Leaving All My Monsters
After leaving all my monsters
I was not prepared to meet
The wolves in Black Forest
That would frighten me so deep
After leaving all my monsters
I was not prepared to see
What my eyes would not forget, since it was me
It took me so long
To get this one
You can't run away
The creep just carries on
I can't say that now I'm happy
But I know my fear is real
And that means that I do really feel
It took me so long
But now I know
Feelings are alright
And monsters come and go
When I'm over all my monsters
In the future there with you
I will do whatever people do
When I'm over all my monsters
Our lives will be so bright
There's a light that never goes out
Shining in the night
I can't say that now I'm happy
But somewhere there's a light
That takes away my fears in darkest night
That takes away my fears in darkest night
That takes away my fears in darkest night

Garden
Treat me like you treat your garden
I will give you roses to complete
May their thorns then hurt your skin my darling
And my grief make you suffer and bleed
My poisoned flowers rush in your stream
Colours rot of dying afternoon
Golden brown as every sunbeam
Lunatic lights to come too soon
My summer dies screaming
Seasons fall in pain
Have I been careless
The bad seeds remain
And poison the harvest
Walk through me like through a mirror
In my heart there's love but it's stone cold
Winter sun in starving willows
Never kissed me as I was told
One pure snowflake causes me pain
Bleakness whitens hungry nights at home
Scars of starlight hit your blue vein
Leave me alone
I leave you alone
My lover you're freezing
The sun will rise tonight
Let me caress you
On your last flight
And rose petals be your rest

Mozart Machine
What's all this mastering, mixing of songs
Creatures are waiting if it's right or wrong
What's all about discussing tunes
Tell me soon
What's all about creativity here
Potions and powders and barrels of beer
Don't tell me how you will write a good tune
I want to hear it soon
Minutes, hours and dozens of days
In the studio passing away
All the time that you spend finding melodies
I just took and invented a Mozart Machine
Guitars and vocals, percussions of joy
This was composed with my glorious toy
Next time you're facing a problem with tunes
Tell me soon
Minutes, hours and dozens of days
In the studio passing away
All the time that you spend finding melodies
I just took and invented a Mozart Machine
It will generate from Mozart's works all new and beautiful
What you think you haven't heard before
The jingle jangle will love you more
All effects and background overdubs
Every day - day
Blooming away - away
The sound as a whole will all be a pleasure to you

She Offers Gold
Sascha:
The Viking's gone away to sail the silver sea
His bride was home alone with me
My bandmates came for dinner
The soldier and the sinner
She knew which one to choose, oh she
She doesn't like the sporty guys
She preferred the one that's chunky and nice
She wanted to get laid
And it should all be tonight
We got into a fight
Torben:
She_____'d offer gold for me
Pauki:
My bandmate left the minute right after they got in it
And so Torbi, me and she were alone….
All was blue and yellow
He's the lucky fellow
She said I want to fuck your friend at home...
I kept thinking that this wasn't all fair
'Cause I'm the one with the pretty hair
She wanted to get laid
And it should be all tonight
We got into a fight
Torben:
She_____ offers gold for me
Torben:
My friends, she didn't take me by the hand
Pleasing her was simply a command
The wisdom of the Viking's bride
Was distant from my bloodstream's fight
She pleased herself
My member was no help
My hand was inside her body so deep
Let me go____
The strangest situation
I felt like her creation
And I wasn't at all satisfied
The mistress started snoring
My hard-on was too boring
And I watched her rolling over my side
I really had obeyed her order
But I never crossed the border
With my soft machine that
She'd offered gold for tonight
She wanted to get laid
She____
Was it just a fantasy
She____
Has she really offered gold
She____offered gold for me

My Wife In Pieces
We had a little party
Me and my wife June
In our sweet sweet home in Dagger's Hole
We had a fuzzy drink
With ice from the sink
And my sweet June was wearing her pink mink
I cut the evening then
With my new and good knife
But what I cut was not the night
Since what I cut was my wife
She's here all in pieces
She's oh so beautiful
In our house in sweet home Dagger's Hole
"Who do you think you're fooling?
Your wife she's beautiful
And now she's scattered here in Dagger's Hole."
This said the old inspector
Inspected her and packed her
In plastic bags for household accidents
And if I hadn't shot her
I didn't have to cut her
Now she is scattered, my wife
It was a very good knife
She's here all in pieces
I'll never find
Another wife like her
She's on my mind
My sweet, sweet June, she's so kind
That's all the truth I say
"A hundred quid you pay"
Said the inspector I bought
It's just the most perfect fraud
I love my wife, she's so fine

