Something New For Free
02:50

I make it up
To everyone I meet
I know as much
As much as you know me
Not self assured
So hard to be when
Everybody wants something new for free
I can’t exactly illustrate
But the lines across my face
Seem to depict a nicer place
Than where I’m at it seems
Everyone is watching
Everyone is talking
But nobody is listening
I make it up
To everyone I meet
I know as much
As much as you know me
Not self assured
So hard to be when
Everybody wants something new for free
Ooooo ooooo ooooo
Of all the places I could be
I’m in my head with those who are dead to me
And it took some time to change this man
And I’d say I’m better off than
Any of those white country bands
I couldn’t help but see
Everyone is watching
Everyone is talking
But nobody is listening
I make it up
To everyone I meet
I know as much
As much as you know me
Not self assured
So hard to be when
Everybody wants something new for free
Wants something new for free
They want something new for free
All want something new for free

My Way

I’m getting sick of
Waiting all the time
Someone else is in charge
Of making up my mind
Well I say
(He says)
I want
(He wants)
To be
(To be)
In charge
I’ve had enough of all
What some would call
The way things used to be
I’m taking over now
I’ll show you how
You all can see
My way
I’m getting sick of
Making up my mind
Someone else is in charge
Of wasting all my time
Well I say
(He says)
I want
(He wants)
To be
(To be)
In charge
I’ve had enough of all
What some would call
The way things used to be
I’m taking over now
I’ll show you how
You all can see
My way

Just So Fun
03:21

I have this sinking feeling
I’m living in the past
I catch myself still saying
“I wish that this would last”
But you pulled me from my bedroom
Said “let’s go out tonight”
You seem to be forgetting
What you’re really like
It’s just so fun
To see you happy
Unlike anyone
It sounds so dumb
But when you’re happy
So is everyone
We went to your friends party
I had too much to drink
You said I was embarrassed
I began to think
You caught me screaming Fast Car
Half naked on the street
You took my hand inside
And then you said to me
It’s just so fun
To see you happy
Unlike anyone
It sounds so dumb
But when you’re happy
So is everyone
[Macho Man interview]
“I’m wondering if you ever cry? You ever ha- has Macho Man ever cried?”
“Oh yeah. Uh-huh. It’s okay for macho men to show every emotion available right there you know because I’ve cried a thousand times, I’m gonna cry some more. But, I’ve sorrowed with the eagles and I’ve slithered with the snakes and I’ve been everywhere inbetween and I’m gonna tell you something right now. There’s one guarantee in life, in that there are no guarantees yeah.”
It’s just so fun
To see you happy
Unlike anyone
It sounds so dumb
But when you’re happy
So is everyone

Close Your Eyes
03:45

Where did this
Confidence of mine go?
Did it jump out the window?
When I saw you
What if we
Try and get a fresh start
I’d forget about art
And move into the suburbs
In big house with a big car
And a big dog in a yard
She’s walking over to me
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
My head is feeling heavy
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
How does she look so pretty?
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
And then she says quietly
Close your eyes it’s just a dream
Close your eyes
I have seen
You around my street
I’ve had all of these weeks
To fall in love
But I think
We should get away soon
Go to somewhere new
And relax by the water
With a big drink on a big beach
With a big dog on a leash
She’s walking over to me
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
My head is feeling heavy
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
How does she look so pretty?
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
And then she says quietly
Close your eyes it’s just a dream
Close your eyes it’s just a dream
Close your eyes
Well I’ve waited here for so long
For the chance to tell you just how I feel
I know the words to your songs
And I watched you play them on TV
I know you’re singing for me
She’s walking over to me
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
My head is feeling heavy
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
How does she look so pretty?
(Close your eyes it’s just a…)
And then she says quietly
Close your eyes it’s just a dream

Sometimes (I Wish)
03:02
|
|||

I’ve been having some trouble sleeping
Many friends have come and gone
There are days when the words you say are
Nothing more than words
And I know
That everyone says it’s how it’s supposed to be
But I know
That everyone else is clueless like me
Tell me everything is better when I’m around
Can you tell the pressure that’s inside has put me down
And it’s every time I get this memory
I begin to feel this guilt all over me
We’ve been setting this kitchen table
Every night for the past 5 weeks
I’ve been talking bout a life that’s past us
You’ve been telling me to let it be
And I know
That everyone says it’s how it’s supposed to be
But I know
That everyone else is clueless like me
So tell me everything is better when I’m around
Can you tell the pressure that’s inside has put me down
And it’s every time I get this memory
I begin to feel this guilt all over me
Sometimes I wish I didn’t exist
Tell me everything is better when I’m around
Can you tell the pressure that’s inside has put me down
And it’s every time I get this memory
I begin to feel this guilt all over me

Scumbag/Wetrag
03:24
|
|||
|
There he sits on the couch
Never knowing just
What he’s on about
Says his life’s a crying shame
Could’ve had it all
Didn’t want the fame
And he fights with every
One who doubts his
Credibility
I think I heard someone say
He’s a scumbag
He’s a wet rag
Hear him talk on the phone
Doesn’t mind that he’s
Living all alone
Says he could’ve had a wife
Just too many to choose
Didn’t have the time
And he fights with every
One who doubts his
Credibility
I think I heard someone say
He’s a scumbag
He’s a wet rag
He’s a redflag
He’s a scumbag
And he’s making his way
All across the USA
Watch him drink at the bar
Doesn’t say too much
Staring from afar
Says this place ain’t the same
Could’ve had it all
Didn’t want the fame
He’s a scumbag
He’s a wet rag
He’s a redflag
He’s a scumbag

More Than Happy

Take one
Have a seat
Mingle with whoever you like
Try not
To skip a beat
Everyone is looking but
That’s what you adore
Another great excuse to take the floor
You’ve made it very clear that I don’t need you anymore
So what makes you happy
Tell me tell me tell me tell me more
Cause I’m more than happy
That you got you got you got you got yours
You’ve been a problem in the making
Just wish I knew from the start
So what makes you happy
Tell me tell me tell me how happy you are
Picture
Another me
Thinking of the things I would say
To stand for
What I believe
But my energy is wasted cause
That’s what you adore
Another great excuse to take the floor
You’ve made it very clear that I don’t need you anymore
So what makes you happy
Tell me tell me tell me tell me more
Cause I’m more than happy
That you got you got you got you got yours
You’ve been a problem in the making
Just wish I knew from the start
So what makes you happy
Tell me tell me tell me how happy you are
Take one
Have a seat
Mingle with whoever you like
Try not
To skip a beat
Everyone is looking

Real Tough Life
02:44

Well it’s a real tough life
And you only get one try
I’ve been throwing out expectations
Seems that everyone has as well
But now it’s feeling like an amputation
A part of me is stuck in hell
Now every day comes wanting nothing
Telling me I should stay in bed
But there’s a fire that keeps me burning
Getting me outside my head
Hoping that this feeling stays
Breath it in
(Tell me what to do)
Is anybody else listening
(Oh what’s the use?)
Well it’s a real tough life and you only get one try
I’ve been known to be a bit dramatic
You can call me out, yes that’s fair
But when it comes to the world I’m living
Something takes a hold of me and says
We used to go out every Friday
Make a habit of dancing till 2
We used to laugh at the people that hate us
Hoping it would never get to you
Hoping that this feeling stays
Breath it in
(Tell me what to do)
Is anybody else listening
(Oh what’s the use?)
Well it’s a real tough life and you only get one try
