Lazy Afternoon
04:11
|
|||
Take a walk on Madison
The handbag hounds are out again
I can hear the
"oohs" and "ahhs"
Rising from the sidewalk sale
From the girls in Vogue
and the Hip-hop chil
It's OK to trap and kill
In the name of
fashion...
It's a lazy afternoon
And the papers say the end is
soon
And the kids are deep in a TV haze
And the Middle East is going
crazy
But what can we do ? Lazy afternoon...
Take a walk on
Sunset
It's a party you won't soon forget
I can smell new age
coffee
Rising from the strip mail chain
Cause we need fast food at every
turn
It's OK to slash and burn
In the name of hunger
It's a lazy
afternoon
And the papers say the end is soon
And the corporations
overgraze
So the Little Guy can't get a raise
Hey, but what can we do ?
Lazy afternoon...
It's a big commercial grin
It wears me down till I
have to give in
There's a barcode where my heart should be
Oh, TV, tell
me what I need
I don't care how it get to the store
Just gimme more,
more...
It's a lazy afternoon
And the papers say how to move out to
the moon
Cause the Earth's going down in a toxic haze
And our Money goes
but the Problem stays
Hey, so what can we do ? Lazy afternoon...
Hey, so
what can we do ? What can we do ?
Lazy afternoon...

Everything Feels Wrong
04:01
|
|||
I've been hanging out in the boredom basement
Building up the files on my MP3
Homemade rockets and a load of laundry --
It's been a real party ever since you set me free
They say that I'm cool, they tell me I'm strong
Everyone says it's better now that you're gone
So how come everything feels wrong?
I took all the money that I won at the table
Got another record and a phat tattoo
Everybody says, "Hey whatcha gonna do now?"
I've been killing myself trying to keep my mind off of you
They say that I'm cool, they tell me I'm strong
Everyone says it's better now that you're gone
Well maybe everyone is wrong
Everyday I'm alone and everyday's long
Telling myself it's better since you've been gone
So how come everything feels wrong?
How could you let me go?
After it took so long to find me?
Take back your radio -- all of these stupid songs remind me
That everything's wrong and it's become plain
Even if I am strong, we'll never be the same
Everybody says, "Hey, whatcha gonna do now, babe?"
Well, I've done it all and still I am thinking of you
So don't tell me I'm cool and say that I'm strong
Everyone thinks it's better now that you're gone
Well I think everyone is wrong
Cause everyday I'm alone and everyday's long
Telling myself it's better since you've been gone
So how come everything feels wrong?

Galaxy Song
04:12
|

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
There's a fork in the road, there's a spoon in the sky
There's a plumb at your door, someone's thumbing for a pie
Come and take a ride with me
The moon is high -- so am I
Come on take a ride and see
what lies beyond your kitchen window
We are not alone in the galaxy
All the countries, full of crazies
And they're pulling down the sun,
But my pocket's full of posies everyone, everyone
Come and take a ride with me
and we can have fun-flying-times
Come on take a ride and we
can mingle with these nursery rhymes
We are not alone
we are not alone in the galaxy
I can see that savagery is locked in all this gravity
Why be bound to earthly things
when I can skate on Saturn's rings
Jupiter is waving as I stand top a Venutian dune
And sing a sound to ring around this planetary tune
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
In the dim of my room there's a tiny, little tune
And he's looking at the sky for an answer from the spoon
We are not alone(x3)
We are not alone, not alone
in the galaxy(x2)

The Last of Me
04:04
|
|||
Once there was a time when I could say
I was your friend and you were mine
But all that's history
I'll never know the reason why you thought
That you could hang me out to dry
For everyone to see
Did you think that I'd lay down ?
That I wouldn't sweat it ?
You can forget it
Did you think I'd keep it down ?
You better watch your back
I'm coming after you
So you better face the fact
Cause my mind's a single track
You're gonna get your due
Single in the guarantee :
You ain't see the last of me
Pictures of our tiny hands
Playing castles or some beach's sands
Are lost to crueler games
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bree_sharp/the_last_of_me.html ]
Nicer memories now reside
In twisted metal on the highway side
It's all gone up in flames
That I would just let you win ?
Did you think that I would cry ?
Did you think that I would die ?
I'm just beginning
And you better watch your back
I'm coming after you
So you better face the fact
You're gonna get your due
Cause my mind's in a single track
Single in the guarantie
You ain't see the last of me
I'm not your friend
If you think that I'll be leaving
You better think again
I'll be here till I get even
I won't say where or when
Only that I guarantie
You ain't see the last of me
For every vicious deed you spend
Payback is your dividend
You can bet that you'll see me again...

