we'll have lots of bail
tons of trail mix
'cause we're setting out to sail
courageously
you and me.
we'll have lots of love
for both of us
and none of the above
the waste activity
you and me.
i'm gonna see you in the morning
i'm gonna see you when you're uptight
i'm gonna see you when you're boring
i'm gonna see you every night.
i'm gonna see you every night.
we'll having wedding dreams
and baby seats
and family gatherings
eternally
you and me.
we'll have visits small
long-distance calls
and meetings in bathroom stalls
and fantasy
you and me.
i'm gonna see you in the morning
i'm gonna see you when you're uptight
i'm gonna see you when you're boring
i'm gonna see you every night
i'm gonna see you every night
i'm gonna see you every night

Never Say Never
03:15

|

i was blind
as a bat
and still knew
where you were at
i was deaf
and dumb
and still knew
that you're the only one.
i could show up
at your door
and still know
what you're looking for.
i could wait
in your line
and if you had no money
i would give you my last dime.
i never
(never, never)
took it out
no, i never
(never, never)
took it out on you
no, i never
(never say never)
take it out on you.
no, i never
(never, never, never)
took it out
(never, never, never)
no, i never
(never, never, never)
take it out on you
never say never
never say never
never say never
never say never

Being With You
03:42
|
|
||
I sit with emptiness waiting for your call
Will you still love me after the fall
An open phone line, but I still hit your walls
And it's just like being with you.
The cold rejection, that we can see the
Our whole reflection, that I can't believe
We'll say it's over, but won't feel relief
It's just like being with you
It's just like being with you.
You know what you
Need to do
And I know what's right for me
And you know what you
Need to do
And I know what's right for me
A happy birthday I will wish you
The swollen memory, so we must choose
A tearful goodbye but we can't lose
It's just like being with you.
It's just like being with you.
You know what you need to do and I know what's right for me

Gagged and Tied
03:10
|
|
||
i'd like to take you home
so that we can be alone we'll go for a walk
then we'll go home not to talk
and i don't care if you don't treat me like a lady
and i don't care just sit there and don't disobey me
mistress never tells a lie
would you love me gagged and tied
it's not your style, i can see you crack a smile
it's okay with me
i just want the company
put on "Venus in Furs" and you can go home afterwards
and i don't care if you don't treat me like a lady
and i don't care just sit there and don't disobey me
don't treat me like a lady

Retreat From The Sun
03:54
|
|
||
and i looked
away from you
and i found
a better way to do it
and i've seen
some younger people happy
as can be
but not as especially happier than me.
happier than me.
you may run
like a bitch in heat
but it's fun
to sometimes try to retreat from the sun
cause it's awful lonely where i'm coming from
where i'm coming from.
retreat from the sun
retreat from the sun
retreat from the sun
retreat from the sun

i was at the jabberjaw
cutest girl i ever saw
she was standing behind me
she was such a dream.
she kept looking right my way
i want to see her every day
randy told me where she lives
in minneapolis
hung around till closing time
i want to make her mine all mine
told my friends i want to leave
but they embarrassed me
i took out my keys for my car
walked down the street--not very far
she came running after me
she saw me at the entry
minneapolis
minneapolis
minneapolis
minneapolis
minneapolis
minneapolis
minneap...
she said, "i heard you ask about me"
and i responded "yes" quietly
she said, "i'm leaving on wednesday
come see me when Low plays"
so i went to see her again
she should be my new best friend
running so romantically
down the street for me.
so she said she'd write or call
'cause i'd be touring in the fall
she said she wanted me to move
but that just won't do
to minneapolis
minneapolis
minneapolis
minneapolis
minneapolis
minneapolis

you look like
an angel
your blue eyes leave
a still impression
my friends miss you coming round
people talking bout it all over town
i never knew you then i know you now
i don't know how
i don't know how
you'd sit on your house, you're writing out your will
he'd be there holding your baby, and i'd be there holding him still
he said "let me take you out so you can have some fun,
but can we take your car cause i don't have one"
this is like
a car crash
it's in my car
and he's driving.
he said "let's go for a ride
i'll take you anywhere you want to go"
i asked if maybe i could drive
he said no
he'd be there holding your baby and i'd be there playing the grooves
he said let me take you out so
but can we take your car cause i don't have one
you can have some fun
but can we take your car cause i don't have one
but can we take your car cause i don't have one
but can we take your car cause i don't have one
i don't know how
i don't know how
i don't know how
i don't know how

