Back in the day, when i was a teenager
Out on my own fall in love with strangers.
Oh no desire, what are you putting me through?
You look beautiful in 1992.
I'm watching, what do i want to be?
Baby, i'm in love with possibility.
Give me sex, and give me patience.
I can't wait, i can't wait. change the station.
I'm watching american television.
Back in the day waiting for a sign to move.
I got nothing to say, i got something to prove.
Oh me, oh my, teenagers get bored.
You look beautiful in 1994.
I'm dreaming, it's not a fantasy.
Baby, i'm in love with reality.
Give me joy, give me emotion.
I can't wait, i can't wait, change the program.
I'm watching american television.
Here we are, now we are the boulevard.
Dropped off our fear at the junkyard.
Oh man, we can turn it up load.
You look beautiful, right here, right now.
I'm still watching, what do i want to be?
Baby i'm in love with possibility.
Give me sex, indecision.
I'm watching american television.
I'm watching, what do i want to be?

I slipped into a house
To escape my enemies
And opened the door to another world
Of lovers and whores
But I loved you more
Than any of them and ever before
Look how close I've come
I'm far away
The universe is brought back
From the brink of destruction
Every time you smile
But I can see things clearer
It's all smoke and mirrors
Yeah you broke my fucking heart but I still want you
Look how close I've come
I'm far away
One can only guess
What would happen if
I got all my questions answered
Then we'd know for sure
Who's got the quickest draw
Who's laying dead and who's above the law
Look how close I've come

I took a breath of fresh air
I took in the view at the top
I took a lock of her golden hair
I took a look - it was gone
If living
Is giving
I'm ready
I'm willing
I took her heart cos she let me
I took a walk in the dark
I took some time to decide if it was right
I took a walk in the dark
If living
Is giving
I'm ready
I'm willing
I took a piece of the puzzle
I took a souvenier
I took both roads everywhere they went
Now something's gotta give

You cant fight, it's everywhere you hide
It's so strong, it's just where it belongs
For all time we're living in a lie
It's so strange, it's perfect in its way
And this isn't over, but I'm getting closer
I can't shake the feeling inside
And this isn't over, but I'm getting closer
I can't shake the feeling inside
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
It seeps in, it's underneath the skin
The world turns, but still you never learn
So hold still depression the way you feel
You're close to you're close to all that ??? you
And this isn't over, but I'm getting closer
I can't shake the feeling inside
And this isn't over, but I'm getting closer
I can't shake the feeling inside
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
And this isn't over, but I'm getting closer
I can't shake the feeling inside
And this isn't over, but I'm getting closer
I can't shake the feeling inside
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line

Without a gun I'd be defenceless against you
Without a doubt I'd lose everything I have
Last chance - something I'm trying to tell you
It's clear you're really not my friend
On and on while you're gone
On and on while you're gone
Someday rise and realise I'm fine
So strange not waking up by your side
On and on while you're gone
On and on while you're gone
Anywhere you have to go, any risk you have to take
Anything you need to know, any heart you have to break
If you hear me, come near me
This is your song
On and on while you're gone
Eight o'clock - watch the TV
Nine o'clock - I think I'm going to hell
Ten o'clock - Why'd you leave me
Eleven o'clock - I'm not doing so well
Anywhere you have to go, any risk you have to take
Anything you need to know, any heart you have to break
If you fear me, don't fear me
This is your song
On and on while you're gone

Light another cigarette
and maybe by the end of it
you'll have changed.
Make a mental note to self
to dig a deeper wishing-well
next year.
Still, you are the only thing I fear
You give me chills, you give me chills
Sentimental waking up
or sleeping in a coffee cup it seems.
You're so high, the sky's scared
and now you're in my nightmares
and my dreams.
Still, you are the only thing I need
You give me chills, you give me chills
You give me chills, then you leave me cold
Still, you are the only thing I feel
You give me chills, you give me chills
You give me chills, then you leave me:
You give me chills, you give me chills
You give me chills, then you leave me cold

Coming out of Sydney
Country music playing
Cursing all of them who stayed
In the city
I own this city
Get drunker than a poet who just got paid
And I'm finally hoping
That I'll be torn open
So that every word I say is true
The words I'm shouting
While I work it out
In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through
You have to ship my body home
Ship my body home
All I ever wanted was to finish what I started
But there's no way I could do it on my own
You have to ship my body home
Driving through the mountains
Cutting through the night time
Stopping now and then to wonder why
I left the city
The quiet city
I killed its memory just to watch it die
And I'm finally hoping
That I'll be torn open
So that every word I say is true
The words you're hearing
While I make it clear
In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through
You have to ship my body home
Ship my body home
All I ever wanted was to finish what I started
But there's no way I could do it on my own
You have to ship my body
Ship my body
Ship my body
All I ever wanted was to finish what I started
So ship my body
All I ever wanted was to finish what I started
So ship my body
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted once I finished what I started

