Home in the Suburbs 02:41

Home in the Suburbs Darling look at the flowers Just thirty more years And all of this will be ours I drink every night just to deaden the pain My boss and my job are drivin' me insane It's a pain in the ass, I quit my job every week They're so hard to find, they're ever harder to keep Home in the Suburbs That's where I wanna raise my kids And I don't care if they wanna live there That's just the way that it is Gather up the family We've paid our debt to society Start the celebration But are we happy yet Run away from all our problems I'm so happy we've finally arrived We've got nothin' to do now Until we die, until we die Worked so hard to build our future You spent so much time, all alone But now we'll spend so much time together When the kids put us away in a retirement home Home in the Suburbs Darling look at the flowers Just thirty more years And all of this will be ours

Boys Don't Lie 04:36
lyrics

I can still recall All the cold showers I've taken And all the times I've been mistaken When I must have gotten her signals wrong I just wish she could be in my shoes Then she'd know what I'm going through Who knows? Maybe she already does But she won't show it, and I can't hide it She won't show it and I can't hide it Boys Don't Lie How could they? Why would they? Boys Don't Lie I can still recall, I can still recall I can still recall All the cold shoulders I've gotten And all the times that turned out rotten When I must have gotten her signals wrong I just wish she could be in my shoes Then she'd know what I'm going through Who knows? Maybe she already does But she won't show it, and I can't hide it She won't show it and I can't hide it Boys Don't Lie How could they? Why would they? Boys Don't Lie Boys Don't Lie

History Near Repeats 03:37
lyrics

Parking lot nights locked in lover's embrace Seem so long ago, doesn't matter now The “I do's “and “You do's” with both of us lying Seemed so simple then, so confusing now Our love is history Why doesn't history repeat? Old pictures gather dust in a pile on the floor Seems like yesterday, brings back memories now The “Your fault” and “My fault” with both of us crying Seems so pointless now, so important then Our love is history Why doesn't history repeat? Now we can't look each other in the eye And there is no reason why We see each other on the street Are we really trying not to meet? Parking lot nights locked in lover's embrace Seem so long ago, doesn't matter now The “I do's “and “You do's” with both of us lying Seemed so simple then, so confusing now Our love is history Why doesn't history repeat?

The Girl With Something Extra 02:46
lyrics

You take her home cause you wanna be alone You kiss her hand hope she'll understand You go the back way where your mom can't be It's really dark you can hardly see The Girl with Something Extra Are you surprised? Yeah! You take her out just to twist and shout She wants to leave, something's up her sleeve You bring her back, hope you don't get caught And windows fog, hope it works this time The Girl with Something Extra Are you surprised? Yeah! Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely……… You've got her home and you're all alone Hope you're not wrong and you come on strong Everything's cool like it fit the plan She's looking at you – wants to be your man A little more than you bargained for Girl with Something Extra Are you surprised? Yeah!

Don't You Listen? 04:22
lyrics

Did you hear a single word I just said? Do I have to repeat myself a million times You never hear me when I say That you remember everything you ever read And every thing that's on T.V. And all the things you did today But never a word I ever say Don't you listen? Why don't you listen? Won't you give me a reason why I should stay? Do I have to repeat myself a trillion times? You never hear me when I say That you remember everything you ever read And every thing that's on T.V. And all the things you did today But never a word I ever say Don't you listen? Why don't you listen? Why can't you get it through your head? I'd be much better off, shutting up instead Did you hear a single word I just said? Do I have to repeat myself a billion times You never hear me when I say That you remember everything you ever read And every thing that's on T.V. And all the things you did today But never a word I ever say Don't you listen? Why don't you listen?

