First Experience...And Yet So Young!
What Happens to Innocence When Young Passions Rage Out of Control?
Algebra (from Arabic al-jebr meaning "reunion of broken parts") is the branch of mathematics concerning the study of the rules of operations and relations, and the constructions and concepts arising from them, including terms, polynomials, equations and algebraic structures. Together with geometry, analysis, topology, combinatorics, and number theory, algebra is one of the main branches of pure mathematics.
Elementary algebra, often part of the curriculum in secondary education, introduces the concept of variables representing numbers. Statements based on these variables are manipulated using the rules of operations that apply to numbers, such as addition. This can be done for a variety of reasons, including equation solving. Algebra is much broader than elementary algebra and studies what happens when different rules of operations are used and when operations are devised for things other than numbers. Addition and multiplication can be generalized and their precise definitions lead to structures such as groups, rings and fields, studied in the area of mathematics called abstract algebra.
The Basics ( /ˈbæzɪtʃ/ BAZZ-ich) are a three-piece band from Melbourne, Australia, formed by Wally De Backer and Kris Schroeder in 2002. Their style has been described as anything from 'indie-pop' to 'rock'n'roll' to 'pop-rock', though their records show they span a wide range of genres, including reggae, ska, country, and electro-pop. They are "recognised as one of Australia's hardest-working bands".
With close to 1000 shows in their ten-year career, their live performances are well-known for their sense of humour and energy.
The Basics were formed after Kris met Wally at a party in Melbourne. The event was to see off the young aspiring producer, who was about to depart for Los Angeles, and together with a number of musician friends, the two jammed on some blues-rock standards. Later that night, they bonded over a mutual love of The Beatles, 70s and 80s cartoon theme songs and old Sierra adventure games.
Initially, they played around Melbourne as an acoustic guitar/drums combo, starting at The Opposition in Frankston and the House of Fools in Footscray, where in late 2002 they met Michael Hubbard and later invited him to join them on electric guitar. Though lacking any real experience with the instrument, Kris willingly purchased his first bass guitar, and the trio was born. During this time, the group start performing songs with more complicated three-part harmony.
Why can't you just Forget about algebra It's all about you now And all your talk Of logic and formula Could never help you now Not anymore
Cause you were always On the run From the darkness In your heart So you wear it On the outside Of your chest
I have taken The liberty To tell your ghost to go Bribing them with Sunlight and sympathy They promised not to show For a while
Cause you were always The little boy Who couldn't keep it To yourself So your heart Is on the outside Of your chest
At the speed of light You moved inside my home Nothing is alright If you are still alone
And your heart Is greater than The sum of you And everyone
Why can't you just forget about algebra
It's all about you now
And all your talk of logic and formula
Could never help you now
Not anymore
'Cause you were always
On the run
From the darkness
In your heart
So you wear it
On the outside
Of your chest
I have taken the liberty
To tell your ghosts to go
Brighten with sunlight and simpathy
They promise not to show
For a while
'Cause you were always
The little boy
Who couldn't keep it
To yourself
So your heart
Is on the outside
Of your chest
At the speed of love
You moved inside my home
And nothing is alright
If you are still alone
And your heart
Is waiting that
The sound of you and everyone
Is still you're always on the wrong
From the poison in your love
And your heart
Is on the outside
Why can't you just
Forget about algebra
It's all about you now
And all your talk
Of logic and formula
Could never help you now
Not anymore
Cause you were always
On the run
From the darkness
In your heart
So you wear it
On the outside
Of your chest
I have taken
The liberty
To tell your ghost to go
Bribing them with
Sunlight and sympathy
They promised not to show
For a while
Cause you were always
The little boy
Who couldn't keep it
To yourself
So your heart
Is on the outside
Of your chest
At the speed of light
You moved inside my home
Nothing is alright
If you are still alone
And your heart
Is greater than
The sum of you
And everyone
But still you're always
On the run
From the poison
In your lungs
And your heart
Is on the outside
Kept back by the deeper rumblin's in my breast
Bad vibes puttin' mad pressure on my chest
Fly time is a rhythm clockin' exocet
Mad lines from a stranger you've already met
Tribal is the plate I'm eatin' from, you guessed
I'm full yet I cannot fit inside my vest
'Where's he at? Is the question I refuse to get
Here I'm at, right here, in your headphone set, ah
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
So we'll take a crack at this now
Two truths make a lie, first you die then fly
Cross the sky jambalaya with your chocolate pie
Suck it deep, don't let it interrupt your sleep
You'll get fleas and disease when you're countin' your sheep
If you please, don't please 'em run 'em off the ranch
Let them grow like leaves then rip 'em off the branch
Fly time is a rhythm clockin' do-si-do
B-boys rocking with the freak-freak, so now you know
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
So we'll take a crack at this now
It's the P H A R M A K O N
The remedy, yes the cure from the poisonous pen
C O M M U N I C A T I O N
What you'll find inside my rhyme is enemy and friend
Going N to the E the B the U.L.A.
