PRECIOUS TIME 

YOU ALWAYS WONDER WHY I DON’T WANT A CHILD

IT’S JUST I REALIZED I AM NOT OBLIGED

I’M A LUCKY GUY, I GOT FREE TIME

KIDS DESERVE PARENTS WHO SACRIFICE THEIR TIME

YOU CAN THINK WHAT YOU WANT

AND TRY TO CONVINCE ME, MY CHOICE IS MADE AND I DESIRE NO CHANGE

SO CAN WE PLEASE JUST AVOID THE TOPIC? LET’S TALK ABOUT MY BAND INSTEAD

DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND? I DO THE WORLD A FAVOR

I DON’T HAVE KIDS, I DON’T WANT KIDS

YOU BEGIN TO KNOW WHY I DON’T WANT A CHILD

PERHAPS I’M SELFISH, MY FREEDOM HAS NO PRICE

TO SUMMARIZE MY FEELINGS, I’M NOT THAT KIND OF GUY

WHO ABANDONN HIS SON AND WHO LEFT HIS WIFE ALONE

IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE AND YET MANY OF US ARE NOT DOING IT RIGHT,

ARE NOT DOING IT RIGHT

GET DRUNK

I DON'T LIKE THIS PARTY, IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME ?

I'M NOT SOCIALLY AKWARD OR ANYTHING

I FIND THIS PARTY BORING I FIND THIS PARTY NERVE-RACKING

THE PROBLEM IS EVERYONE SEEMS TO FEEL HAPPY EXCEPT ME

MY FRIENDS ARE TOO OLD FOR PARTY

THEY’RE TOO TIRED AND GRUMPY

TONIGHT I WANT TO ROCKING TO THE DANCE FLOOR

UNTIL THE SUN RISES UNTIL THE SUN RISES

BUT WE‘RE NOT TOO OLD TO ENJOY THESE THINGS,

WE‘RE NOT TOO OLD TO HAVE A NIGHT OUT

IT LEAVES THE BEST MEMORIES WE CAN SHARE TOGETHER,

RELIVE EVERY DRUNKEN NIGHT

LET’S GET DRUNK JUST TO HAVE FUN ! JUST TO HAVE FUN!

I KNOW THAT I CAN’T LIVE A CAREFREE LIFE JUST LIKE BEFORE

BUT YOU KNOW I NEED SOMETIMES TO ESCAPE FROM MY MIND

TONIGHT I WANT TO ROLLING TO THE DANCE FLOOR

UNTIL THE SUN RISES UNTIL THE SUN RISES

SOMEONE LIKE YOU

I LOVE SITTING AROUND FOR HOURS WHILE SOME DUDE ENLIVENS MY SKIN

I USED TO HAVE A BIT HERE & A BIT THERE, NOW MY WHOLE ARMS ARE INKED

I KNOW SOME OF YOU THINK THAT IS A WASTE OF TIME

OR IT’S MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN

PERHAPS OTHERS SEE ME LIKE A SCARY OUTLAW

A DRUG ADDICT OR AN ALCOHOLIC

THE FACT IS, I DECLARE THAT I AM WHAT I AM

AND I AM NOT A SAILOR, A CRIMINAL OR A THUG

I AM JUST SOMEONE LIKE YOU 

IT DON’T MEANT MAYHEM

IT TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT ME AND MY BACKGROUND

AND I AM NOT SCARED OF PUBLIC OPINION AND I HAVE NO INTENTION OF HIDING WHO I AM

MY IDENTITY, THE PERSONAL EXPRESSION OF MYSELF

I DON’T HAVE CROSSES IN MY ARMS OR THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST

I DON’T SHOW LOVE FOR MY COUNTRY WITH MILITARY DESIGNS

I DON’T HAVE A TEARDROP AROUND THE EYE, I HAVE NEVER KILLED ANYONE

OR A CLOCK WITH NO HANDS I’M A REALLY GOOD GUY

THE FACT IS, I DECLARE THAT I AM WHAT I AM

AND I AM NOT A SAILOR, A CRIMINAL OR A THUG

I AM JUST SOMEONE LIKE YOU 

WHERE TO GO

MOST OF US DON’T KNOW WHAT WE WANT

WE THINK WE DO, BUT WE REALLY DON’T

WE ONLY KNOW WHAT WE DON’T WANT

I DON’T WANT TO DISAPPOINT MY LOVED ONES

THEY WANNA KNOW WHERE DO I GO

HE DOESN’T WANT TO BE POOR HE’S SICK OF EARNING LESS

THAN HIS FRIENDS AND HIS NEIGHBOURS

HE WORKS ALL TIME BUT HE’S STILL NOT SATISFIED

TO ACCOMPLISH HIS GOAL, HE NEVER LOOK BEHIND

I WANNA KNOW WHERE DO HE GO

AT THE END OF THIS SONG, WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT

WE WANT TO EXIST AND WE WANT TO BE LOVE

WE HAVE TO WORK TO BE RESPECTED

BUT DON’T FORGET YOUR FAMILLY, DON’T FORGET TO LIVE

YOU GOT TO KNOW WHERE DO YOU GO

CLEAN

CLEAN OUT ASHTRAYS, START PUTTING THEM AWAY

MAKE PLANS FOR THE DAY, TRY TO KEEP BUSY

TAKE SLOW DEEP BREATHS, RELAX AND FORGET

DRINK WATER SLOWLY, CLEAN OUT MY BODY

TAKE MY MIND OFF SMOKING

BY THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE

I FOCUS ON THE THINGS I AM LOVING.

REWARD MYSELF, EACH DAY AND WEEK

DRINK WIN N’ WHISKY, TRY TO KEEP BUSY

TAKE SLOW DEEP BREATHS, RELAX AND FORGET

DRINK ALCOHOL SLOWLY, DESTROY MY BODY

LEFT BEHIND

YOU HEARD THE SAYING, YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE COUNTRY

BUT YOU CAN NEVER TAKE THE COUNTRY OUT OF THE BOY

I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THEY RUIN MORE AND MORE NATURE

BUT ALWAYS COME BACK TO IT FOR ANSWERS. THINK ABOUT IT

YOU SAY YOU LOVE NEW TECHNOLOGY BUT WHERE DO YOU GO ON VACATION ?

NOT BIG CITIES BUT TO THE COUNTRY 

YOU LIKE TO CAMPING, SWIMMING, WALKING, LAYING IN THE SUN

BUT HAVE YOU TAKEN A CLOSE LOOK AT WHAT IS AROUND US ?

HUMANS ARE EVERYWHERE. THERE IS NO DESERT ISLAND

THERE ARE ALWAYS THE FRAGMENTS AND WRECKAGE THEY HAVE LEFT BEHIND

HUMANS ARE EVERYWHERE THEY DESTROY THE NATURAL WORLD AND WE GATHER THE DETRITUS THEY HAVE LEFT BEHIND

EVERYONE VIEWS BEAUTY IN DIFFERENT WAYS

AND WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE BEAUTIFUL MAY BE

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO HOW OTHER PEOPLE VIEW IT

BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT EVERYONE VIEWS IN THE SAME WAY, THE BEAUTY OF THE LANDSCAPE, THE FORCES OF NATURE, THE BEAUTY OF THE LANDSCAPE, THE FORCES OF NATURE 

GAIN SOMETHING ELSE

THE OLD YOU IS GONE YOU CAN BE WHO YOU WANT

EDUCATE YOURSELF AND LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WORK FOR THEM

NOTHING IS EVER WRONG

WE LEARN FROM EVERY STEP WE TAKE

WHAT EVER YOU DID TODAY WAS A NECESSARY STEP

TO GET TO TOMORROW SO BE PROUD OF YOURSELF

YOU ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU USED TO BE

IT COULD BE HAPPEN AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT MOMENT

NEITHER TOO SOON NOR TOO LATE

FOR EVERYTHING YOU LOSE YOU GAIN SOMETHING ELSE

BEGIN AGAIN WITH WHAT NOW KNOW

DON’T LET YOUR FEARS STOP YOU

GROWTH IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT CHANGE

THE OLD YOU IS GONE

YOU CAN BE WHO YOU WANT

EDUCATE YOURSELF AND LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES

GOOD CHOICE

YOU’RE OFTEN PREOCCUPIED WITH THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS

RESPONSIBILITY PULLS YOU FARTHER AWAY FROM YOUR HOPES

YOU’RE DREAMING OF IMPOSSIBLE OUTCOMES

THE QUESTION IS ALWAYS THE SAME, DID YOU MADE THE GOOD CHOICE ?

