Bullseye Girl
01:35
|
|||
|
She's kinda clumsy, so she wears a crash helmet.
She anticipates the inevitable fall,
and she's so numb from all the previous disasters
it's a wonder she feels anything at all.
And I can understand why empty promises
would make her put her finger in her throat to hurl.
She is a target for the irritating jerks
It isn't easy for a Bullseye Girl.
The wolves are out tonight,
Attacking without reason.
Bo Peep has lost her sheep,
but now she's packing heat
and shooting like it's open season!
Tonight the clubs are finding out firsthand what happens
when you push this nice young lady to the edge.
She's finding every man who ever took advantage
and then casually disintegrating heads.
The boys that played the games with hearts are quickly learning
that they never should've tried to play with her.
They didn't realize that life could be the price
just for messing with the Bullseye Girl.
The wolves are out tonight,
attacking without reason.
Bo Peep has lost her sheep,
but now she's packing heat
and shooting like it's open season!

Glutton

I say too much more often than I
know when to shut up. They tell me that it's
good that I can see these things
for what they are.
It's not as hard to change it.
What has got a hold on me?
What stops me from breaking free?
I have an addictive personality.
Don't punish me. I guarantee that
I'll be much more harsh when I keep thinking
all about the lines I've crossed.
I went too far and it's not hard to see it.
What has got a hold on me?
What stops me from breaking free?
I have an addictive personality.
In retrospect I see where I went wrong,
but it's too late to correct it.
I say I'll learn from this, but I know better.
I'm sure I'll screw up again.
I say too much more often than I
know when to give up. They tell me that it's
good to be persistent when I know it's not,
but I can't stop. I'm sorry.
What has got a hold on me?
What stops me from breaking free?
I have an addictive personality.

OK Cupid
02:47
|
|||
|
I guess it all makes sense,
but arrows are still weapons, so I remain unconvinced
and it could hurt to try...
Please watch where you're pointing that
'cause I don't want to die!
I'll brace myself 'cause I don't know
how I'm gonna find her if I haven't got your help!
OK Cupid, take your aim even if the arrow's sharp.
In the end it's worth the pain of target practice on my heart.
Love can start.
I'm sure it's not as fun
picking people off as they stand still when they should run.
So, we could pretend, and I'll just sprint until I'm out of breath.
Just tell me when...
I'll brace myself 'cause I don't know
how I'm gonna find her if I haven't got your help!
OK Cupid, take your aim even if the arrow's sharp.
In the end it's worth the pain of target practice on my heart.
Love can start.
I will humor you, fill out this questionnaire.
I hardly think it makes a difference.
At this point I do not care
because by now I've got to wonder if she's out there anywhere.
So, that's how we met.
We both placed our hearts out on the table as a bet.
So, love of my life,
I will be your husband if you'd like to be my wife.
You are the best. I've gotta know
how you're gonna answer, but I'm hoping you'll say yes!
OK Cupid, take your aim even if the arrow's sharp.
In the end it's worth the pain of target practice on my heart.
I'm done listening to my brain, 'cause sometimes it's not so smart.
Love can start.

Georgia's Hand
02:52
|
|||
|
If there's one thing Georgia taught me;
it would be that things don't go as planned.
As much as you may get to know her
you will never understand.
They say that girls like Georgia don't exist,
but they are always in demand
and that's why every man she's ever met
is in the palm of Georgia's hand.
It's not as 'though she has a choice.
She's like a magnet to the boys.
She doesn't understand that she's impressive.
'though the guys have all addressed it,
and she's so fed up with it that she could scream!
She could use a private landfill
to throw away the gifts the men have bought.
So, if you try to send her flowers then
you're only going to piss her off!
She's given up on true romance
and that's why I don't have a chance.
She doesn't understand that she's impressive.
'though the guys have all expressed it,
and she's so fed up with it that she could scream!
She could scream!
All the ones that seemed so different
only disappointed her with time.
Their approaches were unique,
but they only had the same thing on their mind.
If you try to be her man
she might just slap you with that hand!
She doesn't understand that she's impressive.
'though the guys have all addressed it,
and she's so fed up with it that she could scream!
She doesn't understand that she's impressive.
'though the guys have all expressed it,
and she's so fed up with it that she could scream!

