Though it's hard to admit it's true
I've come to depend on you You and your angelic shout Loud enough for two And that is why I'll confide in you the truth this time That is why I just can't go on and live this lie Yesterday all was right as rain But now the forecast's not It's partly cloudy with trouser stains And his copy of enquiring minds But that never meant that much to her She chose to keep her nose too clean She'd rather keep it pointed anyway In the spine of a magazine And when you say I trust in you I promise you the truth And when you say I bet you won't You know I will And it'll be better in the end So when you think you've got it figured out Then you know you don't Like all the rest you'd like to sit and pout But of course you won't |

I Wanna Stay Home (A. Sturmer)
When you need someone And there's no one there There is always the nine o'clock train To take you out somewhere I take the train in town Like I did for years There is only seven more blocks I could walk from here I wanna stay home I wanna stay home right here I wanna stay home today I wanna stay It's only six o'clock When my day begins There is always my alarm clock To wake me up again When I realize the weight That's firmly on my shoulders I just try and find the place I can take a walk on my blind side When these memories fade In my ripe old age Please remember my dear... I wanna stay home I wanna stay home right here I wanna stay home today I wanna stay I wanna stay I wanna stay I wanna stay I wanna stay |

He writes her a letter
tells her he won't be home soon-she still loves him he lost his temper belted his love cross the room--she still loves him drinks when he's sad gets happy then mad at the world--she still loves him never remembers that day in September when wed--she still loves him So she recalls the days when they were younger flowers could heal her wounds but now those days are gone forever and her pain just fills every room Faces aglow as the light from the t.v. show just separates them now--she still loves him all they wanted to be was as happy as couple no. 3 on their favorite game show she still loves him He recalls the days when they were younger the future could heal their wounds but now those days are long since gone forever now her pain just fills every room I know someday this will all work out she'll never face this alone the light in her eye may be flickering dim but she still loves him |

Jimmy
His secret's out The one he locked inside and denied every word about He's guilty so his story claims Twisting in his seat he repeats alone his name Counting the woes Between his every line Searchin miles and miles to define Just what it all means Jimmy As quiet as a church mouse Painted every graphic scene but with few details His accomplice had made sure of this When she sealed it with a bedspring kiss And when her time had come to go Jimmy washed all of the bloodstains from her clothes But with a needle in his vein It became too hard to explain Just what it all means Counting the words between his every line Searchin' miles and miles to define Just what it all means Killing his time A monkey in his vein He knew he could not explain Just what it all means Just what it all means |

I knew that when I saw her
That my life would soon move over from the fast lane Gone would be the days of all my drinkin' and my carrying on But when I settled down The party king uncrowned This stubborn memory hadn't faded Too many dumb mistakes And all the grief it makes Left nothing else to be debated And if you say that you understand then you're lyin' But if you figure that I'm alright now I can't deny it Baby's comin' back Baby's comin' back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way If I had a dollar For every single time I fought her I'd buy a handgun (I'd buy a handgun) But that couldn't shoot away The bullseye that she made on my heart And if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so But on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let go Baby's comin' back Baby's comin' back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today (yeah, yeah) I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way What I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown But when she said she'd give me one more chance I said knock three times when you arrive Baby's comin' back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today (yeah, yeah) Baby's comin' back, my darlin' Baby's comin' back this evenin' I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way |

Is it really worth it?
Something given for free. If it leaves you so downhearted. So downhearted. If you've an opinion. You can answer yes but it's no for me. Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me. And then shake itself free. And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend? Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway? Have you seen the papers? There's a wonder kid and he's only two. - he's only two He's playing Beethoven on his violin. There's something I don't need tickets to. Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest grab hold of me. And then shake itself free. And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend? Why won't it stay and where does it go anyway? Now I find out the hard way that it's going back to stay back to stay. And I'm lost and I'm lonely cause my baby won't come back to play. Come back to me little lady please come back to little old me. I'm a tourist even in my own skin. Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me. And then shake itself free. And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend? Why won't it stay and where does it go anyway? And I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me. And then shake itself free. And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend? Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway? |

Invitations never came, she was late again
So we pretended not to see her life controlled by him So we spent the winter there calming frenzied nerves Your destiny is in the hands of the deity you serve Lovers come and lovers go Just don’t lose your nerve That’s when she said... Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something Inspiration’s not a choice, it’s got to search you out And give ;you truth you have to voice beyone a shadow of a doubt Education was a drag, it’s too much them or me I always seemed to find a snag to confuse my pedigree She said to find a jury of your peers They’d all have to learn To confront their fears Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something I don’t already know Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something |

