Beautiful World - Rage Against The Machine ( Original song by Devo)
It’s a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place
Beautiful people everywhere
The way they show they care makes me want to say
It’s a beautiful world
Oh what a beautiful world
For you
It’s a wonderful time to be here
It’s nice to be alive
Wonderful people everywhere
The way they comb their hair makes me want to say
It’s a wonderful place
Oh what a wonderful place
For you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, not me
The New Year - Death Cab For Cutie
so this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).
so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions
so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one
i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.
there'd be no distance that could hold us back (x2)
so this is the new year (x4)
Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerized and I'm so hypnotized
And I am vindicated
{Chorus}
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of it has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated
I'm so motivated
I am certain now that
{Chorus}
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away (3x)
So let me slip against the current and let me slip away
{Chorus}
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Go To Sleep - Radiohead
Something for the rag and bone man
"Over my dead body"
Something big is gonna happen
"Over my dead body"
Someone's son or someone's daughter
"Over my dead body"
This is how I end up getting sucked in
"Over my dead body"
I'm gonna go to sleep let this wash all over me
We don't wanna wake the monster
"Tiptoe round tie him down"
We don't want the loonies taking over
"Tiptoe round tie them down"
May pretty horses
Come to you
As you sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me.
Post Modern Sleaze (Flight to Nashville mix) - Sneaker Pimps
She looks ahead, she paints her toe nails red,
She's wet and wild, a typical 90's child,
She makes every move they make
She takes everything they take
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze.
Unscrew the wine, she'll throw a party line,
Stories extreme, she's such a drama queen,
Cries through the night, she choked on Marlboro lites,
Pure charm and grace, she hates her pretty face,
She makes every move they make
She takes everything they take
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze.
Straw spun from gold, she craves a tortured soul,
All doom and gloom, she plays an open wound,
She takes (every scene) they steal
She fakes (every pain) they feel
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze.
The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows - Brand New
We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nurse the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lovers tryst
Were neither clear nor discript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we dropped out
Give up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then I knew I could do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed, parents let them shoulder all the blame
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we dropped out
Give up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we dropped out
Give up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
(I lie for only you
And I lie well Halleluh)
32 Flavors - Ani Difranco
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said
both my parents taught me about good will
and I have done well by their names
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
is more than I can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so I would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
til I'd passed and left them alone
and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a pheonix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back
I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said
Anthem For Our Dying Day - Story of the Year
The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly
Exactly what I need
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight
I'd scream this song right in your face
If you were hear
I swear I wont miss a beat
Cause I never
Never have before
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
Of our dying day
Of our dying day
Of our dying!!!
For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
And you gasp for air tonight!!
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
Our dying day
Of our dying!!!
Joyful Girl - Soulive with Dave Matthews (Original song by Ani Difranco
do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to
everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way
no, well o.k. then
don't cry
i wonder if everything i do
i do instead
of something i want to do more
the question fills my head
i know there's no grand plan here
this is just the way it goes
when everything else seems unclear
i guess at least i know
i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to
Remember to Breathe - Dashboard Confessional
She fixes her lips they
Always look perfect
Never a smudged line
Never too much
I try on my blue shirt
She told me she liked it, once
She wonders what I'll wear
She knows just what she'll wear
She always wears blue
So sneakers or flip flops
I'm starting to panic, wait wait
Remember she asked you
Remember to
Breathe
And everything will be okay
Okay [x2]
Alright [x6]
Okay
Guernica - Brand New
Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won.
Worry and wake the ones you love.
A phone call I'd rather not receive.
Please use my body while I sleep.
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep,
Kept clean and they will let you breathe.
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I'm not writing my goodbyes.
I submit no excuse.
If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake.
If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells
and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure.
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I'm not writing my goodbyes.
I'm not letting you check out.
You will beat this starting now and you will always be around.
I'm there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you're sleeping.
I will keep you safe and sound.
Does anybody remember back when you were very young.
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
Bite To Break Skin - Senses Fail
So let me take this medicine
to quench my love for violent things.
My swan song will
be like a bullet laced in anger
as the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel.
(It's back) It's getting slower.
(This war) It's getting harder
to fight by myself.
