Millencolin Album

The sun is shining and the babes are surfing nude
I've got a Bud in my hand and I'm relaxing in the sand
I smile, they smile as my bud is getting hot
they want me to be a surfer and man why not?
I'm surfing in my room
I feel so satisfied as I'm surfing in my room

The wind is blowing and the waves are all I see
they take me away into another perfect dream
that's what it is, a dream

Surfing in my room, I feel like a star
It's just too bad that I can't get far
I feel like a man

When I saw you, I was not even looking
I heard you scream without raising your voice
will I run or let you have your fun
I feel like I ain't got no choice

But Maybe I ask too much or walk in the wrong direction
All those thoughts drive me insane
and I wonder how long I fell this

Pain, is not really what it is
no, it's something different with a different name
and you, you never tell me a damn thing
I hope someday I'll learn to play this game

Fear, of course I fear the unknown
because the unknown is a stranger to me
but if you erase the pj's
then what could a stranger be
that remains to be seen

Life goes on, it's just the same every day

I spend all the weekdays hangin' out with you
I guess I haven't got a better thing to do
you give me nothing though I'm happy all the time
when the weekend comes you turn me down

You try to shake me

Do you remember when we were playing pool
I was romantic and said you were a fool
those are the moments that I really miss
when I'm cool and you think I try to dis

I tried to hide my pain inside of me
but when you came you made me feel real
you made me feel like I really am
god damn, now I'm loosing you just because I care

You are my headache, I don't wanna be alone
When I'm lonely you make me write another song
I think of you and all the things we've done

So what if I don't understand
I'll always be an equal man to myself
I don't know who he is, I don't know what he thinks
But he gives me a sign, I wanna read all the unknown lines

There's a man outside my window, he has no control

When I travel deep, it's like a mystic sleep
I got my feet on the ground
I'm on my way to the unknown land

Now it's time to get concrete
Feel the inside of me deep
when he calls me I won't open up the door

You pick your nose while I'm watching
and I'm quite impressed
if you pick again, pick one for your friends
they're leaving you, leaving you all alone
When you're in the mood to do the stuff that you'll regret
then take a knife, it could end your life
what goes around always comes around

It's your nose that you're picking
It's your choice to pick your nose and think
It's grose to pick your nose like that in front of all your so called friends
but if it makes you feel better than this story's rather sad

Just let me tell you what I think
I think you really stink
you took my feelings and went away, stay away
is it enough or do you want some more?
I will never open my door for you anymore
if you don't change your way, stay away

I don't want to ask you another question
about me and you, because you don't care
you're acting like a square, is this fair?

Nosepicker told me, plug your finger and keep on picking
But don't pick on me, I'm in your dreams in color
and I think I'll stay there for long
Forget the time, it's pointing at you

Use your nose as your tail, going switchstance, never bail
find a curb, do a grind, feel the things you can not find

I got a plan for you and I
I wanna take you to for this ride
across the flippin' beans
I'll sit and wait for you and me

I want and I feel
that piece of you, that I see that's for me

You say you really hate it too
you say you wanna take a highgrip
inhale gasoline, you sit and wait
then you watch me flee

Stranger in a strange land
that's what I am
you turn away from me, boom and bam
I got to see you, cause you blew my mind

Tell me where you need to go
Kick me if I move to slow
Hear me listen with your mind
see me even if your blind

Will you walk with me right now ?
will you talk to me this time ?
I can take a way the fog
Waiting for my yellow dog

Tell me about the things you hide
Trust me and I'll be by your side
Don't lie to me or to your self
Don't cry don't lay this on the shelf

I always try to make things right
though it seems to be for nothing
it's hard to accept the fact
that you may not want me

Think I'll keep on treating you this way
even though it may not change you
well that's my only chance
read my lips and listen if you can
you try to be so damn cool
look inside, analyze yourself

I know that things are getting tougher
When you can't get top off from the bottom of the barrel
Wide open road of my future now...
It's looking fucking narrow

All I know is that I don't know nothing

We get told to decide
Just like as if I'm not gonna change my mind

All I know is that I don't know nothing

Whatcha gonna do with yourself
Boy better make up your mind
Whatcha gonna do with yourself boy
You're running out of time
This time I got it all figured out:

All I know is that I don't know nothing...

I spend my time thinking about you and I know,
I should think less.
I'm caring about you girl,
I care a whole lot less.
I give my self to you and now I'm so less.
I'm always thinking about you yeah.

I think a whole lot less,
A whole lot less,
A whole lot less,
A whole lot less.

