Forget about being world famous, it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.

Automatic Love
Written: rapino brothers/minogue/humpe
Would you please forgive me I feel a stranger here
It seems Ive lost all my memories and all of my tears
* I know why Im so crazy I dont care
cause its you that makes me so beware
Ypu put me on automatic love, theres no return
Im on automatic love nothing can stop me
Im on automatic love come on and turn it on
Automatic, automatic
I dont feel you enter in my man menu
But every time I touch the key the screen is showing you
* repeat
The moon on you will come to call
Its so autcnoly
So beware, you put me on automatic love
Automatic love
Nothing can stop me, Im on automatic love
Come on and turn it on
(continue with ad lib to fade)
Come on, turn it on

Geronimo
I'm feeling kind of wild I have burned down a house
The pleasure is mine it may be sick and may be wrong
That's why I did it all on my own
Pain in my mind is for no one to find
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm the world famous Geronimo
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm a world famous man
The world has gone mad and I'm being bad
To all the people that is feeling sad
Scalps on the wall are the trophies I've made
From all the people that stood in my way
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm the world famous Geronimo
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm a world famous man
Someone once said that I'm acting strange
That someone ain't living no more
People get scared when I'm passing by
I am the man who brings fear in Your eyes
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm the world famous Geronimo
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm a world famous man
My journey began on the day I was born
Ever since then I've been hunted by a man
With a rifle and star he may give me a scare
Someday I promise to cut of his scalp
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm the world famous Geronimo
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm a world famous man

Famous Fable
The famous fable,
The famous table,
The famous stable,
The famous cable,
The famous babble,
The famous gable,
The famous parable,
The famous variable
The famous sable;
But, able to crown your love with my muse!
For, you are all that i need.

Down the Sweet Shop
The little corner shop
full of special treats
Chocolate, bottles of Pop,
and jars and jars of sweets.
With pocket money in hand
given to me by my Dad
sometimes a little bit extra
if he heard I'd been a good lad.
I really loved that little shop
it was every young boys dream
you could get everything you'd want
Football Cards, Toys, and Ice-Cream.
My dad used the shop as well
he'd pop in to buy his fags
and Mum did her weekly shop
she'd get me to help her with the bags.
Then along came the big supermarket
the little shop began to lose it's trade
so sadly it had to close it's doors
an end of an era again I'm afraid.
But I'll always remember the little shop
stood there at the bottom of our lane
yes it may have only been small
but it had more style than any supermarket chain!

What Made Milwaukee Famous
(glenn sutton)
[b side of mercury 6052 198, 1972]
It's late and she is waiting, and i know i must go home,
But every time i start to leave, they play another song,
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free,
What made milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and i'm to blame, too late i finally see,
What made milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and i'm to blame, too late i finally see,
What made milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me,
What made milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.

I'll Be Your Everything
You can call me when you want me, if you need a friend you got me
I'll be your everything, fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic, just call out go go gadget
I'll be your everything,
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
I knew the moment that we met
I had to be a part of you, someone you won't forget
So don't say i'm like the other few
No matter what is going down, you'll find me next to you
Girl, i'll be your superman, i'll do what no one can
You'll find that i'm the everything that you need
Deep down inside of you
No matter what you do
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
You can call me when you want me, if you need a friend you got me
I'll be your everything, fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic, just call out go go gadget
I'll be your everything,
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
No sweat, when the claw is on his way,
Don't worry 'bout him catching you, don't even be afraid
Some how some way, i'll find out what's the deal
And i'll be there to rescue you, you'll see that i'm for real
Girl, i'll be your superman, i'll do what no one can
You'll find that i'm the everything that you need
Deep down inside of you
No matter what you do
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
You can call me when you want me, if you need a friend you got me i'll be your everything, fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic, just call out go go gadget
I'll be your everything,
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
You can call me when you want me, if you need a friend you got me i'll be your everything, fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic, just call out go go gadget
I'll be your everything,
You'll see i'm everything you want and more
You can call me when you want me, if you need a friend you got me i'll be your everything, fulfill your every dream
We can do it automatic, just call out go go gadget
I'll be your everything,
You'll see i'm everything you want and more

For Them It's Automatic
People lie and they like it...
Just that way.
People lie out of habit,
Like a sport...
To play!
It is in their eyes as if there's something to hide!
And there are those people lieing to defy with denying.
People lie and they like it...
Everyday.
People lie out of habit,
And it's here to stay!
It's in their eyes as if there's something to hide!
And there are those people lieing defying to deny,
They are lieing out of habit since for them it's automatic.
People lie and they like it...
Just that way.
Lieing out of habit since for them it's automatic.
People lie and they like it...
Everyday.
Lieing out of habit since for them it's automatic.
People lie and they like it...
Just that way.
Lieing out of habit since for them it's automatic.
It's in their eyes as if there's something to hide!
Lieing out of habit since for them it's automatic.
People lie and think,
They're in disguise.
And lieing out of habit since for them it's automatic.
People lie and think,
They're in disguise.
And lieing out of habit since for them it's automatic.
And lieing out of habit since for them it's automatic.

