*** All I Want ***
Like to believe there's something more out there
Like to believe I'm not the only one
who looks around and feels overcome
so much to do, too many choices
which one will be the road that becomes my own
should I act or should I take it slow
Cause when the nagging feeling take hold
I have to leave it alone
Well I'm anxious and restless
I guess that what it's like to be young
Sweet little girl dreamed of the day when
she'd stand up tall and tell the whole world her plan
Her voice will shine as she takes command
Now she'll be heard, she's got the forum
It has arrived, this moment is here for her
But she finds it doesn't matter
Well she;s got nothing to say now that this day has come
well I'm speechless and toung tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Living day by day
gets harder to face
when all the questions
drive you insane
Pick on up, throw it into the sky
I want to feel free and have fun
I guess that's what it really means to be young
I'll bring it on and drive myself crazy
I want it all and then I want no one's help
I need to make it by myself
and if I achieve what I think I wanted
Will I receive a medal of happiness
will it make the confusion less
*** Buried Alive ***
On a normal day, I'd treat you like I did today
I don't know why I need the pain
On a normal day, I'd stop it all and tell you why
I pulled the plug, threw it away
Of only it would get better, I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I might just bury you alive
And go do something new
If I've asked before, then turn around and shut the door
The answer I don't want to know
If I've asked before, then tell me to go home
I think it's probabley time that I should go
If only it would get better, I'd smile as if I felt it
Althought if it ever got better...
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I mihgt just bury you alive
And go do something new
It doesn't matter if you tell the truth
It doesn't seem to pay off when it comes the time
It doesn't matter if you're clean or if your soul is black
They believe that youare kind
If only it would get better, I'd smile as if I felt it
Although if it ever got better...
I might go throw it all away
The way you always do
I mihgt just bury you alive
And go do something new
*** Cricket ***
I never thought about it before
Just close your eyes and ignore
The dark that troubles you most
Don't let it be here...
And if you see it again
Hold your breath and pretend
That you're already dead
You'll never be alone
I will always hold your hand
I'll never let you fall,
'cause nothing
Nothing else matters at all......
If you're scared just think of me
'cause you know I'll never let you be...
Anywhere.. but with me.
Forget the story you heard,
Why are you worried about the dirt.
I don't think that you'll mind
When it's your time.
Cause I will be there with you
And we'll figure out what to do
So that you don't get bored.
You'll never be alone;.
I will always hold your hand
I'll never let you fall,
'cause nothing,
Nothing else matters at all...
If your scared just think of me
'cause you know I'll never let you be.
Anywhere... but with me.
So try to sleep with a smile
I promise I'll wait awhile
to make sure that you've moved on
You won't be lost
I will always hold your hand
I'll never let you fall,
cause nothing,
nothing else matters at all....
If your scared just htink of me
cause you know i'll never let you be.
Anywhere... but with me.
*** Day Job ***
Four days left in the week
And already I looked ahead
I'm tired, so anxious
Dazed, confused, and seeing red
Sometimes the day seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long
I stare at the clock
It doesn't move, no not all
The work day is so long
Like a night of insomnia
Sometimes the day seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long
So I shut my eyes and fantasize
about anything that 'll come to mind
To more perverse the better
I shut my eyes and fantasize about all the
really horrendous things I could be doing
I shut my eyes and fantasize -
there better be more than this
is this a really bad joke
I could be out right now doing all the really
horrendous things I've been imagining
It couldn't possibly be so boring
Friday, only one more day
To endure this tendiousness
The clock won't move at all
So I wat and I wait
Sometimes the days seem so long
I wish my boss hadn't taken my bong
Sometimes the days seem long.. so long
So I shut my eyes and fantasize about
anything that 'll come to mind
The more perverse the better
I shut my eyes and fantasize
about all the horrendous things I could be doing
It couldn't possibly be so boring
*** Don't Wanna Behave ***
I can't seem to remember if you were kinder
Did you even care about my peace of mind
I find that in the end, you're just a big old..
I can't seem to recall why you keep on laughing
At your stupid jokes, They're a waste of your time
Cause I find that in the end, you're just a big old bore
and I never wanted more thatn just a little fun
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I can't seem to believe how your little obsession
Has you by the throat and has you running blind
I find that in the end you're just a big old..
