Everything was ready but he had to run away
Shot for the money on the very same day
Le garage, le garage-rage
Le garage, le garage-rage

Everything was ready but he had to run away
Shot for the money on the very same day
Le garage, le garage-rage
Le garage, le garage-rage

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit

You, you are the thing
With you tight skin, making me jealous??
And I agree, I never think now when I'm with you

And I wont say a word of its true if it's not true
Le garage, le garage-rage

And things pushed in my face
With locked arms, making me nuder to everything
You you give me sound??, I always think now when I'm with you

And I wont say a word of its true if it's not true
Le garage, le garage-rage
And I wont say a word of its true if it's not true
Le garage, le garage-rage

A to b, a to b
Oh to move your

It is a shame, it is a pity
When you cant raise the energy to get from a to b

A to b
A to b (i ask a question you wouldn't comment)
A to b (forget the question think nothing of it)
A to b, oh to move your body

I ask a question, you make a comment
Impossible, to make a comment
I ask a question, you make a comment
Can you say that again, 'cos I didn't catch your comment

And you say you're gonna reform, and you see you gotta move
Well its no excuse it's no excuse, because there's no excuse to use
Why do you say you're gonna reform, and you see you gotta move
Well its no excuse it's no excuse, because there's no excuse for you to us

A to b (I asked a question you wouldn't comment)
A to b (forget the question think nothing of it)(forget all my questions)
A to b (I asked a question you wouldn't comment)(forget all my questions)
A to b, oh to move your body

It is a shame, it's a real pity
When you have to be lazy, when you have to start early
When you can't raise the energy to get from a to b

This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues
If you know the clues it's easy to get through

But you look confused and you don't know what to do
Its hard to get an answer when you haven't got a clue
If you work it out tell me what you find

If the least you can do is show some restraint
Then the most you can do is get carried away

But you look confused and you don't know what to do
Say what you see, what you like
If you work it out tell me what you find
We can have a few decent days and nights

If you're meant to be here and you want to be late
The best thing you can do is get lost on the way

I can see that you look confused and you don't know what to do
Say what you see, what you like
If you work it out tell me what you find
We can have a few decent days and nights

If you want to make a guess you should know its not a game
'cause you'll never get a chance to make another guess again

This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues
If you know the clues it's easy to get through

But you look confused and you don't know what to do
Its hard to get an answer when you haven't got a clue
If you want to make a guess you should know its not a game
'cause you'll never get a chance to make another guess again
If you work it out tell me what you find

. . .



I wasn't laughing properly, when you were talking to me
I didn't find it funny, your story didn't do it for me
False conversations, false conversations
And you thought that I was joking when I said you were a moron
When I said it I was smiling, so you thought that I was joking

It's easy, to try. it's easy, any time
We can talk, if we like
Let's forget it for the meantime
False conversations, a waste of time, false conversations
It's not interesting to have false conversations
You've stolen all your stories and I don't have the patience

It's easy, to try. it's easy, any time
We can talk, if we like
Let's forget it for the meantime
It's easy, to try. it's easy, any time
We can talk, if we like
Let's forget it for the meantime

You are a decent person and you have a function
So why do we say hello? it's just a fashion that we follow that we should be
forgetting
But then you do it again, you do the same again
You are a decent person and you have a function
So why do we say hello? it's just a fashion that we follow that we should be
forgetting
It's a fashion that we follow that we should be forgetting
It's a fashion that we follow that we should be forgetting
But then you do it again, you do the same again

It's easy, to try. it's easy, any time
We can talk, if we like
Let's forget it for the meantime
It's easy, to try. it's easy, any time
We can talk, if we like
Let's forget it for the meantime

You wasted it, you fell asleep
It was not late, you missed the point

You wasted it, you fell asleep
It was not late, you missed the point

You wasted it, you fell asleep
It was not late, you missed the point

You thought that you could disappear
You thought it easier to be here
You thought that you could disappear
You thought it easier to be here

You wasted it, you fell asleep
It was not late, you missed the point

Don't ask me for alms, don't ask me for a-a-alms
Don't ask me to follow you anywhere / don't ask me for alms

