MEDAZZALAND / 1997

Medazzaland

oh medazzaland
I have a problem they said they can solve
soon I won't speak
I have no words left in me
I dream in pictures
but the sound is muted
I have no way to understand what they say

into medazzaland

people are starting to talk
but I don't hear them any more
now I can't see
but I am still able to think
do I have any feeling left
what are they saying about me
do they really understand what's wrong
I feel their hands on my skin
the time has come for them to begin
I'm sinking deeper and deeper

into medazzaland

I can feel the scalpel on my skin
it's cutting in
deeper and deeper

I'm in medazzaland

oh medazzaland
BIG BANG GENERATION

falling into space
at the end of time
black as the black in your eye
staring through a hole in the ozone
there's nobody home
to play back your ansaphone
climax out of the blue
is it just another high
no there must be something new
now that I'm so alien

entering the atmosphere
don't know what is waiting here- oh no
if there's nothing left to fear
when we come together in the
big bang generation

teardrop in the sky
bursting my eye
sound of morning sighs
this life is stranger than fiction
surreal addiction
it's all I recognize
feeding off the habit
losing control
where is it leading
now that I'm the alien

entering the atmosphere
don't know what is waiting here- oh no
if there's nothing left to fear
when we come together in the
big bang generation

feel like I'm losing control
big bang generation
now that I'm here all alone
big bang generation
feel like I'm losing control
big bang generation
feel like I'm losing it
we're gonna come together here

where you coming from
when we gonna burn out- don't know
having so much fun
greetings from the big bang generation
big bang generation

meet you in the big bang generation
together in the big bang generation
together we're the big bang generation
GENERÁCIA VEĽKÉHO TRESKU

Padajúc do vesmíru
Na konci časov
Čierneho, ako čierna v tvojich očiach
Nazerajúc cez dieru v ozóne
Nie je tam nikto
Kto by si prehral tvoj odkazovač
Nečakané vyvrcholenie
Je to len ďalšia výška?
Nie, musí tam byť ešte niečo nové
Teraz, keď už som taký mimozemský

Vstupujúc do atmosféry
Neviem,, čo ma tam čaká – ooh nie
Keď už nie je čoho sa báť
Keď ideme spolu v
Generácii veľkého tresku

Slza na oblohe
Spaľuje moje oko
Zvuky ranných vzdychov
Život je čudesnejší, než fikcia
Bizarná závislosť
To je jediné, čo rozoznávam
Prežívajúc len zo zvyku
Strácam kontrolu
Kam to vedie?
Tam, že je zo mňa mimozemšťan

Vstupujúc do atmosféry
Neviem, čo ma tam čaká – ooh nie
Keď už nie je čoho sa báť
Keď ideme spolu v
Generácii veľkého tresku

Cítim, že strácam kontrolu
Generácia veľkého tresku
Teraz, ako som tu úplne sám
Generácia veľkého tresku
Cítim, že strácam kontrolu
Generácia veľkáho tresku
Cítim, že ju strácam
Prídeme sem spolu

Odkiaľ prichádzaš?
Kedy nám dôjdu sily? – Neviem
Tak dobre sa bavíme
Pozdravuje vás generácia veľkého tresku
Generácia veľkého tresku

Stretneme sa v generácii veľkého tresku
Spolu v generácii veľkého tresku
Spolu sme generácia veľkého tresku
ELECTRIC BARBARELLA

I knew when I first saw you on the showroom floor
you were made for me
I took you home and dressed you up in polyester
princess of my dreams, emotionless and cold as ice
all of the things I like
the way you look
the way you move
the sound you're making
in ultra-chrome latex and steel

I plug you in
dim the lights
electric barbarella
your perfect skin
plastic kiss
electric barbarella
try to resist
then we touch
hallucinate and tranquilize

she's so fine, she's all mine

our private life is subject to investigation
no time to waste
people say they heard about our deviation
but you never looked so good
wear the fake fur and fake pearls for me
put on your mystery
the way I feel you know I never keep you waiting
in ultra-chrome latex and steel

I plug you in
dim the lights
electric barbarella
your perfect skin
plastic kiss
electric barbarella
try to resist
then we touch
hallucinate and tranquilize

princess of my dreams
princess of my dreams
major domo plasticomo barbarella
she's so fine
pro-genetic you electric barbarella
she's all mine
my pretty pretty pretty pretty barbarella
barbarella

