Am
Lyrics:
S. Tønnesen
Music:
K. Pettersen/S. Tønnesen
This
something is real
I’m the
only one here
Just
another kill on my own
To
forget
This
something is real
As the
room starts spinning
Unknown
faces grinning
I’m the
only one here
Just
another kill on my own
To
forget
And let
go
This
something is real
Outside: pain
and disaster
I’m
tamed by my master
He
tightens my seal
Reminiscence
of back when
All was
play
Bright colors
Life
will proceed while you time-out
Under a rug,
or over a cloud
Nothing
will heal what you’ve been without
Then
there’s that blue light chant
Chanting
too loud
This
slow motion I feel
I’m the
only one real
Shake a
little salt on my life
Rest in
peace
Tommy
Gunn
Lyrics:
S. Tønnesen
Music:
K. Pettersen/S. Tønnesen
First
off, I'm taller than I'm handsome,
and my
hairline's been receding since day one
My mommy
told me I was special,
but I
wouldn't keep it up the long run
"Son,
you're way too soon for this world"
Cut her
wrist while pregnant with her only son
To my
friends I'm known as Tommy
To you
and everybody else
I'm
mister....mister Gunn
A guy
walks into a Starbucks,
and
proceeds towards the counter, cuts the line
It’s not
the beginning of a joke
It’s the
story of why Anny had to die
"Well,
hello Tommy", said Anny
"Your
regular frappucino or just chai?"
So I
pulled my gun and shot her
Right
between her eyes
"It's
mister...mister Gunn"
I'm the defender
of manners
I'm the
last gentleman standing
As
society evolves courtesy dies
Well,
our flag burns once a day,
and the
towers have fallen down
Etiquette
will under my gun again rise
Rudeness,
meet your demise
Soon I'm
cuffed by the police
Though I
insist, the officer won't read my rights
So I
chuck forward, bite his chin, pull his face off,
spitting
out the bloody bites
Then I
take a run for freedom, while a voice screams "Tommy stop or die"
In
response to the motherfuckers
I turn
quickly point my finger
"I'm
mister....mister Gunn"
I'm the defender
of manners
I'm the
last gentleman standing
As
society evolves courtesy dies
Well,
our flag burns once a day,
and the
towers have fallen down
Etiquette
will under my gun again rise
Rudeness,
meet your demise
Lilly
Rose
Lyrics: S.
Tønnesen
Music: K.
Pettersen/S.
Tønnesen
Her laughter’s
the sound of worn razorblades
crammed
in clusters into ear canals
If there
were places to go I would leave her right now,
but I
know she's all I have
Her eyes
will fill up with deception at times,
and I
know her sweet whispers are lies
But I
hear her all out, comment with my eye brows,
while I
know she's all I have
Her
smile is the whore's, all seductive and vile,
and it
pulls like a hook in my spine
I’m not
forced to obey, I could leave her right away
but I
know she's all I have
Her
sorrow's the sea that will drown me some day,
when my
boat hits a rock far from land
If it
didn't repay, I'd be gone yesterday
But I
know she's all I have
Lily
Rose
I can't
keep them out
I'll be
boarding those doorways
I'll be
nailing them shut
Promise,
Lily Rose
Don’t
ever look back
Do you
miss the kicks he promised?
or the
cut he forgot?
Stay
inside with me
Stay
right here with me
Her
tongue is barbed wire that would coil down my throat
If she
twitches, my head will fall off
I would
roll down the stairs, but would learn nothing new
Cause I
know she's all I have
Her
knuckles turn white when I hold her arms down
in motel
beds while TV’s left on
If there
were places to go, she should leave me
right now,
but we
know we're all we have
Blackie
Lyrics:
T. R. Steen
Music:
K. Pettersen/S. Tønnesen
She was
my one true partner
She was
my one true friend
Her name
was Blackie; she would never let me down
Now I'm
standing on the porch
You're
not standing by the gate
The
plains are not the same without you dear old Blackie
Wish we
could ride again, ride again
Carry
on, carry on.
I know
that she is gone.
I
know that she is gone, yeah.
I never
thought that I could feel this alone.
I
need to carry on.
Blackie
she is gone, yeah.
When I
get up in the morning, sometimes it feels like you are near.
And then
I go outside and look towards the stable.
Blackie
I wonder where you are.
I
remember when you died.
Still
see you before me.
The way
you died for me, the way you saved me.
No horse
will be like you my dearest Blackie.
Carry
on, carry on.
I know
that she is gone.
I know
that she is gone, yeah.
I never
thought that I could feel this alone.
I need
to carry on. Blackie she is gone, yeah.
I want
to saddle you at sunrise and then ride home again late at night. Late
at night.
Carry
on, carry on. I know that she is gone.
I know
that she is gone, yeah.
I never
thought that I could feel this alone.
I need
to carry on.
Blackie she is gone, yeah
Everybody
dies
Lyrics:
S. Tønnesen
Music:
K. Pettersen/S. Tønnesen
Some
pass at will
Others
at random
We still
live and die alone
A
cleaner slate
Splitting
it two ways
Losing
sight until you’re old
The sun
will bleach
My
tainted sheets
And make
this day complete
AC
decelerates at night time
To make
me hear the distant screams
Bewildered
voices left in corridors
Left off
to haunt me in my dreams
And I
know it won’t be long until
the
medication’s off
So come
on God,
do your
thing
Finish
me off
Everybody
dies
The time of your demise
Everybody
dies
There is
no compromise
There is
no compromise