I've been looking for some kick
Looking for one trick
To get through the day
I've tried watching the time pass
Watching the hourglass
Do you ever get the feeling that you just don't want to play?
I'm finding it strange such
That people don't change much
'Til they're torn apart
Keep one eye on the object
And don't change the subject
Do you ever get the feeling that this is just the start?
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
I've been saved by
I've been saved by you
It's just another thing that I'm wanting
Time that I'm wondering
If I could bend
And I don't believe that things just repeat
Do you ever get the feeling that history must end?
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
I've been saved by
I've been saved by you
And dearly departed
You leave a city broken-hearted
Or you were never never really there
And dearly departed
You leave a city broken-hearted
Or you were never never really there
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
I've been saved by

It's sad and spent
Feel the motion again
Stop and pause
Then move some more
Still surprise you when it shatters
But nothing matters
Still surprise you when it shatters
Don't you know that nothing happens
But a lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
Choose a town
Find a girl to follow around
Stay on track
And just sit back
Still surprise you when it shatters
But nothing matters
Still surprise you when it shattered
Don't you know that nothing happens
But a lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
But a lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on

Today a boy outgrew his town
They say his sadness was his sign
It used to happen every day or so they say
He's gonna take it all this time
And everybody feels it
And everybody knows
There are those that have the flame
And then there's those that just want to get close
Today a boy became a man
'Cause he prepared himself to fail
He escaped one night
Just trying to save his life
I am the hero of this tale
And everybody has seen it
And everybody knows
There are those that have the flame
And then there's those that just want to get close
Please take off your clothes
Give me your hand
Please sleep in my bed
Please understand
I'm gonna lay down the law
'Cause everybody feels it
And everybody knows
There are those that have the flame
And then there's those that just want to get close
Closer to God
Closer for sure
Close your eyes
And watch me become more
Become more
Become more

Hey there I said it
I'm in love
With you
There's an ocean between us
Just like me
Deep and blue
And I, at times have had nothing
But tonight I want nothing but you
You're the only thing I want
The only thing I want
The only thing on my mind
All the time
Staying up 'til dawn won't take its toll
'Til we get old
And drinking is just the way
We keep away the cold
And you, you know what it means
To be true and searching like me
You're the only thing I need
The only thing I need
The only thing on my mind
All the time
And you gave me a reason
To give you my soul
I'll give you it all
You're the only one I want
The only one I need
The only one on my mind
All the time
All the time
All the time

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
We used to be the best of friends
I wrote a song for you
You'd call me for no reason
Talk about TV and food
We used to be the best of friends
You read my horoscope, you said
I wasn't anal enough to be a Virgo
I said that's what I hoped
I admitted I was scared to you
I said I couldn't sleep
I told my jokes and they were bad
You laughed to humour me
We used to be the best of friends
We flirted but no more
Sometimes we'd drop each other hints
That we would both ignore
But now we're not the best of friends
We said we'd always be
There was a night I should've kissed you
That blame belongs to me
'Cos you got a boyfriend, got a life
I guess he took my place
I started speaking to you less and less
Till you were just another face
But sometimes our eyes meet
Sometimes we look around
Then one of us will look away
I usually look down
The other night I was hanging out
Red eyes, wet hair
I looked across the circle
And you were sitting there
The moment lasted forever
The reefer round this time
I took the hit and passed it on
Inside I nearly cried
When I think about the friends I've had
Forgotten faces in a crowd
The many times I've bared my soul
I've grown this old, I've cried out loud
I looked at you, you sat in shock
I looked at you, you sat in shock
My drifting nature has got to stop

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
Michael J. Fox was a household name
In 1985
And what about young Mallory
And all of the Family Ties?
I hear they all robbed liquor stores
And are in jail now for life
Kirk Cameron had Growing Pains
Sex symbol of the year
Problem solved so squeaky clean
In half an hour clear
I hear he's been washing dishes
For the last couple of years
Laughter tracks and '80s stars
Predictable jokes
I don't have to tell you what happened
To the kids from Diff'rent Strokes
Punky Brewster's 15 minutes
Lasted for years before it got old
You're never quite so cute
And I should know
Once puberty takes its toll
And no one knows their whereabouts
What they do or what they did
Chew 'em up and spit 'em out
Like all of the Cosby kids
It's the toughest game and the hardest time
It's the longest walk on the thinnest line
Its sad and true that they love then kill
Where do they go when they die?
To the big '80s sitcom in the sky
Michael J Fox was a household name

