I Don't Mind

I never wanted to waste my time.

Somewhere it happened.

I don't mind.

My only wish

My secret dream

Leaning sideways

In the stream of my mind.

There it is

Standing tall

But it's so high it might fall.

But I don't mind.

Sometimes things just happen.

We don't figure it out

And we don't try to explain.

You read me wrong

By things I don't say.

If we try to describe it

It just takes too long.

Have it all

Take mine too

You made me feel it

It belongs to you.

But I don't mind.

Cloudy days make you smile

Walking with

You leading all the while.

Cool breeze blows a doubt

Chilling

In the midst of...

There it is

Standing tall

But it's so high it might fall

But I don't mind.

Right or wrong it just makes sense

Playing games like "Mental Defense"

But I don't mind.

The Train Song

I can hear the train now.

I can feel the rain now.

Leave the City behind...

It wasn't the grease,

It wasn't the grime.

It was just time.

It was just time.

I can hear the train now.

Going to L.A. now.

Leave the City behind

I can hear the train now

I can feel the rain now

Now is just the time

It's just the time.

I can hear the train now.

I can feel the rain now.

Leave the City behind...

It wasn't the grease,

It wasn't the grime.

It was just time.

It was just time.

Troubled Boy

Troubled Boy

Why are you so troubled?

Out of time

That's how the tension bubbled away

That's how the tension guzzled away

Troubled Boy

Why are you so troubled?

High and tight

That's how the boyfriend nuzzled your mane

I gotta say it took my pain away...

ahhh

ahhh

ahhhhhhh

Troubled Boy

Why are you so troubled?

Out of time

It makes the soft sun shiver away

It makes the soft sun shiver away

La di dat dat dah

La di dat dat dah

Pink Noise!

I'll tell you about my situation
I'm coming down like a prediction
And I can't care if you don't get me
Not my Fault that you can't see

All the work it's taking me
just to step aside and be
something else than indie rock
not quite dance / not quite pop

Something that you all can get down to
Something that we just threw to you
Alls I know is when you move
Shake it out into the groove

And All I know is not too much
But we all have the midas touch
All I wanna hear
All I wanna hear
All I wanna hear

PINK NOISE!


Talking about my own frustration
Not too easy in this station
Second Class? Your Ass!
Come in first like it's your worst

Take it from me/ Take it slow
Easily or the pain won't go
Slow it down man, here's my stop
I'm leaving you with electric pop
Electric Pop
Electric Pop

All I wanna hear
All I wanna hear

PINK NOISE!

Despite Straight Lines

It’s the feeling you get

When you want to forget

All the things that you did

All the things that you said

And you wanna go back

Make a left not a right

And you’re left in the dark

And there’s no going back

There’s no going back

Despite straight lines

Things Are Turning Around

I’m after you

You know that it’s true

I’m after you

I’m after you

Cause you don’t look my way

You don’t look my way

Maybe today

You’ll look my way

Things are turning around

Things are turning around

By looking down (without a sound)

Things are turning around

Cause you’re after me

Now let me see

Do I really care?

Did I change my stare

Now you look my way

Now you look my way

But can I maybe say

Please don’t look my way

We only want what others got

We only want what we can’t have

We only want what others got

Now

Things are turning around

Things are turning around

By looking down (without a sound)

Things are turning around

What do you want give it to me

Down

let me be, let me be

I don't want your arms around me

let me be, let me be

I don't want to bring you down

let me be, let me be

I don't want your arms around me

let me be, set me free

I don't mean to bring you down

There are some things I could've said

That I have said before

But I don't think it's been that long

Since I said them to you

There are things

I know I said that I will say again

But I can talk until it's dark

But that won't bring you back

HMMMMMM

let me be, let me be

I don't need your arms around me

let me be, let me be

I don't want to bring you down

let me be, let me be

I don't need your arms around me

let me be, set me free

I don't mean to bring you down

There are some things I never said

And now I wonder why

But I don't think it means that much

If you heard them from me

Maybe if I called you up

But then again maybe not

Now I'm going crazy with every “what if” thought

I don't mean to be pushy

But I may just have to be

Questions are unanswered

Phrases never done

And I don't need any comfort

The bitter cold's my friend

We all have a full life-sentence

Sometimes longer

Sometimes short

Sometimes short

let me be, let me be

Bur wrap your arms around me

let me be, let me be

Even though it brings you down

let me be, let me be

But leave your arms around me

let me be, set me free

I don't mean to bring you down...

