – fabricated
All your gestures - imitated
Simon’s just - ejaculated
Well done, baby, now you’ve made it
Wait and know your limits
Ride your fifteen minutes
Fame, you know it’s overrated / it’s just evaporated
Party Capital
Have one more whisky soda
Forget about Barcelona
Dwarf-tossing, ruin pub crawling
Stag doers, it’s Budapest calling
From January to December
A holiday you won’t remember
Welcome to the Party Capital
Welcome to the Party Capital / Y.O.L.O. Party Animal
Welcome to the Party Capital
Party Capital of Europe
Two days with a constant boner
Noone left here who’s sober
Pass out under the moonlight
Handcuffed to a ho on a beerbike
You know our prices won’t go higher
Don’t come through the razor wire
Welcome to the Party Capital…
Budget airlines, AirBnB
Martini, Tequila, Brandy
Gone to Bangalore
No job, No worries
You don’t know how good it is
My job’s gone to Bangalore
Now I don’t have to work no more
I’ve finally said goodbye to 9 to five
Signed it on the dotted line
Cleared my desk, oh so fine
I feel so good, I feel alive
Cos the market conditions are tough
That’s OK, I’ve had enough
I have so much better stuff to do
Job, you’re gone, I understand it
Call me when your plane has landed
And forget about beefsteaks for a while
You will see the Taj Mahal
You may become a Bollywood star
But you’ll need vaccinations to survive
Cos the market conditions are tough
That’s OK, I’ve had enough
I have so much better stuff to do
Wish me luck, I wish you luck
Now that I don’t give a fuck
Forget me before I forget you
The Legend of Lee Marvin
Why don’t you stay? Where would you go now?
You’ve been long dead, so take it slow now
Cos only you can pull it off - Only you can make it
Lee Marvin, Lee Marvin
Come back cos the girls are starvin’
For real men, strong and charmin’- Just like you
Why don’t you stay? Where would you go now?
Don’t talk, don’t talk just kill them all now
Cos only you can pull it off, Only you can make it
Lee Marvin, Lee Marvin
Come back cos the girls are starvin’
For real men, strong and charmin’ - Just like you
Lee Marvin, Lee Marvin
Come back cos the girls are starvin’
Kate Upton, Barbi Palvin - They all need you
College girls – they’ll be waitin’
Around the Earth – they’ll be waitin’
The Universe – will be waitin’ for you to come home
Fuck the 80s
Honey, you’ll need some time
Rick Astley’s messing with your mind
Burnouts and bored housewives
We let the 80s ruin our lives
We’re Back to 1988, Watch the walkman eat the tape
Fuck the 80s – Drop the 80s
I know what the worst decade is
Drop the 80s – Fuck the 80s
Bless your luck Millennial babies
Fuck the 80s – Drop the 80s
I know what the worst decade is / Sax solos are overrated
Bless your lucky stars Millennial babies
Honey, I can’t unwind
Can’t get Sabrina off my mind
Synth pop is here to stay
We’re stuck with Spandau Ballet
One hit wonders of the past, Plastic crap was built to last
Fuck the 80s…
Love the 50s, they were great
60s hippies we all hate
Thanks for punk rock, 70s
80s, never come back please
Diamond Blonde
Here she comes now, Sugar Daddy
Buy her clothes and buy her candy
All the candies in the sweet shop
Just like Santa,goin’ non-stop
Digging gold in fancy places
Hefty wallets, wrinkled faces
It’s OK to date a zombie
Romance died with Emily Bronte
You'll be rich and famous but you're on your own
Listen to your lover's velvet baritone
You can be anything
By smartly marrying
Act like Marilyn
And learn to swallow /
And once you bury him
You’ll sing YOLO
Lady Luck is feelin’ groovy
Time to put her in a movie
Daddy may be a little rusty
But you’ll make it in the film industry
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, now you’re really getting old
Happy Birthday, you ain’t sixteen any more
Try to grow up, baby, try to act your age
Now you’re really getting old
You will look silly on the beach
Bikini girls are outta reach
Forget the stuff you wanna teach
Accept that cougars are your niche
Happy Birthday, now you’re really getting old
And I mean it, you looked less ugly before
Time to grow up, baby, time for moving on
Now you’re really getting old
You and your kids won’t get along
And then they’ll leave you all alone
And then they’ll put you in a home
Don’t be afraid of getting old
Bipolar Bear
No wonder I’m angry
Why would I be nice?