ELEKTRICKÁ BARBARELLA

Ked somťa prvý raz videl na výstave, vedel som,
že si stvorená pre mňa
Vzal somťa domov a obliekol do polyersteru
Princezná mojich snov
Bez citov a studená akoľad
Všetko z vecí, ktoré sa mi páčia
Spôsob, akým sa dívaš
Spôsob, akým sa pohybuješ,
Zvuk, ktorý vydávaš
V ultra-chrómovom latexe a oceli

Zapnem siťa,
stlmím svetlá,
elektrická Barbarella,
Tvoja perfektná koža,
plastický bozk
elektrická Barbarella,
Pokús sa odolať
Potom sa dotkneme
Halucinujeme a upokojujeme

Je tak fajn, je celá moja

Nášživot je predmetom vyšetrovania
Nemáme kedy strácaťčas
Ľudia vravia,že počuli o našej úchylke
Ale ty si nikdy nevyzerala tak dobre
Nos kvôli mne falošný kožuch a perly
Obleč sa do záhady
Spôsob,čo cítim, vieš,žeťa nikdy nenechámčakať
V ultra-chrómovom latexe a oceli.

Zapnem siťa,
stlmím svetlá,
elektrická Barbarella,
Tvoja perfektná koža,
plastický bozk
elektrická Barbarella,
Pokús sa odolať
Potom sa dotkneme
Halucinujeme a upokojujeme

Princezná mojich snov
Majordomus plastiková Barbarella
Je tak pekná
Pro-genetická ty elektrická Barbarella
Je celá moja
Moja pekná, pekná, pekná Barbarella
Barbarella

OUT OF MY MIND

Light a candle
Lay flowers at the door
For those who were left behind
And the ones who've gone before
But here it comes now
Sure as silence follows rain
The taste of you upon my lips
The fingers in my brain
Ever gentle
As it kills me where i lay
...who am i to resist?
Who are you to fail?

Got to get you out of my mind
But i can't escape from the feeling
As i try to leave the memory behind
Without you what's left to believe in

And i could be so sorry
For the way it had to go
But now i feel your presence
In a way i could not know
And i wonder
Do you ever feel the same
In whispering darkness
Do you ever hear my name?

Got to get you out of my mind
But i can't escape from the feeling
As i try to leave the memory behind
Without you what's left to believe in?

How can you dare
To become so real
When you're just a ghost in me...
And i've

Got to get you out of my mind
But i can't escape from the feeling
As i try to leave the memory behind
Without you what's left to believe in?

Here in the back of my mind
DOSTAŤ ZO SVOJEJ MYSLE

Zapáľ sviečku
Polož kvety pred dvere
Pre opustených
A tých, ktorí odišli predtým
Ale teraz to prichádza
S istotou, ako dážď nasleduje po tichu
Tvoja chuť na mojich perách
Prsty v mojej duši
tak jemné
ako ma to zabíja tam, kde ležím
kto som , aby som odolal?
Kto si, aby si zlyhala?

Musímťa dostať zo svojej mysle
Ale nemôžem uniknúť pocitu,
keď sa pokúšam vymazať spomienky,
Bez teba včo mi ešte zostáva veriť

A môžemľutovať
spôsob, akým to muselo ísť
Ale teraz cítim tvoju prítomnosť
Spôsobom, ktorý som nemohol poznať
A som zvedavý,
či si niekedy cítila to isté
Všepkajúcej tme
Počula si niekedy moje meno?

Musímťa dostať zo svojej mysle
Ale nemôžem uniknúť pocitu,
Keď sa pokúšam vymazať spomienky,
Bez teba včo mi ešte zostáva veriť

Ako sa opovažuješ
stať sa tak skutočnou
Keď si iba duchom vo mne.
A ja

Musímťa dostať zo svojej mysle
Ale nemôžem uniknúť pocitu,
Keď sa pokúšam vymazať spomienky,
Bez teba včo mi ešte zostáva veriť

Tu vzadu mojej mysle
Who Do You Think You Are?

