FOREVER

Listen to this song

Fame is something money can buy
But does it mean the rest can't give it a try?
Forever and ever

And what it takes
That's something else I can't say
But does it mean
We turn the best ones away?
Forever and ever

Whatever happened to the sound
The scratch and the needle comin' down?
Maybe we started this too late
Whatever happened to that song?
Whatever happened to the pills we ate?
The pills we ate?

Fame is something else you can buy
But does it mean that we can't give it a try?
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever

ALICEANNA

Listen to this song

She warms the world from deep inside her
But try to find her
And the trail is cold
She makes the stars shine high above her
And God I love her
Where has she gone?

She mourns the fall of every sparrow
But Eros' arrow
Never pierced her heart
She's gone, and oh the hours wasted
The fruits untasted
Where has she gone?
I don't know
Where has she gone?

She warms the world from deep inside her
But try to find her
And the trail is cold
She makes the stars shine high above her
And God I love her
And God I love her
Where has she gone?
I don't know
Where has she gone?

PRETTY PEOPLE

Pretty people on the TV
Irritate the hell out of me
Still I wish that I could be one too
All this time spent dwelling on them
Jealous even of their problems
Must be lovely being so obtuse
Some call this progress
Tell me what drugs are they on
'Til you find the one you want
You don't need to love no-one

Pretty people may seem tempting
When they sing of happy endings
But they're always first to come unglued
Little pop star young and vapid
Read your interview and laughed at
All the stupid things you think are true
Some call this progress
Tell me what drugs are they on
'Til you find the one you want
You don't need to love noone

Pretty people drive me crazy
Andi hates the lyric "baby"
Baby it's just part of what we do...
Some call this progress
Tell me what drugs are they on
'Til you find the one you want
You don't need to love no-one
Tell me your secrets
Tell me I'm the only one
When you finally find someone
You don't really love noone

CAROLINE KNOWS

Love doesn't age or so I've been told
But sometimes I think that it's getting old
So when does it end and how did it start?
I'm never sure

I've said some things that sound rather bold
For someone so scared of being alone
But though I believe we are growing apart
You can be sure
Caroline knows

SUNSHINY DAYDREAM

Sunshiny day, Sunshiny daydream

When I awoke to such a bright day
I almost forgot that you'd gone away
So now I'm gonna have to pretend
I still have you
And I'm not alone
Under skies of blue

Sunshiny day, Sunshiny daydream

Couples in love are out in the streets
To gaze at the sun and smile in the breeze
So tell me honey
What am I supposed to do
But spend my day
Dreaming I'm with you?

Sunshiny Day, Sunshiny Daydream

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A man could break his back to find
A structured life and peace of mind
Tuesday through Saturday
A steady job, an honest wage
Through disappointment and decay
Tuesday through Saturday

All that remains
Is always the same
Always
Don't keep me waiting

Sunday we spend behind closed doors
Monday is just the day before
Tuesday through Saturday

All that remains
Is always the same
Always
Don't keep me waiting

I know that I can make it through
I think of coming home to you
Tuesday through Saturday

YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

Once we planted something
Is that called "hope"?
You ought to know
There's no telling why
Some things just never grow
You ought to know

This equation
Has no summation
You oughta know
You ought to know by now

Once we built up thick walls
Is that a home?
You ought to know
Was is it just to have
Some thing to call our own?
You ought to know

This composition
Has no transition
You oughta know
You ought to know by now

Once we buried something
Had it gone cold?
You ought to know
There's no way to say
Where long dead wishes go
You ought to know
You ought to know by now

THE POPULAR

Listen to this song

My peeps, my dearest friends and confidants
It's clear we don't know what the hell we want
And yet we want it all the time
Like G., He wanted to go out with her
I guess he shouldn't have introduced me first
‘Cuz I was in a state of mind

And I feel the pain of the popular
I feel your pain

I freak, I love to do the body rock
Full speed, I'm illin' when I pop and lock
And yet I'm miserable tonight
‘Cuz I feel the pain of the popular
I feel your pain

And now I only want to bring you down
Don't blink, just put this one in turnaround
'Cuz I am in a state of mind
And I feel the pain of the popular
I feel your pain
Yeah I feel the pain of the popular
I feel your pain
And I writhe

THE LOVE SONGS OF B. DOUGLAS WILSON

Catch a wave, it makes you feel like flying
And you're never coming down
Making records and the kids are buying
California summer sound

Never learned to say "no"

Teenage sockhops, lovers on the dancefloor
Will you be true to your school?
Cars and girls are what the fellas live for
And the music's always cool

Never learned to say "no"

Now you're old, old
And all of your records are gold
You'll be who we want you to be
You have measured out life with your tunes, tunes

When I hear that song I feel like crying
Well it's always in my head
If I wake up and don't feel like trying
Should I spend my life in bed?

Never learned to say "no"

Surf's up again . . . .
