Lyrics

99 Nails
Barcelona
Chilling in the sun
Clown in town
I don't know why
I've stumbled
Little bit of loving
Pas de chance
Rosie
We all stay calm
What it's all about

99 Nails

I've known pain and misery
I've felt the weight of the world falling down on me
I've seen the skies being torn apart in front of my eyes
I've felt 99 nails being hammered in my heart

I've gone wild so many times
A bad trip in my head has messed up my mind
That's when I knew I was going mad I'm telling you
I've felt 99 nails being hammered in my heart

Barcelona

We stuck out our thumbs and went down to Barcelona
Sitting down by the steps with nothing in our heads
And the sun that is able to stone you

We were doing some songs waling down the Ramblas
I don't know what it is, I don't know what it was
But something there just called us

Skwibidabidapdapdabado dao dao dao dapdadapdao
Skwibidabidapdapdabadaodao

And at night on the boulevards we played the violin and the guitars

We were not the only one to play out a song it was a big jam
Bootsie, Spence and his wags stopped for a fag
so I gave them one

All together for the fight at night talking about a revolution
Saying that we have to unite all together and fight
There's no time for evolution

Skwibidabidapdapdabado dao dao dao dapdadapdao
Skwibidabidapdapdabadaodao

And at night on the boulevards we played the violin and the guitars

Skwibidabidapdapdabado dao dao dao dapdadapdao
Skwibidabidapdapdabadaodao

Chilling in the sun

There was a time there were no bridges and no cars
a long time ago there weren’t even bars, just houses
There was a time there were no books and no schools
A long time ago there weren’t even rules, no democracy
Because everybody was just chilling in the sun

There was a time there were no phones and no bikes
No shotguns and no dynamite, just rocks
There was a time there was no electricity
No pollution and no factories

Because everybody was just chilling in the sun
Playing coconut football all day long
Everybody was just having a ball
Nothing but the day to live for

Some had to go out for food but they didn’t really mind
Because the next day someone else would go

Everybody was just chilling in the sun
Playing coconut football all day long
Everybody was just having a good time
Nothing but the day to live for

There was a time there were no train and no planes
No money and no money-making games and no criminals
There was a time there were no wars and no shame
No possession and no names at all

Because everybody was just chilling in the sun
Playing coconut football all day long
Everybody was just having a ball
Nothing but the day to live for

There was a time there was no TV, no prisons and no DVD
There was a time there was no radio, no pollution and no ghetto's
Because everybody was just chilling in the sun
Playing coconut football all day long
Everybody was just having a ball
Nothing but the day to live for

Clown in town

They call me a clown in town but I'm taking my chances
I'm gonna go do what I want I won't ever be helpless
Some call me a joker, some call me mad Joe
Some call me a crazy cowboy
But it doesn't really matter at all

You gotta believe in life don't ever slow down
Use all that you've got right now
You gotta use your own voice go make your own choice
Don't care about the clothes you wear
Because it doesn't really matter at all

All day long we're looking in the mirror trying to get the answer
But it ain't getting clearer at all

The call me a clown in town but I'm staying with my circus
With my friend Ellie the elephant and Wallie the walrus
And with Tyra the tiger all we need is togetherness
We don't care about the rest>br> Because it doesn't really matter at all

All day long we're looking in the mirror trying to get the answer
But it ain't getting clearer at all

Nothing ain't ever getting clearer
If you don't make no effort at all
The answer might just be nearer than you know
And all that you've got to do is let go
^

I don't know why

I don't know why but it's not the same
Because every time that I hear your name
I think of then and I start to shake
Now I'm sad but it's ok

Even though we've fallen apart
I still hope you'll stay in my heart
As a friend, nothing more
And nothing less as it should've been before

I suppose it had to be like this
So you my friend, don't you think
That you're the only one to blame
Because we both know it's not that way

Even though we've fallen apart
I still hope you'll stay in my heart
As a friend, nothing more
And nothing less as it should've been before

Now the time has come to say
Goodbye and to go away
I'm trying to stand tall
But I have to accept it all

Even though we've fallen apart
I still hope you'll stay in my heart
As a friend, nothing more
And nothing less as it should've been before
^

I've stumbled

I've stumbled on every sidewalk
Walked on every rocky road
Lost myself more than once
With no place to call my home
But it's alright

I've struggled walking on a tightrope
Standing on the bottom of the sea
Floating in another dimension
With no place to get back for me
But it's alright

