Текст песни:

I grew up in the 90′s at least that′s what I tried
looking for ways to be satisfied
I went to San Diego to try out my luck
came back 12 months later and again I was stuck


I felt like a goldfish stuck in a bowl
I was waiting for something that I could control


after 2000 no longer a kid
the world didn′t end but something else did
when my father takes off I′m already 19
he wasn′t as happy as I thought he seemed


if this is my screenplay I don′t like my role
these are the things that you just can′t control


although I feel a lot older I′m just 23
if you′re looking for answers don′t come to me
instead of a future I′ve got a guitar
but dreaming out loud won′t get me far


still I feel I′m ready for rock′n roll
cus′ there might be something that I can control
by the time I hit 30 I′ll have enough
of being a twentysomething in love
my friends will all be married or they will be gone
I will still be wondering what′s going on


if that′s what it takes then I′ll sell my soul
as long as there′s something that I can control


one day I′ll wake up and I′ll be 38
doing the things I used to hate
the trick to forget the bigger picture is when
you look at everything in close-up as often as you can
our revolution is covered in mold
cus′ there′s only so much you can control


this is no anthem because anthems are proud
and pride isn′t something that this is about
I shouldn′t care shouldn′t care
but I do and that′s sometimes too hard to bear
still walking the same road with my shoes full of holes
just waiting for something that we can control


if I ever reach 50 or 65
too early to tell if I′ll still be alive
we were born in the 80′s and now we are here
my generation′s dream will disappear


I′m at a graveyard passing the rows
a silent surrender we′ll never get close
this is my story you swallowed it whole
about us feeling the need to be in control

Текст песни:

I′m gonna move to Canada
Yeah I′ve made up my mind
Leave everything behind
I′ll catch a plane, fly away from this rain

I′m gonna move to Canada
I′m gonna meet Neil Young
I just know we′ll get along
Show up at his house
Convince him and his spouse
I′ll pick up my guitar and play
A couple of my songs
A couple of my songs
A couple of my songs
That I′ll sing at the top of my lungs

I′m gonna move to Canada
Yeah I′ve made up my mind
Leave everything behind
I′ll catch a plane, fly away from this rain

Mister Young will be impressed
And offer me a record deal
And tell me to call him Neil
We′ll have a ball until Canada′s too small
Then I′ll pack up my guitar and I
Will move to the US
I′ll move to the US
I′ll move to the US
To be a sensational succes

I′m gonna move to Canada
Yeah I′ve made up my mind
Leave everything behind
I′ll catch a plane, fly away from this rain

After Canada the USA is a piece of cake
All the sales records I′ll break
"The Best Thing Since The Beatles"
Is what magazines will write
With my guitar and band
I will conquer every town
I′ll conquer every town
I′ll conquer every town
Me, the singing rock′n roll clown

I still wanna move to Canada
But for now I′ll just stay here
I think it′s best for my career
When I get home from the office
Where I′ve worked all my life
I pick up my guitar and play
A couple of my old songs
A couple of my old songs
A couple of my old songs
And I think: "Damn"
"Neil Young would have loved these songs,
He would have loved these songs"

Maybe next year
Maybe next year

Текст песни:

Coming of age ain’t about what you do
It’s giving in to what’s predefined
When you trade all your dreams for compromise
It is never what you have in mind

One shot of happy, two shots of sad
That’s how our lives are aligned
The path that you chose has got highs has got lows
But it’s never what you have in mind

I must say that I still wonder why it disappears
Must say that I still wonder why
The years keep tumbling by

Coming of age ain’t about who you meet
It’s about the people who leave you behind
Your brothers, your parents, your lovers, your friends
It is never what you have in mind

One shot of happy, two shots of sad
We know we might run out of time
But when it comes to living, dying is the easy part
Not exactly what you had in mind

I really doubt that I’ll find out why it disappears
I really doubt that I’ll find out
What these years are all about

You might ask if these thoughts that I just summed up
Are of any importance to you
Maybe not but when things don’t turn out like you planned
It helps to know that they never do

Besides, if each shot of happy
Comes with only two shots of sad
Then coming of age is not so bad
Then coming of age is not so bad
Then coming of age is not so bad

Текст песни:

Life always dumps something in your lap
You′re constantly busy redrawing your map
You leave behind a fading trail
Of images and words that you hope will prevail

Life always dumps something in your way
You try to make the best of it everyday
You could give up and give in but you prefer
To keep hoping some kind of change might occur
Just hoping some kind of change might occur

Misery sure loves company
And nobody′s ever who they seem to be
The daily horror of people at their worst
And most selfish, one day, your bubble will burst

So much time should not have passed
At least not that way and not so fast
It wasn′t always easy, it wasn′t always fun
But it was always worth it, regrets I have none
It was always worth it, regrets I have none

Life always dumps something so you should try.
To acknowledge the fact you′re surrounded by
These relics of a life that no longer exists
Your name still appears on the waiting lists

