Sell Sell Sell
The credits roll, the camera pans And in the mist our hero stands He starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayer An awkward pause, then what's my line? There's nothing left to say this time And what would you say to a bad guy who's not there? In terms of Roman numerals, He's IV league with Roman Polanski He'd win an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance He started on the Broadway stage A product of another age, An offer and a pilot drew him west The series bombed, commercials came And though nobody knew his name They all recognized the potential he possessed Deodorants and dental floss And home much does that new car cost His acting was methodical in You Don't Need A Medical He's branded like a racing car, He's like a movie star without movies. The week of Independence Day, The casting agent called to say Your smile could save our movie and the world Buy buy buy buy Sell sell sell How well you learn To not discern Who's foe and who is friend We'll own them all in the end It goes like this, we have no choice; the minarets, The wailing voice And vaguely Celtic music fills the air We choose a foreigner to hate, The new Iraq gets more irate We really know nothing about them, and no one cares Aladdin and the forty thieves Enhanced by brand new special effects Saddam and his cow disease spiced up With some gratuitous sex A movie's made, a war is won A low-speed chase, a smoking gun Distracts us while the actor takes the stand Buy buy buy buy Sell sell sell How well you learn To not discern Who's for and who is friend We'll own them all in the end |

Maybe it would be fun
To get a new opinion Get a little work done And forget Maybe it would be cool If I rocked it old school Try to break a gold rule And a sweat Better than the first time Better than the worst time If I could just reverse time I'd be set (CHORUS:) Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me? If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me? If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear? She got a new apartment It's out on the escarpment And in her glove compartment Are my songs She hasn't even heard them Since she found out what the words meant She decided she preferred them All wrong Kind of like the last time With a bunch of really fast times If we're living in the past time Soon gone (CHORUS) We recognize the present Is half as pleasant As our nostalgia for The past'll be presented Recast and reinvented Until it's how we meant it (CHORUS) He's everything that you need You wiped out on your ten speed And either he will succeed Or just suck (CHORUS) Begin the... (CHORUS) Would I be in the clear, G? Testing 1,2,3 Testing 1,2,3 |

A is for angry, which is what you are at me
A is for adult, which is what I'll never be A is for applesauce, my favorite meal A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel; Like I'm the only man on Earth, and I've forgotten what that's worth A is for Arthur, he's a lovable drunk A M & Azing, like Thelonius Monk A is for argument, A is for apparent A is for antagonism that's not even there and it's just you begging for attention or something I won't even mention * And I don't even know why you keep on trying Like I don't even know why I keep on lying There are millions of people in worlds of their own And two of them can't let go A is for algebra, I learned it in school A is what Fonzie said, 'cause he was very cool A is for adversary, A is for affection A is arousal, you are giving me an erection C'mon I'm trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour *Repeat I met a woman I used to know Long before you, long ago All I could say, after hello Was "are you still single?" A is for attitude I can't help but wield A is for arrogance; emotional shield A is for acting, A is for abhorrently A is for asshole, which is what I am, how rude of me. I owe you an apology I'm sorry *Repeat |

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity Alchool, alternative to feeling like yourself O Alcohol, I still drink to your health I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol Forget the caffe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me Alcohol, Your songs resolve like my life never will When someone else is picking up the bill I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol O Alcohol, would you please forgive me? For while I cannot love myself I'll use something else I thought that Alcohol was just for those with nothing else to do I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose To walk the fine line between self-control and self-abuse I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol Would you please ignore that you found me on the floor Trying on your camisole? O Alcohol, would you please forgive me? For while I cannot love myself I'll use something else. Would you please forgive me Would you please forgive me |