I'm giving you the news
your domination's through
you gave the best you got
now I'm out on top

if you're in any doubt- listen to me
I've got a right to say
if you know what it's all about
who do you think you are

don't want to be your enemy
if I'm not the one you want me to be
and I've got to do the things the way I do

always trying to control me
who do you think you are

our time on earth is running through
this is not a question of my pride
sometimes I think it's a game to you
ever wonder how I feel inside
and sometimes I play along but man I've got a mind

you've got to live with yourself for the rest of your life
do you understand
everybody asks themselves the question
who do you think you are

why do you feel ashamed
when you can't explain
the things I say
to other people

It's just occurred to me
a possibility
the thought that you might really want to be me
Silva Halo

you shine
where others fade
you dare
to be so brave

don't compromise
no-one can touch you
just believe
just believe

come to heaven silva halo
come to heaven silva halo
silva halo
silva halo
Be My Icon

I follow you I wait for you
you know there's no escape from me
you're more than wallpaper in my room
I write you letters and bring you gifts
I'm going through all your trash
I love you so much I keep your cigarette butt

now is the time to come out
come out of the shadows

no need to be scared
you're gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
now you can be my icon

I'm out on the edge
there's no way back inside
all my friends are gone they didn't understand me
it makes so much sense
it's no coincidence
just you and I alone here
and I need you know

no need to be scared
you're gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
now you can be my icon

no need to be scared
you're gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
now you can be my icon

I know this is real
believe it we belong together
whatever happens
you're gonna be with me forever

be my icon
you will be my icon
be my icon
you will be my icon
be my icon
BURIED IN THE SAND

Can't say that I was suprised
when you broke the ties
they were hanging by a thread

But now I have realized
it couldn't be the same,
coz everything has changed

And still I held out my hand
tried to pull you back
but you were buries in the sand

I'm glad that you came along
but here our journey ends
I say goodbye to you
my very dear friend

You were buried in the sand
(You were buried in the sand)
Head buried in the sand
(Head buried in the sand)
You were buried in the sand
(You were buried in the sand)
Head buried in the sand
(Head buried in the sand)
You are buried
You are buried

POCHOVANÝ V PIESKU

Nemôžem povedať,že som bol prekvapený
Keď si prelomil putá
Viseli na vlásku

Ale teraz som si uvedomil
Nemohlo to byť to isté
Pretože všetko sa zmenilo

I tak som načiahol ruku
Pokúšal sa pritiahnuťťa naspäť
Ale ty si bol pochovaný v piesku

Som rád,že si prišiel,
Ale tu naše cesty končia
Poviem ti zbohom
Môj veľmi drahý priateľ

Bol si pochovaný v piesku
(Bol si pochovaný v piesku)
Hlava pochovaná v piesku
(Hlava pochovaná v piesku)
Bol si pochovaný v piesku
(Bol si pochovaný v piesku)
Hlava pochovaná v piesku
(Hlava pochovaná v piesku)
Si pochovaný

Si pochovaný

Michael You`ve Got A Lot To Answer For

I came over your place today
in a round-a-bout sort of way
nothing holding me just the company
gentle killing of the afternoon

don't ever try to be any more
michael you've got a lot to answer for
you unlock some of the doors to my soul

then I don't see you for awhile
thinking of you will make me smile
you never bother me with responsibility
misbehaving in candlelight

don't ever try to give any more
michael you've got a lot to answer for
you got me waking up wide to the world

trust you get caught up in somebody's war
you'll come out of it intact I'm sure
just remember what friends were put here for
michael you've got a lot to answer for
and I know that you're going to call
if you need me...when you need me...if you need me
Midnight Sun

as I watch you flickering slowly
in the shadows nothing to hold
it's as if I don't recall our time before
and would it be so wrong- not to remember

there are times I look at you differently
like I'd never seen you before
funny after all we've done
you could be someone I don't know at all
don't know you at all

catch me I don't want to fall

but you pull the mountain from under me
look I'm dangling up in the blue
and it's a cartoon coyote eternity
before I drop down to you
what am I supposed to do now

there is something beautiful shining
in the far off night of your hair
funny for a while it seemed to come from the sky
but it's in your head
yes it fills your head

you and I don't always fly
let me go I want to fall
deep into the dark
but I'll get back to you
and I'll always now how to find you
cause you shine like the midnight sun

follow follow follow the midnight sun
SO LONG SUICIDE

Do you know how to feel?
Do you know what it means?

