W-2
01:01
|

1099 to ride, 1099 to ride
The union boss says “baby don’t you know it’s a crime
That they don’t pay you for doing emotional overtime”
The IRS comes knocking right on cue
Gotta fill out a W-2 just to talk to you, uh-huh
1099 to ride, 1099 to ride
The neighborhood committee can’t get no traction
So the lady up the street makes out a request for action
Fill out form AD-1083
Wait 7–11 business days to talk to me, uh-huh

Trigger Finger
00:54
|
|||
Hit the nail on the head
Smash my trigger finger
I get scared of the dark
When I shoot out the lights
Such a fool for attention
Shut the door of the car
Crush the tail of the dog
All these lessons to learn
Hope the grade’s on a curve
Fell asleep in the classroom
We live in a punk rock world, ooh
We live in a punk rock world
And fools die hard in a punk rock world
Here’s my lesson to you
Do with it what you will

Velodrome
01:51
|
|||
Well I saw you looking out of a window
In a cafe down by the velodrome
They spelled your name wrong on the birth certificate
You cried about it for the whole drive home
And I saw you down at the demonstration
But I couldn’t tell what it was about
I spelled my name wrong on the declaration
Couldn’t erase it so I crossed it out
And didn’t it feel so good
Didn’t it feel so good
So I close my eyes and push all the air out
Then I float up to the surface again
I love the feeling of running in circles
I am a slave to the curriculum
Seems like everyone I know is in trouble
Seems like everyone has nowhere to go
The country lives on despite our frustration
Built a vibrator from a radio
Well I saw you looking into a window
There’s a cool breeze at the top of my cage
I check my radar, it’s all so exciting
I’m losing contact but can’t disengage

If you need me I’ll be there in a hurry
If you need me I’ll be there on the phone
It’s something that I’ll have to remember
When I feel alone
Yeah I love all of the people in my life
It’s a thing I’m usually too shy to tell
It’s something that I’ll have to remember
When I feel like hell
There’s always someone, I guess
Who’s trying to do their best
To say “I’m happy to see you”
Seems like everyone’s in such a big hurry
And there’s only so much one can give
But pissing in the well that you drink from
Is no way to live
You can call it just what the doctor ordered
You can call it anything at all
Gonna throw a special little something
Right over your wall
There’s always someone, it’s true
Who’s trying to do right by you
‘Cause to them, you’re important

100 Hrs
01:27
|
|||
A hundred hours til I get to Salt Lake
A hundred hours since I’ve seen my baby
On the wrong side of a hundred hours, ah
A hundred hours going out of my way
A hundred hours and I’m going crazy
On the wrong side of a hundred hours
If it was up to me I’d find a way back to you
But the company demands that I stick to the man’s plan
So that’s what I’m gonna do

A-B-C and 1-2-3
If you want my love you gotta run with me
D-E-F and 4-5-6
Baby, moving on is how I get my kicks
G-H-I and 7-8-9
Maybe I’ll feel better at the next state line
Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider
Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider
Peter Fonda in Easy Rider
Tell me who do you love

Shooting From The Hip
02:25
|
|||
She loves
Riding right up to me
And telling me that I’m her man
‘Cause she can
She loves
Riding right up to me
And giving me a big ol’ kiss
Just like this
She loves me
And ever since she told me
I’ve been bang bang ba-bang ba-bang
Shooting from the hip
She loves
Riding right up to me
And putting on my ten gallon hat
Just like that

Over and Over
01:44
|
|||
I don’t know how
To turn it around
How do I rescind
Stayed up too late
Didn’t feel great
Slept in all weekend
Bending over backwards so far but I
Can’t make a circle despite how hard I try
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Getting in trouble
Can’t turn it around
Stranded on the wrong side of town

Bye-bye Texas
01:23
|
|||
No more chilaquiles at dawn
No more nights in Galveston
Well what’s done is done
Bye-bye Texas, have a good one
No more skinny dipping with Juan
No more Topo Chico in the sun
Well what’s done is done
Bye-bye Texas, so long

You're So Cool
01:48
|

I saw you
Standing there
You’re so cool
I got scared
I am dying
Early autumn
In the air
You’re so sweet
And unaware
I am dying

