Why does the music have to be so loud when you're hanging out with the in-crowd? Why do you have to scream and shout when you're hanging out with the in-crowd? If the right was going along (what if not? If not I can always sing another self-righteous song and then the right one can go alone Why do I have so proud when I'm hanging out the in-crowd?

I don't like what they just played but they'll never know 'cause I'm going to pretend anyway The voice was too disturbing and the beat was almost hurting from a mile away You walked in on high-heeled legs every man around started to beg: oh, let it be me You ordered a tequila And said: I sure do need a dance with that Hey girl, I'd love to dance and hang out in the bar But I'm stuck behind my pedal steel guitar Our band stopped playing when I had played my part I couldn't see you dancing and you weren't in the bar were you gone with a friend? My legs started to shiver 'cause I thought that I would never see you again

I let it be 02:44
You never used to walk like that You never used to laugh like that You never laughed like that I've never seen you walk like that Never heard that act I've never seen you walk like that I've never seen you laugh like that What a heart attack I've never seen you laugh, laugh like that Is he better than me? So much you didn't see I let it be I let it be

It's a tiny tone from this string it sounds so sweet I think I'll let it ring It's a time worth living in the space above there's only one word and the word is love Tip toe hey let's go the heart beat percussion hip shake how we make our hearts break and hearts ache Now you're in the house with the latest swing moving around like a dancehall king you move around like a dancehall king And you feel good music from the heaven above it's only one word and the word is love
5.
Scary bitch 02:01
You can dance when you smile makes it all worthwhile to dance with a scary girl You circle and spin then you grab me again and then you do a crazy twirl I guess you could do me harm Place my hand on your hips take a look at your lips this is getting so out of my hand this getting dimb I'm out on a limb and you're one scary bitch I could do you harm I guess that you do me harm

Red light in the bar, just right Warm blood all around I'm a jelly dancing knight Two girls looking right at me gonna dance for them hope they'll dance for me I dance. They smile and turn their precious heads I dance closer yet and twist my leg They laugh - I feel my rising cock Ask for a little dance but I'm out of luck There is a howl in my throat It's a crazy sound I love all the pretty boys and girls around but oh, how the frown I've wasted beer Two girls versus little old me I'm outta here
7.
When you stepped in through the door I was asleep on the floor You came to hear about my dream for your latest scheme But dreams were nowhere to be found I took a quick look around I ran through stars and walked the moon Had to wake up very soon So I went swimming in the sea and the fish looked at me I tried to understand their tones but the fish threw their stones And when I was resting in the sand fish were biting my hand I was sad when I got up from the floor I'd been hoping for more Get up (keep it up) Run out (get out) Leave the city

Bright summer night inside Comets that glow outside Got a nice little show that you don't know That I'm not so far from the spot where you are I'm your window star I'll sing you a song though I got a trunk for a tongue, I'll try Make you stuck to my song It won't take long 'Cause I'm not so far from the spot where you are can't you hear when I play my guitar? I'm the mosquito Open your window Let me play you a go-go Hello, oh..
9.
Go, boy, go 02:57
Oh, just know I'm letting out steam Oh, please know it not as it seems So what do you think it's gotta be? It feels like a loaded gun When we're having fun One. Blow, wind, blow Make a mess of my hair Blow, girl, blow Like you really care So what do you think we're up to now? All the things we could do You and me and me and you One two. Grow, just grow It will take you there Grow, boy, grow And show that you care So am I right now or am I wrong? There is no chance to flee 'cause there is still you and there is still me One two three. Go, boy, go If you got the guts Go, girl, go If you got the hots So is it back to the start all over again? We're still on the floor And we still want more One two three four.

Nowhere fast 01:24
I fell asleep in your car It must have been a thousand miles I hope you'll stay where you are Just another thousand miles

Spent summer days in the garden Spent summer night drinking gin You wore Elizabeth Arden I was your modern Errol Flynn Come lay down in the flowers the well known roses bed let me show you my super powers you say: don’t let it go to your head And I just love, love your bones A summer day long ago I still hear you say And it is love, love Or at least it was in another day But now I can’t hear what you say We put on extra rays in the sunshine from our wonderful balloon I can’t remember just how we got there summers always end too soon

Ran for the train at the station wearing my old brown shoes Missing a call on my cell phone Hoping that it was you Taking an easy vacation: sat in the shadow of a tree talking to you on my cell phone I laugh at you, you laugh at me I laughed at you, you laughed at me In the beginning it was hard to agree I asked: could you please think it over again you said you could I know you would Went for a swim in the ocean finally I feel ok picking you up at the station it was the end of the day I really don’t understand how you can be so determined I guess that I’ll never know when you go or when you come back Baby I took a chance not to dance with you at the party Shouldn’t have said that stuff said more than enough don’t pay attention I know that we don’t agree respectively why is that a problem? will you remember me or have I become unimportant?
13.
He wrote a song In a pace that stresses me It wasn’t long, but it was spot on You’ll see Uuuh, Casanova, has anyone told ya about this wonderful King? sure makes it swing He made a point about a boy who resembles me He made it twice and it was so nice I swear he nearly saved me Uuuh, Casanova, has nobody told ya about this wonderful clown who’s on his way down? Come on, come on Show that you rock show how you rock Come sing, sing your song I don’t care if it’s not long It just stays with me for a little while He was alone In a way that impresses me Sticks and stones may break my bones and words can really hurt me
14.
Sleep eat drive work read Read. Time to get back on my feet It’s just that some days are better than others Come on good times
15.
Cold winds have blown all day I stay inside It’s a small price to pay This night everything’s all right Just let me slide right out of sight Please tell me everything is so-so Don’t wake me up before you go-go Country songs played all day Still it didn’t make you stay This night everything’s all right Just let me slide right out of sight Oh, don’t you let me slide Keep my feet on your ground I should be your favourite toy Oh, but poor boy, I’m going down ? and wired and heaven knows uninspired ? heaven knows yeah, my desire is you I guess you know Oh, don’t you let me slide Keep my feet on your ground I should be your favourite toy Oh, but poor boy, I’m going down
16.
Is it so hard to see? You’re better off with you and me
17.
yeah, I like the sound of your high heels against my wooden chest yeah, that’s the sound of your heartbeat and my wooden chest
