Jerk's Theme Songs Click on the song title to hear the midi. These midi's were taken from Dan's Billy Joel Midi Page without his permission.. 'Cause my crummy e-mail won't work (or maybe it's his?), and I couldn't get a hold of him. Sigh. Please visit the page. It's great! A note: The songs are listed in chronological order. ;)


King of Wishfull Thinking
(Performed by Go West)

I don't need to fall at your feet
Just 'cause you cut me to the bone
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone
If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself..

I'll get over you.. I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
I am the king of wishful thinking

I refuse to give in to my blues
That's not how it's going to be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don't want to let you see.. no
That you have made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself..

I'll get over you.. I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'cause I'm the king of wishful thinking..
I'll get over you.. I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I will never, never shed a tear for you
I'll get over you

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself..

I'll get over you.. I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you.. I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
But I won't shed a tear for you
I'll be the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you..
I'll pretend my heart's still beating
'cause I've got no more tears for you
I'm the king of wishful thinking..
I'll get over you.. I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'cause I'm the king of wishful thinking


And So It Goes
Billy Joel

In every heart there is a room,
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past,
Until a new one comes along.

I spoke to you in cautious tones,
You answered me with no pretense.
And still I feel I said too much.
My silence is my self defense.

And every time I've held a rose,
It seems I only felt the thorns.
And so it goes, and so it goes,
And so will you soon I suppose...

But if my silence made you leave,
Then that would be my worst mistake.
So I will share this room with you,
And you can have this heart to break.

And this is why my eyes are closed.
It's just as well for all I've seen...
And so it goes, and so it goes,
And you're the only one who knows.

So I would choose to be with you...
That's if the choice were mine to make.
But you can make decisions too,
And you can have this heart to break.

And so it goes, and so it goes,
And you're the only one who knows...


If I Only Had The Words (To Tell You)
Billy Joel

If I only had the words to tell you
If you only had the time to understand
Though I know it wouldn't change your feelings
And I know you'll carry on the best you can.

If I only had the urge to tell you
If you only knew how hard it is to say
When the simple lines have all been taken
And the radio repeats them ev'ry day.

If I never find the song to sing you
If you always find it hard to comprehend
Well, you know there wouldn't be much meaning
If I had to sing those tired words again.

Life goes on and on
And tonight will soon be gone
But if we try we can be sure.

If I only had the words to tell you
If you only had the time to understand
But I only have these arms to hold you
And it's all that you can ask of any man.

If I only had the words to tell you
If you only had the time to understand
Oh, but I only have these arms to hold you
And it's all that you can ask of any man.


The Longest Time
Billy Joel

Oh, oh, oh, oh...
For the longest time.
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
For the longest time.

If you said goodbye to me tonight,
There would still be music left to write.
What else could I do?
I'm so inspired by you,
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone,
Now I know that happiness goes on.
That's where you found me,
When you put your arms around me.
I haven't been there for the longest time.

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall.
And the greatest miracle of all,
Is how I need you,
And how you needed me too.
That hasn't happened for the longest time.

Maybe this won't last very long,
But you feel so right,
and I could be wrong.
Maybe I've been hoping too hard,
But I've gone this far,
And it's more than I hoped for.

Who knows how much further we'll go on?
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone...
I'll take my chances...
I forgot how great romance is,
I haven't been there for the longest time.

I had second thoughts at the start.
I said to myself,
Hold on to your heart.
Now I know the woman that you are,
You're wonderful so far,
And it's more than I hoped for.

I don't care what consenquence it brings,
I have been a fool for lesser things.
I want you so bad.
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time...


She's Got A Way
Billy Joel

She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her

She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason
Anyway

She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me

She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know what it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin'
Anywhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around

She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'

She's got a light around her
And everywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her
Everywhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around

She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me

She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
Anyway


A Wink And A Smile
Marc Shaiman and Ramsey McLean (Performed by Harry Connick Jr.)

I remember the days
Of just keepin' time
Of hangin' around
In sleepy towns forever
Back roads empty for miles

Well you can't have a dream
And cut it to fit
But when I saw you I knew
We'd go together
Like a wink and a smile

Leave your old Jalopy
By the railroad track
We'll get a hip double dip
Tip-toppy to see Pontiac

So you can rev her up
Don't go slow
It's only green lights and all rights
Let's go together
With a wink and a smile

Give me a wink and a smile
We go together like a wink and a smile

Now my heart is music
Such a simple song
Sing it again, the notes never end
This is where I belong

Just the song in your voice
The light in your eyes
We're so far away from yestrday
Together with a wink and a smile
We go together like a wink and a smile