(This place) A bitter fashion.
(Ripped out) this shield that I have.
Tears rain from above.
Do you see the life I lead?
So follow me into the sun
and I will bleed the poision dry.
These bayonet scars never seize
to blind the light shed from the beast
and all we do is hate.
(Passion) from constant visions.
(Angels) A round of useless
good has lost its heart.
Do you see the life I lead?
So follow me into the sun
and i will bleed the posion dry.
For you [x2]
(For you!) [x3]
Bite to break skin.
Don't give the secret.
My stoic face,
beating with passion.
The Phoenix will die
inside the firestorm.
I am the son.
Follow my footsteps. [x2]

Hurt - Johnny Cash (Original song by Nine Inch Nails)
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
[Chorus:]
What have I become
My ssweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
What I Got ( acapella ) - 311 (Original song by Sublime
Early in the mornin' rising to the street
light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet
got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation, I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a rubber duckin' riot
'cuz, life is too short so love the one you got
'cuz you might get run over or ya might get shot
never start static I gots get it off my chest
never had to battle with my bullet proof vest
take a small example, take a ti-ti-tip from me
take all of your money and give it to charity
love is what I got it's with in my reach
and this Sublime style still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you your gonna get what you deserve
try and test that, you're bound to get served
love's what I got don't start a riot
and you feel it when the dance gets hot..hot
lovin' is what I got I said remember that (4x)
I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
hits the bottle and goes back to the rock
drinkin' and fightin' it all the same
livin' with Louie dogs' the only way to stay sane
let the lovin' let the lovin' come back to me
-freestyle-
-chorus-
So just get off of your ass.
Lovin' is what I got I said remember that (8x)
-split-
-A-
Lovin' is what I got I said remember that (5x with fadeout)
-B-
life is too short so love the one you got
'cuz you might get run over or ya might get shot
never start static I just get it off my chest
never had to battle with my bullet tip whooo
a small example take a ti-ti-tip from me
take up all of your money and give it to charity-ty-ty-ty
love is what I got it's with in my reach
and the Sublime style still straight from Long Beach
no, It all comes back to you your gonna get what you deserve
try and test that, your bound to get served
love's what I got don't start a riot
and you feel it when the dance.. get..uh.. thats good enough.

Swing Swing - The All-American Rejects
Days swiftly come and go.
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions they stir
The sun is gone.
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall.
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new
[Chorus]
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again.
Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new love.
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again
Bury me
(you thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(away. away, away...)
[Chorus fades till end]
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again
Girl All the Bad Guys Want - Bowling For Soup
8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin'
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me.
Her name is Lola, she's a rocker with a nose ring,
She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that means.
And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She doesn't notice me!
Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She likes the godsmack and I like agent orange
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have
And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She'll never notice me!
Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes
She likes 'em with a moustache
Racetrack season pass
Drivin' in a Trans-Am
Does a mullet make a man?
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
There she goes again
With fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated
All I wanted was to see her naked!
Now I am watchin' wrestling
Tryin' to be a tough guy
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in my eyes
I can't grow a moustache
And I ain't got no season pass
All I got's a moped...moped....moped.....
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
Sunrise, Sunset - Bright Eyes
Sunrise, sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Swiftly go the days.
Sunrise, sunset.
You wake up, then you undress.
It always is the same.
A sunrise and a sunset.
You are lying while you confess, keep trying to explain.
The sunrise and the sun sets you realize
and then you forget what you have been trying to retain.
But everybody knows that it is all about the things
that get stuck inside of your head,
like the songs your roommate sings
or a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed.
She raised her hands in the air and asked you,
When was the last time you looked in the mirror?
Because you have changed.
Yeah, you have changed.
Sunrise, sunset.
You are hopeful and then you regret.
The circle never breaks.
With each sunrise and sunset there is a change of heart or address.
Is there nothing that remains?
For a sunrise or a sunset.
You are manic or you're depressed.
Will you ever feel ok?
It's a sunrise and sunset, your lover is an actress.
Did you really think she would stay?
For a sunrise and sunset.
You are either coming or you just left but you are always on the way.
Towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet.
They are really just the same.
To the sunrise and the sunset.
