1. THE GREAT BIG NO

Lover don't turn your head.
Just let me walk away.
I thought I might have to say,
You're asking the wrong guy.

She wonders how.
Thinks she knows now.
She'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. great big no.
Great big no. great big no.

Is nothing okay with you.
Is nothing okay with me.
Is anything happening to have to go to sea.
He wonders why. the indigo guy,
He'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. great big no.
Great big no. great big no.

Everyone knows everything
Everyone knows everything
Nobody, nobody has got no one to go to.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.

Whoah (lover don't turn your head.)
Lover don't turn your head.
No. (lover don't turn your head.)
Is nothing okay with you?


2. INTO YOUR ARMS

I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm from the crowd
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
And if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone anymore

I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm from the crowd
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
So if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone anymore

I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
I can go...


3. IT’S ABOUT TIME

Bite my tongue
And I won't say a word against anyone
But I don't wanna get my fingers wet
Unless it's an accident

Fell out on the street
Now I'm watching my shoes and I grit my teeth
But I don't have to look that way
If I had half a say

It's about time
It's about time
Lick my lips
And I won't hear the end of this

On your knees a reassurance
Buy some time and come back for it

Before long
Before it's gone

Patience is like bread I say
I ran out of that yesterday

It's about time
It's about time

Enough about us
Let's talk about me
If not about you
It's not about sunshine

It's about time
It's about time
Touch my leg
It's smooth but there stubble there

I'll fall back and let'em go
Only when I know you know

I don't know
Make me sure

Have your people contact mine
And keep your lawyer on the line

It's about time (x4)


4. DOWN ABOUT IT

Gotta own up on my own somehow
Toss the beginning and try to live it down
'n work my way out
I been so down about it

It gets the same every time I shy
Away from the blame and I stand my time
You can understand why
I been so down about it

She's gonna give me all the time I need
To finish it
And if I can't I'll sleep
Over

And out like a light when it's not plugged in
Fading around if it starts again
You just don't get it when
I get so down about it

I drop you a hint so I hope you don't catch
You fumble your keys and I throw the latch
You'll still worried that
I been so down about it

Bridge:
Out of it so I'd hope she'd be there
Talk to her as I climb the stairs
I told her

Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow


5. PAID TO SMILE

Could you see your way clear?
And arrange your eyes away from mine
Sorry, I'm here
But you get paid, get paid to lie
You get paid to smile

Would you really say, hello?
And let me carry my own guitar
And please don't hold the door
I can work the handle on any car
It's really not that hard

Smile, paid to smile
Smile, paid to smile
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oohOoh, ooh

The cigarette girl took off her tray
And dropped her dress in a shiny pile
Pulled her pants up on her way
When she gets home, she'll laugh a while
She gets paid to smile

Smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile


6. BIG GAY HEART

Take a look into some big grey eyes and ask yourself
You wanna make 'em cry?
Lookin' out of them it's just as well
But you're gonna live to see I'm gonna ask you why

Either way you got a bone to pick, can't you leave that to somebody else?
I don't need you to suck my dick or to help me feel good about myself

Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Do you have to try to piss me off 'cause I'm easy to please?
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Yeah while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene

If you can find a way to add it up,
It might be hard but it might be enough
I'd be grateful, I'd be satisfied,
And you might find in time it wouldn't feel so bad
After all it doesn't take that much and it would mean the song to me
For you to lose the part that's still afraid and not prepared to see

My big gay heart
In the dark, my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Do you have to try to piss me off just 'cause I'm easy to please?
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Yeah while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene

Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
My big gay heart
In the dark, big gay heart
My big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

8. REST ASSURED

One of the reasons I came all this way
Two opposite seasons I had to hear you say
You were gone hang around a while
I notice my old postcard in a pile

One, two, three, four

Verse
Pepper, salt, sugar, and tarragon, we're hanging by the pool,
Mortar bricks and aluminium
Step one, figure two

I know it's probably not my place,
Watch the water drain a different way

One two
One two three

If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
If I could you know I'd try to

Pop it to lock it, come on lets map it out
It's not what you do with me it's what you do without
Pop it to lock it, come on lets map it out

If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Ask the other half it I might
Rest assured


9. DAWN CAN’T DECIDE

Dawn can't decide
If there should be more of the porch,
She's sick of being inside.
He read the signs

And now they're making out in Lancaster
Just to pass the time. Woo!

