Lyrics here. I don’t have all of Rubberman’s tunes, because Jonas doesn’t really like giving them out and stuff... BUT these are official, I think Chris convinced him and put them up on the site for a little while (thanks dude!) and some were taken from the CD sleeve. I also have a few exerpts from the board when everybody would just burst out into song. Please note that most of these lyrics are from the demos and they have since changed. If you want them the way they are now, go buy the CD!
Paroles ici. Je n’ai pas toutes les chansons de Rubberman, parce que Jonas n’aime pas les donner et tout ça... MAIS celles-ci sont officielles, je crois que Chris l’a convaincu et les a mis sur leur site pour un petit bout de temps (merci full gros!) et certaines viennent du livret dans l'album. J’ai aussi quelques extraits venant du message board quand tout le monde décidait de chanter. S’il te plaît, prends en note que ces paroles viennent des démos et ont changé depuis. Si tu veux les paroles comme elles sont maintenant, va achèter le CD!

Alice
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

She did it in a day to day way
Said free smiles come if you pay
Holes in her arms like an LA freeway
Looking like heaven
Sky is falling down...

Round she'd spin like a tripping daisy
With no sun to bathe in
Nighttime calling and the moonlight falling
Where the alley cats are brawling
She's snowballing again
Did it in a had to have way
Said free trips come if you pay
Holes in her soles where the pushers pull away
Looking like heaven

Sky is falling
Down and out
Who knew she'd lose
Every gambler gets the blues
Nighttime calling
Moonlight falling
Where the alley cats are sniffing
She's tripping again

What would your mother say?
Life is a long strange trip
Don't trip it away
What would your father say?
Leave him out of this
Out of this
Out of this
He never owned me

She did it in a need to need way
Said redemption comes if you pray
Holes on her soul where the pushers pull away
Looking like heaven
Sky is falling
Down and out who knew she' lose
Every gambler gets the blues
Nighttime calling - moonlight falling
Where the alley cats lie

She has died...

Breathe
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Breathe
In
Now
Begin

And the shiver shivered up your spine
And the rhythms had you mesmerized
And then suddenly you close your eyes
What's in you mind

And the shiver quivered in your brain
So much closer to the one to blame
And then suddenly you fade away
You close your eyes

Sleep your weary head
Sleep your wandering head
Sleep with angels at your feet
And now you're dying from the heat
Realize the one to greet you
The Devil instead

The walls came down
They crash into hell
All your memories and stories
And past time glories
Were brought up
As they fell
The nightmare's yell
With just a

Breathe
In
Now
Begin

And the chatter shattered down the hall
And the paranoia made its call
And the demons let the curtain fall
Down in your mind

Then the chatter shattered in your head
Reminiscent of the words he said
But it stayed when it should have fled
And left you behind

Come Deceiving
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Common minded
General and gray
Point across
Coin the phrase
And be it as it may
Always bleeding
Always loved

Territoreason a bull to fight
What came around
Went back around
And those who left were right
Always bleeding

Come believing
You don’t know what to know
Come deceiving
You don’t know what to show

Naked, overdressed and fake
Rob the very hand you shake
Always bleeding
Always letting go

Glorified and
Terrified and dead
The never sound
Of common ground
Went to their new clear heads
Always mourning
Always loved

Come now lady
Be it as it was
What’s made of meat
And show its teeth
Has torn through your kid gloves
Always mourning

lyrics, paroles: John Lennon
music, musique: John Lennon

Here come old flat top
He come grooving up slowly
He got joo joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please.

He wear no shoe shine
He got toe jam football
He got funny finger
He shoot Coca cola
He say I know you - you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free.
Come together right now over me

He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you feel his disease.
Come together right now over me

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter he say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking 'cause he's hard to see.
Come together right now over me

Yeah! Come together...

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Love, can you hear me crying?
This blind faith there's no denying
Us, love, only want the best for you

Come Down Child
Can't you see I'm trying
You expect and there is no relying
Oh, love, only want the best for you

Anything you wanted dear
I'll bring back to you with fear
Anything you wanted now
I'll bring back to you somehow

Come Down Child
Silver spoon is glistening
I cry, only heaven's listening
Give, give, only want the best for you
Come Down Child
Following I'm running
Your love has got me heavy gunning
Take, take, only want the best for you

Down Child...

Love, can you see me shaking,
Your pleads only heaven saking
So spoiled, gotta get a grip on you

Easy, babe, can't you see I'm giving?
Daddy works hard,
Mommy's out living
Dollar bills...
Only want the best for you...

What’s to come
Of you
Who is going
To join you
Who is going to be by my side
Who has the power
Who has the pride

Don’t be afraid
Of the monsters
That sleep under your bed
Don’t be afraid
Of the clown
That sleeps inside your head

Be happy

What’s to come
Of me
Who is going
To join me
Who is to know what’s to come next
Who gives a hell man
Life’s too complex

Molly

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Hold on bella
He's the real McCoy
Suburban trash
Glorified boy toy
Chameleon to what your going through
A cheater's bolt
And a lying screw

Knows damn well
It ain’t no way to be
Makes a mean old mess
With daddy's recipe
Eyes are warm
Heart is going to freeze
You look back
You're suffering for free

Hey Molly do you have the strength
To know of something real that they have
Do you not me want to feel
Hey Molly do you have the way
You got something here that they have
Do you not me want to
Suffering for...

