1.Let Your Body Decide
作詞:Martina Axen, Mikael Bjorn Ingel Jepsson, Lars Henrik
Ljungberg, Rosengardten Lundgren, Ola Rolf Anders Svensson
Words, come to me so easily
They make me forget what I mean
Seem so very unsound
When I don't want them around
Let your body decide where you want to go
Let your body decide where you want to go
High or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go
High or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go
High or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go
High or low, fast or slow
I don't know if I'm ready
But everything must be unsteady
On the first go-round
Thoughts, is it right to feel this way?
Will I be happy one day?
Is my posture okay?
Am I straight or gay?
Let your body decide where you want to go
Let your body decide where you want to go
High or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go
High or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go
High or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go
High or low, fast or slow
I don't know if I'm ready
But everything must be unsteady
On the first go-round
2.It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane
Whatever happened to the funky race?
A generation lost in pace
Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss, I'll change your bore for my bliss
But let go of my hand
And it will slip out in the sand
If you don't give me the chance
To break down the walls of attitude
I ask nothing of you not even your gratitude
And if you think I'm corny
Then it will not make me sorry
It's your right to laugh at me
And in turn, that's my opportunity
To feel brave
Because ridicule is no shame
It's just a way to eclipse hate
It's just a way to put my back straight
It's just a way to remain sane
Every morning I would see her
Getting off the bus, the picture never drops
It's like a multicolored snapshot stuck in my brain
It kept me sane for a couple of years
As it drenched my fears of becoming like the others
Who become unhappy mothers
And fathers of unhappy kids
And why is that?
'Cause they've forgotten how to play
Or maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
To seem strange, to seem insane
To gain weight, to seem gay
I tell you this
That it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
(Oh, take it to the stage)
So, take it to the stage
In a multicolored jacket
Take it jackpot, crackpot
Strutting like a peacock
Nail varnish Arkansas
Shimmy shammy featherboah
Crackpot haircut
Dye your hair in glowing red and blue
Do, do, do what you wanna do, don't think twice
Do what you have to do
Do, do, do, do, let your heart decide
What you have to do that's all there is to find
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
Oh, it takes a fool
3.Echo Chamber
(Echo)
No
Have you heard the word no, no, no?
I thought so
'Cause everybody says yes
Everywhere you go
You know
If you always must know what's right
You will end up
You will end up among the ones
Who are always wrong
Remember a star that shone so bright
But now his glare fills me with fright
And now I actually fear
That something's gone wrong with your ears
I'm singing
Step out, step out of your
Echo chamber
Step out, step out of your
Echo chamber
Before it is too late
(Late)
Before it is too late
(Late)
Before it is too late
'Cause I miss you so
You
You always stayed among the ones
Not so strong
Too eager to belong
To object when you are wrong
When
When will you get sick of listening to repeats
Of what you have said?
You better listen instead
To folks who think with their own head
I never want to be your foe
I just want to say I miss you so
How long will you stay in there?
I just wish that you could hear me singing
4.Joy Surrender
I was born to start a revolution
It would be my contribution
To a worldwide resurrection
I was born to start a million fires
The joy of men's desires
Was laid in my hand
But I was born a weak and worried thinker
With an eagerness to know myself
That throws it all away
'Cause all I can think of is love
And Saturday
And how the golden road can seize to glare
Oh man, what if I just don't give a damn?
How wonderful
But after all the worst can't be that bad
Oh, man
What if I knew how to say
Stop, no, let go?
Oh, the angel headed demon's tongue
Who thought he knew
Why some mirrors crack so easily
Now, he ain't got a clue
And every now and then
It seems to me it's come to this
That promises and prophecies
Was all I had to give
'Cause all I can think of is love
Oh, love
But after all the worst
Can't be that bad
Oh man
Seems like a joy surrender
5.One Of Us Is Gonna Die Young
I wanna hold you but you're out of reach
Somewhere searching for your inner peace
I'm just looking for a little squeeze
Face to face and cheek to cheek
It's in your blood but not in mine
What's in your blood is in my mind
Something's broken in the way we smile
It is within us all the time
You're well aquainted with the So-o-o-Ho
And all the ”Ello” and ”Ow are 'u?”
And we both have to get it on before the summer's gone
We got a hurry and a worry to get done today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
Let's put our money where our mouth is and get out today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young
Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young
That's right
Aah, aah, aah, aah
And don't you take this the wrong way
I'm not looking for a way to replace
What love can give
Cause you can't do that!
I'm only saying that where I come from
People find it very fashionable
To burn like a flame, never get tame
Grown-up and lame Yeah! Yeah!
You're looking beat but you say: ”no, oh, no, no
I'm all messed up and I'm ready to go!
