The Hives Album

Yeah, [x3]
I was right all along,
Yeah, [x3]
You come tagging along,
Exhibit A,
On a tray,
What you say,
Ends up thrown in your face,
Exhibit B,
What you see,
Well that's me,
I'll put you back in your place

Yeah I've done it before,
And I can do it some more,
So what you waiting for?
Yeah!
I was right all along!

[Chorus]

You know I've done it before,
And I can do it some more,
I've got my eye on the score,
I'm gonna cut through the floor,
It's too late,
It's too soon,
Or is it...

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick...Boom!

Yeah, [x3]
I was right you were wrong,
Yeah, [x3]
Going, going you're gone!
I saw you yesterday, waiting too much,
Till it slipped through your hands,
And then you stagger to your feet and out the door,
Cos there's no second chance!

[Chorus]

Now you come crying to me...
But it's too late!
The man you're proud to be,
But it's too late!
Get your head out of the sand,
But it's too late...

It's too late,
Too late,
Too late,
Too late!

Yeah!
But it's too late! [x2]

Get your head out of the sand,
But it's too late!

[Chorus]

It's too late,
It's too soon,
It's too late,
It's too soon,
It's too late,
It's too soon,

Or is it...

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick....
BOOM!

Doo wacko!

Here is to you honey
But I'm out of your league
Never gonna pass me
'Cause I'm out of your league, your league,
your league

Lookie here baby
Your're coming my way
But I move like a landslide
So get out of my way and stay away

Up from the floor on the count of ten
Oh you get up, you get down and you try it again

Up and down and around again Oh you get up,
you get down and you try it again
Up and down and around again Oh you get up,
you get down and you try it again Oh you get
up, you get down and you try it again
All right! Oh Oh Oh

Time to learn a lesson
Like Pavlov's dog
If same-ing isn't working
Why don't you different instead, instead, instead

Like Samson and Delilah
Attila and the Hunns
You're ready for a new round
Don't it look like it's gonna be fun, be fun

Up from the floor on the count of ten
Oh you get up, you get down and you try it again

Up and down and around again Oh you get up,
you get down and you try it again
Up and down and around again Oh you get up,
you get down and you try it again Oh you get
up, you get down and you try it again

They say the definition of madness is doing the
same thing and expecting a different result...

That's right!

Doo wacko! - Up and down
Doo wacko! - Down and up
Doo wacko! - Round for round
Doo wacko! - Hit the ground
Doo wacko! - Up and down
Doo wacko! - Ah you get up, you get down and
you try it again
Down and up - Doo wacko! - Ah you get up, you
get down and you try it again
Round for round - Doo wacko! - Ah you get up,
you get down and you try it again
Hit the ground - Doo wacko!
Ah you get up, you get down and you try it
again (4x)

You wanna dance, you really wanna let it go
You want it bad, but your style is ??
You want it

You do it fast when you really should do it slow
You got it bad, but this time I told you no
You're on it

Hey, it's true
But I wanna know
What you had or did
So just let it go

You wanna laugh, and you really wanna let him know
You're so relaxed and you really wanna let it show
You want it

You're ?? where we worked all the time
But you chose your way and I chose mine
You're on it

Hey, it's true
But I wanna know
What you had or did
So just let it go

Oh no!
Remote control but you got it all
Oh no!
Stand ten feet tall 'cause you got it all
Oh no!
Remote control but you got it all
You've got it all
But you got it all wrong!

We had a laugh but it turned into a don't
We had a line but now I wanna get out
You're on it

I was scared when I made love to you
I put a lid on it and thought, that's it, I'm through!
You're on it

Hey, it's true
But I wanna know
What you had or did
So just let it go

Oh no!
Remote control but you got it all
Oh no!
Stand ten feet tall 'cause you got it all
Oh no!
Remote control but you got it all
Oh no!
Stand ten feet tall 'cause you got it all

And when I say you lose it, you don't believe it at all
It's such a long way to fall, but the writing's on the wall
But when I saw you lose it, I can't even recall
If it was the best of all, your brain a pigeon-small

You got it all
You got it all
You got it all

Yeah

Well All right! I know just what you mean
Well All right! And I know that it might seem
Well All right! I should have better things to do
Well All right! I'm so sick of it, this won't do

First in line but last to know
Move too fast but think too slow
People see me and they go AAAAHHHH!!!!

