mando diao - a picture of em all

We call it lady nowdays, when you?re put down with your panties, issues maid!
And when you?re making my bed, remember you have to make yourself

But I don?t know where it?s going
I?ve got a picture of ?em all
If it?s going deathrow?
I?ve got a picture of ?em all
and you know who?ll cause it

- that?s your home

And time?s out on the street
if time eats, then it?s fought by a warrior
You?ve got lust for b love
You?ve got anything life could need

But I don?t know?

That?s your women - let your women dry
Every head in Kine - let your women dry
Everywhere, I trust ? let your women dry
Everywhere, I seek my purity in love affairs

I wanna beat you in all
I want beat but it?s all to much now
I?ve got lust for b love
I?ve got anything life could need

But I don?t know?

That?s your women?

mando diao - a decent life

Instrumental

mando diao - added family

There's a town I know where all who enters mutter
And the head has bought a crown that doesn't fit
So when coffee shops and supermarkets burn down I know
They have only the sun for witness and believer that's a shame
'Cause the stars have closed their eyes so they won't

See Jim light his management
And watch Dan lose his tournament
And poor Dolores' hardcore stars
They tried to rule but ran to far
And Jimmy fucked the glam for fun
As he screwed his chicks he's done
And all you dandies thought you won
Now look who's made it again

There are bootlegs being released but nothing happens
There are father figures wearing shirts of you
And the church of Sweden loves your dirty makeup
'Cause you dyed hair makes reflections in their souls it's a sin
Now my team has closed their eyes so they won't

See Jim light his management
And watch Dan lose his tournament
And poor Dolores' hardcore stars
They tried to rule but ran to far
And Jimmy fucked the glam for fun
As he screwed his chicks he's done
And all you dandies thought you won
Now look who's made it again

See Jim light his management
And watch Dan lose his tournament
And poor Dolores' hardcore stars
They tried to rule but ran to far
And cocaine snorting she-male-bands
No lust in you stands a chance
To the killer-seeds we spread
Now open your mouth if you dare

mando diao - all my senses

Pull the trigger, break down in a love affair
When I said I didn't care, you started searching for tomorrow
Pull the trigger, my girl you're running all alone
I said I was back home, but I'm far away

And there ain't no point in the words I write
There ain't no way to know me
But it sure felt right when I saw your eyes
But now they feel like, oh yeah they feel like Mondays

And all my senses seem to shine through the day
Seem to shine through the day, honey that's okay
Yes all my senses seem to shine in the night
Seem to shine in the night, honey that's alright

In your heart girl, I see a jealous butterfly
You wanted me high, love, but I'm sober still
In your heart girl, there's nothing left but misery
Come dance while I'm getting free I'm gonna lie again

Cause there ain't no point in the words I write
There ain't no way to get me
But I sure was high when I saw your smile
But now your always, oh yes you're always gone girl

And all my senses seem to shine through the day
Seem to shine through the day, honey that's okay
Yes all my senses seem to shine in the night
Seem to shine in the night, honey that's alright

All my senses seem to shine in the night
Seem to shine in the night, honey that's alright
And all my senses seem to be in this song
Thinking all day long, honey what went wrong
Tell me what went wrong
Tell me what went wrong

mando diao - amsterdam

I was down in Amsterdam
Almost hurt myself to death
I pushed myself so hard just like the redlight girls
Well I cried and stopped to smile
I thought my career was over
And the dealer boys they had to bring me water

I stumbled over mountains
And the shadows of the street
I fell into the river
I cried and begged for mercy
And I talked to God on the telephone

But I really can?t tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
No I really can?t tell you what he told me
But it was a lie

When I came to Amsterdam
The hotel showed a movie
With Marlon Brando and his friend Pacino
Well I thought that this is nice
And I?m sure I can relax now
But suddenly the room was full of demons

I escaped through the window
Almost ran a mile away
I had nowhere to go
So I cried and begged for mercy
And I talked to God on the telephone

But I really can?t tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
No I really can?t tell you what he told me
But it was a lie

But nothing seems to matter
In this lonesome dirty town
But for a short brief moment
I thought she was the one
And she and I were fighting
About sex, love and TV
That?s why I had to get down
And talk to God on the telephone

