Boring Days at School
Reading biology just seems boring to me
It's just mythology, as silly as it can be

Our teacher's forcing us to be there,
which doesn't matter, cause we don't care
Five days a week, on a rock-hard stool,
too many boring days at school

Reading calculus is an utter waste of time
I'll manage with minus and plus, and I rather waste a rhyme

I wanna get out of here; it's true!
I want to spend my time with you
Five days a week, not exactly cool,
too many boring days at school

Reading philosophy only makes me depressed
It's pure hypocracy, and our teacher thinks he's the best

There are better ways to have fun:
let's leave; let's run!
Five days a week, feeling like a fool,
too many boring days at school

Coffee, Cookies and Nice Dinners
The snow is covering the trees, it's so cold it makes me sneeze,
and every time you go out you need heaps of shirts to keep you warm
I heard it won't be over soon, I heard it will keep snowing
I want to bring some friends out, and look at all the girls in skirts

Where is the summer?
I've been waiting all too long
I'm longing for green grass,
and coffee in the park

Electronic Renaissance (lyrics by Belle & Sebastian)
Play a game with your electronics,
take a step to the discotheque and people
Go outside where there's someone watching cars go by,
and the city tall with steeples

Hand in hand with the Electronic Renaissance is the way to go, yeah
Hand in hand with the Electronic Renaissance is the way to go, boy
Hand in hand with the Electronic Renaissance is the way to go
You're learning, soon you will do the things you wanted,
since you were wearing glitter badges

If you dance for much very longer,
you'll be known as the boy who's always dancing
If you work for much very longer,
you'll be known as the boy who's always working

Monochrome in the 1990's, you go disco and I'll go my way
Monochrome in the 1990's, you go disco and I'll go fucking
Monochrome in the 1990's, you go disco and I'll go Funkadelic, man
Is the way to go,
so drop a pill and then say hello

Four Wheels
Riding on my skateboard is the only joy there is,
it is one thing i would miss (if I didn't have it)
Dodging obstacles while pushing up the speed,
skateboard is my only need

Some cuts and bruises, constant aching in your heels
Who cares when moving on four wheels?

Grinding on a banister to satisfy my soul
Can't stand still, I've got to roll; i'm a young rascal
Feeling like Icarus: I never touch the ground
That is why I hang around

French Mathematician Theme, Part One
They're creative, on weekends they write happy songs

From London to Panic
All I see is dark clouds, the sun has gone away
My friends have left the city, another lifeless day

I can't think about anything but you,
about everything you said and what you do

I Don't Want to Feel Stupid
Today my friend was here and we played some trombone,
he desparately tried to teach me some melodies
It took us two hours and I still can't play them,
I feel incredibly stupid

I don't know what's wrong

I just can't learn them no matter how hard I try
I don't want to feel stupid, no I don't

Kevin Rowland
Today I had my worst show ever
our band couldn't play and our singer couldn't dance
What is the point with everything and all
when you don't have fun when it all comes around?

I don't want to sound like Dexy's Midnight Runners
I'd like to sound like the 14 Iced Bears
I don't want to sound like Dexy's Midnight Runners
I'd like to sound like Fairways or the Autocollants

I know you want a trumpet, and a trombone and a sax,
and I know that you want to play that northern soul
Come on, we're a popband we shouldn't be using brass!
Although I think it's nice in I.D.W.T.F.S.

I don't want to sound like Dexy's Midnight Runners
I'd like to sound like Poundsign or The Aislers Set
I don't want to sound like Dexy's Midnight Runners
I'd like to sound like Softies or Henry's Dress

Mary, oh Mary!
We decided to meet in the park,
I grabbed my tape recorder
We brought a thermos of coffee,
and a box of chocolate-chip cookies

First it was a joke but then it all changed,
and now we are deadly serious
First it was a joke but then it all changed,
into what it is today

We sat down on the ground,
talking about everything and nothing
We were watching the jugglers in the park that day,
and decided to do something about it all

First it was a joke but then it all changed,
and now we are deadly serious
First it was a joke but then it all changed,
into what it is today

Monday
You slowly walk into the room,
and that is pretty much my doom
After a weekend by myself,
I wish I'd never seen you

Monday, blueday

After school I watch cartoons,
I hate that fucking "Looney Tunes"
It reminds me of your shoes,
roadrunners gives me the blues

Monday, blueday
I still feel ill
Monday, blueday

Ode to the Code
You can't have written this song yourself,
not a science guy like you

Didn't you know my heart has got more than a single side?
Didn't you know your birth was the day that prejudice died?
I'll just keep my fascination for the science and magic around

I wanna grow up to be a programmer, I do!
Grow up to be a code poet, I will!

Thought you were the one who fancied theory
You shouldn't be into art, that's sick!

But what if I want to die or cry or make you laugh?
What if my feelings can't be expressed through a graph?
I'll just keep my fascination for the science and magic around

I wanna grow up to be a programmer, I do!
Grow up to be a code poet, I will!

I'll just keep my fascination for the science and magic around
I wanna grow up to be a programmer, I do!
Grow up to be a code poet, I will!
I wanna grow up to be a programmer, I do!
Grow up to be a code poet, I will!

Shrimps
Last night I saw a friend, we tidied her apartment up,
and she said it smelled like whale
I asked her how she knew how whale smelled,
and she told me she had smelled one once

We lay freezing in her sofa by ourselves,
and then I rode the bus back home

We went out for some chinese food,
and I made a fool of myself
I felt like dying she nearly couldn't fetch the bag with
fried shrimps and soursweet sauce

We lay freezing in her sofa by ourselves,
and then I rode the bus back home

Epileptic japanese shouting and waving,
we waved goodbye and ate the remaining shrimps

We lay freezing in her sofa by ourselves,
and then I rode the bus back home

Waffle Breakfast With The Fermats
Wake up, roll out of your bed, embrace a new day
Get those bad thoughts out of your head, let's do it our way

Two cups of milk and two cups of flour,
add two eggs and some baking powder

Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
have a waffle, or maybe two
Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
Come with us, we'll share with you
Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
eating waffles is what we do

Melt some butter in a frying pan,
mix it all together and be a real man

Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
have a waffle, or maybe two
Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
Come with us, we'll share with you
Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
eating waffles is what we do
Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
have a waffle, or maybe two
Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
Come with us, we'll share with you
Waffle breakfast with The Fermats,
eating waffles is what we do

White-Blue Light (hidden track)
There's something in my room that is breathing
A creature, breathing like a human being
Close my eyes, or gaze into the light?
There's a white-blue light-pulse just within my sight

Dreams of stars are travelling my mind
A vision of a presence I can't find
Thousands of galaxies too small
Starleaps in the shadows of God's hall

Transpararencies and squares of black and white
A glittering giant of endless might
Wake up my son, you're going to be late
I'm on my way, wait, just wait