I can't seem to believe how you keep on clutching
With all your might to your nickles and dimes
I find that in the end you're just a big old bore
And I never wnated more thatn just a little fun
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I'd always thought that we had the same goals
But now I know what you're after
You'll do anything to get what you want
and there's nothing that wouldn't put past you
It's pathetic to see how uptight you can be
When things don't all go your way
I can't seem to remember when you first began to
Start this shit
And tried to mess with my mind
I find that in the end you're just a big old..
I can't seem to recall why years have gone by
And you're still the same
You stayl trailing behind and I find that in the end
You know you're a big old bore
Who wished that she'd had more than just a little fun
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
I don't wanna behave
And I don't wanna live up to your standards
*** Enough ***
It began with a mistake,
I don't know what was at stake
I realize I was to blame, I just want things to be the same
I'll be the first to apologize and I know these things take time
I think of you and I see red even though you were alright in bed
It's not that we don't get along, it's just that you are always wrong
at least you could pretend that I was right in the end
Why won't you ever let this die, you can see how hard I've tried
Please don't hold this over my head,
lets's just say enough's been said
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
Well its's been a long long time and I've realized my crime
I wanna leave it up to you
But you never seem to come through
Why don't you finish what you start
before this whole thing falls apart
You know I'm beginning to think
that you dorve me to drink
Not that I'm placing blame
but you're giving me a bad name
Why won't you eer let this die,
you can see how hard I've tried
I guess its time to say,
Fuck Off I'm gone after today
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
I never thought this would be such a nightmare
get over your bad self, I don't... I don't really care
I don't... I don't really care
Enough is enough
I know I was to blame
I just want things to be the same
Just shut up and make it right
Just shut up and make it right
*** Everything To Lose ***
I saw you
I saw who you really were
You were something
Truly to me
Not that you would ever know
For anything
How I watched you (how I watched you)
And everything that you did (and everything)
In spite of them
Didn't you know (didn't you know)
That you had everything to lose (had everything)
Why didn't you care?
What drove you to?
Why would you?
With everything to lose
What drove you to?
How could you?
With everything to lose
You were the only
One who made sense to me
The irony
And I hate them
For everything they didn't know
But always wrote
Your vision made it (your vision made it)
Worthwhile and I knew (worthwhile and I knew)
That I lost that too
And now, I don't know (now, I didn't know)
What I should say, only that (I should say)
I know I miss you
What drove you to?
Why would you?
With everything to lose
What drove you to?
How could you?
With everything to lose
With everything to lose
How couldn't you know
Where it would go?
I don't believe that you didn't care
How could you say
That it was OK
When you lied about it each day?
What are you gonna tell them
When they are old enough to understand
Why they found you face down
What drove you to?
Why would you?
With everything to lose
What drove you to?
How could you?
With everything to lose
With everything to lose
With everything to lose
With everything, with everything
With everything to lose
*** Flyin' ***
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything
She goes into her room
And turns off all the lights
Gets a candle from her drawer
Pulls the curtain and then locks the door
It's the same old thing she wants to be alone night after night
Got herself into a mess doing what she loves the best
Flyin to avoid the rest
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything
Try to tell her what I see
and how I thind her mind's
Dying slowly day by day - but she only smiles and turns away
Doesn't wanna have to justify herself to anyone
Why do people nag her when she's only trying to have some fun
Flyin up twords the sun
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
Years went by and still
She claimed to be in control
Try to grab her on the way down - missed her hand and had to watch her drown
Even at the end her eyes were open but she couldn't see
The beauty of the world or at least what she had ment to me
Why did she fly away
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
She don't want anybody to be there for her
She don't want anything from anybody
*** Go ***
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
It's been 10 years since I left my house and
wandered off without you
Has it been that long?
It's really been that long
And in the back of my mind, I still hear you
Calling to me, shouting to me, grabbing my attention
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
You say you feel trapped and do not see
an answer to the problem
I say you gotta get out
Just get up and get out
What are you afraid of?
Living, loving, hurting, crying...
It's one and all, defend your fate, your destiny can be
what you make it...
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
Wanna go with you but I think I'll stay
And you come to me with propositions
like you really mean them
Well I've heard them before
So many times before
What are you afraid of?
Living, loving, hurting, crying...
It's one and all, defend your fate, your destiny can be
what you make it...
