Thirty-one today
What a thing to say Drinking Guinness in the afternoon Taking shelter in the black cocoon I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now But it's not, and I don't know where to turn Called some guy I knew Had a drink or two And we fumbled as the day grew dark I pretended that I felt a spark I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now But it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn Easter comes and goes Maybe Jesus knows So you roll on with the best you can Getting loaded, watching CNN I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now But it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know |

Today's the fourth of July
Another June has gone by And when they light up our town I just think what a waste of gunpowder and sky I'm certain I am alone In harbouring thoughts of our home It's one of my faults that I can't quell my past I ought to have gotten it gone Oh, baby I wonder if when you are older Someday You'll wake up and say "My God, I should have told her What would it take? But now here I am and the world's gotten colder And she's got the river down which I sold her" So that's today's memory lane With all the pathos and pain Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless And they're always the same A verse, then a verse, and refrain Oh, baby I wonder if when you are older Someday You'll wake up and say "My God, I should have told her What would it take? But now here I am and the world's gotten colder And she's got the river down which I sold her..." |

Though I let you steer
You, a cavalier Inch became a light year It was pathetic Well, you can write the play At every word I say But I don't have to stay To see the credits 'Cause it's all over now (All over now) Yes, it's all over now (All over now) And I'm free I was one of few Who'd stick up for you And so you never knew You were a punch line I could not convince or trust you To pick up on my hints, must you Leave your fingerprints On everything I call mine? Well, that's all over now (All over now) Yes, it's all over now (All over now) And I'm free Yes, I'm free From your interference Which had the appearance Of making it clear that It's got nothing to do with me It's got nothing to do with me (It's got nothing) It's got nothing to do with me It's got nothing to do with me And I warn you now The velocity I'm gathering |

It must be hard ringing the bells
Of doors that don't swing wide anymore It must be hard hearing the sound Of voices just inside of the door A man who couldn't hold your coat Once hung on every anecdote So it must be hard watching the fellows gloat Ballantines It must be hard seeing the same old crowd Just pass you by in the street It must be tough knowing your stuff Could only horrify the elite You cut off everyone you know Boy you told 'em all where to go Now it must be hard getting the same heave-ho Ballantines Well, patrons at the bar in Lexington, Kentucky Once sprung for every drink you downed With things the way they are it's not that kind of party If what you've got just might be going around The fat cats won't be getting thin Seeing the kind of jam you're in Though the angels dance on the head of another pin Ballantines Ballantines Ballantines |

You pulled up and parked your El Dorado
We said "hi" and kissed with some bravado I got out my camera and was laughing Happy it was you I'm photographing And we drove to the ferry Like the cat and canary I said, "Baby, it's scary When it's so beautiful Why does it hurt me To feel so much tenderness? Beautiful You little wonder, you" Maybe then I held your hand and kissed you I know once I just hauled off and hit you 'Cause I can't even stand it 'Cause I don't want to end it To be perfectly candid ? Baby, you're beautiful Sometimes it hurts me To feel so much tenderness Beautiful Wish you could see it, too And all I have to do today Is make you happy The only thing you have to say Is, "It's all lovely, baby" Late that night, we checked into the Bellevue Held you close, but, baby ? couldn't tell you And we stayed in our Calvins And we swore we'd be best friends And I looked through the zoom lens And thought you were beautiful Sometimes it hurts me To feel so much tenderness Beautiful Baby, I'm dazzled By the view Beautiful You don't need to tell me I'm completely powerless Beautiful I wish you could see it, too I wish you could see it, too I wish you could see it, too Baby, how I see you |

Get up, the needle has pricked a little finger.
She wants the beautiful child the blood will bring her. You ask a question in the mirror. Alas, no answer could be clearer. Get up, get up, you're borrowing time. Get up, get up, you're borrowing time. Get up, a substitute artist just reprieved you Beware the flattery ruses have deceived you. The kings of yesterday falling, But you'll come when destiny's calling. Get up, get up, you're borrowing time. Get up, get up, you're borrowing time. I don't want anything anyway. I was happy with what I had yesterday. Who wants the whole weight of the world When it'll drag you down… Underground? Today she's singing a song called Hallelujah You stay, she's bringin' the poison apple to ya. Sun's up and reveille's playing You know what everyone's saying. Get up, get up, you're borrowing time. Get up, get up, you're borrowing time. Get up, get up, you're borrowing time. Get up, get up, you're borrowing time. |

