1: Surely Justice

You got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law

I got no heartbeat
Since I last saw you waving goodbye
I took the wrong train
Ended up in the centre of your mind

I sing to neighbours in a funny way
Hoping they will wonder why I smile
It's supertuesday on a Friday-night

Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law

I trade my handshake
For a night in the arms of the law
I meet the day-break
Telling God 'bout the miracles I saw

I walk for hours in a blurry state
Might as well be care-less for a while
It's love-transmission on a superday

I got no heart-beat
Since I last saw you waving goodbye
I took the fast train
And it felt like the law was on my side

You got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law
Got me thinking 'bout the law

2: Everbody's Cool

Hide away your love in anger
Low esteem without a warning
Kill the weak for worse for better
Till the morning comes around

She built the wall till no one's there
When everywhere there's anger
There's no one really there
Always on the losing end
Everyone's enacted from the start

Ride a wave one to remember
Rock the reef for such a long time
Catch the ride until September
Guard your gracious life

She built a wall what else is new
Where everyone's an actor
And everybody's cool
She's always on the losing end
Everyone's enacted from the start

She missed the ball what else is new
When everywhere there's anger
She's desperatly uncool
And always on the losing end
Everyone's enacted from the start
(And everyone is at the superstar)
Everyone's enacted from the start

3: All By Myself

The card on the board had figures on it
The chosen fell in love
All the secrets went a while ago
And empty math resolved

To mix up the rules you're full of reason
Common sense's won
Take your thrill to the fair take it anywhere
Try at least to keep it up

All by myself
I tried I fell
Believe that all the seasons turn to snow

To mix up the rules you're full of reason
Common sense's won
Take your thrill to the fair take it anywhere
Try at least to keep it up

All by myself
I tried I fell
Believe that all the seasons turn to snow

I think I know
Your eyes so cold
I know that you believe in peace of mind

All by myself
I tried I fell
Believe that all the seasons turn to snow

4: Ask anyone

Stones lead me the way
The way that will cross
The light in her eyes

It's cruel, a lover in vain
Chasing a dream
And left with the pain

When they call, the night-colour tours
Love, don't you wait
It's always toujours

How can you trust
A heart on the run
Chasing a dream
From father to son

Workingman's blues
I know beggars can't choose
Their own way

Workingman's blues
I know beggars can't choose
Their own way

Dogs in the street understand
The color of shame

Love, show me the way
Knowing I'll find
The light in her eyes

It's cruel, a lover in vain
Chasing a dream
And left with the pain

5: Desmond don't go

Desmond don't go
They'll eat you I know
So please don't go

There's always a break
Around if you make
The world turn slow

Oh Desmond don't go
They'll eat you I know
So please don't go

Into anyone's heart
And I know where to start
Into anyone's heart

Oh Desmond don't go
It gets harder you know
So please don't go

Sincerely I praise
The whereabout days
The loose control

Oh Desmond don't go
They'll eat you I know
So please don't go

There's always a break
Around if you make
The world turn slow

Into anyone's heart
And I know where to start
Into anyone's heart

Oh Desmond don't go

6: Miracle legion

Grandma's on the roof
I hope she still believes
In mother Mary's groove
In all that we achieve
The miracle legion's marchin' on
Stars are coming out

Careful on the roof
I know you still believe
In solitary jews
In all that they achieve
The miracle legion's marchin' on
Stars are coming out

The miracle legion's marchin' on
Stars are coming out
Into your head man
Into every word I said
Brains were blowin'
Trapped by the past man
Into every dream I had
Minds were growing
Out of the black
Into the blue of a new day
Gotta get going
Gotta get going

7: When you cry

When you cry, eat your heart out
Bite your nails in despair
There's a lot you don't know
And I hope it won't show
When I'm there

Stuff the wheels of emotion
With the grease of your care
Take the tongue of the street
Get yourself on your feet
And be there

When you're all good intentions
They blow up in your face
'Cause the weakness is art
And a smile is a start
Take me there
We play in halls
The size of any coke
You are all lashes
In the sun up in the sun

And sweet relief
In alcohol and smoke
The taste has gone
Take me home

When you cry, eat your heart out
Bite your nails in despair
There's a lot you don't know
And I hope it won't show
When I'm there

We play in halls
The size of any coke
You are all lashes
In the sun up in the sun

And sweet relief
In alcohol and smoke those days are gone
No raindrop passion for the soul

