Millencolin Todas(Home for Home) Lyrics:
MAN OR MOUSE Yeah, yeah, yeah... I hate myself
when going Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Hear me I sound like a Beatle I get cold feet
when the pressure is on You can't see me coz I'm
lost like a needle In a haystack yeah I'm almost
gone Like a mouse follows the flute Or like a mute
who can't dispute I fall in line with you

Mouse more than man, yes I am You know I wanna
say no and just stick to my own plan Mouse more
than man, yes I am Coz yet I go with the flow

See me as a chameleon, a cheap shot I change my
cast for anybody's best But I'm not free I feel
more like a robot That is programmed to please the
rest So whatever you want I'll do Whenever you
want me to I will agree with you Mouse more than
man, yes I am You know I wanna say no and just
stick to my own plan

Mouse more than man, yes I am Coz yet I go with
the flow Yeah, yeah, yeah... I hate myself when
going Yeah, yeah, yeah...

No more sound like a Beatle Those cold feet are
for yesterday No more getting the needle I cannot
care about what others say Mouse more than man,
yes I am You know I wanna say no and just stick to
my own plan Mouse more than man, yes I am Coz yet
I go with the flow before the shit hits the fan
Yeah, yeah, yeah... This is my last time going
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

FINGERS CROSSED I always knew you were a keeper
Maybe not exactly from day one Guess I never
wanted it to be overdone And even though you are a
sleeper Well, to me that's never been a crime And
after all you woke up in time

So now you're back on your feet again Now you're
back to compete with men Now you're back and it
took some time To get from misery to prime Now
you're back onto change the world Now you're back
and I say: Go girl! Now you're back and you'll do
just fine 'Coz after rainy days the sun will shine

I know I've been part of the reasons Why you
sometimes felt so sore And I'm sorry I didn't give
you more But now you're heading better seasons And
your mom she's watching you From above with
fingers crossed for everything you do

So now you're back on your feet again Now you're
back to compete with men Now you're back and it
took some time To get from misery to prime Now
you're back onto change the world Now you're back
and I say; Go girl! Now you're back and you'll do
just fine So don't resign 'Coz after rainy days
the sun will shine

It doesn't matter what others say Even those you
call friends Don't leave it out for another day
This might be your big chance You're the one
always beside me When I'm lost you're always to
guide me It's about time I give you something back
I'm the one selfish and greedy Never care enough
of what you needed But even still you had the
strength to get back in the end

BLACK EYE So now I got a black eye Even though I
never got smacked But if I get a retry Then I will
try to give back You were the one who got jacked
And I hope you will forgive me for whenever I
capsize

I know that you can see it in my eyes I'm not
myself right now My biggest problem is to
compromise But I'm sure I would know how I show my
tragedy with my black eye

I've been the one to deny Everything that you do
I said it's all a big lie Always questioning you
Even though you've been true And I know that I've
been nothing more than just a jealous guy

But everybody's talking about you All the time
about things you do And that's the only time I do
realize That I do love being close to you And
everybody's laughing with you Guess that's the
thing that I just can't stand I'm selfish more
than I am a man

MONTEGO I know I get what I give Since I don't
feel too good guess I don't give much Maybe I just
wanna live I knock on wood every time I feel human
touch What can I do to fit in? Kiss up to someone?
It will never happen When alienation hits in on me
My empathy is gone, my conscious blackens And I
just spit in your face When you ask for help My
heart is made of stone

Nobody's best friend, I'm on my defence Everyone
stands alone

Another elbow hit, somebody's ego trip Everyone
stands alone I know I get what I give Funny vibes,
what goes around comes around But yeah, I just
wanna live With someone by my side some kind of
close bond Another spit in your face Every time
you need me I am busy with my own

When it all comes down to it we all stand alone
So many times it's been shown Hearts that are made
of stone

PUNK ROCK REBEL Hardcore skater used to be One of
few who inspired me To get into the punkrock scene
The year I turned seventeen Our first song ever
Danny wrote For teenage angst he was the antidote
An uncut diamond full of strife His first demo
changed my life

He's a rebel it's plain to see Punk rock rebel so
full of strife He's a rebel and he'll always be
someone who changed my life

It takes a lot for a man to stay unbowed He's the
one and only "Svag and proud" Partners
we have been in crime And in music from time to
time Although most known for his drinking skills
It's not the side of him that gives me thrills
It's the gifted poet I see in Dan To me he'll
always be "the man"

KEMP* I gotta learn how to lose and to choose my
own wars I gotta understand it's not me against
the world no more When you are sure as hell then I
don't know You are so pure and well when I am low
When you say ”Sure as hell!” then I say no

A spoke in your wheel, yeah like a bugging fly A
thorn in your side just like a constant red eye On
being an ass I've really been a pro So can I say
no?!

I know I've tread on your toes and it shows who I
am And all these situations and relations from the
start they were damned I feel a need to stop when
you say go I am indeed a flop if you say so I feel
a need to stop so I say no

A spoke in your wheel, yeah like a bugging fly A
thorn in your side just like a constant redeye On
being an ass I've really been a pro What can I
say?

