The question
is wouldn't mama be proud There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud And the pretty post that you're taking as an NCO of the great pretender I should sure think so Wouldn't mama be proud Can I take your order asked the heavenly host ticket to the jet stream blowing coast to coast The long stem glasses a movie and a pleasent dream in mid air You gotta tell me quickly cos we're almost there Wouldn't mama be proud Pointed out of the window at the sky gone black Kid you're on the right track If I send you a postcard from the side of the road photographs of moving parts about to implode If I crawl to keep it together like you say you know I can do to transmit the moment from me to you wouldn't mama be proud wouldn't mama be proud wouldn't mama be proud wouldn't mama be proud |

Come here alone, and they leave in twos,
Except for you and me, who just came to use. If you're all done like you said you'd be, What are you doing hanging out with me? Why dyou tell me stuff that's so plainly untrue? If you'll be straight with me, I'll be straighter with you. If you're all done like you said you'd be, What are you doing hanging out with me? I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time, But whatever you've got right now would probably suit me fine. If you're all done like you said you'd be, What are you doing hanging out with me?

First the mic then a half cigarette
Singing cathy's clown That's the man that she's married to now That's the girl that he takes around town She appears composed, so she is, i suppose Who can really tell? She shows no emotion at all Stares into space like a dead china doll I'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow Now she's done and they're calling someone Such a familiar name I'm so glad that my memories remote 'cos i'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note Here it is the revenge to the tune "you're no good, You're no good you're no good you're no good" Can't you tell that it's well understood I'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow I'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on I'm tired I'm tired Looking out on the substitute scene Still going strong Xo, mom It's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong Tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone In the place where i make no mistakes In the place where i have what it takes I'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow I'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow I'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow |

Talkin' to Mary, you know you don't have to shout.
She can hear what you're thinkin' like you were sayin' it right out loud. I'm sure she sees behind that dirty look. It was her that followed down every stupid turn that you took. One day she'll go, I told you so. One day she'll go, I told you so. Saw the one big problem you keep under your hat, And it's pretty unlikely that anybody else will be cool with that. You've got bus fare in your pocket and more money down in your sock. But she can't tell you how to contact her if you won't listen to her talk. One day she'll go, I told you so. One day she'll go, I told you so. It's no problem, I'll just keep quiet if it's easier for you, To make believe, then, that I don't love you as much as I do. One day she'll go, I told you so.

Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar People were shouting and pushing and saying And when i traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar A ridiculous marching band started playing And got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? The trumpet has obviously been drinking Because he's fucking up even the simplest lines I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine And when they clean the street I'll be the only shit that's left behind Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

In a crowded corner where anybody can listen in But they don't read page to page or speak easy Now they're gonna go say the words In the wrong order again They walk in a circle Through all the sidewalk scenes they used to be apart of one time Now everybody just stares and whispers Driving around up and down division street I used to like it here It just bums me out to remember Can't you ever treat anyone nice?

All these records look like big zeros Got your picture on the back of a forty-five A placeholder till you take up mine A placeholder till you take up mine I'm the person you'll never need The biggest loser on sixteenth street The invisible man with the see-through mind A placeholder till you take up mine A placeholder till you take up mine Break off of in someone's laughter You can tell right there He's still a square He likes the way that you look now Like an open book Just like my favourite song Some pretty words that didn't last that long Like a package sent priority overnight Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine |

I'll tell you why i don't want to know
where you are I got a joke i been dying to tell you A silent kid is looking down the barrel To make the noise that i kept so quiet I kept it from you, pitseleh I'm not what's missing from your life now I could never be the puzzle pieces They say that god makes problems Just to see what you can stand Before you do as the devil pleases And give up the thing you love But no one deserves it The first time i saw you i knew it would never last I'm not half what i wish i was I'm so angry I don't think it'll ever pass And i was bad news for you just because I never meant to hurt you |

Here's the silhouette the face
always turned away The bleeding color gone to black, dying like a day Couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy Shook your head to say no no no And stopped for a spell And stayed that way Oh well, okay I got pictures, i just don't see it anymore Climbing hour upon hour through a total bore With the one i keep where it never fades In the safety of a pitch black mind An airless cell that blocks the day Oh well, okay If you a get a feeling the next time you see me Do me a favor and let me know 'cos it's hard to tell It's hard to say Oh well, okay Oh well, okay Oh well, okay |

And everybody's gone at last A sweet sweet smile that's fading fast Cause everybody's gone at last And you don't get upset about it No not anymore There's nothing wrong That wasn't wrong before Had a second alone with a chance let pass And everybody's gone at last Well i hope you're not waiting Waiting around for me Because i'm not going anywhere Obviously Got a broken heart and your name on my cast And everybody's gone at last Everybody's gone at last |

