ONE DAY I’LL CALL AND YOU WILL BE HOME AND YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER ALL
THE QUESTIONS I POSE NO MATTER HOW LONG I DRONE ON
IT’S NOT SOMETHING I LOOK FORWARD TO THOUGH YOU’RE THE ONE WITH EXPLAINING TO DO
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON INSIDE YOU
THESE DAYS SECRETS AREN’T MUCH OF A THREAT AT ALL
YOU CAN FIND OUT ALL YOU WANT BUT HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU KNOW?
GIVE IT TO ME I’LL KEEP IT
WITH ME IN THE DARKNESS
NO ONE HAS TO KNOW
WHAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW
THERE IS A TIME TO TELL ALL BUT ONLY WHEN IT’S PROFITABLE TO SELL OUT
EVERYONE INVOLVED
UNTIL THEN I’LL KEEP KNOCKING MYSELF OUT TRYING TO STAND OUT OF THE LINE
OF QUESTIONING DUE TO LIMELIGHT POISONING
I’D LIKE TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR KEEPING AN OPEN MIND
IT MAKES MY JOB SO EASY, YOU SEE, I HARDLY HAVE TO PRY

I'm Desperate

I'M DESPERATE
YOU UNDERSTAND THIS THAT PART I DID NOT MISS
THOUGH I LOST YOU FOR A SECOND I KNOW WHERE AND HOW YOU WENT
I’M QUITE ARTICULATE OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT
WHEN THE WORDS ARE WHERE YOU WANT THEM
BEFORE YOUR MIND KNOWS WHAT COMES NEXT
THOUGH MY THOUGHTS ARE REALLY STUPID AND MY MOUTH IS AN ABCESS
AN ABCESS
AM I ALWAYS THIS ABNORMAL? WELL I’LL TELL YOUR CIGARETTE
“SPEAK AWAY FROM MY LIPS, MY LUNGS TOOK ALL THEY CAN ACCEPT.”
IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER, IT WOULD NEVER STOP MY BREATH
FROM SLIDING SLOWLY DOWNWARD NO MATTER WHAT WAS SAID
I’LL APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY, I WILL WALLOW, I WILL SPIT
‘CAUSE I’M DESPERATE
IF YOU REFUSE I WILL REFUTE ALL THE VIEWS I WAS DISTORTING
AS I HOPED YOU WOULD RESPECT
I’VE GOT SOME STRONG OPINIONS THAT I NEVER GET TO SAY
I WANT TO BUT I WANT YOU NOT TO RUN AWAY
‘CAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU WON’T LISTEN AND I NEED SOMEONE TO STAY
‘CAUSE I’M DESPERATE

I Can't
01:20
|

|
I CAN'T
I CAN’T, I REALLY CAN’T
SO DON’T ASK ME AGAIN
‘CAUSE I CAN’T, I REALLY CAN’T
AND YOU ARE GETTING ANNOYING
IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO TELL YOU ONCE
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SUCH A PUTZ?
I CAN’T, YOU KNOW I CAN’T
SO GO BUG SOMEONE ELSE
I CAN’T ‘CAUSE I SAID I CAN’T
THERE’S NOTHING TO FIGURE OUT
GUESS WHAT: PLAYING DUMB WON’T GET YOU
WHAT YOU WANT SO GIVE UP NOW
BUT YOU CAN’T, SO I REALLY CAN’T
NO I WOULDN’T IF I COULD
UNDERSTAND, YOU BLEW YOUR CHANCE
AND WHINING DOES NO GOOD

Pretty Little Thing

PRETTY LITTLE THING
PRETTY LITTLE THING WHERE WILL YOU GO?
BETRAYED BY YOUR FAMILY THEY DON’T WANNA KNOW
STRAP ON THOSE HI-HEELS THEY NEVER BROUGHT YOU LOW
PULL ON THAT BLACK DRESS THAT PUTS YOUR LEGS ON SHOW
WALKING THROUGH THE SNOW
PULLING YOUR COAT CLOSE
HOPING SOMEONE SEES YOU
KNOWING THAT GOD KNOWS
PRETTY LITTLE THING WHERE WILL YOU GO?
BETRAYED BY YOUR FAMILY THEY DON’T WANNA KNOW
STILL SHITTY WITH MAKE-UP DESPITE THE TUTORIALS
PRACTICE WALKING IN THOSE HEELS TILL IT COMES NATURAL
YOU HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN
YOU’VE PLOTTED YOUR ESCAPE
IT’LL ALL COME OUT LATE ONE NIGHT
AND YOU, YOU JUST CAN’T WAIT
PRETTY LITTLE THING AT SIX FOOT FOUR

VALENTINE
THIS IS JUST A VALENTINE IT’S NOT OF ANY USE
A PIECE OF PAPER CUT AND DYED CAN BE HAD FROM ANY FOOL
THIS IS JUST A VALENTINE THAT I’M GIVING TO YOU
IT REPRESENTS HOW MY HEART’S BENT TOWARD TELLING YOU THE TRUTH
NOW YOU KNOW SO, DO YOU WANT IT?
THIS IS JUST A VALENTINE IT SAYS “I LOVE YOU”
THAT’S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY AND NOW YOU HAVE THE PROOF
THIS IS JUST A VALENTINE AND I AM JUST A FOOL
I AIM TO GIVE MY HEART AWAY - I THINK SOMEHOW YOU KNEW
NOW I’VE DONE IT, DO YOU WANT IT?
DO YOU?