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
If you were here I'd slap you senseless
Then I'd ask you where you've been
I'd tell you don't you know I worry
Sitting up each night in fear
And then I'd tell you that I'm angry
And I'd say you did me wrong
And that I hate you 'cos you sneak into
My every single song
If you were here you'd see the damage done
And then you'd feel the shame
I'd make you understand my pain
If you were 'round I'd show you wounds and scars
The proof that you were here
And then I'd make you cry like I did
If my point still was not clear
If you were here I'd scream and
Maybe trash the room if I had time
And then one single word would break your spirit
Just the same as you broke mine
If you were here you'd realize what you did
Stay for a million years
I'd make you cry my tears
But you're not here
And I'm not strong
And this whole thing has gone on too long
I need to leave this on my shelf
But instead I say it to myself
If you were here I'd slap you senseless

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
Just 18 I've seen the world
Done more than some their whole lives unfold
Still at school just saving face
But a month today I'll be leaving this place
I've lived a million lives so far
But I'm still naive and a broken heart
I feel like I've heard it all before
With a whole life ahead to hear a whole lot more
You wouldn't believe half the things I've seen
Way too much for just 18
I've written songs about them all so far
And played them all on an acoustic guitar
Life is good, it's been alright to me
I've recorded my heart on a couple LPs
It all comes down to the same old thing
Trying to find someone to share it with
I'm lost, I know that the world is weird
I'm swimming in waters that I used to fear
Crazy things have made me kind of tough
Sometimes I think that I've seen too much
Just 18 I've seen the world
Done more than some their whole lives unfold
Still at school just saving face
But a month today I'll be leaving this place

Eight years old
I was in love with a girl
Eight years old
My only love meant the world
We'd hang out
Play catch and kiss at lunch time
I was young she was something to call mine
I'd be lying if I said I was not
Devastated and broken when she
Opened my hand slid hers in
Then walked away
It was bad
The only eight year old kid suicidal
In the school
Convinced I was down to survival
Melodramatic in my usual way
I was sure that the whole world would end
When the girl left that day
And it did
Seventeen years old
Riding home on the bus
Seventeen
Looking for someone to trust
The seat next to me
Sits down a girl I once loved
She looks at me
And then I remember her touch
She smiles
Then touches my knee
All of the sudden I'm eight years old not seventeen
Again
Here's this girl
I was in love, I was eight
Almost a decade later
A decade too late
So she smiles
Asks me ";so how you been?";
Then gives me her number to go out sometime this weekend
My head is spinning it's all too surreal
Deja vu doesn't begin to describe how I feel
So I laugh
There's nothing to say
Maybe everything in my life's gonna end up this way

[from Grandpaw Would]
I pretend I'm mellow
So you don't think I'm hurt
I'm just a real sad fellow
Pretends he's so down to earth
And I might get a kiss
If I play my cards right
Don't care if I've missed
The whole goddamn point
Just pull myself together in the way
That you'd want me to
You're so mellow
You can't see I'm in pain
My knees turn to jello
And my eyes start to rain
And I might not get dissed
If I play my cards right
Don't care if I've missed
The whole goddamn point
Try to be nice in the way
That you'd want me to
And I wear my shirt like I'm not affected
I'll eat my lunch like I still haven't checked yet
I'll try to be cool and if that doesn't work at all

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
I'll buy a pair of jeans
A stylish means
A groovy masterpiece
I'll cover them with paper men
And books on zen
Records shot with darts
Talk your way out of this one - blah, blah, blah...
I wrote a song for you (x 2)
I'll sleep till after three
I'll brush my teeth
I'll wash my feet
I don't feel well
You couldn't tell
I look like hell
Records shot with darts
Talk your way out of this one - blah, blah, blah...

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
I'm out on a limb
I'm trying to climb
I'm feeling unsure
Every little thing
If you give it time
Is destined to change you
Why can't I take back my past if I wanna
Why can't I lose half my life if I wanna
She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way
She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way
The slippery tongue
I wrap 'round the words
The web that I've spun
Put a stumbling block
In front of the blind
I made you feel dumb
Who says this fruit's gonna last forever
Who says I'm wearing these shoes forever
She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way
She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way
Locker room dialogue boils the fat
To forget you're a kid feels much better than that
Locker room dialogue boils the fat

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
Things seemed so nice for the first few weeks
Didn't care - she didn't notice me
Then I asked her does she wanna hang out
Get something to eat
She said I'm just another guy with high hopes
A real sorry sight
I'm also half her height
I'm just another guy in the crowd
She laughed at me
I died
I wrote her a song, took me a real long time
To get everything to rhyme
Read in a magazine girls like it best
When you're honest with them
She said the song sucked big time
I'm a talentless clown
She doesn't want me around
She said the final goodbye
A punch in my eye

