SUPERWEEKEND

Eyes On The Price
(den haag-reykjavik 2000)
check the number, push the button
late check-in, not admissible to cabin
fragile, or inadequate packing
late check-in, not admissible to cabin
fasten seatbelt for take-off and landing

gold and diamonds, sugar and spice
electronics and a bowl of rice
boats and planes, oil and honey
clean water, briefcase full of money

should you wanna be producers
should you wanna be consumers
should you wanna be the users
you end up choosing the loser

mindboggling city hobgoblin
something troubling you my son
i'm allright, my life is easy
autopilot and cruise control
one two one two and thru and thru
put the needle on the record
let me spin it for you
what you gonna do 5 years from now?
-world domination, let me figure out how...
gold and diamonds, sugar and spice
electronics and a bowl of rice eyes on the pricetag
- bag it up - easy bag it (hands up!) -
"in the air tonight"
race is on
gearshifting, steam
...hot rubber, metropolitan team
flashing L E D, red laser beam
this machine fabricates the dream

Airport City
(rotterdam 2001)
career is alright thank you for asking
short notice no time for packing

last on the plane timing is right
turn into a strictvegetarian
anytime flying KLM

-anything goin on tonite
-let me know where you at, alright?

- take me back to airport city
where the glass is clean, girls fresh, real pretty
- this planet it's airport city
they call my name as i  step thru security
- call me back i'm in airport city
waiting in line just to get real busy
- palace of pleasure - airport city
passenger shopping terminal activity

(metropolitan life)

madison ave, 73rd
i said it out loud clearly none of you heard
shameless, in pursuit
godzilla's silver snakeskin boot
man far - moneymakin'
gundam touchdown manhattan

-anything goin on tonite
-let me know where you at, alright?

- take me back to airport city
where the glass is clean, girls fresh, real pretty
- this planet it's airport city
they call my name as i  step thru security
- call me back i'm in airport city
waiting in line just to get real busy
- palace of pleasure - airport city
passenger shopping terminal activity

Dancehall Dominator
(Helsinki 2001)
dance, i mean lose control
work the box, jack your soul
dance, and don't think too much
love on the dancefloor
lose that touch

why are you the greatest dancer?
simply cause youre the greatest lover
why are you the greatest lover
dancehall dominator - there is no other

...i'm telling you its wrong (lets do it)

um, is it safe to say
that you wanna get down with her on the parquet
let her know what you wanna do
if it comes to loving you
i know my way
i can be late
but let me get it baby
you can make me stay
going back into the apartment
show me what you ment when you said "i cant repent"
i said "damn, what  you looking for"
she said "nothing i havent had before"
holding on to your hand
let me be your action man

...i'm telling you its wrong (lets do it)

Heartbreakdance
(Europe 2000)
it was 999

choosing so long you don't know what to do
don't get them wrong they leave you when the're through
make sure respect goes where respect is due

heartbreakdance

Envelop You
(Helsinki 2001)

Modern Man
(Helsinki 2000)
dont leave me out
to the satellite city
sleeping village
neighborhood of infinity
i got this tingling feeling in my spine
i need the city here im left behind

SMS
pheromones
sexy looks
testosterone
bright lights
city lights
dance floor
hot skin - lovers night

baby - let me be your domestic servant
baby - let me be your exclusive lovetoy
emancipate my modern man
my modern man needs your modern woman

this town stinks
i can't get none
i came here to have fun
i wanna go crazy but i cant enjoy
i need this special girl who needs this special boy