I remember the last time I saw you We were standing in the rain I remember some things that you told me Things I didn't want you to explain Why you've got to go If you're coming back Why you've got to go Please save it For somebody else Please save it I don't want to know Please save it For somebody else Please save it I don't want to know Days and hours go swiftly past us Days and hours roll along Time is always there to catch us Time is always there to prove us wrong Why you've got to go If you're coming back Why you've got to go Please save it For somebody else Please save it I don't want to know Please save it For somebody else Please save it I don't want to know Time goes by so slowly Now that you're not here Time goes by so slow Why you've got to go If you're coming back Why you've got to go

It's such a joy now that I've lost my job I'm so carefree Now that it's happened to me I'm really looking forward to living my life of.. LUXURY! Everybody's looking for a little ray of hope The next step up the ladder Always bent over Or taking it on the chin You've got to realize It just don't matter All my friends are joining me now We're never bored now Cause we've got lots to do I'm really looking forward to living my life of.. LUXURY!

When you were young it seemed so easy When you were young you felt so free I've got money now…and nothing else matters to me And all the girls that had nothing to say Marry the first guy that gives them the time of day They've got money now Be good to your T.V. set It's the only friend you've got Wake up and go to bed Drowning in the big Thanks a lot But we don't need you Here's your gold watch, pink slip, there's the door And all the family he thought cared Talk about him like he isn't there And all the girls that had nothing to say Marry the first guy that gives them the time of day They've got money now Put away your pride You won't need it anymore Wake up and go to bed Drowning in the big swim When you were young it seemed so easy When you were young you felt so free I've got money now…and nothing else matters to me And all the girls that had nothing to say Marry the first guy that gives them the time of day They've got money now Be good to your T.V. set It's the only friend you've got Wake up and go to bed Drowning in the big swim

Too Close To Us 02:12
lyrics
buy track
Brand new neighbors Already asking for favors And they're getting braver Than last month's bunch The kids always crying I have trouble finding A parking space Why'd they move next to us? Much too close to us Hanging their laundry line right on our fence Much too close to us We'd move out now if we had any sense Wild parties…just listen! Our patio furniture's missing I can't bear to look… now what did we lose? If you can't join ‘em beat ‘em Where's a cop when you need ‘em? Be easier finding Hoffa or Hughes Much too close to us Instead of being naïve we should be facing the facts Much too close to us Instead of laying down sod we should be laying down tracks Brand new cars, they've got brand new clothes And Tupperware parties just to look down their nose No more welcome wagon ‘cause this time it's war The good neighbor policy just went right out the door Then you pick up the pieces Much too close to us Hanging their laundry line right on our fence Much too close to us We'd move out now if we had any sense

Only Fools Fall In Love 02:59
lyrics

You can't put love in a calculator Can't put it in a incubator Look for it a minute later.. It's gone, long gone And what's all the fuss about? And who really cares? It's just hormonal activity Not objectivity All you suckers don't know what you're doing Stars in your eyes, head in the clouds, walking on air All you suckers don't know what you're doing Stars in your eyes, head in the clouds, walking on air People give you what they want you to have But rarely do they ever give you what you need Sometimes I'm the man in the middle Sometimes on the outside looking in And what's all the fuss about? And who really cares? It's just hormonal activity Not objectivity All you suckers don't know what you're doing Stars in your eyes, head in the clouds, walking on air All you suckers don't know what you're doing Stars in your eyes, head in the clouds, walking on air You can't put love in a calculator Can't put it in a incubator Look for it a minute later.. It's gone, long gone

Vanity Affair 02:18
lyrics
buy track
I don't need any singles bars I don't need to buy a fancy car My fingers never need to touch a phone ‘Cause I can have fun all on my own Mirror, mirror on the wall I don't need anybody at all Mirror, mirror can't you see? I think I'm in love with me I never have to leave the room Or dance around with a stupid broom Why bother asking for a date? Why settle for something that’s second-rate? Mirror, mirror on the wall I don't need anybody at all Mirror, mirror can't you see? I think I'm in love with me Don't bother me now anymore Cause when I'm with you girl it's just a bore I think of fun that might have been If only I had been born a twin (Identical twin that is) Mirror, mirror on the wall I don't need anybody at all Mirror, mirror can't you see? I think I'm in love with me
