WHAT CAN I DO

If you give me some time I'll come back to you, Julia
Turn off my mind, shut you out, doesn't matter what I do
What about you?
I would give up my thoughts for the life [?], Julia
Lose all my friends and myself just to get [?] you
What can I do?

And maybe I know you're all mixed up (ooo)
And maybe I need something less sane while I'm drowning

If you give me the word I would kill my own brother
If you give me a sign or a line, I'll do anything for you
What can I do?

And maybe I know you're all mixed up (maybe I know you're all)
And maybe I need something less sane while I'm drowning

[?]
All inside of you
What can I do?
[?]
All inside of you
What can I do?

And maybe I know you're all mixed up (maybe I know you're all)
And maybe I need something less sane while I'm drowning

If you give me some time I'll come back to you, Julia
Turn off my mind, shut you out, doesn't matter what I do
What can I do?

Julia, Julia, Julia

BOBBY'S ALIBI

Bobby takes and gets his alibi right
Understanding does a thing
She don't know what he is doing tonight
Get back, so long, get back

Maybe he was just the first in her ear ([?])
Understanding make you feel
She don't know what he is doing tonight
Get back, so long, get back
Get back, so long, get back

Maybe he will see you tonight
It's crazy and it is true
So long... so long

Bobby takes and gets his alibi right (sing me a song)
Understanding does a thing
She don't know what he is doing tonight
Get back, so long, get back
Get back, so long, get back

Maybe he will see you tonight
It's crazy and it is true
So long... so long

Oo-oo-ooh

Maybe he will see you tonight
It's crazy and it is true
So long... so long

Get back, so long, get back
Get back, so long, get back
Get back... so long

MORNING I WAKE

Morning I wake at the thought of it all
And by noon I can say doesn't matter
But in spite of my faith in my cool rationale
All the hope I create quickly shatters

'Cause blessèd is hope
Though it turns on you, 'cause it clings to an illusion
And cursèd is true
Every world's no fun, it paints life merely as a delusion

In spite of the sadness, the anger I feel
The things I wish I never told you
I can never regret that I went through the mess
Though I live in the fear that we're not through

Break through the hope
'Cause hope leads you on and it hides in an illusion
Hold on to truth
'Cause the truth might be an expression of a delusion

Ooh, the things that were changed
Every time I see you, I can't get through
But see it your way
Isn't really healthy and d'you know why?

It's time to move on, time to bring back myself
And I knew she would leave if I let her
Now, this time far away just made me (?)
But it doesn't make things any better

Just get away
'Cause I hate this town, maybe that is my solution
And I'll come back to you
'Cause you stir things up and I guess I just like the confusion

JENNIFER SMILES

(Jennifer)

See Jennifer smile
When she looks in your eyes
Everything seems okay

She makes (makes me feel)
Something inside (-side the sky)
Under her summer blue
Warm in the yellow sun

Oh and Jennifer understands
Makes everything seem so clear

See, see how she laughs
At the most strangest times
Watching the clouds roll by (oo-oh)

She walks (walks away)
Looks to the west (western sky)
Maybe the moon she seeks
Lies just beyond the sun (oo-oh)

Oh no and she understands
Makes everything seem so clear
She can't see

Laughing, the world spins round and round and round
And Jennifer shakes the earth and brings me down (brings me down)
Walking a million [?]
For Jennifer, and she'll never ever know

Free from all the school ([?])
Lost in a child's world
Watching the colours change (oo-oh)

In her (her backyard)
Lonely (?) (changes you)
?
Under the summer light (oo-oh)

Oh no and she understands
Makes everything seem so clear
She can't see

Laughing, the world spins round and round and round
And Jennifer shakes the earth and brings you down
Walking a million [?]
For Jennifer, and she'll never ever know

See Jennifer smile
When she looks in your eyes
Everything seems okay

("Well, fear is also sort of... a lot of people you find when you write down... you just want a little bit of fear. Hm. I mean, it's sort of like sex. You have a round (?), why don't you tell us about Jukle's Field? I think the colours in that are all very old, more greys and whites more than the greens and yellows, except for America. It's like the British are going back to the Americans' New York scene, Humphrey Bogart, you know, back in the early, and the Americans are going to colourful punk years. Very violent years, and turning colours on their t-shirt. Like violence, like red is considered violent.")

I'M SORRY

I cannot hear you, had to leave you, get away now
You suck the life out of a big dream, all the answers
I'm coasting out of conversation, never feel you
To see the free work of a person, nothing left now

And I tell you I'm sorry (oo-ooh)
And I tell you I'm sorry (oo-ooh)
And I tell you I'm sorry you're not someone else (oo-ooh)

Piece things together, tired of lying to the story
? white-out, too much feeling for the prom queen (oo-ooh)

And I tell you I'm sorry (oo-ooh)
And I tell you I'm sorry (oo-ooh)
And I tell you I'm sorry you're not someone else (oo-ooh)

And I tell you I'm sorry (oo-ooh)
Tell you I'm sorry (oo-ooh)
And I tell you I'm sorry you're not someone else (oo-ooh)

And I tell you I'm sorry (oo-ooh)
And I tell you I'm sorry (oo-ooh)
And I tell you I'm sorry you're not someone else (oo-ooh)

("Isn't there lots of stars up there? I think it's okay, though. I think it's shining.")

GHOST TOWN SUNDAY

Eternal opening eyes up
Insanity knows just how a child can get lost
In a world that I once felt close to which was near

She brings me back to a place
Where I once knew a ?
Is full of loneliness (lies?) as she walks through a ?
?

