Evolution Pop [2005]

sometimes i run away, so i can hide
sometimes i feel the pain, from very deep inside
your love's like soft warm wax, melting in my hands
mad desperation instead of relaxation

i often bury my pale face in my cold hands
my tired eyes are covered in deep shame

and then i think of you, as much as i can do
it's such a natural thing, to be charmed by you
but when i'm back again, i realize you're not here but...

far away... so far away!

sometimes a little word, can make things change
my confidence is gone, it feels so strange
my sense of security, is purely fake
call me the master, in the art of mistake

and then i think of you, as much as i can do
but when i'm back again, i realize you're not here but...

far away!

take me far away
take me far away
take me far away

but when i'm back again, i realize you're not here but...

far away... so far away
so far away... so far away

you may wonder how it comes
that i can sing such funny songs
it’s not as easy as it looks

i’ve learned a million silly jokes
i spend my time with stupid folks
and i refuse to read a book

ah ah ah ah ah

now i don’t even have to sing
’cos people now start giggeling
no matter what i say or do

sometimes all of this is not enough
no inspiration and no love
affects me like a jacky could

drink whiskey ’til i drop
drink whiskey ’til i drop
drink whiskey ’til i drop

whiskey ’til i drop
whiskey ’til i drop

whiskey ’til i drop
drink whiskey ’til i drop
drink whiskey ’til i drop

whiskey ’til i drop
whiskey ’til i drop

ah ah ah ah ah

your fridge looks empty, the clock won't rock
waiting for your money, the clock won't rock
tortured by toothache, cueing at the toilet
your feet are freezing, clock will ignore it

talking to your teacher, the clock won't rock
meet your boss for dinner, the clock won't rock
unemployment grabs you, on the top
when no one is with you, clock will stop

but when honey drops some love into the pool of life
and sun starts pouring in your darkest mind
when heat melts sadness and ice of pain
and time prepares to rush and hurry

it's time for curry!
it's time for curry

on a rainy holiday, the clock won't rock
jump-shit on TV, the clock won't rock
listen to reggae music, the heat won't drop
your football team is losin', clock will stop

when you put your arms around me, the clock will rock
if your smell surrounds me, the clock will rock
no time is left for taking the best
when life is over, time has been left

but when honey drops some love into the pool of life
and the sun starts pouring in your darkest mind
when heat melts sadness and ice of pain
and time prepares to rush and hurry

it's time for curry!
it's time for curry!

but when honey dropped some love into the pool of life
and sun started pouring in your darkest mind
when heat melted sadness and ice of pain
and time healed all wounds.....you've seen

it's time for sushi!
it's time for sushi!

it's time for curry!
it's time for curry!

jimmy was a boy aged 17
and he was the leader of a gang
but that was 20 years ago now he's a big shot
with lots of money on the bank
pam his wife is nice and beautiful
and almost as old as his daughter
she likes expensive clothes and expensive cars
if i was nasty i'd say that he bought her

why do all the women always want bad guys
is nasty behaviour an indication for dick size
why do all the women always want bad guys
ruthlessness and success, that's the formula for good sex

they met eachother in a discothéque
she was dancing with a boy named ben
jimmy claimed he'd stepped on his snakeskin boots
and jimmy fought for his right with bare hands
later in hospital ben got the news
jimmy was not gonna sue him
when jimmy hung up the phone
pam just went on
caressing jimmies tatooed skin

why do all the women always want bad guys
is nasty behaviour an indication for dick size
why do all the women always want bad guys
ruthlessness and success, that's the formula for good sex

jimmy and pam had romantic nights
and jimmy never slapped her too hard
than he told her 'bout his tough childhood
and when he cried he touched her deep in her heart
one night he promised he'd be hers
forever this sentimental sinner
and she didn't mind that the ring he gave her
was sticking on it's owner's finger

why do all the women always want bad guys
is nasty behaviour an indication for dick size
why do all the women always want bad guys
ruthlessness and success, that's the formula for good sex

every time i turn my radio on
blood flows outta my ears and my aggression pumps up
every time iI hear these same old songs
forgotten music withers up and my decision grows strong

this old universe needs a new style
and from now on no one should be denied

they still don’t pay attention to the beat
they move their fingers only to repeat
we’ll burn our radios, and load up our sites
and blow ska through all night

