- 80 Windows
Clusters of people talking secretly to each other
In a bar you cannot talk openly
to anyone you don't already know
4 year olds, they have got the right idea
they jump the line and hit it on the nose
when we sit and we get quiet
then we look and see who's home across the way
there are 80 windows we can see,
- Always Love
To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love Hate will get you every time
Always love Don't wait til the finish line
Slow demands come 'round
- Amateur
You made me feel like i'm ok, i could be happy
Now i can sit, not run away stupidly laughing
Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down
Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down.
I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
I've got all that i need to save my day, so why'm i running?
You said i should get professional help, it always makes me cry.
I know i'm just an amateur, but i've gotta try.
- Bacardi
When you walk home from the party
Drunk on bacardi and listening
To the voices that lie to you nightly,
Make you frightened of everyone.
When you walk home from the party
Drunk on bacardi and listening
To the voices that lie to you nightly,
- Beautiful Beat
Leave me alone, and there'll be
No one to get hurt
Nobody move and there'll be
Nothin' to disturb
The sum of it all is that you
Don't know where to turn
Despite all your promises you
Don't keep what you learn
- Blankest Year
Ah, fuck it...
I'm gonna have a party [x2]
I had the blankest year
I saw life turn into a T.V. show
It was totally weird
The person I knew I didn't really know
- Blizzard Of '77
In blizzard of '77
The cars were just lumps on the snow
And then later
Tripping in 7-11
The shelves were stretching out of control
On a plane ride
The more it shakes
The more i have to let go
- Blonde On Blonde
Cats and dogs are coming down
14th street is gonna drown
Everyone else rushing round
I've got blonde on blonde
On my portable stereo
It's a lullaby
From a giant golden radio
I've got no time i wanna lose
- Clear Eye Clouded Mind
You’re going to miss the word
Everyone left the world
Take what you can carry
Find a road and follow
Of course I’m supposed to work, I
Come from the hills, I
Find and eat food, I
Try to protect, I
- Comes a Time
Comes a time when
You can't judge no more
Go out shopping
Can't see the store
I can't believe that we're really all good
One of us has gone
Where they never should
- Concrete Bed
TThe world's locked up in your head
You've been pouring in a concrete bed
Your habits ossified
You don't realize you're fried, so fried
To find someone you love
You gotta be someone you love
- Do It Again
Well I'd snap to attention if I thought that you knew the way
I’d open my mouth and find something smart to say
I bought a stack of books out and didn’t read a thing
It’s like I’m sitting here, waiting for birds to sing
Lets do it again
Come on,
come on, lets do it again,
- Firecracker
This time, the win is mine.
My perfect life.
Room spin, don't know how to stop, don't know how to start.
Firecracker, the one you keep inside.
Firecracker, you don't know how to light.
So sink in the tailspin of plans and sleep,
Or come and crush me tight,
My favorite high.
- Fools
Fools never learn
You play with fire
You're gonna get burned
You and I are fools
We play with love
We're gonna get burned
- From Now On
Here comes the hot feeling again
When I hear his name
I clearly have no control
Can't help wondering
If herein gone like a wave
I forget but then, start rememberin'
The devil in my mind, why can't he go home
- Fruit Fly
left some food wrapped up
in a plastic bag
on the kitchen table
way too long
i sat down to eat
next to the bag
i was too tired
to throw it out
- Happy Kid
I'm just a happy kid
Stuck with the heart of a sad punk
Drowning in my id
Always searching like it's on junk
No matter who i hang out with
I can hear the clack clunk
Of the chains that pull the cars up
The roller coaster mountain top so high
- Here Goes Something
Look around, what a mess
Anybody's guess
Here goes something
Yeah here goes something
Now change programs
Here goes something
Gravity's, big success
- Hollywood
Been trying to be cool ever since high school
Cool like the stars and sexy people in bars
The stars will fall they'll line up in the hall
May sound nice, but it's ugly inside
I lost all my pride
Taken apart
One more false start
How do you think we're gonna do this time around
- I Like What You Say
Emergency above
Put on your hard hats and invisible gloves
What's going on
I was on the wagon, I thought I was done
You have to watch out
When one falls in, another came out
You say, I like what you say
- I'm a Bad Best Friend
I only wanna say things that are pure: now i won't be talking anymore.
I only wanna do things that are true. every time i move i'm hurting you.
I wanna know what is it that you do
To keep from hurting anyone but you?
Cause i still say your name when i don't feel right, just like i used to
And if most people fade to gray and black, you'll fade to light blue.
I think too much and then start talking mean.
Where did i get all these selfish genes?
- If You Leave
If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We always had time on our sides
Now it's fading fast
Every second every moment
We've gotta make it last
- Imaginary Friends
Hey, calling all imaginary friends!
Today, don't want no one to tell me how it ends
Took breathing for granted
and now i don't know how to breathe
something that you planted
just won't get up and leave
Hey, i'm bewildered and writing myself notes
- In the Mirror
I look in the mirror
To see what my hair is doing
Is it kind of skywalker
Or kind of stupid?
But that's not the real
Reason I'm looking
I need a reminder of what I'm doing
I need a reminder that I'm human
- Inside Of Love
watching terrible tv
it kills all thoughts
Getting spacier than
An astronaut
Making out with people
I hardly know or like
I can't believe what i do
Late at night
- Je t'attendais
Je t'attendais
Dans les loges chez des amis,
Je t'attendais dans la rue et dans la nuit
Je t'attendais
T'es bien ici
Les années que j'ai gaspillé
Je m'inquiétais
- Killian's Red
I'm putting this night down to bed
Cause i was sitting at the bar
Hoping you're walk in the door
That says killian's red
Cause i left you a note that said
Come on out and we'll both get
Right off of our heads
And float up off the chair
- Kitty cat song
I am just a kitten,
Hardly fit my mittens
Much too small, I figure,
One day I'll be bigger
One day I'll be a great big kitty cat
Use open windows to go from flat to flat
Meow-meow meow-meow meow meow (x4)
- La Pour Ca
pense a moi la prochaine fois que
tu entendra la rumeur des vagues
et si elles te disent que tu m’as fait
que du mal, t’en fais pas
j’suis la pour ca
la mer connait pas le fil du temps
qui nous rapproche et nous separe
vive la maree haute et vive la basse
- Me and You
Me and you
Got nothing better to do
Than to push each other around
In our own way
I'm gonna divine it
I'm gonna figure out the cause
Why we're both riding up and down
On my emotional flaws
- Meow Meow Lullaby
Meow-meow meow-meow meow meow (x4)
I am just a kitten,
Hardly fit my mittens
Much too small, i figure,
One day i'll be bigger
One day i'll be a great big kitty cat
Use open windows to go from flat to flat
- Neither Heaven Nor Space
So quiet
It's neither heaven nor space, it's just high
And the ring around the moon
looks like light and love
Neither of which I get enough of
Down there
Where alot of people lie, In a deep sleep
And months on end go by, in a single week
- Nothing
I didn't do anything today
Lazyhead
I didn't do anything today
Stay in bed
I'm finally doing what i
said i'd never do
I'm doing nothing
I'm doing it for you
- Paper Boats
sit on a train, reading a book
same damn planet every time i look
try to relax and slow my heartbeat
only works when i'm dead asleep
been thinking and drinking all over the town
must be gearing up for some kind of melt-down
all i am is a body floating down-wind
what's wrong?
- Popular
Three important rules for breaking up
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
- Pressure Free
i would love to be pressure free
from the weight of nothing that bears down on me
how can i assimilate two thousand years
when i can't even deal with everyday fears
i've been married and i've been a slut
and in the middle of both i said so what
gotta stop thinking like a shrink
- Psychic Caramel
Take a look at what's been done
The killing wound is the thousandth cut
A dead turtle on the beach puts my happiness out of reach
Sea sun sand self
Sea sun sand
Psychic caramel dimulants they're good for the undertow
Better than a psychotic stimulant
- River Phoenix
Born to hippie parents
Given a different name
Which he caught much flak for
The world was his oyster
And hollywood the clam
When he grew up
He joined a hippie band
He was directed by gus van zandt
- See These Bones
Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of this story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning
Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of this story
From the sharks and the jets
- Silver Lining
No news is good now
Our love has run out
Now we're mining the silver lining
There's a wind
Blowing me to you
We could start again
Keeping only what is true
- Spooky
Do you remember lying on the ground
You were smart and spooky
We rented a car and left our bands
And drove outside the city
I remember the view
It was the stars and you
We thought that this was the one
Both of our ships had come
- Stalemate
Stalemate when do I jump out of the cake
Stalemate when do we admit it's a fake
Stalemate when do I jump out of the cake
I'm the nervous watcher
And I watch
Time to turn it on
But i turn it off
- Teenage Dreams
Calm down now
Gotta trust the mind
Take as common sense
In the blood of time
Can't talk much just a little bit
The truth is a tree if you start shaking it
- Telescope
I think i lost some years, sometimes i don't know how
I forget to remember now
You used to tell me things that you were thinking
Now we don't even talk, that's what i'm thinking
Let's have a day outside for the lonely
They're gonna cry tonight
I've got some stuff in a box, maybe i'll show you sometime
But the box would think that was unwise
- The Film Did Not Go Round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound
Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
If I had wings, I'd follow you up there
- The Fox
The fox, the fox
Lied
Eyes on the wrong prize
The fox, the fox
Lied
Fox eyes on the wrong prize
We're in a different war
With ourselves, and with some of you
- The Manoeuvres
the lover's crime is to think alone
waste your time in another zone
my wicked mind thinks you're on loan
learn the manoeuvres again and again
affection and alienation
keep my footing with some of my friends
while others are changing the station
you want to compete
- The Plan
There's a way to drive, I see it once in a while
I watch the tail-lights and memorize
I won't be too scared, I won't be too tired
I'm becoming hard-wired
Feeling hazy, waking up inertia
I'm having dreams I'm in the wrong picture
Am I older than you thought
- Tree House
I can see the things she does for me
I'm living in a treehouse
I live in constant fear
Awakening must be near
I'm sleeping in a dreamhouse
Up in the trees
A tine in the fork in the road is pointing to heaven
- Weightless
Outside just killing time and making noise
And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless
If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere
and don’t dream, that is a dream it is what it seems
Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing
Cold radio and licenses plates but don’t dream,
That is a dream it is what it seems
- What Is Your Secret
So we sat and talked
Then we walked and talked but
Thought it was the truth
What is your secret?
Dragged it on and on
Even favorite songs but
Your division's wrong
What is your secret?
- When I Was Young
It’s amazing how much time love saves you at first
When you rediscover your reason to work
And your aimless dreaming has found a target
And normalize and greed all function return
Came home early, quarter to two
I don’t need more wine, I’m coming for you
We carry pictures in our pretend wallet
Of ourselves and heavily edited seventies
- Whose Authority
I walk like you guide me, my eyes
Are shut like I'm blind
Turn to you and listening and tryin'
To be in your mind
There's a feeling that I get
When I look to the west
'Bout having all the answers
Still failing the test
- Zen Brain
It's going from strange to stranger
Every year
I take it back
You're panicking
I take it back
I just don't know
I really thought I wanted to go