Lazy & Stupid

LAZY & STUPID
I’LL ONLY CRY IF YOU’RE NICE TO ME
I CAN TAKE A HINT IF THE FIRST ONE’S FREE
AND I LIE, WHEN I LIE, LIKE A STONE
AND I LIE, WHERE I LIE ‘CAUSE I WAS THROWN
I’M SO LAZY & STUPID
I’M SO LAZY & STUPID
I’M SORRY, SO, SO SORRY
I HATE MYSELF IT’S EASY TO DO
I HARDLY SLEEP THE CLICHES CAME TRUE
CAN’T TAKE MY LIFE
I’M TO SCARED TO
WAKE UP AND MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVES
I TAKE MY TIME
TILL IT’S TO LATE TO
DO ANYTHING THAT EVERYONE CAN DO
(I CAN’T DO)

1/8th
MOST TIMES I START A FIRE I GOT NOTHING TO BURN
IT TAKES A LOT TO GET ME GOING MY GROOVES ARE SO WORN
I SWEAR ONE DAY I'LL FIND MYSELF IN A SITCOM'S KITCHEN
WITH SOME ACTOR WHO'S NOT WEARING PANTS
SO SURE HE CAN MAKE IT GIVEN I/8TH A CHANCE
I'VE AMASSED SOME CONTRADICTIONS A NEST OF BROKEN GLASS
MAGPIE'S LOVE THE SHINEY SURFACE – IT LEAVES ME COLD AND CRASS
HEY, I SHOULD NEVER WHINE ABOUT THESE SITUATIONS
AS THEY'RE ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD FOR LAUGHS
AND I CAN MILK THEM GIVEN 1/8TH A CHANCE
MOST TIMES I'LL RETIRE WHEN I'VE SAID TO MUCH
THE DIRTY LOOKS I REQUIRE MAKE ME YAWN AND STRETCH
I GUESS I NEED SOME TIME AWAY FROM GUILTY PLEASURE SEEKERS
AND PLENTY OF ROOM TO DANCE
YOU KNOW I'LL TAKE IT GIVEN 1/8 A CHANCE

Non-Stop

NON-STOP
SHUT UP, THIS IS GOING NOWHERE
ENOUGH, LET ME GO GET SOME FRESH AIR
LET'S TALK, A CONVERSATION NOT A MONOLOGUE
I GIVE UP, YOU DON'T REALLY WANT ME INVOLVED
I CAN'T TAKE THIS STRAIN
YOU WANT ME HERE JUST TO HEAR YOU
GO ON ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS
WHO JUST “DON'T UNDERSTAND” YOU
YOU TALK NON-STOP – WITH NO CONCLUSIONS
YOU TALK NON-STOP – REJECT ALL SOLUTIONS
YOU TALK NON-STOP – AND YOU NEVER CATCH ON
THAT EVERYBODY'S SUFFERING, THAT EVERYBODY'S MUCH THE SAME
AND EVERYBODY'S MUCH THE SAME, 'CAUSE EVERYBODY'S SUFFERING
IT'S HARD, NO THIS LIFE'S NOT THE EASIEST
BUT THERE'S NO TIME, TO WHINE ABOUT THE MEANINGLESS
YOU TALK NON-STOP

SHOULDA
HEY I WRECK LOVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE
SO IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU FOUND SOMEONE ELSE
NOW I'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT
HOW I CAN BEST KICK MYSELF
EVERYTIME I SING “SO LONELY”
I SHOULD'VE GUESSED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG
BY THE WAY THE WORDS WOULDN'T COME (THEY WOULD NOT COME)
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN IT'D ALL GO WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN WHAT I SHOULD'VE DONE
THERE'S THIS LINE IN THIS BOOK I READ
EVERYTIME I THINK OF IT I WANT TO CRY
IT'S ABOUT BEING LOVED SO MUCH
NO MATTER WHAT IS ROTTING IN YOUR GUTS
YOU CAN GET UP AND FACE IT DOWN
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN
I SHOULD'VE GONE
I SHOULD'VE SEEN
IT'S ALL GO WRONG
