dirty sticky floors

Verse 1

My friend had been my friend

For a long time,

He wanted me on the phone

From time to time,

Talking about his life,

Talking about girls,

My friend used to be my friend;

My friend used to be my friend

But it came to an end

As he said he had a crush on my girl

Chorus

If you haven't understood,

Now let me repeat this:

I will,

I will get you out of my mind!

Yes I will,

I will take you to Ground Zero

Verse 2

My girl had been my girl

But not for a long time,

She needed an ear to be heard

From time to time,

Talking about her life,

Talking about men,

My girl used to be my girl;

My girl used to be my girl

But it came to an end

As she started telling me lies

Chorus

Verse 3

The woman had been someone in my life

For a couple of years,

I thought she liked me,

She told me about her life,

She told me about her man,

The woman used to be someone in my life;

She used to be someone in my life

But it came to an end

As she started yearning for my money

Chorus

Verse 1

Your mother gave birth to you,

You know,

You've got to be grateful,

You only live once

Verse 2

Your girl is driven by you,

You know,

You should be glad,

You only really love once

Verse 3

Your friends put the blame on you,

You know,

The truth is never miles away,

You only lie once

Chorus

Whatever the decisions you make,

The world still turns

And you know,

You only live once;

It's not easy, boy

But whatever happens,

Remember you only live once

Verse 4

Your patience makes you have a quick temper,

You know,

You've got to be a quiet man,

You only let down once

Verse 5

She may have not deserved you,

You know,

Looks ain't everything,

You only lose a girl once

Verse 6

Party with your friends through the night

Cos you know,

You don't know the way it's gonna be tomorrow,

You only live your life once

Chorus

Verse 1

You don't lead a country

Like you lead a hotel,

The world is no longer half the world it used to be,

Now it depends on you

Break 1

Hey Mr.P! You should see how it feels

With your feet on the ground,

There are too many zeros in your account

But they may not give you a place in the sun

Break 2

Hey Mr.P! With your stupid ideas,

You've got your head in the clouds,

If you change the world too much,

The world will get back at you

Break 3

Hey Mr.P! We know you run the show

But don't play hard,

Change your mind

While you can

Break 4

Hey Mr.P! You talk shit about the fair sex

But they'll get back at you,

They'll have fun of your white hair,

They'll want you to go to hell

Chorus

Picture yourself in a different world,

See the issue with a new light,

Man! Give peace a chance!

Picture yourself on a different chair,

You are not alone on Earth,

Man! Give peace to the world!

Verse 2

Man! There are many many people on the streets

And I think they have something to tell you,

Apologise them about your words

Or back to square one

Chorus

Chorus

I'm waiting for the man,

I know he's gonna come,

It's weighing heavy on my mind,

I'm waiting for the man,

This is the last time,

Never again!

Never again!

Verse 1

I walk on dirty sticky floors,

On dirty sticky streets,

Things shouldn't have gone too far,

I wish it was a nightmare

But it's just reality,

I'm waiting for the man

And I know he's gonna come

Chorus

Verse 2

I made a decision,

I hope a change is gonna come,

I wanna spread my own wings,

I sometimes wish it was a bad dream

But it's just real life,

I'm waiting for the man

And I know he's gonna come

Chorus

Verse 3

I just killed the man,

I just saved my life,

I'm not proud

But it was a matter of life or death,

Did I have to lose control?

I'll never wait for the man again

Cos I know he can't come anymore

Chorus

Verse 1

You ask me to be back soon

But then I leave as fast as I went,

You're like the dark side of the moon,

You're as noisy as a closed book

Chorus

All kinds of memories are saved in my mind,

What does it matter to you

Once I log in my memory?

I won't play high

Cos I know I may lose everything I own,

Everything I own,

I just wanna lose those bitter memories

Verse 2

You ask me to be with you

But then I haven't got potential,

What's wrong?

What's true?