Real Simple
(riga 2001)
making me feel something --would be a plus you know
our prison-    we built this city
shadow of doubt made real simply

if you're trying to make me
feel uneasy

you're doin it right baby
you're doin it right baby

keeping it real simple (yo)
i'm coming atcha
though the road is rugged
though terrain is tough
keeping my head
straight n steady
moving on a dotted line

if you're tryin to make me
feel uneasy

you're doin it right baby
you're doin it right baby 

keeping it real simple
kiss me slowly but be quick
before the magic's over
this love can not be new no more
to forget it - too much to ask
undo - real simple
lost real fast

if you're tryin to make me feel uneasy

you're doin it right baby
you're doin it right baby

Taste of Love
(Helsinki 2001)
taste of love
in the air tonite
taste of love
hold on tight
taste of love
all day long
taste of love
wont let go
taste of love
wont be long
taste of love
dream on dream on

if youre waiting by the telephone
all alone
sound off - but the tv on
cup of tea - cooling on the floor
waiting for your man to come home
let me know

gotta let you know baby
gotta tell it to you straight baby
tell it to your face baby
y You rule my world

if youre lying in your bed alone
holding on, feed the feeling, - got you going on
not sleeping - but the dream is not
gone, tryin not to let go, go on
let me know

Leave Your Man
(Helsinki 2001)
next day cross the street saw her my world froze
keep cool undercover i wonder whether she knows
just a glimpse of her made my day a delight
i wanna slow down get my timing right
i couldnt get my eyes off her lower lip
she had gloss (damn) recover, quick!

when i see you from a distance
all i can say under my breath is shiit
when i hear you talkin listen to your voice and your accent
- you make me wanna get with it

leave your man
i want you but i'm in a bad position
leave your man
guaranteed - moving in the right direction

i wanna discover your touch
touch you in a way thats almost too much
much like the way im looking at your eyes
your eyes shy away look back and smile
this chemical imbalance induced by your presence
i'm burnin for you
this is my confession

when i see you from a distance
all i can say under my breath is shiit
when i hear you talkin listen to your voice and your accent
- you make me wanna get with it

leave your man
i want you but im in a bad position
leave your man
guaranteed - moving in the wrong direction

Superweekend
(paris 1994 / helsinki 2000)
bring me back my keys
i wanna go home tonite
so i might leave the city unseen
crossfade into the forest dim

...c'etait un super weekend hyper-cool, girlfriend
un super weekend (mon royeaume, t'es ma reine)

futur cadre de la societe

cache toi object l'infini n'a pas d'accent

i wanna sleep in your room tonite
we can leave the city unseen fade away into the forest dim

...c'etait un super weekend

 

CRUSHING YOU WITH STYLE

I Am Not Human
"She dwells with Beauty-Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips:
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine;
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung." (keats)

don't you know who we are
don't you know who i am
... i am not human, i am robot

i got pair of brand new sneakers on my feet
phone in my pocket plays my theme for me
keys on my belt are jingling to the beat
pumpin from a passing automobile
"Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine;
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung."

don't you know who we are
don't you know who i am
... i am not human, i am robot

S, M, L, XL
one time babybaby please don't stop
they're sizzlin' hot, gimme what you got
headbang baby, uh-u, twist a knot
are you ready to rock all around the block?
superblast givin' you electric shock
electric shock electric shock
headbang baby, untie the knot
are we ready to rock all around my block?
SMLXL---
claim your luggage and your lifestyle
i love you baby be my queen
i'll be your king if you know what i mean
sock it to me, say "i do, i do"
if i rule the kingdom, i'll rule it with you.

girls like you never boogie with me
should i be serenadin' at you balcony?
i am trying hard but you just don't see
maybe when i'm on my knees you will believe
but i never learned to kneel properly
cause men are so stiff in this country
"i love you" not in my vocabulary
but should you boogie, consider me...
SMLXL---
claim your luggage and your lifestyle
i love you baby be my queen
i'll be your king if you know what i mean
sock it to me, say "i do, i do"
if i rule the kingdom, i'll rule it with you.

Cool "Disco" Dan
i run the red line from Grosvenor to Silver Spring
you know me by the name of Cool "Disco" Dan
know me by the name of grafiiti artist supreme
doors open on your left: Cool "Disco" Dan
endstation to endstation you know me at the writers bench
doors open on your right: Cool "Disco" Dan
mother and father ran the red line may '68 straight up the ladder
commodore 64 toys'r'us: disconnected

this time homeboy got away next time they might take a mugshot
this miserable subculture - urban undergrowth

boogie down with the welfare state
dont be late put your money on a plate
i cant afford the lifestyle that i shaped
throw your hands in the air pay for my mistake

this generation: not capable of a revolution or a stand.
anybody ready? raise your hand.

