S-Group 03:21
Mega sized food, super soft paper always on discount so you can buy them later Extra small speakers, portable media they don’t want you to feel it at all Supporters of the welfare state alcohol for sale on every Sunday Interested of the underclass trading meal tickets for a whisky glass S-Group killed my mother wait a second and they kill yours too S-Group killed my father wait too long and they bury you They don’t shy away from sin because you buy and it’s their win And don’t you run away from them the other is waiting and it wants your skin Company bosses faces are grinning but hey at least someone is winning Election funding, bribes, retirement pension and remember they don’t care at all S-Group killed my mother wait a second and they kill yours too S-Group killed my father wait too long and they bury you They don’t shy away from sin because you buy and it’s their win And don’t you run away from them the other is waiting and it wants your skin

One Chair 03:34
There is only one chair and there is only one chair for me And how do you know it’s for me well there’s a sign it’s for the lonely And how do I get past this well take a stand and give me your baskets half of love and half of all that’s past this Come on take me with you and teach me how to do Come on take me with you and teach me how to do Your sweet sweet love like a drug for me and you Your sweet sweet love too hard for me and you So now we’re happy together but there’s one thing you could do just try to be your own self and try to see what’s in your shelf If there’s only shadows from the bad past Bury them up with new ones so you don’t have to be all by yourself There is only one chair and there is only one chair for me And how do you know it’s for me (and how do you know it’s for me) Now there’s a sign it’s for me only

It takes a lot medicine to keep up, up this pace I haven’t slept, I haven’t slept in eight whole days Two of them were quite dark I could hear the hound dogs bark Three days I tried to find my medicine all I got was two bottles of gin One day went by shakin’ and smokin’ I didn’t do a lot talking And yesterday I had to work, oh god did it hurt It did hurt Someone whispered to my ear Shelter, it is near Tonight I’m sitting here all alone thinking Thinking what should I do, I don’t want to sleep at all I woke up early in the morning had this crazy dream last night I was at home all alone drinking my favourite alcohol Heard some noise coming outside hound dogs barking in the night Then I realized, this is not a dream at all This is not a dream at all Someone whispered to my ear Shelter, it is here

I don’t know but I’ve been told, redheaded women ain’t got no soul Well I wanted to know why is that and someone gave me a red striped hat He said he wanted the hat back tomorrow but keep in mind it’s just for borrow And everyone who’s ever had that hat has hesitated to give it back Redheaded woman came talk to me and asked me about that hat Well I didn’t know what to say so I just ran away And those dark green eyes haunt me tonight And these soft blue eyes stare at me at night Nothing really here to see, black curtains and a white tree Nothing really here to feel, just a shadow from the field The man ringed the bell in the morning but I didn’t want to wake up He was really anxious to see what the hat had brought to me When I finally opened the door he stand there with a wedding bell He wanted the hat right back and ringed the bell for me to look at Now really isn’t a good time as I don’t know where the hat is at The green-eyed lady that must be it, I said to him He wasn’t happy to hear my story and left my door with a hurry And those dark green eyes haunt me tonight And these soft blue eyes stare at me at night Nothing really here to see, black curtains and a white tree Nothing really here to feel, just a shadow from the field Well I wanted to know and now I’ve seen redheaded woman with the eyes of green I do not know where she is at but I do know she’s not coming back

I woke up early one morning I was feeling half past dead Sun was shining to my eye and I just laid my head I looked at the time from the radio it was already noon I checked my phone, was amazed, there were ten messages And they all said the same, hey boy you better watch out or you’re gonna be dead someday Hey boy you better watch out, some day soon What the hell I thought to myself but then I remembered I made a deal and I got the money too, for you You better watch out when you want for money ‘cos it ain’t always good I don’t wanna live my life for nothing I wanna help my friends too But now and then the devil takes over me and he does bad things to you

I met a girl who cures all illness She knows no hatred but only wellness She does no one wrong for she knows no sin She helps to find me for she knows where I’ve been This woman goes by many names But her most renowned is Mary Jane I let her in and she won’t complain She fills me up and relieves my pain So if you want to feel like me Just let her in and you will see She’ll take your guilt and she’ll take your sorrow And you will awake for a better tomorrow This woman goes by many names But her most renowned is Mary Jane I let her in and she won’t complain She fills me up and relieves my pain

Funhouse 03:23
It’s a funhouse It’s a playground But I am bored I am ignored A B C one two three I know that you can’t teach me I want to see I want to be D E F ‘cos I can feel Spirit left me Funhouse fed me Music shed me Funhouse kept me It’s all right it’s the funhouse babe I ain’t all right I’m gonna freak out mama Fixing to die for Fixing to fight for Nothing to live for Nothing to give for Will she feed me Will she keep me When I am down Down to the ground Spirit left me Funhouse fed me Music shed me Funhouse kept me It’s all right it’s the funhouse babe I ain’t all right I’m gonna freak out mama

The Escape 05:40
I feel mad every night That is why I can’t decide I’m lost and you know where The man holds me here Should he travel to the night with only cufflinks by his side Should he leave this awful place, head to freedom it’s not too late Is it the art of thinking To know where you are going Outside this box To the night with only cufflinks by my side Now he runs through the gates, guards try to follow but it’s too late Now he travels in the night with a sight of freedom in his eyes Yes I’m a sinner but that ain’t all I was a lawyer to help them all But now I’m free and I’m going to chance Maybe I’ll buy a boat and sail away
