GRACE KELLY

 

"I wanna talk to you."
"The last time we talked Mr. Smith, you reduced me to tears. I promise you it won't happen again."


Do I attract you
Do I repulse you
with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty
Am I too flirty
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
Guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Without making me try?

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

"Getting angry doesn't solve anything"

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want, you want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door! (x2)

"Humphrey! We're leaving."
"Ka-ching!"

LOLLIPOP

 

Hey! What's the big idea?
Yo, Mika!

I said sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down
I said sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down

Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh love's gonna get you down

I went walking with my momma one day
When she warned me what people say
Live your life until love is found
'Cause love's gonna get you down.
Take a look at the girl next door
She's a player and a downright bore
Jesus loves her but she wants more
Oh, bad girls get you down.

Sing it!
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh love's gonna get you down

Mama told me what I should know
Too much candy gonna rot your soul
If she loves you let her go
'Cause love only gets you down
Take a look at a boy like me
Never stood on my own two feet
Now I'm blue as I can be
Oh love come get me down

Sing it!
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh love's gonna get you down

I went walking with my momma one day
When she warned me what people say
Live your life until love is found
Or love's gonna get you down

Sing it!
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
oh love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Oh love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh love's gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh love's gonna get you down

Mama told me what I should know
Too much candy gonna rot your soul
If she loves you let her go
'Cause love only gets you down

Waa-oh waa-oh waa-oh lollipop
Waa-oh waa-oh waa-oh lollipop
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
oh love's gonna get you down
Sucking too hard on your lollipop
oh love's gonna get you down

MY INTERPRETATION

 

You talk about life, you talk about death
And everything in between
Like it's nothing and the words are easy
You talk about me, you talk about you
And everything I do
Like it's something that needs repeating

I don't need an alibi or for you to realize
The things we left unsaid
Are only taking space up in our heads
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
And curse me up and down
It doesn't matter now

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care what you say
Or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense

The first two weeks turn into ten
I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen
Does it really matter?
If half of what you said is true
And half of what I didn't do could be different
Would it make it better?
If we forget the things we know
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down, I can see that now

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care what you say
Or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense

It's really not such a sacrifice

If I never talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care what you say
Or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense

And it don't have to make no sense to you at all
'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah

LOVE TODAY

 

Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di

Everybody's gonna love today
Gonna love today, gonna love today
Everybody's gonna love today, gonna love today
Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to
Love love me, love love me, love love

I've been crying for so long
Fighting tears just to carry on
But now, but now, it's gone away

Hey girl why can't you carry on
Is it 'cause you're just like your mother?
A little tight, like to tease for fun
Well you ain't gonna tease no other
Gonna make you a lover

Everybody's gonna love today
love today, love today
Everybody's gonna love today
Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to
Love love me, love love me, love love
Girl in the blue with the big bust on
Big bust on, big bust on
Wait till your mama and your papa's gone
Papa's gone
Mama, mama papa, shock shock me
Shock shock me, shock shock

I said
Everybody's gonna love today
Gonna love today, gonna love today
I said
Everybody's gonna love today, gonna love today
Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to
Love love me, love love me, love love

Carolina sits on ninety-five
Give her a dollar and she'll make you smile
Hook her, book her, nook her, walk away!

Girl dresses like a kid for fun
Licks her lips like they're something other
Tries to tell you life has just begun
But you know she's getting something other
Than the love from her mother

Everybody's gonna love today
Love today, love today
Everybody's gonna love today
Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to
Love love me, love love me, love love

Girl in the blue with the big bust on
Big bust on, big bust on
Wait till your mama and your papa's gone
Papa's gone
Mama, mama papa, shock shock me
Shock shock me, shock shock me

Everybody's gonna love today
Gonna love today, gonna love today
Everybody's gonna love today
Gonna love today
Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to
Love love me, love love me, love love

RELAX

 

Took a ride to the end of the line
Where no one ever goes
Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know
But the pain and the longing's the same
When you're dying
Now I'm lost and I'm screaming for help

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you

It's as if I'm scared
It's as if I'm terrified
It's as if I scared
It's as if I'm playing with fire
Scared
It's as if I'm terrified
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?

Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times
It's clear, we don't understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you
I believe that we're in this together
Don't scream, there are so many roads left

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you

It's as if I'm scared
It's as if I'm terrified
It's as if I scared
It's as if I'm playing with fire
Scared
It's as if I'm terrified
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?

Relax
Relax

ANY OTHER WORLD

 

In any other world
You could tell the difference
And let it all unfurl
Into broken remnants

Smile like you mean it
And let yourself let go

'Cause it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely, lonely heart
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in

I tried to live alone
But lonely is so lonely alone
So human as I am
I had to give up my defenses

So I smiled and tried to mean it
To let myself let go

'Cause it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely, lonely heart
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in

'Cause it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely, lonely heart
Say goodbye, to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Say goodbye

In any other world
You could tell the difference

(Spoken)
"I never ever, I forget my story.
My face is not sad, but inside, I am sad."

BILLY BROWN

 

Oh, Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life
Two kids, a dog and then the cautionary wife
While it was all going accordingly to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man

He met his lover almost every single day
Making excuses for his dodgy holiday
Unto religion that he said he newly found
They didn't know that his faith was earthly bound

Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Don't let the stars get you down
Don't let the waves let you drown
Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
Oh, Billy Brown

Oh, Billy Brown needed a place somewhere to go
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
Leaving his lover and his family behind
Oh, Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind
And on his journey and his travels on the way
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind
Oh, Billy Brown you are a victim of the times

Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Don't let the stars get you down
Don't let the waves let you drown
Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
Oh, Billy Brown

Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
Oh, Billy Brown

Oh, Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life
Two kids, a dog and then the cautionary wife
While it was all going accordingly to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man

BIG GIRL

 

Big girl you are beautiful

Walks in to the room
Feels like a big balloon
I said, "Hey girl you are beautiful"
Diet Coke and a pizza please
Diet Coke I'm on my knees
Screaming, "Big girl you are beautiful"

You take your skinny girl
I feel like I'm gonna die
'Cause a real woman
Needs a real man here's why

You take your girl
And multiply her by four
Now a whole lot of woman
Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize
Since I was in my braces
A watering hole
Where the girls are round
And curves in all the right places

Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful

Walks in to the room
Feels like a big balloon

Screaming, "Big girl you are beautiful"

You take your girl
And multiply her by four
Now a whole lot of woman
Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE

 

I sit and think about the day that you're gonna die
Your wrinkled eyes betray the joy with which you smile
Care to see my reason? Care to put your life in mine?

Looking at life from the perspective of a boy
Who's learned to love you but has also learned to grow
Could we make it better, stormy weather
So hard to know

Oh, oh, oh, is there anybody home?
Who will believe me, won't deceive me
Won't try to change me

Ah, ah, ah, is there anybody home?
Who wants to have me, just to love me
Stuck in the middle

I look at you, you look at me, we bite each other
And with your bitter words you kick me in the gutter
But my troops are bigger than yours
You'll never stand my fight

Ours is a family that's based upon tradition
But with my careless words I tread upon your vision
Are five kids better than one, who doesn't lie to be -- come on

Oh, oh, oh, is there anybody home?
Who will believe me, won't deceive me
Won't try to change me?

Ah, ah, ah, is there anybody home?
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is who I am
This ain't a greater plan
To break your heart over me

I know that what I've started
Means that when we have parted
I can live in honesty

Oh, oh, oh, is there anybody home?
Who will believe me, won't deceive me
Won't try to change me?

Ah, ah, ah, is there anybody home
Who wants to have me just to love me?
Stuck in the middle

Stuck in the middle
Stuck in the middle
Stuck in the middle

HAPPY ENDING

 

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory
No Happy Ending

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I have ever told
No hope or love or glory
Happy Ending is gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasting
And I'm wasting every day

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory
No Happy Ending
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever
Then live the rest of our life
But not together

Two o'clock in the morning, something is on my mind
Can't get no rest, keep walking around
If I pretend that nothing ever went wrong
I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I have ever told
No hope or love or glory
Happy Ending is gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasting
And I'm wasting every day
Oh I feel as if I'm wasting
And I'm wasting every day