COMPLAINING SHOWS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS

SO MOST OF THE TIMES YOU SHUT UP

YOU HAD MADE YOUR DECISION TO WHAT SEEMED THE WISE MOVE

AT THAT TIME

ALL GOOD THINGS HAVE ENDINGS IT'S INEVITABLE

ALL GOOD THINGS HAVE ENDINGS IT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL

NEXT LIFE

IF I AIN’T DRESS UP, I AM OUT OF WORK

IF I AIN’T GOT A JOB, I CAN’T LIVE A LITTLE

IF I AIN’T GOT FREE TIME, I AIN’T GOT A LIFE

I LOST MYSELF, I’M OUT OF MY MIND

THE MORE YOU HAVE, THE MORE YOU ARE

WE HAVE TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE

WHEN I LOOK AT YOU IN MY SOFA BED

LYING PEACEFULLY I THINK TO MYSELF

IT SEEMS EASIER TO BE MY DOG

IF I AIN’T GOT FRIENDS, I STAY ON MY SIDE

IF I AIN’T GOT A WIFE, MY HEART AIN’T ALIVE

IF I AIN’T GOT SOMETIMES A PLACE TO HIDE

I LOST MYSELF, I’M OUT OF MYMIND

I’D RATHER BE MY DOG, NO NEED TO TALKING,

LIKE A WOLF I WILL ONLY CRYING UNDER THE MOON

12

WE'RE STILL TOGETHER AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

WE ARE LIKE TWO TREES THAT HAVE GROWN TOGETHER

WE’RE INSEPERABLE OUR ROOTS ARE ENTWINED

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS WE'RE STILL TOGETHER

WE’RE A TRUE TEAM THE PERFECT PARTNERS

GROWING IN OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER

EACH RESPECTS THE OTHER EACH BRINGS SOMETHING

TODAY WE CAN CELEBRATE OUR PAST YEARS

WE'VE ALL DONE TOGETHER AND CARRY EACH OTHER

WE HAVE BAD TIMES LIKE EVERYONE

WE HAVE ARGUMENTS, THERE'S NOTHING MAGICAL

BUT IF WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS WE SORT THEM OUT

YOU'RE STILL THE ONE I WANNA TALK EVERY DAY

YOU'RE STILL THE ONE I WANNA SEE NEXT TO ME

YOU'RE STILL THE ONE I NEED SINCE MANY YEAR

YOU'RE STILL THE ONE I WANNA FEEL CLOSE TO ME

SO I WRITE THIS SONG TO WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

ACT FIRST, REFLECT LATER ?

WHILE MOST OF US HAVE MOMENTS OF JOY

THEY'RE USUALLY OVERSHADOWED BY REGRET

WE'RE AT A CROSSROAD THE BALL IS IN OUR COURT

WE'RE THE KEEPER OF OUR OWN FUTURE

PERHAPS WE JUST NEED TO ACT FIRST AND REFLECT LATER

PERHAPS WE HAVE THE TOOLS TO SUCCEED AND BEING WINNER

PERHAPS I DON’T NEED A DETAILED ROAD MAP

PERHAPS I JUST NEED TO START MY CAR

WE CAN ONLY CONTROL THE DECISIONS WE MAKE

BUT EVERY SECONDS WE CAN CHANGE IT

SOME DECISIONS ARE MORE ATTRACTIVE

BUT NONE OF THEM ARE REALLY PERFECT

IT’S SIMPLY A MINDSET. IT’S COMPLETELY UP TO US

INSTEAD OF PILING DREAMS WE WILL RISE UP IT’S UP TO US

YOU ARE WHAT YOU WATCH

I HAVEN'T BEEN WATCHING TV FOR A LONG TIME

AND YESTERDAY EVENING I SAW THAT THING

A WOMAN WAS SMASHING BEER CANS WITH THEIR BREATS

I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT ?

EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE ON TV AND READY TO LOOK ABSOLUTELY STUPID

TV SHOW US WHAT THEY WANT US TO SEE MY DVD PLAYER SHOW ME WHAT I WANNA SEE

I PREFER TO SIT AND RELAX IN FRONT OF A GOOD MOVIE

OR JUST GET UP AND GO OUTSIDE AND TURN OFF THIS FUCKIN TV 

THERE’S A LOT OF CRAPPY REALITY TV SHOWS

YOU ARE WATCHING THEM SO THEY KEEP MAKING THEM

CANDIDATES SPEND THEIR TIME INSULTING EACH OTHER

KIDS ADOPTED HABITS OF THESE DUBIOUS CHARACTERS

YOU ARE WHAT YOU WATCH AND WATCHING DUMB PEOPLE

CAN MAKE YOU DUMB TOO

IT ISN'T NEARLY AS REAL AS IT PRETENDS TO BE

THIS IS DONE FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO HUMILIATE PEOPLE

I PREFER TO SIT AND RELAX IN FRONT OF A GOOD MOVIE

OR JUST GET UP AND GO OUTSIDE AND TURN OFF THIS FUCKIN TV 

SO I DON’T HAVE A CABLE TV MY LIFE IS MUCH BETTER EVER SINCE

IT’S LIBERATING TO NOT HAVE THIS CABLE TV, IT SUCKS SO MUCH LIFE OUT OF OUR LIVES

debut album lyrics

BAD MOOD
Just sometimes like today I feel like I am in a bad mood. I just want to shut my eyes and don’t want to talk to you. I wake up and just hate everybody for no reason. I don't know why I guess it just means that I'm human. I'm tired of listening to all your problems. I spend hours struggling with what to say. I'm fed up with trying to please everyone. I just sometimes need a break from it. If I had the choice I stay at home all day. I would not answering the phone and no one will remember me. But I have to ask questions to seem interested.  Even if i don't talk I listen I must do it. I'm tired of listening to all your problems. I spend hours struggling with what to say. I'm fed up with trying to please everyone. I just sometimes need a break from it. I wouldn't change anything I have ever done as for taking care of people. But I'm only one man with only 24 hours in a day

DOG SONG
You're always happy to see me. You jump with joy when I come home. I can leave you home alone. You never talk back to me. You look right at me with a look of concern when I tell you about my rotten day. You make me smile without saying a thing. You offer me truly friendship. I would go crazy if I sat at home all day and did nothing and had nothing to do.  Or if I was waiting for someone I love to come home. like Douglas Mallock said :"Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog but you're never friendless ever, if you have a dog." When I put my dirty clothes. You always think I look good. You are not judgmental you don't know evil. You're always loyal to me you don't know jealousy. You always want to go for a walk. You never refuse to come with me

MISSING SUN
I Can't Wait Til I Can Run Outside. I Head Out To My Favorite Trail With My Dog. I Can’t Wait For Spring I Can’t Wait To Feel The Sun Beating Down. I Need Heat And Roasted In The Sun. I Don’t Need To Take An Expensive Vacation. The Short Days And Long Nights Depress Myself. I Am Prepared To Enjoy Warmer Days To Their Fullest. All I Need Is A Change Of Scenery To Lift My SpiritsAnd Remind Me That Spring Is On Its Way,But Where Is The Sun? It's Raining Outside, It's Still Raining OutsideBut Where Is The Sun ? It's Still Raining Outside. The Only Great Thing About Winter Is That Spring Is Just Around The Corner. I Can’t Wait For Spring, I Can’t Wait To Feel The Sun Beating Down.

I AM NOT
Don’t you just hate the way that People treat each other today. People judge each other without even saying one word to each other. I`m so fucking sick of the stereotypical bullshit image that I am supposed to conform to,be, breathe, think, act, love, and accept. Society label people, dictate to us,how we dress, what we like, how we talk but I am not the boy on the magazine cover. I am not a fan of your french team soccer. I am not your favorite future mainstream singer; All the tv shows are always about being rich and being famous; There's too many pressures telling us how to be and how to do it

MY FRIEND
When i was young it was a way to be cool. today it's just my best friend. no matter how much time I expend on it. it‘s to express my inner feelings. it’s a constant through all of the ups and downs. It’s responds to my emotions. There is nothing better to calm down. it's kind of like meditation. I spend hours pouring out my troubles to my guitar. nothing really takes my mind off shit like strumming the strings. So I grabb my guitar, and play some songs of mine. It's an escape from all the bullshit. I’m write songs and try to find the words. I need to get things off my mind. So I grabb my guitar, and play some songs of mine. It's an escape from all the bullshit. I’m feeling stronger when i find the words. It’s an escape from everything around me

