Happy Here 04:19
And I've been needing you so long But I don't need you anymore Now you're taking more than you Ever gave before And I've been loving you endlessly But that has been the death of me And I don't know how I could Love you anymore And I've been searching for a meaning But here there's nothing left to find And all I need is a reason to get behind But I don't think I'm happy here anymore I don't think I'm happy here anymore And I've been needing you so long But now you're kicking in the door Isn't that all you ever wanted? Always wanted more And I've been searching for a meaning But here there's nothing left to find And all I need is a reason to get behind I don't think I'm happy here anymore I don't think I'm happy here anymore

All the things we're doing now, Were you doing them with her? Ah-aaha! And when you're keeping me loved up Are you ever looking back? Ah-aaha! Can I be your one in a million, Would you pick me from the crowd? Can I be your one in a million, Would you pick me from the crowd? And when you're looking for something new Will we be falling apart? Cause now I'm waiting for you again to Know what you want All the things we're doing now, Were you doing them with her? Ah-aaha! And is your loving recycable Or is it only ours? Ah-aaha! Can I be your one in a million, Would you pick me from the crowd? And when you're looking for something new Will we be falling apart Cause now I'm waiting for you again to Know what you want And when you're looking for something new... I'm just waiting for your message When will you send it? I'm just waiting for your message When will you send it? I'm just waiting for your message When will you send it? I'm just waiting for your message When will you send it? I'm just waiting for your message When will you send it? Can I be your one in a million? I'm just waiting for your message When will you send it? Can I be your one in a million? Can I be your one in a million? Can I be your one in a million? Can I? Can I? Can I be your one in a million? Can I be your one in a million?

Make Out 01:23
When I went to that party Just to get fucked up Never thought I'd see a face like yours You're the prettiest girl! And we were dancing in that room Only me and you Never thought I'd see a face like yours You're the prettiest girl in the world! I wanna see us making out, you're so fucking hot I wanna see us making out, you're so fucking hot I wanna see us making out in the park I wanna see us making out, making out now And we were sitting on the roof Only me and you You say I better not fall Too bad I fell for you, baby you I wanna see us making out, you're so fucking hot I wanna see us making out, you're so fucking hot I wanna see us making out in the park I wanna see us making out, making out now I wanna see us making out, you're so fucking hot I wanna see us making out, you're so fucking hot I wanna see us making out in the dark I wanna see us making out, making out now Making out, out, out, out, out

After All 02:00
If everyone is saying That I am not alone Why do I feel so lonely lately? If all of your told lies were completely true I still could not Be happy with you If summer's sun is able to dry out all the lakes Why can't it dry the tears That are pouring down my face? On the phone my voice's shaking Mindless you watched me breaking And then I wish I could tell that nothing's true I'm sorry for breaking your heart I'm sorry for this one time Hundred of times before it was you breaking mine I feel like I could cry A million tears- even more! One day on them I can sail to another shore You asked me: "Is it for ever?" And I said: "Yes, for sure!" But things are changing and I'm leaving you for more I'm sorry for breaking your heart I'm sorry for this one time Hundred of times before it was you breaking mine After all you're the reason why I believe in love After all and After all and After all and After all and After all you're the reason why I believe in love!

70s 02:23
100$ goes a long way when you’re hungry But if you’re needing a pick-me-up baby It goes down the drain If I was born 50 years ago I might have had a good job Maybe I’d have had a car If I was born in different time Maybe I’d be more fine Actually probably not Tell me something Dad Was it easier in the 70s Did you smoke a lot of hash for 6$ a pound? And I’m going to school And I’m paying for a degree but that don’t really mean a thing Yeah me and my friends We’re still saving our bottles For their 25 cents If I was born seventy years ago I’d already be married And I’d already have a kid But I’m so free now Im so fucking free now and yeah I really hate it Tell me something mom Was it easier in the 80s? Did your business degree pay for itself? Maybe I wanna go to school as well? Maybe I wanna buy a house? If only I could buy a car Maybe I wouldn’t be here now

