Sunday morning in the valley we would gather for the service
You would always run to meet me you'd smile at papa kinda nervous
All the people came from miles around and I can still hear the sound
As they sang thanks to the Lord for the sun up in the sky
For the corn that's growin' high and for the child that didn't die
Thanks to the Lord for the crops and for the farm
For the satrenght in my right arm and for keepin' us from harm
And I say thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks to the Lord for a girl like you
[ steel + clapping ]
Come the day that we were married with all our folks from the congregation
Honey you looked just like an angel the sweetest thing in all creation
Papa hugged me and my mama cried everybody smiled with pride
As they sang thanks...
Sunday morning in the valley we would gather for the service
Emmily Jane would run to meet me she'd smile at papa kinda nervous
All the people came from miles around I can still hear the sound
As they sang thanks to the Lord for the sun up in the sky
For the corn that's growing high and for the child that didn't die
Thanks to the Lord for the crops and for the farm
For the satrenght in my right arm and for keepin' us from harm
Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks to the Lord for a girl like Emmily Jane
[ac.guitar ]
Came the day that we were married all our folks from the congregation
Emmily Jane was like an angel the sweetest thing in all creation
Papa hugged me and my mama cried everybody smiled with pride
Every night I sit here by my window
Staring at the lonely avenue
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing
And thinking 'bout the things we used to do.
Chorus:
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.
Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to.
When I'm not thinking of
Just how much I love you
Well, I'm thinking bout the
Things we used to do.
Chorus:
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.
Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking bout the things we used to do.
Still can hear the jukebox softly playing
And the face I see it still belongs to you.
Now there's not a single sound,
There's nobody else around
Well, it's just me thinking 'bout
The things we used to do.
Chorus:
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.
Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking bout the things we used to do
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to
Got me thinking 'bout the things we used to do.
Staring at the lonely avenue
Ev'ry night I sit here by my window (window)
Starin' at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching lovers holdin' hand 'n' laughin' (laughin')
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to)
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to (talkin' to)
When I'm not thinkin' of-a just how much I love you (love you)
Well, I'm-a thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
I still can hear the jukebox softly playin' (playin')
And the face I see each day belongs to you (belongs to you)
Though there's not a single sound and there's nobody else around
Well, it's-a just me thinkin' of the things we used to do
And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
Ya got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
There are things that make me mad
You are not one of them
There are things that make me sad
But you are not one of them
There are things that make me, dad
(Lew DeWitt)
Things just aren't the way they used to be
Things I thought I remembered well look different now to me
For adult eyes can sure surprise a childhood memory
No things just ain't the way they used to be.
The windows at the school don't seem as tall
As I remember neither do the fountains in the hall
And that fifth grade teacher really wasn't terrible at all
No things just ain't the way they used to be.
The playground doesn't seem as big somehow
And I could put a ball right through the office window now
And I know now why chewin' gum in school was not allowed
No things just ain't the way they used to be.
Butch Carter used to keep us kids afraid
He'd bust the lip of any kid who dared get in his way
I wish old Butch were standin' here in front of me today
'Cause things just ain't the way they used to be.
I wish I could have grown into the man
That I pictured as a child and fill those childhood plans
I'd do it right if only I could live my life again
But things just ain't the way they used to be.
Forbiden now these unfamiliar streets
Places momma told me I should never set my feet
Well, today I know exactly where those streets and alleys lead
'Cause things just ain't the way they used to be.
Buck Painter is no longer unemployed
Uncle Dick has simmered down with age and rarely gets annoyed
And now I see Butch Carters' gone to workin' for the Lord
No things just ain't the way they used to be.
No things just ain't the way they used to be...