Think It Over
02:42
|
|||
|
I'd get off of the couch for you
so you can sit and watch T.V.
If that's what you'd like, say no more.
It is yours, so relax and unwind.
Go to the end of the block for you.
I'll buy the bread, and eggs, and milk.
I should have the cash, so just ask.
I'll be back in a proverbial flash.
Now, I'm not one for impossible claims,
'cause I can't move mountains, that's not gonna change.
'though it would be fun to mess with makers of maps!
Pick up a phone and I'd talk to you,
and maybe do some listening.
I may not comprehend, but my friend I'll attempt it.
One hundred percent.
Now, I won't promise what you won't believe
'cause I can't swim oceans, I'm sure that I'd freeze.
Most of the time a pool's too much for me!
Yeah, I will never be the perfect guy,
but if I had the chance to try then I might be all right.
Think it over if you like.
Get in a car, and I'd drive for you
and try not to make you terrified.
'Cause my driving's not great,
but I can find the gas and the brake.
I don't have stories to leave you impressed,
'cause I'm not the worst and I am not the best,
but at least this way you'll know what to expect.
Ooh, yeah I will never be the perfect guy,
but if I had the chance to try then I might be all right.
Think it over if you like.
Baby, I will never be the perfect guy,
but if I had the chance to try then I might be all right.
Think it over if you like.
Now and then we might fight, it's unavoidable in life,
but I might be all right. Think it over if you like.

I Fell Flat
03:12
|
|||
|
I ran out of clever things to say.
I'm left with those tired old cliches.
At the end of the day it's all the same...
Out of touch, and I don't know how I feel.
Trying to re-invent the wheel.
I'm needing a jump start for my brain.
(What is wrong?)
I really don't have an answer for that question.
(What is gone?)
There's nothing missing, but I'm only guessing.
(Love is strong.)
And there's one thing that
I know to be an actual fact.
I fell flat, and love is what was bringing me back.
Now that I know what I lack,
I need another dose of you, stat!
Sometimes I feel like an empty shell
that isn't doing very well.
That didn't live up to all the hype.
Was this supposed to be my fate?
To be nothing special, nothing great.
It doesn't add up, it don't seem right.
(What is wrong?)
I really don't have an answer for that question.
(What is gone?)
There's nothing missing, but I'm only guessing.
(Love is strong.)
And there's one thing that I know to be an actual fact.
I fell flat, and love is what was bringing me back.
Now that I know what I lack,
I need another dose of you, stat!
I'm not where I thought I'd be.
It turned out to be make believe,
and somehow you're in love with me.
At least there is one thing that I know to be an actual fact.
I fell flat, and love is what was bringing me back.
Now that I know what I lack,
I need another dose of you, stat!

If you put it in pen, I'll regret it again
because I'm bound to make some mistakes.
And it's gonna stink if it's permanent ink,
I might wish that it could be erased.
But, pencil me in and I'll do what I can
to ensure I don't act like a flake.
Pencil me in, darlin' please understand;
it's a commitment I'm not sure I should make!
If it's written in lead, it won't mess with my head
because then I know I can back out.
Oh, it seems immature, but I'm really not sure.
There's a chance that this all could go south.
But, pencil me in and I'll do what I can
to ensure I don't act like a flake.
Pencil me in, darlin' please understand;
it's a commitment I'm not sure I should make!
I'm unreliable!
I'm stretched too thin!
Pencil me in!
If it's written in stone, or in blood, or in bone
I'll freak out, and I may just shut down.
Oh, I want to so bad, and to give this a stab.
As it is, my word means nothing now.
But, pencil me in and I'll do what I can
to ensure I don't act like a flake.
Pencil me in, darlin' please understand;
it's a commitment I'm not sure I should make!

