Freak
At the start of the night
you seem fine
but as the night rolls on
you seem to lose your mind
I can’t turn a blind eye
because it happens all the time
and it’s all out war
when you hit the floor
I can’t do those moves
I can’t dance like you
just wind up standing there
like a fool
standing there not knowing what to do
CHORUS
You’re a freak
You’re a freak on
You’re a freak
A freak on the dance floor
You can’t slap my ass (No it’s just not right)
it’s not very lady like
I hear the four on the floor
start edging towards the door
Violate my human rights
every Friday night
Why can’t I just stand at the bar
Why can’t I just watch from afar
instead you’re in my face
right in my personal space
Violate my human rights
every Friday night
I don’t want to dance with you no more
CHORUS

Try To Get Together
You caught me looking through your dress
I could tell weren't impressed
My conversation
tried your patience
your irritation
didn't help at all
CHORUS
Try to see it my way
all i have is good intentions
Try to see it my way
all i need is your affection
Try to see it my way
doesn't have to last forever
Try to see it my way
Let's just try to get together
I might be drunk
but I'm still cool
Like a German
I know the rules
It's not like I wanna kill you
I just wanna fill you full of love
CHORUS
Make this town a better place
put a smile back on my face
put your number in my phone
watch me stumble home alone
CHORUS

Best Of Me

I wish I didn’t have to admit defeat
but I know when I've been beat
Get back up on my feet
I swear, I swear, you’ve not seen the last of me
CHORUS
So so so
looks like you’ve got the best of me
So so so
looks like you’ve got the best of me
Nobody’s making excuses
somebody always loses
Next time it’s you my friend
you’ll be feeling it, you’ll be feeling it
CHORUS
There’s a lesson in this
and when I find out what it is
I'll fill you in, I'll fill you in
so we both know yeah
CHORUS

STUCK IN LIMBO
You think that you are free
then you go wandering
You won’t get far before you know
there’s no escape from who you are
Keep on running but you forget
these things about yourself
Have to live through the night
before you can walk in the light
Ah Oh Eh Oh Eh Oh Eh Ah Eh
Stuck in Limbo
Always a slave to your bad self
no one is self righteous my brother
Let the positive keep you alive
and help you survive

I WISH I WAS YOU
I know you don’t need luxury
it’s just one of the perks
You’re a man of the people
it’s just the way the system works
If they give it you take it
that’s the way that it is
You seem so well acquainted with the nature of things
CHORUS
I wish I was you
I wish I was you
I wish I was you I really do
I wish I was you
They all love the system you found
You’re the toast of the best part of town
Seems like you don’t do anything
but it still comes rolling in
If they give it you take it
that’s the way that it is
You seem so well acquainted with the nature of things
CHORUS

Conspiracy
When the walls of the world shall fall
the eyes of evil men shall show no mercy
their tongues test for rainfall
but not a single drop shall fall on them
They might make the law
they might break the law
they make brothers kill each other
sisters kill each other
let me tell you something
you do it for good you get it right
whatever you do
do it well
Hello what’s the story
Tell me whats your story
Everyone’s got a story
whether black or white man
you better tell me now
Oni dede o saworo dede ofun, ofun ki eyin ipakhore rodorodo iyare dobo,odaguntan,
paralata wamota para onide wamode pe pe pe o... onide wamode re

SOMETHING’S GOT ME THINKING
Must be the mood I'm in
got me wondering
where the hell you’ve been
While I was on the subject
I thought about it
thought about you and me
It just came to me
but come to think of it
it’s not such a crazy idea
CHORUS
Something’s got me thinking
Something’s got me thinking about you
Something’s got me thinking
something’s got me thinking about you
Something’s got me thinking
something’s got me thinking about you
Something’s got me thinking about you
Something’s got me thinking about you
This opportunity
right in front of me
never occurred to me before
How could I miss
something so obvious
obvious as this
Sometimes you think
the whole world’s gonna wait for you
it don’t wait for you at all
CHORUS
If I get the guts
I'll try to call you up
and tell you how it is
I hope this feeling lasts
and that I don’t slip back
slip back to the past

LIFE OF THE PARTY
We weren’t rich
we just borrowed it
at the time it seemed the thing to do
Instead of partying
we should have stayed in
then now things wouldn’t be so grim
A lack of foresight
a little oversight
I think we knew it all the time but
CHORUS
You and me we were the life of the party
we’d everything that the good times bring
You and me we were the life of the party
we had it all till we spent it all
Don’t read my mail no more
let it pile up at the door
you know they’re looking for you too
You can’t run away
someone’s got to pay
those cards won’t get you very far
You’re in the same boat as me
time to face reality
not like it used to be when
CHORUS
I’ve been down
deeper than down since you left
since you split
Nothing here but my low grade beer
I put the rest of you stuff in a skip
CHORUS
We used to live it up
We used to

YEMOJA
Please don’t go
Why you want to leave me when you promised to stay
You can’t deny what we had
Yemoja olokun o Yemoja
I can’t shake the past
I can’t forget what we had
remember vanity is all you got out there
I’m made strong now
because I see
what’s come to be
and I’ll still be searching for
Yemoja

MY PAST LIFE
How did we meet
I can’t recall
I know I never started this
such a long time ago
and I don’t want to reminisce
You come around
drag up the past
I was thinking, I was the last
There’s some things I just don’t want to remember
CHORUS
Thought I left you behind
you and my past life
now your back
back to remind me
of my past life
So cruel, me and you
when I think about the things we used to do
I think it’s best if you left
and we should never meet again
It’s all history
the man I used to be
and I don’t want anyone to remember me like that
I've got a new thing going on and it’s working out fine
CHORUS
Now finish your Quilmes and be on your way

NEIGHBOUR
They finally talked you round to their way
looks like the vibe is here to stay
now our eyes don’t meet
in fact you cross the street
every time you see me
In the shop I see you and smile
but you hide behind the aisle
and pretend to read a magazine
So this is the end my former friend
just pretend that you can’t see me
CHORUS
Neighbour Neighbour
why are we not able to put aside our difference for a while?
Neighbour Neighbour
don’t you think it’s time for
don’t you think it’s time for a change
CHORUS
I can smell your barbecue
and hear you laugh with you new friends
I’m down the road on my own
waiting for my bell to ring
I can see you
I can see you
I can see you through the fence
CHORUS
Isn’t it strange
we were friends yesterday
Isn’t it strange
how things work out this way
CHORUS
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
