1. _ First Glimmer
Do you remember me long ago
Used to wear my heart on my sleeve
I guess it still shows
We watched the sun fall down and
I hop on my bike; still that night
You're my first glimmer of light
You were my. you was my first
Glimmer of light
And the leaves were burning up in the street
I guess they tore that bridge out
Where we used to meet
And no one can see there
You're my first glimmer of light
You were my. you was my first
Glimmer of light
Wore my jacket and i wore your sweater
Underneath the bridge was an indian summer
Purple mascara, safety pins kickin' the dirt
Took off your jacket took off my sweater
And we made a wish things would never be better
Train whistle blew my wish won't come. oh no.
You were the first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You're my first glimmer of light
You was my first,
You was my first
Wore my jacket and i wore your sweater
Underneath the bridge was an indian summer
Purple mascara, safety pins god did it hurt
Took off my jacket took off your sweater
And we made a wish things would never be better
Train whistle blew my wish came true.
You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
Oh baby now
Yes you were
Oh baby now
Yes you were

3. _ Someone I Once Knew
I was smoking a roundie
Thank god you found me
All by myself
And then you bounced through the door like nobody else
Hey you someone i once knew, sit your butt down
Hey you someone i once knew, sit your butt down
Watchin' my japanese tv
With my six string buddy
I was barely tickin'
And then you bounced through the door come alive and kickin'
Hey you someone i once knew, sit your butt down
Hey you someone i once knew, sit your butt down
You got brains, all the way down
You never changed
I just never got past
The ones you sit on
Hey you someone i once knew, sit your butt down
You got brains all the way down
You've never changed
I just never got past
Your little rock & roll ass
Shot bolt upright
When you mention the whole night
I was on the mend when
You let a smile crack
And it all came back
Hey you someone i once knew
Hey you someone i once knew, sit your butt down

4. _ Black-eyed Susan
Two.
Beads of sweat glimmer to the ground
Golden tears shimmer soft and round
Throwing small shadows
I catch those that fall at my feet
Black-eyed susan dancing in the breeze
See your slight body relax
Soon your young veins will collapse
Still throwing small shadows
Catch those that fall at my feet
Black-eyed susan dancing in the breeze
Black-eyed susan dancing in the breeze
Painted your curb, they know where to park
Painted your face, can't find you in the dark
Goodnight girl come on dance with me
See the bright pearls sink in the sky of ebony
Throwing small shadows
I catch those that fall at my feet
Black-eyed susan dancing in the breeze
Black-eyed susan dancing in the breeze
Throwing small shadows
God knows you move with ease
Throwing small shadows
Catch those that fall at my feet
Black-eyed susan dancing in the breeze
Black-eyed susan dancing just for me
Black-eyed susan dancing in the breeze
Mmm just for me
Mmm just for me

5. _ Mannequin Shop
You look fine a little strange. been working out? losing weight?
You got that hunger and i can see
You're looking younger than you're supposed to be
One little nip, one little tuck ohhh you're looking hip
You never never stop
Chop chop mannequin shop
The mannequin shop
You look bitching you look taut
I'm a itchin to know what was bought?
Are those yours? are those mine?
Are they paid for? its a lie.
One little nip, one little tuck ohhh you're looking hip
You never never stop
Chop chop mannequin shop
The mannequin shop

You're losing face
You're looking fine
My little frankenstein

You've got the face that you chose.
Honey, can you spare a nose?
You're looking great
You're losing face
You look fine a little strange. been working out? losing weight?
Are those yours? are those mine?
Are they paid for? its a lie.
One little nip one little tuck ohhh you're looking hip
Good enough to.......

6. _ Even Here
Beautiful flowers in your garden
But the most beautiful by far
The one growing wild in the garbage dump
Even here even here we are
Song of the bird lived in the sky
But the most beautiful by far
Scream of the man who never learned to fly
Even here even here we are
Sun shines bright its a beautiful sight
But the most beautiful by far
Is the blind girl alone with the angel of the night
Even here even here we are

7. _ Things
Things i wanna tell you
How you make me feel
How you look to me
And how good it feels
Things i don't wanna tell you
Every little thing's all right
What i was before
And where i was last night
Always things
All these things
Always things
Things i try to tell you but come out oh so wrong
Seem to feel pretty good, seem to last pretty long
Things i don't wanna tell you
Now there ain't no doubt
You lit a fire in me
Can't seem to put out
Always things
All these things
Things i long to tell you but i don't know how
Things i don't wanna tell you but i have to now
Packed my things
Things i'm bound to tell you like that dress looks great on ya
I could use some breathing room but i'm still in love with you
Things i'd never tell you, down the line someday
You'll be a song i sing, a thing i give away
Pack my things today, i packed my things today

8. _ Knocking On Mine
Allright
You read common knowledge, stockpile your brain
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
What they teach you to fix, needs to be broke
I say he who laughs first didn't get the joke
Go on, untap your mind
Quit knocking on mine
An english teacher from vancouver
She asked me to write something for her students.
I wrote knowledge adds, wisdom let slide
She says now really? i wanna tap your mind
Quit knockin' on mine
Walkin on
Knockin' on mine
Knowledge is power, got your books go read 'em
Wisdom is ignorance; stupidity i call freedom
Knockin' on mine
Get out
Comic books, the bible, roadmaps, pornography
Anything you wanna read
Go out and sit in a field sometime
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
... power got your books go read 'em
Wisdom is ignorance, stupidity, i call freedom
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
You read common knowledge every day.
You're as common as that newspaper you throw away
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
Won't you ever change
Won't you ever learn
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Yes sir
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock knock knockin' on mine
Knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock knock knockin' on mine
Quit knocking on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock knock knockin' on mine
Knock knock knockin' on mine