The Burden of Bad Dreams

There's nothing you can do to save me

There's nothing you can do to change me

There's nothing you can do

For the things I'm going through

Nothing you can do to save me

There's nothing you can do to shame me

Cause I'm my own worst enemy

NO way to survive

To keep the hope alive

Nothing you can do to shame me

It's the burden of bad dreams

Fighting for my justice

Fighting for my will

Takes some getting used to

A “jagged little pill”

Spin me round

On your shoulder

So I can see

The footprints of giants

It's the burden of bad dreams

There's nothing you can do to save me

There's nothing you can do to change me

There's nothing you can do

For the things I'm going through

Nothing you can do to save me.

There's nothing you can do to shame me

Cause I'm my own worst enemy

NO way to survive

To keep the hope alive

Nothing you can do to shame me

It's the burden of bad dreams

It's Free

Another invitation to my life

Share my joy, share my strife.

Everybody doing what they do.

Everybody chasing their own scene.

And the closest that I've found

Like a star that's fallen down.

It's the natural chemistry

that flows from you to me.

And it's free.

Look around see who you know.

We're all on stage in our own show.

Yr the greatest yr the best.

Better than the rest.

And the closest that I've found

Like a star that's fallen down

It's the psychic ability

that flows from you to me.

And it's free.

I Have A Voice

I have a voice I have a voice

I have no choice I have a voice

Inside my head, won't let me stay in BED

Gets me up

Wakes me up

I'm up!

I have a voice I have a voice

I have no choice I have a voice

Inside my head, won't let me stay in BED

Gets me up

Wakes me up

I'm up!

I didn't say it was a bad thing

I didn;t say it was good

I didn;t say it was a bad thing

OH! wish I could....

have a voice I have a voice

I have no choice I have a voice

Inside my head, won't let me stay in BED

Gets me up

Wakes me up

I'm up!

Something to Say

Seems so long since we’ve been together

I’m sick of phones and I’m sick of the weather

I wanna be your only boy

I wanna be your favorite toy now

I’ve got something to say

Something to say

My way

I’ve got something to say

Something to say

My way

Seems so long seems so long seems so long

Since you’ve been gone

Seems so long seems so long seems so long

What went wrong? (am I that strong?)

Not so long since we were together

I know it’s wrong but it feels like forever

I want you back and I want you now

We can make it I know how

I am invisible

Divisible

Miserable

I am invisible

Divisible

Miserable

I’ve got something to say

Something to say

My way

I’ve got something to say

Something to say

My way

If We Only Could Find A Way

I'm locked inside throw up your walls in front of me

I can see through you

My fingers burn it's like a painful memory

I can't shake it

Here in my dreams never thought it'd happen

Tear through my screams hope that they don't get me

There's misty air its getting hard to breathe at all

Will they ever leave

My chest explodes with every word you throw at me

I know I'm bruising

Here in my dreams never thought it'd happen

Tear through my screams hope that they don't get me

My temples pound but I can breathe again right now

I'm an empty pocket

A hollow sound it makes my shoulders shake so much

I guess i'll lie

Here in my dreams never thought it'd happen

Tear through my screams hope that they don't get me

Silent and deadly they wanna hurt me

Run up behind me don't want the money

I'm in a circle there's about five

I'm all alone and I wanna live

Down on the pavement blood on my forehead

Hateful words that only discourage

I'm on the sidewalk I'm in a chalk mark

Photographs of hospital trash

If we only could find a way...

Back My Way

I can't believe this

It's come this far

I'm doing all the things we talked about

I can't believe this

You can't share in it

Or maybe you can

Who knows the plan

I'm always missing you

It won't go away

I'm always missing you

Even though I know

Missing you won't bring you back my way

It can only delay.

Kords

It's gettting hard now

The tears in my eyes

It's gettting hard now

How many lies?

When will I ever learn

That nobody cares

Why can't I understand

Why nobody dares to love.

Let Go Of Andrew

Let go of Andrew

Cause he only represents bad times.

Think that you've had enough sad times?

Let go of Andrew somehow.

Let go of Andrew cause he has a really bad hairdo.

and i hear now.  he's been sniffin' gloo.

Let go of Andrew right now

c'mon and Let go of Andrew some how

Let go of Andrew right now

fuckin' Let go of Andrew somehow...

Go Away

There's a voice on the T.V.

And some shit in the paper

Trying to tell me to go away.

A little knock at the window

A silent whisper that I know

Trying to tell me to go away.

