ANYWHERE BUT HERE
It doesn't matter where you go
it's all the same when
you're standing alone
In the room amongst
the crowd
At this place where
no one knows
you're around
The tension's building
My temples are wet
I'd rather be
somewhere in Tibet
standing here where
I don't belong
I don't care if I dance
all wrong
I see it clearly, I
shouldn't be here
I think you're stupid
You think I'm weird
Because you're someone
I don't want to know
I'm understanding I'd rather be alone
WON'T BE LONG
Everyday since he's
gone away, I feel like
something's been
missing
I went to LA to try to
get away, I sit and
watch people go by
That's OK that he
went away
Cuz he's coming
back to me yeah
It won't be long till
he knows he's
wrong and he'll be
back again someday
I couldn't see how
much he meant to me
until that day he went
away
But he'll be back
around to my part
of town
And he'll be back
again to stay
BIG SCOOP
Everybody's at the Big
Scoop now - oh yeah
On the corner of 4th
and Becker yeah
Dancing around with
the jukebox playing real loud
It's a rocking place and
you know there's always a crowd
Baby let's go
Sitting in class trying
to stay awake, oh yeah
Thinking how to get
away oh yeah
12 o'clock and I know
my baby's there
I'm stuck here you
know I'd rather be
there
Bored to tears I can't
take it anymore
Teacher looks away I'll
make a break for the
door
I've skipped this place
now I'm on my way
Cutting class at the Big
Scoop now oh yeah
On the corner of 4th
and Becker yeah
Dancing around with
the jukebox playing
real loud
It's a rocking place and
you know there's always a crowd
SIX YEARS
I'd like to say I've
weathered my stay
On the beach at the
park - that's my
place
To eat with my dime
that I begged from
some rich old slime
I'd like to say it's
alright
Everything's OK
But it's worth it all
just to let you know
I won't take it anyway
I'm sorry for all
the fights, you know
I hate to say you're
right
This battle's beaten
me so
I'd come if you'd
take me back
All I know is I want
to come home
It's so hard to tell
you so
I'd like to say I've
weathered my stay
But it's getting late
and I can't play
Looks like it's time
for goodbye
But I won't cry and
that's no lie
Like to say it's alright
You know it'll be OK
But it was worth it
all to let you know I
won't take it anyway
BROKE MY HEART
What's that you're saying when you're talking to me?
The feeling's changing why can't you see
You say it's over, well I don't care
You say you're sorry but life's not fair
You broke my heart yeah yeah yeah
That's what you're saying yeah yeah yeah
And now you're sorry yeah yeah yeah
That's what you say yeah yeah yeah
And now you want for me to believe
That we were not meant to be
You said it was over, before it could start
You said you're sorry, but you broke my heart
What's that you're saying when you're talking to me?
The feeling's changing why can't you see
You say it's over, before it could start
You said you're sorry, now you broke my heart
What you say is what you want to believe
You say that we're not meant to be
You think you're cool but I really don't think so
Just go away
HIGH SCHOOL
Make up, gossip, and
expensive clothes
I know you - you were
one of those
Who talked shit, made
lives miserable posing
to be a friend
One day it'll come
back to you and get
you in the end
It's been a long time
go back to high school
I didn't like you then
and I won't start to
I've got better things
to do than sit here
and ignore you
You're just the same
as before
Self serving ego is
what you are
Have you found it
didn't get you
very far
After all this time it
seems like nothing's changed
And you're wondering
why you're running
out of friends
SECRET SPY
He wanted to live the
life of an undercover
spy
New faces, dangerous
places and suspicious
eyes
He's gonna take his
girl to the classy part
of town
Top down in his MG
car
He's the big man in
the town
Deny any
involvement
Because they're closing in on you
Sneaking out
incognito is the one
thing you can do
He was a witness
to some business
Going on downtown
on the other side
He's catching bad guys
and dodging drive-bys
Just another day in the
life of a secret spuy
Across the corner
you might see him there
Looking very casual
but he's dressed to kill
Danger surrounds him
but he'll survive
Wing-tips, white shirt
and his lucky black tie
YOU LOSE
You want to be like them
You want to be their friend
But you lost
Because you can't win with them
You can't win with them
But you're
Following along on the assembly line
You're either stupid or you're really blind
Cuz you lost
You think that they're the shit
You think that they're the shit
But you lost
But they're just full of it
They're just full of it
But they pretend to like you
But inside they laught at you
It's so pathetic, but it's really nothing new
But you lost
And you thought you were cool - but you lost
You were played like a fool - it's your loss
And the joke is on you - cuz you lost
You're getting desperate now
You're getting desperate now
But you lost
There is no one else around
There is no one else around
But you're
You're too afraid to think on your own
You'd rather conform than have a mind of your own
And you thought you were cool - but you lost
You were played like a fool - it's your loss
And now they're laughing at you - cuz you lost
POSTAL
Look out I'm gonna
tell a story about
What all went
down that night
I'm afraid to say
he lost his mind
Might have been
something I
couldn't fight
All I know is that I
tried, and I tried to
make it alright
But he's gone postal
You better run for
your life
If there's a way to
turn the story around
You can bet that he
will try
Right now nothing's
going right
Won't stop at nothing
until he's right
Better reach a
negotiation line
You are running
out of time
Duck down and
take a look around
Say it slowly, say
it's alright
Back down or it could
take all night
Might have been something
I couldn't fight
All I know is that I tried,
and I tried to make it alright
