Lyrics

 


Coffee and TV-Blur

Do you feel like a chain store

Practically floored

One of many zeros

Kicked around bored

 

Your ears are full but our empty

Holding out your heart

To people who never really

Care how you are

 

So give me coffee and TV easily

I’ve seen so much, I going blind and braindead virtually socialability is hard enough for me

Take me away from this big bad world and agree to marry me so we can start over again

 

Do you go to the country

It is very far

There’s people there who will hurt you cos of who you are

 

You ears are full of their language there’s wisdom there you’re sure

Till the words start slurring

And you can’t find the door

 

So give me coffee and TV easily

I’ve seen so much, I’m going blind and braindead virtually socialability is hard enough for me

Take me away form this big bad world and agree to marry me, so we can start over again

 

Pure Imagination-Willy Wonka

Hold your breath

Make a wish

Count to three

Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination

Take a look and you’ll see into your imagination

We’ll begin with a spin traveling in the world of my creation

What we’ll see will defy explanation

If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world?

There’s nothing to it

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination

Living there you’ll be free if you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world?

There’s nothing to it

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination

Living there you’ll be free if you truly wish to be…

 

Slow Motion-Third Eye Blind

Miss Jones taught me English

But I think I just shot her son

‘Cause he owed me money,

With a bullet in the chest you cannot run

Now he’s bleeding in a vacant lot

The one in the summer where we use to smoke pot

I guess I didn’t mean it

But man, you should of seen it,

His chest explode

 

Slow motion, see me let go

What a brother knows?

Slow motion see me let go

 

Now the cops will get me

But girl, if you would let me

I’ll take your pants off

I got a little bit of blow

We can both get off

Later bathing in the afterglow

Two line of coke got caught with draino

And here nose starts to bleed

A most beautiful ruby red

 

Slow motion, see me let go

We’ll remember these days

Slow motion, see me let go

Urban life decay

Slow motion, see me let go

 

And at home

My sister’s eating paint chips again

Maybe that’s why she’s insane

I, shut the door to the moaning

And I shoot smack in my veins, would you?

See my neighbor beating his wife

There’s an arc to fist as he swings

Oh man, what a beautiful thing

 

And death slides close to me

Won’t grow up to be

A junkie wino-creep

 

Hollywood glamorized my wrath

I’m a young urban psychopath

I incite murder,

For your entertainment

‘Cause I needed the money

What’s your excuse?

The joke’s on you

 

Slow motion, see me let go

Oh, yeah

Slow motion, se me let go

 

Epiphany-Sweeney Todd

Why did I wait?

You told me to wait!

Now he’ll never come again!

 

There’s a hole in the world

Like a great black pit

And it’s filled with people

Who are filled with shit

And the vermin of the world

Inhabit it—

But not for long!

 

They all deserve to die!

Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett,

Tell you why:

Because in all of the whole human race, Mrs. Lovett,

There are two kinds of men and only two.

There’s one staying put

In his proper place

And one with his foot

In the other’s face—

Look at me, Mrs. Lovett.

Look at you!

 

No, we all deserve to die!

Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett

Tell you why:

Because the lives of the wicked should be—

(Slashes at the air)

Made brief

For the rest of us, death

Will be a relief—

We all deserve to die! (Keening)

And I’ll never see Johanna,

 

No, I’ll never hug my girl to me

Finished! (Turns on the audience)

All right! You sir,

How about a shave? (Slashes twice)

Come and visit

Your good friend--Sweeney--!

You sir, too, sir—

Welcome to the grave!

I will have vengeance,

I will have salivation!

 

Who, sir? You, sir?

No one’s in the chair—

Come on, come on,

Sweeney’s waiting

I want you bleeders!

You, sir—anybody!

Gentlemen, now don’t be shy!

Not one man, no,

Nor ten men,

Nor a hundred

Can assuage me—

I will have you!

 

And I will get him back

Even as she gloats

In the meantime I’ll practice

On less honorable throats (keening again)

And my Lucy lies in ashes

And I’ll never see my girl again,

But the work waits,

I’m alive at last (Exalted)

And I’m full of joy!

 

The Masterplan-Oasis

Take the time to make some sense

Of what you want to say

And cast your words to sway upon the waves

Bring them back with acquiesce

On a ship of hope today

And as they fall upon the shore

Tell them not fear no more

Sing it loud and sing it proud

And they

 

Will dance if they want to dance

Please brother take a chance

You know they’re gonna go

All we know is we don’t know

What is gonna be

Please brother let it be

Life on the other hand won’t let us understand

Why we’re all part of the masterplan

 

I’s not saying right to wrong

It’s up to us to make

The best of all the things that come have past

The answers in the looking glass

There’s four and twenty million doors

Down life’s endless corridor

Say it loud and sing it proud

And they

 

Will dance if they want to dance

Please brother take a chance

You know they’re wanna go

All we know is that we don’t know

What is gonna be

Please brother let it be

Life on the other hand won’t let you understand

Why we’re all part of the masterplan

 

In the Garage-Weezer

I’ve got the Dungeon Master’s Guide

I’ve got a twelve-sided die

I got Kitty Pride and Nightcrawler too, waiting for me, yes I do

I do

 

I’ve got posters on the wall

My favorite rock group Kiss

I got Ace Freely

I got Peter Chris, Waiting there for me, yes I do

I do

 

In the garage, I feel safe

No one cares about my ways

In the garage, where, I belong

No one hears me sing this song

In the garage

 

I got electric guitar

I play my stupid songs

I write these stupid words

And I love everyone waiting there for me, yes I do

I do

 

In the garage, I feel safe

No one cares about my ways

In the garage, where I belong, no one hears me sing this song

In the garage

In the garage

Arrah!

 

In the garage, I feel safe

No one cares about my ways

In the garage, where I belong, no one hears me sing this song

In the garage

In the garage

 

In the garage, I feel safe

No one laughs about my ways

In the garage, where I belong, no one hears,

No one hears me!

No one hears me, no one hears me!

No one hears me sing this song

 

He Thought of Cars-Blur

Moscow’s still red

The young man’s dead

Gone to heaven instead

The evening new says he was confused

The motorways will all merge soon

Lottery winner buys the moon

They’ve come to save us

The space invaders

 

He thought of cars

And where, where to find them

And who to drive them with

And there, there was no one, no one

 

There’s panic in London Heathrow

Everybody wants to go up into the blue

But there’s a ten-year queue

Columbia’s is into top gear

It shouldn’t snow at this time of year

Now America is shot gone

And done the lot

 

He thought of planes and where, where to fly to

And who to fly them with

And there was no one, no one

(La, la, la) [For awhile]

 

He thought of cars

And where, where to drive them

And who to drive them with

And there, there was no one, no one

 

Strawberry-Everclear

Never been here

Never coming back

Never want to think about the things that happen today

Want to lay down on the warm ground

I think I’m going to need a little time to myself

 

Don’t fall down now

You will never get up

Don’t fall down now

 

I asked you for a slow ride

Going nowhere

You look like Satan

You ask me if I want to get high

Couple of bags down old town

You tie your arm and

Ask me if I wanted to drive

 

Don’t fall down now

You will never get up

Don’t fall down now

 

Last thing I recall

I was in the air

I woke up in the street

Crawling with my strawberry burns

Ten long years in a straight line

They fall like water

Yes, I guess I fucked up again

 

Don’t fall down now

You will never get up

Don’t fall down now

 

Narcolepsy-Third Eye Blind

I’m on a train, but there’s no on at the helm

And there’s a demon in my brain starts to overwhelm

And there it goes, my last chance for peace

I lay me down, but I get no release

I try to keep awake

I try to swim beneath

But still I find this narcolepsy slides

Into another nightmare

And there’s a demon in my head who starts to play

A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday

And I hold my breath ‘till it’s more than I can take

And I close my eyes and dream that I’m awake

I try to keep awake

I try to keep awake

But still I find this Narcolepsy slides

Into another nightmare

I read dead Russian authors

Volumes at a time

I write everything down except what’s on my mind

Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound

And I know that I will never get back out

And there’s a bore in my hand that connects to a drink

In a crowded room where the glasses clink

And I’ll buy you a beer and we’ll drink it deep

Because that keeps me from falling asleep

How’d you like to be alone and drowning

How’d you like to be alone and drowning

How’d you like to be alone and drowning

Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide slides

Into another nightmare

Keep awake

Keep awake

Keep awake

Still I find this narcolepsy slides…

 

High School Dance-The Mighty Mighty Bostones

Hello world

Remember me?

I’m the sad little fuck

That you failed to see

Who you should have recognized

When you had the chance

Hello motherfuckers

It’s time to dance

 

Hello mom-dad

Is this a bad time?

If it is too bad

See the reason I’m

Disturbing you both

I’m settling scores

You fucked me up bad

This dance is yours

 

Hello student body

Hello faculty

Show of hands how many

Of you here have met me?

Not too many-who am I?

I’ll try not to keep you guessin’

I the fucked up dance instructor

And you’re here for your lesson

Dance Dance Dance

 

Hello world

Take a look at me

Now you didn’t when you should have

So I’m sure you agree

Not paying attention

Has cost you greatly

Some other little fucks

Having been dancing lately

Good-bye student body

So long faculty

 

Show of hands how many

Of you have met me?

Not to many-who am I?

I’ll try not to keep you guessin’

I’m the fucked up dance instructor

Hope you learned your lesson

Dance Dance Dance

 

You’re So Great-Blur

Sad, drunk, and poorly

Sleeping really late

Sad, drunk and poorly

Not feeling so great

Wandering lost in a town full of frowns

Sad, drunk and poorly

Dogs digging up the ground

 

And I feel the light

In the night and in the day

And I feel the light

When the sky’s just mud and gray

And I feel the light

When you tell me it’s ok

Cos you’re so great, and I love you

 

DT and coffee

Helps to start the day

DT and coffee

Shaking all the way

City’s alive and, surprise, so am I

Tea, tea, and coffee

Get no sleep today

 

And I feel the light

In the night and in the day

And I feel the light

When the sky’s just mud and gray

And I feel the light

When you tell me it’s ok

Cos you’re so great and I love you

 

Everything to Everyone-Everclear

You put yourself in stupid places

Yes, I think you know it’s true

Situations where it’s easy to look down on you

I think you like to be the victim

I think you like to be in pain

I think you make yourself the victim

Almost every single day

 

You do what you do

You say what you say

You try to be everything to everyone

You know all the right people

You play all the right games

You always try to be

Everything to everyone

 

Yeah you do it again

You always do it again

 

You say they taught you how to read and write

They taught you how to count

I say they taught you how to buy and sell

You own body by the pound

I think you like to be their simple toy

I think you love to play the clown

I think you are blind to the fact

That the hand you hold

Is the hand that holds you down

 

You do what you do

You say what you say

You try to be everything to everyone

You know all the right people

You play all the right games

You always try to be

Everything to everyone

 

Spin around and fall down

Do it again

You stumble and you fall

Yeah why won’t you ever learn

Spin around and fall down

Do it again

You stumble and you fall

I wonder if you will ever learn

 

Why won’t you ever learn?