The only one that saved me

He has gone away,

he's been forced away.

The only one I know.

The only one that saved me

He has gone away

He's been forced away.

I'm free to live my life.

You're free to beat your wife.

Thank you, but I'm free.

I'm paying for my life

You're still fighting with your wife.

Thank you, but I'm free.

Thank you, but I'm free.

There's a letter that I found

A postcard from London, and a fogginess everywhere.





A dirty picture that you took,

Attached to a scrap book

And a feeling of emptiness....

The only one that saved me.

He has gone away,

he's been forced away.


The only one I know.


The only one that saved me


He has gone away


He's been forced away.

I like to take it slow

No matter where I go

Thank you I agree

Using up my time.

Spending all my pieces

Thank you for the time

And the dreams you shared with me.

Take

 

Kurt's hurt thay say. 

Believe it either way. 

It's getting worse. 

Perverse. 

My friend died too. 

In a pencil case or two. 

Let's not exploit. 

What's the point? 

It's hard to hold a memory 

when it's stuck in your head like pornography. 

It's hard to hold a memory at all. 

Yes, it's hard to kiss a photograph. 

Press your lips onto a sheet of glass. 

Take it away. 

What's the point? 

Things always change. 

Train ride today 

can wash my grey away. 

A sparrow tries,

then flies. 

Spain looks real good, 

like a pajarito should. 

My skin is tan; a radiation ban. 

It's hard to hold a memory 

when it's stuck in your head like pornography. 

It's hard to hold a memory at all. 

Yes, it's hard to kiss a photograph. 

Press your lips onto a sheet of glass. 

Take it away. 

What's the point? 

Things always change. 

Things change, I know. 

So, how the hell am I supposed to grow? 

Take it away. I'm a Blank. Write on my soul. 

Take it away. I'm a Blank. 

Write on my soul. 

Take, take, take. Lah-dah-da-dah. 

Half the Problem

Maybe you’re hurt.

Maybe you’re not.

Maybe you don’t give a shit about anybody else.

(Just a thought.)

It comes from inside.

It has to come out. 

It builds up inside. 

I think that’s half the problem. 

 

Maybe you’re scared. 

Maybe you’re sad. 

Maybe you’re so fucked up that no one could help you even if you wanted them to. 

Maybe you’re a brat. 

Too spoiled too. 

Maybe you need an ass whuppin’ 

and I’m the one to give it to you. 

Something inside pulling me down.

I think that's half the problem!

A Bee's Dream

I can feel it getting stronger, 

I can feel it getting hard. 

It’s an obvious reaction.

I want to make sure who you are. 

I can feel it getting longer, 

I can feel it getting thick. 

It’s an obvious reaction,

but it almost makes you sick. 

Down deep below the ocean. 

Down deep below the ground.

Down deep below the ocean I make no sound. 

I want to see you in a bee’s dream. 

All lit up like Christmas Day. 

Your angelic reputation took ‘em all to worlds away.

Let’s all think on past existence. 

Let’s pretend as if we’re there. 

It’s as if we’re all interested. 

It’s as if we all care. 

Down deep below the ocean. 

Down deep below the ground.

Down deep below the ocean I make no sound.

So Tired

Aren't you tired of everything? 

Aren't you tired of complaining? 

I see you can't see what I mean. 

What makes you tired? 

Well mostly I'm tried 

of being so gaddamned being so gaddamned tired. 

Are you sick of everyone? 

Don't you wish you were the only one? 

I'm confused to what you need. 

What makes you tired? 

Well mostly I'm tried 

of being so gaddamned 

being so gaddamned tired. 

Most of the time I steal your health. 

Last of all silver bells. 

I bent my mop hook. 

I bent it dry. 

I wanted something new for us to try. 

Don't get excited. 

Don't get mad 

if I tell you 'bout the time I kissed my Dad. 

I'm only trying to find my place. 

I don't win. I don't race. 

Looky here!  HA!

Who Are You?

I play the cheater. 

I play the snake. 

I am the Liar.

I am the Lion on the Floor.

I want More. Who are you? 

(Let's go!) Lah-dee-dah. Lah-dee-darling. 

I can tell the both of you are standing apart a few. 

I'm not asking. You say so much.

I play Repeater. 

I play. I wank.

I am vanilla. 

I am the Pillow out the Door. 

I want More. 

Who are you? (Let's go!) 

Thank you. 

Thank you in a love song. 

