PUZZLE
here we are again with another bunch of soft songs maybe you are wondering why it took us so long with a schedule tight, studiotime in sight we have mostly been out touring inspiration has been hard this time and honestly i've had some prolems with all these rhymes we're under stress again but it has always been that way and once we get it right, then i know it's there to stay third album, less of ska, and not so many fast ones more of poppy, pushy songs, those that we do best now nine to five at unisound in january '97 we had the greatest time with dan, as engineer now the outcome is what you hear we're under stress again but it has always been that way and once we get it right, then i know it's there to stay we're under stress again, but we're used to all that now it's always tough at first but somehow, we always end up fine if you're lonely, if you're happy feeling swell or feeling blue, we might have a tune for you and it's about half of an hour, maybe less or maybe more whatever it might be it's still softcore

LOZIN' MUST
when i am lozin' must in a conversation it makes me use my imagination start to think they're after me cause i'm a sore as those monkeys hope the chat goes on and i feel smaller the guys in front of me they get taller when i open my mouth again to tell them something more they answer me with a hockeyscore must be strong, can't be wrong or you'll be lozin' must, you'll be lozin' trust in yourself well i hace this girl and i make her crazy when i'm gone she's bored and lazy i get a kick from pushin' her but i'm not sure about how she feels about it my favourite hockeyteam are strugglin' it makes my stomach bubblin' bad their hard time really makes me sad we had some fucked up years now it's time to whipe away those tears it's been a tough time for me this past year lots of questions who i am, what i wanna be also found some anwers, the fog is gone i feel better every day and now the feeling is here to stay

RANDOM I AM
every morning, it's a new surprise don't know who i am before i roll the dice the option is the only thign that i decide you see, i live for a moment now i never did before, with all and everything i sweap the floor random i am i never give a damn about what's gonna happen next my wife and kids they left me my job is just a memory but that's the kind of price you've gotta pay if you're gonna go your own way solvin' problems can be done in many ways i don't care, i just roll the dice it's o.k, cause i just have to pretend that i am someone else get rid of all the habits not that's the plan come on and try it and you'll feel grand the first step is the hardest step to take imagination is the only brake just roll the dice, and everything will turn out nice you can be who you wanna be do what you wanna do and do it how you like this is my way of getting through the day, but i still don't know

BORING PLANET
when i was a kid i you know i thought that i could fly threw myself out of a window, right out into the sky now when i am older now i know that i could die die from a depression, i would learn my lesson well life's so normal, nothing's shockin' boring planet cause no one here is rockin' life's so tragic, nothings' clockin' boring planet cause no one here is rockin' hard when i was a kid you know i thought that i was strong the girls in school got beaten up by me every day long now when i am older now i know that it was wrong to deal with girls in first place, cause a broken heart is now the case a broken hearted in disgrace it's a boring planet, we're just lying to ourselves it's a boring planet, thanks to us and no one else

MONKEY BOOGIE
a snake, a fake, he's lame, he's in the game for the money and for the fame a spin, a grin, he's on and then we yawn he steals the credit, then he is gone he's the man with the plan and at first he'll seem helpful to make sure that you're on the hook he's so full of bull, and he sure will pull some strings to make things go his way yeah, everything will go his way we're in the monkey biz the monkey boogie is nothing new and he'll be doin' the dance with you humble, mumble, stumble, don't think so that is not the way to go connect, collect, correct, now what did you expect ? did you think that he seriously cares for you ? do the monkey boogie rango, orango-tango, baboon !

TWENTY TWO
i'm one year older now since last time i saw you in case you wanna know i'm about to say what i'm up to first of all i'm a sluggard movin' slow in a clumpsy way some peace of mind is what i wan't but that'll be the day i've been goin' with the flow for too long now this must end runnin' round in circles, i've been so far from myself searching for the energi and the time to make a change in my life instead of watching it pass by, get something done while i'm alive i'm twenty two, don't know what i'm supposed to do or how to be to get some more out of me i'm twenty two, so far away from all my dreams i'm twenty two, feeling blue i try to activate myself the best i can so boredom won't catch up with me i've got my daily plan wake up late, the rehearse a bit with the band, i guess it's cool ? and later when i'm home again i boil a note or two then go to bed is what i do afraid that i will be weak forever i can't stay in this shape any longer my life is just another cliché

BLACK GOLD

TRENDY WINDS
trendy winds are blowing through my hair the punk elite are checking every thing i wear i'm tired of their endelss whine, why can't they mind their own ? cause what i am is what i will be don't need you or your crew to tell me what to think or do everyday when you try to waste my time i waste a rhyme sometimes i can't understand what's wrong cause this whole scene is filled with people who's bad and nong you're an idiot a loser man, if you go their way cause you don't need no one-track now sometimes i can't understand what's wrong to all you suckers we dedicate this song

OTIS
i remeber when this was different than a job for friendship and for fun, in harmony we got it done we had a good scene going, in our hometown pennybridge now most of those bands are gone, it can be tough to stand alone so many times it has been shown but it looks good, just as it should feels good, not for me i can't say that yet not when you're filled up with regrets if i felt good today you know that i would stay you were my girl til this day i can't understand you're not anymore more that two years shared with you and all the things that we've been through in my memories forevers, you'll be there until i die and though this is the end, i love you more than as a friend doesn't matter it's the end everything has it's time and i will sure have mine so many things that we start almost tear us apart, eventually well everyone has their own way they gotta go so many things that we start, with people who breaks our heart one time, then do the same to another one

LIGHTS OUT
looking back in anger, looking back with joy and laughs don't ask me all those questions, cause i don't have the answers now i tried to hold back, all my thoughts and all my dreams just to make thing better, i was using myself past my means but all those days are gone and i can't find the path that i should follow i'm walking unknown land mile after mile i search the way back to my mind and i cannot believe how hard it is to find when i'm down i used to make things easy, i used to be a happy guy but now things seem so different, that i can't even play the game i got to try, to find a way through all this now yeah so what i need now, is someone to read the map cause i don't know how i feel ashamed and i'm to blame cause i tried to be, i tried to see things from my side and i also bleed, i also need some space it's time to close this case

ENTRANCE AT RUDEBROOK
the joy and the pain it's all in the game but right now the joy's far away we're gonna take it back to how it was before now so what if we're last, so what if we're gone you're waiting for that day but i know it won't come we've reached the bottom and now we're just looking forward for twelve years i'be been down but i'm now whining im still smiling and i'm still around every night every sunday or wednesday night you'll be there with all the other folks biting those nails and some of us i know that we would die for you and maybe you think it's just cause i have my smartcard but forget that pal, tell you what we're in it and we're in it to win it so many hours spent in that building and now the memories devine just a few more seasons, then we'll be back ready to attack and ready to take on the top again

LOWLIFE
i don't know what to say, cause i don't feel that good today i don't know what to do, i left my mind in all that glue if i try to think, or if i'll do something about this mess then i will find myselft in a situation i can't deal with now my head it starts to pound my thoughts are flying around and my body hits the ground i can't hear a sound and i feel fine cause i can't see whats wrong i'm alone and strong i keep my eyes on you, just to make myself to sure i don't know why i care, cause it makes me feel so poor and i must try to leave all this stuff behind me now and i feel fine but tomorrow i don't know what i will say cause my head will start to pound my thoughts will fly around when my body hits the ground then i won't hear a sound and i feel fine and i can see what's wrong i'm alone and strong
