Lyrics
1. I Need - M. Brooks / S. Peiken
I need some good luck, I need a best friend, I need a rough dog, I need a mountain, I need some new clothes, A TV, a cause, A trip to Nirvana, The thrill of applause, I need a wet kiss, I need to confess, I need a vision, religion, The right to be silent, And then to be heard, A week on an island, A diet that works
I need a dose of the Bible , Another course in survival, Just talkin' 'bout the essentials , To make me feel alive
Chorus:
That's all I need, See how easy I am to please, That's all I need, See how easy I am
I need some money, more money, and more time A strong cup of coffee, A haircut a lifeline, A stranger to trust me, My father to love me, Seattle, a sunburn, And lots of Todd Rundgren, I need a guitar, To do it on all fours, Cool friends, weekends, And someone to die for
When I'm alone on my couch, Nothing can settle me down, I'm adding on to my list, It makes me feel alive
Chorus
I need Guru, I need to chill, I need a Mercedes 280 SL, Yeah. That'll fix it, I'll be complete, I need a, I need a, I need a
That's all I need, See how easy I am to please, That's all I need, Maybe then I will be complete, That's all I need, I'm not asking for everything, That's all I need, See how easy I am, I am
2. Bitch - M. Brooks / S. Peiken
I hate the world today,
You're so good to me,
I know, but I can't change,
Tried to tell you,
But you look at me like maybe,
I'm an angel underneath,
Innocent and sweet,
Yesterday I cried,
You must have been relieved to see,
The softer side,
I can understand how you'd be so confused,
I don't envy you,
I'm a little bit of everything,
All rolled into one
Chorus:
I'm a bitch,
I'm a lover,
I'm a child,
I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner,
I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,
I'm your hell,
I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am,
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man,
Rest assure that,
When I start to make you nervous,
And I'm going to extremes,
Tomorrow I will change,
And today won't mean a thing
Chorus
Just when you think,
You got me figured out,
The season's already changing,
I think it's cool,
You do what you do,
And don't try to save me
Chorus
I'm a bitch,
I'm a tease,
I'm a goddess,
On my knees,
When you hurt,
When you suffer,
I'm your angel undercover,
I've been numb,
I'm revived,
Can't say I'm not alive,
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
3. Somedays - M. Brooks / L. Dvoskin
Some days goes your way,
You're on a roll you can't explain,
And then it all goes down the drain,
Your cat's hit by a car,
The ATM eats your card,
You're wondering what changed from yesterday
Save me from going mental,
Save me from just spinning out
Some days are better than lovers,
Some days you just can't figure out,
Some days you can't explain
My best friend and me one night,
Were drinking Pete's on Crescent Heights,
Just like that we end up in a fight,
Like a yo-yo up and down,
You're heading north you end up south
Save me from going mental,
Save me from just spinning out,
Some days are better than lovers,
Some days you just can't figure out,
Some days are better than others,
You can't explain,
Some days away,
Some days
Some days are better,
Some days are never,
Some days whatever
Chorus
4. Watched You Fall - M. Brooks / C.Ward
You were my wild companion
We were forever high
We burned the night around us
Sleeping could wait until we die
You wear the scars of passion
And since the crashing came
You've broken every promise
I walked away
I watched you fall
I was blind to you
Was lying to you like everybody else
Who watched you fall
They say they love you
But they're laughing when you crawl
It's such a weary feeling
When you've been stealing from yourself
Wishing the world away
Blaming someone else
Now no one can do this for you
Straighten your hair and fix your face
Take all the pain inside you
Wash it away
Chorus
Did I hear you,
Did I try,
Can I forgive myself for not standing by
Chorus
5. Pollyanne - M. Brooks / S. Peiken
Here we go again
Same old argument
You callin' me Miss Pollyanne
You see the world as cruel
And being mad is cool
You think that I don't give a damn
You don't have to shout to be heard
Who said dark is deep
You'd rather flip the bird
I'd rather show you signs of peace
Love ain't a dyin' art
As far as I can see
Oh,sentimental me
Fist up in the air
Mine used to be up there
You only give yourself away
Paint your roses black and blue
Use the fuck word I can too
When I have nothing else to say
Chorus
Here we go again
So we may never change
You can call me Pollyanne
6. Shatter - M. Brooks / S. Peiken
Prick of a pin
No blood on me
I've been tested totaled wasted
In too deep
To the zone
I retreat
What doesn't kill ya makes you strong eventually
Blade to my skin
Blurring the edge
Seven doves are waiting for me up ahead
I just breathe in
I just breathe out
I've taken every hairpin curve by now
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but it doesn't matter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack
Promised the world
Dropped in a pool
Was it fun
Did you enjoy acting so cruel
Well here's the thing
Still have my head
I stumble hard
But I'm not sleepin' in your bed
Saved by the sun
No shame on me
We come out screaming
It's the only time we're free
I just breathe out
I just breathe in
I ride the wave until I come again
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but it doesn't matter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Cuz I still have a secret
In the dark I keep it close
I still have a secret no one knows
I may crack but I'll never shatter
Tested wasted over and over
I may crack but it doesn't matter
In the darkness
I am the shatter
Shake down
Twisted and tied
It's amusing that I'm still electrified
I just breathe in
I just breathe out
I may crack but I'll never shtater
I still have a secret
