Song 1
We’ll be singing, when we’re winning
We’ll be singing
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down
(x4)
Pissing the night away, pissing the night away
He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the best times
Oh Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy…
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down
(x4)
Song 2 (no not that one!)
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know the places where we go
When we’re grey and old
‘Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call
She won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
Song 3
A scrub is a guy that thinks he’s fly
And is also known as a busta
Always talkin’ about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So no, I don’t want your number
No, I don’t want to give you mine and
No, I don’t want to meet you nowhere
No, I don’t want none of your time and
No, I don’t want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me
Hangin’ out the passenger side of his best friend’s ride
Trying to holla at me
(Repeat)
Well a scrub checkin’ me but his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
‘Cause I’m looking like class, and he’s looking like trash
Can’t get wit’ a deadbeat ass
So no, I don’t want your number
No, I don’t want to give you mine and
No, I don’t want to meet you nowhere
No, I don’t want none of your time and
No, I don’t want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me
Hangin’ out the passenger side of his best friend’s ride
Trying to holla at me
(Repeat)
Song 4
Today is gonna be the day
That they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don’t know how
Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You’re my wonderwall
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don’t know how
Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You’re my wonderwall
Song 5
She’s into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl’s gonna make me fall
She’s into new sensations
New kicks in the candlelight
She’s got a new addiction
For every day and night
She’ll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She’ll make you live her crazy life, but she’ll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Upside, inside out
She’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll push and pull you down
Livin’ la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin’s the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin’ la vida loca
Come on! Livin’ la vida loca
Come on! She’s livin’ la vida loca
She never drinks the water and makes you order French champagne
Once you’ve had a taste of her you’ll never be the same
Yeah she’ll make you go insane
Upside, inside out
She’s livin’ la vida loca
She’ll push and pull you down
Livin’ la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin’s the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin’ la vida loca
Come on! Livin’ la vida loca
Come on! She’s livin’ la vida loca
Song 6
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
But we are two worlds apart
Can’t reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Tell me why! Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache
Tell me why! Ain’t nothing but a mistake
Tell me why! I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Yes, I know it’s too late
But I want it that way
Tell me why! Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache
Tell me why! Ain’t nothing but a mistake
Tell me why! I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
(Repeat)
Song 7
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin’s college
That’s where I
Caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said “In that case I’ll have rum and coca-cola.”
She said “Fine,”
And then in thirty seconds time, she said –
“I wanna live like common people,
I wanna do whatever common people do,
I wanna sleep with common people,
I wanna sleep with common people like you.”
Well what else could I do?
I said “I’ll see what I can do.”
She just smiled and held my hand
Rent a flat above a shop. Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool. Pretend you never went to school
But still you’ll never get it right, ‘Cos when you’re laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall, If you called your Dad he could stop it all
Yeah
You’ll never live like common people,
You’ll never do whatever common people do,
You’ll never fail like common people,
You’ll never watch your life slide out of view,
And then dance, and drink, and screw
Because there’s nothing else to do
Song 8
Oh, baby, baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn’t right here?
Oh, baby, baby, I shouldn’t have let you go
And now you’re out of sight, yeah
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby, ’cause I need to know now, oh, because
My loneliness Is killing me (and I)
I must confess, I still believe (still believe)
When I’m not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me, baby, one more time
Song 9
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go. But I know
I’ll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you, oohh
Will always love you
Bittersweet memories
That is all I’m taking with me
So good-bye. Please don’t cry
We both know I’m not what you you need
And I will always love you, oohh
Will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love
And I will always love you
Will always love you
Song 10
You just walk in, I make you smile. It’s cool but you don’t even know me
You take an inch, I run a mile. Can’t win you’re always right behind me
And we know that you could go and find some other
Take or leave it or just don’t even bother
Caught in a craze, it’s just a faze, or will this be around forever
Don’t you know it’s going too fast. Racing so hard you know it won’t last
Don’t you know, what can’t you see
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you are going
Stop right Now. Thank you very much
I need somebody with the human touch
Hey you you always on the run.
