Same Same 03:13
Of course I ain’t seen the whole world, and I will never step on every land. And I ain’t no prodigy, don’t expect me to solve a mystery But I do work you out, in no more than a glance Coz your body speaks so loud, so clear to the senses. And I know that And everybody here is just “same same” And every Friday nights are like an old game We all expect to catch up the train that just left And we all get so easily tired of our mates. For sure I will never sail on each one of the seven seas. You’ll die of depletion before I answer any great question. But I get the way you dress, the way you move Sounds to me like a hundred breaking news And I know that And everybody here is just “same same” And every Friday nights are like an old game We all expect to catch up the train that just left And we all get so easily tired of our mates. And as soon as you pop in I’ll make you fit in one of my boxes. Coz Mama told me And everybody here is just “same same” And every Friday nights are like an old game We all expect to catch up the train that just left And we all get so easily tired of our mates.

Looking at the past years, Standing on the shore, staring at the sea Hoping for the day, I wouldn’t be alone, Waiting for the ocean to bring my man home. All that I left, Sacrifices I’ve made, I’ll never regret. Huge, Cold & Deep is the Big Blue, But I know what’s inside my heart is true. And I’m sure this feeling will never go dry That we will last like stars in the sky Because there is nothing that time can do Coz even the Ocean won’t break us in two. And one sweet morning Am I still dreaming, Is it you darling? Telling me “babe, I came back for U Hope you still dig me ‘coz all I want is you”. More than a fancy A delicacy, you’re my dependency And in all the places you want to sail to You say it’s only worth it if I’m with you. So I’m sure this feeling will never go dry That we will last like stars in the sky Because there is nothing that time can do Coz even the Ocean couldn’t break us in two.

The Ties 02:58
I have everything but a strong will, no, a strong will, I don’t. Can’t say “no” to anything, anything at all My friends know I can’t refuse a shot, a double, or more. Poor brain has so many softspots I can’t ignore. So why the hell would I refuse one more? Bring the ties tonight I’m getting hooked, getting strung on you Bind me up for now my only drug is you Squeeze me tight until I feel numb Knock my brains I wanna feel dumb Bring the ties tonight I’m getting addicted, getting addicted to you. You can add to my vice list every piece, every piece of you. Time to make the weak weaker, there’s nothing new I feel like getting out of control, doing dumb stuff When truth is such a bore, need a dopamine rush. And who cares about the day after. Bring the ties tonight I’m getting hooked, getting strung on you Bind me up for now my only drug is you Squeeze me tight until I feel numb Knock my brains I wanna feel dumb Bring the ties tonight I’m getting addicted, getting addicted to you.

Boy, you’re just like my guitar All the time, in my mind And you never give a reward. To my care you stay blind. Staring at my phone Can’t get a word from you Can’t really function Body feels weak & blue Just like a child I could cry for your goods Coz no one’s that fine, And trust me I’ve seen all the hood. Boy, you’re just like my guitar All the time, in my mind And you never give a reward. To my care you stay blind. And music’s a bitch You give your life to it But can’t learn all the tricks And still often play shit. But being treated like that Is what works for me So ‘bout the way you act, Boy, you got the key. Boy, you’re just like my guitar All the time, in my mind And you never give a reward. To my care you stay blind.

Golddigger 02:36
Hey Gold-digger, Taking pride on your past Hey Gold-digger, Things have changed, years have passed Hey Gold-digger, confident in yourself Don’t tell me you believed all their tales Hey Gold-digger, They are dozens like you Hey Gold-digger, they’re all as good as you Hey Gold-digger, just because you were first Don’t mean you know how to make it burst. Hey man, bone up, Pickaxe Deep down, Inside, Extract Dig up, Exhume from the dark Nothing, There’s nothing, zip, zero Hey Gold-digger, Keep in mind for next time Hey Gold-digger, the body lies, love is blind Hey Gold-digger, you’re just a fool Don’t tell me you believed in jewels Hey Gold-digger, What happened once is dead Hey Gold-digger, no you don’t get to claim Hey Gold-digger, you’re replaceable Don’t tell me you believed you were gold.
