Same ol' Situation She’s got an alligator bag Top hat to match Dressed in black on black She’s got a philipino girlie She claims is her friend I tell you boys, you just gotta laugh Now I used to call her cindy She changed her name to sin I guess that’s the name of her game I really used to love her Then, the kitty she discovered It’s got to be a sexual thing (pre-chorus) All around the world Girls will be girls (chorus) It’s the same ol’, same ol’ situation It’s the same ol’, same ol’ ball and chain I say no, no, no No, no, no Introduced me to her lover In a cellophane dress Then they bid me a sweet farewell Last time I saw them They were kissing so softly To the sound of wedding bells Well, (pre-chorus) (chorus) (chorus) No, no, no No, no, no (solo) (chorus) (chorus) You know we just gotta say (pre-chorus) (chorus) (chorus) |

Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not at home But I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back." I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but- I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone |

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars Any heart not tough nor strong enough To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain, Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain ..... Love hurts ...... Oooh ...... love hurts. I'm young, I know, but even so I know a thing or two, I've learned from you I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot Love hurts, love hurts Some fools rave on happiness, blissfullness, togetherness Some fools fool themselves I guess But they're not fooling me ...... I know it isn't true, know it isn't true Love is just a lie, made to make you blue Love hurts ...... Oooh ...... love hurts. Oooh ...... love hurts. Oooh ...... love hurts. Oooh ...... love hurts. |

Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction holding me fast, how Can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to guide my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that’s learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i Friction lock - set. Mixture - rich Propellers - fully forward Flaps - set - 10 degrees Engine gauges and suction - check Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck Flight instruments... Altimeters - check both (garbled word) - on Navigation lights - on Strobes - on (to tower): confirm 3-8-echo ready for departure (tower): hello again, this is now 129.4 (to tower): 129.4. it’s to go. (tower): you may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots. (to tower): 3-8-echo Easy on the brakes. take it easy. it’s gonna roll this time. Just hand the power gradually, and it... Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There’s no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i |

I met her on a strip It was another lost weekend The band was too slick And the people were twisted So I asked her for a date She reluctantly agreed Then we went to my place And she never did leave She won’t even miss me when she’s gone And that’s okay with me I’ll cry later on It’s been six months She hasn’t shut up once I’ve tried to explain She’s driving me insane She won’t even miss me when she’s gone And that’s okay with me I’ll cry later on Talk to ya later—don’t want to hear it again tonight Talk to ya later—just save it for another guy Talk to ya later—don’t want to hear it again tonight I’ll just see you around Get out I’m telling you now Do you catch my drift What could be plainer than this Nothin’ more to be said Write me a letter instead I don’t mean to be cruel But I’m finished with you She won’t even miss me when she’s gone That’s okay with me I’ll cry later on Talk to ya later—don’t want to hear it again tonight Talk to ya later—just save it for another guy Talk to ya later—don’t want to hear it again tonight I’ll just see you around |

Down on South Street Philadelphia, Out from Avenue C, I seen it in the eyes it was ready to freeze from the valley hotel! I don't care about you! Fuck you! I don't care about you! Fuck you! I see Hollywood boulevard, a welfare hotel, I spent the night in jail, near the Wilcox hotel! I don't care about you! Fuck you! I don't care about you! I've seen an old man have a heart attack in Manhattan. Well he just died while we just stood there lookin' at him. Ain't he cute? I don't care about you! Ohhhhhhhhh! I don't care about you! I see man rollin' drunks, bodies in the streets. Some man was sleepin' in puke and a man with no legs crawling down 5th street trying to get something to eat! I don't care about you! Oh noooooo!! I don't care about you! Fuck you! I don't care about you! Hey! Hey! I don't care about you! |

Life's like a mayonnaise soda and life's like space without room And life's like bacon and ice cream that's what life's like without you Life's like forever becoming but life's forever dealing in hurt Now life's like death without living that's what life's like without you Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony I see you in my mind's eye strangling on your tongue What's good is knowing such devotion I've been around - I know what makes things run What good is seeing eye chocolate what good's a computerized nose And what good was cancer in April why no good - no good at all What good's a war without killing what good is rain that falls up What good's a disease that won't hurt you why no good, I guess, no good at all What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking It must be better not to be thinking at all A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete no not much, not much at all What's good is life without living what good's this lion that barks You loved a life others throw away nightly it's not fair, not fair at all What's good? oh, baby, what's good? What's good? what's good? not much at all Hey, baby, what's good? (what's good?) What's good? (what's good?) what's good? (what's good?) not much at all What's good? (what's good?) what's good? (life's good) Life's good (life's good) what's good? (life's good) but not fair at all |

I get a constant busy signal when I call you on the phone I get a strong uneasy feeling you're not sitting there alone I'm having nasty nasty visions and baby you're in every one, yeah and I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with a still hot and smokin gun Maybe you want to end it, you've had your fill of my kind of fun but you don't know how to tell me and you know that I'm not that dumb I put 2 and 1 together and you know that's not an easy sum and I know just where to find you with a still hot and smokin gun instrumental bridge I'm standing here bewildered, I can't remember just what I've done I can hear the sirens whining, my eyes blinded by the sun I know that I should be running, my heart's beating just like a drum now they've knocked me down and takin it, a still hot and smokin gun yeah still hot and smokin gun yes they've taken it still hot and smokin gun oh they've taken it still hot and smokin gun knocked me down, taken it |

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown This is your hometown This is your hometown This is your hometown In `65 tension was running high at my high school There was a lot of fights between the black and white There was nothing you could do Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun Words were passed in a shotgun blast Troubled times had come to my hometown My hometown My hometown My hometown Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out Packing up our bags maybe heading south I'm thirty-five we got a boy of our own now Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around This is your hometown |
