Stole All Your Wear

I don't believe there is one thing
That you can't cope with if you're something
I don't believe there is one thing
You cannot fix with a close pin

I don't believe there is one thing
That will keep the press out of anything
I don't believe there is one thing
Muhammed Ali had a problem with

But baby you don't care
You stole you wear, don't cash me in

Plane Food Sucks

Plane food sucks, I’m eating trail mix
Back to see my folk, been split 6 years
Raisins are all gone now the trail mix sucks
At 35 thousand feet there’s nothing good to eat

Since the day we talked been planning out my stay
Maybe she’ll be alright it could go either way
I remember the time she flipped, you can see the mark on the wall
Caught it in the corner of my eye goddamn that was a close call

She’s impossible she’s inconsistent she’s incoherent most of the time
I think she’s cruel but I still owe her for all the years so I’ll be kind
at least this time……one more time……..the last time…….I’m sure

Got my fix, mom’s a freakin trip
Telling me who to see, back to her same old tricks
Now I remember why – why I headed so far away
It’s tough when the ones that give you love are the reasons you don’t wanna stay

Ship Wrecked

There’s a hole in seam. Breaking parts ‘swhat I mean
And he thinks he can fix all the years in between
He was stuck in the rough between the hurt and the love
He was torn from his home in the three river scene

There were four years there, there were 12 years here
Then they took the plane there but bought a summerr house here
At first they rented a place then bought a house on the hill
Then one of their kids, he took off for Squirrel Hill

Mr. Mister can’t you see she’s feeling lonely when you’re away all the time
When you’re working overtime are you as lonely as she is all the time

So it took off from there. It got much worse than was fair
They probably should have just stopped before it got out of hand
They would call him at school pretend that life was so smooth
But at the time how could he have known he had moved

When the ship wrecked and the home wrecked then the kids wept oh it shouldn’t have been
When the ship wrecked and the home wrecked then the kids wept oh it shouldn’t have been

You say I do but you don’t. Is that a way to go on?
It’s just a way to get rid of the things that you want

Bovine Intervention

Deposed and dethroned I think I lost my touch can it be I pushed too much
He is just a kid. What can they see in him while I’m still here

Perched on top a sill I’m thinking to myself I’m scratching and I’m, oh I’m
I’m hoping that the day will last and those of you who think I’m past my prime
Will come around in time

It wasn’t very long before the one in the front got up
He was wearing the latest stuff. I can tell you I remember when

When they say hey you look so good. Well that’s a line I can spot
'Cause I been at the top
The younger crowd is making noise. Famous Amy has another word. I wish I could.

Perched on top a sill I’m thinking to myself I’m scratching and I’m, oh I’m
I’m hoping that the day will last and those of you who think I’m past my prime
Will come around in time

Fair E

You’re the only thing I’ve been thinking of
A classic on the radio
Turn it on and listen to The Shadow

Fair Elise, that’s enough
I’m up to here with the fear of your love
Cleaning up decay and rust
You never had it good you never had the fear of loss

Comatose or blowin smoke or making moves and playing host
Faking it you heretic why can’t you trust us all with it

Fair Elise who’s your love
Is it me or someone that I’m thinking of
We had a doubt we had it out
Why can’t we just compare our notes—watch the sun rise

I’m in it I’ll sell myself to you
So change that, play a new tune
I’m in it I’ll sell myself to you
So change that, play a new tune

Fair Elise you’re in luck
I haven’t gone and I’m sticking round to see it thru
Are you done having fun?
The time is now to take control of the two of us

Junkie Disco

Turn it off you little junkie disco girl, go dance your way into someone else’s life
I’ve just had enough my dear, I’m up to here, my nerves are shot but you’re still standing there

You change your mind as if it’s out of style but with the clothes you wear I suppose you just don’t care
I was hanging by the line waiting for your call but after all you’re a junkie disco girl

Rock Garden

But now it’s over, now it’s over, now it’s over, now it’s over
I’m not gonna be a rock star

All our friends used to come see us play in the bars
All our friends used to say “hey you guys are gonna go far”
But now it’s over, now it’s over, now it’s over, now it’s over
I’m not gonna be a rock star

I can’t believe we’re not gonna play for teenage mobs
I can’t believe we won’t be able to quit our day jobs
I can’t believe we’re not gonna play live at Buddakahn
I can’t believe we can all just turn it off – turn it off

E verdade que a banda acaba, mas isto nao quer dizer que a musica acaba. Quero apenas dizer: a musica nao para as pessoas tocando-a e nos, claro, continuaremos a tocar. Na verdade quem e ele para dizer que agora nos estamos a tocar pior do que antes? Houve esta cancao -definitivamente e o ritmo, nao achas? Heck, pode ser que nos tornaremos, depois de tudo, em estrelas do rock .

Johnny johnny wants to play in a rock ‘n roll band
Johnny johnny wants to sing all the words in his head
So is it it over, is it over, is it over, is it over
Are we gonna be rock stars

De La Daises

Peeling out on the same day we had it all in common at the start
We looked at things in the same way, but I look back now and that’s not so hard

Closet lover of Jeopardy you get excited stand up yelling
“Keep it down” – it’s in harmony. You need to wonder do they know what they’re doing

So we shake and we make all the plans that we break
‘Cause there’s only one thing to which I can relate
I’ve got it now and it’s killing us how
But I would not change this --- for any other way, hey hey hey

Stealing daisies on Tuesday. Stealing daises on Wednesday
Stealing daisies is not my way I’d rather grow ‘em and show ‘em and give ‘em away

Listens

Waiting and watching as I pull up in my dart
To see me from the outside is a wee bit bizarre
I spent an hour and a half at my place at the bar
Going over in my head, even moreso in the car

She’s been carrying me for six months now it’s been
I’ve come to a decision I just hope she’ll listen
I just hope she’ll listen, I just hope she’ll listen

She’s caring, and I care what she thinks about me
Can’t disguise my surprise when she says she loves me
Two cats and two cars and our lives used to be so hard
Staying over and over and over and over and over and over

The pieces are falling
A change for always
