Danny Elfman

You wore out your welcome mat
You used to be the cat's meow
You're in the doghouse now
You're such a handsome hound
You'll wind up in the pound
All you can say is bow-wow-wow
You're in the doghouse now
It was grand,
yes, it was swell,
But you bit the hand
That fed you so well
I hate a dog who begs
With his tail between his legs
Find a new place to bum your chow
Who's in the doghouse now?


On the town,
Out on the trail,
Don't come 'round
Go chase your own tail
I heard from Socrates,
"Sleep with dog,
Wake up with fleas."
I never liked you anyhow
You're in the doghouse now
You're in the doghouse now
You're in the doghouse now
Down, boy.

There is a place
Underneath the staircase
Where I keep the evidence
Of what once would offer peace
In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride
Should I pick the locks?
Should I peek inside?
Can I stand the sight of those happy days?
Should I strike a match, burn them all away?

Cos you stole my bell
And you broke my chime
And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x2)

So here we are
But it's not quite like we thought
Those things were priceless then
Now I know they can't be bought
In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin
Should I lift the lid?
Should I look within?
Was it my last chance or my first mistake?
Is it just a step that we'll never take?

Cos you stole my bell
And you broke my chime
And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x3)

Angels
Smiling on my happiness
Danger
'Cause the scene is still a mess
( We can all be blast )
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Spacecraft
Spinning slowly out of sight
Peace man
Keep on chasing the wrong guy
( We'll see eye to eye )
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window

She laughs like a child
One who can't understand
Why she lives her whole life
With her head in her hands
And she's always in pain
That's what makes her
So wonderfully strange

She laughs like a child
One who likes to pretend
That she lives for today
Though she prays for the end
And she's never the same
That's what makes her
So wonderfully strange

She's so up and down
Like the sun and the earth
And she swears, and she swears
She remembers the day
Of he birth
That's the day she became
So wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange

It may take some time
To digest what she said
Or begin to hear the
Symphony playin' in her head
It's the place were she lives
She's so wonderfully strange

She's so up and down
Like the sun and the earth
And she swears, and she swears
She remembers the day
Of her birth
That's the day she became
So wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully...

She lives in the dark
Like a tired little girl
She begs to be loved
But she hates to be lonely
Such a tragic fantasy

She laughs like a child
One who likes to pretend
That she lives for today
Though she prays for the end
And she's never the same
That's what makes her
So wonderfully strange

She's so up and down
Like the sun and the earth
And she swears, and she swears
She remembers the day
Of her birth
That's the day she became
So wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, so wonderfully...

[Fades to End]
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange

With these hands, I will cling to you,
I'm yours forever and a day.
With these hands, I will bring to you,
A tender love as warm as May.
With this heart I will sing to you,
Long after stars have lost their glow,
And with these hands, I'll provide for you,
Should there be a stormy sea,
I'll turn the tide for you,
And I'll never,
No, I'll never let you go.

We were on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

And I wanna fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you

World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
With you

No I...
Nobody loves no one

i would love to be better
i would love to be free
i would love to be perfect
when you look at me
but instead i'm still crying
yes instead i'm still lying
sad to say i'm still trying
not to be me
when i see all the weakness
that i turned into sickness
i still think i can slide
just fine on the ice
it's not easy to be honest
sometimes i'm just astonished
how hard it can be to be true


CHORUS:
why do i lie?
is it just to get by
if i give up my lines
will i die?
if fortunes are favored
then i am in labor
and i'm trying so hard
to leave lying behind


i don't want to be hazy
i don't think that i'm crazy
but i've had some moments
where i am not sure
and if you can forgive me
for just being human
then i will try harder
to keep my words pure


i could be on the border
it could be a disorder
honestly i think
that i can come clean
and all of my stories might even be boring
if i can tell you
what they all mean


CHORUS

[Chorus:]
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me

If I know she's worried
Oh I would feel that same old misery
We've been through so much together
We spoke as one and that's what makes it better

[Chorus:]

Oh and just what just what she means to me now
Oh you just oh you just wouldn't understand
And the people say oh they say she's no good
Oh but she's my woman and don't you know
I'm her man
If she's got a problem oh yeah yeah
Oh I know I'm gonna have to help her solve it

[Chorus:]

If she's got a problem oh I know
I'm gonna help her
You know I'm gonna have
To help her somehow

[Chorus:]

Oh sing it again
When something is wrong with my baby
Oh sure now
When something is wrong with my baby oh
Then something is wrong with me

Won't decide
But he won't debate
Said, "Thanks my friend"
But he was too late
Oh why, oh why
I don't know
So you think things move
Pretty fast down here
Well just wait my dear
Till you look up there
Oh maybe someday
You'll know