My Bike
02:30
|
|||
When I’m on my bike
I can do the things I like
When I’m on my bicycle
It takes me down
To the record store downtown
When I’m on my bicycle
When I’m on my bicycle
When I’m on my bike
Everyone can just take a hike
When I’m on my bicycle
Yeah I never fall
And if I do it won’t hurt at all
When I’m on my bicycle
When I’m on my bicycle
I don’t need much, if anything
I think I’m happy, yes I really do
Just riding around and listening

Not in the Band
01:35
|
|||
He’s on varsity
Just 17
And she likes smoking grass
And cutting class
But he’s not in the band
She’s not even in the band
There’s no one in the band
Did you need a hand?
He sits next to me
In history
And she likes teenage love
And Nabokov

Sucking the Thumb
00:56
|
|||
Texting you and that’s when my phone died
Took a little tour of the front line
We’re sucking the thumb
Sucking the thumb
The nurse with the curse says “baby’s got back”
Lose grasp of the facts when you’re under attack
This is my report from the frontier
Long distance loser coming in clear

Boys In Heat
01:16
|
|||
Boys in heat don’t mind
Waiting up just to waste your time
Underneath the sun
Boys in heat are out having fun
Red alert
When feelings hurt
“Don’t waste my time”
She said to
Boys in heat don’t mind
Waiting up just to waste your time
Underneath the stars
Boys in heat are out crashing cars

Jazz Chorus
00:56
|

The jazz chorus is back
The jazz chorus is back
Don’t know when, I don’t know how
All’s I know is the jazz chorus is back now

Try to Be on My Side Now
02:41
|
|||
Try to be on my side now
Everyone is backing out
Though I know you love a crowd
I could really use you around
Try to be on my side now
I don’t wanna say it again
It’s a cruel way to treat a friend
To just turn tail and run from him
Try to be on my side now
Everyone is packing up
There’s no way I could make this up
There’s no way I could make this stop
If it ever happened to you
The first thing that I would do
Would be to show my love for you
I would show you my love is true
Mmm
I would show my love for you
I would show you my love is true

When You Were My Sharona
01:27
|
|||
I spent the weekend in heaven
In 1977
It felt like those days would never end
When you were my Sharona
Love was more than just a word
Hit songs just wanted to be heard
And one time I almost got to third
When you were my Sharona
The coke was clean and the highs were wild
Life was a movie and I was a child
I remember the way you smiled
When you were my Sharona
|

Maybe I
01:46
|
|||
Maybe I have been chewing
On it for too long
Maybe I really shouldn’t
Worry about this one
And then it catches up with me
Yeah I better watch my speed, ah
Maybe I’m too distracted
To know what’s good for me
Maybe I’m just attracted
To things that I shouldn’t be

Summer Interlude
02:15
|
|||
We imagined summer
As a reason for what we had
Retroactive bummer
Upside down and still feeling sad
Old enough to know better
Young enough to know better
Tell myself I’m better
Drag my ass to class in a trance
Write myself a letter
Rip it up and wait for an answer
Old enough to know by now
Young enough to know by now
Imagined I held your hand
|

Flavor of the Week
01:46
|
|||
I step up to the plate
Just itching to take a swing
I can’t wait for the summer
In love with the flavor of the week again
Cherry cola was here to stay
When I was born yesterday, oh yeah
I step up to the sink
Just itching to take a drink
I can’t wait for the summer
In love with the idea of the feeling

Summer of Your Dreams
03:10
|
|||
Hanging out in the attic
I’m not getting any better at it
But I can still play the drum set
And throw four to the floor
And I won’t play the harmonica
If you don’t play the melodica
We can never get far enough
Away away away from
Are you ready for the summer
Of your dreams, yeah
This chord will be gone tomorrow
Because it’s everyone’s to borrow
But you can still be the star of
My big autumn breakdown
So clap your hands like you wanted to
And the silence won’t bother you
But a song won’t father you
And your mother is already gone
“I know folks who can get us pot”
Said a friend who never said a lot
“Sally forth and forget me not”
Said somebody else
“If we tear down Babylon
Remember, we were only having fun”
Said the boy with no towel on
As he climbed out of a car

Steven's
01:19
|
|||
What are you doing this weekend
Do you wanna play guitar
Always in our hearts
Have a good time at Steven’s
There’s always something shining through
I’ll touch base with you
I just called you back
To see if you were leaving
My stratosphere is quiet
Without you