Things just ain't the way they used to be
Things I thought I remembered well look different now to me
For adult eyes can sure surprise a Childhood memory
No, things just ain't the way they used to be
The windows at the school don't seem as tall
As I remember neither do the fountains in the hall
And that fifth grade teacher wasn't terrible at all
No, things just ain't the way they used to be
The playground doesn't seem as big somehow
And I could put a ball right through the office window now
And I know now why chewing gum in school was not allowed
No, things just ain't the way they used to be
Butch Carter used to keep us kids afraid
He'd bust the lip of any kid who dared get in his way
I wish ole' Butch was standin' here in front of me today
'Cause, things just ain't the way they used to be
I wish I could have grown into the man
That I pictured as a child and filled those childhood plans
I'd do it right if only I could live my life again
But things just ain't the way they used to be
Forbidden alleys unfamiliar streets,
Places mama told me I should never set my feet
Well today I know exactly where those streets and alleys lead
'Cause things just ain't the way they used to be
Buck Painter is no longer unemployed,
Uncle Dick has settled down with age and rarely gets annoyed
And now I hear Butch Carter's gone to workin' for the Lord
No, things just ain't the way they used to be

I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change
Until you hear, my dear
The 7 things I hate about you!
The 7 things I hate about you, oh you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
It's awkward and silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology
When you mean it, I'll believe it
If you text it, I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh, I'm not coming back
You're taking 7 steps here
The 7 things I hate about you!
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention the 7 that I like
The 7 things I like about you!
Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's
When we kiss I'm hypnotized
You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that's both I'll have to buy
Your hands in mine
When we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I like most that you do
We used to dwell in love's own palace
A palace of dreams come true
Now that we're through I bear no malice
Though we've called it a day
All I can say is
Tanks for all the lovely delights
I found in your embrace
I'm thankful though I know it's ending all too soon
And thanks for unforgettable nights, I never can replace
And memories that linger like a haunting tune
It is better to have loved you, dear and lost
Than never to have loved at all
Yes, it's better, for no matter what the cost
I held the world in sway, an emperor for a day
And thanks again for taking me on the road to paradise
We lost our road but still I must convey our thanks
It is better to have loved you, dear and lost
Than never to have loved at all
Yes, it's better, for no matter what the cost
I held the world in sway, an emperor for a day
And thanks again for taking me on the road to paradise
Things ain't what they used to be
Now I believe in all extremes
Things ain't what they used to be
And that won't change till we're a hundred and three
Let's never try to solve it baby
The equation of you plus me
Things ain't what they used to be
Can you believe it all we've seen
Things ain't what they used to be
It's theme park living A to Z
Let's never try to solve it baby
The equation of you plus me
It's all the same we're here today
Yesterday is just a dream, ancient history
It's all the same we figured out
What to take and what to leave, for the honey bees
Things ain't what they used to be
No money and no guarantee
Things ain't what they used to be
Our future's in a cup of China tea
Let's never try to solve it baby
The equation of you plus me
It's all the same we're here today
Yesterday is just a dream, ancient history
It's all the same we figured out
Well, talk to me
Whisper in my ear
Be quiet
Don't let anyone else hear
Don't you think they want me for it?
Can't you see they arrested me for it?
