@SONG: Tired of Sex

i'm tired

i'm tired of having sex (so tired)
i'm spread
so thin
i don't know who i am (who i am)
monday night, i'm making jen
tuesday night, i'm making lin
wednesday night, i'm making catherine
so why can't i be making love come true?
whoa

ashamed of what i said (what i said)
i'm sorry
do not go
i know i'm silly, but i can't say no (say no)
thursday night, i'm making denise
friday night, i'm making therese
saturday night, i'm making louise
so why can't i be making love come true?
whatcha gonna do?
tonight, i'm down on my knees
tonight, i'm begging you please
tonight, tonight, so please
so why can't i be making love come true?


@SONG: Getchoo

this is beginning to hurt
this is beginning to be serious
it used to be a game
now it's a crying shame
'cause you don't wanna play around no more
uh huh
sometimes i push too hard
sometimes you fall onto your knee
i never meant to do
all that i've done to you
please just say it's not too late
getchoo, uh huh
getchoo, uh huh
getchoo, getchoo, getchoo
uh huh
you know this is breaking me up
you think that i'm some kind of freak, uh huh
if you come back to me
then you will surely see
that i'm just fooling around
getchoo, uh huh
getchoo, uh huh
getchoo, getchoo, getchoo
i can't believe (i can't believe)
what you've done to me
what i did to thou
you've done to me, whoa
yeah
getchoo, uh huh
getchoo, uh huh
getchoo, getchoo, getchoo
this is beginning to hurt.


@SONG: No Other One

my girl's a liar
but i'll stand beside her
she's all i've got and i don't want to be alone
my girl don't see me
when she's with my friends
she's all i've got and i don't want to be alone
know there is no other one
know there is no other one
i can't have any other one
though i would now, i never could with one
all of the drugs she does
scare me real good
she's got a tattoo and two head snakes
nobody knows me like her
nobody knows her like me
we're all we've got and we don't want to be alone
know there is no other one
know there is no other one
i can't have any other one
though i would now, i never could with one
whoa
know there is no other one
know there is no other one
i won't have any other one
though i would now, i never could with one.


@SONG: Why Bother

i know i should get next to you
you've got a look that made me think you're cool
but it's just sexual attraction
it's nothing real
so i'd better keep whackin'
why bother
it's gonna hurt me
it's gonna kill when you desert me
this happened to me twice before
won't happen to me anymore
i've known a lotta girls before
what's the harm in knowing one more?
maybe we could even get together
maybe you could break my heart next summer
why bother
it's gonna hurt me
it's gonna kill when you desert me
this happened to me twice before
won't happen to me anymore
it's a crying shame, i'm all alone
not with you - nor her - nor anyone
won't deny me of my head
crack it open and then i would share
why bother
it's gonna hurt me
it's gonna kill when you desert me
this happened to me twice before
won't happen to me anymore.


@SONG: Across The Sea

you are eighteen year old girl
who live in small city in japan
you heard me on the radio
about one year ago
and you wanted to know all about me
and my hobbies
my favorite food and my birthday
why are you so far away from me?
i need help and you're way across the sea
i could never touch you
i think it would be wrong
i've got your letter
you've got my song
they don't make stationery like this where i'm from
so fragile
so defined
so i snare (so i snare)
and i lick (and i lick)
your envelopes
fall to little pieces every time
i wonder what clothes you wear to school
i wonder how you decorate your room
i wonder how you touch yourself
and curse myself for being across the sea
why are you so far away from me?
i need help and you're way across the sea
i could never touch you
i think it would be wrong
i've got your letter
you've got my song
at ten i shaved my head and tried to be a monk
i thought the older women would like me if i did
you see, mom, i'm a good little boy (good little boy)
it's all your fault, momma
it's all your fault
goddamn, this business is really lame
i gotta live on an island to find the truth
so send me your love
from all around the world
so i gotta live on words and dreams and a million screams
oh, how i need a hand of mine to feel
why are you so far away from me?
why are you so far away from me?
i could never touch you
i think it would be wrong
i've got your letter
you've got my song
i've got your letter
you've got my song.


