Shonen Knife

Good morning Shonen Knife freaks!

All the people in the world have been waiting for
Shonen Knife's new album
White, black, yellow, everybody
I'll present it for you now

Ozonic stratus has been destroyed
The earth became warmer
But we'll go and go and go go go

Ultra eccentric super cult punk pop band Shonen Knife

Nick Lowe, Costello, Beatles
Redd Kross, Ramones, Buzzcocks
Shonen Knife is a cult band

Every every everybody! Shonen Knife!

Violence, military power, atomic energy
Here comes the end of a century
But we'll go and go and go go go

Mockn, Jonathan Richman, XTC and more
Shonen Knife is a cult band

Lazybone

I don't wanna get up early in the morning
I wanna sleep all day
I don't wanna ride a crowded subway
I wanna go by car

You don't need to be serious
You don't need to be a walrus
You don't need to be nervous
You don't need to be an eggman
Uh uh uh

I don't wanna work a boring job
I wanna play all day
I don't wanna flatter silly people
I wanna kick them out

You don't need to be serious
You don't need to be a walrus
You don't need to be nervous
You don't need to be an eggman
Uh uh uh

I don't wanna get up early in the morning
I wanna sleep all day
I don't wanna ride a crowded subway
I wanna go by car

You don't need to be serious
You don't need to be a walrus
You don't need to be nervous
You don't need to be an eggman
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
Uh uh

Diet Run

On the diet run, there are many delicious temptations
On the diet run, ice cream and chocolate
On the diet run, including much cholesterol
On the diet run, but I wanna eat

You eat everything with keen relish
Let's chew well before you swallow it
After meals I desire sweets

On the diet run, I wanna be slender
On the diet run, thighs, belly, doublechinned
On the diet run, good bye, superfluous flesh
On the diet run, but I wanna eat

Blue Oyster Cult

Blue blue blue oyster...oyster poisoning
I go to a restaurant with my friends
All of us eat raw oysters
I feel headache I feel stomachache
Oyster brings evil upon me

Blue blue blue oyster...oyster poisoning
I can't sleep well at night
I can't see anything in my sight
I'll never eat it I've had enough of it
Oyster brings evil upon me

Rain

The Luck of the Irish

My Favorite Town Osaka

I have been to London one time
I have been to Hong Kong one time
Everywhere in the world is good
But Osaka is the best town
My favorite town Osaka

I have been to Tokyo one time
I have been to Nagoya one time
Everywhere in Japan is good
But Osaka is the best town
My favorite town Osaka

Faith Healer

Shoving me so I will hear
While I am so weak I kneel
Begging she'll remind me
But she says few words not free
So I leave the drafty tent
This will be a ten well spent
Rub my hands with effort to read
Between the lines...like you do

Dealing with the faith healer
And trusting in the palm reader

Now is the time we must get on
When the healer's not around
Let me talk love to you know
As if I could show you how

You are wonderful but nothing new
The faith healer can do this too
She arrives with warrant to close you down
She's been around, sees through you
With a warrant to close you down, she's been around

White Flag

He's a gummer
He's a gummer
He's a gummer
He's over 63
He's listened to White Flag
Longer than you or me
White Flag, White Flag

Superstar

I got the role with difficulty
It's an unnatural dead body
During the scene I'm not allowed to move
It's the role that brings opportunity to the story
Wet clothes, it's strange
I wanna be a superstar

The next role I got was a taxi driver in town
Who carries a leading lady
I spoke my part, "Where shall I take you?"
Wearing a taxi driver's costume and
I became the role
I wanna be a superstar

Expo '90

We went to the park the other day
But the park was closed, we walked away

We brought many things to eat
Fruits and soda, even meat
But we have to wait

We were told the park was beautiful
We were told the park was so nice

Someday we'll go back again
We'll have a party, please bring your friends

We'll have lots of things to eat
Fruits and soda, even meat
We'll have a party then

Fruit Loop Dreams

There's a big bird named Toucan Sam
With a pretty colored beak just like a candy cane
I wonder if he'd be so nice (be so nice)
As to take us to Fruit Loop Paradise

Chocolate streams and ice cream dreams
Fancy flavored clouds and sun
Lots of cake and soda pop
And lollipops for everyone

I wish I was like Toucan Sam
I could fly to the rainbow and candy land
Take all my friends to a tasty place (tasty place)
Get a beak and go flying in outer space

Chocolate streams and ice cream dreams
Fancy flavored clouds and sun
Lots of cake and soda pop
And lollipops for everyone

There's a big bird named Toucan Sam

The Moon World

Take me to the moon when it's very blue
I think I've read too many science fictions

The moon world, the huge computer
On the teleguided beam
The moon world, I've been dreaming
My thought systems are about to burst

I won't suffocate without oxygen
What a wonderful place
I won't be held down by gravity
What a nice place

Baggs

Every dog and every cat and every people has Louis Vuitton
Rich people and poor people genuine spurious Louis Vuitton

A kindergarden pupil has it with her mom is Louis Vuitton
A college student has her tennis racket in her big Louis Vuitton

Yuppie woman bought two bags when she went to abroad
An old woman was presented by her son is Louis Vuitton

Shoulder bag, Boston bag, suitcase, osaifu and kinchuk bukuro

An old man who doesn't know what Louis Vuitton's second bag's logo mark
It isn't LV, it's LB, it's too funny