With rheumatic feet that keep slipping on the ice
Arctic depression
Is quite common here
Cos when it gets dark it’s night for half a year
I’m a bipolar bear
And I don’t think it’s fair
Bipolar bear
But you don’t have to say that you’re sorry
No wonder I’m angry
You don’t know how it feels
When all you can talk to is walruses and seals
There’s nothing to do here
And insomnia is real
Terminal boredom and fish for every meal
I’m a bipolar bear
And I don’t think it’s fair
Bipolar bear
But you don’t have to say that you’re sorry
I wanna have those cocktails
Lying in the sun
Cos even polar bears are entitled to some fun
Disco Apocalypse
Wanna have some? Gonna get some
Life is easy when you're awesome
Better burn out, fuck fading away
It's infectious like a virus
Like a twerkin' Miley Cyrus
Better burn out, fuck fading away
But why should all this end before it's over
It ain't here yet, it's only getting closer
You know there's no tomorrow
Just some time we borrow
Spend it cleverly
You ain't no Marilyn Monroe
Wake up only after
the world has gotten faster
all you'll ever be
's just a regretful disaster
Wanna have some? Gonna get some
Life is easy, try to have fun
Better burn out, fuck fading away
Hang on in there for a while now
Make it last, just do it somehow
Better burn out, fuck fading away
War and Peace
Only you’ll be there
Only you’ll be there
Only you’ll be there
Always, everywhere
Only you’ll be there…
Could we be like you, please? Sweet and kind to all
Could we be like you, please? And say goodbye to war
Keep waiting, waiting, listening till you’ve
Heard a million stories
Deep in your heart, there’s heaps of boxes full of fears and worries
Keep waiting, watching, listening till you’ve
Heard a million stories
Deep in your heart, you keep all secrets, intrigues and theories
GOODBYE BLUE MONDAY (2013)
Timewaster
Shut up and beat it
You ain’t got nothing
To say so quit it
Cos time is runnin’
You and your ultra-boring stories
Could you please just fucking die?
Stop wasting my time - Don’t waste my time
Stop wasting my time - Don’t waste my time
Stop wasting my time - Don’t waste my time
Stop wasting my time - Don’t waste my time
Stop messin’ around – Don’t mess around
Stop wasting my time - Don’t waste my time
I see you’re ready
I’ve felt it comin’
I know what you have
You ain’t got nothing
Except the same old dopey stories
Why don’t you just fucking die?
I know he does it all the time
I lose control, I lose my mind
Stop wasting my time...
Veronica
Veronica, it seems you’ve got me
Tough luck, I’m old and ugly
I know you’ve always dreamed of someone nice
It’s disappointing
But even though you’d deserve better
We’re gonna have to work together
We’ve gotta find the way to work this out
It’s up to you and me
Though I don’t wanna force it on you
I hope you’re gonna like the songs too
Cos not a lot of people really do
We need attention
Veronica, just analyze this
Help me through the midlife crisis
I could really use an ego boost right now
You know I need it bad
Go ahead, make me proud
This time I’ll do it right
Give it all, let it out
And keep me up all night
Go ahead, make me proud
This time I’ll do it right
Close Encounters
Someday, they’re gonna ask something
Someday, they’re gonna ask something
Someday, they’re gonna ask something
And you can’t say ’no’ any more
All that you’ve taken for granted
One by one they take it all
In the papers, on the TV, on your mind
Close encounters of the most unwanted kind
Someday, we’ve gotta do something
Someday, we’ve gotta do something
Someday, we’ve gotta do something
I think I’ve heard this all before
Too late, you’ve given up freedom
And you can’t have it any more
In your bedroom, on the subway, on your mind
Close encounters of the most unwanted kind
In the papers, on the TV, on your mind
Close encounters of the most unwanted kind
Just the same mistakes, we make them all time
(You know that everything’s fine)
Should have stopped them when we saw them cross the line
In the papers, on the TV, on your mind (You know that …)
Close encounters of the most unwanted kind (You know that …)
Just the same mistakes, we make them all time (You know that…)
Should have stopped them when we saw them cross the line
Yeah, we really should have stopped them before they crossed the line
Alone
Love’s insane, love’s ethereal
Now you play a silent serial
killer and it feels so real
Someone’s gotta love you
Or noone’s gonna stop you
Birds and bees, priests and choirboys
It’s all too deep - that’s why love annoys
The right one’s there, follow the inner voice
Always the old ways
So who’s gonna stay alone – Well, not you
Who’s gonna stay alone – We’ve got you
Who’s gonna stay alone – You’re choosing
Only losers worry ’bout losing / Only losers fret over losing
Your friends all say you’re too hysterical
Exploding like a timebombed radical
Stumbling round like a wounded animal
Someone’s gotta love you
Or noone’s gonna stop you
He comes for you and takes you far away
You can’t wait, cos who would wanna stay
He’s on his way, it could be any day
Swallow your sorrow
Someone out there, don’t you need me?