Burning all the competition with the rhymes that I say
H the double O the l the I the G.A.N
Now the soul is what will signify the hooligan
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
We'll take a crack at this now
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
You'll try to diss take a crack at this not algebra or calculus
Oooh
Got me day dreamin thinkin bout rings and
Got me day dreamin...
Aaahhh
Got me day dreamin thinking bout rings and
Got me day dreamin...
[Verse 1:]
Here I go waking up yawning 6 in the morning
With you on my mind
I'm laying in bed scarf still on my head
Barely got the cold out my eyes
Reflecting... bout the conversation we had last night
And I'm reminded of why
I do the things I do just for you, for you
I don't have to think twice
[Chorus:]
I do it cause he real with me
I do cause he still with me
I do cause I should
I do cause your good for me, good for me
I do it cause I trust (ya)
I do it cause I must
And I'm doin it for us
I do it cause I'm grateful... willing and able
I do it for you cause you do it for me
[Verse 2:]
Got me day dreamin'
Thinking bout things and switchin up my whole life style
I call you on the phone on my way home
Treating you is on my mind
I'll be cutting up greens, makin pinto beans
I know you like rice and gravy
Be at my door before eight you bring the cake
Babe tonight will be fine...
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
U make it so easy for me
And I wanna do the same for you
U are simply perfect for me
And I must say sincerely
Everything I do, I do it for you
[Chorus x2]
Oooh
Got me day dreamin thinkin bout rings and
Got me day dreamin...
Aaahhh
Got me day dreamin thinkin bout rings and
Got me daydreamin...

Sometimes I see you
You r so happy when I'm around
Then you change yo mind and look at me
Like I let you down
You used to return phone calls
Visited me often
Something's changed its not the same
I just don't know
Now I don't understand you
Why you do the things you do
I never know
Been through this a time or two
Don't wanna feel like this no more
If I ask a question
You ask the same question
Why don't you answer
Instead of all this back and forth
Here we go again
Both of us pullin'
In different directions
In a game of tug of war
Why you keep fightin'
So hard to be right when
It doesn't matter
Tell me what we fightin' for
You bout to loose me
And I'm goin' be lonely so why do we both keep
Pullin' in this tug of war
Holdin' on to you
Is like I'm gambling my heart
If I let go
I will fall
Hard
I'll hurt myself ooh
Never forget who
Let go of me
And never said I'm sorry boo
Now I don't understand you
Why you do the things you do
I never know
Been through this a time or two
Don't wanna feel like this no more
If I ask a question
You ask the same question
Why don't you answer
Instead of all this back and forth
Here we go again
Both of us pullin'
In different directions
In a game of tug of war
Why you keep fightin'
So hard to be right when
It doesn't matter
Tell me what we fightin' for
You bout to loose me
And I'm gone be lonely so why do we both keep
Pullin' in this tug of war
Let's hold on or move on together
Do what it takes to make it better
If you keep one end I will give in
Or we let go then we both win
If I ask a question
You ask the same question
Why don't you answer
Instead of all this back and forth
Here we go again
Both of us pullin'
In different directions
In a game of tug of war
Why you keep fightin'
So hard to be right when
It doesn't matter
Tell me what we fightin' for
You bout to loose me
And I'm gone be lonely so why do we both keep
This song's about a friend
A friend I've known since I was a child
He and I would talk about our lives
And what we thought love was all about
He was my boy
I love that boy to death and
Even now not much has changed
Except for how I see him with my heart
Cause now my eyes don't see the same
But he has no idea
How I feel inside
So I go on with my foolish pride
Walking away
Though deep inside
I wanna stay
This day I was prepared
And so vulnerable as I could be
But when he stopped by
I couldn't even speak
Cause of what stood right in front of me
To my suprise
He brought along someone
Oh some random chick that he just met
As usual I smiled and shook her hand
Covering up my heart again
Cuz he has no idea
How I feel inside
So I go on with my foolish pride
Walking away
Though deep inside
I wanna stay
But he has no idea
How I feel inside
So I go on with my foolish pride
So I go on all alone at night
So I go on living knowing it aint right
So I just let my heart continue to hide
Knowing my heart is so empty inside
I know he should be here by my side
I should be holding him instead of my pillow tight
But my foolish pride
Makes me walk away
Though deep inside
I just wanna stay
Oooh
Though deep inside
(These feelings)*
Why do I have (these feelings)?
