Is She Really Going Out With Him

Is She Really Going Out With Him - Joe Jackson Cover

Broken Down Heart

We've come so far
We've hurt so many and helped so few
But here we are
And now I'm asking which one are you

Why are you sobbing
What did you think would happen next
You say I'm the problem
But am I the problem or the pretext

We've come so far
But time is cruel and preserves so few 
You hide your scars
And now I'm thinking maybe I should too



When we 
Were children 
We were bemused but not beset
But then we learned that to progress 
We must forget

We bloom 
We fade 
We suffer 
Then we're gone
Which one
Are you
 
We've fallen far
But falling's fine for a while at least
Like shooting stars
Shooting glances at our next defeat 

Why are you trying
Trying to explain my life to me
I wouldn't be lying 
If I said it lacks mystery

We've come so far
We've hurt so many and helped so few
But here we are
And now I'm asking which one are you

Come So Far

I been dreaming a lot about dying
Can't say I like it a lot
But then I can't pretend
When I go in the end
That it won't be the way that I thought

Been dreaming a lot about dying
Can't say that I'm ready yet
But I got to admit
When it all goes to shit
I know which way I would bet



I know what they say about dying
Lord know I could use the rest
But if I had to rate it
Being lightly sedated
Would probably suit me the best

I wouldn't choose
Wouldn't choose this way



I dream every night about dying
But it only comes along once
The number is nine 
If your a feline
But those pussies were always such cunts

I wouldn't choose
Wouldn't choose this way
I would much prefer 
To never go away

No more smoking or toking
No more stroking 
Under respiratory distress
Exercise till it hurts
Then wait for the worst
In spite of you doing your best

I wouldn't choose
Wouldn't choose this way
I would much prefer 
To never go away

I been dreaming a lot about dying
It's the one thing in life I can trust
I don't plan on running
When I see it coming
I'll do it myself if I must

Dreamin A Lot

Dreaming A Lot

Why can't I say I love you
It's the easiest thing in the world
But the world is looming above you
And love's never easy when you're my girl




Why can't I stay beside you
I got nothing better to do
I don't know what I did to deride you
But I'll give you the space to decide what to do

I can't say I know what I'm feeling
But I know that I feel it for you
It's subversion perversion and a hint of aversion
My heart ain't right but my aim is true

Why can't I say I love you
It's echoing round my head
Why can't I say I love you
And why do I say nothing instead




Why can't I say I love you
You know that I've said it before
But the world has a weight that can humble
The heart and the head and the man and more

But why should we care 'bout the others 
Who gives a damn what they think
They're not the one who's driving you home
They're not the one who drives you to drink

Why can't I say I love you
I can't get it outta my head
Why can't I say I love you
And why do I just say nothing 

Why can't I say I love you
I'm screaming inside my head
Why can't I say I love you
And why do I say nothing instead

Why can't I say I love you
It's the easiest thing in the world
But the world is looming above you
And love's never easy when you're my girl

Love's Never Easy

Loves Never Easy

Goin to California

Goin To California - Led Zep Cover

Hey
How you been
It's been twenty long years
Such very long years
Without you
And I got
To admit
That I think about you all the time

I know
That it's true
I was never gonna be
The man that you need
But it sticks
In my mind
That I can't say the same
No I can't say the same about you

I
Got a kid now
And she's growing so strong
Almost makes me alarmed
And her smile
Sends me back
To a place long ago
Before we road off the tracks

I see traces of you in the life that she lives
And the laughter and love in her eyes
I kinda wish she were yours
But it's true
That I'm pretty glad that she's mine

I gotta be honest
Ain't much in life I regret
But when I broke my promise
And left you behind
Only a part of me left

And I
Never filled
The space that you occupied
And I've walked
In a world
With the memory of you still by my side

I see traces of you
In the wisdom of fools
And the joy of just being alive
And I never knew until I met you
That I'd find a way to survive


I
Must admit
That I can't undo all the things that I did
And I
Won't pretend
That being so mean was justified in the end

And when
I compare
All the gifts that you gave
To the burden you bore

Well I can't but feel that
I still owe you a debt
That can't be restored

And when
I see you
In the eyes of my kid well
I'm paralysed by regret

I see traces of you in the life that she lives
And the laughter and love in her eyes
I kinda wish she were yours
But it's true
That I'm pretty glad that she's mine

Yeah
I'm OK
I'm older and wiser and burdened by age
And I just want to say sorry
That all I left you was sorrow and pain

And I'll make a promise
That I'm never walking away
From from the love of another
No matter the pain that it costs me to stay

I see traces of you in the life that I live
And the wisdom and strength that I've gained
And I know that it's true that I'm still missing you
And I won't pretend that ain't

But I
Got a kid now
And she growing so fast
And my life's rushing past

And it's traces of you that will help her pull through
As the years tear her slowly apart
If her heart's broken too
Well those traces of you
Will be what helps her make a new start

I see traces of you in the life that she lives
And the laughter and love in her eyes
I kinda wish she were yours
But it's true
That I'm pretty glad that she's mine

And hey
Good to see you
It's been 20 long years
Such very long years
And all
I can say
Is I think about you all the time

Perfect Situation - Weezer Cover

Hey
What you say
You and me Tay
We'd be OK

Hey
You and me Tay
We could take it all
And break it all
And make our getaway

'Cos I'm a guy with nothing more to offer
And you're a girl with nothing left to prove
Now they may say that you're the devil's daughter
But we both know the devil only wishes that were true

They won't let us be
You and me
They just won't let us be who

They may say you got it all
But they don't count on me
I can be your wrecking ball
To tear it down and wear your crown
And save you from your dreams

'Cos I'm a guy who's been long gone forever
And you're a girl who's always in the news
They're saying you're the devil's only daughter
But we both know the devil only wishes he could choose


You and me Tay

Hey
You and me Tay
Don't grieve at all
We'll leave it all
And make our getaway

'Cos I'm a guy with nothing but an offer
And you're a girl with everything to lose
But your friends all think that you're the devil's daughter
And we both know the devil only wishes it was true

So what you say
You and me Tay
There'll be some talking
When we walk but it'll be OK

'Cos I'm a guy with nothing more to offer
And you're a girl with nothing left to prove
We'll live together sharing all our laughter
And we both know the devil only wishes he could too

Yeah I'm a guy with nothing more to offer
And you're a girl with nothing but a song
Let's stay together until the hereafter
And leave the devil asking us if he can come along

Me And You, Tay
