FLUNK
SUMMER TOUR 2010
ON MY BALCONY
You’ve got it all Six seven times You’ve got it all Makes me feel so fine It’s typical of you
Standing out in the pouring rain It’s typical of you Looking like you do
And the day I’ll catch your eye
Could another chance come by
I should really know by now
Would I ask you anyhow It’s typical of you Looking like you do It’s so typical of you Love me like you do You’ve got it all Six seven times You’ve got it all Makes me feel so fine You’ve got it all Six seven times You’ve got it all Makes me feel so fine It’s typical of you
Standing out in the pouring rain It’s typical of you Looking so good
There’s moonlight and it’s warm outside
Just a little breeze come by
I’m afraid to trip and fall
Do you really excist at all? It’s typical of you Looking like you do It?s so typical of you Love me like you do You’ve got it all Six seven times You?ve got it all Makes me feel so fine It’s typical of you Looking like you do It?s so typical of you Love me like you do You’ve got it all Six seven times You?ve got it all Makes me feel so fine
ALL I WANT TO DO Here comes summer Beaming in through my bedroom window There’s a song on the radio You used to hum back then Here comes summer Still feels fresh as morning air Today I’ll just stay here And do, well, whatever I’ll do whatever Please, make summer last forever All I want to do Is sit here on my balcony And think about you and me And how happy we could be Here comes summer Picking flowers in the early hours Without a care in the world Except perhaps for bees and birds Here comes summer I guess I’ll stick to my master plan Stay away from sea and sand And do, well, whatever Here comes summer Beaming in through my bedroom window There’s a song on the radio You used to hum back then Here comes summer Still feels fresh as morning air Today I’ll just stay here And do, well, whatever I’ll do whatever Please, make summer last forever All I want to do Is sit here on my balcony And think about you and me And how happy we could be Here comes summer Picking flowers in the early hours Without a care in the world Except perhaps for bees and birds Here comes summer I guess I’ll stick to my master plan Stay away from sea and sand And do, well, whatever
Spring To Kingdom Come Sleeping beauty, where have you been
It’s the chill
You should know, I’m counting on you here
Without the thrill
Feels like clouds beneath your wings
I’m waiting for spring to come to my kingdom
It is night, you see it as it is
I manage to get down to the coffee shop
It is dark, have mercy on us all
It’s the big freeze, I feel like a pork chop
You should know, I’m counting on you here
Jesus it’s cold, must be a million below
His kiss, his kiss, his kiss... of spring
Nowhere to go, and the snow still falling
Let’s talk about the weather
Everything’s gone white
And the snow
Still nothing looks bright
Falling from the heavens like crystal feather
There’s no signs of daylight
The power of the powder
Every day is like eternal night
The silence screams louder
I’m out of here soon
I feel cold!
I might be back in June
This is a nation on hold