All aboard at port b, hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry
All aboard at port b,/ hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry

When u get to port c you will be happy
When u get to port c you will be happy
Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy no

Don't put me in your arms, don't put me in ur a-a-arms
Don't ask me to follow you anywhere, don't ask me for alms
Don't ask me for alms, don't ask me for alms
Don't ask me for alms. don't ask me for alms

The beginning of the disaster was difficult to spot
The speed of your reaction was to slow to make a difference
Far to slow to make it stop

You got everything together, you sailed it down the river
You said it was relaxing then you disappeared forever
I can not remember, the times we were together
Perhaps it's just the water, pulling both of us under

Now there's nothing by the river, but your washed up umbrella
Not enough to make a difference, not enough to make it stop

It cut thought the water as we watched it getting closer
And you said that it would soon fall down the drain
You said it didn't matter but then that is you all over
And the danger of the water meant it wasn't worth the bother

Danger danger water water
Danger danger water water
Danger danger water water
Danger danger water

. . .



I can't say what they're gonna do
Got your cards marked
And they're coming for you
Gonna kneel down

Its another lonely winters day December's coming soon
Gonna need your coat
Gonna cut your throat
Gonna lay you down (gonna lay you down gonna lay you down)
Gonna waste all of your time (gonna lay you down gonna lay you down)

You're old enough to know better (ooh ooh ooh)
Don't burn by the fire what goes on inside
When everything is made better (ooh ooh ooh)
The carnival kids will settle they're laid back in style

I can't say what they're gonna do
Take you to a field in the car boot
Gonna let you go (down down down)
Join a freak show

Gonna cut your hair
Gonna loose your mind playing truth or dare
Gonna lay you down (gonna lay you down gonna lay you down)
Gonna waste all of your time (gonna lay you down gonna lay you down)

You're old enough to know better (ooh ooh ooh)
Don't burn by the fire what goes on inside
When everything is made better (ooh ooh ooh)
The carnival kids will settle they're laid back in style

You should be old enough
You should be old enough
You should be

. . .



I will go to another place, nowhere special just another town
You should come to the other place, make it special and make no loss
Make it special and make mo loss / cover the cost, cover the cost,
Cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost
Cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost

These extra expenses make brilliant senses
All you have to do is take your chances
Cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost
These extra expenses make brilliant senses
Extra extra

These are the things that make it better
Are you ready for the city? is the city ready for you?
Don't you know you have to choose? the city is here for you to use
Are you ready for the city? is the city ready for you?
Don't you know you have to choose? the city is here for you to use
Are you ready for the city? is the city ready for you?
Don't you know you have to choose? the city is here for you to use

Oh you have to cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost
Cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost

Are you ready for the city? city is here for you to use
Is the city ready for you? city is here for you to use
Don't you know you have to choose? city is here for you to use
City is here for you to use, city is here for you to use

Cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost
Cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost, cover the cost

Welcome to your new job, hope you have a wonderful first day
We are so happy to have you join the team, you are so lucky on your first day
And they say

This is the job that people die for, I hope you're ready for the next stage
Alot of people work in the same place, don't let them get in your way

Dinner time you go to the cantine, you make a new friend at the dinner break
You like to talk when you're eating, but today you listen to him

And he says like it or not, you have to do what they say
And it is something that you would like to talk about, but it's only your first

A girl from our city went missing from her home
People left their houses people left their homes
He was not invited when he went into her room
He wanted it now she wanted it soon
He'd love to make her??
But when she told him no he foresaw her lucky smile

He knows she'd given him all the signs
He knows she'd given him all the sounds
He knows he didn't have that much time
He knows until the body was found

A girl from our city went missing from her home
And the people left their houses and the people left their homes
He was not invited when he went into her room
It was just a matter of time, he wanted it now she wanted it soon
It was just a matter of time, and he broke the door down he broke it in two
It was just a matter of time, then the family walked out when there was nothing
they could do
It was just a matter of time, it was just a matter of time
It was just a matter of time, it was just a matter of time

He knows she'd given him all the signs
He knows she'd given him all the sounds
He knows he didn't have that much time
He knows until the body was found

