Smile ;-) 02:35
Someone once said to me There are many ways, To put a smile on someone's face, As there's no better place, to be in Than one that has, someone smiling; You can be rich, you can be big, Have 15 servants to poke with sticks, But you can't have what you'll receive When someone smiles at you like this, You can be powerful and strong, Have the whole world admiring you, But it's no good to have the lot, If there's no one to share the pot. Keep that smile on your face! Just keep smiling, Cuz there's no better place and there's no better cure. Keep that smile on your face, and let the rest come, Just keep smiling, cuz it will get to you! Someone once said to me There was no way, To always be happy and keep sane, As once you know you'll get, what you want, You'll start looking for something else, I said: You can be rich, you can be big, Have 15 servants to poke with sticks, But you can't have what you'll receive When someone smiles at you like this, You can be powerful and strong, Have the whole world admiring you, But it's no good to have the lot, If there's no one to share the pot. Keep that smile on your face! Just keep smiling, Cuz there's no better place and there's no better cure. Keep that smile on your face, and let the rest come, Just keep smiling, cuz it will get to you! You can be rich, you can be big, Have 15 servants to poke with sticks, But you can't have what you'll receive When someone smiles at you like this, You can be powerful and strong, Have the whole world admiring you, But it's no good to have the lot, If there's no one to share the pot. Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling! Yeyeah, yeah!

Sunday 03:10
Inside the sun is shining, but outside is raining There's lots of shirts to iron, but I'm playing around My lady's out on a mission and for a while she won't be back I gotta thousand things I should do but I can't be arsed Cuz It's Sunday pa-da-pa-pa (X3) I'm awake but I don't wanna wake up. Age: 27 Sex: Male But I'd rather have sex with females, in fact, just with her. The one who makes me happy, who makes me feel complete Who sometimes goes on missions and leaves me home to chill Cuz when in the sun is shining, but outside is raining The world slows down a bit even though the day goes faster When everyone is sleeping, everyone is dreaming The drops drop, and the world waits for you to wake up. Cuz It's Sunday pa-da-pa-pa (X3) I'm awake but I don't wanna wake up.

It's Ok 02:43
My brother told me once what he wanted to say He wanted to say every night and day But every time he tried to say it loud and clear He failed, though he was so near. He told me he found it hard to explain How he felt inside, what went through his veins, So I sat back and stared at him, and than I thought that I should say It's ok, not to have much to say, it's ok, not to have much to say. X2 My sister came to me to tell me that she'd done, Certain things in a certain way That other people might perceive in a way she could not believe. And when she tried to explain by the end the explanation had become in vain, It doesn't matter in what weather, she could not make it better But it's ok, not to have much to say, it's ok, not to have much to say. And there's no start, and there's no end, what you don't say they don't pretend, But when you think it loud and clear, they will receive it far or near Cuz there's no start, and there's no end, what you don't say they don't pretend, But when you think it loud and clear, they will receive it far or near it's ok, not to have much to say, it's ok, not to have much to say. X2 da da dum da da da dum... Oh there's no start, and there's no end, what you don't say they don't pretend, But when you think it loud and clear, they will receive it far or near It's ok, not to have much to say, it'ok, not to have much to say.

Full of faces, stereotypes, all the colours and the shapes Staring vaguely in a direction crossing someone's recollection of of something only he knows I think Everyone must have a dirty little secret, something that they've never told before Everyone must have a dirty little secret, if theirs is anything like mine they'll take it to their grave. Last time we were talking, and I said I was like any other guy, I was speaking metaphorically, Cuz out of all the metaphors that you could think or see, There isn't really one that could replicate me And I know I speak for me but in reality It's the little things that show individuality Everyone must have a dirty little secret, something that they've never told before Everyone must have a dirty little secret, if theirs is anything like mine they'll take it to their grave. To their Grave,

Believer 03:06
Far too many ways to say the same things over again, Every word you say is like every word you've already said, And as I've heard that love and freedom have been trialled before, I'm gonna play 'til my fingers bleed or someone gets bored, Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer that if I sing someone will hear it, Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer that if I scream someone will come. So I say A you think I said B And I say "look" and you say "there's nothing to see" So it's back to start like with politics Cuz the stuff we need won't come out of magic tricks! Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer that if I sing someone will hear it, Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, But I'm not a retriever so don't treat me like one, I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer that if I sing someone will hear it, Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, But I'm not a retriever so don't treat me like one, Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer that if I sing someone will hear it, Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, But I'm not a retriever so don't treat me like one, Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer that if I sing someone will hear it, Cuz I'm a firm believer, I'm a firm believer, But I'm not a retriever so don't treat me like one,

Scaramouche 03:22
There are too many things, I'd like to say, Far too many words, to say in one day. I've just finished work, it's been a very long day, And now I'm finally home, but you're a long way away. Scaramouche, nun f’o muscio I could do with a tango, Scaramouche, nun f’o muscio, will you do it with me? I've got nothing to hide, just a lot to give. Scaramouche, nun f’o muscio I could do with a tango, Scaramouche, nun f’o muscio, will you do it with me? I've got nothing to hide, it's just you and me! Wake up on Sunday morning, lazy breakfast, Roll up a beautiful joint, and sit back. Chill out at Praa sands, that's what I'll do, On a daily basis, if I was with you; Cuz every day would be a holiday, a long weekend, The sun would always be shining, just like today. Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the Fandango? Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do it with me? I've got nothing to hide, just a lot to give. Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the Fandango? Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do it with me? I've got nothing to hide, it's just you and me! Close your eyes and see, where you want to be, Close your eyes and see, wherever it may be. Scaramouche, nun f’o muscio I could do with a tango…

