Everybody
Loves Me But You
Well I wake up every morning and the first
thing that I say is that I hope that I can make it through
another lonely day
I'm afraid I might explode if I keep going on this way
People always notice me wherever I go
They think I'm lucky but they don't really know
Beauty and brains are all that I've got
I've got a cold cold bed and a broken heart, a broken
heart
Everybody loves me, everyone but you
But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do
They search my eyes but I don't know why 'cause all I
ever do is cry
Everybody loves me, but you
Girls wanna be me so they can pick and choose
They figure out of ten men there's no way that they can
lose
Men would walk the plank for me and set themselves on
fire
What do they see in me that isn't sad and tired, tired
I could fill my life with people who wanna be with me
Do like when they say there's other fish in the sea
There's a world out there and a million things to do
But what do I care if it doesn't include you, you
Everybody loves me, everyone but you
But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do
They search my eyes but I don't know why 'cause all they
ever do is cry
Everybody loves me
A cold cold bed and a broken heart
A cold cold bed and a broken heart
An empty house and a broken car
A cold cold bed and a broken heart.
My
Sister
My sister
My sister
My sister
I hate my sister, she’s such a bitch
She acts as if she doesn’t even know that I exist
But I would do anything to let her know I care
But I am only talking to myself ’cause she isn’t
there
My sister
I love my sister, she’s the best
She’s cooler than any other girl that I have ever
met
She had the greatest band, she had the greatest guy
She’s good at everything and doesn’t even
try
She’s got a wall around her nobody can climb
She lets her ladder down for those who really shine
I tried to scale it, but to me she’s blind
So I lit a firecracker, went off in my eye
I miss my sister, why’d she go?
She’s the one who would have taken me to my first
all-ages show
It was the Violent Femmes and the Del Fuegos
Before they had a record out
Before they went gold and started to grow
I miss my sister! I miss my sister! I miss my sister!
I really miss her!
Spin
The Bottle
He's a movie star, only drives rented cars
Met him in a bar, said I know who you are
Took him to my party as the games were starting
Bottle's on the ground
Are you ready now? When it comes to me, I'm gonna be ready
It's my turn in a minute, gonna put my message in it
Five minutes in the closet with you
He's in a bunch of movies, really stupid movies
It's not entirely his fault, he can't control it all
I am not afraid
I can hardly wait
Truth or dare, I don't care
Tell the truth I dare you
When it comes around,
when it comes around,
when it comes around,
when it comes around
Do you feel it too,
what I feel for you?
If it was just us, would you do what I do? Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Everybody's watching
Everybody's looking
She's such a sucker
He don't want to fuck her
He is gonnna kiss me, if he doesn't miss me
I am ready for it now
Already on the ground
Five minutes in the closet with you
Five minutes in the closet with you
Spin it 'round again
Spin it 'round again
Spin it 'round again
Spin it 'round again
Spin it 'round again
Spin it 'round again
Spin it 'round again
Spin it 'round again.
Universal
Heartbeat
Beauty can be sad
You're proof of that
And when the damage is done, you're damaged goods
That's not to say it's not okay-- I wouldn't have it any
other way
A heart that hurts is a heart that works
Sweet, sweet pain comes with the sun
Lie down and soak it up
Burn off layers of insulators
Exposed, nose to the cold
I'm bleeding pretty colors all over myself
A heart that hurts is a heart that works
Black wave comes to take me away
I ride it almost to the grave
Landing on a crowded shore, high-fivin'
What a trip
I'm better for it
I feel a live sensation
A heart that hurts is a heart that works.
Fleur
de Lys
J'ai pris deux jus d'oranges
J'avais soif
Aidez--moi
J'ai besoin d'un homme
Ou habitez--vous? Chez qui? Peut--etre a la fin du siecle,
vous m'aimerez
Je veux jouer, jouer, jouer, jouer, jouer, jouer, jouer,
jouer
J'ai pris trois pain au chocolat
Je n'avais--pas faim
Combien pour votre corps? Allons
Poussez! Poussez! Poussez! Poussez! Poussez! Poussez!
