Lyrics

ILLIBERAL HOLIDAY (2023)

Idiot Tax

I feel so poor, I can’t buy anything
No shoes, no clothes, no food, no medicine
Record inflation’s troubling the nation
Socks for Christmas, no Playstation
The government’s shifty, better be thrifty
Look at that chart, it’s almost 50

Why does milk cost more than heroin?
Ends don’t meet and minds are narrowin’
Tesco fiasco, Aldicalypse now
Bad times, baby, get by somehow
I won’t take these, better not say cheese
Cashier girl, kill me right away, please

I can’t handle all the crazy prices
Propaganda tells you who’s behind this
It’s more than just a bad case of Politicianitis / There’s chaos beyond this crisis

Please don’t rape the rules of economy
Or you end up where you don’t wanna be
We like French fries with populist lies
We’re sliding back to communist times
You better quit eating, turn off the heating
The same story keeps on repeating

I’d rather trust a barrel of monkeys
than these authority junkies
You know this, but I’ll just say it
It’s the idiot tax and we all pay it

I want it but I say no
At least I’m losing weight, bro
Life is just a shit tornado
Motivation: quite low
Not good, I know
Maybe I’ll go full on psycho

I can’t handle all the crazy prices
They freak me out and scare me more than ISIS
It’s more than just a bad case of Politicianitis
There’s chaos beyond this crisis

Hungarian Satan

Time has stopped and Hungary’s dreaming
A bad, bad dream, we’re waking up screaming
He’s always back, it’s a terrible feeling
There he goes again
A sociodrama bordering slapstick
Don’t stop, bro, the show is fantastic
Not really, just being sarcastic
Don’t do this again

A disaster 20 years in the makin’
Now we’ve got our very own Satan

Malevolent and diabolical
Hyperactive, and hypocritical
666 – the number is taken
665 – Hungarian Satan
Malevolent and diabolical
Lies and lies, he’s pathological
Norman Bates meets Patrick Bateman
No-one likes Hungarian Satan

If there’s a way, he’ll block it, we all know he’s on it
We’ll be Mini Russia ‘til Putin kicks the bucket
It’s all about his ego, everyone can suck it
He’ll rape our hopes again

He’s the lego brick you step on in bare feet
The pile of turd on Johnny Depp’s bedsheet
Your alcoholic uncle sleeping in the back seat
Oops he did it again

The girls are scared, the children are screamin’
Go away, you creepy old demon

Malevolent and diabolical
Hyperactive, and hypocritical
He’s that guy everyone’s hatin’
Say his name: Hungarian Satan
Malevolent and diabolical
It’s all his fault, totally logical
Who’s to blame? The answer is blatant
Always blame Hungarian Satan

I know you can, but you don’t have to
It’s just like having a face tattoo
I have a feeling that we could go on perfectly without you

Like really bad porn, putting it bluntly
Debbie did Dallas, Feri does a country
We’re stuck with him forever, aren’t we?
It's Groundhog Day again

And every time we choose the state capture
Satan would be too much adventure

Malevolent and diabolical
Hyperactive, and hypocritical
666 – the number is taken
665 – Hungarian Satan
Malevolent and diabolical
He just can’t stop, it’s biological
The zit on your nose when you’re datin’
No-one likes Hungarian Satan

Feri…

Viktorland

The VIP gang is here for the picnic
Is that your face? it looks like a dick pic
Call your daddy if you need more cash to spend
They ain’t too sharp, so guess who’s the smartest
The mastermind’s a big-time con artist
He’s built this cult to be worshipped ‘til the end

Just turn your TV on
We're right, and they're all wrong

Something's off in CPAC Wonderland
Don’t you love our one-man government?
That's just how it's always been
Mass hypnosis through the screen
Teachers quit, the kids will never read
No more surgeons, lie still ‘til you bleed
Situation’s outta hand
It's not the fall that matters
It's how you land

Up on the hill, behind secure fences
This is the land of no consequences
You won’t get caught, it’s easy to avoid
When all your friends are evil and scary
Acting nice is unnecessary
The phones are tapped, Big Brother’s getting paranoid

Wake up, the house is on fire
Knock, knock. Who’s there? The Russian Empire

Election time, it’s your call, you decide
Let’s vote for collective suicide
That's just how it's always been
School canteens serve soylent green
It's in the bible, read the summary
The Hunger Games take place in Hungary
Goodbye to the life we planned
It's not the fall that matters
It's how you land

Why's it so dark and cold?
It's not what we were told

Putin's sputnik, Soviet satellite
Feed your cronies' endless appetite
Time to flex your hate muscles
Blame your failure on Brussels
Watch your boss's exit strategy
Tenth floor window, the way it's gotta be
And finally, you understand
It's not the fall that matters…

Illiberal Holiday

We don't give a fuck and we don't need a reason
Let's hit play and roll with the season
Oops, a forest, I'm so sorry
There's enough left, don't you worry
Wipe the dirt off, make things cleaner
Astroturf is always greener

Stealing all the land and selling it to China
For this big red dick, you’re a tiny vagina
Oops, the water is depleted
Stop showering, you don’t need it
Ain’t it funny? We make great money
while you’re toiling in the plant like the Duracell bunny

Illiberal holiday
They rule you obey
I've waited all these years, but I can't wait forever
When will this nightmare go away?

