Puzzle

Here we are again with another bunch of soft songs maybe you are wondering why it took us so long with a schedule tight, studiotime is sight we have mostly been on touring. Inspiration has been hard this time and honestly I've had some problems with all these rhymes.

We're under stress again, but it has always been that way and once we get it right, then i know it's there to stay. We're under stress again, but we're used to all that now It's always tough at first but somehow we always end up fine.

Third album, less of ska nad not so many fast ones more of puppy, pushysongs, those that we do best now. Nine to five at Unisound in January '97 we had the greatest time, with Dan as engineer now the outcome is what you hear.

If you're lonely or if you're happy feeling swell or feeling blue, we might have a tune for you. It;s about half of an hour, maybe less or maybe more whatever it might be it's still softcore.

Lozin' Must

When i am lozin' must in a conversation it makes me use my imagination start to think that they're after me 'cause I'm as sore as those monkeys hope. The chat goes on and i feel smaller, the guys in front of me they get taller when i open my mouth again to tell them something more they answer me with a hockeyscore.

Must be strong, can't be wrong or you'll be lozin' must, you'll be lozin' trust in yourself.

Well, i have this girl and i make her crazy when i'm gone she's bored and lazy. I get a kick from pushin' her but i'm not sure about how she feels about it. My favorite hockeyteam are strugglin' it makes my stoamch bubblin' bad their hard time really makes me sad. We had some fucked up years now it's time to whipe away those tears.

It's been a tough time for me this past year, lots of questions who i am or what i wanna be. I also found some answers the fog is gone. I feel better every day and now the feeling is here to stay.

Random I Am

Every morning, it's a new surprise don't know who i am before i roll the dice the options is the only thing that i decide you see, i live for the moment now I never did before, with all and everything i sweap the floor random i am, i never give a damn about what's gonna happen next my wife and kids they left me and my job is just a memory but that's the kind of price you've got to pay if you're gonna go your own way solving problems can be done in many ways

I don't care, i just roll the dice.It's o.k., 'cause i just have to pretend that i am someone else.

Get rid of all the habits now that's the plan come on and try it and you'll feel grand the first step is the hardest step to take imagination is the only brake just roll the dice and everything will turn out nice you can be who you wanna be do what you wanna do and do it how you like this is my way of getting through the day, but i still don't know.

INDEX

Boring Planet

When i was a kid i thought that i could fly threw myself out of a window, right out into the sky now when i am older i know that i could die die from a depression, i would learn my lesson well.

Life's so normal, nothing's shocking Boring planet, cause no one here is rocking. Life's so tragic, nothing's clocking Boring planet cause no one here is rocking hard.

When i was a kid i thought that i was strong the girls in school got beaten up by me every day long now when i am older i know that it was wrong to deal with girls in the first place, cause a broken heart is now the case i'm broken hearted in disgrace.

It's a boring planet, we're just lying to ourselves. It's a boring planet, thanks to us and no one else.

INDEX

Monkey Boogie

A snake, a fake, he's lame, he's in the game for the money and for the fame a spin, a grin, he's on and then we yawn steals the credit then he's gone he's the man with a plan and first he'll seem helpfull to make sure that you're on the hook he's so full of bull and he sure will pull some strings to make things go his way everything will go his way.

We're in the monkey biz the monkey boogie is nothing new and he'll be doin' the dance with you.

Humble, mumble, stumble don't think so that is not the way to go connect, collect, correct, what did you expect? Did you think that he seriously cares for you? Do the monkey boogie, orangu-tango, baboon!

INDEX

Twenty Two

I'm one year older now since last time i saw you in case you wanna know, i'm about to say what i'm up to first of all i'm a sluggard movin' slow in a clumsy way some peace of mind is what i want, but that will be the day i've been going with the flow for too long now, this must end running 'round in circles, i've been so far away from myself searching for the energy and the time to make a change in my life instead of watching it pass by, get something done while i'm alive.

I'm twenty two, don't know what i'm supposed to do or how to be, to get some more out of me. I'm twenty two, so far away from all my dreams i'm twenty two, feeling blue.

