Wasting my time 03:26
lyrics
Wasting My Time I've been trying to catch the sun Though I know that it can't be done Always looking for things to come And there's so many things to do While the masses of people grow I See them blowing around like snow And I'm dying to get back home Just to waste all my time with you I should be wasting my time with you I should be wasting my time... And the powers-that-be want to bring us down They don't want our creative minds in this town A 9 to 5 in a daily grinding high rise Would surely be the death of me We're so caught in the push and shove We're so busy but so alone And the summer can get so cold Till I'm wasting my time with you I should be wasting my time with you I should be wasting my time... Can't be a burned out robot marking time While buckets of life are washing by Someone tell it like it is... Never taking the time to play Always saving for rainy days My vacation will start today When I'm wasting my time with you I should be wasting my time with you Should be wasting my time with you I will be wasting my time Working and Saving and Wasting Away.... Wasting Life away, Saving up but never time to spend....

Bash Away 04:11
lyrics
Bash Away Here Comes Your Anger Again You’re Firing it out through the halls Through the walls of yourself It’s all in the sound of your voice It’s not in the notes or the words you are saying Who cares Cause happiness, it isn’t cool to love it anymore The hippies died in ’69 now we’re back to war Bash Away, Bash Away Bash Away until you reach Nirvana Bash Away You got your anger from someone else It’s so convenient to be So mad at the word when the radio Spits out that noise Just follow the formula then You’ll have more free time watching Sports at the bar with your boys Pop out your head, reveal your face, just like when you were born You’re hiding on the other side of a prison door Bash Away, Bash Away Bash Away until you reach Nirvana Bash Away You got your anger from someone else Is it coincidence everyone’s mad today? Or is it because they’ve got nothing to say? So punch a hole in the sky, make it black and blue All the kids are taking hints, wanna be like you Bash Away, Bash Away Bash Away until you reach Nirvana Bash Away You got your anger from someone else

Deadman 02:55
lyrics
Deadman Deadman Be careful what you get man Demons in your head man Deadman You’re preppin for the show Just how high can you go Don’t try to hide the blow Now everybody knows No plan Ever think ahead man Bills are in the red man Deadman The needle’s what you need You’re sharing what you bleed Now a rocky purple haze Has crowded round your yesterdays New life, new soul, new needs, new role Screw your old friends, begin your end Deadman Hair is soaking wet man You’re going to the shed man With another deadman The party’s in your head You’re eyes are turning red Maybe you’ll make the news Another deadman’s learned the truth

Goodbye Radio 03:48
lyrics
Goodbye Radio Transmitting from the southern region Warming hearts through bitter seasons Transistors red hot Pushing the speakers that pump the rock and Are you alive or on recording Through someone’s corporate reporting Your mouth is on a shelf Feeding on words left by someone else and Now Big Brother Is Watching the Show Goodbye To My Radio What a shame, the machine took your life for the status quo Goodbye To My Radio What a shame, now the suits took your soul to a death below Goodbye Radio, Goodbye Radio Now you’ve become so regulated Predictable and overrated And you’re becoming prone To speaking in words that are not your own and You used to be so celebrated But now your suits are getting dated And now the kids are gonna trade it For Limewire.. (CH) Nothing to do with your heart at all Nothing to do with your soul Nothing to chose from your endless vaults Nothing to dedicate, nothing to celebrate

Sara Ann Michelle 04:08
lyrics
Sara Ann Michelle Sara Ann Michelle She is floating through a place And her words are like a play from Aristophanes Sara Ann Michelle Spicy lips of cherry red Always slips into my head When she's not next to me, ooohhh... When the sun comes down she's ready to play Some say, she never gets any sleep She is so profound she never says no She always goes, to all the clubs down the street Sara Ann Michelle Paints the sky a stormy grey Always got good things to say About the older days Sara Ann Michelle Like a star she radiates Buying gifts along the way To every holiday Halloween comes round and everyone knows She can't control, her need to tremble and scream When scary movies come out no waiting in line She always finds, a way to get in for free Hangin out at the Roxy with so many Billy Idol, Steve Stevens and Queen Freddie Every night she got ready to go for a ride Latin singing and dancing the night away Sara sings with the power of Janis J And I know that one day she will be a big And I know that one day she will be a big And I know in my heart she is such a big star so far Sara Ann Michelle She is floating through a place And her words are like a play from Aristophanes Sara Ann Michelle Spicy lips of cherry red Always slips into my head When she's not next to me, ooohhh... When the sun comes down she's ready to play When she floats downtown she radiates Sara bathes in the glory she creates When the sun comes down she's ready to play When she floats downtown she radiates Sara bathes in the glory she creates

