Fate is Dead
04:31
|
|||
I'm thinking too much
I'm feeling too deep
I'm looking too far
I've gotta start over
So I clear my head
Try to start from the top
Rain falls down on me
Now I see
(chorus)
Tripping through
Slipping by
Looking around
Wondering why
Fate is dead...
Always fight myself
Never stop to think
Start to feel
In front of me
Just open my eyes
I'm trusting in you
Show me the roads
And where to go
Take this with you
That it's all nothing
Drink from the fountain
Spilling from heaven

Subway Panic
02:54
|
|||
Here we go again
I knew it
Subway car again
Get through it
Why do I shake
Stop me and I'll break
Why do I shake
Hold still
Slow down
Don't be loud
Get off how
Breathe now
Slow down
Don't you panic
Tunnel underground
I'm blinded
White knuckles
Sparks aground
Can't find it

Juliet
03:31
|
|||
I take a look around
All I see
Voice after voice is screaming at me
I throw back reverse
I run and hide
Pockets turned inside and out of time
And Juliet
I can’t forget
Juliet
Another look around
All I see
Voice after voice is screaming for me
Day out day in
Hypnotized
I’ve lost control I’m paralyzed
And Juliet
I can’t forget
Juliet
And Juliet
Don’t leave yet
Juliet
(bridge solo)
And Juliet
I can’t forget
Juliet (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And Juliet
Don’t leave yet
Juliet

Ouch
03:45
|
|||
It was a single bullet theory that I never knew
And I remember it clearly when I think of you
And the lump in my throat
Makes it hurt when I swallow
And I remember last November
Ouch
Well I think that by now I should have had a solution
To this Goddamn equation built from your pollution
And it's hard to forget
When my sheets smell like her
And I remember
I still remember
Ouch

San Francisco [Blues]
03:42
|
|||
I hit the ground in San Francisco
been up in the air for days
and I wish I could have brought you with me
but I’m n the run
and I left it all behind
So I guess I'll have to settle with your ghost
well I won’t make you cry
I won’t make you cry
you can trust me when I say
well I won’t make you cry
I won’t make you cry
and you don’t have to go no more
I been sitting on the hill
staring up at the clouds
thinking bout the way that we talked
a couple a days ago
over a beer about a book
now that I'm here I'm wishing I was there
well I won’t make you cry
I won’t make you cry
you can trust me when I say
well I won’t make you cry
I won’t make you cry
and you don’t have to go no more
(guitar solo)
I came here to get away
from the life I lived before
the west coast stars were calling from the sky
and now I'm missing you so much
that I can’t stand it here no more
and tomorrow morning I’ll be coming home
(a capella)
well I won’t make you cry
I won’t make you cry
you can trust me when I say
well I won’t make you cry
I won’t make you cry
and you don’t have to go no more

Quiet and lonesome
On a Saturday night
Arms around each other's waists
Nobody out
On the streets tonight
Just a bunch of hoodlum guys and their dates
There's puddles in the road
With gasoline rainbows
And someone laughs from far away
She's not listening
In the soft, cold streetlight glow
He's half in love and she won't say
She's on the brain again
He's got her on
Can't get her off
He knows her like a book
But he's got no time
He cant get her off
Took a trip to NY
Just to get the hell out
Away from school and phony friends
Walked from the station
And called up the girl
They met on the stairs to see a show
They had a good time
And she looked real pretty
She just about knocked him out
She leaves him in the road
Cold and all wet
Cause she just can't tell him yet
He turns on the light
And starts to pack
His nerves were shot his eyes were sore
Counts his money
Throws his bags on his back
Can't hang around here anymore
The girl is gone
And it's almost dark
He stood there and took one last look
Don't wanna go home
But now he's all alone
He's says I think next time I'll read a book

Goodbye, Blue Monday
04:16
|
|||
There’s no one around
This place is a ghost town
Gotta stop looking down
But there’s no one around
Today there’s nothing here for me
But tomorrow I’ll see how different it will be
And I’ll say
Goodbye, Blue Monday
Goodbye, Blue Monday
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Been driving for miles
Haven’t slept in a while
Step up single file
Haven’t slept in a while

James' Work Song
03:01
|
|||
So I’m not good enough for you
It’s the best that I can do
See I’ve tried to do my share
But it’s unfair so I don’t care
I leave today, James
I’m not looking up at you
So don’t look down upon me too
I’m no wind-up toy you see
So do not try to turn my key
I leave today
I leave today, James
So I’m not good enough for you
It’s the best that I can do
See I’ve tried to do my share
But it’s unfair so I don’t care
I leave today
I leave today
I leave today, James
I’m not looking up at you
So don’t look down upon me too
I’m no wind-up toy you see
So do not try to turn my key
I leave today
I leave today
I quit today
I quit today, James

