I Don't Want To Know (If You Don't Want Me)

I know where you live yeah 
And I wanna live there too 
I drive by almost every day 
It's not even really on my way 
When am I gonna get to see you

I won't be misunderstood 
It won't do you any good 
Think I'm not the one you could 
When I know that you would 

I don't wanna know if you don't want me, no 
I don't wanna know if you don't want me, no 

I have a shirt that belongs to you 
And I use it to guess all the things you do 
I've already met your mom and dad 
Said I'm the best one you've never had 
And I think you should really reconsider 

I watched you through the window last night 
And I thought I saw a girl in the candlelight 
You think that's fair after all I've done 
Restraining orders one by one 
And I sure hope that was your sister 

I guess you misunderstood 
Didn't do you any good 
Bet you thought I never could 
Now you know that I would 
Now you know that I would 
Now you know that I would

Friends Like Me

C'mon and show me 
That you really know me 
So close so tight 
At least for tonight 

Turning silver and gold into rubber and glue 
Not supposed to let it get to you 
That's easy to say but hard to do 

When you roll back into town 
They'll all be around - just to show you 
That friends like mine will never let you down 
Until you hit the ground - 
then they don't know you 

Take what you can borrow 
But what about tomorrow 
Just have to wait and see 
What's in it for me 
You're on open book 
Here's a mirror, take a look 
Don't like what you see 
Don't come to me 
Back to the top of the page.

Don't Break Me Down

Don't break me, don't break me down 
Can't you see, my hands on the ground? 
I can't remember my name, 
And I promise, it won't be the same 

Did you steal it? 
Can you feel It? 
Cause I'm starting to feel it now, 
So don't break me down 

Don't break me, don't break me down 
Don't bury, my words In the ground 
I can't sleep of night. 
And I know without me that you're not alright 

Can you taste it? 
Can you face It? 
Cause I'm ready to face it now, 
So don't break me down 

I know I'm holding too tight 
But just give me some time, and I'll get it right
Back to the top of the page.

Fall Behind Me

I can't believe she bought it
She got too close and she caught it
Had a point but she forgot it

When you skip steps on the way up
The gaps have a way of catching up
And you can't cover that with makeup

You're gonna fall behind me
You're gonna cry and beg for mercy
'Cause you're not ready baby
And you got nothing on me

Now that i'm getting to know her
Part of me wants to show her
Who she's really screwing over

Cause she's got nothing real
Taking everything she can steal
Just like it was her last meal

How long is she gonna be around?
And how long do we have to watch her dumb it down
Cause when it's cheap it fades fast
And how long does she think it's gonna last
Back to the top of the page.

Is That All You've Got For Me

Oh you've got lights they burn out for you 
And you've got eyes, cocaine white and blue 
All you know Is wine and good friends
Cos luck like yours, It never ends

Or did you think it'd lost forever? 

Is that It, Is that all you got for me? 
Just a copy of a copy 
I won't let you have It for free   free   free 

A pick me up and then you're off again 
The crowd's there to see it you'll sink or swim 
They laugh and cheer 
when you crash and burn 
But they'll be back for your big return 
(they'll never learn) 

Watch the smoke fade, 
you finally got your spoce 
Wander the streets, but 
no one knows your face 
Your senior slump, it was a flop 
So give it up down to the top 
Back to the top of the page.

It's So Hard

I'm not obsessed, I could care less 
I Just want to get you undressed 
The less you talk. the more you say 
Don't let words get in the way 

It's so hard to be on your own 
When you're holdin' it all alone 
And you've been workin' it to the bone 
It's so hard, it's so hard 

You're just another guy 
with a wanderin' eye 
And I'm just a Gemini 
I don't see what's the harm 
If we don't set off the alarm 

Don't mind if I do 
There's something I wanna show you 
Don't mind if you don't 
Remember this baby cause I won't

The Gold Medal

So what were you expecting 
Every song has a perfect ending 
But that's not good enough 
Not good enough for you 

I thought you opened up your gates 
You claim that everyone relates 
What was I thinking when I thought 
That meant me too 

I'll take note 
Put on my coat 
Leave you to read what I wrote 
So sorry you never wanted me 
But how you made me want the gold medal!!!!! 

Cheer on the circus clowns 
"This is the best of the towns" 
What do you get from them 
That you couldn't get from me? 

It's where I got my start 
But not where I left my heart 
I take that with me 
Now I've seen what's underneath 
Back to the top of the page.

Out Of My Hands

I'm sick of the state we're in 
And every little thread is wearing thin 
I've been livin' life in the slow lane 
But something's got to change 

What time Is it where you are 
You're In bed. I'm at a bar 
Right now opposites subtract 
And I don't know if I can bridge the gap 

The phone bills. and missed calls. have 
got us they've got us

At the mercy of a mile 
In no place to make demands 
I'II make II worth your while 
But right now it's out of my hands 
It's out of my hands 

Ode to sleep pillows and sheets 
The last place I'd expect us to meet 
I'll be back before you know 
So don't worry if you're running low 
The phone bills. and missed calls, have 
got us, they've got us hanging
Back to the top of the page.

It Takes One To Know One

Burned your way in under my skin 
When nobody was lookln' 

It's so easy to talk about me 
When I'm not around to say 

I may not be a man, 
but you're not one either 
It takes one to know one 
Who's calling names, and pointing fingers 
Takes one to know one 

Cut me then blame me for bleeding 
Won't see me begging and pleading 

Tell me what I'm supposed to do, that's 
funny coming from you 
Not a boy not yet a man, never even 
done time in a van 
You don't know what you're talkin' about, 
it's time somebody called you out 
Tell me am I speaking English, 
or is this just a deathwish?! 

Just because we're face to face, 
Doesn't mean that we're eye to eye 

I may not be a man 
but you're not one either 
Takes one to know one 
Who's calling names and pointing fingers 
Takes one to know one 
It's age before beauty 
and you got neither 
It takes one to know one 
Back to the top of the page.

Revolver

Half cocked and fully loaded 
Not even trying to sugar coat it 
You're aimed at me 
but you're shootin' blanks 
And it doesn't hurt thanks but no thanks 

But it's a matter of time 
Till you get yours, and I get mine 
It might not be me 
But you're gonna answer to somebody 
Revolver 

You've got one foot in your mouth, 
and one foot in the grave 
You were diggln' a hole, 
and now you're diggin' a cave

It's not gonna be so funny anymore 
By the time you wake up 
sobered up and sore 

I left my comebacks at the door 
I didn't know what I was in for 
You're deeper than you've 
ever been before 
Back to the top of the page.

Have You No Pride

Shoe gazers In blazers 
Introduce you to razors, so that 
The Wilson twins - they can see you 
In all your glory, in all your glory 

Don't you care what all the people say 
You don't care you're gonna do in any way 
All eyes on you and they're burning holes till
There's no one left Inside 
Have you no pride 

How many pairs do you own 
How many patches have you 
sewn on your sleeve 
Now don't you dare mend the holes 
They tell your story yeah tell your story 
(sell your story) 

What do you write In that journal 
Some kind of infernal poetry 
So that I'll offer my help 
But don't you worry, don't you worry 

Let's take a walk through the crowd 
Let's take a walk through the crowd
