Hypochondria
04:00

Doctor, I’m so happy to meet you
Not sure that I’m going to see this through
Doctor, I am aching all over
I’m sure that it’s double pneumonia too
What the hell am I going to do?
I’ve got an itch that needs scratching
I’m pretty sure that it’s catching
I promise you it’s not a lie that I’m hatching
I’m not a maniac (You’re just a hypochondriac)
It hurts when I breathe in too deeply
Butterflies churning me up completely inside
Heart beat’s completely erratic
No, I’m not being overdramatic, no lie
Why do I feel like I’m going to die?
Now I’m begging and pleading
My affliction’s deceiving
Now it’s got me believing
Hypochondria - it’s taken over control
…I’m over stimulated
…my pain’s not simulated
…I’m hypochondriated
—————————
Don’t want to burden society
With my major anxiety
But it’s just terrifying me
Hypochondria - it’s taken over control
…I’m over stimulated
…my pain’s not simulated
…I’m hypochondriated
C’mon doctor, now you’re making me frantic
Got the hot sweats, short breath, I’m starting to panic
Got me something to see me through the night
A chill pill, cheap thrill to make me feel alright
I’m telling you that it’s nothing contagious
What you mean? I’m being outrageous?
Don’t lock me up, stick me in therapy
When I know deep inside that there’s something wrong with me
…I’m over stimulated
…my pain’s not simulated
…I’m hypochondriated
You gotta help me!
…I’m over stimulated
…my pain’s not simulated
…I’m hypochondriated

She’s going nowhere, quickly, she’s in pieces
Distracted by an image, by ideal faces
Walking backwards, falling, forever changing
Her mind in a world of her own
She’s dreaming, always, of better places
Of a new existence, leaving no traces
Of her ever being the girl with no one to love
Oh she’s…got no place to go
Her whole life’s on show
Just wanting to leave
It all behind her
Now she…lives out her dream
Just like a scene
From her favourite movie
But will she ever see
Her falling star to wish upon
That falling star to dream upon
She’s going nowhere, quickly, she’s in pieces
Distracted by an image, by ideal faces
Walking backwards, falling, forever changing
Her mind in a world of her own
She’s dreaming, always, of better places
Of a new existence, leaving no traces
Of her ever being the girl with no one to love
So she…sits by her window in hope
For someone special to show
Day after day
But he never comes her way
So she climbs up the stairs
To the place she knows where
She can escape from it all
In her daydreams taking her far away
From the loneliness of her everyday
She’s going nowhere, quickly, she’s in pieces
Distracted by an image, by ideal faces
Walking backwards, falling, forever changing
Her mind in a world of her own
She’s dreaming, always, of better places
Of a new existence, leaving no traces
Of her ever being the girl with no one to love
No one to love

Hard Driven

You try so hard, you're so motivated
You cry so hard, 'cos you're so frustrated,
Take a break, you better be sedated
Ooooh, hard driven
You need it, you feed it
Ooooh, hard driven
You want it 'cos you're so hard driven
You push yourself with determination
And you pride yourself on your motivation
Ooooh, hard driven
You need it, you feed it
Ooooh, hard driven
You want it 'cos you're so hard driven
You want it 'cos you're so hard driven
Push it, push it, push it, push it
Push it, push it, push it, push it
Push it, push it, push it, push it
Push it, push it, push it, push it
You can do it
You can beat it
You can fight it
You can defeat it
'Cos you're
Hard driven
Hard driven
Hard driven
Hard driven
You want it, you need it,
You feed it, 'cos you push it!

Terminal
She waits for me,
I’m lost inside the massed anonymity,
It’s time, time to leave,
Departing through the gate, through security,
Sad separations, new beginnings
Mixed emotions live,
In the terminal
Tears drown your eyes,
I’m carrying our baggage across the miles,
Until reunion comes
Arrival gate won’t hold me from your arms
Sad separations, new beginnings
Mixed emotions live,
In the terminal
In the terminal
In the terminal
In the terminal
We’ll reminisce
Never forget our homecoming ritual kiss
No more goodbyes
We’ll never again be living separated lives.
In the terminal
In the terminal
In the terminal
In the terminal
In the terminal

