Three important rules for breaking up
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to Prolonging the situation only makes it worse Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly Don't make a big production Don't make up an elaborate story This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene If you wanna date other people say so Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected Even if you've gone together for only a short time, And haven't been too serious, There's still a feeling of rejection When someone says she preferres the company of others To your exclusive company, But if you're honest, and direct, And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news, The boy will respect you for your frankness, And honestly he'll appreciate the kind of straight foward manner In which you told him your decision Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends I'm head of the class'm popular I'm a quarter back I'm popular My mom says I'm a catch I'm popular I'm never last picked I got a cheerleader chick Being attractive is the most important thing there is If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond You have to be as attractive as possible Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean Wash it at least every two weeks Once every two weeks And if you see Jonny football hero in the hall Tell him he played a great game Tell him you like his article in the newspaper I'm the party star I'm popular I've got my own car I'm popular I'll never get caught I'm popular I make football bets I'm a teachers pet. I purpose we support a one month limit on going steady I think It will keep you both more able to deal with weird situation And get to know more peopleI think if you're ready to go out with Jonny Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit He wont mind he'll apreciate your fresh look on dating And once you've dated someone else you can date him again I'm sure he'll like it Everyone will appreciate it You so novel what a good idea You can keep you time to your self You don't need date insurance You can go out with whoever you want to Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours If you'll just listen to my plan THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY |

Clusters of people talking secretly to each other
In a bar you cannot talk openly To anyone you don't already know 4-year-olds, they've got the right idea They jump the line and hit it on the nose When we sit and we get quiet Then we look and see who's home across the way There are 80 windows we can see It's Christmastime and they all have the same tree You tell me the patterns you already see I wonder if they see us in our bed You said you like the one With the father who always eats with his son I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm I feel far away from you, so what else is new? The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone When we sit and we get quiet Then we look and see who's home across the way You said you like the one With the father who always eats with his son I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm I feel far away from you, so what else is new? The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone I feel far away from you, so what else is new?

You made me feel like I'm ok, I could be happy Now I can sit, not run away stupidly laughing Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down. Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down. I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running? You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry. I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry. I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. I've gotta try. When exactly are we? I get the decades mixed up. I like the streets when they're empty, I can make the rest up. I can make the rest up, I can make the rest up. I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running? You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry. I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. Every day is New Year's Eve, Every night is the last night. Every day is New Year's Eve, Every night is the last night. You said I should get professional help, It always makes me cry I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. |

when you walk home from the party
drunk on bacardi and listening to the voices that lie to you nightly, make you frightened of everyone, make you sorry for something. you go home and spend your life alone with the stereo, watching the late show; or force yourself out in the night to meet your generation. you feel like claymation in fluorescent light. on our knees, we made it hard to see, we made it hard to breathe and the air was thin. |

Now where is that robot, is he alive or is he done?

you see yourself sitting on top so self assured - happy, but when your parents bail you out you somehow feel not free. you're bored to tears in school, it's not like what you thought at all. trouble is not the answer. i know what you want to know: slow down; why you wanna move so fast? why you wanna walk so far? i think i know what you want. your father toys with you hoping his evil game will win. in order not to loose, the trick is not to play with him. anything good you do is added to your past - your wealth. you'll need it all the day you finally choose to ask yourself: slow down; why you wanna move so fast? why you wanna walk so far? wait and find out who you are and how you're gonna make it last. something's gonna change, now re-spell your name. tired of highs and lows, now derail your train. and if this letter finds you lost and out of touch - lonely, i hope you know by now you mean so very much to me. |

why do i feel bad again? i shouldn't be sad or miss a grin. doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out, skews the view from my cloud. troublemaker tempting fate, questioning the path i take, showing me the twists and turns, the forks and points of no return. i would hold my breath so long to wash ashore where i belong. broken roses on the steps, like promises i never kept. promises i never made but could have honored anyway. tied to years, slave to fears, i will always hold you dear. tired, troubled but sincere, wishing... f**k the rime. wishing i had a time to wish you mine. every day i choose to spend the rest of my life with her and every day i break the molds of lives and worlds. i already miss the things that i will never know. i will never know the things that i've already missed. |

Getting spacier than an astronaut Making out with people I hardly know or like I can't believe what I do late at night I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above Only when we get to see the aerial view Will the patterns show, we'll know what to do I know the last page so well, I can't read the first So I just don't start, it's getting worse I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I can't find my way in I try again and again I'm on the outside of love Always under or above I can't find my way in I try again and again I'm on the outside of love Always under or above Must be a different view To be a me with a you I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love Of course I'll be alright I just had a bad night I had a bad night |

Clusters of people talking secretly to each other
In a bar you cannot talk openly To anyone you don't already know 4-year-olds, they've got the right idea They jump the line and hit it on the nose When we sit and we get quiet Then we look and see who's home across the way There are 80 windows we can see It's Christmastime and they all have the same tree You tell me the patterns you already see I wonder if they see us in our bed You said you like the one With the father who always eats with his son I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm I feel far away from you, so what else is new? The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone When we sit and we get quiet Then we look and see who's home across the way You said you like the one With the father who always eats with his son I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm I feel far away from you, so what else is new? The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone I feel far away from you, so what else is new? The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone |

All of a sudden I
Lost the lie I let myself believe I'd be a brand new guy But holy shit I'm just a door Well... I helped you to see out of your hole Got the gas on in your house because you turned to coal When you're back up on your feet You'll move right past me You're makin' plans with my friends I know they're great It's a little late to let me down Oh no... I better go You set the tone You just don't know You're scratching it in stone I better wash my clothes Take a bath Move up and down the hall untill I find my class So I can be myself again This movie has gotta end... (x3) Do do.. do do do do do do(x3) This movie has gotta end... (x5) Oh... yeah...(x4) (fades out) |

Do you ever feel like you just landed on this earth?
You see the creatures all do their dances back and forth You get restless and then you join them on the floor Suddenly it's tomorrow It's not today anymore (X2) Chorus: You talk to the ceiling every day The speakers are shaking Why do i hear you okay? They're playing soul at the wrong speed It sounds right now What are you doing to me? D'you ever feel like what we call real life is not so real? Tripping up on the same old problems you had last year We'll pretend it's another planet not so uptight The stars are shining above the city every night They come every night Chorus (x1) Where are we going? I don't care Our friends all left Let's go anywhere It's getting late I don't care It's just you and me Let's go anywhere |

hands up who thinks it's now home base is the bathroom where the lights are bright it's never too late if you know how we got our own brand of hyperspace you cannot change anyone there is no peace, there's only sun when you want to go, i know you will and i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way there's no right and there's no wrong there's just the balance of the things you know |

And so we meet and there are sparks,
Its gold it's new and free from sharks, Your house is big it seems so clean, Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet. Are you lightning? 'Cause I'm waiting. What's the timing? I'm not playing. And so I act like I'm 21, Wide eyed and drifting unto sun, Pay back is here my legs are numb, I'm back, it's square one feeling dumb. The sweet things, When do they come? Have I gone deaf? What's the song? Are you lightning? 'Cause I'm waiting, This is frightening, I'm not playing. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep, I see you through the mirror You sing we're not to steal. The only thing I'm scared of is the secret that you keep, I know where you are, I dunno where you are. Don't make the other wonder the others might sting, Tell me what you're thinking, Do not let me twist. Just look at the size of you. I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep, I see you with something that's funny I hear you I almost weep, I see you from my steps, you're walking up my street, But just look at the size of you. I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep, I see you from my steps you're walking up my street. And just look at the size of you, The sun shine on and on... The sun shine on and on... |

Leave me alone, and there'll be
No one to get hurt Nobody move and there'll be Nothin' to disturb The sum of it all is that you Don't know where to turn Despite all your promises you Don't keep what you learn Beautiful beat get me out of this mess Beautiful beat lift me up from distress Sometimes all i want is another Drink or another pill If i could get anything done Maybe I'd hold still I'm trying to levitate I'm Trying to leave the ground Tryin' to remember when i could Fix anything with sound Beautiful beat get me out of this mess Beautiful beat lift me up from distress I believe our love can save me Have to believe that it can I want to redirect myself with you Do you understand? Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress (Beautiful beat get me out of this mess Beautiful beat lift me up from distress) I believe our love can save me Have to believe that it can I gotta reinvent myself for you Can i be your man? I believe our love can save me Have to believe that i can I wanna redirect myself with you 'Cause you understand Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress |

The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound Take a train to a bus, and then into the air Take a train to a bus, and then into the air If I had wings, I'd follow you up there Girl you know I hate to see you go I hate to see you go But the sunlight follows you right down the road Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry This deep well of tears has just run dry You showed me just how easy love could be You showed me just how silly love could be But everything, you showed me gracefully Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime If not now, then at the end of your life-time You'll be waiting by my bed I know You'll be waiting by my bed I know And your last little words will be i love you so The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound |

The fox, the fox
Lied Eyes under my prize The fox, the fox Lied Fox eyes under my prize We're in a different war With ourselves, and with some of you So many things that don't hold true With the fear that dims our light With the barnacles on our right On the grass, beachy head On the cliff to which you've been lead The curve of the hill is green and soft As if the wind would hold you aloft Its how you feel for me now, not how you felt Its how you deal with envy, not how you dealt Recognise and send away, set it asail Serenity inside of me We're in a different war With ourselves, and with some of you So many things that can't be true On the grassy beachy head On the cliff where you were laid The curve, the hill is green and soft As if the wind would hold you Serenity inside of me Set asail But you'll sail alone If you don't hold the rope You'll go alone |