It used to be free, now you can't afford it
No-one cares. Go on, report it
There’s no entry, stop the envy
Clear the driveway for the Bentley
Sign the papers, time to shake hands
There's no wasteland in Bad Taste Land

Like the Camorra, one big family
Greenpeace, leave please, or I'll call security
Bring the yacht, I'll bring the champagne
Find a buzzword, start a campaign
It ain’t too pretty but I feel no pity
We own this city and the city hall committee

Illiberal holiday
It's so not okay
I've waited all these years, but I can't wait forever
When will this nightmare go away?

Illiberal holiday
Guess who's gonna pay
Illiberal holiday
Can’t hear what you say
I've waited all these years, but I can't wait forever
When will this nightmare go away?

Tony Montana (2023)

Party like a politician in the city
With legislative immunity
Teenage sluts `n` Bolivian cocaine
Make me feel I’m 18 again

Thanks for voting! You can call me Tony Montana
I can do the stuff I wanna / Ain’t no surprise, drop the drama

It’s brainwash time, let’s launder money
The people’s choice, I know, it’s funny
And all that shit I promised to do…
Do I look trustworthy to you?

Thanks for voting! You can call me Tony Montana
I get to party with Rihanna / She’s got the finest marijuana

Thanks for voting! You can call me Tony Montana
I can do the stuff I wanna
Get my dick sucked in the sauna
Tony Montana

Tropical Breakdown

Only silence on the radio

Humans failed, let the animals in
Corporate greed was the cardinal sin
See, years and years of burning gasoline 
Diggin our grave, killing all the green
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're right
But neither of us gets outta here alive
Headlines say it’s game over
That’s it we won’t sink lower

Lockdown, Breakdown, Power to the animals! 
Face your future, side with the radicals
Fat and slow, such an easy prey 
Deal with it, Darwin. No getaway
The fit survive, but you skipped the gym 
Swimming with the sharks, you’re never gonna win
Guess what? Now it’s game over 
Give it up let them take over

Only silence on the radio 
Humans, you don’t live here any more

Violence breeds violence in the streets 
The media knows if it bleeds it leads
Scream, here’s your freedom of speech 
Alligators chasing models on the beach
Eat the rich, they’re richer in fat
Soften them up with a baseball bat
Headlines say it’s game over
They won let them take over

Street-walking cheetah, brain-eating amoeba
Gorillas fistin’ Justin Bieber
PETA set the tigers free 
I love this city but it doesn’t like me
Urban jungle, the air is sweaty 
Baby are you ready, don’t forget your machete
Headlines say it’s game over 
They won, let them take over

Astrolena

It’s mass hysteria
On social media
But there’s a common understanding
We’ve all seen the saucers landing

She came from outer space
Three breasts right in my face
I love her skintight silver spacesuit
Raygun tucked into her rain boot

Hey, Astrolena, I’ll be your Romeo
Your skin is mint, your eyes are indigo
A million light years is quite a rodeo
Believe me, I really wanna go

I’ve got some news for you
Earthlings have feelings too
Turn on the quantum generator
Turn left at the Ursa Major

How can you resist me?
It’s perfect chemistry
Intergalactic supernova
Stars collide and then they blow up

Hey, Astrolena, destroy your radio
We’ll disappear and they will never know
We’re leaving Earth, I’ll beat my vertigo
Believe me, I really wanna go

Hey, Astrolena, I’ll be your Romeo
Your skin is mint, your eyes are indigo
A million light years is quite a rodeo
Believe me, I really wanna go

Emergency broadcast
Humans, your’re invaded
No matter if you’re triple vaxed
Or unvaccinated

The stars are all around us
We look so good together
Planet Earth is blue indeed
We’re leaving it forever

So long, I’m outta here
All good, all clear

The Plane To Toronto

Inside is hell, outside is heaven
And the lights are on 24/7
Hold on please, we’re gonna get you home
It’s been a long time, but you’ve never been alone
You’ve gotta know, bad times won’t last forever

In no time, I know / You'll be on the plane to Toronto
In no time, I know / Memories comin' up like a slideshow
In no time, I know / You'll be on the plane to Toronto
Getting out of Kafka's Trial sane / you'll be on the plane