She's been a long time on the phone Courting disaster in an undertone She's feeling nostalgic and feeling that fall How could anyone ever fight it Who could ever expect to fight it when she Builds that Wall Maybe it's one where time will tell Maybe it's one where it's just fare-thee-well I hear her coming As she walks down the hall How could anyone ever fight it Who could ever expect to fight it when she Builds that Wall I know the choice is made I can tell, I said By your guilty face And I never was one to fight it How does anyone ever fight it You couldn't pin this one on me You knew my thoughts so far as I could see Well, I'd say it's hopeless But you make the call 'Cause I never was one to fight it And if given the chance I guess I'll learn to Build that wall Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Oooooooooo Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build That Wall |

He's a serious Mister shake his hand and he'll twist your arm with monopoly money we'll be buying the funny farm So I'll do flips, and get paid in chips from a diamond as big as the Ritz-- then I'm calling it quits Eyes the color of candy lies to cover the handicap though your slippers are ruby you'll be led to the booby trap And there's no prize, just a smaller size so I'm wearing the shoe til it fits-- then I'm calling it quits Now he's numbering himself among the masterminds cause he's hit upon the leverage of valentines lifting dialogue from Judy Garland storylines where get-tough girls turn into goldmines But oh, those polaroid babies taking chances with rabies happy to tear me to bits-- well, I'm calling it quits Yes, I'm calling it quits.

One more losing battle What is Columbus Avenue to you now? Last call tattoo parlor Deathbed sword swallower What is Columbus Avenue to you now? The place where you failed To make your story go over The place where you bailed And let the bottom drag you under Drag you under Cheap shot paranoia Exiled from Victoria What is Columbus Avenue to you now? The place where you failed To make your story go over The place where you bailed And let the bottom drag you under Drag you under Where you moved with a ghastly precision To the echoes of bones in the air Finding hope in an X-ray division Of a world that's not there Cafe sinners bother you Empty pockets follow you What is Columbus Avenue to you now? The place where you failed To make your story go over The place where you bailed And let the bottom drag you under Drag you under What is Columbus Avenue to you now? |

you were taken by a pro I know just how you feel She talked a perfect game deflecting all the blame you took the jack and changed the flat and got behind the wheel-- now you're Driving sideways taken in by the scenery as you're propelled along And your companion will not help you to navigate for fear she may be wrong And you will say that you're making headway and put it in overdrive but you're mistaking speed for getting what you need and never even noticing you never do arrive cause you're Driving sideways if you roll down the window you'll see you're where you don't belong And your companion will not help you to navigate for fear she may be wrong And you're powered by the hopeful lie that it's just around the bend and when this, by default comes screeching to a halt let's hope that you know what to do to start it up again Driving sideways hitting scan on the radio so she can sing along and she'll sit thinking you're going to handle it until she's proven wrong until she's proven wrong until you prove her wrong |

Fifty years after the fair
The picture I have is so clear Underneath the clouds in the air Rose the Trylon and the Perisphere And that for me was the finest of scenes The perfect world across the river in Queens Fifty years after the fair I drink from a different cup But it does no good to compare Cause nothing ever measures up I guess just for a second we thought That all good things would rise to the top And how beautiful it was, tomorrow We'll never have a day of sorrow We got through the '30s but our belts were tight We conceived of a future with no hope in sight We've got decades ahead of us to get it right, I swear Fifty years after the fair Fifty years after the fair I live in tomorrow town Even on a wing and a prayer The future never came around It hurts to even think of those days The damage we do by the hopes that we raise But how beautiful it was, tomorrow We'll never have a day of sorrow We got through the '30's but our belts were tight We conceived of a future with no hope in sight We've got decades ahead of us to get it right, I swear Fifty years after the fair |