Here comes the hot feeling again
When i hear his name I clearly have no control Can't help wondering If herein gone like a wave I forget but then, start rememberin' The devil in my mind, why can't he go home Are we on our way I do not want to be in this song So while the summer rats and their hats high Where is the wind Why does it feel still again Can't think along these lines I'm gonna live a long time Not along these lines I'm gonna live a long time When it goes black it goes black so fast No good state lads What i get slow is how to bounce back You'll have to invent what you lack Now I turn to the seasons, the sleeping demons I want your attention, your infection For every new reason, do you know how i need it? Oh your face and everything that you say And Oh your face and everything that you say And Oh your face and everything that you say I almost washed us out talking to me The call came like a wave of relief I'm such a lucky mess I just need some rest Take me along From now on Take me along From now on I'm gonna live a long time (x3) |

Look around, what a mess
Anybody's guess Here goes something Yeah here goes something Now change programs Here goes something Gravity's, big success No one's taken off yet Changing speeds, What a ride Stir up your insides Your majesty Your majesty Your majesty Where we mean Chasing light, dawn to bed It came to me instead Chasing light, dawn to bed It came to me instead |

Emergency above
Put on your hard hats and invisible gloves What's going on I was on the wagon, I thought I was done You have to watch out When one falls in, another came out You say, I like what you say I like what you say You say, I like what you say I like what you say They say you have to have somebody They say you have to be someone's They say if you're not lonely alone, boy there is something wrong You say, I like what you say I like what you say You say, I like what you say I like what you say You say, baby, I only what to make you happy Baby, I only want to make you They say, you learn from your mistakes That's not always the case I see them and I understand How I made them again and again They say you have to have somebody They say you have to be someone's They say if you're not lonely alone, boy there is something wrong You say, I like what you say I like what you say You say, I like what you say I like what you say You say, baby, I only want to make you happy Baby, I only what to make you |

I am made of Sopwith Camel
Sherman PT-17, sixty and cloudy, I go slow Compared to modernity I am a humming bee Sweater-weather and Hugs and drugs and movies But baby ice Is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing You rolled the dice but You didn’t know anything Underneath the oxide Underneath the oxide It’s all the same song I am made of no newspapers When the V-1 buzzing stopped Only prayers I am made of young curiosity, deluded piety Double-whiskey for the men Don’t talk to thy neighbour If they don’t take your same lord as saviour In a songless meeting house Proud to be the only ones Who get saved in the end From hugs and drugs and movies But baby ice Is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing You rolled the dice but You didn’t know anything What if I start now? Just like someone’s watching me Somebody’s watching me What if I start now? Just like someone’s watching me But baby ice Is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing Underneath the oxide Underneath the oxide Underneath the oxide It’s all the same |

Everyone's right
And no one is sorry That's the start and the end of the story From the sharks and the jets To the call in the morning Everyone's right And no one is sorry That's the start and the end of the story From the sharks and the jets To the call in the morning And life is just bets anyway Look alive See these bones What you are now we were once Try it as they the might No one is immune to Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues And thinking this time to re-do ,re-do I feel rain in the movies And the talk before the screen lights I hear strings in the park I don't like to call or write Except when it's too late at night And mostly just think in the dark Look alive See these bones What you are now we were once Just like we are You will be dust Just like we are Permanent You look too tired to eat to hungry too sleep Just imagine the speed It's just what you need Look alive And see these bones What you are now We were once And just like we are You'll be dust Just like we are Permanent The lights in the city Are more or less blinking This side of the story Decides what you are thinking Warm arms and cold faces we're squinting, we're hurrying We take inventory We're digging, we're burying. Do you remember when the light was low? Do you remember it fell? Do you remember when we went through her house? Remember ringing the bell? Look alive See these bones What you are now We were once Just like we are You'll be dust Just like we are Permanent |

Outside just killing time and making noise
And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere and don't dream, that is a dream it is what it seems Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream, That is a dream it is what it seems That is a dream it is what it seems Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated Water skiing, the waters hot, the waters soft You act nice, a black birthday card I threw it away Correct life, is like eating speed or flying a plane It's too bright, it's too bright Outside just killing time and making noise And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream, That is a dream it is what it seems That is a dream it is what it seems Why do black hats hide behind each others backs all the time? Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated |

I walk like you guide me, my eyes
Are shut like I'm blind Turn to you and listening and tryin' To be in your mind There's a feeling that I get When I look to the west 'Bout having all the answers Still failing the test Wolf packs and convoys and Captains of men Surprised in translation World without end Welcome back to real life The picture is gone Put a contract out on things that go on and on How do you stay where You most want to be? Where'd you get the patience Did it come easily? ahhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh On whose authority I have none over me On whose authority There's none that I can see On whose authority I have none over me On whose authority No one speaks to me On whose authority I have none over me ... ahhhhhhh All the tales with paper heroes The ones who dyed the sun And called it yellow The ones who made you run On whose authority I have none over me On whose authority There's none that I can see On whose authority I have none over me On whose authority None that' speaks to me On whose authority I have none over me ... ahhhhhhh |
