Millencolin Todas(For Monkeys) Lyrics:
PUZZLE Here we are again with another bunch of
soft songs maybe you are wondering why it took us
so long with a schedule tight, studiotime in
sight we have mostly been out touring
inspiration has been hard this time and honestly
I've had some problems with all these rhymes
We're under stress again, but it has always been
that way and once we get it right, then I know
it's there to stay We're under stress again, but
we're used to all that now it's always tough at
first but somehow we always end up fine

Third album, less of ska and not so many fast
ones more of poppy, pushy songs, those that we do
best now nine to five at Unisound in January '97
we had the greatest time, with Dan as engineer
now the outcome is what you hear

If you're lonely or if you're happy feeling
swell or feeling blue, we might have a tune for
you it's about half of an hour, maybe less or
maybe more whatever it might be it's still
softcore

LOZIN' MUST When I am lozin' must in a
conversation it makes me use my imagination
start to think that they're after me cause I'm as
sore as those monkeys hope the chat goes on and I
feel smaller the guys in front of me they get
taller when I open my mouth again to tell them
something more they answer me with a hockeyscore

Must be strong, can't be wrong or you'll be
lozin' must, you'll be lozin' trust in yourself

Well, I have this girl and I make here crazy
when I'm gone she's bored and lazy I get a kick
from pushin' her but I'm not sure about how she
feels about it my favorite hockeyteam are
strugglin' it makes my stomach bubblin' bad
their hard time really makes me sad we had some
fucked up years now it's time to wipe away those
tears

It's been a tough time for me this past year
lots of questions who I am or what I wanna be I
also found some answers the fog is gone I feel
better every day and now the feeling is here to
stay

RANDOM I AM Every morning, it's a new surprise
don't know who I am before I roll the dice the
options is the only thing that I decide you see,
I live for the moment know I never did before,
with all and everything I sweep the floor random
I am, I never give a damn about what's gonna
happen next my wife and kids they left me and my
job is just a memory but that's the kind of price
you've got to pay if you're gonna go your own way
salving problems can be done in many ways

I don't care, I just roll the dice It's o.k,
cause I just have to pretend that I am someone
else

Get rid of all the habits now that's the plan
come on and try it and you'll feel grand the
first step is the hardest step to take
imagination is the only brake just roll the dice
and everything will turn out nice you can be who
you wanna be do what you wanna do and do it how
you like this is my way of getting through the
day, but I still don't know

BORING PLANET When I was a kid I thought that I
could fly throw myself out of a widow, right out
into the sky now when I am older I know that I
could die die from a depression, I would learn my
lesson well

Life's so normal, nothing's shocking Boring
planet, cause no one here is rocking Life's so
tragic, nothing's clocking Boring planet cause no
one here is rocking hard

When I was a kid I thought that I was strong the
girls in school got beaten up by me every day long
now when I am older I know that it was wrong to
deal with girls in the first place, cause a broken
heart is now the case I'm broken hearted in
disgrace

It's a boring planet, we're just lying to
ourselves It's a boring planet, thanks to us and
no one else

MONKEY BOOGIE A snake, a fake, he's lame, he's in
this game for the money and for the fame a spin,
a grin, he's on and then we yawn steals the
credit then he's gone he's the man with a plan
and first he'll seem helpful to make sure that
you're on the hook he's so full of bull and he
sure will pull some strings to make things go his
way everything will go his way

We're in the monkey biz the monkey boogie is
nothing new and he'll be doin' the dance with you

Humble, mumble, stumble don't think so that is
not the way to go connect, collect, correct, what
did you expect? did you think that he seriously
cares for you? do the monkey boogie,
orangu-tango, baboon!

