1. Carousel
The same as on Cheshire Cat.

2. T.V.
The same as on Cheshire Cat

3. Strings
Same as on Cheshire Cat

4. Fentoozler
Same as on Cheshire Cat

5. Time
When the clock strikes two
There's just so much to do
And I can't explain what I need
Jobs and social groups
Hearing the latest news
Keeping your reputation clean

And I don't
Want to worry
About being on time
I the way you hurry
And time runs you live
Again

The difference between East and West
Money means so much less
And objects aren't so important to buy
I wish that a clock
Could just be stopped
And then we look into the time
(repeat chorus)

6. Romeo and Rebecca
The same as on Cheshire Cat

7. 21 Days
My mind wonders
As I'm trying not to fall in love with you
'Cause every time I awake
I ponder on my mistakes of
What I said, It's always my esteem that I sure lose
Playing those stupid games as I always end up chasing you

I can't help myself anymore
Rehearsing my thoughts as I'm too scared to come  to your door
I pushed it all aside just to stand next to you
But now you won't talk to me for something that
That I didn't do

It's not gonna work

And I'm trying no to think of you
I'm all confused
As I get all nervous inside
My emotions are something  that I will always hide

8. Sometimes
The same as on Cheshire Cat

9. Point of View
Two different people, two different places
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you have got in

Stubborn minded enclosed to your own world
Wake up and see someone else's morals
Want is right to right
Might be true

It's a different point of view to you
you cannot see things that are different to me
And I can't understand why you cannot see
The things that I cannot understand

I see what you don't see
I see what you don't see
Turn around and the shadows are all around me
(repeat 1st verse)

10. My Pet Sally
I'm gonna wanna see myself with something too
Friends I don't pay are friends I never knew
So I took the chance and got some help from few

Cause I have the time and the liberty
To play with my pet Sally please
Don't go away, Sally please

No more lonely showers and uneaten food
My salamander has hygiene too
And he thinks me the way I think of you
The only next step is for him t say I do
(repartee chorus)

Sally please don't go away, I won't be
Hung in yesterday the lonely night,
Getting beat up by gays in  bar fights

11. Reebok Commercial
You are better than me
Girls, money, and everything
I try to compete with you
But you beat me at everything I do
I see in you
The things that would like to be
But I'm different from you
So you will have to be like me

I can not be bought
My personality is what I choose
I was brought up with out a silver cup
I won't covet the things owned by you
For all the world
Material things are now more and more
Jealousy for you and me
I won't covet the things owned by your own store

12. Toast and Bananas
Same as on Cheshire Cat

13. The Girl Next Door
A white girl living in the city
In a big apartment house
She's living with her boyfriend now
She drives off everyday for school and work
She washes dishes now
And watches tv on the pull-out couch

But every day's the same (but every day's the same)
And every day's the same (and every day's the same)
And every day's the same (and every day's the same)
And every day's the same (and every day's the same)
And every day's the same

A white girl moves back to the suburbs
She's finally found a man
Who know's how to take care of her
(repeat chours)

The white girl couldn't go on knowing
That she was just here wasting time
She drowned in the lake last night
They found her floating body, bloated
But she still walks around
Performing all her daily chores

She still don't know
What life's about
She still don't know
What life's about
(repeat chours)

14. Don't
There was a time long ago
But it seemed like yesterday
When all I wanted was you
And now you make the same way
As you turn your face away
And I know your words aren't true

And I don't want your lies
And I don't think I'm gonna let you inside
You can take off your disguise
Cause I can see what
You got hiding behind your eyes

And all those words that you don't say
Just mean less and less each day
You can't make me shed a tear
I think about tomorrow
Another day of sorrow
But I don't think that I'll be here
(repeat chorus)