I will learn to make good decisions

Chorus

Chorus

Verse 1

Don't put the blame on me,

Please,

Too many things happened

In a brief period,

Let me live on my own,

Please

Break 1

Whatever I say to you,

You're always like a bull ready to charge,

I wonder if you can,

If you can listen to me

Chorus

Don't put the blame on me,

I don't bear a grudge against you,

You know,

I just need to be on my own

For a while,

You know,

I'm not homesick,

Till I miss you

Verse 2

I'm wanted on the phone,

Please,

Too many phone calls

In a brief period,

Let me live my life a little bit,

Please

Break 2

I'm only human after all,

You're always like a volcano ready to erupt,

I wonder if you can,

If you can understand me

Chorus

Chorus

Verse 3

You haven't got the same voice as usual,

Please,

Too many years we've spent together

In a brief period,

Please

Chorus

Verse 1

When I was a young boy,

I fell in love with a little girl,

I fell in love at first sight,

We should have been lovers

Until the end of time,

We were just lovers

For a couple of days;

When I was a young boy,

You know,

I thought nothing could stop me,

I was wrong

Chorus

I dreamt of the city that never sleeps,

I dreamt of the love of my life,

I dreamt of things that can never be reached

When I was 25;

Who will I be when I get older?

Verse 2

When I was a teenager,

I fell in love with a young girl,

I fell in love at first sight,

We should have been lovers,

Lovers in the playground,

It never happened,

It never happened;

When I was a teenager,

You know,

The world wasn't the same as now,

I knew I had to fight

Chorus

Verse 3

When I am 30,

No I still don't wanna know,

Maybe I'll be married,

Married with children,

Maybe my heart will have to be taken;

When I am 30,

I don't know at all,

I don't know anything about the way it's gonna be

Verse 1

I just talked to you on the telephone,

I wanted anything else to happen,

Girl, it's a losing battle,

You know,

These are the same words,

Over and over again

Break 1

Listen to what the old man says,

He wants nothing but your happiness

And you,

You say he hurts you,

You should be back in time

Chorus

Are you pulling my leg

Or is this just the truth?

Let me check any word from your mouth,

Let me refresh your memory;

Girl, you're forgiven

But not forgotten

Verse 2

I just talked to you on the telephone,

You say the hope has gone,

Girl, it seems to me you feel blue,

You know,

These are the same words,

Over and over again

Break 2

Listen to what your friends say,

Let them in

Cos they are here for you,

You should enjoy yourself

Chorus

Verse 3

Maybe you're broken from the start,

Maybe you daren't take chances

But I can't save your soul,

You know,

Tears fit you like a glove,

Whatever happens

Break 3

You say I'm all right,

You always say I'm all right,

Like a record we play again and again,

I have enough with you

Chorus

Verse 1

It's been another world

Since I set myself free,

Don't tell me,

Don't tell me

What's right and what's wrong,

I just want to learn by myself now

Break 1

Don't ask me anything,

Let me do what I want,

Let me eat what I please,

Let me drink whenever I want,

What does it matter to you in the end?

Chorus

Hey! What did you expect?

I wasn't gonna stay till I went west,

Let me live;

Better burn out than fade away,

Better burn out than fade away

And now leave me alone

Verse 2

It's been another world

Since I set myself free,

Don't put the blame on me,

Don't put the blame on me

Cos you made mistakes as well,

Just leave me alone by now

Break 2

Don't tell me anything,

Let me take a walk for a while,

Let me talk to a girl if she pleases me,

Let me have a good time with a friend,

What does it matter to you after all?

Chorus

Break 3

You were hungry like the wolf,

As time went by,

I just had enough,

Now let me say goodbye to you

Chorus

Verse 1

Once upon a time,

You and I,

People said we were always stuck together

Verse 2

Once upon a time,

You and I,

We were like lovebirds

Chorus

Love hurts

When it stings,

Love hurts

When it must pass,

Love kills,

That's what I felt when I lost my little girl

Break

I'd like you to come back,

I don't know if you're gonna forgive me;

I'd like you to come back and stay,

Then I would be a brand-new man

Once upon a time,

You and I,

We always did things hand in hand

Chorus

Once upon a time,

Only I,

I think about all the good times

Once upon a time,

Only I,

I wonder how and why I lost you