Had his second kid,
Was an early night
Got to be well dressed
'Cause he hates to fly
Oh loves his job
Takes it home

Anything they wanted
They could have it, have it
Didn't even notice
I don't mind it, mind it

Won't decide
But he won't debate
Said, "Thanks my friend
Thought that we was dead"
Oh why, oh why
I don't know

Think things move
Pretty fast down here
But just wait my dear
Till we get up there
Oh maybe someday
They'll know

Come on tell me
Does she wander
Roam when he comes
Or does he just know
How to leave
When it gets cold

Well I don't care
I don't care
'Cause it's free

What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere... What's this?
There's white things in the air... What's this?
I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming,
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair... What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong... What's this?
There're people singing songs... What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing,
Everybody seems so happy,
Have I possibly gone daffy...?
What is this...? What's this?

There're children throwing snowballs
Here instead of throwing heads.
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead.

There's frost on every window,
Oh, I can't believe my eyes,
And in my bones I feel a warmth
That's coming from inside...

Oh, look, what's this?
They're hanging mistletoe... They kiss --
Why that looks so unique... Inspired!
They're gathering around to hear a story,
Roasting chestnuts on a fire... What's this?

What's this? In here
They've got a little tree... how queer!
And who would ever think... and why?
They're covering it with
Tiny little things, they've got
Electric lights on strings, and there's a
Smile on everyone, so now
Correct me if I'm wrong...
This looks like fun,
This looks like fun,
Oh, could it be I got my wish...? What's this?

Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep... But look --
There's nothing underneath... No ghouls
No witches here to scream and scare them
... or ensnare them...
Only cozy little things
Secure inside their dreamland... What's this?

The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around...

Instead of screams I swear I can hear
Music in the air.
The smell of cakes and pies
Is absolutely everywhere...

The sights, the sounds,
They're everywhere and all around...
I've never felt so good before...
The empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough.
I want it, oh, I want it...
Oh, I want it for my own.
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?

WHAT IS THIS???

.... Christmastown? Hmmmmmmmm.

What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this? What's this?

Roasting chestnuts on a fire

In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?

They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?

Oh my, what now?

What We're All About by Sum 41
Nevertheless am I dressed for the occasion
It’s number 32 now here’s the situation
If the beat moves your feet then don’t change the station
Pack your bags cause we’re leaving on a permanent vacation
Well, I’m a disaster A microphone master
Put on your tape and rock your ghetto blaster
It’s not about the money, cars, hotels, or resorts
About sweating all the bitches in the biker shorts
I’m Dave Brown Sound and you see me running late
Cause I’m always making time to make your girlie feel great
And I’m Bizzy D from way down town I’m known to rock a mic
like a king was a crown
When I’m on top I’m gonna borrow that bootie
Hustling deals like Mickey Macooty
When I wake up I like a pound of bacon Start off the day
with my arteries shaking
(Chorus) Rock! It's what we're all about It's what we live
for C'mon shout it out
Well I bring down the house in every city we play
Just from pickin' up the mic' in a usual way
We rock and talk with a bass that's funny
We could even tear it up at a grade school party
Well I can keep the beat but I can't break dance
It's hard to look cool in crazy pants
But I wear 'em anyway even when they look whack
It's my personal way to bring the 80's back
Gave up the life of servin' burger and fries
High cholesterol gettin' grease in my eyes
I was drinkin' underage I belong on stage Hello rock 'n'
roll goodbye minimum wage
I'm teachin' you a lesson in mic' control
Makin' rhymes with my letters in my cereal bowl
Lucky number seven every dice I roll
Sum 41 to the power as the boob patrol
Chorus & Guitar Solo
Well let's avoid confusion by makin' one thing clear
The rock we're bringin' is gonna instill fear
And the power we control should be revered We sold our soul
to Satan two times last year
Take a look to the point, to the point I'm makin' We
rock............stone cold bakin' <-----(Beastie
Boys)
And we get outta hand and bust up the room JD is to blame
for the Legion of Doom
'Cause I'm the B-I double Z-Y
You ain't better than me, I ain't your average guy
I like to watch girls shake with a kung fu grip
Well the goon platoon is on the flavor trip
We beat down London, slayed LA Got an APB on the jams we
play So when you're on the stage cold
grabbin' your c*ck
We release something the new kings of rock

LOST IN TIME I CAN`T COUNT THE WORDS
(I) SAID WHEN I THOUGHT THEY WENT UNHEARD
ALL OF THOSE HARSH THOUGHTS SO UNKIND
`COS I WANTED YOU

