DON’T FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
Follow your dreams
It was written on the school’s wall
Follow your dreams
Once I read it on a billboard
I say it depends
If your dream is to slaughter dolphins
With your bare hands
If your dream is to get a crocodile
And train it to use forks
And then feed it your mother’s corpse
Then don’t follow your dreams
In fact turn yourself in
You’re a dangerous individual
Just be yourself
No matter what
You’re free to be and do
Whatever you want
I’d rather see the plan
If you’re gonna shave a baby panda
Just because you can
If you’re gonna hang your daughter
To the neck of a giraffe
For a laugh
Then don’t be yourself
In fact be someone else
You’re a dangerous individual
Don’t follow your dreams
Stop following your dreams
Stop following me

THE EXTRA MILE
The extra mile
You say it when you talk about someone
Who would make the extra effort
What for?
‘Cause this is the point
What are we making an effort for?
What are we making any effort for?
A house, a relationship, a cause?
A job, a family, an item of furniture?
I’m not one to slack off
Unless I feel what I do has got no purpose
But even in that case
I will apply myself occasionally
But I’ve got to see the point
In what I’m putting my time into
I’ll run the extra mile
For something that’s worth
But what is something that’s worth?
They say less is more
But sometimes less is just less
What’s worth is getting less and less

WILDLIFE BLUES
As you can tell I’m fascinated by animals
Not even necessarily exotic ones
So I travelled the world
‘Cause I wanted to see them a lot
But when I’m around
They are not
So I got the wildlife blues
About the animals I wanna see
I got the wildlife blues
Or it has got me
Most of my friends have seen a chimpanzee
Not me
One day I saw a pig
It was big
Once I thought I’d seen a snake
It was fake
So I got the wildlife blues
About the animals I wanna see
I got the wildlife blues
Or it has got me

I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG
I’ve drawn a line on the floor
To divide what’s mine from yours
It’s on the floor I’ve drawn a line
To divide what’s yours from mine
I’ve been thinking all day long
I am right and you are wrong
We don’t need to get into a fight
‘Cause you are wrong and I am right
I am a bird
You’re a truck
The sound of your voice
That of an engine approaching
And like a pigeon on the road
Dodging a car at the last moment
I dodge your judgement
I’ve been thinking all day long
I am right and you are wrong
We don’t need to get into a fight
‘Cause you are wrong and I am right

I blow your nose

I BLOW YOUR NOSE
Of all the expressions of love
Holding hands is one of them
And a kiss is just a kiss
Is it just a kiss, though?
I don’t think so
It’s fluids that we exchange
With essentially a stranger
Ain’t that impressive?
Oh but your nose is really well done
Your nostrils are tunnels to the stars
I feel so close
I blow your nose
We can discuss that issue
But first pass that tissue

THE PAIN IS YOURS
The pain is yours
Keep it safe
The pain is yours
Give it a place
Let it cast a shadow on you
Let it build a darker room
The pain is yours
It sucks indeed
The pain is there
In your times of need
Let it pour from your face
It’ll wear out at its own pace
The pain is yours
Let it pass
The pain is yours
Nevertheless
