The credits roll, the camera pans
And in the mist our hero stands
He starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayer
An awkward pause, then what's my line?
There's nothing left to say this time
And what would you say to a bad guy who's not there?
In terms of Roman numerals,
He's IV league with Roman Polanski
He'd win an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance

He started on the Broadway stage
A product of another age,
An offer and a pilot drew him west
The series bombed, commercials came
And though nobody knew his name
They all recognized the potential he possessed
Deodorants and dental floss
And home much does that new car cost
His acting was methodical in You Don't Need A Medical
He's branded like a racing car,
He's like a movie star without movies.

The week of Independence Day,
The casting agent called to say
Your smile could save our movie and the world

Buy buy buy buy
Sell sell sell
How well you learn
To not discern
Who's foe and who is friend
We'll own them all in the end

It goes like this, we have no choice; the minarets,
The wailing voice
And vaguely Celtic music fills the air
We choose a foreigner to hate,
The new Iraq gets more irate
We really know nothing about them, and no one cares
Aladdin and the forty thieves
Enhanced by brand new special effects
Saddam and his cow disease spiced up
With some gratuitous sex
A movie's made, a war is won
A low-speed chase, a smoking gun
Distracts us while the actor takes the stand

Buy buy buy buy
Sell sell sell
How well you learn
To not discern
Who's for and who is friend
We'll own them all in the end

Maybe it would be fun
To get a new opinion
Get a little work done
And forget

Maybe it would be cool
If I rocked it old school
Try to break a gold rule
And a sweat

Better than the first time
Better than the worst time
If I could just reverse time
I'd be set

(CHORUS:)
Testing 1,2,3
Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony
Would anybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me
Would I be in the clear?

She got a new apartment
It's out on the escarpment
And in her glove compartment
Are my songs

She hasn't even heard them
Since she found out what the words meant
She decided she preferred them
All wrong

Kind of like the last time
With a bunch of really fast times
If we're living in the past time
Soon gone

(CHORUS)

We recognize the present
Is half as pleasant
As our nostalgia for

The past'll be presented
Recast and reinvented
Until it's how we meant it

(CHORUS)

He's everything that you need
You wiped out on your ten speed
And either he will succeed
Or just suck

(CHORUS)

Begin the...

(CHORUS)
Would I be in the clear, G?

1, 2, 3 and 4 more makes 7
6 is afraid of 7 'cause 7 ate 9

9 was minding his business
Talking to 10 about Gordy Howe's clothes
Why 7 ate 9 nobody knows

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
What about 9?
7 ate 9

Oh, the cat'll have to live with 8 lives now
Ronaldo will have to make do
Ever since 7 ate 9 it seems
I've got an extra finger and an extra toe too
7 ate 9

Once upon a time in our solar system
We couldn't make do without 9
But Pluto's not a planet now
So 8 will do fine

Oh, the cat'll have to live with 8 lives now
The Chinese will be out of luck
Vampires will have to think of some other method
'Cause without their K 9's how will they suck?
7 ate 9

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
What about 9?
7 ate 9, 7 ate 9, 7 ate 9
Oh, 7 ate 9

A is for angry, which is what you are at me
A is for adult, which is what I'll never be
A is for applesauce, my favorite meal
A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel;
Like I'm the only man on Earth, and I've forgotten what
that's worth
A is for Arthur, he's a lovable drunk
A M & Azing, like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that's not even there and
it's just you begging for attention or something I won't
even mention

* And I don't even know why you keep on trying
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
And two of them can't let go

A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said, 'cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for affection
A is arousal, you are giving me an erection
C'mon I'm trying to show affection for longer than a
half an hour

*Repeat

I met a woman I used to know
Long before you, long ago
All I could say, after hello
Was "are you still single?"
A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance; emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole, which is what I am, how rude of me.
I owe you an apology I'm sorry

*Repeat

A is for angry, which is what you are at me A is for adult, which is what I'll never be A is for applesauce, my favorite meal A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel; Like I'm the only man on earth and I've forgotten what that's worth A is for Arthur, he's a lovable drunk A M & Azing like Thelonius Monk A is for argument, A is for apparent A is for antagonism that's not even there and It's just you begging for attention or something I won't even mention.

There's a word for that
But I don't seem to know it
Sometimes I grow a moustache just so I don't have to show it
The word for that
That someone,somewhere chose
For that little dented skin between my upper lip and nose

(philtrum)

There's a word for that
What does it start with?
A word for that
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that
Perhaps you do?

