She
03:44

She - has a smile I can't forget
She - took me higher than a jumbo jet
She - could be my Juliet
She - will be mine if you wanna bet
And I need her
So I'll swim across the Nile
I'll get a cool hairstyle
I'll walk right down the aisle for she
She - always likes to make the scene
She - looking good in leather jeans
She - want to sink my submarine
She - starring in my naughty dreams
And I want her
So I'll bring her lemonade
I'd get her kitty spade
Then sing a serenade for she
I'd do a monkey dance
Leave home without my pants
All for a sweet romance with she
And when she's feeling down
I'll take away her frown
And when she comes undone
I'll sew her buttons on
And if she breaks my heart
I'll keep the biggest part
She fits me like a glove
I'm gonna give my love to - She
So I'll go and mow the lawn
Get rid of all my porn
I'll take Hulk Hogan on
I'll die and be reborn, yeah
I'll mend her broken wing
I'll wear a wedding ring
I'll do most anything for - She

Me For a Day
04:18
|
|||
Lets be us - Don't wanna be them
The sum of all we've been since way back when
I'll be you - and you can be me
'Cause through each other's eyes there's clarity
Words will never show it
You just feel it then you'll know it
If you were me for a day
You'd see all the beauty in you
If you were me for a day
You'd see how my love shines through
But it's hard for me to tell you
"Cause I haven't got a clue
Not a clue - to get through to you
Angry words will drive in a wedge
Talk me down or push me off that ledge
Where I fall impressions are made
The one's I have of you I'd never trade
Take you as I find you
I'm always right behind you
If you were me for a day
You'd see all the beauty in you
If you were me for a day
You'd see how my love shines through
But it's hard for me to tell you
"Cause I haven't got a clue
If you were me for a day
You'd love you too
Words will never show
But alright, I'll have a go
You're the voice inside my head
You're the left side of the bed
You're the Baileys in my cream
You're the sexy in my dream
You're the oxygen I breathe
And the ace that's up my sleeve
You're the first star in the sky
You're the sin I can't deny
You're the heart that fills my soul
You're the rock inside my roll
And after every dumb cliche
There's only one thing left to say
I wish you could be me for a day - Oh you know it!
I wish you could be me for a day

95 Reasons
03:32
|
|||
Well give 95 reasons to love you
‘Cause I’ve gotta be sure it’s for real
You never know how you’re going to feel
When the 94th reason is gone
Give me 95 reasons to care
‘Cause I’ve gotta be sure you’ll be there
When the push and shove of this labor of love
Gets harder and harder to bear
I don’t wanna doubt you
But everything about you
Makes me wanna run and hide
I won’t be sticking around
Long enough for an alternative
“Cause even though you thrill me
Forever might kill me
Dead from my wounded pride
I’ve had that headache before
Now won’t you offer the cure?
And give me 95 reasons to give you
All the things that I’ll never possess
Like the desire for wealth and success
“Can’t Buy Me Love,” somebody once said
So give me 95 reasons to care
‘Cause I’ve gotta be sure you’ll be there
When all the tea in China
Won’t easily change my point of view
But 95 reasons will do
Oh 95 reasons no more excuses
Love and affection got a 1001 uses
A sensible liar is all I require
To make me believe again
Hey, give me 95 reasons to be here
‘Cause you know I’ve been here before
And when my fingers got slammed in the door
I swore I wouldn’t go there no more
So give 95 reasons to love you
‘Cause I’ve gotta be sure it’s for real
When all the tea in China
Won’t easily change my point of view
But 95 reasons will do
Hey hey, 95 reasons

Beautiful Losers
03:32
|
|||
Empty and hollow
Oh baby swallow it down
Until the next one comes around
They numb the senses
Of the defenseless and weak
Who love these gorgeous little freaks
The fakers of the world are free
They play with you and play with me
And I can’t seem to make them go away
Oh you beautiful Losers
Covered in plastic
Captain Fantastically vane
You thrill the eyes and take the brain
Another diva, another reason to choke
Believe the hype, become the joke
You tell me who and where and why
How to live and when to die
What to like and what I ought to hate
Oh you beautiful losers
Oh you beautiful losers
Oh you beautiful losers
Oh you beautiful losers
So many losers around
They’re selling souls by the pound
From magazines to movie show
TV screens and radio
I can’t count high enough to calculate
All you beautiful losers
All you beautiful losers
All you beautiful losers
Oh you’re beautiful
Oh you beautiful losers

Alone With Everyone
04:22
|
|||
Give me the words and I will tell you something
Something I know you’re longing to hear
Give me the time and I will take you over
Just chase away my fear
Give me an inch and I will take a mile
I know you’d never hold me down
Don’t wanna wait ’til my clothes are back in style
For love to come around
There’s a place I’ve been in the space between
Where you and I can run
In a crowded room it’s like solitude
Alone with Everyone
Yeah but we’re having fun
Give me a glance and I will tell a story
With just a look I can read your mind
Big brown eyes that always seem to floor me
Leave my defenses blind
Give me the chance and I will bring you flowers
And to your lips, the taste of wine
Don’t need a pill to make me go for hours
Just your skin on mine, yeah your skin on mine
There’s a place I’ve been in the space between
Where you and I can run
In a crowded room it’s like solitude
But we’re having fun
Alone with Everyone
‘Cause baby I know what you’re thinking
Yeah I know what you’re drinking
Oh you fill it up until it overflows
And washes over me
In the space between
Where you and I can run
In a crowded room it’s like solitude
But we’re just having fun
Staring at the sun
Alone with Everyone