[from Grandpaw Would]
Well you're real pretty
And you act like a cross between you know what I mean
It's a real pity
Cause you try to be mean, but you just can't fake it with me
You love the Pixies
You're the ultimate Pop Queen you know what I mean
Yeah my girl is a true dream
And I'm not gonna hate you if you're not gonna hate me
You're my Pop Queen
Well, you're not that lazy
And you know how to act when you're with the upper class
My dreams of you are hazy
As we lie on the grass and we talk about daydreams
You're so unconceited
Yeah you couldn't be slack if I paid you the shirt off my back

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
Well I know it's real uncool to say
You don't need an amp to blow me away
Don't need to turn up, plug in, or go very far
Just strum a chord on my guitar
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
Well I can take my guitar to the beach
And strum out a pop masterpiece
I work out my favourite songs
I can do it myself or play along
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
And I don't know what would happen
If I lost my guitar
I'd never find another one
Like the last one I adored
It's my guitar
And I guess that when shove comes to push
An acoustic guitar doesn't mean you're a wuss
And when I'm sick of hearing noise
I sit right down with one 'my favorite toys
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me

I can't live without your breath
You are all that I adore
I'd say if you were the sun, I'd be the rays
But I don't think that's a suitable metaphor me
How can that be?
I don't know much but I know what I'm talkin' 'bout
I don't care about them anymore
I'd say if you were a kitty, I'd be the litter
But I don't think that's a suitable metaphor me
How can that be?
Enough talk learn to be subtle
Better ways of leaving than slamming the door
I'd say if you were the room I'd be the window
But I don't think that's a suitable metaphor me

Would you resent me
If I said that I'd miss you
And would you hate me
If I wanted to kiss you
And would you love me
If I was stoic
And if I told you
Would you already know it
Well I'm coping better than before
But it's still hard to watch you leave
So don't leave me please
You're like a childhood fear
You're not changing
If I gave you a present
Would you try to exchange it
If I tried to please you
Would you make me feel awkward
If I went away
Would you make me move forward
Well if you decide to go
I'll wait For a year, a month, a week
So don't leave me please
And I'm coping better than before
But it's still hard to watch you leave

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
Well she talks like a bullet
And she looks like a goddess
Says she's a traveler
And she knows where she's going
Dresses like a model
Talks like a liar
She sounds like a bimbo
But she thinks like a scholar
*She's got me she's lost me
She's got me on my knees in awe
She took me she shook me
And now I want her all the more
Well I'm talking straight to her
And I know she's not listening
Why the hell do I find her
So damn impressive
She has a bad temper
She likes to have control
The fact I don't understand her
Fascinates me all the more

Woke up this morning
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together
I started smiling
Cos you were smiling
And were all in this together
I'm made of atoms
You're made of atoms
And were all in this together
And long division
Just doesn't matter
Cos were all in this together
I saw you walking
In the city
We're all in this together
The city's changing
Cos we are changing
And were all in this together
Every twelve seconds
Someone remembers
That were all in this together
In the kitchen
Of your rent-control apartment
We're all in this together
C'mon baby
I dont mean to rush you
I only wanted to reach out and touch you
I've gotta start to open my heart
I know you think
About jumping ship before it sinks
But were all in this together
Ask a scientist
It's quantum physics
We're all in this together
And on the subway
We feel like strangers
But were all in this together
Yeah I love you and you love her
And she loves him
But were all in this together
Y'know baby
There's never been protection
In all the history of human connection
C'mon darling
It's alright to show me
You don't ever need to be lonely
Once you start to open your heart
I saw you crying
I started crying
Cos were all in this together
And then religion
It's a big decision
But were all in this together

Are you changing?
Do you know it?
Do you feel it?
Do you know?
But you're waiting
While you're waiting
Why are you waiting?
Just do it - whatever it is
There are secrets
There are places
There are places you can go to
They might tell you
Yeah they'll tell you that you shouldn't
But do it - whatever it is
Go do it - whatever it is
Just do it - whatever it is
And you're dancing
And you're looking kinda crazy
And your arms are making little circles
There are reasons
There are reasons you can find out
So do it - whatever it is
Just do it - whatever it is
Go do it - whatever it is
Whatever it is
It's so quiet
And you're dreaming
I turn to you and say
"Awake is the new sleep"
So wake up
And do it - whatever it is
Just do it - whatever it is
Cos awake is the new sleep
Awake is the new sleep
So wake up
Wake up
And do it - whatever it is
Just do it - whatever it is
Go do it - whatever it is
Just do it - whatever it is

