LYRICS - THE UNBEARABLE
LOUDNESS OF STUPIDITY
MAYBE I BUILT A WALL
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beerholder
you said out loud with a smile
but that changed all
when you realised
that we needed it more than you
I don’t need anyone to feel alright
and I cannot recall
if I saw you
when I was here
maybe I built a wall
just for you
maybe I have not spent
time thinking ‘bout you
Beauty is timeless but I’ve got no time
Gotta spend some more money, fine
can someone buy
me a little time
cuz I need it more than you
I don’t need anyone to feel alright
were we friends once before?
I am not so
sure anymore
maybe I built a wall
just for you
maybe I have not spent
time thinking bout you
about you
maybe I have not spent
time thinking bout you
DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT
I’m indifferent, I’m indifferent
but I don’t care, at all
nobody cares what I’m wearing outside
yet I spend as much time as a first-time bride
nobody cares if I am cool or not
yet I have at home stored, a quite expensive skateboard
my skateboard’s great, my skateboard’s great
but I can’t skate, at all
I’ve got a record player, makes me feel cool
but it is for display only, I’m such a tool
i buy a hipster hat despite being old
but I soon realize, that my ears are so cold
this is my moonlight, and I’m dancing til its bright
this is my moonlight, I’m myself and its alright
I’m indifferent, I’m indifferent
but I don’t care, at all
this is my moonlight, and I’m dancing til its bright
this is my moonlight, I’m myself and its alright
HAPPINESS
I check my phone
And I check it once more
Right after that
I check it again
I check my phone
But there is no update
I check again
Not feeling great
What is it all for, you know?
Why do I get up today?
What is it all for, you know?
Do I waste my life away?
How can I avoid more stress?
How can I find happiness?
How can I not be a mess?
Or at least a little less?
I check my phone
I’ve almost forgotten
I am at home
Feeling alone
What is it all for, you know?
Why do I get up today?
What is it all for, you know?
Do I waste my life away?
Why do I work so damn hard?
Why do I mow my backyard?
Why do I drink so much wine?
Why am I always online?
How can I avoid more stress?
How can I find happiness?
How can I not be a mess?
Or at least a little less?
FALLING APART
when the whole world seems against you
there is absolutely nothing you could do
in your view everything black will stay black
abyss one step away
falling apart is also an art
letting darkness in to start healing
start anew when you are ready to
know we will be here for you
none of this is your fault but you
have to find a way to solve it anyway
look around, there are colours everywhere
start to redraw your life
falling apart is also an art
letting darkness in to start healing
stop looking for a sign
recolour line by line
making mistakes is fine
always ahead
further ahead
falling apart is also an art
letting darkness in to start healing
start anew when you are ready to
know we will be here for you
if the grey sky drags you down
don’t look at it if you feel like you might drown
don’t ever quit
help is everywhere if you can say yes
farewell despair
SIMPLE LIFE (FEAT. THE KIND HILLS)
I just want a simple life
I can walk with you there’s no reason to drive
And your words and company mean more than gifts, to me
When I feel alone no thing
Can warm up my heart like all the love that you bring
Let’s go out for a walk in the fog
We don’t need more
I just want a simple life
I don’t need stuff to feel alive
Shopping, ordering, pay and pay
Then throwing it away
GEEZER LEMONADE
Somebody told me long ago that
Dreams cannot be destroyed
Finally I had all the courage
and I got self-employed
When I build up on the sidewalk,
and I sell my lemonade
and I give it all I got, I’m not afraid
Organic and fresh, hand squeezed with sugar or not
They’re healthy and good and also don’t cost a lot
Crafting a sign more beautiful than
Any sign done before
Beautiful cups in different sizes
So they will come back for more
I smile at all the passers-by
and try my best to persuade
They will be astonished by my lemonade
Organic and fresh, hand squeezed with sugar or not
They’re healthy and good and also don’t cost a lot
Nobody wants to buy geezer lemonade
I’m glad that I tried, now I’m back in my old trade
JUST ONE LAST DRINK
Your party is alright
But one beer’s enough
One more drink
One more drink
One more drink
Just one more
My intentions they are pure
Then I drink too much for sure
This will be the greatest day
For you and me
This will be the greatest day
This will be the greatest day
This will be the greatest day
For you and me
Why, why am I still here?
I could be in bed
One more drink
One more drink
One more drink
Just one more
My intentions they are pure
Then I drink too much for sure
This will be the greatest day
For you and me
This will be the greatest day
This will be the greatest day
This will be the greatest day
For you and me
ZERO REGRETS
cant always feel fine
always feel fine
always feel fine
I don’t wanna cry
I wanna smile
thinking of you
all of the beers that we had
and for every moment I’m glad
the sun is out
now the city has lost all its pull
can it become again beautiful?