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 |

Here we are again, and we're looking at each other
As if each other were to blame You think you're so smart but I've seen you naked And I'll probably see you naked again Milli Vanilli told you to blame it on the rain But if you blame it on the rain tell me what can be gained So if all else fails you can blame it on me If all else fails, you can blame it on me If all else fails, you can blame it on me If all else fails, blame it on me If all else fails, you can blame it on me Then you smile again but you're looking at me like there's Something I'm supposed to say Forgive me Father, but I've fallen in love And that's all I have for confession today Maybe if you asked me on any other given day I wouldn't have time for you or anything that you say But it's all right now, you can blame it on me If all else fails, you can blame it on me If all else fails, you can blame it on me If all else fails, blame it on me If all else fails, you can blame it on me Yes dear I love you But sometimes I think that love's not enough for you So you wanna play mind games Well that's fine, go ahead, la la la, I can't hear you Well here you are and you're a hundred thousand miles away They say that absence makes the heart grow fungus I wax poetic while you're waxing your legs You say you think there's a traitor amoung us If all else fails, you can blame it on me If all else fails, you can blame it on me If all else fails, blame it on me If all else fails, you can blame it on me |

I never thought that you would Love me the way that you do. I never thought that you would Love me half as much as I do. You say you want to know Everything about me -- well here you go, Buf if you want it girl, you got it; It's all right here in my box set. I never thought that words like Product would ever leave my libs, But something happened to me Somewhere that made me lose my grip. Maybe it's a lack of inspiration That makes me stoop, Or maybe it's a lack of Renumeration; I can't recoup. But if you want it, folks, you got it; It's all right here in my box set.
Disc One It's where we've begun, it's all my greatest hits, And if you are a fan then you know that you've already got 'em Disc Two It was all brand new, and album's worth of songs, but we had to leave the whole disc blank because Some other label bought 'em Disc Three This is really me in a grade school play, I had about a hundred thousand lines, but of course I forgot 'em I never thought there'd be days like this, There was always someone at my door. I never thought I would ever miss, And the crowd would always holler for more. But now it seems all that people want Is what I used to be And every time I try to do something new, All they want is 1973. I never thought I'd be regretful Of all my past success But some stupid number one hit single Has got me in this mess. You can put it on every compilation -- that's alright. You can hear it on the oldies radio station every night. And if you want it again, you got it -- It's right here in my box set. Disc Four Never released before, And you can tell why; It's just some demos I recorded in my basement. Disc Five I was barely alive, I was coughing up a lung So they had to use A special computer as my replacement. Disc Six A dance remix, So I can catch the latest trend And it'll make you scratch your head And wonder where my taste went. So now my fans are crying sellout, They say I've lost my touch They say I should just get the hell out Before I do too much. Hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser -- They say it's greed, And now I'm wondering where my friends are In this time of need. But if you change your mind and buy it, I hope you enjoy my new box set. |

Break Your Heart
The bravest thing I've ever done Was to run away and hide But not this time, not this time And the weakest thing I've ever done Was to stay right by your side Just like this time, and every time I couldn't tell you I was happy when you were gone So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart. I couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you on But I didn't mean to break your heart. And if I always seem distracted Like my minds somewhere else, That's because it's true, yes it's true it's this stupid pride that makes me feel Like I have to follow through Even half-assedly, loving you Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice? When I guess I should have just come out and told you right from the start Why must I always tell you all I want is this? I guess 'cause I didn't want to break your heart And you said; "What'd you think that I was gonna do, Curl up and die just because of you? I'm not that weak, you know What'd you think that I was gonna do, Try to make you love me as much as I love you? how could you be so low? You arrogant man, What do you think that I am? My heart will be fine Just stop wasting my time" And now I know that you will be okay, and that I got what I want and that's rid of you Good bye And it's not cause I'll be missing you That makes me fall apart it's just that I didn't mean to break No I didn't mean to break No I didn't mean to break Your heart |