Poussez! Poussez!
Mountains
Of Love
These feelings are mountains I can't cross
or get through
I love you for nothing but what you were
You lift me above me
I'm coming to save you
Oh God I'm forgetting to not remember
And in a dream I can see your face
I gotta leave that dream in it's place in the dark where
you
To carry on from a place where all the dying live in the
past
To carry on from a place where all the dying live in the
past
Great numbers of pictures I'm counting and wishing
Replaying the great scenes in my own movie
These feelings are mountains of ether, of water dissolving
like tear drops after a while
And in a dream you were on a road leading to where I don't
know
But I won't be sad to see you go
To carry on from a place where all the dying live in the
past
To carry on from a place where all the dying live in the
past.
Fade
Away
This is not a monument
This is not a holy writ
Pull my photo from the sun to make way for the coming
one
Aahh
Aahh
I am not an innocent
This is not an accident
In the rosy gloom of youth every moment has it's truth
It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Thank God today is gonna fade away
There is nothing I can say that is not a cliché
Love is not original, is not irreplaceable
You are not the only one carrying a loaded gun
This is not an attitude that looks very good on you
It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Thank God today is gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Thank God today is gonna fade away.
Sellout
I wasn't born into royalty but I can try
to buy in
I live in the land of opportunity and stealing, cheating
and lying and I need you to want me
I lost my attitude
I got a tattoo
I showed some tit and let you pinch my ass
I cut you some slack so why don't you want me? It's not
a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
Should I keep smiling? Or should I start crying? I know
that you love me Œcause you said you did
You said that I was the real thing
Hey, where are you going? I thought that you told me that
if I learned how to play the game then I would win, if
I learned how to say alright to everything
So why don't they want me? It's not a sellout if nobody
buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
Can I redeem myself? Can I get back my name? How can I
show my face in any decent place? I was only trying to
make it and now I cannot fake it anymore
The natives have grown bored
Take me for free- I'm yours
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it.
Live
It Up
The guest of honor cries tears of joy and
pride
But someone's waiting in the wings to steal your fire
and I don't want to ruin the surprise that your house
on the beach will fall into the sea
Live it up because you're going down
This reign can't last
It'll all dry up so fast
The planets are flying past you
You think it's only natural that the world will stop and
wait for you if you fall off
Live it up because you're going down
We fantasize of your demise
We lie in wait
We salivate, visualizing your head on a plate
You're sinking in the mud they put the pedestal on
Hold on to your jewels
You can hawk them later
A variation on a theme: You're not missing anything
Live it up because you're going down.
Sneaking
Around
Baby, you come whisper at my back door
What do I open it for?
I¹m always happy to see your face even though are
a disgrace
I¹m sick of sneaking around
Hide your smile
It¹s broad daylight
And don¹t start thinking about last night
You can¹t say these things out loud but I¹m
not leaving and I¹m not proud
I¹m sick of sneaking around
Do me the honor of holding my hand on the plane
Take me on public transit
Express your feelings on the train
We travel together over time zones and weather, never
really touching the ground
The only evidence I have: dirty pictures in my bag
Am I ever going to see where you live?
Am I ever going to meet your kid?
I'm sick of sneaking around.
Somebody
Is Waiting For Me
You never needed them
You never needed anyone
The life of the party must decline your invitation to
dine
And I’m sorry that I must go so soon
Please forgive me for finding someone real and pure and
true
Somebody is waiting for me
I never needed this
I never needed anyone
I meant every word that I said
It’s true
I wasn’t talking to you
And I’m sorry that I must go so soon
Please forgive me for finding something real and pure
and true
Somebody is waiting for me.
Cry
In The Dark
Do you cry in the dark because it’s
easier to be alone than to talk?
