WHAT’S IN A NAME

2000

01. BELOVED BYGONE

[presente somente na versão brasileira do álbum]

The rain inside my head becomes an ocean

And it’s dying to come out

But I cant shed no tears: blank emotion, just floating around.

From chair to bed but I cant sleep, you’re not here.

I take a sword to fight the fear over you.

Can not think, can not drink, can not weep, can not sleep

Can’t believe what those liars are telling me, that you died all alone with your head near the phone, 

that you didn’t an answer ‘cos I wasn’t home

Just two days ago we had some fun

The laughing just went on and on...

Just one day ago you smiled that smile

Which took me a thousand miles away

From bed to bath, my brain explodes

It’s just not fair

Where is sword that can best death

‘Cos I want you

Look outside and count the stars above and there

Are 32

Yesterday there were 31, so that one must be you

I miss you, don’t know what to do

Don’t know where to go, it’s the end

02. SENSE AND SENSABULLETY

[presente somente na versão brasileira do álbum]

Here they are now, they’re marching again

Oh what a bunch of pricks

Their mouths are bigger than their brains

And they think that might do the trick

A friend said if you close your eyes

They might go away

But I know that can’t be true

‘Cos I also them yesterday

My bird’s eye view tells me there’s something I must do

‘Cos they’ll crack the whip

If I don’t something to fight it

So I hit them hard, right from the start

I’ll clear the desk for action

So I hit them hard, from the start

When the chips are down

You’re spoiled for choice

Don’t know if you heard the phrase

“Once bitten, twice shy”

My owner’s manual say beware

Before they can multiply

Put my helmet on, big boots on

And my most evil smirk

Only one minute to go and

I’ll freak out and go berserk

My bird’s eye view tells me there’s something I must do

‘Cos they’ll crack the whip

If I don’t something to fight it

So I hit them hard, right from the start

I’ll clear the desk for action

So I hit them hard, from the start

When the chips are down

You’re spoiled for choice

03. BEAU

18 years to pick me up

From the ground, they never tried 

To lift me up

It something made me wonder why

They didn’t dare to simply leave me there to die

18 years, not long enough

the restlessness and awkwardness

of feeling bound

I didn’t choose to live this life

I hate myself as much as I hate you

It took 18 years to free me from these fears

From hiding all those tears

Ruling my world and now my grave

It took 18 years to free me from these fears

From hiding all those tears

Ruling my world

18 years to lift me up

from the bed my mother made for me

it took 18 years to clearly believe and see

that though no longer my hands and feet were tied

I would always end up wired

LIAR: no need to step out of line they said

LIAR: they tried to trample me and now I’m dead

LIAR: no need to step out of line? You should step out right now

In your car, I was lucky, well, you know

It felt as if I was free, the great wide open

But the doors, they spoiled my dreams

I could not drive

Start the engine to end this life

18 years just long enough in a life that’s just too rough

I’d really like to trade my body in

04. MARIA

At school they taught her

To always pray real hard

Then God would come and give

Some peace to her heart

But with her unborn son

Hidden in a bin

She couldn’t pray no more

Cause where should she begin

And now she wants love

She don’t want pain

She sits and dreams and

She’s waiting for a sign

From the Very Holy God

High up in the air

Saying to Maria

Girl, I do care

She knows just what she’s done

And that she lives in sin

But something just went wrong

A fight she could not win

Although she begged him no

And God did not come down

The angels in her head

They made her wedding-gown

And now she wants love

She don’t want pain

She kneels down and

She’s waiting for a sign

Her mummy threw her out

Her dad he spat on her

The unholy Maria

Discarded girl

And now she wants love

She don’t want pain

She sits and prays and

She’s waiting for a sign

From the Holy God

To get off his cloud and hurl

Shouting to Maria

You kick ass, girl

05. FRANKIE

Frankie's never been to school but she's nobody's fool

She can outsmart you all

Frankie just threw her husband out,

'cos that's something she can do without

Never took care of her kids

Only after ass and tits

Nightshifts and early wake-up calls

Children running in the hall

But Frankie is ok

Now she's waiting in line to buy a ticket for the lottery

With a big smile on her face

Frankie tries to soothe her troubled mind

Because life isn't always kind

She's sure things will work out

She keeps her hands firmly on her purse

In which the lottery ticket burns

Today a tramp tomorrow queen

And if not: dreams are for free

Dayshifts and late-night calls

A lot of screaming in the hall

But Frankie is just fine

Now she's waiting in the line

With 3 shopping bags in a grocery

And a big smile on her face

Then a man says: “Bitch, move your fad ass a bit’