BOTANIC MISTRESS I felt like Travis Bickle,
tyrannical, lonely and blue I don't know why I
went to Botanical but there I met you You made me
go from blue to green just in time before I got a
mohawk When we're together I'd say we look like
brooklime And you can't talk or walk but I love
your leafstalk

All I wanna do Is live my life with you Tall
you've gotta grow I'll give you H20 All I want to
do Is live a simple life here with you

Your way! I'll send no billet-doux! If you rather
want me to I'll buy a green house for you You'll
always be on the sunny side of my heart I hope you
don't dry out at times when we're apart Hope you
don't leave me in the cart!

As I said I really hope that you don't leave me
in the cart Coz if you do dry out then that will
truly break my heart And I'll feel like Bickle
once more And maybe I will lose it, go insane and
start a gun war?!

HAPPINESS FOR DOGS* I think I've been wrong in
this family affair It's been too long that we got
used to everything unfair I'm out there trying to
put on the charms But inside I'm crying when I
remember how you cut your arms

Here comes happiness for dogs like us And I just
hope it's gonna last The drugs they give you are
something I don’t trust At least when side effects
come fast Just like in the past

Everyone is not stable, we all got our ups and
downs They gave you a label and pills to make you
drowse I do not trust them coz I've seen you fall
What's to discuss when you almost lost the will
to live at all

Here comes happiness for dogs like us And I just
hope it's gonna last The drugs they give you are
something I don't trust At least when side effects
come fast Just like in the past when side effects
came fast Happiness it never lasts

Almost twenty years of fighting for your health
not too exiting And I know there's so much more
that I could do But you just never give up, hope
that one day you will live up And regain what
belongs to nobody else but you

BATTERY CHECK* Walking around the streets of
Linné Reloading batteries in my own way
Nobody around here would know who I am, that's
o.k I really wanna do something new Just anything
different to get into It's all up to me to give it
a try That it's all up to me is making me
terrified It looks like I'll be waiting for
moments that will never arrive

When will I live my life for me? When will I do
what I want to? When will I let myself be free and
take care of things that I value? So when will I
live my life just for me?

Hitting P.B. driving E20 north Future plans being
made going back and forth Remain passive I do
got dreams on my mind And I really should be
taking a chance Risk my safety just for once
advance The one who is trying is the one who
succeeds I should be following my heart and my
needs But I know it's a problem for me to
translate words into deeds

Please say you feel the same way Just say you
know exactly how I feel So say you feel the same
way And I will do it for real

When will I live my life for me? When will I do
what I want to? When will I let myself be free And
take care of things that I value? It's true, I
need to forgive myself and see It's not too late
for something new So when will I live my life just
for me? Yeah when will I live my life just for me?
Yeah maybe I'll live my life just for me?

FUEL TO THE FLAME When I met you I said we would
hang out everyday Now I upset you from a payphone
on Queens West and Bay

She's saying The words I'm saying have lost their
meaning When I'm so far from my aim But trying to
tell me I'm only dreaming Is like adding fuel to
the flame

When I told you I'd buy a brand new car, first
rate That was a lie to you when I got a Civic from
'88

Even though I upset you I think we make a really
good team I think it's coz I love you that I've
been living in a dream And it's you who are that
dream and you've already come true

AFGHAN* Just like the children's sandpit Just
like the wild wild west At random choose a target
It's not enough to be second best

So now you wanna fight them The weaker one is
always wrong Yeah now you wanna fight them A real
man's gotta show the world he's strong

Stuck up, abuse of powers It's a part of a
leader's role ”We only take what's ours” A slick
line to stay in control Hate breeds more hate it's
easy to understand To retaliate and to be a true
macho man goes hand in hand

So show the world you're strong The weaker one is
wrong And I know it won't take long Until they're
dead and gone

GREENER GRASS* I'm not harmonic I can't reach
self-esteem That's quite ironic coz I thought I'd
be living my dream I don't feel supersonic I
don't drive in the lane of whipped cream I'm more
like a chronic ignorantly swimming upstream

What can I do to be happy? I have problems to
decide When it looks to me the grass is greener On
the other side

How do I live for the moment when I always wanna
be else where? How do I reach a fulfilment when
I'm crashed and got parts to repair? Why is my
only amusement giving other people my despair?
Why do I give jealous judgement on another's
affair?

I wanna get satisfaction just like the Stones
and Manu Chao Gotta ignore all rejection I gotta
keep trying anyhow I wanna be close to the action
I wanna live my life now For this correction I
need direction gotta find it within myself somehow

So maybe one day I'll be happy?! But until then I
have to realize That the grass is not always
greener It's only up to me to recognize That the
grass is not always greener It's in your head it
might look greener Coz the grass will never be
greener On the other side

HOME FROM HOME** For six weeks I had this job
cleaning the local hospital The pay was o.k. but I
didn't like to swab so I changed it for a bass
guitar Boredom was my companion stuck to me like
glue But I broke the bond to make some dreams
come true

Like a street to a hustler, a face to the soul
It's the one and the only place we control It's
our reality, not just a poem It's the place that
we call home

For some time I went to school tried to learn
what's right and wrong I didn't like their schemes
I couldn’t buy their rules so I went back to
where I belong You gotta love the sound of that
guitar and the bass The snare it sounds like
gunfire it's like a thousand decibel punch in the
face

East or west? well, home is the best! Though I
sometimes feel like a clown But I've also had the
feeling, Yes! That I’m unstoppable and that no
one can bring me down! Step right in Erase what's
on your mind Step right in Leave everything behind
Leave it behind