Call Me Calmly
You and I were meant to be Even though you don't know me I don't even know your name And do you think that you know mine? You were lonely, I was bored I may be more than you can afford But I'm sure we'll meet halfway Chorus: And I've got this crazy feeling you've been trying to get to me When all you have to do is calmly Call me, call me, call me Basic service: sixty bucks I'll roll the dice, you try your luck A pair gets me a week in rent And a straight gets even more. I'm no good at playing cards I hold my dates in high regard Pay up front and ye shall receive Love is never in-between if it isn't one thing, then it's always something else I don't even know what I mean I thought that it was nothing, but now I can't find nothing else Oh, you can't hide But at least you tried to Call me, call me, call me Are you ashamed of what you've done? All we did was have some fun I won't judge and I won't tell And I'll forget you when you've gone I pity all you working stiffs, Living wondering "what if?" "What if someday I was free?" Chorus |

You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped to notice Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this I've never been ashamed of my attraction I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction As we danced, I could see in your eyes You and me as senior citizens in love I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v. Too patient as I'm playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1) And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh And we have to or we'll end up in the bath Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left And I guess I'll see you Monday like before Before all the fireworks exploded Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying Now what can we say? Have a nice day Looks like rain today... Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment Everything is drab, and I wish it never started Now I've landed in this awkward situation How can I just avoid a conversation? So I wait, come in late. It'd be great If you transferred out of state |

"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... |

Learn to lose, it's easier that way
We've paid our dues, but we can't make life pay All across the world, people going mad in their mother's cars, the kids are feeling sad That's how it is, and I'll see you later Everything old is new again Everything under the sun Now that I'm back with you again We hug and we kiss We sit and make lists We drink and I bandage your wrists Wasted youth -- there wasn't much to waste Down to the bone, and still losing weight With all the wishing in the world glistening in her eyes But when I say I love her, she thinks I'm telling lies is it all lost? No, we never had it Everything old is new again Everything under the sun All of our fears come true again Recycle reuse Resent and refuse Our parent's ideals and view She thinks the afterlife might just be where the action is With high schools built like prisons, she can't find a way to live Moved back home to fill the empty nest Afraid to roam, in love with second best While somewhere in the world, she's hosting her own show And everyone she questions never seems to know Who they are and where they are going Everything old is new again Everything under the sun Now that I'm without you again I wake up and eat I go back to sleep And let my nightmares repeat All across the world, people going mad |

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 |

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 this 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 And 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 Anone 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 |

I have set aside everything I love
I have saved everything else for you I cannot decide what this doubt's made of Though I thought over it through and through In a book in a box high upon a shelf In a locked and guarded vault Are the things I keep only for myself It's your fate but it's not your fault CHORUS: And for every useless reason I know There's a reason not to care If I hide myself wherever I go Am I ever really there? There is nowhere else I would rather be, but I can't just be right here An enigma wrapped in a mystery, or a fool consumed by fear CHORUS I will give you all I could ever give Though it's less than you will need Could you just forget, if you can't forgive All the things I cannot concede CHORUS |

Well let me tell you if you're feeling alone,
Instead of whining and moaning, Just get on the phone, tell her you're coming home If you need, you should be there If you scream in your sleep, or collapse in a heap And spontaneously weep, then you know you're in deep If you need her, you should be there Go Home There's nothing better than affairs of the heart To make you feel so good then tear you apart Make up your mind and stick it out or start again You can't imagine what an effort it takes When you make a mistake And you know in the wake that a heart's going to break If you need her, you should be there If you're flummoxed and flushed And your heartbeat is rushed Then get out of the slush, tell your dog team to mush If you need her, you should be there Go Home If you think of her as Joan of Arc She's burning for you, get your car out of park If you think of her as Catherine the Great Then you should be the horse to help her meet her fate If you need her, you should be there, Go Home You can't believe it, but it's true She's given everything to you Now take a moment to be sure Before you give it all to her Well now you're thinking that it's over at last, All your woes in the past But you've got to be fast; put your foot on the gas If you need her, you should be there so now you're out from under the gun And it's over and done I won't spoil all the fun but if you ever wonder She'll be there if you need her Go Home If you're lucky to be one of the few To find somebody who can tolerate you Then I shouldn't have to tell you again Just pack your bags and get yourself on a plane If you need her, you should be there Go Home If you need her, you should be there Go Home |

