1 UNPOPULAR
I’ve always been unpopular
But I still want to be your friend
With you I’ll be more popular
So please stick by me till the end
At school I was unpopular
The last one they picked for the team
With you I’ll be so popular
It’ll really build my self-esteem
I’ll be less introverted
And get a sense of style
I’ll be incorrigibly upbeat
And when you’re sad I’ll always smile
The best advice I ever got
Was be nice to everyone
Well nice is one thing I’m often not
Since being cool seems way more fun
You know I’ll succeed socially
If you stick with me through thick and thin
And if your friends won’t talk to me
We’ll rent a movie and just stay in
I’ll be more extroverted
And get a sense of style
I’ll be lots of fun to be around
And when you’re mad I’ll always smile
I’ve always been unpopular
But I still want to be your friend
With you I’ll be more popular
So please stick by me until the end
At school I was unpopular
The last one they picked for the team
But with you I’ll be so popular
I’ll be living in a dream
2 MUSIK MACHINE
If I were a Musik Machine
I’d be the queen of the scene in a limousine
Well I could play you
And you could play me
And I could love you like a Musik Machine
Wanna sound just like Giorgio Moroder?
Well I got the mouth and you got the motor
In a laser beam
Or an electric dream
I could love you like a Musik Machine
Like Enrico Caruso on a gramophone
Or the ring tone that you call your own
Yes the music’s in you
And the music’s in me
That’s why I love you like a Music Machine
When we get replaced by a Musik Machine
And we’re the only two left on the human scene
Well I can play you
And you can play me
And I can love you like a Musik Machine
4 CATHERINE DENEUVE

You know where it’s at
Catherine Deneuve

In France or America

5 PAIRS
Nancy and Sid fast lives wasted
Sonny and Cher moustache long hair
Cheech and Chong put it in a bong
Richard and Liz got drunk on show biz
Doris and Rock faked Pillow Talk
Jules et Jim dead on a whim
Pairs, pairs, pairs
Bonnie and Clyde nowhere to hide
Jekyll and Hyde one suicide
Abel and Cain a brother slain
Adam asked Eve what she had up her sleeve
Pairs, pairs, pairs
Yin and Yang that was some big bang
Big Bang
Big Bang
6 HALF A MAN
They tell me it’s no good
To be the way I am
I would change if I could
But I’m just half a man
I’m not tough
But I’m stronger than
The kids that tell me I’m
Half a man
I get lost
When I can
When I come back I’m still
Half a man
Sometimes I get depressed
And think that I’m no good
And when I’m overstressed
Sometimes I wish I could
Act tough like
Most guys can
Well I’m not tough
I’m half a man
Can’t you tell?
I bet you can
Well go to hell
I’m half a man
I’m full of self-doubt
And negativity
I try to sort it out
And be completely me
Some things I didn’t choose
I had my life to live
I’ve got a lot to lose
And maybe more to give
I’m not tough
But I’m stronger than
The kids that tell me I’m
Half a man…
7 I SEEN THE DOG
I seen the dog
I ain't got one
That's just the way
Some people have fun
I seen the dog
And it made me feel good
Sometimes I felt like
Nothing else would
I seen the dog…
I can't go on
(Let's just go on)
I can't go on
(Let's just go on)
I seen the dog…
8 WHITE LIGHT
Your heart beat like a hammer
Your face was wet
I was getting to know you
But didn’t yet
Ddidn’t know who you were
But I was starting to learn
I put my hand on your forehead
And felt you burn
White light…
It kind of surprised me
You knew how to fly
You said you wanted my help
I said DIY
I didn’t think I could give you
What you wanted from me
And I had serious doubts
About security
White light…
That night we rode home
From the show downtown
You came in to hold me
When I broke down
Something had to give
And you made up your mind
To take a new lover
And leave white behind
White light…
Well we all have our demons
We all live in sin
And you can’t always control
The pain you’re in
But on a dark day
You can make a friend
In a shadowy tunnel
With light at the end
9 BIG FIRES
Big fires
Big fires
Big fires
Fuckin liars
Big fires…
Fires in Korea, fires in Iran
Atomic pyromaniacs are hot in Pakistan
Fires in Korea, fires in Iran
Bombers from the USA set fire to Japan
Big fires…
It’s not 1944
The A-bomb’s here forevermore
The nations need a new rapport
Diplomacy instead of war
It’s not 1984
The world is hotter than before
Terror is the new Cold War
So what are all these fires for?
Big fires…
10 I YOU ME
I want you want me
I want you want me
You know that I'm in demand
But you won't tell me where I stand
You may not be good for me
But you'll always be my chickadee
You're a bitch to satisfy
But if I lose you I'll just die
Hit me hurt me beat me up
And I'll still be your buttercup
I want you want me…
You know that I'm in demand…
With all the shit that I've confessed
I guess you know that I'm obsessed
I may be whiny, vain and greedy
But don't tell me I'm being needy
I want you want me…
I love you love me