There's a word for that
It may come to me soon
It dangles down in my mouth, and it's often in cartoons
The word for that
It seems like such a drag
To not know what to call that little fleshy punching bag

(uvula)

There's a word for that
What does it start with?
A word for that
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that
Perhaps you do?

There's a word for that
It's on the tip of my tongue
Well actually underneath it, and has been since I was young
The word for that
Although I won't quote
It likely stops my tongue from disappearing down my throat

(frenulum)

There's a word for that
What does it start with?
A word for that
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that
Perhaps you do?
What does it start with?
A word for that
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that
Perhaps you do?

Ever since we said our good-byes
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry
Something isn't right
Like the Deep Blue without the Great White

In the morning open your eyes
The waterfalls, the fire flies
You're an abacus
And my heart was counting on us

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

Crescent moon sings me to sleep
The birches bark, the willows weep
But I lie awake; I'm adrift without a snowflake

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

Ever since we said our good-byes
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry
Something isn't right
Like the Deep Blue without the Great White

In the morning open your eyes

You're an abacus
And my heart was counting on us

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

Crescent moon sings me to sleep
The birches bark, the willows weep
But I lie awake; I'm adrift without a snowflake

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

Alcohol


Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Forget the caffe latte,
screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me
Alcohol, Your songs resolve like
my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else.

My little brother is allergic to meat
My friends' mother is allergic to wheat
Allergic to meat?

Gotta be tricky finding something to eat

Allergies, allergies

Allergic to dogs, allergic to frogs
Allergic to nuts, I hate the guts
Allergic to smoke, it makes me choke
Allergic to shrimp, I'll blow up like a blimp

I get all itchy, and I start to wheeze
Even if I see a slice of cheese
A slice of cheese? I start to wheeze
Hang on fellas I'm about to sneeze
Aaa, aaa, aaa, achoo!

You're in an all-girl band
Your futon's second hand
Your parents understand but you don't care
I have a job in a shop
I'm an undercover cop
I make sure the customers aren't thieves
Old at being young
Young at being old
Everything's on hold within our evolution

* You're my alternative girlfriend
I love you, and now you cannot pretend
There's nothing left that won't cross over

Last night we slept on the lawn
you woke up and I was gone
Back to the dream I dream to leave
My life with her is a bore
A worn-out metaphor
No more surprises up its sleeve
We're old at being young
Young at being old
Everything's been sold to other's revolutions

*Repeat

You live above your dad's four-car garage
With your vinyl and imaginary entourage
if I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick
So we can get out of this town 'cause it makes me sick

How, in every visible way, you shine
As if the stars in your wake align
Almost impossible to malign

But just below where you shine, you burn
Although I know it, I never learn
Just goes to show that I can't discern

Aluminum to me
Aluminium to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just Aluminum

Illuminating just what you want to show
You'd never rust, but I'd never know
You can't be trusted, I can't let go

Every time you're here, I forget
When you leave, you leave only regret
Every time you're here, I forget

You're so lightweight, how can you survive?
Recycling moments from others' lives
You're not as precious as you contrive

Laugh until you cry?
Am I the only one who asks you to go,

That's the problem, dear, with angry people
They try to go it alone
Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas
That other angries disown
Angry people think a good solution
Is getting others involved
So they surround themselves with happy people
And watch their smiles dissolve

We just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down

Angry people get so sanctimonious
Telling us what to do
Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just cause

We are all phonies too
And those of us who once had wives and families
Understand what I mean
What was once a calm and peaceful refuge
Is overtaken by spleen

'Cause we just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us

I am the singer in the band
We're only trying to lend a hand
And though it's not what we had planned
We understand

That we just drag you down
We just drag you down
We just drag you down
Until you're just like us

In a square a thousand angry people
Are waving signs in the air (HEY!)
While a million other happy people
Are trying hard not to care (BACK OFF!)
You see, the happy people's biggest problem
Is they're never fearing the worst
While the rest of us will never sleep until
Your happy bubbles are burst

Yeah, we just drag them down
Didn't I just drag you down
Just watch me drag you down
Until you're just like us
Until you're just like us
Oh, until you're just like us
Until you're just like us

You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees
Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great
He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate
I'm losing sleep—and it's gonna be keeping me up all night
I thought it was funny,
but now I've got money on a monkey fight
Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working
on a chain gang
Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang
A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth
A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home
No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone
Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind
But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find
Some chimps in swimsuits
Some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats
Some chimps who love cats
I've got some shaved chimps;
that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Every one is every one is every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees

I had time to kill
One day in Alaska
I walked around until
I found the arts and crafts shop
I bought you a card
I don't know where to send it
I wrote it from the heart
I'm not sure how to end it

I wonder--where have you been?
Will I see you again
I give the globe another spin
All this time I'm wonderin'
Give the globe another spin
Are you in
Berlin?