Curtis called.
Left a message in japenese.
Dawn took the call.
Reviewed the newest tang! Release
Joe shudda known that the long island
Lolita would be the cause.

Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today.
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today.

And you strike, strike the right chord,
Right chord, the right chord in me.
Strike the right chord.

Bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah
No paperwork.
No paperwork.
Bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah


Bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah
Dawn can't decide.
Dawn can't decide.


10. I’LL DO IT ANYWAY

Bless my soul maybe I should leave it alone
I'm sure it could be safer to stay at home

You've made your point
It's pointless and it's all gonna burn

I'm in no state to skate but I'm gonna take my turn

I know you may never really understand
Why go through these motions with my hands
It's a gesture at best
But my body's in the right place
To fall in your arms now and wait to save face

I'll do it anyway
No matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
But I got a hunch
And I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
Shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand
It just ain't planned
It's still a beautiful world

American men you know them
They just gotta be right
When it's left to me
Often times I'd rather not fight

They make a big deal out of everything
And they got too many guns
And just to make 'em mad
I'm gonna do it for fun

I'll do it anyway
No matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
But I got a hunch
And I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
Shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand
It just ain't planned
It's still a beautiful world

I'll do it anyway
No matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
But I got a hunch
And I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
Over the barren plains
I'm still a girl
And it's just a horse
And I got the reins


11. RICK JAMES STYLE

Don’t wanna get stoned
Don’t wanna get stoned
But I don’t wanna not get stoned
I don’t wanna not get stoned

Don’t wanna get high
I don’t wanna get high
But I don’t wanna not get high
And I don’t wanna not get stoned

Wanna knock things down
I’m not gonna knock things down
But I don’t wanna not get stoned
So I’m not gonna not knock things down

Don’t wanna think twice
I don’t have to think twice
But I’m not gonna get high
I I’m not gonna get stoned

Style

Not gonna come round
I don’t wanna come down
I just want a killer line

But I don’t wanna not get stoned
I don’t wanna not get stoned

12. BEING AROUND

If I was in the fridge, would you open the door?
If I was the grass, would you mow your lawn?
If I was your body, would you still wear clothes?
If I was a booger, would you blow your nose?
Would you keep it? Would you eat it?
I'm just tryin to give myself a reason, for being around.

If I was the front porch swing would you let me hang?
If I was the dance floor would you shake your thing?
If I was a rubber check would you let me bounce
Up and down inside your bank account?
Would ya trust me, not to break you?
I'm just tryin really hard to make you,
notice me being around.

If I was a haircut would you wear a hat?
If I was a maid, could I clean your flat?
If I was the carpet would ya wipe your feet,
In time to save me from mud off the street?
If you like me, if you love me,
why don't you get down on your knees
and scrub me?
I'm a little grubby
From being around.


13. FAVORITE T

I thought we had an understanding there
That wouldn't leave too soon
Figure it over and you'll find out where
Your green shirt's gone

Had to hear about your danish boyfriend
I forced a swoon
So I went over to your dresser drawer
And now I got it on

I got it on
Your favourite tee
It never looked as good on you
As it looks on me

I got it on
I'll wait and see
I used to wear it every day
And now it's twice a week

Fill in the shadows of a certain corner
You used to sit there
Got me a brand new lamp, plugged it in
And now the dark don't fit there

Ain't got the time or the inclination
To see this through
I'm lookin up, climbing out of the station
And the sky's too blue

The sky's too blue
The sky's too blue
It mightn't suit me quite as well
As it used to

I got it on
Your favourite tee
I used to wear it every day...


14. YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU

Found a place, nothing's ever there
I made a little space big enough to pitch a tent
A hideaway I hadn't ever gone
'Till I whacked my way under the overgrowth

I found a place, I found a place
I found a place, I whacked away

And looking back to discover my tracks
Dirty hands and light through the branches
I found myself a breathing place, got room to stand up straight
And if I wanna lay around I can

Find way to pass the time, flat down or on my side
And in a while I close my eyes
You can, you can

Come on

You can be too rich and you can be too thin
And you can take it with you wherever you go
You must talk to strangers when you visit a new park
You might ask the park ranger where you should park
You can be too rich and you can be too thin
And you can take it with you the things that you learn