Frankie says “Thanks for the compliment,

You ugly piece of shit!

I am a bitch

But that's why I manage

And talking 'bout my ass

Well, you can fucking kiss it”

She never even checked the number of her lot

It might have been on purpose or maybe she forgot

The thought of being lucky simply was enough

Don't let nobody drag you down

But play it rough

06. ROBERT

Just a few questions which I wanna ask

Just a few questions now

Just a few questions which I wanna ask

Just a few questions now

I’ve been alone at places where I’d wanted to be

Looked to all the other workers who were standing beside me

They stole my pretty face and

I walked silently through the wall

Wish I’d never found that place now

Wish I never knew at all

Though I earned lots of money

My ship never sailed in

They simply took my youth and my will

The noise inside my head now

The love forever gone

I’m down and out, completely forlom

Just a few questions which I wanna ask

Just a few questions now

Just a few questions which I wanna ask

Just a few questions now

07. JULIE HILL

She’s feeling so sad now, like a clown

Double exposure, double frowns

As she sits there high up in that tree

Julie she wonders now she’s the only one

Caring enough to call the earth her home

As she hears those machines roar

Julie, redwood pioneer

Nothing has changed since she heard that old song

They’re cutting the hair again of her beloved one

And she’s high now, nigh again

The wind whispers lullabies so Julie can sleep

60 meters from her past so deep, the future must be saved

Julie, redwood pioneer

Those guys below her on the ground

Are fighting cause time is money

And Julie needs to be shut down

But the wind and the trees so firmly fight

The branches keep her so tight

That Julie can’t be reached

08. KAIN & MABEL

The cat is on a hot tin roof and I guess that is another proof

Why things are not working out

The grapes of wrath turned sour again

I have to come up with another plan

Can’t remember what this fight was about

But I know it’s not my fault

Give me back what you have taken

Everything is mine

Only the blame is yours

You can take your pills and all your bills and

Shove ‘em up your ass

Go fight other wars

Like the day I sold your ugly guitar

And you thought I went a little bit too far

But my ears said: go girl go

And my ears and my eyes can never be wrong

So listen to all that stupid songs

Was like giving birth to a whale

And I guess that meant, it’s not ok

09. AMY

[não tem essa letra no encarte]