A Song For Adrian
02:58
|
|||
Adrian, can you come out and play?
Adrian, can you make it today?
Your bed is all made
Your room painted blue
Oh Adrian, the world waits for you
Adrian, we bought you some clothes
For ten little fingers and ten little toes
And when you open your eyes
The first thing you’ll see
Is your pretty big sister, your mommy, and me
And may you always know laughter
May you always know love
And always find comfort in heaven above
Oh Adrian, here’s a message for you
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do
Well I’ll chase all those monsters from under your bed
I’ll kiss it all better, that bump on your head
I’ll teach you to sing and play the guitar
And when you grow up you’ll be a rock ’n roll star
But I wouldn’t mind if you don’t climb a tree
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind if you look just like me
A beautiful baby, a bundle of joy
Oh Adrian, you’re my little boy
Oh Adrian, you’re my little boy

Mojo Knows
03:24
|
|||
You’re growing up fast
And as the year fly past
Like a shooting star
You’re going twice as far
Whatever you do
You’re gonna do it
With your own finesse
Oh I’m so impressed
‘Cause Mojo knows what she wants to be
The greatest doctor in history
The scientific discovery she’ll find
Will save all mankind
Our Mojo will blow your mind
And as you mature
You can be sure we’re standing
By your side, filled with pride
That look in your eyes
So deep and wise
But then your heart of gold
Is only twelve year old
‘Cause Mojo knows what she wants to be
The queen of egyptology
And oceanic authority
A novelist with a P.H.D.
Yeah Mojo knows how to live the dream
The rising star of the stage and screen
If you can’t see it I’m sure you must be blind
So she’ll leave you ass behind
Our Mojo will blow your mind
Yeah Mojo knows how to get to me
She dances weird and sings out of key
But once she captures the harmony
You’ll find a women so refined
Your heart to hers she’ll bind
And if she’s so inclined
Our Mojo will blow your mind
She’ll blow your mind

Climb
03:50
|
|||
Think I was taken unaware
Think there was something in the air
Out of the mystic comes a deeper side of two
Out of the darkness I reach for you
But I wanna climb the walls around you
I wanna see through your disguise
I wanna break the chains that bind you
I wanna feel our worlds collide
Are we the opposite cliche?
Here tomorrow, gone today
Every step that takes me further out of view
Is one more step that brings me back to you
And I wanna climb the walls around you
I wanna see through your disguise
I wanna break the chains that bind you
I wanna feel our worlds collide
‘Cause every smile inebriates me
Look at me stagger around your heart
Every thought of you sedates me
’til I’m defenseless to your charm, yeah
Every step that takes me further out of view
Is one more step that brings me back to you
I wanna climb the walls around you
I wanna see through your disguise
I wanna break the chains that bind you
I wanna feel our worlds collide
And I wanna climb, oh yeah
I wanna break, yeah I wanna feel
‘Cause every smile inebriates me
Look at me stagger around your heart
Every thought of you sedates me
Bringing me back

Lonely
04:33
|
|||
We got a thing had the world on a string
Don’t say goodbye
We got a love they’re all in envy of
Don’t say goodbye
I know I’ve been a fool
It wasn’t kind to be cruel
But what we share there’s nothing can compare
Don’t say goodbye
So if you want me to crawl
I won’t say anything at all
And if you want me to bleed
Just cut out my heart
It ain’t something I need to be lonely
You had a light that never burned so bright
For all to see
There was a glow that always seemed to flow
Between you and me
It was a difficult day
That took your sparkle away
But if I can sing and light you up again
Don’t say goodbye
So if you want me to crawl
I won’t say anything at all
And if you want me to bleed
Just cut out my heart
It ain’t something I need to be lonely
What else can I do?
‘Cause every moment with you
Brings me closer to who
I’ve always wanted to be
If you want me to crawl
I won’t say anything at all
And if you want me to bleed
Just cut out my heart
It ain’t something I need
Oh I wish you believed
Oh baby don’t leave me lonely

Fall Away
05:02
|
|||
Tripped up tumble down
Fall away and hit the ground
Content just to take a ride
Don’t know how to stop the slide
Down the drain
You lost yourself again
You’re just pretending it’s ok
‘Cause you talk a perfect game
Mimic love deflect the blame
So good living in denial
Wink an eye, fake a smile
And swallow up your pride
Just enough to hide
All the things that messed you up inside
When you fall away
You fall away so far
Every night I sit and wonder why
Why you had to fall so far away
You waited for the wind to blow
Wound me up and let me go
I spun like a 45
Left for dead, half alive
When you said you were through
It wasn’t me, no it was you
That cut me deeper than I ever knew
When you fall away
You fall away so far
Every night I sit and wonder why
Why you had to fall so far away
I wanna wipe you from my memory
A love lobotomy, but it’s hard to let it go
‘Cause you missed me I could sympathize
I’d look into your eyes, but you’d never let it show
So what’s a boy supposed to do living with the ghost of you?
Well, I drove by. No-one home
Grabbed a fifth, drank alone
And thought about the time
Back when you were mine
Man, I thought those days would never end
But they fall away
They fall away so far
Every night I sit and wonder why
Why you had to fall so
(You fall so far)
And why you’ve been so awful
(No good for you now)
And why you had to fall so far away
You fall so far away
You fall so far away
(So far away, so far away)
So far away