Life always dumps something that makes things worse
There are no rules in this self-help universe
It′s never what you were expecting to find
There′s darkness ahead and there′s darkness behind
There′s darkness ahead and there′s darkness behind

There′s darkness ahead and there′s darkness… behind…

Текст песни:

Hey man, I′m tired of working all day
I′m turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let′s wait until daylight fades
And we′ll join the dreamers and renegades


Hey, have you heard the radio news
They say that soon all hell will break loose
Me, I am trying to do my part
But really changing the world seems so hard

Hey man, I′m tired of working all day
I′m turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let′s wait until daylight fades
And we′ll join the dreamers and renegades

Girl, let′s just empty this bottle of booze
And swirl all night in our dancing shoes

Hey man, I′m tired of working all day
I′m turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let′s wait until daylight fades
We′ll join the dreamers and renegades

Hey hey hey, just you and me girl, what do you say
Hey hey hey, just you and me girl, what do you say


Hey man, I′m tired of working all day

Hey man, I′m tired of working all day
I′m turning into a daysleeping walking cliche
Hey man, let′s wait until daylight fades
And we′ll join the dreamers and renegades

We′ll join the dreamers and renegades

Dreamers and renegades
Dreamers and renegades

We′ll join the dreamers and renegades

Текст песни:

Mama lies on the couch in her old wedding gown
She turned pale long before the carnival had left town
She stares at the front porch on the outlook for dad
"Don′t worry, I′ll be back in a week" is the last thing he said
We all knew he gambled in the city and lost
Money we didn′t have must′ve be the line that he crossed
It′s been over a year instead of a week
Here in our house, our house by the creek

Me and my family live in the Netherlands
In the house that he build with his bare hands
My younger brother Jimmy is playing outside
With his cap gun he tries to shoot planes from the sky
In his chair by the window sits uncle Fred
Since he′s back from the war there ain′t a word he has said
And Freckles my sister as she passed away sir
Sometimes in my dreams I catch up with dad and with her
What we end up with is not what we seek
Here in our house, our house by the creek

My name is Louis, it′s Louis, all right
I play dad′s old accordion all day and all night
I just turned eleven, so I′m still a kid
But when I grow up I wanna find out what daddy did
Mister believe me, I was thought not to cry
And that family should stay together ′till the day that you die
Yeah mister believe me, I was thought boys don′t cry
And that the town where you′re born is the town where youll die
That the town where you′re born is where youll probably die

What did God wanna show when He created man weak
We don′t understand in our house by the creek

Текст песни:

can I be excused
from what I was doing but what was I doing
I need to buckle up
we make noise so pretty that closing time is only
a matter of time

as far as I′m concerned
we lost by a landslide and I think that just might
keep pissing me off
I didn′t see it coming I never see it coming
not even this time

isn′t a wake-up call
supposed to tell you something
call me again sometime
because now I just learned nothing
you need to explain
to me over coffee why you said this could be
the worst day of the year

as far as I′m concerned
I won′t get into the fact we turned into
a couple of ghosts
yearning to burn and yearning to rise and
yet locked in time and space

isn′t a wake-up call
supposed to tell you something
call me again sometime
because now I just learned nothing
you need to explain
to me over coffee why you said this could be
the worst day of the year

you need to explain
to me over coffee why you said this could be
the worst day of the year

as far as I′m concerned
I won′t get into the fact we turned into
a couple of ghosts
a couple of ghosts
a couple of ghosts

Текст песни:

you came over
like a midnight appetite
nobody believes me now

i ran across and
saw thousand people on my way,
on my way, on my way out

one of it, two of it
one of it, we′ll make the most of it
you′ll love it
one of it, two of it
one of it, we′ll make the most of it
you′ll love it

you left me out there
in the early morning rain
why would you believe me now
I′m only trying
to protect my point of view
I want you to let me in

one of it, two of it
one of it, we′ll make the most of it
you′ll love it
one of it, two of it
one of it, we′ll make the most of it
you′ll love it
and you try

to give me something
to give me something
but i′ll do something
but i′ll do something
let′s try

one of it, two of it
one of it, we′ll make the most of it
you′ll love it
one of it, two of it
one of it, we′ll make the most of it
you′ll love it

can you *count* me in
can you *count* me in

Текст песни:

I made the call just too late
At the end of May
I just thought I could wait
For one more day
In the time that passed
You went down so fast
You went down so fast

Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn′t understand
I would have changed all my plans

An empty house, a setting sun
At four a.m.
Some battles fought are battles won
But this ain′t one of them
One more shadow cast
You went down so fast
You went down so fast

Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn′t understand
I would have changed all my plans
I would have changed
Out of my reach, out of my hands

Now the leaves are turning brown
I watch ′em blow
Where the earth pulls them down
I let you go
As your breath unwinds
Through the restless pines

Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn′t understand
I would have changed all my plans
I would have changed
Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn′t understand
I would have changed all my plans
I would have changed