Butter squashing, gutter moving, yumm butt shaking, rat pack groove, Jazz hat wearing, jeans and black shoes, cheeky easy going dude, Summer Gypsy skirt-type flowing, dark shinned hit-drop-want-one-chick, Ice, Havana Club, lime, sugar, hit me one more time! 'Til you drop! Oh My I love my life too much, Friday to Thursday, 'Til you drop! Oh My hard to believe but true, all worries gone and I've got you! Oh My I love my life too much, Friday to Thursday, 'Til you drop! Oh My hard to believe but true, all worries gone and I've got Summer Gypsy Skirt! Wake up, crispy linen, sun is shinin' smilin' sexy dirty, Trick me into stayin' for another 'til the sun drops down. Sandy feet, a little breeze and just the time for one more dip, Put odd shoes and worn white socks then off it starts again. 'Til you drop! Oh My I love my life too much, Friday to Thursday, 'Til you drop! Oh My hard to believe but true, all worries gone and I've got you! Oh My I love my life too much, Friday to Thursday, 'Til you drop! Oh My hard to believe but true, all worries gone and I've got Summer Gypsy Skirt! Money-wearing-high-life-stylish-lamborghini smoking ladies, Or would you rather have a better easier simpler rat pack groove. 'Til you drop! Oh My I love my life too much, Friday to Thursday, 'Til you drop! Oh My hard to believe but true, all worries gone and I've got you! Oh My I love my life too much, Friday to Thursday, 'Til you drop! Oh My hard to believe but true, all worries gone and I've got Summer Gypsy Skirt!

Coffe Skin 03:23
I can hardly see what is coming in front of me I guess insomnia has finally taken its toll But in a real strange way I'm happy, satisfied I'm doing what I want so I guess it must be right. Cuz I feel happy, happy, satisfied, Got bags under my eyes, But I feel happy, I feel fine, And nothing can stop me now, no no Lighting a cigarette now would not be right Cuz all the smoke rising would get to my mind And I don't feel ashamed to say it What I thought before was wrong and I didn't know it till now. I'M CRAVIN' chocolate, dark, smooth, sweet & bitter Just like your coffee skin, I know you wanna sin And I feel happy, happy, satisfied, Got bags under my eyes, but I feel happy, I feel fine, And nothing can stop me now, no no I could believe in miracles I could believe in god That someone heard my crave for you I could have missed you easily tripped over in the dark Just like your coffee skin, I know you wanna sin And I feel happy, happy, satisfied, Got bags under my eyes, I feel happy, I feel fine, And nothing can stop me now

Apple Tree 03:14
If all apples fell from the same tree, they wouldn't be much fun to eat, and if you weren't so tasty, I'd sell my taste buds on e-bay. But luckily nature's been so kind to share the goods amongst the group, and even though it's to share and free, this time I will keep you for me! If I had a million dollars I think I’d change it into euros, help towards a better cause then keep a little For me, (for me for me) for for me (for me, for me), so I could grow a new apple tree, for you, me and my apple tree. My apple tree, for you and me, my apple tree. If I could change one thing I'd go, and put back the law 11110! I'd have a united world note, the money is ours, we deserve a go! So when we run towards the sun, go the places I wanna go, I can feel free as what I deserve is living with the bank reserves. I think I'm working hard enough to avoid a future that just says tough, cuz what I do is there for me, I can't be owned by power trips! Because, this is, for you and me. Because, I want, my apple tree. Make apple crumble, the hell with banana cakes, Cuz with this weather bananas only grow in my head For you, me and my apple tree, my apple tree, my apple tree, with SIMEC leaves, my apple tree. My apple tree, for you and me, my apple tree, for you and me, for you and me, for me, my apple tree, for you and me, with SIMEC leaves...

Opened my eyes hungover to hell, The blinds were closed and it was like 12, Only one thing that went through my head, Only one thing between alive and dead, Only one step from inner peace to hell, Cheese and beans, Cheese and Beans With chili sauce, but not any chili sauce, Caribbean Habanero chili sauce! Opened the can, put the beans on the hob, And put a timer don't bed a knob, Cuz what you do you've gotta do it right It's like a new religion… You've gotta give it all you've got I know it's tough when you feel this rough, But when the smell fills up the room, You know it was worth it, You know you're worth it, just like your hair... Cheese and beans, Cheese and Beans With chili sauce, but not any chili sauce, Caribbean Habanero chili sauce! It was a mission! But I had ammunition, I feared defeat! But I got my treat, My cheese & beans, with chili sauce, I cannot feel my tongue any more, But I'm so happy that my headache's gone, I cannot feel my tongue any more, But I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven Cheese and beans, Cheese and Beans With chili sauce, but not any chili sauce, Caribbean Habanero chili sauce, Not any chili sauce, but I'm in heaven, I'm in Heaven Cheese & beans…

Here goes the alarm, I think it's a sunny day Gonna stay in bed 'til it's too late A piece of toast overcooked again And margarine instead of butter But I know it'll work out, I got it sussed out Not gonna stress out Gonna let it happen, flow, gonna let it happen Let it come to me Here goes the alarm, I think it's raining Gonna stay in bed, cuz who would wanna get up And I forgot on Tuesday's I walk the dog And if it wasn't enough the bin men are coming But I know it'll work out, I got it sussed out Not gonna stress out Gonna let it happen, flow, gonna let it happen Let it come to me