Sometimes life might be holding you down
And all that you've been looking for might not be around
Sometimes life might put you on hold
And all that you've been looking for might be lost and sold
But it's not. It's all around you but you've got to open up

I've stumbled on every sidewalk
Walked on every rocky road
Lost myself more than once
With no place to call my home
But it's alright

Sometimes life might be asking too much
And you just cannot seem to get out and everything seems lost
But it's not. It's all around you but you've got to open up
^

Little bit of loving

Feels like I can win any fight, any battle
Any world championship if I just put my mind to it
I could go around the earth a thousand times
Without aching once

And all that I need is just a little bit of loving

Feels like I can lift up anything, any building
Even the Mount Everest just by using my own strength
I could fly us to the moon without a sigh
Without aching once

And all that I need is just a little bit of loving
All that I need is your time
all that I need is just a little bit of loving
Come on baby give me your peace of mind

My brother says I'm crazy
He says I'm always singing these songs about how
Something should be seen but I know I can do it all
Just by believing it

And all that I need is just a little bit of loving
All that I need is your time
all that I need is just a little bit of loving
Come on baby give me your peace of mind

Feels like I can cut through any wood, any metal
Any akward substance just by using my own hand
I can fly to the sun without a sigh
Without aching once
^

Pas de chance

Quand je pense je me demande quand ma chance va commencer
Chance et si j'ai de la chance quand va-t-elle me laisser tomber?

Pas de chance

C'est quelque chose en moi
Quoi que ce soit cela se n'ira pas
Personne peut m'aider
C'est quelque chose qui vient de soi

Pas de chance

Rosie

Rosie is sweet like my grandmother's meatballs
Rosie is sweet she's like honey to me
Rosie is fine she's a lovely little lady
Rosie is what I need

Rosie is sweet like my grandmother's creamcake
Rosie she turns the smile on my face
Rosie is fine and full of adventure
Rosie is what I need

She's a lovely little lady
She's my kind of girl
She's making me crazy
Taking over my world

Rosie is sweet like my grandfather's brandy
Rosie I think she has cracked my code
And all that I need is to be together
Rosie is what I need

She's a lovely little lady
She's my kind of girl
She's making me crazy
Taking over my world

She's always on my mind
She's one of a kind
She's a sweet little lady
She's all that I need
She's taking me higher than I've ever been

We all stay calm

Let me start off really quick
Some people in this world really make me sick
They just care about themselves
They don't mind their brothers are dying in hell
Is it ever gonna change?
I think the world will keep on spinning this way

Because we all stay calm and turn on the TV
We're all hypnotized, leaning back easily
We all turn our heads when the problems get too close
We're all braindead and falling out of control

Some statements seem fair
Saying they've already given their efforts now they want their share
But others got ignorance in their brain
It won't go away, it will stay the same
We've got to open up their eyes
But instead all we do is enjoy the ride

We all stay calm and turn on the TV
We're all hypnotized, leaning back easily
We all turn our heads when the problems get too close
We're all braindead and falling out of control

Some people will just stay
Sitting on their big butt anyway
All the hours that they lose
Because in fact they don't know how to choose
We've got to open up their eyes
But instead all we do is enjoy the ride

We all stay calm and turn on the TV
We're all hypnotized, leaning back easily
We all turn our heads when the problems get too close
We're all braindead and falling out of control

Howcome we haven't figured it out by now?
Howcome we all just stay the same?
Without having a doubt
Howcome everybody's thinking about somebody else?
We've got to take a look inside

What it's all about

Hello don’t you know I’m gonna make it through
With my touchscreen organizer and a microphone in my shoe
There’s nothing for me to fear because I’ve got a phone hanging up in my ear
There’s nothing for me to doubt because I’ve found out
What it’s all about

And so on as it goes I’m gonna make my moves
I got a chimney built up my car that I never use
I got a plane with golden seats in it, ain’t that great for me
With nothing for me to doubt because I’ve found out
What it’s all about

I’m gonna go with the flow don’t you know I’m gonna make it through
I got GPS and MP3 and a microwave in my shoe
I’m gonna try to make a stand with a million dollar ring on my hand
But there's nothing and no more to fear for no more for me
What it’s all about

I'm always fully equiped that's my kind of trip
I've got a car that turns into a boat while I take another sip
There's nothing for me to give because I still want my time to live
And there’s nothing for me to doubt because I’ve found out

What it’s all about
