Downed
04:02

Downed, downed out of my head
'round, 'round out of my head
I'm gonna live on a mountain
Way down under in Australia
It's either that or suicide
It's such a strange strain on you
Oh, i got a mind
Over you it's not the first time
Oh, i got a mind
Rainbow's crawling on a midday sun
But i've been lucky you're the only one
Sunday's calling, you'll be number one
It's such a strange strain on you
Oh, you think of Jesus Christ
You walk on water but don't bet your life, no
All you walk is a fine line
It's such a strange strain on you
Downed, downed out of my head
'round, 'round out of my head
Too many people want to save the world
Another problem is it a boy or girl
Some say the weekend is the only world
It's such a strange strain on you
Oh, i've got a mind
Over you it's not the first time
All you walk is a fine line
It's such a strange strain on you
Downed, downed out of my head
'round, 'round out of my head
Downed, downed out of my head
'round, 'round out of my head

Hey Jealousy
02:58
|
|||
Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place... Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
You can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
'Cause all I really want to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place... Hey jealousy
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place... Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
She took my heart
There’s only thing I can start…

I Saw Her Standing There
03:10
|
|||
Well she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another,
Oh, when I saw her standing there
Well she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there
Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there
Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there

Don't Fight
04:11
|
|||
When I was the younger boy
I feel in love with the toy
She gave me all her love
She gave me so much
Now i can't go on
Now i can't go on
But i feel inside
All the love was right
Now i can't go on
When i was the older man
I fell in love with a friend
She gave me all her love
She gave me the simple touch
Now i can't go on
Now we get upset and i don't know why
Baby get up
And don't fight
Don't fight
Give me one more chance to make it up to you (gonna make it up)
Don't fight
Don't fight
Give me the chance to make it up to you
Give me the chance like we used to
But don't fight
When I was the younger boy
I used to find a girlfriend of mine
She gave me all her love
She gave me it in the night
But I can't go on
And I don't want to live without her
When I was the older guy
I fell in love with my teacher
She gave me everything
She gave the wet nose dreams
And I can't go on
And I won't fight
And I won't give in
But I don't try
Well, don't fight
Don't fight
Give me one more chance to make it up to you
Don't fight
Don't fight
Give me the chance, Baby, to make it up to you
Give me the chance like we used to
But don't fight

Damaged One
04:08
|
|||
(Original song and lyrics by Todd Park Mohr)
I had a crush of madness
advances so reckless
then came the sweet day when
your walls came down
There was no trace of malice
I never thought i would have this
I got it so wrong
This love was so wrong but so fun, so fun
I was already
already the damaged one
You ran off and left me
I turned into a lawless gun
You left one cold September
that letter's now ash and ember
now we don't talk
yeah you don't call anymore
But this judge ain't sentimental
I can see life is a rental car
but I wanted a home...
I wanna go home
right now, right now
I was already
already the damaged one
You ran off and left me
I turned into a lawless gun
Our love was so wrong
we should have been done by now
by now
You were careless and got captured
Your wounding days are numbered
Both your charm and your desperate devices have failed
Now i ain't the one who can rescue
I ain't someone you can lean on
Our love was so wrong
We should have been done by now
I was already
already the damaged one
You ran off and left me
I turned into a lawless gun

Found Out About You
03:56
|
|||
All last summer in case you don't recall
I was yours and you were mine forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
that’s sad enough to make you cry
All the lines you wrote to me were lies
The months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me? Only in my head
Things you said and did to me
Seemed to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won you give for free
Whispers at the bus stop
Well I heard about nights at the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Rumors follow everywhere you go
And when you left and I was last to know
You're famous now and there's no doubt
In all the places you hang out
They know your name and they know what you're about
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Street lights blink on through the car window
I get the time too often on AM radio
You know it's all I think about
I write your name drive past your house
Your boyfriend's over I watch your light go out
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
I found out about you

Cool Kids
03:38
|
|||
She sees them walking in a straight line,
That's not really her style
And they all got the same heartbeat
But hers is falling behind
Nothing in this world could
Ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background
And she says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
He sees them talking with a big smile
But they haven't got a clue
Yeah they're living the good life
Can't see what he’s going through
They're driving fast cars
But they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
And they said
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cuz all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

She laughed in my face, told me good-bye
Said "Don't think about it, you can go crazy
Anything can happen, anything can end
Don't try to fight it, don't try to save me"
She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She don't want to see
She's a woman in love, but it's not me
Well alright, do what you want
Don't try to talk, don't say nothin'
She used to be the kind of woman
You have and you hold, she could understand the problem
She let the little things go
She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
But she don't want to know
She's a woman in love, she can't let go
Time after time, night after night
She would look up at me
And say she was lonely
I don't understand the world today
I don't understand what she needed
I gave her everything she threw it all away
On nothin'
She's a woman in love

I need an easy friend
I do, with an ear to lend
I don't think you fit this shoe
I do, won't you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
For free
I'm standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too
I do keep a date with you
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
For free
I need an easy friend
I do whip her in to land
I do think you fit this shoe
I do won't you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
No I can't see you every night
For free
I do
I do
I do
I do

Into Your Arms
02:47
|
|||
I know a place where I can go
When I'm alone
Into your arms whoa
Into your arms
I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm
From the crowd
Into your arms whoa
Into your arms
I can go
And if I should fall (fall)
I know I won't be alone
Be alone anymore
I know a place where I can go
When I'm alone
Into your arms whoa
Into your arms
I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm
From the crowd
Into your arms whoa
Into your arms
I can go
So if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone anymore
I know a place where I can go
When I'm alone
Into your arms whoa
Into your arms
I can go
I can go

Remember
03:29
|

You and I were really young for our first love affair
People said we wouldn’t last 3 months, we didn’t care
You told me you had been in love before you met me
I shoulda known I wouldn’t mean that much when you left me
And now you need to…
Remember when we broke apart
Remember before the next one starts
I fell so hard for you I couldn’t find my feet again
You had been around the block more than I’d ever been
Your dirty secrets you had never told me
The lies you’d tell me as you tried to hold me
You always knew that you would break my heart
before you left without a trace
I often wonder why we didn’t make it all the way
I wish I would’ve known all the things you wouldn’t say
before you made me
Our summer love had been the highest I had never been
I never thought I’d find another love like you again
Lookin’ back I think about the things I could’ve done
I (always) thought you were the one for me
But there were things I just couldn’t see
I wonder if you ever found your true love
Shiver late at night and think, of, me, and…
