HOPELESS ROMANTIC

I don't know what other people see
or what they think is love
But i know know what it means to me
I fall in love so easily
And it's hard to let your guard down
Something you never wanted to
But i gave you my heart and if you turned away
I guess i'd be screwed, but...

I'm a hopeless romantic
You're just hopeless

Beer and wine does me fine but
it doesn't always do
When i get back up and dust off
I always come back to you.
I'm my own man with my own plan
I can't do the things you want me to
I'm kinda lazy and i kinda stink
But i'll clean myself up for you

'87

Do you remember when the days gone
by or is there no point for us to even try
Back when we didn't have a care in the world,
Getting drunk and chasing girls
Do you remember the days gone past and how we
always wanted the good times to last The time
we spent hanging out is how we learned what life is about
Everything is set for the perfect night
when music is playing and it sounds just right
It gets inside and helps you to be all that
you want and you are free
Those times that we all hoped would last
it seems that they've gone by so fast
I woke up one day and i was 25 with a hell
of a hangover and some demented sense of pride
All we had was our dreams that's all we needed to be free
After the party came and went i found myself half bent
I had to stop and look around and my friends were all i found
All these things i thought were wrong but these
contradictions they made me strong
I know i can be free and it all came from inside of me
All we had was our dreams
that's all we needed to be free
Do you remember? I do!

KID

You're a good kid Play the game to break your heart
You've gotta get back to where you started
Pay attention now or it'll slip by It's your heart
don't let it die Leave it all behind
whoooaaaa (cathy line)
Is it true when we get old our hearts die?
I heard it in a movie once and i think i know why
life it sucks so bad it makes you wanna die
Whoooaaa but you get by
Life goes by
You're a good kid you've still got the power in you
Hangin' around you don't know what to do
Don't think too much Just let it loose
Get up now's your chance we are here
and we make you dance you are not
alone this is our home Life goes by

FIGHT TO LIVE

Tonight we're alone and the music is right
Do you feel good do you feel allright tonight?
I'm out on the streets tonight I'm with a few
friends so it feel allright. Shouting out loud
to this doesn't do it. If it doesn't sink in
then i say screw it. Same old vices not much to
dream about is there anything left to fight about.
Fighting to live is the only fight i've got left in me
I've never been the same since that last show
I close my eyes and let myself go to a place
I'm never alone or scared Somehow i had a reason
a reason to care. I get so lost in it..

Live to fight - Fight to live
Tonight were alone and the music is right
do you feel good do you feel allright?
Tonight were alone and the music is right
do you feel good do you feel allright?

I'm on the train and i've got my phones
People all around but i'm good all alone
I won't worry what i need to be
wherever i am is the place to be
Tonight were alone and the music is right

do you feel good do you feel allright?
Tonight were alone and the music is right
do you feel good do you feel allright?
we feel good we feel allright tonight

BULLYING THE JUKEBOX

Well i walked into the bar and i put in twenty bucks
Because i know people taste in music sucks About four
hours had passed, forty picks and my empty glass,
a tasty number all dressed in black tried to rock us
with her wack attack There was no fuss we knew her game
you look good but all your songs are lame

Bullying the jukebox because it's fun, you can't get near it
until we're done Bullying the jukebox because we rule
all the songs we like are really cool

Songs of punk and songs of joy, love songs about girls and
boys; songs of metal and English stuff and some hardcore
songs to make us feel tough but we all agreed that the
songs of woe, and the songs of loved ones had to go
Churned up memories of time we dreamt that got us all
verklempt We drank until our last song We paid our tab
and we said so long swerwing in and out of cars...
it's off to rock another bar

YOU'RE SO RAD

You're so rad than my dad if you were a fabric you'd be plaid
Everybody knows plaid is so rad i think about you and i go mad
You're so rad you really spark my nads some say you're good
but i know you're bad if you go i'll be sad stop the presses
run an ad if there were three og you you'd be a rad triad
You're so rad

NIGHT ON EARTH

Passed some time on the stoop on the block were we used to sit
I thought about it all too much I thought so hard i couldn't see
Pete rode by on his Hutch Passed some time on the stoop on the
block were we used to sit i looked down and tied my shoes
I thought about it all too much i looked up and then i knew
I guess these things were meant to be and there's no use fighting
what's in me Night on earth Passed some time walking around
looking for something to be when i stopped to look around
all the music was different to me All these places we used
to go when i loved you i didn't see I'll miss you but now
i'll know better next time because i found me

and wear adidas anywhere we get the itch we're off to find

UNDENIABLE

The one minute i saw you i remember your red shoes i keep this
little memory of you i see you in my mind when i need to
Thank you for your red shoes. Some say the world isn't fair
at least for one minute i didn't care It's all in how i see
it and what i choose Nothing seems black
when i see your red shoes
Thank you for your red shoes That minute i saw you i remember
you and your red shoes now i have his memory of you i see it
in my mind when i need too

WISH ME WELL (GO TO HELL)
(featuring Kara Wethington)

I've got to be me baby and you gotta be you
Something isn't right but i know i love you
I only want what's best i don't know Is this
some kind of test. Yeah and you're failing
all we do is bicker
Say goodbye Kiss my ass I hope you die
Wish me well You can go to hell
We were so different a short time ago Love
is suppose to make us happy supposed to make us grow
But i just wanna punch you in the face
i love you i guess needed the space
Oh well another time and another place
Say goodbye Kiss my ass I hope you die
Wish me well You can go to hell

IT'S NOT THE HEAT, IT'S THE HUMANITY

It's hot It's a four-alarm fricasee boy this heat is
killing me it's hot it's hot tonight It's duelling
dicks in a deep-fry It's hot standing next to these
other guys it's hot It's sweaty snapper in a stir-fry
A blazing sun under a red sky It's hot It's hot It's
sexy and it's wet and the show ain't even over yet
How much better can get tonight It's so hot i can't
even think I need some air I need a drink Sweaty
bodies everywhere down to their underwear tonight!
My balls are sticking to my leg Pass the 40;
sippin' dregs Raise the roof let's set it off
Cuz we just can get enough tonight!

THE WHOLE THING

Music sounds in my ear there are bricks for my view
I hear the train pass and im sure that i miss you
But i'll keep my head and i'll try and i know this will
pass by and by I made some coffeen and i overheard the
neighbors too sometimes they laugh sometimes they scream
it all reminds me of you But i don't worry anyway, after
all you are so far away Sometimes sadness feels happy
sometimes sadness keeps my head. Sometimes it helps me
to get by maybe i don't make no sense But i know this
will pass by and by Now i know i'm gonna try and i know
this will pass by and by
