I Get You

Maybe you think I don’t wanna stay around here
Maybe you think I will run away with your love
But we’re not gonna break up…
Cuz I know something good about your heart
it’s deep and wide and warm like the ocean
How can I keep myself together when you walk through
My thoughts are feathers and they follow you out the room
But I’m not gonna freak out …
Cuz I know something good’s gonna start
And it’s big high and wide and just like the sky
I get you
I get you
I get you
I get you
I don’t know how much time we have left in this world
We could be together forever as far as I’m concerned
But I’m not gonna freak out …
Cuz I know it was writ in the stars
And it goes just as deep as you want it to
I get you
I get you
I get you
I get you
I…
I…

They Got a Dream
03:06
|
|

Bobby and Rita live in the city
You know they’re just getting by
Keeping the people entertained with their cam show
One click at a time
Rita’s gonna be in the movies someday
Bobby’s gonna get her there
But for right now the hours are good
They got a room to share
They ain’t got much but they gotta dream
Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream
Rita she moved away from her family
The situation was bad
In Poland the Catholics take it seriously
Especially her dad
Bobby was a bouncer in a night club but
He didn’t like that scene
So Bobby and Rita they became legends
Of the tiny screen
They ain’t got much but they gotta dream
Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream
They ain’t got much but they gotta dream
Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream
They saved up their money, moved to Toronto
The movie industry there
Their popular camshow still supporting their lifestyle
They lived like millionaires
Then she got a part in an independent movie
Just had to make it seem
Like she was as into it as she was with Bobby
Oh yeah she nailed the scene
They ain’t got much but they gotta dream
Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream
They ain’t got much but they gotta dream
Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream
A dream a dream
A dream a dream
A dream

Mister Universe

Mr Universe
Won’t you come and say hello
We’ve been waiting
How long you’ll never know
The world seems weird without you
But if you’d show up there’d never be any doubt
Mr Gravity
Won’t you ease up on me
I would like to live
In the top of a tree
Things would be weird without you
If you could take off we’d never
have to fall down
We’ve been in solitary for so long now
And some sort of confirmation would be much better than these sacred cows
Mr Gravity- Take it to the B
Mr Dynamite- Come and see
Just how incendiary this life can be
Mr Universe - won’t you come and spend some energy
On me
Mr Universe - Come spend some time with me
Oooh ooh ooh

I Was Moved
03:14

Nothing phases me
I’m steady on my feet
I can take most anything
i keep my business in the street
but when I looked at you
and saw it in your eyes
I tried to play it cool but…
I was moved I was moved
I was moved I was moved
Oh yes i tried to play it cool play it cool
but I was moved
They say i got no conscience
they say i’m too rational
But i don't like nonsense
I’ve been told that I’m ice cold
But when I looked at you
Saw it in your eyes
I felt the heat come through
I was moved I was moved
I was moved I was moved
Oh yes i tried to play it cool play it cool
but I was moved
But when I looked at you
Saw it in your eyes
Yeah I got shook by you
I was moved I was moved
I was moved I was moved
Oh yes i tried to play it cool play it cool
but I was moved
I was moved I was moved
I was moved I was moved
Oh yes i tried to play it cool play it cool
but I was moved

Tale of Woe
03:15
|
|

Woe
Woe
I’d like to sit out on the rocks and stare up at the trees
The world is too fast for me
And what would you do if I sat there so long
That I turned into stone, would you still love me?
You know Jonah was swallowed by the whale
And trouble’s like a shadow over me
I try to take it with me everywhere I go
But noone wants to hear my tale of Woe
Woe
Everybody likes to tell you his own
Make sure your keep talking fast
Cause if the words keep flying nobody’ll have to know
That you threw out the baby with the bath
I set myself down on a park bench
And start a-shoutin’ to the people walkin by
I try to tell my story to everyone I know
But noone wants to hear my tale of Woe
My tale of woe
Woe…
Woe…
But they’ll tell you their own
Oh they’ll tell you their own
They’ll tell you their own
Even if nobody’s home
Yeah I try to tell my story to everyone I now
But noone wants to hear my tale of woe
I try to tell my story to everyone I know
But noone wants to hear my tale of woe
I’d like to sit out on the rocks and stare up at the trees
The world is too fast for me

