DOG DAY AFTERNOON
(Kiesbye/Norberg/Olsson/Gäfvert)I’m sitting here in the desert
One thousand miles from home
Got a job at the station
I’ve never been so alone
It seemed such a nice place
But no one ever told me
The only traffic passing through this state equals
One car a weekI don’t know why I stay here any longer
I must be outta my mind
I’m counting all my fingers and my toes
Just to kill some time
Aaahaa
Another day at the station
I’m sitting here all alone
I’m counting the days and my toes again
On this dogday afternoon
I’ve been here for some time now
I can’t even get laid
The coke machine’s been empty
Since way back when
I’m eating dust for breakfast
And for my dinner too
I would do almost anything
For a chicken vindaloo
I don’t know why I stay here any longer…
Another day in the desert
I’m sitting here all alone…
TOO MUCH TROUBLE
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I’ve been laying low for a couple of weeks
The weather is better and my body is healed
I’m in heat I am so tense
Even the city smell good after rain
You know I try and I try and I try
To have the time of my life
But every time it seems I’m on my way up
I always take a dive I’m always falling down
Too much trouble now
Too much trouble around…
Here I am back on my feet again
All is forgiven and my crimes are paid
What keeps me going is holding me down
I’ve been knocked to the ground but I still get around
You know I try and I try and I try…
Too much trouble now
Too much trouble around…
The way I am I will remain
I’m wide awake here I go again
My genetic memory’s not clean
You know it makes me cruel you know it makes me mean
You know I try and I try and I try…
Too much trouble now
Too much trouble around…
SO MUCH TIME, SO LITTLE TO DO
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I’m not wasting any time
’cause I don’t know what to do
I don’t know where to go
I haven’t got a clue I’ve got no plans I don’t know what to do
But I don’t care is that a problem for you
I’ve got so much time so little to do…
I don’t have too many dreams
I like when things are slow
My life is good enough
I just love doing nothing at all
I’ve got no plans I don’t know what to do
But I don’t care is that a problem for you
I’ve got so much time so little to do…
I’ve got no plans…
I haven’t done that much
But I don’t really care
I’ve got all I need
Don’t wanna go anywhere
I’ve got no plans…
I’ve got so much time so little to do…
I’m Bugged
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I’m wide awake (can’t go to sleep)
I know they always (watchin’ me)
They’re after me (all the time)
I know they are ’cause (I’m not blind)
I’m bugged
I’m bugged
I’m bugged
They read my letters (tap my phone)
They’re takin’ pictures (of my dog)
They’re after me (all the time)
I know they are man (I’m not blind)
I’m bugged
I’m bugged
I’m bugged
SOLO
I’m wide awake…
I’m bugged
I’m bugged
I’m bugged
NOTHING HURTS
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
You can be my friend or my enemy (I’m not here at all)
You can say you like or lie about me (I’m not here at all)
Blow hot or cold it doesn’t matter (I’m not here at all)
You can’t touch me now ’cause I’m way ahead (I’m not here at all)
Nothing can hurt me anymore
No nothing can hurt me anymore
You can be as bad as bad can be (I’m not here at all)
It’s a war to you but a game to me (I’m not here at all)
Nothing can hurt me anymore
No nothing can hurt me anymore’cause I feel nothing at all about
I feel nothing at all about
I feel nothing at all about you
’cause I feel nothing at all about
I feel nothing at all about
I feel nothing at all about you
Don’t talk to me I won’t reply (I’m not here at all)
’cause I owe you nothing and you should know why (I’m not here at all)
Nothing can hurt me anymore
Nothing can hurt me anymore
’cause I feel nothing at all about
I feel nothing at all about
I feel nothing at all about you
’cause I feel nothing at all about
I feel nothing at all about
I feel nothing at all about you
BURN OUT
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
It’s early in the morning or late at night time to face another day
Mind says up your body says no!
You can’t get out of your bed
There’s a thousand ways to go from here none of them is right
So go back to sleep an hour or two
It’s there when you wake up
You’re so hard to please, you’d better slow down
You don’t know what you want
And money don’t make no sound
BURN OUT BURN OUT!
You ain’t got what it takes…
You say you’re not a loser
You think you’ve got it made
But when I look into your eyes there’s nothing looking back
You’re so hard to please…
BURN OUT BURN OUT!
You ain’t got what it takes…
Oh no…
It’s so hard to be someone when you ain’t got nothing to say
You’ve got an urge inside that just won’t go away
Big cities make you bitter small towns make you sick
You waste your money on gadgets and toys
It doesn’t help a bit
You’re so hard to please…
BURN OUT BURN OUT!