Thank you in a love song right now, that I'm singing.

R.S.V.P. for two...

I've Been Alone

I've been alone on my own

For too long now.

I'm standing in the sun, so you'll see me.

I'm awake now.

And when you see me,

I hope you'll wanna be me!

I've been alone

Sitting in the dark and burning candles

I've been alone

I've heard more Smiths than I can handle.

It's so Modern Rock

As we sit on the phone and talk

But I've been alone...

I got a tattoo on my ankle

Like Sybil did.

The Pet Shop Boys are playing

For the Boys, I wish I did.

And when you see me

I know you'll wanna be me!

I've been alone

Sitting in the dark and burning candles

I've been alone

I've heard more Smiths than I can handle!

It's so Modern Rock

As we sit on the phone and talk

But, I've been alone.

Old School Dance

The neighborhood is pretty good

For getting down, this part of town.

They're looking good down on Collingwood.

Look at what they got, they drop it like it's hot.

They do the shimmy-shake, do the earthquake.

Go the up and down-low, the outbound.

Oh pretty baby, won't you give me a chance?

Let me show you an old school dance.

One you've never seen 'cause it's pretty mean

Cause I'm laying it out, I'm a dancing queen.

Oh pretty baby, won't you give me a chance?

Let me show you an old school dance.

You'll like it!

You'll like it like that, uh-huh!

Oooo ooo ooo, uh-huh!

Midnight Sun, for everyone.

I feel the night, such delight.

Breathe it in, all the skin.

The pressure's on until dawn.

You wanna dance, wanna take a chance?

The motion makes your temples ache.

We're hanging out, we know the score.

From gymnasium, to the book store.

Oh pretty baby, won't you give me a chance?

Let me show you an old school dance.

One you've never seen 'cause it's pretty mean

Cause I'm laying it out, I'm a dancing queen.

Oh pretty baby, won't you give me a chance?

Let me show you an old school dance.

You'll like it!

You'll like it like that, uh-huh!

Oooo ooo ooo, uh-huh!

Baby, set this place on fire!

Special Sound

You can't walk the walk I walk.

You can't talk the way I talk.

You can't change it all around.

You can't make the special sound.


You can't feel the things I feel.

You can't know my touch is real.

You can run my program now.

You can make the special sound.


I can change direction now.

I can change my colour now.

I can run my program now.

I can make the special sound.


You can't walk the walk I walk.

You can't talk the way I talk.

You can't change it all around.

You can't make the special sound.

There's No Place in My Heart For You

You dirty little switch!

You got the best of me.

You ran the test on me

Like you detested me.

I never seen it coming, like a tidal wave.

Don't know who to save, know that you're to blame!

You took a trip and hit your head

Falling into bed, feeling all well-fed.

You stepped into the light and then I seen your face.

What a total waste.

But look who's making space.

Look who's moving on.

Look who's getting along.

There's no place in my heart for you.

There's no place in my heart for you.

I treated you so good.

I gave you my heart and you ripped it apart.

Now, there's no place in my heart for you.

There's no place in my heart for you.

The thing that really gets to me, is the simplicity of everybody.

You go and think you know a friend, but all that ends.

Now everywhere you go, you wanna be alone.

And you're just full-grown.

Lesson's here but all I've learned, is all that burns.

Look who's moving along.

Look who's getting strong.

There's no place in my heart for you.


There's no place in my heart for you.

I treated you so good, you're so misunderstood.

There's no place in my heart for you.

There's no place in my heart for you.

You made me a fool...

Me!

There's no place in my heart for you.

There's no place in my heart for you.

There's no place in my heart for you.


There's no place in my heart for you.



(or the likes of you!)

Crossfire Hero

I can't take this anymore!

I've got a bulls eye on my forehead.

The rush seemed risky, rushed and sore,

With a bulls eye on my forehead.

I'm glad to be alive, glad to be inside, without a bullet in my forehead.

But where do we go from here?

Crossfire, the shape of things.

Crossfire, the shape of dreams.

So, I'm on a planetary shore.


I got my navigator ally.

I hope that we hope for so much more.

I got my navigator ally.

But where do we go from here?

Crossfire, the shape of things.

Crossfire, the shape of dreams.

Crossfire! Crossfire!

Why don't you love the hero?

Why don't you love the hero?

Why don't you love the hero?

Why don't you love the hero?

I can't take this anymore!

I've got a bulls eye on my forehead.

Oh! But where do we go?


Crossfire, the shape of things.