I just hope they don't need me for it
Birds and bees will soon be falling now
We found out
We found out
We found out
Wrong direction
Silly alien
Made a promise
To a young man
We all love
We are not proud of that
We all wish we had a silly hat
Johnny and Clyde will dance with me for it
Sarah and Eileen would kiss me for it
Sue and Joanne will kill me for it
Richard and Larry will pay a lot for it
Malcolm and Alan might have drugged me for it
you my friend my special friend i give thanks to you my dear friend
i won't pretend and say till the end but take time now and say thank you
i never said i was the best friend i could be the friend that you need
but still i take the time to thank before it's too late
take time now before a face in the crowd is what our friendships become
i thank you for the time we talked all night
and for the time you told me i'd be all right
thank you for listening and hearing my side thank you for being my friend
I'm overjoyed and over loved and feeling lucky
Like a little boy who's hiding under covers
And looking to discover any way to play the part inside his darkened cave
Well the meaning of life it starts at the nightlight
Close your eyes and hope to see mine
Well I've seen a thousand things in one place
But I stopped my counting when I saw your face
Erasing memory I feel as though I've never seen a face before
Until I saw your eyes smiling back at me thru my tears
I've been counting all these years
Now suddenly the thousand things I've seen were
Nothing more than dreams of you and me
You and me quietly at a stand still
Fortunately you will kiss me and I'll kiss you back
Fact of the matter of is that I don't know what the latter is
That I always wanted to kiss you but
I always wanted to run from you
Because I always wanted to miss you
And that I've always wanted to come for you
Shadowed is the game
Rodent be thy claim
Any open door
Leads to instant things
Make me go away
Take me to a place
Do some things to me
Make me go away
Ancient things design
Make me go away
Over is the game
Captured have you been
Twisted was part two
Ageless is the end
Things we must not do
Must not walk through walls
Also also don't
Do some things we did
Is this thing an oak?
What kind of a tree
This here must be swept
Must do instant things
The smell of blue perfume
Present in design
I've a need to talk
Let us speak of things
Nothing do I know
But loudly do I ring
Also don't
Do some things we did
Keith Sweat, Busta Rhymes
Rah Digga, Flipmode
On fire now!
I love to stand up in corners
With thugs, holdin' it down
Or be in golf courses
Sippin' on somethin' poly and contract
Love to floss heavy with shine for that ass
I love to hit and drop bombs right on top of that ass
Wassup
I like to watch my whole crew break bread
We thug marraige, select chicks
Give me this head
??, stack for my crew
Not whips, it's just some of the wild shit
That I be lovin' to do
Wassup
Girl it's gettin' 'round
Heard you wanna get down
Find out for yourself
How I really put it down
And maybe since you're curious
Take a ride and find out what
I do to make you fall
Deep in love
It's the things I do
The things I do, the
Diamonds I wear, the
Bentley, I drive
And the things I do
When we're makin' love
The things I do, the
Diamonds I wear, the
Bentley, I drive
And the things I do
When we're makin' love
One night
Is all I need to make you see
Two nights
Why don't you come home with me
And I'll give you everything your body needs
Mya, Mya, Mya, Mya
I want you to see
Lemme get my handcuffs
Baby put your hands up
Lemme get my blindfold
Gotta keep your eyes closed
We got all night
Comin' three or four times
So many things I wanna do
The things I do, the
Diamonds I wear, the
Bentley, I drive
And the things I do
When we're makin' love
The things I do, the
Diamonds I wear, the
Bentley, I drive
And the things I do
When we're makin' love
Yeah, I like to keep heads guessin'
Give 'em a test and
Blow they whole mind if I find 'em interestin'
Best in the business
Lyrics came as a blessin'
Why you be on the block
Tryna guess who I'm sexin'
Cool type of mami like Thug Castradami
Take a few years to get near the punani
Now, see me with a apple or vanilla Martini
While I get the biggest kicks
Outta chicks tryna be me
(So many things) so many things, so many things
(So many things) so many things, oh yes we are
(So many things) so many things, so many things
(So many things) so many things, so many things
The things I do, the
Diamonds I wear, the
Bentley, I drive
And the things I do
When we're makin' love
The things I do, the
Diamonds I wear, the
Bentley, I drive
And the things I do
When we're makin' love
Lemme get my handcuffs
Baby put your hands up
Lemme get my blindfold
Gotta keep your eyes closed
We got all night
Comin' three or four times
So many things I wanna do
The things I do, the
Diamonds I wear, the
Bentley, I drive
And the things I do
Things I wanna tell you
How you make me feel
How you look to me
And how good it feels
Things I don't wanna tell you
Every little thing's all right
What I was before
And where I was last night
Always things
All these things
Always things
Things I try to tell you
But come out oh so wrong
Seem to feel pretty good
Seem to last pretty long
Things I don't wanna tell you
Now there ain't no doubt
You lit a fire in me
Can't seem to put out
Always things
All these things
Things I long to tell you
But I don't know how
Things I don't wanna tell you
But I have to now
Packed my things
Things I'm bound to tell you
Like that dress looks great on you
I could use some breathing room
But I'm still in love with you
Things I'd never tell you
Down the line someday
You'll be a song I sing
A thing I give away
Pack my things today
(verse 1)
I probaly should'nt say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
relationship we shared
It was awesome but we lost it
Its not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothings ever gonna change
until ya hear, my dear
(chorus 1)

Your hair,your eyes,your old levi's
And when we kiss,im hypnotized
You make me laugh,you make cry
But I guess thats both I'll have to buy
Your hand in mine,when we're intertwined
everythings alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I like the most that you do
Listen too, what we did in 82
Come along way so have you
Often think about, all the things that we have shared
The ups and downs
So thanks to all our friends,
Without you we'd be at home again
Goodbye its not the end,
Hope that we'll see you when we're here again
Goodbye to all our friends, goodbye.