Every Time I Try
04:33

What do you want to do (what do you want to do)
What do you want to do (what do you want to do)
Hey I'm talking to you, my friend
What do you want to eat
Where do you want to sleep
Are you talking to me, my friend
I have this problem with you
I want to work it out, but I don't know how to
Every time I try
Every time I try I cry over you
Where are you gonna be
If you stay here with me
Are you walking in your sleep again
I have this problem with you
I want to work it out, but I don't know how to
Every time I try
Every time I try I cry
Cry
Cry
Cry
Cry
I have this problem with you
I want to work it out, but I don't know how to
Every time I try
Every time I try I cry
I cry
Over
I cry
Over you
I want to work it out, but I don't know how to
I want to work it out, but I don't know how to
I want to work it out, but I don't know how to
Every time I try
Every time I try
I want to work it out, but I don't know how to
Every time I try
I want to work it out, but I don't know how to

Long Island

You're pretty dreamy for a boy from
Long Island
You should come to see me on my
Western horizon
Seems as though it's cause we're never meant to meet
But I just look at you and know you're pretty sweet
I want to set a place for you at my table
We can sit for hours watching reruns on cable
Take you driving in my brother's beat old car
Sharing a cigarette and wish upon a star together
So you say you like my shirt
(i like your shirt)
And you say you've got a lot just like them
(I've got a lot just like them)
And I hear you wrote a song about me
By definition, a crush must hurt
And they do
And they do
Just like the one I have on you.

Driving
Looking for your parents house
Striving
To find a piece of you
And I saw a punk rock show
In a car garage
And I saw you.
Trying
To be strong for you and myself
I was dying
To get a piece of this
And I saw a punk rock show
In a car garage
And I saw you as a child
Visiting while
I saw you.
And I saw a punk rock show
In a car garage
And I saw you as a child visiting while
I saw a punk rock show

And I saw you.
A dream come true (I saw)
A dream come true (I saw)
A dream come true (I saw)
A dream come true (and I saw you)
My dream come true.

Did You Ever
03:10

Did you ever
Climb to the top of a tree
And fall down
And carve initials in for me to see
Did you ever
Did you want to
Did you ever
Climb to the top of a tree
And fall down
Carve initials in for me to see
Did you ever
Did you want to
Did you ever
Fall in love with a small girl
While all she wanted was a baby
And maybe both meant it
Did you ever
He said "here's what I'll do
I'll split myself in two
And that way you can be with me
And I can learn to be with you"
Did you ever
Pinch her cheeks and call her plum
She was sweet
And spicy and spoiled really young
Did you ever
Did you want to
He said "here's what I'll do
I'll split myself in two
And that way you can be with me
And I can learn to be with you
I can learn to be with you
I can learn to be with you
I can learn to be with you"
Did you ever? did you want to?

Cowboy Hat
04:04
|
|

i picked a cookie from the wrong batch
i found an egg unable to hatch
i started a fire but i could not find a match
cause you wore a cowboy hat
in the middle of the highway
a cowboy hat
fingers flying everywhere
a cowboy hat
and your middle finger pointed at me
i saw a goldfish swimming downstream
i picked an orange from the wrong tree
you're the most valuable player, but i've chosen the wrong team
cause you wore a cowboy hat
in the middle of the highway
a cowboy hat
fingers flying everywhere
a cowboy hat
and your middle finger pointed at me
cause you wore a cowboy hat
in the middle of the highway
a cowboy hat
fingers flying everywhere
a cowboy hat
and your middle fingers pointed at me
a cowboy hat
lying in the desert
a cowboy hat
soaking in the gutter
a cowboy hat
and your middle fingers pointed at me

Until The Day I Die
04:15
|
|
||
it's been goodnight
it's been goodbye
it's been so long that
i might cry
one drunken kiss
a drunken lie
hung over mornings
and a sobering cry
i've never given back to you
all the pain you've put me through
and i've never given back to you
a rainy day and a beautiful night
a hung jury and a bed uptight
i've been alone through the nights
i'll be alone until the day i die
cause i've never given back to you
all the shit you've put me through
and i've never given back to you
all the love in the world
to give to a little girl
no matter how hard i've tried
this will be until the day i die.
i've never given never give to you
and i've never given never give to you
you
you
you
you
you
it's been goodnight
it's been goodbye
it's been so long that i might cry

Fuck You
03:04
|
|
||
This is a message to the man
It seems you're begging me to hate you
We sell ourselves across the land
but I'm afraid the rest is up to you
Are you stupid enough?
Are you selfish enough?
And you dare to say you love me.
If you just go away I could remember you
I'd love to remember loving you
So fuck you
fuck you
Is our love going out of style?
or am I just supposed to live with the abuse?
You spend my money with a smile
and every time you come around you know it hurts me you fuck
Are you stupid enough?
Are you selfish enough?
And you dare to say you love me.
If you just go away I could remember you
I'd love to remember loving you
You said that you'd make my dreams come true
So fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