Don't 02:42
Wait, wait right here so I can run away Take it all in, you’ve never seen me Fall apart like this You make it all about you But I told you that I’m leaving Before it hurts you too And they’re all coming down now Every brick that we hung on the wall They’re all coming out now Don’t, don’t say that it was easy (don’t, don’t) Don’t, don’t say that it don’t need be (don’t, don’t) Stop, I stopped in my tracks When the road was leading back home You used to say that you love me But then you got to know me And I don’t like who I’m becoming And I blame you for making me this way But really it’s been my own choice to stay Don’t, don’t say that it was easy (don’t, don’t) Don’t, don’t say that it don’t need be (don’t, don’t) Don’t say that it was easy baby You were always saying how it was less hard for me Don’t say that it was easy baby You were never seeing it the way that I did

Spent all of my money on a new guitar Now I can’t afford to pay my rent But I’m In A Band, I’m In A Band Feminism and a stage are more important Than a roof over my head, over my head I’m In A Band, I’m In A Band Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I’m in a band Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah a fucking band Chilling in the backstage with my band Blood stains all over my guitar strings I’m In A Band, I’m In A Band Tits out after the show, it’s not sexual My clothes are just so sweaty from the gig I’m In A Band, I’m In A Band Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I’m in a band Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah a fucking band

Mean 03:01
I make it hard to love me When I am cold and controlling Most people don’t even like me Im only lovely when I choose it I keep my shit to myself Don’t want it ruined by nobody else I am selfish, I am vain But you are boring you are plain Every now and then I do regret that I’m a little bitch And every now and then I do forget I can be pretty mean And every now and then I start a fight that didn’t have to be And every now and then you’re still in love with me I make it hard to love me I love to be by myself And when you come knocking at my door I won’t be anybody else I make it hard to love me But I can be lovely if you want me

Stay 03:42
This time it got me good I was looking for the benefit of the doubt When I found you That beer on the shelf I bought for us to drink I didn’t know then that it wouldn’t mean a thing Because you gave your love away Did you give it to the wind? I couldn’t make it stay, I couldn’t make it Stay, and should I be angry at the wind now I couldn’t make it stay Time left me behind And when we said goodbye, you turned to sand And from that I built myself a lonely island Maybe you can see me from your lonely tower Because you gave your love away Did you give to the waves? I couldn’t make it stay, I couldn’t make it Won’t you stay Because I cannot be angry at the sky now but then again the sky never poured down on me like you did And I couldn’t make you fall in love with me And you tried to make me believe It was all about me Some things are never meant to be But I’ll have this island to set me free This was never about me But I’ll have this island to set me free
10.
The Piss 03:14
Would you let me feel pretty Even if you weren’t ready Don’t you remember that you once wanted me all for you? You tried in the beginning Now I’m the one left giving You tried in the beginning You tried but weren’t winning And now I’m clutching my pillow wishing it was a body Waking up in a hot flash You don’t really wanna talk but you’re leaving And I keep asking why are you making it hard? Why are you making it harder than it is Why can’t you just get over yourself You day it doesn’t matter I don’t believe it And I’m not just getting over it In my own bed I’m covered In the hair of my lover But they’re not coming over And why would they bother And now I’m clutching my pillow wishing it was a body Waking up in a hot flash Because you said you never really wanna come back And you kept asking why am I making it hard? Why am I making it harder than it is? Why do I need to talk about it? And you were always taking the piss out of me And saying „get over it“

A sailboat that hasn’t left a harbor in twenty years I remember seeing it as a child And I was happy there before learned A boat with no wind is a sad story of waste It’s picturesque It’s pretty and it has no use And I forgot It’s just a painting of a life Thank god it’s not mine I tried living there in my mind and I saw them there All the friends I use to have Before I died only thinking of myself It’s just a painting of a boat But I know it’s true It pretty but it has no use And I forgot It’s just a painting of a life Thank god It’s not mine Watching paint dry

about

baby of the bunch Berlin, Germany

For more than 7 years baby of the bunch has been leaving a trail of glitter, beer and rainbows in the punk and underground clubs of Germany.

baby of the bunch call what they do "Riot! Wave!”. They see themselves in the tradition of the Riot Grrrls.
They balance an in-between of straight-forward punk music and intricate arrangements.
