A Mouthful

The Do A Mouthful Lyrics
1.Playground Hustle

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

Girls

We are not crazy
Were are not afraid of you grown-ups
We'll go ask the queen of this kingdom
If you won't let us play with screws and hammers

Boys

We are not shady
We are not afraid of you adults
We'll go talk to the king of this kingdom
If you won't let us play with dolls, oh

Now boys play with pink girls at the break
See they're not blindly stuck up with colors

And girls like to run with boys
In a muddy school garden
And pick up frogs and worms
From the generous earth

Girls and boys giggling and sharing
Let them young restless seeds
Choose their own toys
Girls and boys giggling and sharing

We are not crazy
We are not crazy
We are not crazy
We are not crazy


2.On My Shoulders

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
Why do I always help you carry your boulders?
You wonder why I carry such a weight on my shoulders
And why would I t-t-t-t-t such a load?
'Cause someday you'll see, next time I'll try it another way

Why would you try to make me friends with them soldiers?
When you know that I've never been familiar with orders
When you know that my heart is in a pretty disorder
And you should know that in my heart you fill every corner
And someday you'll see that all I want is to please
Oh, next time I'll try it another way

How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will it take?
How many summers will I wait?
How many shoulders will I break?

Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
Why am I always by your side when you're down?
Why did I help you build a beautiful house?
And why did I break my back for you in the cold?
And someday you'll see, next time I'll try it another way

Why would I have to quit if time makes me older?
Why do they wonder why I never get bored?
And how could I tell them that I'll never let go
But hey, you're my man but they just won't understand
Someday you'll see that all I want is to please, oh
Next time I'll try it another way

How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will it take?
How many summers will I wait?
How many shoulders will I break?

Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
Why do I always help you carry your boulders?
You wonder why I carry such a weight on my shoulders
And why would I t-t-t-t-t such a load?
'Cause someday you'll see, all I want is to please, oh
Next time I'll try it another way

How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will it take?
How many summers will I wait?
How many summers will I wait?


3.Song For Lovers

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

Here's a song for lovers
Who don't care if they don't sleep
If dragonflies with heavy hearts
Cut the air like darts

Here's a song for lovers
Who won't ever have to weep
Clear sighted eyes and uncried tears
All dried out in the sun

Ooh

You were far too young, dear
To get so close to the clouds
No one told you to stay awake
For pleasures of that kind

You were far too small to step foot
Outside of your house
Now you saw how dragonflies
Sting their hearts with darts

Ooh

Here's a song for lovers
Who don't care if they bleed


4.The Bridge Is Broken

Boy, you got nerve to come along
You'll never learn I'm not your girl, not quite
Now please don't stand in my way, oh

The bridge is broken
The bridge is broken

Boy, you got nerve
I can observe
Your worn out shoes
Go fetch that cobbler

It's all your fault
Go fetch that cobbler
To fix the bruise

The bridge is broken
The bridge is broken

What's in your hand?
Don't tempt me in
What's in your head?
What's your new plan?
Don't make me beg you, no

The stitches open
The stitches open
The stitches open
The stitches open
The stitches open

Boy, you got nerve
Boy, you got nerve

Go fetch that cobbler

Go fetch that cobbler
To fix the bruise

The bridge is broken
The bridge is broken
The bridge is broken


5.Stay (Just A Little Bit More)

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

He was a bore, a true chore
And I still wonder why
I ever wanted to see him more
I know it's useless to complain
All these years after, well
Thanks for asking now I'm fine

I should have muffled my obsession
But I was all too pure
And so blindly sure
That he'd always have
The satisfying hug I needed

Stay just a little bit more
Don't let my heart turn sore
Stay just a little bit more
Don't let my heart turn sore

He was kind, polite and divine in public
Tender as a sleepy child
But when we got slightly more intimate
It wasn't that bright

Yes, he was kind, polite
Sound and sublime, in a theory
But in practice believe me
There was a nasty fire burning, oh

Stay just a little bit more
Don't let my heart turn sore
Stay just a little bit more
Don't let my heart turn sore

And when my curves came into play
Oh, what a hopeless tumbling down
When his desire was stuck in plaster
I was young but I believed in no tales

So in the desert of the bed
I looked hard for an oasis
But all I could find
Was a dead camel in pieces

And I got so scared
I tried to lure him back to bed
Whispered, 'Stay just a little more'

But now I'm grateful to the camel
'Cause all the lazy boy could do was run
Then I knew for sure
That he would never be
The satisfying shag I needed, no

