Now Helga

 
(Sung By Arnold to the White Stripes' "Now Mary")

 
Now Helga
Why do you feel the need
to put me down?
If you're sorry,
why'd you have to trick me
and push me on the ground?

Knowing you,
I think things are gonna be fine.
But then again,
you'll probably wreck my life.

I'm honest, Helga, when I say these things
and I don't care about any foul emotion they bring.
Why the teasin'
and the trickery without a reason?

Knowing you,
I think things are gonna be fine.
But then again,
you'll probably wreck my life.

Now Helga
I don't ever want to see
your face around.

Goodbye

(Sung by Arnold to Queen's "Sail Away Sweet Sister")

 
Seems like the times are changing.
Seems like the ocean shore
is here to wash happy endings,
they won't be around no more.
It's plain that she'll leave with no trace
before this day is done.
The night is looming over my face,
deplete from the shine of sun.

And all the times I told you
And I'll the times we meet
we'll never be like what might be
if you didn't have to leave.
My heart is always with you
no matter where you go
but goodbye won't be the ending,
just the start of another go.

Forgive me for how I acted.
My heart makes a fool of me.
I feel like I have been smacked dead.
Without you, I'm lost at sea.

And all the time we had spent
just to lead to this
will never amount to what could be.
In the midst of our turbulence,
you took the way they dealt it
and accept gainless change
with courage to face a new day.
Goodbye can't reach your name.

Lila, don't you know, you're young.
You got a lifetime ahead to do.
I can't be the obstacle stopping you.
See you soon.

And all the time we had spent
just to lead to this
will never amount to what could be.
I'm left to reminisce.
My heart is always with you
no matter where you go
but goodbye won't be the ending,
just the start of another go.

Frustrated (Stuck in A Swan Boat with You)
(Sung by Arnold and Helga to Stealer's Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You")

 
 
 
[Arnold]
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight.
I had the feeling that somethin' wasn't right.
Had to go so now I'm stuck on this ride
with a girl who just can't wait to topside.

Water on all sides of me, can't find a way out.
Here I am stuck in a swan boat with you.

[Helga]
I guess I'm stuck in a swan boat with you
and I don't know what the heck I should do.
It's so hard to put a smile on my face
when I sit here with a natural mistake.

Half of me says crimeny, the rest of me chokes
as I die stuck in a swan boat with you.

 
[Arnold]
Well, it's easy for you to say
when you're the one living sink or swim.
Why'd you have to ride here with me.
I just came to find a little
peace.
Peace.

 
[Helga]
Is that really how you feel about me?
Well, I guess I never meant to be mean.

 
[Arnold]
Right, Helga, that's your best excuse?

 
[Helga]
No, I mean it, I don't really hate you.

When there's pressure on the left of me, teasing on the right;
my only choice - start a squabble with you.

 
[Arnold]
Is that the best you can do?
I want off this boat ride with you.
Stuck in a swan boat with you.

Unbelievable
(Sung by Sid to Gorillaz' "Latin Simone")

 
Give up,
it's too open to hide.
This is bona fide.
All your life,
you hang around
acting like she has nothing for you
Now, I have proof.

Check this locket out,
there's some writing inside.
Helga's habits feed
off of your cries.
But in her heart,
she has it bad like she can't live the truth.
She loves you, dude.
Just admit she's crazy.
That she needs you daily.

Get up,
Helga's now walking by.
Maybe you should go up
and confront
this longing that makes her lonely.
What's the point
of staying here while she just walks on by
in this town.
Maybe you should marry.
You and Helga Pataki... (Laughing)

Inevitable

(Sung by Arnold and Helga to The White Stripes' "The Same Boy You've Always Known")

 
[Arnold]
You fell down of course
and then you got up of course
and thought it over.
You saw my face of course
then you started to swoon over.
Pretty tough to think about
when it's gonna be over.
Pretty tough to think about.
Pretty tough to think about.

Pretty tough to think about.

You're looking down again.
Don't let this be consuming.
I found you out again,
you shouldn't hide the real thing.
The same boy you've always known,
well, I guess I haven't grown.
The same boy you've always known.
The same boy you've always known.

The same boy you've always known.

Think of what the past did
and how it lasted.
It couldn't walk right past me.
I hope you didn't have plans
because this'll never go hand in hand.
Fun while it lasted

 
[Helga]
Arnold, it's not like you say.
I really have this yearning.
The coldest blue ocean water
couldn't stop my heart from burning.
I'm sorry you weren't in the know,
concealing with a show.
But if you don't want me to bug you again,
then I guess that's how it goes.

Helga's Breakdown

(Sung by Helga to Ben Folds Five's "Air")

 
Well, the time has come, he's knows all my secrets.
And the worse outcome has showed me no weakness.
When it all seems well, someone had to tell him
when I had it all on my side, it begins.

Never thought I'd hear such deep resentment
for adoring a kid I almost befriended.
Never in a million or so years I thought he'd see.
Now it all comes crashing down from jeopardy.

He doesn't even care.
He doesn't even care.

The poems and dreams have been for no reason.
The time has come for a changing of seasons.

He doesn't even care.
He doesn't even care.
He doesn't even care.