The master and his servant have exactly the same fate.
It's a sunrise and a sunset.
From a cradle to a casket.
There ain't no way to escape.
The sunrise and the sunset.
Hold your sadness like a puppet, just keep putting on the play.
But everything you do is leading to the point
where you just won't know what to do.
And at that moment you may laugh
but there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you.
So it's true, the trick is complete.
Now you have become everything you said that you never would be.
You're a fool! You're a fool!
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset.
The sunrise and the sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Go home to your apartment
and put the cassette in the tape deck and let that fever play.
Sunrise, sunset.
Where are you Arienette?
Where are you Arienette?
Letting the Cables Sleep - Bush
You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don’t wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come
Whatever you say it’s alright
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep
Whatever you say it’s alright
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We’ll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I’m a stranger in this town
I’m a stranger in this town
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I’m a stranger in this town
I’m a stranger in this town
Cavanaugh Park - Something Corporate
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit all alone in the dark
And dream about things that I cannot say
they said destiny would blow me away
And nothing's gonna blow me away
At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me to play in the sand
And said to me, "Son, one day you'll be a man
And men can do terrible things."
Yes they can
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
We used to get high
Watching teams as they fought
They loved my friend Adam
But he always got caught
Man, that kid made fucking up look cool
Aren't we all so cool?
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think that this life would be good
And I would do things that I thought that I should
And no one's going to tear me down
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
There’s Never Enough Time - The Postal Service
in due time.
we'll finally see
there's barely time
for us to breathe.
in due time.
we'll finally see
there's barely time
for us to breathe.
in due time.
we'll finally see
there's barely time
for us to breathe.
This is Not An Exit - Save The Day
Tonight will be the night that we begin to ease the plugs out of the dam.
And we still stand knee deep in the flow,
the undertow will grab our heels and won't let go.
Abd while we hold, our legs quivering,
the water rises now to our teeth when we just let go
and sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping our backs.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that we have
and all the wasted nights and empty moments in our lives
are flushed away as we sway with the rhythm of the waves bobbing us up.
Crests fall to troughs as we feel our gills open up
and sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping our backs.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that we have.
And if the hook set in the bottom of our lungs,
we'll rip it out and lick the blood off with our tongues.
Despair could ravage you if yo turn your head around
to look down the path that's lead you here, cause what can you change?
You're a vessel now floating down the waterways.
You can take your rudder and aim your ship,
just don't bother with the things left in your wake.
Just sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping your back.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that you have
and your love will be warm nights with pockets of moonlight
spotlighting you as you drift, the actor in this play.
You walk across the stage, take a bow, hear the applause,
and as the curtain falls, just know you did it all
the best that you knew how and you can hear them cheering now.
So let a smile out and show your teeth cause you know you lived it well.
Not What It Seems - Something Corporate
A long day
If ever these questions were yours what would you say
you don't know
but I'm writing the answers on cheap paper napkins
and now he's turning off
and now she's shutting down
and it's not what it seems
nothings the same when you give it away
no its not what it seems
it's just what you think it is
and these fights
they climb through my veins like its mecury rising
and these nights
I seem to remember a home that was better
and now he's turning off
and now she's shutting down
and its not what it seems
nothings the same when you give it away
no its not what it seems
its just what you think it is
and now he's turning off
his family's breaking down
and it's not what it seems
nothings the same when you give it away
no it's not what it seems
its just what you think it is its just what you think it is
no its not what it seems
nothings the same when you give it away
no its not what it seems
it's just what you think it is just what you think it is
it's just what you think it is
what you think it is

It's built on findin the easier ways through
God is a woman and the woman is
An animal that animals man, and that's you
Was there a need for creation?
That was hiden in a math equation
And that's this?
WHERE DO CIRCLES BEGIN?

Great Romances Of The 20th Century - Taking Back Sunday
[Spoken]
A beautiful girl can make you dizzy,
Like you've been drinking Jack & Coke all morning.
She can make you feel high,
Full of the single greatest commodity known to man.
Promise, the promise of a better day,
The promise of a greater hope
The promise of a new tomorrow...
This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl;
In her smile, and in her soul,
And in the way she makes every rotten little thing about life,
Seem like its going to be okay.