Stay just a little bit more
Stay just a little bit more
Don't let my heart turn sore
Stay just a little bit more
Don't let my heart turn sore


6.Unissasi Laulelet

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

Aurinko nousi hiipien
Oksalla syntyi varpunen
Heräsin hetkeks, unissasi laulelet

Peilille näytit kasvosi
Ja peili hymyn heijasti
Lupasit laulaa kovempaa
Rakkauden pensaan istuttaa

Aurinko nousi hiipien
Oksalla syntyi varpunen
Heräsin hetkeks, unissasi laulelet

Tahditon tuuli kuiskasi
Korvaasi maailman ihmeitä
Levoton tuuli uteliaan korvaan
Meren pohjan salaisuudet paljasti

Aurinko nousi hiipien
Oksalla syntyi varpunen
Heräsin hetkeks, unissasi laulelet

Tarpeeksi kultaa löysit kait
Kyllästyit merten pohjiin kait
Ã'kkiä usva hallayöt
Toivat maan päälle ensi jäät
Vaalean aamun poskessa
Taas laulelet


7.Tammie

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

When will you take me for a ride?
Why would you treat me like a child?
You have no idea who I am
And when you will
Would you run away

But I know you won't
Oh, I know you won't
Yeah, I know you won't
Oh, I know, mmm, mmm

First you turn down, now you can't wait
That's no surprise you're all the same
You have no idea who I am and when you will
You should run home to your mama

But I know you won't
Oh, I know you won't
Oh, I know you won't
Oh, I know you won't
Oh, I'm sure you won't
Oh, I know you won't

You say, 'You're my delight but this ain't right'
I say, 'If you're afraid to play
Why don't you leave, go get some sleep?
Why do you keep sticking to me?'

Sticking to me
Sticking to me

Why don't you take me for a ride? Oh
I'm gonna have to let you down, oh
Well, you're not my type anyway and if you were
Mommy would kick me out
Brother would lock me in, baby

But I know they won't
Oh, I know they won't
Oh, I know they won't
Oh, I know they won't

Oh, I know they won't
Oh, I know they won't
Yeah, I know they won't
Oh, I know they won't


8.Queen Dot Kong

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

It's a little messed up 'round here
It's a little messed up 'round here

It's a little messed up 'round here
No one told me to dress up
Well you, wow, how?
This is pretty damn queer
Oh shit now we're stuck
We're stuck together for real

Oh, I can see you're looking down on me and
Frowning and groaning
Oh, I don't like this, no I don't like this
Did I just hear your stomach gurgling like this

It's a little fucked up to be stuck
In here with you, don't you think?
Well, now you're laughing at me
But you won't trap me
'Cause I know how to dodge your tricks
That's all right with me

Please do take your time
Please do take your time
I'm real, I'm cool

Fucked up

I'll let you be oh, cynical, critical, oh, lyrical, chemical
Well, brother, you can do better than that I assure you
'Cause you could be, oh, seminal, criminal, eminal, animal
Seminal, criminal, eminal, animal, bi-biblical
And God knows analytical

Hey, hello kids
I'm gonna have
I'm gonna have the sharpest flow
And you're gonna tremble and go home
Go home

I'm gonna have the sharpest flow
And you're gonna tremble and go home

Well, no I'm not going anywhere 'cause I wanna stay
And beg you to tell me your secret tips
I'll let you taste my lips if I have to but please
Tell me how, teach me how
Tell me how, teach me how

Ooh mister, can I call you twista, huh?

Guess who resurrected, guess who's infected
Guess who's trying to jump out the frame
Escape the flames of hell on my back
But no, you never expected, mister inspecta
Never expected this to spoil your diagnosis
Lord knows your hypothesis' whack

You should know who's leading the plot by now
You should see who's feeding the wolves by now
Well, now it's time to grab my lipstick
And blab 'til my lips burn red anyway

Oh, you're not alone on the ring, no you never was
You're not the only bloke with a sting
Ever heard of a crowned fighter dressed all in white
Ever heard of the mighty lady Queen Dot Kong
Queen Dot Kong

10.Searching Gold

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

We left our goods behind overnight
They told us there was a place to find
We were all wrapped up in winter coats
Searching gold in the midnight cold

We traveled arm in arm, at the same pace
Keeping each other warm in the rising storm

Searching gold
Where's the gold
That we'll share
As we share the road?

