A Thousand 02:52
Lay your weary heart In my hands Lay your weary head In my lap Well that could be a sweet thing For you I could carry you a thousand miles And I’d never ever bat an eye I’d never bat an eye I would squeeze your heart just to make it start I would shield you man just to make them stop Not like anyone Not like everyone else Well I would squeeze your heart just to make it start I would shield you man just to make them stop Not like anyone Not like everyone else Lay your weary heart In my hands I’ll never give it back Well that could be a sweet thing For you I could carry you a thousand I would carry you a thousand miles And never bat an eye (Won’t you tell me what you’d do) I could carry you a thousand (Won’t you tell me what you’d say to me) I would carry you a thousand miles And never bat an eye Never bat an eye

American Man 04:08
You got no money, no house look at you American man You're packin' your things and where the hell is Tehran? Baby slow down and breathe Just take my advice I know how to get you paid And still come home alive So baby baby Take that .45 And head down to the Citibank but don't stand in line Mama needs some fresh green Green apple pie An American man he never, never stops trying You got no car anymore, no credit to your name Now you're packin' again and what the hell's a Pyongyang Baby please don't go Just here me out one sec There's sweet sweet justice in this paycheck Baby, I can’t stand to watch you go again We’ve been through thick and this is the thinnest thin But there’s always hope on the horizon An American man he never stops trying (Oooh red white and blue) An American man he never stops trying

Child 02:42
All you see is just a child when you’re looking at me (Of course I am, I’m throwing sand) Child! Where were you? You should’ve called I was worried sick Child! What do I have to say to you To really make this stick? Child! Don’t cry til your hurt You’re such a mess So much stress And you’re wasting all my time You’re such a mess So much stress Don’t cry ‘til you’re hurt Child! Look up front Sit up straight You think it’s all a game Child! Sit up tall And clean your plate You’re driving me insane Child! Don’t cry ‘til you’re hurt

Well the devil gets my hips at night The devil gets my hips at night And I get no rest in the daytime And the gods are giving kisses like a virgin slut Gods show their panties, yeah they’re full of smut I can’t get no rest, no When the heavens treat me so What good is prayer tonight? Glory, glory What good is prayer tonight? Why shut my eyes up tight? What good is prayer tonight? I’m gonna dance dance tonight Dance! Tricks are out in the moonlight Making trouble in the moonlight Selling stars to the starlight and Gettin’ some well so am I Glory, glory

France 05:38
You are like a bird way up so high... (cher amour, je te delire) but, you don't have the wings to make a flight. If I knew French, I'd say "flee, fla, flay, le pew." I don't know what that means, but I still love you... (Je t'aime mon amie). You are like a rose blooming so proud... but, you don't have the thorns to cut my frown. If I knew French, I'd say "flee, fla, flay, le pew." I don't know what that means, but I still love you... (Je t'aime mon amie). And, if I tarnish my wings, I think that you would come and catch my flight. Turn around and leave these things, and maybe you would come and save my life. And, for a hand so sweet, you know I said I'd take the plunge... You are like a princess riding a carriage... but, you don't have political value in marriage. If I knew French, I'd say "flee, fla, flay, le pew." I don't know what that means, but I still love you... (Je t'aime mon amie). You are like a bird...

Gimme Gimme 03:56
You asked if I could lend an ear But you took mine last week You asked if I could lend a hand But you took mine last week You asked if I could give a shoulder to lean on You took it last week Once said that I could be your light ‘Cos your cigarette needs fire All you say is “Gimme gimme, Gimme gimme all of you.” “Yeah all of you” Everyone says your cheeks look rosy And you look great, you look great Everyone says you’re looking sunkissed And you look great, you look great You say that I should see how great you feel On the inside You’ve taken all my looks, my youth And a thank you would be nice I’m so tired of your trifles I just want some restful sleep Not wondering if you’re in too deep Well are you in too deep? I’m so tired of your trifles All you say is “Gimme gimme”

Ice Cream 02:49
My ice cream’s chocolate. My ice cream’s vanilla bean. My ice cream’s strawberry. Let’s make a sundae! I got the banana. I got the split. So don’t fudge this move, And let’s lick! Whipped whoopee cream I’ll scoop your dream Don’t forget those nuts! I want them way too much... And I’ll share my lot, We’ll put the cherry on top! Let’s make a sundae!

