Stay Cool, Biff 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Here we are again Reunited with old friends Starting up a conversation Just to see how it will end Here we are so fast So sick of kissin' ass Lookin' into a crystal ball and seein' only the past Maybe then I'll write you a letter Maybe I'll address it this time Maybe then I'll try to forget her But I can't get her off of my mind Here we are so sure Drivin' to the liquor store Hand me my favorite glass And watch me as I pour Here we are so far Drivin' seperate cars I must just be out of luck But baby I'm a star Maybe then I'll write you a letter Maybe I'll address it this time Maybe then I'll try to forget her But I can't get her off of my mind Here we are so sure Drivin' to the liquor store Hand me my favorite glass And watch me as I pour Here we are so far Drivin' seperate cars I must just be out of luck But baby I'm a star

Singular 04:23
lyrics

Singular drinks spilled out on the floor Anyone thinks they can walk out that door The trouble you took, defining your eyes Your double is spooked, designing replies Singular knots tied up in my brain The less you can see the less you can explain No one to ask what it’s all about But if you can think … (Chorus) Tell me again about the world outside Does it disappear when I close my … Tell me again about the world inside Does it disappear when I close my eyes? Singular knots tied up in my brain The less you can see the less you can explain No one to ask what it’s all about But if you can think there should not be a doubt The ego explodes splashes on the floor Half of them left yeah but one wanted more The songs that they wrote they went for the cool Did they go for the throat…? (Chorus) Singular drinks spilled out on the floor Anyone thinks they can walk out that door The trouble you took, defining your eyes Your double is spooked, designing replies Singular knots tied up in my brain The less you can see the less you can explain No one to ask what it’s all about But if you can think … (chorus) x2

Count Up 04:16
lyrics

Count Up There were 17 7-11s Stacked, corner-to-corner There were 18 separate heavens Each with their own borders There were 19 desperate Kevins Getting marching orders There were 20-year-old men Sinking into torpors (chorus) Nobody asked you to come here Nobody signed your name Nobody asked you to come here Nobody feels the shame Nobody asked you to come here Nobody signed your name Nobody asked you to come here Nobody feels the shame Freedom! Oh! You don’t! Know! Freedom! Oh! You don’t! Know! There were 17 full hours Still left in the day There were 18 bright flowers Somebody left on my grave There were 19 super powers No world left to save There were 20 year old men Fanning their own flames (Chorus, solo) There were 17 black piranhas Biting at my skin There were 18 mad Madonnas Waiting to begin There were 19 sad hosannas Heralding the end There were 20-year-old men Playing ‘lets pretend’ (chorus)

I’m seeing red I’m working blue I’m half-past dead I’m beside you I’m overbooked I’m super tired I’m undercooked I’m badly wired (chorus) You can’t ever leave You can’t ever understand me You can’t ever leave You can’t ever understand me I’m looking green I’m seeing red I’m a machine I’m in your head I’m overbooked I’m super tired I’m undercooked I’m badly wired (chorus)

No bitch is safe from Chicago Ted If it’s just a ride, like the prophet said Then why the hell am I so afraid? Then why the hell am I so…? (chorus) Can’t run! With a broken leg Can’t smile!

They why the hell am I so…? (chorus, solo, chorus)

Something You Don't 04:50
lyrics
buy track
You rushed in Dirty words and whispers She sinks in Buttonholes and blisters It looks grim Birthday clowns and fast trains He sinks in Wedding nights and mistakes (chorus) when you wake he sleeps and when he laughs you cry when you look into those eyes… when you wake he sleeps and when he laughs you cry when you look into those eyes… You rushed in Dirty sheets and bloodstains He looks in Wedding vows and mistakes It’s so loud Razorblades and cupcakes She’s lost now Wedding nights and mistakes (chorus, solo) I know something you don’t I know something you don’t know (repeat till end)

'75 04:11
lyrics
buy track
’75 I remember 75 Even though I wasn’t quite alive Man, I should’ve been there To see those glam boys on the stage With their cocktails and their rage Man, I should’ve been there A couple of years too late To see a girl out on a date Y’know, she’s a keeper All that I wanna do Is to re-create just a few Passions from the sound (chorus) To have it all right now (x4) I remember 75 Even though I wasn’t quite alive Man, I should’ve been there Those disco, funk, punk days For many years I was amazed Avalon, Transformer, Wonderland All that I can do now is sit around And wonder how, how can we repeat it? All that I wanna do Is re-create yeah just a few Passions from the sound (chorus, solo, chorus)

Stop! The Reporters Will See 03:08
lyrics

Breaking hearts And taking names From A to Z You’re all the same Making bets On who to cast From top to bottom You’ll fall so fast (chorus) So it goes So it is So you know enough of this (x2) Aren’t you tired of the way things are? Aren’t you tired of fake rock stars? (x2) Faking smiles And taking aim From first to last You’re all the same (all the same) Dropping out And short on cash From high to low You’ll fall so fast (Chorus) STOP! Making out And dropping names From A to Z You’re all to blame Making bets On who to cast From top to bottom You’ll fall so fast So it goes So it is So you know enough of this (x2) Aren’t you tired of the way things be? Stop! The reporters will see (x2) STOP.

It has come to my attention The skies are not so grey It has come to my attention You should live just for today It has come to my attention Times are not so bad It has come to my attention That you should not feel so sad (chorus) You brought me To my senses You caught me Off my defenses (x2) It has come to my attention Times are not so bad It has come to my attention That you should not feel so sad It has come to my attention The sky is not so blue It has come to my attention That we did all we could do (chorus, solo, chorus x2)

Brilliant Picture 04:25
lyrics
buy track
You can paint a brilliant picture Go home and hang it on a wall You can dictate your own future And take pride in your own fall Will it really make a difference? Cause it all ends anyway Will it really make a difference? And what will the survivors say? (chorus) “Is this really happening?” “Did we take it this far?” “Is this all over now?” “Did we lose?” (x2) You can write a little letter Go home and send it to your girl You can feel a little better About your place in this big world Will it really make a difference? Cause it all ends anyway Will it really make a difference? What will the survivors say? (chorus, solo, chorus)
