1. Turntable
Turntable
You enable my words to fill the room
My heart is in the groove
Turntable
You’re capable of making memories loom
For happiness to gloom
Turntable
Tell me a fable to make me feel okay
I’m sick of feeling grey
Turntable
I’m so unstable
Forget my tooth decay
There’s worse things in my way
She’s unapproachable
She’s unattainable
I wrote this song because
The girl does not own a turntable
Stereophonic things
That fill my head when I think of her
Five rusted guitar strings
A broken heart
And my favourite shirt
Fifty nice cents
And two cigarettes
Were in the pocket of my jacket
On the night she left
My shirt still smells like she did
I never dreamed that last night
Would be our last night
Our last kiss
Turntable
The tables are turning on all of my dreams
Turn turn around
You’re turning around
Girl you’re turning around in my dreams
In my dreams
2. Teenage Hate Band
I hate your teenage numbers
Underage with heads of lumber
It’s the age of mental slumber
I won’t march to your drunk drummer
I hate your teenage hangouts
Suburban spoiled brat burnouts
Originality drought
I’ll sew shut your stupid smart mouths
I’ll burn this teenage wasteland
Kerosene and matches in hand
I’ll start a teenage hate band
We’ll be in god dam demand
Going through my head like headphones
My ear to receiver
Black phone
I don’t expect a fanfare
When I get home
I just want to smoke my pipe…
3. Eye Doctor
I’ve got my eye on you
I’ve got my eye on you
I’ve got my eye on
You
Calling Dr Spock
I wanna beam her up but I can’t talk
I don’t need Dr. Ruth
Just Dr. Pepper with straws for two
I feel like Dr. Doom
Decaying in this filthy solitude
I’m watching Dr Who
But I can’t think of anything but you
I’m reading Dr Sax
I wanna be Jack Kerouac
I’m more like Dr Suess
“one fish, two fish, red fish, blue….”
I’ve got my eye on the ions in your eyes
4. Carnival Blue
Fourth of July
The fireworks reflecting in your eyes
Top of the world
I’m glad you’re my girl
You’re on my arm
The thunder’s setting off some car alarms
Just me and you…
In the carnival blue
We walk around
So high our feet they’re two feet off the ground
In the carnival blue
Free petting zoo
A giant slide
A burlap sack irritating my thighs
I lost that race
You came in first place
The house of fun
Is just a trailer with a flashy fold out front
Just me and you…
In the carnival blue
Smell all the food
Behind the ferris wheel they’ve hid the stars and moon
In the carnival blue
Band’s out of tune
I spent the rent
And I don’t have a thing to show me where it went
In carnival blue
We hold balloons
I live a July night
Through a baby’s eyes
So easy to excite
The flashing pulsing neon lights
And bring them home to write
I’ll bring these words to life
Theres colour is the black and white
Just me and you
Carnival blue
5. Gemini
All I ever wanted was a good girl,
Someone that’s proud to hold my hand.
I’m mesmerized by your coffee-colored eyes,
Keep staring back.
My Gemini
Just you and I
On wonderous wings we fly,
We’re in the sky, my gem and I,
My Gemini.
All I ever wanted was somebody
To keep me warm on wintery nights.
When I feel frost it melts away inside your arms,
I feel all right.
My Gemini,
Just you and I.
On wings of wax we fly,
We’re in the sky, my gem and I,
My Gemini.
I wanted my imagination.
Walked to my window and you were there.
I ran outside, hopped in your car, went for a ride,
Whole worlds to share.
Kissing by the river, sugar lips that make me quiver,
I love the way you look in the moonlight.
Give me your hand, I’ll save you from this wicked land,
Give me a try.
Magical Yummy Kisses Every Knight
You’re so magical.
My Gemini.
6. Fear of Abandonment
Would you leave me for more money?
Would you leave me for some cuter guy in a better named band?
Or would you leave me for somebody who’s a muscleman?
You’ve never told me that I’m boring
You’ve never made me feel like I’m wasting all your precious Sundays
You’ve never said that my recordings are a little lame
I have a fear of abandonment
You reassure me when you hold my hand
I have a fear of abandonment
You reassure me when you hold my hand
You make me feel like I’m attractive
We make each other feel the butterflies
Every time that our skin meets
You’ve never got bored at band practice
Because you think it’s neat
I have a fear of abandonment…
Give me your hand
Do you ever get the feeling
Our love life’s like a movie made for the late night cable tv?
I hope you’re not afraid of stealing
Because you’ve stolen me
7. Head Pop
Here’s a pop song to make your head pop
To snap your neck until it falls off
It’s kind of like a perfumed FUCK YOU!
A poke in your eye to change your view
My poison pen writes deadly letters
It murdered all our time together
I wish you’d touch my tainted teardrops
Contaminate your super cold heart
You were an angel to me
But you lost your wings
You made me lose my faith in beautiful things
You made me lose my faith
I’ll work my way into your ribcage
I’ll stop your heart with words that I’ll say
I could expose your darkest secrets
Embarrassment to make us even
Don’t even try to say you’re sorry for
The things you put me through
Don’t even try your tired excuses
Don’t even try to say you’re sorry for
The things you put me through
Don’t even try
What do you do when your world turns bad?
Where do you go when you’ve just been had?
What do you do when you’re always sad?
Where do you go when you can’t get glad?
What do you do when your girl’s not yours?
Where do you go when you hit the floor?
What do you do when you’re on all fours?
Where do you go when your heart’s been torn?
When children’s songs don’t move you
And you’re feeling all alone
You’ve got someone to sing you
Soothing words in stereo
And they’ll sing you fast to sleep
Dreaming brilliant shiny dreams
They’ll give you all the hope you need
There’s something gorgeous in a scream
Whatever you do
Just be beside me
Wherever you go
just be beside me