Well you're lookin' so compose as you're starin' down your nose at me, laughin' at the way that i dance
But i just keep on movin' while you're lookin' disapprovin'
I feel sad for you, you never take a chance
So let your feet start shuffling and let your hips swing.
I know your heart's as hungry as mine.
Close your eyes, look at me, open up your mind you'll see that we can share a moment, a moment in time
[Chorus]
Tell me what's so bad, about feeling good
Tell me what's so bad, about feeling good
Well it's not all analysis or mathematic pression
oh all the simple things in life are not small
and all your daily drama and the politics of pleasure
well they really do not matter much at all
so let your words start spilling out against your will
and let your love minlge with mine
close your eyes, look at me, open up your heart you'll see that we can share a moment, a moment in time
[Chorus4x]
Tell me what's so bad, about feeling good
Tell me what's so bad, about feeling good
No guilt. All Pleasure. C'mon I wanna hear you yell it now
No guilt. All Pleasure. C'mon everybody yell it now
No guilt. All Pleasure. I wanna hear you yell it baby
No guilt. All Pleasure. C'mon everybody...Tell me what's so bad, about feeling good
Tell me what's so bad about feeling good.
Tell me what's so bad, about feeling good
Tell me what's so bad, about feeling good

In my dreams they're coming to collect
I've got something that they want
And I don't know what it is
But you hid it in my luggage
Like a needle in a haystack
So I'm running like a criminal
I'm sneaking round each corner
In a phone booth, through a window
And the air is cold around me
And I'm running for my life
Borrow, beg or steal
Everything is real
One day you might feel
Alright again
So I kissed you on the lips
You were sleeping
Like a racehorse in the evening
All that power, motivation
And the endless broken omens
And I don't know if I love you
But I really wanna own you
And I've kept you like a secret
From the moment that I found you
We can make a deal
Everything is real
One day I might feel
Alright again
And I can write my way
Out of this pain
That's a promise that you made me
In a letter that you sent me
From Chicago on a freezing day in winter
Bow I feel a little lighter
But it really doesn't matter
Cos this love is not obedient
It's got its own agenda
And it wants to take me over
And it wants to pull you under
And it would like nothing better
Than to tear us both to pieces
And it wont do what its told
Show me how you feel
Everything is real
One day it'll be
Alright again
One day it'll be

The moon sheds light across the end of the bed.
You made me wait but now i'm touching your leg.
And i remember all the little things you said,
"quesadillas, made with cheese" and "a rock band who went japanese."
So for once in my life, i saw what i wanted and took a bite.
I picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.
Your love got big, your drugs got worse each afternoon.
Like bacon at a bah mitzvah, like a lead balloon.
And who's to say what really happened in that room each day?
I was looking for a bride, you were looking for a groom.
So for once in your life, you saw what you wanted and you took a bite.
You picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.
And all you people are the heroes i'd known.
We're staring off the edge into the unknown.
We are not there yet but we cannot go home.
So we cry, and we sing.
Yeah, i remember everything.
For once in our lives, we saw what we wanted and took a bite.
We picked the fruit from the tree.

I've been thinking 'bout the straight and narrow
Slip sliding round the back of my hand
Keep turning and its almost tomorrow
I'll find a way to make you understand
There are no right angles in my life
No right angles in my life
Right now I'm hearing nothing but silence
High beams are on - I can feel you
Every piece contains a little bit of violence
And you've changed so much but its still you
No right angles in my life
No right angles in my life
So breathe
Feel the open space
Leave it all behind
Coming into grace
No right angles in my life
There are no right angles in my life
Suspicious minds and you're back on the warpath
All the things you think are up my sleeve
Though you tell me that I'm just like a circle
Somehow you still don't believe
There are no right angles in my life
There are no right angles in my life
So dream
Let your body play
Anyone in need
Give it all away
No right angles in my life
There are no right angles in my life
I've been thinking 'bout the straight and narrow
Slip sliding round the back of my hand
Keep turning and its almost tomorrow
Find a way to make you understand
Please
Taste the sea you sail
Baby I believe
There's no way you can fail
No right angles in my life
There are no right angles in my life

I feel you in the sidetrack
I'm reaching out for contact
To keep you on my mind
And are you close to breaking?
I'm sorry if you're aching
But I don't wanna hide
I feel you somewhere downtown
I hear you in the low sounds
I bleed until I'm cut
And I'm still thinking of you
I promise I can love you
If you can keep it up
Run if you want me, you're moving too slow
Run if you want me, whoa
Run if you want me, you're moving too slow
Run if you want me, whoa
The secret that I'm keeping
The moment that I'm reaching
The image on my mind
I feel you in the outback
I'm holding out for contact
But you're so far behind
Run if you want me, you're moving too slow
Run if you want me, whoa
Run if you want me, you're moving too slow
Run if you want me, whoa
Wake up, jumpstart. You're name across my heart
Someone dragged mine, until the finish line
Slow burn, U-turn. Still laugh at lesson learned
Fun, damage done. If you want me you gotta:
Run if you want me, you're moving too slow
Run if you want me, whoa
Run if you want me, you're moving too slow
Run if you want me, whoa
Run if you want me, you're moving too slow
Run if you want me, whoa
Run if you want me, you're moving too slow