No One Really Knows 03:04
lyrics
No One Really Knows He’s a man that no one really knows Till he slips into his other clothes He’s a man that no one really knows He’s a star He’s a man that no one really knows Till he goes backstage and changes clothes He’s a man that no one really knows He’s a Star Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Gonna kick a little ass tonight Outside his audience awaits his voice Backstage he medicates his pain 10,000 stages bought some hefty toys 10,000 lawyers took away He’s a man that no one really knows When he creeps into his empty home Right behind his shiny summer glow is a storm He’s a man that no one really knows No companion waits in silken robes Underneath his bulging leather coat he is torn Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Gonna kick a little ass tonight 10,000 women want to share his bed He knows he’ll never let them stay Cause they don’t really understand his songs Or what he’s really trying to say He wants to be a different man tonight He only needs a single fan tonight He’s got a very different plan tonight Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Gonna kick a little ass tonight Outside his audience awaits his voice Backstage he medicates his pain 10,000 stages bought some hefty toys 10,000 lawyers took away He’s a man that no one really knows…

Dirty Little Secret 04:05
lyrics
Dirty Little Secret Lying on a frame, tracing every curve Motion and finesse, calculate her worth Swinging from a branch, dancing in the breeze All her labor’s fruit’s – on forbidden trees And when she’s older she’ll be told to move along Returning to her man pretending nothing’s wrong She’s got a dirty little secret Dirty little secret She’s got a dirty little secret Dirty little secret Working through the night, difficult to please Her secondary job – brings her to her knees Speaking different tongues, learning how to breathe Confidence inside, was deep within her dreams She’s so successful being someone that she’s not But naked truth will reach the ones she couldn’t stop The one she loves is in the east But in the west is where she makes believe Streaming on the web, looking for a thrill Rising with the hour, a credit card bill Gets the one he wants, then he sees her face Pressure’s in his blood, pumping up his hot veins – Stirring up a hurricane Outro: And when she’s older she’ll be told to move along Returning to her man pretending nothing’s wrong She’s so successful being someone that she’s not But naked truth will reach the ones she couldn’t stop

Feeling Better 03:17
lyrics
Feeling Better You can’t imagine what you’ve lost Or calculate the cost Of losing me It takes a certain type of soul For you help you take control Of sanity But you thought you’d try to see If you could conquer me Look what you’ve done I’m feeling better now As I fly beyond your kind I’m feeling better now I found the light above your sky I had to swallow so much pride There was no more room inside For identity You had a knack for grabbing hold You seemed to have control Of gravity But karma’s finally saving me From your insanity It’s coming around I’m feeling better now As I fly beyond your kind I’m feeling better now I found the light above your sky Once you held my glance Nearly broke the glass that kept my pride inside But you, you and all your kind Will all serve your time eventually

The Big Picture 03:14
lyrics
The Big Picture I am like a giant sponge, absorbing all the images Spilling over values Filling with opinions Races, faces losing love, ignoring common lineage Only to demise a wealth of unheard cries The picture Lies before your eyes In color Just open up your mind And see it from all sides Points of View stick into you like darts from all directions There’s no right or wrong Fighting carries on Pondering humanity with words that cure infections Seeing armies gone Defenses all withdrawn The picture Lies before your eyes In color Just open up your mind And see it from all sides The Big Picture hangs in front of your face But your perception is a bit out of place You can share it if you want to display The reflections inside you Digesting rhetoric with a full head of steam Don’t judge what others say till you know what they mean Your neighbor cuts and bleeds the same as you and me Just look at everyone The picture Lies before your eyes In color Just open up your mind And see it from all sides The Big Picture hangs in front of your face But your perception is a bit out of place You can share it if you want to display The reflections inside you

Hey Uncle Pumpkin 03:59
lyrics
Hey Uncle Pumpkin Hey Uncle Pumpkin You may be alone but your still on your throne Hey Uncle Pumpkin Your secrets are safe can tell me today Hey Uncle Pumpkin I always knew that you could tell me everything about love Find everything in your mind and put it in my cup I always knew that you could tell me everything about love About love Hey Uncle Pumpkin You may be alone but your still on your throne Hey Uncle Pumpkin Your secrets are safe They always said that you could tell me everything about love Just fill me in on everything so I can be a stud I always knew that you could tell me everything about love About love What happened to that girl, the one you called Desiree No one has seen her now for maybe 6 or 7 weeks I only thought I’d ask, cause there’s some blood upon your cheek You dirty, you dirty You dirty You dirty, dirty You’re so dirty You’re so dirty You’re so dirty Oh so dirty Hey Uncle Pumpkin You may be alone but your still on your throne Hey Uncle Pumpkin Your secrets are safe can tell me today Hey Uncle Pumpkin I said you may be alone but your still on your throne Hey Uncle Pumpkin Go have your fun Don’t get your gun Go have your fun Don’t get your gun
