*** Alone ***

I saw you today.
Had nothing to say.
I just walked on by right on my way.
You flashed me a smile, I threw it right back.
It wasn't my miss I know for a fact.

Why won't you why won't you leave me alone!?
Why won't you why won't you leave me alone?!
Why won't you why won't you leave me alone?!
I want to get out on my own!

I went to the store to get me some eats,
I grabbed a box of shredded wheats.
And through the shelf, I saw your face.
Why must you follow me every place?

Why won't you why won't you leave me alone!?
Why won't you why won't you leave me alone?!
Why won't you why won't you leave me alone?!
I want to get out on my own!

I decided to move, had to get away.
To a distant island in honnelei(spelling?)
My friends through me a party, to get me boned, you were there won't you leave me alone!?

Why won't you why won't you leave me alone!?
Why won't you why won't you leave me alone?!
Why won't you why won't you leave me alone?!
I want to get out on my own!

*** Already Gone ***

Do you remember,
that feeling, that we had long ago
Well it's almost gone
I can sense it for an instant,
then like snow in my hand,
It melts away

Will we ever, accept that,
It's already gone.

Pushing, pulling, stretching,
Trying hard to force it into shape
But the harder that we work it
The less it will ever be the same.
Pushing, pulling, stretching,
Trying hard to force it into shape
Pushing, pulling, stretching,
Trying, it will never be the same.

Do you remember,
last summer, sitting in a rented car
As the night rolled by
And you said I wasn't trying
And I know you were right
Don't know why I lied

Will we ever, accept that
It's already gone

Pushing, pulling, stretching,
Trying hard to force it into shape
But the harder that we work it
The less it will ever be the same.
Pushing, pulling, stretching,
Trying hard to force it into shape
Pushing, pulling, stretching,
Trying, it will never be the same.

*** Average Guy (7-11 Man) ***

I work at the 7-11, that's how I get all my pay.
Sometimes I work all the night, sometimes I work all the day.
I sell junk to all of my friends, I sell almost everything.
Pizza pies and chicken pies, even eraseable pens.

I'm just an average guy, every day I risk my life.
Please don't kill me tonight, there's only a twenty in the register, alright?

Strange things happen to me every day, my boss says you just learn to say: all I do is wait and wait and pray: "will I make it through another hectic day?"
Every hour I supersceme my life, my parents wondering if I was raised up right.
I got three cameras to film the bloody sight of people who may just murder me tonight.

I'm just an average guy, every day I risk my life.
Please don't kill me tonight, there's only a twenty in the register, alright?

My work also has it's benefits, I get to watch people fit all that they can fit into their coats and pockets with hand because noone is afraid of the 7-11 man.
Cokes, jelly beans, and bagels so right, eating packs of chewing gum all threw the night.
Six more hours the sun will rise and I'm just a working man who's trying to survive.

I'm just an average guy, every day I risk my life.
Please don't kill me tonight, there's only a twenty in the register, alright?

*** Away From Here ***

When I see you
and I know you don't see me
I try to imagine how it must be now
to walk this world alone
to walk this world alone
to carry on and do it on your own
With everybody working and everybody trying
with your hands in the air while their lying
everybody's doing their best and realizing
As we watch we see you falling further
the world's in custody for your murder
is there any hope for you
is there anything we can do
I look to see
If the world's catching up to me
Would someone give me something to help me to believe
That you won't be left alone
That you won't be left alone
To carry on and do it on your own
You're making moves
You're making plans
Progress is in you hands
It's not your fault that nobody understands
the pains you feel
They are for real
they slow you down
and re-appear
just as soon as you
walk away from here

*** Box ***

I know a guy who lives in a box
He built it himself of cement and rocks
And he’ll never come out thought I beg and plead
He’s got all that he wants if not all that he needs
You see he couldn’t take the world and what it’s done to him
He just had to escape, had to shut himself in
Now hes walls are his friends so he’s never alone
And he’s never bothered in his cubic home

Living in a box
Every night and day
Living in a box
And I’m here to stay
Living in a box
There’s no escape
And though I tries
I can never get away , hey

Out in my box that is also my van
Just another six weeks of one night stands
And I can’t get away, cause It’s where that I go
From the van to the club to our nightly hotel
You see it takes me to places, even took me to you
I got no choice, gotta pay my dues
Worth it or not, there’s no escape from my cell
One hour of fun for twenty-three of hell

Living in a box for so long
I got to find my way out to go on
And what I got is no time for you
I’m in my box without a thing to do

Look at yourself, you’re living the same
Locked behind walls that your brother has made
You where born in a box, you work in a box, you live in a box
And you’ll die in a box

So much more that’s outside youre sphere
But you walk on never knowing how near
So much more than the walls do show
But if you're not careful then you’ll never know

*** Brain On Ska ***

Drinkin' in the pub just the other night,
this girl comes up to me and says "what would ya like?"
I said another beer another pitcher or two.
Drank a few more rounds and the night was through!

This is your brain, this is your brain on ska!
This is your brain, this is your brain on ska!

Dancin' on the floor just hoppin' and skankin'...
D.J. on the mic won't stop crankin'.
Give me any music that'll move my feet,
give me any music with a two-tone beat!

This is your brain, this is your brain on ska.
This is your brain, this is your brain on ska!

Pork pie hats, and Fred Parry shirts,
drinkin' cheap beer and chasin' skirts!
But what it's really all about is plain to see:
simply havin' fun and unity!

This is your brain, this is your brain on ska! This is your brain, this is your brain on ska!

*** Everything Girl ***

Don't know what you see
When you look at me girl
It's not plain to see
That's what frightens me now
'Cause I know, what I show
Might not be what I know
Yeah I been, beaten down
But you changed that for me
You'll never know how low I was before
'Cause I've been changed since you walked through my door
You can be my everything girl
You can be my reason why
Now you've changed up everything girl
Now I know the reason why I try
Girl you've blown my mind
I don't recognize me
Looking back at time
No longer dead inside me
Yeah I know, what I show,
Isn't what I'm thinking
So I'll say, to you now
While I got you listening

*** Funami ***

Looking back,
From where I came
At a choice I made
That was one big mistake
Cause in the crowd
I tried to hide
Couldn't keep the pace
So I had to break the stride
Can't punch the clock
Can't walk the walk
Abhor the rut
And never stop
Your life is not for me
Every step
that I tried to take
was a step behind
Lost in the wake
And every truth
It became a lie
One question asked
That question is "why?'
I'm giving up but I'm not giving in
I'll make the stand
Not to stand in line.

*** Grow Up ***

When I was just a little boy, I'd sit around all day. Thinking about
the future to pass the time of day. With my friends sittin' laughin',
they would mainly laugh at me, because I was always different, it was
all so plain to see. Didn't want to be a fireman, a cowboy, or a cop.
I was always different like a sore thumb I stuck out. Because even in
my dreams I won't pretend to age, I knew a life of normacy was nothing
but a cage.
When I grow up, I don't want to be like you!
To be a barbarian would be a lot of fun. Sit around, eat raw meat in the
mid day sun. I'd dance around the fire, like a madman I would yell, I'd
smell a bit I'd fart a lot, I'd cut class and I'd belch. I'd sack the
Roman Empire and do with a grin. I'd set the cities all ablaze...do it
on a whim. And people would shriek as I was coming into town, because
I'd bring my minotaur to help me fry it down.
When I grow up, I want something fun to do. I don't know much, but this
much I know is true..when life is short, I don't want to be like you!

When I grow up I think I want to be white trash living in a trailer park
and sitting on my ass. I'd beat my wife, I'd kiss my kiss, I'd pass out
in the lawn. I'd steal my brewskies from my mom and often kick my dog.
I'd go to work an hour later, bitch about my boss. i'D TELL SEXIST JOKES
TO ALL MY FRIENDS TO GET MY WEIGHT ACROSS. And every friday night I think
I'd bowl a round or two, because standing watching monster trucks is just
the thing to do!!
When I grow up, I want something fun to do. I don't know much, but this
much I know is true..when life is short, I don't want to be like you!

*** Gum ***

Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.
Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.
I didn't know that it could be so much fun, to spend my life just chewin' gum.
Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.

I say it is a natural obsession, in fact it's on my very posession.
So super fruity, you're makin' me chew.
I'm so glad that I found you underneath the stool.
With all the gum that passes my way, in my mouth you will always stay.
I vow to stick with you through thick and thin, even though the cavities are starting to set in.

Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.
Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.
I didn't know that it could be so much fun, to spend my life just chewin' gum.
Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.

My friends say that it will never last, said soon your flavor will be a thing of the past.
But I don't listen to a wordt hey say because I know that you were the best part of my day.
With all the gum that passes my way, in my mouth you will always stay.
I vow to stick with you through thick and thin, even though the cavities are startin' to set in.

Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.
Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.
I didn't know that it could be so much fun, to spend my life just chewin' gum.
Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.

*** Insomnia ***

Close my eyes but I can't shake my head.
Still not over those words you said, tossin' and turnin' rolling in the night.
She's tying knots, seems that nothing is right.
Sweat on my brow, my adrenaline's flowing, eyes burning red, my anxiety's growing.
As soon as I'm asleep, it will be tomorrow, and that just fills my head full of sorrow.
Insomnia's got the best of me, I've got no choice but to stare at the ceiling.
Insomnia has a hold on me, you don't even know the stress I'm feeling.
Clock on the wall's moving faster and faster, your voice in my mind like a broken record.
Tossing and turning, rolling in the night.
She's tying knots, seems that nothing is right.
Feeling my heart, pounding like a drum, reminding me again that my day was too long.
Drank all my wine that my cuboard is bare, still no escape from this waking nightmare.
Insomnia's got the best of me, I've got no choice but to stare at the ceiling.
Insomnia has a hold on me, you don't even know the stress I'm feeling.

*** Lolita ***

Lolita, I wanna meet ya I wanna take you in my arms and squeeze ya, 'cause you amaze me, ya really slay me and every touch just drives me crazy. But the man says that our love ain't real, and the world won't accept the way I feel. If only our love, they could only see, but today our love can never be.
Every time that we're together I get the feeling that its never been better your love just blows me away. Tell me that you're thinkin' of me and that you put no one else above me, I need ya baby right now!
Lolita, Since I met ya, Girl you know I could never forget ya. And I know now, I'm making my vow, that we're gunna be together some day.

*** Mend Your Ways ***

I think there's something, you should know
Time to hit the road, find the door, yeah ya gotta go
Cuz I been down this road now a million times
I've heard every one of your bullshit lines
If ya think I'm gunna listen just one more time
You got a problem now!
For all I've said
And all I've done
You'll never be
No you'll never be the one
You've come back, said ya mend't your ways
Your dimestore smile don't hide what you betray
I know you ain't no friend of mine
You better find a sucker further down the line
I seen the light and the truth is mine
Ya ain't welcome here

*** Mr. Smiley ***

I remember how it used to be, and all the things you said to me.
You always taught me right from wrong.
Wrong from right, right from wrong.
'Til you went on the killing spree, and killed your family.
Why is this the way things have to be?
Oh Mr. Smiley, how could it be true, the things they say that they knew?
I can't believe it!
What has happened to you?
I took my time while thinking it through.
Digging through facts, believing in you.
Oh Mr. Smiley.
Give me a clue, why they said it was you, I can't accept it!
Tell me it's not true.
Because you were once so good to me, oh Mr. Smiley tell me how it could be.
You always had a smile on your face, I never thought youd become a criminal case.
Until I saw your face on my T.V.
Was it just for entertainment?
Because now you face solitary confinement, in jail.
Why is this the way it has to be?
Tell me!
Oh Mr. Smiley, how could it be true, the things they say that they knew?
I can't believe it!
What has happened to you?
I took my time while thinking it through.
Digging through facts, believing in you.
Oh Mr. Smiley.
Give me a clue, why they said it was you, I can't accept it!
Tell me it's not true.
Because you were once so good to me, oh Mr. Smiley tell me how it could be.
Oh Mr. Smiley, what has happened to you?
Tell me it's not true!

*** Murder In The Tulip City ***

Murder In Tulip City The story your about to hear is true.
Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
This could happen to any city.
It could happen to your city, but it didn't.
It happened in Tulip City.
Murder In Tulip City!
In Tulip City you have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to attorney.
You have the right to wear funny wooden shoes.
You have the right to eat rusks.
You have the right to redeem double coupons on Tuesdays.
But most of all, you have the right to fear for your life as you tread in the shadow of the Dutch Mafia.
Murder In Tulip City!
My name's Agent 357.
I've seen a lot of cecile destruction in my day.
But nothing that compares to Tulip City.
Bodies floating down the Grande, poison windmill cookies, people mowing their lawns on Sundays.
You see, nothing is as obscene and unsightly as when decent, honest, hard-working, upstanding people take control of the underground.

*** Schoolboy ***

Your rosy lips tease me when you speak and the way you smell just makes me freak.
The sound of your voice is giving me chills and the warmth of your skin gives me such a thrill. You're giving me willies and there's shivers down my spine.
One look at you logic's left behind.
Girl, you're an apple who is in my eye cause you're as warm as fire and as sweet as pie.

One look at you and I don't want to be alone.
Girl, you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner.

Since you crossed my path nothing was the same.
Your simple chants caused a flux in my brain.
I can't hold my lunch and you're making me sweat.
My life is in chaos since the day that we met.
I trip on my feet, I walk into walls, my voice is always quavering, not taking the fall.
When you're not around my heart's in despair, but when you say my name girl, I'm walking on air.

One look at you and I don't want to be alone.
Girl, you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner.

Oi vay I'm giving up my hope.
I hawked at a pawn shop.
I should've known better, should've known to be a loan shark.
I made my mistake, made it from the start.
I should've followed my head instead of my heart.
Well, I got no choice, got to jump in the pool.
Gotta go head first though I feel like a fool.
Gotta say how I feel.
Gotta stake my claim.
Gotta act like a nerd, gotta go insane.
Gotta swallow my pride, it's really not bad to lose.
If there's a chance in hell than it's worth all I do.
Gotta mean what I say, gotta say what I mean, cause you're the only honey who is making my scene.

One look at you and I don't want to be alone.
Girl, you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner.

*** Send You Back ***

I saw it on a cereal box, 'said it costs just three mere bucks.
I shipped it off with seven tops, and waited by the mail.
In seven weeks it finally came, I ripped the box without no shame, I turned it on, it fell apart but that was just the start.
I know the time is right, won't let the chance go by.
I'll give it one more try before I send, before I send it back.
I met her at an Eastown bar, I knew it wouldn't go real far.
I called her up, we had a date, another after that.
Then there was a sudden change, the silly girl forgot my name, I knew it was just all her game but it could not be the same

*** So Far To Go ***

The other day,
walking home,
in my sight,
caught the hate,
turn away,
Can't deny
Written on the wall.
And I thought
to myself
what could change
how'd it start
who are they
how can I
make 'em take a fall
So far to go
Barely made a dent
Won't turn around
Not going back again
Every day
Money flows
Status Quo
Cities die
While they thrive
Zero Sum
Just the way it goes
Now's the time
You & I
Gotta try
to unite
Every side
Gotta fight
Gotta turn the flow
Must reach down, inside myself, and find your hate and cast it out.

*** Someday, Right Now! ***

If I could
You know I would
And I probably should
Since the first day that I met you
'Wanted to speak my mind, at least, you know I meant to.
Good intentions, getting me nowhere
Somehow got to find my way to tell you now.....
You don't know how much you mean to me
And my life can't be the same
But my hesitancy stands ten stories tall
I've got to find a way, to tell you now....
Someday....Right Now....Someday....
No use fighting, what I'm thinking
Sometimes saying nothing's, worse that lying
Gotta swallow, (my) reservations
Now's the time to spit out every word I say.....
Someday....Right Now....

*** Sorry Now ***

This song is over
you think it's just begun
It's the start where it all went wrong
Won't be the band aid
for your affliction
Every time it rains you think I'm a raincoat

And you say I said I wasn't gunna say I'm sorry
Like that song that I sang before
I know
that it hurts
This time it won't last forever

I'm sorry now
But not sorry enough no, no
I'm sorry now
It's too late to say I'm sorry.

And your friends say
You're a fool to believe
and they're right but not in the right way
I'm lost
as I try to decieve
it's a lie that we're speaking the same language

It's a sin to say I'm sorry that's its even over
As you bite down on that bullet
I know
that it hurts
This time it won't last forever.

I'm sorry now
But not sorry enough no, no
I'm sorry now
It's too late to say I'm sorry.

I know it's cruel, but
that we are through, and
I can't be the one you cry to
but it won't make a difference to you

*** Sweet Potato ***

You are my sweet potato, the one who looks so fine, growing in my garden.
I'll serve you up with wine.
You are my tasty morsel, my one and only wish is to have you lying, lying on my dish.

Boil you bake you fry you.
Serve you up steaming hot.
Boil you bake you fry you.
You are my potato tot!

I can't stop dreaming about you, how I love you so.
I can't stop dreaming about you, my girl from Idaho.
You are my foxy potato, I love to dig your groove.
Habababadooba, you make me want to move!

Boil you bake you fry you.
Serve you up steaming hot.
Boil you bake you fry you.
You are my potato tot!

Boil you bake you fry you.
Serve you up steaming hot.
Boil you bake you fry you.
You are my potatoe tot!

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

*** Thigh High Nylons ***

Poodle doos and saddle shoes don't mean a thing to me, it's your thigh
high nylons that bring me to my knees. Bring back the classic bob, and
drop the shaggy crop. In your thigh high nylons, my eyes are spinning
and they won't stop.
Thigh high nylons, you're alright, thigh high nylons, you're out of sight,
won't you get those thigh highs on tonight?
Forget the floppy hippy skirt, and lose the sloppy dyes. In your thigh
high nylons, you'll always catch my eye. It's not the days of old, so
take off that fir. In your thigh high nylons is all you need and nothing
more!
Thigh high nylons, so fine, thigh high nylons,I'll make you mine, won't
you get those thigh highs on tonight?
I caught you walking in the corner of my eye and my field of vision was
on your thigh highs. I tried to make my move, but I hit the wall, lying
flat on the floor you make the call. It wasn't that though, that i heard
from the lips, I take a watch at the swinging hips. It was like that what
was I to do so I stepped on back and took a sip of my brew. Said the first
time that my face turned red, you left me lyin' dead with a bullet in
my head. 'Cause at the end of it all I just don't know but your thigh
high nylons are stealing the show. Panty hose? NO, we need thigh high
nylons. Black tights? NO, we need thigh high nylons! Bobby socks? NO,
we need thigh high nylons. Nothing compares to what i got my eyes on. 1-2-1-2-3-4
Whatever happened to the mini skirt, that meant so much to me. In your
thigh high nylons, that's what I want to see. What you wrap around your
legs, that fabric of my life. In your thigh nylons I got you in my sights!

Thigh high nylons, you're alright, thigh high nylons, you're out of sight,
won't you get those thigh highs on tonight?
Thigh high nylons, so fine, thigh high nylons,I'll make you mine, won't
you get those thigh highs on tonight?