Inside is hell, outside is heaven
This shocked us more than 9/11
You've missed Trump's fall and the Capitol siege
The Hong-Kong riots and the Lockdown year
When we meet I'll tell you everything that's happened

In no time, I know / You'll be on the plane to Toronto
In no time, I know / Memories comin' up like a slideshow
In no time, I know / You'll be on the plane to Toronto
Be our guest in Budapest too
Still a nice place, just a bit psycho
In no time, I know / You'll be on the plane to Toronto
Drivin’ up to the airport in the rain
And you'll be on the plane

In no time, I know / You'll be on the plane to Toronto

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 in 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, but 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 I don’t wanna know it’s over
Until there’s a restraining order
Stop shouting at me please, I hate it
No wonder I feel so underrated / No wonder you’ve barred my number

Told my story to a shrink I knew
Cut his wrists halfway through
Life is full of mysery
Everyone is 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

Tony Montana

Party like a politician in the city
With legislative immunity
Teenage sluts `n` Bolivian cocaine
Make me feel I’m 18 again

Thanks for voting! You can call me Tony Montana
I can do the stuff I wanna  / Ain’t no surprise, drop the drama

Corporate America, I love your money
The people’s choice, I know, it’s funny
And all that shit I promised to do…
Do I look trustworthy to you?

Thanks for voting! You can call me Tony Montana
I get to party with Rihanna / She’s got the finest marijuana

Thanks for voting! You can call me Tony Montana
I can do the stuff I wanna
Get my dick sucked in the sauna
Tony Montana

Tronald Dump

Got cash, got women, got power 
Even got my very own tower
Every tweet’s top news on Breitbart
Wall Street got hammered by Walmart

Can’t spell, but I’m president somehow
Wanna save the environment? Not now
Vladimir, take Europe, it’s alright
We can watch my sex tape all night

Bad news for trailer park wasteland
I’ve lost you while getting my face tanned
My sense of humor is twisted 
The White House says you’re blacklisted

Poor, old, black, native American
You’re fucked like kids in the Vatican
You believed every single white lie
Made Bush seem like such a nice guy

Paranoia, Panic, Propaganda


Paranoia, panic, propaganda
Ready for the brainwash? Do the mantra
Don’t act like a prima donna
It’s legal, unlike marijuana

Paranoia, panic, propaganda
Hatemonger extravaganza
Half baked truth and little white lies
I can see through your disguise

Can we make it go away?
And send them on a holiday / Can we please do it today?
I know we can

Here comes the leader of the nation
He understands the situation
And has no fear of crossing lines
Or lies repeated a thousand times

In times of trouble it’s a war you need
These are times of trouble indeed
Live in fear and die in style
Directed by Leni Riefenstahl

Green Light, Blue Lambo

I’m livin’ it, you just follow
Rich people suck, you swallow
Taste of the life you won’t know
No Michelin stars at Tesco
You’re waiting, contemplating
your best days fading further away - It’s not OK

White boy, you need more sunshine
You won’t get any online
Try flying private maybe
Plenty of legroom, baby
Your life is so incomplete
You hear your heartbeat ticking away - It’s not OK

Green light and blue Lambo - I say here we go
I’m famous, look at my Jumbo-sized ego
Where should we go now, Miami or Rio? / Who’s paying? It’s daddy in his tuxedo
More fun than you will ever know

I hate the ordinary
Your average lives are scary
Admit you find me sexy
It’s envy, envy, envy
You’re waiting, contemplating your best days fading further away - It’s not OK

Need Your Brain

Messed me up and ruined my life
Then took control of me
Every time I talk to you ’s like a lobotomy

It only makes you stronger
That’s what they always say
Do I look like Dwayne Johnson?
Cos you wreck me every day

Need your brain
Need your brain
Need your brain in my head now
So I can think again
/Are you in for a transplant
Before I go insane?

You messed me up and ruined my life
So what? It’s fine with me
After all, you should accept
My apology

Ideas are trouble
Just tell me what to do
Your obedient zombie
Will blindly follow you

Christmas Is Canceled

Twosome with a Christmas tree
Instead of you and me
Now everybody’s happy, everybody but me
Just me and a mistletoe
I need you, now I know
I’ve got some friends here but they’re all imaginary
And now you’re going away

Lost you at a Christmas sale
Black Friday runaway
I hate this lonely holiday, thought you’d never leave me
Pissed your name in the snow
Don’t wanna let it go
Turned off the lights, I think it’s not the way it should be

Christmas is canceled this year
Let’s get the fuck outta here
Christmas is canceled forever
No need to cut out the trees
Hey, we can stay enemies
Christmas is canceled for good

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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 

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 

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...
