Verse 1:
Once I thought I was more right than wrong,
Painting myself in the corner.
What I bought and why it takes so long,
Something inside of her warned her.
Chorus:
I know that it doesn't matter much
But I hope we'll, keep in touch.
I know that we won't go on as such
But I hope we'll, keep in touch.
Could it be that hard,
To send you a postcard?
Verse 2:
Fragile smile, a ragged sleeve,
Didn't laugh once to often. (pause)
Before a while, it takes to grieve,
Try to repair what I've done.
Chorus
You laugh across the kitchen,
At something in a magazine.
I frown across the table,
So blunt, I'm never seen.
Your hair falls in your eyes as you ask
";What do you mean?";
Verse 3:
See yourself never satisfied,
In the clothes that you try now.
I swore myself, I said I'd never cry.
Close to saying goodbye now.
Last Chorus:
I know that it doesn't matter much
But I'm hoping to keep in touch.
I know that we won't go on as such
But I'm hoping to keep in touch.
Could it be that hard,
To send me a postcard?
And it's so good to hear him whispering his wishes inside you.
Play along, there is no wrong,
you've got to let him guide you.
You're the first sweet little girl to have this love of mine.
Forever with me till the end of time.
Time!
Wake up baby to the fact that you're poor soul's unclever.
Change your mind give me your life,
and you can live forever.
Play along, there is no wrong,
you've got to let him guide you.
It's so good to feel him whispering his wishes inside you.
Inside you!
I got to protect it,
I got to keep it in my soul.
I got to protect it,
I must believe it,
it's my code.
I got to protect it,
I got to keep it in my soul.
I got to protect it,
I must believe it, it's my code.
(spoken):
And then I went to the end of it, and the old man, well, he's ready to die.
And he said, ";Well, Tom, sincerity's the best gimmick. Remember that.";
And I say, ";All right, be sincere, that'll win it?"; He said, ";That's it.
Sincerity and honesty,"; he said, ";will do it. It'll trick 'em every time.";
I said, ";Well, sincerity and honesty; I never tried that.";
I like to pick things up and drop them down again
I like to go nowhere tell no one where I've been
I dig laughing in your face and telling what I've seen
Hurting myself and being mean
I like to
It's a bitch to be simple
It's a bitch to be free
It's a bitch to come down where you ought to be
Came to the end,
Once again,
Start over now.
Just can't win.
Do it all again.
Go ahead, defy your better judgement.
Slide right to the bottom,
Climb back up again.
Came to the end,
Once again,
Start over now.
Just can't win.
Boy the way Glen Miller played
songs that made the hit parade
guys like us we had it made
those were the days
this could be habitual
this could be a ritual
grown up learned to take it slow
don't ever go, don't ever go
those were the days
burning down a blaze
downtown stays
don't ever go
I'm lost and the see-through
Pane always needs a bath
Between a want and a need to
Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path
My country was of thee
Now why'd you have to leave
How'd this come to have to pass
Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path
Mark my path
Lover don't turn your head.
Just let me walk away.
I thought I might have to say,
you're asking the wrong guy.
She wonders how.
Thinks she knows now.
She'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. Great big no.
Great big no. Great big no.
Is nothing okay with you.
Is nothing okay with me.
Is anything happening to have to go to sea.
He wonders why. The indigo guy,
He'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. Great big no.
Great big no. Great big no.
Everyone knows everything
Everyone knows everything
Nobody, nobody has got no one to go to.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Whoah (Lover don't turn your head.)
Lover don't turn your head.
No. (Lover don't turn your head.)
Is nothing okay with you?
It's no trick to decide on your own
you feel it when you feel fine later on
a shower you can't depend on at all
It's too hot then it's too cold then it's warm
something's missing something's missing
something's missing something's missing
from my life
the things I don't multiply and divide when
I just can't decide been here before
It's gonna come back again been here before
It's gonna come back my friend
something's missing something's missing
something's missing something's missing
from my life
I ain't quiet deep inside I ain't even on my side
something's missing from my life
there's nowhere I really wanted to stay and
nothing really makes it ok
nothing really makes it ok
there's nowhere I really wanted to stay
something's missing something's missing
Beein livin' with your shit too long
You know it gotta end
yell to me sing your song
You know its gotta end
You just been around too long to still be my friend
Try and talk it out with you
Lets not pretend
Now's the time
Today's the day to show you what I fail to say
I gotta stick
I got some friends
This is where your story end
Right now we're gonna belt
Right now you don't look so well
That right you can't walk so well
Go on, give it a chance
May I ask for this dance
You're fucked up
Misdirected girls in town just a layin' down by a pool.
Check the scene check all 'round,
be sure 'n act a fool.
You don't even know your name.
You should bow your head in shame.
But you say that it's all right.
You go out night after night.
You're sad girl.
Ain't it a shame?
You're sad girl.
Aren't you a pain?
Been around for quite some time,
there's other's been around longer still.
Dye your hair get fucked up, pass out.
You got no reason to be on the pill.Sad girl,
I am god
You are god
How many times
do I have to die
for your sins
Sneakyville, sneaking up through the courtroom
Sneaking up round the jail
Sneaking through the grate
(you know?)
how many times do i have to die
for your sins
see iot over there and in between my teeth
rat velvet
it's everything I look
and everywhere I feel
Tooth crack under foot and death's head
rustles near
coup deville in sign
cushioned razor smear
rat velvet
love my mom and pop
they gave me the rope
buttocks scream coagulating
never give up hope
love my dog and cat
shards of summer's blood
tooth defying death relying
Harold's under mud
hate my mothers smirk
hemaroidal hinge
laminated glory faded
mamas on a binge
chew my daddys
underneath the porch
slicey dicey oncee-twicee
grandma baby
My Drug Buddy (Dando)
She's coming over
We'll go out walking
Make a call on the way
She's in the phonebooth, now
I'm looking in
There comes a smile on her face
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday
I'm too much with myself
I wanna be someone else
I'm too much with myself
I wanna be someone else
I'm too much with myself
I wanna be someone else
So we take off out Fiona's door
Walked until it's light outside
Like before
When you were on the phone
We have to laugh to look at each other
We have to laugh 'cos we're not alone
As the cars fly up King street
It's enough to startle us
It's enough to startle us
I love my drug buddy
My drug
My drug buddy
I love my drug buddy
My drug
It's not me, this disease
It's not you, that's not true
It's our fault, me and you
Most of all, you're not you
I dream of you, it's nothing new
I dream of you, it's nothing true
It's not you, that's not true
It's our fault, me and you
Most of all, you're not you
You're nothing new
You're nothing true
I dream of you, it's nothing you
Could you see your way clear?
And arrange your eyes away from mine
Sorry, I'm here
But you get paid, get paid to lie
You get paid to smile
Would you really say, hello?
