Everyone is busy but I am not
still my phone is ringing and it doesn't stop
but I can't be bothered to pick it up
'cause .. 'cause
I can move a mountain ´cause I´ve done so
but today´s chances are slim to none
so please don't tell me what to do
'cause .. 'cause
I can do this - but I think I won't
I can make it – just see if I don't
I can fix it all - but hey - nay
let's just do it some other day
Pressure – to get things done
Pressure – I don´t jump the gun
Pressure – Serve an ace before things blow up right in my face
Pressure – is what I need
Pressure – Oh yes indeed
Pressure – makes me shine
So!
I already know how your story goes
Don't wanna hear about my tragic flaws
I can't be bothered to listen up
'cause .. 'cause
I´m not lazy, you know, I´ve tried
But for me it doesn´t work from nine to five
So I just do it at my own
pace .. 'cause
I can do this - but I think I won't
I can make it – just see if I don't
I can fix it all - but hey - nay
let's just do it some other day

There’s this funny feeling
that something passed me by
I could have been a model
but then again I’m small
I'm not a fan of miracles
I don't rely on fate
but do I wonder where I'd be
if I'd gone another way
I could be a pilot or a poet,
yes a tailor or a dancer in a circus,
an old lady with a cat.
I could be a painter or builder,
yes a pirate but
is it just as simple as that?
What if I say yes?
What if I say no?
Doesn't change a thing as far as I know
What if I go on?
What if I stop?
I may succeed or just fuck it up
So when I sit and ponder
over everything
I also travel to the future
and to places that I might have seen
Maybe there is a deeper meaning
it's not for me to decide
I can become a different person
And still be the one you know
I could be a pilot or a poet,
yes a tailor or a dancer in a circus,
an old lady with a cat
I could be a painter or builder,
yes a pirate but
is it just as simple as that?
What if I say yes?
What if I say no?
Doesn't change a thing as far as I know
What if I go on?
What if I stop?
I may succeed or just fuck it up

You can call me foolish
but you can't fool me twice
If you keep on messin'
I swear you will pay the price
You can call me selfish
but you can fuck yourself
why don't you mind your own business
my sweet ne'er-do-well
Some people call me quirky
some talk behind my back
they roll their eyes and whisper
"Oh gosh, she´s such a brat!"
What's it all about?
I don't get the fuss.
So I roll my eyes, think to myself
"Stupid is as stupid does."
You can call me wonderous
I wonder why you do
I'm completely normal
I'm just different from you

Out of the window
down to the street
she yells at her husband
He's tired and loaded
he drives off to work
"Just move it, god damn!"
Past mothers and fathers
who scream at their kids
he roars like a madman
Straight into the office
he barks at the next best
as loud as he can
You gotta speak softly
will you speak to me
speak to me
I can't hear a word
hear a word
while you scream
You gotta speak softly
when you speak to me
speak to me
It´s not just an act that
I don't understand
you at all
You´re full of anger
spitting out words
all in capital letters
I´m trying to get it
but there´s no sound
it shatters my nerves
If you keep on yellin´
It won´t change a thing
You´re just making it worse
This is a languages
I don´t want to speak
And you´re right, it hurts!
You gotta speak softly
will you speak to me
speak to me
I can't hear a word
hear a word
while you scream
You gotta speak softly
when you speak to me
speak to me
It´s not just an act that
I don't understand
you at all

Marina & The Kats Vienna, Austria
Fresh, innovative indie swing from Vienna.
Originally a three-piece and now a
quartet, Marina & The Kats has been one of the most exciting and trailblazing bands in Austria (if not Europe) for years, as anyone who has ever had the chance to catch one of their many high-octane shows will confirm.