*** Good For Nothin' ***
They said you led your life with a well nammered state of mind
They said that you dept your eyes forward
and your feet were help by no bind
They said you were good for me, but I just
can't see how they were ever right
I guess they didn't know you half as well as they must've thaught
I guess your friends are just as fooled ad you
and you talk and talk but you aint doing nothing
You said that in all the world there were
only teo things you dispised
The first was a coward and the second one was a liar
Forgot to add hypocrite to your little list of how to run your life
I guess your friends are just as fooled ad you
and you talk and talk but you aint doing nothing
Well I say I lead my life with a well mannered state of mind
I say I like to keep moving forward and be held by no binds
You may call me ambitious, but I don't see
houw ther's any other way to be
Cause a day is a lifetime if you'll only sweep your problems away
I guess your friends are just as fooled ad you
and you talk and talk but you aint doing nothing
*** He Wants Me Back ***
Yesterday the leaves were brown, and I was wearing a big frown
because my lover left me for the girl that he had loved before
The sky was cloudy then turned blue, because I saw it was no use to
want someone whose heart was elsewhere so I've decided not to care
He wants me back but he can't have me
He wants me back, there's no denying
He wants me back, he's on his knees
Now we'll see who's crying
The grass is greener without you, it's true, so many things for me to
do
Living my life for me and on my own
It's so great to be alone
And now you're knocking on my door, ha, ha, you've realized you love
me more
Well I've no time to hear apologies, I've got the world to see
He wants me back but her can't have me
He wants me back, there's no denying
He wants me back, he's on his knees
Now we'll see who's crying
*** Mr. Blue ***
You've had all the breaks
Learning from your mom's mistakes
Eating off your daddy's plate
Spending all your wasted taste
You can't see past your gate
Once I saw you dip your toe
Past the line at the end of the road
But frightened you came running home
Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing
You've had all the luck
They fought it out for you
Without them you'd be stuck
They held your hand to walk through
Don't forget you're bored
And that's your only problem
Times for you ain't tough
Try showing them some gratitude
Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing
Hey there Mr Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, or what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue
Inside your white fence
The glass house you've created
Things are getting tense
Don't feel appreciated
Glance out of your window
It looks like sun to me
But you just count the clouds
Sigh and beg for sympathy
Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing
Hey there Mr Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr Blue
You could sit there forever
Blaming others but never
Allowing things to get better
I keep trying
Maybe I should just give up
Hey there Mr Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue
Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing
Hey there Mr Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr Blue
*** Pickup Lines ***
I opened up the door and then I walked into the bar
Through the smoky dime lit haze, I saw him from afar
Moved a little closer just to get a better view
He looked at me and smilied and said "I'm the one for you"
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind
Saw another guy right then, his suit was tailor-made
Unfortunately so were his lines much to my dismay
Thought he had me pegged, tried to impress me with is cash
"You'd look great on my yacht" was the best line that he had
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind
Over in the corner I saw this one all alone
Looked like Mr. Natural, the kind you would take home
At least until he opened his mouth "Hey babe, what's your sign?"
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind
Got fed up, decided to leave after one last drink
Felt a tap on my shoulder and started to think...
I can't take this anymore, what will this line be?
That's when he let his line fly "Hi, my name is Steve"
Where have you been all my life sweet thing?
Can I buy you a drink, marry you, anything?
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy dumb or blind
*** Pictures ***
If you don't know me
Please why don't you tell me
'Cause I don't wanna be with you no more
The stories that you tell
Please somebody else
I feel that something falling in your voice
I lived that battle to move past the shadow
That's why I won't woke you anymore
Something's gonna boom, dying tell me true
As I look into that spin of broken glass
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
If you don't know me
Please why don't you tell me
'Cause I don't wanna be with you no more
The stories that you tell
Please somebody else
I feel that something falling in your voice
If I got it buckled would you ran away and possible
Again it would as aductive since again
Something's gonna boom, dying tell me true
As I look into that spin of broken glass
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
Now you don't got a picture of me anymore
*** Queen For A Day ***
It's never gonna work out
Quite the way that they plan
Their little greasy games
They'll drop you just as son as they can pick you up
It might be fun for a while
What happenes tomorrow?
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away
Wonder why they think about
What they can get from me
I guess I'll let em believe
Whatever it is they want to see
I know it's sick
I hope it's only paranoia
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away
Admit it's not all bad
It's almost like a real cheap high
Till you get knocked on your ass
Thinking you can fly
Suppose it's something that you learn before you die
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
Oh, I got what you want and I may just walk away
I don't wanna be no queen for a day
I just gotta get away
Gotta get away
*** Shelley ***
Why are you listening to all the things they tell you everyday?