and everything could be much clearer
and everything can be so cold
come see the eyes of innocense
I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared

It's not possible for me not to care, you know I care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change
Until you're here my dear
The 7 things I hate about you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure

We thank you people for being around
Supporting Volbeat with love and hell fire
Gu'fanden do we care
You're all our brothers, sisters and our babies
Going out on the street again with open arms and fists
Sweating out all the whiskey tømmermænd
And the pain that comes with it
But we know who we are and more
Protectors of this band - oh oh oh oh
And we know we're not alone anymore
We got supporters in this rock'n'roll band
This song is for all the ones who's singing out loud
Yeah! We make a lot of noise
Refuse to sit down and be tamed
We still think that we owe you some
So we're making a lot of noise
We sing it out loud we sing it out proud
Sacrificing all the things that we had
Just to do this thing
Not even money for some glue
So we hang all the posters up with jam
But we know who we are and more
Protectors of this band - oh oh oh oh
And we know we're not alone anymore
We got supporters in this rock'n'roll band
This song is for all the ones who's singing out loud
Yeah! We make a lot of noise
Refuse to sit down and be tamed
We still think that we owe you some
So we make a lot of noise
We sing it out loud we sing it out proud
We thank you people for being around
Supporting Volbeat with love and hell fire
Gu'fanden do we care
You're all our brothers, sisters and our babies
So when you sing this song out loud
Remember it's for you, for helvede we are proud
Let's all have a beer you're all our brothers, sisters and our babies
This song is for all the ones who's singing out loud
Yeah! We make a lot of noise
Refuse to sit down and be tamed
We still think that we owe you some
So we're making a lot of noise
Every night I sit here by my window, window
Starin' at the lonely avenue, avenue
Watchin' lovers holdin' hands n' laughin', laughin'
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to, cling to
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to, talkin' to
When I'm not thinkin' of a just how much I love you, love you
Well, I'ma thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
I still can hear the jukebox softly playin', playin'
And the face I see each day belongs to you, belongs to you
Though there's not a single sound and there's nobody else around
Well, it's a just me thinkin' of the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
You got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
I bumped into Joe on Victoria Road
And he told me something
About last weekend, he knows your new
(He said he saw it coming)
And those letters I wrote, so now I know
What you do with them
Well of course he looked, you sliced me up
And then showed it to him
He's changed around the posters on your wall
And finished all but one glass of your wine
His head's been on the pillows that I bought
And now he's seen me say "I love you" all those times
And the old photos in those silly clothes
There must be much more
God, the poems I sent and that massive dent
I left in your door
I don't want them back, you can burn the lot
I just feel betrayed
Well it's been this long and all the flesh has gone
But the bones remain
He's changed around the posters on your wall
And finished all but one glass of your wine
His head's been on the pillows that I bought
And now he's seen me say "I love you" all those times
I still can't get mad at you, no matter how I try
CeCe
All I wanna' be is all that I am (that's okay)
And all I wanna' get is all that I can (but that's unfair)
If you have it all and you lose it all don't lose yourself (there just things)
BeBe
Fame is like a drug and money brings pride (it can kill)
It can dress you up while your hurting inside (and it will)
Finally on the list, maybe now your "it" and no one can tell
All the pain that you hide with those...
