227 days on a boat. Gotta do what you gotta do, to keep afloat. The days get longer, and the nights get darker, But to make it worse, there's a tiger... Richard Parker! Richard Parker, why did you leave? I needed you more than you needed me. We spent so long together, I thought that we'd be friends I thought that you would stay with me, until the end A tiger isn't built to last at sea. Every single day was spent trying to eat me. Sleeping with eye open, and one behind my back, It starts to wear it's toll, and I begin to crack

Cartoons on a Saturday morning were the only thing to get me through the week The birds are tweeting and the grass is green I'm not going outside, my eyes are glued to the screen When you get older, cartoons are still great It's a game of chess, I'm at a stale mate They say: "Stop being a child your time is over, stop being wild!" It doesn't matter what the grown ups say They can talk all they want, I'll still do it my way I'm not really one to lead by example I don't wanna grow up, it's only natural When we were young, we ran this town We used to ride our bikes til the sun went down Without a care we had nothing to lose But always made it home in time for Scooby Doo So many crazes back in the day Silly things we used to say... X-men cards and dinosaurs Rocking the Megadrive with the Monsters In My Pocket Mortal Kombat all night long Dino Riders on my favorite Pajamas and after all of this, we're still the same I don't wanna grow up

Clumsy 02:57
Clumsy is my middle name. But that's okay, cos i feel no pain With two left feet, and gangly arms, I try my best to stay calm I get excited by the silliest of things. I often go running when the doorbell rings I couldn't be a thief, I'd just leave a trail I like my bed too much, don't wanna go to jail Don't wanna go to jail, no-oh-oh Smashed vases and broken glasses never stopped me before. And even a thousand plasters, only leaves me wanting more... Cos I'm clumsy I guess I'm just used to it now No point in changing, I like it anyhow I can't buy expensive toys They break so quick, and make a big noise Don't make a big noise, no-oh-oh

Breaking Bad 02:54
Sometimes life deals you a foul hand, It'll punch you in the gut. It takes a real man to admit he's beaten, And a bigger one to not. So I took what I knew, and put it to good use. I was only thinking of you. If I knew it would end up like this, I don't know, what would you do? I'm doing good but I'm breaking bad. Old habits can drive you mad. Just because you're not looking, doesn't mean it's not there I know you may hate me, but it's for the best No one will trust me, and I can't trust them. I'm in it by myself for now One day you might understand, Then I will show you how I am the one, who is the danger I am the one who knocks You used to think i could save myself, But I'm still stubborn as an ox Old habits can drive you mad

Reginald Starfire was a normal guy Got famous in a boy band, no one knows why He dreamed of being a unicorn Ever since the day that he was born With all the money that he made from the band, He paid some crazy doctors to change him Super Monsters Ate My Condo Ate me out of house and home Don't make them angry, don't make them mad! Give em want they want or thing will go from good to bad Boathead was born from a nuclear leak He was just a local crab who mutated quick He was so strong, he didn't even know His actions made Mr Shigoto He dropped a tank of nuclear waste On a Japanese businessman, with beer on his face! Lord Ferocious may look very cute He's a big eyed pug in a diving suit! The last survivor of a soviet team His lasers will turn you into mince meat!

Oh Sammy! 03:09
Playing games that never end He just wants to be your friend Like the bunny, in that battery ad He never stops, until you're driven mad Oh Sammy, I know you just wanna play It's getting late now, tomorrow's another day Oh Sammy, how can I say "no"? When you stare at me with those big blue eyes I'll just take the ball and give it a throw I think it's all that he thinks about If you don't give in, he'll just sit and pout Sorry Sammy, you should be herding sheep But as it turns out, you're stuck with me

It must get old, waking up everyday to the same song. When nothing you do matters, and everything is wrong. Things won't be different, if you don't change yourself. You'll start to mold if you don't move, like a musty book, on a shelf It'll stay the same It's you that makes it that way Who's to blame? It's a Groundhog Day It can be nice, waking up everyday to the same song. When everything you do matters, and nothing can go wrong. You can make things different, and do it by yourself. Just pack up all your nonsense and put it on the shelf The more things change, the more they stay the same

Once a villain, now he's a friend DK takes Diddy with him to the end. Now our hero was once, a peace loving ape til the Kremlings took his princess away Onward they go, like Frodo and Co They travel through wind and snow. But no one said it was gonna be easy What's coming up next can make a grown man queasy Oh no, oh no! Get out the way! The volcano levels are rising again! Dodge the lava and look out for flames! The volcano levels are rising again! At the end of each stage, a boss will appear challenge our heroes, challenge their fears But the duo are smart, they'll work as a team Going to places, that no ape has been Picking up barrels, collecting gold coins And all the pieces of a puzzle that will finally join At the end of the day, when the princess is safe, All DK and Diddy can do is wait When the game is over, and they've done all they can do They've got to keep their eyes pealed, looking through and through Time is ticking, but that's nothing new Watch out now, the're coming straight for you!

Upside Down 02:56
If things were upside down, I wouldn't know what to do Just turn them the right way round So I'd be there with you If we lived far apart It wouldn't be so bad I'm just a phone call away So you won't get sad I know it'll be, The hardest thing for you and me No one, can tell me better, If you want the girl, Just go and get her It's the only way, I know how I guess that I should know better But if she's the one Just go and get her It's the only way, I know how If you were here with me I'd know just what to say I'd tell you you're the best thing That i found in May

Have you ever had a dream so real, You now believed you lived it? Mixing space and time and facts You remember all the good bits It's not easy to discern What is truth and what is fiction You've got to get your story straight Or remain a contradiction You can make excuses all night long Your words are fabrications Things can't always go your way It's a lie. Can't you see? A confabulation Memories are fickle things You tend to lose the bad ones If I could be your hero now That's how I want it to go down Bits and pieces come together To form the Perfect lie A false start can confuse you It's how we get by Confabulation
