1. _ Brown Eyed Girl
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Go!
I hear a song makes me think of a girl i used to know
I sing along when i hear it on the radio now
Hey now where did we go
Ooh yeah, days when the rains came
Way down in the hollow
Ooh yeah, playin' a new game
Laughin' and a runnin', hey, hey, hey
Skippin' and a jumpin', yeah, yeah
In the misty morning fog
Oh baby and our hearts a thumpin'
And you
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
I hear a song makes me think of a girl i used to know
Hey, hey, hey
I sing along when i hear it on the radio now
Now that the years gone by
Yeah, now that i'm on my own
Saw you just the other day
Oh my, baby you have grown
Cast my memory back there, lord
Sometimes i am overcome just thinkin' 'bout it
Makin' love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when
Yeah, we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
I hear a song makes me think of a girl i used to know
Hey, hey, hey
I sing along when i hear it on the radio
Hey, hey, hey

2. _ 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 |

4. _ The Honeymoon Song
One, two, three
Two, two, three
You know i love you baby
And i know you love me too
But the fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon
Stepped off the plane into a warm sunny day
Then we got leid together
The sun shines down on a lonely town
Where the fish all smile 'cause they know us
Our wedding day was warm and sunny
Our friends and family came from out of town
We said i do, then ate some food
And smiled 'til the sun went down
We'll take the zodiac, the cadillac
Around the north shore and then we'll head back
The sea turtles come to greet us
So let's get loaded tonight
We'll drink on the flight
Back home, the honeymoon is over
You know i love you baby
And i know you love me too
But the fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon
We're on our honeymoon
We're on our honeymoon
The fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon

5. _ Wonderful
"hey, ain't life wonderful? wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... isn't it wonderful now?"
I close my eyes when i get too sad
I think thoughts that i know are bad
Close my eyes and i count to ten
Hope it's over when i open them
I want the things that i had before
Like a star wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish i could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
Hope my mom and i hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, i hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when i go to bed
And i dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when i hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I go to school and i run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings i just don't wanna go home
Go to my room and i close my eyes
I make believe that i have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, i don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, i don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you say
That i will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And i don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days i hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

6. _ Otis Redding
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy?
Do you remember? do you remember?
Do you remember when we were lucky?
We were livin' the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms
Sit and watch the stars glide
Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers?
Do you remember when we were the lame?
Do you remember when we were the lepers?
Do you remember? do you remember?
Do you remember when we were strung out?
Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let the otis redding sing us to sleep
I wish i had one more life
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, i dont wanna be blind
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, i don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted, i don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted, i don't wanna be blind
I wish i could be like all my heroes
I wish i could be like all yours too
I wish i could sing like otis redding
I wish i could play this guitar in tune
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy in a way
No one outside could ever know?
I wish i had one more life
How i wish i had one more life to live
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, i don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted
No, i don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I dont wanna be wasted, i don't wanna be
I dont wanna be wasted, i don't wanna be
I dont wanna be wasted, i don't wanna be blind
No, i don't want to be blind
No, i don't want to be blind

7. _ Now That It's Over
Yeah right!
One, two, three, four
Break down, shake for me
Nothing ever is the way you want it to be
Nothing even tastes right now that it's over
Break down, shake for me
Don't write words unless you want me to read them
Nothing really matters now that it's over
Maybe we can be friends
Now that we're older
We can have fun like we did in the early days
Now that it's over
Yeah right!
Break down, shake for me
Nothing ever seems the way it ought to be
Nothing ever seems right now that it's over
Yeah, now maybe we can be friends
Maybe we can be closer
We can have fun like we did in the old days
Now that it's over
Oh yeah...
My bad dreams just don't seem the same
Baby without you
I wish you were willing to accept the blame
Yeah, for everything you do
My nightmares just don't scare me now
Baby without you, yeah yeah
I wish that i could find the words to tell
In the best way possible, you and your friends to go to hell
Yeah right!
Whoa, breakup time is never easy to do
Nothing ever ends the way you want it to
Nothing seems to make sense now that it's over
Yeah, now maybe we can be friends
Yeah, now that you're leaving
You can be nice to me
Maybe i'm dreaming
I am a lot better now than just okay
Maybe i am just wakin' up in my own way
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
My bad dreams just don't seem the same
Baby without you
I wish you were willing to accept the blame
Yeah, for all the shitty things you do
Nightmares just don't scare me now
Baby without you
I wish that i could find the words to tell
You to politely go fuck yourself
Yeah, now that it's over...
"congratulations. a fetishist and an obsessive. you'll be very happy together."

8. _ Thrift Store Chair
Baby go to bed and put out the light
We both know if we talk anymore
We're gonna end up in a great big fight
You can have your way again
Yeah, you believe what you wanna believe
You can walk all over me tomorrow
But tonight can we both just pretend to sleep
I think we're headed for a big fall
I think we're headed for a bad time
Ooh yeah you're gonna go downstairs
And sit in that chair you like
Gonna put a john prine record on
I think we need to slow it down for a while
Yeah i wish we had never bought a king size bed
Yeah only damn thing that it's ever been good for
Plenty room for the real good sex
I lay in bed in the dark and all that i can see
Yeah, is the distance that grows between us
You seem so far from me
I think we're headed for a real big fall
Yes we're headed for a bad time
Yeah gonna go downstairs
Sit by myself all alone in the middle of the night
Gonna put a john prine record on
Yes we need to slow it down for a while
Gonna go downstairs
Smoke cigarettes in a thrift store chair tonight
Gonna put a john prine record on
Yeah we need to slow it down for a while
We need to slow it down for a while...

9. _ 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

11. _ Song From An American Movie Pt. 1
The only thing that ever made sense to me
Is the words to a song from an american movie
The only thing that ever made sense in my life
Is the sound of my little girl laughing
Through the window of a summer night
I sit alone in the back yard
Wishing i could be inside
Just the sound of my little girl laughing
Makes me happy just to be alive...
