Out Of This World
03:33
|
|||
One got stuck in the middle
Another one leading the pack
One guy thinks you’re a riddle
Another with a knife in his back
You say I never understand the new things you found
You’re a complicated kind of a girl
You say the pain of living’s really getting you down
But, I can’t feel sorry for a girl who is out of this world
Let’s get out of this world, Let’s get out of this world
It seems there’s always someone waiting there for you
You think you’re moving but, you’re stuck in reverse
You know that no one’s ever gonna ignore you
You keep saying things just couldn’t get worse
She’s got two chips there on her shoulder
She’s never happy until she’s in a fight
Last time I was with her, I told her
I just wanna get loaded tonight
You say I never understand the new things you found
You’re a complicated kind of a girl
You say the pain of living’s really getting you down
But, I can’t feel sorry for a girl who is out of this world
Let’s get out of this world, Let’s get out of this world

Dear Abby, won’t you try to be civilized?
Dear Abby, won’t you pick up the phone?
Dear Abby, won’t you try to remember me?
Dear Abby, please don’t leave me alone
I been waiting all night just to hear from you
I been walking in circles wondering what to do
I been thinking so hard I’m goin’ crazy
Dear Abby, won’t you try to remember me every day
Dear Abby, won’t you try to remember me?
Won’t you try this time and please don’t be late?
Dear Abby, won’t you think of me sometimes?
Please baby, don’t you dare hesitate
He was no good for you, tried to warn you now
Now they tell me you moved to California now
Won’t you try to remember me my baby
Dear Abby, won’t you try to be civilized every day
Where’s my dear Abby today?
Some day maybe you’ll see I think of you as a friend
But I know, I know in my heart I won’t be the same in the end
I’ve been waiting all night just to hear from you
I’ve been walking in circles wondering what to do
I’ve been ragin’ so hard I’m goin’ crazy
Dear Abby, won’t you try to remember me every day?
Dear Abby, won’t you try to be civilized?
Dear Abby, won’t you pick up the phone?
Dear Abby, won’t you try to remember me?
Dear Abby, please don’t leave me alone
I’ve been waiting all night just to hear from you
I’ve been walking in circles wondering what to do
I’ve been thinking so hard I’m goin’ crazy
Dear Abby, won’t you try to remember me every day?
Where’s my dear Abby today?
Dear Abby today
Gotta see dear Abby today
Dear Abby today
Gotta see dear Abby
Dear Abby today

Don't Look Down
02:57
|

Oh, there’s a ringing inside my head
I still can hear it at night in bed
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
It follows me all around like a friend
Wait til tomorrow
Don’t stick around
Drown all your sorrow
Don’t look down
Why are there rain clouds inside my head?
Try walkin’ in the sunshine instead
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
It follow me around like a friend
Leave all your sorrow
Don’t stick around
Here comes tomorrow
Don’t look down
Forget your trouble
It just brings you down
Think of your future
Don’t look down
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
It follow me around like a friend
Wait til tomorrow
Don’t stick around
Drown all your sorrow
Don’t look down

A World Apart
02:56
|
|||
I been drinkin’ every night since you been gone
And I still run to you each time I hear the ringin’ of the phone
They say you always hurt the one you really love
And I fit the part
Now I can’t stand to live another day a world apart
Been thinkin’ about your face for far too long
And how I never knew just what to do or how to get along
They say you always hurt the one you really love
And I fit the part
And I can’t stand to live another day a world apart
I said that I would shelter you
This big bad old world
Now I find that you are gone
I have lost the girl
They say you always hurt the one you really love
And I fit the part
Now I can’t stand to live without your love a world apart
I said that I would shelter you
This whole big bad old world
Now I find that I’m alone
And I have lost the girl
They say you always hurt the one you really love
And I fit the part
Now I can’t stand to live another day love a world apart
A world apart
A world apart

Stop Bringing Me Down
05:43
|
|||
Hey girl, what’s your name?
My name’s Jimmy it’s all the same anyway
Let’s live for today
Say, by the way, do you mind if I stay for a while?
See the guy at the bar
Moved to LA and learned how to play guitar
He’s a big rock star
Hey man, what’s your name?
It seems like I’ve seen you now but what is your claim anyway?
Just go away
Stop bringing me down
Had a band, had management
Had a record deal but it came and went
It’s too late
Met a girl from Beverly Hills
I did all her drugs
And she paid all my bills
It was great
Hey kid, stop the rack
Stop fuckin’ off soon as I turn my back
What a jerk, he wants me to work
Alright
Stop bringing me down
Hey kid, don’t think for yourself
Just put those boxes up on the shelf right away
Someday I’ll be on top, I’ll keep on goin’ man I’ll never stop
Fuckin’ A
Right away sir
Stop bringing me down

Pretty Little Lies
02:45
|
|||
Life is not a long and quiet river
Sometimes things don’t work out like you planned
There is always bad news to deliver
There are things we just don’t understand
It might be different for those other guys
But I won’t take anymore of your pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
You are looking very fine today
So won’t you come and see me for a while
You still see me every single day so
What’s gone wrong?
How come you never smile?
The leaves start falling and there’s cloudy skies
AndI won’t take anymore of your pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
It might be different for those other guys
But I won’t take anymore of your pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
One used toothbrush, pencils and a notepad
Things you left here make me think of you
Now I see them and it makes me so sad
Got to go there’s better things to do
The leaves start falling and there’s cloudy skies
But I won’t take anymore of your pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
Pretty little lies
Pretty little lies

