Man Up

The Blue Van Man Up Lyrics
1.In Love With Myself

Lyricist:Soeren V Christensen, Per M Joergensen, Allan F Villadsen,
Steffen Westmark

Oh, put your cameras away
'Cause my beauty you can't portray
Every mirror would crack
With a sigh if I look back

'Cause I'm in love with myself
Myself and nobody else
My highness ghost I don't need
No one else but myself

Oh, what is pure
If I'm not pure at all?
The one that got away
Made me fall
In love with myself

Although my skin has turned gray
And my beauty has me betrayed
When I'm forsaken in my hell
I'll still be in love with myself

Oh, what is pure
If I'm not pure at all?
The one that got away
Made me fall
In love with myself

Oh, what is pure
If I'm not pure at all?
The one that got away or
Made me fall, made me fall
You made me fall

Oh, if you're not sure
That you can love me too
I'll be my own slave
And be in love

I'm in love with myself
Myself and nobody else


2.Lay Me Down & Die

Lyricist:Soeren V Christensen, Per M Joergensen, Allan F Villadsen,
Steffen Westmark

Drown all your innocence
While you try to make amends
You forgot to do it right
So just lay me down and die

Fill my bed with roses
Close my weary eyes
Pass my troubles on to some one else
And lay me down and die

I was dead before I was born
A better mind, of a boy child scorned
Till we's gone babe, I'll be set in stone
Lay me down and die

Fill my bead with roses
Close my weary eyes
Pass my troubles on to someone else
And lay me down and die
Lay me down and die, aah

Fill my bead with roses
Close my weary eyes
Pass my troubles on to someone else
And lay me down and die, yeah

Fill my bead with roses
Close my weary eyes
Pass my troubles on to someone else
And lay me down and die
Lay me down and die
Lay me down and die


3.Be Home Soon

Lyricist:Soeren V Christensen, Per M Joergensen, Allan Villadsen,
Steffen Westmark

When night takes over in the afternoon
One thing keeps me staring at the moon
It smiles, and tells me
That I will be home soon, I'll be home soon

It calls for dreamers as it calls for time
But those real dreamers do not sleep at night
They burn
As they yearn to be home soon

I will be home soon
You will see me
Coming down your road
And you'll greet me

I'll be home soon

When night falls down
And slowly makes a womb
I close my pedals and I start to bloom
I burn, as I yearn

I will be home soon
You will see me
Coming down your road
And you'll greet me

When you see me goin'
Coming down your road
(I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon)

I'm coming home
(I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon)
I'm coming home
(I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon)

I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon
I'll be home soon

I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon
I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon
I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon
I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon
I'll be home soon

I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon
I'll be home soon, soon, soon, soon
I'll be home soon


4.Trees That Resemble

When your life has gone wrong and what you're missing
Can't be found in the common hell
When you're sore and your bones start missing
You drink the wine from the darkest well

Trees that resemble
The beast that makes you tremble

When the sane are marching
To the meadows of time past you cannot leave
When you finally complete the harvest
You'll find the lock but you lost the key

Trees that resemble
The beast that makes you tremble
The nights are never ending
For those who know no mending

Trees, oh, trees
Trees


5.Man Up

Too tough
Oh we won't break
Enough
Cause when you make

Dark shadows
The young pros
They blow and come back ten fold

We don't need ropes to climb the walls you build
Ideas and passion break the bricks with guilt

Man up!

Machines
Without any rust
Machines
Turn us to dust

When you make
A mistake
The scarecrow breaks off its stake

We don't need ropes to climb the walls anymore
My mind is stronger than it was before

Man up!

When you make
Dark shadows
The young pros
They blow and come back ten fold

We don't need ropes to climb the walls anymore
My mind is stronger than it was before

Man up!
Man up!
Man up!
So man up!
Yeah man up!
Man up!


