I Plead Insanity 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I Plead Insanity I stand accused for treason and proven guilty as can be. You wanna know the reason. Well, there's none that I can see. And you're the judge and jury. Pay no attention to what I say. Just pass the sentence to me. Already lost you anyway. I don't know why, I plead insanity. I don't know why, 'cause it wasn't me, how could it be? Oh, why, I plead insanity. I don't know why, don't know what came over me. Insanity. The trial's unfair and you know it. You reached the verdict long ago. Angry as hell and you show it so I will testify no more. Call off the prosecution. Don't talk of crime and punishment. There is no crime solution, only a lifetime to repent. I don't know why, I plead insanity. I don't know why, 'cause it wasn't me, how could it be? Oh, why, I plead insanity. I don't know why, don't know what came over me. Insanity. Call off the prosecution. It doesn't matter what I say. There's only one conclusion. Let's wrap it up and go separate ways. I don't know why, I plead insanity. I don't know why, 'cause it wasn't me, how could it be? Oh, why, I plead insanity. I don't know why, don't know what came over me. Insanity. I plead insanity. I plead insanity. I plead insanity. I plead insanity.

Let's Die Young 04:05
lyrics

Let's Die Young When she was fifteen she had anxiety attacks And kept her blinds down and started wearing only black Put on her makeup like all the posters on her wall All dark and gloomy, she wasn't like that at all! And I was just a kid, I wondered what she did She said she was my Nancy, but I was not her Sid! I never understood how it could feel so good Just being close to her when she felt bad And she said Let's die young, why don't we both die young? It won't be better than today Let's die young while we're the pretty ones And they'll remember us this way Not old and grey When I was fifteen I felt my life had just begun The world was waiting, so many things yet to be done A pretty young boy, a pretty future right ahead I could turn it over, but I turned to her instead And heaven only knows why we should be so close Alone there in the darkness she looked just like a ghost If she would only smile, just for a little while I knew that it was hidden deep inside But she said Let's die young, why don't we both die young… I caught her eyes today, she turned and looked my way She didn't recognize me, but that's okay I even saw her smile, and she looks so alive Much more alive today than she was then When she said Let's die young, why don't we both die young…

After Before, Before After I used to think I was so smart though still a kid, still young at heart The day when we came together I’d act my age, as I recall Though feeling lost, well weren’t we all those days would change us forever We never knew those days Would be our golden days We were happy there, in a time somewhere After before, before after It really changed my mind, that little space in time After before, before after A little lonely and insecure That is how I was before Waiting for my life to happen And after, though it’s been okay It didn’t turn out quite the way We used to plan it together It’s funny, at the time It didn’t seem so fine We were happy there, in a time somewhere After before, before after It really changed my mind, that little space in time After before, before after We thought we would remain But nothing stays the same We were happy there, in a time somewhere After before, before after It really changed my mind, that little space in time After before, before after

Life As It Slips Away The times when we said life will be what we make it so let's make stars I know we tried The flowers I stole That you wore in your hair to last forever They had to die I remember that immortal feeling Those nights so close to wind and rain Then something changed, but we still tried to feel it We said come summer things will change But summer never came And these are the days I just don't understand And this is real life when it won't go as planned And this is my life as it slips through my hands And these are the words I thought I'd never say And this is where I'm stuck though I shouldn't stay My life as it slips away And while we were walking through fields kissed by god the wind changed direction We knew it would As I walked away as I kissed you goodbye swore I'd return I never could These days I try not to feel like a failure Just make the best of what remains These nights awake staring out of this window I pray come summer things will change What there's left to change And these are the days I just don't understand… These days I try not to feel like a failure Just make the best of what remains These nights awake staring out of this window I pray come summer things will change What there's left to change And these are the days I just don't understand…

I'm Ready For My Close-Up I'm heading straight for the stars tonight. Champagne and luxury cars tonight. I'm ready right now. I'm ready right now. Not gonna stand in the shadow no more. The urge inside me can't be ignored. I'm ready right now. I'm ready right now. "So you better move over, Brando." I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now. I'm ready for my close-up now. I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now. I'm ready for my close-up now. I'm ready for my close-up now. My name in lights is the way it should be. I'm center stage now, all eyes on me. I'm ready right now. I'm ready right now. So sick and tired of modesty. Up on the screen's where I'm meant to be. I'm ready right now. I'm ready right now. "I'm sorry, miss Crawford. I'm just not into women." I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now. I'm ready for my close-up now. I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now. I'm ready for my close-up now. I'm ready for my close-up now. Lights, camera, here's the action. I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now. Leave some room for the main attraction. I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now. Gonna mingle with every actor. I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now. Making love to the film's director. I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now. I'm ready right now... All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