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Do Do Do Do Do…
Song 11
Does he love me?
I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so?
(Is it in his eyes?) Oh, no, you’ll be deceived
(Is it in his sighs?) Oh, no, he’ll make believe
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It’s in his kiss (That’s where it is, oh, yeah)
(Or is it in his face?) Oh, no, it’s just his charms
(In his warm embrace?) Oh, no, that’s just his arms
If you want to know if he loves you so
It’s in his kiss (That’s where it is)
Oho, it’s in his kiss (That’s where it is)
Oh-oho, hug him, squeeze him tight
Find out what you wanna know
If it’s love, if it really is
It’s there in his kiss
(How about the way he acts?)
Oh, no, that’s not the way
You’re not listening to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It’s in his kiss (That’s where it is)
Oho, it’s in his kiss (That’s where it is)
Song 12
We are young, we run green, keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright
We wake up, we go out, smoke a fag, put it out
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright
Are we like you? I can’t be sure
Of the scene, as she turns, we are strange, in our worlds
But we are young, we get by, can’t go mad, ain’t got time
Sleep around if we like, but we’re alright
Song 13
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You’re here, there’s nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
Song 14
Street’s like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece on holiday
Love in the 90’s is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances
Looking for
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they’re girls
Who do girls like they’re boys
Always should be someone you really love
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schön
But we haven’t been introduced
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they’re girls
Who do girls like they’re boys
Always should be someone you really love
Song 15
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke
Your love life’s DOA
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but
I’ll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour)
I’ll be there for you (Like I’ve been there before)
I’ll be there for you (‘Cause you’re there for me too)
You’re still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You’ve burned your breakfast
So far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there’d be days like these
But she didn’t tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that
I’ll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour)
I’ll be there for you (Like I’ve been there before)
I’ll be there for you (‘Cause you’re there for me too)
Question 16
25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out what’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?
Question 17
You say that we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we’re falling apart
You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don’t care
And I said “What about Breakfast at Tiffany’s?”
She said, “I think I remember that film
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it.”
And I said “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”
I see you – the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It’s plain to see we’re over
And I hate when things are over
When so much is left undone
And I said “What about Breakfast at Tiffany’s?”
She said, “I think I remember that film
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it.”
And I said “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”
Question 18
When you were here before, couldn′t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather in a beautiful world
I wish I was special, you′re so fuckin’ special
But I’m a creep, I′m a weirdo
What the hell am I doin′ here?
I don’t belong here
I don′t care if it hurts, I wanna have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I’m not around
So fuckin′ special, I wish I was special
But I’m a creep, I′m a weirdo
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Question 19
I say, hey boy, sittin’ in your tree, Mummy always wants you to come for tea
Don’t be shy, straighten up your tie, get down from your tree house, sittin’ in the sky
I want to know just what to do, is it very big, is there room for two?
I got a house with windows and doors, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours
Gotta let me in (hey, hey, hey) Let the fun begin (hey)
I’m the wolf today (hey, hey, hey) I’ll huff, I’ll puff
I’ll huff, I’ll puff, I’ll blow you away
Say you won’t, say you’ll do what I don’t
Say you’re true, say to me, “C’est la vie”
Say you will, say you won’t, say you’ll do what I don’t
Say you’re true, say to me, “C’est la vie”
Song 20
I guess now it’s time for me to give up. I feel it’s time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn’t mean it
I just want you back for good (Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
Whenever I’m wrong just tell me the song and I’ll sing it
You’ll be right and understood (Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
I want you back for good
And we’ll be together, this time is forever
We’ll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn’t mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I’m wrong just tell me the song and I’ll sing it
You’ll be right and understood
I guess now it’s time, that you came back for good
Finale

Hakuna Matata!
Ain’t no passing craze

It’s our problem-free philosophy
