1. _ Thrift Store Chair

2. _ Otis Redding

3. _ AM Radio

'~KHJ Los Angeles!~ Portions of the day's programming are reproduced by means of
electrical transcriptions or tape recordings.'

You can hear the music on the AM radio

The VCR and the DVD
There wasn't none of that crap back in 1970
We didn't know about a World Wide Web
It was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid

Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walkin' in style with a portable CD player
No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

Flashback, '72
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hangin' out with nothing to do
Sometmes we'd go drivin' around
In my sister's Pinto
Cruisin' with the windows rolled down
We'd listen to the radio station
We were too damn cool to buy the eight track tapes
There wasn't any good time to want to be inside
My mama wanna watch that TV all goddamn night

I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio
I can still hear Mama say ¡°Boy turn that radio down!'

¡°Aw, Mom. Not that show again! I don't wanna watch that show! Can't we watch Good Times
or Chico and the Man or something cool? Turn it off!'

Things changed back in '75
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted gettin' high in the back of my friend's van

I remember 1977
I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin
I got a guitar on Christmas day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come from Santa Monica and teach me to play
Teach me to play...

There isn't any place that I need to go
There isn't anything that I need to know
I did not learn from the radio

Yeah when things get stupid and I just don't know
Where to find my happy
I listen to my music on the AM radio
You can hear the music on a AM radio
You can hear the music on a AM radio

I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco
I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco
We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco...

No I never liked disco...

7. _ Song From An American Movie Pt. 1

8. _ The Honeymoon Song

9. _ Unemployed Boyfriend

[Answering machine:] ¡°Hi, this is Peggy. Leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya.'

¡°Hey Peggy, it's me. You are never going to believe what happened to me today. I'm
sittin' at the unemployment office, waitin' on my loser of a caseworker, in one of those
nasty chairs, when from out of nowhere, this total stranger walks right up to me, sits
down, then leans over and says something like, 'This is gonna sound a little
obsessive.''

This is gonna sound a little obsessive
This is gonna sound a little bit strange
I have one thing to say
Before I turn and I walk away

This is gonna sound a little impulsive
This is gonna sound a little insane
I know you don't know me yet
But you and I, we will be together someday
Someday
I know, I know, I sound like I'm on drugs
Listen to me when I say

That ever since when I first saw you
Sittin' on your car outside
You asked for a cigarette
I couldn't stop starin' at your eyes

Ever since when I first saw you
Looking bored in that plastic chair
With the lights of the office around you
Those blond streaks, they look so pretty in your black hair
You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare
Yeah you want people to think that you just don't care

Hey you can be with me
Yeah 'cause I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're perfect
Who will always make you come
Hey you can be with me
Yes I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend

¡°Can you believe he said that to me? To me, of all people! I can't even remember the
last time a guy took me out on a date and actually paid for it!'

This is gonna sound a little bit out there
This is gonna sound a little insane
I keep having the same dream
You will be the mother of my children someday
Someday

I heard you sleep with that obnoxious guy
I know he is in that famous band
You look so sad when you are with him
Yes I never see him reach to hold your hand

Yeah you can be with me
Yes I will treat you like a queen
I will go to all those chick flick movies
That I really don't want to see
Yeah you can be with me
No I will never let you down
I will never make out with your girlfriend
When I know you're not around
Yes you can be with me
Yeah I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're special
I will always make you come
You can be with me
Yes I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend

¡°Can you believe this? I mean, can this be for real?'

No!

'Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away.'

Whoa!

'I mean, wow. But you know, the weird thing is, he's actually kind of cute, in a
really intense way. Kinda like Perry Farrell, you know. Intense, but sensitive. Anyway, I
told my bitchy sister about it, and she just laughed at me. I told her I'm really excited
about this! That I have a really good feeling about this guy! I told her, 'This could be
the guy.' I'm like...'

10. _ Here We Go Again

'Here we go again!'

You know I like to watch you sleep
No I don't wanna touch you, you'll get mad at me
No I don't wanna think about the bad times
Anyone could have a bad year

Now I don't want you to show me
Do not want you to know me
The way I used to be
All these good things we have
Would not mean a damn to me
And I don't wanna hear those words you feel you have to say
When you find out how I used to be
Back in the day

Yeah, you know I like the way you slide
Yeah, yes I like it when you do that slow glide
Now, please don't badtalk all those good times
Don't ask for answers, baby, that you do not want to hear

Now I don't want you to make me
Do not need you to break me
Of all my childish ways
I'm still the same, you know
Dumb, rock hard, and good to go
I still hear them voices calling me from back in the day
Oh baby can't you see there ain't no place I'd rather be

Then watchin' dirty movies
In that happy room with you
Sleepin' on a mattress in the corner
Eating Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head
Say here we go again

Now here we go again

I know you like the way I rock
Sometimes I just need to drown out all that bad talk
Yeah, I could not care less what your friends say
Someone's always talkin' shit about the old days

You do not need to remind me
That I left it all behind
Those things I used to do
I don't want that other life 'cause I am so in love with you
I can barely hear it calling me from back in the day
Oh baby can't you see there ain't no place I'd rather be

Then watching dirty movies
In that happy room with you
Sleepin' on a mattress in the corner
Eating Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head
Say here we go again

Yeah here we go again
Oh baby here we go again
I know, here we go...

Baby baby can't you see

Yes I know you got some doubts
I know you don't believe
I know you think I'm crazy
Yeah but I know you're just like me
When I hear that voice inside me
Makes me want to jump right in
Sayin' here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go again

Let's go watch some dirty movies
Yes in that nasty little room
Sleepin' on the mattress while we eat that greasy Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head
Say here we go again

Baby, here we go again
