Time After Time
03:55
|
|||
|
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights, almost left behind
Suitcase of memories, time after...
Sometimes you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
You say "Go slow", I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades, darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
You say "Go slow", I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Stacy's Mom
03:04

Stacy can I come over after school
We could hang around by the pool
Did your mom get back from her business trip
Is she there, or is she trying to give me the slip
No I'm not the little boy that I used to be
I'm all grown up now baby can't you see
That Stacy's mom has got it going on
She's all that I want and I've waited for so long
Stacy can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's mom
Stacy do you remember when I mowed your lawn
Your mom came out with just a towel on
I could tell that she liked me from the way she stared
And the way she said "You missed a spot over there"
And I know you probably think it's just a fantasy
But since your dad walked out your mom could use a guy like me
And Stacy's mom has got it going on
She's all that I want and I've waited for so long
Stacy can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's mom
Stacy's mom whoa oh oh oh
Stacy's mom whoa oh oh oh
Stacy can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's mom

This Must Be The Place
03:36
|
|||
|
Home is where I want to be, pick me up and turn me 'round
I feel numb, born with a weak heart, I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better, make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky, it's OK, I know nothing's wrong
Nothing- Hey oh, I got plenty of time
Hey oh, you've got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me, I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love, cover up and say goodnight
Say goodnight...
Home is where I want to be but I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings, I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from the other, did I find you or you find me?
There was a time before we were born, if someone asks, this is where I'll be
Where I'll - Hey oh we drift in and out
Hey oh sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people, you've got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home, to share the same space for a minute or two
Will you love me 'till my heart stops, Love me 'till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you, cover up the blank spots hit me on the head I go
Oooooooooooooooohhhh

Everything Is Free
04:46
|

|
Everything is free now, that's what they say
Everything I've ever done, gotta give it away
Someone hit the big score, they figured it out
That I'm gonna do it anyway, even if it doesn't pay
I could get a tip jar, gas up the car
Try to make a little change down at the bar
Or I could get a straight job, I've done it before
I never minded working hard, it's who I'm working for
'Cuz everything is free now, that's what they say
Everything I've ever done, gotta give it away
Someone hit the big score, they figured it out
That I'm gonna do it anyway, even if it doesn't pay
Every day I wake up, humming a song
But I don't have to run around, I could just stay home
Sing a little love song I love to myself
If there's something that you wanna hear, you can sing it yourself
Everything is free now, that's what I said
No one's gotta listen to these words in my head
Someone hit the big score, they figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway, even if it doesn't pay

God Only Knows
04:17
|
|||
|
I may not always love you, but long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it, I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me, though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me, so what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me, though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me, so what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
And holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
Your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would spill the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
This is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dared to go
Your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could bear to try

Stay With Me
03:27
|

|
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one night stand
But I still need love 'cuz I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you take my hand
Oh won't you stay with me
'Cuz you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
Darling stay with me
Why am I so emotional
No it's not a good look, need some self control
Deep down I know this never works
I just want you to stay so it doesn't hurt
Oh won't you stay with me
'Cuz you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
Darling stay with me
Oh won't you stay with me
'Cuz you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
Darling stay with me
Darling stay with me
Won't ya stay with me

Thirteen
03:01
|

|
Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets to the dance
And I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad get off my back
Tell him what we said about Paint it Black
Rock 'n' Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's OK
And I'll shake you
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well let me know
If it's no then I can go
I won't make you
Won't you let me walk you home from school

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be
So take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
My darling so it goes, some things are meant to be, won't you please...
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Faith
03:31
|
|||
|
Well I guess it'd be nice if I could touch your body
You know not everybody has got a body like you
But I gotta think twice before I give my heart away
'Cuz I know all the games you play, 'cuz I played them too
Oh honey I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And baby when love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby but I'm showing you the door
'Cuz I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
Yes I gotta have faith, faith, faith, faith
Baby, I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
Say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
To another who tied me down with his lover boy rules
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I'd reconsider my foolish notion
I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more
'Cuz I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
Yes I gotta have faith, faith, faith, faith
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I'd reconsider my foolish notion
I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more
'Cuz I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
Yes I gotta have faith, faith, faith, faith

Almost heaven, West Virgina
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old here, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country Roads take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home Country Roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes
Country Roads take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home Country Roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour it calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Traveling down the road I get a feeling that I
Shoulda been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home Country Roads
Country Roads take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home Country Roads

Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave, she came
Staring as she called my name
And I can't get it out of my head
No I can't get it out of my head
Well my whole world is gone for dead
'Cuz I can't get it out of my head
Breakdown on the shoreline
Can't move, it's an ebb tide
Morning don't get here tonight
Searching for her silver light
And I can't get it out of my head
No I can't get it out of my head
Well my whole world is gone for dead
'Cuz I can't get it out of my head, no no
Day job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don't envy me
Staring as the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps spinning round
And I can't get it out of my head
No I can't get it out of my head
Well my whole world is gone for dead
'Cuz I can't get it out of my head, no no no

The Age of Adz
