7" Lyrics 12" Lyrics LP Lyrics CD Lyrics

7" NU 11

 

Here am I
Like a target in flesh
One more time
For you to call out the dogs
Passengers
With a ticket to burn and burn and burn
You will learn
I'm still waiting for you, you know, you know

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

Like down, like down

I don't need
This attention again
I've lost time
I could lose everything
You will learn
That you've nowhere to go, so go, so go

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
I Don`t like this new anger
These young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, I`m so nervous
The DJ says `who are you`
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again

 

 


 

12" NUM 11

Here am I
Like a target in flesh
One more time
For you to call out the dogs
Passengers
With a ticket to burn and burn and burn
I`m burnt out
They wont leave me alone, alone, alone

Talk flesh, you left a taste in my mouth
You will learn
I'm still waiting for you, you know, you know

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
I Don`t like this new anger
These young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, I`m so nervous
The DJ says `who are you`
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

Like down, like down

I don't need
This attention again
I've lost time
I could lose everything
I told you, this is all just show, you know, you know

Talk flesh, doesn't win you a prize
You will learn
That you've nowhere to go, so go, so go

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
I Don`t like this new anger
These young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, I`m so nervous
The DJ says `who are you`
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
I Don`t like this new anger
These young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, I`m so nervous
The DJ says `who are you`
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
I Don`t like this new anger
These young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, I`m so nervous
The DJ says `who are you`
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
I Don`t like this new anger
These young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, I`m so nervous
The DJ says `who are you`
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