We ain't gonna go it alone no more
So let's get on with the show…”
There's a lot to be said and to be done today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
Before they put us in a coffin I've got things to say
One of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young
Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young
And there's a lot to be said and to be done today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
We'll go shim-shim shammey and
Get whimsy and get whammy
'Cause one of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
6.Clamour For Glamour
People here in your neighbourhood
Act real cool but they dance no good
I don't care what the others say
When I've found a new game to play
Claim to fame
Clamour for glamour
Oh padeo oh pa padeo
Claim to fame
Clamour for glamour
Oh padeo oh pa padeo
So come and get it
Get it good
Like I knew you would
People here in your neighbourhood
Act real cool but they dance no good
I don't care but I've been told
That all those people ain't got no soul
I kick them where the sun don't shine
And take you down to my side of town
I don't care what the others say
When I've found a new game to play
Claim to fame
Clamour for glamour
Oh padeo oh pa padeo
Claim to fame
Clamour for glamour
Oh padeo oh pa padeo x3
7.Trust Is Shareware
For all your life
You've cared about
People you don't really care about
You've heard them shout
And you've heard them out
Now what's that all about?
And all the world's a United Nations
Of faceless scorn and starvation
The friend you need is a friendly invasion
With no 'what's in it for me?'
Saturday! And all that is flashing
For the velvet cause of lonely trolls
Getaway! Nobody's asking you to stay put
Still you vapourize and try to hide it
Now I wanna hear you shout it:
I don't want the trust that can be bought
My kind of trust is shareware
I don't want the trust that can be bought
My kind of trust is shareware
My kind of trust is shareware
My kind of trust is shareware, baby!
Now you don't know me but you may have seen
Me rocking the rules of estethic hygiene
My talk is dirty but my boots are clean
Now ain't that worth a scream?
You can leave your money and your telephone
Let's go and see if our friends are home
We'll cast long shadows from dusk 'til dawn
Until we're all alone...
Saturday! And all that is flashin'
For the velvet cause of lonely trolls
Any day, I hear you saying
They've filled us up with
TV-lies and tranquilizers,
Man! I should have realized that
I don't want the trust that can be bought
My kind of trust is shareware
I don't want the trust that can be bought
My kind of trust is shareware
My kind of trust is shareware
My kind of trust is a shy kind of trust but the right kind of
trust is shareware
Oh I don't want the trust
Oh I don't want the trust
Oooh oh oh...
Oh I don't want the trust
Oh I don't want the trust
Oooh oh oh...
(Oh I don't want the trust that can be bought so so
Yes I know that I don't want the trust that can be bought)
(...)
(Don't want the, don't want the, don't want the, don't want the
oh)
(...)
8.Deliver Us From Free Will
Ooh, I was a lonely cloud
I was a leaf that had to fall to the ground
I was coloured red by the oceanic time
I went down, down so sublime-sublime
Can they explain why it hurts in our brains?
(With my landslide companion)
Why we all yearn for some biblical disaster?
(Rocks and Bones!)
Me and the cannibal's voluntary prey
(A cannibal...)
Ain't looking for a friend, we are looking for a Master
(Or anyone who can...)
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us now!
I'm talking to you
Ooh, I was a Jabba the Hut slut
Cut to the next frame, do it again
I was a B-flat conqueror, cat to comb
With all the no-no-no of nursery bones
Say can you see who will sleep well at night
(Are you sleeping?)
In a world that's a-flame and is changing much faster
(A-changing, a-changing)
Give us a reason to fall to the ground
(A miracle!)
Or give us the drugs so we all can get plastered forever...
Forever!
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Don't wanna know what tomorrow will bring
I need a thing I can hold on and cling to forever... Forever!
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us now!
(Ah do it to me)
Oooh ooooh
9.Prayer For The Weekend
Ooooh oooooh oooooh...
Come, baby
It's time to pray
Come it's time to pray for the weekend, babe
Come it's time to jump in at the deep end, babe
It opens up its jaws it's panting like a hound
So, we'll pick the fleurs du mal and we'll bind it a crown
(Pray!)
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
It hovers like an eagle, it's growling like a beast
Demanding our sacrifice, but offering a feast
It's calling out for blood and we must quench its thirst
The night is calling all it's dusky children back to work
(But first... Pray!)
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, ooh, oooh...
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, make your claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, let's pray that the weekend will thrill us, babe
Ooh, let's pray that the weekend won't kill us, babe
Hooray!