But I really can?t tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
No I really can?t tell you what he told me
But it was a lie

mando diao - and i don t know

Jokeman was a baby
He preached specificted dates
and threw his clothes to charity
to collect them on sunday
embaressed by his nude
give him all his right parading the streets
And I don't know, Yeah I don't know where he's going
But I've got news for thoose who pray
Civil is his right, civil is his mainSTREET
Lady was a robber,
she sailed the thirteen seas
And fooling the authoroties?
Wandering 'bout her revol,
never feared the man
Superlady, superhero indeed
And I don't know,
Yeah I don't know where she's going
But I've got news for thoose who pray
Maniac to you, rolling in and out
Never less to give, Yeah never less to give

mando diao - annie s angle

I was a stoned drunk silhouette of my past
I lost my nerves when he took me on
He was this high-healed smooth talking middleclass bastard
Who tried to stab me for where I was from
And though his words was covered in yesterdays mud
The boys around him laugh his way
But on the parking lot where I was born
He didn't come to play

No he didn't dare to stay

You think you're better than us
You think you're better than who
You think you're better than Annie's angle
You think you're down with the people who laugh when you frown
And then move from ground to ground

You think you're better than us
You think you're better than who
You think you're talking to Annie's angle
You think you're down with the people who laugh when you frown
And then move from ground to ground

Such a pit no one's hurt from your punch
Must be a drag to look so debased
On the other side you've still got your kids to die for
So why take it all out on me
That angry look doesn't suite your face
You've got your medals in a box
And on the telly there's this leader saying
Blame it on the boss

You've got to blame it on the boss

You think you're better than us
You think you're better than who
You think you're better than Annie's angle
You think you're down with the people who laugh when you frown
And then move from ground to ground

You think you're better than us
You think you're better than who
You think you're talking to Annie's angle
You think you're down with the people who laugh when you frown
And then move from ground to ground (3x)

mando diao - bleecker street

Fog's rollin' in off the east river bank
Like a shroud it covers bleeker street
Fills the alleys where men sleep
Hides the shepherd from the sheep
Voices leaking from a sad cafe
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On bleeker street
A poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy, holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On bleeker street
I heard a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustaining
It's a long road to caanan
On bleeker street
Bleeker street

mando diao - blue lining white trenchcoat

I've got my Armageddon boots,
brown shades and brand new leather suit
Blue lining, blue lining, blue lining
white trench coat

I sue my own intelligence
I wear it down til' the bitter end
Blue lining, blue lining white trench coat

Oh I'm going down with the sun
Oh I'm going down, down, down with the
falling sun

I'm rapid like a heart attack
You see its soul in the shades of black
Blue lining, blue lining blue lining
white trench coat

I'm burning, like a combat zone,
so sharp my senses cutting stone
Blue lining, blue lining blue lining
white trench coat

Oh I'm going down with the sun
Oh I'm going down, down, down with the
falling sun

I lost my love in a hurricane
I've got no choice but to go insane
Blue lining, blue lining blue lining
white trench coat

I've got my Armageddon boots,
brown shades and brand new leather suit
Blue lining, blue lining, blue lining
white trench coat

I don't think I can wait any longer
I will slowly die of hunger
I want it so bad that it hurts just to
admit my desire
And I'm going down with the sun
I'm going down, down, down with the
falling sun

mando diao - bring em in

I've gotta climb this mountain, yeah, I'll deal with you later
If you burst into laugh then I will ch- ch-ch-choke you with my cough
I am better of dead, I'm rolling high and I'll be gone for tomorrow

So copying styles if you're a ?one of a kind?
Oh Yeah! Alright!

Tough looking star, painted in black, smoothed in white cream
Sing lazy songs, lyrics haven't been the same without it
And when the lunatics are coming in the late afternoon, I will comfort me

With saying that I'm just a ?one of a kind?
Oh Yeah! Alright!

