1 - Personal
I saw you on Gaydar
Your profile was so clever
All the references to Baudrillard
It must have taken you forever
I opened up the photographs
You let it dingle dangle
It looked to be 8 1/2
But it could have been the angle
(chorus)
Let's get personal (x3)
We're gonna get personal
I met you on a Saturday
You sent me an instant message
You wanted to meet right away
Down under the Manhattan Bridge
I guess I didn't understand
When you said, "Are you top or bottom?"
I said, "Your wish is my command,
Whichever side you want, I got 'em."
(chorus)
I saw you on Gaydar
That's when I fell in love with you
You may not be a movie star
But you're the best that I could do
I think we're gonna get along
NYCboislut24
Your membership days are gone
You don't need to log on anymore
(chorus)
2 - Cheating on Your Boyfriend
The weather is nice again
You're showing a little skin
And getting a little drunk
It's Saturday
And under the disco ball
Everybody's dancing and all
I was in that December funk
But it's going away
So what's wrong?
You're acting weird
Is it the song?
You've disappeared
I think you're freaking out
It's no big deal
Just kiss me on the mouth
(chorus)
You're cheating on your boyfriend (x3)
And that's allright
And then I stand on the bar
With my acoustic guitar
In the pair of dungarees
That show everything
And I know you'd do it on a whim
But I can tell you wish that I was him
Well he might be fun
But he's not gonna make you sing
'Cause he's not around
And we're alone
So what's it now?
You're on the phone
I think you're freaking out
It's no big deal
Just kiss me on the mouth
(chorus)
Follow me into the ladies' room
I've got something important to say

3 - When You Go Dancing
Just say the things you want to say (x2)
'Cause when he's gone you'll never get another chance to tell him how
he turned you on when you were dancing
Just do the things you want to do (x2)
'Cause when you wait for a better song there isn't any that's good enough
and it's all the same when you go dancing
Just leave the things you want to leave
And love the things you want to love
'Cause when you die you leave your prints on everybody you ever touched
so don't be shy when you go dancing
4 - The Face of Everything
Everybody's seen your pretty face
But they don't know
How many operations did it take to place
It all just so, oh
Everybody wants you to disappear
But they don't get
How many years of waiting did it take to clear
Your skin and debt
(chorus)
'Cause everybody wants to believe
In something beautiful they know could never really be
Something beautiful that never really could be
Everybody's seen your Vegas show
But they don't care
How many yards of gold lamay and velvet bows
You'll never wear
(chorus)
(chorus)
5 - The Start Song
You couldn't get
a single word
in all day long
They should've let
your voice be heard
and now you're gone
Now you're gone
They got a man
to do your job
for twice the pay
But when I can
we're gonna stop
and walk away
Just walk away
just walk away
I don't care what the committee said
They don't know me from the books I read
They don't know me at all
|
6 - Clay
Clay got in a fight
He couldn't perform
He didn't want to show his face
In May, June, or July
But he knew in his heart
They'd always have a special place
In Autumn when the college boys go back to school in fancy New England
towns
Clay wanted to know
What it would be like
He didn't want to do it all
Today he came on his own
But he said that he might
Be paying them another call
In Summer when the college boys with girlfriends who wouldn't look at
you in high school
In high school
Clay was surfing all day
He's a little bit sore
But mama said it's all gonna be Okay
Just do what I say
And look at the floor
And think about a special female
In December you'll be 21 and nobody will remember who you are
7 - In My Head
I know it's sad
But I can't help it anymore
'Cause what we had
I never felt like that before
It's just the way you move in slow
And then you say, "I have to go"
Don't tell me how
You never meant to lead me on
And then you vow
That when I wake up you'll be gone
Well mama said that shouldn't care
But in my head you're the sun and air
and
(chorus)
I know this isn't really happening (x2)
Really happening to me
I know it's wrong
To make you fall in love with me
With just a song
And half a hit of ecstasy
But I was scared that you would leave
'Cause in my head you're all I need
and
(chorus)
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to do
Don't show me how to be
Don't kill my fantasy
'cause
(chorus x2)

8 - Tell Me How
My boy, he goes to work
in a Chevrolet
And I sit at home like a jerk
and I watch cartoons all day
How am I gonna make things right with him now?
Tell me how am I gonna make this right with him?
Tell me how
My boy, he goes to school
on a Saturday
And I sit in church like a fool
and I cross my legs and pray
How am I gonna let this little light of mine...
Tell me how am I gonna shine this little light?
Tell me how
My boy he goes to bed
on a friday night
And I try to sleep but instead
I look at porn and write
9 - Corduroy
It took a week to fall in love
I thought you fit me like a glove
and I planned our wedding in my head
but I should have listened when you said
that it was
(chorus)
too good to be true (x2)
I should have known
The night I had the heart attack
we kissed and everything went black
And when you took me to the roof
I turned to dust and it was proof
that it was
(chorus)
It took a week to fall apart
You shut me down and broke my heart
and when you told me not to look
well I couldn't help it and I took
one last photograph
It's just the way you look like the wolfboy
I rue the day I saw you in corduroy
10 - I Hate the War
It's over I'm done writing songs about love
There's a war going on so
I'm holding my gun with a strap and a glove
And I'm writing a song about war
and it goes
(chorus)
na na na na na na na na na
I hate the war (x3)
I'm sick of the news it's the same everyday
But I can't turn it off so
I'm trying to choose every word that I say
But it's never enough and I'm lost
so I go
(chorus)
What I'm trying to say is
it's time to get in the way
It's crazy that this thing is still going on
I can't believe this thing is still going on
and it goes
(choruses) |
11 - The Movement
This is the movement
and the revolution
We are the wasted
and the pollution
This is the struggle
and the opposition
We are the weakness
and the submission
(chorus)
They're gonna make a place for us at the center of the earth (x2)
At every meeting
that I ever went to
I got the feeling
that I wasn't meant to
be tough and take it
this understanding
I'm not gonna make it
so let's go dancing
(chorus x2)
(repeat first verse)
12 - I'm Not Gonna Tell You Anything
I'm not gonna tell you anything, no I'm... (x32)
(chorus)
I'm not gonna give anything away, no
I'm not gonna let anybody in, no
I'm not gonna be the one to say,
"I love you"
I'm not gonna tell you anything, no
I'm not gonna make you understand, no
I'm not gonna be the one to sing,
"I love you"
(repeat chorus)