The Secret I used to be so sure Used to think I knew the answer But that was long ago That was long ago, oh-oh We men of science, We men of science We don't wanna believe We just wanna know Men of science, We men of science We only see what you can show But you always seem to be Full of faith and certainty So tell me Tell me the secret Never find yourself alone Never wonder what´s the point So tell me Tell me the secret Tell me the secret I wish I could believe There's a plan, though we can't see it But that don't work for me No that don't work for me, oh-oh We men of science, we men of science We don't take it on faith We take it on fact Men of science, we men of science We want it measured and exact But you always seem to be Full of faith and certainty So tell me Tell me the secret Never find yourself alone Never wonder what´s the point So tell me Tell me the secret Tell me the secret We men of science, we men of science We don't trust in our hearts Just in our minds Men of science, we men of science We really envy you sometimes 'cause you always seem to be Full of faith and certainty So tell me Tell me the secret Never find yourself alone Never wonder what´s the point So tell me Tell me the secret And you seem to be so sure Never ask what life is for So tell me Tell me the secret And when things don't go your way All you have to do is pray So tell me Tell me the secret Tell me the secret

Don't Let Go 03:37
lyrics

Don't Let Go Maybe I was naive for believing that I'd finally found something real. But we had a connection. It felt like perfection. I thought we were stronger that steel. Now you're telling that we are over, and you've fallen for somebody new. My whole body is shaking and my heart is aching. I can't carry on without you. Don't let go. Oh please don't let me go. Every inch of me is crying out: I need you so. Don't let go, I can't stop begging no no no no no. I know we could make love grow. Just don't let go. Yes I know that I sound kinda desperate. My friends tell me that I should move on. But I just can't control it. I feel like an addict. If you go all our dreams will be gone. Can't imagine to live life without you. so I'm hoping that you'll change your mind. Darling, don't be a quitter. Tell me you'll reconsider. We just can't leave our loving behind. Don't let go. Oh please don't let me go. Every inch of me is crying out: I need you so. Don't let go, I can't stop begging no no no no no. I know we could make love grow. Just don't let go. My whole body is shaking. And my heart is aching. I can't carry on without you. Darling, don't be a quitter. Tell me you'll reconsider. We just can't throw our loving away. Don't let go. Oh please don't let me go. Every inch of me is crying out: I need you so. Don't let go, I can't stop begging no no no no no. I know we could make love grow. Just don't let go.

We Have Built A Satellite (To Make It Crash) I've got a feeling about this I don't think it's gonna work We deal with serious things here And might get seriously hurt We found a blueprint at K-Mart It's hieroglyphics I must say So let's not dabble with theory We'll have to do this our own way We have built a satellite And we're gonna make it fly We have built a satellite to make it crash We have built a satellite And we're reaching for the sky We have built a satellite to make it crash But wait a minute, what's happening? There's something humming deep inside Down in the circuits and wires Our piece of art has come alive We don't know just what we're doing The science we don't understand It's just a pile of components All put together by chance We have built a satellite And we're gonna make it fly We have built a satellite to make it crash We have built a satellite And we're reaching for the sky We have built a satellite to make it crash And we wait for the crash Yeah, we wait for the crash Okey, let's see if it's working Pull every switch and turn the key Initial sequence and countdown now we can only wait and see We have built a satellite And we're gonna make it fly We have built a satellite to make it crash We have built a satellite And we're reaching for the sky We have built a satellite to make it crash And here comes the crash….

Eurotix Gävle, Sweden

Eurotix are ready to put the "pop" back in synthpop. Members Dennis Alexis Hellström (vocals) and Larry Forsberg (keys and knobs) both share a passion for 1980's music, so their songs are heavily influenced by the synthpop, italo and euro disco sound of that era. But with a modern twist. ... more