@SONG: The Good Life

(yeah, check me)
when i look in the mirror
i can't believe what i see
tell me who's that funky dude
starin' back at me
folking bitten down
can't even get around
god an old man came
fall and hit the ground
shivering in the cold
bitter and alone
excuse the fiction
i shouldn't complain
i should have no feeling
'cause feeling is pain
'cause everything i need
is denied me
and everything i want
is taken away from me
but who do i got to blame
nobody but me
and i don't wanna be a lone man anymore
it's been a year or two since i was down on the floor
shakin' booty, making sweet love all the night
it's time i got back to the good life
it's time i got back
it's time i got back
and i don't even know how i got off the track
i wanna go back, yeah
scooby's cracked, i've had it
i ain't no mr. cool
i'm a pig, i'm a dog
so 'scuse me if i drool
i ain't gonna hurt nobody
ain't gonna 'cause a scene
justly to admit i want sugar in my tea
hear me (hear me) i want sugar in my tea
and i don't wanna be a lone man anymore
it's been a year or two since i was down on the floor
shakin' booty, making sweet love all the night
it's time i got back to the good life
it's time i got back
it's time i got back
and i don't even know how i got off the track
i wanna go back, yeah
i wanna go back
i wanna go back
and i don't even know how i got off the track
it's time i got back
it's time i got back
and i don't even know how i got off the track
i wanna go back, yeah.


@SONG: El Scorcho

(el scorcho, rock and roll!)
goddamn, you half japanese girls
do it to me every time
oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
and i'm jello, baby
'cause you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
i'm the epitome
a public enemy
why you wanna go and do me like that?
come down on the street and dance with me
i'm alive like you, so please
hello, i'm here, i'm waiting (oh)
i think i'd be good for you
and you'd be good for me
i asked her to go to the green day concert
you said you'd never heard of them (how cool is that?)
how cool is that?
so i went to your room and read your diary
watching grunge leg, job new jack, jew press table
then my heart stopped listening to chocho san
fall in love all over again (owwww!)
i'm alive like you, so please
hello, i'm here, i'm waiting (oh, it's breaking my heart)
i think i'd be good for you
and you'd be good for me
how stupid is it
i can't talk about it
i gotta sing about it
and make a record of my heart
how stupid is it
won't you gimme a minute
just come up to me
and say hello (my heart)
how stupid is it
for all i know you want me to
or maybe you just don't know what to do
maybe you're scared to say
i'm falling for you
i wish i could get my head outta the sand
'cause i think we'd make a good team
and you would keep my fingernails clean
but that's just a stupid dream that i won't realize
'cause i can't even look in your eyes without shakin'
and i ain't fakin'
i'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon.


@SONG: Pink Triangle

when i'm sick along enough
i start to look around for love
see us reaching for a prince
my mind begins the orange mess
but when i start to feel that pull
sometimes i like to pull myself
she would never go with me
we're not all that's good on earth
i'm dumb, she's a lesbian
i thought i had found the one
we were good as married in my mind
but married in my mind's no good
pink triangle, honestly
let me know the truth
let me know the truth
my, what am i s'posed to do with my time
would never thought it was a crime
knew the day would surely come
when i'd chill and settle down
when i think i've found a good old fashioned girl
then she put me in my place
everyone's a little queer
oh, can't she be a little straight
let me know the truth.


@SONG: Falling For You

holy cow, i think i've got one here
now just what am i supposed to do
i've got a number of irrational fears
that i'd like to share with you
first this loser battle goats like me
hanging around with chicks like you
but i do like you and another one
you say like too much
but i shake your natural touch
i like you way too much
my baby, i'm afraid i'm falling for you
i'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
or maybe i would rather settle down with you
holy moley, baby, wouldn't you know it
just as i was bustin' loose
i've got a goat here in my rock star part
get fat, alone with you
'cause i'm a burning kennel
you're a gentle mutt
teaching me to lick a little bit kinder
and i do like you, you're the lucky one
no, i'm the lucky one
i shake your natural touch
i like you way too much
my baby, i'm afraid i'm falling for you
i'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
or maybe i would rather settle down with you
holy sweet goddamn, you left your cello in the basement
i need my hand to bow the stars
and tried to play a tune
i can't believe how bad a soft kiss to you
what could you possibly see in little old preschool me
but i do like you and you like me too
i'm ready, let's do it, baby.


@SONG: Butterfly

yesterday, i went outside
with my momma's mason jar
caught a lovely butterfly
when i woke up today
looked in on my fairy pet
she had withered all away
no more sighing in her breast
i'm sorry for what i did
i did what my body told me to
i didn't mean to do you, hon
everytime i pin down what i think i want, it slips away
the goal slips away
smell you on my hand for days
i can't wash away your scent
if i'm a dog, then you're a bitch
i guess you're as real as me
maybe i can live with that
maybe i need fantasy
life of chasing butterfly
i'm sorry for what i did
i did what my body told me to
i didn't mean to do you, hon
everytime i pin down what i think i want, it slips away
the goal slips away
i told you i would return
when the robin makes his nest
but i ain't never coming back
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
i'm sorry.

There were some mistakes.
My source were the original lyrics to the Pinkerton-album by Rivers
Cuomo appearing in his hand-writing.
