Froderik:
Born in sheep's blood plain and simple
Washed out of my mother's temple
All around I heard them laughing
As father sheep had stood there calving
Black they were with white eyes gleaming
Right in heaven life was seeming
Brittle wind blew snow upon me
I got blanketed all white and frosty
In my time I grew and killed them
Or out of memory I willed them
And willed in a greater history
Out of massacre and mystery
Was no longer wealthy, woolly
Nor anything I could grasp fully
Someone rush to re-inject me
Gods of gods won't you protect me?
Fixed my face and marching onward
Marching running ever forward
Buildings were a bloody vessel
Edging me below the trestle
There in coal and whitened gravel
I built a shield of wooden baffle
Inside of which I raised a fire
So I could tonight retire
Everyone will tell you it's evil to be
A free-thinking pecker like bonny old me
So I'll flex my armies and blow out my gut
And prove I'll be loved by any old slut
Look here in my wallet, it's loaded and true
And now I can leave here and go and find you
none-ya:
VENOM
Large Mammal
1) Get up! Get up!
get off your seat, get on your feet instead
ya know they scheme to keep ya dreamin
( lying in your bed!)
but if you don't wake up, you're gonna be mislead
by the worthless information being pumped into your head!
(chorus)
well, life can be so unkind
the intricate knots entwine
feelings i'll half explore
wait around every corridor
they're tapping on the door
2) Jump high and fly
break the chains to find what state you're in
state of wonder or confusion, or a state of bliss
we could wallow in tomorrow draggin yesterday's fists
or sail the sea of destiny like : odysseus!
(chorus)
3) So i juxtapose what i know against the brain-set
sweatin, preachin, he ain't even in the game yet
and even though it's flowin slow out of the snake pit steaming venom streams right out the mouths of
fuckin hypocrites!
(chorus)
none-ya:
SLAVES - Large Mammal
1)the streets are all empty/my blood turns to flame
you put a knife in my heart/when you stuck that spike in your vein
there's some trash on the dashboard/the wind blows lame/your eyes roll back/i look away.
(chorus)
can you taste the stars shining/with your arm tied tight/does the candle burn you stomach as it's snuffing out the light/ are there just no more oasis/what happened to delight/how long have we been slaves/to something white?
2) howl at the rainbows/at night cant vent this new rage/wouldn't Napoleon envy/the words roll off the page
why cant i stop this tirade/why am i so damn concerned/out on the edge of the twilight/i face away from all those bridges that i've burned.
(chorus2)
but can you taste the stars shining with your lips around that pipe?/does the candle burn your stomach as it/snuffs out the light/are there just no more oasis/what happened to delight?/how long have we been slaves/to something white?
(repeat v1)
(repeat chorus 2)
SEKTO:
(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman
The Kinks
Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
I looked in the mirror what did I see
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
Surely there must be a way
For me to change the shape I'm in
Dissatisfied is what I am
I want to be a better man
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
I want to be like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Woke up this morning, what did I see
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Got to be a Superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
I'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive
[Look in the paper, what do I see,
Robbery, violence, insanity.]
Hey girl we've got to get out of this place
There's got to be something better than this
I need you, but I hate to see you this way
If I were Superman then we'd fly away
I'd really like to change the world
And save it from the mess it's in
I'm too weak, I'm so thin
I'd like to fly but I can't even swim
Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
RTP2003:
Big Sky looks down on all the people looking up at the Big Sky.
Everybody pushing one another around
Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
But the Big Sky is too big to let it get him down.
Big Sky too big to cry
Big Sky too high to see
People like you and me
One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down
When I feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me.
Big Sky looks down on all the people who think they got problems
They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.
People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky
But the Big Sky is too big to sympathize
Big Sky's too occupied
Though he would like to try
And he feels bad inside
Big Sky's too big to cry
One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down.