And let me carry my own guitar
And please don't hold the door
I can work the handle on any car
It's really not that hard
Smile, paid to smile
Smile, paid to smile
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
The cigarette girl took off her tray
And dropped her dress in a shiny pile
Pulled her pants up on her way
When she gets home, she'll laugh a while
She gets paid to smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
One more time baby
one more time
you're thinking of me baby
one more time
one more time baby
one more time
you were above me baby
one more time
one more time baby
one more time
do you have to say you love me baby
one more time
one more time baby
one more time
one more time
Baby's getting anxious, the hour's getting late
The night is almost over, she can't wait
Oh, things are complicating, my love is in her hands
And there's no more waiting, she understands
The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection
Plaster caster, grab a hold of me faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her
And my love is the plaster and yeah, she's the collector
She wants me all the time to inject her
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
And if you wanna see my love
Just ask her, ask her, ask her
The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her
Plaster caster, plaster caster
She wants my love to last her, last her, last her
And she calls me by the name of master, master
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
Diggin' deeper in the sand, now the water comes up.
Cut my finger on the years oh, years oh.
What can you do? I'll remember you.
He waits for you behind the years oh, years oh.
Let it go.
Diggin' deeper in the sand, now the water comes up.
Cut my finger on the years oh, years oh.
What can you do? I'll remember you.
He waits for you behind the years oh, years oh.
Your certainty turns to doubt and you start flippin' out,
I've never been too good with names
The cellar door was open I could never stay away
I know it's probly not my place
It's either or I'm hoping for a simple way of saying
It's a shame about Ray
In the stone under the dust his name is still engraved
Some things need to go away
It's a shame about Ray
If I make it through today
I'll know tomorrow not to put my feelings out on display
I'll put the cobwebs back in place
verse1
Half past 9, quarter to ten
10:15, and we're coming around again
hold off, are we going soft?
Flushed my Zoloft, and we're comin' around again
Found out, and i almost drowned
Walked back down, and we're coming around again
{Chorus:}
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
{Repeat Chorus}
Khmer Rhouge, and genocide qua
Your place or mein kempf, now i'm givin' the dog a bone
slight hunch, without the vaguest clue
to keep the blood balanced, now we're coming around again
half past 9, quarter two,
10:15, and we're comin' around again
{Chorus:}
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
{Chorus:}
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
I haven't cried baby since I learned to talk
haven't fallen down since I learned to walk
and I don't get bored watchin' the tube
and I never had a rock in my shoe
and if I tried baby would you mess me 'round
would we both get bored by the simple sound
sorry 'bout dropping that lude it just seemed
like the best thing to do
It's all true I got me she's go you and we got
time to share a few you never get me down
when I'm feelin' blue
and when I tell you lies you won't believe they're
true and really should be on my way think
I'm gonna stick around all day
It's all true I got me she's got you but we got time
to parachute I don't wake up with a sudden start
with some empty arms and a broken heart
1st verse:
Circle of street light, rain on the windshield
Seeing you, for the last time
Eyes on the bus stop, not in the window
Seeing you, for the last time
My life had stood, a loaded gun
Cornered, til the day
The order passed, identified
And carried me away
Do you understand how it ends,
Do you understand how it ends?
Do you understand... how it ends, now!
2nd verse:
Circle of darkness...
The rain that won't, stop!
Eyes on the bustop...
Do you understand how it ends now?
Do you understand how it ends now?
Got me watching your eyes watching things go by outside
out the window of a train
easy sipping them just seeing it fly left to right
pour the milk and I'll say when
I'm out wandering around.
You're but one thing I've found.
I don't mean to bring you down.
I'm out wandering around.
kinda hoped you wouldn't blame me
I can't wake up every day and find the same me
you can scream but I'll just dream how you might disappear
all I know is it's never clear
I can't hold you near.
you just are not here.
though it wasn't hard or far.
I walked you to your car.
Oh....
I'm sittin' up in my room
thinkin' about you, guess
I'm just a wasted boy
with nothing better to do
try not tp pick up the phone
eleven times a day
when do i hope you're not home
I got nothin to stay I gotta stop
it really hurts
8 ways to say you're wrong
20 ways to lie
8 ways to say tomorrow
something better change
been livin with your shit too long
you know it's gotta end
yell to me sing your song
you know it's gotta end
you just been around too long
to still be my friend
try and talk it out with you
let's not pretend
now's the time today's the day
to show you what I fail to say
I gotta stick I got some friends
this is where your story ends right now.
we're gonna belt right now
you don't look so well that's right
you can't walk so well
go on, give it a chance
may I ask for this dance
1st verse:
all my friends have gone away
gone away for a long stay
I love you or so I say
today, today
yesterday I felt no shame
now my state is plainly tame
day to day, today today
I said hey, hooray
1st chorus:
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel ev'rything
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel everything
2nd verse:
yesterday I felt no shame
now my state is plainly tame
day to day, today today
I said hey, hooray
all my friends have gone away
gone away for a long stay
I love you or so I say
today, today... hey
2nd chorus:
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel everything
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel everything
Final chorus:
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel everything
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna.
I feel like Steven is my father and I don't know why
but I realized it when I looked in his eyes
I feel like Steven is my daddy and it ain't no lie
I wanna hold you 'til the end of time so come on daddy
run into my arms come on daddy wanna feel your charms
come on daddy, run into my arms
I wanna hold you 'til the end of time
didn't know I was your baby 'til the age of nine
didn't know I was your babe for such a long time
but something inside me made me realize
something inside told me you were mine
so come on daddy run into my arms
come on daddy I wanna feel your charms
come on daddy so come on daddy
run into my arms I wanna hold you
I wanna hold you 'til the end of time
it's never too late to find out or too late to know
and now we're back in the saddle we're starting
Speak so softly and lowly like you want me to hear and
It just shows to go me no need to speak to speak clear
You're away on a movie
I want you to be Be Be you're away on a painting and
I see you're away on a painting
It don't bother me me me me ,
Come on baby say you don't hare me grape leaf
stay fair save me startin' all over heather clover
come over rover
Break me break me break me break me
break me speak so softly and lowly like you want
Started out today jello in the sand
Went out of my way not to understand
Walked into a tree don't you look at me
See I'm not myself phoney mystery
Sore afraid
That's my tune
Ceiling fan in my spoon
Clothed in iron there's no denyin
When you feel like a bent fork tine
Feeling like a bent fork tine
Sei proprio un grasso menefregista
Sei dal lontano il piu
coatto uomo nel mondo
Sei una testa di cazzo-
Lato di ferro
Sei una testa di cazzo
Guardo la tivu ogni pomeriggio
Quando l'accendo, vedo
un gran cazzo - l'odio e l'amo
che Dio-sei magico
Sure he's had his share of problems,
his life has been tough
But that's no excuse to be so fucking gruff
Mark Sanger serves him ham, though he doesn't like pork
He'd rather eat his own shit with a knife and a fork
Basta con lo stronzo - non lo mangia, prego!
