Open
the Gate
Blue
in the Face
Total
Hate
Stricken
Greener
Pastures
By
the Way
Snakes
That's
Just Me
Squeal
Doghouse
I see you from the distance
From beyond the fence
you've made
Hiding all your feelings
Behind your barricade
Oh have you been invaded
Is this the reason why you hide
I know just how your feeling
I know- let me inside
Open the gate up
Open the gate up- hurry
Open the gate up- hurry
I want to get near you
But you just won't let me in
'Cause you're so scared of losing
Everything you've got within
Come on now you can trust me
Come on and open the door
I know how your feeling
I know- I've been there before
Open the gate up
Open the gate up - hurry
Open the gate up
Hurry hurry hurry hurry
And do it right now
Do it right now
Do it right now
Do it right now - hurry
Mmmm-do it right now- do
it right now
Do it right now-do it
right now
And do it right now- do it
right now
Do it right now- do it
right now
Hurry
Open the gate up
Open the gate up - hurry
Open the gate up
hurry hurry hurry hurry
Open the gate up- open the
gate up
Or I'm gonna knock the
damn door down
Open the gate up- open the
gate up
Or I'm gonna knock the
damn door down
Open the gate up- open the
gate up
Or I'm gonna knock the
damn door down
Open the gate up- open the
gate up
Or I'm gonna knock the
damn door down
Down

Just like a bee rushing to
a comb of honey
Why can't you see you look
so very funny
you worry yourself sick
till your blue in the face
Relax and sleep tomorrow
isn't leaving
And counting your sheep
won't relieve you from this grieving
You worry your self sick
till your blue in the face
But you'll make ends meet
I know you will so please pull up a chair
Take your time the world's
not going anywhere
Honey, you worry yourself
sick till your blue in the face
Blue in the face
'Cause your always in a hurry
Blue in the face
'Cause you always tend to worry
You're just like a honey
bee, you panic, you sting, then you die
It's just like you to fret
like you do
So take the afternoon and
maybe someday soon
You won't have to worry
yourself sick till your blue in the face
But you'll make ends meet
I know you will so please pull up a chair
Take your time the world's
not going anywhere
Honey, you worry yourself
sick till your blue in the face
Blue in the face
'Cause your always in a hurry
Blue in the face
'Cause you always tend to worry
You're just like a honey
bee, you panic, you sting, then you die
You're just like a honey
bee ZAP!...
Oh, when your in a state
of mind you call anxiety
And you'll find it very
necessary to pull out your hair
Don't be discouraged
Oh, honey have courage
Don't worry yourself sick
till your blue in the face
Like always you worry
yourself sick till your blue in the face
(E. Stefani)
You're livin' your life
without a care in the world
That's the way it should be
What's life like in a
candy swirl
What's life like to me
Everyone is slowing down,
Look once at life on the ground
You all are the people,
they're runnin' around
Not making a sound
Total hate! Total hate!
Total hate! Total hate!
You're movin' along, just
goin' your own way
Don't try to change
You're jumpin', you're
runnin', you learn to play
Never try to rearrange
You're getting tired and
starting to drag
Slowing down and that's sad
You're walkin' around,
you're being a skag
Huh - well that's not my bag
Total hate! Total hate!
Total hate! Total hate!
Total hate, Total hate
You're so fake, you make
me shake
Your faded face is so irate
You share with none, you
have no one
You're living your life in
total hate
Total hate! Total hate!
Total hate! Total hate!
Bo bo bo bo bo quandbass!
(J. Spence, C. Leal, G. Gonzalez)
Stricken
I love you completely
I guess I'm kinda mad
about you
I love you, I love you I do
Love overcomes all of my senses
Lowers all of my defenses, yeah
And all of your faults
vanish to a blind daze
Your bitterness erased by
my sense of taste
And harsh words are
deafened by love
I love you completely
I couldn't be madder about you
I love you, I love you I do
I love you completely
There's nothin' I see bad
about you
I love you, I love you I do
Love welcomes me to every
new day
The stars are all falling
down my way, yeah
And all of the planets are
lined in the sky
The lights are shining
down upon you and I
My world is stricken by love
Kiss me over and over
forever and ever my love
Kiss me all over and over
forever and ever my love
The love I have for you
Makes me blind I can't see
The love I have for you
Cuts my throat I can't speak
The love I have for you
makes me numb
I can't feel
The love I have for you
makes me numb
I can't feel
But boy, oh boy, oh boy
I love you
Completely, yeah
I love you, I love you - I
do do do do
(E. Stefani,T. Kanal, G.
Stefani, T. Dumont)
You're always telling me
to go out more
Go ahead, get out and see
the world
But then I think, why
should I
I'd rather stay home and cry
I never thought I could be
the other
The other way like the
other ones
Let me open wide, let you
see inside
And then you might agree
Would you say that they
find me unstable
'Cause they see me act a
little bit different
But I know my way to
greener pastures and
Think about it, won't you
think it over
Please
Without you I can move
I can stretch my arms out,
I can feel it
And when I'm in my room
alone I feel good
Because I don't have to
deal with you or the outside world
Would you say that they
find me unstable
'Cause they see me act a
little bit different
But I know my way to
greener pastures and
Think about it, won't you
think it over
Please
I guess I'll get over it
Ooh- I guess I'll get over it
I guess I'll get over it
I guess I'll get over it
Would you say that they
find me unstable
'Cause they see me act a
little bit different
But I know my way to
greener pastures
Would you say that they
find me unstable
'Cause they see me act a
little bit different
But I know my way to
greener pastures
Would you say that they
find me unstable
'Cause they see me act a
little bit different
But I know my way to
greener pastures
Would you say they find me unstable
Greener pastures
See me act a little bit different
But I know my way through
greener pastures
(T. Kanal, G. Stefani)
By the way
Every little thing about
her face
Fills him up
The image so pleasing it
could never be erased
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be
together all the time
By the way
She says things, the tone,
just to hear her voice
He can't explain
The sound so exciting to
him a perfect choice
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be
together all the time
A crazy independent
Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural
way of
Thinking carefree
And innocent she's
slightly sneaky
Confidently proud from
another country
Has her way, lives for today
By the way she's far away
By the way
Holding her, hugging her
can feel so warm
Just think about it
Two bodies embracing,
creating love in this form
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be
together all the time
A crazy independent
Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural
way of
Thinking crazy
Then she kissed him and
she went away
Far across to San
Francisco Bay
You'd think that she would
think again
And only want to be with him
Regardless of the things
that pull her far away
She's far away
A crazy independent
Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural
way of
Thinking crazy
By the way she's far away
And by the way she's far away
A crazy independent
Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
By the way she's far away
Oooh - far away - oh
A crazy independent
Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
By the way she's far away
(T. Dumont, G. Stefani)
Open the basket
Listen to the flute play
Open the basket
Listen to the flute play
Toot toot toot toot play
Snakes in the basket
Lie to lead you astray
Snakes in the basket
Force to make you betray
Your innermost truths hid away
Falling down to the underground
As you slither down to
your lair
Hidden in the many
trenches of a hopeless war
Those who were sold out by
a corporate board
Carry the casket
Never mind the gun spray
Bury the casket
Pawns in someone's gameplay
Shoot shoot shoot shoot obey
Subscription to the
spreading of lies
Soldier catches a glimpse
of his demise
Deep down inside even he knows
Snakes come in many shapes
and sizes
Snakes have no hands to be tied
Concoction of malicious lies
Deep inside the general despises
Himself... Listen to the
flute play
Another reptile in line
Snakes without grass
cannot hide
Falling down to the underground
As you slither down to
your lair
Forked tongues spread the
poison with a toxic sting
So much pain their
serpentine inhibitions bring
(T. Kanal, G. Stefani)
You think that I will change
But you know that will
never be
I'm just that way and
that's just me
Well it's just the way I am
And I am doing all I can
Why can't you see I just
can't change
Well I could care less
what you see
I'm just nevertheless here
for me
You're always getting what
you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never
getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for
your dream
That's just me
It doesn't matter what you say
'Cause my confidence will
lead the way
Words will never do, sad
but true
Well and if I didn't act
this way
Well it just wouldn't be
the same
That wouldn't do 'cause
I'm not you
I'm not you, no
And I could care less what
you see
I'm just nevertheless here
for me
You're always getting what
you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never
getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for
your dream
That's just me
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for
your dream
That's just me
That's just me - that's
just me
Well it's just the way I
am, I am no Larry or a Sam
Why can't you see, I'm
just that way
Well there it is, it's
right here, so crystal clear
Well there it is, it's
right here, so crystal clear in front of my face
You're always getting what
you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never
getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking
Eyes wide open, you still
keep looking
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for
your dream
That's just me
You're always getting what
you want
But you never get what you need
You want it
I guess you just, well
you're nevertheless
Just looking for your dream
A dream - you're looking
for your dream
You're looking for your dream
I could care less what you see
(E. Keyes, E. Stefani)
I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
So now that it is all out
How do you feel - did you profit
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that I could
trust you
Why'd you squeal
I thought we had agreed
That we were in this together
But now that you have
betrayed me
I got no other option
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that it was private
It's a tea party and
you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote
it and said it
You can always smell a
stinkin' tattletale
Come out of a shell I
think so they can break the link
When everyone knows it
squeals and that is just as well
A kiss of death goes out
to those who rat and fink
Why'd you squeal
But I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it - hey
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that I could
trust you
Why'd you squeal
It's a tea party and
you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote
it and said it
You dirty rat
I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
So now that it is all out
How do you feel - Did you profit
Well tell me all the gossip
Why'd you squeal
I hear the leaky faucet
It's a tea party and
you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote
it and said it
Kill the narc who wrote it
and said it
Who's the narc who wrote
it and said it
(E. Stefani)
Doghouse
Out to the doghouse with
you, that's what she said
You've been inside too
long now, I must clean the mess
Go into the backyard will
you and practice your tricks
Go take yourself for a
walk, you make me sick
You're just a doggy
In a snap you're fetching
the bone
And you're barking when
she calls
You're hiding behind the fence
You've been disobedient
Your fun and playfulness
is so very becoming
But she has got you by the
reins and there is no running
Conditioned to salivate at
the first sound of the bell
And feeding you the
remains of, of yesterday's meal
Can you hear her calling
from within the house?
Well you're just a doggy
In a snap you're fetching
the bone
And you're barking when
she calls
You're hiding behind the fence
You've been disobedient
Shape up boy!
Your fun and playfulness
is so very becoming
But she has got you by the
reins and there is no running
Conditioned to salivate at
the first sound of the bell
And feeding you the
remains of, of yesterday's meal
Can you hear her calling,
from within the house?
If you would stop barking,
she might let you out
At last she opened the
back gate
You're released, you're
now free to roam
You've been waiting for
this moment for sometime
And now you must go
Into the fields where
there is laughter
There is peace and you're comfortable
Try to hold on now before
she calls you home
Oh - you're in the
doghouse 'cause you're just a dog
You've been disobedient
and so you're going out behind the fence
You're in the doghouse and
you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse -
oh you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse
'cause you're just a dog
Oh little doggy - you're
just a dog
You're in the doghouse -
oh you little dog
You're in the doghouse -
oh you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse -
you dirty dog
(E. Stefani)
