1. _ Jamie G.
Jamie g. i want you
Even though i know that i can't have you
Even though
I don't know which way you go
I'm dying to come with you
What kind of times are these
A guy can't do what he pleases
But the way that you tease
I'd risk all diseases
Jamie g. i want you
Even though i know that i can't have you
Even though
I don't know which way you go
I'm dying to come with you
C'mon let's drink champagne
Before they bring back prohibition
Smoke a pack or two
Then try another position
Jamie g. i want you
Even though i know that i can't have you
Even though
I don't know which way you go
I'm dying to come with you

2. _ Trying To Cry
See the guy in the corner
The one who's drinking another glass
There's a look in his eye
That i've seen so many times in the past
I've seen it in the mirror
And i've seen it in my friends
When we realize we've lost ourselves
And we try to make amends
He'll drink another two or three
And the room will start to spin
Then he'll try to let the feelings show
But he'll find he can't give in
You remember what your brother said
Remember what your brother said
"i'll tell the whole class if i see you"
You remember what your mother said
Remember what your mother said
"never be a man if you do"
See the guy in the corner
Putting out another cigarette
Maybe someone is dying
From something that they can't cure yet
Maybe a lover is cheating
Maybe a lover just left
But something's gone, maybe forever
And it's something that he can't forget
You remember what your brother said

3. _ Oh Well
I can't help about the shape i'm in
I can't sing, i ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what i think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Oh well
Now, when i talked to god i knew he'd understand
He said, "stick by my side and i'll be your guiding hand
But don't ask me what i think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to"
Oh well

4. _ The Old Songs
There goes another one
Another happy couple on the road to emptiness
I think of my father and mother
Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess
But the old songs say - love's forever
And the old songs never say die
But a song can't keep us together
How can that beautiful song be a lie
Me i blame the old songs
Filling hearts with rebellion and romance
Our book of revelations
And all we had to do was dance
Play us another one
Play us the hopes and dreams of twenty years ago
They're all over the bloody radio
It's like they're telling us there's nowhere left to go
And the old songs say - "be my baby"
And the old songs say - "she loves you"
All the songs we'll sing come what may be
I like those songs
But i'd like something new
Me i blame the old songs
Protect us all against a change of course
All our great expectations
Turn to alimony and remorse

5. _ Hit Single
You might have seen me hangin' around
I never miss one night i could be on the town
I used to be another one like you
Always running home to that special one or two
And when i think of all the years of finding out
What i already knew
Now i spead myself around
And you can have 3 minutes too
'cause i'm a hit single
Lookin' out for number one
I got a line or two that never fail
And every time you look around i'll be there on your tail
I'm nothing special but i don't give in
Before you know it i'll be there right underneath your skin
And if you think that being serious and smart
Gets you where you should be
You must be not only joking
But way too heavy for me
'cause i'm a hit single
Goin' straight to number one
And when i die and go to pure pop heaven
The angels will gather around
And ask me for my whole life story
And ask for that fabulous sound
But i know they're gonna stop me
As i start going through every line
And say please not the whole damn album
Nobody has that much time
Please . . .
Just the hit single
You gotta love that number one

6. _ Goin' Downtown
I could cool out
I couls hang loose
I could lay my head back in this comfortable noose
I could watch the paint dry
On these rented walls
Or i could run wild with the first wild thing that calls
Goin' downtown . . . goin' downtown
Goin' downtown . . . to stand 'round and stare
And put people down for not being there
Goin' downtown . . . and i'll see you there
But i saw you laugh
At that girl having fun
To show some emotion . . . just isn't done
You can look but don't touch
That's as far as it goes
You're only as good as the cut of your clothes
Goin' downtown . . . goin' downtown
Goin' downtown . . . to stand 'round and stare
And put people down for not being there
Goin' downtown . . . and i'll see you there

7. _ Drowning
I don't love you
But i'm lost
Thinking of you
And the ghosts
Of so many special moments
That passed so quickly at the time
And now they come and track me down
And echo round and round and round
And time goes quickly
Or disappears completely
And i feel like i fade away
Like drowning
I don't need you
But it's so hard
To be without you
Though you're not far away
I censor my emotions
And tell myself to bide my time
But every time you come around
You batter my defenses down
But so gently
Like some sweet hypnosis
And the world just slips away
I'm drowning
It's dark
My heart is pounding
I'm sinking down
Into a pool of passion
There's laughter as i drown
Like so many lost before me
Damned by lust and gone to hell
And then i look into your eyes
And something melts
I shake inside
And cool water
Washes me all over
Washes me away
And still i'm drowning

8. _ My House
I'm moving my car forward a foot at a time
Another red light another warning sign
Is that rain on the windshield
Wonder if it's raining on the jersey side
Tapping my fingers to the radio
But i don't hear a thing
Watching the hookers move in and out of the light
One of these days one of these days . . .
One of these days
I'm gonna smash somebody's car
And smash the copper's face
As they take me away . . .
But i gotta go home now
(don't wanna go to my house)
Only forty minutes to the jersey side
Me and suzy used to read the news and stay up all night
We used to see a lot of people then we just got tired
And gave birth to a perfect little alibi
I take a sip of diet soda and loosen my tie
Another red light another warning sign
Hey that puerto rican hooker must be six feet tall
One of these days one of these days . . .
One of these days
I'm gonna turn the car around
And keep on going
'til i lose track of time . . .
But i gotta go home now
(don't wanna go to my house)
Thirty five minutes to the jersey side
Another red light another warning sign
One of these days one of these days

