a. What's up inside your head? Let me feel the fire Words stuck around your neck Swimming underwater Just too much, had enough Still I feel so empty, empty Can't get up, get enough Everyone's a liar, BURNING! b. Who is your enemy? The one that you set free! I'm trying so hard Just trying so hard now c. Is it just me or am I right? Is there anything that's gonna make you feel all right? Is there really anything? Is there really anything? HWARRGH!

a. I don’t see the need to classify her I’ve decided that she is everything I need There really is no need to classify her I’ll never hurt her ‘cause she can be so good to me b. Wait and see, I’ll wait and see Till she sends for me, sends for me Oh honey, when you send for me, I’ll be there for you Anywhere, circling square c. I don’t see the need to complicate Her thoughts and actions and deeds I love her the way she is I love to see her smile She’s so lovely Even when I’m bleeding, I dream I’ll satisfy her needs d. Things that make me smile When I’m alone and she’s alone with me It makes me smile When I’m alone and she’s alone with me

a. He was the boy from Katong Magical Marine Parade I want to sing you this song Disappearing in a fade b. I’m not the girl from Katong Magical Marine Parade I want to sing you this song Disappearing in a fade c. He caught me looking at him From the corner of his eye Over me, over you He said, “Run over you, over me.” d. And in a blinding flash, we ended in a crash I got him to his feet and then he smiled at me
5.
a. Why I can’t stay; she said, “No.” Why I can’t leave; my heart breaks b. It’s no secret why she’s gone There’s no reason to stay It’s no secret why she’s gone There’s no reason to live c. Maybe it’s time for goodbyes Maybe it’s not meant to be d. I’ve never had the chance or the time with you Never had the chance for someone like you
6.
a. We go many places tilting favoured sky Silence, blushes faded in a little while How in quiet moments you are juggling smiles Cigarette smoke beckons; momentum’s swinging care b. Weary moonbeams splicing disjointed happy thoughts Your laugh is locked in drawers and vocal chords are drowned I am standstill, smiling, reeking muted tunes All our stencils quiver; maps distorted skies c. Let’s please make no mistakes You breathe and lift life up in me A tree, we’ll sit and branch our minds away in whitest streaks of green Please make me recall a place we’ve once built And lived in a shoebox cluttered with furniture And mismatched curtain shades Park your heart inside with me and place those coupons Leave the keys and a note away with thee Don’t forget me please… d. I’ve forgotten beauty rinsing in the dark An occasional whisper carves the stars in place Place us many places scenic or grotesque Living by the ocean, perfect or misplaced

a. If she got it going, Oh! If she’s got nothing, Oh! If she got it going, Oh! I’ve got something in my mind Ooh baby, she’s what I’ve got b. If she got it going, Oh! If she’s got nothing I can’t find If she got something you can do I’ve got something in my mind Ooh baby, she’s what I’ve got
9.
a. We're so young Have we got time? We're so young Have we got some more time? b. Radio station forgot to play Your favorite song on a lovely day The boy lost his patience, don't wanna stay He got himself a gun to kill everyone c. Advertising billboard says everything is cool My girlfriend swears to be too It’s so damn easy to dance to the TV Don't get crazy; it’s only a disease d. Radio station forgot to play My favorite song on this lovely day I lost my patience and don't wanna stay I got myself a gun to kill everyone
10.
a. Welcome into this place I call my heart, I call my home and Just take a seat, kick your shoes off; relax, enjoy the show It feels so good; it feels so nice when someone's standing there around Watching everything you do, everything you do b. It feels so good; it feels so nice when there is someone there just Watching over you and everything you do It feels so good; it feels so nice when someone's listening to everything you say Everything you say c. And now you've come around to me to see my plain sunset Thank you for coming here to me to see my plain sunset

a. What ‘bout time we chase in a fast-pace race I see time to grace a moment in a place So to speak, a week now feels more like a day I can’t seems to beat time when it’s even round the way Could it be like a pendulum where it swings in two motions? Let me move the seven oceans smooth like lotion On the earth’s two sides, keeping time out of sight So the day will be dark and the night will be bright But in reality we just existed in an existence All babies are to born with the heartbeat as a rhythm Some see time as a change while others to complain Time is waiting game to check you up in sane and patience Is the key to your destiny Living a fast life without time is an ecstasy I know, it seems, time waits for no man The only way to beat time is to keep it at your own hands b. It’s about time that I speak up my own mind Time for co-sign if the blind leads the blind Well everybody’s crazy since time equals money Money is the time to make darker days sunny Time is an action that answers some questions Time is a silent bomb that silence reflections Looking at time passing to another dimension Evaluating time to start a redemption c. Ko Flow with the cuts, now that’s time!!! Lard Bros on the beat, now that’s time!!! Xarin keep it on point, now that’s time!!! Now that’s time, now that’s time, now that’s time!!! d. That we wish you never left Wish you never took the easy way out
13.
a. Red or white, right or wrong You’re falling down like you said you would Learn to fight, learn to die Learn to breathe but you said you’ll survive b. All paths lead to you c. We don’t get news from the rain no more We get signs that we can’t comprehend Bless us with rain Let it wet our souls d. I lost it in the wind: your every spoken word I memorise the sound of everything I’ve heard Come and take my hand

about

The Lard Brothers are a hip-hop-based side project made up of Bob Seng and Bob Tan. Amidst recording an album for their defunct main band, The Love Experiment, they decided to embark on a Mark Ronson-esque project by revamping and recording popular and their favourite Singaporean indie tunes.

Joined recently by another overweight comrade, Bob Tang, they invited their friends to guest on the album, lending their vocal talents and instrumental prowess. Each cover is a re-imagination of the original tune, embarking on a vastly different path from its original.

The album is released online via Aging Youth Records and can be downloaded for free from National Day, Saturday 9 August 2008 onwards. Forest Action Team is produced and recorded at the Love Studios by The Lard Brothers.
