This Time it's Different
03:31
|

There are men that make you sad
and men that make you mad
those men you got over
not the ones you did not understand
You say you have been had
that you’ve been tricked so bad
those days are over
this time you say you’ll make a stand
(CHORUS)
She’ll tell you outright
that she pulls your heart out
and you will blown, for sure
to smithereens
not what you had in mind,
now did you
if you’re lucky she’ll abuse you
if not humiliate you
most likely she will cry
don’t ask me why
and then she’ll shout
hysterically
until there’s nothing
nothing left of you and me
‘I love you too’, is what you said
Another lie that got me mad
More hopes got shattered
I should have passed on him instead
'Better loved and lost', they said
Or it will hurt until you’re dead
those days are over
this time I know I’ll make a stand

Long Time No See
04:02
|

(Verse 1)
It has been a while, I know
that I saw you here
You can tell me if I’m wrong
but have you dyed your hair?
(Interlude 1)
I saw your eyes, the were ferocious
If looks could kill then I’d be gone
I didn’t know you’d been so hopeless
I must admit that I moved on
(Verse 2)
Do you know where I went wrong
‘cause I’m not that sure
You said you wanted to be strong
Said you would endure
(Interlude 2)
The moment you knew me well
I got slightly disappointed
The moment that I could tell
You got slightly disappointed
She’s coming along (3x)
(Verse 1)
I think you understood me wrong
‘cause I don’t lie that much
Didn’t want to cause you harm
I was surprised it hurt that much
I think you understood me wrong

Limpy Jack goes Wild
03:14
|
|||
Limpy Jack has dancing shoes to spare
and he is painfully aware
that he is making a fool of himself
‘cause everyone stares
while no-one dares
to come on the dance floor
so Jack remains a one-man show
you have to give it to him
nowbody wants to join in
don’t know what’s more pathetic
a limb that is prosthetic
or Limpy Jack that turns around
(2x)

Who will survive the Apocalypse (guess why) (3x)
Who will survive, who will survive
No, the zombies won’t (guess why) (4x)
Oh, we won’t make it
Who will survive the Apocalypse (guess why) (3x)
Who will survive, who will survive

It's All for the Best
03:11
|

(Verse)
So glad that you confessed (you know)
Our God will do the rest (you know)
You won’t feel the pain (you know)
It’s not that we’re insane (you know)
It's all for the best (you know)
Our God will do the rest (you know)
James Foley, Ali Al-Sayyed, Steven Sotloff, Haruna Yukawa, David Haines, Alan Henning, Peter Kassig, Hervé Gourdel, Kenji Goto, Abbas Medlej, Hujam Surchi
And the list goes on and on...

Unforeseen Crash
04:00
|
|||
All right, Girl
it’s you that ride along
no seat belts
this ride is for the brave and strong
but then the turn goes wrong
so wrong
Too bad, Girl
this ride did not take long
had fun though
until that very turn went wrong
how could that turn go wrong?
so wrong
My bad, Girl
you only left the door
slick driving
is what your parents hate me for
too bad you are no more
no more
So sad Girl
once again I’m on the run
they blame me
for all the evil things I’ve done
such bad can’t be undone
undone

Untrusty Firefighter
03:19
|
|||
I’m late for work
That wouldn’t be too bad
if I wasn’t a fire fighter
Everyone goes beserk
Now that wouldn’t be too bad
if this fire wasn’t getting brighter
(CHORUS)
Who puts the fire out?
(get the hose, and aim for the flame)
That red axe is oversized
now every door - or what’s behind -
will be chopped into a thousand pieces
if the kid is carbonized
then I leave him be and take care of me
before the temp increases
(CHORUS)

Stating the Obvious
03:22
|
|||
Twins,
are most likely
to win a lookalike contest
(don’t have to tell you why)
But Siamese Twins,
are least likely
to take their loneliness serious
(don’t have to tell you why)
(CHORUS)
Hey (yes, you are)
Am I stating the obvious?
(2x)
Friends,
are not likely
to be among your enemies
(don’t have to tell you why)
And if your enemy wins,
you are not likely
to celebrate his victory
(don’t have to tell you why)
(CHORUS)

Friday Fight
03:27
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Friday night, the night was young
Had to score at least one more hit
When we fight, we show that we’re strong
The hurt, well they deserve every bit
(Verse 2)
You were right and I was wrong
Should have been the first to admit
I denied, you knew all along
Getting us into all this shit
(CHORUS)
Out goes the light
This party is over
The crowd goes quiet
The bouncer moves over
(2x)
(Verse 2)

Emerald-Like Green
02:50
|
|||
(Verse 1)
You have been
a beauty queen
you have been
But beauty
runs skin-deep
you knew that
Eyes green, emerald-like green
(Verse 2)
Your skin has been
slowly wrinkling
it has
Cosmetics
A major spending
they have
(CHORUS)
Eyes green, emerald-like green
Eyes green, emerald-like green
(Verse 1)
(CHORUS 2x)

Girls' Night Out
04:03
|
|
||
(Verse 1)
When the girls go out
you have to stay behind
When the girls go out
you’re on your own
(Verse2) When the girls go out
it’s a girl’s-only night
When the girls go out
you’re on your own
(Chorus)
they smile, they shout
they drink, they laugh
they talk
they dance
then fall in love
they cry, they grin
they don’t ask much
but once exposed
you have to touch
Girls’ night out (2x)
(Verse 1)
(Verse 2)
(Chorus)

Three Time Hooray
04:25
|
|||
Three Times Hooray,
Another crony left the bank
Resilient as he is
Three Times Hooray,
And all that’s left is empty hands
As empty as our heads
Allow me to explain
I don’t know what I sell
You’ll be broke, I can tell
High frequency trading
(2x)
If your morals fade
then more money is made
High frequency trading
(2x)
Three Times Hooray,
Buy in September, sell in May
It’s easy if you know
Three Times Hooray,
The Fed Reserve has almost tanked
While the worst is yet to come

On Da Floor
03:38
|
|
||
I take a bow before we begin
and take your hand, resistance is futile
You turn around, prepare for a spin
With every move I pull you closer
This song is loud, this crowd is a sin
We dim the lights, the basses keep pumpin’
No standers-by, the floor is filled-in
Let’s reconcile these beats with somethin’
(CHORUS)
On da floor
On da floor
On da floor
On da floor
(4x)
(INTERLUDE)
Guy: Common Harry, get that body on the dance floor
Harry: No man, I don’t really feel like dancing today
Guy: Oh, common Harry, don’t be like that, it’ll be fun, you’ll see!
Harry: Seriously man, I’d rather stay here on the side, okay?
Guy: Now Harry, if you want me to, I can lead...
Harry: It’s not that man, I just had too much of a drink
Guy: Oh common, Harry, this party is almost over
Harry: No, I really don’t want to man, I’m more into other kinds of music, like Reggae or something
Choir: Reggae!
Harry: Oh shit...

Electric Polygraphs Brussels, Belgium
Electric Polygraphs is a band from Brussels, Belgium. For undisclosed reasons, they are unable to perform live and as such
write, perform and record their music from their private studio exclusively.
Thematically, most songs are as mundane as they come, but occasionally a more twisted topic will arise. This is to be expected, as Belgians are fond of surrealism and unconventional weirdness.
