Pay Cheque (Heritage II) It seems I'm not the youngest anymore Well, I could lean back and relax some more Have a cigarette and start to reflect Should start paying back to even the score And you know where you came from And you know why you have done this song And you know what you can't stand And I know what... I will not forget, I will not regret I'll always remind myself I'm not gonna stop stop, I'll always fight back I always pay my cheque Well I can listen to these records on and on And I have mentioned how much I love With a cigarette and another drink Now I can sing out what I have to give And you know where you came from...

In Your Dreams She's not the one I'm dreaming of... She used to be but I'm not having any nightmares anymore I'm not the one to beat you up... But I am dreaming of it night and day Whenever I can be around I'm gonna make you scream and shout If I will find a way to make you bleed I'm gonna use it all around I learned to hate you not too much But I'm making fun of you whenever I can If I could be your perfect dream I'd turn into a nightmare just to make you scream! Whenever I can be around... You were the one to hurt me The one to kick me Now I'm the one to hurt you I'll be in every of your dreams When you fall asleep Then I'm with you I'll be your nightmare 'cause you're in my dreams, too...

Insurance 03:02
Insurance Another trend is set And again it's not what we're about We're not your product Accept that we can't be bought You pump your money into artificial puppets Who bleek their teeth on our TV screens We sing our heart out, we get our fuel by those who dance Too many one hit wonders while we try to build and care We don't need your structures We built and save on our own We won't be artificial I say we can't be wrong You pump your money... "Hey Mr. Superstar, Do you really think we care? You think you're saying something We think you're fucking nothing Your message is killed by the pay-cheque in your hand It's already hard at work as your machine destroys..." You pump your money...

Patrick The Mole He was in love with some god that I never really understood tried to be as religious as he was but I could never be that good and he... Patrick kills himself it just blows him away Patrick kills himself when I work for ground One night he started floating away where I fought for ground Now his face has disappeared when I thought I'd found that he... Patrick kills himself... Worn out clothes and shoes in holes Bleeding fingers, bleeding nose He took his glasses off at shows You can't hear enough of those Patrick kills himself [ Sofa So Good 2003 ]

28th 03:10
28th I'm twenty-seven now And I'm still growing up Even grey-haired I will be your fool I'd like to ask you out But you don't call me back It seems like my quest must go on OK, I learned a lot Even how to smile When your appearance makes want to leave Have you ever been alone And been so afraid That you didn't even want to speak it out You took me one step down I'm taking two as one Even when you're gone I will be there I'm not the one to change your world In two or three or four guitar chords You may have heard before OK, I learned a lot... We're not the ones to change your world In two or three or four guitar chords You may have heard before [ Sofa So Good 2003 ]

Fairy Tale 02:58
Fairy Tale Today another letter came I'm glad to hear from you Don't even feel like reading it: Your boyfriend, your convictions, The records you bought so long ago And the lack of real spice in your life It's not my fault That my life went on While yours has stopped Where we once left We're gonna play a show In the city that you live in I don't think I will give you a call I guess you don't even know You don't even know our name Not to speak of these four friends of mine It's not my fault...

Coming Down 03:19
Coming Down He's still not getting it He still got no job Still got to sit at home Still got to pay his mom No responsibility Just hiding himself It's not such a bad thing No, it's the worst When everything's coming down We'll be standing up We'll never hit the ground We keep our heads right up He's still not getting it he still got no job It's not such a bad thing No, it's the worst And it's not even a little mistake No, it's the cause Even if you don't agree It's the system or it's me! When everything's coming down... [ Sofa So Good 2003 ]

Heartbreak Champ God knows I tried so hard last night But still I woke up empty and alone My T-shirt says I'm a champion Never felt so far from being one As the weekend's little heartaches start to fade And it's okay if you can't be with me today Tonight once more I'll cleanse my mind off you And it's alright for me to take you home tonight But the girl I told this line just saw me through Thinking of the times we've spent ALL's break-up record brings them back to mind Not that I ever broke up with you Not that I ever had the chance to Not that I ever think about you when I listen to these songs And it's okay...

No Home 03:32
No Home I will be standing strong I will not move along I know a place where we can hide and safely be as one You say that you have come with all your work undone You closed the door to where you can feel safe and clean and warm Where it's clean and warm... There is no place where you can feel at home No matter what you say your will won't come One day you'll realize You better think of twice You'll have to take a stand Which means you you have to choose one side It's a long way to go and there's no turning back One day I´m gonna move my home and take it back from you When it's clean and warm... There is no place... [ Sofa So Good 2003 ]

Town With No River When I walk the streets at night Like blood running through my veins There's nothing but me and the rain I can hear the houses whisper So many corners have seen me hang my head The pavement often caught my tears Look into the emptiness of black windows They could tell you much about me This city is mine I feel it inside of me It's my history Sad story Just another local girl came along And broke my heart Everynight I yearn for someone (But again) I kissed no one, not even a bottle This city... So I walk the streets at night Trying to live on in concrete solitude My house is black and the walls are dumb They listen to me and keep all my secrets This city... [ Sofa So Good 2003 ]
