    Let's Get Back

    This is a very interesting situation
    I sense a gradual loss of communication
    Don't you think I can see
    You're changing on me
    You're heading into a completely new direction
    And I am having trouble making the adaptation
    Don't you think I can see you're changing on me

    Let's get back together
    Let's get back forever
    Let's get back together
    Let's get back
    Let's get back together
    Let's get back forever
    Let's get back together
    Let's get back

    If I may be so bold by making a suggestion
    Please ask yourself why you are making this transition
    Don't you think I can see, you're changing on me

    Every time I think of us
    I just want to make it how it was
    Before we had much more
    When I think of me and you
    I just can't believe that we are through
    I ignore the fact that you closed the door

    When I think back, we had a beautiful relationship
    But I see the future, what's there for me is devastation from you
    Don't you think I can see, you're changing on me

    Let's get back together
    Let's get back forever
    Let's get back together
    Let's get back
    Let's get back together
    Let's get back forever
    Let's get back together
    Let's get back

    Every time I think of us
    I just want to make it how it was
    Ah, before we had much more
    When I think of me and you
    I just can't believe that we are through
    I can’t ignore the fact that you closed the door

    =Trumpet Solo=
    =Guitar Solo=

    Don't you think I can see
    Don't you think I can see, yeah
    Don't you think I can see
    You're changing on me

    (Let’s get back, let’s get back...)

    Get on back, get on back
    Get on back, get on back
    Get on back, get on back
    Get on back, get on back
    Get on back, get on back
    Get on back, get on back
    Ooh, I wanna get back!

    Ache

    Woke up this morning and felt no too cool, ooh ooh ooh ooh
    'Cause every time I tried to make my mouth move, ooh ooh ooh ooh
    The pain I'm having
    Is so discomforting
    Please make this suffering go away

    Woah woah woah woah,
    I told my mom what I was feeling
    And how long I've been dealing with it
    I knew it was coming,
    But didn't know how soon
    She said I've reached another adolescent monsoon

    OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
    Why can't I take it like a man
    OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
    Why don't you lend a helpin' hand

    He was a well-educated man,
    Had his degree in medicine
    I noticed his hairy hands...
    He was a very, very hairy man
    He looked right down in,
    Shook his head and then said
    "These teeth must be pulled right away!"

    OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
    Why can't I take it like a man
    OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
    Why can't you lend a helpin' hand
    OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
    Why can't I take it like a man
    OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
    Why can't you lend a helpin' hand

    He turned around,
    Rolled up his sleeve
    I rolled my eyes and suddenly
    A horrible pain grew, the next thing that I knew
    The doc had pulled my wisdom teeth...OUT!

    Well along with my teeth my money also left me
    As he made out the bill, I was moaning
    Oooo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
    Where the hell is my prescription
    Of codeine?

    =Sax Solo=

    Ooh, but when will I speak, how long until
    My mouth
    Feels natural?
    How long will they bleed, when will heal?
    Where’s a real meal?

    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?

    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?

    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?

    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?
    How do you feel?

    I feel good
    I feel great
    There’s no pain
    There’s no ache
    I feel good
    I feel great
    Just let me recuperate

    I feel good
    I feel great
    There’s no pain
    There’s no ache
    I feel good
    I feel great
    Just let me recuperate-ate-ate-ate

    Because the codeine
    Has left me drowsy,
    Leave me be
    Just let me sleep!

    move on

    Some chickens crossed the road,
    Straying far from the hen
    Five reached the side one step below Zen
    One was a female, four were mad-men
    Who moved on, moved on, moved on
    Joined hands and moved on

    Standing in line and falling asleep
    Building a fence while we're counting the sheep
    We'd let you help out but our projects are too deep
    Move on, move on, move on
    Stay awake, just move on

    You have to understand that when it comes to making music
    We meshed the styles of five alive and intertwined and fused it
    Life comes from life and through our strife we strove to make the sound true
    Compelled to spell it out, (No Doubt!) in search of what we must do

    Our house was to small so we had to move
    The neighbours had much doubts so we had to prove
    That our soulful dimensions were true to the groove
    We, moved on, moved on, moved on
    To our house in the middle of our street

    Water the music, plant the seeds in the pot
    Music is life flowing through... is it not?
    Don't forget your roots, but also don't rot
    Move on, move on, move on
    Plant the seeds and move on

    You have to understand that when it comes to making music
    We meshed the styles of five alive and intertwined and fused it
    Life comes from life and through our strife we strove to make the sound true

    sad for me

    Please Miss Fried
    He don't mean to be mean
    He just needs to leave
    He hopes he does not
    Cause you inconvenience
    Why can't you see?

