Album Lyrics
A Little Bit of Wisdom
A little bit of wisdom at the side of the road
It says be kind to your neighbours
It isn’t as if it’s something I didn’t already know
But it’s nice to be reminded
Gets me thinking about the woes of the world, man
Maybe I’ll end world hunger
Some would say it’s impossible
But even impossible things, are still worth trying
Chorus
And there will be summer days too sweet to explain
Rain, when you’re inside anyway
Flowers and wishes, true love and kisses
And the intelligence to know when you see
A little bit of wisdom, at the side of the road.
Saw a girl at the side of the road
Looked like she had been crying
She says I’m waiting for this bus for so long and I’m getting old
She says don’t wanna look back at the things that I’ve done
And say man, I coulda been something
Still, all my dreams are impossible
I say impossible things are still worth trying
Chorus
Bridge
She says that I don’t believe you
She says that I see right through you
With all this fighting I can’t pick out the lies
I say that you gotta have faith
I say that you gotta survive
Everything bad will eventually end
And it looks like your bus has arrived
Chorus
Sex and the City Girl
Verse
She is, a sex and the city girl
And he is a Seinfeld guy
She thinks that they’re in love
But there’s no love
In sight
Pre-Chorus
He hates to break her heart
But that’s the way he’s made
Chorus
And now he’s killed the leading role
And that’s not how things should be
Guys are not like that
He saw it on TV
And now she thinks her life is shit
She doesn’t get it so she cries
Cause she’s a Sex and the City Girl
And he’s a Seinfeld Guy
Verse
He is, feeling bad tonight
Because he doesn’t care and she’s crying
Thing is that life’s too short
And his friends say she’s a hoar
But he thinks that she’s nice
Pre-Chorus
He hates to break her heart
But that’s the way he’s made
Chorus
And now he’s killed her season two
But she was asking for too much
She was looking for true love
But he just wanted touch
And now she thinks her life is shit
She doesn’t get it so she cries
Cause she’s a sex and the city girl
And he’s a Seinfeld guy
Solo
Chorus
And now he’s killed the leading role
But she was asking for too much
She was looking for true love
But he just wanted touch
And now she thinks her life is shit
She doesn’t get it so she cries
Cause she’s a sex and the city girl
And he’s a Seinfeld guy
Take it Slowly
Verse
I’m busting bottles filled with wine
I’m burning bridges but I’m running out of time
Kinda poppy, stealthy cocky, waiting for my ride
Pre-chorus
For 5 years I’ve been three inches short of a two timing son of a uh, what?
Chorus:
Take it, oh not gonna fake it, oh and if we make it, oh I think that we can shake it out
And we chased it, oh can almost taste it, oh but if we waste it, oh I think that we can shake it out
Figure what it’s all about
Chew me up and spit me out
But if you gonna stay you better Dance Dance Dance Dance
Take it slowly, take it slowly, take it slowly now
Verse
My heart is ticking out of time
I’m loving living but I’m driven out of line
Try to shock me, stalk me stalk me
Rub me make me shine
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
I used to know a rock superstar
Like a prince turning into a toad
He was hip he was hot he could sing like a bird
Now he sings at the side of the road
He used to have a band loved chick love fan club
Touched every girl I know
But now he sits at home and he touches himself man
I gotta take it slow
Chorus
I’m Awake
They say this life is like
A broken heart, and a work of art
And I’m working hard to break this down
So you can understand
See there is violence on the outside
There’s madness trapped within
And I’m trying not, to fuck this up, again
Pre-chorus
It’s a dwindling road that we travel on
Every Friday we’re singing the same damn song
It’s not life, it’s a girl that I’m running from
Chorus
And I am
Running late, there’s a phone that’s ringing I should answer
Just great, just another trick to this disaster
I’m reaching out like a drowning girl
I’m awake, I’m awake, I’m gone
They say the people are learning
That this sidewalk is burning
With a drug, that we can’t live without
I’m gonna get all mad in a bold faced font
I’m gonna write that book about the things that I want
Cause from my heart, I’ll stake my part today
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
They say I must be crazy to love *6
I don’t believe what I’m feeling
Stranger than things that I’m seeing
Breaking but never believing
This could be a break down
I will stand and lose control
I will break my heart and never know
Cause from my heart, I’ll stake my part today
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Love in a Little Grey Box
Hey there friend can I bum a smoke
Not to use but to sell cause you see I’m broke
There’s this brand new device and I’ve got to receive it
Cause the man on the TV screen says that I need it
Uh huh huh
Chorus:
It’s like a new age
Betty page
No doubt about it
It’s like a microwave dance craze
Can’t live without it
It’s like a path from my spirit
To my soul
It’s like love in a little grey box
Hey there girl do you have the time
Well I do to and I’m, telling you that your
Watch is fine
Now that we’re in a conversation I’d like to tell you that
I think your hair is really pretty
And your eyes are really nice
And I’d really like to spend the day with you
I could sing for you
Is that cool with you
Is that
And she says: Uh huh huh
Chorus
The Player’s Lament
I call a strange girl, and I wait for the tone,
how awfully bad, how terribly forward
I call myself but I know I’m not home,
how wretchedly sad, how perfectly backward
I take a knife pull it out of my back,
and save all the people that I can
Everyone tells me to just be myself,
but no one can tell me who I am
Chorus
If you want to be understood, understand
It’s not just a flat piece of wood, it’s a plan
That says that you love me for all that I am
I leave my house and I put on my mask
Put gel in my hair, wear my expensive pants
I’m cocky and flashy and smooth as her skin
And because of her skin
I look in her eyes and I tell her I’m gorgeous
And it seems she look back and believe’ me
I wish that I could just act like myself
But if I did then she wouldn’t see me
Chorus
I am changing
To what she made me
You can’t change me back
I am changing, you can’t save me
I will fade to black
I call a strange girl and I wait for the tone
How wretchedly sad, how perfectly backwards
If you want to be understood, understand
It’s not just a flat piece of wood, it’s a plan
That says that you love me for all that I am
The man behind the mask
I’ve Got Time
I Got Time
This metallic taste that’s in my mouth
Does it mean I’m dying
I’m paranoid delusional
Neurotic but I’m trying
The doctor looks me up and down
And say’s I’ll be ok
And though I’m not quite certain
I believe him anyway
Chorus
Well I got time
This chaotic taste that’s all around
Does it mean we’re dying
We’re paranoid, delusional,
Neurotic but we’re trying
Bono’s fist flies through the air
He says we’ll be ok
And though he’s just a rockstar
I believe him anyway
Bridge
An hearts can be broken
Alex: It doesn’t happen often
I’m looking for love
Alex: It happens all the time
It’s hard to believe that
Alex: It’s hard but believe that
Both: Believe that I
Chorus