Crossfire, the shape of dreams.

Crossfire! Crossfire!

Why don't you love the hero?


Why don't you love the hero?

Why don't you love the hero?


Why don't you love the hero?

Oh! Where do we go?

Crossfire the shape of things.

Crossfire, the shape of dreams.

Crossfire! Crossfire!

Why don't you love the hero?


Why don't you love the hero?

Why don't you love the hero?


Why don't you love the hero?

Gobsmacked

Your sugar tastes like candy.

Sometimes it tastes like mud.

But your sugar tastes like candy, today.

You!

The reason I'm breathing.

You!

The reason I'm leaving.

I'm sweet enough. I'm sweet.

Your sugar tastes like candy.

Sometimes it tastes like mud.

But your sugar tastes like candy, mixes with my blood.

I'm sweet enough. I'm so sweet.

Cause I'm sweet enough. I'm so sweet.

Your sugar tastes like candy.

Sometimes it tastes like mud.

But your sugar tastes like candy, today.

I'm sweet enough.

I said,  "I'm sweet!"

What Shall I Do?

We're a delicious invitation.

To every civilized nation.

It's really gonna happen now.

It's really gonna happen now.

Never leave me.

Please take me home.

Right about now, I wanna say.

Sometimes grey cats, come your way.

It's really gonna happen now.

It's really gonna happen now.

Don't ever leave me, please take me home.

A bright light shines on you both, you know.

And each thing you do, makes me more proud to know you.

It's really gonna happen now.

I think it's really gonna happen now.

Just never leave me, yeah, please take me home.

If you leave me, what shall I do?

Noise (Is She Still Punk Rock?)

I've made a decision, to be in the incision.

One of the germs, one of the sperms.

I've made a decision, to be in your in incision.

One of the boys, part of the noise!

Tell me, tell me. "Is she still punk rock?"

Tell me, tell me, tell me. "Is she still punk rock?"

(repeat)

All the Way

You suck!

And I'm jealous of your girlfriend.

And the way she just came in, and whisked you away.

Well that's not, a very fair assessment.

But it's a big adjustment, they thought you were stray...

All the way.

I'm sad, and it's a dour reflection.

So pardon my affection.

It happened one day.

I'm glad, that I had a smidgeon.

A grungy little pigeon, till you flew away.

All the way.

2, 3, Well, you suck!

And I'm jealous of your girlfriend.

And the way she just came in, and whisked you away.

Well that's not, a very fair assessment.

But it's a big adjustment, they thought you were stray...

All the way.

Something's Happening

...It's a sinking feeling, right now. 

 Kind of like i'm bleeding inside. 

 I want to... I want to... 

All I know is something's happening. 

Take me where there's something happening. 

All the bullshit all paid off I feel it coming.

It can't come too soon. 

All I know is something's happening. 

Take me where there's something happening. 

I need a place to hang my star.

I feel it coming. It can't come too soon. 

All I know is something's happening. 

I would die if something happened. 

Take it out and wipe it off. 

I feel it coming. 

It can't come too soon.

Easy Disco

Easy Disco

Easy Night.

If it feels good, if it feels right.

There he is, crystal clear man of the year.

Here we go again.

Where do I start?

Begin at the beginning, from the heart.

I wanna relax, gotta slow down.

Can't make the same mistakes, like last time I left town.

There he is, crystal clear man of the year.

I went New York, I went to L.A., I went to London.

I went astray.

Timeworks

The hands that held me, can also beat me.

The mouth that kissed me, can also curse me.

The mind that loved me, can also fear me.

The dream that awakes me, can always hurt me.

And I don't know why, little things that should pass me by

Touch me so deeply, but so incompletely.

And I don't know why, other scenes of days that have gone by

Can't fill the promise I made to myself.

A force that tells me, there's more than I see.

My intuition, a false premonition.

An impulse caption, daisy-chain reaction.

The autumn breezes, the Summer solstice.

And I can't tell why, after every tear that I cry

Hands in the air push up the hour.

There's a clock in my heart, and it's hands are tearing me apart.

Minute by minute, day by day...

And I don't know why, little things that should pass me by

Touch me so deeply, but so incompletely.


And I don't know why, other scenes of days that have gone by


Can't fill the promise I made to myself.

And I can't tell why, after every tear that I cry

Hands in the air push up the hour.

There's a clock in my heart, and it's hands are tearing me apart.


Minute by minute, day by day...

I wish it'd go away.

Time works for no one.