CHORUS
Things (yeah)
Yet their only just things (it's what they are)
Cars and diamond rings (their just)
Things (things)
Such a fuss about things (what the fuss, can you show me what...)
Love they bring...
CeCe
What love they bring
BeBe
Now that I arrive ayyy what do I do (I don't know)
Living on a hill yeah changes my view (ain't it so)
And everything I want, everything I see, that's not what I need, yeah (their just things)
CeCe
No, nothing money buy, can make it all real (that's a fact)
When I look around, can't help what I feel (
Got a lot of stuff and when I add it up, tell me what does it mean
'Cause it don't bring me love of those...
CHORUS
Things (no, no)
Yeah their only just things (that's what they are)
Cars and diamond rings (but ya' can't bring love)
Things (oh no)
Such a fuss about things (can you show me what...)
Love they bring...
BeBe- Now you can turn it on, with the clothes you wear
CeCe- But when you take it off, is the loneliness (there is it still there?)
Unison- Your money, my money may take you where you wanna go
BeBe- But in the darkness of the night
CeCe- He's the only one who knows (just! )
CHORUS
Things (oh things)
Yeah their only just things (it's what they are) (oh yeah, yeah)
Cars and diamond rings (what shall we say to these things)
Things
Such a fuss about things (if God is for me...) (Can you show me what...)
Love they bring... (He's better than anything else in the whole wide world)
Let's talk about things your goin' through (hay! ) (talk about it)
Talk about things you wanna do (if I seek him first, it's gonna get better not worse)
Talk about things that make you smile (He'll add these things)
oh you were always there for me you helped whenever you could
you always said you spoiled me rotten i think i turned out good
we'd watch mr. dressup every day and then we'd watch cartoons
oh grandma, grandma my only grandma, this goes out to you.
thanx
you would play piano and i would sing the words to every Christmas song
you would always tell me that i sang it right even when i sung it wrong
we would get on the bus and go downtown and watch the santa claus parade
and then you'd buy me something at the Krezgie's store oh grandma you're so great.
thanx
oh you are the best grandma in the whole world
i never see you without a smile or your hair all curled
oh i'm so glad that you had my dad and that my mother and my father had me
there'll never be another one like you as far as i can see....
thanx
your blueberry jam sandwiches are great and your cherry cheesecake is the bomb
i love your date cookies with a passion you're just like my second mom
you taught me table manners and all that crap but now i'll never get confused
you're always there for me with a big heart, big heart grandma i love you...

Thanks for letting me down
Thanks for letting me down again
And if you could be here today
What would you say
Thanks for leting me down
And now you're bringing me round to this
And if you could be here today
What would you say
Hey the streets and the traffic signs
Are twisting the roads outside
In a circle on it's own
So I've walked in a flesh parade
I've drifted in altered states
Anywhere I'm blown
Thanks for letting me down
It's a sin
You're bringing me round to this
If you could be here today
What would you say
Hey the morning is cracked and sprained
The day is crazy paved
And the evening falls like stones
So I've walked in a flesh parade
I've drifted in altered states
Anywhere I'm blown
Thanks
Well I’ve been wading in your waves up to my chin,
sinking slowly deeper as the waves roll in.
Losing sight of land, I’m wondering,
“How’d I ever trick myself to get back in?”
Believe me, there’s no harder thing in this life
than believing that happiness is within my arm’s reach
and seeing that there is beauty in this world that I have been missing,
and I don’t want to miss no more.
