BOXX TIKKERS Here I am alone with my thoughts, far away from the vicious onslaught What of life, love and painful decisions, Free as a bird in an invisible prison COS IT’S ALL LIKE CARROT AND STICK, SAY THE ASS LICKERS WITH BOXES TO TICK COS IT'S ALL LIKE WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER, EXCEPT FOR THE ONES WHO ARE PLAYING IT CLEVER Watch yourself cos we’re watching you, taking notes of everything that you do We can tell the things that you like, there’s no where to run and there’s no where to hide YEAH IT’S ALL LIKE CARROT AND STICK, SAY THE ASS LICKERS WITH BOXES TO TICK COS IT'S ALL LIKE WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER EXCEPT FOR THE ONES WHO ARE PLAYING IT CLEVER Rebel if you want to, show the world you care cartel you belong to, says you’re going nowhere Here I am alone with my thoughts far away from the vicious onslaught What of life love and painful decisions, free as a bird in an invisible prison COS IT’S ALL LIKE CARROT AND STICK, SAY THE ASSLICKERS WITH BOXES TO TICK YEAH IT’S ALL LIKE WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER EXCEPT FOR THE ONES PLAYING IT CLEVER.

OH HOW DIFFERENT THINGS COULD BE IF THOSE WHO MATTER COULD AGREE ENEMY ARE YOU PICTURING YOUR FAMILY SINGING CAROLS ROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE ENEMY ESSENTIALLY WE ARE THE SAME A MEGRE PAWN IN SOMEONES GAME BUT THEY WILL NEVER FEEL THE PAIN FINALLY THE WHISTLE BLOWS FOR THE COMMAND AND NOW WE’RE HEADING OUT TO NO MANS LAND SOLO ENEMY AS I LIE HERE FEELING COLD I HOPE OUR STORY WILL BE TOLD AND INTHE FUTURE THERE WILL BE NO MORE ENEMIES

WHAT A LIFE The sun goes up the sun goes down, big old world turns around Busy feet don’t touch the ground, what a life this is Now I aint wealthy or well known, what you see is what I own All I earn is quickly blown, what a life this is Try to break the protocol, find yourself free your soul Step outside the goldfish bowl what a life this is What a life this is Caught up in intensity money blind could not see, all the best things are for free What a life this is Like breathing out and breathing in, the springtime air that warms my skin The flowers bloom the birds that sing What a life this is What a life this is Horizon to horizon the beauty fills my eyes The rhythm of the rainfall A gentle lullaby A pastel coloured rainbow An endless pale blue sky Now as I watch the setting sun there’s dancing hops upon my tongue Think I’ll have another one What a life this is

All so close, and yet so far away, been talking to myself Don’t hear a word I say HAPPINESS, ELUDES ME EVERYTIME HAPPINESS ,WHEN WILL YOU BE MINE? Seems these days , that it’s all take and no give Instead of living the dream, We end up dreaming to live HAPPINESS, ELUDES ME EVERYTIME HAPPINESS, WHEN WILL YOU BE MINE? HAPPINESS WHAT MORE CAN I DO? HAPPINESS HOW I SO MISS YOU OOH OOH REALLY BLUE

NEVER SURRENDER Blood sweat and tears, hills I’ve run over, mountains I’ve climbed The times I’ve said no more, Driven by fear, haunted by failure, cruel critics words Leaving me on the floor Etched in my mind, never surrender Keep moving on, pushing the boundaries, breaking through walls Trying to shut out the pain Picking apart, All of the defects, keeping the faith Just as I’m going insane Etched in my mind, never surrender Keep moving on THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN, FREEZING ICE AND THE SNOW I KNOW I’LL COME AGAIN, I KNOW I’LL COME AGAIN KEEEP MOVING ON Moment in time, shaping my destiny, could be sublime Oh could be ridiculous I’m tight as a drum, feeling the tension And not to mention, all of those nagging doubts Etched in my mind never surrender Keep moving on THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN, FREEZING ICE AND THE SNOW I KNOW I’LL COME AGAIN, I KNOW I’LL COME AGAIN KEEP MOVING ON Keep moving on and on and on keep moving on and on and on keep moving on and on and on Keep moving on

HOW DOES IT FEEL I’m thinking of you walking and running like people do Running through fields running up hills Strolling through forests how does it feel how does it feel I’m thinking of you going wherever you wanted to Jumping off swings climbing up rungs Dancing with girls having such fun how does it feel HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LIKE TO BE LIKE ALL THE OTHERS MY FRIEND HOW DOES ITFEEL TO BE STADING SO TALL I’m thinking of you swimming with dolphins in seas of blue All weightlessness no gravity so liberating totally free how does it feel HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LIKE ALL THE OTHERS MY FRIEND HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE STANDING SO TALL SOLO HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LIKE ALL THE OTHERS MY FRIEND HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE STANDING SO TALL Ooooh ooooh oooh how does it feel x4

MOVING ON Love went down on me, one too many chances No longer roaming free, change of circumstances I guess I never saw, the error of my ways Now bars and plain grey walls are where I spend my days Same old dull routine and time is standing still By keeping my nose clean I hope one day I will BE MOVING ON BE MOVING ON Sun breaks through the clouds a brand new day is dawning A blackbird sings his song to welcome a new morning The quiet empty streets are patiently awaiting The busy rush hour crowds and the journeys they are taking And don’t it just taste fine the sweetness in the air Cos I just got my freedom and love is everywhere AND I’M MOVING ON YEAH i’M MOVING ON COS I I JUST GOT I GOT MY FREEDOM YEAH I I JUST GOT GOT MY FREEDOM I SAID I I JUST GOT GOT MY FREEDOM I I JUST GOT GOT MY FREEDOM YEAH I I JUST GOT GOT MY FREEDOM AND I’M MOVING ON