I found my locker and I found my classes.
Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses. That guy is huge! That girl is wailin'! First day of school and I'm already failing. This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine. I've got a blue-and-red Adidas bag and a humongous binder I'm trying my best not to look like a minor niner. I went out for the football team to prove that I'm a man; I guess I shouldn't tell them that I like Duran Duran. This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine. Well half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed And none of them can help me study for my math test Got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone; Guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath of Khan. This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine. Jim: They called me chicken legs Andy: They called me four-eyes Steve: They called me fatso Tyler: They called me buckwheat Ed: They called me Eddie This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine. I've got a red leather tie and a pair of rugger pants I put them on and I went to the high school dance Dad said I have to be home by eleven- Aw man I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven. This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine. |

You and I have been through this before
I owe you my whole life, nothing more I never said that I liked you the most You're my father, I'm your son, who's the Holy Ghost? Where does the time go when it's not around here? Here we stand at the edge of the drive I'm just waiting for my ride to arrive I wait to see if you've any last words We pulled away, I called your name, I don't think you heard Where does the time go when it's not around here? I don't know Where does the time go when it's not around here? You and I never shared all that much When I leave, I'll be all right, I'll keep in touch As your road narrows, so mine grows wider As I leave I turn and wave to the Great Provider Where does the time go when it's not around here? I don't know Where does the time go when it's not around here? |

CHORUS:
Have you seen my love? Have you seen my love? Have you seen my little girl? Oh, have you seen my love? All that I want is to be your friend, Cause you're the only friend I've ever known All I need is our love, we agreed That the two of us wouldn't be alone In these faded old photographs, you can see how we smiled I became a man in your arms, now I'm helpless as a child CHORUS There is a dream that we both used to share And we swore we would never wake Now the dream's a nightmare, and the truth to be fair Is that dreaming was the first mistake Though we share the same memories, and I swear that's her face Did you bury the woman I love, and fall asleep in her space?

This is where the helicopters came to take me away
This is where the children used to play This is only half a mile away from the attack This is where my life changed in a day And then it changed back Buried in the din of rotor noise and close explosions I do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotions This is where the allies bombed the school, They say by mistake Here nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fake Later at the hotel bar, the journalists are waiting I hurry back to my guitar while they're commiserating And I'll be leaving soon I'll be leaving soon Just as soon as we were on the ground We were back in the jet Just another three day foreign tour we'd never forget It's hard to sympathize with all this devastation Hopping 'round from site to site like tourists on vacation And I'll be leaving soon I'll be leaving soon I can't help anyone cause everyone's so cold Everyone's so skeptical of everything they're told And even I get sick of needing to be sold Though it's only half a month away, the media's gone An entertaining scandel broke today, but I can't move on I'm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it? Everybody's laughing, while at me they point a finger A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer So I'll be leaving soon I'll be leaving soon I'll be leaving soon I'll be leaving soon |

I know why I like you
It's 'cause of your clothing and your haircut And 'cause you're racist I have a match; your face, My asking your questions you can't answer You want to box me? Our world works in a weird way I've heard them say a man with a beard may Frighten children or dogs but a moustache scares me more I know why you bite me It's cause of your instincts and your canines And 'cause I kicked you I have a bone to pick; Please go on the paper, and fetch me my slippers And stop meowing Man's best friend wags his tail and Bares his teeth to the man with the mail and Though he's frightened of thunder he never goes to war Tell me what's the circumstance of circumcision? And what goes in my daughter's pants is whose decision? I've seen the facts of inter-race realtions, Of see-though slacks, of cyber-masturbation; If a hundred monkeys each could get their own show, Perhaps one day a chimp might say “You have faith, you just need to use it, sayth the Lord” I know why I like you It's 'cause of your sandals and your supper And 'cause you're Jesus I have a match; your Dad, my dad has Your picture right next to your mother's, And one of Charo They hold hands up in heaven And they say that their son's name is Kevin But I read in a book somewhere that his name is Jack |

