Who am I?

FIRST VERSE
Is my image what it should be
Do my fans see me for me
Am I too short, and I too tall
Am I too large, am I too small
Am I all that I could be
How do people perceive me
Am I too fat, am I too thin
A sincere smile, or a cheesy grin
CHORUS
Who am I and what should I be
How does everyone perceive me
Who am I, am I right on trend
Or has my career reached the end
Who am I and what should I be
How does everyone perceive me
Who am I, am I right on trend
Or has my career reached the end
SECOND VERSE
Have I been blessed with luck
Is there a chance I’ll self-destruct
Am I too young, and I too old
Under-bought or over-sold
Am I all that I could be
How do people perceive me
Am I too fat, am I too thin
A sincere smile, or a cheesy grin
CHORUS x 2
BREAK
When self-doubt takes hold
There’s no knowing it will unfold
Questions and questions without any answers
Bad press reviews and compliments from chancers
CHORUS x 2

The Demagogues of Azania
04:08
|
|||
|
FIRST VERSE
A western leader or a tribal chief
A cunning fox or an outright thief
To master their skill doesn’t take much flare
Their dirty laundry, laid out bare
Po-wer and De-ceipt
All boxed up very neat!
CHORUS
The demagogues of Azania, are here today, not here to stay
The demagogues of Azania, they have no sorrow, they’re gone tomorrow
The demagogues of Azania, are here today, not here to stay
The demagogues of Azania, they have no sorrow, they’re gone tomorrow
BREAK
Have you ever stopped to wonder
About the impact of your greed
And the consequences of your actions
On all the empty mouths to feed
And have you ever stopped to consider
The legacy that you’ll leave
And just how little you have built
On the foundation you received
SECOND VERSE
A thief in the night, while we’re all asleep
The nation’s wealth, is theirs to keep
Who will notice, who will care
Never revolt, just sit and stare
Bra-zen, corruption
For the elite, with the gumption!
CHORUS

H&M

Somewhere in England,
There is a county
A county that’s missing
Its nobility
Driven away
Driven to Netflix
To another place, another day
Driven by their existential fear
He’s not the brightest crayon in the box
And she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed
He’s not the brightest star in the sky
And she’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer
It’s up to you, H&M
Do what you can do, H&M
To make another Dollar, H&M
You’re Netflix fodder, H&M
You say that, you mean well
While you sell whatever, you can sell
You say you need, press prevention
While your life is based, on public attention
He’s not the brightest crayon in the box
And she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed
He’s not the brightest star in the sky
And she’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer
It’s up to you, H&M
Do what you can do, H&M
To make another Dollar, H&M
You’re Netflix fodder, H&M
His public discourse, was cut at the source
His family dissension, cost him his pension
But it’s not his style, to be so vile
The family dunce, can only break away once
He’s not the brightest crayon in the box
And she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed
He’s not the brightest star in the sky
And she’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer
It’s up to you, H&M
Do what you can do, H&M
To make another Dollar, H&M
You’re Netflix fodder, H&M
You can’t do this, and you can’t do that
Don’t say this, and don’t say that
He claims he needs, a shield from the press
While public attention is his route to success
He’s not the brightest crayon in the box
And she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed
He’s not the brightest star in the sky
And she’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer
It’s up to you, H&M
Do what you can do, H&M
To make another Dollar, H&M
You’re Netflix fodder, H&M
He’s not the quickest bunny in the woods
She’s not the smartest person in the world
But that make a good team
Obstinently pursuing their dream

