Get it Right!

Girl you know how to make an entrance
Every eye turns to you
Please excuse me and my underdressed-ness
I thought you'd come casual too
It's been a while since we've been to a party
"What's that guy's name again?"
"Who me? It's just little, old Marty
I'm not Pete, or Sylvie, or Ben"
Get it Right if just for tonight
Make me feel like we're old friends by now
Put on a show, let everyone know
I don't belong but I'm always allowed
You're across the room sipping your refreshment
When my eye catches you
Yeah, I'm with the boys. Can you feel my depression?
I'd rather be sipping you
The band is playing but I can't hear 'em
They're at a dog's frequency
Woah, my head it hurts and now its getting worse
I though I liked Indie
Get it Right if just for tonight
Make me feel like we're old friends by now
Put on a show, let everyone know
I don't belong but I'm always allowed
Girl you know how to make an exit
Not a soul noticed you
Go ahead now, take my jacket
And we'll walk in the light of the moon

You Get What You Pay For
02:42
|
|||
|
Don't you know you get what you pay for?
If you want good stuff, you have to pay more
If you close a window, you open a door
If you drink too much, you'll wake up on the floor
You used to say I was something special
Forgive me now, I'm getting sentimental
My insurance covers vision and dental
Thought you bought my heart, it was just a rental
Give me back the time I wasted on you
Commit your crimes, that's all you know how to do
An honest day's work really made you a jerk
I gave you my heart and I got screwed
You knocked me down but I picked myself up
Blame it all on beginner's luck
You though I cared, I didn't give a care
That's funny, I bet you thought I'd say "fuck"
Now I'm riding high, I'm back in the saddle
Go on, split. Go on, skedaddle!
Guess where you are? You're without a paddle
I know you're secrets and I'm going to tattle
Give me back the time I wasted on you
Commit your crimes, that's all you know how to do
An honest day's work really made you a jerk
I gave you my heart and I got screwed

Average Guy
02:44
|

|
Ever since I seen you wear that dress
I don't feel right, don't look my best
I want to know what it is you see
What do you see in me?
I'm just an average guy
I never aim too high
So don't expect great things
I don't know what the future brings
But it's good, if it's with you.
The past six months have been a blast
Our future's bright, we have no past
Living in the moment is fleeting when it's with you
I'm just an average guy
I never aim too high
So don't expect great things
I don't know what the future brings
But it's good, if it's with you.
You're all I ever fought for and all I've achieved
And to lose you know would tear my heart from my sleeve
So think back to September, can you remember the look in my eyes?
It's the same as now, under April skies
I'm just your average guy
With you I aimed high
Didn't expect great things
But you don't always know what the future brings
It's been good, because its been with you

Song for Finley
02:30
|

|
Just two minutes, that's how long it takes
Just two minutes, from heartbeats to heartbreak
Now, you're gently breathing
By your side I'll wait
For the sunrise that's never gonna come
One hundred twenty seconds, thats how fast you fell
One hundred twenty seconds and I can never break the spell
Give to me your shackles, I'll take on your hell
You're the sunshine but the rain has come
Lift your eyes in glory, I'll raise mine in pain
I've told you all the story, just the ending remains
How quickly life is taken, how slowly it is made
Two minutes broke my heart
You're the sunshine but the rain has come

Politics
02:44
|
|||
|
Girl stop twisting my words around
I spend too much time picking them off the ground
I want to share all my quirks and ticks
So stop treating me like politics
I can't be polled, I can't be predicted
One debate won't change my convictions
Stop looking for sound bytes and making your plugs
Their ain't no rules in the game of love
This ain't no place to put a sign
There's no bumper or lawn in this heart of mine
Can't go door-to-door and make your pitch
So stop treating me like politics
I can't be polled, I can't be predicted
One debate won't change my convictions
Stop looking for sound bytes and making your plugs
Their ain't no rules in the game of love
This ain't a campaign, I'm not looking for votes
Not on the ballot going coast-to-coast
I don't a write-in's really going to stick
So stop treating me like politics
I can't be polled, I can't be predicted
One debate won't change my convictions
Stop looking for sound bytes and making your plugs
Their ain't no rules in the game of love

You Let Me Down Again
02:26
|
|||
|
You went away, you promised to write
You never did but you were so contrite
When you said "Who writes letters anymore?"
You just turned around and walked out the door
Well you play me like a fiddle, you know how to strum my strings
They say that life is a riddle and you deal in mysterious things
I gave you so many chances, I offered you diamond rings
But you let me down again
Well you have to hit the bottom in order to see the top
When you can't fall any further, that's when you can stop.
I've operated under this logic and I'm no better off
I guess I've got a little more to fall
I remember the first time just like yesterday.
Were supposed to meet at three o'clock but you never came my way
I guess I'll never keep up with all the stupid games you play
You let me down again
Well it didn't work out like it's supposed to
Plain and simple, we're not together anymore
In this lake of yours, I'm just a ripple
Just a drop of rain among the storm
Well you play me like a fiddle, you know how to strum my strings
They say that life is a riddle and you deal in mysterious things
I gave you so many chances, I offered you diamond rings
But you let me down again