Life can be just like painting
Full of wonderful strangeness With colors so vibrant you feel like you should look away Paint me in your dreams you'll remember me this way I, I want to life you out of your past Because I had nothing to do with it say we can leave it behind My face reflected in your eyes for everyone to see Until I see you again Until I see you again I amazed all the survivors With my heart strings intact I brought it all back to you And I, I want to dance with you I need you to enjoy just the thought of it, give in, give in Oh walk me through your maze, I promise I won't stray Until I see you again Until I see you again Walk me through your maze forever... Until I see you again |

Who's that talkin' to the blue sky?
Staring, starin' at the orange sun? Who's that laughin' all the way home? It's me... So you are pretty sure I am the one You checked me out, I'm loads of fun You think I may also be slighty insane You've seen me dance, that's proof enough I got this little girl who overflows with questions She tastes like honey She's broken all my rules but she is the exeption She tastes like honey Time has a way of revealing the truth Like ugly trends from a desperate youth I only hope hindsight is kinder to us And we don't find we've missed the bus I got this little girl who overflows with questions She tastes like honey She's broken all my rules but she is the exeption Does that sound funny? How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself? How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself? How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself? Who's that peering through the keyhole? Standing, standin' on his tippy toes Who's that starin' at a blank page? It's me... Should we be worried we're movin' so fast I can't resist that kiss So tell me to stop and I promise I'll try that's when she said "Let's stay in bed" I got this little girl who tells it like it is She tastes like honey I've forgotten all my rules have a look syhe's an exeption How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself? How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself? How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself? How can I help anyone if I can't help myself? How can I help anyone if I can't help myself? How can I help anyone if I can't help myself? How can I help anyone if I can't help myself? |

Oh it’s so hard to believe
like a bad dream you cannot wake from Cause we used to sing songs together and weather the changes that come If life apart is impossible And I know anything’s possible We’ll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home And I went from passionate lover to father and brother to her And she kept her magic from me for what seemed like an eternity If life apart is impossible And I know anything’s possible We’ll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home Now you have got to understand We had dropped each other’s hand so long ago And sunk into a deep despair Nobody in love should ever know or feel It’s sad but only in the sense We were young and innocent back then And we were a storybook couple, the kind of stuff dreams are made on Yeah living proof that love exists, we could have inspired you But something failed in our master plan And far away our happiness ran It took so long to see what I’d really never seen before Now you have got to understand We had dropped each other’s hand so long ago And sunk into a deep despair Nobody in love should ever know or feel It’s sad but only in the sense We were young and innocent back then ... I never once towards the end saw the friend that she could have been And she was too angry to see all the patience she needed from me If life apart is impossible And I know anything’s possible We’ll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home Now you have got to understand We had dropped each other’s hand so long ago And sunk into a deep despair Nobody in love should ever know or feel It’s sad but only in the sense We were young and innocent back then And if there is a change of heart let me introduce you to the plan. |

I can walk. I can run.
Take a bow. Just for fun. When it's true there's nothing like it It's not my job to make you like it Running with the animals tonight I'm quite aware of what I've accomplished. A natural high. I'm feeling famished. So color me completely zany When you're well lit you're still in training (boo) Running with the animals tonight Run...take it off. Uh keep it off. Fancy footwork. Where were you, huh? Cause when it's true there's nothing like it It's not my job to make you like it Running with the animals tonight. Running with the animals tonight. Running with the animals tonight. |

Nobody told me guess
I could’ve just asked how you were, how you were It seems like forever since you told me you dropped out of school And came back to the west where they say life’s the best And I haven’t heard a thing about the boy No I haven’t heard a thing about the boy Though I try to understand this I don’t know what it is Cause I haven’t heard a thing about the boy I tried to remember you and me and how it was way back then, before him With morning come the birds, with birds come the light Au revoir, adios, good night, sweet night And I haven’t heard a thing about the boy No I haven’t heard a thing about the boy Though I try to understand you I don’t know who you are Cause I haven’t heard a thing about the boy Good night, sweet night Good night, sweet night Good night, sweet night Good night, sweet night......... |