A little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love, little bit of love, love
I feel as if I'm wasting

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory
No Happy Ending
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever
Then live the rest of our life
But not together

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory
No Happy Ending

OVER MY SHOULDER

 

Over my shoulder, running away
Feels like Im falling, losing my day
Cold and dry
Cold and dry

Fork out my daylight, torture my night
Feels like I’m falling, far out of sight

Cold
Drunk
Tired
Lost

Over my shoulder, running away
Feels like i’m falling, losing my way
Cold, dry
Cold and dry

Fork out my daylight, torture my night
Feels like i’m falling, far out of sight
Cold
Drunk
Cold and drunk

RING RING

 

I was sitting on the fence
And I thought that I would kiss you
I never thought I would've missed you
But you never let me fall
Push my back against the wall
Every time you call
You get so emotional
I'm freakin' out

Ring ring
Is that you on the phone?
You think you're clever
But you're never saying nothing at all

Hey hey
The way you spin me around
You make me dizzy when you play me
Like a kid with a crown

You got a dangerous obsession
Now I'm in need of some protection
That was never my intention

Used to love me
Now you hate me
Say I drove you crazy
Well if I did
You made me
Won't somebody save me
From you now

Ring ring
Is that you on the phone?
You think you're clever
But you're never saying nothing at all

Hey hey
The way you spin me around
You make me dizzy when you play me
Like a kid with a crown

It's what I wanted
Until you lost it
Why won't you leave me alone?
Hang up the phone
Just let me go

Ring ring
Is that you on the phone?
You think you're clever
But you're never saying nothing at all

Hey hey
The way you spin me around
You make me dizzy when you play me
Like a kid with a crown

Ring ring
Is that you on the phone?
You think you're clever
But you're never saying nothing at all

Hey hey
The way you spin me around
You make me dizzy when you play me
Like a kid with a crown

Ring ring
Ring ring

ERASE

 

I shouldn't have called so late last night
All insecure, out of my mind
I shouldn't have left that message on your phone

I shouldn't have said the things I said
Looking for love we left for dead
In a grave without a stone

As soon as you hear my voice
Don't hesitate
Put your finger on the button

Erase my love
I bet you can't erase my touch
You're trying to replace
A feeling without a name
With somebody else's face, in your head

Everything's cool, the rent is paid
The house is clean, your bed is made
But it's a ghost town in your mind

You never had time to go to sleep
We'd wake up tangled in the sheets
On a bed that we called home

When the pain won't go away
You might as well
Put your finger on the trigger

Erase my love
I bet you can't erase my touch
You're trying to replace
A feeling without a name
With somebody else's face, in your head

Erase
Erase my love
I bet you can't erase my touch
'Cause you're trying to replace
A feeling without a name
With somebody else's face, in your head

Erase, Erase
You're trying to replace
A feeling without a name
With somebody else's face, in your head

Erase, oh

YOUR SYMPATHY

 

(this version varies slightly from the studio outtake)

Running out of breath
Chasing down a big parade, uh huh
Raising up my hand
Thought I'd beg the marching band to play for me
All of these illusions
They really mean the world to me, me

Don't make me out to be
This helpless child of misery
Maybe love is what I need
But not your sympathy

In and out of space
I'm always somewhere in between, uh huh
I try to make amends
But instead I make a mess of things for me
I try to paint by numbers
But nothing's black and white for me

Don't make me out to be
This helpless child of misery
Maybe love is what I need
But not your sympathy

Nothing and no one
Can make your lies the truth
And no one can stand inside your shoes but you

Don't make me out to be
This helpless child of misery
Maybe love is what I need
But not your sympathy
But not your sympathy

SATELLITE

 

(originally by Dave Matthews)

Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station

Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm by the way the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite

Satellite headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle?

Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm by the way the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite

Rest high above the clouds no restrictions
Television we bounce round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes

Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station

Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm by the way the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite

Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm by the way the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite
Satellite, Satellite, Satellite, Satellite

HOLY JOHNNY

 

My mate Johnny's a looker
His habit was a one-night stand
He would walk the streets in the usual way
To "O what a pretty man!"
My mate Johnny's a lover
He fell for the girl next door
She said, "Johnny I can't be with you
You're pretty but you're also a bore"

Finding love was not so easy
'Cause people thought that he was too peculiar
So what was left for poor old Johnny?
At least he found out that Jesus loves ya

Holy
Well, he once was a whore
Now he's a priest at 24
'Cause he's holy
And he wanted the most
Now he's left with Holy Ghost
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me

My mate Johnny's a preacher
He's holy as they come
He says follow the Lord and the Lord'll be good
And even started callin' me son

The Lord was good to poor old Johnny
He hid his life behind the walls of religion
But what was left was not so funny
'Cause I lost my friend to his newfound position

Now he's holy
well, he once was a whore
now he's a priest at 24
'Cause he's holy
Well, he wanted the most
Now he's left with holy ghost
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me

WE ARE GOLDEN

 

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
Running from running

Waking up in the midday sun
What’s to live for
You could see what I’ve done
I stay out of motion in the light of day
I was hiding from the things that you’d say

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running

I was a boy at an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Now I’m sitting alone
And I'm looking for help
Left here on my own
I’m gonna hurt myself
Many years have gone by
I’m still wondering why
Had to let the world
Let it bleed me dry

We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

BLAME IT ON THE GIRLS

 

So I was sitting there in the bar and
this guy comes up to me and he says, "My life stinks"
and I saw his gold credit card and
I saw the way he was looking at people across the room
and I looked at his face and you know, he had quite a good-looking face
and I just said, "Dude, your perspective on life sucks".

He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's living at ease

Like lovers on the open shore
What's the matter?
When you're sitting there with so much more
What's the matter?
While you're wondering what the hell to be
Are you wishing you were ugly like me

Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys

Life could be simple but you never fail
To complicate it every single time
You could have children and a wife
A perfect little life
But you blow it on a bottle of wine

Like a baby you're a stubborn child
What's the matter?
Always looking for an axe to grind
What's the matter?
While you're wondering what the hell to do
We were wishing we were lucky like you

Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys

He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's living at ease

Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead

Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys

RAIN

 

Is it really necessary
Every single day
You're making me more ordinary
In every possible way

This ordinary mind is broken
You did it and you don't even know
You're leaving me with words unspoken
You better get back 'cause I'm ready for

More than this, whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap, I can't look back
Baby, I hate days like this

When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains

More than this, baby
I hate days like

Trying to be ordinary
Was it me who was the fool
Thought you found the man you wanted
'til you turned him into something new

Well even if our minds are broken
There's something that I need you to know
It's nothing like the life we wanted
You better move on cause I'm ready for

More than this, whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap, I can't look back
Baby, I hate days like this

When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains

When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains

More than this, baby
I hate days like

I'm not angry
Don't know what to do
After all the years that I spent with you
I can't blame you for the things you say
You were used to hide away

More than this, whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap, I can't look back
Baby, I hate days like this

When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains

When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains

You're leaving me with words unspoken
You better get back, 'cause I'm ready for
More than this, baby
I hate days like

DR. JOHN

 

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of a bar, from afar
I see the look on my mama's face
When her son's in the corner, undone

She says that my life is over
Boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but I ignored her

Oh Dr. John
What am I doing, what am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Dr John

I look for joy in a strange place
In the back of a bar, from afar
I see the look on my daddy's face
When his son's fallen over, undone
Father my life is over
I didn't know what I had, now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder
If I fall asleep will it be over

Oh Dr John
What am I doing, what am I doing wrong
'Cause I Keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John
What am I doing, what am I doing wrong
'Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on

You say I'm a big heartbreaker
But Dr I never hurt ya
Isn't it obvious

Oh Dr John
What am I doing, what am I doing wrong
'Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on

Another day, another break up
We hold on and on
We hold on and on and on
Another day, another wake up
We hold on and on
We hold on and on and on
Another day, another break up
What am I doing, what am I doing wrong
'Cause I

Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Oh Dr John
What am I doing, what am I doing wrong
'Cause I
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Dr John

Dr John

I SEE YOU

 