Jury is out
can’t always feel fine
always feel fine
always feel fine
I don’t wanna cry
I wanna smile
thinking of you
something was special alright
and I had many plans on the side
it seemed so bright
and we’re driving around anywhere
for the rest of my life that’s just fair
zero regrets
can’t always feel fine
always feel fine
always feel fine
I don’t wanna cry
I wanna smile
thinking of you
ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DRUNKS
I work a lot I take it serious
I lead a team I’m imperious
I love it all, I can play hardball
when I am off I like to work out
Sunday is church, I am devout
cook healthy food, relax with a stout
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
like me
if you’re too strong we will laugh at you
not at your face, we’re not crazy
we wanna stay alive like jay-z
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
like me
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
like me
all of my friends have girlfriends or wives
we all live ordinary lives
in the old days, we were the high-fives
when we are out in local hip bars
we do not talk about fast cars
we don’t comment on a ladies’ arse
all of my friends are truly great
we are way too drunk to debate
dinner at eight
but when it’s eight
they are all late
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
like me
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
and all my friends are a bunch of punks
and all my friends are a bunch of drunks
like me
BREAKFAST WITH BILLY
my Kentucky holiday
was quite lucky gotta say
I met bonnie prince billy
and he seemed so kind to me
asked me if I want coffee
his stories are much better than mine
all best things happen
down by the river
and I feel so free
world is good to me
today
I sigh
he told me his favourite bird
we tried to solve a crossword
our lives are all we got
and we both like them a lot
different lives but we’re the same
will Oldham is just a decent guy
he shows me a place
down by the river
and I feel so free
world is good to me
today
I sigh
BY MY SIDE
My TV’s broke
so am i
not a joke
I’m not a bear
can’t afford
cut my hair
yet she stays right by my side
and her smile is big and wide
she can see something in me that I can’t even if I tried
I like to play
Pokémon
every day
she’s into me
but in bed
I’m lazy
yet she stays right by my side
and her smile is big and wide
she can see something in me that I can’t even if I tried
yet she stays right here with me
and she’s smiling happily
she can see something in me that’s on the inside, it must be
I don’t know much but I do
I’m lucky I have you
when I’m down you get me up
just like a real grown-up
you’re beautiful and I’m a mess
together we’re the best
oh yeah
LYRICS - FUN CRUMBLES EP
QUIET TIME
waking up to the bird sounds
waking up with the world
morning air, fresh and healing
quiet start to my day
but then my family they wake up
they want so many things from me
and while I’m almost losing my mind
somehow I'm pretty happy
it is late, moon is up high
i doze off with the world
but then my family they wake up
they want so many things from me
and while I’m almost losing my mind
somehow I'm pretty happy
there is no me-time
there’s only you time
but that is totally fine
there is no me-time
there’s only you time
but i am on cloud nine
I am
I SHOULD BE SAD BUT I AM NOT
when life gives you lemons they come with a citrus allergy
don't you act surprised and don't dwell in self pity
I should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
i lost almost everything that has ever been dear to me
finding joy in all the little things is the key
I should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
I should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
I should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
should be sad but i am not
A YEAR WITHOUT BEER
It’s been the best year of my life
Always much fun I felt alive
But friends and wife tell me I’m juvenile
And they say I need to take a break for a while
I watch the clouds in my backyard
Feels pretty nice like a postcard
But like a postcard it gets boring fast
And while it’s okay I am not having a blast
I am dry like a desert
And boring like one too
And I am an introvert too
Didn’t know
I am having deep discussions
And I’m thinking about my life
Doesn’t mean that I sleep any better
I didn’t care about the superficial blur
I don’t know what to do
As I’m waiting for you
To return to my life some time real soon
It is nice to be here
With my friends and with you
But it could be even better with beer
So many weeks and months have
Passed and I’m still here
But I feel it’s getting time to
Getting back after a year
And I feel it’s getting time to
Drink a beer
But my friends they do not agree
And neither does my family
And my wife shows me her dispraise
Cuz I have been dry just for days
AUSTRALIA
I wanna live in Australia
like I used to when I was young
Magpies laughing in my ear
way too early from the backyard
planned was just a single beer
bacchanal you are a bastard
memories from yesteryear
they’re fading
but they’ll always be
I don’t know your old stuff
I really don’t care
Don’t know your new stuff either
Got a new apartment
baby it is red
playin’ my favourite songs in bed
I wanna do all the silly things
maybe tune it down a little
It felt we were having wings
changed your mind before hospital
planned was just a single beer
how did we get back to your place?
