Polar Bear [ < top ]

I'm a polar bear
A polar bear in a zoo
Pace back and forth
Pace back and forth

I'm a polar bear
Polar bear in a zoo
Pace back and forth
Pace back and forth

Stuck in this cage
Stuck here with you
Pace back and forth
Pace back and forth

Stuck in this cage
Stuck here with you
Creep up on me
I'll creep up on you

And here we are
Stuck here with you
Creep up on me
Creep up on me

And here we are
I'm stuck here with you
You fence me in
I'll turn on you.

Rock You Monkeys [ < top ]

I want the high life
I want bananas
I want a brother and sister in Havana
I wanna get laid by the C.I.A.
I'm on my way to the U.S.A.

I want a green card
I want freedom
Take me to your leader 'cos I wanna meet him
My people are cold
My country is old
But my drugs are cool
And the prices are good so

Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Now get your things and go
Away

I want cocaine by the barrel
I trade it for oil and top camel
Life's a gas
Life's a bitch
Fucked in the ass by a pinko snitch

So rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Now get your things and go

Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Now get your things and go

Now I'm the president
And I like it
A fully fledged bible black-belt tyrant
The F.B.I. the C.I.A.
Oh, fuck me, fuck me U.S.A.

Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Now get your things and go

Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Rock you monkeys
Now get your things and go

Now get your things and go
Now get your things and go
Now get your things and go

Die Laughing (Live) [ < top ]

Here we go

Yeah

Gimme something to breathe
Give me a reason to live
Close your eyes and see
What you have inside

I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane

Now the dream is gone
And your friends just tell you lies
Then you realise
You're gonna die anyway

I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane

Go!

Lost in a world with no reality
I'm frightened to move
I'm frightened to speak
And I will kill for a good night's sleep
I'm feeling, I'm feeling dead, dead, dead, dead

Yeah

I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane

I can't remember
Come on
I can't remember
Yeah
I can't remember
I can't remember

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen
