1. YOUR NEW CUCKOO

I saw you there
I stopped and stared
The curly girlie smiled
You really were

Too close to her
And people just went by
I saw your face
And her embrace

Your whisper in her ear
I know the score
'Cause I've heard it before
I read your lips with fear

Your words were clear (you said)
Lalalalalala
Let's say forever let's say it's true
Lalalalalala

Let's come together me and you
Lalalalalala
Your new cuckoo


2. BEEN IT

Baby boy
Your face is pretty and your life's a toy
Master man
I'm never better than your latest plan
Poor donee
What are you gonna try to be
Where are you gonna go without me now

I've been your mother, I've been your father
Who can ask me for more
I've been your sister, I've been your mistress
Maybe I was your whore
Who can ask me for more

Superstar
I've tried to educate your childish heart
I made your bed
And I was in it when your faith was dead
Poor donee
What are you gonna try to be
Where are you gonna go without me now

I've been your mother, I've been your father
Who can ask me for more
I've been your sister, I've been your mistress
Maybe I was your whore
Who can ask me for more

Sweetiepie
I'm your personal pro, you know
You know what number to try when to cry

I've been your mother, I've been your father
Who can ask me for more
I've been your sister, I've been your mistress
Maybe I was your whore
Who can ask me for more


3. HEARTBREAKER

No, not again
Oh, what a man
Just who I thought that I wanted to have
Oh, don't do that
Don't use that bat
That's all it takes to make me falling flat
No, not again
A loser I am
I love you tonight
You are my knight
Cure and assure and make me feel alright
Tomorrow you'll find
I'm not around
But don't be uptight
'Cause I loved you last night

Vacant and free
Yeah, that is me
Just tell me how and i'll please you for free
Tell me I'm good
I know I'm bad
Lies make me feel fine although it is sad
Oh, not again
Not one more man
I love you tonight
You are my knight
Cure and assure and make me feel alright
Tomorrow you'll find
I'm not around
But don't be uptight
'Cause I loved you last night


4. HAPPY MEAL II

Arrange my books in order
Make up some nice stories to amuse you
Make things look smart and easy
Shape up the place
Hungry for the meeting
The dinner we'll be eating
Wine that we'll be drinking
And kinky thoughts I'm thinking
All because of you

And now i've found a partner
No one can be happier than I am
And now i've found a new friend
No one can be happier than me

Prepare a meal with candles
Sweet wine and strings
Chosen from the purpose
Then take a bath with bubbles
Shape up my face
Eager for the meeting
The dinner we'll be eating
Wine that we'll be drinking
And kinky thoughts I'm thinking
All because of you


5. NEVER RECOVER

How I always memorize
Every single misery
And I seem to glorify
Everything inside of me
And the hero never dies
If the lover hides
Between the sheets
There's no escape
Cause you can't sleep
And then you'll see
You're just like me...
That's what you called waste of time
I'll be waiting down the line
That's what you called waste of time
Waiting for your valentine
That's what you called waste of time
I know where your hero hides
That's why you don't sleep tonight
That's what I call life
With a hero in the past
You hang on to history
Such a loss will always last
And there's no recovery


6. STEP ON ME

Oh, I think you're standing on my left foot
It's hurting, but that's OK
Cause I'm in your way

You'll break the foot that you're standing on
I'll walk with the other one

Do what you want to do what you want to
Me what you want to be what you want to
Go on and step on me

You're free to have everything
You can see, all that you want from me
Free to be all that you want to be
Do what you want with me

Oh, I think you're spinning inside my head
I think of you all the time
Cause you're in my way

Oh, I think you're holding
The heart of mine
Squeeze it apart, that's fine

Go ahead and step on me


7. LOVEFOOL

Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me, but I think you do

So I cry, and I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me
Love me, love me, pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me, just say that you need me

So I cry and I pray for you to

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Leave me, leave me, just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you

Lately I have desperately pondered
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way to make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care as long as you don't go

So I cry, I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me
Love me, love me, pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me, just say that you need me

So I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Leave me, leave me, just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you (anything but you)

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me
Love me, love me, I know that you need me
I can't care about anything but you


8. LOSERS

Look at all these losers
You find them everywhere
They're fucked up and annoying
But somehow you seem to care

It's easier to laugh
But something makes you stick around
You can't watch from above
And keep your ten toes in the sand

You wish that you were special
I'm just like you
Close your eyes
That'll be the day you'll find those lies

Fold your ears
That'll be the day that you will hear
That'll be the day you
Get back home

It's lonely to be strange
And you would never tell
That you're one of these itches
You know it much too well

Losers are your weakness
They will always touch your heart
You're touching me as well
'Cause I have always been a part

You wish that you were special
I'm just like you


9. IRON MAN (BLACK SABBATH COVER)

(I am Iron Man!)

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all?
Or if he moves, will he fall?

Is he live or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there.
Why should we even care?

(Oh, Iron Man!)

He once turned to steel
In that great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold
No, nobody wants him
They just turned their heads
And nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Feels his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

(Oh, Iron Man!)

10. GREAT DIVIDE

There's a monster growing in our heads
Raised up on the wicked things we've said
A great divide between us now
Something we should know

There's something to remember
And something to forget
As long as we remember
There's something to regret
Something we should know

There's a mountain higher than we knew
It's high but such a bitter view
A great divide between us now
Something we should know

A great divide between us now
On different sides of a great divide


11. CHOKE

A common line
I closed my eyes
But couldn't let it go
The perfect time
I dropped my guard
And lost but won somehow

It's rather sad
It feels like we've never
Made it together since

One word ahead
And you'd be dead
I held you in my throat
I stumble by
Attached to you
I couldn't let it go

It's rather sad
It's really sad
It feels like we've never
Made it together since

We'll never have the guts
To discover
We'll choke on it and die


BONUSTRACK


12. SICK AND TIRED

Sick, tired and homeless
With no one here to sing for
Tired of being weightless
For all these looking good boys

You can always say my attic has its charm
You can always say you did no major harm
You can always that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
Oh, spare me if you please

Sick, tired an sleepless
With no one else to shine for
Sick of all my distress
But I won't show I'm still poor

Symptoms are so deep
Something here's so wrong
Nothing is complete
Nowhere to belong
Symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
Here on my own
So spare me if you please
