Home Alone 35
Genres: Pop, Funk
Verse 1 I don't know what time it is and I don't care/ I'm lying on a sofa, not going anywhere/ I love my family very much, nothing is as vital as they are/ And I am super happy that now they are very far/ Chorus The house is empty, no kids, no wife/ This is Home Alone number thirty-five/ The most boring sequel there can be/ just what I need/ Verse2 Life is busy all the time/ And chances to relax are rare/ So laziness is not a crime/ When there's a spot, be aware/ There is always something to do/ And you can just keep pushing through/ But there is also another way/ Have a 'do nothing day'/ Chorus The house is empty, no kids, no wife/ This is Home Alone number thirty-five/ The most boring sequel there can be/ just what I need/

Verse1 Life was so easy back in the days Back, when Calories were like a Segway As soon as they came they faded away Even though I was in the club every friday Now I spend my days on the jogging trail And the numbers just keep getting bigger on the scale What do you want for christmas?" asked my wife I said, new knees would be nice Chorus Age is just a number, if only it were I can't travel to the past, even if my mind is there Verse2 Now going to the clubs is like a farce, Those kids sound like they are from Mars I just don't understand that alien code Even though I'm like ET, I want to go home Chorus Age is just a number, if only it were I can't travel to the past, even if my mind is there Verse3 I try to be cool, but it's getting hard to stunt While I tie my shoes, I always have to grunt When deciding whether to put parquet or laminate on the floor, It's time to admit that the youth is gone Chorus Age is just a number, if only it were I can't travel to the past, even if my mind is there

Verse 1 I tried to build A nice wooden shed, A 3-week sick leave Is where it ended. I curse while I shovel the snow Or while I'm chopping the wood. I really try to like fishing, But I am just not like you. Chorus 1 Dad, Are you still proud of me? I'm doing my best To be a good man. At times, we are like the sun and the moon. I still love you. Verse 2 It was silent on the boat, The fish didn't bite. It wasn't the only thing That wasn't right. I should've done that more often with you, Instead, I was just working in my room. I realized it fast, you were not like me. You learned to sing before you could speak. I was proud, but embarrassed too. I could not sing the simplest tune. Chorus 2 Son, I wish you could see. I'm doing my best To be a good man. At times, we are like the sun and the moon. I still love you. Verse 3 Whenever you sing, it's off-key, Still, you sang a lullaby to me When I was going to sleep. Back then, I told you to stop, But now it means much to me. Now we meet at Christmas time, Pretending all is fine. But neither of us is blind. You asked me to pass the wine. It's our only bond tonight. Chorus 3 Hey, Could you please understand? You are a really good man, And I am proud of you. Why can't I say it out loud?