Go to sleep and hush little darling.
It's time for bed, time to put out the light. Sweet dreams are awaiting behind your closed eyes and a blanket of night. Where the bed bugs don't bite. Go to sleep and hush until morning. You've said all your prayers. Time to make them come true. Don't worry your daddy is here If you need him tonight. Ease your mind. Rest your eyes and sleep tight. Goodnight. |

She turned the nightlight on a blew him a kiss.
He stared back through is green crayola eyes. She traced his likeness from off the back of a disc. Next to the boxtop promise of the biggest prize. Joining a fan club with my friends. Filling our bathtubs with tee shirts and 8 x 10's. He looks so dreamy, I'm in love from afar. When I'm picking up a fallen star. Downstairs the late show's blasting 'age of the rock'. The greedy monks playin' last Sunday at the milky way. Mom's writing checks to the minister in the corner singing 'dig down deep'. 'Cause if you wanna go to heaven all you gotta so is pay to pray. Joining a fan club with my pen. Filling my bathtub with Holy water and amens. He looks so dreamy, I'm in love from afar. When I'm picking up a fallen star. Shake that woody. Shake it for me St. Pinocchio. You've paid your money, now watch that money grow. Joining a fan club, best be warned. He turns me on when he wears that lampshade corwn of thorns. We'd be so dreamy, Sharing his black caviar. While I'm picking up a fallen star. Joining a fan club is a big mistake. I still get heartburn when I think about all of the stamps I ate. I wished I'd loved him, Before fate crashed his car. Say a prayer for the fallen star. |

Far behind the forest of flying paper aeroplanes
Grazing on the grounds of ponytails The substitute is counting down her ticks till recess Hammering down to size her fingernails Because today's the day sebrina builds her box lunch buffet Kool-aid, sandwiches and chips for all the shoulders Lunch is on the table soon dessert is on the floor, singing... So serene, Sebrina makes me feel so serene... So serene, Sebrina makes me feel so serene... Chesney's looking dapper in his brand new dunce cap Strolling down the runway to an "F" (never has he ever looked this lovely) With all the others watching Eating paste and plato (the one and only) He fights the urge to run and kiss the chef But she's a lovetarian especially in the form of puppies So he keeps his elbows off her table But spills the beans That he loves the girl behind the boysenberry punch (Sebrina) So serene, Sebrina makes me feel so serene ... (Our lady of the jabberwock) So serene, Sebrina makes me feel so serene (I live to smell her tulips talk) So serene, Sebrina makes me feel so serene (The hostess for the Show and Tell, the shepherdess of the muscatel flock) Lunchbox, hopsctoch on the rocks With spitballs, pratfalls, alcohol Sebrina ... |

Curtain opens, spotlights the gentleman
Signing his love letter "Best wishes, Simpleton" Dialog swam from his pen like pollywogs He knew better that perfume was gravity Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy Love is blind, deaf and dumb, but never mind You better catch me when I fall I'm on my roller skates 'Cause any ole way that I fall I land in your arms even though it's wrong 'Cause I love my new mistake Intermission gave way to a miracle The birth of an accident grew to a spectacle That couldn't wait The mother was three weeks late So Father Mason clutching his crucifix Baptized the baby in whiskey and licorice What a lovely way Drowning sins in tooth decay Looks like our hero's gonna fall The bough's about to break 'Cause any ole way that I fall I'll be in your arms as we lie awake With our lovely new mistake You better catch me when I fall My sugar trampoline 'Cause any ole way that I fall I land in your arms even though it's wrong 'Cause I love my new mistake The ending turned tragic when many years later The baby had grown up and married a pop singer I guess it was her turn to make (her first mistake) Any ole time at all Any ole way that I fall Any ole time at all Any ole way that I fall Any ole time at all Any ole way that I fall I just lie awake with my new mistake |