These are the days that are putting wrinkles on my face,
and I’ve been forced to admit that the slightest weight could bury me.
And now the leaves are turning on the trees
and there’s a map between me and what I need.
I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.
I’m throwing darts at a map,
trying to remember where I left my heart last.
So when the van’s packed up and the tank is filled with gas,
we can make our way from the east coast to the west.
And you could call…
Or I’ll see you all next summer or next fall,
and we can talk about the year we spent apart
since the last time every city stole my heart.
These are the days that are putting wrinkles on my face,
and I’ve been forced to admit that the slightest weight could bury me.
And now the leaves are turning on the trees
and there’s a map between me and what I need.
I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.
'Cause these are the days that are putting wrinkles on my face,
and I’ve been forced to admit that the slightest weight could bury me.
And now the leaves are turning on the trees
and there’s a map between me and what I need.
I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.
These are the days that are putting wrinkles on my face,
and I’ve been forced to admit that the slightest weight could bury me.
And now the leaves are turning on the trees
and there’s a map between me and what I need.
I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.
Yeah I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.
One day on one tombstone, all our names should go
We shared a life
The beauty and the ugliness
Through all the pain and death
Birth of a child
CHORUS
Thanks for throwing me the line
When I've lost sight of it
You're the only reason I can exhale
And now suddenly, oh, when I find
That the outcome's just not right
From what I just did
You're the only thing I can breathe through
And here my sweet friends, a few lines of poetry
It may be laughable, but thanks for laughing with me
And here's to the next time I wrap myself around a tree
I know that you'll be there with bells on
Yeah, to pull me off
CHORUS
You can tell me a story I've heard before
I'll insult your mother
Then you can tell me where to go
One day well on one tombstone
All our names should go
We shared a life
The beauty and the ugliness
Through all we've been and with
The birth of a child
CHORUS
Thanks for throwing me the line when I've lost sight of it
You're the only reason I can exhale
And now, suddenly, oh, when I find that the outcome's just not right
From what I just did
You're the only thing I can breathe through
You're heaven, my sweet friends, a few lines of poetry
It may be laughable, but thanks for laughing with me
Yes, and the next time I wrap myself around a tree
And I know that you'll be there with bells on
Yeah, to pull me off
CHORUS
And you can tell me a story I've heard before
I was such a motherfucker then
And you didn't tell me where to go
CHORUS (x2)
Here comes the thunder,
and here comes the fear.
Another year she wonders
why is she still here?
"Boys will be boys," she thinks,
"what can ever come of this?
I've tried so hard to makes this work
but nothing ever seems to fit..."
So many explanations
and so little resolve.
A shudder at the slightest inkling
that you should get involved.
"oh, but I'm alright," she cried,
"I just feel a little compromised.
When I was a little girl,
I never had to try.."
(Is that all you want?
Is that all you need?)
Look at all these things we own,
Look at all the things we own
you know these things don't make a home.
Here comes the thunder
and here comes the fear,
another year he wonders,
"why is she still here?
oh, but girls will be girls," he thinks,
"what will ever come of this?