I'll Break Your Heart
04:05
|
|||
I’m a little scared and unprepared to meet you
I’ve paid the fare and I don’t care to greet you
Don’t hold my hand please
I’ll break your heart
So nervous I can’t take it
I’ll fall apart
In the city now, I’m tongue tied and cross-eyed
I’ve been hiding out trying to get back to my life
Don’t hold my hand please
I’ll break your heart
So nervous I can’t take it
I’ll fall apart
I got a reservation here
I’ll make you cry on command my dear
Honey baby my sore eyes
Just won’t see through all the lies
Don’t hold my hand please
I’ll break your heart
So nervous I can’t take it
I’ll fall apart

I'm Sorry, Amy
04:19
|

I'm sorry, Amy
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know I'd meet a girl who'd change my point of view
And I tried, I tried, oh
I'm sorry, Amy
But you're not right for me
I'm sorry, Amy
I saw your ghost the other day
You only wanted anyone who'd come out and play
And you cried, you cried, oh
I'm sorry, Amy
She's everything I want for me
Amy, with the absinthe eyes
Amy, now she cries
Amy, with the bitter sighs
Amy, now she lies
I'm sorry, Amy
You took me for a ride
Roller-coaster upside-down and merry-go-round and round
You were young, so young, oh
I'm sorry, Amy
I had to let you go
Amy, with the absinthe eyes
Amy, now she cries
Amy, with the bitter sighs
Amy, now she lies

Am I gonna be bouncing off the walls?
Am I gonna feel better cause I’m tired and I may fall?
And you feel better in my sweater
Don’t hide in bed no more
Tomorrow morning wake up brighter
I never think anyone’s gonna like anything
I should have stayed with washing cars cause I can’t sing
And you feel better in my sweater
Don’t hide in bed no more
Tomorrow morning wake up brighter
It took a long time to like being in my skin
Still sometimes I’m only feeling halfway in
And you feel better in my sweater
Don’t hide in bed no more
Tomorrow morning wake to brighter days

A UFO on the hill
Spacecraft in the road
I never want to be this wired
Or do what I was told
Was told
I’m not sleeping where I’m from
But I’m not sleeping and I am done
Angels make the streetlights glow
Dimly trailing blur
The night the sandman didn’t come
When I first kissed her
Kissed her
I’m not sleeping where I’m from
But I’m not sleeping and I am done
A UFO on the hill
Spacecraft in the road
I never want to be this wired
Or do what I was told
Was told
I’m not sleeping where I’m from
But I’m not sleeping and I am done
I’m not sleeping where I’m from
But I’m not sleeping and I am done

Nothing Girl
03:22
|

See that girl
See that girl
In her book
In her world
Wildflowered
Wallflower
Hasn’t smiled
Hasn’t showered
The village streets
The city sleeps
I’m awake with nothing
My nothing girl
See those glasses
Hiding her eyes
Sweet suspicion
Sweet surprise
Heart broken
South of Houston
Cinderella
Get yourself some new shoes
The village streets
The city sleeps
I’m awake with nothing
My nothing girl

I went off the road
I fell asleep at the wheel
Woke up in a ditch
What can I say
Is there something wrong with me
I’m never what you want me to be
Let me make mistakes
That’s all I need
And if I’m singing out of tune
Don’t worry let me play
I got my guitar and I’m OK
I will never be
What you expected of me
I can only be
The me that I see
Thanks for signing my cast
I’m feeling fine
Never give it up
You are my life
And if I’m singing out of tune
Don’t worry let me play
I got my guitar and I’m OK
Turn down the radio talk show
It’s hurting my head
Get me back inside
Closed up instead
When I wake tomorrow
I won’t waste no more time
Be at the front of the line
Don’t fall behind
And if I’m singing out of tune
Don’t worry let me play
I got my guitar and I’m OK

True (Love)
03:02
|

How do you do
I had no clue
Out of the blue
I fell for you straight through
How do you do
I’m stuck to you
Caught in your glue
Looks like the both of us were due
I promise you
I will be true
I promise you
That I will be true
How do you do
We’re two by two
I thought you knew
But I let you make the first move
So I took my cue
Then I withdrew
What could I do
But tell the truth