Whats in your heart
Whats in your head
Its one of the other these days
The quick or the dead
Sometimes we gotta fight
So don't you complain
Cause I never promised this
Would be easy babe
You and me are gonna rise up
and they will be surprised, yep
And every things weird
But soon they'll be gone
Cause are whispered words
are louder then bombs
so don't you lose faith
say its no fun
cause we've come to far to stop
before we're done
You and me are gonna rise up
and they will be surprised, yep
You and me are gonna rise up
and they will be surprised, yep
(They will be)
Sometimes we get lost
But soon we'll be found
This is far to important
To turn back now
You and me are gonna rise up
and they will be surprised, yep
You and me are gonna rise up
and they will be surprised, yep
They will be surprised, yep
They will be surprised, yep
Cause we're gonna rise up

I'm in surgery
It's an emergency
It just occurred to me
Ironically I caught a disease
They take a piece of me
Enjoy the scenery
Counting back from ten but
I will never fall asleep
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
So let the music come
Let the music come
Let the music come
I'm writing pop songs
Done it for so long
Sometimes I dream about
A chorus that's so clever it's dumb
And now they're telling me
The music industry
You can stay if you behave
Be a good boy go to sleep
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
So let the music come
Let the music come
Let the music come
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
So let the music come
Let the music come
Let the music come
So if you're asking me
What you mean to me
This is a dream to me
A theme for me
I gotta believe
In what you're telling me
In what you're selling me
In what's compelling me to feel
The only reason I need
Here comes the drum beat
I'm moving my feet
The only reason I need
The only reason I need
And a guiter chord
I feel so sure
The only reason I need
The only reason I need
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
So let the music come
Let the music come
Let the music come
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
I refuse to go numb
So let the music come
Let the music come

Well thanks for coming to dinner
And yeah I'm glad we're friends
But honestly I'm not ready
For this evening to end
It's only 10 o'clock
And I don't feel much tired at all
When I get a taste of something
I always want some more
I'm tired of being alone
I want to take you home
You stole my heart
I should have known
I want to take you home
So how about a cup of coffee
Or we could get a snack
Or if you're heading uptown
Maybe we could share a cab
I don't wanna be rude
Don't mean to be obscene
It's just that I feel so much better
When you're next to me
I'm tired of being alone
I want to take you home
It started big
The feeling's grown
I want to take you home
And I could live without you
I could live without you
I could live without you
I just don't want to
I'm tired of being alone
I want to take you home
You stole my heart
I should have known
I want to take you home
I'm tired of being alone
I want to take you home
It started big
The feeling's grown

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
And he just drove off, sometimes life's okay
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh, what did I say
You laughed it off, it was all okay
And we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on alright already
We all float on okay
A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it to learn from sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
And we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on alright already
We all float on okay
We both got fired on exactly the same day
We'll float on good news is on the way
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands
Good news is on the way
And we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on okay
Yeah, we all float on now don't worry

There is no way to write it …there is no way to fight it
And I kick and scream but you got me despite it
And I got my pride so I begin to hide it
Like a fire in a free town you begin to lighten it..
Aha aha aha
Sidii hogasha roobka
Ah ah aha you shine down upon me
Aha aha aha Sidii hogasha roobka aha aha aha you shine down upon me
By some higher order you keep getting bolder…
By god or by country you kill like a soldier…
By some widdle you sung little but scream mighty stronger
Like fire in free town you old magic spoiler….
Repeat Chorus
You place bins in my ribs and ask me to lie down
My pain is your pleasure but pleasure is all mine
You lend me your false ear and I lend you my false lines
Like fire in free town I’m fueled by your gold mine
Repeat Chorus…
She pulled out her match and she burned down my home
Fire Fire
She know it to touch me to turn me to stone
Fire Fire
She come like a storm and she rained on my lawn
Fire Fire
She pulled out her match and she burned down my home
Fire Fire
She come like a storm and she rained on my lawn
Fire Fire
She know it to touch me she know it I know
Fire Fire
She come like a storm and she rained on my lawn
Fire Fire

Lovin' you makes me wanna spill my heart and soul.
Lovin' you makes me wanna tell you things you've never been told.
Lovin' you makes me wanna write bad poetry.
Loving you makes me wanna waste my time,
So tell me, what's it gonna take to change your mind?
(Lovin' you) How much bad poetry?
And I love you so much, please don't show anyone this stuff
It's between you and me, this bad poetry.
Lovin' you, maybe baby.
Lovin' you, by the phone alone.
Lovin' you, please I'm on my knees,
And that's bad poetry.

