| LESS THAN PERFECT [single version] Time: 4m51s [Listen] I tried to treat her to a spotless soul / But found someone had painted it black / She laughed at my face and called me a fool / Then quite casually threw it right back / A thousand punches a thousand rolls / Would prove them bastards right / A million crippled dreams now crushed / And shattered left and right / It’s a less than perfect world / From what I’ve seen / It’s a less than perfect world / This worn down scene / I twist and I turn as I’m tumbling down / Onto the fractured remains of my past / Slamming onto the repulsive mess / That was me when I was less of a mess / A thousand punches a thousand rolls / Would prove them bastards right / A million crippled dreams now crushed / And shattered left and right / It’s a less than perfect world / From what I’ve seen / It’s a less than perfect world / This worn down scene Words by Mårten Kellerman. Music by Mårten Kellerman, Jörgen Josefsson and Rickard Gunnarsson. Produced, recorded and mixed by Statemachine and Fred Caelou at Jennifer's and FBI Studios, Stockholm. Additional keyboards, guitars and programming by Fred Caelou. Published by Warner/Chappell & Subspace Communications. |
| Thinking Out Loud Time: 4m20s [Listen] Her faces hide behind an introverted smile / From enjoying mental flicks that flash before her eyes / She’s got it bad she’s in well over her head / Poor Jackie’s lost herselves in shades of deep red / With a set of strippers dancing madly in her head / While sifting solemnly through pages of her life / Our Jackie’s coming to she’s surfacing fast / With a set of strippers dancing madly in her head / Erotic monsters sleeping under her bed / So scared of coming out or thinking out loud / So scared of coming out or thinking out loud / With a set of strippers dancing madly in her head / Erotic monsters sleeping under her bed / If you’ll trust me I'll trust in you / Believe in me like I believe in you Words & music by Mårten Kellerman. Produced, recorded and mixed by Statemachine at Jennifer's and FBI Studios, Stockholm. Published by Warner/Chappell & Subspace Communications. |

| Battered and Bruised [KIND OF BLIND] Time: 6m05s [Listen] Guess I had to be kind of blind not to see / How it was bound to be in vain / Hung around for the plot to thicken / While being stabbed again and again / This time I’ll burn all bridges leading back Cause I’m not sure I’m strong enough / I simply have to bail / I’m fare to frail to be at the receiving end / I feel torn apart and abused / Battered and bruised Words & music by Mårten Kellerman.