9. _ Runaway Wind
You don`t blow like the breeze you were born to be
You die down in the trees and try to hide
Will you witness the dark
All you need is a spark
A cathedral of torches to light the night
On your mark here I am
I`m your spark
Runaway wind
Run run away wind
You trade your telescope for a keyhole
Make way for the gray that`s in your brown
As dreams make way for plans
See ya watch life from the stands
Come on I`ll help you burn `em to the ground
On your mark here I am
I`m your spark
Runaway wind
He sees ya like a river
Deep and silent
And he runs to you like
A shallow noisy stream
I see what you`ve become and try to hide it
You need someone who sees
What you were born to be
Here I am
You don`t. blow like the breeze
You were born to be
You don`t know what to do with your life
As day returns to dark
Flame returns to spark
Come on I feel I`m blowing out tonight
I`m your spark here I am
I`m your spark here I am
I`m your spark here I am
On your mark run away wind
Watch you run
Watch you run
Watch you run

10. _ World Class Fad
Well you look fantastic in your cast-off casket
At least the thing still runs
This 9 to 5 bullshit don't let you forget
Whose suicide you're on.
I'm the one you trust in
And the world owes you nothing
You really, really want it that bad
You gotta come get it
It's your life, go live it
'round the corner, give it some gas
If you want it that bad
Be a world class fad
Remember leave a trail of crumbs
If you want it that bad
You're a world class fad
Remember where you started from
Don't be sad
You're a world class fad
You wax poetic about things pathetic
As long as you look so cute
Believe these hills are starting to roll
Believe these stars are starting to shoot
If you want it that bad
Be a world class fad
Remember leave a trail of crumbs
If you want it that bad
You're a world class fad
Remember where you started from
Don't be sad
You're a world class fad
And the pressures gonna build yeah
Higher and higher
Something's gotta move here
Ain't knocking on wood
You're foxin' the cove? oh yeah.
Don't be sad you're a world class fad
Well you look fantastic in your cast-off casket
At least the thing still flies
I believe this road is starting to wind
And where we're going, starting to hide
If you want it that bad
You're a world class fad
Remember leave a trail of crumbs
You want it that bad
Be a world class fad
Remember where you started from
If you want it that bad
A world class fad
If you want it that bad
You're a world class fad
Don't be sad
You're a world class fad
Don't be sad
You're a world class fad
Don't be sad
That you're a world class fad

11. _ Something Is Me
You've gotta get something off of your chest
Well something is me and let me guess
Something always changes eventually
Well something is me (something is me)
Now something is me (something is me)
Through the top of the porch, through the top of the wall
Something went wrong, my name is paul
Something always happens eventually
Well something is me (something is me)
Something is me (something is me)
Something something something something
Something something something something
Eventually something is me (something is me)
Woe is me (something is me)
Something something something something
Something something something something
Whose suicide are you on?
Take a left turn, you hop on my lawn
Something's got to grow eventually
I know something is me (something is me)
Something is me (something is me)
Something something something something
Something something something something
Gotta take something to make you feel good
Something ain't me but i wish it could
Finally find something to believe
Something is me (something is me)
Something is me (something is me)
Something is me (something is me)

12. _ Down Love
I'd love to turn you way way down
I've got to turn you way way down
If i could only find your volume
If i could only find your volume knob
You're always up to no damn good
Up to my neck in hollywood
I'd love to turn you way way on
Only find your volume knob
Keep it down down down love down
Keep it down love i hear ya
Keep it down love down down love
Keep it down love i hear ya
Oh yeah
Beat me on the top
Keep it down love down down down
Keep it down love i hear ya
Keep it down love down down love
Keep it down love i hear ya
When its free, is it all right if i left
Don't ask me
Love is deaf
Love is deaf
Love is deaf
If i could only find your volume knob
Love to turn turn you back down
Keep it down love down down love
Keep it down love i hear ya
Keep it down love down down love
Keep it down love i hear ya

13. _ Dice Behind Your Shades
Dice behind your shades
Roll the dice behind your shades
Everybody's trying to make you feel stupid
And you know they're lyin'
'cause their lips are moving
Bet this one is twice your age
Come on
Roll the dice behind your shades
Roll the dice behind your shades
Safer way to be strange
Roll the dice behind your shades
The avant garde unlock the door
You're takin' notes and nothing more
A guy snaps your picture on roller blades
Come on roll the dice behind your shades
Roll the dice behind your shades
Safest way to be strange
Roll the dice behind your shades
Take it to a higher place
Where this world ain't in your face
You and me, carson mccullers
Take it to a higher plane
Take me where the action ain't
Open windows
Open shutters
Bet this one is twice your age
Ohhhh...
The avante gardes unlock your cage
And you're sick to death of the latest rage
Afraid of love it always fades.
Come on
Roll the dice behind your shades
