If you have them or know where to find them, please e-mail me at VNichelleM@hotmail.com As We Speak It's nice to meet someone with a future as f***ed up as mine. So, I'm unpredictable, Is this some f***ing sign of the times? I take pride in what I do, and I do it well. Call me easy-going but at least I have a fininshed story to tell. Cause' tomorrow I just might be another face on T.V. being arrested for telephone fraud or beating someone to death with my guitar! But I know I will go far, I know I will go... far enough to tell you that I love you But I know I'm stupid just because I run right back to you I got your letters yesterday but I do have a thing to say, so I'll nail em' to my wall and just pretend they'll go away! I don't wanna love you, but it's something that I love to do. So I'll say this one last thing and then I'm... gone away for good... Was I misunderstood? I guess that it's too late to save you now! Bite My Tongue What can I say? I'll bite my tongue again today. What can I do when I feel so stupid over you? I wish they'd go ahead and cut it off. And I don't wanna work anymore cause' sometimes I just can't ignore the way I feel when I see you smile. And someday I'll just shut my eyes and maybe then you'll realize... I'm just a f***ing geek in love with you. When the time's right to use a stupid pick up line? "So how's the weather??? Do you wanna spend the night together?" I know that you are just a girl but in my eyes you rule the world, I just thought I'd let you know. You're my best friend and thats o.k. but I wanna see you night and day, and wake up holding you right by my side! I've said my piece so now I'll run and hide. I'll bring you candy and flowers, sit by the phone for hours... Sing a song outside your window just if you would let me know. No more waking up lonely. Will you be my one and only. Please let me know right now. Cause I'm not gonna live forever. Hey Kid! I wait for the day to come when I'll wake up and be a star. I dream of a different world... somewhere where we will go far. I b**** about my life. I b**** about the scene. I hate this f***ing town wish that it was all a dream. (Chorus) B****, b****, b****! That's all you ever do. B****, b****, b****! Your ego will destroy you. B****, b****, b****! That's all I have to say. B****, b****, b****! Now I'll just fade away. (Insert lame guitar solo here.) Just as long as I act cool then people will suck up to me. They won't realize that I'm a fake and that's what I'm going to be. A dream and a kid who changes every day. Someone that has to talk when he's got nothing to say Hey kid, it's a great big world out there that you think you need to see. Hey kid, go on and live that life... But live it without me! (Chorus #2) B****, b****, b****! That's all you ever do. B****, b****, b****! No one's more punk than you. B****, b****, b****! Your life is just a trend. B****, b****, b****! We'll see who's happy in the end. Take Me Back I am blue, the sky is grey, I guess it's better off that way. There's really not much left to say. I called you on the phone, another guy said that you weren't at home, but, I don't care I'll call you again anyway. Baby I'd give you the world... please forget about those fifteen other girls. I don't care what they say... I didn't mean to stand you up on our wedding day. I'm sorry that I gave you that infection, and said we had sex on the Love Connection. Can I ever make it up to you? I'm sorry that I made you mad, the things I did just didn't seem that bad... Except for maybe when I blew up your car. Oh baby what can I do??? Every girl I'm with makes me think of you. I call your name in my sleep. Too bad you think that I'm a creep. Please take me back... (x5) Are We There Yet? I think that we're lost again and this looks like the s***ty side of town. We're running out of gas and the sun is going... down... down... down. Time to turn around and start heading back in the right direction now, but my map is upside down I just wanna make the show, but I don't think that we're gonna go. I can see the headline now... "Four punks found dead again. We know you don't care... but film at ten. And, now on to sports." Things are looking bleak, everyone thinks that I'm a geek. We're hiding all our cash, my fingernails are digging in the dash. "Why didn't you ask for directions? What Cracker Jack box did you find your license in?" You stupid piece of s***... I'll never ride with you again!" I just wanna make it to the show, but I don't think that we're gonna go. "Just pull over let me drive!" Everybody wants me dead. I