And the authorities weren't pleased when they couldn't bring her home
It was just a matter of time, it was just a matter of time
?? hoping to do, it was just a matter of time, ?? hoping to do

It was just a matter of time, it was just a matter of time
It was just a matter of time, it was just a matter of time
It was just a matter of time - do you really think so
It was just a matter of time - do you really think so
It was just a matter of time - do you really think so

You eat shit 'cos you're stupid and shallow
But I like it when you're stupid and shallow
When you're dying on the floor
And you won't stop talking about it any more

You eat shit 'cos you're stupid and shallow
But I like it when you're stupid and shallow
When you're dying on the floor
And you won't stop talking about it any more

You eat shit cos you're stupid and shallow
But I like it when you're stupid and shallow
When you're dying on the floor
And you won't stop talking about it any more

You eat shit cos you're stupid and shallow
I like it when you're stupid and shallow
? when you're stupid and shallow
??

An alpha male is better than a b male
A female is better than a male male

Oh oh ee oh oh oh ee oh stupid and shallow
Oh oh ee oh oh oh ee oh stupid and shallow
Oh oh ee oh oh oh ee oh stupid and shallow
Oh oh ee oh oh oh ee oh stupid and shallow

One thing or another's always getting in the way
Of this and it's what we do, of this and it's what we do
Wasting time and money's so much sicker than you think
Especially when it's you, especially when it's you
Stopping all the clocks, I'm trying not to think about time

It's all a game of number and who says that they won't lie?
Look at what they made us do, look at what they made us do
How can you be abstract if you're always on the brink
Of finding out something new, finding out something new
I'm taking off my watch / I'm trying not to think about time

First thing it's the money, after a while it's my health, my heath, my heath, my
heath, my heath
Nights & days & hours doesn't seem to be much help, much help, much help, much
help, much help
You need to sort this problem out, it's going to take a while, gonna take a
while

One thing or another's always getting in the way
Getting in the way, getting in the way
Spending time and money's so much quicker than you think
Quicker than you think, quicker than you think

It's all a game of number and who says that they won't lie?
They won't lie
How can you be abstract if you're always on the brink
Of finding something new, finding something new

There's no time time, there's no time time

First thing it's the money, after a while it's my health, my heath, my heath, my
heath, my heath
Nights & days & hours doesn't seem to be much help, much help, much help, much
help, much help
You need to sort this problem out, it's going to take a while, gonna take a
while

When I was a child, running in the night, I was afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark and hiding on the street, and of what was following me

The hounds of love are calling
I've always been a coward, and I don't know what's good for me

Well here I go, it's coming at me through the trees
Help me, someone, help me, please
Take my shoes off, and I will throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps
on the water

I found a fox, who was caught by dogs, he let me take him in my hands
His little heart, it beat so fast
And I'm ashamed to be running away
From nothing real, I just can't deal with this
I feel ashamed to be there

Among your hounds of loving
And feel your arms surround me
I've always been a coward, and I don't know what's good for me

Oh, here I go, don't let me go, hold me down
It's coming at me through the trees
Help me, someone, help me, please
Take my shoes off, and I will throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps
on the water
And I will be, two steps on the water

Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, I need love love love love
love, yeah
Take your shoes off, and throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps on the
water
Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, I need love love love love
love, yeah
Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, I need love love love love
love, yeah

. . .



It gives me man ray
It's what we like
It gives me weston
Touch each other in black and white
Eia eia eieieia, eia eia eieieia, eia eia eieieia etc..

Where did your hands go
When you thought I was your life
I could see his hands
They were touching you all night

And where did your hands go
When you thought I was your life
I could see his hands
They were touching you all night
Touching you all night night night

Touch yourself, touch yourself, touch each other in black and white
Touch yourself, touch yourself, touch each other in black and white
Touch yourself, touch yourself, touch each other in black and white
Touch yourself, touch yourself, touch each other in black and white

Give me man ray
It's what we like
Give me weston
Touch each other in black and white

Touch yourself touch yourself / touch each other in black and white
Touch yourself, touch yourself, touch each other in black and white
Touch yourself, touch yourself, touch each other in black and white
Touch yourself, touch yourself, touch each other in black and white