Sweet potato pie
Is what your mom would always make
Your father smoked a pipe
My hand crushed in his handshake
They say you took a job
Spying for the army
And had to relocate
With a new identity

I wonder--where have you been?
Will I see you again?
I give the globe another spin
All this time I'm wonderin'
Give the globe another spin

Are you in (are you in)
Afghanistan?

Are you in...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of Auld Lang Syne.

For Auld Lang Syne, my dear,
For Auld Lang Syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne.

And here's the hand, my trusty friend
And gives a hand of thine
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne.

For Auld Lang Syne, my dear,
For Auld Lang Syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet

You left Billy with the kid
And all the selfless things you did with Billy
You left your home town in the spring
And turned your back on everything
You thought your life would just go by
Without a pause to wonder, don't be silly

But you can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat

He came down from his retreat
She saw him later on the street
He said "You are the only one
to recognize that I'm the son"
So she bent down and kissed his feet
And then that night, between the sheets she told him

You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat

40 days at sea
Then she turned and said to me
"If we make it back
I'll renounce Jack Kerouac
And all that romantic crap
Like I'm an artist don't look back"

Now we're living somewhere else
We keep opinions to ourselves
But still we seek a sneaky peek at heaven
When the working week defeats us
If you think growing up is tough
Then you've just not grown enough, baby

You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat

I'm having a bad day
There's nothing you can do or say
To help me through this bad day
I think I'll just stay in my room
They didn't need to say
That they didn't want to play
I could have guessed it anyway
And that's why I'm here in my room
Seems like I'm the only one
Who's not outside having fun
I wish this day had never begun
I think I'll stay in my room
Sometimes I want to run and hide
Today I want to stay inside
Tell my bike to take itself for a ride
I'm staying in today
See the toys lying on the floor
I don't want them anymore
Think I'll sell them back to the store
Or give them all away

Seems like I'm the only one
Who's not outside and having fun
I wish this day had never begun
I think I'll just stay in my room
I don't need hugs and I don't want food
I want to stay here in this lonely mood
I don't care if people think I'm rude
I wish they would all go away
Dad come in and tells me with a kiss
That everyone has days like this
He brought my dinner,
said that I was missed
I think I'll be okay
I know I'm not the only one
To stay inside and watch the fun
Thanks a lot, that helped a ton
Tomorrow's going to be a better day

It was an upset
In two minutes flat
We're back on the freeway
Foot to the mat
I can't understand it
We had it down pat
It's very upsetting
Could we leave it at that
We all had positions
We each had a role
We'd overrehearsed it
We had full control
They can't teach you acting
It's there in your soul
It's the same with a bank job
And each thing we stole

So I don't need attitude
Cause you knew just what to do
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
And wait by the phone

I was the driver
You ran the show
You had the last word
The go or no go
I knew every laneway
In Ontario
But it's not what you're sure of
It's what you don't know
It should have been filled with
The usual ones
Throwing their cash in
To mutual funds
We all had our ski masks
And sawed off shotguns
But how do you plan for
A bank full of nuns
But I guess we panicked
We all have taboos
And they were like zebras
They had us confused
We should be in condos
With oceanfront views
Instead we're most wanted
On the 6 o'clock news

So, I don't need attitude
'Cause you knew just what to do
We all did our best now
we all need to rest now
Leave me alone
And wait by the phone

Inside the police car
You tried to explain
Your crisis of conscience
The voice in your brain
And now that the whole thing
Has gone down the drain
I think we all know who
Should shoulder the blame
'Cause you made a choice there
Almost sublime
I'm all for compassion
Just not on my dime
You look like an amateur
And that's the real crime
So I'll take a walk now
And you do the time

And I don't need attitude
'Cause you knew just what to do
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
There's no need to phone

We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone
We all did our best now
We all need to rest now
Leave me alone

And if there's someone you can live without, then do so
And if there's someone you can just shove out, go do so

You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my
Be my, be my Yoko Ono

Isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love?
Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove
But now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain
To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain

(If you like) You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my
Be my, be my Yoko Ono

(Be my Yoko) Oh, no, here we go
Our life is one big pun
Oh, no, here we go as Yoko sings
Aieee!