(I still have the shake in my voice
And I'm going to sing you this song) I don't know you from Adam, it could make my day If you leave me a message I'll give it away 'Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to Are the ones who pretend that you're not really you Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind When you're building your own creation Nothing's better than real than a real Imitation I won't find it fantastic or think it absurd When the gun in the first act goes off in the third 'Cause it's rare that you ever know what to expect From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck If the creature is limping the parts are in place With a mind of its own and a fist for a face Say hello to your new creation Now it's better than real It's a real imitation You may wonder what the catch is As we batten down the hatches And when later we find that the thing we devised Has the villagers clamouring for it's demise We will have to admit the futility of Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to Everything I imagined I wanted from you But at least it's my own creation And it's better than real It's a real imitation |

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay Remember, Christ, our Saviour Was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy In Bethlehem, in Israel, This blessed Babe was born And laid within a manger Upon this blessed morn The which His Mother Mary Did nothing take in scorn O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy From God our Heavenly Father A blessed Angel came; And unto certain Shepherds Brought tidings of the same: How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by Name. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy "Fear not then," said the Angel, "Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Saviour Of a pure Virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and might." O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind: And went to Bethlehem straightway The Son of God to find. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy And when they came to Bethlehem Where our dear Saviour lay, They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His Mother Mary kneeling down, Unto the Lord did pray. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All other doth deface.

Every day's a holiday The day you live without it Everything changes up Everything shifts and falls Unless you care about it But you sit there in the darkness And you make plans but they're hopeless And you blame God when you're lonely And you'll call it fate When you show up too late and it's over Here on the boulevard You were the golden boy A mix of brains and muscle That was a lucky break Luck is a thing you make Not just another hustle But you sit there in the darkness And you make plans but they're hopeless And you blame God when you're lonely And you'll call it fate When you show up too late and it's over 'Cause nothing can wait forever They don't give unlimited chances in life They hand you the knife And tell you to cut it or run So baby let's fly Baby let's run Baby let's run 'Cause everything's beautiful Every day's a holiday But days are getting shorter The moon and the stars report The boulevard's last resort And now your last supporter But you sit there in the darkness And you make plans but they're hopeless And you blame God when you're lonely And you'll call it fate When you show up too late and it's over |

The king of the jailhouse
And the queen of the road Think sharing the burden will lighten the load So they pack up their troubles In an old Cadillac That's her in the mirror, asleep in the back Baby, there's something wrong with me Baby, there's something wrong with me Baby, there's something wrong with me That I can't see That I can't see And they don't give the answers At the end of the test So you can't simply stand there and hope for the best So wake me up at the border When we reach Mexico I'll tell you a secret I don't even know Baby, there's something wrong with me Baby, there's something wrong with me Baby, there's something wrong with me That I can't see That I can't see Honey, I don't wanna turn around And go back there ? do you? I think you know something I don't know That I need to Baby, there's something wrong with me Baby, there's something wrong with me Baby, there's something wrong with me That I can't see That I can't see That I can't see |

From the 22nd floor
Walking down the corridor Looking out the picture window down On Sycamore While perspective lines converge Rows of cars and buses merge All the sweet green trees of Atlanta burst Like little bombs Or little pom-poms Shaken by a careless hand That drives them off And leaves again Life just kind of empties out Less a deluge than a drought Less a giant mushroom cloud Than an unexploded shell Inside a cell Of the Lennox Hotel On the 22nd floor Found a notice on my door While outside, the sun is shining on Those little bombs Those little pom-poms Life just kind of empties out Less a deluge than a drought Less a giant mushroom cloud Than an unexploded shell Inside a cell Of the Lennox Hotel Inside a cell Of the Lennox Hotel Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Inside a cell Of the Lennox Hotel Inside a cell Of the Lennox Hotel |

Macka wants to ride on the Mouse and the Tilt-A-Whirl
Canada is looking for a smile from a pin-up girl But I ain't looking for nothing Just spend the money I made I ain't gotta do nothing today Everybody's waiting for their thing just to come along They all got something they can pin all their feelings on But I ain't looking for nothing Just spend the money I made I ain't looking for nothing today I got high on the Ferris Wheel Didn't like how it made me feel So alone Another cog in the loading zone Macka went on home when the fireworks and rides were done Canada got busted with a girl who was way too young But I wasn't looking for nothing Not trouble, money or thrills ‘Cause when you're looking for nothing Babe, it's not the speed that kills Oh, I'm not looking for nothing Just spend my money and go I'm not looking for nothing To put me in the rodeo |

