What's your favourite song? I don't have one.. I totally love them all :) Maybe Smile.. but it depends on my mood..

I remember that i still didn't have the cd, but i managed to listen Katie... I was totally excited, it was great.. and i couldn't wait to listen the other songs.. And when I did, they didn't disappointed me.. James did an awesome job..

KATIE

I'm through with pastry,
No more sticky bun or cherry tarts
I want a good girl,
One who rocks but has a decent heart
Well I've been waiting
Now I'm sick of that
I think I saw you...

Katie, come out and play
I've got a present
For you today
It's got your name on it
I hope I spelled it right
Ohoh yeah
Ohoh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

She's got tattoos,
Runnin down underneath her shirt
She wears long sleeves
So you can't guess what's on her
But the coolest one
She can't hide
Yeah the coolest one
Says Dad

Katie come out and play
I've got a secret for you today
I think you're pretty
I wanted you to know
Ohoh yeah
Ohoh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

This is pointless
Cause she's already got a guy
And I would never
Hit on her and make her life a lie
But I don't care
I'll find another one
No I don't care
(spoken) Maybe she's got a best friend man, I don't know

Katie come out and play
I've got a secret for you today
I think I love you
Though I dont know you well
Ohoh yeah
Ohoh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
ohohoh ohoh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(Spoken) I don't think that girl had a boyfriend at all

BAD


We met, we smiled
I put my arm around you
The camera flashed and it was over
My face was flushed
You turned and walked away
But in my pocket was your number
And I'm thinking

Who's that girl who smiles and hides at the same time
I really think she's got issues
The way she looks at me I can tell what a kiss brings
And if I taste her pain is that a crime

That night
We're upstairs in my room
I'm trying to ply you
With champagne and caviar
But you just wrinkle up your face
Won't get off second base
I'm trippin' on how strong you are

Oh my toes start dancing when you kiss me
You pull me down and I like it
Then my head explodes and I know something's hit me
You make me want to be bad...yeah

I am a monkey behind glass
turn on the lights have a laugh
get up you filthy thing and dance
and you would come across the sea
give me kisses that would speak
of your seven lonely oceans

who are you to smile and hide at the same time
I really like your issues
the way you look at me I can tell what a kiss brings
you make me want to be bad... yeah


THIS TOWN

O you didn't even care
What they said about you
And you ran away from there
Made a home
And you filled it with
A candle on a cinder block
And a matress on the floor

This town baby,this town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby,this town baby
is gonna be ours,
oOoours

You find a man
And he swears to protect you
From the dark
And you love him
And you try even harder
And it feels good
And you don't give a damn

This town baby this town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby this townbaby
Is gonna be ours
oOoours

I got a job at the hotel
And my car runs good
And builders move in now
I got my place
And i got me a plan
And i make a little money
And ill take you home
If you just look at me


This town baby this town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby this town baby
Is gonna be ours
oOoours

SMILE


In, I'm falling in
I didn't want to
Not so fast boy
Slow
Don't wanna hurt the girl
Give her a pretty box
You'd better fill it

And I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking in to the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles, smiles

Oh, there we go again
And it feels so good
We're fallin' up and down
Damn, it's 2am again
And she kisses me goodbye
For the sixteenth time

And I'm drivin' home, it's 5am
And I'm look at the sun come up over the hills
Clouds are turnin' pink and green
And all I can see is her eyes
Eyes, eyes

And I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking in to the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles, smiles

Smiles

FOR WHAT I NEED

I'm goin' swimmin' now
Get up your stream, baby
Gonna get wet yeah

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

Yeah I'm goin' climbing now
I'm gonna get high
Up your peaks baby

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

I don't care what you put in my way
Not nearly
Not ever since I met you
Now I'm like a heat seeking missile, baby

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

Well, I'm goin' walking now
The only problem
Up early on that road
I said the only problem is
To get home to you baby
If I don't get to you
I think I'm gonna go insane

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

Yeah

I don't care
What kind of hole is in the ground
I don't care
What kind of ocean is in between me and you
No baby I ain't gonna go halfway
I'm gettin' to you
Watch out

[laughs]

