Ancalagon

1. Let's Talk About Me

(modern bass-lick intro)

Modern Verse I:

Wide awake 'cause I'm from a sleepy town
Here's a major yawn for ya:
Lawn mowers & peanut butter
Oh, my life, I'm so bored

Lord, I bet I'd make a fine janitor
I'd instantly die here
But who can be a superstar
Now all them superstars are gone
o-oh-oh

Modern Bridge 1a:

A metamorphosis:
Credit cards; my current account going up & down
A metamorphosis:
Faster cars on my real estate drivin' up & down

Even More Modern Bridge 1b:

O-oh o-oh o-oh: devastation
O-oh o-oh o-oh: this isolation
O-oh o-oh o-

Poor, poor me!

Modern Chorus I:

Let's talk about me
I bet you'll love me eventually
Let's talk about me
'Cause I'm quite interesting actually

Modern Verse 2:

Yet another family-party
Talk about the eggs & the curtains
With the dogs and her dumb-ass brother
Oh, my life, it's so hard

Worked an hour & a half at the pig-farm
What if I die here?
Why act like a million dollars?
I can't even drive a car
(if I had a car)

Modern bridge 2a:

A metamorphosis:
Credit cards; my current account going up & down
A metamorphosis:
Faster cars on my real estate drivin' up & down

Even More Modern Bridge 2b:

O-oh o-oh o-oh: devastation
O-oh o-oh o-oh: this isolation
O-oh o-oh o-

Poor, poor me!

Modern Chorus 2:

Let's talk about me
I bet you'll love me eventually
Let's talk about me
I bet you'll see me again!

- Very Modern Solo -

Poor poor me

Modern Chorus 3:

Let's talk about me
I bet you'll love me eventually
Let's talk about me
I bet you'll see me again!

Modern Chorus 4:

Let's talk about me
I bet you'll love me eventually
Let's talk about me
'Cause I'm quite interesting actually

I bet you'll love me eventually
I bet you'll see me again!

3. Do You Feel OK Now?

'98 Verse I:

One touch was more than enough
Just keep your hands off of your frustrations
One word was never enough
No, not with him, not with you, not with no one

And yank 'em outta your place
Just slam the door in their faces
Not one girl
Not even her umbrella

And -what's her name-
I fucked her
You're surprisingly shocked
Must scrub the tub for one week?
You must be crazy!

'98 Bridge I:

You want it
1-2-3 times
In my mouth
You're comin' on to me
on to me

Won't get it
3-4-5 times
In my mouth
It's sad you didn't want it any other way

'98 Chorus I:

And in case you didn't notice
All the thoms I walk upon
Now it must be kinda lonely
'Cause you never had the fun

Sad it turned out to be different
'Cause I never can be your pal
I like experimentation
But I think that's kinda foul

Do you feel okay now?

'98 Verse II:

One lie was more than enough
Did I hear you callin' me "Your Honey"?!
One sign was never enough
You know me
I'm not prejudiced against no one

Well, kiss my ass
"You're straight!"
You act like you are my soulmate
With your eyes on my ass
And a hard-on

And to think back I'm not able
Just when you're waiting tables
You just think about the damage you've done here

'98 Bridge II:

You want it
1-2-3 times
In my mouth
You're comin' on to me
on to me

Won't get it
3-4-5 times
In my mouth
It's sad you didn't want it any other way

'98 Chorus II:

And in case you didn't notice
All the thoms I walk upon
Now it must be kinda lonely
'Cause you never had the fun

Sad it turned out to be different
'Cause I never can be your pal
I like experimentation
But I think that's kinda foul

Do you feel okay now?

- Solo -

Won't get it
3-4-5 times
In my mouth
It's sad you didn't want it any other way

'98 Chorus III:

And in case you didn't notice
All the thoms I walk upon
Now it must be kinda lonely
'Cause you never had the fun

Sad it turned out to be different
'Cause I never can be your pal
I like experimentation
But I think that's kinda foul

I may look just like a lady
And I know about the arts
It's my wounds I will be lickin'
Not your dirty body parts

Do you like to fuck your lover?
Did ya think I was your wife?!
Makes it bitter to remember
And it cuts me like a knife

You don't care the dream is over
Now I'm way and way too old
And I surely hurt your feelings
But my tickets have been sold

I can understand the weakness
In a way I must be worse
But your blunt manipulation
I am the one who's being cursed

Do you feel okay now?

