You're
So Yesterday
I guess I met the devil but I sure didnt know no bette
You were kool as hell like email but still timeless like
a letter
As I sit and I stare at the Satanic Glare, on the glass
frame in front of your face
You're alone on my shelf, yelling "look at yourself!"
I feel like Bobby Brady breaking the vase
But now your're all screwed up
Chorus:
You're so yesterday
Miles away
Promised myself on New Years Day, I'd take a bath today
And wash you away
As all of your little blonde hairs go down the drain
Your sister called me yesterday to tell me Im a loser
well at least I havent lost my mind and at least Im not a
boozer
As I tried to heed to your wants and your needs
You were Solemnly lost in space
So Keep reading your books on how to give dirty looks
Everytime I should be put in my place
Now you're all screwed up
Chorus
I guess I met the devil but sure didnt know no better
You were kool as hell like email but still timeless like
a letter
Chorus
Freak
Of The Week
I spend a lot on all the clothes that I got
Cuz All the geeks that i meet they all look kooler than
me
What to do when they're all looking at you
Cuz you're the Freak of the week, cuz you're on the tv
Chorus:
Can you make me a promise
Stop it before we begin
Will you hold onto my head
If I ever lose it again
Ive got a shrink I swear hes Elvis I think
He wears the koolest suede shoes when I come in with the
blues
He thinks its all about culture and art but the truth of
it is that it rips me apart
Chorus
Break:
Tell me I sold out
Tell me I sould out go ahead
Until
You See
You traded all your tears so I could see a happy face
You sat alone and read the writing on the wall.
You broke your heartand banged your cool up as you fell
from grace
You should've hung the net before you took the fall
The lines are pretty long here but you'll stand here
anyway
Chorus:
Until you see this aint going over
Theres nothing left to show for
Til you see
Time aint gonna make up for the times youd never wakeup
for me
I watched you build a castle on the beach one rainy
day
I saw it fall apart and roll out with the tide
I think theres something metaphric that I'm trying to say
Open up your soap box and just crawl inside
The lights are on but no ones home
Stand there in the dark
Chorus
Write
It On Your Hand
Don't ask me..I just crawled in here on my hands and
knees
I cant see, from the fog on my glasses and sweating to
death from the heat
It's allright I've been shit on before, Ive had other
doors slammed in my face
But its cool I'll just go back to school, And learn how
to lie to you better
Chorus:
Let me write it on your hand
So you wont forget
Forget just what you had
Go and write it on your hand
13 rings, and i picked up my cell phone and you gave
me hell for awhile
About stupid things like hanging out with that guy, and
why the hell does he always smile
Its alright cuz my phone's outta range, aint it funny and
strange how you're fading away
I cant hear what you say
I guess you can write me a letter.
Chorus
Let
Me Go
Turn the TV off, put down the Cosmopolitan
I'd like to think that I'm not asking a lot
Oh my god this static is bad for my complexion
This town has turned you into something you are not
And every other day I hear another brother say
That I'm standing in line
Chorus:
Please, just let me go just let me go
And if its all over just tell me so just tell me
so
Please just let me go, and I wont be your shadow
anymore.
I passed the house last night, knowing it was my last
time
I'd see the the dent of anger kicked in your car
In the rearview mirror thoughts of sex crossed my
mind
Looks like the drama queen finally a star
And every other day i hear another brother saying
that
I'm crazy for lying to myself and you for trying
Chorus
You lost your mind, I lost my keys
Sometime last night, when I was on my knees
I miss the smile, that you traded for the cold piece of
armor
Wrapped around your heart
Chorus
Every
Monday
I was checked in by 4, put the sign on the door
Looked out the window of the 17th floor
Yelled to the city that knows me by name, and all
the bad things that I do
I shed 5 bitter tears into 5 bitter beers
Looked at my watch, and said "where have the
years gone? I'm wasting away like a castle Of clay, thats
slowly crumbling into"
Chorus:
Every Monday, I get this pain
Every Wednesday, it hits my brain
Every Friday I die cuz everyday
I still think of you
I was fucked up by 5 talking nothing but jive
Told the bar tender hed never take me alive
All of this because my favorite show was cancelled
last night on TV
So I called up Marie shed have sex for free
But for ten bucks an hour, she'd listen to me
Talk about rock stars and models on dope, and how
I cant cope with this scene
Chorus
Indie
Queen
She, dreams about, the girl she used to be
She, dreams about, someone else underneath the
sheets
Well you can fly off to London with a coke and a
smile
But give it 24 hrs. and 4000 miles and its
All just a day away from one less day to cry
Chorus:
How do you feel about that
How do you like it when they touch your face
And turn the page
Tell me just how you feel about that
She hangs around the strangest kings and queens
She gets around but it only gets her clean
Well all the after school specials of the days of
your life
All the anti drug commercials as you're high as a
kite
But its all just another day away from one less
day to cry
Chorus
Every once in a while, you should scream and let her
out into the light
Every once in a while you should tell yourself its
alright
#27
She got the number 27
Taken off her license plate.
Cuz that was my basketball number
Back when we started to date
And I know it's better to be unfaihful
To the people that you liked last year
Chorus:
You're still the same
You'll never change
Always a change
Your still the same
She's got a pretty mod CD collection in the glovebox
of her car
All the Blur and The Cure and Oasis cases
Tell me you get struck by stars
And I know its better to be unfaithful
To the things that you liked last year
Chorus
Break:
I can't run I can't hide, this aint no Marco Polo
You've gone and give and yourself away
And all this time I just thought I was crazy
Chorus
Mrs.
Jackson
I'll get the door Mrs. Jackson
I'll get the press and reporters too
I'll wait outside your heart
You're not a throw-away filmstar
There's something different about you
And I'll wait outside your heart
Chorus:
Cross my heart, I would die
Shove the needle in my eye
Be your sugar, I could try
Where's the papers, let me sign
All I want is to be wanted by you
How is your head Mrs. Jackson
How about a pain killer or two
I'll wait outside your heart
What in the hell are they saying
They'll never understand me or you
And I'll wait outside your garage, and your house, and
your restaurant
Chorus
Over
Your Head
Did you ever hear this one, about the one that got
away
It slipped right out the backdoor it was on the
news today
I was fishing for a hit song when you woke me out
of bed
Now I'm inspired and my brain is tired, and my
eyes are bloody red
Go ahead and eat your sucker I wont say a word
He gave you the castle, so you gave me the bird.
Chorus:
Everybody is grey (I'm turning blue)
Everything that I say (it's about you)
Don't take this wrong I hope your arms are long
Cuz you're gonna need it when I'm going over your
head
Hello, can I take your order? I've been waiting for
days
I'd like a little compassion with a side of
mayonaise
You never let the glue dry when you broke me into
And Im not some stupid little model car that you
can abuse
Go ahead and eat your sucker, I wont say a word
He gave you the castle so I'll give you the bird
Vampires
In Love
September 57, it was a really strange year
That's when I met heaven, and all the smoke came
clear
I didn't see it coming I was a very dumb kid
Nobody ever kissed me, quite like the way that you
did
And now you know that I suck at this, and you suck at
it too
And now we're nothing more than vampires in love
Chorus:
And i'm wide awake and you're wide awake
And I dont think that I'm getting tired at all.
This is the brightest sunlight, my shades will do me no
good
I ain't a morning person but I'd be one if I could
And cause of us I just stay up all night
And watch stupid movies till the TV is white
So we're nothing more than vampires in love
Chorus.
Lemonade
You walked into the bathroom, to wash your toubles
away
You always seem to go there about 20 times a day
I dropped you off at your therapist where you
walked across the street
To the neon lights with the purple door where you
passed out on your feet
Don't think I don't see it all, the beautiful high
and the sobering fall begin
It's a kick ass day wish you were here, send a
postcard telling me when you're hear again
Cuz I cant get through to you
Chorus:
There's a lot I could say, there's a lot I could
do
If I had it my way but I dont and you do
Makes me throw up to say, that I cared at all
I gave a lot and now Im shot
And shit like thats like sour lemonade
I tried to call your favorite bar but I got a drunk
Australian
He talked a million miles an hour but I can't tell
what hes saying
Something about a song by KISS and how they
watched you piss yourself away
As the glass goes crashing down to the floor, from
the phone booth I hear more delay
Cuz I can't get through to you
Chorus
