DISC ONE:
01. all i really wanna say
is you're the reason i wanna stay
i loved you before i met you
and i met you just in time
'cause there was nothing left
[‘Don’t Change Your Plans’ - Ben Folds Five]
02. It's too late
Don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
[‘Late’ - Ben Folds]
03. The problem with you speech
You gave me was fine
I liked the theories about
My little stage
And I swore I was listening
But I started drifting
Around the part about me
Acting my age
And now if its all the same
I’ve people to entertain
I juggle one handed
Do some magic tricks and
The best imitation of myself
[‘Best Imitation of Myself’ - Ben Folds Five]
04. They told me son its time
To tell the truth
And she broke down and I broke
Down
cause I was tired of lying
[‘Brick’ - Ben Folds Five]
05. But they'll still look in your eyes
To find the human inside
You know there's always something in there to see
[‘There’s Always Someone Cool Than You’ - Ben Folds]
06. saw you last night
dance by the light of the moon
stars in your eyes
free from the life that you knew
[‘Magic’ - Ben Folds Five]
07. We thought he was gone
But he's shown up again
Last week it was funny
Now the joke's wearing thin
'Cause everyone knows now
That every night now
Will be Steven's last night in town
[‘Steven’s Last Night in Town’ - Ben Folds Five]
08. I wanna ask you -
Do you ever sit and wonder,
It's so strange
That we could be together for
So long, and never know, never care
What goes on in the other one's head?
[‘You Don’t Know Me’ - Ben Folds (feat. Regina Spektor)]
09. Do you not hear me anymore
I know its not your thing
To care
I know its cool to be so bored
But it sucks me in when you’re aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks it works
I guess its cool to be alone
[‘Battle of Who Could Care Less’ - Ben Folds Five]
10. Go ahead you can laugh
All you want
But I got my philosophy
Keeps my feet on the ground
[‘Philosophy’ - Ben Folds Five]
DISC TWO:
11. So why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
It's OK if you don't know everything
So why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
It's OK if you don't know everything
[‘Bastard’ - Ben Folds]
12. Maybe I should ditch this little white rental on the interstate,
start a new effing life in Effington.
I could change my name, grow a beard, start a family
or I could just keep on moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on....
and not stop 'til I get to Normal.
[‘Effington’ - Ben Folds]
13. Every couple nights or so y'know
You pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you
Like you got rid of me
Oh but I send my best
Cause God knows you've seen my worst
[‘Fair’ - Ben Folds Five]
14. I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
[‘The Luckiest’ - Ben Folds]
15. She's everything I want
She's everything I'm not
[‘Kate’ - Ben Folds Five]
16. She’s dear to me and so expensive
I’m not talking bout money
When money talks I hate to listen
But lately its been screaming in my ear
[‘Emaline’ - Ben Folds Five]
17. Often Sara would have spells where she lost time
She saw the future, she heard voices from inside
The kind of voices she would soon learn to deny
Because at home they got her smacked
[‘Zak and Sara’ - Ben Folds]
18. If you wrote me off I'd understand it
Because I've been on some other planet
So come pick me up...
I've landed
[‘Landed’ - Ben Folds]
19. They hold my hand and ask me to pull through
A voice I know says dear, he probably can’t hear you...
[‘Air’ - Ben Folds Five]
20. And you know the earth could turn
Or crash and burn
And you would never know it
[‘Adelaide’ - Ben Folds]
