I wish it was last September We could lose ourselves in crowds everyday 'Cos Emaline, don't walk in time She's not the same that's all you can say When I've heard enough, I tell myself That we've learnt our lesson But I don't want to walk away from Emaline They're talking now Does she now what they're saying? She's got the air, to float above it I'm sinking in the summer champagne She's dear to me, and so expensive Now I'm not talking 'bout money But money talks, I hate to listen But lately it's been screaming in my ear When I've heard enough, I tell myself That we've learnt our lesson But I don't wanna walk away from Emaline It only took me one look to understand Emaline Sometimes I don't know what she's saying Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't know what she's saying But I know, I know what she's wants to be I wish it was last September Don't let me walk away from Emaline for stupid reasons Now I'm not talking 'bout money But money talks, I hate to listen But lately it's been screaming in my ear One advice: girls needs attention Well are you deafer than all my We always were, she's got attention From people like you Now I've heard enough I tell you what We really shouldn't see anyone I take it and I see my Emaline I wish it was |

6: Tom Mary | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For the benefit of Tom and Mary Before our guests arrive If they haven't found out already It's gonna blow their minds. Will they find the strength to find the will to testify? And for the benefit of Tom and Mary There's something we can't hide anymore Everybody here knows the story Some have fabricated extra parts See the sisters shouting whispers Feeding heartache to the sparks. Put a damper on the party It will lighten up this room. And for the benefit of Tom and Mary They've got to see the truth today Miss Powersson says here they come And all the chatter and the smiles have come undone And you could here a pin drop on the carpet floor Everyone's pretending not to hear them knocking at the door For the benefit of Tom and Mary Before our guests arrive If they haven't found out already it's gonna blow their minds If they haven't found our already And all the seams all seem to show And for the benefit of Tom and Mary For the benefit of Tom and Mary For the benefit of Tom and Mary We gotta let the truth be known |

12: Julianne | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I met this girl, she looked like Axl Rose Got drunk and took her home and we slept in our clothes And in the morning put my feet on the floor and I thought Being awake never felt like this before And Julianne y'know she wouldn't approve Talked only on the phone 'cause I had nothing to do Got rid of Axl by the afternoon Being awake never felt so clear and Blue, that's all I knew Guess that I was innocent too I sing a song, yeah, and it won't be the blues Cos I don't miss Julianne My friend she told me she felt sorry for me She said the truth would come crashing down on me That I'd be sorry but the truth of it is That I feel guilty for not giving a shit Yahoo, that's all I knew Guess that I was innocent too I sing a song, yeh, and it won't be the blues I don't miss Julianne I got my bag of trash, I got my bag of trash I drag it up and down, I drag it up and down the road How could she miss a man Who drags a bag of trash down the road This week I feel like I been born again I know that Julianne, she would have a fit She'd find a reason for the things that I did She gave me credit for the things that I've never been Ohhh, that's what I do, guess I'm inoccent too I can try hard as I can, but I don't miss Julianne I can try hard as I can, but I don't miss Julianne |

So you wanted to take a break? Slow it down some, and have some space? Well fuck you too! Give me my money back, Give me my money back, you bitch. I want my money back and don't forget And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt I wish I hadn't bought you dinner Right before you dumped me on your front porch Give me my money back, give me my money back, you bitch I want my money back and don't forget And don't forget to give me back my black T-Shirt So you wanted to take a break? Slow it down some and have some space? Give me my money back, give me my money back, you bitch I want my money back I want my money back and don't forget |

14: Philosophy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Won't you look up at the skyline At the mortar, block, and glass And check out the reflections in my eyes You see they always used to be there Even when this was all was grass And I sang and danced about a high-rise And you were laughing at my helmet hat Laughing at my torch Go ahead you can laugh all you want But I got my philosophy, keeps my feet on the ground And I trust it like the ground And that's why my philosophy Keeps me walking when I'm falling down I see that there is evil and I know that there is good Yet the in-betweens I never understood Won't you look at me I'm crazy But I get the job done Yeah, I'm crazy but I get the job done And I say... Go ahead you can laugh all you want But I got my philosophy, keeps my feet on the ground And I trust it like the ground And that's why my philosophy Keeps me walking when I'm falling down I pushed you cause I loved you guys I did not realize you weren't having fun And I dragged you up the stairs And I told you to fly You were flapping your arms When you started to cry, you were too high, too high You take this all for granted You take the mortar, block, and glass And you forget the speech that moved the stone But it's really not that you can't see The forest from the trees You never been out in the woods alone So you can laugh all you want to I've got my philosophy, keeps my feet on the ground And I love you you're my friend But you got no philosophy And now it's time for the song to end |

15: Twin Falls | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Christmas, twin falls, Idaho is her Oldest memory She was only two, it's the first time she felt blue Cafeteria harrison, elementary Beneath a parachute, I saw her without shoes Seven up I touched her thumb and she knew it was me Although she couldn't see, unless of course she peeked My mom's good she got me out of Twin Falls, Idaho Before I got too old But you know how that goes That's where she still was the summer when she turned 17 1983, three weeks after me And last I heard, she had twins Or maybe it was three Although I've never seen That don't bother me |

16: Boxing | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Howard, the strangest thing Has happened lately when I take a good swing And all my dreams they pivot and slip I drop my fists and they're back Laughing Howard My intention's become not to lose what I've won Ambition has given way to desperation and I Lost the fight for my eyes Boxing's been good to me, Howard Now I'm told, you're growing old The whole time we knew In a couple of years I'd be through Has boxing been good to you? Howard, now I confess, I'm scared and lonely and tired They seem to think I'm made of clay Another day, I'm not cut out for this I just know what to say, I say Boxing's been good to me, Howard Now I'm told, you're growing old The whole time we knew In a couple of years I'd be through Has boxing been good to you? Well sometimes I punch myself as hard as I can Yelling "nobody cares" hoping someone will tell me how Wrong I am Boxing's been good to me, Howard Now I'm told, you're growing old The whole time we knew In a couple of years I'd be through Has boxing been good to you? Has boxing been good Has boxing been good to you? |