I saw you... I liked you... I admired you... I fell for you...
I met you... I talked to you... I smiled at you... I walked with you...
I....
I held you... I hugged you... I tasted you... (when) I kissed you...
Chorus:
I need you, I want you, I can’t live without you
I want you, I need you, I love everything about you
I need you, I want you, I can’t live without you
I want you, I need you, I love everything about you
I laughed with you...I cried with you... I’d fight for you... I’d die for you...
Chorus:
I need you, I want you, I can’t live without you
I want you, I need you, I love everything about you
I need you, I want you, I can’t live without you
I want you, I need you, I love everything about you.....everything about you
I....I love you
I....I’ll always love you
Can't live without you
Chorus:
I need you, I want you, I can’t live without you
I want you, I need you, I love everything about you
I need you, I want you, I can’t live without you
I want you, I need you, I love everything about you
I need you, I want you, I can’t live without you
I want you, I need you, I love everything about you
I need you, I want you, I can’t live without you
I want you, I need you, I love everything about you...everything about you...

Monday morning workday drudge again
Weekend’s over, it’s so yesterday
It doesn’t phase me, I’m on top again
My girl takes my mind so far away
I tell everyone, I’m in love with her
She tells everyone, she’s in love with me
We tell everyone, we love everything
We love everyone, everybody goes “Ooooh!”
Morning sludge, traffic’s backed up again
Too many frowns but not right next to me
She’s got a smile that sets me off again
I’m on a natural high when she’s with me
I tell everyone, I’m in love with her
She tells everyone, she’s in love with me
We tell everyone, we love everything
We love everyone, everybody goes “Ooooh!”
She turns my night into day
And she takes my problems away
She is the one that makes me say…
She makes me…Ooooh…
I tell everyone, I’m in love with her
She tells everyone, she’s in love with me
We tell everyone, we love everything
We love everyone, we love everybody
I tell everyone, I’m in love with her
She tells everyone, she’s in love with me
We tell everyone, we love everything
We love everyone, everybody goes “Ooooh!”

Superficial
03:35

She’s...returning focus to the camera
She’s...always grinning like a side-show clown, so
She...wants to be the centre of attention
So she...paints her make-up thick enough to choke on
Can’t reveal what’s below the surface
She’s performing in a social circus
Her finger’s in the pot-o-gloss to smear across her lips
She’s wearing high heels to accentuate her hips
She’s so.........superficial
She needs to know we’re looking so she starts a sing and dance
She wants to be somebody but she doesn’t stand a chance
‘cause she’s......superficial
She’s...always wearing someone’s label
She...only wears it once then gets her cash back
She’s...talking ‘bout her besty’s boyfriend
She’s...into sharing him behind her friend’s back
Scratch to see what’s below the surface
What you’ll see is a social circus
Her finger’s in the pot-o-gloss to smear across her lips
She’s wearing high heels to accentuate her hips
She’s just so.........superficial
She needs to know we’re looking so she starts a sing and dance
She wants to be somebody but she doesn’t stand a chance
‘cause she’s......superficial
(Look at me, can’t you see me pouting
look at me, can’t you hear me shouting
look at me, can’t you see I’m pretty
We can see, right through you, pity!)
Her finger’s in the pot-o-gloss to smear across her lips
She’s wearing high heels to accentuate her hips
She’s just so.........superficial
She needs to know we’re looking so she starts a sing and dance
She wants to be somebody but she doesn’t stand a chance
‘cause she’s......superficial

The Wave
04:54

The light, kaleidoscoping cavalcade
So bright, announcing the approaching wave…
Keep calm, it’s about to hit you
No use, I’ve no comprehension
Stay calm, don’t let it affect you
Nothing helps to ease the tension
In no time it’s going to get you
I’m about to fall, give me control…of it all.
No sleep, lie awake, I’m swallowed in too
Deep, the nausea comes sweeping over
Me, washed away, I find it hard to
Breathe, I’m fading from reality…
Keep calm, it’s about to hit you
No use, I’ve no comprehension
Stay calm, don’t let it affect you
Nothing helps to ease the tension
In no time it’s going to get you
I’m about to fall, I’ve lost control…of it all…of it all.
Hide behind your eyelid’s gate
No visuals, please don’t stimulate me
Close your mind, escape the aura
Switch off the neural paths before I…
(Breakdown)
Turn off the lights and start to fade away...

Luxembourg

Young boy spies his prey,
Grey pigeon moves away
Hot in pursuit arms mocking
the flocking birds...rise as one.
Old man, cane in hand
A promenade in the sand.
His companion in suit, arms holding, enfolding.
Walking together...as one.
Two generations, worlds apart,
but keeping their family close to heart.