their music’s so fantastic
so sturdy and elastic
my underwear change everyday
but this ska music they’ll never play

their music’s so fantastic
so sturdy and elastic
my underwear change everyday
but this ska music they’ll never play

everywhere in the world i hear this sound
venezuela, russia, italy, japan, turkey, usa
these people lose their hearts in rocksteady beat
and power ska music all through the day

they always know where to go
they mistreat their local radio

computerized body and soul
fresh music for a deep black hole
burn your radio, watch out for our page
celebrating ska age

their music’s so fantastic
so sturdy and elastic
my underwear changes everyday
but this ska music they’ll never play

their music’s so fantastic
so sturdy and elastic
my underwear change everyday
but this ska music they’ll never play

their music’s so fantastic
so sturdy and elastic
my underwear changes everyday
but this ska music they’ll never play

their music’s so fantastic
so sturdy and elastic
my underwear changes everyday
but this ska music they’ll never play

old music’s sometimes dusty
old iron sometimes rusty
my underwear is fresh and sober
cause ska music is never over

we’re playing for your attention
and paying to be mentioned
we’re definitely on our way
so common join us or stay away

parents tell you that you’re late for school
it’s always hard to learn the rule
i know it ain’t easy when you’re wild and young
so you say to yourself i’ll be out and gone

tryin to move your feet
seeking for the love you need

fighting to keep your pride
hopin to reach the night
tryin to make ends meet
so you gotta keep up with this rude boy beat!

rude up your life - it’ll be gone someday
rude up your life - what else can i say?
rude up your life - you should start today
rude up your life

rude up your life
rude up your life

a lotta people asking what this life’s all about
i can’t tell you but there’s one thing without doubt
when it gets heart to heart with ska people and this band
i’m sure we all know what it means and do without we can’t

you gotta make it worth while
make sure it ain’t a denial

you need to lay your own track
you gotta bring the roots back
i know it’s gonna take a while
but you gotta keep up with this rude boy style!

rude up your life - it’ll be gone someday
rude up your life - what else can i say?
rude up your life - you should start today
rude up your life

rude up your life...

i'm a gangster of love, but baby that's what you made me
for a natural human desire, you can't supress
when the law is too strict, one might have the feeling he can't breathe
when the fence is too high, a hole makes your flight a success

don't stash me away, like something you make no use of
don't let spiderwebs and dust be, our love's last coat
have no fear of the water, you might have to jump in
it may not be clean, but it's not poisened by soap

legalize love – express yourself
legalize love – don't put it on a shelf
legalize love – baby help yourself
legalize love

what are you saving up, your qualities for
what precious target, makes you pay this price
you are no bounty, this is to be your harvest
accept your luck, before it slips away, if you're wise

your skin looks soft, every viewer has to admit
but it's hard like a shell, i regret to say
it's tough enough to face the wind and water
but every shell will open up, one day

legalize love – express yourself
legalize love – don't put it on a shelf
legalize love – baby help yourself
legalize love

usually we sit, when we’re watching it
abruptly we jump up, and scream
we know the latest kicks, we know the latest tricks
it’s so easy to score a nasty goal

football we adore you
there’s ain’t nobody like you
and football we really hate you
right from the heart we do
and if you don’t care, sit down and shut up
we’re tryin’ to win the cup

football, football, football is taking over
football, football, football rocks all over

the strategy is clear, we just need some more beer
a penalty kick, or a helping hand
the referee is paid, opponent players straight
if we don’t do it by ourselves we’ll never win

football we adore you
there ain’t nobody like you
and football we really hate you
right from the heart we do
if we were coach, we’d crank our players up
cause champions win the cup

lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala lalala

and if we don’t win, our world will be messed up
please take us to the pub...

football, football, football is taking over
football, football, football rocks all over
football, football, football is taking over
football, football, football rocks all over

football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football

there’s always somewhere to go
there’s always something to know
there’s always something to hide
and always things to find

there’s always something to mind
there’re always things far behind
there’s always something to fear
rush it might disappear

i’d like to blow these clouds away
to make sure we get no rain
and let the sun shine on your way
to guide you through the day

i’d like to blow away your doubts
to make sure you do without
and replace ’em with this refrain
to light you on your way

there’s always something to change (always something to change)
and usually in two million ways (usually in two million ways)
but which one will make your day
you choose the wrong one anyway

no time to sleep or hug (no time to sleep or to hug)
no time to catch your luck (no time to catch your luck)
prepared all day and night
but time is always tight

i’d like to blow these clouds away
to make sure we get no rain
and let the sun shine on your way
to guide you through the day

i’d like to blow away your doubts
to make sure you do without
and replace ’em with this refrain
to light you on your way

you were young, it was a long way to go
that's what you thought but it was shorter you know
you had it made when you were 21
and all at once all your sorrows were gone
so you thought who cares about rules
you little smart ass said: rules are for fools!