Life is messed up so completely
Boys from Mars and girls from Venus
There’s a whole world in between us
Monday morning
Monday morning, Monday morning
So pathetic, so annoying
All my life is sad and boring
Why is it always Monday morning to me
But Friday wakes the dead and heals the lonely
Two sevenths of your life’s what you have only
If that is good, it’s gotta be OK
When the weekend’s here, don’t let it go away
Till Monday
Monday morning, Monday morning
Kicks the door in, there’s no warning
Take the subway, start the swarming
Nine to five it’s Monday morning today
But Friday wakes the dead and heals the lonely
Two sevenths of your life’s what you have only
I wouldn’t have it any other way
When the weekend’s here, don’t let it go away
Till Monday
REWOUND (2011)
Rewound
Rewind to the scene with Teenage Me
High school is done, it’s ’93
Got me a deal, bought my first bass
The means to survive this hopeless place
Learnin’ the trade from punk rock tapes
It’s more than a fad, there’s no escape
I’m joining a band later that year
Blowing the chance of a career
Afraid of missing out?
Nothing will happen
Start writing songs about
Being let down
I hate to tell you it’s only downhill now
I’ve seen the future, don’t set your hopes too high
Weekend
Atomic age, minimum wage
Can’t wait til tomorrow
Salary day, outta my way
Aiming for the front row
Stuff to sell, corporate hell
Waste your life away
Forms to sign, unpaid overtime
Just another day
Here’s the weekend
Life begins on the weekend
Weekend
Only livin’ on the weekend
Gotta be fine, assembly line
Going through the motions
Sweating all day, shaking at night
Dreaming of promotion
Stuff to sell, corporate hell
Get me outta here
First to come, last to leave
Just another year
Happenstance
Accept the irony, wait for the second chance
Ignore reality, believe in happenstance
Just talk to me
Don’t go out of range
And count on me
You know I’m not gonna change
Accept the irony, wait for the second chance
Your private history, it suddenly makes sense
RAZOR WIRES AND NEON LIGHTS (2009)
Wave of Bankruptcy
They're gonna hate it but they wanna know
Who's gonna tell 'em they gotta go
Before they hear it on the radio
We didn't see it coming
This would have come to you anyway
Another place, another day
Tough luck, I gotta say
Better watch out
Cos it's a wave of bankruptcy
Can you believe now what you see?
Life's great, then you hit the wall
With the speed of a wrecking ball
Goodbye, you've seen it all
We didn't see it coming
New yachts and limousines
They won, it really seems
I hate pyramid schemes
Better watch out
Notes:
We're called Bankrupt with a reason
Agony Bay
What could I say?
Nothing's OK
No need to ask
When you know the answer
Anchors aweigh
It's Agony Bay
Look in their eyes
Despair is like cancer
And we wait for better days
Better days that never come
Truly brave's the one who stays
In the end we all succumb
To being captured in this place
Where better days will never come
Drowsy decay
In dirty gray
Let's get depressed
It's the ideal location
Don't count the years
Time disappears
We've ended up
At the wrong destination
Notes:
Greetings from the lukewarm backwaters of Europe,
where every day's an all time low!
Parallel Worlds
By '89 they'd died out one by one
The commies never knew how to have fun
The Wall and the Iron Curtain fell
But I know they are there
Cos we're living in parallel worlds
We're living in parallel worlds
We're living in parallel worlds
And I won't ask you why
In the end, there's only black and white
Welcome to Euro-Apartheid
Victims of a long forgotten age
You've lost two decades
Now we're living in parallel worlds
We're living in parallel worlds
We're living in parallel worlds
And I won't ask you why
They treat you down
No interaction
Eyes on the ground
Make no connection at all
Parallel worlds...
Notes:
Two decades after the Berlin wall fell, the East-West
division doesn't seem to ever cease in Europe.
Lonesome Trains
8th day of the railway strike (no way, way out)
The union wrecked your holy night (no way, way out)
That's how you end a fucked up year
That's how we sort things out down here
And solidarity won't interfere
9th day of the railway strike (no way, way out)
With means like this ends can't be right (no way, way out)
It's funny how everything fails
Life's passing by on lonesome trains
10th day of the railway strike (no way, way out)
Going nowhere at the speed of light (no way, way out)
It's funny how everything fails
Life's passing by on lonesome trains
Notes:
Hungary's most corrupt railway union thought it was a good idea
not to suspend their strike before Christmas 2008, and destroy
the holidays of those not having any other travel options.