    He says, "please don't be sad for me"

    Oh Miss Fried
    Please believe you're his queen
    He must fight for his dreams
    Lovely Miss Fried
    He will too miss you
    He just needs to be free

    He says, "If I should ever cause you to
    bleed... don't pretend to be naive"

    Don’t be naive

    Don't take him wrong, let him be
    Sometimes he feels like he ought to be alone-lone
    Don't take him wrong, let him be
    Sometimes he feels like he ought to be alone-lone

    trapped in a box

    Trapped in a box of tremendous size
    It distorts my vision, it closes my eyes
    Attracts filthy flies and pollutes in the skies
    And sucks up our lives and proliferates lies

    Trapped in a box

    Trapped in a box, four walls as sky
    Got a screen for a window about two feet wide
    My mind rides and slides as my circuits are fried
    No room for thought, use the box as my guide
    Trapped in a box

    Ooh, trapped in a box
    Watch the
    World as it flocks
    To life's
    Paradox
    We're all
    Trapped in a box

    Trapped in a box I'm not alone
    I know of others with a box as their home
    Light only enters from a crack or a hole
    This is not enough for a human to grow
    Trapped in a box

    Ooh, trapped in a box
    Watch the
    World as it flocks
    To life's
    Paradox

    =Guitar Solo=

    Always wanting a different view
    Instant gratification for you
    Reality gone with a single click
    I just hope that that switch won't stick

    Trapped in a box my life becomes void
    And all I thought for myself is now destroyed
    Controlling my mind, what to eat, what to buy
    Subliminal rules: how to live, how to die
    Trapped in a box

    Ooh, trapped in a box
    Watch the
    World as it flocks
    To life's

    sometimes

    Sometimes sunshine
    Does not want to shine on me
    And sometimes I find myself blind
    At first I cannot see
    And then I see it's me

    I chose a road when I was young
    In search of fun temptation won
    And all my soul I did surrender
    If I had a chance to go back now
    Would I redeem my moral vows
    Or would I repeat for my own laughter

    Sometimes I hide somewhat
    Like a bulb behind a shade
    And sometimes I ask myself why
    Is it cause the lights are too bright
    Or because my eyes are closed too tight

    Sometimes I find myself blind
    Don't use my brain don't use my mind
    Distorted feelings always leading my way
    But I must forgive myself
    And let the past lay down to rest
    And I’ll be prepared to face myself in another day, hey!

    From now on I will behave
    But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved
    From now on I will behave

    Paulina - Well I stare at her pictures all day long
    Paulina - And as I do I sing this song
    Paulina - My father says to act my age
    Paulina - As I single handily turn the page

    Paulina - Well I paste her pictures on the wall
    Paulina - Sit by the phone and hope she'll call
    Paulina - Although I know she never will
    Paulina - To indulge myself is such a thrill

    Paulina - She's the big red apple of my eye

    And then you wake up
    The sun's on your face
    You're stretchin' while you're sayin'
    It's a Brand New Day!

    It's a brand new day and the sky is clear
    So let's come together, everybody cheer
    Come out people from everywhere
    Let's see your faces, the day we'll share
    Come on and celebrate a Brand New Day
    Everyday!

    Call out to the workers and the children in the schools
    It's a day of celebration so put down your tools
    And celebrate a Brand New Day
    Everyday!

    Oh come see the mountains and come see the shores
    Mother nature is calling so climb aboard
    And celebrate a Brand New Day
    Everyday!

    Let’s go

    At the end of the day there is no doubt you are worn out
    Ooh, but then you do dream of wonderful things
    Wonderful things you might do,

    And then you wake up
    The sun’s on your face
    You’re stretchin’ while you’re sayin’
    It’s a Brand New Day!

    Celebrate a Brand New Day
    Everyday!
    Celebrate a Brand New Day
    Everyday!