Thanks to the hand that feeds ya
Give the dog a bone
Thanks to the man that gives you
Haven't got your own
That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yes to the man above you
Hope you pass the test
No to the man below you
Leave him with the rest
That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man, yeah, oh, yeah
Everybody knows, everybody goes
To think about today
But that ain't the way it should be
It's changin' every way, yeah
Thanks to them that feed you
Give the dog a bone
Thanks to them that give you
You haven't got your own
That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man
Invite yourself in like a bad case of fleas
Parasitic ploy fills and obvious need
Set me up
Cut me down
Cash me in
Spit me out
Thanks for nothing
Stealing the fire from the unsuspecting
Freak
Opportune time to perpetuate the breed
Set me up
Cut me down
Cash me in
Spit me out
Thanks for nothing
The pressure builds
The balance sets
The level tilts
As thoughts compress
Try your best you will
To bury my head in the sand
Keep me lost in the dark
With the promise of a new spark
Played me
Drained me
Tried your best
To win
Played me
drained me
You try
Plowing your way through a delicate maze
Crushing the dreams that a lifetime made
Rest will come away as the planets fall in line
Karma piling up will catch in time
Set me up
Cut me down
Cash me in
Spit me out
Thanks for nothing
Played me
Drained me
Tried your best
To win
Played me
Drained me
You try
This thought’s a memory from a little boy
lying warm, beneath the sheets
big hands come, and tuck me in
a warm kiss brushes across my cheek
CHORUS
But now I’m older and I sleep alone
and I wait, but no one comes
then those memories, they come and tuck me in
with warm hands and kisses sweat
Each time I see you the years fade away
you’re there to guard me and keep me safe
fix my scraped knee and send me off to school
show me love, watch me eat
CHORUS
I wonder what you were like when you were young
Would we have played, and got along?
Would I still see what I see in you?
Or can I see because of you?
and so I thank you for your ever present care
and so I thank you for being there
we were lucky to have parents such as you
I thank you for introducing me to
something I´ve never had before
A place where I can go hang out
hang out with the boys
where you had my back and I had yours
went to shows arm in arm
and guess what noone ever frowned
Thank you for the records and all the fanzines
with photos of the cuties that grace our
hot ass scene
but most of all thanks for the beefy cake
drawings of straight edge looking gods it´s
like a Tom of Finland for teens
Pile up to sing along
out sweaty bodies in unison
while your hands would
slip their way to my crotch
As the rain keeps pouring down, everything's so sad and cold
Learning to live with it all, learning to live with it all
Sometimes it seemes like it all stands still
Sometimes it feels like, my own will
Awaiting it all to come, damaged as life upon
Never will we be free, TORTURED!
All the tears that we've shed, reflecting ourselves within
Pale, white, by myself outburned..
The things we touch makes us feel nothing more than
Than the shiver down our spines
The things we touch makes us feel nothing more than
Than the shiver down our spines
All the tears that we've shed, reflecting our selves within
Pale, white, by myself outburned..
As the rain keeps pouring down, everything's so sad and cold
Learning to live with it all, learning to live with it all
Sometimes it seemes like it all stands still
Sometimes it feels like, my own will
The things we touch makes us feel nothing more than
Than the shiver down our spines
The things we touch makes us feel nothing more than
Thanks for keepin' track of me
Thanks for givin' a hang about me
Thanks for sayin' that You love me
Thanks, just thanks
Thanks for lettin' me know You care
Thanks for always bein' there
Thanks for making me do my share
Thanks, just thanks
Can't thank You enough
I'm high from You liftin' me up
Thanks for sayin' what You said
Thanks for clearin' out my head
Thanks for givin' me hope instead
Thanks, just thanks
Thanks You left me who I was
Thanks You showed me what a smile does
Thanks You loved me just because
Thanks, just thanks
Thanks for cryin' when I bleed
Thanks for wavin' when I leave
Thanks for bein' what I believe
I forgot about love gone wrong
And where I felt I did belong
I forgot the best days of my life
And how that it's all at a price
All I got left is promises and memories
That make me ill
You know that faith can move mountains
I can't even walk over this hill
There's not much more I can do
Cut out my heart and put it on a plate for you, yeah...
That's another ten things
I don't want to hear
Ten things
Ten things I wanted to be good
Ten things
And I always do what you tell me to
And I kill myself trying
Finding it hard to respect myself
And I feel the love I had dying
I break myself into pieces for you
When I screw myself into you
And I taste the lies on my lips
And I fall into the abyss for you, yeah...
That's another ten things
I don't want to hear
Ten things
Ten things I wanted to be good
Ten things
That's another ten things
I don't want to hear
Ten things
Ten things I wanted to be good
You say
this time we have it love
we have it all now
we found the answer love...