You ain’t got what it takes…

Let me tell you ’bout Sonny from my neighborhood
He was always clever and everything he did was good
Everybody thought that he was gonna turn out fine
But they never knew what poor Sonny did at night yeah
Sonny is a bad guy now
Sonny is a bad guy now
You can say what you want but it’s better if you don’t
’cause Sonny is a bad guy now
Daytime kosher at night he left his heart behind
So many things going on in his mind
Supersonic Paulie always tried to call him at home
Wheeling and dealing their way to the twilight zone yeah
Sonny is a bad guy now…
Heard the news ’bout Sonny from my neighborhood?
I can’t tell you more I wish I could
Someone said he saw him just the other day
It could have been him but you know it’s really hard to say yeah
Sonny is a bad guy now…
EVEN AS WE SPEAK
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I guess I know that I got too close this time
I could see my reflection in your eyes
Even as we speak (I don’t know what to say)
Even as we speak (I don’t know what to do)
Even as we speak (I don’t know what to say)
Even as we speak
No! I woke up and I saw the ball and chain
I could feel it was coming to and end
Even as we speak (I don’t know what to say)
Even as we speak (I don’t know what to do)
Even as we speak (I don’t know what to say)
Even as we speak I’m sleeping off the pain
But I’m not fast enough
And on a bed of nails
And I can’t get up I found the truth in a middle of a lie
It’s all there so much more than meets the eye
Even as we speak (I don’t know what to say)
Even as we speak (I don’t know what to do)…
HEY YOU!
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I will tell you how it’s gonna be
She can’t come she belongs to me

FIND THE TIME
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I can’t find the time to lose my mind
I can’t find the time to act real wild
I can’t find the time to go out of control
I can’t find no time at all
I can’t find the time to find myself
I can’t find the time for anybody else
I can’t find the time I’ve got things to do
I can’t find no time for you
But when I do
When I do
When I do
I’m gonna do it alright
I can’t find the time I’m hard to please
I can’t find the time I need to satisfy me
I can’t find the time to start things up
I can’t find no time for me<
But when I do
When I do
When I do
I’m gonna do it alright
You know that song that says every dog has his day
Well here’s one of those dogs waiting in the rain
I can’t find the time to lose my mind
I can’t find the time to act real wild
I can’t find the time to go out of control
I can’t find no time at all
But when I do
When I do
When I do
I’m gonna do it alright
Do it alright
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
What do you want? I’m waiting for your secrets to unfold
What do you want? I’m trying hard but I am never sure
What do you want? I’ll never know if I am never told
What do you want I don’t know what you’re trying to say
And I can’t seem to figure it out on my own
If I really need to know
What do you want? I’m gonna turn my back on you and walk away
What do you want? I’m a normal guy I love pleasure more than pain
What do you want? I don’t wanna burn I’d rather fade away
What do you want? Can someone tell me what it’s all about
’cause I can’t seem to figure it out on my own
And I really need to know
What do you want?…
What do you want? I don’t understand you and I don’t have time to wait
What do you want? So I close my eyes and I’m a million miles away
What do you want? I’m gonna take a real good look inside myself
What do you want? I don’t know what you want from me
And I can’t seem to figure it out on my own
Do I really need to know yeah
What do you want?…
ASK THE SHADOWS
(Kiesbye/Norberg/Bartell)
Ask the shadows now
A silhouette of dark regret that’s downcast by the sun
Ask the shadows now
It can not veil the essence of what’s burning out if sight
But I don’t wanna meet you
Meet you half way down
And you don’t wanna see me half way down
Ask the shadows now
A blackened stain of some remaining thoughts and nothing more
Ask the shadows now
They all reflects my losing all the things I felt before
But I don’t wanna meet you
Meet you half way down
And you don’t wanna see me half way down
No I don’t wanna see you
See you half way down
And you don’t wanna see me half way down
So I don’t try ’cause I won’t lie
And I can’t be found ’cause I won’t be around
Ask the shadows now
Drive me to distraction send some shivers down my spine
Ask the shadows now
I have no need it will recede I’m giving up this one
And I don’t wanna keep you
Keep you half way down
And you don’t wanna keep me half way down
No I don’t wanna see you
see you half way down
And you don’t wanna see me half way down
So I don’t try ’cause I won’t lie
And I can’t be found ’cause I won’t be around…
THIS SIDE OF NOWHERE
(Kiesbye/Norberg/Bartell/Escovedo)
This side of nowhere
This side of bring me down
You’re wasting your time ’cause I’m gone and you keep hanging around
And if you can’t
get up and walk away
Call it quits
Don’t waste another day
I see you walking down my street
Places that we used to meet
such a drag your heart still beats for me
This side of nowhere
This side of bring me down
You’re wasting your time ’cause I’m gone and you keep hanging around
’cause If you can’t give up and let it go
Move along
I guess you’ll never know
I see you walking down my street
Places that we used to meet
such a drag your heart still beats for me
Ever wonder where everything went wrong?
