I'm new to you
Do you have something good to do?
Do you? Good you,
I'm headed right now to good you
How you do? How you do?
How do you make me new?
Make it easy on me,
oh maybe one day they will see
we speak our own language
The plan for now
is take it easy as it comes
the plan later
is take it easy as it comes
How we do, how we do
how do we make it new
make it easy on us
we last if you trust my trust
we will last, follow
a fantastic plan, a fantastic plan
the very little, little plan
can stand
i'm new to you
do you have something good to do?
you do, good you
i'm headed right now to good you
how you do? how you do?
how do you make me new
make it easy on me,
oh maybe one day they will see
that we will give a hand,
give a hand
if nothing else, nothing will,
nothing can

The World Is My Bastard
03:15

Once, I was happy
but now you've left me,
and I'm feeling oh so crappy
oh no, I thought that I had it mastered
but now I find out the world is my bastard
If I can't see through my depression
don't let me blow off my head with a gun
that's not much fun
once, we were joyous
but then every little thing seemed to annoy us
oh no, I thought that I had the answer
and maybe I do, but it's just not a good answer
If I can't see through my time of gloom
Don't let me jump right on into my tomb
it's way too soon
I won't tell you a lie
(ooh with stars I'm alone)
I lie in bed I'll cry
(ooh every night)
You were the precious gift
(Ooh with stars I'm alone)
that I had to shoplift
Cause you know that I have too
many
sides to
express
I am a mess!
Won't you just be honest
don't you want good things upon us?
Now come, now come up to my door
How come, how come we can't have it no more?
And if I can't see through this time of grief
Don't let me bring my own eternal sleep
that's way too deep
I won't tell you a lie
(Ooh with stars I'm alone)
I'll lie in bed I'll cry
(ooh every night)
you were the precious gift
(ooh with stars I'm alone)
I don't want to shoplift
Cause you know that I have too
many
sides to
express
I am a mess!
Won't you make a promise
We will always make good upon us
Now come, now come up to my door
how come, how come we can't have it no more?
Oh, I don't see why not!

she comes giving me my love back
says I don't have to pack
and go
you know
I keep looking on down the track
think, do I have to make tracks
and blow this joint?
well, I don't know
she comes giving me my love back
feels like a heart attack
I'll live
Give back what's mine
What if it's all an act?
What if we are in act one?
Who knows?
Let's just have fun!
Right now
Pure is her allure
Her allure is pure
Info never leaks
Silent sofa freaks
Here we are at it again
Soulful reeks of love
I'm telling you that I'm in
Back to the middle of-
One time
you looked over your shoulder
she couldn't care less and less
unless, unless
you told her
that she was going to (,too)
just say, give me my love back
right now

The Cause Of It All
03:37
|
|||
|
Everybody's been talking about the lady outside
like, you know, she's the kind of woman
to make them satisfied
so I went and spied
Spied her, I decide what I saw
reminds me of a ball
That you couldn't catch at all
Anyways, she just bounces off the wall,
She'll roll on down the hall
and lead you on
So if you are gonna make a move, be ready
She is ready
She is deadly
You are much too nice
So, you better think twice
She reminds me of a straw
that you couldn't suck at all
Anyways, she's only something that you saw
and that's the cause of it all
And it's alright
Looks like you better think twice
It's like rolling in the dice
Said if you are gonna make a move, be ready
She is ready
She is deadly
You are much too nice
So you better think twice
She has not a single flaw
And that is against the law
Only way with her's against the law
That's why it's against the law
Looks like you better think twice
Cause I'm not sure if you'll ever live twice
If you think, you better think twice
She reminds me of a ball
that you couldn't catch at all
Anyway, she's only something that you saw
And that's the cause of it all
And it's alright
Looks like you better think twice

The Angels Bawl
02:31

|
And you crawl
And you stall
And you fall
just like you always fall
and then you cry,
no, no, you bawl, yeah,
you bawl just like the angels bawl
And he cries, she cries, and I can cry, too
But I don't cry the way you do
If you ever need to talk of love
you can speak your words to the sky above
you can talk it up just like you always talk
Yeah, talk it up, eh, talk of love
till it rains like tears from the sky above
You talk just like the angels talk
The type of thing I've come to do
when thinking all these thoughts of you
just talk it up just like I always talk
the kind of thing I've come to do
when dreaming all these things of you
just cry and cry just like the angels bawl
And if I cry all the time, all the time, that'd be fine
but I still can't cry the way you do, no, no, no,
not the way you do
And I miss those ways, I miss you every single day,
and I always want to feel that way, too
like the way you do

If I should live a thousand lives
It is possible that I will be with you in one
If I should ever live that long
It is probable that I won't remember this one
To all those who never would reply
I may have said that you can go ahead and die
and I would never even know
I won't say that cause I don't mean it anymore
At night it will hit me so vague
what could I have done different
It will pain me strong to know
I'll never be perfect, oh, oh
If I should live one worried life
it already feels like I have died a thousand deaths
If I should ever die that much
It will always hurt me
you were the one who had the special touch
and you know it brings sorrow
I can't help but live this way, maybe tomorrow
I will change
I can't see the future, but- you know
At night it will hit me so vague
What could I have done different?
It will pain me strong to know
I'll never be perfect, oh, oh
If I should live a thousand lives
it is possible that I will be with you in one
If I should ever live that long
it is so probable that I won't remember this one
To all those who never would reply
I may have said that you can go ahead and die
and I would never even know
I won't say that cause I don't mean it anymore
No I don't! mean it anymore
No I don't mean it anymore
If I should live a thousand lives...