think the club is up ahead. It feels good to be alive! Angry Nerd Rock Time to burn it all away, time to think of what to say Time to go right back to yesterday. Time for movements in the past, time for something that won't last. Not just fire quick and die off fast. Things are never what they seem, I'm stuck inside of someone else's dream. Problems never go away... I'm sick of being caught in yesterday. Every day it's still the same, different faces, different names, But still stuck here playing these stupid games. Maybe soon I'll figure out what giving up is all about. My heart is filled so full of doubt. Don't turn around, don't look ahead I won't listen to all the lies I'm fed. Don't have to listen to you So don't you f***ing tell me what to do. Let It Go Forgot about the girl I didn't kiss... about the one show that I missed... I sorta figured out that things will turn out alright. There's no use holding on to the past, Live it up man, have a blast! Stop your whining pal and go and have some fun tonight! (Chorus) You gotta let it go... (x3) and things will turn out alright. You gotta let it go... (x3) and have some fun tonight! My life is changing so rapidly I'm not sure what I wanna be... But, I understand I've still got a lot to learn I'm pretty happy with my life. And, I'm really glad you said you'd be my wife even though we know that forever has an end. I'm gonna tell the world about my baby girl. Starla is her name, oh yes indeed! Lately Lately I've been feeling a little bit neglected. When it comes to your ex-boyfriends, well, I guess I'm overprotective. But it's nothing personal I just wanted you to tell me that you care. Lately I've been thinking bout' stickin' my head in a toaster. I never asked to take a ride on this emotional roller-coaster It's you that I want, and lately it feels like you're not there. Lately I've been contemplating jumping in the ocean. Sometimes even Spock would show a little more emotion! Do you still love me now as much as you loved me yesterday? (Chorus) I try to let it out... I bitch, I cry, moan, whine, scream and shout today, but the wall wouldn't listen to me! Why wouldn't it listen to me? I'm sick of always cryin' I don't wanna be sick of trying, but you've gotta want me too. Lately I've been hoping for a little bit of affection. Sometimes I wish that you had came with your own set of directions. I guess it's not that easy, but I hope that you still love me anyway Lately I've been thinkin' bout' takin' a vow of silence. I've never seen a monk result in any acts of violence. Or, maybe I'll just cry and hope you come around again today. (Repeat chorus) Alone In Santa Cruz Did I ever tell you that I really love you... and I think about you all day? I really miss you and wish I could kiss you but why are you so far away? (Chorus) Since you've been gone I've thought over and over about you inside my head and where I went wrong, where I went wrong Everyday... I've been thinkin' alot about all of the things you'd say Since I went away... Since I went away... I guess I could call you and ask you "How are you" But I really don't have much to say I sit all alone and I stare at the phone and I hope that you're doing o.k. (REPEAT CHORUS) Make it Last There's a lot on my mind so I guess that I'll take it one thing at a time, still sometimes I can't help but wonder why... I sit around all day and I waste my whole d*** life away, still thinkin' bout' just what there is to say. (Chorus #1) Should I say goodnight??? ...got to bed, turn out the f***ing light and leave you shining in the past. Should I try and forget??? ...even though next week it's something I'll regret. Or, should I try and make it last? I think about the day when I felt you'd throw it all away to try to make me feel like I'm the one. You were my best friend, and I never ever thought those days would end but now it seems like they are gone (Chorus #2) What more can I say??? ...I never wanted it to be this way, And where the h*** is yesterday??? ...We sure had a blast! I'm sorry that we're living in the past, should we try and make it last? (Repeat chorus #1) Sleepy It's frivolous, it's pointless, I'm waiting here in line. I'd buy a cup of coffee but I just wanna kill some time. I'm watching you, now, I'm staring at you. I figure that you notice, but you don't really have a clue. (a clue) Time sure does fly when your just a lonely boy Waiting for someone to come along and ruin your fun Sitting all alone with that quiet smile on your face I pretend I'm not interested by staring off in to space. Why did I act