In the breathless hush of four a.m.
In the dark sits a sad cliche Cloaked in the navy blue Of slowly fading stars Tell me how this came to be Sleeplessness talk to me She'd say over and over again Fumbling through a cut-glass vase Passing lipstick, cotton spools Burning jealous pictures of marriages Of friends You never asked to be The glutton of sympathy She says over and and over That this is the end 'Cause I see it in your eyes What you don't know, time to let go I see it in your eyes There is so much more out there to be learned Such mournful words On this white snow vacant page All the lessons that she learns She packs away Will you never cease to be The glutton of sympathy She writes over and over Again That's when I see it in your eyes What you don't know, time to let go I see it in your eyes There is so much more out there to be learned Tossing, turning, roll away Indecision, won't you ever make up your mind Lifetime, nighttime, wake the day 'Cause tomorrow will see If you've had your fill of sympathy Will you never cease to be The glutton of sympathy Oh, don't you know the stars are all fading Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile |

i dreamt about a tranquil
sunday drive a sensory lullaby we trade the comic cartoons and magazines for pistons and gasolines we see the road from the bedside parked under the sunshine we feel the warmth of the engine so we climb inside and take to the motorway watch the clouds turn into faces it's fun to play shift the gears for years and age a single day until we spill onto russian hill past cathedrals filled with god's favorite guests dirty hands feel clean dressed in their sunday best treeline villages oh so heavenly cross a bridge of gold to landscapes of jumper only eden is for millionaires watch the clouds turn into faces its fun to play shift the gears for years and age a single day until we spill onto russian hill i'm pulling through the last stoplight we head home past the shoreline and through the rear view mirror it melts away till we're hopeless watch the clouds turn into faces its fun to play we're hopeless we shift the gears for years and age a single day it fades away for like curtains close this sunset matinee a dream fulfilled on russian hill |

Say goodnight, your song is through
Faint refrain we hardly knew Comes crashin' against the drunken waters of this wake when I hesitate Because all I can say is "too much, too little, too late" Farewell, you fool Spare me the punch line please, I learned it well at Sunday school Way back when all you loved was the grease paint, not the collection plate So much for the funny face Because all I can say is "too much, too little, too late" Remember when murder was only killing time And an axe to grind (to grind, it was) was a bitter gulp of strychnine? What happened to the musketeers of chesterfields? Tobacco swords behind smoky shields Say goodnight (goodnight) Old song (so long) You're through (set the needle back and hum a new tune) Faint refrain (refrain) Make room (so soon, so soon) For new (until the hook can pull the bridge into view) Spare me the vague, not-so-clever couplets The ones I would have loved when I was you 'Cause now all I can say is "too much, too little ..." And all I can feel, feels like the heaviest weight 'Cause all I can say is "too much, too little, too late" |

She goes to bed, but it's always alone
With a handful of friends and trouble at home She wants to be good, she knows that she should But with the knowledge of this, there's no way she could...oh, no We're no more than friends and that's where it ends But funny enough we're both wearing grins And I'll spend half the day just running around With a pocket of change and you on my mind I play with some words you might not have heard But I'm never afraid of sounding absurd And it's not hard to see the way this could be And if it's alright with you, then, it's OK with me... Some things are better unsaid... Oh, she goes to bed, but it's always alone With a handful of friends and trouble at home Oh, she wants to be real, to learn how to feel What can a poor girl do, but take your heart from you She'll take your heart from you... |

But since I'm such a lover I'll just have to let these things pass Because as time goes by I can no longer deny That a part of me died When I met miss understanding Baby, baby, baby, don't you know me Baby, baby, baby, can't control me I was born a butterfly With a twinkle in my eye And as time goes by I can no longer deny That a part of me died When I met miss understandings I've held so long Just to find I took you wrong It's you that's been here all along In truth together we belong So I left Mr. demanding, I did (that's me) Baby, baby, baby, don't you know me Believe me baby, no one can console me I have lived a thousand lives With a penchant for disguise What I tried to hide Is that I knew you lied And it cranked up my pride So incredibly high And as time goes by I can no longer deny That a part of me died When I met miss understanding When I met miss understanding I don't need miss understandings Bye bye... |

Well at least you've been consistent and for that I baked you a cake Recognize this as a dream, wake up and write it down From thought to actions an eternity I can't get this thing off the ground Author unknown So spell me out your proverb and ink it with your soul And I'll count down all the reasons you lost complete control Brutalize me with beauty, don't ever let me down Suspended on this stage of grace I have to remember this sound Author unknown, author unknown... Author unknown remember this sound If the path of least resistance is all you ever take Well at least you've been consistent in your defying fate Recognize this as a dream, wake up and write it down Suspended on this stage of grace how could I forget this sound Author unknown, author unknown... Author unknown remember this sound She's unknown. He's unknown. I'm unknown. We're all unknown. |
