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 03:41
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 03:11
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 01:01
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