Lovin' you, makes me wanna write bad poetry.
And I love you so much, please don't show anyone this stuff
It's between you and me, this bad poetry.
And I love you so much, please don't show anyone this stuff.
While search for a rhyme, 'cause I'm running out of time.
It's between you and me, this bad poetry.
This bad poetry.
Oh, this bad poetry.

love pop music, this is how we do it
It’s politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to
The price of oil is at an all time high and rising (yeah)
Global warming threatens life as we know it on this planet (ohh ooh)
And leaders have not committed to a plan of action on renewable
energy
The food crisis is currently affecting a hundred million people world
wide
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It’s politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you’re all alone
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you’re all alone
There are over 6 billion people on this planet and not enough fresh
drinking water (we’re in trouble)
Religious intolerance creating geopolitical instability (shine a light)
Politicians battling each other like professional wrestlers (ooh)
Further division is not the answer, division is not the answer
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It’s politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you’re all alone

Greed and fear seem to be the driving forces of modern life
We’re encouraged to consume and consume with no thought of where
it all comes from, and where it all goes
Our lives are accelerating as we fall out of touch with nature and
ancient myth
We’re desperately in need of a brand new dream
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It’s politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It’s politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to
(Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you’re all alone

Yeah
It's the only way that I want it - Inside
Yeah
Don't you want me to want it - Oh no
Yeah
And other things I consider
You know you'll never forgive me
'Cause a dream is a weapon
And I think about you everyday
So come for the danger, stay for the strange
But I'm never going to give it away
You'll never clean my dirty mind
You'll never clean my dirty mind
All right
Yeah
And I don't need protecting
From the way I'm connecting
Yeah
'Cause it's never as good
IF you do as you should
Yeah
You've gotta let yourself dream it
You've gotta let yourself mean it
'Cause a dream is a weapon, and I think about you everyday
So come for the danger, stay for the strange
But I'm never going to give it away
You'll never clean my dirty mind
You'll never clean my dirty mind
All right
'Cause a dream is a weapon
And I think about you everyday
So come for the danger, stay for the strange
But I'm never going to give it away
You'll never clean my dirty mind
You'll never clean my dirty mind

i was a boy with a barbie when they teased me it was hard
just a boy with a barbie from the start
don't think it meant to break my heart
i was a boy with a barbie this is beautiful and true
i had a crush on every girl i saw they never knew
i've never told a single soul but you
chorus
boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies
we don't have to play by their rules
i don't know where it started, all these roles and make believe
just a boy with a totem make believe
now it seems naive, i kept my heart upon my sleeve
i was a boy with a barbie and the teachers looked concerned
although they tried to stop me getting burned
i guess they didn't realize it would hurt
chorus
boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies
we don't have to play by their rules
boys being prudes while the girls make thier moves
we don't have to play by their rules
so let them wear that dress, let them make that mess
let em take that fall, let em kick that ball
and thank to the ones that tried to stop my fun
you made me what i am, you made me what i am
you made me a man
chorus
boys with their barbies and girls with toy armies
we don't have to play by their rules
boys staying home while their girls on the run
we don't have to play by their rules

Find the fine line between the good times
And hide ‘em behind the locked door
I got nothing to say about puberty
That you haven’t heard before
Brutal truths, the troubled youths
And boys, I’ll take a chance
Spin the bottle, truth or dare
They’re just trying to get in your pants
Blue denim, come on gimme danger
Blue denim, baby, break it in
Blue denim, girl you’re a teenager
Blue denim, feel it on your skin
Darkness creeping ‘round the corner
And I might just creep too
At your feet with your new power
We’re all thinking about you
If you want a new sensation
And got something to prove
Teenage screams for your blue jeans
Make up and perfume
Blue denim, come on gimme danger
Blue denim, baby, break it in
Blue denim, girl you’re a teenager
Blue denim, feel it on your skin (3x)
Blue denim, blue denim, said blue….
Who can say….what it all means….find the answer…..from your new
jeans
Blue denim, come on gimme danger
Blue denim, baby, break it in
Blue denim, girl you’re a teenager
Blue denim, feel it on your skin (4x)

I'm ten feet tall today
I'm higher than a kite
I sidle up beside
Awake for five days and five nights
I've got a glow today
For everyone I know
It hurts to watch me glow
I'm blind so watch me grow
I hit the ground and I'm downtown
The street's alive there's people 'round
Wonder how I did it all before
You know, I've walked away from more...
I'm ten feet tall today
And no one can explain
And no one can obtain
And I will buckle under strain
I hit the ground and I'm downtown
The street's alive there's people 'round
Wonderin' how I did it all before
You know, I've walked away from more than this
I've walked away from more than this
Away from more
I'm ten feet tall today

and Tractor Association - we need to know some
information about caps, ah, baseball caps the number
is [blah blah] Thank you,