I Live With It Everyday
On August first, nineteen-eight-one I cycled to Scott's house with a BB gun We were almost twelve, but we looked thirteen He had baby-blue eyes that I shot him between Nature provides for us a safety net Whatever we do, we can never forget Chorus: I live with it every day Even though we moved away Our yesterdays are on a loop; A marathon of heartbreaking moments I live with it every day For every step I have to pay The only thing that they can't take The guild that spirals in my wake The day they found me asleep on the floor Engine running, closed garage door Was the day the For Sale sign arrived on the lawn Two weeks later, and we were gone Everyone falls through time and the funnel it makes But I'm staying here inside my biggest mistake Chorus The love I put away Like games that children play The hearts you choose to break Like cars dumped in the lake The laugh lines on your face The life I won't embrace The cold house I won't leave The guests I won't receive Chorus |

It ain't no fever or flu, doctor says it had to be someone with brown hair and blue eyes, I'm lovesick for you I realize. I's loves you And youse loves me I's loves you So let's make a family tree.

She fed me strawberries and
freezer-burned ice cream I said "Good-bye I guess" She lifted up her dress and so I must confess we made out one more time before I left for good She thought I'd come back but I wouldn't want to seem like other guys A book-and-record love, we sat and read our books between those longing looks, compounded by our fear My tongue inside her ear, my tongue inside her in the basement of her mother's house where she once taped the first three sides of Sandanista! for my car We were looking for ourselves and found each other In the Car It was rare to do much more than simply mess around In the Car It was mostly mutual masturbation And though we spoke of penetration I'd have to wait for someone else to try it out Once I had this dream where I slept with her mom A secret all along, unless I've got this wrong unless she hears this song unless she hears it on a tape inside her car with her new husband and she turns to him and says "I think that's me" In the Car we were looking for ourselves but found each other In the Car We groped for excuses not to be alone anymore In the Car we were waiting for out lives to start their endings In the Car We were never making love We were never making love We were never making love |

In the Drink
Chorus: I'm in the drink for love And want to drink your love Swimmin' a swim in the suds I want to drink your blood Up like a rocket, down like the rain Back and forth like a choo-choo train I have a secret that just won't keep All I wanna do is brush your teeth Butterfly kisses And the taste of delicious I'd like to sip the sap from your tree And the honey in the tea Dripping amber drips Patiently Chorus I'm in the drink for love And want to drink your love Squishin' toes in the mud I want to drink your blood Caught a snowflake on my tongue A feathery crystal in the flavour of gum Dropping clouds fallin' fast Are you going to try some while they last? Once the birds have migrated Come Spring twitter painted Up the river, I journey on 'Cause this salmon is ready to spawn if you have some swimming lessons it would make it easier Chorus |

Someone somewhere has unglued our epoxy
And now I'm kissing you by proxy Hope you don't mind Somewhere someone is dreaming of me Tries to love me, hope you don't mind I love you intermittently I love you intermittently She's a lot like you but she don't look like you Okay, she's not you But she'll do fine I got my life on hold just to avoid confrontation But should I tell you to your face and Risk my hide? I love you intermittently I love you intermittently When immeasurably Turns to intermittently There's no use in going on Except for fear of being wrong Every morning I just hit the ground yawning... Stick around if you enjoy disaster 'Cause if you can't see what I'm after You must be blind I love you intermittently I love you intermittently Didn't have the heart to say goodbye So I continued in my charlatan ways Did I say heart? I meant to say guts Now I'm on my own and I'm sorry that you're gone |

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 * Repeat And 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 * Repeat Alone and bored on a 30th century night. Will I see you on the price is right? Will I cry? Will I smile? As you run down the aisle. * Repeat |

The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair
Was dazzled by her smile while I shopped there It wasn't long before I lived with her I sang her songs while she dyed my hair Jane... divided, but I can't decide which side I'm on Jane... decided only cowards stay, while traitors run Jane... Jane I'd bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh She thought that I was making fun of her She made me feel I was fourteen again That's why she thinks it's cooler if we'd just stay friends Jane... doesn't think a man could ever be faithful Jane... isn't giving me a chance to be shameful Jane... Jane I wrote a letter, she should have got it yesterday That life could be better by being together Is what I cannot explain to Jane The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair Still dazzled by her smile while I shoplift there No promises as vague as heaven No Juliana next to my Evan Jane... desired by the people at her school and work Jane... is tired 'cause every man becomes a lovesick jerk Jane...