When the words aren’t working and you don’t
know how to explain these thoughts
Every look and every (e)motion has a deeper meaning
Everybody hurts nobody only when they’re dreaming
Do you cry in the dark?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don’t want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone so
you cry in the dark
And the picture of you holding hands by the fire is fading
fast and your heart is closing and you don’t know
how to get off this track
Every day you mime a prayer though your faith is shaken
Your godmother has got nobody because everybody’s
taken
This emotion is an ocean
The waves are getting high
I’ll find an island, call it mine
I’m swimming for my life
Do you cry in the dark?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don’t want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone so
you cry in the dark.
Houseboy
Could you go to the grocery store?
I need pop tarts and orange soda
You can drive the Mercedes if you say pretty please
You can sleep in my bed tonight but you better not have
dirty feet and I don't like talking after I fool around;
I just like to sleep
Will you go to the drug store?
I need Advil and Robitussin and condoms
Take out the trash, give the dog a bath, do the dishes
and fix the leak in the kitchen
Little white boy would you be my slave?
Little white boy, you make a great slave.
My
Protégée
You can touch her if you want
You can rub her if you want
She won't struggle
If you want, she'll act like you turn her on
She knows just what to say
She's my protégée
So much love
There's money everywhere so laugh at their stupid jokes
She can't live on air but no one has to know
And if you binge, you gotta purge
She could rule the world, my protégée
Young hearts understand the future is in my hands
My protégée
I taught her everything
She's gonna rock you.
Every
Breath You Take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I been lost without a
trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I keep crying baby please
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Only
Love Can Break Your Heart
When you were young and on your own, how
did it feel to be alone? I was always thinking of games
that I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break you heart
What if your world should fall apart? I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart? I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
But only love can break your heart
Yes only love can break your heart
Yes only love can break your heart
Yes only love can break your heart
Yes only love can break your heart
Yes only love can break your heart.
Don’t
Walk Away
Live in your dreams
Your shell shocked when your not sleeping
Making out with scars in your eyes in total silence
Nothing to lose won't you turn to me
Aahh, don't walk away
Aahh, don't walk away
Your masterpiece
You saw yesterday on T.V
Can you see me mouthing your name?
Pray for the breakdown when I will know what you really
mean
Aahh, don't walk away
Aahh, don't walk away
It could be true what you do to me, don't leave
Want to start a fire
Can you hear me mouthing your name in total silence
Aching to go, I'm so afraid
Aahh, don't walk away
Aahh, don't walk away
Aahh, don't walk away
Nothing to lose won't you turn to me.
Your
Eyes
I was drinking alone again
You came over my secret friend
Then we talked until morning knocked on the door
Then we walked out into the light
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be ok
Your eyes
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be ok
Like your eyes would never close
Like an angel you saved someone by accepting her as she
was
There were so many things I wanted to say the last time
I looked into them
You know what I feel
You know what I need
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be ok
Your eyes
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be ok
Like your eyes would never close
Can I follow you down? I wanna follow you down to the
ocean floor
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be ok
Your eyes
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be ok
Like your eyes would never close.
We
Will Rise Again
In the twilight yard we made a pact
When they took my things and held you back
Does it get you down that they turned so fast to the West
and got shattered like glass? We'll rise again
We'll rise again
Blinding lights I miss the modern world
All the songs I've sung you've never heard
Your words, my band, we can write the end
We did everything that we wanted
We'll rise again
We'll rise again
Silence will end
Silence will end
Turn the record over and mind the clock
In our own two hands there's a telegram
Busy signals ring and machines say we'll rise again
We'll rise again
We'll rise again
We'll rise again
Silence will end
Silence will end
Silence will end
Silence will end
Silence will end.
Table
For One
Table for one next to the window where
I can see reflections of a table for two
He's breaking the news and I'm watching her come undone
Can you take away the other persons place
I was alway late, I guess they got tired of waiting
Table for one down near the back where I can relax with
a book in my face
I got what I wanted, my freedom
So I raise this glass to myself and celebrate
Two for one is what they're offering
And when you come don't promise me anything
And still I wait
Where is my desert? I think I've been forgotten
A single rose from a fresh boquet
A stomach pain
And when I go it's all I will take away from this God
forsaken place.