10.Absolutely No Decorum
Thank God I was born in a time when something new was about to
start
Been shut down I've been kicked around, now there's an A-bomb in
my heart
And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while
I'm alive
So hang on and we'll turn up the sound of all the anger in our
hearts
'Cause right now under this fevering moon I wanna take you for a
ride
To the reasons you need, be it hunger or greed
It's okay
Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
And absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
So absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
And I know that the times are rough, but I won't play dead while
I'm alive
For I long for the shock and the awe of speaking plainly from my
mind
But I know there's a place downtown where they say there's a
bug-free zone
So let's go, let's head out tonight and let the words in our
minds spill out
'Cause right now under this fevering moon I wanna take you for a
ride
To the reasons you need, be it hunger or greed, it's all
And a little bit more as we come alive again
Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
And absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
It's only ripples in the sand
It's only ripples in the sand
It's only ripples in the sand
11.The Worrying Kind
Moves, I like to make 'em
Grooves, I like to shake 'em
Shake 'em from my troublesome mind
'Cause sometimes you'll find
That I'm out of my mind
You see baby, I'm the worrying kind
Words, I like to break 'em
Words I'd like to shake 'em
Shake 'em from my troublesome mind
And you turn up your nose
It's a joke you suppose
But baby, I'm the worrying kind
So if you see me somewhere
With that glassy ol' stare
And the panic and fear in my eyes
Don't call for first aid or the fire brigade
Or the local police 'cause they won't care
I'm just a silly old boy with my head in the can
I'm just a mortal with potential of a superman
But what sense does it make
When I feel like a fake
When I'm saying to you all be good for goodness sake?
Words, I like to break 'em
Words I'd like to shake 'em
Shake 'em from my troublesome mind
And why? Heaven knows
It's a joke I suppose
But baby, I'm the worryin' kind
So if you see me somewhere
With that glassy ol' stare
And the panic and fear in my eyes
Don't call for first aid or the fire brigade
Or the local police 'cause they won't care
I'm just silly old boy with my head in the can
I'm just a mortal with potential of a superman
But what sense does it make
When I feel like a fake
When I'm saying to you all be good for goodness sake?
Ooh! Words, I like to break 'em
Words I'd like to shake 'em
Shake 'em from my troublesome mind
And why? Heaven knows
It's a joke I suppose
But baby, I'm the worryin' kind
And you turn up your nose
And you say it's a pose
But baby, I'm the worryin' kind
Yeah sometimes I'm blind
I'm just out of my mind
Baby, I'm the worryin' kind
12.Little Dysfunk You
I know many who are worse off than you
But you stick to your fuck-ups like they're made out of glue
Little dysfunk you, now what you gonna do?
Your eyes are watery, your mouth made for joy
Always quoting Morrisey but did you ever do it with a boy?
I've got a mouth for joy
And I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be your next-door neighbour, your mother and your savior
I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be the murder on the Rue Morgue you're trying to solve
Oh, I can't wait too long, I can't wait too long
Hear me calling out for you, calling out for you
Please don't wait too long, please don't wait too long
Make me crazy
Hearing you go on about the 'so much for bleached nostalgia..'
You're not afraid of pain, I know what you did
But now the question is, do you really dare to live?
Hey pretty dysfunk kid
It's better to be bitter than to seem like a fool
You say and hide behind your beer-glass
But I'm not so impressed by your dysfunk moves
'Cause I'm a dysfunk too
But I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be your next-door neighbour, your mother and your savior
I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be the murder on the Rue Morgue you're trying to solve
Oh, I can't wait too long, I can't wait too long
Hear me calling out for you, calling out for you
Please, don't wait too long, please, don't wait too long
Make me crazy
Hearing you go on about the 'so much for bleached nostalgia..'
Oh nananana nananana
Calling out for you, calling out for you
Oh nananana nananana
Calling out for you, calling out for you
Nananana nananana
Nananana nananana
Nananana nananana
Nananana nananana
Oh, 'so much for bleached nostalgia..'
Little dysfunk you
13.Breaking Up With God
Aooo-ooooh
Aooo-ooooh
Thought I had it straight
Thought I had it waiting for me
Thought it was my fate
I was only waiting for the sky to fall down
The sword of Damocles
Or at least I thought it was
Had me on my knees
That's when I saw it had the shape of a cross
Aooo-ooooh
I'm ready, to be loved
Aooo-ooooh
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Our world is black and white
Has he been haunting every corner?
Demons in the night
And no love, no love for the one who ain't right
Aooo-ooooh
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aaaah aaah aaah
Aaaah aaah aaah
(Ready to love)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aoooo
Now I wanna touch you right away
Aoooo, oooh
Find my own heaven in life
Aooo-ooooh
Aooo-ooooh
14.The Apocalypse Is Over
With souls that burned with fire
And an eagerness to stay up late
We set out to win the hearts
Of the outlandish and irate
In our coats of splendid colours
We went from town to town
Leaving young hearts filled with promise
And the venues turned up side down
Now we're standing here together
And it's time for the encore
So let's not keep them waiting anymore
Let all the trumpets blow
Give them a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Shout it out a little bit more
The apocalypse is over
With the power of zeal and pancake
We rose to rugged fame
In the world of no tomorrow
Everybody knew our name
Well, I don't know where we were headed
But I know that's where we are now
And that our holy mission ended
On the way somewhere, somehow
Now we're standing here together
And the crowd calls out for more
So let's not keep them waiting anymore
Let all the trumpets blow
Give them a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Shout it out a little bit more
The apocalypse is over
Look at us now
I think that we made it somehow
It's time to move on
The battle is won
The flood is postponed
Let all the trumpets blow
Make it a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go!
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Now it is all up to you
The apocalypse is over