Everything has just come undone
You can’t hold on
This side of nowhere
This side of bring me down
You’re wasting your time ’cause I’m gone and you keep hanging
This side of nowhere
This side of bring me down
You’re wasting your time ’cause I’m gone and you keep hanging around
SMOKE SCREEN
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
She’s a fake, she’s a lie
She’s got class, she’s got style
And she needs some attention tonight
She’s the sun in her world, She’s a smart little girl
But she don’t want you to find out
Ooh-It’s just a smoke screen
Ooh-That’s all you’ve seen
Ooh-A smoke screen
She’s so hard so hard to reach
She loves to be seen in a chic magazine
And she lives in a world of her own
She’ll get tense and uptight she’s lost without the lights
And she’s so scared of being alone (She don’t wanna be left alone)
Ooh-It’s just a smoke screen
Ooh-That’s all you’ve seen
Ooh-A smoke screen
She’s so hard so hard to reach
There’s a lot on her mind, she’s like three of a kind
But she’s losing herself in a lie
When you break that seal, It will all be revealed
But I don’t think you’ll like what you’ll find
Ooh-It’s just a smoke screen
Ooh-That’s all you’ve seen
Ooh-A smoke screen
She’s so hard so hard to reach
TIME AND DISTANCE
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
What is broken can be fixed they say
But I don’t think it really works that way
And I don’t need another lesson learned
When you get too close you know that you’re gonna get burned
I don’t think you’ve seen the best of me
You say I always shake the hand that feeds
I’m out of here there’s nothing you can do
’cause I feel like a drowning fly in a rich man’s soup
It’s gonna take time and distance
Lies, denial and resistance
Time and distance
I need all the assistance I can find
To get it off my mind
I don’t wanna see the bitter end
I just don’t have that much time to spend
I can’t stay life is too short
I’m still going somewhere and you’re not
It’s gonna take time and distance
Lies, denial and resistance
Time and distance
I need all the assistance I can find
To get it off my mind
I’ve seen the empire fall like a rotten fruit.
I’m outta here it’s time for new recruits
And I don’t need another lesson learned
When you get that close you know that you’re gonna get burned
It’s gonna take time and distance
Lies, denial and resistance
Time and distance
I need all the assistance I can…
Time and distance
Lies, denial and resistance
Time and distance
I need all the existence I can find
To get it off my mind
DANCE TO THE ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I was swinging around doing the pogo

I said come on baby do you wanna dance?
She said no, you can’t
Dance to the Rocket from the crypt

WORLD KEEPS TURNING
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
You’re waiting in your corner
For another round with death
He punched you in the stomach
And now you’re looking for your breath
So you decide the actions?
You’re the player not the ball
No you’re driving in the backseat
With no control at all
That’s the way it is
The world keeps turning (World keeps turning)…
That’s the way it is
The world keeps turning (World keeps turning)…
You know everybody’s hurting
You’re not the only one
You’re running like crazy
But you’re still outrun
That’s the way it is
The world keeps turning (World keeps turning)…
That’s the way it is
The world keeps turning (World keeps turning)…
You know
You know it all goes on without you
You know
You know the sun will shine without you
You can break the mirror
But you’ll still look just the same
You can shout it out forever
It doesn’t shift the blame
So get your act together
What choices will you make
You’re the servant not the master
And life don’t take a break
That’s the way it is
The world keeps turning (World keeps turning)…
That’s the way it is
The world keeps turning (World keeps turning)…
You know
You know it all goes on without you
You know
You know the sun will shine without you
It all goes on without you yeah…
IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
Gimme everything I want
Gimme everything you’ve got
Gimme more than I can hold
Gimme – I’m coming back for more
Break down the beautiful
Rip up the sad
Everyone’s for sale
Gimme more than I can handle
Gimme gimme more than ever, yeah
Let’s buy the Whitehouse
and paint it black
Everything’s for sale
If you could see me now
If you could see me now…
Gimme everything I want…
I love money
but I hate the rich
and I can pay for my sins
If you could see me now
If you could see me now…
Break down the beautiful
Rip up the sad
Everyone’s for sale
If you could see me now
If you could see me now…
RUB IT IN
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
You always tell me that I can’t do that
That I’m too slow too fast too thin or fat
And I will never get us out of here