Whoo Hoo!

Everyone's a loser in the modern world
Look at all the sad and gloomy little boys and girls
All of you got troubles all of you got woes
Shake the chips off your shoulders here is how it goes

Juggling chainsaws with just one hand
Falling down the stairs with a marching band
Swim across the ocean in a concrete suit
Trying to grow a beard but still look cute

Whoo Hoo!

On and on the world spins round
It's enough to get you down
But I don't worry cause sometimes you just have to...
Whoooo Hoooo!

Yeah

Well All right! I know just what you mean
Well All right! And I know that it might seem
Well All right! I should have better things to do
Well All right! I'm so sick of it, this won't do

First in line but last to know
Move too fast but think too slow
People see me and they go... scuse me!

Whoo Hoo!

Everyone's a loser in the modern world
Look at all the sad and gloomy little boys and girls
All of you got troubles all of you got woes
Shake the chips off your shoulders here is how it goes....
Whoooo Hoooo!

Once on a cold dark night
Born into this world
They couldn't tell back then
Is it a boy or a girl?
And since then a story
Of uncertainty
It was clear by age 5
That he would never be free

Hey little world! You know what you're getting
Oh please little world! He's kicking your head in

What you gonna do, any one of you?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Anyone of you, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you

Grew up with plans for nothing
Lives in a house of clay
He didn't know back then
That they liked him that way
He never did what they told him
He never did what they said
Tried to tell him roll over again and this is what you get

Hey little world! You know what you're getting
Oh please little world! He's kicking your head in

What you gonna do, any one of you?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Anyone of you, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you

Take it to your mother

Now he is tall as a 'scraper
Now he is as wide as the sea
And when you look all around you
He is all you see
All around the planet
He's gonna make sure you heard

Hey little world! You know what you're getting
Oh please little world! He's kicking your head in

He's got 'em all lined up and ready to go
They're all lined up and I told you so
Hey little world! Back in the ocean again

What you gonna do, any one of you?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Anyone of you, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
What you gonna do, any one of you?
What you gonna do? Here he comes for you
Hey little world! Back in the ocean again
Said, Hey little world! Back in the ocean again

[No lyrics]

No bright lights
no big city
went to my head
so I wont stick around in this town
No I'm getting out instead

cause I can't find a thing and get it done
raise my heart and ring my ears
so I wont be stick around in this town
that's true

cause I won't
and I can't
and I don't understand
You've become what you hate,
or you hate what you've become?

got me a ticket and I won't be long
cause I can't go on
and I gotta get gone
got me a ticket and I won't be long
cause I can't go on
and I gotta get gone away

so I make my way through the quagmire
who's glorifying me?
you've passed the ... in this city
so if I may be excused

cause I won't
and I can't
and I don't understand

You've become what you hate,
or you hate what you've become?

got me a ticket and I won't be long
cause I can't go on
and I gotta get gone
(x3)
got me a ticket and I won't be long
cause I can't go on
and I gotta get gone away

well I won't be around for the good times
won't be around for the bad
and I won't stick around in this town
no I'm getting out instead

and I won't
and I can't
and I live cause I can
and I won't be back again

Well I got me a ticket and I won't be long
cause I can't go on
and I gotta get gone
(x3)
got me a ticket and I won't be long
cause I can't go on
and I gotta get gone away

and I gotta get gone away
cos I gotta get gone away
gotta get gone away

I know that it has been a long time coming
Your bought your tickets, you waited in line
You were walking and now you find yourself running
To get closer to the giant neon sign

Allow me to
Give you a clue

You're looking at black and white
Seeing our name in lights
Gonna make you feel alright
Cause baby we're here all night

We rule the world,
This is our world

T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.