And when the lunatics are coming in the late afternoon, you may comfort me by saying that you're all by a tune, and you will say: I wander what's so wrong about it, I wonder what's happy about it, I want it now and you will never be alive!!
I want it now, but you were never my kind,
So cry at night when the band pullet out

mando diao - chi ga

She can smell her next day, but it ain?t gonna work if I cross her mind
The latest news this weekend, man got raped, she replied, I?ll go out for bread

Chi Ga -only she knows how to step forward and when it?s gonna come to an end
Chi Ga -only fast women can describe her attempts and when it comes to an end
Then she got...

Chi Ga?s building towers to protect her from those who is paying her bills
Never works on Wednesdays finds it hard to believe her drinking is well

Chi Ga -only she knows how to step forward and when it?s gonna come to an end
Chi Ga -only fast women can describe her attempts and when it comes to an end
Then she got...

Then Chi Ga...

mando diao - clean town

Clean Town

You wanna worship its feelings
The ones who?s squeezing the shame from every man
And if mama says it?s dinner time,
if she ruins your love, run away
So you live in a prison
Oh so you?re wasting your life
On a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama?s alright she said she didn?t want you love
Clean town if you want to get away,
you pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni?s alright she said she didn?t want your love

Won?t you walk down the main street
Take the bridge over never ending rails
And even if you?re falling down
That?s an open door to the outside world
So you live in a bubble
Oh so you?re wasting your life
On a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

Clean town if you want to get away?

You can drive to the east cost
Disappear for a while
Put the band-echo on, then we?ll give him a ride
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

Clean town if you want to get away?　

Won?t you get away?

mando diao - come on come on

If you like to get in touch with me someday
I know just what you'll say
useless empty words
You close your eyes and try to talk me
through
no matter what you'll do, you know I'll
be just fine

So come on come on
dress me like a queen
confuse me, even steal my inner feelings
come on come on
change the way I've been
just hold me down, abuse my mind forever

you held me down that night so long ago
I knew you sold your soul
to that devils hole
and I was a part of licking tears from you
no matter what you'll do, you know I'll
be just fine

So come on come on
dress me like a queen
confuse me, even steal my inner feelings
come on come on
change the way I've been
just hold me down, abuse my mind forever

come on come on, come on come on, come
on come on,
come on come on
dress me like a queen
confuse me, even steal my inner feelings
come on come on
change the way I've been
just hold me down, abuse my mind forever

mando diao - crystal

Fade away...
All that we have dreamed of
Bergman said it all,
the magic is in the fall, so true...

When you see him tell him all that you
don't know
all how much we've grown
so I cry but like always, I don't feel
that much in here
so I sit by your side just to be near you
oh lord please don't take him yet

Now you're gone, you're with angels
I will soon come visit you
and talk about, the time we had together
and our town is filled with tears

Don't feel bad while you're there
life was only sad sad while you were here
filled with rage and fear
and now I sit by your side
but you can't hear me
you can always count on me

don't feel sad, you're with angels
I will soon come visit you
and talk about, the time we had together
now our town is filled with tears

so I sit by your side
although you're not with me
when I comfort you, when I come to you

and like always, RIGHT HERE BY YOUR SIDE

don't feel sad, you're with angels
I will soon come visit you
and talk about, the time we had together
and our town is filled with tears

mando diao - cut the rope

Cut The Rope

Bad boy-Jimmy says where it?s at?
Down the hallway of kids playing flipper with the Jax
And the tax for the trench coat I bought
Measures up for the fines that we paid today
And for those who couldn?t run away
Well they got beaten up and thrown in jail

And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope

Here?s your money for all that I?ve done
E?s and lizards broken pistols and the promise about the sun Get it on!
All this brag about us
Measures up for the shit that we wrote today
And for those who couldn?t get away
Well they got beaten up and thrown in jail

And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope

No the bastard?s on their way
They have been reading too much crappy but then again
I ain?t that lucky bloke they?ve read about
I am a lone star, cut it again...

Bad boy-Jimmy says how do you do?
Down the hallway of kids playing poker with the fools
And they loose every dime they?ve got
But it?s good for us ?cause we got paid today
And the brothers that couldn?t get away
Well they got beaten up and thrown in jail

And we never cut the hope
?Cause we never cut the rope?