Rock-a-bye baby it's time to break
The habit that you fed
Sweet sorrow while the cherished dead
Blow in my mouth, every breath I take
Although I need you I don't want to bleed for you

So long suicide
Going right out of sight, out of mind
Leave me alone and abandoned
Hello, I'm alive
I'm loaded alive, yes I know
In my bones I know what is going to do it for me

I steal the beauty and I taste the hurt
There's always time for pretty flowers
growing in the dirt
But time is your needle aimed to my heart
And I must be hollow because I can't follow there

So long suicide
Gone right out of sight, out of mind
Leaving me alone and abandoned
Hello, I'm alive
I'm loaded alive and I know
In my bones I know what I'm good for
Hello I'm alive
I'm loaded alive yes I know
In my bones I know what I'm doing

And I'm scared of being ordinary
God I swear to live like anyone
And you know it's hard to swallow
But life goes on

And after all this crash and swell
We are just human
And after all is said and done
We're only human
You're out of sight and out of mind
I'm saying so long suicide

The half dreamed shade of yesterday
In bloom tomorrow
TAK DLHÁ SAMOVRAŽDA

Vieš, ako cítiť?
Vieš,čo to znamená?

Spinkaj, ječas na zmenu
Zvyk, ktorý siživil
Sladký smútok, kým uctievaní mrtví
Vdýchnu do mojich úst každý nádych
Hociťa potrebujem, nechcem kvôli tebe krvácať

Tak dlhá samovražda
Správne odísť z očí, z mysle
Nechaj ma samého a opusteného
Haló, somživý
Som nabitýživotom, áno viem
V mojich kostiach viem,čo mi to urobí

Ukradnem krásu a ochutnám bolesť
Vždy ječas na pekné kvety
vyrastajúce všpine
Alečas je tvojou ihlou namierenou do môjho srdca
A ja musím byť prázdny, pretože tomu tam nerozumiem

Tak dlhá samovražda
Správne odísť z očí, z mysle
Nechaj ma samého a opusteného
Hello, somživý
Som nabitýživotom ,áno viem
V mojich kostiach viem,čo mi to urobí
Hello, somživý
Som nabitýživotom ,áno viem
V mojich kostiach viem,čo mi to urobí

A mám strach z obyčajnosti
Bože prisahám,že budemžiť tak ako hocikto
A vieš,že je toťažké prehltnúť
Aleživot ideďalej

A po všetkých nárazoch
Smeľudia
A potom je všetkom povedané a ukončené
Sme lenľudia
Sme preč z očí a z mysle
Hovorím, tak dlhá samovražda

Napoly snívaný tieň včerajška
V rozkvete zajtrajška
Undergoing Treatment

we are undergoing treatment
watching others in the news
studying our worst reviews
they say we'll get over it
disappear like dinosaurs
tot he sound of small applause
resign to the mid-priced section

if you see me walking in the garden
don't ever ask me for an autograph
if you ever catch me in the arcade
don't ever stop me for a photograph

we are undergoing treatment
til our ethic fits the scene
laid out in Q magazine
they crave our conformity
mediocre to the bone
terrified testosterone
but why do we still face the music

now and then you get the strangest notion
that there's something missing
but it keeps you guessing
wild ambition can you really blame us
can you entertain us
can you give a little more

if you ever see me walking in the garden
don't ever ask me for an autograph
if you ever catch me in the arcade
don't ever stop me for a photograph

we are undergoing treatment
but will the doctors ever cure
these delusions of grandeur?
Ball And Chain
(extra track from Japenese release Medazzaland)

Early morning
As the day is dawning
You're street gutter crawling
When the sun comes up

Baby crying
Says today she's dying
But she's always trying
And that's a ball 'n chain

You got the ball 'n chain
You're in the ball 'n chain gang
"Cos you're the ball 'n chain man

Bruises for breakfast
Ain't nobody's business
But pain's a lonely mistress
And you can't give up
(That's a ball n' chain)
Flame burning
Money that you're earning
And you will be returning
With a ball n' chain

You got the ball 'n chain
You're in the ball 'n chain gang
"Cos you're the ball 'n chain man

Why do you love me
When you don't need me
Why do you want me all of the time?
In my whole life, didn't get no peacetime
And I don't care if I live or die

(That's a ball 'n chain)

You got the ball 'n chain
You got the ball 'n chain
You got the ball 'n chain


You got the ball 'n chain
You got the ball 'n chain
You got the ball 'n chain

You got the ball 'n chain
You're the one to blame
You got the love that pain