(Ooh oh I've been)
Patiently waiting on the right guy.
He says I'm precious but I think he's lying.
(Just) Just to get my attention and make me fall not to mention.
He got crazy intentions.
I couldn't trust him so I didn't want him.
Surely I may not (surely) know exactly what I want (what I want).
Surely I know (oh, oh, oh) exactly what I don't.
Still I haven't found what I've (been) been looking for.
(For but I) But I can't do this no more.
(I'm a just) I'm a just run and hide.
(Go far away to) hide.
(True love I'll never) find.
(Gonna pack my heart and) hide.
(I'm a just) I'm a just run.
I done done it all before.
Wined and dined, even ignored.
I played the role of a bad girl and snuck some boys out the back door.
So somebody would love me.
I got smart and start thinking.
I wasn't smiling or feeling free.
Shawty this ain't love, yo.
And I ain't happy.
Surely I may not (surely) know exactly what I want (what I want).
Surely I know (oh, oh) exactly what I don't.
Still I haven't found what I've (been) been looking for.
(Oh but I) But I can't do this no more.
(I'm a just) I'm a just run and hide.
(Go far away to) hide.
(True love I'll never) find.
(Gonna pack my heart and) hide.
(I'm a just) I'm a just run.
That's what I get for being so picky (so picky).
Thought I found Mr. Right but he tricked me (he tricked me).
Smiled in my face somehow I fell hard (hard).
I'm hurt again and right back at start (start).
Went a different pace and lost a lot of time.
I ran the wrong race and lost all my mind (my heart).
I gotta get back.
I can't hide that (uh oh).
I gotta find it.
I guess I gotta pack: toothbrush, guitar and a big comb.
Who's gonna look for me when I'm gone.
(Ooh oh, still) Still I haven't found (I haven't found) what I've been looking for.
(What I've been looking for) But I can't do this (oh no) no more.
I'm a just run and hide.
(Gonna go far away, yeah) hide.
(True love I'll never) find.
(I'm gonna pack my bags and) hide.
(I'm a just) I'm a just run.
Still (oh, still) I haven't found what I've (I have) been looking for.
But I can't do this no (no ooh oh) more.
I'm a just run and hide.
(Go far away) hide.
(True love I'll never) find.
(I'm gonna pack my bags) hide.
(I got something to tell) you we've been friends for quite some time and now I see you
Differently there's a cloudy picture
That's becoming clearer to me I hesitate to tell You feel
Because I don't want you to be afraid and I don't want to make the mistake of being to shy to say.
I think I love you and I don't ever want to let you go
I think I need you in ways that I am unable to show
I think love you and I want everybody that we know to know
Just how you make me feel just how you make me feel.
If you make it so frustrating because you're so spoiled like me
And it drives me insane when we agree to disagree
When My words don't move together to make much sense
You recite the perfect sentence to put my mind at ease.
.see I think I love you I love you and I don't ever want to let you go
I think I need you in ways that I am unable to show
I think I love you and I want everybody that we know to know just how you make me feel
Just how you make me feel just how you make me feel
Time and time again I'm trying to convince to myself that what I feel it does make sense
To me sometimes. It's difficult to me like when days are here to stay and you're bringing me my smile
But when tomorrow comes around and somehow you let me down it's confusing
Baby you're driving me crazy
I think I love you I love you and I don't ever want to let you go
I think I need you in ways that I am unable to show
I think I love you and I want everybody that we know too know
How you make me feel
Just you make me feel
I think) I think I love you and I want everybody to know I think
I think I think I need you in ways that I'm unable to show
I think I Think I love you this is how you make how you make me feel
How you make how you make me feel OOOOhhh
I think I think I love you baby I think I need you ohh
Those days were so comfortable
Never had to worry much
Nights at time would impersonal
Wondering where I was
But my heart would follow anything relatable
I know I let you down
Never related you to pain
Now my need to please is so visible with my life in your hands
Try me again
Come back don't leave me this way [Repeat: x 2]
Give me one more chance to prove
Why there's no one that comes before you
Oh will you forgive me for what I've done
In the past I would not ask for nothing in return but your love
Come back don't leave me this way [Repeat: x 2]
I long for you so
That it seems like you never left
Oh my sorrow makes me second guess
How I felt so if you left please comeback
(I might give out, but I'll never give in...)
