Freak 02:45
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
2.
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
3.
Best Of Me 04:08
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 (free) 04:34
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
5.
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

Nadia 05:43

Conspiracy 04:54
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 CHORUS
9.
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
10.
Yemoja 03:17
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
11.
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
12.
My Past Life 03:03
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 CHORUS
13.
Neighbour 04:39
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