Lato di ferro - ti voglio bene
Lato di ferro, una domanda
Puoi dirmi se il tuo piatto e buono
Mi domandavo
You are really a fat person who does not give a fuck
You are by far the most coarse man in the world
You are a head of a dick, Ironside
I watch TV every afternoon
When I turn it on, I see a big dick -
I hate it and I love it
What a God - you are fabulous
Cero, lui ha un sacco di problemi, la sua vita e dura
Ma non c'e nessuna scusa essere tanto burbero
Mark Sanger gli serve prosciutto,
benche non gli piace carne di maiala
Preferirebbe mangiare il suo stronzo con un coltello ed una forchetta
Enough with the shit, don't eat it please!
Ironside, I'm very fond of you
Ironside, a query
Can you tell me if your dish is good?
I was wondering
Here comes Gwyneth's head in a box
Gwyneth's head in a box
Soupy Sales my friend
Here comes Gwyneth's head
Here comes Gwyneth's head in a box
Gwyneth's head in a box
Skip Stevenson's dead
Here comes Gwyneth's head
All flesh is grass
Finish your paella
All flesh is grass
Finish your paella
All flesh is grass
Here comes Gwyneth's head in a box
Gwyneth's head in a box
Skip Stevenson's dead
Here comes Gwyneth's head
Being Around by Lemonheads
--------------------------
If I was the fridge would you open the door?
If I was the grass would you mow your lawn?
If I was your body would you still wear clothes?
If I was a booger would you blow your nose?
Where would you keep it?
Would you eat it?
I'm just trying to give myself a reason
For being around
If I was a front porch swing would you let me hang?
If I was the dance floor would you shake your thang?
If I was a rubber check would you let me bounce
Up and down inside your bank account?
Would you trust me not to break you?
I'm just trying really hard to make you
Notice me being around
If I was a haircut would you wear a hat?
If I was a maid could I clean your flat?
If I was the carpet would you wipe your feet?
In time save me from mud off the street?
If you like me if you love me
Would you get down on your knees and scrub me?
I'm real grubby
>From just being around
This song was typed in by Gary Adkins (gary@gnu.ai.mit.edu) from listening
to the track on the CD single 'My Drug Buddy' (Atlantic 85780-2). If you
She'd shake it up it was hard to make out
Now it's plain to see
I couldn't cook to save myself
Found my life a recipe
I never looked at her this way before but now she's all I see
Alison's starting to happen to me
It's so mesmerizing can't describe it all that inside, hey
No one's heard her last name
I ain't asked so who am I to blame
An earthquake started boiling underneath my feet today
Alison's starting to happen to me
This world is topsy turvy and it is mine to eat
She's a pebble in my mouth and underneath my feet
She's the puzzle piece behind the couch that made the sky complete
Alison's getting her tit pierced
Alison's growing a mowhawk
I don't know what to say to you
I wish you had something to add
I feel that we could sit and talk
but we don't and it makes me mad
You go on, just get out of here
I think I'd feel a whole lot better
If you'd let me be
I'll stay here thinking of your plans
I hate the way you make me love jealousy
I want a bit part in your life
A walk on would be fine
I just want a bit part in your life
I want a bit part in your life
Rehearsing all the time
I just want a bit part in your life
A little more than a cameo
Nothing traumatic when I go
A little more than a stand-in

Verse
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
running like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow
'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls
near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says,
I feel my life Just like a river running thru
The year of the cat
Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice
and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat
You left off where I got on.
Now temptation's weak and my pa-tience is strong.
Used to be I was unkind.
Now I don't call and you don't mind.
Thought it was wrong, wrong what she said.
Now you're right and I'm left for dead.
Thought it was dumb, dumb what I heard.
Now I'm eatin' every word.
Clang, bang, clang went the good guy at the door.
They put me in a cell with a concrete floor.
Wrapped a phone cord 'round my fist.
They abort my wrist and I cut where I kissed.
Thought it was wrong, wrong what she said.
Now you're right and I'm left for dead.
Thought it was dumb, dumb what I heard.
Now I'm eatin' every word.
Clang, bang, clang.
Clang, bang, clang.
Bang, clang (say say say say)
There's a crow flyin' down from over the hill.
Cracked paint on my window sill.
Each morning broke provides a girl.
Forget my evening feeling world.
When day gets dark it seeps into my skin.
And I rcall the spark that kept me sane.
Can't talk to you it's plain,
Won't start to name my pain,
Or forget I don't know why
You tugged the corner of my eye.
Movin' up the neck of my guitar.
I turn the lamp off, I see where you are.
Your one light slowly fading in my mind.
The furthest from my head.
Half the time.
Simple point too bright to leave the sky.
You're dissolving in my eye, in my eye.
My closed eye.
Half the time.
Mountain Dew and Malboro, While I stew over er all I owe.
My eyes set wet against the breeze,
Guide the sun into the trees.
Where squirrels are holding acorns in their teeth.
I can't see into why I made you leave.
Your one light slowly fad--ing in my mind.
The furthest from my head.
Half the time.
A simple point revolving in my sky.
You're dissolving in my eye.
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottled blues
And tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
My mind was young and then it grew
My thoughts known only by a few
A dream much too real to be leaned against too long
And all the time I guess she knew
Her thoughts still dance inside my head
Her comb still lies beside my bed
But the sun comes up without her, it doesn't know she's gone
And it remembers nothing that she said
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottled blues
And tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Now satan is all over this world
You wanna find him
I wanna find him
now satan is everything you are
Everything I am
When I pledge
I'm not like you
I'm not like him
I'm so nice thing
no such like him
now the soul he didn't see it
he didn't mean it
he didn't see it
my ruthie doll
blind as a bat
slow as a turtle
I give up to you right now my lord
She takes me on a rocking stroll
If you won't wave guess I won't know
As by I roll I hope you'll throw a smile at me
Cause this here pram is all I've known
Won't be walking till I've grown
All I've been shown is everything I want to see
People's knees
Trunks of trees
Smile at me
Looking upward to the sky
Moving forward all the time
The sidewalk lines gdunk gdunk gdunk gdai
If it's warm in here is it cold down there
Around out where I can only stare
I met a boy called Frank Mills
On September twelfth right here
In front of the Waverly
But unfortunately
I lost his address
He was last seen with his friend,
A drummer, he resembles George Harrison of the Beatles
But he wears his hair
Tied in a small bow at the back
I love him but it embarrasses me
To walk down the street with him
He lives in Brooklyn somewhere
And wears this white crash helmet
He has gold chains on his leather jacket
And on the back is written the names
Mary
And Mom
And Hell's Angels
I would gratefully
Appreciate it if you see him tell him
I'm in the park with my girlfriend
And please
Tell him Angela and I
Don't want the two dollars back
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
The story's getting closer to the end
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
He'd rather be alone than pretend
She just wanted him to love her but he didn't
He took to the woods and wandered in it
Walked along and on until they couldn't
Stole himself to tell her that he wouldn't
Walked along and on 'til his legs couldn't

Stupid arguing

Love is heat with a light
love's a sound you can't hear
When we're far far apart,
when we're too near
If I could show you

If I could stop the words
before they start....