Tree trunks had fallen down on our way
Rocks of the ice age that would not stir
We lifted all that troubled our haste
One spell, one voice for one single aim

Searching gold, will we find it?
Where's the gold
That we'll share
As we share the road?

One step left, I'm bound to lead the herd
They're only trailing behind, what can I say
They're only trailing behind, what can I say

As the horizon cleared we let go of our hands
Each one hurried to be the first where gold flows out
Oh, silent rejoicing when one of us stumbled
Oh, silent rejoicing when one of us failed


11.When Was I Last Home?

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

White and gray stones
Lying lazy in the flickering water
White and gray

White and gray stones
Soft and shy like home-baked bread
Warmest mouthful
Let me have just a taste

When was I last home?
When was I last home?

White and gray stones
If I find bones
Along my way
I might feel a little less alone
Not so blue

But since I can
Still recall your features

How can I complain?
How can I complain?
How can I complain?
How can I complain?

When was I last home?
When was I last home?

When was I last home?


12.Travel Light

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

I got something in my head
Something sleeping in my head
That I don't wanna wake up, you see
Something in my head
And my lazy little body
Isn't ready yet to set it free

Well, it's some kind of hibernation
Who will ever force me out
With a polar bear up there
How am I gonna travel light?

I got something in my head
Like a lion in a cage, starving wild
And I've ran out of meat
Something in my head
Something crawling like a snake
In my bed, made me rip off my sheets

Well, it's an awkward situation
Trying to fight the jungle alone
But I gotta make my way through
If I wanna travel light

Lately I've been walking away
Floating like a song in the air
Lately I've been trailing away
I've been walking my way

I was standing on the edge
Of a mountain of clay
And I got tired of wading through the mud
So I jumped to hit the ground
It was firm yet it was hard
And I stood proudly up with my pain

Now, I don't care about the scratches
No one followed me this far
Oh, broken bones but empty head
I made it on my own, this far

Lately I've been walking away
Floating like a song in the air
Lately I've been trailing away
I've been walking my way


13.Aha

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

It came up on a day I was having a nap
It came up on a day I was catching the gnats
It was a trap, aha, aha, aha, aha

It came up on a day I was patting the cat
A happy summer day, it was simple as that
It was a trap, aha, aha, aha, aha

This time I fell in your lap, aha
This time fell into your trap, aha
I was hanging out with the boys
When you kicked me out, ah

It came up on a day I was building with haste
A pretty sandcastle away from the waves
And then the rain poured down
Aha, aha, aha

You came up with a smile as I started to cry
I said, 'I was all right'
But you told me to cut the crap
Aha, aha, aha, aha, aha

This time I fell in your lap, aha
This time fell into your trap, aha
I was hanging out with the boys
When you kicked me out

This time you caught me alive, aha
I had my head in the clouds, aha
I thought no one could track me down
'Til I got shot in the back, aha, aha

A little girl came and took me by the hand
I had no choice as she said she knew the way, aha, aha
A little girl said she wanted me to play
I had no choice or she said we would be late, oh

Ok, I wasn't all right
I had my head in the clouds
I was doing nothing at all 'til you
Shook me up

This time you caught me alive, aha
I had my head in the clouds, aha
I thought no one could track me down
'Til I got shot in the back, aha, oho, oh


14.In My Box


15.At Last !

Lyricist:Olivi Bouyssou Merilahti, Dan Levy

At last, I found what I was dreaming of
So bad, I want to tell the whole world
But I won't say no more
Won't make it harder on you girls

At last, the love that I was dreaming of is mine
Been walking on air for the last 92 hours
But I won't make it harder on you girls

Been groping my way along the darkest of dungeons
Until I found out there were switches all around

At last
At last, I found what I was dreaming of
Someone who truly understands me
A man I can trust, trust with my dust, oho

At last, it's more than I could ever expect
I can't believe it's real
Now my life has a goal, a good happy home

Made up my mind, now it's time, settle down
But don't hold this against me, I gotta run now, at last

Oh girls, I found what you're still craving for
If you accept a piece of my advice
It's nothing but luck and I happened to be struck, oho

Oh girls, oh please don't be so childish
Don't want my joy to make you sick
Thought I could share the fun
But I guess I was wrong

Gave up my heart and my soul and my pride
And my job and my creeds and the ones that I love
Gave up my all to a man I just met
But there's no time to waste 'cause it's almost too late

At last, at last, at last, at last