4. The First one

Verse 1:

I'm a jerk
I'm in the gutter
And I wait for my salvation
oh
yes
I'm a singer
I'm a saviour
Tell me
Where's my dedication
oh
yes

Bridge 1:

It makes you wonder
How could someone survive
In case you wonder
How I'm gonna try to make you see
oh

Verse 2:

I'm smart and they're the suckers
I'm a star without a universe
oh
And it figures I have to suffer
I'm beaten but unconquered still
oh

Chorus 1:

You know
When the 1st one goes
As the second-hand goes
Then the 3rd one goes
And it makes you wonder...

So the 1st one goes away
As the second-hand goes
Then the 3rd one goes
And it makes you wonder...

Nay-na nay-lah

Verse 2:

It doesn't matter
Though it is unfair
It's the struggle
It ain't funny anymore

no

And for failure I'm scared shitless
You're a devil
I'm an angel

oh

(Solo)

You know,
When the 1st one goes
As the second-handed goes
Then the 3rd one goes
Don't that make you wonder?

5. Gantenbrink
(Valensian song)

They found a little door
a little door

(Marrakech intro)

Valensian Bridge 1:

Recall the news back in 1993
"SECRET DOOR! - SECRET DOOR!"
"IN THE PYRAMID'S AIRSHAFT!"

They knew the contents of a possible chamber
Behind that door would really shake the world
"WAY TOO SOON!- WAY TOO SOON!"
People don't like surprises
no.

Scaraboushka in reverse - bridge 1:

Hello! - Hello!
The truth is so beautiful

Hello! - Hello!
Make modern times look medieval

Hello! - Hello!
Now mustn't we learn to know?

Valensia-styled chorus 1a:

Gantenbrink! Gan-
Gantenbrink!, Gantenbrink! Gan-
Gantenbrink-Gantenbrink!

Gantenbrink! Gan-
Gantenbrink!, Gantenbrink
a-a-a-Gantenbrink!
a-a

Valensia-styled Chorus 1b:

Thanks to men like Gantenbrink we know
Thanks to men like Von Däniken we know
Hancock & Bauval
Thanks to men like John West we know
And no thanks to myself
oh-oh oh-oh

They found a little door
a little door

(Marrakech intro)

Valensian-styled verse 2:

Do you know that they're opening the door this very
moment?
SHOULD BE TELEVIZED LIVE!
SHOULD BE BROADCASTED LIVE!
...SOME MYSTERIOUS BEHAVIOUR!

But don't be surprised if one day you see this on television
And all they show is an empty room
WE'LL BE FOOLED!
WE'LL BE FOOLED!
And the truth is withheld again

(Geesting intermezzo)

Hello! - Hello!
The truth is so beautiful

Hello! - Hello!
Make modern times look medieval

Hello! - Hello!
Now mustn't we know too?

Valensia-styled Chorus 2a:

Gantenbrink! Gan-
Gantenbrink!, Gantenbrink! Gan-
Gantenbrink-Gantenbrink!

Gantenbrink! Gan-
Gantenbrink!, Gantenbrink
a-a-a-Gantenbrink!
a-a

Valensia-styled Chorus 2b:

Thanks to men like Gantenbrink we know
Thanks to men like Von Däniken we know

Thanks to men like John West we know
And no thanks to myself
oh-oh oh-oh

(Solo)

Hello! - Hello!
The truth is so beautiful

Hello! - Hello!
Make modern times look medieval

Hello! - Hello!
Now mustn't we know?

Thanks to men like Gantenbrink we know
Thanks to men like Von Däniken we know

A little door

6. The Beating Of My Heart
(Dedicated to my motherland Indonesia)

Why can't anybody help me?
Why can't anybody help me?

I had it all
With you my life was made of happiness

Fulfilled with love I simply wanted to be with you

My love, to me you were
And still you are the only one

One look at you
And I knew were just made for each other

Bridge 1:

But it's over now
I got to make it somehow
All I hope
Is that you'll never forget me

'Cause I won't forget you

Chorus 1:

You are the sunlight of my life
You gave a kiss and I held you tight
But how could I know
I'd still feel your soul
By the beating of your heart

Why can't anybody help me?
Why can't anybody help me?

(Solo)

Verse 2:

I know that life goes on
One day would mean somebody new

But I can't face that baby
Can't you please forgive me?

But it's over now
I got to make it somehow
All I hope
Is you'll never forget me
'Cause I won't forget you

Chorus 2:

You are the sunlight of my life
You gave a kiss and I held you tight
But how could I know
I'd still feel your soul
By the beating

(Intermezzo)

Oh, I could
Hold you tight and tell you it's alright
I could
Prove tonight that, all in all, it's still alright

But why
So many heartaches?

