Sing Along
03:15

Looking for another 15 minutes of fame
I've got myself to blame more than anybody else
Looking for someone, who just wants to have some fun
Not that anyone really gives a shit
Good vibrations are coming on back to me
Teen sensations get out of my way, oh no...
It took me so long, to write another silly love song
How many years gone? I want you all to sing along
Booked another show, we've got a long way to go
We can only hope that nothing else will go wrong
Looking for some love, I need somebody to shove
That's just the way we are when people don't sing along
Good vibrations are coming on back to me
Teen sensation get out of my way, oh no...
It took me so long, to write another silly love song
Tears will be all gone, once you all sing along
We want you all to sing along

Smile
03:12
|

|
You put a smile right on my face
When I heard your song
Your future is so bright, I can't see
Where it all went wrong
Well you made me smile for a while
Then you put me down
Your medication really turned you upside down
Well you made me smile for a while
Your reputation's going to drive you out of town
I think it's so nice when I see
Someone who's so on
But I can't tell you to your face
Not Until you're gone
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Repeat first verse)

Sick Thing
02:16
|
|||
|
I see you play a little six string
And you've got to make it rock
You've got to be the best at everything
And you've got to be on top
(Chorus)
Hold on...
You had me backed against the wall the first time
Hold on
You know you really are a rich thing
And you've got to spend it all
You've got to take a bite of everything
And your home is at the Mall
(Chorus)
(Solo)
You know you really are a Sick Thing
And you've got to take it off
You've got to take a piece of everything
And you've got to be on top

Gonna take your mind, gonna take your soul
Won't let you down easy, won't let you go
Gonna take your heart, gonna test your faith

(Chorus)
Your mind can't explain
It's no illusion
Your mind can't explain
The New Confusion yeah!
Try and catch your breath, can't catch a break
It's coming to get you, make no mistake
Gonna take your mind, gonna take your soul
Won't let you down easy, won't let you go

I need a vacation, I need a holiday
Get me outta here, come take me away

Vera, how are you dear?
Things just aren't the same without you here
Clara, I want you to know
If you move my direction, you know we can take it slow
(Chorus)
It's been four years, since you've been gone
If you write me the words, I'll sing you a song
Cara, how I miss you so
The pain was so intense when I let you go
Sara, it's time to go
If you move my direction, you know we can take it slow
(Chorus)

Helga, I want you to know
If you move my direction...

Panic attack you're never coming back
Don't turn around cuz you don't want that
Cops and police are coming for you
What in the hell are they supposed to do with you?
It's true
You're never gonna beat them
With you, it's true
You're never gonna see them
Run for your life as fast as you can
They'll never catch me, well that's the plan
Reach for the sky is what they said
Better listen boy, or you'll end up dead
It's true for you
You're never gonna beat them
With you, it's true
It's a Panic Attack!
(Solo)
(Repeat first verse)

Why?
03:05
|
|||
|
There's something you should know
If I don't tell you, you may never go
You've got to understand
Things don't always go the way they're planned...awe man!
You don't ever think we'll find
All those skeletons you hide
Your life is all just one big lie
We won't ever find out why
You lie
Things better left unsaid
Better watch out, you may end up dead
Pure hypocrisy and shame
Don't try so hard there's no one left to blame
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)

She Smiles
03:38
|
|||
|
You bring me lots of trouble
Cuz you're pretty on the outside
You've got me seeing double
Sunshine...everybody's singing
Your crazy looks won't shake me
You're not pretty on the inside
I don't like those rules you're breaking
Sunshine...everybody feels alright!
She smiles all the time
Just like you never would
She's working overtime
Just trying to be good
(repeat first verse)
Pushin' and shovin'
kissin' and hugging me
That's just the way it goes
So set me free (x2)
So free...
(Solo)
(Chorus outro)

The Hill
03:12
|
|||
|
Change is coming, it don't look good
Let's gentrify the old neighborhood
I can't eat, I can't pay rent
So, what now? I need to vent
Forget about Revolution
We haven't got a thing to say
There is no real solution
We're moving away
Is this the way you truly feel?
If so, no big deal
It's all part of the life on The Hill
It makes you sick, it makes me ill
(Chorus)
I gotta get away!
Come take me
Don't break
Come take me
I gotta get away! (x3)
(Outro solo)