like I didn't even care? Now I wish that you could only be there. A game of cat and mouse that curiousity has killed, just call it pointless... call it what you will. Four Chord Wonder How many bands have wrote this song before? I can name at least fifty... I bet you could name a hundred more. There's over a couple thousand chord progressions around. Whill someone tell me who decided they'd run this one into the ground?! (Chorus) I'm putting a stop to it once and for all! I'm putting my fist right though the wall! I'm telling you once and for all... You better not write this stupid song again! "I've got a little plan, so listen up. We could write a four chord wonder, and make a million bucks!" No need to mention names cause' you know who you are. Take word of my advice or I'll break your guitar! I think it's time to set things straight... I just wrote the song I hate. And, I'll write it again and again and again. Blind and Unkind You inhale the toxic fumes, I look away, and then resume to... do all the things that I told myself I wouldn't ever do. Why do I always believe, that I'm in love with everyone I see? And, why did the next one have to be you? Why do you believe that everything I say is true? (Chorus) Why must I always do this? Why do I put myself through this? Love is blind and so unkind... I never can make up my mind! I undo the thought from my head, forgetting all you ever said. Today it's you, tomorrow someone else, maybe I'm just better off by myself! I forget that it's just you... and not some person that I've always knew! (Repeat chorus) Love is blind... love is a lie! Clara I saw you cryin' as I turned away Did I see your face, like it wasn't there And I know I was wrong... yeah, I knew it all along But I didn't care about you Clara, where are you today? And did you make the same mistakes... that I made, a million times before I met you Did you go, did you run, did you think of your son? Did you know you're not the only one... that tried to make a piece of coal into a diamond yeah! So everything's fine now, at least you say Maybe that's o.k. - But you know it's wrong Was I right, did it last? Were you dwelling on the past??? Or hanging on to a memory so you say your time will never come Maybe you should go ahead and jump... Then you'll become exactly what you are hanging onto Standing there on the bridge with your feet on the ledge maybe I might push you over the edge... and send you falling straight to the ground Myself Unable to find the lyrics for this song. If you have them or know where to find them, please e-mail me at VNichelleM@hotmail.com Nielhouse It all started one day when I had nothing more to say to you so I ran over the other way. Love is for morons. But, who's this f***ing idiot that I see staring right back at me??? Will someone tell me what's right or wrong anymore? Cause' everywhere I go I wonder what I'm searching for. I think of all the times I've thought of you and masturbated. All this pre-teen s*** has got me so frustrated! Don't turn around cause' there's nothing more for you back there. I'd send a postcard, but it'd say how much that I don't care. I'm goin' east to say the least to see The Queers, how true. I'll be at the Neilhouse but I'll be without you! Don't try to tell me you can't have any fun. You played me for a f***ing fool but now you get to be one... don't go. Perfectly Happy Won't be another statistic... Won't be a minority... I'll achieve every goal I have... there's not a thing I can't be! Just as long as I am happy, that's all that matters to me. I'll walk away from this place on that unhappy day that I have to follow rules, this so-called book you go by was written for a fool! Maybe now you understand life from my point of view, I've got my head on straight and have no urge to be like you! Oh sure I strive for a better life. But, is that so f***ing wrong??? Change in my pocket... girl by my side... perfectly happy. Boxcar Unable to find the lyrics for this song. If you have them or know where to find them, please e-mail me at VNichelleM@hotmail.com Ray Sometimes I sit and think about yesterday... of all those simple words that I didn't even say. I just sit back and wonder why... (wonder why...) ...everything is just bought and sold, and why everyone listens to what they're told. No matter what you do you'll never get ahead and to everyone else you're just better off dead! Sometimes I sit and watch you on T.V. and I just think about how cruel it would be... to call your family at a quarter 'til four. "Ray doesn't live here anymore..." (anymore...)