The Boys of Summer

I've been lost in way-back-when, in clothes I'll never wear again
Pony-tails and paper planes and climbing up the tall trees
Thinking back to hide-and-seek, everyday seemed like a week
Sunday school and cigarettes and kissing at the movies
And it's hard cause I really thought that time was moving slowly
But I found out it was only
Slippin' away
One day I found myself with you, saw all my girlhood dreams come true
Still, there're other dreams and nothing lasts forever
I put braids into my hair, but you don't seem to see them there
And in your mind, I think, you're off to California
And it's hard cause I really thought that I was in your vision
Starry eyes, I see that you've been
Slippin' away
We are water, we are the sand the wind blows on
Before we're here, we are gone
gone, gone
So it turns in simple ways, now the weeks go by like days
Where's that little girl? She's gone and so forgotten
And it's strange cause I truly thought that change was nowhere near me
And all the time I was really
Slippin' away

It's six o'clock, the sun goes down
The hotel shudders with the sound Of Grim and Lily's kiss good-bye
(Oh, baby, not good-bye)
Tired of their life of crime they make a plan for one last time
We'll be on an island, far away, all alone
We'll be on an island, tucked away, my love
We're almost home
A painting of a velvet clown
Hides enough to skip this town
If Grim gets there before his boss
He'll pull the final double-cross
Lily flicks her cigarette
Her face is tight and white and wet,
But Grim's so tired of his gun
Says, "Lil, I wanna see the ocean"
We'll be on an island, far away, all alone
We'll be on an island, tucked away, my love
We're almost home
Time is ticking, pulse is quickening
She's sick about the thickness of this plot
Her fingers knot, the car is hot and it takes all the strength she's got not to fall
apart when she hears the single shot
Lily bends to meet Grim's face. As they hold hands, she whispers...
"We've come so far, we're almost home, we've come so far. Don't
give this up. Don't give this up -- look in my eyes...
And you'll see an island, far away, all alone. We'll be on an island, tucked away, my
love, we're almost home

Dirty Magazine
02:15
|
|||
I left home at the age of thirteen
With a fistful of cash and a dirty magazine
Now, I never cared for the things that I seen
I just want to be in a dirty magazine
Everyone makes sacrifices, everybody's got their vices
Some girls got class and some girls got dreams
Some girls as sweet as a ripe nectarine
Well, I got no big plans and I ain't no beauty queen
I just want to be in a dirty magazine
Can you speak of my disgraces? Look at all the smiling faces
I've been in a gutter, been in a latrine
I've been in the back of a black limosine
I've been just about everywhere in between
And if I had the choice to live dirty or clean
I tell you I'd live in a dirty magazine
Yes, sir, I would live in a dirty magazine
A dirty magazine, a dirty magazine

Morning in a Bar
02:19
|

Morning in a bar
Daylight in an old beer bottle
The sun's the only star
In a sky that went from blue to yellow
And it flashes of the scene I made just the night before
And the ashes of my great undoing lay scattered on the floor
Morning in a bar
Me, the Dawn and the Consequences
I let it go too far
While you were sleeping I was so senseless
That's the way it goes
And now you'll go and run me out of town
Cause everybody knows the Fool I've been
I'll never live this down

Sleep Forever
04:16
|
|||
Half asleep my mind is spinning,
Monsters are all around
And on the ceiling you are lying naked
I am feeling like a shaken doll
Latham sends a letter to his pocket friend,
"I'm feeling very small"
(But I just keep rolling on)
Desperation disappear beneath my cover
Happiness is waiting in a distant slumber
Quieting the monsters with a tiny hand
And tiny circles
Circling the fuzz, but it's not the buzz
I'm after when I come
It's the secret, sleepy sand the angels
Bring my body when I'm done
(But I just keep rolling on)

Desperation disappear beneath my cover
Happiness is waiting like a long-lost-lover
I could sleep forever (4×)