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies, Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high. Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Picture yourself on a train in a station With plasticine porters with looking glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds.................... |

The day you left and you called me bitch
I called you selfish, better pull that switch Put my son on amphetamines He came home crying and there's your proof Crying 'bout nothing but a missing tooth I did the right thing. You shade the truth almost everyday Phone calls at night “it's going to be ok” Are you saddened, baby, under the bridge? Are you saddened, baby, on Lake Street? Black marker on cardboard Little drawing of a medicine wheel But everything that's good you steal Everything that's good you steal Maybe you'll wake up in jail alone And hold the handle of the one pay phone And do the right thing Like I once tried but I bent the truth A five dollar dent for a little lost tooth There's a payback in front of me Because once you were like a walking high Breaking in motion through the parking lot Are you saddened, baby, under the bridge? Are you saddened, baby, on Lake Street? Black marker on cardboard Little drawing of a medicine wheel Everything that's good you steal Everything that's good you steal Words of encouragement are just as real Saving my faith does have a smooth group appeal Are you saddened, baby, under the bridge? Are you saddened, baby, on Lake Street? Black Marker on cardboard Little drawing of a medicine wheel Everything that's good you steal Everything that's good you steal Everything that's good you steal From me |

Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life And it's brought me to my current agendum Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive And I know life is getting shorter I can't bring myself to set the scene Even when it's approaching torture I've got my routine Oh, for the sake of momentum Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day But I hate to think of effort expended All those minutes and days and hours I have frittered away. And I know life is getting shorter I can't bring myself to set the scene Even when it's approaching torture I've got my routine But I can't confront the doubts I have I can't admit that maybe the past was bad And so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death So it can match the past. when I can't confront the doubts I have I can't admit that maybe the past was bad And so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death So it can match the past. |

So he's retired
Lives with his sister in a furnished flat He's got this suit that He'll never wear outside without a hat His hair is white but he looks half his age He looks like Jimmy Stewart in his younger days And honestly I might be stupid to think Love is love, but I do And you've waited so long And I've waited long enough for you My mother's calling From where she's living up in Troy, Vermont She tries to tell me A father figure must be what I want I've always thought age made no difference Am I the only one to whom that's making sense? And honestly I might be stupid to think Love is love, but I do And you've waited so long And I've waited long enough for you The day I met him he was raking leaves In his tiny yard Of course I know that We've only got ten years or twenty left But to be honest I'm happy with whatever time we get Depending on whichever book you read Sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need And honestly I might be stupid to think Love is love, but I do And you've waited so long And I've waited long enough for you |

Once upon a time is how it always goes
but I'll make it brief what was started out with such excitement now I'd gladly end end with relief in what now has become a familiar motif: That nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all Critics at their worst could never criticize the way that you do no, there's no one else, I find, to undermine or dash a hope quite like you and you do it so casually, too Cause nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all Ladies and gentlemen-- here's exhibit A didn't I try again? And did the effort pay? Wouldn't a smarter man simply walk away? It doesn't really help that you can never say what you're looking for but you'll know it when you hear it, know it when you see it walk through the door So you say-- so you've said many times before But nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all |

You see me as a judge
Though I deny it And hold me like a grudge Then justify it But when you take such pains In searching for something that explains Please, take a good look at our remains Cause if you were everything you say Things would be different today And maybe there's room for compromise But signs that I get say otherwise Say anything, cause I've heard everything As hopeless as it seems I wouldn't worry You'll get your chance to tell Your side of the story While you're raising your right hand Whatever defenses you had planned Remember that when you take the stand If you were everything you say Things would be different today And though I'd be happy to believe I'd have to be much more naive Say anything, I've heard everything... Now I've heard everything... So why do I refuse The truth, when I clearly cannot use The comfort of one more lame excuse Cause if you were everything you say Things would be different today And if you were everything you swear We wouldn't be beyond repair If you were everything you say Things would be different today And if there has got to be an if Get it over with Say anything, 'cause I've heard everything...