6.Silly Boy

I might be wrong but I might be right
Anyhow I know I tried
I better leave, I better leave
I better stop

I like her taste when it fills my soul
I'll tell you something I've never told anyone
Not anyone, not anyone

Everyone's got a bleeding heart
I don't know where or when to start
I better bleed, I better bleed
I better stop
I better bleed, I better bleed
I better stop

Silly boys
You ran away
You're unemployed
You'd waste away

Silly boys
You ran away
You're unemployed
You'd waste away

Silly boys you run away to far
Remember this remember where you are

Life is good
It's what I see that
Makes me want to disagree
I better leave, I better leave
I better not

You might be wrong cause you know I'm right
If you lose your way you just follow mine
I better leave, I better leave
I better stop
I better leave, I better leave
I better stop

Silly boys
You ran away
You're unemployed
You'd waste away

Silly boys
You ran away
You're unemployed
You'd waste away

You run away, you're unemployed, waste away

Silly boys
You ran away
You're unemployed
You'd waste away


7.There Goes My Love

Be, Be the charming type,
Take off your gloves and show what they hide,
Please, please my naked wrists,
With your hands and fingertips
And please, baby get on your knees,
Don't bare bare bare your teeth,
I'll let you try,
If you close your eyes,
I'll have an answer for your ass!

There goes my love,
There goes my love,
There goes my love love love love love,
There goes my love,
There goes my love,
There goes my love love love love love!

Why, be charming kind,
Oh you'll get yours,
When I get mine,
Oh no, it's not for me,
If you're too good,
You won't be free,
And please, please I'm on my knees,
I wanna feel feel feel your teeth,
Get on your knees,
Baby get on your knees,
I wanna feel feel feel your teeth!

There goes my love,
There goes my love,
There goes my love love love love love,
There goes my love,
There goes my love,
There goes my love love love love love!

Oh no, just just, wait, no, you gotta wait, oh no, oh no please!


8.The Socialite

You think you're on your own
You think you're in control
If there's a scene somewhere you're gonna play your role

You might be acting high
You just might seem kinda odd
but when the spotlight's off you're nothing but a fraud
Yes you are
Yes you are

She said, I don't dance, I don't sing
To be honest I don't do a damn thing
When we go out every night
And we go out every night

You don't fit anywhere
Oh, you claim that you don't care
Who wants to fit in with a crowd that's never there?

You think you're in control
You think you're on your own
But let me tell you, mama, I can tell a lie

She said, I don't dance, I don't sing
To be honest I don't do a damn thing
When we go out in the night
And we go out every night

She said, I don't dance, I don't sing
To be honest I don't do a damn thing
But we go out every night
'Cause we're the socialites

She said, I don't dance, I don't sing
To be honest I don't do a damn thing
When we go out every night
Oh we go out every night

She said, I don't dance, I don't sing
To be honest I don't do a damn thing
But we go out in the night
'Cause we're the socialites

She said, I don't dance


9.Out Of Control


10.True

You make it easy to feel this strange
You try so hard in this old fashioned game
You can't lose cause there aren't that any rules
It's you I adore and like never before
I understand, cause you make it true.
You can't loose when you know what to choose

It is easy to feel small
So damn easy to feel no good at all
In your arms, I'll never be lost
You mended my heart and you put back the part that was missing
Cause you are true
In your arms, I'll never be lost


11.I'm A Man

~(Guitar & Sax Duet)~

Shaka Loveless:

12.Stop Thinking Of Yourself

Your like a son but I let you down,
You pick me up I will sock the ground,
I let you go,
Oh no no no...

I see you talk but I hear no sound,
It's empty words that you pass around,
When you look at me that way I dont have anything to say,

(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I really do sometimes!
(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I really do sometimes!
(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I only do sometimes...

Stop thinking of yourself!

Your like a child cause you dont know-know,
I'll burn your fingers if you don't let go...and cut them,
off...off,
Your like a son but you let me down,
You pick me up I was on the ground,
And you gotta read the sign when I throw you down the line,

(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I really do sometimes!
(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I really do sometimes!
(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I only do sometimes...

Stop thinking of yourself!

~(Guitar Solo)~

(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I really do sometimes!
(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I really do sometimes!
(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I only do sometimes...YEEAAHH!!

(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I really do sometimes!
(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I only do sometimes!
(Stop thinking of yourself!)
I only do sometimes!
I only do sometiimmeess...

Motherfucker...


13.Put My Name In The Sand

Oh, you don't know who I am
I put my name in the sand
Oh, get some dirt and rub it on your hand

Living is a waste of time
If you don't do anything worth while

Oh, you don't know what I can
I put my name in the sand
Oh, here's your chance to take a stand

Living is a waste of time
If you don't do anything worth while