I know that when I say this, I may be stepping on pins and needles
But I don't like all these people slagging her for breaking up the Beatles
(Don't blame it on Yokey) I mean, if I was John and you were Yoko I would gladly give up musical genius
Just to have you as my very own personal Venus

(Hit it) You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my
Be my, be my Yoko Ono

Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono
Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono
Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono

And if there's someone you can live without, then do so
And if there's someone you can just shove out, go do so

You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my
Be my, be my Yoko Ono

(Don't blame it on Yokey) I mean, if I was John and you were Yoko I would gladly give up musical genius
Just to have you as my very own personal Venus

(Hit it) You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my
Be my, be my Yoko Ono

Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono
Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono
Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono

And if there's someone you can live without, then do so
And if there's someone you can just shove out, go do so

You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my
Be my, be my Yoko Ono

Isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love?
Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove
But now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain
To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain

(If you like) You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my
Be my, be my Yoko Ono

(Be my Yoko) Oh, no, here we go
Our life is one big pun
Oh, no, here we go as Yoko sings
Aieee!

I know that when I say this, I may be stepping on pins and needles
But I don't like all these people slagging her for breaking up the Beatles
(Don't blame it on Yokey) I mean, if I was John and you were Yoko I would gladly give up musical genius
Just to have you as my very own personal Venus

(Hit it) You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my
Be my, be my Yoko Ono

Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono
Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono
Be my, be my, be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono

What if you were not just for show,
What if you were not good to go,
What if you were simply not so beautiful?

What if you were not thin and tall,
What if you were done with it all,
What if you were not baby doll beautiful?

(Beautiful)
Isn't she,
(Beautiful)
Paid to be,
(Beautiful)
When I see,
(Beautiful)
Shame on me.

Hoping that it's deeper than skin,
Open to the beauty within,
Scoping out the room's not a sin.
Beautiful.

Beautiful, and not much else, and not much else going on.
No matter cause no one's as

(Beautiful)
Everytime she walks in the room the eyes all turn to find her,
(Beautiful)
Everything she says I simply say I never mind her,
(Beautiful)
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience,
(Beautiful)
Everytime she leave she sees me her checking her appearance.

What if one day I wake up blind,
Would I go on losing my mind,
Groping in the dark just to find beautiful.

Beauty disappears,
Boredom perseveres.

(Beautiful)
Isn't she,
(Beautiful)
Paid to be,
(Beautiful)
When I see,
(Beautiful)
Shame on me.

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait…
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

“Since the dawn of man” is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea
See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!

It all started with the big BANG!

It’s expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won’t be here, it wont be hurt
Our best and brightest figure that it’ll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating out while here they’re catching deer (we’re catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!

Here we are again, and we're looking at each other
As if each other were to blame
You think you're so smart but I've seen you naked
And I'll probably see you naked again
Milli Vanilli told you to blame it on the rain
But if you blame it on the rain tell me what can be gained
So if all else fails you can blame it on me

If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me

Then you smile again but you're looking at me like there's
Something I'm supposed to say
Forgive me Father, but I've fallen in love
And that's all I have for confession today
Maybe if you asked me on any other given day
I wouldn't have time for you or anything that you say
But it's all right now, you can blame it on me

If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me

Yes dear I love you
But sometimes I think that love's not enough for you
So you wanna play mind games
Well that's fine, go ahead, la la la, I can't hear you

Well here you are and you're a hundred thousand miles away
They say that absence makes the heart grow fungus
I wax poetic while you're waxing your legs
You say you think there's a traitor amoung us

If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on me

I never thought that you would love me
The way that you do.
I never thought that you would love me
Half as much as I do.
You say you want to know everything about me,
Well, here you go;
You say you couldn't live your life without me,
I don't know;
But if you want it girl, you got it;
It's all right here in my box set.

I never thought that words like product
Could ever leave my lips,
But something happened to me somewhere
That made me lose my grip.
Well, maybe it's a lack of inspiration
That makes me stoop,
Or maybe it's a lack of remuneration;
I can't recoup.
But if you want it, folks, you got it;
It's all right here in my box set.