Why are you listening, what happened to your own mind anyway?
Why are you listening to their advice on what to watch and do?
Why are you listening, has your mind been overrun - what do I do?
I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace of the past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope that this won't last
Oh Shelley
Oh shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me
What are you doing? It's been too long, I never even see you
What are you doing? You're a different girl but I don't know who
What are you doing? Fall asleep and disappear for days
What are you doing? Come back flying in a total haze
I don't know how they pulled you fast and buried all the trace of the past
I don't know how you left so fast - I really hope tht this won't last
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me
What are you thinking? I suspect you're losing it for good
What are you thinking? Promise I would save you if I could
What are you thinking? I probably don't even wanna know
What are you thinking? Please just say goodbye befor you go
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley
Oh Shelley listen to me
*** So Sue Us ***
I heard you had a mind to sue
Why I don't know, I guess your lawyer will tell us so
You can have my bongos and that little plastic thing I put
my vitams in
You can have my amplifier, just make sure you're
grounded when you're plugging it in
I don't think you know just what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue
I don't know why you thought we would try
To clean up our mess - I guess you're suing so we
confess
Yeah, we left the dirty matress in the doorway but we
could not get it through
Yeah, two windows did get broken, but by the two
dealers who were looking for you
I don't think you just what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue
I heard you had a mind to sue
Is the rumor true? I guess it is - the joke's on you
You can have my 8 track player and the Stevie Wonder
record I just bought
I could probably dig up some old Shonen Knife, but it's
really all that I've got
I don't think you knowjust what you're getting into
You're spending lots of money to get nothin
So sue us, whatcha gonna do with us
Just sue us, whatcha gonna get
Well nothin, cause all of us are flat broke
Go ahead and try to do all you can do to sue
*** Sticky ***
Nevermind the time when you were all alone and I
Picked you up like a ditry Bit O Honey
Licked you clean and found a house of wax for you to stay
You set fire to it on your second full day
Then I thaught that we had reached an understanding
Wouldn't find coal at the bottom of the stocking
Instead you swung it at my head and nearly knocked me dead
Thought about it while I sat there thinking just bled
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless your not quite done,
then go on and have more fun
I often think about the way that I will watch you die
It's kind of creepy, but I'm looking forward to it
I'll probably try to linger over it a little while
You will fall down on your own knofe and I'll just smile
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless your not quite done,
then go on and have more fun
Two can play is rally all that I have left to say
Your edge is getting dull
Is nearing time to sharpen
Get a mirror so that you can see what's gonna be
Afraid it's gonna look like untimely death to me
Pull the knife out of my back
Clean the blade and put it back
Pull the knife out of my back
Unless your not quite done,
then go on and have more fun
*** The Real You ***
I smile at you at the show,
Bullshit along with your niceties,
Then I sit back and watch you
Suck up to people to want to be,
Cause I've got it
That you're not it
And it's just a matter of time
Before one by one
Your friends
Fully discover
The Real You.
I gotta say you're good at what you do -
Charming first impressions,
But you're not keeping everyone fooled
Beware of their suspicions
Cause they'll get it
That you're not it
And it's just a matter of time
Before one by one
Your friends
Fully discover
The Real You.
*** We Owe ***
I don't know just where it
all goes, I', in debt up to my nose
Get credit now for 20 percent, buy a car, don't spend a cent
Take a ride, don't you like nice, you can look
good for a price
Go to London for a year, hope you can survive on a beer
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
I don't know who thought that I would do well with a
credit line
First it was a stereo, then a snowboard and a phone
Finally found a new guitar, put some money down on a car
Next gig aint for seventh weeks, holy hell I'm up a creek
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
I don't know where it all goes, guess it was the job I choose
Gone a week and late on rent, my landlord is always bent
You'd think I could save a dime, working alway, all the time
Wanna quit but I don't know, oh we owe, we owe, we owe,
we owe
I don't know where it all went, haven't got a single cent
Took my car away from me, now I'm riding RTD
Cut my card up yesterday, guess it's the price I pay
Got a new one in the mail - look at me settin sail
I feel us sinking in credit quicksand
I feel us choking
Oh, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe
