CarouselƯ
I talk to you every now and then. I never
felt so alone again. I stop to think at a wishing well. My
thoughts send me on a carousel. Here I am standing on my own.
Not a motion from the telephone. I know not a reason why. Solitudes
a reason to die. Just you wait and see. As school life is a.
It is a woken dream. Aren't you feeling alone? I guess its
just another. I guess its just another. I guess its just another
night alone. Now as I walk down the street. I need a job just
to sleep in sheets. Buying food every once in a while. But
not enough to purchase a smile. A tank of gas is a treasure to me.
I know now that nothing is free. I talk to you every now and then.
I never felt so alone again. Just you wait and see. As school
life is a. It is a woken dream. Aren't you feeling alone?.
I guess its just another. I guess its just another. I guess
its just another night alone.
T.V.
When I'm at work, ya, I always rush right home
for lunch So I can check out what's up on the Brady Bunch And when I'm
walking through the front door at night I gotta see who's winning on The
Price is Right, oh I never dreamed that I'd spend my days Staring at some
tube emitting cathode rays I need my TV What's happening in this world,
I don't care at all But it better not pre-empt Monday Night Football I
can't even come up with my own views I'm taught how to think from the evening
news, oh I never dreamed that I'd spend my days Staring at some tube emitting
cathode rays I need my TV La la la...
Strings
I would do anything and that's What scares me so
bad Don't want to live my life alone Don't want to go back to what I had
Don't want to spend my life without All those special things Don't want
to walk around being tied to Anyone else's Strings, strings, strings, strings
I would do anything and that's What scares me so bad Don't want to live
my life alone Don't want to go back to what I had Don't want to spend my
life without All those special things Don't want to walk around being tied
to Anyone else's Strings, strings, strings, strings Strings, strings, strings,
strings
Fentoozler
At the risk of sounding rude Just who the fuck
do you think you are To tell me what you expect of me today? Well,
you can take your attitude You're out of luck, you've gone way too far
If you think there's any chance I'm gonna stay How long can I string you
along? How little of myself can I give And still make you believe
I care? At the risk of sounding trite Why the fuck do you think you're
right About every little thing that you say? And do you think that
it is right For Tom to spend another night Writing songs about all the
people he thinks are gay? How long can I string you along?
How little of myself can I give And still make you believe I care?
How long can I string you along How little of myself can I give And still
make you believe I care?
Time
When the clock strikes two there's just so much
to do and I can't explain what I need. Jobs and social groups, hearing
the latest news, keeping your reputation clean. And I don't want
to worry about being on time. I see the way you hurry and time runs
your life... again. The difference between East and West. Money
means so much less and objects aren't so important to buy. I wish
that a clock could often just be stopped and then we look into the time.
And I don't want to worry about being on time. I see the way you
hurry and time runs your life... again.
Romeo & Rebecca
Walking through the grass Another blade next to
you from the ground As the wind does pass I notice as you feel the breath
of my shout Your words are kind The kind that repeatedly say no But that's
alright I'm older than you so I've got time What have you said, reach out
your hand There's a black shadow on my wall But as I look into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time We've all seen the bridge A broken
seam and a girl on one side You think your words will work They only work
when you lay down and close your eyes I thought of all the lines All the
right ones used at all the wrong times But that's alright Depression's
just a sarcastic state of mind What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall But as I look into my mind I can see
that girls are a waste of time I don't want to live alone I don't want
to live in My broken dreams of you I don't want to live along with My broken
dreams of you I don't want to live along with My broken dreams of you
21 Days
My mind wanders as I'm trying not to fall in love
with you. Cause every time I awake I ponder on my mistakes of what
I said. It is always my esteem that I sure lose. Playing those
stupid games as I always end up chasing you. I can't help myself
anymore. Rehearsing my thoughts as I'm too scared to come to your
door. I pushed it all aside just to stand next to you. But
now you won't talk to me for something that I didn't do. It's not
gonna work. And I'm trying not to think of you. I'm all confused
as I think of the things that I would do. I'm all shook up as I get
all nervous inside. My emotions are something that I will always
hide.
Sometimes
Oh, how I wish that they would last Moments of
peace that just slip through me so fast Just when I think that they are
gonna stay Everything inside me just starts fading away Sometimes it seems
like all I hope for Just gets thrown down on the floor And then it seems
like you don't love me anymore Sometimes I wish that I could run away Sometimes
I wish I just had something to say. She looks at me and doesn't know
the words to say But it's not you, I just don't feel quite right today
All these things I say and do were never planned But how the fuck am I
supposed to make you understand that Sometimes it seems like all I hope
for Just gets thrown down on the floor And then it seems like you don't
love me anymore. Sometimes I wish that I could run away Sometimes
I wish I just had something to say.
Point Of View
Two different people, two different places, through
a one way window with two different faces. Agreements are not reached,
faces are forgotten. The other person's shoes, you've not got in.
Stubborn minded, enclosed to your own world. Wake up and see someone
else's morals. What right to you might be true. It's a different
point of view to you. You cannot see things that are different to
me and I can't understand why you cannot see the things that I cannot see.
I see what you don't see. I see what you don't see. Turn around
and the shadows are all around me. Two different people, two different
places, through a one way window with two different faces. Agreements
are not reached, faces are forgotten. The other person's shoes, you've
not got in.
My Pet Sally
I'm gonna wanna see myself with someone too Friends
I don't pay are friends i never knew So I took the chance and got some
help from a few And got a long and skinny friend to talk to Cause I have
the time and the liberty To play with my pet sally Please don't go away,
sally please No more lonely showers and uneaten foods My salamander has
hygiene too And he thinks of me the way I think of you The only next step
is for him to say I do Sally please don't go away I won't be living in
yesterday The lonely nights Getting beat up by gays in bar fights
Reebok Commercial
You are beter than me, Girls money and everything
I... Try to compete with you But you beat me at everything I do I see in
you The things that I would like to be But i'm different from you So you
will have to be like me I cannot be bought my personality is what I choose
I was brought up without a silver cup! I won't covet the things owned
by you For all the world Material things are now more and more Jealousy
for you and me I won't covet the things owned by your store
Toast & Bananas
Do you wanna know what I think of you? Cause you're
not the way I thought you should be Do take back what you said It's time
to fix, it's time to fix your head And now all alone, one's less than two
I've never been better off living lonely To listen to what you say I couldn't
care less of what you say What did you think of me acting this way I guess
you never really thought at all Is that what you call your brain? Is that
why I call you hang up on me? I wanted to know, I didn't want to lose And
now I'm a man who's just living small Listen to what you say I couldn't
care less of what you say To me as I walk alone I'd Much rather be riding
prone, then To be just another one you are lame to I wanted to know, I
didn't want to lose But now I'm a man who's just living small Listen to
what you say I couldn't care less of what you say To me as I tune you out
of my mind Won't bend over backwards or Take another step ahead to Hear
from you again Don't talk to me as I walk alone, I'd Much rather be riding
prone, than Be just another one you are lame to Don't talk to me as I tune
you out of my mind Won't bend over backwards or Take another step ahead
to Hear from you again Don't talk to me as I walk alone, I'd Much rather
be riding prone, than To be just another one you are lame to
The Girl Next Door (Screeching Weasel cover song)
(CD Only)
White girl living in the big city In a big apartment
house She's living with her boyfriend now She drives off every day for
school and work She washes dishes now And watches TV on the pull out couch
And every day's the same White girl moved back to the suburbs And she finally
found a man Who knows how to take care of her She bought the perfect little
house And the lawn's well manicured And she'd never missed a day of work
And every day's the same White girl couldn't go on knowing She was just
here wasting her time She drowned in the lake last night They found her
bloated body floating But she still walks around Performing all her daily
chores She still don't know what life's about Cause every day's the same
And she's got no one to love.
Don't (CD Only)
There was a time long ago, but it seemed like yesterday,
when all I wanted was you. And now you make a segway as you turn
your face away. And I know your words aren't true. And I don't
want your lies. And I don't think that I'm better than you inside.
And you can take off your disguise, cause I can see the truth that's hidden
behind your eyes. And all those words that you don't say just mean
less and less each day. You can't make me shed a tear. I think
about tomorrow, another day of sorrow, but I don't think that I'll be here.
And I don't want your lies. And I don't think that I'm better than
you inside. And you can take off your disguise, cause I can see the
truth that's hidden behind your eyes.

tongue.

My mom is not a woman anymore, She dresses like
a man She's not as feminine as she Used to be before. Now she is
so damned masculine. I open my eyes My mom's not a woman anymore
She's wearing a disguise Everytime she leaves through that door My mom's
not quite the same As she was in the past If I misbehave she kicks my ass
My mom's not quite the Woman that she was before When my friends come over
She likes to wrestle them down to the floor My mom's a transvestite.
