#1 Crush ::

When I first met you I knew you'd kill me if I'd let you

The Ballad of a Toaster Collector ::

If we're not doing anything wrong then why are we locking the door? And if we're locking the door anyway we might as well do something wrong. If kissing is not cheating then why are you covering your hickey? And if you're wearing a scarf today that means we've cheated on your boyfriend

Boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, why do you exist? Boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, I wanna get with your girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, why do I always draw the shorter end? Girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, I guess that's just not for me.

If you're so indecisive, then I guess it's all my fault, and it is all my fault that you're so indecisive. You're still the prettiest girl that these lips have ever kissed and no one can take that away from me, not even your boyfriend.

Concordance ::

You jumped right out of a black and white movie. From way back when they were silent. when i look for you in the dark your lit cigarette betrays you

people used to close their eyes when enjoying themselves. now they are way too shy you're not, you do, I do

Three times in a row is much too little, to expect a reaction. So let's get back on the floor and take some action

you are one of those people so absorbed in life that they don't notice it just passing them by

I just passed you by and by You just passed me by, goodbye

Deadline ::

With the light on in the corridor it's much easier to sleep. I forgot yet what I fear for but I know it's still there

Shadows in the hall make you feel tall make me feel small

Turn it off, you don't turn me on. Please stop following me. Am I paranoid, or hysterical? Am I just as you want me to be?

El Fin ::

This is the end, I don't even like you anymore, you're a pain in the ass, I'm sorry that it had to end like this. I made many mistakes and I'm sorry for that but I don't give a fuck whether you forgive me for them or not

Please don't forget this is only a song it means you no harm it could have been written about anyone it's not always about, no it's never about you I've already got enough friends and this is the end

French Fries & Cell Phones ::

I've got to pee - I've got two p in my pocket - I've got two p in my pocket, but they won't get me - I've got two p in my pocket but they won't get me to London

do you reckon the worse the politics get the better the music gets

Exchange chips for French Fries and mobile phones for cells

do you know it's not only stupidity it's creativity that sells

UK, USA.

GPS ::

Inhale, Exhale, by the time, my breath's gone stale, breathe in, breathe out, ask myself: what's this about?

I can only brush my teeth so many times a day and if you get any close I swear I'll run away

Hey, you

look left, look right, see her, run into the night. Say: "Hi", or maybe not? Why is this so goddamn hard?

Traffic education has not prepared me for you I need navigation, do you even have a clue?

In my spare time I'm a workaholic ::

I tried to flirt with the girl in the fake Gaultier shirt. Although she was drunk out of her skull she hit me hard to make me stop.

She's pretty much state of the art. But the art students just won't listen. She needs to leave the schoolground to drop her level of aggression.

Sometimes she might ask: Where am I? But she would not ask where to go. Always has some place to be. No time for love no time for me.

Quicksand, racing my tumble drier against your dish washer. Quicksand rattling our golden ghost chains. Quicksand racing my toploader against your washing machine.

Kick Rollin Streets ::

You can't buy everything in this word and your money won't get you very far here. where's the microcosm in your macrocosm, where the streets have no names but numbers?

Portland, Oregon, I love you. New York, New York. No thank you

you don't work with people, they work for you. Destory the planet, solely buy organic. Medicate yourself, you got burnt out. We ride our bikes to town

I ride my bike to town, we ride our bikes and we are proud. I rode my bike to town today it felt so much better than you have ever (felt in your entire life)

Me, Professional Stalker ::

Self-proclamtion is really a thing of my generation, when there's nothing to reveal there's always a confession at hand

Give yourself away, voluntarily, to state control

I don't know you, we've never met. I've got your profiled, you call me friend. I know every tiny little thing there is to know about you even though we've nver met I've got you all profiled and you call me your friend

Mass-produced identity, bought and sold

Message Delivery Failure Notification ::

All that glitters is not gold and the heart I held is in the hand I hold. Skywriting by chance reads nothing more than "it was an accident" Farewell's neither fair nor well and the story I tell is filled with lies you yell, the back of your head, going, going, gone

Observations of an Alien ::

Slovakian guy uses a bat to beat up his lover. Spanish girl behind bars cause she's a loner trying to get rid of her madness. UK friend whose belly grew too fast was given glass to go. Said the pain in his stomach might help him keep on the diet

