Wake Up

as i open up my eyes
and i see you by my side
feeling sane, i just arrived
and i'm glad you waited
i could stay here for endless nights
forgetting 'bout what's yours, what's mine
oh, the heaven is in you
don't be afraid, i mean it, too
i see your face has changed by now
don't panic, it's not the first time
i know about your secret life
about those „friends" you try to hide
but there's too much there outside
so i can't let you waste my time
to wake up
to wake up
i know about your secret life
i can't let you waste my time
to wake up
to wake up

i never said you're handsome
though we both know you are
(yes it was hard to write this,
but i always work hard)
you say i always show off
i never said i don't
but at least i've something
i beg you to ask someone
to throw your T-shirt, oh
you look like a bus driver
but i suppose you're not?!
i'd never mean to hurt you
you know i'm not that kind
even though, i don't mind
all your life
is to make the time to pass by
all the time
make it easy
is all your life
to make up all those lies?
all your life
i know i should be thankful
'cause without you i could not
write a song about you
teddybear, my love
i couldn't cite a bad thing
about the way you live your life
(i bet you're fan of Mogwai)
all your life
is to make the time to pass by
is all your life
to make me angry?
is all your life
to make up all those lies?
all your life

i never thought, i cannot find the words describe the last 3 months
i didn't know, on ther bus 341 on my way home
i didn't know, when you told me i need have lost 5 kilos
i didn't know, when i took a final look „and that was all"
oh, you never hide away your feelings i see
oh, you couldn't make it and you say it's not your fault
i know you're wrong, it's not a song about the things i missed or lost
i never hoped, but you told me where i really want to go
you'll never know, i won't tell you what i want to let you know
so you'll never know, you'll never know
oh, you never hide away your feelings i see
oh, you couldn't make it and you say it's not your fault
but you can't get the point
you'll never know

so you tried to fool me
but it's too late now
i can't let you to fuck up
my summer nights
'cause the thing with the bike
well, it wasn't nice
if you slam the door
you slam your door again
nothing will stop me from slamming you
slamming you in the head
you always laughed about
the pain inside
now it's my turn to laugh at you
fat cow
if you slam the door
you slam your door again
nothing will stop me from slamming you
slamming you in the head

Birthday Girl
03:57

I see you always do believe
In everything you’re told
And you’re always keen on me
It makes me love you more
Just draw another horse
It makes me love you more
If you draw another one
Life was always good to you
So don’t you care who’s gone
If you think it’ll be the same
It makes me love you more
Just draw another horse
It makes me want to know
Just draw another one
I hate these emotions
They always make me feel absurd
I never tell her, but
I know I’ll always be there for her
You’re happy now, but
One day you’ll find out
Who’s your dad, birthday girl
My birthday girl

I was the first

You think you find the words that you’re looking for
And justify the things that you thought before
Now your place is fix in the rebel team
Never think about the SMS you sent to me
You can’t s say I didn’t forgive your war
Even though we both knew that you were wrong
You were disappointed by my policy
But can you tell me what’s the difference between you and me?
You left me the way
That's always the same
Making me feel I don’t belong here
You think that I fail
I think that’s OK
But I was the first who came inside, yeah
You think I’m kidding but we had a common goal
I know about the things what you never showed
Recognise my words in a web magazine
If I were you I’d be afraid to know what they mean
You left me the way
That's always the same
Making me feel I don’t belong here
You think that I fail
I think that’s OK
But I was the first who came inside, yeah
You want me to stay
And to call it a day
But I always will be back to you
I’ll be back to you

even though i'm young i'd rather stay at home
than listen to the dumb mabye it is wrong
but i'm more interested in some mindless Tv-soaps
please don't keep me in mind
you never told me what principles you've got
they're oh so working class i want you to stop
i'm not a bloody mike you're talking into right now

They should've said an apology
they never knew what you're about
if i should tell you what i mean
i'd say your name without a doubt
make it happen
make it happen
and if you're sure you start again
don't let unsung you've got inside
get high
not today, but right now
i hope the '60s ciome again
but not to live again the past
i hope you'll join me to celebrate
the talent takes over at last
make it happen
make it happen
and if you're sure you'll start again
run 'til you reach the orphan sky