TWENTY TWO I'm one year older now since last time
I saw you in case you wanna know, I'm about to
say what I'm up to first of all I'm a sluggard
movin' slow in a clumsy way some peace of mind is
what I want, but that will be the day

I've been going with the flow for too long now,
this must end running 'round in circles, I've
been so far away from myself Searching for the
energy and the time to make a change in my life
instead of watching it pass by, get something done
while I'm alive

I'm twenty two, don't know what I'm supposed to
do or how to be, to get some more out of me I'm
twenty two, so far away from all my dreams I'm
twenty two, feeling blue

I try to activate myself the best I can so that
boredom won't catch up with me, I've got my daily
plan wake up late, then rehearse a bit with the
band, I guess it's cool? later when I'm home
again I boil a note or two then I go to bed
that's what I do

afraid that I will be weak forever I can't stay
in this shape any longer my life's just another
cliché

BLACK GOLD Can you pass me the black gold I
wanna know how many shirts got sold I'm gonna
beat you in soccer we bought our Juve-shirts in
an Italian footlooker we saw the real world today
poor swedes were afraid left France behind us
broke some fingers of Magnus'

like it or not, I always say that I'd rather go
home like it or not, this time I never wanted to
go home

Ingredients is a big thing we crown Stavanger to
king wanna see more of Moulder at night the buss
is getting colder we saw the real world today
did you know it's in Brussels now we hope that
you missed us we'll be home to X-mas

wanna see you again someday soon, it'd be great
you're totally o.k

its over now, it's December like a friend once
said, it's times to remember

TRENDY WINDS* Trendy winds are blowing through my
hair the punk-elite are checking everything I
wear I'm tired of their endless whine, why can't
they mind their own cause what I am is what I
will be

Don't need you or your crew to tell me what to
do everyday when you try to waste my time I
waste a rhyme

Sometimes I can't understand what's wrong cause
this scene is filled with people who's bad and
nong you're an idiot and looser if you go their
way cause you don't need no one-track crew now

sometimes I can't understand what's wrong to all
you suckers we dedicate this song

OTIS I remember when this was different then a
job for friendship and for fun, in harmony we got
it done we had a good scene going in our hometown
Pennybridge Most of those bands are gone, it can
be tough to stand alone so many times it has been
shown

But it looks good, just as it should feels good,
not for me I can't say that yet not when you're
filled up with regret if I felt good today you
know that I would stay

You were my girl until this day I can't
understand you're not anymore more than two years
shared with you all the things that we've been
through In my memory forever, you'll be there
until I die and though this is the end, I love
you more then as friend doesn't matter it's the
end

Everything has it's time and I will sure have
mine so many things that we start almost tear us
apart, eventually everyone has their own way they
got to go so many things that we start with
people who brakes our heart one time, then do the
same to another one

LIGHT'S OUT* Looking back with anger, looking
back with joy and laughs don't ask me all those
questions, cause I don't have the answers now I
tried to hold back all my thoughts and all my
dreams just to make things better, I was using
myself past my means

But all those days are gone and I can't find the
path that I should follow I'm walking unknown
land mile after mile I search the way back to my
mind and I can not believe how hard it is to find
when I'm down

I used to make things easy, I used to be a happy
guy but now things seem so different, that I
can't even play the game I got to try to find the
way through all this now so what I need now, is
someone to read the map cause I don't know how

I feel ashamed and I'm to blame cause I tried to
be, I tried to see things from my side and I also
bleed, I also need some space it's time to close
this case

ENTRANCE AT RUDEBROOK The joy and the pain, it's
all in the game but right now the joy's far away
we're gonna take it back to how it was before now
so what if we're last, so what if we're gone
you're waiting for that day, but I know it won't
come we've reached the bottom and now we're just
looking forward

For twelve years I've been down but I'm not
whining, I'm still smiling I'm still around every
night

every Sunday or Wednesday I'll be there with all
the other folks biting those nails and some of us
I know that we would die for you maybe you think
it's just cause I have my smartcard but forget
that pall, tell you what we're in it and we're in
it to win it

so many hours spent in that building and all the
memories divine just a few more seasons, then
we'll be back

LOWLIFE* I don't know what to say, cause I don't
feel that good today I don't know what to do, I
left my mind in all that glue if I try to think
or if I do something about this mess then I will
find myself in a situation I can't deal with now

my head it start to pound my thoughts are flying
around and my body hits the ground

I can't hear a sound and I feel fine I can see
what's wrong I'm alone and strong

I keep my eyes on you, just to make myself sure
I don't know why I care, cause it makes me feel so
poor and I must try to leave all this stuff
behind me now I feel fine today, but tomorrow, I
don't know what I will say

cause my head will start to pound and my
thoughts will fly around when my body hits the
ground

Then I won't hear a sound and I feel fine I can
see what's wrong I'm alone and strong