--Verse 1--
You say you've seen my kind before
That I'm not sexy any more
Nor are you!
You say I am an animal
That I'm not like a man at all
Well it's true!
--Chorus--
I am a rabbit
I've got to have it
It's force of habit
I'd like to share my carrot
With you
--Verse 2--
You say I've got a one track mind
That I just want to have a grind
With you
Well I don't to marry you
I just want to get through
You
--Chorus x 1--
--Bridge--
You're just a bit of lettuce as far as I'm concerned
I don't want to go with you to the point of no return
That's because I am a rabbit

--Chorus x 1--

You got problems you can't solve,
it's enough to make you start to hate your friends.
You go to a show and they stare at your face.
Don't you know?
You hate your friends.
When you got problems you can't solve,
it's enough to make you start to hate your friends.
You go to a show and they stare at your face.
Don't you know? You hate your friends.
Your face is blushing and your temperature's rising.
Drink yourself silly,
there's no use disguising that you hate your friends.
Go!
Stare at the newspaper, nothing to say.
There's really no use in me going away.
I think I'll go to the drugstore today.
Maybe that chick's working over there today.
When you got problems you can't solve,
it's enough to make you start to hate your friends.
You go to a show and they stare at your face.
Don't you know?
You hate your friends.
When you got problems you can't solve,
it's enough to make you start to hate your friends.
You go to a show and they stare at your face and
don't you know?
You hate your friends.
Your face is blushing and your temperature's rising.
Drink yourself silly,
there's no use disguising that you hate your friends.
You hate your friends.
You hate your friends.
You hate your friends.
Been a long time since I've seen your face
I've been down, I've been in lonely places
Now you say you're feeling different
Now you say you're feeling different
Been a long time since I heard your voice
Telling me lies I always believe in
Now you're saying something different
Now you're saying something different
Maybe you've seen it all before
But I'm gonna tell you something more
There's no such thing as a second chance
There's no such thing as another try
There's no such thing as starting all over
All you ever did was make me cry
Been a long time since I've seen your eyes
Looking at me, looking through me
Now you're looking somehow different
Now you're looking somehow different
Been a long time since I felt your touch
Pulling me closer, and I can't fight you
Now you're doing something different
Now you're doing something different
Say you want to give it another go
There's something that you have to know
There's no such thing as a second chance
There's no such thing as another try
There's no such thing as starting all over
All you ever did was make me cry
There's no such thing as a second chance
There's no such thing as another try
There's no such thing as starting all over
All you ever did was make me cry
There's no such thing as a second chance
There's no such thing as another try
There's no such thing as starting all over
I'm glad I don't know what you been thinking lately about yours truly.
I bet I don't know how or when I'll fall,
or if I'll see a movie.
I'm glad I don't know left from wrong,
or just how far I'll get.
I'm glad I don't know.
I'm glad I don't know.
You just play your tricks all day,
and run back home to bed.B5
I bet when you get there,
you just wanna get out,
wishing you were dead.
Or maybe you're real happy,
just thrilled to break your bread.
Well installed or so enthralled,
or fuckin' right out of your head.
I'm glad I don't know.
I'm glad I don't know.
I'm glad I don't know.
I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm from the crowd
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms I can go
And if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone anymore
I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm from the crowd
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms I can go
So if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone anymore
I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms I can go
Found a place nothing's ever there
made a little space big enough to pitch a tent
a hideaway I hadn't ever gone
'til I whacked my way under the overgrowth
I found a place I found a place
I found a place I whacked my way
and looking back to discover my tracks
dirty hands and light through the branches
found myself a breathing place
got room to stand up straight
and if I wanna lay around I can
find way to pass the time
flat down or on my side
and in a while I close my eyes
you can
you can
come on
you can be too rich
and you can be too thin
and you can take it with you
wherever you go
you must talk to stangers
when you visit a new park
you might ask the park ranger
where you should park
you can be too rich
and you can be too thin
and you can take it with you
Dawn can?t decide if there should be more of this porch
She?s sick of being inside, he reads the signs
And now they?re making out in Lancaster, just to pass the time
Curtis C called, left a message in Japanese
Dawn returned the call, reviewed the newest Taang release
Joe shoulda known that the Long Island Lolita would be the cause
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
And you strike, strike the right chord
The right chord in me, strike the right chord
Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
No paperwork
Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah
Dawn can?t decide
Always had a roof above me, always paid the rent
No I've never set foot inside a tent
I couldn't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never slept out underneath the stars
The closest that I came to that was one time my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type
Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag, let alone a mountain bike
I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if somethings on TV and it's never shown again
It's just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type
Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
There's a disease going 'round the hospital
Green, green leaves falling from the trees
There's a disease going 'round the hospital
Green, green leaves falling from the trees
You gotta run away
You gotta spin a web
You gotta stay up late
You gotta stay in bed
There's a disease going 'round the hospital
Green, green leaves falling from the trees
There's a disease going 'round the hospital
Green, green leaves falling from the trees
You gotta run away
You gotta spin a web
You gotta stay up late
This is the place I wear the save face
This is the spot of where I jump off
This is the bar of where I lose heart
Over the pain and I?m past the bleeding
And it's not the tracks, it?s where they?re leading
This my best king carnivore
This is my scream, it?s just a dull roar
These are my hands, I?ve shown you before
Over the pain and I?m past the bleeding
And it's not the tracks, it?s where they?re leading
Hasn?t been so bad yet I?ll do it again
The error of my ways, maybe one of these days
Hasn?t been so bad yet I?ll do it again
The error of my ways, maybe one of these days
It's irrelevant, I?m an elephant, she?s a mouse
I met a little girl in Knoxville a town we all know well
and every Sunday evening out in her home
I'd dwell we went to take an evening walk about a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground and beat that fair girl down
she fell down on her bended knee for mercy
she did cry oh Willy dear don't kill me here
I'm unprepared to die she never spoke another word
I only beat her more until the ground around us with all her blood did
pour I took her by her golden curls and drug
her 'round and 'round throwing her into the river
that flows through Knoxville town go down go
down you Knoxville girl with the dark and
rolling eye go down go down you can never be my bride
I headed back to Knoxville got there
about midnight my mother she was worried
and woke up in a fright saying dear son what have
you done to bloody your clothes so
I told my anxious mother I was bleeding out my nose
I called for a candle to light myself to bed
I called for me a handkerchief to blind me aching head rolled