Disc One
It's where we've begun, it's all my greatest hits,
And if you are a fan then you know that you've
already got 'em

Disc Two
It was all brand new, an album's worth of songs,
but we had to leave the whole disc blank 'cause
some other label bought 'em

Disc Three
This is really me in a grade school play,
I had about a hundred thousand lines, but of course
I forgot 'em

I never thought there'd be days like this,
There was always someone at my door.
I never thought I would ever miss,
And the crowd would always holler for more.
But now it seems all that people want
Is what I used to be
And every time I try to do something new,
All they want is 1973.

I never thought I'd be regretful
Of all my past success,
But some stupid number one hit single
Has got me in this mess.
You can put it on every compilation -- that's alright.
You can hear it on the oldies radio station every night.
And if you want it again, you got it --
It's right here in my box set.

Disc Four
Never released before, and you can tell why;
It's just some demos I recorded in my basement.

Disc Five
I was barely alive, I was hacking up a lung
So they had to use a special computer as my replacement.

Disc Six
A dance remix, to catch the latest trend
and it'll make you scratch your head
and wonder where my taste went.

So now my fans are crying sellout,
They say I've lost my touch.
They say I should just get the hell out
Before I do too much.
Hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser --
They say it's greed,
And now I'm wondering where my friends are
In this time of need.
But if you change your mind and buy it,
I hope you enjoy my new box
I hope you enjoy my new box
I hope you enjoy my new box set.

I never thought that you would Love me the way that you do. I never thought that you would Love me half as much as I do. You say you want to know Everything about me -- well here you go, Buf if you want it girl, you got it; It's all right here in my box set. I never thought that words like Product would ever leave my libs, But something happened to me Somewhere that made me lose my grip. Maybe it's a lack of inspiration That makes me stoop, Or maybe it's a lack of Renumeration; I can't recoup. But if you want it, folks, you got it; It's all right here in my box set.

Break Your Heart


The bravest thing I've ever done
Was to run away and hide
But not this time, not this time
And the weakest thing I've ever done
Was to stay right by your side
Just like this time, and every time
I couldn't tell you I was happy when you were gone
So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart.
I couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you on
But I didn't mean to break your heart.

And if I always seem distracted
Like my minds somewhere else,
That's because it's true, yes it's true
it's this stupid pride that makes me feel
Like I have to follow through
Even half-assedly, loving you
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
When I guess I should have just come out and told you right from the start
Why must I always tell you all I want is this?
I guess 'cause I didn't want to break your heart

And you said;
"What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak, you know
What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
how could you be so low?
You arrogant man,
What do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time"

And now I know that you will be okay, and that I
got what I want and that's rid of you
Good bye
And it's not cause I'll be missing you
That makes me fall apart
it's just that I didn't mean to break
No I didn't mean to break
No I didn't mean to break
Your heart

And you said:
"What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak you know

How could you be so low?
You arrogant man,
What do you think I am?
My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time"

And now I know that you will be okay,
And I got what I want and that's rid of you
Good-bye
And it's not 'cause I'll be missing you
That makes me fall apart
It's just that I didn't mean to break
No I didn't mean to break
Your heart

And you said:

Brian Wilson


Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night,
Just to check out the late-night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
When I'm surrounded I just can't stop.

It's a matter of instinct,
It's a matter of conditioning,
It's a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog
Ring a bell and I'll salivate -- how'd you like that
Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue
'Cause right now I'm

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

ring a bell and I'll salivate -

you're not just a pedagogue

Chorus:
Lying in bed
just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am
lying in bed
just like Brian Wilson did.

So I'm lying here
just staring at the ceiling tiles,
and I'm thinking about
oh what to think about.

Just listening and relistening
to Smiley Smile,
and wondering if this is some kind of creative drought
because I'm

Chorus

And if you want to find me
I'll be out in the sandbox,
wondering where the hell all the
love has gone,
Playing my guitar and
building castles in the sun and
singing "Fun, Fun, Fun"

Chorus

I had a dream
that I was three hundred pounds
and though I was very heavy
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me,
I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me because I'm

Drove downtown in the rain
nine-thirty on a tuesday night,

record shop.
Call it impulsive
you can call it compulsive,
you can call it insane;
but when I'm surrounded
I just can't
stop.

