Consider this, the hint of the century … *

I’m worst at what I do best … *

The world is closing in, did you ever think that we could be so close, like brothers…**

I’m so vain, my whole world, I’d rather you, rather you than her …**

Sprechen Zie Deutsch, hey baby … ***

I wanna kiss you in Paris, I wanna hold your hand in Rome … ****

I drink myself of new found pity, sitting alone in New York City … **

We live in a wheel where everyone steals, but when we rise it’s like Strawberry Fields … **

We finally sold the Chevy when we had another baby and you took that job in Tennessee …*

There’s pigeons down on Market Square, she’s standing in her underwear…*

Her plane takes off from Baltimore and touches down on Bourbon Street…***

I thought she’d be there holding daisies, she always waits for me…****

LA is like Nashville with a tan…***

Can you fake it, for just one more show? … **

The slaves are all working … ***

When I’m lost and I’m found and I can’t touch the ground … **

I’ll be your whatever you want … **

When I lose myself, I want you to find me, I forget myself, I want you to remind me … *

I didn’t mean to hurt you, oh, but I did it anyway … **

Still cooking with an old-time, long-lost recipe…**

Hey I know it’s just a song but its spice for the recipe…**

Standing in the sun with a Popsicle and anything is possible … ****

It's such a gorgeous sight, to see you eat in the middle of the night…**

Got my eggs, got my pancakes too, got my maple syrup, everything but you…*

Burned your breakfast, so far things are goin great…***

I always thought this would be the land of milk and honey, oh but I found out that it’s all hate and money … ****

I took her home and made her dessert…*

They just stand there looking backward half unconscious from the pain … ****

Your words walk right through my ears, assuming I like what I hear … *

Sometime you’re gonna walk the street, behind a green sheet of glass … **

It’s a wonder to be a part of the miracles you see every hour … ***

We never talk of our lacking relationships … *

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes … ***

Sat around laughing and watching the last one die … **

I’m sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too? … ***

You’re strange, insane, one thing you can never change … *

Another mother’s breaking heart is taking over … *

I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me … **

There’s no bathroom and there is no sink, the water out of the tap is very…hard to drink, very hard to drink…****

All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming … ***

I will sit and earn the ransom from up here … **

He remembers being small, playing under the table and dreaming … *

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there, it's hard to believe that I'm all alone…*

Scared to death, no reason why, do whatever to get by, think about the things I said, read the paper, I'm cold and dead…****

There’s a log on the fire and it burns like me for you … ***

She fills her sails with my wasted breath… ****

Seems the road less traveled, show’s happiness unraveled, and you gotta take a little dirt to get what you love, that’s what you gotta do … ***

There’s been times, I’m so confused, all my roads lead to you, I just can’t turn and walk away … **

And I’ll drive down this lonely road, ooh I got this feeling girl, I gotta let you go…**

He walked with a purpose, in his sneakers, down the street… **

Just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home … *

Ain’t got no money, ain’t got no gas, but we’ll get where we’re goin’ if we swing real fast … ***

They wanted the highway they’re happier there…**

Hit the road out of nowhere had to jump my car and be a rider in the love game following the stars…****

On a curve, through the shoulder, there’s no parking in that trough … ****

Now that they’ve brought you down, roundabout and roundabout, who wants a life anyway … ***

The lightbulb’s getting dim, there’s meltdown in the sky … **

Well I lie and I’m easy, all of the time but I’m never sure why I need you … **

With your bitch-slap rappin’ and your cocaine tongue, you get nothin’ done … **

This morning’s paper says our neighbor’s in a cocaine bust, lots more to read about Lolita and suburban lust … **

I’m gonna set it straight this Watergate … *

Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun…***

I see the sun coming up and the funeral at dawn … **

Ooh she’s got a body under that shirt, but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt … ****

Oh pretty baby there's nothing that I wouldn’t do, it’s not the way I planned it…***

Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head? … *

He sings the songs that remind him of the good times, he sings the songs that remind him of the better times … **

We've come a long, long way together, through the hard times and the good…*

You’re the only shoe that fits, I can’t imagine I’ll grow out of it… ***

I come along but I don’t know where you’re taking me, I shouldn’t go but you’re wrenching, dragging, shaking me … ****