[Sung]
September never stays this cold
where I come from
And you know
I’m not one for complaining,
But I love the way you roll
Excuses off the tip of your tongue
As I'd slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
Fall apart...
This won’t mean a thing come tomorrow
and that’s exactly how I’ll make it seem
Cause I'm still not sleeping,
thinking I’ve crawled home from worse than this
So please, please (please)
I’m running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy)
and I never said I’d take this
I never said I'd take this lying down
She says
"Come on, come on, let’s just get this over with"
She says
"Come on, come on, let’s just get this over with"
(I never said I’d take this lying down, let's just get this over with,
and I've crawled home from worse than this)
She says
"Come on, come on, let’s just get this over with"
She says
"Come on, come on.."
(You always come close but this never comes easy)
I still know everything
(You always come close but this never comes easy)
I still know everything
(You always come close but this never comes easy)
I still know everything
You always come so close...
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know...
(You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come... you come in close)
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
But I've crawled home from worse than this
If it's not keeping you up nights
(Then what’s the point)
Then what’s the point
(Then what’s the point)
Then what’s the point
I'm in your room
Is this turning you on
Am I turning you on?
I'm in your room
Are you turned on?
I'm on the corner of your bed,
I'm thinkin maybe
Are you turned on,
Are you turned on?
We’re Going To Be Friends - White Stripes
Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends
Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
safely walk to school without a sound
safely walk to school without a sound
Here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn
we clean up and now its time to learn
Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall
teacher marks our height against the wall
We don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing
Tonight I'll dream while in my bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tommorow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we're going to be friends
Lullaby - Stephen Lynch
Hush little girl
sweet baby don't cry, tonight
Daddy is here and he'll
sing you a soft lullabye, tonight
Why can't it all be like
it was before
How can I explain why mommys
not here, anymore
Because daddy likes porno
and $10 whores
Daddy gets wasted and robs
liquor stores
Daddy likes rubbing against
little boys on the bus
i think thats why your mommy left us
mommy left us...
hush little girl, there is
no reason to fret, not tonight
don't mind the smoke,
daddy just wants to forget
(exhales deeply) tonight
soon it will all be like it was before
any minute she will walk
through that front door...
but daddy plays poker
and drinks lots of beer
then he wants sex that invloves
mommy's rear
daddy has sores on his naughty
parts oozing with puss
I think thats why your mommy left us
Please don't cry, i swear i'll
try, to be here by your side
Right after daddy gets
home from the bar
visits his booky,
and steals a new car
he'll drive to the strip club
and if daddy plays his cards
right, he'll bring home your
new mommy tonight, li de di, li de di...
Beautiful World - Rage Against The Machine ( Original song by Devo)
It’s a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place
Beautiful people everywhere
The way they show they care makes me want to say
It’s a beautiful world
Oh what a beautiful world
For you
It’s a wonderful time to be here
It’s nice to be alive
Wonderful people everywhere
The way they comb their hair makes me want to say
It’s a wonderful place
Oh what a wonderful place
For you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, not me
The New Year - Death Cab For Cutie
so this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).
so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions
so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one
i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.
there'd be no distance that could hold us back (x2)
so this is the new year (x4)
Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerized and I'm so hypnotized
And I am vindicated
{Chorus}
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of it has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated
I'm so motivated
I am certain now that
{Chorus}
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away (3x)
So let me slip against the current and let me slip away
{Chorus}
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Go To Sleep - Radiohead
Something for the rag and bone man
"Over my dead body"
Something big is gonna happen
"Over my dead body"
Someone's son or someone's daughter
"Over my dead body"
This is how I end up getting sucked in
"Over my dead body"
I'm gonna go to sleep let this wash all over me
We don't wanna wake the monster
"Tiptoe round tie him down"
We don't want the loonies taking over
"Tiptoe round tie them down"
May pretty horses
Come to you
As you sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me.
Post Modern Sleaze (Flight to Nashville mix) - Sneaker Pimps
She looks ahead, she paints her toe nails red,
She's wet and wild, a typical 90's child,
She makes every move they make
She takes everything they take
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze.
