I used to be a genius but now i'm cured
thought i was alive but i was just fooled
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
And maybe it will rain today, it's anybody's guess
I think i'll run away and die just like the rest, but
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
I know i should have really tried to cry upon your shoulder
But as the time passed by i just seemed to get older
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
If things are different now, you know i'm truly sorry
I tried too hard and things fell down around me
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
Now we know just what we know, it isn't very much
I'm not sure what i can do to try and stop the rust
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near

Waiting For The Summer

Freezing cold but there's Sun
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
I like to feel safe in the happiness
I like to feel warm in the Sun
I dream about going on holiday
When the summer has only just begun
Freezing cold but there's Sun
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
I like to listen to the birds sing
I like to watch the passing clouds
I like to look at the trees with their leaves on
And know that the winter has gone
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me

I Could Be A Fly
03:26

Out of ordinary, wondering where
Away with the fairies, avoid the Sun's glare
You think i am Domini, spotted mink and i could be a fly
Don't you tell them my way results in Hell and debts to pay
You think i am Domini, spotted mink and i could be a fly
Yo podria ser una mosca
I could be a fly

People And Things
04:09

Peace time and the people are restless
Good times, they all rest less
there's more in grey than in black and in white
there's less wrong and much less right
Petty things, little things, things that just don't happen
Fickle things, stupid things, things that just don't matter anyway
In the day time they're all working
In the night time they're all sleeping
Till they finally all wake up and
See the light and stop
Petty things, little things, things that just don't happen
Fickle things, stupid things, things that just don't matter anyway
We will again feel the need to survive
The very joys of being alive
To breathe the air of our own free land
And on its hills and mountains stand
Petty things, little things, things that just don't happen
Fickle things, stupid things, things that just don't matter anyway

Psycho Killer

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and i can't relax
Can't sleep, bed's on fire
Don't touch me, i'm a real live wire
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa
Better run run run run, run run away
You start a conversation you can't even finish
You're talking a lot but you're not saying anything
Well, i have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa
Better run run run run, run run away
Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire, okay
We are vain and we are blind
We don't like it when you're not polite
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa
Better run run run run, run run away

Simple Simon

Simple Simon went down to his local DSS
They said "do you want money?" he answered them "yes"
They said "you'll get no money so just you go away"
"Do you think that we are paying you to work or just to play"
"You've got to prove you're looking for employment" they said
"You don't just think we're paying you for staying home in bed
"Four million unemployed in this country alone
So Simple Simon get a job, or just go home"
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair
Said simple Simon to the pieman "let me taste your wares"
Said the pieman to Simon "let me see your penny"
Said Simon to the pieman "no, indeed i have not any"
