Stop, drop and roll and I'll tell you where I'm coming from.
You've done a lot of yelling pointed at my eardrum. I'll offer all of me that you can lay your eyes on. I'll get right back to you once I get my disguise on. Hearts on fire you'll learn End up with heartburn Wind me up, my dear. Had it up to here. Wind it up. I can't believe that you'd believe that I would fake it. Wait, 'less you count the things I said when we were naked. Run, run away from everything we'd ever hoped for. I can't believe that this is what people elope for. Throw your sticks and stones Throw your mobile phone Wind me up, my dear. Had it up to here. Wind it up. If you are leaving then I wish you luck I hope someone can make your heart warm I was a baby when I learnt to suck But you have raised it to an art form. Yes I'm out of line You're out of your mind Wind me up, my dear. Had it up to here. Wind me up, my dear. Had it up to here. Wind it up. |

The Old Apartment Broke into the old apartment This is where we used to live Broken glass, broke and hungry Broken hearts and broken bones This is where we used to live Why did you paint the walls? Why did you clean the floor? Why did you plaster over the hole i punched in the door? This is where we used to live Why did you keep the mousetrap? Why did you keep the dishrack? These things used to be mine I guess they still are, i want them back! Broke into the old apartment Forty-two starirs from the street Crooked landing, crooked landlord Narrow laneway filled with crooks This is where we used to live Why did they pave the lawn? Why did they change to locks? Why did i have to break it, I only came here to talk This is where we used to live How is the neighbour downstaris? ow is her temper this year? I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun I know we don't live here anymore We bought an old house on the Danforth She loves me a her body keeps me warm I'm happy there But this is where we used to live Broke into the old apartment Tore the phone out of the wall Only memories, fading memories Blending into dull tableux I want them back |

The moon is full
But there is an incompleteness The days are beautiful But I feel a bitter sweetness If I had a wish, or even a choice, I'd wake up to the sound of your voice Oh, how I miss waking up to the sound of your voice I let you down And fell right off your good list I hope each day you'll find peace And forgiveness The alarm clock rings What a lonely noise And I long for the sound of your voice Oh, how I miss waking up to the sound of your voice Take it from me: there's not much to see In this void The saying goes There will be other dances This little song is about Second chances Just say the word And I will rejoice And wake up to the sound of your voice Oh, how I miss waking up To the sound To the sound To the sound To the sound Waking up to the sound of your voice Take it from me: there's not much to see In this void |

"The silence, the terror, the pain, the horror As your mom comes downstairs" Enid we never really knew each other anyway Enid we never really knew each other anyway It took me a year to believe it was over And it took me two more to get over the loss. I took a beating when you wrote me those letters And every time I remembered the taste of your lipgloss. Chorus Enid we never really knew each other anyway Enid we never really knew each other anyway Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway But Enid we really never knew each other anyway There were times when I wanted to hurt you , And there were times when I know that I did. There were times when I thought I would kill you, But can you blame me I was only a kid. Tell me why we never really respected each other And tell me why I never believed you were a person too I always thought that you fancied my brother. I may not have liked it, oh but memory is a stranage thing, oh And Enid? Enid I remember you. Chorus It took me a year to believe it was over, And it took me two more to get over the loss. I took a beating when you wrote me those letters, And every time you told me to get lost. Now it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was three inches shorter then, And it's not fair to say it's 'cause I was only fifteen years old. But maybe it's fair to say there was a lack of communication; I took a phone message, oh and speaking of communication, oh, And Enid, Enid you caught a cold. I can get a job, I can pay the phone bills I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol I can work overtime, I can work in a mine I can do it all for you, But I don't want to. Chorus I can teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to knit, How to make things that you never ever made before Enid, I can teach you how to use cookie cutters To make crazy things out of Play-Doh Little houses, little farms, little accessories for your mom, For your Barbie set, for your friends and your family Enid, I can teach you how to snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe, But I don't want to! I took you dancing, paid for your night class... |

A friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs, But I've never been good with plants Her next presentation, a new dictionary She circled the word "romance" So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic, I shaved her name in my head As she beheld it, she said I misspelled it; Need more be said? (chorus) These apples are delicious! "As a matter of fact they are," she said Can all this fruit be free? She wrote me a letter as big as a phone book I've never been big on mail I sent her a postcard from somewhere near Lethbridge, And wondered if it still went by rail I've never been frightened of being enlightened But some things can go too far Though sometimes I stammer and mix up my grammar, You get what my meanings are (chorus) I'm not trying to sing a love song -- I'm trying to sing in tune I know I am sometimes headstrong Falling in love, catching fire -- I want to be consumed Wondering will I ever tire, will I ever tire? (chorus) |

I tend the wheat field that makes your bread
I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed Mother Nature & Mother Earth Are two of three women who dictate what I'm worth [Chorus] I'm the farmer. I work in the fields all day Don't mean to alarm her But I know it was meant to be this way You cried a tear, I wiped it dry I put you up upon a pedestal so high If you should waiver, if you should sway I'd catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away You signed your picture with an O and X I bet you don't write ""love"" each time you sign your cheques [Chorus] All of this corn I grow I grow it all for you I took a hatchet to the radio I did it all for you You could have written back, You could have said ""thank you"" I guess you've got better things, Better things to do You say you love me, is that the truth? Although they've heard the songs, my friends want living proof I know your address, I ring the bell I bring you flowers and a .22 with shells I'm the farmer I work in the fields all day Never wanted to harm her But I know it was meant to be this way |

One day, I will build a fountain - drink and never grow old Then I'll market an elixir that will eliminate the common cold Find your sickness on my list, pay up-front and make a wish One day I will work with animals, All the tests I'm gonna do All my stuff's completely natural, and when we're done we'll boil 'em down for glue we can use to re-adhere your lips to mine if you were here Chorus: There's a lot I will never do Some fantastic, I know it's true But not as much as my want to be with you I can't stand to be in line long, so I built a new machine It just measures up the distance, and then eliminates the folks between One day I'll construct a satellite, and I'll name it after you 'Cause you are the greatest friend of all, except for when you split my lip in two To see the look upon your face as I launch you into space (Chorus) Bye bye, self-respect I haven't had much of it since you left I missed out on the best of you Some day I will find the secret to your social chemistry Then I'll print it on a T-shirt, and it'll make you wanna be with me And if I wear it past your work, you'll see other guys are jerks Much like pheremones for flies, you will not avoid my eyes (Chorus) Bye bye, self-respect I haven't had much of it since you left I missed out on the best of you (x2) Bye bye (repeated) |

You left Billy with the kid And all the selfless things you did with Billy You left your home town in the spring And turned your back on everything You thought your life would just go by Without a pause to wonder, don't be silly But you can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat He came down from his retreat She saw him later on the street He said "You are the only one to recognize that I'm the son" So she bent down and kissed his feet And then that night, between the sheets she told him You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat 40 days at sea Then she turned and said to me "If we make it back I'll renounce Jack Kerouac And all that romantic crap Like I'm an artist don't look back" Now we're living somewhere else We keep opinions to ourselves But still we seek a sneaky peek at heaven When the working week defeats us If you think growing up is tough Then you've just not grown enough, baby You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat |

I'm not surprised it's come to this
Sooner or later there must be another's kiss Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss Yeah, great I won't be takin' the bait I'd rather drown And I will not turn my whole life upside down Imagine everything you've done Under a microscope on view for everyone And if the King of Circumspection's here He's come in vain I won't be sharing the blame I wear the crown And I will not turn my whole life upside down Nothing's good enough for me To shake me from complacency I make my mind up and I'll never be The kind of man who'd make a choice For if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my voice If each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hope I won't be needing a rope I'm gagged and bound And I will not turn my whole life upside down And if the genie were set free And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me I'd bury my three wishes deep down in the ground So I will not turn my whole life upside down Though I appreciate the aim Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame I'd only use it to make everything the same again So don't applaud till the end I'm not around Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down Nothing's good enough for me To shake me from complacency I've made my mind up I won't make a sound |

I left you in the rain
Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas Your Reflection in the pane Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas Apples, pears, prunes, and plums His favorites foods I told his mom Wait for him at the end of the slide When he climbs the stairs, stay by his side I heard you got some rain Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas Look like we're in for the same Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas I'm going early won't wave good-bye Tell him I love him; look him in the eye I've learned how to mourn; I've learned how to miss Let me dissapear with this kiss "Tuesday A mix of sun and cloud With a forty percent chance of showers Early morning then sunny Wind west twenty kilometers an hour Gusting to 44 High of 22 UV index 50 and moderate" Bird ,book ,and basketball Squirrel, dog and learning how to crawl I found my heart when he came Let me leaving leave like rain I watched you from the train Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas When I come back I'll see you again Peterbourgh and the Kawarthas I'll listen for you every morning I'll listen for you every morning I'll listen for you every morning I'll listen for you every morning |