Watch out

LONG TIME

I remember what you told me
Last I said I wanted you
A crooked smile played
Across your lips and you said
Damn all you men are just the same

It's been a longtime, that's granted
But i bet you havent changed
It's been a longtime since I was okaaay,
okay yeah

In the years we spent together
I fell in love withyour honesty
You never told me that
Your sweet words were never meant to apply to me

It's been a long time, thats granted
but I bet you haven't changed
It's been a longtime,since I was okaaay
okay, yeah

la la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la la laaaaa
la la la la lala

You're so perfect
Put together
Liz your beauty is faultless
But what I thought was
Done for my eyes
Was really building a fortress

It's been a long time,that's granted
But I bet you're just the same
It's been along time since I was okaaay
okay
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
yeah

Every Man Thinks God Is On His Side


Every mornin'
Under the big yellow sun
A boy named Pedro
He's the lucky one
Can't read or write
Never been to school
Pedro picks coffee in Brazil
He no fool

You remember Billy Jack
How 'bout brother Sam
Jumped from a window last night
Somewhere in Amsterdam
Fool done broke his neck
Broke his lover's heart
She cried and shook her head
Now they're worlds apart

Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that true
Ain't that true
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that you
Ain't that you
Yea-eah

Lately I've been feelin' strange
Yeah maybe a little afraid
Maybe 'cause we live and die
In a world we never made
Sometimes it's so damn hard
To believe in what is true
And if you'll be there for me
I will be there for you

Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that true
Ain't that true
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that you
Ain't that you
Yea-eah
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that true
Ain't that true
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that you
Ain't that you

Poor Robyn



It's over now
I think I get it
It's been years
Since I saw your face
But now I don't want to hear from you
I don't want to hear about anyone
Or anything
Named Robyn for a while

Goodbye the sea
Where you live
Goodbye the water
Keep my toes dry for a while

Nobody heard what you had to say
'Cause kisses whisper stay away
Don't make me feel
Like that again

Oh poor Robyn
Don't be scared
Let me hold you
Let me take you there

I want you so
I want you
I want you so
What

No Promises


Hope I meet you on a good day
When I'm feeling all myself
Don't be startled if I runaway
Especially if you smile and really ring my bell

Hope you take it in a good way
when I show myself to you
I wouldn't worry about it anyway
I have soft skin and scars are nothing new

Please, no promises, don't wanna hear the words
Nothing you can say that I haven't already heard
Please, no promises, let's just pass the time
Come and sit with me and give me your eyes

We can find ourselves a quiet room
And let our hands run free
You can tickle underneath my arm
All the way down to behind my bended knee

Please, no promises, don't wanna hear the words
Nothing you can say that I haven't already heard
Please, no promises, let's just pass the time
Come and sit with me and give me your eyes

When we made ourselves that quiet place
And the world was just us two
I hope that you wont runaway
We can stay there
And make us something new.

Patricia


She has
a piano
And her hands dance lustily on the keys
She has
a pen and a paper
And she draws her favourite people and one is me

She wasn't s'posed to be cool
Now I'm her fool
But I don't care
She's given me a passkey
That has led me
to the world of Patricia, Patricia

Patricia, Patricia

Small breasts
curved hip
Dark eyes
Full lip
Small hands
Long arms
Touch me,
I'm gone

Now please
Make your own cage
Now she wants out
Now she breaks out

Now I
Sit here and I sigh
'Cause the girl has gone back home to Germany
I can't
Break through
And get to

Patricia, Patricia
Patricia, Patricia

Patricia

Civilized Man


There are walls just to get to you
You can hit me if you don't mind black and blue
You set me up
Not gonna fall
Run away

Went to sleep a long time ago
Several years since I hurt anybody
Don’t wake me up
Let me sleep
Won’t do you no good

Just keep to myself
Yeah yeah ye-eh-eh
Nobody want a part of this

It’s hard to be a civilized man
Times I wanna be just what I am
Woah catch yourself
Wanna wind up in jail?
Better smile and watch football

Civilized man
I ain’t no civilized man
Civilized man
Wasn’t born to be a civilized man

That’s it, I ain’t got no more to say
