Track Name: Teflon Child
Start digging your grave

It’s not the end of the world

So make some mistakes
And start over again

Let's play with my shaft
And listen to MSTRKRFT

Start digging your grave

Banned from every bar
Slapped by every girl
The end isn’t far
It’s not the end of the world

So make some mistakes
And start over again

Let's play with my shaft
And listen to MSTRKRFT
Track Name: Of Boredom
We’re tired of sitting on our ass
But I’m sorry the time just won’t pass
We watch to much television
We must really be hungry for attention
We tried drugs
We tried alcohol
We tried getting rid of the boredom
It must be something that is in our blood

Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love
Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love
Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love
Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love

We’re tired of waiting for the phone
Well in fact, we’re just tired of being alone
We tried to eat away our frustration
But there’s not enough food in the nation
Like something we try to forget:
Even though everybody’s naked
Nobody seems to be having sex

Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love
Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love
Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love
Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love

There must be something with my brain
But please can I see you again
Must be something wrong with my head
But please can we have sex yet?

Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love
Now I know why we’re so bored
Seems like nobody these days is making love
Track Name: Everybody Hates Me Now
She dissed me in the paper and she was all like see you later
Just cause she’s a critic she acts as if she’s better than this
Call me narrow minded but her parties looked like Dawn of the Dead
She gives you bad reviews but then she’s coming on to you

She destroyed me in a week
Everybody thinks that I’m a freak
That girl’s trouble, and how!
Everybody hates me now
She destroyed me in a week
Everybody thinks that I’m a freak
That girl’s trouble, and how!
Everybody hates me now
And I want to quit her now
But I don’t know how
She destroyed me in a week
Everybody thinks that I’m a freak
That girl’s trouble, and how!
Everybody hates me

When she comes to my show she says I sound like a Nintendo
Look at the way she moves her feet, she can’t quite follow the beat
She wrote about me on her blog, saying that I act so smog
Last night I was giving her head, but that of course will never be said

She destroyed me in a week
Everybody thinks that I’m a freak
That girl’s trouble, and how!
Everybody hates me now
She destroyed me in a week
Everybody thinks that I’m a freak
That girl’s trouble, and how!
Everybody hates me now
And I want to quit her now
But I don’t know how
She destroyed me in a week
Everybody thinks that I’m a freak
That girl’s trouble, and how!
Everybody hates me
Now
Track Name: One Heart Why?
I was secretly in love with my bunkmate
I was 18, she was 25, her name was Kate
I worked all night at the counter where she worked all day
In the worst youth hostel on earth, somewhere in LA
We had an hour in-between shifts for us to eat and wash
We’d use it to play music and talk talk talk
And so she’d let down her unwashed hairs, under her fitted cap
I have never seen a sight as pretty as that

She said I don’t think that you got what it takes to be a rock star
You wouldn’t be one to smash a guitar on stage
You’d maybe be the kind to fix one
I said “Don’t you think my music makes me attractive?
That was my only hope”
She said “Uh… No. But I think you’re sexy in a weird kind of way”
I said “Oh well, fair enough”
2, 3, 4

You got 2 ears, 2 lips, 2 eyes
2 sets of tears when you cry
But only one heart, why?
2 nipples and 2 testicles
Got 2 wheels on a bicycle
And one only one heart, why?
Got 2 shoulders to cry on
5 fingers to hold a crayon
But only one heart, why?
It seems you should have one to spare
Even light bulbs come in a pair
And me, only one heart, why?