and tumbled the whole night through a troubles was for
me like flames of hell around my bed and in my eyes could they
carried me down to Knoxville and they put me in a cell
my friends all tried to get me out but none could go
my bail I'm here to waste me life away down in this dirty old jail
One of the reasons
I came all this way
Two opposite seasons
I had to hear you say
You were gonna hang around a while
I notice my postcard in a pile
One, two, three, four
Pepper, salt, sugar and tarragon
We're hanging by the pool
Mortar bricks and aluminum
Step one, figure two
I know it's probably not my place
Watch the water drain different way
One, two, one, two, three
If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
If I could you know I'd try to
Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out
It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without
It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without
Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out
If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Ask the other half if I might
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's 'cause I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Yes, I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Layin' up with Linda used to be fun
Nobody ever paid the rent, there was never anything done
Then one day I killed her, now I'm on the run
But living with Linda used to be fun
Living with Linda, she did what I wanted her to do
But living with Linda wasn't always easy to do
So one day I killed her, now I'm on the run
But living with Linda used to be fun
Layin' up with Linda, never had responsibility
She was a dancer at night, I was rock 'n rollin' 'til three
We drank, we never saw the daylight, that was the death of her and me
Then one day I just got bored and killed her, but she used to be fun
Layin' up with Linda, we stole, fuck, fuck
Never had a quarter, everything we owned was in hock
Then I got pissed and killed her, so now I'm on the run
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains or things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But let's not talk of love or chains or things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
Don?t wanna get stoned
Don?t wanna get stoned
But I don?t wanna not get stoned
I don?t wanna not get stoned
Don?t wanna get high
I don?t wanna get high
But I don?t wanna not get high
And I don?t wanna not get stoned
Wanna knock things down
I?m not gonna knock things down
But I don?t wanna not get stoned
So I?m not gonna not knock things down
Don?t wanna think twice
I don?t have to think twice
But I?m not gonna get high
And I?m not gonna get stoned
Style
Not gonna come 'round
I don?t wanna come down
I just want a killer line
And I?ll figure it out myself
Don?t wanna get stoned
I don?t wanna get stoned
But I don?t wanna not get stoned
I don?t wanna not get stoned
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is takin' me
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
Well, it's easier than just waitin' 'round to die
One time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
She told him to take care of me and headed down to Tennessee
It's easier than just waitin' 'round to die
I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
But the posse caught up with me and drug me back to Muskogee
It's two long years of waitin' 'round to die
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name is codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die
The gas man came, took out our electric stove
I helped him carry her
He told me he had been a prize fighter once
Shuffled her through and out the door
We walked back in talked 'bout his boy at U.V.M.
And we began to put the new stove in
But I miss my stove, she's all alone
Call it love, she's been replaced
I miss my stove, she's all alone
She's right out front and looks a mess
Unwanted guest, we lied to her
I miss my stove, feel sad I guess
I know I shouldn't think about it anymore
"What's the point?", you say
But I'm reminded each time I walk out my door
My stove is gone to stay
He walked back, in talked 'bout his boy at U.V.M.
And we began to put the new stove in
But I miss my stove, she's all alone
Call it love, she's been replaced
I miss my stove, she's all alone
She's right out front and looks a mess
Unwanted guest, we lied to her
Waiting for something to break
Left my heart out to bake
Nothing there in my glass
Wasn't never made to last
Hope in my past
All the way down to the lake
Found the lake was wet
How much more could I take?
Better yet
Walked back home to my place
Tired of getting high
Guess I don't wanna die
Hope in my past
Waiting for something to break
Left my heart out to bake
Slipped my mind that I could use my brain
I'll stay up all night and crash on the plane
A ship without a rudder is like a ship without a rudder
What a comfort to find out you're losing your mind
when you re-realize that it's not the first time
burnt the beyond when you learned how to fly
just learn later on that there isn't a sky
there aren't any clouds and there aren't any trees
and there aren't any birds and there's no cinder caught I my eye
'til I've tied a tired knot and tired to untie it
I just can't decide if I should lie or tell the truth
Thrilled to be in the same post code as you
I tell you things I know you'd like to know
Treat you to cake every night
Suddenly talk and it'll make you fright
Smile at me, I'll hold you really tight
Follow you into bed, run around till mornin'
We'll stay awake all night
We'll repeat the same stories
But of course never in front of friends
How it all started in the kitchen, hey
Remember the time when you said we should wait a while?
You'd let me know when you changed your mind
Yeah I was sad for some time
But 12 hours watching me at the wheel
Made me realize what you really feel
Won't have to hurt anymore, run around till mornin'
We'll stay awake all night
We'll repeat the same stories
But of course never in front of friends
How it all started in the kitchen
Walking you home along Mt. Vernon Street
You told me secrets I was shocked to know
Pretend it was me every night
I'm thrilled to be in the same postcode as you
I'll come and visit, maybe never go
Follow you into bed, run around till mornin'
We'll stay awake all night
We'll repeat the same stories
But of course never in front of friends
How it all started in the kitchen
Run around till mornin'
And we'll stay awake every night
Repeat the same stories
But of course never in front of friends
Got me watching your eyes watching things go by outside
Out the window of a train
Easy sipping them just seeing it fly left to right
Pour the milk and I'll say when
I'm out wandering around
You're but one thing I've found
Don't mean to bring you down
I'm out wandering around
Kinda hoped you wouldn't blame me
I can't wake up every day and find the same me
You can scream but I'll just dream how you might disappear
All I know is it's never clear
I can't hold you near
You just aren't here
Though it wasn't hard or far
Take a look into some big gray eyes
And ask yourself, you wanna make 'em cry?
Lookin' out of them it's just as well
But you're gonna live to see, I'm gonna ask you why
Either way you got a bone to pick
Can't you leave that to somebody else?
I don't need you to suck my dick
Or to help me feel good about myself
Big gay heart
Please, don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart
Please, don't break my big gay heart
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Do you have to try to piss me off 'cause I'm easy to please?
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Yeah, while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene
If you can find a way to add it up
It might be hard but it might be enough
I'd be grateful, I'd be satisfied
And you might find in time, it wouldn't feel so bad
After all it doesn't take that much
And it would mean the song to me
For you to lose the part that's still afraid
And not prepared to see
My big gay heart
In the dark, my big gay heart
Big gay heart
Please, don't break my big gay heart
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Do you have to try to piss me off just 'cause I'm easy to please?