(AND) NOW I SIT HERE I`M ALL ALONE
SO HERE SITS A FUCKING MESS, TEARS FLY HOME
A CIRCLE OF ANGELS, DEEP IN WAR
`COS I WANTED YOU

WEAK AS I AM, NO TEARS FOR YOU
WEAK AS I AM, NO TEARS FOR YOU
DEEP AS I AM, I`M NO ONES FOOL
WEAK AS I AM

AND WHAT AM I NOW BUT LOVES LAST HOME
I`M ALL OF THE SOFT WORDS I ONCE OWNED
IF I OPENED MY HEART, THERE`D BE NO SPACE FOR AIR
`COS I WANTED YOU

WITH THIS TAINTED SOUL
IN THIS WEAK YOUNG HEART
AM I TOO MUCH FOR YOU

We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town
And let what others say come true?
We're just good for nothing they all figure

A boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Or is that really where it's at?
We people who are darker than blue

This ain't no time for segregatin'
I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two
High yellow girl, can't you tell
You're just the surface of our dark deep well

If your mind could really see
You'd know your color the same as me
Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story

Get yourself together, learn to know your side
Shall we commit our own genocide
Before you check out your mind?

I know we've all got problems
That's why I'm here to say
Keep peace with me and I with you
Let me love in my own way

Now I know we have great respect
For the sister, and mother it's even better yet
But there's the joker in the street

Loving one brother and killing the other
When the time comes and we are really free
There'll be no brothers left you see

We people who are darker than blue
Don't let us hang around this town
And let what others say come true

We're just good for nothing they all figure
A boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Or is that really where it's at?

Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story
Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way
But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an
An even brighter day

Uhh, whatchu wanna do? SoSoDef
You wanna get down? (ah get down, get down)
Whatchu wanna do? (ah get down, get down)
Said you wanna get down? (We got Snoop Dogg, in the house tonight)
Whatchu wanna do? (with the homeboy JD)
You wanna get down? (ah get down, get down)
Whatchu wanna do? (ahh ha ha)
Yeah, now check this out

Now, everywhere I go
they wanna see Don-Che-Che-O
Yes obsessed with SoSo all my dough
How the jewelry glow and the Cristi' flow
Ain't no secret I sleep with freaky
premium bush when I push they push
And after we push I leave her
Cause I don't love her

[Snoop Doggy Dogg]
Ha ha, and me neither
A-B-C-D-P-G-C
Who could it be, it's the D-O-double-G
Known for the bone and the chrome on the D's
Gold credit card backyard full of green trees (what?)
Breeze through the summer in a Hummer wit tint
Or dip in the low-low but that's just for promo
Never leave me alone, without the dough doe
I'm SoSo cold but y'all didn't know doe

Chorus: Jermaine Dupri

Whatchu wanna do? Said you wanna get down? (repeat 4X)
3X: singer starts singing "get down on it" 2X
and Snoop says 'we have Snoop Dogg in the house tonight
with the homeboy JD'
4X: singers sings "get down on it, cause we just wanna party with you"
and Snoop says 'ah get down, since you wanna get down'

[Snoop Doggy Dogg]
To be a high roller, you need a pistola
And about a half a key of some Coca-Cola
Now that I got older, I got a little colder
And I don't trip to get a chip off my [nigga's] shoulder
Mad dreams, of a gangsta being like Cagney
or Bogey but Snoop Doggy
Ain't no follower, man I'ma General
So when I put it down I gots to be so original
I'm quick to bust just like Daz Dillinger
But that's the little homey and I'm the big homey Snoop Don Corleone
Spittin it, hittin it, while I'm gettin that
Bout it, bout it, and happy to shout out, mmm
I dissapear 'fore the game get crowded
Take a trip overseas to the West Indies, freeze
JD (uh-huh), music please

[Jermaine Dupri]
I get goosebumps when the bassline thumps
So fat, call me Professor Clump
Ain't nuttin on the low about me I floss
And no there's none of these [hoes] son what I toss
On the track better bring chips cause I cost
Million dollar company [fuck it] I'm the boss
I don't sit back and watch I go for it
Different colored drops on the car port, who's short?