This thing I do won’t get us anywhere
Rub it in, Rub it in
Yeah I really need to know
Rub it in, Rub it in
Why don’t you tell me again
I don’t know what you expect from me
And I don’t get who I’m supposed to be
I’m at the bottom and you let me know
You think I’m trash and you let it show
Rub it in, Rub it in
I’m not good enough
Rub it in, Rub it in
Why don’t you tell me again
Lost my way lost my head
Riding on the nowhere train
You said my crappy band will never last
We’re going nowhere and we’re going fast
Stuck in the basement making too much noise
I’ve gotta stop hanging with the boys
Rub it in, Rub it in
I just don’t make the grade
Rub it in, Rub it in
Better tell tell me again
Rub it in, Rub it in
Ouch that hurts
Rub it in, Rub it in
Yeah I know I’m just dirt
YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG
(Kiesbye/Norberg/Gäfvert/Olsson)
I’ve got something hanging over my head
My mouth betrayed me yesterday
Don’t believe everything I say
Words are bullets and I shot myself
Aaaah…You got it all wrong
Aaaah…You got it all wrong
Can we forget that conversation
I made it all up just to get a reaction
It doesn’t matter what I said to you
Being right you still can lose
Aaaah…You got it all wrong
Aaaah…You got it all wrong…
But I said to you what I said to you and there’s nothing we can do
There’s no way that I could make it up to you
Said is said done is done and nothing matters now
There’s no way that I could set things right again no!
All alone in the middle of a crowd
A little too much and a little too loud
But I don’t need to apologise
’cause I don’t lie
No I don’t lie… that much!
Aaaah…You got it all wrong…
ALL UP TO YOU
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I would read between the lines
If there were lines to read between
I would learn my lesson twice
If there was something there for me
But it’s all up to you (I’m always right here)
All up to you (What can you do?)
All up to you (Always right here)
All up to you
I’m slightly out of touch
My hands can’t feel the grip
I’ve come a long long way now
From the boy I used to be
But it’s all up to you (I’m always right here)
All up to you (What can you do?)
All up to you (Always right here)
All up to you
Don’t look me in the eye
Don’t look me in the eye
The day snapped back so hard
I’ve learned the hardest way
It’s all so brittle now
So easily swept away
But it’s all up to you (I’m always right here)
All up to you (What can you do?)
All up to you (Always right here)
All up to you
Don’t look me in the eye
Don’t look me in the eye
Don’t look me in the eye
Don’t look me in the eye
LOVE ALL, SERVE ALL
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
Alright, come on, you’d better run not walk
I’m here, right now, I know just what you want
Go on, don’t stop, you ain’t got no time to waste
Don’t wait, not now, come on over and don’t be late (Before it’s too late?)
Love all, serve all…
Come and get it now!
It’s good, it’s great, king size of everything
I know, you now, one look is all you need
Look good, be bad, it’ll get you what you want
Just try, one bite, then you’ll want even more
Love all, serve all…
Come and get it now!
Get up, be fast, and don’t be left behind
We’re here, so close, but still so out of touch
Don’t wait, too long, you’ll soon be dead and gone
Don’t miss, your chance, that’s all you need to know
Love all, serve all…
Come and get it now!
A SONG TO YOU
(Kiesbye/Norberg)
I tried to write a song to you but all the words got stuck
A simple song with simple words something to cheer you up
I tried so hard
I really did
Worked for hours without luck
I tried to write a song to you but all the words got stuck
I tried to write a song to you but all the words got stuck
A simple song with simple words something to cheer you up
I tried so hard
I really did
Worked for hours without luck
I tried to write a song to you and this is all I’ve got
It’s my song song to you
It’s my song song to you
It’s my song song to you
ABOUT EVA
(Bartell/Kiesbye/Norberg)
There is something wild about Eva
The way she’s inclined to deceive
a boy and let him fall in and out of love
There’s something sad making her mad from up above
With a flick and trace of lipstick everyday
Making up so altruistic anyway
Painting her style onto canvas made in Spain
A brand new face of a star was born so plain
There’s something wild about Eva
Spaghetti boys need her
But she’s moving on
There is something wild about Eva
The way she’s inclined to deceive
a boy and let him fall in and out of love
There’s something sad making her mad from up above
Making her plans for a weekend romance
Driving disposed of boys insane with a glance
There’s something wild about Eva
Spaghetti boys need her
But she’s moving on
There is something wild about Eva
The way she’s inclined to deceive
a boy and let him fall in and out of love