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Yeah, while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene
Big gay heart
Please, don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart
Please, don't break my big gay heart
My big gay heart
In the dark, my big gay heart
Big gay heart
My indecision is causing me pain
It's hard to conceal it and it's harder to name
But before I leave for work here's some words that might hurt
But it's something that I have to say
Think about me when he calls around three
The time that you know I'm not at home
All that I ask is our promises last
'Til the time I can stand on my own
When a horse breaks a leg then it's best to shoot it
'Cause it's quick and it eases the pain
When a marriage is dying tell me who does the firing
And who is to say who's to blame
Think about me when he calls around three
The time that you know I'm not at home
All that I ask is our promises last
'Til the time I can stand on my own
You may think I went to work but I took the day off
And I watched him as his car pulled in the drive
And although my heart's hurtin', my shotgun is workin'
And it packs one hell of a surprise
Think about me when he calls around three
'Cause guess what, your baby's home
I'll cut you in half with a double shot blast
And I'll pound on his head with a stone
Kill the longing,
Though I know I'm lying to myself
It's an eccentric gift
Gathering dust on the shelf
Still feverish;
Say dies -- one wish
New stars, old sky:
Lies satisfy
How can you live without losing anything?
What do you give the girl who has everything?
While the months go by
And I can almost touch you
I pull back from your hand
Because I want too much to
Hat full of rain
Clean & profane
Though impolite
Can this be right?
I can't -- can't stop you
Do what you want to
What's left -- left over?
Bite my tongue
And I won't say a word against anyone
But I don't wanna get my fingers wet
Unless it's an accident
I fell out on the street
Now I'm watching my shoes and I grit my teeth
But I don't have to look that way
If I had half a say
It's about time
It's about time
Lick my lips
And I won't hear the end of this
On your knees a reassurance
Buy some time and come back for it
Before long, before it's gone
Patience is like bread I say
I ran out of that yesterday
It's about time
It's about time
Enough about us
Let's talk about me
It's not about you
It's not about sunshine
It's about time
It's about time
Touch my leg
It's smooth but there stubble there
I'll fall back and let 'em go
Only when I know you know
I don't know make me sure
Have your people contact mine
And keep your lawyer on the line
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
Well it's not much like a lounger
You know it's more like a sofa bed
And if you get the feeling you'll be hanging around
Well you can crash out on my divan
You can crash out on my divan
Well the TV's set where it is
And you can watch it for as long as you like
But the minute you get tired of it
Crash out on my divan
You can crash out on my divan
Crash out on my divan
You can crash out on my divan
In the morning I got things to do
I've gotta be up and out by ten
But if you're still asleep then I won't wake you
You can crash out on my divan
You can crash out on my divan
Crash out on my divan
I wanna lie down and listen
I wanna lie down and listen
I gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown
So you cry now and you're pacing
Feel your town might need erasing
You gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown
Is it really true
He has passed away
Neither I or you can really say
We were fast asleep
just the other day
I'd been dreaming about the bales of house high hay
We went and climbed that day
If it ain't fixed, don't break it
When the pain pricks you can take
Kill a werewolf wooden you stake it
Bring the sky down while we're waiting
Put a line out or cut bacon
Drop a dime now for satan
Where's your black gown?
If you find our you're mistaken
Give exactly what you're taking
When it's time to throw the rake in
I wanna lie down and listen
I wanna lie down and listen
Don't wanna get stoned
Don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned
Don't wanna get high
I don't wanna get high
But I don't wanna not get high
And I don't wanna not get stoned
Wanna knock things down
I'm not gonna knock things down
But I don't wanna not get stoned
So I'm not gonna not knock things down
Don't wanna think twice
I don't have to think twice
But I'm not gonna get high
I I'm not gonna get stoned
Style
Not gonna come round
I don't wanna come down
I just want a killer line
And I'll figure it out myself
Don't wanna get stoned
I don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned
["Come to the window,
sweet is the night air..."
- Matthew Arnold, "Dover Beach"]
Morning fields moving slow
Cold bright river always flow
Church bell all the way from town
Sun will tell you if you listen to
Hold on the yourself
For awhile
Love the world
Enough to smile
Friends will come and friends will go
But I'll always be here
Grownup fast eyes of a child
Shine like a candle all the while
Ask the sky what it's trying to say
Don't mind the rest, they won't hear anyway
Hold me in your heart
For awhile
Love the world
Enough to smile
Friends will come and friends will go
But I'll always be here
When the trees are bare on the sky
I won't have to tell you not to cry
Season come and seasons go
Water falls to hold me up
Center of the sea
Someway that you'll never be
I wanna change but I don't know how
How can you let him touch you now?
Darkness folds to draw me out
Bottom of the sky
Drowning eyes they turn to die
Collector knows, forever lie
Acid in your throat, don't cry
Fire on the ocean go
Sun is sinking far below
Glowing cold but always gone
Numb and flashing off and on
Dying in your heart
Dying in your heart
Dying in your heart
Grab a hold and don't say when
Shattered on the floor
Trying not to lose it all
Your eyes like an iron wall
Waiting for the axe to fall
Fire on the ocean go
Sun is sinking far below
Glowing cold but always gone
Numb and flashing off and on
Dying in your heart
Dying in your heart
Time goes by so very slow while you are fasting
I don't think I really know if you are asking
Crash the plane and boil the snow then do the last thing
Picture of a piece of wood stuck to the plastic
Declarations spoken low and said in passing
You're the one I used to know I hear you laughing
If I knew that you were coming
I'd have stayed awake
If you knew where you were going
I'd be interested
Miles of fields and it's snowing
On a frozen lake
If I knew that you were coming
I'd have stayed awake
Time to die, You're welcome, You just overstayed it
I simplify the card was dealt before you played it
Your sense of community is kinda dated
Taking care Jerusalem is locked and gated
Making sure we all hate who we always hated
Till your lust for blood is well and truly sated
If I knew that you were coming
I'd have stayed awake
If you knew where you were going
I'd be interested
Miles of fields and it's snowing
On a frozen lake
If I knew that you were coming
I say out with it, you're not drinking
I say out with it, you're not drinking
It's not for me to know what you're thinking
'bout people staying home locking windows
Outside the basement
A texan stranger
With a rope and a straight razor
Is getting impatient for something major
It's in his nature
Two more years to go
Then you're supposed to know
How to get back home
Someplace near Waco
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything, anyway
Whatever will be, I guess we'll see
So let's just laugh
War is sacred as rape and hatred
And we're just aphids in hell's half acre
In the dark and on TV fires
Just a country on rims for tyres
Excuses tired
Someone fetch the piano wire
I hope you're tried and fried before you're finally fired
Two more years to kill
If you want I will
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything, anyway
Whatever will be, I guess we'll see
Let's just laugh
Let's just laugh
Here I am outside your house at 3 A.M.
Try'n to think you out of bed.
I whistle at your sill,
it echoes 'cross the street instead.
I never will forget.
I ain't remembered yet.
Like mackeral in a net,
I forget to forget.
And you saw nothing in my eyes but yourself.
Nothing in my eyes.
I can't seem to find the same in no one else,
I guess it's no surprise.
I never can forget.
I ain't remembered yet.
Like mackeral in a net,
I forget to forget.
I forget to forget.
I forget to forget.
