Millencolin – The Melancholy Connection

Millencolin - Duckpond LIVE

Everybody is leaving from this town and from me.
They've got the burning flame, they sure achive their aim.
You know that's tough for me to see.
Oh, how I wish that I could do the same as them and go.
Just pack my bags and good-bye.
Get out fast or fade away real slow.

What you see is what you get right here.
Where a change is nowhere near.
What you see is what you get from me.
In this duckpond, leave me be.

I pretend my life is perfect like the faces on TV.
Yeah, that's the only way to face another day.
Try to deny the misery.
But those are the ways of looney's and like a clown.
Yeah, I do act.
No matter where I could be or would like to go.
I'm stuck here. That's a fact.

What you see is what you get right hear.
Where a change is nowhere near.
What you see is what you get from me.
In this duckpond, leave me be.

I'm too weak I'm down on my knees.
Too feeble for something new.
Feels like there's nothing I can do.
Keep on laughing 'bout me.
Keep on doing your own.
But someday I will be that one.
Be that one.
Yeah, someday I will be that one...
Be that one.
Be that one.
Yeah, somday I will be that one...
Be that one.
Yeah, someday I will be that one...

Millencolin - Ray

Hey what the hell do you want me to do?
Hey does it look like I'm static to you?
Well you might look twice
'cause I'm moving
OK you see that I can walk which is good,
but still you're trying to make me talk like you would
Your intention's nice, you're improving

For all you know
you're doing fine,
but I guess it shows
that even jewelry that's fake do shine

So shut your mouth now big boy
I'm just myself not your toy
It's in my nature to be changing
Now is it so hard to see?
You can not make me to be
someone who never will be changing

So what the hell do you want me to say?
Another halting rhyme, another cliche
Well you might be right this one time
You take for granted I'm your servant subdued
It doesn't make sense to me, but to you
So here's one last bright make shift rhyme

For all you know I'm just a fool
but I guess that shows
that you can not judge the dog just by it's drool

So shut your mouth now big boy
I'm just myself not your toy
It's in my nature to be changing
Now is it so hard to see?
You can not make me to be
someone who never will be changing

I'm losing you for a big smile on my face
You're nothing new and not hard to replace
I'm losing you but I'm not losing ground
So Peekaboo!
And you won't be around
you won't be around...
you won't be around...

So shut your mouth now big boy
I'm just myself not your toy
It's in my nature to be changing
Now is it so hard to see?
You can not make me to be
someone who never will be changing

'Cause I change with time and that's not a crime
Someone like you can not derange me
Yeah I change with time and that's not a crime
It's in my nature to be changing, changing!