It was her last night in the city, she was leaving on an airplane
The next day, we knew we’d never see each other again
It felt like her last night on earth, her face was like a shipwreck
I could see through her t-shirt her Day-Glo underwear’s
We agreed to drink til we would reach the state of disomnia
Even though I couldn’t drink in the state of California
We smoked 400 000 cigarettes and ever since I’ve never been the same
“You’ve bitched since the moment we met” she said
“Either you do something or you stop your complaint”

She said “You’re such a dandy you know, you talk about death
But you wait for a golden pole
Baby, damn!
To hang yourself”
And saying that she kissed me on the mouth
2, 3, 4

Got 10 fingers, got 10 toes
We cut our hair and back it grows
And only one heart, why?
The blood is flowing in my veins
At 160 BPMs
And only one heart, why?
They got those 2 scoop ice cream cones
I’m always plugged on 2 earphones
And only one heart, why?
I heard that a skeleton
Has 206 bones
And me, only one heart, why?

We got out, the warm rain was falling into the dark pool
She took me by the arm to the dorm room
There was fog everywhere, everything was blue
Her clothes were getting damped with the morning dew
We made out in the elevator
It was free falling
I could tell next morning would be sour by my stomach with it’s butterfly flying

I said “Looking at you in the eyes
Is like a car crash
I try not to look away
But it’s just to hard”
She quietly undressed with me under the sheets
When I woke up she was gone and I felt relieved
I don’t mean to say that I think about it everyday
But when I do I wonder
2. 3. 4

I’m living between 2 cities
Got double personalities
But only one heart, why?
I tried to fraternalise
And I wound up with 2 black eyes
But only one heart, why?
You had about 100 wives
10 000 lovers in your life
But only one heart, why?
Girls have two faces I despise
And on each side they got 2 eyes
And me, only one heart, why?
Track Name: My Room VS Your Room
On the way to your room, every step of the way
There are bones on the floor that tell a story
There’s one for every man that you use to know
Who let you down and you had to let go

On the way to my room, every step of the way
You can see on the floor bits of lingerie
Each one is for a girl who let me down before
And so I had to let go by the trap in the floor
But I

I don’t want to let you down
I don’t want to let you down

On the way to your room, I try not to look down
But I can’t help but see lying all round
The bodies of every guy that you’ve ever met
With their spine sticking out of the back of their necks

On the way to my room try not to ask yourself
If you’ll end up in a bowl on the top of my shelf
Today I might use you as a rebound
But tomorrow I’ll serve you for supper to my hounds
And I

I don’t want to let you down
I don’t want to let you down

And you told me we’d be famous
And you swore that I’d be fine
You swore you’d love me better next time around

And you told me we’d be faithful
And I swore that I’d be yours
Well, I guess it’ll be for next time if we have time at all

So I cannot take you back
Not in the state I’m in
If this is goodbye,
So long, fare well, auf wiedersehen

On the way to your room, every step of the way
There are skulls on the floor with candles in them
One for every guy that you ever knew
That didn’t meet his agreements with you

On the way to my room, if you care to go on
Just make your way through the stepping stones
It’d be too bad though if you fell in the dark
Cause then I would have no choice but to release the sharks and I

And I
I don’t want to let you down
No I
I don’t want to let you down
Although I
I don’t want to keep you from hangin’ around
But I
I don’t want to let you down
Track Name: Call Me Yesterday
If you don’t know my name
Just call me yesterday

Yesterday and today
Was it meant to be that way
I’m still waiting for you to come home
I wait every night in the dark by the phone

All the girls are so easy
They all want a piece of me
But I still feel like I owe you something
So I stay home with mixed feelings

Just call me yesterday
My heart is in maze
Break my heart today
It’s funny, it’s OK
It’s funny, it’s OK
Just call me yesterday

Lying naked on the living room floor
I’m still thinking of before I tried to let go of you
But I just don’t know how to forget you
I still can feel the weight of your head on my shoulder
I still smell the morning after
That we spent together
I swept the floor of my apartment 10 000 times
To get rid of all the tiny bits of you
But there’s nothing to do

Just call me yesterday
My heart is in maze
Break my heart today
It’s funny, it’s OK
Call me yesterday
If you don’t know my name
Just call me yesterday

And I hate you for putting me through
The heartbreaks, the headaches
Everything that makes me want to pull the plug on me and you
But I’ll be strong and I’ll go on
Just to show you and to spite you

