Hard Being A Man

It‘s hard being a man
Sparkling romance
Above blue sky
All is intact
But it is just the first act
You wanna become an adventure
You wanna be a picture
A picture in their mind
A picture of the kind
It fades, it never
It‘s hard being a man

Sinister

Straight ahead, up your head
You find yourself at a cocktail party
Dressed so sharp and talking so fancy
Talking about things being black or white
But actually boy, you know a shade of grey
Straight ahead, up your head
You gaze at those pretty, pretty girls
After words, it follows action
You help yourself with a convient lie
Put on a charming fake smile
Straight ahead, up your head
What would your mother say right now
And your father, I mean how
Your siblings, your brothers and your sister
Turned your back on them
You went all sinister
Straight ahead, up your head
You help yourself with a convient lie
Put on a charming fake smile
A charming fake smile
Straight ahead, up your head

I Am A Fact

My reality is more real than yours
My dreams are more dreamy than yours
My style, it is cheaper than yours
And my wit girl, it is heavier than yours
And uh Babe, that‘s a fact
Uh Babe, I am a fact
It‘s more complicated than that
I run hot, when you won‘t
I am not, cause you are a lot
I am so stressed, ‘cause you always protest
I am a mess, but you are no less
And uh Babe, that‘s a fact
Uh Babe, I am a fact
It‘s more complicated than that
Oh your eyes, they got more blue than mine
Oh your lips, they are softer than mine
Oh your skin, it got more colour than mine
All in all you are prettier than I
And uh Babe, that‘s a fact
Uh Babe, I am a fact
It‘s more complicated than that

Losing My Cool

Lately I am not my fucking self
Every decision feels like theft
You fucked up, thought I‘d understand
But it‘s not that easy when you smile like that
It‘s hard, I am trying
It‘s complicated, I am trying
It‘s always you
Never me
You are not helping, you are not exactly easy
And how you dare, treat me as you do
It‘s not kind, you‘re fucking with my mind
I am losing my cool, I am not your fool
It‘s hard, I am trying
It‘s complicated, I am trying
It‘s always you
Never me

Keep getting me wrong
Keep saying I am strong
Keep making me feel
Keep saying I am steel
It‘s not okay
Not okay
That‘s not okay
What do you want me to say?
Keep saying I am the man
Keep saying I give a damn
I do what I can
I‘ve got a plan
It‘s not okay
Not okay
That‘s not okay
What do you want me to say?
It‘s hardly working, working out
And that is okay
What do you want me to say?
Keep getting me wrong
What do you want me to say?

Oh, what did you do?
Oh Christine
Come on, make it good
Come on, make it fast
Make me change my mood
And make it last
Come on be happy
Please be funny
Don‘t be witty
It makes you look silly
Oh Christine
I really like your style
Oh Christine
You wanna make me like
Oh Christine
I like it when you smile
Oh Christine
Please don‘t let it die
Oh Christine
What did you do?
Come on, crack up a smile
Hey act alive
Don‘t be too real
It makes them feel
Come on, you can cry
What a stoic life
Why would you lie
You are nothing like your profile
Oh Christine
Life is so funny
Oh Christine
Life is so boring
Oh Christine
I know that you know
Oh Christine
Don‘t act so shallow

What It Takes
05:20

|
Possibilities, they are endless
So they say, well more or less
Sure you can, walk on water
As long as you are blessed
For others it is just a stressful test
I hope you‘ve got what it takes
‘Cause for others it is just like catching snowflakes
I hope you‘ve got what it takes
‘Cause for others it is just like eating cupcakes
In time there will be light
It will shine so bright
We will not lose sight
Just hold thight

JOHNNY BATARD Graz, Austria
A little indie, more rock'n'roll and three chords. What seems to be few ingredients can be quite filling, as mixed on Johnny
Batard's debut record 'What Do You Want Me To Say?'
With Johnny Batard, the Kingsized 'Bastards bass player has finally found the right valve to pour his rascals into indie noise. He is the singer who is looking for love only to throw it away immediately.

I feel like I could have written this song while with my ex. It is so bitingly truthful, holding back none of the bitter reality of feelings that a toxic relationship establishes. The build up of vocalization is spitting, heartwrenching and really brings the lyrics to their fullest emotional potential. Can’t describe how much I love the juxtaposition of extremes recurring throughout this album, both lyrically and thematically.