memories from yesteryear
they’re fading
but they’ll always be
I don’t know your old stuff
I really don’t care
Don’t know your new stuff either
Got a new apartment
baby it is red
playin’ my favourite songs in bed
all those little pieces together
they amount to who I’m now
pieces don’t fit
i must admit
like a broken mosaic forever
it’s much cooler to live in past tense
looking back life makes more sense
shelter of time
like a fine wine
your memories get better with time
all those little pieces together
they amount to who I’m now
pieces don’t fit
i must admit
like a broken mosaic forever
it’s much cooler to live in past tense
looking back life makes more sense
shelter of time
like a fine wine
your memories get better with time
ALL ALONE
I’m all alone
and everybody is gone
noone’s here with me just
myself
on my own
and i got no company
noone else is home
just me
i’m all alone
and noone is around
noone makes a sound
just me
on my own
and i got no company
no friends and family
just me
it’s the best day of my life
I can do what i want im alive
no responsibilities
just me
it feels like
the best time
in my life for a long time
I feel light
I feel right
and i do what i want
it feels like
the best time
in my life for a long time
I feel light
I feel right
and i do what i want
but I know it only feels so great
because i am not alone
i am loved they’re just not here right now
it feels like
the best time
in my life for a long time
I feel light
I feel right
and i do what i want
LYRICS - IMPROVISED SINKING EP
THE END
one day
warm becomes cold
and bright becomes dark
life’s no walk in the park
silence
is expanding
like the universe is too
might this really be the end
for you and me and everything us?
will you be a memory
soon and then slowly fading away?
one light more that’s flickering
oh what will the future bring?
future won’t bring it will take
one light more is now at stake
life can be a hurricane
and you are in the eye of the storm
but one day it moves away
and all is broken, in disarray
one light more that’s flickering
oh what will the future bring?
future won’t bring it will take
one light more is now at stake
one light more that’s flickering
future dangles on a string
there’s still quite a shining glow
but darkness is close
SAVE ME
can somebody save me
can somebody save me
i’m stuck here
and i lost my key
and I walk away
only in my mind
to my bed
I’m confined
can somebody save me
can somebody save me
i’m stuck here
and i lost my key
i am working out a while
i am travelling with a smile
and I can go out all
day and all night
just like normal people might
and I walk away
only in my mind
to my bed
I’m confined
can somebody save me
can somebody save me
my life is
becoming 2-D
can somebody save me
can somebody save me
from listening
to tennessee
and I walk away
only in my mind
to my bed
I’m confined
can somebody save me
can somebody save me
i’m stuck here
and i lost my key
can somebody save me
can somebody save me
my life is
becoming 2-D
LYRICS - HAPPY DAYS ALBUM
HAPPY DAYZ
All water that you drink
Making you ill
All the food you can buy
Poisonous too
But life is good and
And pharma does
Care all about us
And there are pills
A lot of pills
They make you better
A while
Oceans die
Species too
You’re feeling blue
Draught and heat
And our meet
Pumped full of drugs
Before you feel
Bad or worse
You go on youtube
There’s funny stuff
A lot of it
You’re feeling better
Right now
Right now I feel so great and whole
I love life with heart and soul
Happy days are here
Let’s enjoy a beer
Now I feel so great and whole
I love life with heart and soul
Happy days are here
Let’s enjoy a beer
Oceans rise
Cultures sink
Making you think
But thinking hurts
so take a break
Let’s eat a cake
Right now I feel so great and whole
I love life with heart and soul
Happy days are here
Let’s enjoy a beer
Now I feel so great and whole
I love life with heart and soul
Happy days are here
Let’s enjoy a beer
USED TO BE FUN
Somebody told me
That he liked me more
When i was funny
And not such a bore
Gotta get to my babe
Gotta get to my lady now
Gotta get to my babe
Gotta get to my lady now
Somebody told me
I never decide
Before approval
From my future bride
Gotta get to my babe
Gotta get to my lady now
Gotta get to my babe
Gotta get to my lady now
I used to party hard
Now I’m just an old fart
Reading books in my backyard
I like my old me still
But parties are no thrill
The next day you need advil
Somebody told me
I’m no fun at all
These days I’m walking
But I used to crawl
Somebody told me
How early I leave
Party all day was
Easy to achieve
Gotta get to my babe
Gotta get to my lady now
Gotta get to my babe
Gotta get to my lady now
I used to party hard
Now I’m just an old fart
Reading books in my backyard
I like my old me still
But parties are no thrill
The next day you need advil
Beer o'clock
I don’t care when it is beer o'clock
I don’t care when it is beer o'clock
Have a tea with me
Have a tea with me
Have a tea with me
Have a tea with me
Have a tea with me
Have a tea with me
LIE DOWN
You don’t see the path no more
And you are cold
Hiking’s never been your thing
Going, further
Won’t do you no good
Gotta lie down
Down to the ground
Everytime life feels crashing down
Gotta stay low
Just for a while
You gonna get through it I know
