Lyrics

 

I wanna be a

Private Jet

I wanna be a private jet

and take you everywhere

You ain’t seen noting yet

we can go anywhere

A fireball across the sky

Hey, that’s just me

letting off some energy

 

I wanna be a private jet

and take you everywhere

You ain’t seen noting yet

we can go anywhere

 

I wanna be a private jet set playboy 
and take you around the world

A million miles a day

that’s how fast I go

I’m out on the runway

and I’m ready for take off

I'm waiting for you,

waiting for you to come

 

Extraordinary Sensations

I needed a lifeboat

or some help to pull the plug

I was about to drown in tears

You came from nowhere with your smiles and hidden charms

I hadn’t felt so good in years

 

Wham – straight into my head

Blam – straight into my bed

Extraordinary sensations

 

The past was present

every hour of the day

I couldn’t talk in present tense

We got together

by a lucky twist of fate

somehow you broke through my defense

 

Misunderstandings followed me around like shadows

But suddenly I’m carefree as can be

 

Wham – straight into my head

Blam – straight into my bed

Extraordinary sensations

 

Speak up, speak out

If you want to aim for perfection

you never gonna find it in me

I think we need a change of direction

to get to where we want to be

 

Speak up, speak out

forget about your pride

Speak up, speak out

don’t keep it all inside

And be to me like you want me to be to you

 

Investigate

I stand accused but you won’t tell me what I’ve done

and I wish that you would

I’m just an ordinary law-abiding guy

who’s completely misunderstood

It’s like a mystery novel

and I can’t reach the last page

 

I have to investigate

the scene of the crime

Hold on to fate

and go back in time

Check every clue and try to

find out what I did to you

 

I’m in the middle of a very strange affair

and the feeling’s no good

Somehow you seem to think that I can read your mind

and I really wish that I could

 

I have to investigate

the scene of the crime

Hold on to fate

and go back in time

Check every clue and try to find out what I did to you

 

I have to find an alibi

I don’t know why but I still try

 

Starshaped World

You always wanted to be

a well known face on tv

It would be so cool

to be next prime time fool

When the new season starts with competition for parts

anything will do

just as long as the drinks are free and the girls scream at you

 

You live in a starshaped word

Congratulations to your seconds of fame

Look at the starshaped world

Humiliation is the name of the game

 

There’s just one little catch

your looks and your talent

don’t match

But that’s a minor detail

for someone who drowns in

fan mail

But the season will end

with a new tv trend

and your face will be replaced

by the next wannabe in line

 

You live in a starshaped word

Congratulations to your seconds of fame

Look at the starshaped world

Humiliation is the name of the game

 

Fireman for a day

A door step full of flowers

phone calls at funny hours

It’s not like I have to look for signs

I observe and draw conclusions

I don’t have any illusions

Your heart is burning for someone new

 

I’ll be a fireman for a day

Put out the flame and make

him pay

I’ll get you back some way

Fireman for a day

 

Outside his car is waiting

You wouldn’t believe how much I hate him

It’s not like my tears are filled with joy

 

I’ll be a fireman for a day

Put out the flame and make

him pay

I’ll get you back some way

Fireman for a day

 

Fire alarms and open arms

I’ll save a cat in a tree

What do you need to change your mind and come back to me?

 

Fast Forward With You

Completely lost in my daydream haze again

It feels like I’m surfing on a star

All I want today, is to forget about yesterday

And go fast forward with you

 

To me it’s real,

it’s not a dream at all

And this could last a million years or more

All I want today, is to forget about yesterday

And go fast forward with you

 

First Division of Love

My silly season runs all year

– year after year

I have to get back into shape

– before it’s too late

Go into training every day

– day after day

And wear my track suit with a smile – mile after mile

But like in football, hockey and basketball

I’ll never play in the first division of love

 

I’ve been a fool who’s played it fair – it got me nowhere

Now I compete and play it rough – but it’s not enough

Cause my ambition is to score

– so much more

I will defend and then attack

– and never look back

But like in football, hockey and basketball

I’ll never play in the first division of love

 

Self-pity Association

Once you were king, it was a blast 
– you ruled the town

Now you’re a shadow of the past


– you’ve lost your crown

Maybe you should consider a membership today

Then you’ll always have someone 
who can make a bad day worse

 

Join the Self-pity Association 
maybe you could find

sympathy 
and real appreciation

Join the Self-pity Association 
with people of your kind

apathy don’t need no inspiration

 

Your friends all left without a trace 
– and made new careers

No new ones came and took their place 
– they’ve been lost for years

You really should apply for a membership today

Then you’ll always have someone 
who can make a bad day worse

 

Bad days turn into weeks and months 
and the years pile up

and the more things change 
the more you stay the same

 

Hayfever

Out there I see the sunny weather

In here I think of us together

But when I stick my nose out

I sneeze and run back in

Summer’s here with that itchy feeling

Hayfever

 

I guess I’ll have to wait for ever

To see the two of us together

Hayfever