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa's on his way; He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

TV's flat and nothing is funny I get sad and stuck in a cone of silence Like a big balloon with nothing for ballast Labeled like a bottle for Alice Drink me down or I'll drown in a sea of giants And tell me, "Baby, baby, I love you It's nonstop memories of you It's like a video of you playing It's all loops of seven-hour kisses Cut with a couple near-misses Back to the scene of the actor saying: 'Tell me, baby, baby ? why do I feel so bad?'" Tell me why I feel so bad, honey Fighting left me plenty of money But didn't keep the promise of memory lapses Like a building that's been slated for blasting I'm the proof that nothing is lasting Counting to eleven as it collapses And tell me, "Baby, baby, I love you It's nonstop memories of you It's like a video of you playing It's all loops of seven-hour kisses Cut with a couple near-misses Back to the scene of the actor saying: 'Tell me, baby, baby ? why do I feel so bad?'" Baby, baby, I love you Baby, baby, I love you But baby, I feel so bad |

from Aimee Mann - Whatever (2001)
Well, I guess that this is now the end
Who'd have thought, my old friend We signed the papers and we capped the pen But I remember you from way back when Good evening, ladies and gentlemen Welcome David-what's-his-name-again Things change, the old cliche If we knew now what we knew yesterday Oh, we couldn't give it away I was working at a record store I knew you, you knew the score Some kind of deal is what we're looking for Time came, and disappeared No one steered and it got weirder Help was needed, no one volunteered Things change, you got to wait a bit What made me think that I could weather it? You're down before you even know that You've been hit And through it all I wondered Where the bus was taking you Who knew? Cause even though my one and one Was always making two I never thought that I was breaking you We were victims of the old taboo But people change, we changed too Just make it count before they get to you Cause things change, baby, hold the phone They'll shoot you down like you was Al Capone Oh, you better go it alone Well, I guess that this is now the end Paper signed, forget the pen Wonder if we'll ever meet again? |

Whatever happened to Christmas? It's gone and left no traces,
Whatever happened to the faces or the glow. Whatever happened to Christmas, to Christmas way of living? Whatever happened to the giving, the magic in the snow? Remember the sights and the smells and the sounds, And remember how love was all around, whatever happened to it all? Whatever happened to Christmas, bells in the streets are ringing, Whatever happened to the singing, the songs we used to know. Where was I, and whatever happened to you? Whatever happened to Christmas and you? |

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten, and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright |

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
in the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, as we go along, walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? we'll say: No man, But you can do the job when you're in town. Later on, we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire To face unafraid, the plans that we've made, walking in a winter wonderland. |

from Jerry Maguire (제리 맥과이어) by Nancy Wilson [ost] (1996)
It's not what you thought
when you first began It You got what you want now You can hardly stand It, though by now you know It's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'til you wise up You're sure there's a cure and You have finally found it you think one drink Will shrink you til you're underground And living down but it's not going to stop It's not going to stop it's not going to stop 'til you wise up prepare a list of what you need Before you sign away and do the deed Cause it's not going to stop It's not going to stop no, it's not going to stop 'til you wise up no, it's not going to stop 'til you wise up no, it's not going to stop So just give up |

When you first began it You got what you want Now you can hardly stand it though By now you know it's not Going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up you're sure there's a cure And you have finally found it You think one drink will shrink you 'til you're underground and living down But it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up Prepare a list of what you need Before you sign away the deed 'Cause it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up No it's not going to stop 'Til you wise up Now it's not going to stop So just give up |

There is nothing that competes with habit
And I know it's neither deep nor tragic Simply that you have to have it So you can make a killing So you can make a killing So you can make a killing I wish I was both young and stupid Then I too could have the fun that you did Till it was time to pony up what you bid So you can make a killing So you can make a killing So you can make a killing I could follow you and search the rubble Stay right here and save myself some trouble I try to keep myself from seeing double Or I could make a killing Or I could make a killing Or I could make a killing |

You stay the night at his house
with no ride to work and I'm the one who tells you he's another jerk but you're the one who can succeed you've only got to prove your need-- and you do you really do The sex you're trading up for what you hope is love is just another thing that he'll be careless of but though there are caveats galore you've only got to love him more-- and you do you really do even when it's all too clear You write a little note that you leave on the bed and spend some time dissecting every word he said and if he seemed a little strange well, baby--anyone can change and you do you do you really do |