1,2,3,4

I spend my time thinking about you and I know,
I should think less.
I'm caring about you girl,
I care a whole lot less.
I give my self to you and now I'm so less.
I'm always thinking about you yeah.

I think a whole lot less,
A whole lot less,
A whole lot less,

I'm not a cool guy anymore
as if I ever was before
I took a look at all the signs
then rolled it over in my mind
the feelings I could not release
became a bitter part of me
what was I thinking of?
it couldn't stay the way it was
I looked at my reflection
and I saw a stranger's face
I saw where I was going a
and I had to walk away

I lost a girl, it's just as well
she tried to save me from myself
I've still got her on my mind
tossing and turning in my bed
but if she had stayed another week
I would have dragged her down with me
she took it 'til she had enough
is that what I thought love was?
I told her "see you later"
But it's hard to see at all
at the bottom of the barrel
with your back against the wall

Well I'm not acool guy anymore
left it behind me, then locked the door
I know you can't escape the past
now I look back and have to laugh
I was my worst enemy
it almost got the best of me
what was I thinking of?
it couldn't stay the way it was
I looked up one day and saw it was up to me
you can only be a victim if you admit defeat
I looked up one day and saw it was up to me

[No lyrics]

I see her eating maggots and I think it's cool
I watch her as she throws up

She's a bit of muslin, a vitriolic nasty girl
mysterious in every way, moving like a swirl
fly guys surrounds her, hoping she will be their girl
but this sphinx is a notion
and no man will ever get to her

I want to recall the stuff that she might have missed

things you never would have told aren't secrets anymore
today you talk about that time when your mind was really sore

now I know why you have been thinking about the other side
you never thought that it would happen and now you have lost your pride
going up going down, sometimes I feel the same way as you do,
you feel to scream you feel to cry

melancholy protection
you've got to move on

you are chanceless to find the warmth again

I spend all the weekdays hangin' out with you
I guess I haven't got a better thing to do
you give me nothing though I'm happy all the time
when the weekend comes you turn me down

You try to shake me

Do you remember when we were playing pool
I was romantic and said you were a fool
those are the moments that I really miss
when I'm cool and you think I try to dis

I tried to hide my pain inside of me
but when you came you made me feel real
you made me feel like I really am
god damn, now I'm loosing you just because I care

You are my headache, I don't wanna be alone
When I'm lonely you make me write another song
I think of you and all the things we've done

[No lyrics]

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bound you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

O' can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I fell so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, please

Every move you make
Every step you take

Jump on outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'n' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just used your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

Workin' 9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it

Can't you see that he's a fake thing
Can't you see that he will break things
For a start he will break your heart
And after that he'll never pick up the parts

But I'm not a guy with muscles, I'm a guy with brains
If you come to me you'll never feel pain
My everlasting charm won't cause you no harm

Can't you see that he's a big hype
Can't you see that he's not your type
Can't you see it in his blue eyes
Can't you see he's so full of lies

You think you're cool cause you know every girl in town, but you don't do
cause when you're out at night they don't look your way
you've got all that trendy shit and a jolly air for brains
and you are busy to watch out for that ugly girl you know

You think girls like that will ruin your style
cause a perfect guy like you need something more
you're so cool, you've got everything a girl desire
you're so cool, with a perfect butt you can go far

You're telling me that I am thinking way to small to understand
that you have reached your goals and I am far away
and all the things you say that you know I don't want to hear
so throw your empty words away and listen to what I say
I'm not jealous in all the lies you tell, just take it easy
you might end up in hell
you're so perfect, you've got everything and you are way to cool

Get up in the morning slaving for bread sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Oooh, oooh mi Israelites.

Mi wife an' ma kids them a pack up an' a leave me
"Darling" she said "I was yours to be seen"
Oooh, oooh mi Israelites

Who am I workin' for?

Cho! Shirt dem a tear-up trousers a go
I don't wan' to end up like Bonny and Clyde
Oooh, oooh mi Israelites

After a storm there must be a calm
You catch me in your farm, you sound your alarm

I take a piece of paper, make a heart and send it to you
And I sure wanna cut a paper, I wanna scream and shout
so don't cut me out, cause Vixen, baby, you're alright
You are the sweetest girl that I have met, don't play hard to get
N + L is true. You know that I love you

It's not over, baby, it's not the ending
Vixen, I think my heart is mending
It's not over, we're just getting higher
in this super painful game called love

Our relationship is changing, you moved away and I am stuck
on you and in my empty room, but anyhow I wish you luck
You're a fox and I'm a schmuck and I can't make a chant about anything
but you, you know I can't

Call you up close to 5 am, woke you up again around 7