When you cry, eat your heart out
Bite your nails in despair
When you cry, eat your heart out
Bite your nails in despair
When you cry, eat your heart out
Bite your nails in despair

8: Money or love

My hands are too cold
Just to keep me going
Outside is in and
Inside is out

I think of you now
And my tears are flowing
Today you've lost
All the rendeers you got

Can't make money or love can't make money or love
I am talking to the stars above

There's frost on my strings
And rain in the doorway
Let the wind be a blaze
Blowing steam from my cup

Do you think of me now?
Don't betray what is so right
Let the rendeers of love
Pick the stars from above

Can't make money or love can't make money or love
I am talking to the stars above
Can't make money or love can't make money or love
I am talking to the stars above

9: Riverside

There's a car by the door
Can I stay or shall I go
It'll surely be, my resort
Leave me be, leave me love
I will go

And I know where I will be tonight
Pickin' shells on the riverside

Keep the land, I once knew
In my own hands, in my own hands
Share with us, last resort
Keep the dream alive, and trust
On your own

And I know where I will be tonight
Pickin' shells at the riverside
Unto the other side, unto the other side

Come again, so close
I didn't hear you right
You're so uptight
Through the hallway, onto the doorway
Keep the dream alive
And trust, in yourself

And I know where I will be tonight
Pickin' shells on the riverside
I know where I will be tonight
Pickin' shells on the riverside
I know where I will be tonight
Shouldn't keep her waiting
Keep your head held high

10: Freedom is a gift

Freedom is a gift
It gives more than I can enjoy
Brothers stay awake
Temptations are strong

Oh, and maybe when I'm out
I'll take the love that I want

Last night was a gas
I guess I talked on and on
Medicine's the show
For those who're wide awake

Girls are everywhere
But where is the love I adore?
You never lose the wish
To give a man more

Oh, and maybe when we ride
Up the hills away
Oh, and maybe if we ride
Take the love
Oh, and maybe if we ride

11: Feelings

Candyman on a sunday evening
Paralysed on the way home
Appears to be himself not crazy
Part of him must

Little man bigger dream big wanker
Trapped by the folk I guess
Neonlight is all he lives on
And loneliness

Fridaynight, friday after daytime
Not everything seems right
A big mans' hand on a small girls' shoulder
Candyman comes again

Little man bigger dream big wanker
Trapped by the folk I guess
Neonlight is all he lives on
And loneliness and hapiness

In this neighbourhood the light's
Deadly shaped for any stranger
And you rage all about till you know how I'm feeling
And you rage all about till you know how I'm feeling
And you rage all about till you know how I'm feeling
And you rage all about till you know how I'm feeling

12: Trip the stairs

Time so little time
Is all I'm hanging on to
And loads of drugs to feed the rhythm
Rhyme I'm out of rhyme
And nothing to hang on to
A record and a phone to kill the time

And birds were there and cowards too
And candy for the first time
No one kept the boy from going numb, going numb

Ride the horses in
And feed them while the day breaks
Appreciation's all they need
And rye whole lotta time
Is all they can relate to
A saddle and a court to beat the time

And birds were there and cowards too
And candy for the first time
Blinded by his trip the boy was reaching for the stairway
High so high

No one kept the boy from going numb

When will I get older
I'm hardly any wiser
a reason to believe you
Until I die
Rozen to the turnstiles
A harbourside to be mine
A reason to believe you
Until I die

13: The leaves

All the leaves are falling down
Let's make a photograph
I travelled six days on a row
To find the world the same

Weekends out and weekends in
Oh, I can't take no more
I thought a girl inside your face
Could make seasons turn

All the leaves are falling down
Let's make a photograph
I travelled six days on a row
To find the world the same

God has point a gun in my heart
God has point a gun in my heart
God has point a gun in my heart
God has point a gun in my heart
God has point a gun in my heart
God has point a gun in my heart
God has point a gun in my heart

14: Hope, love & happiness

Hope love and happiness
And your smile so gently
Yet so silently
School flows in front of my eyes
Coloured shapes captured
In a twisted mind

Empty words
Honeybee, slowly go
Where I'm free
Sorrow sight for lonely eyes
Hummin' all the way

True love come over me
You might have changed so easy
Yet so finally
Only 13 fell in love
Just one word, just another photograph

Empty words, phrases
Honeybee, slowly go
To where I long to be
Sorrow sight for lonely eyes
Hummin' all the way

Empty words
Honeybee, slowly go
Where I'm free
Sorrow sight for lonely eyes
Hummin' all the way

Hope love and happiness