She's comin over
We'll go out walkin'
Make a call on the way
She's in the phone booth now
I'm lookin' in
There comes a smile on her face
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday
I'm too much with my self
I won't be someone else
I'm too much with my self
I won't be someone else
I'm too much with my self
I won't be someone else
So we take off out Fiona's door
Walk untill it's light outside
Like before when we were on the phone
We have to laugh,
To look at each other
We have to laugh,
Cause we're not alone
As the cars fly up King street
It's enough to startle us
It's enough to startle us
I love my drug buddy
My drug
My drug buddy
I love,
My drug buddy
My drug
Saw you in the subway, twisting and falling
Train echoes in the stale air of a tunnel
Falling
Spinning in circles
We lose all direction
And fall where no arms can come rushing to catch us
Saw you on the 14th floor, twisting and falling
Scream bounces in the bright sun of a canyon
Fading
Hang on
All the houses look the same to me
Dogs bark in the driveways
There's the garden I've seen before
Bright porch, dark doorway
Two weeks in another town
Wake me up when it's over, again
Night turns into morning
A walk in the spring rain
Climbing up to the attic
Smell the dust and the sunshine, again
You just said a mouthful
The way it's supposed to go
As if you didn't know
Exactly how to feel
When it looks just like a dolphin show
The way that most folks know
This is how your life will go
I never wonder why
And I always get a decent lie
The way it's supposed to feel
When you're finding out it's real
Turning on a dime
We'll prepared and right in time, right in time
The way it's supposed to be
When you're climbing up a tree
What is that you see?
And don't forget the rule of three, rule of three
Rule of three, rule of three, rule of three, rule of three
I'm not keepin' up your side of the bargain
As we all know, a woman's will can harden
You try and soften up the blow
Still I hate to see you go
I beg your pardon
A swimming pool that used to be a garden
Get it started
Bake someone a cake and fold my heart in
Drive around the lake and roll my car in
Roll my car in
Is it time to pull my chestnuts from the fire?
Oh my my
Should I diversify or keep my powder dry
It's early in the day
Still it's late enough to say you were a liar
And the truth becomes more clear as I get higher
Find a buyer
Claim yourself exempt and wear a wire
Sleep around until you're good and tired
Good and tired
Watch it bubble out of sight
Tell me psycho where's the knife
Set your watch to ruin my life
Yeah, tell yourself you're not my type
You're not keepin' up my side of the bargain
As we all know, a woman's will can harden
Try and soften up the blow
Still I hate to see you go
There's a girl I know, she's the one I dream of
Look into her eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Yes I lose control, I can't seem to get enough whoa
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love?
Tell me how will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know if she really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
Falling in love is so bittersweet
I'm asking you cos you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy - can't speak
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak?
Oh, wake me, I'm shaking, I wish I had you near me now whoa
Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love
Ooh how will I know
Don't trust your feelings - how will I know?
How will I know?
Those things they can be deceiving
How will I know?
How will I know if he's thinking of me
Your home is where you're happy
It's not where you're not free
Your home is where you can be what you are
As you were just born to be
Now they'll show you their castles
And diamonds for all to see
But, they'll never show you their peace of mind
Cause they don't know how to be free
So burn all your bridges
Leave your past behind
You can do what you want to do
Cause you're strong in your mind
And, anywhere you might wander
You can make that your home
Just as long as you've got love in your heart
You'll never be alone
Just as long as you've got love in your heart
You'll never be alone
Society
Tells me who I can be
Tells me who I can know
Tells me what I can grow
Some office block
Tells me when I can talk
Tells me when I can joke
Tells me what I can smoke
Yeah...
Look at critics criticizin
Analyzin
Tell me what do they know
People pushin, people shovin
Too much hate, not enough lovin
Guess that's the way it goes
Now the cops are on my land, turn my garden into sand
I'm feelin kinda low
All for a little weed
All for a little seed
Because outta the dirt, tell me how it can hurt
Tell me who it can harm
Because i put my farm
The world turns around
My plants grow outta the ground, babe
And from just a li'l seed, comes some mighty fine weed
Yeah...
Look at critics criticizin
Theorizin
Tell me what they know
People pushin, people shovin
Too much hate, c'mon people try some lovin
Guess that's the way it goes
Now the cops are on my land, now they've broken up my band
I'm feelin kinda low
All for a little weed
All for a little seed
Oh... yeah
Goes on in Spanish Harlem
Goes on in Poughkeepsie
People slip away
Hit me in the arm
Just please do it swiftly
We ain't got all day, yeah
One more coat of arms
Every business weekly
What's Amanda say?
It's not that I'm so strong
I never knew what hit me
Since you came to stay, yeah
Speard and flayed
Burnt and bleeding, I'll catch up some day
'Til tomorrow's bruises go away
And the grass is turning into hay
I'll be glad to be your extra blade
Goes on in Spanish Harlem
Goes on in Poughkeepsie
Lost my grip today
Here to stay
Least until it's time to go away
Walking masterpiece of remembered pain
This teeming life has got you in it's way
Hey Jem, how ya doing, do you need someone else?
Well actually Jemima I'd prefer to be by myself
Always helps to have someone else along
But if my girlfriend sees us, she'll come to the conclusion it's wrong
Does this mean we're on shaky ground?
I'm happy when you're around
So let's not put our friendship at bay
I love you in a different way
Paradise and catastrophe, they go side by side
You should tell your baby, we've got nothing to hide
When I wanna see you I take Jersey for a walk
What's with all this secrecy, when all we ever do is talk?
Does this mean we're on shaky ground?
I'm happy when you're around
So let's not put our feelings at bay
I love you in a different way
Did you know we're on shaky ground?
I'm happy when you're around
So let's not put our friendship at bay baby bay baby bay baby bay
Down, down to the beach
One lesson left to teach
There where the water flies
Let me lay down and die on the sand
The moment's at hand
On a winter sunday
Had to happen someday
I see the days go by
I feel the minutes fly
I feel the time slipping away
And I never saw the ice and snow
Whispering as you turned to go
Under snow you lay
Turning to go, can't stay
Don't take my hand
Down the road, around the hill
Past the dust and railroad tracks
Where the dark woods whisper
She is gone
Where the water runs unseen
Faded leaves are rustling
The deadfall snapping
She is gone
A carpet of pine needles spreads to the burying ground
Petals scatter, seasons change
She is dust, she is no more
Only the ground remembers
Pre>intro riff (also used with verses):
D#5 a#/d g#/c c#5 (x2)
D#5 a#/d g#/c c#5
We hit the highway in the shimmer glare of summer
D#5 a#/d g#/c c#5
And past the window all the trees flew by behind her
D#5 a#/d g#/c c#5
She tuned the radio 'til music was around us
D#5 a#/d g#/c c#5
A rushing calm around my heart I knew had found us
It feels so good to me
I have to make you see
D#5 a#5 g5 g#5
Why does this ever have to end?