I still have a secret no one knows
I may crack but I'll never shatter
I may crack
7. My Little Town - Brooks / Lynch / Corey
We lock the doors at night
All the sirens scream
I don't drive my car
Insurance is too high
I live here in the city
My home town's far away
I work out with concrete
I don't drive my car
The stars come out at night
You see them on the strip
Everybody arms themselves
There's no other place like this
I'll never leave
The small town girl behind
The place where I come from
Is with me all the time
Oh you could walk the streets
When the sun goes down
In my little town
You don't need defenses
When the sun goes down
In my little town
Back home on the street
After ten at night
Mrs. Avery walks her dog
Checks to see what's going on
She doesn't lock the door
She lives here in good health
You don't hear the horn
When Mrs. Avery walks the dog
All I ever wanted
Was a view of city lights
Break away from here
Leave behind the quiet nights
Spend half your life
Trying to make a change
Spend the other half trying
To get back again
Chorus
Look down the road, look up the highway
Look past the fences, look at their faces
What do you have on the other side
Chorus
Electricity eye to eye
Hey don't I know you
I can't speak
Stripped my senses
On the spot
I've never been defenseless
I can't even make sense of this
You speak and I don't hear a word
What would happen if we kiss
Would your tongue slip past my lips
Would you run away, would you stay
Or would I melt into you
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust
The room is spinning out of control
Act like you didn't notice
You brushed my hand
Forbidden fruit
Ring on my finger
You're such a moral moral man
You throw it away, no question
Will I pretend I'm innocent
Chorus
I struggle with myself again
Quickly the walls are crumblin'
Don't know if I can turn away
Chorus
9. It Don't Get Better - M. Brooks / K. Dukes
Woke up this morning with my head so heavy
Thought about leaving on the next train coming
Sometimes it gets so easy runnin' from
Town to town
But changing beds
Won't change this feeling that I'm gonna drown
Too many hearts are broken
We never ask why
Too many sunsets are just
Passing us by
Come over here
Don't be shy
Do you wanna be happy or
You wanna be right
It don't get much better than this
There's nowhere left to run to
No use worryin' 'bout what you missed
'Cause here it is baby
It don't get better than this
We talk and talk and never know what it means
It really doesn't matter 'cause
Nothing's ever what it seems
All I ever wanted is here with you
But sometimes baby I get
Wrapped up and confused
Let's go on down to the edge of the sand
Take some time take my hand
So much here we don't understand
So kiss me like the world's
Gonna end
Chorus
10. Birthday - M. Brooks / S. Peiken
When's your birthday
What's your middle name
Who's your hero
What's your favorite flavor ice cream
Can you tell me - tell me this
Are you Aries
Are you on the cusp of Cancer
Gonna get to know you better
What? No it's not a quiz
You can trust me
Now we'll dig a little deeper
Let's trade numbers
Let's trade beepers
So I can find you any place
Hey why you lookin' at your watch
We haven't had dessert
It's early
Just 8:30
It is only our first date
I wanna know
Do you love me yet
Do you feel the same
Am I your everything
I wanna know
Isn't true love great
C'mon tell me
When's your birthday
Where you goin'?
Why you leavin'?
After all we've been through
Can't you think of me?
I'll think of you
Don't throw it all away
I'll quit my job
I'll have your children
You'll work hard
I'll spend your millions
Hey, no pressure
You've got time
Just don't make me wait
I wanna know
Do you believe in fate
When you movin' in
Be my everything
I wanna know
We are for always
C'mon tell me
When's your birthday
When's your birthday
And it isn't just an oxytocin high
I never felt this way about any other guy before
I ain't gettin' any younger
I ain't foolin' any more
I wanna know
Do you love me yet
Wanna wear your ring
Be your everything
I wanna know
Isn't true love great
C'mon tell me
C'mon tell me
I wanna know
Do you believe in fate
Do you feel the same
Be my everything
I wanna know
Isn't true love great
C'mon tell me
When's your birthday
11. Stop - M. Brooks / L. Dvoskin
It's seven in the morning and you're walkin'
Out the door You got no time for coffee
And I'm standing here rememberin'
When my kisses made you late
Wanna take a minute for my morning meditation
But I'm on the phone call waiting clicks
And I'm under an invasion
And I feel like I'm a spinning ball
In a lottery cage
If we ain't making love
How can we be lovers
Gonna post a vacancy sign
Under the covers
Before it gets too late
I'm gonna say
Ooh stop what you're doin'
And love me now
Ooh I'm makin' my move
Come on and love me now
I come home so tired
Wanna put my feet up
You watch Letterman and eat something
Old I heat up
And we both fall asleep
Before the rooster starts to crow
No time to fight
We pretend love is so sweet
When all we're missing is what's betweenthe sheets
We used to find an hour between the stop and go
Whatever happened to staying up all night
When the bed became our island
It was just you and I
Our troubles would slip away
When you'd say
Chorus
Time, time
Time, time, time
All we need a little time
Just you and I
A Magic ride
Chorus
12. Wash My Hands - M. Brooks / L. Dvoskin / S. Peiken
Wash my hands
Of crimes
Pour the water over
My skin
My spine
Cleanse my soul
And ease my mind
I've been fixed on all the damage done
Why do I always forget how far I've come
I...
I'm done dying for the past
I...
I'm done dyin' for the past
Say all's forgiven now
Let's call it even
Shall we?
Can't you?
Judge me for my love and not mistakes I've made
I swear by who I am and not by yesterday
Chorus
In between the black and white I disappear
Circle round the stone until I landed here
Chorus
I took the lyrics from Pollyanne
