Feel the vibe,
Feel the terror,
Feel the pain,
It's driving me insane.
I can't fake,
For God's sake why am I driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name.
But in the end I'm not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you

Mad about you,
Mad

Are you the fishy wine that will give me a headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine that explode without a decent warning.
Give me all your true hate and I'll  translate it in our bed,
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you

Mad about you,
Mad

Trouble is your middle name.
But at the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so  mad about you

Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you

Give me all your true hate and I'll  translate it in our bed,
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you

Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you

Hooverphonic

Hooverphonic are a Belgian rock/pop group, formed in 1995. Though early on categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be described as a lone genre, but rather encompass alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and mixture of others. The band originally called themselves Hoover, but later changed their name to Hooverphonic after discovering other groups were already using the Hoover name and to avoid any legal issues with the vacuum cleaner company. more »