Some people are just all show
Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching But it's all bark and no tree What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace? It's all peace and love and limousines You got the right message, but the wrong intentions How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch? I think it's time we had a little intervention with you Hey now, wake up And lose the makeup She makes you wanna know her When you don't know what it's worth Now you really wanna show her How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite) There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving It's a tight circle of the chosen few Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst? Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour Though it looks delicious, something smells bad I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you Hey now, wake up And lose the makeup She makes you wanna know her When you don't know what it's worth Now you really wanna show her How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite) What's it like to love you When there's no one else above you And no one gets to know you? Well, who'll be there to show you (via satellite)? It's like making love to a TV It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying Your hangers-on say it's a great deal But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying Hey now, wake up And lose the makeup She makes you wanna know her When you don't know what it's worth Now you really wanna show her How she's just so down to Earth She makes you wanna know her When you don't know what it's worth Now you really wanna show her How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite) |

Alternative Girlfriend
You're in an all-girl band Your futon's second hand Your parents understand but you don't care I have a job in a shop I'm an undercover cop I make sure the customers aren't thieves Old at being young Young at being old Everything's on hold within our evolution Chorus: You're my alternative girlfriend I love you, and now you cannot pretend There's nothing left that won't cross over Last night we slept on the lawn you woke up and I was gone Back to the dream I dream to leave My life with her is a bore A worn-out metaphor No more surprises up its sleeve We're old at being young Young at being old Everything's been sold to other's revolutions Chorus You live above your dad's four-car garage With your vinyl and imaginary entourage if I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick So we can get out of this town 'cause it makes me sick Chorus |

On the path of life, I wish you well
Divergent journeys, we will meet again in Hell Kept my head down and moved Till every friend I'd known was gone Then one day, I was not alone Everything had changed Everything was strange Everything had changed Everything was strange When in rags and when in wealth A solemn promise never to give too much of myself Despite the hopeful words I've said I've lived my life inside my head Then one day, I was not alone Everything had changed Everything was strange Everything had changed Everything was strange I hold my breath and count to ten I hate it now, hated it then Seen it all before A failure and a bore That's what friends are for So it seems I must have won As I survey the ashes of the damage that I've done Everyone I've ever known Is just as closed off and alone Then one day, I was not alone Everything had changed Everything was strange Everything had changed Every thing |

You say "why does everything revolve around you?" You say, "why does everything I do confound you?" You say that I pulled the world from under you, You can't go through it this time I could be good, and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is too little too late? One day, This embarassment will fade behind me And that day I could think of things that won't remind me But these days it's unbearable for both of us, We can't dicuss it this way I'm gaining strength, trying to learn to pull my own weight But I'm gaining pounds at the precipice of Too Late Just wait I could be good and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is it too little too late? Record and play, after years of endless rewind Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time This time isn't Hell Last time, couldn't tell This mind wasn't well Next time, hope I'm... Going to be good, and I would- If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait- Or is it too little too late? |

It's hard enough to notice
Harder still to react Just a stone's throw from the center of our attention We all fade to black Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back It's hard enough to stomach But try to look away Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture? It all fades to gray Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back Long lines and warning signs Think of all the lives saved by plastic knives It's naive, but make believe We will never lose if we remove our shoes It's hard to keep your mouth shut Harder still to make noise But we can't have the perfect 20/20 hindsight That our fate enjoys Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back I will take it back |

That's the problem, dear, with angry people
They try to go it alone Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas That other angries disown Angry people think a good solution Is getting others involved So they surround themselves with happy people And watch their smiles dissolve We just drag them down We just drag them down We just drag them down Until they're just like us Angry people get so sanctimonious Telling us what to do Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just cause We are all phonies too And those of us who once had wives and families Understand what I mean What was once a calm and peaceful refuge Is overtaken by spleen 'Cause we just drag them down We just drag them down We just drag them down Until they're just like us I am the singer in the band We're only trying to lend a hand And though it's not what we had planned We understand That we just drag you down We just drag you down We just drag you down Until you're just like us In a square a thousand angry people Are waving signs in the air (HEY!) While a million other happy people Are trying hard not to care (BACK OFF!) You see, the happy people's biggest problem Is they're never fearing the worst While the rest of us will never sleep until Your happy bubbles are burst Yeah, we just drag them down Didn't I just drag you down Just watch me drag you down Until you're just like us Until you're just like us Oh, until you're just like us Until you're just like us |

