Honeybum

Long dark hair brown eyes that are cheeky eyed
Leave the make-up on the shelf, your face doesn't need to hide
Dress down chick, makes you bona fide
Sending you this invitation on this roller coaster ride
Let's fly away and start a brand new colony,
Free of deception, love affairs and robbery
Having only one woman really doesn't bother me
It may be a novelty, I feel fate calling me
Just like a mate, more like a bro,
If I see another hot chick, I can let you know
Witty and clever, the relationship will grow
Down for whatever, let's go to Toronto
Introduce you to my dog, my family and my friends
Spontaneity okay, we can change our plans
A trip to Oz, scuba diving in Cairns,
Walk along the white sands as we're holding hands

Yeah you're my honeybum
You be my Bonnie I'm your Clyde
Cause you're my honeybum
Let's take these lives for a ride
Cause you're my honeybum
On this ride I'll be your guide
Cause you're my honeybum

僕たちの未来の話しよう
想像しよう　夢みよう　叶えよう
大阪城みたいな家　
世界中君と旅したいね
アルバイトした方がいいな
もう親に言った--　君の親に会わせて
ちょちょちょ　ちょっとまって
Reminiscing of the beach, good times we had plenty
Sun tanning in the sand with your body all sweaty
The sexual tension is so heavy
Back to the hotel, yeah I'm ready
Pick up the towels, I've got the keys
I can't wait to peel off that pink bikini
Keep the blinds open cause I want to see
今私は、めっちゃイヤらしい！　

Yeah you're my honeybum
You be my Bonnie I'm your Clyde
Cause you're my honeybum
Let's take these lives for a ride
Cause you're my honeybum
On this ride I'll be your guide
Cause you're my honeybum

I'll put a roof over your head and I will feed you
Join me on this ride and I will lead you
Love you so much that I would bleed for you
Because I can't live without you, damn I need you
Need you more than a fireman needs his hose
Need you more than a ballerina needs her toes
Need you more than Pinocchio needs his nose
Need you more than a supermodel needs his pose

Yeah you're my honeybum
You be my Bonnie I'm your Clyde
Cause you're my honeybum
Let's take these lives for a ride
Cause you're my honeybum
On this ride I'll be your guide
俺のハニーバム honeybum

Epiphany

 

(Verse 1)

My own worst enemy,

used to be a friend to me

Got the power to instill the fear,

staring right back at me in the mirror

No matter how much I try,

course of actions always justify

The reasons why I shouldn't change,

Lack of simplicity to rearrange

(chorus x2)

While you're lookin' at me

Tell me what you see

Searchin' for an answer, lookin' deep inside

I can try and run but I can never hide

(Verse 2)

Look into my eyes I'll tell you what I can see

Insecurities are transparent as can be

The constant lies and the bullshittin'

The egotistical button pushin'

Take away my possessions, take away my pride

All I got left is a hole inside

This realization is a gift to me

This is my epiphany

(chorus x2)

While you're lookin' at me

Tell me what you see

Searchin' for an answer, lookin' deep inside

I can try and run but I can never hide

(Guitar Solo)

(chorus x2)

While you're lookin' at me

Tell me what you see

Searchin' for an answer, lookin' deep inside

I can try and run but I can never hide

(Bridge)

I can tell by those lies in your eyes

I can see inside that waning pride

Your waning, your waning, your waning pride

Your waning, your waning, your waning pride

Your waning, your waning, your waning pride, woah

(chorus x2)

While you're lookin' at me

Tell me what you see

Searchin' for an answer, lookin' deep inside

I can try and run but I can never hide

Remedy

 

(Chorus)

Kanashimi

Searchin' for serenity through the pain and sorrow

I still believe

I will find a remedy and I will look tomorrow

Kanashimi

Nothin' is for free, I can only borrow

I still believe

I will find a remedy

(Verse 1)

Short a few bucks, down on my luck

Life has shot me in the face with a hockey puck

Tied me to a truck and is dragging me through the muck

Thanksgiving can't afford a turkey nor a duck

Hungry to the point where I wanna throw up

Swallow my pride, nowhere to turn to, I'm stuck

Receive the welfare papers, sign my John Hancock

Receive the welfare check, rip rip, tear it up

(Chorus)

Kanashimi

Searchin' for serenity through the pain and sorrow

I still believe

I will find a remedy and I will look tomorrow

Kanashimi

Nothin' is for free, I can only borrow

I still believe

I will find a remedy

(Verse 2)

(I don't give a fuck, this angers feeding me

Free time is not spent leisurely recently

The smell of the dollar is teasing me, it's leading me

Shouldn't this life be taken more easily

What I'm putting in I should be getting out more frequently

But I'm not, people should have a little decency

The same scenerio leads to juvenile deliquency

But not me, believe in me, cause that's the way it needs to be

(chorus)

Kanashimi

Searchin' for serenity through the pain and sorrow

I still believe

I will find a remedy and I will look tomorrow

Kanashimi

Nothin' is for free, I can only borrow

I still believe

I will find a remedy

(bridge)

Dig deep into my heart

Reaching deep into my soul

Alive I strive, to reach my goal

This is why I'm here, It's what I'm fighting for

I aint sittin' on my ass, aint goina take it anymore

(Chorus x2)

Kanashimi

Searchin' for serenity through the pain and sorrow

I still believe

I will find a remedy and I will look tomorrow

Kanashimi

Nothin' is for free, I can only borrow

I still believe

I will find a remedy

Hey yall, hope all is goin well for ya

Kracker Japz – Just Funk

 

So tired I can sleep

My legs are feeling weak

Yet I take it to the street

Two feet and a heartbeat

(Verse 1)

Rush hour train, same old same

Im an alien waiting to be recognized by the fame

Monotonous things, hands in rings

Wasting my time as the pendulum swings

Somewhere, out there, the people don't care

Im being used and abused like an old pair of underwear

You can wash me, throw me in the laundry

I don't give a fuck, can't nobody stop me

Just watch me

You can wash me

Im dirty laundry

So tired I can sleep

My legs are feeling weak

Yet I take it to the street

Two feet and a heartbeat

(Verse 2)

To illuminate the night they use lights so bright

It's a quiet night, not a single soul in sight

Yet my feet are getting' stepped on as I'm getting' slept on

To relieve my stresses, I'm goina head on down

To the hottest joint in town, where I can be found

To get away from the sound,

Of the hustle and bustle of the big bad city

To where the boys flex muscles and the girls are pretty

Just watch me

You can wash me

Im dirty laundry

So tired I can sleep

My legs are feeling weak

Yet I take it to the street

Two feet and a heartbeat

I smoke a pack a day, and Im always running late

My hair is going grey and I gained a bit of weight

My lifestyle is okay when my jobs a piece of cake

Venues we got to play, bling bling I like to take

So tired I can sleep

My legs are feeling weak

Yet I take it to the street

Two feet and a heartbeat

So tired I can sleep

My legs are feeling weak

Yet I take it to the street

Two feet and a heartbeat

atractive beat
I--d highlight the guitar work in this track.
The voice fits very good with all the background.
The production is fine but could be improved

Dude this song is sooo cool, love the cowbell, Great vocals, Bass could be a bit louder and in your face, like the guitar but sort of drowned out the bass so not much rhythem. Loved the intro
