Pennybridge Pioneers

I'm leaving the wat. top buddhism no longer loyal
I'm breaking my heart
As my compassion to the third world turned to greed
Bye, bye real mccoy, no ideals as if i was royal
Now, i'm a material boy
There's nothing in the world i don't think i need

Now i'm shopping, i'm not stopping
There will always be new stuff to buy
And i'll expand my needs somehow

I bought an imac and mouse, a phone to go with my new spirit
Next step might be a house, six bedrooms and a pool just for me
I will live like a tsar, the beggers chant won't hear it
I'll have a boat, new tv and car
And in my mouth a fat cuban cigar

Now i'm shopping, i'm not stopping
There will always be new stuff to buy
And i'll expand my needs somehow
I'll expand my needs somehow i swear

No matter what i feel for you
Those three words i can't say
I regret the times i used the word ok
I know how much it means when people show they really care
Of the value in honesty i'm quite aware
But still there's much in my that i don't share

Don't have the guts to say what i think
I'm too scared, to say what i think of you

The other way around, i'd say
I function the same way
The darker sides of me i underplay
Affraid to get into conflicts
Affraid to tell you no
Though i know this weekness keeps me low
There's so much inside me that i don't show

Something i can never show
Why i don't know...

Don't have the guts to say what i think
I'm too scared, to say what i think of you
I'm too scared of what i really think of you

Everybody is leaving, from this town and from me
They've got the burning flame, they sure achieve their aim
You know that's tough for me to see
Oh, how i wish i could do the same as them and go
Just pack my bags and good-bye
Get out fast or fade away real slow

'cause what you see is what you get right here
Where a change is nowhere near
What you see is what you get from me
In this duckpond leave me be

Pretend my life is perfect, like the faces on tv
Yeah, that's the only way to face another day
Try to deny the misery
But those are the way of looney's, and like a clown
Yeah, i do act
No matter where i could be or would like to go
I'm stuck here, that's a fact

I'm too weak, i'm down on my knees
Too feeble for something new
Feels like there's nothing i can do
Keep on laughing 'bout me
Keep on doing your own
But someday i will be that one

Be that one
Yeah someday i will be that one...

I'm holding you as you feel scared and small
You've lost someone you love
And it's her you're thinking of
It's all that matters to you right now
And it will be like this for long
I'll be close to you, won't hide
'cause i know you need me by your side

You wanna see her back again
You wanna see her back into this world

These past few months have been the thoughest of your life
You've lost someone you love
And there's no greater pain above
I know how close you were too
And the joy and love you shared
It was sweet for me to see
But now it's aching inside me

If only she could see you now
Deep inside i think she can somehow
She'd be the happiest mom, she'd be so proud
She'd laugh and smile
- shut up your dreaming!
You're screaming at me loud
And that's the way you really feel

Back into this world...

Yes, i'm a yugoslav, indeed a swede
Got two brothers, girlfriend, dad and mom
Good boxershorts i need, lots of maps i read
I would love to run my own farm

I like the beatles, funk and punk
I watch hockey, basketball, play chess
I eat veggie-junk and i love superchunk
To boule and travel i say yes

All this i adore, at the same time, it's just me
It's what i care for, it's what i wanna be

I want it all, i want it all to stay right here
I want it all to be a part of slick nick's sphere
I want it all to be sincere, where ever i go

Lisa, madonna are girls who know where it's at
And dr. kris is a favorite rocker
My main star miat, we have a car, a fiat
Yeah, still my dearest sport is soccer

I'm not an ace on bass, it's what i face
But yeah i think it's king to sing
Sailingboats i chase, i'd like to go into space
Riding my silverfox is the real thing

I want it all, i want it all to stay right here
I want it all to be a part of slick nick's sphere
I want it all to be sincere, where ever i go
Where ever i go, where ever i go, where ever i...
All around the world i go, pennybridge, belgrade and even t.o.

When i was younger, i did not know how to be
I lived my own lie and never asked the question why
I always talked and dressed like everyone 'round me
Where were my own views and my own thoughts?
I didn't have a clue

Insecurity, no confidence that was my style
I did some false things, you'd say i was playing the wrong strings
To realize and see how lost i was, it took a while
But it was worth it, 'cause now i'm much more confident and fit

I'm not going down the highway
'cause i had the might to stop
And turn around before it was too late
Instead i'm slowly going my way
And if i don't reach the top
I still got lots right here, i appreciate

Just because i'm older now, does not mean i'm incomplete
Yeah, i still have got fear, it's not as string but it's still here
And i'm confused at times, but now i know where to put my feet
Right in my own trail, that's the only place if i don't wanna fail

The last selection in the ballgame
Does never get a pass
"not appreciated's" just his first name
He's the scapegoat of the class
There are no friends to cheer him up, and
No girls, no sweet romance
It's impossible to expand
When you never get a second chance

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? he's in pain and misery

He's not going to the school-pram
He said he had the flu
Trumped-up excuses as he told mom
- "i'm safer here with you"
She told her son - "someday they'll all be
Sorry for mistreating you
Don't be affraid my son and trust me
You'll be someone they will look up to"

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? he's in pain and misery...
Do you care to see?

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? he's in pain and misery