All my time and effort to
find the answers just for you
The thoughts I have in my mind
The things I can't leave behind
Now the sun is hanging low in the sky
It's shining red love,
it's time to call it a day
we are forced to face our demons
and I've been meaning
When you're away
When you're astray
Alone these things you can't pay
But all the sufferings He made
sufficient for you
A life you gain
Thanksthanks cause happiness is
your promise
And it's time to stop and think
What you've done
And what He still gives
He's faithful, loving, forginving
That's something you can't do
without Him
There's nothing you can do
without Him
Thanks, thanks cause happiness is your promise
Thanks, thanks cause peace

Wappa subiru wappa x 2
Dance to the rithym, we´re gonna get high and no matter
I say HEY! Stand your ground now, feeling it all up
inside the sound
Wellcome on board
Free up your soul

I’ll never let you go and never lose you
You give me everything
Find it for me
You give me everything
I need warm
Grab you with stranglehold
Squeeze till blue bruises
You'll understand how much emotions I feel to you
On the last days
I understood how much do you mean for me
I was a fool I didn't realize
You are the air I breathe
You are the air I breathe
And until I breath
Go near them and don't stop
Never lose
And you must take your luck till the end
Many things are impossible without you
I'm weak I don't have enough strength
I need you my friends
My sincere eyes
And time has come
Has come
When i repent and apologize
No need to hide and be ashamed
we have to wait for things to come
but we don´t know
what we´re looking for
we have to wait for things to come
but we don´t know
I made the effort but my standard's never good enough, is it babe?
I left you stranded, couldn't handle what you had 'til it's missing babe.
I'm comfortably numb how I am, without anyone in my hand
But I'll forever miss your fantasy
Oh, I'll be quiet
While you're out tonight
But don't crawl back crying
You were out of sight & mind
So thanks for nothing babe.
I set aside the fight but it poisoned like an august wildfire
When I put myself together I could tell our ties were divided
I can't help but push you away, I'm scared to repeat endlessly
But I'll forever miss your fantasy
[Chorus]
My eyes grew heavy and the room spins steady as I
Tried my best to say goodbye for the very last time
Thanks thanks I give you thanks for all you've done
I am so blessed my soul is at rest
Oh lord I give you thanks
Thank you lord for the strength you give
Simply carry on thru life's toils and tests
The worst and best you never left me alone
You'll always ride beside me and hear me when I pray
And since I first began you've been my dearest friend
I give you all my praise
Thanks thanks I give you thanks for all you've done
I am so blessed my soul is at rest
Oh lord I give you thanks
I give you thanks for this moment
And I will continually
For each day I live you'll praise to give
I'm blessed abundantly
I can't forget this moment when in my life you make such change
And since the spirit came I've not been the same
I just wanna give you thanks
Thanks thanks I give you thanks for all you've done
I am so blessed my soul is at rest
I never thought you'd say hello
But you sure did at that picture show
Next thing i know I'm in a foolish dream
And i didn't even know
I never thought you'd say my name
You were so wild couldn't be tamed
But each time I go I just come back the same
And again and again, yeah
Thanks for being there when I was down and out
You gave me trust when I had my doubts
Thanks for all you do, thanks for letting me be myself
And Thanks for being you.
And you were there when I lost control
You said together we could take it all
I could not see what you could always believe
But now I see and I believe, yeah
Thanks for being there when I was down and out
You gave me trust when I had my doubts
Thanks for all you do, thanks for letting me be myself
And Thanks for being you.
You were there when the rain fell down
When the storm clouds were covering my heart somehow
I will take good care of you now
I will love you forever and always
And look at that you said hello
You were ther when I lost control
Can't count the times that you said my name
We have it all in this crazy love game!
Thanks for being there when I was down and out
You gave me trust when I had my doubts
Thanks for all you do, thanks for letting me be myself