The Sea
03:32
|

|
I wish it was Sunday and how I wish I was alone
I could ride to the sea like I used to, just to be calm
I’m recalling that day, amazed by the waves, as I’m sitting here
I know I would never go home
We fed all those seagulls with chocolate cookies from your hood
Though it was our favorite, we didn’t mind it at all
And oh, by the way we were drifted away, I know you felt the same
The sea stays the same but we don’t

Ébredj
04:24
|

éveket ugrottam át
boldogan eszmélek rád
meg sem érkeztem talán
nem szoktál még hozzá?
csaknem egybenőttünk már
nem tudom, mi tartozik hozzám
új életet alkottunk
nem tudom, hol is tartottunk
hirtelen megváltoztál-
de hiszen előfordult már?!
minthogy erre már jártál
de vegyük át még egyszer
túl sok dolog vár kint rád
nem hagyhatom, hogy itt hagyjál
hogy ébredj
ébredj

azt sosem mondtam rólad, csak rosszul hallhattad
bár az is igaz lenne, de most másról is szó van
azt mondod elszálltam, ezt sosem tagadtam
más nem maradt magamnak
kérlek dobd el végre a csíkos mackódat
még buszsofőrnek néznek, pedig nem az vagy?!
válassz inkább engem, ha megbántódtál
mert lojális maradtál
ha nem tudsz mást
és pont unatkoznál
menj inkább, vár a kólád
ha nem tudsz mást
nem kell, hogy felhívjál
ha nem tudsz mást
e dalt ezt neked írtam szülinapodra
hogy időben megkaphasd – „Teddymackómnak”
ez alkalomból mi rosszat mondhatnék?
csak a Mogwai-t ne szeretnéd....
ha nem tudsz mást
és pont unatkoznál
hát nem tudsz mást,
hogy felbosszantsál?
ha nem tudsz mást
nem kell, hogy felhívjál
ha nem tudsz mást

Ennyi volt
04:08
|
|||
|
tudom jól, sokat vártam tőled nincs is ezzel gond
te azt mondod, úgyis fogynom kellett volna 5 kilót
az nem úgy volt, ha tudom, nem látlak többé meg sem fontolom
az nem úgy volt, hogy visszanéztem még egyszer és „ennyi volt”
mondd ha tévedek, de ez másképp látszik
szerintem kudarc volt ez, csak jól titkolod
nem tudod jól, sosem bánom meg, hogy Londont otthagyom
nem aggódom, majd te megmondod, hogy mit is gondolok
máshol volt, miről azt hittem, majd itt megtudom
de ez nekem jó, ez nekem jó
mondd ha tévedek, de ez másképp látszik
szerintem kudarc volt ez, csak jól titkolod

megpróbáltál húzni
de túl késő már
mert nem hagyhatom,
hogy felbasszál
és ha úgy gondolod, még feljebb áll
nem hallottam jól
mondd csak még egyszer
és semmi sem tart vissza attól,
hogy jól megverjelek
mondd, ki kért meg rá,
hogy beszóljál?
ha elköltözöl
ne is szólj hozzám
nem hallottam jól
mondd csak még egyszer
és semmi sem tart vissza attól,
hogy jól megverjelek

régen úgy voltam, hogy meg is hallgattam,
amit nem úgy gondoltam későn kapcsoltam,
hogy több az izgalmam egy TV-s szappanban
inkább ne is gondolj rám
sosem gondoltam, hogy elveid vannak…
a proliknak nem szoktak nekem ne mondjad
ez nem nyilatkozat a déri zsoltnak
inkább ne is gondolj rám

nem kéne annyit küzdeni
ha ismét rólad hallanánk
ha egy szóban kéne mondani
én Egri Jánost mondanám
hiszem, hogy eljössz
hiszem, hogy eljössz
s ha mégis újra kezdenéd
félúton most már meg ne állj
törj át
ha fáj, hogy nincs más
itt ’60-as évek sem volt még
a többit szóba sem hoznám
hogy akit ünnepelhetnénk
nem az, ki hatással van rád
hiszem, hogy eljössz
remélem, eljössz
s ha mégis újra kezdenéd
ne állj meg a sztratoszféránál