For a change she got out Before he hurt her bad Took her records and clothes And pictures of her boy It really made her sad Packed it up and didn't look back I'm okay lets just forget about him The car was cold and it smelled like old Cigarettes and pine In her bag I saw things she drew When she was mine like this one here Her alone nobody near What a shame lets just not talk about it No it doesn't look like you But you did wear cowboy boots That's your fame There's no question about it Once we got back inside With one ear to the ground I was ready to hide 'cos I don't know who's around And you looK scared It's our secret do not tell okay? Let's just not talk about it Don't tell okay? Let's just forget all about it |

Concrete hands picked up the telephone ring Do you know who's you're talking to? No, and I don't care who She whispered quiet terror news He didn't give a hoot Said do what you have to do All she had to do was speak Mouthpiece to cheek Please say no more I'm lying here on the ground A strip of wet concrete Her name was just a broken sound A struffle step you hear when you're falling down Killing time won't stop this crying Killing time won't stop this crying Killing time won't stop this crying You better start watching what message That you send now No more situations I only go in to be kicked out He got knocked down leaning like he ran into a clothesline And remembered a couple of words that hid a crime You're just fine You'll be just fine But I'm on the other line Killing time won't stop this crying Killing time won't stop this crying Killing time won't stop this crying |

No Name #1 - Elliott Smith
At a party he was waiting Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn Like he could be underwater The mighty mother with her hundred arms Swept all aside I hate to walk behind other people's ambition I saw you waiting Saint like with your warning leave alone You don't belong here He got nervous Started whistling Every thought a ricochet Did you notice? Well I wondered What's the worst thing I could say? And I froze up and sighed You remind me of someones daughter I forgot her I forgot her name ashamed Go home and live with your pain Leave alone Leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong You don't belong here And when I go Don't you follow leave alone Leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong You don't belong here Slip out quiet Nobody's looking Leave alone You don't belong here |

Here come the sidewalk boss again Telling me how I can't cave in That I'm a study in black Need a pat on the back I looked up and smile A picture of dissatisfaction That he can only see as a junkie Though I might be straight as an arrow He's busy shaking hands with my monkey Busy shaking hands with my monkey Well I go in the car Straight to the bar Where my sweetie pours the beer For the millions of fans ignoring the bands He's in my ear Wants me to live in denial Says you've gotta settle for something Though it might not be really living Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing No actor action man gonna move in to take my place I'll be pumping out the product Just a total waste Look at your hands unoccupied Look at the lengths you'll go to hide You're under the veil Pretending to fail Gotta whole lot of empty time left to go Now you've gotta fill it with something I know what you can do don't you know Anything is better than nothing No actor action man gonna move in to take my place I'll be pumping out the product Just a total waste I'm here with my cup Afraid to look up This is how I spend my time Lazin' around, head hangin' down Stuck inside my imagination Busy making something from nothing Pictures of hope and depression Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing |

Ghost of your smile is always looking for New bodies to haunt And it's been here, it is up here He's hanging around and he'll float for a while Gradually gone It's pleasing and freezing While I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster You looked all over town, got turned around To walk back through the mud The kind you had left behind you Everybody's the same in this long knowing game Where every new blood gets time to become resigned Now I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never try to tame your master You just blow through the coals Blow through the coals Till everyone knows That your smile is just a ghost The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park It's old news, you see that it's no use You're waiting to start, waiting to light Wait until dark I told you man I told you While I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never try to tame your master |

네 손이 그의 팔 위에 네 목에 감긴 것은 건초더미 장식 우울하고 메마른 상태에서 친구에게 전화해 약간의 수표를 현금으로 바꾸려는 그의 움직임은 둔해보여 이것이 결국 네가 예상하게 된 결과겠지만 건초더미 속의 바늘 X4 그는 네 옷을 입고 있군 머리부터 발끝까지 너와 똑같아 넌 말한다 그가 무슨 짓을 했는지 안다고 하지만 이 멍청한 인간아 넌 뭐가 뭔지 아무것도 모르잖아 가끔씩 그것들이 눈에 잡히고서야 너는 그를 회복시키려 한다 건초더미 속의 바늘 X4 지금은 버스 안 가까스로 근접한 이 지독한 추락의 느낌 6번가와 파월 애비뉴에 떨어진 채 내 이빨에는 무감각한 땀 한 방울 네 블럭을 더, 그리고 내 머리속의 한 블럭까지 더한 거리를 걷고 또 걷고 또 걷고 네 블럭을 더가고, 내 기억속에 있는 한 블럭을 더가면 아래층에 사는 그 남자가 모든 걸 해결해 줄 것이다 나는 나를 이겨낼 수 없다 나는 나를 당해낼 수 없다 말하고 싶지도 않아 나는 치료를 받고있다 내가 원할 땐 언제나 조용히 있을 수 있겠지 그러니 이제 날 내버려둬 내 점수가 점점 좋아지는 것에 대해 자랑스러워 해야만 할거야 건초더미 속의 바늘 X4 |