10. SILY SOSORRY

It’s all about the game, it’s all about the fortune and fame

It’s all about the money, how much we can gain

But we’re gonna cheat, we’re gonna play out the tune

And our bluffing tactics will simply be: telling the truth

What she wouldn’t give

To live the life they live

Splendid, spend it

Sign the contract here

Say goodbye to your integrity

The dollar replaced the ideals

Spoiled now to the core, never mind, never mind

Suddenly turned deaf, dumb and blind

But the light shines bright

Once a punk, now a junk

Attracted like flies

Half the body changed

Half the brain arranged

Lick it, taste it, suck it

They gave that rose

An almost lethal overdose

Silly’s SoSorry now

Spoiled now to the core, never mind, never mind

Suddenly turned deaf, dumb and blind

But the light shines bright

Once a punk, now a junk

Attracted like flies

Spoiled now to the core, never mind, never mind

Suddenly turned deaf, dumb and blind

I guess they would eat shit to reach the top

And become a member of the Silly Sorry Lot

11. BUTCH

I walked down to the park, the empty afternoon

And then I had some drink so I would feel much better soon

And then I phantomed a future without you by my side

And then I drank some more to make me feel alright

You didn't see me there, on my own

Maybe you did see me but you just walked back home

And I don’t mind, I don’t see

What is wrong with you and me

Don’t give me that shit again

‘Cos I already been there

I don't mind, I don't see

What is wrong with you and me

Don’t give me that shit again

'Cos I’ve already ate it

Then I walked along the empty avenue

And then I had some more to drink 'cos the end would come up soon

And then I thought I saw you walking hand in hand

With some other chick you know,

Some butch from the other end of town

You didn't see me strangling in your web

Like a fly to get out, unable to move one step

And I don’t mind, I don’t see

What is wrong with you and me

Don’t give me that shit again

‘Cos I already been there/‘cos I’ve had it up to here

I don't mind, I don't see

What is wrong with you and me

Don’t give me that shit again

'Cos I’ve had it up to here/‘cos I’ve already ate it

12. ANDRE

It’s Friday night and I’m off with me mates

We’re gonna see the BAMBIX and listen to their all-time faves

It’s time to party, play to win

Nobody’s gonna stop us

‘cos as soon as we’ll get in: the fun can begin

I wanna win, I wanna win, when I dance and sing,

I’m gonna kick some heads in

I wanna win, I wanna win, with my mates across the pit,

We’re gonna make you sorry and sick of it

Why is the singer stopping, what does she do?

I guess she wants to introduce me to her steel-capped shoe

Not only brainless but where are my teeth

That was a real cool move but now I’m sick of it

No longer in the pit where I wanna win…

Guess I did not catch on

But I’ll come round

Never saw the like of it

No longer in the pit

13. ANNIE

When I dreamed of all the lonely places, we’ve never been that far

We hide it just behind bars

Fought, embraced, didn’t give a toss bout what they thought of us

We lived our lives at the stars

High above the world

And in those hours of darkness you were standing next to me

Guess that made it worth while

Struggle for eternal fate, we always were on time

The thing to pack were our smiles

And I know we did intend to

Scream and make our way right out of here

No locks could hold us here

Cause crying doesn’t help and the light just made us feel

High above the world

14. NODDY

Bang! There goes another cup

I guess I ran out of luck today

‘Cos my parents are fighting anyway

Bang! There goes another plate

I guess my mummy was home too late

And now they’re screaming their lungs out

And I’m crying my eyes out

But there’s Noddy on the wall

He understands it all

He winks at me and tells me everything’s gonna be fine

There’s Noddy on the wall

And he understands it all

He winks at me and tells me everything’s gonna be fine

Bang! There goes another cup

I guess I ran out of luck today

‘Cos my parents are fighting anyway

Bang! There goes another tool

I didn’t do well enough at school

And now they’re screaming their lungs out

And I’m crying my eyes out

But there’s Noddy on the wall

He understands it all

He winks at me and tells me everything’s gonna be fine

There’s Noddy on the wall

And he understands it all

He winks at me and tells me everything’s gonna be fine

There I am off to Toyland

My red suitcase in my hand

The bus stops and the driver smiles at me

Says his bus goes somewhere else

“But hey, little girl, what will your parents say?

They’ll miss you when you're gone”

He goes off to a phonebox

And 5 minutes later

My parents are speeding up the highway

Bang! I hear the car-window burst

‘Cos they're fighting on who’ll get out first

And then they order me to get in

Whaps! My dad slaps me in the face

Says I’m a disgrace for the human race

And now they’re screaming their lungs out

And I’m crying my eyes out

There’s Noddy on the wall

And he understands it all

But he hits me hard and says:

“Don't you ever leave me again,

My dear friend”

15. LOCH NESS

I get there and I wonder who you might have been

I cry over the shoulder of an unspoiled man

But since you’ve been gone

I rolled my back over words

And you just carry on spreading diseased like dirt

And I can’t forget and you move onward 

I sit here and I wonder who you might been

I cry over the shoulder of a really absent man

But since you’ve been gone

I really couldn’t’t care less

And you just carry on proving your life is a mess

And I can’t forget and you move onward 

By being there, on no-man’s street

Has given me a soul to feed

Where you once were, is now she 

My soulmate