Slightly Famous

On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
God-like, no respite, ubiqui-tous
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
I never mean to be a bore
I wanted fame, I wanted more
I tried so hard, to please the crowd
Scream and scream and shout out loud
Who will listen, who will hear
I begged and begged, to tame my fear
I’d even go from door to door
Like some sort of media whore
Never before, never again
How much could I gain, in the fast lane
Always too little, always too late
The attention I sought, at any rate
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
God-like, no respite, ubiqui-tous
Every night, self-adorned, obsess-ive
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Dedicate my life, to my fans
And leave my fate, in their hands
Spawn attention, for my own gain
The lengths I go to are insane
If you knew, what’s on my mind
I’m not like you, I’m not your kind
The fame I have, is not enough
From the critics and the buffs
Never before, never again
How much could I gain, in the fast lane
Always too little, always too late
The attention I sought, at any rate
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Every night, self-adorned, obsess-ive
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous

Run Away

Run away, run away, get away, leave today, you know I gotta,
Run away, run away, leave here today, get away, …..I gotta,
Run away, run away, get away, leave today, you know I gotta,
Run away, run away, run away, run away
I’ve been around here far too long
I’ve had enough, I can’t be wrong
I’ve had enough, I need a change
Somewhere new, to turn the page
Another dollar, another day
You work so hard, you pay and pay
What started off as my place in the sun
Ended up not being any fun
I know what I gotta do
Find a place, somewhere new
Put a stop to my frustration
Without any hesitation
Run away, run away, get away, leave today, you know I gotta,
Run away, run away, leave here today, get away, …..I gotta,
Run away, run away, get away, leave today, you know I gotta,
Run away, run away, run away, run away
Somewhere new, it was so exciting
Moved right in, it was so inviting
Hours turn, into days
Days turn, into weeks
Weeks turn, into months
Months turn, into years
Years and years, years and years
I need a change, after all these time
I know what I gotta do
Find a place, somewhere new
Put a stop to my frustration
Without any hesitation
Run away, run away, get away, leave today, you know I gotta,
Run away, run away, leave here today, get away, …..I gotta,
Run away, run away, get away, leave today, you know I gotta,
Run away, run away, run away, run away
Run away, run away, get away, leave today, you know I gotta,
Run away, run away, leave here today, get away, …..I gotta,
Run away, run away, get away, leave today, you know I gotta,
Run away, run away, run away, run away

Soulless City
04:18

INTRO
Here, at the precipice of suburbia
The smoggy city holds out a hand
She invites us in
To an unwelcoming land
FIRST VERSE
Travelling through, this soulless city
Our hearts bleed, and we feel pity
Over bridges, and through tunnels
No reprieve, for all our troubles
CHORUS
Highway, byway, no one’s going our way
Uphill, downhill, everything here stands still
Highway, byway, waiting for a brighter day
Uphill, downhill, past another landfill
X 2
SECOND VERSE
Passing old buildings, with the wind at our backs
Always tense, there’s no time to relax
Looking down, on this swamp of a city
Our hearts bleed, and we feel pity
CHORUS x 2
OUTRO
No matter where I live
No matter where I go
It haunts me everyday
The city we know
CHORUS

We All Shine

We all shine
We all shine
Every night and every day,
Rain or shine, come what may
We all shine
We all shine
Every night and every day,
Rain or shine, come what may
So many things, we can’t control,
To see them solely, takes its toll
Think of me, I’ll think of you
Think of us, we’ll see it through
We use our hearts and we pay the price
With all we have, we roll the dice
Don’t ever veer too far from home
There is no need to go it alone
We all shine
We all shine
Every night and every day,
Rain or shine, come what may
We all shine
We all shine
Every night and every day,
Rain or shine, come what may

Somewhere in England,
There’s a county
A county that’s missing
Its nobility
Driven away
Driven to Netflix
By existential fear
To another place, to another day
He spent his whole life searching for his own truth, but it remained hidden to him because he had learned at a very young age to hate himself. Not once did he allow himself to direct his endless, justified rage at the true culprit. All his life he attempted to free himself of that prison, with the help of drugs, travel, illusions, and above all poetry. But in all these desperate efforts to open the doors that would have led to liberation, one of them remained obstinently shut, the most important one: the door to the emotional reality of his childhood.