Helsinki Rock City

Dire Straits
these are dire straits i'm facing
-its hell -i chose well -amazing.
this kingdom is doomed, it will drag me under
unsatisfied til the very end: i wonder?
rendez-vous with reality no speculation
love over gold is the motivation.
"Far from a madding crowd's ignoble strife,
their sober witches never learnt to stray"

coffee is keeping me up
and sugar is making it sweet for me
quarter life crisis holding me down
i got super-bright futures all around
me me me me me me me - i gotta be all that I can be
"I want my money for nothing and chicks for free
Give me my motherfucking MTV"

i'm working late tonight i won't be home before midnight try to get some sleep without me i'll
come in quietly and crawl between the sheets. your warm back and my cold belly. rest my tired
body.

The heavy perfume of doom invades the room as i enter
Crushing you with style right from my first sentence
cultured brute, method actor: limb from limb - heart from mind.
The unpredictible factor.
i'm in the tunnel of love but you're so far away
in the gallery (text message) communiqué.
"Far from a madding crowd's ignoble strife,
their sober witches never learnt to stray"

(one black coffee with sugar and cream)

Jennifer Kissed Me
jenny lost her favorite penny,
so i gave her one dollar
she kissed me so i holler
jenny, lost her favorite penni,
so i gave her one euro
"now where you wanna go?"

paris metro 1a.m.
leapin up the escalator
where you been? "up in the woods"
jennifa, oh jenny

arlanda stockholm transit hall
flight delayed due to snowstorm
don't pick me up baby, ill be late
jennifa, oh jenny

london rowhouse back garden
sun eclipsed in your teacup
barefoot breakfast milk and honey
deluxe deluxe deluxe

"Jenny kiss'd me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad,
Say that health and wealth have miss'd me,
Say I'm growing old, but add,
Jenny kiss'd me." (Leigh Hunt)

Nine Tons
(London, 1999 and Poland, Zamosc, 1995)
(respect:easa poland, jaroslav in gdansk and the finnish embassy in warsaw )

can I get a bassdrum and a hihat
hit me with a rimshot snare handclap
follow me now bass doubling up
neighborhood of infinity bubbling up
life vest under your seat - relax
feel the beat in my thorax
I wanna break the rules - blammo
mind full of ammo - the enemy within
I want to change the way you're living

enter the container 9 tons of log
hanging from a crane it descends though the fog.
customs officers brain playing with the dream that became
the blueprint for the scheme that made us part of the game.
we orchestrate counter-attacks
I move the pawn aside: enter Jaroslav Motak.
I check with the bishop mobilise the embassy
their tradenegotiator is now working for me:

Allo, je suis le hero 9-0-0-0 kilos de la foret finlandaise

why is the pen so heavy why is the paper so bright?
let me make a cup of coffee, its going to be a long night.

Precast Empire
my concrete tenement project urban sediment logic
the hard core modulor, sector one phase four
i rock the precast empire

i build beats as the architect sonic my basslines richterscale tectonics i program the faultline
quantisize the quake anasthesia pulling teeth bass-solo one take. the equal opportunity
non-profit organisation burn a mask like Kahn at Dacca, and Corbu in Chandigarh. who got run
over by the spanish tram car? anonymous death with peanuts in his pockets holy family alone
nobody left to rock it. also the Crow, aka. mastermason, defender of the secrets of the cathar
nation - boat propeller vortex spins bad damage no corpse found floating - the mediterranian
great white savage.

Spelling Robot
i watch grey clouds gather over my islands
first snow falls brings down white silence

the rising triad, moon crescent, color iridescent, very present and clear danger - neon
district, the stranger. eyes shine 'neath the winter shadow penumbra, winds from the tundra. ice
cracks fulfill the task, strip the mask, face the past head-on collision with illusion.
reality's backbone broken spine shattered open - mind corruption never rewind offered as an
option.
the life chosen - the life lost
100% stakes all it takes
separate trues and fakes