No Surrender
Too early to surrender
Let's kill another year
If you come back tomorrow
Be sure you'll find me here
You'll find me here rehearsing
Missing the notes and cursing
Like I always do
You'll find me here pretending
This story's never ending
I've told you that
Nothing keeps me away
From doing this, cos it's fun
Noone tells me what's right
Noone
Too early to surrender
There's still so much to do
I could go on for hours
Would that make sense to you?
Someday I'll be defeated
By the same cycles repeated
But it will take some time
And I'm not sure how I'll turn out
But I'm too hellbent to burn out
I've told you that
Notes:
No fucking surrender, we've told you
Independent Girl
This must be the time when there's just
Nothing to say
You don't really feel like trying to make her stay
She don't have to love ya
She's free in her world
You don't have to love this
Independent girl
There must a thousand things that
You could do now
So could you stop asking things like why and how
Notes:
Let's go back to 2000 when the future seemed bright,
we were young, and we wrote songs about girls.
ROCKET TO RIOT CITY (2008)
Straight Outta Graceland
Lousy trends, phony hypes
Someone should sort it out
Safely planned prototypes
Someone should set things right
Tonight the King will return from the grave and...
Bigger than Jesus, stronger than Satan
Salvation's coming straight outta Graceland
Clean the charts, Wipe away
All the filth you can find
Dear RIAA
Stop polluting my mind
Tonight the King will return from the grave and
We need a saviour, the position's vacant
Salvation's coming straight outta Graceland
Notes:
Written on the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death.
Years of Disasters
Things could get worse, I knew it well
When Satan met Saddam in Hell
We've closed a year of disasters, prepared for more to come
I'm getting more and more depressed, am I the only one?
So why can't I just take it as it comes?
No season change, the weather's mild
The situation's getting wild
Panic at the fireworks, riots on the streets
We've traded in reality for some shattered dreams
So why can't I just take it
Why can't I just take it
We ain't gonna make it, as it seems
Notes:
2006 was a bad year for Hungary.
In August, the annual constitution day fireworks turned
into a nightmare when an unexpectedly severe thunderstorm
hit the celebrating crowd causing mass hysteria and several
deaths. In October, the 1956 revolution was re-enacted on
its 50th anniversary by anti-government rioters and brutal
police squads clashing on the streets of Budapest.
The country is going downhill ever since thanks to its
corrupt politicians.
2006 was also a particularly bad year for Iraqi dictator
Saddam Hussein, who was hanged a day before New Year's Eve.
Sidewinder
What's coming your way is just what it seems
She's going to blow you to smithereens
No radar can find her location
Cos her name is Annihilation
And she's gonna find you wherever you are
Your lifeline's short, much shorter than mine
Her deadly precision will leave you no time
Sidewinder, mercyless heatseeker
Your body's glowing red to lead her
And she's gonna find you wherever you are
Problem solved, business done
From the Falkland shores to Vietnam
Sidewinder, mercyless heatseeker
Your body's glowing red to lead her
And she's gonna find you wherever you are
Notes:
Sidewinder heat-seeking missiles have been used in international
conflicts since the 1950s. Women behaving like heat-seeking
missiles have been around since the beginning of time.
Memories from the Underground
Spending a most unusual night in Prague with a one-eyed dog
And a cat controlled by evil spirits - It scared us all to death
Viktor was such a friendly monster, he knew Gorilla ruled
Mouthguard from Brisbane, nice to meet you
I hope you liked your tour
Someday, I've got to awake
And all that remains is the pictures I take, inside
I'll grow old with these memories
Someday it all goes away
If nobody's out there, I don't wanna play, I know
I'll grow old with these memories from the underground
Teaching a most unusual crowd how punk rock's being done
Squat types, hell's angels and immigrants, plus Lisa and her dog
C.S.O.A. means social center, and crusties smell like hell
No vegan food, we want some pizza
And we've learnt our lesson well
Notes:
Inspired by weird touring experiences in the Czech Republic
and Italy.
Cinderella
Once you've met Cinderella
Tell her you wanna take her home
And make her stay forever
Unless you wanna die alone
You need a guardian angel
Tell her you wanna take her home
Don't you ever try to change her
Unless you wanna die alone
You wanna try, and you say you'll try but you never do
You wanna try, but you make it hard to believe in you
You wanna try, but you always fail, and you wonder why
Wonder why...
Cinderella...
Notes:
One day you'll find the right girl too.