Institutions 02:43
So here we are Wind blows all around Sit, sleep, eat, drink, itch once in a while One tear to shed, I’m in over my head Think loud, be proud, talk once in a while But you don’t even know what it’s like to be Just estranged, 16 and so alone You don’t wanna know what it’s like to be me Don’t need your institutions now, As we face each other Think sweet breathe deep be so alone You don’t wanna know what it’s like to be free So catch me as I And I get scared Might be a little weird I fight with myself once in a while. Can’t act naturally Without the drugs that free I fight with my chain once in a while. And I fall down My dearest friend the ground I rise, I fall, breathe once in a while. I go to see what sets me free I stop and live for a while. One tear to shed I’m in over my head So catch me as I fall

I keep it simple Keep it easy Keep it cool Keep it simple you fool Wish I could remember you were more than a pretty face, But no. I don’t have the patience for poetry or embrace Oh no. I read it on A bookstore television When it hit me: Love’s no opinion Can’t keep you together, I’m simply fair-weather Uh-oh, oh no I’m not made to anchor you, not made to tether you No, you should know That I keep it simple

You never know happy if you’ve never been sad You never know wise if you’ve never been had You never know worry if you’ve never reminisced You never know lonely if you’ve never been kissed It’s your life on screen that hits more than your eye It’s a story so old, but it just won’t die Got your foot on the gas but you can’t catch a break When you’re eating a bag of bad apples for goodness’ sake If he can’t love you girl, then he can’t learn to love If she can’t love you man, then she can’t learn to love My neighborhood it is all settled down They walk around with a subtle frown And it’s no mystery why that may be They gave up-- don’t give up If he can’t love you, man, then he can’t learn to love If she can’t love you, girl, then she can’t learn to love If she can’t learn to love you, then she can’t learn to love If he can’t learn to love you, then he can’t learn to love "Encumbered as they are, They seem to be flying"

Possibly, my honeybee, quite honestly, why don’t you see, it won’t take long? ‘Cause if we get Go Coffee, I’d be sure to have you laughing in no time at all. We could wander by the water and pretend that Earl was no fantasy. All of this wandering has got me wanting you... I don’t care what they say About me girl ‘Cause I like everything about you and Oh, I see nothing wrong with us being, So why not take a little love for you? ‘Cause you know All kinds of weather, it keeps us together and La la la J-A-C-K-I-E, I’ve fallen for you hopelessly You’ve done me good ‘Cause if it were just up to me I’d make this world, all of this world, licorice free It don’t matter what they say As long as I’ve got my J.J. I’ll be just fine. So Martha hears, but she don’t mind I’ve fallen, fallen for you…

Run for cover, little darling Run from your lover ‘cos he’s hiding something Underneath the floorboards and underneath the stairs He’s sniffing through your closets and keeping bits of hair Underneath the floorboards and underneath the stairs He’s watching while you’re dreaming and giving you nightmares Run for your mother Run for your brothers Run for your sisters and round up all the others Looking for that search torch Searching for that pitchfork We’re running out of time, it’s down to the wire Run for your mother Run for your brothers Run for your sisters and round up all the others Looking for that pitchfork

Talk Talk 03:25
You make my color run high, you make my blood stand still You make my temperature rise, you make my voice go shrill You make me nervous so I Talk talk talk Talk til I feel a fool “Hey how’s your day, is it going your way?” I can feel my color rising, I can feel my blood just rising Up, up, up to my face What more can I say? “Hey, can you believe this rain?” My mouth just keeps on running And I just keep on trying to go and spit some game What more can I say? Words won’t stop They get in the way And I don’t know What to say Words won’t stop They get in the way I don’t know What to say You make my color run high, you make my blood stand still My temperature rises and then it goes shrill

There's Fire 03:39
We get our legs tangled and our hearts mangled And our bodies open with our skin on fire Pretend it’s all a game when another comes our way Pretend it’s all okay when another gets in the way Pretend our hearts are steady rather than speak out loud Pretend our hearts are steady rather than scream out loud Ignore that where there’s smoke there’s fire Pretend our hearts are steady rather than scream out loud Ignore that drumming in your chest, no don’t you ever sound it You keep that feeling to yourself because we’ll never stand it Pretend it’s all okay and we never rock the boat Pretend it’s all okay it’s the only way to cope Ignore that where there’s smoke there’s fire Ignore that where there’s smoke there’s Well there There’s fire