We're in trouble,
in a mess I've got a feeling
that only you can stop it
cos it's over if we say so
They still don't get it
that it's not an easy job
to be the one who says yes
when the whole world only says no
Will they ever believe this is only a dream
When will they scream
Yoko Ono
Break me open
Tell me which way
do we go now
Yoko Ono
I've been hoping
to change this world
before it's over
We're all choking on the fog and war
Help us, we adore you
Ohh, Yoko Ono
Ohh, Yoko Ono
They're still reeling
from the fact you keep stealing
their alpha male rock star
it was mine that opened his heart
And in that moment he could fly
and his music was a jet
and you were the reason
cos you made every (thought?)
When will they realise that he only wanted to cry
When will they cry
Yoko Ono
Break me open
Tell me which way
do we go now
Yoko Ono
I've been hoping
to change this world
before it's over
We're all choking on the fog and war
Help us, we adore you
Ohh, Yoko Ono
Ohh, Yoko Ono
Teach us how to cry
Teach us how to dream
Teach us how to die
Teach us how to scream
Teach us how to f*ck
Teach us how to pray
Teach us how to be
Man teach us!
Yoko Ono
Break me open
Tell me which way
do we go now
Yoko Ono
I've been hoping
to change this world
before it's over
We're all choking on the fog and war
Sorry if we hurt you
We're reaching out for something more
Help us, we adore you
Ohh, Yoko Ono
Ohh, Yoko Ono
Ohh, Yoko Ono

I want to look sharp
Be strong, refuse when I know it's wrong.
I want you to know my name
I want the hottest chick in the game
I want a big heart
And I want a big car
I want to be a self-made man
I want to know the things that he understands
What does he do when he's lost and confused?
What would Jay-Z do?
When i'm feeling blue
What would Jay-Z do?
I want to pay my dues,
A better life I want to choose
I want to seize the day,
Vacation in Saint-Tropez
I want to grow through the pain
I want to change the game
But it's times like these when life brings me to my knees
What does he do when it's hard to get through?
What would Jay-Z do?
I'm talking to you
What would Jay-Z do?
Cause you are you
And I am not
So come on, show me what you got
You are you
And I am not
So come on, show me what you got
What would Jay-Z do?
What would Jay-Z do?
What would Jay-Z do?
I'm talking to you

I'm feeling tornados
Blood drips off the town now
Blood drips off the town now
I'm watching the wind change
Blood drips off the town now
Blood drips off the town now
My mouth is dry
I've had better luck
My eyes are blind
But soon I'll straighten up
Soon I'll straighten up
I left for a while
Blood drips on the floor now
Blood drips on the floor now
I'm looking for ghosts here
Blood drips on the floor now
Blood drips on the floor now
My mouth is dry
My joints are stuck
My eyes are blind
But soon I'll straighten up
Soon I'll straighten up
But soon I'll straighten up
My mouth is dry
Ive had better luck
My eyes are blind
But soon I'll straighten up
Soon I'll straighten up
And I feel it ending
Blood drains from my face now
Blood drains from my face now
And you keep my heart pure
You keep my heart pure

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
Copping the sound, the sound cops me
I've got nothing to lose
My hair's in the breeze
I don't hate you, just your jealousy
So if you're ready to procrastinate
I'll be your friend, you'll eat me up
We boast the widest range in town
I'll be your friend, you'll show me how
Alarm clock is off, I'm trying to sleep
Smelling of Bondi beach
And the street, filthy as it may be
Is still my street, so don't challenge me
Some things don't change, for instance me
I'll sail your third defeat today
In every way, you'll lose again
But I don't care, I don't care
The wind's in my hair, the hair's in my breeze
I'm waiting to sneeze, I'm waiting to sneeze
The hair's in my breeze
Well I don't care, I don't care
The wind's in my hair, the hair's in my breeze
I'm waiting to sneeze, I'm trying to sneeze

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
I don't need you 'round here
I wash my hair
Of all your pain
It's not enough
That you think you're tough
And all that girl stuff
Don't feel sorry for yourself
No one else does
Smash your radio and your stereo
And you're feeling blue
What to do?
As if I could care
As if I could care
You're never home much anymore
You want me waiting at the door
To kiss you as you walk on through
I've waited far too long for you
And I'm not waiting anymore
My day doesn't revolve around waiting for you
You think I've got nothing to do
Just kiss you as you walk on through
I've waited far too long for you
And I'm not waiting anymore

This is the first day of the future,
And all i want is you.
I wear a pair of socks you left here.
But i know, i know, i know, nobody could ever fill your shoes.
I can see so clearly when your smoke gets in my eyes.
Please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies.
Baby can you hear the message i am sending?
Love me like the world is ending.
This is the last day of existence.
And all i want is you.
There's a certain sadness.
But i know, i know, i know, the sky is what makes the ocean blue.
I can see so clearly when your smoke gets in me.
Please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies.
Baby can you hear the message i am sending?
Love me like the world is ending.
And they all say to pour it has to rain
So don't complain if we get wet in the deep end.
I can see when your smoke gets in my eyes.
Please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies.
Baby, can you hear the message i am sending?