Wicked Hot
04:16
|

|
She's wicked hot, burns like a flame
She is wicked hot sends me home in shame
She's wicked hot, like a desert in the day
She is wicked hot, makes me pray for the rain
Tell you about a girl I've been seeing for a while
Makes me hot with a frown or a smile
She's tough stuff, a real renegade
Wearing short-shorts call the fire brigade
She's wicked hot, burns like a flame
She is wicked hot sends me home in shame
She's wicked hot, like a desert in the day
She is wicked hot, makes me pray for the rain
Its been a couple weeks, I don't know when I'll get relief
Doing rain dances like an Indian chief
Got me trapped in the desert of her love
Oh heaven send water from above
She's wicked hot, burns like a flame
She is wicked hot sends me home in shame
She's wicked hot, like a desert in the day
She is wicked hot, makes me pray for the rain
Then a storm came it took the fire from my life
I guess you can't have the sun as your wife
In years to come it keeps me warm to remember
the time I had a girl like an ember
She's wicked hot, burns like a flame
She is wicked hot sends me home in shame
She's wicked hot, like a desert in the day
She is wicked hot, makes me pray for the rain

Sideways Glances
02:33
|

It's five o'clock on a Monday
I'm sitting at the bar being grungy
When you walked in and you made me change my ways
It's been a couple years since I've seen you
We'd never let nothing come between us
Listen close, here's what I've got to say
Take my bear hugs and sideways glances
Let me pick you up, put you in trances
It's getting late, girl can I take you home?
No, I never felt nothing 'fore I knew you
But now I couldn't live If I's to lose you
Its getting late, girl can I take you home?
Do you remember that time at the wedding in the south?
When I punched dude, I hit him square in the mouth
I'd never let no one talk to you like that
Fast-forward three months and I'm flat on my back
The very same dude, same line of attack
I should have known better than to treat your brother like that
Take my bear hugs and sideways glances
Let me pick you up, put you in trances
It's getting late, girl can I take you home?
No, I never felt nothing 'fore I knew you
But now I couldn't live If I's to lose you
Its getting late, girl can I take you home?
Don't make me be alone
Girl can I take you home?

Golden State Girl
04:38
|

|
We're raisins in the sun
This California fun
Surfing and bumming, it's for me
Pacific Coast, its the land of the most
Let's trade the city for the sea
Riding down the highway, Lord it might be a freeway
It's the right way, it's with you
Sliding by the ocean, two hearts set in motion
One love, one life, be my Golden State Girl
Don't know much about California, I've never had too much sunshine
Don't know much about shucking corn or picking grapes from the vine
All I know is the wind and the rain
The cold and the pain of living day-by-day in this place
Let's get away
Riding down the highway, Lord it might be a freeway
It's the right way, it's with you
Sliding by the ocean, two hearts set in motion
One love, one life, be my Golden State Girl
Hipsters argue about the proposition
We are living in the Mission District, life is good
But despite the fog and sun, my restless heart was born to run away
Good night San Francisco, sweet dreams San Jose
Fare thee well my true lover
I am gone, gold you'll stay
Sit there by the ocean, watch the sun set on the bay
Don't think of me too often, let the tide wash me away
Riding down the highway, Lord it might be a freeway
It's the right way, it's with you
Sliding by the ocean, two hearts set in motion
One love, one life, be my Golden State Girl
Good night San Francisco, sweet dreams San Jose
Fare thee well my lover
I am gone, gold you'll stay
I am gone, gold you'll stay

Darling Don't You Cry
02:36
|
|||
|
All good things must come to an end
Some good things are Heaven sent
New chapters are hard to embrace
But you meet 'em with style and grace
I'm scared of being away from you
We've walked mile in well-worn shoes
How can you bee so far away?
Even just for a day
Darling don't you cry, its only passing time
Life won't pass you by, I'll be at your side
In spite of all the plans we made, life just didn't turn out that way
You had a chance in another place
I watched you go through the tears on my face.
Been on my own for a little while, life is cold without your smile
I could take a trip to see you but then I'd have to leave you
Darling don't you cry, its only passing time
Life won't pass you by, I'll be at your side
When I awoke, you were under my arm
The sun was out, I was unharmed
My nightmare faded to gray
I'll be with you always

That's Bullshit
01:54
|
|||
|
That's bullshit
I'm calling you out on that bullshit
I have no doubt that is bullshit
You're trying to pull one over on me
I was born at night but it wasn't last
I've seen a lot in my storied past
Jesus knows and He's taking notes on you
You're seedy, that suit's too nice
You're seedy, can't fool me twice
You're seedy, plant you and you're sure to grow (big and strong)
My date of birth, my height and weight
My mom's first cat, her maiden name
Jesus knows and He's taking notes on you
Deep in Momma's basement. behind a TV screen
He's casting his net, living the dream
Makes you so mad you just want to scream
He can't hear you (He can't hear you)
That's bullshit
I'm calling you out on that bullshit
I have no doubt that is bullshit
You're trying to pull one over on me
I was born at night but it wasn't last
I've seen a lot in my storied past
Jesus knows and He's taking notes on you
What you do?

You and My Heart
04:55
|

|
When I can't go on, I think of you
When the day is long, I think of you
You and my heart
You and my heart, together are one
Yes, my heart belongs to you
You and my heart (You and my heart)
When I have to wake before the sun, I think of you
When I settle down to write a song, You and my heart
You and my heart, together are one
Yes, my heart belongs to you
You and my heart (You and my heart)
When I reach the end of my days, I'll be with you
Passing through Heaven's gates, you and my heart
You and my heart, together are one
Yes, my heart belongs to you
You and my heart (One, two, three, four!)
You and my heart, together are one
Yes, my heart belongs to you
You and my heart