Just aToy
Look at my mouth, a thin painted line Look at my limbs, bent up and bundled in twine Forever, ever mine Form of a tree, shape of a child I wish I could cry, stuck in a permanent smile Forever, ever mine Chorus: I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy I know you must have loved me sometime But now I'm just a toy First there was me, nothing but time Till he came along, you told me you'd always be mine Forever, ever mine Look at his face, somewhat like mine But look at his nose, you can always be sure that he's lying Forever, ever mine Chorus Who needs you A boy-to-be who Needs to be Better than him, worthy of you Given the chance that he had, I know what I'd do Forever, ever mine I call him liar, you call him son if I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run forever Chorus |

'Cause I can't afford to lose more sleep I get ill when I get tired So I'll try to rest if you'll stand guard Do do do do do do do do Whoa Do do do do do do do I've informed you to leave 'Cause I can't stand to hear you breathe I chew up and I choke down The scraps you choose to leave around Do do do do do do do do Whoa Do do do do do do do Apparitions still won't leave me alone It's as if you never left How am I supposed to remember you When you won't let me forget? I've informed you to leave 'Cause I can't afford to lose more sleep There's your shoes, and there's the door Please don't come here anymore Do do do do do do do do Whoa Do do do do do do do |

When she was three her Barbies always did it on the first date
Now she's with me, there's never any need for them to demonstrate She's like a baby, I'm like a cat; When we are happy, we both get fat and still It's never enough, it's never enough, it's never enough And I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way Call me crazy; it really doesn't matter All that matters to me is she Her life in a nutshell No way would she want it to change me It's not that easy 'cause my time is often decided for me For me She memorized every pencil crayon color in the box Her blue-green eyes complement the burnt sienna in her locks She's at the movies, I'm on the phone; When we're separated we're never alone, but still It's never enough, it's never enough, no it's never enough I fell down with no one there to catch me from falling Then she came 'round And only her tenderness stopped me from bawling my eyes out I'm OK, and that's why... |

A Hydro-field cuts through my neighborhood
Somehow that always just made me feel good I can put a spare bulb in my hand And light up my yard Late at night when the wires in the walls Sing in tune with the din of the falls I'm conducting it all while I sleep To light this whole town If you question what I would do To get over and be with you Lift you up over everything To light up my room There's a shopping cart in the ravine The foam on the creek is like pop and ice cream A field full of tires that is always on fire To light my way home There are luxuries we can't afford But in our house we never get bored We can dance to the radio station That plays in our teeth If you question what I would do To get over and be with you Lift you up over everything To light up my room A Hydro-field cuts through my neighborhood Somehow that always just made me feel good I can put a spare bulb in my hand And light up my yard Light up my yard Lights in my yard Light up my yard |

Then the world would see That I can do anything I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything Let's play tic tac toe I'll play X, you can be the O. Thoughts of turning pro Have crossed my mind I could make a mint Fill my pockets with more than lint I'll give you a hint It involves the "internet" I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything I can be that But soon you'll see that I will never do anything Don't write me off as an also ran Just mark me down as an angry man Got a big chip, you want a fat lip? How 'bout a mouthful of Chiclets? Life passed me by, but it's not my fault I'll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt? I can be that, but soon you'll see that I will never do anything If I were the king All my subjects they would dance and sing They could kiss my ring And kiss my ass When I'm old and grey I'll look back on my life and say "Give me one more day, And I'll still never do anything."
