SALTY
Salty, salty for you
Salty, I'll play the fool
Yes, everything is a mess
Everything is no good
Everything is too late
Or too cool for school
Nobody understands
Everybody’s rude
Nobody knows
How this gets old, old, old to me
Careful, careful 'bout you
Careful, or I lose you too
Yes, I'm a part of your scam
I'm a part of your zoo
I'm your bitch, I'm your man
Tell me what to do
We can go anywhere
Say and we'll be there
We'll eat what we what
Till hearts are full, full, hearts are full
Salty, salty, salty for you
Salty, salty, I'll play the fool

Difficult But True

DIFFICULT BUT TRUE
Is there more
Is the writing on the wall
Everything that could go wrong
Ten feet tall
What happens now
Do I give in or do I walk
Do I fold or do I show my hand
With nothing at all
Difficult but true
to a life that's you
Such a mess
Such a shame there's no recess
From the sham that you are comfortable
Comfortable with men
Difficult but true
to a life that's you
Never once could I go
with the flow, the flow
Bottoms up and
on with the show
Goodbye girl
You have made my whole world
You have ended my adolescence
That I know
Difficult but true
to a life that's you

Edna's Got a Pistol

EDNA'S GOT A PISTOL
Edna's got a pistol
And she's gonna use it on herself
Decide her time was over
It's been such hell
There will never be a good time
She knows that she would stall with half the chance
Like a gamble real life
Big's a lost romance
Oh in 1999 she'll be seventeen
Edna made it right didn't stall
But I wish she did
Thought that she was okay
Thought it's just the grades that was bringing her down
We all made a mistake
We let her down
If I could turn back time
If I could love her once again
Would it make a difference
Gotta make a difference
Oh in 1999 she'll be seventeen
Edna made it right didn't stall
But I wish she did
With a finger wrapped around a trigger gun
to the skull with a click, and then the moment is set
every second's a drag, so let it end
Oh in 1999 she'll be seventeen
Edna made it right didn't stall
But I wish she did

It's a Lonely Winter

IT'S A LONELY WINTER
Suffer all you little children
Those who enjoy the silence
Beneath the stone cold tablet
Awaken all your senses now
Won’t you reconsider
Your senses now
It’s a lonely winter
All saints and the heathens
Prepare to meet armageddon
You can’t run to no mountains
Awaken all your senses now
Won’t you reconsider
Your senses now
It’s a lonely winter
Farther into the ether
To the promise of the unknown
We go closer to the answer
to what makes us whole
Going, we’re going deeper
Into the depths of unrelenting cold
We are broken, bereft of armor
We live and breathe alone

TOKYO
Doesn't matter where we go
Everything is slowing down my way
There's nowhere I got to be
Nothing I got to see
It's all in my head
Lost in Tokyo
I'm drifting with the flow
Going where the bodies are wanting me
I'm just a part of the show
No meaning of my own
It always meant to be
Jostling with the crowd
The voices are getting louder day by day
I thought I heard my name
Didn't turn just walked away, just walked away
Lost in Tokyo
I'm drifting with the flow
Going where the bodies are wanting me
I'm just a part of the show
No meaning of my own
It always meant to be

I Could Hurt You
02:05

I COULD HURT YOU
You say that I could hurt you
Say you don't even care
You'll love how you want to
Love on a dare
You say there is no meaning
If pain isn't found
You’ll cut your heart open
If I stuck around
If I stuck around
If I stuck around
If I stuck around
Make everything whole
Everything whole
Everything whole
Make everything whole
A dance for a soul
Never wanna be okay
Don’t want the sunshine
Never wanna be just great
pretending I’m all right
You say you are broken
You say never mind
Soon it’ll be over
We'll leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
We'll leave them all behind