*** Throw A Bomb ***

I had a bad day so I said to myself
I wanna have fun, gunna raise some hell
Gunna show this world my time has come
Gunna go and blow up everyone
So I went to the store and bought me some gas
Poured it into my old man's flask
Called all my friends to join along
And now....
I wanna throw a bomb
Gunna throw a bomb tonight
Second day was as bad as the first
I thought it'd get better, it only got worse
Had a flat tire, was late to work
Then I got fired cause me boss, he's a jerk!
So I called up my girl
she gave me the boot
I ain't got no money
or a bite of food
Can't take no more
Gunna blow up the town
Yeah I.....
I wanna throw a bomb
Militia, Freemen, IRA
Feminists, Panthers, Radical gays
Zapitistas down by Mexico way
Right to lifers have your say
Shiites, contras, break away
Anarchist punks in the USA
Once you start you're here to stay
So come on everybody, Let's bomb today

*** Time Will Come ***

Girl since the day your eyes met mine,
I knew it from the start
You were going to steal my heart
Then, a world of doubt led you astray
Into his arms you went to lay
And through me tears I looked away
So I'll wait and I'll pray
Til the day that you say that you will be mine
Yes I'll wait and I'll pray
Til the day that you say that you will be mine
Girl, its time we got real,
I'd be a fool to conceal
The world of love you make me feel
I know
I know our time will come
I know our time will come

*** To Be ***

I tied on my boots and strapped on my bracelet to go out and meet some new faces.
Went to the store to buy some dark gin, and now I know my night's ready to begin.
A dozen friends in my big 'ol car, my '62 Buick can't take us too far.
Out for the night, it'll be so rude, gotta hold us down before the night is through.

In Grand Rapids, there's nothing to do when you're down it's the same way too.
Gotta get up, do the best that you can.
To be a fool, is to be a man.

Well I went to the party with the big 'ol keg.
They said the way I drank, they thought I had a hollow leg.
Standing around, starting to groove, with my beer in hand I think I'll plot my next move.
I spot a pretty girl giving me a wink trying to catch my eye, or so I think.
Such a fool I am, should not have overlooked that her eyes were only clouded by the smoke.

There's nothing to do when you're down it's the same way too.
Gotta get up, do the best that you can.
To be a fool, is to be a man.

Well I went to Denny's to buy me some food, said it's the only place that can put me in the mood.
I order my fries and I always complain, but the way they taste I think I'd rather eat them plain.
But I'm still with my friends, still having fun talking shit while the night is still young.
But I bet they watch me drink as much as I'm able, I know they'll laugh when they find me passed out on the table.

There's nothing to do when you're down it's the same way too.
Gotta get up, do the best that you can.
To be a fool, is to be a man

*** Too Stoopid ***

The first time I saw you you said you were drunk,
too much beer, or so you thunk.
A night of drinking had clouded your head,
and in another day you wouldn't
know what you said. You said you were sorry as you drooled on my shoe,
and I just laughed at one sight of you.
You couldn't walk straight and you slurred when you spoke,
and I thought it was just a joke.
I want to love you but you're too damn stoopid,
I want to love you but you're just plain dumb.
I want to love you but you're head's full of air,
you're stone dumb but I don't care.
Well the second time I saw you you said you were sick,
strong cough syrup and many of it.
Stomach cramps and a blistering fever,
I carved your thoughts like a butcher's cleaver.
Your? you said it yourself.
You needed some rest, you felt like hell.
All your medication had made you slow,
but it was yourself, how was I to know?
I want to love you but you're too damn stoopid,
I want to love you but you're just plain dumb.
I want to love you but you're head's full of air,
you're stone dumb but I don't care.
The third time I saw you you hadn't slept a wink,
not enough Zs you just couldn't think.
You tossed and turned the whole night long,
and when you awoke the world seemed wrong.
It was much too early, your eyes were lead,
you said you felt like the living dead.
Sleep deprivation was the word today,
but how should i have known you were always this way?
I want to love you but you're too damn stoopid,
I want to love you but you're just plain dumb.
I want to love you but you're head's full of air,
you're stone dumb but I don't care.
The last time i saw, you had nothing to claim,
you couldn't think fast enough to even explain.
I looked into you eyes and could see your teeth.
It's strange enough, what you're saying to me...a rocket scientist you
will never be, you'll never be a master of philosophy.
But dumb as you are, I can plain to see,
it doesn't take a brain to see what you mean to me!
I want to love you but you're too damn stoopid,
I want to love you but you're just plain dumb.
I want to love you but you're head's full of air,
you're stone dumb but I don't care.