MY PLACE
I live on a mountain with the woods in my backyard and an awesome view from my front porch. It smells good it sounds good It looks good it's perfection. It calms me down i feel protected and safe. It’s where i can escape from society and just feel whole again. It's peaceful and beautiful It’s a place where i am able to clear my mind and explore what this beautiful has to offer. Sitting on my roof makes me feel at peace i feel free. When i'm in anyplace with a lot of buildings, i feel trapped. I prefer my precious place cause it makes me feel connected to the earth. It's a great place to be i couldn't go back to living in town and couldn't imagine myself any place but here. My nearest neighbour is a good distance away from me. If the wind is blowing right i can just hear him from his place

NEW AGE
Does your ipad really make you happy, or for that matter your tv ? They are mostly used to distract you from your hollow existances. Get the "stuff" out of your life. The less we have the easier it is to live, to concentrate on what is important.The things that make us happy cannot be bought. We only need relationships to feel alive. It's not about being anti-technology. It's more about strive for simplicity. You can only wear one pair of shoes at a time. So get the "stuff" out of your life. The less we have the easier it is to live, to concentrate on what is important. The things that make us happy can not be buy. We only need relationships to feel alive. We don't need all your so-called essential items. Its not about materials, status or purchase. You must be the change you want to see in the world. This polluted culture, This polluted environment, Our polluted bodies, Our polluted lives

PERFECT LIFE
We take more than we need. We don’t give something back. We’re never satisfied with what we have. How long can we survive ? Leading the perfect life. Like the proverb says, like the proverb says,"Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will we realise that we can't eat money" Our actions or words impact others. We are so small minded self absorbed. Look at our lifestyle and look around

TAKE CARE
I crave solitude sometimes my brain just needs it. I get recharged by being alone I believe you come next. That’s where I put myself and I make no apologies for it. I don’t think this is because I am selfish or ego-centric. Then why do I do it ? Because I can’t take care of anyone else unless I take care of myself. I need to plan bits of time strictly for myself. I can't be there for my wife and for my friends. sometimes I feel guilty because I value myself but you're much more able to be present if you take care of yourself. Then why do I do it ? Because I can’t take care of anyone else unless I take care of myself. Then why do I do it ? Because I can’t take care of anyone else unless I take care of myself. We are in a much better position to serve others when our basic needs are met. Because I can’t take care of anyone else unless I take care of myself. Then why do I do it ? Because I can’t take care of anyone else unless I take care of myself. We are in a much better position to serve others when our basic needs are met 

TOGETHER
I can be myself when I am with you. You love me even with all my faults. I can be clumsy, unpleasant and foolish. I love the way you keep your cool. thank you to waste your time with me my dear for supporting my faults and indecisions. you must often listen to me my dear. You always have a word of encouragement. I was so sad and lonesome before I met you. You lift me up you make me strong since I met you. I was so sad and lonesome before I know you.You lift me up you make me strong since I know you.You understand me when I am sobbing. you always support me when I am falling. I can tell you anything you will not be shocked. You always bring out the best in me. You help me to keep the faith 

WINTER BLUES
My house is too cold I stayed in bed too late. I drink a coffe while my teeth are chattering. Layering clothes and go outside. Walking through mud mess see nothing I'm blind. An icy wind blows in my face. The night gets the upper hand. Colors disappeared. The snow is everywhere. My car is too old my car is always late. I go into a skid It's like a skating rank. My old wreck dances shaken by the wind. I waste my time see nothing I'm blind. An icy wind blows in my face. The night gets the upper hand. Colors disappeared. The snow is everywhere. I would find a way to hibernate. I would find a way to  wake up in spring

WITH THE LAND

She walk around the mud holes. She's never afraid to get dirty. She soak up the sun. She like to mow the lawn.She set up electric fencing. She's always outside with animals. She goes horseback riding. She don't waste her time watching tv or shopping week in week out. But when I met this girl, she was living in the city. She was growing up in a apartment building. Now she's one of the dirtiest girl you'd ever see but she have a light flowery smell. I'd like to think I had some influence in her transformation but I realize that just living out here has to do with it. Its kinda like a spiritual connection with the land, with the land, with the land. Now she's one of the dirtiest girl you'd ever see but she have a light flowery smell