Monkey Man
03:35
|
|||
I try to mind my own business
I never doubt what I see
I never ask you no questions
I try to live and let be
I try to roll with the punches
I try to ease up the fall
But when they monkey man calls me
I ain’t worth nothing at all
Baby, baby
Can’t see you today
Monkey, monkey
Just won’t go away
I want to lead a good life
I want to live my life free
But when the monkey’s around
Am I your worst enemy?
I try to roll with the punches
I try to ease up the fall
But when they monkey man calls me
I ain’t worth nothing at all, Let me tell you ‘bout it
Baby, baby
Can’t see you today
Monkey, monkey
Monkey’s here to stay
Don’t try to tell me that it’s easy to gettin’ rid of my friends
It keeps me hangin on singin’ a song
Stickin’ with me right til the end
Monkey, monkey
Don’t try to tell me that it’s easy to gettin’ rid of my friends
It keeps me hangin on, it’s doin’ me harm
It’s stickin’ with me right til the end
I try to roll with the punches
I try to ease up the fall
But when they monkey man calls me
I ain’t worth nothing at all
Baby, baby
Can’t see you today
Monkey, monkey
Just won’t go away
Monkey, monkey
Monkey around
Monkey, monkey
Monkey around

Everyday World
03:02
|
|||
Everyday world doesn’t like change
Everyday world things stay the same
You wake up and cry there in your bed
You think of the girl, the things that you said
I don’t want to live in an everyday world
Everyday world
Everyday world pain in your mind
Everyday world harder to find
Try to be strong, slippin’ away
Everyday world every day
I don’t want to live in an everyday world
Everyday world
Everyday feelings
Everyday longings
She just wants love
Everyday laughter seems to be sent from up above
Everyday feelings
Everyday longings sent from above
Everything empty
You just can’t seem to be in love
Everyday world, doesn’t like change
Everyday world, things stay the same
Wake up and cry there in your bed
You think of the girl, things that you said
I don’t want to live in an everyday world
I don’t want to live in an everyday world
Everyday world
Everyday world
Everyday world
This everyday world

Face the world with pride
Hey you’re looking good
Where’d you get those eyes
You’re gonna fall for those same old lies
Your eyes are pretty blue
You know it isn’t true
Next you’ll be saying “where you been all my life?”
Can’t you wake up
No, it’s not love, say what’s on your mind
If you can’t say anything, stop wasting all your time
Face the world with pride
It’s such a heartless game
And such a wicked shame
That you’re believin’ all the same old lies
And you just can’t pretend
That things are different when
His passion’s not the same as your desire
Can’t you wake up
No, it’s not love, say what’s on your mind
If you can’t say anything, stop wasting all your time
Face the world with pride
Can’t you wake up
No, it’s not love, say what’s on your mind
If you can’t say anything, stop wasting all your time
And when you find the nerves
To say you’ve lived and hurt
You’ll feel much better than you did all your life
And in a perfect world
You’ll be a patient girl
There’ll be no need for the same old guy
Can’t you wake up
No, it’s not love, say what’s on your mind
If you can’t say anything, stop wasting all your time
Face the world with pride
Face the world with pride
Face the world with pride

Love Runs Wild
03:03
|
|||
Love may come and love may go
Here’s something that I want you to know
Listen now, before you go
Won’t you let it show when love runs wild in your heart
Listen very carefully
You are everything in this world to me
Close your eyes and you will see
You’re my destiny when love runs wild in your heart
Love may comes to those who wait
If you try enough
Tears will fall and hearts will break
I guess that makes it tough
Love may comes to those who wait
If you try enough
Tears will fall and hearts will break
I guess that makes it tough
Love may come and love may go
Listen to me now and then you can go
There is nothing left to know
Won’t you tell me so when love runs wild in your heart
When love runs wild in your heart
I love when love runs wild in your heart

I'm Sexy
03:49
|
|||
Who are you to tell me that the truth is what you say
I cannot stop pretending that it hurts me every day
I know I'm not so perfect just like you in any way
So, put your fancy shoes on, turn around and walk away
You know,
I'm sexy, I don't look the way I feel
I'm angry, and there's a smile on my face
I'm lazy, when I know there's work to do
I'm lonely, and I know that you are too
Every time you're in the room you make me feel so small
Your hair is always in its place, it looks unusual
You never miss a chance to find a mirror on the wall
All you see is beautiful and think you know it all
Well,
I'm sexy, I don't look the way I feel
I'm angry, and there's a smile on my face
I'm lazy, when I know there's work to do
I'm lonely, and I know that you are too
Listen to me please and I will give you some advice
I'll say it very carefully, I won't repeat it twice
The way you treated me was mean and never justified
Someday you'll be old and then you'll have to pay the price
Because
I'm sexy, I don't look the way I feel
I'm angry, and there's a smile on my face
I'm lazy, when I know there's work to do
I'm lonely, and I know that you are too

All Through The Night
03:25
|
|||
Everybody sit right down and listen to me
Listen people, gather round there’s something to see
Sister, sister, no one’s gonna hurt you tonight
Oh my brother, give your love with all of your might
Don’t you know things will be alright
I will be there with you all through the night
Little darling, don’t you be afraid of the night
Don’t you cry, it’s okay to turn out the light
Little baby, nothing’s gonna harm you tonight
Close your eyes, daddy’s home now everything’s right
Don’t you know things will be alright
I will be there with you all through the night
The world keeps changing and you ought to know
There’s no explaining why it hurts you so
No one understands me like you do
I’m leaving today, you want me to stay
I don’t know what to do
Everybody, get together, do what is right
Stand up tall, gather round and follow the light
If you fall, don’t give up the fight
I will be there with you all through the night
Don’t you know things will be alright
I will be there with you all through the night