Unscrew the wine, she'll throw a party line,
Stories extreme, she's such a drama queen,
Cries through the night, she choked on Marlboro lites,
Pure charm and grace, she hates her pretty face,
She makes every move they make
She takes everything they take
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze.
Straw spun from gold, she craves a tortured soul,
All doom and gloom, she plays an open wound,
She takes (every scene) they steal
She fakes (every pain) they feel
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze.
The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows - Brand New
We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nurse the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lovers tryst
Were neither clear nor discript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we dropped out
Give up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then I knew I could do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed, parents let them shoulder all the blame
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we dropped out
Give up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we dropped out
Give up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
(I lie for only you
And I lie well Halleluh)
32 Flavors - Ani Difranco
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said
both my parents taught me about good will
and I have done well by their names
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
is more than I can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so I would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
til I'd passed and left them alone
and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a pheonix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back
I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said
Anthem For Our Dying Day - Story of the Year
The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly
Exactly what I need
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight
I'd scream this song right in your face
If you were hear
I swear I wont miss a beat
Cause I never
Never have before
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
Of our dying day
Of our dying day
Of our dying!!!
For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
And you gasp for air tonight!!
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
Our dying day
Of our dying!!!
Joyful Girl - Soulive with Dave Matthews (Original song by Ani Difranco
do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to
everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way
no, well o.k. then
don't cry
i wonder if everything i do
i do instead
of something i want to do more
the question fills my head
i know there's no grand plan here
this is just the way it goes
when everything else seems unclear
i guess at least i know
i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to
Remember to Breathe - Dashboard Confessional
She fixes her lips they
Always look perfect
Never a smudged line
Never too much
I try on my blue shirt
She told me she liked it, once
She wonders what I'll wear
She knows just what she'll wear
She always wears blue
So sneakers or flip flops
I'm starting to panic, wait wait
Remember she asked you
Remember to
Breathe
And everything will be okay
Okay [x2]
Alright [x6]
Okay
Guernica - Brand New
Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won.
Worry and wake the ones you love.
A phone call I'd rather not receive.
Please use my body while I sleep.
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep,
Kept clean and they will let you breathe.
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I'm not writing my goodbyes.
I submit no excuse.
If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake.
If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells
and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure.
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around.
I'm not writing my goodbyes.
I'm not letting you check out.
You will beat this starting now and you will always be around.
I'm there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you're sleeping.
I will keep you safe and sound.
Does anybody remember back when you were very young.
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
Bite To Break Skin - Senses Fail
So let me take this medicine
to quench my love for violent things.
My swan song will
be like a bullet laced in anger
as the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel.
(It's back) It's getting slower.
(This war) It's getting harder
to fight by myself.
(This place) A bitter fashion.
(Ripped out) this shield that I have.
Tears rain from above.
Do you see the life I lead?
So follow me into the sun
and I will bleed the poision dry.
These bayonet scars never seize
to blind the light shed from the beast
and all we do is hate.
(Passion) from constant visions.
(Angels) A round of useless
good has lost its heart.
Do you see the life I lead?
So follow me into the sun
and i will bleed the posion dry.
For you [x2]
(For you!) [x3]
Bite to break skin.
Don't give the secret.
My stoic face,
beating with passion.
The Phoenix will die
inside the firestorm.
I am the son.
Follow my footsteps. [x2]

Hurt - Johnny Cash (Original song by Nine Inch Nails)
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
[Chorus:]
What have I become
My ssweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
What I Got ( acapella ) - 311 (Original song by Sublime
Early in the mornin' rising to the street
light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet
got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation, I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a rubber duckin' riot
'cuz, life is too short so love the one you got
'cuz you might get run over or ya might get shot
never start static I gots get it off my chest
never had to battle with my bullet proof vest
take a small example, take a ti-ti-tip from me
take all of your money and give it to charity
love is what I got it's with in my reach
and this Sublime style still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you your gonna get what you deserve
try and test that, you're bound to get served
love's what I got don't start a riot
and you feel it when the dance gets hot..hot
lovin' is what I got I said remember that (4x)
I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
hits the bottle and goes back to the rock
drinkin' and fightin' it all the same
livin' with Louie dogs' the only way to stay sane
let the lovin' let the lovin' come back to me
-freestyle-
-chorus-
So just get off of your ass.