I try to activate myself thre best i can so that boredom won't catch up with me, i've my daily plan wake up late, then rehearse a bit with the band, i guess it's cool? Later when i'm home again i boil a note or two then i go to bed that's what i do.

Afraid that i will be weak forever i can't stay in this shape any longer my life's just another cliche.

INDEX

Black Gold

Can you pass me the black gold? I wanna know how many shirts got sold I'm gonna beat you in soccer we bought our Juve-shirts in an Italian footlocker We saw the real world today poor swedes were afraid left France behind us broke some fingers of Magnus'.

Like it or not, I always say that i'd rather go home like it or not, this time i never wanted to go home

Ingredients is a big thing we crown Stavanger as king wanna see more of Moulder at night the bus is getting colder we saw the real world today did you know it's in Brussels? Now we hope that you missed us we'll be home to X-mas.

Wanna see you again someday soon, it'd be great you're totally o.k. It's over now, it's December like a friend once said, it's times to remember.

INDEX

Trendy Winds

Trendy winds are blowing thru my hair the punk elite are checking everything i wear I'm tired of their endless whine, why can't they mind their own? cause what i am is what i will be.

Don't need you or your crew to tell me what to think or do everyday when you try to waste my time i waste a rhyme.

Sometimes i can't understand what's wrong cause this scene is filled with people who's bad and nong you're an idiot and loser if you go their way cause you don't need no one-track crew now.

Sometimes i can't understand what's wrong to all you suckers we dedicate this song.

INDEX

Otis

I remember when this was different than a job for friendship and for fun, in harmony we got it done we had a good scene going in our hometown Pennybride most of those bands are gone, it can be tough to stand alone so many times it has been shown.

But it looks good, just as it should feels good, not for me i can't stay that yet now when you're filled up with regret if i felt good today you know what i would stay.

You were my girl until this day i can't understand you're not anymore more than two years shared with you all the things that we've been through. In my memory forever, you'll be there untill i die and though this is the end, i love you more than as a friend doesn't matter it's the end.

Everything has it's time and i will sure have mine so many things that we start almost tear us apart, eventually everyone has their own way they got to go so many things that we start with people who breakes our heart one time, then do the same to another one.

Lights Out

Looking back in anger, looking back with joy and laughs don't ask me all those questions, cause i don't have the answers now i tried to hold back all my thoughts and all my dreams just to make things better, i was using myself past my means.

But all those days are gone and i can't find the path that i should follow i'm walking unknown land mile after mile i search the way back to my mind and i cannot believe how hard it is to find when i'm down.

I used to make things easy, i used to be a happy guy but now things seem so different, that i can't even play the game i got to try to find the way thru all this now so what i need now, is someone to read the map cause i don't know how.

I feel ashamed and i'm to blame cause i tried to be, i tried to see things from my side and i also bleed, i also need some space it's time to close this case.

INDEX

Entrance at Rudebrook

The joy and the pain, it's all in the game but right now the joy's far away we're gonna take it back to how it was before now so what if we're last, so what if we're gone you're waiting for that day, but i know it won't come we've reached the bottom and now we're just looking forward.

For twelve years i've been down but i'm not whining, i'm still smiling and i'm still around every night.

Every Sunday or Wednesday i'll be there with all the other folks biting those nails and some of us i know that we would die for you and maybe you think it's just cause i have my smartcard but forget that pal, tell you what we're in it and we're in it to win it.

So many hours spent in that building and all the memories divine just a few more seasons, then we'll be back.

INDEX

Lowlife

I don't know what to say, cause i don't feel that good today i don't know what to do, i left my mind in all that glue if i try to think or if i do something about this mess then i will find myself in a situation i can't deal with now my head it start to pound my thoughts are flying around and my body hits the ground.

I can't hear a sound and i feel fine i can see what's wrong i'm alone and strong.

I keep my eyes on you, just to make myself sure i don't know why i care, cause it makes me feel so poor and i must try to leave all this stuff behind me now i feel fine today, but tomorrow, i don't know what i will say cause my head will start to pound and my thoughts will fly around when my body hits the ground.

Then i won't hear a sound and i feel fine i can see what's wrong i'm alone and strong.
