Up All Night
Maybe I was wrong and baby you were right
You told me that you loved me and I didn't put up much of a fight
But baby I was crazy if I thought you'd be lazy
I thought that you were foolin' 'til you kissed me and you turned out the light
And baby we were oh up all night
We really were outta sight
You told me what you wanted and I gave it to you
Up all night
Well baby I was wrong but maybe that's all right
You told me to get ready take my medicine and turn out the light
Honey I thought Love was something fools dreamt up
You make it hard on dreaming when you keep your screaming up all night long
And Baby we were oh up all night
We really were out of sight
You told me what you wanted and you give it to me
Up all night
Yeah we were oh up all night
We really were paradise
You told me what you wanted and I'll give it to you
Up all night
LEAD
Baby you were right and maybe I was wrong
You told me that you loved me and you kept us going all night long
Oh well maybe I was wrong but honey that's all right
As long as were together it's forever and we're up all night
And we were oh up all night
We really were outta sight
You told me that you loved me and you keep us going all night long
And we were oh up all night
We really were paradise
Up all night
She's An Addiction
She's an addiction, she's an addiction
And I know she won't be bought
She's an addiction, she's an addiction
And I know she can't be caught
She won't take a letter she won't take my calls
She knows she's got me by the heart
She's into my system it's all love in vein
I shot her up and she went straight to my brain
She's an addiction, she's an addiction
And I know she won't be bought
She's an addiction, she's an addiction
And I know she can't be caught
She's an addiction, she's an addiction
And I know she can't be bought
She's an addiction, she's an addiction
And I know I can't be taught
She's an addiction
And I know she can't be bought
She's an addiction and she knows it's much worse than I thought
She's an addiction and it keeps me running
She's an addiction won't she keep me cunning
She's an addiction but I love the way she walks

Saturday Afternoon
What will we do now it's Saturday,
Saturday afternoon?
On Saturday
On Saturday and Saturday won't come too soon
On Saturday and Saturday afternoon
We'll walk down through the park
Past all the stores and all the shops
We'll stop and buy a record if we've money to
We'll smell the candy shop
And talk of girls that we dream of
And think of all the things we're going to do
This Saturday and Saturday afternoon
I've been waiting half the week now
For Saturday afternoon
LEAD
We'll run through the Woolworth's
And act like fools and laugh 'til it hurts
And talk of all the things we hate at school
We'll go back through the park
'cause it will soon be getting dark
And talk of all the things we're going to do
Next Saturday and Saturday afternoon
I've been waiting half the week now
For Saturday afternoon
On Saturday
On Saturday and Saturday won't come too soon
On Saturday and Saturday after Saturday
And Saturday after Saturday
And sadder days might come too soon
But Saturday, and Saturday afternoon

I'm Not At Home
I'm not at home
Well you can call me up on the telephone
But if you come by here you know I won't be home
So if you come by now I'll let you know and how
That I won't be at home
I'm not at home
Well you can tell me once and you can tell me twice
But you should know by now that I don't take advice
So if you come by here I'd like to make it clear
That I won't be at home
I'm not saying you've hurt me
I won't say you let me down
Let's just say that I've got to get away
Before you tear me down
LEAD