9. _ It's All Too Much
Some days i can't get started
Wondering which shoe to put on first
Or should i brush my teeth
Before or after i put on my shirt
So many big decisions
Boiled or scrambled, fried or even raw
I'm so damn open-minded
Used to think i'm lucky but i'm cursed
I hate this supermarket
But i have to say it makes me think
A hundred mineral waters
It's fun to guess which ones are safe to drink
Two hundred brands of cookies
87 kinds of chocolate chip
They say that choice is freedom
I'm so free it drives me to the brink
And you know why - it's all too much
It's all too much for me to bear
What kind of shampoo suits my hair
It's all too much to struggle thru
Especially without you
Won't you please come home
Honey please come home
I read the morning paper
But it all changes by the evening news
The world got so much smaller
I don't know which piece of it to choose
I'd like to fight apartheid
Wish that i could fight the guy upstairs
I'd solve a dozen cases
If only there weren't so many clues
What shall we do this evening
Send out for some sushi and champagne
Stay in and watch tv
50 channels can't all be the same
Maybe go to a movie
50 films on 50 tiny screens
They say that choice is freedom
I'm so free it's driving me insane
And you know why - it's all too much
It's all too much for me to stand
So much supply and no demand
There's just too much for me to do
Especially without you
Won't you please come home
Honey please come home
I'd like to get to know
All the many people i could be
If i just had the time
I'm sure i could find out which one is me
Maybe i need religion
Or meditation 'til i disappear
They say that choice is freedom
I'm so free i'm stuck in therapy
And you know why - it's all too much
It's all too much for me to take
Try to be real, feel like a fake
It's all too much to follow thru
Especially without you
Honey please come home
Won't you please come home

10. _ When You're Not Around
You come into my life
And then you go away
You make me feel like a fool
For wanting you to stay
But i'm a busy guy
A lot of things to do
But there's a reason why
Some of them just seem to lose their flavor
I feel like death warmed up
I can't taste the coffee in my cup
I feel so low i'm underground
Every time you're not around
And if i didn't feel so high
And if i didn't feel so proud
Then i wouldn't cry
I wouldn't feel so down
When you're not around
You come and fill me up
With ecstasy and pain
And then i run on empty
'til i see you again
But i've got things to do
And places i can go
I guess i can't blame you
If some of them just seem to feel like nowhere
No, i don't feel so great
I can't taste the sandwich on my plate
I try to sing but there's no sound
Every time you're not around
And if i didn't feel so high
And if i didn't feel so proud
Then i wouldn't cry
I wouldn't feel so down
When you're not around

11. _ Stranger Than Fiction
Please mister can't you help me try to find my baby's house
It's three in the morning in the pouring rain
I can't find the house and i forgot the number
But i gotta give her these roses to relieve her pain
Don't laugh . . . just tell me you've been there before
So we fight but we fight every evening
And i tell you every morning i just love her more
And life goes on . . . filled with disasters and friction
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction
Excuse me operator . . . tell me what time it is
Me and my lover been in bed all day
I think i strained a muscle
I didn't know i had
And tell me what day it is anyway
Don't laugh . . . just tell me you hear what i say
I love her so much i don't even know what planet i'm on
Love her so much i wish she'd just go away
And life goes on . . . filled with bizarre contradictions
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction
I know that sometimes love goes
But sometimes it comes back to getcha
And when love grows
It grows like a flower or grows like a tumor
Love shows that god has a sense of humor
Life goes on . . . ever immune to prediction
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction

12. _ The Other Me
I guess we can still be friends
I guess we can talk at least
But if we were seventeen
Imagine the things we'd do
I know that those days are over
I'm glad that those games are won
And the winners ride off into the sunset
But it's not the same for you
And i don't want to play
Those nasty games that adults play
But i can't let you go
And i can't see another way
And i know that she's the only one for me
But you know that if i could split in two
The other me - would stay all night
The other me - would hold you tight
The other me - would be the only one for you
When i see you there alone
It almost breaks my heart
But it doesn't break enough
For me to break my whole life apart
I guess we could still be friends
And we can talk all night
But i have to bite my tongue
And sometimes words don't come out right
We're old enough to know
What we can think or say out loud
To know that hearts are not just
Cards to play when two's a crowd
And i know that she's the only one for me
But you know that if i could split in two
The other me - would stay all night
The other me - would hold you tight
The other me - would be the only one for you
The other me . . .
Would take you so far away from here
And he'd be . . .
A man with a mission . . .
The other me . . .
Might even be better than this one
And i know that she's the only one for me
But you know that if i could split in two
The other me - would stay all night
The other me - would hold you tight
The other me - would be the only one for you

13. _ Obvious Song
There was a man in the jungle
Trying to make ends meet
Found himself one day with an axe in his hand
When a voice said "buddy can you spare that tree
We gotta save the world - starting with your land"
It was a rock 'n' roll millionaire from the usa
Doing 3 to the gallon in a big white car
And he sang and he sang 'til he polluted the air
And he blew a lot of smoke from a cuban cigar
And the stars are looking down
Through a hole in the sky
And if they can see, they cry
That's obvious
And the walls are coming down
Between the west and the east
You don't have to be a hippie to believe in peace
That's obvious . . . obvious
There was a kid in the city selling crack to get by
Got caught one day with a gun in his hand
When a voice said, "okay, get 'em up in the air
You're too young to live like this
But you ain't too fast to die."
Just another foot-soldier in a stupid little war
Another sound-bite on the american scene
Caught between the supplier only dreaming of money
And the demand of the man with money
Who needs a little help to dream
So we starve all the teachers
And recruit more marines
How come we don't even know what that means
It's obvious
And the walls are coming down
Between the eagle and the dove
You don't have to be a hippie to believe in love
That's obvious . . . obvious