New Hare
Children, so you starved your rabbit
After you have had it
Fed up with its life
Oh, mourn your pretty pet
That you never fed
Now that it is dead
We are here, we can't see you cry
So we will have to buy
A new hare, to see you smile anew
My little babies blue
A new Hare
For you
Children, you can be so savage
Bunny needed cabbage
Cotton candy food
Oh, bitter is your grief
Tears have soaked my sleeve
Now you will conceive
Chorus
Last night, when you glanced at the stable
You heard the blackbird sing
Heralding someone's death
You ran away, you were terrified
The blackbird sang its last song
And Bunny felt that something was wrong
My ears are long
My legs are strong
I am dead
Children, so you starved your rabbit
After you have had it
Fed up with its life
Oh, a new hare
A new hare
A new ___ hare

Jebus Was A Friend Of Mine
Jebus was a friend of mine
mmmmh
We got close, I called him mine
mmmmh
I sent him out for money
I said "fast, before you can change your mind"
Early on his feet, he's the queen of hooker street
Jebus, friend of mine
He came home with the money
For what money just can't buy
My bird had flown, his ego had grown
Soon a man of his own
Jebus walked the Fountain Street
mmmmh
Punters spread around he was sweet
mmmmh
He knew well how to please them
But Jebus still was mine
He's the big brass bone with a funky hormone
Jebus, friend of mine
Then one day in a basket
Mobus came along
A dirt cheap boy with a huge love toy
And our sweet love was gone
I lost my bone with the funky hormone
He was but one of a kind
Jebus was a tease, he decided but to please
No other than this Mobus guy
No more homecoming money
Cause money just can't buy
The love of a dude like the one I had with you
Jebus, friend of mine

I Don't Mind

I Don't Mind
I don't mind if I have trouble every day
But don't remind me of
I don't mind if my life seems so bad
Don't remind me of what I have done
I know my heart is alright with being sad
But what it cannot deal with is my old life
You will find that I am strange sometimes
And I seem not to be loving you
Because my heart feels trouble every day
It needs to be reminded of today
This tree has no leaves
- Let me reach out
My heart can still blow the tree
- It will finally shatter the time
It's now time to see the things that didn't matter
I must forget her
- What was on my mind
You're so kind I want to stay with you
I'm nearly fine when I think of today
I know your heart is here for me to find
I will make my death undone and start to love you
This tree has no leaves
- Let me reach out
My heart can still blow the tree
- It will finally shatter the time
It's now time to see the things that didn't matter
I must forget her
- What was on my mind
If you don't mind I want to stay
I'm nearly fine when I think of today
You know my heart feels trouble every day

The Moz
Hard to believe this
It's the best idea I've got so rough
I can't remember
How to write a song about a love
Hand in glove
Turn it off
I must be desperate
To take the lyrics as they come
And you must be crazy
Not to ask for better lyrics to come
Hand in bum
Turn it on
Every other member of the band's a lucky fool
Since the tune and all the rest of the song is cool
They can't see why it's a rather intricate affair
For me to find good metrics and a rhyming pair
Tobi, I'm crazy
I try to think of Morrissey
What would the Moz say
If he were struggling just like me
What would he
Be telling me?
"Johnny, Mike and Andy, oh, it's nice that they exist
But the only one who counts - guess, who is this?
Steven Patrick Me is King and that is only fair
Since to write amazing lyrics is a rather intricate affair."
Each of my good songs, well every one's a lucky fool
I believe that no one cares for the cool
For the cool
For the cool
For the cool
And the rather crappy lyrics rule
Tobi, I tell you, there's no one here who really cares for lyrics

Nuremberg Trial
In Nuremberg
We had a trial
Folded silver walls
Evoke our dream of iron hearts
Here when the judge walks past
The faces look
They know my crime
Blood on the walls
I think indeed my life will end
The time outside my past
So Germany, good-bye
Potatoes, wheat and rye
Half-timbered houses, cobblestone
The broken eagles fly
I make a plea
It wasn't me
A leader's mind is so
Another thing you really must know
It wasn't my idea
Oh Germany, so long
Cold-blooded soldier strong
Fabulous muscles steel to grow
80 million in a row
So Germany, farewell
What did I want to tell
Men's wretchedness in soothe I deplore
I can't plague no creature no more
No creature no, no more
No creature no, no more