Woman after woman
An endless string of one night stands
Why can’t I just be a man
And forget about you

Just call me yesterday
My heart is in maze
Break my heart today
It’s funny, it’s OK
Just call me yesterday

It’s funny, it’s OK
Just call me yesterday
If you don’t know my name
Just call me yesterday
Track Name: Daylight Saving
It seems there’d be a better way
When nothing is going OK
You waste your days, you work the nights
You’re waiting for the light
the light
the light

You hold my hand and I start to cry
I lay wide awake at night
You don’t have blinds but that’s alright
I’m waiting for the light

I’m waiting for the light
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for
the light
the light

I’m getting fed up with the moon
I wake up at five in the afternoon
The sun as set, Oh what a fright
I’m waiting for the light

I don’t need you to turn my light on
I just need you to try and get along
And I miss you, you don’t even realise
Cause every time I see you
You give me this sad smile
And it kills me, baby, learn to prioritize
All this effort and I can’t even pull a wink out of your eyes
With all the arguing, the questioning, the fighting, the answering
I can’t even get you to make blink
The light on my answering machine

You pawned your soul to make the rent
But tomorrow will be different
They are forecasting a sunny day
I’m waiting for the light
Track Name: Heart Attack
We used to think it was gone
We used to say it was over
We used to leave it for dead
We used to say we would never fall in it’s trap

But now she’s calling me baby
The whole thing’s driving me crazy
But now she’s calling me lover
My whole world’s turning over
She’s asking me if I’m faithful
But I can’t speak with my mouth full
She’s asking me if I need her
And I don’t know what to tell her

Cause I’m not like that
No
I don’t want to go back
No

That’s probably a good thing
That’s probably a good thing

We used to think it was gone
We used to say it was over
We used to leave it for dead
We used to say we would never fall in it’s trap again
But now love’s back
Stronger than ever
It’s here to destroy us
We must fight it together

Cause now she’s calling me baby
The whole thing’s driving me crazy
Cause now she’s calling me lover
My whole world’s turning over
She’s asking me if I’m faithful
But I can’t speak with my mouth full
She’s asking me if I need her
And I don’t know what to tell her

Cause I’m not like that
No
I don’t want to go back
No
I was raised better than that
Better than that
Track Name: Straight To DVD
Trying to build something meaningful with a girl I met online
I think she is very beautiful
At least that’s what I gather from the pictures on her profile

Trying to build something deep
But I don’t see it happening
There’s not a soul that takes me seriously
Oh, when will they realise there’s nobody better than me

And I can’t say that I’m surprised
Cause lately I felt so out
And I’m behaving like a child
With girls who confuse kissing and mouth to mouth
to mouth
to mouth
to mouth

Yeah, would it be so bad if I missed it

Trying to build something meaningful with a girl who’s never there
I think I’m getting a bit too old
To hang around on her backseat while she’s driving with her friends

Trying to live something deep
History isn’t on my side
When they will make a movie about me
I can’t be sure but I think it might go straight to DVD

And I can’t say that I’m surprised
Cause lately I felt so out
And I’m behaving like a child
With girls who confuse kissing and mouth to mouth
to mouth
to mouth
to mouth

Yeah, would it be so bad if I missed it
Track Name: Soldier Love
I need a girl that’s like a soldier
I need a girl that’s like a soldier
I need a girl that goes out and fights
I need a girl that isn’t afraid of life

I need a girl that’s like a soldier
I need a girl that goes out at night
I need a girl that takes her gun and her knife
And fights all through the night to save my life

I need a girl that’s like a soldier
But all the girls are just so immature
I need a girl that’s like a warrior
I need a girl that won’t take no as an answer

We need a girl that’s like a soldier
We need a girl that won’t surrender
We need a girl that’s like a soldier
To save us
And leave nothing behind her

But I am so tired
Of fighting alone
But I am so tired
I’ve done all that I could but it’s never enough
You know that I would