Turns my mind to losing all that she was
Everything is closing, ghost town Sunday
Come back in May
Oo-oo-ooh

A minute feels like a thousand years to a boy
Who once gave all that he could
To the one who can turn away
Or make ?

Turns my mind to losing all that she was (turns my mind to losing)
Everything is closing, ghost town Sunday (everything is closing)
Come back in May
Oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh

Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Oo-oo-ooh

Turns my mind to losing all that she was (turns my mind to losing)
Everything is closing, ghost town Sunday (everything is closing)
Turns my mind to losing all that she was (turns my mind to losing)
Everything is closing, ghost town Sunday (everything is closing)
Come see we're (closing?)
We're (closing?)
We're (closing?)
We're (closing?)
We're (closing?)

AFTERSCHOOL SPECIAL

When I met you
You were standing
You were hanging in the mall
You were walking 'round
And looking down
Stepping on us all

Well, I knew that life had started
Knew each day kept getting better
Now I only wanted you
That is just what I set out to do

Or just ?
Still I thought I had a chance
'Til he smiled at you, ? you
And asked you to the dance

Well, to think I thought I'd win you
With a folk song or a poem
You've outgrown it all, oh, you
Now he has her, that I can't allow
Now I know exactly what to do

When I met you
You were standing
You were hanging in the mall
You were walking 'round
And looking down
Stepping on us all

Too bad Troy lost his glasses
When the wheels went off the hinges
Guess my poems work good now
Poems work when one is in despair
Guilty works but someone has to care
Now I know exactly what to do

("This car is a... eight point one nine seconds. That's the last one...")

DAYS AND DAYS

And you feel like your role in life is to stand around and accept your fate
While he screamed and stood over you, you shrugged what to do, and just took it all

'Cause now you see that you do not need him
Hope is gained when you know the truth:
That no-one holds you down
And he won't change his ways
And you're hanging on for days and days

Take the road and just drive away from the one who will always turn on you
Let the radio guide you through all the towns and the sounds of your memory

'Cause now you see that you do not need him
Hope is gained when you know the truth:
That no-one holds you down
And he won't change his ways
And you're hanging on for days and days

And you don't believe him
When they tell you the truth:

That no-one holds you down
And he won't change his ways
And you're hanging on for days and days

And you feel like your role in life is to stand around and accept your fate
While he screamed and stood over you, you shrugged what to do, and just took it all

'Cause now you see that you do not need him
Hope is gained when you know the truth:
That no-one holds you down
And he won't change his ways
And you're hanging on for days and days

THAT TAKES TIME

How long can I play out this game?
Leave no doubt in your mind, I'll stay
Talk a lot, feed on you
But never get through
When will you believe in me?

That takes time
That takes time
Blow your mind
Blow your mind

Shine, turn on an ideal
And feed the unreal
When will you belive in me?

That takes time
That takes time
All the lies
All the lies

'Cause I need you now
I'll do what I must do
Blow your mind up with lies from me to you

Look, dead eyes look at you
No clues for the girl
So weak it's not fair

That takes time
That takes time
All the lies
All the lies

'Cause I need you now
I'll do what I must do
Blow your mind up with lies from me to you

That takes time
Always good enough for you
Screw your mind up with lies

("Entry nine. My hands are so numb. I can hardly operate this recorder, but I have to. Is it working? It appears to be.")

WHEN THE DAY IS THROUGH

Talk aloud, just talk, that's all
Scream inside my mind
It's all I want to do
When the day is through

A smile that stands but slowly fall
Collide and crash the truth
I want to see just you
When the day is through

Collide and crash the truth
When the day is through
I want to go with you
When the day is through

JULES MAXI

?

FREE OF IT ALL

Lost in a thought that won't leave me
The thought is the one that I'm seeing
Walking away with my real world drowning the anger

Smiles from a face that is friendly
Eyes of a girl who can see you
Blinded by all that is real, she's understanding

She's all that one needs
To escape and be sure
To be free of the clouds
And find safety

But my world won't slow down
'Til she's finally, really... (found)

Maybe my world is a rich ?
Shakes me when I feel she's hiding
She's under the water and ocean, stretching for miles

Seeing is never believing
Play me for one of those ?
Flooding my mind with her answers, I cannot hear you
Can't hear you

She's all that one needs
To escape and be sure
To be free of the clouds
And find safety

But my world won't slow down
'Til she's finally, really found

To escape and be sure
To be free of the clouds
To be free of it all
To be free
To be free
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)
To be free (don't worry, Sally)

LOOK WHAT JIMMY DID

Another day
The big blue boys are at the parties they hold
For Kathy ?
It's all for the team, it's all for the team

But something's kind of off
Lights go out so fast
God, look what Jimmy's done
Breaking 'em in the only way he knows how

Doesn't mind ?
Harry makes moves, he's pulling the moves
Shine more like a light
Feel her up slow, ?

Something's kind of off
Lights go out so fast
God, look what Jimmy's done
Breaking 'em in the only way he knows how

-

?
Still unsure
?
?

Spring ?
A ?
Can ?
? love ?

?
?

-

Looking back now, no, no
Left without the world I've never known
? feel so insecure
Silence screams when I ?

Somehow I lost ? the track
To keep you with him ? true
Know that I'm crazy ?
Baby ? love, I know ? true

Leaving home
Won't be apart so long
?