I'm sitting across from you
I'm dreaming of the things I'd do
I don't speak
You don't know me at all

For fear of what you might do
I say nothing but stare at you
And I'm dreaming
I'm trippin' over you

Truth be told
My problem's old
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
Why go risking the way
That I see you
That I see you
That I see you
That I see you
That I see you
That I see

Conversation's not me at all
I'm hesitating only to fall
And I'm waiting
I'm hating everyone

Could it be, you feel for me?
In any possible similarity
If it's so, how would I know?
You'll never know me at all
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you

I'm standing across from you
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do
I'm standing across from you
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do

Truth be told, my problem's old
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
Why go risking the way
That I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you

I'm standing across from you
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do
I'm standing across from you
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do
I'm standing across from you
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do
I'm standing across from you
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do

But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you

BLUE EYES

 

Your heart is broken
To your surprise
You're sick of crying
For blue eyes
So tired of living
Misunderstood
Think you're a woman
I think you should

Come, sorrow is so peculiar
Comes in a day, then it'll never leave ya
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
Then wonder why sorrow has never left you

I'm talkin' 'bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?

Your heart got broken
On the underground
Go find your spirit
In lost and found
Oh, I've been watching
How you behave
Not much like a lover
More like a slave

Come, sorrow is so peculiar
Comes in a day, then it'll never leave ya
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
Then wonder why sorrow has never left you

I'm talkin' 'bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
so blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with...

Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with you?

GOOD GONE GIRL

 

Could you believe, the same old story
Yeah, it never bores me, though I've heard it all before
Her name was Georgia, and she was gorgeous
When she adored ya the whole room would get to know

Like a movie that is filled with lust
Coming at you with a double D bust
At the bed of a wounded soldier
In a rush cause she's gettin older

Hanging out in the fancy bars
With the boys who can play guitar
Listen up, 'cause I've got to warn ya
She's gonna make it out in California

Hey you what's a good girl like you doing in this crazy world
Where's the good gone girl
Dance, dance to the life you wanted when you were only seventeen
With your good girl dream

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh good gone girl

Could you believe, the same old phonies
Those painted ponies, that you've ridden all before
Her name was April, but she was hateful
Enough to make you want to run right out the door

I can tell you what you want the most
Hanging out for the champagne toast
When the end of the night gets tricky
Don't you know that beggars can't be picky
Looking out for a man who's golden
Doesn't matter if he's old, he's rolling
Coming at you like a desperate hunter
Sugar daddy but he's just a munter

Hey you what's a good girl like you doing in this crazy world
Where's the good gone girl
Dance, dance to the life you wanted when you were only seventeen
With your good girl dream

Hey you what's a good girl like you doing in this crazy world
Where's the good gone girl
Dance, dance to the life you wanted when you were only seventeen
With your good girl dream

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh good gone girl

She's walking around all over the town
Needs somebody to notice, but the goodness gets her down
She's happy to choose somebody to use
Good gone girl she's got nothing left to lose

She's walking around all over the town
Needs somebody to notice, but the goodness gets her down
She's happy to choose somebody to use
Good gone girl she's got nothing left to lose

She's walking around all over the town
Needs somebody to notice, but the goodness gets her down
She's happy to choose somebody to use
Good gone girl she's got nothing left to lose

TOUCHES YOU

 

You think you’re better
You’re better than me
You blow me off as history
To avoid a conversation
you’re ignoring me

When you’ve had enough and you need somebody to know
Well you’re looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now what’s a boy s’posed to do
When I can’t seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother,
wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister,
wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you (x3)

For fear of losing, losing your way
You stop and listen to the things that they say
To avoid confrontation
You walk away

Growing up, found the need to compromise
Well I’ve had enough 20 years and I realized
Come on now, what’s a boy s’posed to do
I can’t seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

I wanna be your brother,
wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister,
wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you (x3)

When you’ve had enough and you need somebody to know
Well you’re looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what’s a boy s’posed to do
When I can’t seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you

This isn’t a perfect love
What am I guilty of
What am I supposed to do
Can’t seem to leave you alone
Touching me Touching you

I wanna be your brother,
wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister,
wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you (x2)