JOAN
On the day which just happened to be my birthday
A shooting star from the far east came down my way
The room was dark and filled with a thousand tales
Revolving around a girl with eyes that kill
I admit I'm afraid I wanna hold you tight
Your boyfriend might come running punch out my lights
Still I'll be anywhere I feel with you
Perfection is possible if you feel too
Mmm Mmm Oh Joan
Sure feels like home
Baby walk with me let's realize no finer time
Today we shall throw the past away
How'll it be, what you say, am I the one
Do our hearts speak the same tongue
I'm aware that I'm so far from perfect
I'm not there just as yet
Oh Joan, stop the run
Could I could I could I be the one
I'll be the mirror for your light
I'll be the river when you cry
If you will
If you will have me
Mmm Mmm Oh Joan
Sure feels like home
Baby walk with me let's realize no finer time
Today we shall throw the past away

THE KIDS WILL NEVER DANCE
Medical
Medically strange
Technical
Technically straight
Californ
She’s a California babe
Catch the tide
It’s summer in LA
The sunshine
Perpetually gay
Gather round
Love harder than you hate
Who knows
Where does the love go
When it’s all over
when the heart turns cold
To the beginning
Beginning of longing
Back to the illusion
Illusion of meaning
Happenstance
Happens all at once
Indifference
Indie kids will flunk
save your hopes
The kids will never dance
Lose the shoes
Politeness is a ruse

VIOLENCE
Violence, Violence, Violence
Violence, Violence, Violence
Know it's murder if you hurt her
Know it's murder if you try
To be anything but the nicest guy
Living an uninteresting life
Know it's murder if you touch her
Know it's murder if you dare
To be anything but the gentlest guy
Living an anodyne life
Violence, Violence, Violence
Violence, Violence, Violence
Know it's murder if you falter
Know it's murder if you slide
And be anything but the sweetest guy
Living an undramatic life
So we go, slow
Now she's home
Violence, Violence, Violence
Violence, Violence, Violence

Misery & Gloom

MISERY & GLOOM
Old I'm getting old
But no older than my folks, that I've been told
Am no older than the man who’s in my mind
Or this boy inside
Dance a little dance
Or we'll disappear if given half the chance
Given half the chance to take a hold on you
That's misery and gloom
Misery and gloom
Damn this misery and gloom
What you hear is true
Misery and gloom
Hands are shaking
I'm left wanting
Words are failing
Words have lost meaning, lost all meaning
Legs are holding
to a habit
I'm still standing
Or is just illusion, just an illusion
No one's in the room
Just misery and gloom
What you fear is true
Misery and gloom
Write another a tune, and soak in the blues
Am no wiser still with no clue
of a thing to do
No don't hold me, no don't tell me, I'm your guy
There are reasons upon reasons and you know why
It's your projection of a future I can't see
I’m in pieces leave me be
Don't confuse me, don't abuse me, I'm not strong
I'm barely sleeping, barely waking, something's wrong
I'm just a product of my own sick fantasies
I'm delusional but free

LOST THE WAR
Gone since he lost the war
He's gently moving
to the home that he knew before
Before the rage
Gone since he lost it all
to his children
who have grown and now standing tall
over his days
He's got a secret oh he'll tell you
He's building a home away from home
It's not much but it's his castle a world away
When duty ends that's where he'll stay
Far from obligation
Far from your kind judgement
They can't believe it, Dad's got a woman
They can't believe it, Dad's in love
God awful kids who think that nobody can replace
Mother oh mother would she say
If happiness is true
She'll be happy without you
Caught sending love across the ocean
Caught sending love without a clause
Has father lost his mind

Bye Bye Love

BYE BYE LOVE
It's true, that everything about you
can describe to say
everything about me
So I, am glad I did not try
To be a different guy
Cos if I did then it's goodbye
Bye bye love
Bye bye us
Bye bye I
Don't wanna be away
Wanna be the same
Wanna be the one who loves you
Don't wanna be the fool
Who had it good
Don't wanna change a thing
No butterfly wing
Will make me lose the chance of
You knowing me, knowing you
We try, it's not perfect all the time
After all we're people too
A mess of blob and goo
So we go, and get on with the show
One life only
Starring us with everyone we told
There are no rules
We'll leave no clues behind
We'll brush the world aside
Bye bye love
Bye bye us
Bye bye I
Don't wanna be away
Wanna be the same
Wanna be the one who loves you
Don't wanna be the fool
Who had it good
Don't wanna change a thing
No butterfly wing
Will make me lose the chance of
You knowing me, knowing you