But I'll get in somehow if you come over now
Well I won't be at home

Don't Ever Fall In Love With Someone When You're Already In Love With Someone Else
I knew a little girl once I knew a guy she knew once too
They had a heart in common I didn't think it'd ever break in two
And though he thought he knew the answer he really knew a pack of lies
And though he thought he kept her guessing he only taught her to despise
Don't ever fall in love with someone as long as you love someone else
No never fall in love with someone and if you do you keep it
Just keep it to yourself
I've heard a million heartbeats I've heard a million points of view
I've heard a million reasons but don't they boil down to one or two
So if you thought you need the answer well if you need the stated cost
Remember every love you've won dear remember every one you've lost
Don't ever fall in love with someone as long as you love someone else
Don't ever fall in love with someone and if you do you keep it
Just keep it to yourself
I know that it's no answer I know it's just a point of view
I know that it's no reason It's just some words that I'd impart to you
So if you think you need the answer well if you need the stated cost
Remember every love you've won dear remember every love you've lost
Don't ever fall in love with someone as long as you love someone else
No never fall in love with someone and if you do you keep it
Just keep it to yourself
She Was My Girl
I had a girl that I thought I could never have
And such a girl as I don't think I'll have again
She was my girl
But she's not my little girl no more
I lost that girl and I don't think I'll ever find
Just such a girl as once thought was mine 'til the end of time
She was my girl
But she's not my little girl no more
No no more
Youth In Asia
My mom and dad don't like my songs
They say I've got my thinking wrong
They say don't be such a jerk
They say go and get some work
They say go to school or get a job
Try to be a doctor son
Do anything you want just make a ton of money
They say I really should be glad
I've got more choice than any Russian lad
Or any stupid South-East Asian cad
Any kid from Iraq or Iran
They can't get no help from mom or dad
They can't have things their parents never had
They end up working for a state that takes away all their money
So I've been thinking about the youth
Wondering about the youth
Thinking about youth
Thinking about youth in Asia
Oh I'm getting sick and tired and all worn out
Lately all my parents do is scream and shout at me
What's a kid to do
When they're killing you
My mom and dad don't like my songs
They say I've got my thinking wrong
They say don't be such a jerk
They say go and get some work
So I've been thinking about the youth
Wondering about the youth
Thinking about youth
Thinking about youth in Asia
I Can't Seem To Get It Through My Head
People tell I'm goin' but I'm goin' nowhere
They tell me hey that's just great you know but you know you're going nowhere
They say you better get yourself right back into line
Better get a new suit new shoes and a tie
Better get a new wife two kids and a car
You better go down now 'cause it's gonna get harder
I can't seem to get it through my head
And it makes life hell and it's just as well
People say that's just great you know but you know you're really going nowhere
They keep on asking me how long this is gonna take before I get my life straight somewhere
They say you better get life and soul and a mall
You better get a T.V. and a VCR
You better do something better climb that ladder
You think life's sad now well it's gonna get sadder
I can't seem to get it through my head
And it makes life hell and it's just as well
No I really don't mind
It happens every time
You know I know that it's too late I really needed my big break
I know it's broken
If I could've only gotten that big break but I know that it's broken somehow
They say you better come around you better give in
You better give up resistance is a sin
You better look down take your eyes from the sky
You better forget those lies about life they told you
I can't seem to get it through my head
And it makes life hell and it's just as well
No I really don't mind
It happens every time
I Know I Know
I know that sometimes it's so hard to get up and go out and face another day
And I know that sometimes you hurt so much and there doesn't seem to be anything left to say
But if I told you I know would it help you to go through your day would you feel any better
And if I told you I know would make any difference to you if I said it's bad weather
'Cause I know I know it seems like a thousand years to go
It seems like sometimes my eyes don't see the beauty of this forest for these trees
I know I know
I know that sometimes you think it's not fair and I don't care and
anyway this is none of my business
Like I know that you move through your life against a wind that is blowing away your resistance
But if I told you I know would it help me to show you I care and it's not as if I can't know you
And if I told you I know would it mean anything it would help me you see if I told you that
I know I know it seems like somewhere you lost control as though all your dreams get blown away and you're just living life day to day
I know I know
I know I know It seems like a million tears to go
It seems like sometimes our eyes don't see the beauty of this forest for these trees
I know I know and it breaks my heart to see you so
But won't you believe in what I say and live for this moment for this day
I know I know
My Tears Are Dry Now
My tears are dry now I've cried them all
Oh how I wish they'd come again and wash away my heartache with their fall
My tears are dry now they're all I had
They're all I'd left of you and now you're both gone and I'm still so sad
Tell me your reasons and make them all good
You said I'd get over you but I knew I never would
Why did you lie dear and say I'll be here
Why didn't you say you meant never when you said one year
'Cause my tears are dry now and you're gone too
they're all you'd left to me now what am I supposed to do
My tears are dry now the sadness is here why won't they fall again and let this heartache disappear
LEAD
My tears are dry now they're all cried out
I try and try to cry but my sadness won't pour out
So let me love you and do as you will
But please don't torture me by saying maybe some day still
I hope you're happy and never hear this song
'cause it might hurt you for one moment but I'll sing it my whole life long
My tears are dry now they're all cried out
I try and try to cry but my sadness won't pour out
My tears are dry now and the sadness is here why won't they fall again and let this heartache disappear
My tears are dry now

I want to know can you tell me I want to know I want you to know that this wasn't the way that things were But I wanna know can you tell me I wanna know tell me is it fair LEAD
Give me one chance 'cause you know I've got to set this record straight But I wanna know can you tell me I wanna know tell me is it fair Copyright 2003 Gangreen Records
I what to know what you do when a good thing goes bad
What do you do when there's nothing left to say
She was the first and the last girl that I'll ever love
And I can't bring myself to simply walk away
Tell me is it fair
I caress and kiss her but she just doesn't care
I've learned to love on thin air
I fawn and whisper but she just combs her hair
I've learned to love on thin air
Thin air
And at one time she said she'd always be there
She used to beg me and scold me and plead for my love
And I'd pretend that I wasn't aware
I try to tell her but it gets me nowhere
I've learned to love on thin air
I pet and ply her but I get a cold stare
I've learned to love on thin air
Though she's so cold I will always be there
And though she says nothing's wrong she will go out tonight
And I will sit in and I'll tear out my hair
I hug and hold her but she seems to despair
I've learned to love on thin air
I try to touch her but she just isn't there
I've learned to love on thin air
I caress and kiss her but she just doesn't care
I've learned to love on thin air
I fawn and whisper but she just combs her hair
I've learned to love on thin air