 

More Than I Can Chew

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Lay me down
Party's over everyone's gone
Lay me down
Can we keep the lights on
Taste of wine on your lips
They roll on

Won't you
Lay me down
Can we keep the lights on

Always bit off
More than I could chew
This time around
It's loving you
What's done is done
What's through is through
Again

Lay me down
The wine is gone
And everyone's home
Won't you lay me down
‘Cause no one's driving this boy home

Taste of smoke
On your tongue
It rolls on
Won't you
Lay me down
Can we keep the lights on

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry

'Cause - 'cause - 'cause I remember when a we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites - yeah! -
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah!
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way, yeah!
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh. Yeah!

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry. Eh, yeah!
A little darlin', don't shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry. Eh!

Said - said - said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown, yeah!
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
I seh, logwood burnin' through the nights, yeah!
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, say,
Of which I'll share with you, yeah!
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through.
Oh, while I'm gone,
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!

So no, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
I seh, O little - O little darlin', don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry, eh.

No, woman - no, woman - no, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
One more time I got to say:
O little - little darlin', please don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

 

Philosophy
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Sun shines through
The window on a hazy morning
Vision is still bloodshot
And my tongue feels like suede

Stood up quick and the head-rush hit
Hit me with no warning
Said I'd die by 18
But I'm 20 and OK

The moon shines through
The window on a hazy night
Still I've got nothing to lose you said
Everything's gonna be alright

You said call me
So I do and I tried
To get through to you
We talked of philosophy
The body and her outlook
Punk rock tunes
Far off moons
And the way that night shook
Talked of philosophy
The body and her outlook and I
Didn't even get her name

Sun shines through
The window on a hazy morning
Vision again bloodshot
And my tongue feels like suede

Stood up quick and the head-rush hit
hit me with no warning
Said I'd die by 18
But I'm 20 and OK

The moon shines through
The transparent seas at 2 AM
Still I see nothing of you
Silhouette of my best friend
Come closer please
My love my tease
I'm trying to find me and you

Roxane
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)

 

Send Love
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Let them seize the prey
Let them lead the way
Therefore come what may
Watch as counterparts are counting parts
And everybody's got something to say
You over there
You'd best be aware
Don't you overbear
Cause it ain’t very becoming
Being brought up
Being caught up
Being...

And if you see her
Send love
Tell her I'm over here
Above
And if the mind sometimes
Won't let you fade away
And if you see her
Send love

Let them seize the day
Let them lead the way
Tomorrow’s gone today
And deliverance is relevant
If you have really got something to steal
Your sweet demise
Therefore compromise
Juxtapose the prize
Cause the counterfeit is counting
And no one's got a head
For what is real

Sweet Hereafter
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

So you think you know what you're here for
Therefore you've got an answer for this
When the big hand grabs you tight by the throat
And the little hand gives you a kiss
Montre Molle you twist in bliss
Redesign, redefine the objects you once owned
Can you even find direction in this
Can you even find your way home

Sweet Hereafter
The time puts you into your place

You dedicate your life to the cause
And effect in effect you know where to stand
When the right hand gives all you can eat
And the left hand takes all that it can
Abbreviate and tear at the line
Consummate, defecate, get out of the way
When the wine is gone and the host is asleep
I think you've overstayed your

Sweet Hereafter
The time puts you into your
At least you still have somewhere call your home
I think you're better off just walking on your own two feet
When the wine is gone and your host is asleep
You've overstayed your
Sweet...

Yes the time comes and it pulls away
Gonna be the one, you have to say
The one
The everlasting
Ever fighting
Ever loving
Sweet...

 

Test Of Time
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

It’s the test of time
That I failed to find
It’s the lack of mind
That dragged me behind
Opportunity flew by me
Like a Mac truck on a highway
Gonna fly my way up to the top
And that knock on my front door
Rang through the corridor
Echoed and echoed
And it stopped

Yes I will breathe...
‘Till I lose my breath
Yes I will try...
‘Till I go down with the rest
Yes I will give...
‘Till they learn to expect
Breathe and I’ll try
And I’ll give like the rest

It’s the test of time
That I failed to find
It’s the lack of mind
That I failed to climb
Opportunity flew by me
Like a Mac truck on a highway
Gonna hitchhike my way to the top
And that rock at my front door
Rolled through the corridor
Rolled and it rolled
And it stopped

 

The Itis
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Lately there's debauchery
Of sloth involved in
All of my activity has been lost
Only see what's going 'round
Between these four wall Itis got me down
Without a sound

For days
Forgive
The way
I live

Lazy's just a slower
Way to sink
Comfortable here lying on the brink

Bed has got the best of me
At our best
When she is lying next to me
Inside her sheets she puts a hold on me
Itis reunites the reasons we were meant to be

 

These Lies
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

You were there The room was filled and empty You were there Let's be fulfilled and steady

Let's build on that first smile
That smile held so unsteady
Never promised you
Ready was when I was ready

You
Confide
Combine
Relied

Watch you as you
Read these eyes
Read thes lies

Run away from...

Maybe I'm not cut out to be this
This man who stands here
In boys clothes and boys dreams
I've been smoking fear
Shed my life through prisons of your tears
Never promised you
Steady was when I was ready
You...

Run away from me...
 

Timing
top, haut

lyrics, paroles: Jonas Tomalty
music, musique: Rubberman

Hey, Susie wanna come out and play?
I got a brand new bike
And I'm driving
I'm riding your way

Always afraid to stray
What would your mother say?
You've got an angel's cut
But the devil's fray
A brand new bike
And I'm driving
I'm riding your way

Young hands are learning
Foreign flesh overturning
I lay here before you
Close your eyes,
I will explore you

You rose to your knees
Pulled the wet sheets from inside your thigh
I was adjusting to the meanwhile emotions of being inside
You caught your head back, ingest
My hands trace your chest
I must confess, we're better off undressed
As I withdraw from you, I've got the scars to prove that...