Lovin' is what I got I said remember that (8x)
-split-
-A-
Lovin' is what I got I said remember that (5x with fadeout)
-B-
life is too short so love the one you got
'cuz you might get run over or ya might get shot
never start static I just get it off my chest
never had to battle with my bullet tip whooo
a small example take a ti-ti-tip from me
take up all of your money and give it to charity-ty-ty-ty
love is what I got it's with in my reach
and the Sublime style still straight from Long Beach
no, It all comes back to you your gonna get what you deserve
try and test that, your bound to get served
love's what I got don't start a riot
and you feel it when the dance.. get..uh.. thats good enough.

Swing Swing - The All-American Rejects
Days swiftly come and go.
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions they stir
The sun is gone.
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall.
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new
[Chorus]
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again.
Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new love.
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again
Bury me
(you thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(away. away, away...)
[Chorus fades till end]
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again
Girl All the Bad Guys Want - Bowling For Soup
8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin'
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me.
Her name is Lola, she's a rocker with a nose ring,
She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that means.
And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She doesn't notice me!
Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She likes the godsmack and I like agent orange
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have
And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She'll never notice me!
Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes
She likes 'em with a moustache
Racetrack season pass
Drivin' in a Trans-Am
Does a mullet make a man?
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
There she goes again
With fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated
All I wanted was to see her naked!
Now I am watchin' wrestling
Tryin' to be a tough guy
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in my eyes
I can't grow a moustache
And I ain't got no season pass
All I got's a moped...moped....moped.....
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want!
Sunrise, Sunset - Bright Eyes
Sunrise, sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Swiftly go the days.
Sunrise, sunset.
You wake up, then you undress.
It always is the same.
A sunrise and a sunset.
You are lying while you confess, keep trying to explain.
The sunrise and the sun sets you realize
and then you forget what you have been trying to retain.
But everybody knows that it is all about the things
that get stuck inside of your head,
like the songs your roommate sings
or a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed.
She raised her hands in the air and asked you,
When was the last time you looked in the mirror?
Because you have changed.
Yeah, you have changed.
Sunrise, sunset.
You are hopeful and then you regret.
The circle never breaks.
With each sunrise and sunset there is a change of heart or address.
Is there nothing that remains?
For a sunrise or a sunset.
You are manic or you're depressed.
Will you ever feel ok?
It's a sunrise and sunset, your lover is an actress.
Did you really think she would stay?
For a sunrise and sunset.
You are either coming or you just left but you are always on the way.
Towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet.
They are really just the same.
To the sunrise and the sunset.
The master and his servant have exactly the same fate.
It's a sunrise and a sunset.
From a cradle to a casket.
There ain't no way to escape.
The sunrise and the sunset.
Hold your sadness like a puppet, just keep putting on the play.
But everything you do is leading to the point
where you just won't know what to do.
And at that moment you may laugh
but there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you.
So it's true, the trick is complete.
Now you have become everything you said that you never would be.
You're a fool! You're a fool!
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset.
The sunrise and the sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Go home to your apartment
and put the cassette in the tape deck and let that fever play.
Sunrise, sunset.

Letting the Cables Sleep - Bush
You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don’t wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come
Whatever you say it’s alright
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep
Whatever you say it’s alright
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We’ll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I’m a stranger in this town
I’m a stranger in this town
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I’m a stranger in this town
I’m a stranger in this town
Cavanaugh Park - Something Corporate
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit all alone in the dark
And dream about things that I cannot say
they said destiny would blow me away
And nothing's gonna blow me away
At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me to play in the sand
And said to me, "Son, one day you'll be a man
And men can do terrible things."
Yes they can
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
We used to get high
Watching teams as they fought
They loved my friend Adam
But he always got caught
Man, that kid made fucking up look cool
Aren't we all so cool?
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think that this life would be good
And I would do things that I thought that I should
And no one's going to tear me down
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change

This is Not An Exit - Save The Day
Tonight will be the night that we begin to ease the plugs out of the dam.