D#5 a#5 g5 g#5
I know commitment is not the trend
D#5 a#5 g5 g#5
Don't misunderstand what I intend
D#5 a#5 g5 g#5
When I say this doesn't have to end
We washed the dishes knowing everything was all right
And there together in the curtain drifting twilight
I know your laughter shouldn't make me feel so scared
How could I doubt you, I know how much you cared
I hear it when you sigh
But I still don't know why
Why does this ever have to end?
Why can't I give you my heart and hand?
I think you're too scared to understand
This doesn't ever have to end . . . go!
Interlude (x2): f#5, g#5, a#5, c#5;
F#5, g#5, a#5, d#5!
Main riff (x2: first with just guitar; second time, w/ bass & drums)
I see you standing by a window in the hall
Our eyes collide without a single word at all
The record asks, "will you still need me when I'm 64? "
I can't imagine that I wouldn't need you more
Too many tears to cry
I just won't let it die
This doesn't ever have to end
Life is so long and my heart won't mend
You are my lover, you're my best friend
But this doesn't ever have to end
Bless my soul maybe I should leave it alone
I'm sure it could be safer to stay at home
You've made your point
It's pointless and it's all gonna burn
I'm in no state to skate but I'm gonna take my turn
I know you may never really understand
Why go through these motions with my hands
It's a gesture at best
But my body's in the right place
to fall in your arms now and wait to save face
I'll do it anyway
no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
but I got a hunch
and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand
It just ain't planned
It's still a beautiful world
American men you know them
they just gotta be right
When it's left to me
often times I'd rather not fight
They make a big deal out of everything
and they got too many guns
and just to make 'em mad
I'm gonna do it for fun
I'll do it anyway
no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
but I got a hunch
and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand
It just ain't planned
It's still a beautiful world
I'll do it anyway
no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
but I got a hunch
and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
over the barren plains
I'm still a girl
and it's just a horse
Years ago my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbleiveable odds
Gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Guns they wait to be stuck by
tThat my side is gone
And there ain't no one going to turn me around
There ain't no one going to turn me around
People around you tell you that they know
The places they've been to and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a room
you know you dont have to
you can just say no
and theyre aint no one goign to turn me around
there ain't no one going to turn me around
there ain't no one going to turn me around
there ain't no one going to turn me around
I've been built up and trusted
broke down and busted
they'll get theres and we'll get ours
if you can just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
years ago my hear was set to live, oh
and I've been trying hard against, against strong odds
gets so hard at times like now to hold on
gonna fall if I dont fight
that my side is gone
and there ain't no one going to turn me around
there ain't no one going to turn me around
ain't no one going to turn me around
There was a time, I would've trusted you
There was a time, that I would give it all away
There was a time, i'd give it just to you
There was a time, it didn't matter
What you'd say
What you'd say
I loved you so but that was long ago
When it only takes a day
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter anyway
Lying on my own again
Standing for whatever comes along
You'll never be alone again
You're only lonely when you let yourself get strong
get too strong
(chorus)
Look at your catastrophe
Look at me how it has to be
Say goodbye it's all the past to me
Just don't try
not the last to be
free and stupid in the sunrise
Summer blowin' by and shining in the trees
I get the feeling that you feel no suprise
unexpected morning had me on my knees
on my knees
I asked you what you wanted
You never give me your answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
The gleem in your eye has dove frozen stone cold
Gotta leave your side before it gets too old
Time out, times up
I really gotta go
Gotta find a way to let yoiu know that
I'm fed up with you, don't know what to do
wish you felt it too
I'm fed up with you
sit around and watch TV all day
stare at me and ask me what to say
fuck off
don't just maybe go away
I've said it before
think I'll say it again
louder today
It's my fault
I never learned a trade
So I just scrape all day
It's not my fault
Yeah, when there's never enough
So I just toil away
And oh, what you say to me
It's not how love's supposed to be
And oh, what you do to me
When you become the enemy
It's not your fault
Yeah, things didn't turn out the way you dreamed at school
And now you're raising two
But it's your fault
When you raise a pointed finger at the one who loves you
And oh, what you say to me
It's not how love's supposed to be
And oh, what you do to me
When you become the enemy
Pass the blame and our life away
Pass the blame, watch us fall away
Pass the blame and our life away
Pass the blame, watch us fall away
It's not our fault
Yeah things never turn out the way we plan
Something we can never understand
And it's both our faults
When we pass the blame instead of trying to change
Babe, we just need to rearrange
And oh, what you say to me
It's not how love's supposed to be
And oh, what you do to me
When you become the enemy
Pass the blame in our lives away
Pass the blame, watch us fall away
Pass the blame in our life away
I thought we had an understanding there
that wouldn't leave too soon
Figure it over and you'll find out where
your green shirt's gone
Had to hear about your Danish boyfriend
I forced a swoon
So I went over to your dresser drawer
and now I got it on
I got it on
your favourite Tee
It never looked as good on you
as it looks on me
I got it on
I'll wait and see
I used to wear it every day
and now it's twice a week
Fill in the shadows of a certain corner
you used to sit there
got me a brand new lamp, plugged it in
and now the dark don't fit there
Ain't got the time or the inclination
to see this through
I'm lookin up, climbing out of the station
and the sky's too blue
Chorus:
The sky's too blue
The sky's too blue
It mightn't suit me quite as well
as it used to
I got it on
Your favourite tee
Well I give up
buried alive
Can't seem to face up
buried alive
Can't seem to get it right
buried alive
and I'll be up all night
buried alive - I'm drowning
too much on my heart and my mind
schoolbooks are running my life
(alt.) schoolgirls are running my life
Don't tell yourself it's okay.
Don't tell yourself it's not true.
I don't want you to hurt me,
but I want to hurt you.
Why would I wanna hurt you,
when you make me cry so?
Why would I wanna do that?
It makes you want to die so.
Oh. Oh.
Don't tell yourself it's okay.
Don't tell yourself it's so fine.
Why not what a fine day,
I'm so glad that you're mine.
Why don't you try more?
You're ringing in my ears.
I'm going to try more.
Try to buy back my tears.
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Oh. Oh.
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Toss the beginning and try to live it down
An' work my way out I been so down about it
It gets the same every time I shy
Away from the blame and I stand my time
You can understand why I been so down about it
She's gonna give me all the time I need to finish it
And if I can't I'll sleep over
And out like a light when it's not plugged in
Fading around if it starts again
You just don't get it when I get so down about it
I drop you a hint so I hope you don't catch
You fumble your keys and I throw the latch
You'll still worried that I been so down about it
She's gonna give me all the time I need to finish it
And if I can't I'll sleep over
Out of it so I'd hope she'd be there
Talk to her as I climb the stairs, I told her
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
(Don't you know I been so down about it)
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
(I get so down about it)
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
(So down about it)
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