You hold your breath and now it's silent
The humming of the amps is all you hear
Introducing for the fourth time running
Cause if you don't know we'll make it very clear

Ooooooooohhh
You know it's true

You're looking at black and white
Seeing our name in lights
Gonna make you feel alright
Cause baby we're here all night

We rule the world,
This is our world

T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.

When you're all ripped up around a quarter to ten
Gonna piece you back together by eleven and then
When you sweated it out and you're all soaking wet
Then we'll do it again

We rule the world,
This is our world

T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.

Well we'd talk and talk and talk about it
But talk would do no good
We have little to next to nothing to talk about

And we'd talk and talk and talk around it
But talk would do no good
We have little to next to nothing to talk about

So nothing went from nothing then
And then back to the nothing I expected when
I return the favour
Is it time to go home?

Ooh ooh

Now we can talk and talk and talk about it
Talk until we're blue
It's just a big jug full of stupid passing thru

It's like a boxer's goodbye, I'll see you Cassius Clayter
In French Muhammed ¡ Oui
Yeah we have little to next to nothing to talk about

So nothing went from nothing then
And then back to the nothing I expected when
I return the favour
Is it time to go home?

It's a waste of time and a waste of space
It's just taproom talk through a drunken haze
I return the favour
Guess it's time to go home

Ooh ooh

I got my mind made up and it's getting clear
There's better things to go than staying here
I return the favour
and leave on my own

Ooh ooh

So in the morning - Giddy up!
And in the evening - Giddy up!
We take the matter - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

When times are hardy - Giddy up!
We throw a party - Giddy up!
We climb that ladder - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

Now look at all the fighting
Now look at all the fuzz
This house ain't big enough, not for the both of us
We fight and disagree, we get so tired see
We just let fusion baby, be the solution baby

Our only way to reconcile
Is to get back in the saddle for a little ride
Giddy up now!

So in the morning - Giddy up!
And in the evening - Giddy up!
We take the matter - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

When times are hardy - Giddy up!
We throw a party - Giddy up!
We climb that ladder - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

Now look at silly me, now look at silly you
Avoiding problem core, will only make us sore
But I must say as such, that I don't mind too much
Like how we fight it hon', rode off into the sun

Our only way to reconcile
Is to get back in the saddle for a little ride
Giddy up now!

So in the morning - Giddy up!
And in the evening - Giddy up!
We take the matter - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

When times are hardy - Giddy up!
We throw a party - Giddy up!
We climb that ladder - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

GIDDY UP!

Our only way to reconcile
Is to get back in the saddle for a little ride
Giddy up now!

So in the morning - Giddy up!
And in the evening - Giddy up!
We take the matter - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

When times are hardy - Giddy up!
We throw a party - Giddy up!
We climb that ladder - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

So in the morning - Giddy up!
And in the evening - Giddy up!
We take the matter - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

When times are hardy - Giddy up!
We throw a party - Giddy up!
We climb that ladder - Giddy up!
Back in the saddle - Giddy up!

GIDDY UP!

Well don't have no money cause I don't have a job
Don't have a job cause I ain't got no skills
Ain't got no skills 'cause I was not trained
I was not trained 'cause I didn't go to school
Didn't go to school 'cause nobody told me
Nobody told me 'cause nobody knew shit
Nobody knew shit 'cause nobody knows nothing
Nobody knows nothing and that's just it

What can you do? You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one
You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one

Don't have a home 'cause I don't pay no bills
Don't pay no bills 'cause nobody pays me
Nobody pays me 'cause I don't go to no work
Don't go to no work and that's just it

What can you do? You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one
You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one

I know what you say to me, but baby it can wait
I just stop, take a look around and realize it's too late

No job, no skills, no money, no nothing
No nothing 'cause I want it for free - Dirt cheap!
Want it for free, all that is coming to me

So I look real hard for somebody to blame
Someone to blame!
Somebody to blame or an easy way out
Easy way out!
An easy way out 'cause it ain't much fun
No fun!
The place that starts with a square and ends with a one

What can you do? You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one
You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one

Let down
You feel stupid
Don't cry
Can't do it
You can't win
Don't you forget it
You missed out
You get what's given to you

Square one here I come, here I come square one!
You get what's given to youuuuuuu...

Hey believe me, I have seen your sort before.
You're all over history like dust on the kitchen floor - tell me more.
Your lips are moving, you go on and on and on and on and on.
You swing your rod, rod baby rod, rod but don't swing it at me.

Cuz it's not for me, no I dissagree.

Cuz I heard you before when you said
there is a hole in your heart and it's bleeding.
You dress up for Armageddon,
I dress up for summer.
Yeah!

Hey and now you got their attention
You know, you gotta keep 'em believing
But as a matter of fact, what they believe you're not
believing no more - Tell tell tell tell tell tell me more.
I hear you're one in a million - tell me more.
But there's a million of you - tell, tell me more.
You swing your rod, rod baby rod, rod but don't swing it at me.

It's not for me, no I dissagree.

Cuz I heard you before when you said
There is a hole in your heart and it's bleeding.
You dress up for Armageddon,
I dress up for summer.

Who is that man with the microphone?
Today he's here but tomorrow he is gone.

But it's not for me no I dissagree.

Cuz I heard you before when you said
There is a hole in your heart and it's bleeding.
You dress up for Armageddon,
I dress up for summer.

You feel tortured and filled with regret.
You say life is void of meaning.
Are they not sick of you yet?
Man that's such, man that's such a bummer.

Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight, you hold on tight
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight, you hold on tight
You hold on tight

Got your education from just hanging around
You got your brain from a hole in the ground
You come on up, look around for a will of your own

Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string

With porcelain eyes and the mind of a monkey
Rode into town on the back of what looked like a dead donkey
So I do to you what a puppet master would do
Can you tell? Yeah

Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string

You got your education from just hanging around
You got your brain from a hole in the ground
You come on up, look around for a will of your own
But your mind, yeah

Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight, you hold on tight
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight, you hold on tight
You hold on tight

Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight, you hold on tight
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
You hold on tight, you hold on tight
You hold on tight

Look out!

I pet the cat along the whiskers
And I always go along the grain
You'll never see me in the deep end
If' I ain't got nothing to gain
Don't serve the fool or act the donkey
If you allow me to explain

A man who fights for causes worthy of a fool
Is a fool to fights for causes that's the golden rule
I take it to the table know all know fix know how
But if I'm gonna do it again I ain't gonna do it now

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill

You see I have a proper education
I use enough to get me by
I got the answers to all problems
But I ain't even gonna try

Work hard and be honest take chance and stay true
just add it to the list of things that I ain't gonna do
Wherever there is a question a blurry answer's
here to find
I say I'm gonna help you but I'm gonna change
my mind

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill

Got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill
I got no time to spill- ohohoh

He's got no time to spill
He's got a bigger hole to fill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No he's got no time to spill
Cuz I got a bigger hole to fill

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill

They say our summer vacation
Has come to an end
And that we simply have no more holiday to spend

They say no more barefoot
No playing around in the pool
They say now it’s time for us to go back to school

Got all my friends, a teacher, okay
But why do we really have to study all day
Well see I’m on to your scam and I’ll tell you how
We ended up with a Fall that we know of now

A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
They gave it a name and we all know it as Fall
The line of the story that I have presented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented.

Though some things in Fall are just too good to pass
Jumping in leaves and Halloween is a gas
But I’d rather see to it that the truth be told
So I better do it now before I grow old

They wanted a break after the summer disarray
To rest up then handle the stress of Christmas day
So the grown-ups got together and made up the rule
That kids shouldn’t be playing
No they should be in school

A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
They gave it a name and we all know it as Fall
The line of the story that I have presented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented.

Break

A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
They gave it a name and we all know it as Fall
The line of the story that I have presented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented.

Fall is just something that grown-ups invented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented
Fall is just something that grown-ups invented