boogie nights in spring
and a slow blues in winter

boogie nights in spring
and a slow blues in winter

now you're as old as your parents when they told you what to do
and you realize most of it is true
you must have been someone special indeed
with all the parties, cars, girls and weed<br
big tips for every little waitress in town
the sound of cash was a wonderful sound

boogie nights in spring
and a slow blues in winter

boogie nights in spring
and a slow blues in winter

most of your friends are dead or broke or in jail
no more "new york, new york" you sit around and wait
in a flat in a town
where no one knows your name
knowing that you're just living too long for this game

boogie nights in spring
and a slow blues in winter

boogie nights in spring
and a slow blues in winter
boogie nights in spring
and a slow blues in winter

boogie nights in spring
and a slow blues in winter

hey you, what's your plan, before it's time for lunch
found a company, or close down a whole branch
try to rule the world, cos you've got the brains
and when things go wrong, you're not the one to blame

no dream too big no aim too high
take what you need to reach the sky
short people sometimes wonder why
but you don't have to be so shy

you're big...

our blueprint is your phantasy
your secret wish our destiny
you build a castle and destroy
the whole big thing like it's a toy

you're big - big boy

tell me what's enough, a country or the world
you say who's to die, or only to get hurt
just a playground, for the global players
hail, hail, hail to you and our global slayers

no dream too big no aim too high
take what you need to reach the sky
short people sometimes wonder why
but you don't have to be so shy

you're big...

our blueprint is your phantasy
your secret wish our destiny
you build a castle and destroy

the moonlight is so bright
what a sin not to dance
on such a wonderful night

the music is so right
for dancing real tight
for our private delight

hey little girl come and dance with me
don’t be afraid of your folks to see
i’m a rude boy and you’re with me
hey little girl come and dance with me

you’re so sweet like good weed
and i can feel your heart’s offbeat
dressed neat on their seats
your folks say i’m just looking for fresh meat

hey little girl come and dance with me
don’t be afraid of your folks to see
i’m a rude boy and you’re with me
hey little girl come and dance with me

i went out to get some bread this morning
all of a sudden without a single warning
my neighbour thought it's time to spend an hour
talking to me 'bout his garden fowers

i walked the dog rain had started falling
i met this woman and she started talking
bout' this dog disease the name she didn't know
than i went home and drank my coffee real slow

life ain't nothin' but a merry-go-round
life is like a swimming pool
life is different from a slot machine
you get what you want or you don't

i drove to work like i do everyday
a pedestrian was about to cross my way
i saw him late but in the end
i stopped my car and we became friends

at noon i stopped by in my favourite pub
my favourite soup was steaming in the pot
i ordered one i got it and guess what
i tried it and i think it was too hot

life ain't nothin' but a merry-go-round
life is like a swimming pool
life is different from a slot machine
you get what you want or you don't

life is a permanent progression
everyday there are new impressions
life is colorful and amazing
like a slow-motion stock-car racing

life ain't nothin' but a merry-go-round
life is like a swimming pool
life is different from a slot machine
you get what you want or you don't

life ain't nothin' but a merry-go-round

when your trails are troubled
and your day is hard
everything’s against you
right from the start
when there’re enemies around you
and no friends to see
feel my love whenever you think of me

take your soul back home to me
take your soul back home to me

when you’re talking to the walls
so clean and white
when you’re walking through the jungle
of a big city’s night
in the dead of the night
in the heat of the day
there’s no ugly place
where your thoughts have to stay

take your soul back home to me
take your soul back home to me

when you lost your way
wherever you roam
each step you might take
is a step back home don’t care for the rocks
that are thrown in you way
my love will be there
to make your day

take your soul back home to me
take your soul back home to me
take your soul back home to me
take your soul back home to me