I rise above, or sink below, with every time, you come and go … ***

Well don’t get lonely now, and dry your whining eyes, I’m just roaming for the moment … **

You’re always asking what it’s all about, so listen to my reply … *

We blend everything with the color of skin, under the skin we’re in like Flynn, ducks stare at us as soon as we begin, to innovate the frame of thought they’re in … ****

Don’t believe the fear, don’t believe the faith, don’t believe in anything, that you can’t break … *

I just flipped off President George…****

Well maybe I’ll call or write you a letter, now maybe we’ll see on the Fourth of July … ***

TV news and camera, there’s choppers in the sky, Marines, police, reporters ask how for and why … **

And if you see Johnny-football-hero in the hall, tell him he played a great game, tell him you liked his article in the newspaper … ***

Tired song keeps playing on a tired radio…**

Radio plays what they want you to hear…**

Turn off that smoke-stack, and, that, goddamn radio…***

I turn the radio on, I turn the radio up, and this woman is singin' my song…***

Play a track from your record collection, it’s your mix, congratulations … ***

If you speak at one constant volume, at one constant pitch, at one constant rythym, right into your ear, you still won’t hear…****

I hope you heard this song and it pissed you off...**

They rally ‘round the family, with a pocket full of shells … *

She dreams the champagne dream, strawberry surprise, pink linen with white paper … ***

The agony and the irony, they’re killing me … ***

Stuttering, cold and damp, steal the warm wind tired friend … *

In a time I can’t remember and a war he can’t forget … **

I’ll wait for you until dawn, my mind is ripped, my heart is torn … ***

An elderly couple walks into the bar, dangerously close to one another … **

I’ll walk right out into a brand new day, insane and rising in my own weird way..*

And long ago somebody left with the cup … *

Light the sky and hold on tight, the world is burning down, she’s out there on her own and she’s alright … ***

Constant, over-stimulation numbs me, and I wouldn’t have it, any other way … ****

Last night I came into your home to break some ice and throw some stones … **

Keep her down, boiling water, keep her down, what a lovely daughter … *

Now, deservingly, this easy chair…**

When I’m dreaming, yes I know I’m gonna dream, dream about the time when I’m with you … *

Hey little girl, you want it all, the furs the diamonds the paintings on the wall….*

Love can make you hostage wanna do it again … *

When you sent me off to see the world, were you scared that I might get hurt?…***

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need … ***

I used to think the idea was obsolete, until I heard the old man tapping his feet **

Complain about the present and blame it on the past, I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass … ***

I hate the world today … *

I need you more than a sailor needs a breeze, I need you more than an Eskimo freeze … ***

There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off…*

I will be in the bar with my head on the bar, I am now a central part of your mind’s landscape whether you care or do not, yeah, I’ve made up your mind…**

Watch me unravel, I’ll soon be naked (lyin’ on the floor) Lyin on the floor, I’ve come undone…***

And you learn to accept it, you know it’s so pathetic…*

The hammocks and the doorways we spent time in swing empty, I don’t see lightning like last fall when it was always about to hit me…*

There’s a world outside your darkened door where the blues won’t harm you anymore … ****

Behind closed doors your words ring hollow, what you said they’d be…***

Beyond the door, there’s peace I’m sure…*

There’s a place I like to hide, a doorway that I run to in the night, relax child, you were there, but only didn’t realize it and you were scared…***

I have never felt this good before, if you want I’ll sleep outside your door, you’re the best time I ever had, you look so good, oh babe you must be bad…****

I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul…*

Truth is not kind, and you said neither am I…***

Like a game show contestant with a parting gift I could not believe my eyes…**

Behind the boathouse, I’ll show you my dark secret…**

To crawl beneath my veins and now I don’t care, I have no luck, I don’t miss it all that much…*

Gotta get into Sailor Moon because that toon has the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing…**

I’m such a baby ‘cause the Dolphins make me cry…*

You’ll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy…**

And everyone here is wondering what it’s like to be with somebody else…**

I don’t know what’s real without you, how can I exist without you?…***

Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go I…****

I know a girl, who looks like Cher…***

You’re an angel with wings of fire, a flying, giant friction blast, you’re a giant, flying friction blast…****

Just too wrapped up in your own emotion, your vanity will always be your greatest thing…***

And I’ll tell you things that you already know so you can say, “I really identify with you, so much”…****