Response to Merton: Balandi and Alkaocai
To choose the world is to choose to do the work I am capable of doing,
in collaboration with my brother and sister, to make the world better, more free,
more just, more livable, more human. And it has now become transparently
obvious that mere automatic 'rejection of the world' and 'contempt for the world'
is in fact not a choice but an evasion of choice.'
Thomas Merton. Contemplation in A World of Action
Our world is
bleeding out
filling the sea
with stolen
humanity
Why should I not
reject this contemptible
world?
Last night
in Kahdahar's shadow
Fear smashed open
the simple doors
of Balandi and Alkaozai
as an American soldier
defiled
the mothers and children
of two nations,
spread thick their blood
and painted red
this sinful
world.

I Need to Forget You
Every day I see you
It hard for me because what you say
I need to forget you
I can't talk to other guys when you're in my mind
Although the process is going take slow to get over you
Every day there you're
It makes me so hard to live without you by my side because
You're the guy that I'm looking for
I need to forget you
If you don't want me then I need to move on
I realized that I should like someone who likes me for me
Every day the same thing happen
Like we keep looking at each other
So we need to stop and go our separate way
I need to forget you
I keep crying about how we're not together so I need to move on
I will found someone who will want me and not care what I look like
Every day there you're
It makes me so hard to live without you by my side because
You're the guy that I'm looking for
I need to forget you
If you don't want me then I need to move on
I realized that I should like someone who likes me for me
Every day I feel so alone because
I'm not with you and need you so bad
I always dream us with happy ending
I need to forget you
This is the real world not fairly tale
I know I will found that guy
So goodbye and I don't care about us being together anymore
I need to forget you

It's Hard to Grow
Little do they know,
Each season has an ending.
With one clean sweep...
What was no longer is to be!
It's hard to grow,
And go through doors that have to close.
But for them...
They want these doors stayed open.
But they've been stopped...
Hitting bottom from the top.
Dropped and blocked.
Little do they know,
Each season has an ending...
Swoosh
With one clean sweep...
What was no longer is to be!
Oh Lawd it's hard to grow,
And go through doors that have to clossssuup.
But for them...
They want these doors stayed open.
Little do they know,
Each season has an ending.
With one clean sweep...
What was no longer is to be!
It's hard to grow,
And go through doors that have to close.
But for them...
They want these doors stayed open.
But for them...
They want these doors stayed open.
But for them...
These doors will not be opened again!

Its Automatic
(graham russell)
All my life Ive been a manual man
I like the floor all the power in my hand
Driving up and down the road all day
Overtaking anything in the way
Alongside us came a man in a grin
Winding down the window clever again
You know manual is far too old
To keep pace then he left us cold
Its automatic, its automatic
Its automatic, it goes by itself
Quick thinking and a mutual aim
So on finding out the name of the game
A different unit was ordered that day
Who wants to go thru the gears anyway
The same color the same design
The same car with a different mind
Knowing now we wouldnt take second place
Both saying with a smile on our face.

This your gift
She said that each one in the world
has a special talent: what we’re better at,
than anybody else… so, it’s a glorious gift,
- a glorious duty - to know, acknowledge, this;
but what happens, so she said,
is that we know this, and deny it;
but then if pressed somehow, we make
a condition for ourself: ‘well, only if…’
and this – the devil in the detail – is a way
to lock our talent in; to keep the world without…
I said to her, an instance? and she said,
this man, he had a gift: to be always
in the rightest place, and at the rightest time;
but when this was revealed to him, he said,
OK but only if I can give up my job..
but it was his job, she said, enabled him
to manifest that talent…
you may not forget this poem;
this was a lady I shall not forget.

I Get Wild / Wild Gravity
Fooled around enough with numbers
Lets not be ourselves today
Is it just my imagination
Is it just someones fave
Pleasantly out of proportion
Its hard to hold on to the ground
Now I didnt come to run
And this is everything
And gravity lets you down
I get wild, wizing up
I just cant let go
I get wild when I get ready
I can hardly talk
Living lights
Special lights
Yellow turns blue
I get wild its automatic
I can hardly move
Go ahead and pull the curtains
Check to see if Im still here
Let me lose my perspective
Something worth waiting for
Somewhere in south carolina
And gravity dont mean a thing
And all around the world
Each and evryone
Playing with a heart of steel
I get up climbing out
How did I get home?
Ill survive the situation
Somebody shut the door
Beautiful
Beautiful
Climbing up the wall
I get by on automatic
No surprise at all
No one here can recognize you
Here is evrything that you like
Feelings without explanations
Somethings are hard to describe
The sound of a cigarette burning
A place there where evrything spins
And the sounds inside your mind
Is playing all the time
Playing with a heart of steel
I get wild, wizing up
I just cant let go
I get wild when I get ready
I can hardly talk
Red n white black to gold
Yellow turns blue
I get wild its automatic
I can hardly move
I get up pushing up
How did I get home?
Ill survive the situation
Somebody shut the door
Shut the door
Shut the door
Climbing up the wall
I get by on automatic
No surprise at all

What in this world
Feel so alive
Makes us then breaks us
Then helps us survive
Buries our hopes then revives our desire to succeed
Or our greed
Who in this World
Sees when i cry
Throws me then shows me
That i'm justified
Measure my worth then decide that i'm not what
they need
They've agreed
Where in this world can i hide
where can i find
Someone that sees me inside
To confide
How in this world
Can i go on
Wondering if you'll think of me when i'm gone
Shielding my eyes from the pitiless light of the glare
Should you care
When in this world
is it enough
i never thought it could be quite this rough
Living my life as if millions of people don't stare
they're not there
Why should i have to defend or deride
Most of the rules of the game
i've defied
Though it's been hard on my pride
It's been one hell of a ride
Curiously
I didn't set out to be
Famous