I'll go down stay down Sleep the rest of the day Dream new music to calm down Stay down and keep evil away I can hear you asleep Changing your shape Dissolved in some dream As a new one appears To take you along where you've never been One, two, three, four, five, six ? The moonlight tonight seems to belong to me Cause i even though some can't sleep They need some company One hit wouldn't hurt a bit at all Slow down sleep What's ? If it's good shit you won't know And i won't know the fact that i'm dying If i seem to be reckless with myself It's the fault of no one All things have a place Under the moon as well as the sun One more Little one i love you |

마지막 통화 그에겐 모든게 지긋지긋했다 집에서 잠들어 있는 당신에게 작별을 고했다 글쎄, 당신도 알겠지만 언젠가는 생각나겠지 당신이 그에게 사실을 말하지 않았다는 걸 너는 위기상황이다. 너는 냉담한 사람이고 너는 말없는 이야깃꾼이고 네 자신이 무슨 말을 하는지 따위에 전혀 신경쓰지 않지 너는 무단횡단자, 그리고 언제나 그렇게 멋대로 가버린다고 네가 하는 일들이 다 그래 멀어지는 당신의 신발소리에 그는 문득 당신이 모르는 사람처럼 느껴졌다 마지막 통화 그에겐 모든게 지긋지긋했다 당신을 생각나게 하는 것들은 끝도 없이 떠올랐고 그 때문에 그는 당신이 너무도 지겹고도 지겹고 지겨웠다 당신의 소리도 지겨웠고 당신이 다가오는 것도 지겨웠다 내 화를 돋구려고 다가오는 당신에게 이미 내가 최고의 방어태세를 제거 했을 땐 어디를 보나 당신이 이겼다는 표시뿐이고 나는 아무래도 끝장난 것 같다 당신은 이제야 안전하게 나의 스위치를 끌 수 있을 것이다 내가 여기 누워 잠이 나를 덮쳐주길 기다릴 동안에는 그렇다, 당신은 아직 여기 있다. 하지만 분명히 해두는 게 좋을걸 당신이 그토록 열망했던 건 오직 참는 것 뿐이었다는 걸 요구하는 걸 얻지 못한다는 사실을 알 때 당신은 더 이상 요구를 할 수가 없다, 더 이상은 그게 바로 달 속의 남자처럼 당신이 온 사방에 스스로의 그림자를 드리우는 이유다 당신은 마시기 시작하고 아무튼 계속 마시고 싶어한다 이것도 곧 작년 일이 되어 버리겠지 당신은 마시기 시작했고 계속 마시고 싶어한다 이것도 곧 작년 일이 되어 버리겠지 교회 종소리에 깬 나는 오늘이 공휴일이었나 하고 생각했다 나까지 그 축하무리에 낄 생각은 없는데 그래도 예배에는 참석할 것이다 가서 기도도 하고 내 조물주의 이름을 찬양할 것이다. 마치 내가 그녀가 나를 만드신 것만큼 착했던 것처럼 그리고 그녀가 절대로 나를 깨우지 않겠다고 말해주길 바랬다 나는 그녀가 절대로 나를 깨우지 않겠다고 말해주길 바랬다 X7 나는 여기 누워 잠이 나를 덮쳐주길 기다렸다 |

The king's crossing
is the main attraction Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction The scraping subject ruled by fear told me Whiskey works better than beer The judge is on vinyl decisions are final And nobody gets a reprieve And every wave is tidal if you hang around You're going to get wet I can't prepare for death any more than i already have All you can do now is watch the shells The game looks easy that's why it sells Frustrated fireworks inside your head Are going to stand and deliver talk instead The method acting that pays my bills Keeps a fat man feeding in beverly hills I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity And i get my check from the trash treasury Because i took my own insides out It don't matter cos i have no sex life All i want to do now is inject my ex wife I've seen the movie and i know what happens It's christmas time And the needles on the tree A skinny santa is bringing something to me His voice is overwhelming but his speech is slurred And i only understand every other word Open your parachute and grab your gun Falling down like an omen a setting sun Read the part and we turn out fine It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive But i don't care if i fuck up I'm going on a date with a rich white lady Ain't life great Give me one good reason not to do it This is the place where time reverses Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses Instruments shine on a silver tray Don't let me get carried away Don't let me get carried away Don't let me be carried away |