If you want my future forget my past, if you wanna get with me better make it fast…**

Capitalism has made it this way, Old-fashioned fascism will take it away…****

Don’t be afraid to be weak, don’t be too proud to be strong, just look into your heart my friend, that will be the return to yourself…**

You live in a church where you sleep with voodoo dolls…*

Some kind of verb, some kind of moving thing, something is motioning, to rise…**

Wake up the dawn and ask her why, I dream a dream she never dies, wipe that tear away now from your eyes…**

You’re happy you’re in love, you need someone to hate…****

So cut the crap and tell me that we’re through…**

And all the stars were just like little fish…**

Some days I pray for silence, some days I pray for soul, some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock n’ roll…**

I don’t care if you really care as long as you don’t go…*

And as I recall, I think we, both kinda liked it…*

Boys come along a dime by the dozen, that ain’t nothing but ten-cent lovin…*

When it’s through, it’s through, fate will twist the both of you, so come on baby, come on over…**

Who hides the east from a blind man’s eye, in the land of peace, where the righteous cry…****

I saw the decade in when it seemed the world could change in the blink of an eye, and if anything, then there’s your sign (of the times)…**

A crack in the window is a light in the sky…****

Hey girl in your eyes I see a picture of me all the time, and girl when you smile you gotta know that you drive me wild…***

When you're lost and lonely and feel you can't go on, in the blink of an eye you can throw it all away…****

And I was lost for words in your arms, attempting to make sense of my aching heart…****

Oh man, I know, I’ve gotta go, it’s the same thing every time…***

She spent her twenties between the sheets and life limped along at subsonic speeds…***

I’m the trouble starter, punkin’ instigator…**

I walked the avenue ‘til my legs felt like stone, I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone…***

And I don’t want it, the things you’re offering me, symbolized bar-code, quick ID…****

I, don’t like a thing about your mother, and I, I hate your daddy’s guts too…*

I’m your average, ordinary, everyday kid, happy to do nothing, in fact that’s what I did…***

Thoughts of what we were, invade, miles that stand between, you can’t separate, you’re all I hoped you’d become…****

This is not a love song, it's a fantasy life…****

So let’s just say it worked out like a storybook dream, and we lived happily ever after, fa la la la…****

Other people walking through my head, one of them’s got a gun to shoot the other one…****

Make love not war sounds so absurd to me, we can’t afford to say these words lightly…****

I got clearance but you ain't got none...**

He never really loved you from the start, the only thing he ever gave you was a broken heart…****

It's been several hours and 15 days since you took your love away…**

Flesh and bone by the telephone, pick up the receiver, I'll make you a believer…**

I told them to check in the medicine cabinet because I leave it there sometimes, but not this time…***

If youre not digging too deep though its easier said than done, you’ve got to feel it in your blood play the game like you’ve already won…****

Hey bro, take it slow, you ain't living in a video…***

Yesterday is just a memory, can we close the door, I just made one mistake, I didn’t know what to say when you called me baby…****

I want to love somebody, I hear you need somebody to love…***

Pick your head up boy when you're talkin to me…****

Did you hear the distant cry calling me back to myself…****

I could change my life to better suit your mood…**

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love…***

Please baby can't you see my mind’s a burnin hell, I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin' my heart apart as well…***

I kicked you out, you moved next door, you're like a disease without any cure…*

I may have died, but I've gone nowhere…****

Stadium minds with their stadium lives make you want to laugh, it’s the garbage vendors, us, the true offenders of the craft…****

The cops gave chase, but my man, Steve, he's an ace…***

Just like Moses on a motor bike…***

Look at all the people just like me who go it alone…****

The smoke alarm is going off and there's a cigarette still burning…***

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end…**

The kids 'round here look like sticks, they trade old licks with a beat up six, I just smile and catch the groove…****

Can you tell me, no you can't, if you don't know…**

Everyone wants a goat for a friend…***

Papa's in the icebox, looking for a can of ale…*

Should I be feelin' bad (nope) should I be feelin' good (nope)…*

I'll hang from your lips, instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above…**

You feel her rise as you kiss her mouth…***

Things that we're afraid of, are gonna show us what we're made of in the end…**

They shook and lurched all over the church floor…**

Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson…*

Yeah I shake my little tush on the catwalk…*