Cleanup on 9
02:35

|

You left me last week
And ever since then I’ve been
Lonesome
But I get up each day
Put on my coat any my shoes
Go down to my job
And try to pretend that I’m happy
I see lots of people
But they just remind me of you
(Ch)
I stroll through produce
And back to my office
But sadness is my companion
I mistreated you baby
And I know that maybe
You never do quite know where you’re standin’
Whoa and down by the checkout
They’re changing shifts
But I’ll be here for all time
To keep myself sane
Here I’ll remain
And I’m sorry
Cleanup on 9
The days go so slow
As I wait for you to reply
As that I change the paper
I am always wondering why
And down on aisle 9
The olive display’s just caved in
Just like this feeling there’s no
Putting back together again
I stroll through produce
And back to my office
But sadness is my only friend
I hurt you baby
And I know that maybe
You’ll never come and see me again
Whoa and down by the checkout
They’re changing shifts
But I’ll be here for all time
To keep myself sane
Here I’ll remain
And I’m sorry
Cleanup on 9

My Companion
02:23
|
|
||
Death is my companion
He travels at my side
Sometimes I talk to him
when I got no place to hide
But he don’t scare me, not at all
In fact it’s kinda nice
Keeps me in the moment
Gives me good advice
(and) Everybody thinks he’ll never find them
But you got an appointment don’t forget
You just may be walking right behind him
the road is long and he ain’t finished yet
The gravel on the road
Makes a grinding sound
Sometimes it’s a rhythm
Coming from the ground
We’ve got our marching orders
Toward that golden shore
But when he cuts us down
We ain’t a’marching anymore
(and) Everybody thinks he’ll never find them
But you got an appointment don’t forget
You just may be walking right behind him
the road is long and he ain’t finished yet
Oblivion is waiting
Just around the bend
We May have time to understand
Or it maybe it just ends
There’s a moment that we’re living
And it’s in the here and now
Everytime i try to take it up
It only brings me down
(and) Everybody thinks he’ll never find them
But you got an appointment don’t forget
You just may be walking right behind him
the road is long and he ain’t finished yet

Soon Again
Things will be happenin’
We been in the hole so long
Soon again
L-L-L-Listentin’
I hear some noise is creeping in
Something sneakin’ in around the door
It’s coming in
Nobody knows what it’s gonna be
We’ll take it on and we will see
Jump back in to the human race
Look it right in the face
With you
Oh yeah
Uh-huh
Oh-woah-oh
Oh yeah
Uh-huh
Free again
Feel like we’ve been snowed in
We’re gonna build Rome in a day
Hustlin’
C-C-C-Cloudy Day
Rested up and ready to play
I wanna meet somebody new
Do just like we used to do
Nobody knows what it’s gonna be
We’ll take it on and we will see
Jump back in with eyes wide
There’s no reason left to hide
Away
Nobody knows what it’s gonna be
We’ll take it on and we will see
Jump back in to the human race
Look it right in the face
With you
Oh-woah-oh
Oh yeah
Uh-huh

Out for Cigarettes
01:30
|
|

I feel lonesome
I feel blue
It seems like the world is against me
And it’s against you too
and God’s gone out for cigarettes again
he said he’ be right back
but I’m still waiting
for that feeling
Seems like he’s hesitating
‘cuz God’s gone out for cigarettes again
God’s gone out for cigarettes, out for cigarettes again
Seems like the devil might be my only friend
I feel lonesome
I feel blue
Seems like the world is against me
And it’s against you too
and God’s gone out for cigarettes again

Time Goes Back
04:08
|
|
||
I’d like to go back
To the beginning
Before I broke your heart
And hurt your feelings
A lot of wrong turns
When you rewind
You could get messed up
Pick the wrong timeline
I’d like to go back and fix all my mista-eeks
But time goes back a long way
Time goes back a long way
Time goes back a long way
Time goes back a long way
I’ll get it right when
I find the moment
Though I may wander
Lost in emotion
If I could show you
Just how you faded
Only to come back
Much overrated
I’d like that to think that it’s all a game
But i can't go back from where i came
Time goes back a long way
Time goes back a long way
Yeah
Time goes back a long way
I found a penny
Put it in my pocket
I threw it in the river
Forgot about it
Only weighs you down
So you can wish away
What’s here tomorrow
Is gone the next day
I’d like to go back and fix all my mista-eeks
But time goes back a long way
Time goes back a long way
Time goes back a long way
Yeah
Time goes back a long way
What did I say
Goes back a long long way
Time Time Time Time Time
Goes back, goes back