It's the perfect time of year Somewhere far away from here I feel fine enough, I guess Considering everything's a mess There's a restaurant down the street Where hungry people like to eat I could walk but I'll just drive It's colder than it looks outside It's like a dream you try to remember But it's gone Then you try to scream But it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world Beyond your front door Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just to try to figure out what all this is for It's the perfect time of day To throw all your cares away Put the sprinkler on the lawn And run through with my gym shorts on Take a drink right from the hose And change into some drier clothes Climb the stairs up to my room Sleep away the afternoon Like a dream you try to remember But it's gone Then you try to scream But it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world Beyond your front door Take your time is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just to try to figure out what all this is for Pinch me, pinch me, cause I'm still asleep Please God tell me that I'm still asleep On an evening such as this It's hard to tell if I exist If I pack the car and leave this town You'll notice that I'm not around I could hide out under there I just made you say "underwear" I could leave but I'll just stay All my stuff's here anyway Like a dream you try to remember But it's gone Then you try to scream But it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world Beyond your front door Take your time is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just to try to figure out what all this is for Pinch me Try to figure out what all this is for Pinch me Try to see the world beyond your front door Pinch me Try to figure out what all this is for |

It was often talked about; it was often raised
But nothing was ever done about it To hear the way they talked about it, no one could be saved But nothing was ever done about it Shall I take back everything I've ever said And live my whole life in silence instead? It was oversimplified; it was under-thought And nothing was ever done to stop it Everything was fortified by all the lies we bought And nothing was ever done to stop it Shall I take back everything I've ever said (Shall I take back all my attacks? All of my accusations?) And live my whole life in silence instead? (All my mistrust - we never discussed anyone's reservations) There was a time when a crime was a crime But now I think I'm losing my mind Or taking it all too hard Taking it all too hard Taking it all too hard Shall I take back everything I've ever said (Shall I take back all my attacks? All of my accusations?) And live my whole life in silence instead? (All my mistrust - we never discussed anyone's reservations) Keep to myself Maybe you're right Maybe you're right Maybe you're right But I don't think so |

I met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home You were wrong, I was right You said "Goodbye" I said "Goodnight" It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before. I knew you before the west was won And I heard you say the past was much more fun You go your way, I go mine But I'll see you next time It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before. If I put my fingers here And if I say "I love you, dear" And if I play the same three chords Will you just yawn and say It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before. Alone and bored on a thirtieth century night Will I see you on "The Price is Right" Will I cry Will I smile As you run down the aisle It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done It's all been done, It's all been done, It's all been done before |

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad Tryin hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean? You soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of losing my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Dropped your arms to your sides and said "I'm sorry" Five days since I laughed at you and said "You just did just what I thought you were gonna do" Three days since the living room We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do? Yesterday you just smiled at me 'Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry Still be two days till we say we're sorry Still be two days till we say we're sorry Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie |

What's a boy to do?
When you tell your tale And it never fails I just end up feeling bad for you. With your hang-dog eyes You can bring me down Now I'm wrapped around your whole hand Stop looking so surprised. You make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) I've been burned before You're not fooling me There's no mystery You've forgotten what you're hiding for. Call it self defense You can obfuscate And manipulate But it's only at your own expense. You make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) Make it easy (Easy) Easy to be with you Easy to obey Easy to forgive you at the end of the day Easy now to judge you Easy to betray Easy to adore you though you want to run away.

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby I'm so fly, that's probably why it Feels just like I'm falling for the first time I'm so green, it's really amazing I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me. I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy It's so strange, I can't believe it Feels just like I'm falling for the first time Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time? What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind It feels just like I'm falling for the first time It feels just like I'm falling for the first time I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything I'm so thrilled to finally be failing I'm so done, turn me over cause it Feels just like I'm falling for the first time Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love is the cost? Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time? What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind |
