Save Ferris--It Means Everything

THE WORLD IS NEW

I was sitting and awaiting
Just thinking, contemplating my life
   when I heard the phone
I picked up the receiver
And I did not believe her
When I heard a voice say you're not alone

When I am down and I am blue
All I have to do
is close my eyes and think of you
And the world is new.

Life was getting hectic
And things were unexpected
When I first received your call
But now it is the best thing
That filled up what was missing
And now my life is envied by all.


COME ON EILEEN

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono.
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them.
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever.
Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye and we can sing just like our fathers.

Come on Eileen, I swear (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything,
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen.

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces they're so resigned to what their fate is,
But not us, no not us we are far too young and clever.
Remember Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever.

Come on Eileen, I swear, what he means
Ah come on let's take off everything,
That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please.


NOBODY BUT ME

I was on the outside
trying to find my way back in
You were the answer
I was searching for, my friend
Life is crazy when you're 
always on your own
It's amazing when you
realize that you're not alone
I should have known
a long time ago that
You were the one for me
I let me ego bring me down
And that's what blinded me
Life is crazy when you
Don't know what you've done
And I'm a fool to think that
There could be
Someone else
When I know
There's no other one
I said baby
What are you doing
Who are you fooling
Nobody but me
I said baby
Give me some time
To change your mind
Come back to me
I was nothing before you
But I became so strong
When everything was going right
I had to make it wrong
Life is crazy
When you let things slip away
And now I'm sorry 
ever since the day
You went away
I didn't mean to hurt you so
I never wanted you to go
Now there's nothing I can do
I spend my time
Late at night
Thinking only, about you
I said baby
What are you doing
Who are you fooling
Nobody but me
I said baby
Give me some time
To change your mind
Come back to me
Ever since you went away
I haven't been the same
Now there's nothing that I can do
I was on the outside trying to find my way back in
And now I'm right back there again
Life is crazy when you
find you're all alone
But now maybe you can change your mind
And come back home to me
Come back to me
Oh baby won't you?
please come back.


GOODBYE

Deep in the heart of every man
Lies a hidden dream or plan
to be a millionaire
Life without a care
Hey cool cat
Does this apply to you?
Don't you lie
Cause you can't hide the truth
I can see what's behind those eyes
Tongue so twisted from tellin' lies
You might think you're strong
but you better not treat me wrong.
Or else I'll say so long.

Goodbye; I never wanna see you again
Goodbye; I don't wanna be your friend
So long, now we've reached the end
Time for me to turn that bend
When time has run away
And there's no need for me to stay
And lose myself to you
And be abused by you
I don't need the pain
from your mind games
When you try them again
I won't be there for them to work
Anymore
Ooh!

Now you're back and you're beggin' please
Crawlin' on your hands and knees
You thought you were a star
But now here you are!

Goodbye; I never wanna see you again
Goodbye; I don't wanna be your friend
So long, now we've reached the end
Time for me to turn that bend
When time has run away
And there's no need for me to stay
And lose myself to you
And be abused by you
I don't need the pain
from your mind games
When you try them again
I won't be there for them to work
Anymore


SUPERSPY
 
Just the other day
I was walking by myself
Little kids at play
Old man talking to himself
I went outside to get a drink
Sat down by the door to think
Out of the corner of my eye
Caught a glimpse of the superspy
When he saw me look his way
He jumped down that alley way

Then I saw that man
In his black suit and cadillac
Suckin' on a lollipop

Next night I went on a date
Runnin' to the movies late
I recognize that coat and hat
Puffin' on a cigarette
Cruisin' my house
Buggin' my phone
When will I be left alone?

Why's he followin' me?
Everywhere I go
Superspy blow

Then I saw that man
In his black suit and cadillac
Why's he following me?
Everywhere I go
Superspy I see
Whoa, I see
Whoa, I see


SORRY MY FRIEND

I wrote this song for you to say i'm sorry
I know that I was wrong and you don't like me
Why, why, why
Must you feel this way?
I wish I had the words
I needed to say

(chorus):
'Cause you and me
We disagree
On everything and everyone
I only want to be your friend again

I hear you're blaming me for all your problems
Well if you'd quit complaining you might solve 'em
I'll try hard to make amends
But both of us will have to try and give in

(repeat chorus)

I'm sorry for the things that turned out this way
I wish I knew the words I needed to say
But you and me we never seem to see eye to eye
But I'm sure that we can get along
If we try
If you want to you can just walk away
But I hope you know apologies
Are okay

(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)


LIES

Lies, to deceive
Tellin' lies, tellin' lies
I can't believe
Lies, to deceive
So many lies, so many lies
Why do we believe

I've done wrong
I've listened to the wrong advice
I saw something in you once
Now I see it ain't so nice
Trouble is, I believed in you
I was the one who was being fooled
But I won't let it be the same
I won't fall back into your little game of

Lies, that deceive
Your little lies, your little lies
I can't believe
Lies, won't retrieve
The love you lost, the love you lost
When you lost me

You filled my head with untruth
Made me believe that you were you
Fed me lines of make-believe
But this time it's you who'll see

Your lies, won't retrieve
The love you lost, the love you lost
When you lost me

When the situation occurred
You quickly hid behind your words
I opened up my eyes
And soon I realized
That it's too late, my love has turned to hate
And there's nothing left for you
And your lies
Why do we believe?


LITTLE DIFFERENCES

Something strange is happenin' lately
We no longer see eye to eye
Time has changed us, rearranged us
And it leaves me wondering why
Now everything is different
Nothing feels quite the same
All the things we liked
About each other have changed
I don't know about the things that you do
What happened to the person
That I thought I knew?

You go one way and I'll go another
When nothing seems to work
Then why should we bother
We've let these little differences
Tear us apart
They're breaking up our friendship
And they're breaking my heart
You need me and I need you
If only together we could see this through

(Chorus):
You go left
And I'll go right
Life is just one crazy battle
When we argue, fuss, and fight
You're like day
And I'm like night
But if we could get together
Maybe things could work out right
I can see so much in you
Why can't we just see this through
Why must everything
In this life be so complicated
But through all this pain
It's not you I blame
Why can't you feel the same

You're like day
And I'm like night
But if we could get together
Maybe things could work out right

(Chorus)

We'll try to make it right now
We'll try to make it right now


SPAM

(chorus):
Spam
It's pink and it's oval
Spam
I buy it at the Mobil
Spam
It's made in Chernobyl
Spam

Now when I was a child
My family was so poor
They didn't have the finer things in life to eat
So we had a plan
In a big blue can
The government substitute for meat

(repeat chorus)

To get me to eat it at dinner
They said I'd grow up like Bruce Jenner
He was a winner that never knew defeat
And when he got hungry
When he got hungry
He cracked open that special treat
It was

(repeat chorus)

S-P-A-M
Don't you know it's my best friend
S-P-A-M
Again and again and again

S-P-A-M
Don't you know it's my best friend
S-P-A-M
Again and again and again and again

So go and forget your O-S-C-A-R
There's one meat by-product that's best by far
It's

(repeat chorus)


UNDER 21
 
The other night I tried to go to a show
But the man at the door
He told me no
He said, "No one under 21 allowed"
But he must have been stupid 'cause I saw my friends in the crowd
He said, "You can't buy an alcoholic drink"
"So we don't care what you really think"

(chorus):
Why's this happened to me
And the show was for free
It sucks to be
Under 21

So I went and got myself a plan that would work
And I went on home and got a real short skirt
And I flirt my way right through that goddamn door
But once inside the music was no more
Well I guess I got there just a bit too late
I guess it's just my luck
It's just my fate

(repeat chorus)

I only want to have a little fun
But every time I try they tell me "You're not 21"


EVERYTHING I WANT TO BE

I find myself
I'm just awastin' my time away
No matter what I do
It always ends up the same
One minute moves
Into the next
My life was simple
But now it's complex
And it doesn't seem to mean anything at all
And everything I want to be
Is just another silly dream, you see
But I'll keep dreaming just the same

Sometimes it's hard to be me
When people stand in my way
I get so easily discouraged
Well, what can I say
They try to mess you up
They try to push you around
They'll do anything
To bring you down

I'm not gonna be
Stuck in mediocrity
When everybody's trying to bring me
Back down to reality
Oh, why can't they see
Just how much this means to me
Maybe one day I'll be special

Your dreams are special to you
But maybe others don't care
It brings you down
When you find them disregarded
And when you're out on your own
It's hard to make yourself stay
And finish up what it was
That you once started

I'm not gonna be
Taken down that easily
When everybody's trying to tell me
What I'm gonna have to be
Oh, why can't they see
Just how much this means to me
Maybe one day I'll be special
I'll be special

It means nothing
It means everything
It means something to me
What you tryin' to say
I'm not gonna play
In this little game
That you have created for me
You had your chance to do
What you needed to
And not it's time for me
To step right up and
Spin that wheel
This time's for real

It's not gonna work this time
Cuz in the end it's going to be mine
There's no need for me to stay
Cuz everything is gonna go
My way
My way, my way
My way
My way, my way, my way