As I understand it, on the planet you call Earth civilization is a swear word, maybe I won't visit after all

In the US they wash their sins in gin tonic and chicks are impressed by cars that go real quickly. Polish cows are on crack cause they saw too many a war, while Russian cows fancy Kate Moss

Frank won't go any further from the German border than w here he dropped a bag that read "Iraq" and contained a bomb in the postbox back in Sweden where a prostitute in stockings was his only home and Allah will be, like: "oops"
Maybe I won't, maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I'd rather, yeah I'll eliminate you all

One in a million ::

This is too hard, fair enough, who told you this would be easy? No one ever jumped off a clif with a smile, they just made it sound like that afterwards.

Better sorry than safe. And I promise you're not gonna die tonight. No risk, no fun. Remember what this feels like

I love you but that won't save you any/more than it breaks me

Let's play another round of solitaire. I know this doesn't sound like me. But I don't like you very much right now.

Your favorite record made me feel like writing my own. And I don't mean that in a good way.

I don't have time for this and you're so not ready.

Personal Velocity ::

My friend Suzanne thinks there'a master plan. She can't change the world so why bother trying?

Apathy

My friend Maureen wants to be a beauty queen, sent her photograph to all the magazines

Superficiality

My friend Anna only gets naked in the dark. Sometimes she hates her body so much she won't even leave the house

Insecurity

My friend Louise changes boyfriends every two weeks, she says: "it's the same with bands, I don't know what I want or who I am"

Confusion

What about me? I won't pretend that I am not like either of them, no I am not a...

Self-Denial

Apathy, confusion, self-denial, gotta fight these overwhelming tendencies. Superficiality, insecurity, gotta fight these overwhelming tendencies

Instead of slagging each other off we need mutual support competition amongst women is gonna destroy us all

Reconciliation Army ::

When the web of lies you tied around my neck it got too tight and I threatened to suffocate I had to jump off the moving train

All is lost, I asked you at what cost you didn't believe in this world, as a preemptive measure you chose to hurt

Now I'm bruised I'm black and blue but I refuse to believe in fate cause why would they let us crash and burn for nothin?

What's lost can be retraced, pick me up. I hate lying in our way

This city kills itself ::

Attention, attention, this city's gonna explode, attention, attention, someone help me. Attention, attention, this town's gonna explode, attention, attention, this city's gonna blow

same old faces, same old jokes, we drink, we smoke. Same old lies I hear, tell some myself just to get by

Attention, attention, one day I'll blow my cover

For an hour I thought I had it all but the girl in my arm had a different plan,took everything back

Trip to Berlin ::

Empathy most people don't have it, empathy empathy.

I thought that I loved you, which you chose to ignore. I thought you hated me, you chose to ignore me. Why can't I decide when and if and how, I get to say what I don't wanna say anyway

If silence is golden, why don't I shit money? If silence is golden, why don't you shut the fuck up?

The Waiter ::

Come over here and take a seat, I've got a new recipe for you and me to go down in history. Believe it or not, I'm an expert in catastrophe, I have seen the world slow down

we're so sedated that we've become serrated like the knife in the kitchen sink so desperate for cleaning that I used to cut out shock values from the magazines for my brand new recipe

Since we found out we're no match for that box that others keep staring at and figured that it sucks we might as well go outside get our skin burnt by that heavy ozone-layered extraterrestrial junk

We're so placated that it seeps into our hatred that we project on each other as we poison our horizons when we taste my brand new recipe

Yesterday you were too drunk, today you're not drunk enough ::

Maybe I'm over-reacting, but what does that mean exactly? It's still the reality of what's going on iside of me (can't you see?)

And I ask myself is this yearning really an eternal flame? And who's to blame if I never speak to you again?

You only fall in love with one type of person, use it against me as a ransom Sexuality is fluid I'm sure you'd agree if this wasn't about you but about me

Are words our only actions, then how do you define attraction? If words are our only actions, what's your definition of bisexual?

You're a walking cliché but I like you that way. You're a walking cliché, but I love you

You are a little field of hope, you are my little field of hope. You are a little field of expertise and you are a little field of your own. So I would like to conduct a little field study to find out if you really are my little field of love
