1. _ Man Or Mouse
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hate myself when going
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hear me I sound like a Beatle
I get cold feet when the pressure is on
You can't see me coz I'm lost like a needle
In a haystack yeah I'm almost gone
Like a mouse follows the flute
Or like a mute who can't dispute I fall in line with you
Mouse more than Man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan
Mouse more than Man, yes I am
Coz yet I go with the flow
See me as a chameleon, a cheap shot
I change my cast for anybody's best
But I'm not free I feel more like a robot
That is programmed to please the rest
So whatever you want I'll do
Whenever you want me to I will agree with you
Mouse more than Man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan
Mouse more than Man, yes I am
Coz yet I go with the flow
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hate myself when going
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No more sound like a Beatle
Those cold feet are for yesterday
No more getting the needle
I cannot care about what others say
Mouse more than Man, yes I am
You know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan
Mouse more than Man, yes I am
Coz yet i go with the flow before the shit hits the fan
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
This is my last time going
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

2. _ Botanic Mistress
All I wanna do
Is live my life with you
Talk you've gotta grow
I'll give you H2O
All I want to do
Is live a simple life here with you
I felt like Travis Bickle, tyrannical, lonely and blue
I don't know why I went to Botanical but there I met you
You made me go from blue to green just in time
Before I get mohawk
When we're together I'd say we look like brooklime
And you can't talk or walk but I love your leafstalk
All I wanna do
Is live my life with you
Talk you've gotta grow
I'll give you H2O
All I want to do
Is live a simple life here with you
Your way! I'll send no billet-doux!
If you rather want me to I'll buy a green house for you
You'll always be on the sunny side of my heart
I hope you don't dry out at times when we're apart
Hope you don't leave me in the cart!
As I said
I really hope that you don't leave me in the cart
Coz if you do dry out then that will truly break my heart
And I'll feel like Blickle once more
And maybe I will loose it
Go insane and start a gun war?!

3. _ Fingers Crossed
I alway knew you were a keeper
Maybe not exactly from day one
Guess I never wanted it to be overdone
And even though you are a sleeper
Well, to me that's never been a crime
And after all you woke up in time
So now you're back on your feet again
Now you're back to compete with men
Now you're back and it took some time
To get from misery to prime
Now you're back onto change the world
Now you're back and I say : Go, Girl!
Now you're back and you do just fine
`Coz after rainy days the sun will shine
I know I've been part of reasons
Why you sometimes felt so sore
And I'm sorry I didn't give you more
But now you're heading better seasons
And your mom she's watching you
From above with fingers crossed for everything you do
So now you're back on your feet again
Now you're back to compete with men
Now you're back and it took some time
To get from misery to prime
Now you're back onto change the world
Now you're back and I say : Go, Girl!
Now you're back and you do just fine
So don't resign
`Coz after rainy days the sun will shine
It doesn't matter what others say
Even those you call friends
Don't leave it out for another day
This might be your big chance
You're the one always beside me
When I'm lost you're always to guide me
It's about time I give you something back
I'm the one selfish and greedy
Never care enough what you needed
But even still you had the strength to get back in the end

4. _ Kemp
I gotta learn how to lose and to choose my own wars
I gotta understand it's not me against the world no more
When you are sure as hell then I don't know
You are so pure and well when I am low
When you say "Sure as hell" then I say no
A spoke in your whell yeah like a bugging fly
A thorn in your side just like a constant red fly
On being an ass I've really been a pro
So can i say no?!
I know I've tread on your toes and it shows who I am
And all these situations and relations from the start
They were damned
I feel a need to stop when you say go
I am indeed a flop if you say so
I feel a need to stop so I say no
A spoke in your whell yeah like a bugging fly
A thorn in your side just like a constant red fly
On being an ass I've really been a pro
What can i say?

5. _ Montego
I know I get what I give
Since I don't feel too good guess I don't give much
Maybe I just wanna live
I knock on wood every time I feel human touch
What can I do to fit in?
Kiss up to someone?
It will never happen
When alienation hits in on me
My empathy is gone, my conscious blackens
And I just spit in your face
When you ask for help
My heart is made of stone
Nobody'S best friend. I'm on my defence
Everyone stand alone
Another elbow hit, somebody's ego trip
Everyone stands alone
I know I get what I give
Funny vibes, what goes around comes around
But yeah, I just wanna live
With someone by my side some kind of close bond
Another spit in your face
Every time you need me
I am busy with my own
Whent it all comes down to it we all stand alone
So many times it's been shown
Hearts that are made of stone

6. _ Afghan
Just like the children's sandpit
Just like the wild wild west
At random choose a target
It's not enough to be second best
So you wanna fight them
The weaker one is always wrong
Yeah now you wanna fight them
A real man's gotta show the world he's strong
Stuck up, abuse of powers
It's a part of a leader's role
"We only take what's ours"
A slick line to stay in control
Hate breeds more hate it's easy ot understand
To retaliate and to be a true macho man
Goes hand in hand
So show the world you're strong
The weaker one is wrong
And I know it won't take long
Until they're dead and gone