My heart aches

'Cause I love you

(Solo)

Oooh

You are the sunlight of my life
You gave a kiss and I held you tight
But how could I know
I'd still feel your soul
By the beating of your heart

Why can't anybody help me?
Why can't anybody help me?

Why can't anybody help me?
Why can't anybody help me?

Why can't anybody help me?
Why can't anybody help me?

7. (Why Don't You) Give A Little Something

Verse I:

I'm not
Eating
Breathing
Sleeping
Weeping
Just dreaming
Not feeling my heart

I'm sad
I'm glad
I'm mad
I'm dead except for the beat of my heart

Bridge 1:

I'll be cold in the fire
And I won't get much higher
Without love, I just don't know
Love is blind
Love's kind
Love is easy to find
-is love easy ?-

I don't know

Why don't you

Chorus 1:

Give a little something for I'm burning again
You just give a little something 'cause you've done me again
And to give a little something of your lovin'
Means:
Heaven is in me

Verse 2:

I am
Tryin'
Lyin'
Cryin'
Sighin'
Denyin' the pain in my heart

I'm awakin'
Takin'
Fakin'
Mistakin'
Shakin'
And breakin' your heart

Bridge 2:

And I find
I don't mind
If you treat me unkind
When love's here, well
I just know

Love's fine
Love's mine
Love's so coool the first time
Love is not easy
But
You can't let go

Why don't you

Chorus 2:

Give a little something for I'm burning again
You just give a little something 'cause you've done me again
And to give a little something of your lovin'
Means:
Heaven is in me

(Intermezzo)

And I lied
And I cried
And I tried believe that hell came over me

I don't mind
I will find
I am blind
But see
Common
Common
Baby
Darling
Please

(Solo Without click)

Give a little something for I'm burning again
You just give a little something 'cause you've done me again
And to give a little something of your lovin'
Means:
Heaven is in me

8. My Lucielle

Verse:

Bye-bye my Lucielle
Only you can tell when dreams over

Fly by in the sky
Blue and beautiful
As you are always

Bridge:

Put me in the upright position
Place it over your nose and mouth
And breathe normally she said
Oh my Lucielle

Chorus:

For I always hide my love away
You never been there
So still I wait for
My Lucielle

Verse:

Bye-bye my Lucielle
So much time has passed
As we grow older

I'll buy a 747
I'll be a captain of the plane
And conquer your heart
Oh my Lucielle

(Solo)

And when we are high above the clouds
And you would serve me
You know what I will ask
Lucielle

9. Dead Or Alive

Baby, been around
Got to your hometown
Blue guitars are goin' faster than the foreplay

Ev'rything's alright in Nagoyan Light
So here's a little thing I wrote for you:

Dead or alive
We're rollin' all right
You've gotta get it on
And take it inside

Dead or alive
Like a moon in the night
It's rude & wrong but right on the money and I think it's
nice

Nights of party time
And everything's so fine
Got to get into the game of rock 'n' Motion
Girl, ah, can't you see
It's up to you and me
Good times always end too soon!!

Dead or alive
We're rollin' all right
You've gotta get it on
And get it inside
Dead or alive
Like a moon in the night
It's rude & wrong but it's so very nice

You're willing and I'm ready and we're able every night
If you're the sweetest candy
Then let me take a bite
I invite you to my bedroom
Gonna lock that door tonight
And when the show is over...

Make love
Make love oh yeah

Oh yeah

(Solo)

It's a clean machine
I'm in between
With the music and the lights and the illusion
Oh and you are so cool
Baby I am your fool
Now let me place this sample over you

Nice!

Dead or alive
We're rollin' all right
You've gotta get it on
And get it inside

Dead or alive
Like a moon in the night

It's rude & wrong but it's so very nice

Dead or alive
We're rollin' all right
You've gotta get it on
And get it inside
Dead or alive
Like a moon in the night
It's rude & wrong but it's so very nice

Nice!

Dead or alive
We're rollin' alright

Dead or alive
Like a moon in the night

IT SAYS MADRILEÑA (a girl from Madrid, Spain) Shocked

But I'd swear he sounds like he says VALERIA. Confused

and the second part goes like...

MADRILEÑA, NO VOY A SOBREVIVIR
MADRILEÑA, Y ME VOY A FUNDIR
MADRILEÑA, LA VERDAD YA LO SÉ, SOY UN [insert word]

can't figure out what he says there

xD

I always heard VALERIA, and I'm native spanish speaker. Or he sucks at pronunciation or I really need to get my ears looked after xD