And we still stand knee deep in the flow,
the undertow will grab our heels and won't let go.
Abd while we hold, our legs quivering,
the water rises now to our teeth when we just let go
and sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping our backs.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that we have
and all the wasted nights and empty moments in our lives
are flushed away as we sway with the rhythm of the waves bobbing us up.
Crests fall to troughs as we feel our gills open up
and sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping our backs.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that we have.
And if the hook set in the bottom of our lungs,
we'll rip it out and lick the blood off with our tongues.
Despair could ravage you if yo turn your head around
to look down the path that's lead you here, cause what can you change?
You're a vessel now floating down the waterways.
You can take your rudder and aim your ship,
just don't bother with the things left in your wake.
Just sail belly up to the clouds, the rocks scraping your back.
To breathe in the air will be the only thing that you have
and your love will be warm nights with pockets of moonlight
spotlighting you as you drift, the actor in this play.
You walk across the stage, take a bow, hear the applause,
and as the curtain falls, just know you did it all
the best that you knew how and you can hear them cheering now.
So let a smile out and show your teeth cause you know you lived it well.
Not What It Seems - Something Corporate
A long day

Great Romances Of The 20th Century - Taking Back Sunday
[Spoken]
A beautiful girl can make you dizzy,
Like you've been drinking Jack & Coke all morning.
She can make you feel high,
Full of the single greatest commodity known to man.
Promise, the promise of a better day,
The promise of a greater hope
The promise of a new tomorrow...
This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl;
In her smile, and in her soul,
And in the way she makes every rotten little thing about life,
Seem like its going to be okay.
[Sung]
September never stays this cold
where I come from
And you know
I’m not one for complaining,
But I love the way you roll
Excuses off the tip of your tongue
As I'd slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
Fall apart...
This won’t mean a thing come tomorrow
and that’s exactly how I’ll make it seem
Cause I'm still not sleeping,
thinking I’ve crawled home from worse than this
So please, please (please)
I’m running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy)
and I never said I’d take this
I never said I'd take this lying down
She says
"Come on, come on, let’s just get this over with"
She says
"Come on, come on, let’s just get this over with"
(I never said I’d take this lying down, let's just get this over with,
and I've crawled home from worse than this)
She says
"Come on, come on, let’s just get this over with"
She says
"Come on, come on.."
(You always come close but this never comes easy)
I still know everything
(You always come close but this never comes easy)
I still know everything
(You always come close but this never comes easy)
I still know everything
You always come so close...
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know...
(You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come... you come in close)
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
But I've crawled home from worse than this
If it's not keeping you up nights
(Then what’s the point)
Then what’s the point
(Then what’s the point)
Then what’s the point
I'm in your room
Is this turning you on
Am I turning you on?
I'm in your room
Are you turned on?
I'm on the corner of your bed,
I'm thinkin maybe
Are you turned on,
Are you turned on?
We’re Going To Be Friends - White Stripes
Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends
Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
safely walk to school without a sound
safely walk to school without a sound
Here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn
we clean up and now its time to learn
Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall
teacher marks our height against the wall
We don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing
Tonight I'll dream while in my bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tommorow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we're going to be friends
Lullaby - Stephen Lynch
Hush little girl
sweet baby don't cry, tonight
Daddy is here and he'll
sing you a soft lullabye, tonight
Why can't it all be like
it was before
How can I explain why mommys
not here, anymore
Because daddy likes porno
and $10 whores
Daddy gets wasted and robs
liquor stores
Daddy likes rubbing against
little boys on the bus
i think thats why your mommy left us
mommy left us...
hush little girl, there is
no reason to fret, not tonight
don't mind the smoke,
daddy just wants to forget
(exhales deeply) tonight
soon it will all be like it was before
any minute she will walk
through that front door...
but daddy plays poker
and drinks lots of beer
then he wants sex that invloves
mommy's rear
daddy has sores on his naughty
parts oozing with puss
I think thats why your mommy left us
Please don't cry, i swear i'll
try, to be here by your side
Right after daddy gets
home from the bar
visits his booky,
and steals a new car
he'll drive to the strip club
and if daddy plays his cards
right, he'll bring home your
new mommy tonight, li de di, li de di...