*** We're Gunna Take On The World ***

Open up your ears my friend
I'll tell you a story that never ends
About the band that plays for you now
It started back in '91
started playin' just for fun
and couldn't stop ourselves, didn't know how
Then we began playing shows
And kids started tapping their toes
and people kept askin' for more
And even though we really sucked
We kept it up, didn't give a fuck
'Cause that's what the music is for
We're gunna take on the world
Common, Every boy, Every girl
We're gunna take on the world
Common, Every boy, Every girl
Then a man from Hollywood
He said to sign, he said we should
But we were to drunk to respond
"You'll be so rich" yeah said the man
"you'll get a bus and leave the van"
but we were too punk to move on
So we went back on the road
And kids kept on coming to shows
We sang, danced, and drank lots of beer
And so it goes, we'll never stop
We tour 'til we reach the top
We'll tour 'til the end of our years...

*** We Want The Mustard ***

We want the mustard, all over our heads...that's what he said.
We want the mustard all inside our beds..yeah.
We want mustard all over our feet, people want to dance to the mustard beat!
We want the mustard, we want the Mustard PLUG! x4
We want the want the mustard, in our eyes.
I want the mustard on my tie.
We want the mustard on our face.
We want mustard all over the place
We want the mustard, we want the Mustard PLUG! x4
I want the mustard in my ear, I want mustard in my beer.
We want the mustard in our mugs.
Oh thats right, we're the Mustard Plug! HA HA!
We want the mustard, we want the Mustard PLUG! x4

*** Yesterday ***

I know you're happy when you smile
I know it's taken me awhile
I know I'm going out of style
10,000 miles from you
But everything is still O.K.
'Cause I'm closer everyday
Which is more than I would have to say
If I was next to you
Think of all the times and places
Step across the open spaces, that lead back to you
And you know that I won't let you go
Sometimes so near and now so far
Retrace the paces that have brought me here
Close my eyes and move along
Thinking, looking, hoping that I'll find a way
You know, that I, can't stop counting all the days
That you're not here to say
You know I miss you more
More than yesterday
I know sometimes that in my past
Lost direction had to ask
I know I wouldn't ever last
Without you
But everything is still O.K.
'Cause I'm closer everyday
Which is more than I would have to say
If I was next to you

*** You ***

You never told me
What was wrong or what was right
You never told me
Why you couldn't sleep at night
I know you've heard this before
But I'll say it once more
You've done all you can
And you can't do any more
But thats alright
'Cause I'll just wait and see
Till you realize
You never told me

You never told me
You never you never
You never told me
And I know that things have changed
As I know they always do
And I know we're not the same
To think we were I was a fool
But I never thought I'd see
Even in my darkest dream
'Cause full circle will remain
The most unkindest cut of all

You never told me
Why you were never around
You never told me
Why you were so popular in town
I know that it's true
That the damage is done
That you wasted my time
While you were out having fun
But that's alright
'Cause I'll just wait and see
That you realize
You never told me

But you left me every sign
So obvious for all to see
But I turned and looked away
'Cause I could not bare the thought
So I shifted all the blame
So it didn’t hurt so much
Now the weight is crushing me
I’ve got to rise and push it off

You never told me
Why you left and went away
You never told me
That this would happen to me today
I know now that you’re gone
I’m feeling so good
I always thought you’d leave
But never knew you would
But that's alright
‘Cause I’ll just wait and see
That you realize
You never told me
