The Lyrics:

(1) Get Back

I'm spinning out, I can't control my car
It doesn't matter who you think you might be you are
I misplace it and I don't know where it's at,
And I could find it but I'd never get it back...

Don't get it back,
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back

I'm running out, I don't know when to stop
I thought I'd wait till I saw the penny drop
It started raining, pennies falling in my lap
And I could spend it, but I'd never get it back

Don't get it back
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back

Don't get it back
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get it back. (x 3)
I'm spinning out, I can't control my car


(2) All hail me

Yeah
So sorry, lady,
So sorry now,
I've killed your baby,
I don't know how

So sorry, so sorry now,
So sorry, so sorry now

You-so sorry mister. (oh-oh, oh-oh)
But don't look now (oh-oh)
I've got your sister (oh-oh)
I shot her down

So sorry, so sorry now,
So sorry, so sorry now

'Cos I'm a bad man, I do what I can
I'm a bad man, I do what I can
I'm a bad man, I do what I can
All hail me

So sorry mother
I've let you down
I'm soaked in blood here
I can't get out

So sorry, so sorry now (x 3)
'Cos I'm a bad man, I do what I can
I'm a bad man, I do what I can
I'm a bad man, I do what I can
All hail me

Ha, ha, ha, all hail me
(oh, I'm melting)
(melt your baby)
(that did not hurt so bad....)


(3) Seether

Ow!
Seether is neither loose nor tight,
Seether is neither black nor white
I tried to keep her on a short leash,
I tried to calm her down
I tried to ram her into the ground, yeah

Can't fight the seether (x 3)
I can't see her 'till I'm foaming at the mouth

Seether is neither big nor small
Seether is the center of it all
I tried to rock her in my cradle,
I tried to knock her out,
I tried to cram her back in my mouth, yeah

Can't fight the seether ( Seether ) (x 3)
I can't see her 'till I'm foaming at the mouth

Keep her down, boiling water,
Keep her down, what a lovely daughter
Oh, she is not born like other girls,
But I know how to conceive her
Oh, she may not look like other girls,
But she's a snarl-toothed seether, seether!

Can't fight the seether ( Seether ) (x 3)
I can't see her 'till I'm foaming at the mouth
Seether
Can't fight the seether ( Seether ) (x 3)
I can't see her 'till I'm foaming at the mouth
Yeah


(4) Spiderman '79


You're so nice, you tie me in a web,
And cradle me 'till dawn
You're so deadly that I can see your breath
Beneath me when you're gone
You're so windy, I'd like to pin you down
And tack you to the wall,
Spiderman, Spiderman
Spider Sunday, you blaze up from the south
With oil on your hands
I'm streaked in grease and grime and idle mouths
You've spoiled all my plans,
Whoa, ho-oh
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
I can't take more of that (x 4)
Whoa, ho-oh, Whoa, ho-oh. Whoa, ho-oh. Ho-oh. (x 3)
Tiny truckstop, you lay me in a towel,
And savor me like a lamb
You smell of corduroy and lemon drops
And reds pulled from a can
I dream in black and white,
I've long forgot exactly, who I am, am,
A Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman, Oh man, Spiderman
Whoa, ho-oh, Whoa, ho-oh. Whoa, ho-ho. Ho-oh. Spiderman
Whoa, ho-oh, Whoa, ho-oh. Whoa, ho-oh. Ho-oh. Spiderman
Whoa, ho-oh, Whoa, ho-oh. Whoa, ho-oh. Ho-oh. Spiderman


(5) Forsythia

Yellow baby,
A yellow baby is a bad sign
But I don't mind, I don't mind,
Ohhh, Forsythia

Spider monkey,
A spider monkey is a good lie
But I don't know why,
Ohhh, Forsythia, oh-ohhh

I don't mind sitting in the way way back
I don't mind, lying to my friends

One thing about Forsythia,
She comes around and I get lost
Against her yellow, I'm no longer me

Yellow daisy, a dandelion or a pussy willow,
It's a different thing
Oh-oh, Forsythia. Forsythia. Forsythia
One thing about Forsythia,
She comes around and I get lost
Against her yellow I'm no longer me
One thing about Forsythia
There's one thing about Forsythia


(6) Wolf

That was a time for falling,
I knew you well
There was no time for calling,
Me when you fell
This is a time to take cover ,
In a wishing well
Summer was blowing all over me when you fell,
Sailors can take all the breathing
Out of the sail,
I took a trip when you needed me

When you fell,
Waters were driving me
To a deep place
I close my eyes to see,
Your sweet face,
A coke inside me,
I slept in hell

Angels can be so deceiving
When they love you well,
Did you think you would be leaving me?
These are some lavender flowers
In a broken shell
They comfort me ever since the day when you fell

When you fell,
Waters were dancing me
In a dark place,
I close my eyes to see
Your determined face,
My secret inside me
I slept in hell

This is a time for believing
In fairy tales,
One in which you are brought back to me
Wolf, I cried wolf
Wolf, I cried wolf
Wolf, I cried wolf


(7) Celebrate you

I wear my patent leather shoes,
And my golden fleeces,
A feather in my hair for you,
And then I fall to pieces

At your celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, Oh-oh) (x 2)
Celebrate you

We're quiet as two mannequins
Feasting on silences
We wait for Christmas to begin
To see the cracking faces
I tip my glass a toast to you,
The blood spills on the carpet

At your celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, Oh-oh) (x 2)
Celebrate you

And in the dream you held a gun,
You killed off all who hurt you,
And left me there the only one
Who would not dare desert you
I'm safe here growing in the shade,
Away from all the brightness
I lost my innocence today
When I learned how to write this

Tonight my nightgown is in knots
I toss and turn in your honor
I'll never know just what I've got
As long as you're my father
And I'll keep searching here for you,
I'll clean out every corner
It's not my fault
It's not my fault. (celebrate you) (x 3)
It's not my fault


(8) Fly

Twice bitten, twice baked
Twice led down the same mistake
Try me on a saturday, try me, try me

Fine fool for a holiday
Slow sun in a spanish way
One heart for one week of may, why me?, why me?

Twice given to yesterday
Right for a foray with fate
Fly me home to heaven's gate, fly me, fly me, fly

Twice bitten, twice baked
Twice led down the same mistake
Try me on a saturday, try me, try me
Try me, try me


(9) Number one blind

Be my blind
Be it all the time
Be it night or day,
Take my sun away, away

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning ?

Blind me please,
I am on my hands and knees
I can only pray,
Take my sun away, away

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning ?

It is time
It is time (oh-oh)
Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning ?
Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning ?
Levolor, Levolor, Levolor, Levolor...


(10) Victrola

You're so wonderful, I adore you,
I adore you, I adore you, Victrola

You're so audio, don't remove me,
To a movie, I am grooving, Victrola

Ahhh.... Happy New Year
Ahhh.... Happy New Year
Ahhh.... Happy New Year
Ahhh.... , Ahhh.... , Ahhh...
Ahhh.... Happy New Year , Ahhh...

You're my winter love,
I can lie here
With you so near ,
We both live here
Happy New Year,
You're my sweet dear
Victrola Victrola-ahhh-ahhh


(11) Twinstar

Flying, when all I want to do is die
Feels like your, flyin'
Oh God, I wish that I could, fly
You want to lift me up
But you don't know, and you don't see,
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways, oh

Breathing, when all I want to do is drown
You keep on breathing and I keep on sinking down, oh, oh
You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see,
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
I'm stuck in my ways, oh

You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see,
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
I'm stuck in my ways,
I'm stuck in my ways, oh


(12) 25

I'm afraid I will never change,
It's okay I'm not ashamed
I can say that my bed is made
You can bend me, shape me any way you can
Bend me, shape me any way you want me

I maintain, I am not in pain,
How I try, not to place the blame
I came late to an early game
You can bend me, shape me any way (x 3)
You can bend me, shape me any way you want me

When I was five, I took a dive,
When I was ten, I walked again
When I was fifteen, I kept my motor clean
When I was twenty, I got plenty
When I was twenty-five
When I was twenty-five


(13) Sleeping where I want

This is my favorite disease,
I am sleeping in his dreams
And the TV is on ,
It is seeping into me,
It is guiding my dreams,
It is only three
So it's jeopardy
You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to

This is my favorite time
I can sleep until the phone rings
And I doubt that it will
You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to