7. _ Happiness For Dogs
I think I've been wrong in this family affair
It's been too long that we got used
To everything unfair
I'm out there trying to put on the charms
But inside I'm crying
When I remember how you cut your arms
Here comes happiness for dogs like us
And I just hope it's gonna last
The drugs they give you
Are something I don't trust
At least when side effects come fast
Just like in the past
Everyone is not stable
We all got our ups and downs
They gave you a albel
And pills to make you drowse
I do not trust them coz I've seen you fall
What's to discuss
When you almost lost the will to live at all
Here comes happiness for dogs like us
And I just hope it's gonna last
The drugs they give you
Are something I don't trust
When side effects come fast
Just like in the past
When side effects came fast
Happiness it never lasts
Almost twenty years of fighting
For your health not too exiting
And I know there's so much more that I could do
But you just never give up
Hope that one day you will live up
And regain what belongs to nobodoy else but you

8. _ Punk Rock Rebel
Hardcore skater used to be
One of few who inspired me
To get into the punkrock scene
the year I turned seventeen
Our first song ever Danny wrote
For teenage angst he was the antidote
An uncut diamond full of strife
His first demo changed my life
He's a rebel it's plain to see
Punk rock rebel so full of strife
He's a rebel and he'll always be
Someone who changed my life
It takes a lot for a man to stay unbowed
He's the one and only "Svag and proud"
Partners we have been in crime
And in music from time to time
Although most known for his drinking skills
It's not the side of him that gives me thrills
It's the gifted poet I see in Dan
To me he'll always be "the man"

9. _ Black Eye
So now I got a Black Eye
Even though I never got smacked
But if I get a retry
Then I will try to give back
Your were the one who got jacked
And I hope you will forgive me
For whenever I capsize
I know that you can see it in my eyes
I'm not myself right now
My biggest problem is to compromise
But I'm sure I would know how
I show my tragedy with my Black eye
I've been the one to deny
Everything that you do
I said it's all a big lie
Always questioning you
Even though you've been true
And I know that I've been nothing more
Than just a jealous guy
But everybody's talking about you
All the time about things you do
And that's the only time I do realize
That I do love being close to you
And everybody's laughing with you
Guess taht's the thing that I just can't stand
I'm selfish more than I am a man

10. _ Greener Grass
I'm not harmonic
I can't reach self-esteem
That's quite ironic
Coz I thought I'd be living my dream
I don't feel supersonic
I don't drive in the lane of whipped cream
I'm more like a chronic
Ignorantly swimming upstream
What can I do to be happy?
I have problems to decide
When it looks to me the grass is greener
On the other side
How do I live for the moment
When I always wanna be else where?
How do I reach fullfilment
When I'm crashed and got parts to repair?
Why is my only amusement
Giving other people my despair?
Why do I give jealous judgement
On another's affair?
I wanna get satisfaction just like
The Stones and Manu Chao
Gotta ignore all rejection
I gotta keep trying anyhow
I wanna be close to the action
I wann live my life now
For htis correction I need direction
Gotta find it within myself somehow
So maybe one day I'll be happy?!
But until then I have to realize
That the grass is not always greener
It's only up to me to recognize
That the grass is not always greener
It's in your head it might look grenner
Coz the grass will never be greener
On the other side

11. _ Battery Check
Walkin around the streets of Linn |
12. _ Fuel to the Flame
When I met you I said
We would hang out everyday
Now I upset you
From a payphone on Queens West and Bay
She's saying:
The words i'm saying have lost their meaning
When I'm so far from my aim
But trying to tell me I'm only dreaming
Is like adding fuel to the flame
When I told you I'd buy a brand new car, first rate
That was a lie to you when I got a Civic from `88
Even though I upset you
I think we make a really good team
I think it's coz I love you
That I've been living in a dream
And it's you who are that dream
And you've already come true

13. _ Home From Home
For six weeks I had this job
Cleaning the local hospital
The pay was o.k. but I didn't like to swab
So I changed it for a bass guitar
Bordedom was my companion
Stuck to me like glue
But I broke the bond
To make some dreams come true
Like a street to a hustler, a face to the soul
It's the one and the only place we control
It's our reality, not just a poem
It's a place that we call home
For some time I went to school
Tried to learn what's right and wrong
I didn't like their schemes
I couldn't buy their rules
So I went back to where I belong
You gotta love the sound
Of that guitar and the bass
The snare it sounds like a gunfire
It's like a thousand decibel punch in the face
East or West ? well home is the best!
Though I sometimes feel like a clown
But I've also had the feeling. Yes!
That I'm unstoppable
And that no one can bring me down
Step right in
Erase what's on your mind
Step right in
Leave everything behind
Leave it behind