You may feel like drowning
But drowning won’t help
You will be washed up again
You can try to run, yes
But it will be
Always right there by your side
Higher, faster
Won’t do you no good
Gotta lie down
Down to the ground
Everytime life feels crashing down
Gotta stay low
Just for a while
You gonna get through this I know
GIRLFRIEND
She’s much better than me
She enables me to grow
She provides feedback on
All the things I do
She gives me advice on things
Helps me choose my clothes
She’s concerned about my health
And that I drink too much
She encourages me to organize
Romantic dinners and a surprise
She documents
My improvements
But they are not enough
She pushes me
To make more money
And spend more time with her
I am a lucky guy
To have a girl like her
Be with a girl like her
That’s what she says to me
I am a lucky guy
To have a girl like her
Be with a girl like her
That’s what she says to me
I am a lucky guy
To have a girl like her
Be with a girl like her
That’s what she says to me
I WISH YOU ALL THE REST
Life is peachy
Life is carefree
You and I are the best team that’s ever been
Our future
Will be bright and
Our love will grow forever more and more
Til you say sorry and then walk out the door
And I wish you all the rest
And I wish you all the rest
And I wish you all the rest
Need to run off
And I wish you all the rest
And I wish you all the rest
And I wish you all the rest
I’m hurt enough
We can’t fight it
We can’t right it
We can’t light the love again
We can’t fight it
And despite it
We will fall in love again
Me and my girl
At a party
We are both young and we are both pretty drunk
Can you sleep with
Me she’s asking
I say not here and go downstairs to my friends
So she grabs a random guy to fornicate
And I wish you all the rest
And I wish you all the rest
And I wish you all the rest
Need to run off
And I wish you all the rest
And I wish you all the rest
And I wish you all the rest
I’m hurt enough
We can’t fight it
We can’t right it
We can’t light the love again
We can’t fight it
And despite it
We will fall in love again
And i wish you all the rest
And i wish you all the rest
And i wish you all the rest
Need to run off
We can’t fight it
We can’t right it
We can’t light the love again
We can’t fight it
And despite it
We will fall in love again
THE WIND
Wait, I’ll be going
I’m just too tired now
My skin in roasted
I am drowning in sweat
Winter is here
summer is gone
I have a beer
Because now life can move on
After the heat
I will not stay
Summer was awful
Now I’m ok
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Nobody knows
Where the wind blows
I got no plan
And I don’t care if it shows
I drift around
I’m having fun
Leaning back watching
Where my life goes
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
I met a girl
She was alright
We had a fight
And I was single by night
I met a girl
Feels like a dream
Can’t be forever
Life is a stream
This you cannot change
It’s just a fading, weighting life
This you cannot change
It’s just a fading, weighting life
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
Any way the wind blows now
HALF-MOON
Sluggishly thin fog crawls by
From nearby hidden lakes
I catch the first morning light
As millions of birds awake
Meandering through the town
A maze of roads and trails
I almost bump into you
You’re nervously bite your nails
For me it’s just a half-moon
But for you the moon is half-full
Once again my life’s begun
And I found a place in the sun
Two slightly lost but free souls
Walking further side by side
All words remain unspoken
My future trophy bride
For me it’s just a half-moon
But for you the moon is half-full
Once again my life’s begun
And I found a place in the sun
For me it’s just a half-moon
But for you the moon is half-full
Once again my life’s begun
And I found a place in the sun
Once again my life’s begun
And I found a place in the sun
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
Your friend is a four just on the crazy scale
maybe you’re a nine yourself
I have never ever met a one myself
Everybody’s little weird
My mind, my mind’s
A creep almost all the time
Half my own thoughts
I would never say out loud
You’re not alone out there
Everyone else is weird as well
You’re not alone out there
Everyone else is weird as hell
Somebody hides it well
Somebody anyone can tell
You’re not alone, you’re not alone
I’m also weird
You may be kind and nice
Or a sociopath
You may struggle through life
And you’re always tired
And on top of all that you are still weird
You’re not alone out there
Everyone else is weird as well
You’re not alone out there
Everyone else is weird as hell
Somebody hides it well
Somebody anyone can tell
You’re not alone, you’re not alone
We’re also weird
HEY GIRL!
Last night you kissed me with your tears
But you know what I want
I don’t care I’m still drinking beers
But you know what I mean
Hey girl, I’m fed up with you baby
Hey girl I’m fed up with you baby
Hey girl I’m fed up with you baby
Oh no more
Hey girl I’m fed up with you baby
You hold me tight and tight and tight
You know my love is gone
Your voice is pretty and weak as beaver
Do I leave you alone
Hey girl, I’m fed up with you baby
Hey girl I’m fed up with you baby
Hey girl I’m fed up with you baby
Oh no more
Hey girl I’m fed up with you baby