I'm a kid in a candy store
I'm a bull in a china shop
I'm a tired old metaphor
For everything you can't afford
And everything you can't afford to be

I'm a public embarrassment
I'm a bottle of diet poison
I'm a walking advertisement
For everything I never meant
And everything I never meant to be

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

I'm the reason I don't go out
I'm afraid I might tell me something
I'm the shadow of every doubt
I'm the product the song's about
And I'm the product the song's about to be

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening
I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

Every morning
Since I was born
It's been hard to look in the mirror
And see my face for the horns

All the fun that the law allows
All the fun but with half the meaning
Come on over, I'll show you how
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you still lived here, you'd be home now with me

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening
I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

I'm a kid in a candy store
I'm a bull in a china shop
I'm a tired old metaphor
For everything you can't afford
And everything you can't afford to be

I'm a public embarrassment
I'm a bottle of diet poison
I'm a walking advertisement
For everything I never meant
And everything I never meant to be

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

I'm the reason I don't go out
I'm afraid I might tell me something

And I'm the product the song's about to be

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening
I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

Every morning
Since I was born
It's been hard to look in the mirror
And see my face for the horns

All the fun that the law allows
All the fun but with half the meaning
Come on over, I'll show you how
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you still lived here, you'd be home now with me

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening
I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

Call Me Calmly


You and I were meant to be
Even though you don't know me
I don't even know your name
And do you think that you know mine?
You were lonely, I was bored
I may be more than you can afford
But I'm sure we'll meet halfway

Chorus:
And I've got this crazy feeling
you've been trying to get to me
When all you have to do is calmly
Call me, call me, call me

Basic service: sixty bucks
I'll roll the dice, you try your luck
A pair gets me a week in rent
And a straight gets even more.
I'm no good at playing cards
I hold my dates in high regard
Pay up front and ye shall receive

Love is never in-between
if it isn't one thing, then
it's always something else

I don't even know what I mean
I thought that it was nothing, but now I
can't find nothing else
Oh, you can't hide
But at least you tried to

Call me, call me, call me

Are you ashamed of what you've done?
All we did was have some fun
I won't judge and I won't tell
And I'll forget you when you've gone
I pity all you working stiffs,
Living wondering "what if?"
"What if someday I was free?"

Chorus

Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away

Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold,
ding dong ding
that is their song
with joyful ring
all caroling

one seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air

Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale,

Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here,

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send ,
on without end,
their joyful tone to every home
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong

Don't call me a zero
I'm gonna be a hero
Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys

I'll be incorporated
And I'll be imitated
And overrated, but that doesn't bother me

All the jaws will drop
And all the girls will scream
And there will be commotion
when I show up on the scene

All that you will see is a celebrity (x2)

When I'm riding in my limo
I won't look out the window
Might make me homesick for humanity

There's nowhere that I can't go
And there's nobody I don't know
And there's an emptiness that's eating me

All the clocks will stop
And all the jeans will cream
It has always been my one and only dream

All that's left of me is my celebrity (x2)

Leave your heart
Lay down your art
You're here for the party
Smile and wave
Try to behave
Be happy that they've made you a celebrity

I could disappear into the great unknown
And it would wear my face as if it were its own

And all that you will see is a celebrity
All that's left of me is my celebrity
I will get in first and I will get in free
All that's left of me is my celebrity

Don't call me a zero
I'm gonna be a hero
Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys

I'll be incorporated
And I'll be imitated

Turkey is done,
reviews are mixed
When's mom going to
get that hearing aid fixed?
Hold still
Wait for the click
You're in this year's Christmas pics

Brother, we don't agree
About the government
and where to put the tree
Hold still
Wait for the click
We're in this year's Christmas pics

Flashbulbs and wine
And 'hold that smile'
Everyone's here,
flown for miles
Looks like we've stood the test
and we're looking our best

Tears rolling down my nephew's face
Santa's house can be a scary place
Hold still
Wait for it
Hold still
Wait for the click
We're in this year's Christmas
This year's Christmas
This years Christmas pics

Now that all the snow has fallen
It's crunching in below my feet
And all the Christmas lights are shining
On houses up and down my street
And I can see the happy families inside
If only for a moment, it's Christmas time

I think I see the children down the street
Here they come caroling
Now we can hear them, they sing "Oh yeah"

Mr. Johnson bought a Christmas tree
He set it up with his family
They're opening their presents big and small
Mr. Johnson got a big, brown, bowling ball
And Sally got a pair of brand new skates
And Jimmy got a box of frosty flakes
He knows that there's a special little prize inside
What a happy moment, it's Christmas time

The carolers are standing in line
They sing, "Oh yeah"
Oh yeah

You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
I've never been ashamed of my attraction
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
You and me as senior citizens in love

I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v.
Too patient as I'm playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1)

And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath

Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage
I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before

Before all the fireworks exploded
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
Now what can we say?
Have a nice day
Looks like rain today...

Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late. It'd be great
If you transferred out of state