[Verse 1:]
What am I gonna do?
I'm sitting here missing you.
It's taking everything in me to not call and say to you,
"I'm sorry for what I did, it was wrong what I did."
But we all make mistakes and I hope it's not to late, but...
[Chorus:]
My pride won't let me call you and apologize.
It's selfish to say, but my pride won't let me come to you
And look you in the eyes and say, "Baby, I'm sorry."
[Verse 2:]
Want it back... you and me.
We were mean to be lovers forever, doin this together.
It was foolish to think that you'd put up with me.
I want you to want me back, but I'll never tell you that because...
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Oh I wish I was the kind of woman who
Says "I'm sorry to you, " it's selfish but true.
Oh I wish I had the personality to get down on my knees
And say, "Please forgive me, but... "
(Ba da da ba da da, ba ba, ba da da ba da da)
It's funny how some things stay on your mind
It's funny how some moments hang in time
I remember when we met
How we became good friends
But I don't remember when
When you started to go astray, and for what reason
that you finally went away?
Why did you leave me?
If it were anyone else
I could cut all my ties
But you're a part of my life
And it's starting to feel like
Everywhere I go, I hear your name
And I play it off like things are the same
Pretending to know the reason why
That it's not...
Whoa...
What happened, baby?
What happened, honey?
To the way things used to be?
What happened, baby?
What happened, honey?
To the way things used to be?
Every day I try to block you out my head
I haven't seen you
I just don't know what I said
We used to spend time
We used to be fine
You had my heart
Now we don't even talk
Like we used to
Baby, this is not what I'm used to
Tell me, where did it go
I'd give anything to know
That it was not all in vain
And there was a reason
That you went away
Everywhere I go, I hear your name
And I play it off like things are the same
Pretending to know the reason why
That it's not...
What happened, baby?
What happened, honey?
To the way things used to be?
What happened, baby?
What happened, honey?
To the way things used to be?
See, I tried
Over and over again
To get some understanding
So I can know where we're standing
So...
What happened, baby?
What happened, honey?
To the way things used to be?
What happened, baby?
What happened, honey?
To the way things used to be?
What happened, baby?
What happened, honey?
To the way things used to be?
What happened, baby?
What happened, honey?
To the way things used to be?
What happened to our love?
At this time*
In this place you are, are mine
And at this moment in my life, you belong to me...
Ohhhh weee... Ohh,.
I don't think it's wrong
I can't help it
I ask my heart
If she felt it (I did)
I can only ask for so much (please)
I will only settle for this touch (right here)
My arms brag to each thought about how you feel
From conversations I know what they feel is real
The past it didn't last
The present went too fast
The future so will be I wish that far I could see but
At this time at this time
In this place, you are mine
And at this moment
In my life
You belong to me
Oh to me...
Forgive me if my hungry complex is what you eat
I pray that for moments you will only be consumed by me
Often times we receive and then regret
I haven't had a reason yet
This is the time God meant for us to be (night now)
This is the place he allowed us to me meet (right here)
I may never get another chance
I just hope you understand that at this time
At this time
In this place, you are mine
And at this moment
In my life
You belong to me
Oh to me...
At this time
And in this place
You are mine
And this moment
In my life you belong to me
Oh one more time... sing it
At this time
And in this place
You are mine
And this moment
In my life you belong to me
Who really cares what others may say
Probably missed a chance on feeling this way
About love what I know is true
Give em time and it can happen with them too
The deepest feeling that you've ever known
The greatest passion that's ever been shown
A flame that flickers and never leaves you alone
The weirdest place oh yes I call it my home
At this time
And in this place
You are mine
And this moment