Chorus

[Snoop Doggy Dogg]
Khakis on my leg, Lugz on my feet
I'm walkin up the street while boppin my feet
I'm fresh off the bus from Memphis, Tennessee
Head still spinnin from the Coke and Hennesee
Sit down on it, nah, get down on it
It really don't matter cause you want it, Dogg-gonit
Cuz, you must was buzzed
When you was bumpin your gums, who you thought I was?
But look, I ain't even trippin right now
It's like that there, bow, wow
So many styles I could flip em like a file
Pop my drop top and let the beat rock
Dip through, course you do, miss you
But back to the issue, I wish you
stop tryin to clown the Pid-ound
Cause you don't really wanna get down

Chorus

[singer]
All we wanna do is make you dance
No standing on the wall
[JD] Get your back up off the wall, c'mon
All we wanna do is make you dance
No standing on the wall
[JD] Get your back up off the wall
Cause I heard all my [niggaz say
You know it

Do I wanna dance? I'ma make your dance
Do y'all wanna move? I'ma make you move...

See the devil on the doorstep now
My oh my
Telling everybody, oh just how to live their lives
Sliding down the information highway
Buying in just like a bunch of fools
Time is ticking and we can't go back
My oh my

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We've never been so many
And we've never been ..
So Alone

Keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sence
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands
You come out clean
But fail to recognize the enemy's within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
We are

One step forward, making two steps back
My oh my
Riding piggy on the bad boys back
For life
Lining up for the grand illusion
No answers for no questions asked
Lining up for the execution
Without knowing why

Keep watching from your picket fence ..

It's all about power, bout taking control
Breaking the will, and raping the soul
They suck us dry 'til there's nothing left
My oh my My oh my

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We've never been so many
And we've never been ..
So Alone

Keep watching from your picket fence ..

It's all about power, bout taking control
Breaking the will, and raping the soul
They suck us dry 'til there's nothing left
My oh my

It's all about power, bout taking control

Carve your rights into your arm
So they won't get taken away
Trying in vain to figure it out
Always thinking this is a waste
Build it up high
The further to fall
Right down on you
Wasting away
Suffer more, suffer still
Found release locked away
No values anymore?
Nowhere to turn, wasted away

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by don't stop
And walk on by don't stop
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken in two
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by don't stop

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by don't stop
And walk on by don't stop
And walk by don't stop

Turn out the lights and close the door
Girl I've been waiting for you long.
We don't need to pretend anymore
Let's stop wasting time
come here out on the floor.
Girl I'll be so gentle with you
I'll take my time, get you in the mood baby
And anything, girl you want done.
I'll do it for you baby
So don't you run.
Girl I'm still waiting
Waiting for love
Anticipating, you're all I think of
Girl I'm still waiting
Waiting for love.
Anxiously, patiently waiting for love.
Don't you deny what you feel inside
You've wanted to be with me all of this time.
I can see the passion in your eyes (eyes)
You purposely sigh every time that I try.
Baby you're for me and I got what you need.
Girl, don't you worry
Your love I will keep babe
Girl just relax and let your feelings go.
We'll take our time baby
So don't you run.
Girl I'm still waiting
Waiting for love
Anticipating, you're all I think of
Girl I'm still waiting
Waiting for love.
Anxiously, patiently waiting for love.
Baby don't you know the way
I feel for you inside
Don't you know the way
you make me feel inside
Don't you try and don't deny
you know the feeling's right
Baby don't you know the way
I feel for you inside
Relax and let your feelings go
Don't you try and don't deny
the feeling's right.
Girl I'm still waiting
Waiting for love
Anticipating, you're all I think of
Girl I'm still waiting

Work! Work!
Yeah! (yeah)
Work! (yeah)

Listen close, and listen hard, the tale of Violet Beauregarde.
The gentle girl she sees no wrong...

In chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long.

Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.

Yeah!
(Oompa-Loompa! Oompa-Loompa! Oompa-Loompa! Oompa Loompa! Oompa-Loompa! Oompa-Loompa!)
Yeah!

She goes on chewing till at last, her chewing muscles grow so vast.
And from her face her giant chin, sticks out just like a violin...

Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.

(Oompa-Loompa! Oompa-Loompa! Oompa-Loompa! Oompa-Loompa!)

For years and years she chews away, her jaws get stronger every day.
And with one great tremendous chew, they bite the poor girl's tongue in two.
And that is why we try so hard, to save Miss Violet Beauregarde.

Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long.

(Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.)

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
winding in and winding out
the shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated, i am

[chorus]
vindicated
i am selfish
i am wrong
i am right
i swear i'm right
i swear i knew it all along

And i am flawed
But i am cleaning up so well
i am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
like the diamond in your ring
cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
the shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me
so isolated, so motivated
i am certain now that i am

So turn
up the corners of your lips
part them and feel my finger tips
trace the moment, fall forever
defense is paper thin
just one touch and i'd be in
too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
so let me slip away

Slight hope
it dangles on a string
like slow spinning redemption...
