How you function - Norma
What would you do if we were the damned?
The trampled on and the miserable?
Wishing I wasn’t born the day someone
Decided there and then to make us pay
Feeling stronger when you’re with your lot
Scary Weasel and his little friends
Cartoon characters coming alive
See them end up with a brilliant nosedive yeah
What would you say if we ran the joint?
Lay the rules and make the point?
Wishing you weren’t born the day we
Decided here and now to make you pay
This is the assumption
You must know how you function
Behind the enemy lines
Avoiding all the mines
What can I do to make you understand
We never gonna be walking hand in hand
We don’t have to live in a wonderful world
To be walking, talking and to be heard
This is the assumption
You must know how you function
Behind the enemy lines
Avoiding all the mines
You must know how you function

Nail-biting - Norma // www.normanoise.com
What if all the lines upon your face
Would all lead back to a secret place?
Somewhere deep inside your crazy brain
Tying up a knot with thoughts in vain.
And all you wanna do is clear your head
Wash it all away, forget what I said.
But all these words are etched inside
With acid burns you just can’t hide.
When you’re away for good she’s always into me.
When you’re misunderstood she’s always into me.
What if all the thoughts you had today
Would never leave your head and always stay?
Bouncing back and forth against your skull
Running down your spine till you turn dull.
When you’re away for good she’s always into me.
When you’re misunderstood she’s always into me.
You’re doing all right your driveway shows
Two shiny cars in the porch light glows
Still I’m a black cloud in your blue sky
It’ll never work but we can try
When you’re away for good she’s always into me.
When you’re misunderstood she’s always into me.
When you’re away for good she’s always into me.
When you’re misunderstood she’s always into me.

Teenage Dreams - Norma // www.normanoise.com
Getting rid of the posters I’m too old for
These wasted years won’t come anymore
This Nevermind t-shirt and ragged jeans
My souvenirs of long gone teens
Teenage dreams are well out of range, and you are not
All my thoughts are about change, and you are not
All my days are all the same and you are
In lengthy pauses when the music stops
Just while we’re talking our daytime jobs
Teenage dreams are well out of range, and you are not
All my thoughts are about change, and you are not
All my days are all the same and you are not
Teenage dreams are well out of range and you are not

She said - Norma // www.normanoise.com
She said: I’m tired of you ‘cause you always want some more
She said: All the years we spent were such a bore
If only she would ask me
I would surely say so
She said: I’m better off with a whole lot less of you
She said: You’re second best but you never had a clue
If only she would ask me
I would surely say so
It takes a while to distance me from you
And you can see this in everything I do
to make it worse with you.
She said: you only cried one more lousy tear
She said: what’s the use of another drowning year?
If only she would ask me
I would surely say so
It takes a while to distance me from you
And you can see this in everything I do
to make it worse with you.
It takes a while to distance me from you.
And you can see this, and you can see this.
It takes a while to distance me from you, from you.

Illusion & Decay - Norma // www.normanoise.com
Every occasion, every delay is a setback when you are trying to make it on your own
Every illusion, every decay is a backstab when all you want is a reason to be known
Try and loosen up for the weekend
Try and loosen up
Oh so you said I must have known
Always try and loosen up for the weekend
Try to loosen up
Every intrusion, every dismay is a death trap when you are trying to be great all alone
Try and loosen up for the weekend
Try and loosen up
Oh so you said I must have known
Always try and loosen up for the weekend
Try to loosen up
Try and loosen up for the weekend
Try and loosen up
Try and loosen up
Oh so you said I must have known

21 - Norma // www.normanoise.com
I was twenty one, I didn’t need you then
I was on a high and didn’t need you
I was holding on to what I had in mind
And I didn’t mind to hold on to you
Oooh, always 21
Oooh, always 21

Words Mean Nada - Norma // www.normanoise.com
There’s something I should say
I follow you all day
Your photos at the mall
Are on my basement wall
Been watching you at night
Hiding from the side
Waiting in my car
Spying from afar
The lights were on and someone’s on the phone
So is it true that you are not alone?
Words mean nothing
In the end it’s just you and me
Words mean nothing
I stole your number and
Dialed it twice again
I tried to talk to you
But I could not get through
The lights were on and someone’s on the phone
So is it true that you are not alone?
Words mean nothing
In the end it’s just you and me
Words mean nothing
Words mean nothing
Is it true that you are not alone?

Gum on the pavement - Norma // www.normanoise.com
Something that you’re waiting for?
Wasn’t it the other way around?
All you do is waste your time
On something that ain’t never gonna happen
But it’s not your day, when you don’t have your way
Wasn’t it supposed to be like something you knew?
Wasn’t it supposed to be so easy to do?
Yet it’s not.
Is there something that you’re waiting for?
Wasn’t it the other way around?
And you’re so uptight
Stuck as gum on the pavement right?

Hemingway way - Norma // www.normanoise.com
You made me understand you just wanna make me laugh
You made me understand no jokes on your behalf
I wish I could wish you a merry Verona
And all I got you was bloody Pamplona
Blazing heat and a madding crowd
And raging bulls walking all over you
Looking good in Hemingway way
I wonder why he enjoyed his stay
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pada pa pa pa
In a Hemingway way
Hemingway, Hemingway, Hemingway
This is a wasteland, not the slightest attraction
This is a hell with the appeal of a ditch
We have to make a search for a piece of the action
Some change of course in a flick of a switch
You made me understand you wanted to rest
You made me understand you’re getting distressed
well so do I
Looking good in Hemingway way
I wonder why he enjoyed his stay
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pada pa pa pa
In a Hemingway way
Hemingway, Hemingway, Hemingway
Looking good
In a Hemingway, Hemingway way.

Bad Luck For Wilbur Brink - Norma // www.normanoise.com
Defending champion Billy Arnold leads
Accidentally losing one of the wheels
Sailing straight at a wandering boy
2316 Georgetown Road
1931 Indianapolis Race
A case of wrong time, wrong place
Legendary for a different reason
This is the story of the darkest season
Bad Luck for Wilbur Brink
Almost 80 years later on
We still remember in a simple song
We still recall in a trivial way
Wilbur junior who just wants to play
He never knew what was coming to him
Struck by lightning ever so grim
We will remember in a trivial way
Wilbur junior who wanted to stay
Bad Luck for Wilbur Brink
He could have been president
He could have been anything
No paper and ink for Wilbur Brink
Bad Luck for Wilbur Brink
He could have been a talk show host
He could have been making the most
No paper and ink for Wilbur Brink
Bad Luck for Wilbur Brink
Bad Luck for Wilbur Brink
