Four songs from The Hives, Sweden


"Square One Here I Come"

Well don't have no money cause I don't have a job
Don't have a job cause I ain't got no skills
Ain't got no skills 'cause I was not trained
I was not trained 'cause I didn't go to school
Didn't go to school 'cause nobody told me
Nobody told me 'cause nobody knew shit
Nobody knew shit 'cause nobody knows nothing
Nobody knows nothing and that's just it

What can you do? You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one
You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one

Don't have a home 'cause I don't pay no bills
Don't pay no bills 'cause nobody pays me
Nobody pays me 'cause I don't go to no work
Don't go to no work and that's just it

What can you do? You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one
You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one

I know what you say to me, but baby it can wait
I just stop, take a look around and realize it's too late

No job, no skills, no money, no nothing
No nothing 'cause I want it for free - Dirt cheap!
Want it for free, all that is coming to me

So I look real hard for somebody to blame
Someone to blame!
Somebody to blame or an easy way out
Easy way out!
An easy way out 'cause it ain't much fun
No fun!
The place that starts with a square and ends with a one

What can you do? You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one
You get what's given to you
Square one, here I come, here I come square one

Let down
You feel stupid
Don't cry
Can't do it
You can't win
Don't you forget it
You missed out
You get what's given to you

Square one here I come, here I come square one! [x4]
You get what's given to youuuuuuu...


"Puppet On A String"

Like a puppet on a string you hold on tight
You hold on tight like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string you hold on tight
You hold on tight, you hold on tight

Got your education from just hangin' around
You got your brain from a hole in the ground
You come up, look around, for a will of your own
But you're mine yeahhhhh

Like a puppet on a string [x4]

With porcelain eyes and the mind of a monkey
Rode into town on the back of what looked like a dead donkey
So I do, to you, what a puppet master would do
Can you tell? Yeahhhh!!!

Like a pupper on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Just like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string

Got your education from just hangin' around
You got your brain from a hole in the ground
You come up, look around, for a will of your own
But you're mine yeahhhhh

Like a puppet on a string you hold on tight
You hold on tight like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string you hold on tight
You hold on tight, you hold on tight
Like a puppet on a string you hold on tight
You hold on tight like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string you hold on tight
You hold on tight, you hold on tight



"Bigger Hole To Fill"

Look out!

I pet the cat along the whiskers
And always go along the grain
You'll never see me in the deep end
If I ain't got nothing to gain
Don't serve the fool or act the donkey
If you allow me to explain

A man who fights for causes worthy of a fool
Is a fool to fight for causes that's the golden rule
I take it to the table know all know fix know how
But if I'm gonna do it I ain't gonna do it now

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill

You see I have a proper education
I use enough to get me by
I got the answers to all my problems
But I ain't even gonna try

Work hard and be honest
Take chances and stay true
Just add it to the list of things that I ain't gonna do
Wherever there is a question a blurry answer's here to find
I say I'm gonna help you but I'm gonna change my mind

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
Got a bigger hole to fill

Got a bigger hole to fill [x3]
I got no time to spill ohohoh

He's got no time to spill
He's got a bigger hole to fill -
I got a bigger hole to fill
No he's got no time to spill
Cuz I got a bigger hole to fill

Got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill
No I ain't got no time to spill
I got a bigger hole to fill



"Tick Tack Boom"


Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was right all along
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you come taggin' along

Yeah, exhibit A, on the tray, what you say?
As I throw it in your face
Yeah, exhibit B, what you see? Well that's me,
I put it back in your place

Yeah, I done it before and I can do it some more
So what you waiting for?

Yeah, I was right all along

'Cause I have done it before and
I can do it some more
I got my eye on the score
I'm gonna cut to the core
It's too late it's too soon or is it?
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, boom

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was right, you were wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah, going, going you're gone

I saw your hesitating, waiting too much
'till it slipped through your hands
and then you stagger to your feet and out the door

'cause there's not second chance

That's right!

'Cause I have done it before and
I can do it some more
I got my eye on the score

It's too late it's too soon or is it?
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, boom

Check it

And you come crying to me - but it's too late
the man you try hard to be - but it's too late
get your head out the sand - but it's too late
it's too late, too late, too late, too late

Oh yeah, but it's too late
Yeah, but it's too late
get your head out the sand, it's too late
It's too late, too late

You know I've done it before and
I can do it some more
I got my eye on the score
I'm gonna cut to the core
I'm gonna cut to the core
It's too late it's too soon
It's too late it's too soon
It's too late it's too soon

Or is it?
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, boom