It's like I always split a seam when you are near,
but falling all to pieces 'round you's natural, my dear.
Getting up the nerve to make the move is hard.
I'm not tall enough to reach where I hold you in high regard.
I would need stilts to even kiss you, and I
never thought that height would be an issue, but now
up on that pedestal I placed you,
and I'm never gonna reach you. It's too tall...
It's like I always have to smile at what you do,
but I'm not sure if you see that from your elevated view.
If I stood up on my tip-toes could you see?
Or are you so far up there that you wouldn't notice me?
I would need stilts to even kiss you, and I
never thought that height would be an issue, but now
up on that pedestal I placed you,
and I'm never gonna reach you. It's too tall...
I think it's time that I get past my fear of heights.
Maybe I could pass a note by satellite.
I'll make them 2 feet wide, and 40 stories long.
He might reject me, but I could be wrong.
I feel like a circus act, I'm hoping that these work.
If I built them incorrectly, then the fall is gonna hurt...
It seems unsafe to be this high without a net,
but I'll choose taking chances over living with regret.
I would need stilts to even kiss you, and I
never thought that height would be an issue, but now
up on that pedestal I placed you,
and I'm never gonna reach you. It's too tall...

Take A Pill
02:15
|

|
Flipping off inanimate objects
because it seemed like a good plan at the time,
and some say that I should take a pill, but I don't think I will.
I know this is just a phase.
Stressing out and drinking coffee.
Glaring at myself in the mirror,
and some say that I should take a pill, but I don't think I will.
I know this is just a phase.
If I could pull myself together
maybe I wouldn't hear people say
that I should take a pill,
but I don't think I will.
No, no, no.

Reasons
02:18
|

|
It all makes perfect sense.
There's no way that it could be coincidence.
You left no evidence.
In the end you could explain the fingerprints.
It wraps up much more neat if there are reasons we can see.
Explanation for the evil that is done,
but when it's incomplete, there's no logic underneath,
and you look for reasons when there isn't one.
And when the case is closed
you can wipe your tears, and you can clean your nose.
Regardless of the proof,
you're the only one that's gonna know the truth.
It wraps up much more neat if there are reasons we can see.
Explanation for the evil that is done,
but when it's incomplete, there's no logic underneath,
and you look for reasons when there isn't...
So, don't be afraid!
That knocking's coming from my grave,
and I hope that it's not keeping you awake!
It's pounding in your head,
but then I am already dead,
and you are safe within your bed!
So, sweet dreams! It's late.
Ooh. Ooh ooh ooh.
Ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh.

Sweet
02:39

Potential is one thing. I've heard I had a lot,
but where does that begin? Where does it stop?
Have I crossed the line between things that I could do
and what I have already done?
What defines that point in time?
If money is success then I am just a bum.
If that's what makes you smart, I guess I'm dumb.
I have come to grips with the person that I am.
There's a feeling that you get at that moment when you can.
It's sweet, but it's incomplete
'cause how am I supposed to live up to all of the hype?
My expectations rise, I cut 'em down to size.
Don't wanna be a failure in your eyes.
I may be aiming low, and 'though it isn't wise,
I'd have a better chance to be surprised.
I won't expect it.
And I appreciate your vote of confidence
when I get skeptical or unconvinced,
and it's good to know that I'm not in this alone,
and I enjoy the little things;
like your smile when I come home.
It's sweet, but it's incomplete
'cause how am I supposed to live up to all of the hype?
My expectations rise, I cut 'em down to size.
Don't wanna be a failure in your eyes.
I may be aiming low, and 'though it isn't wise,
I'd have a better chance to be surprised.

I don't keep in touch with you.
It just doesn't cross my mind.
I get lost within my life,
and I don't keep track of time.
I would say I'll call you more
to check in and wish you well,
but even if I phoned right now
I'd just talk about myself.
I apologize so much time goes by before
you ever hear from me.
Please don't take offense from how long it's been.
I know just how inconsiderate I tend to be.
Thinking back when we were kids,
there's not much that I recall.
But I know I looked up to you,
and that's not just 'cause you're tall.
Can't say that I'll call you more,
even just to say hello.
It doesn't mean that you're not loved
just in case you didn't know.
I apologize so much time goes by before
you ever hear from me.
Please don't take offense from how long it's been.
I know just how inconsiderate I tend to be.
I am sorry.
I apologize so much time goes by before
you ever hear from me.
Please don't take offense from how long it's been.
I know just how inconsiderate I tend to be.

Glenn Case Spokane, Washington
I write music.
I listen to music.
I genuinely just love
music.
I have a song available in "Rock Band" and that makes me smile.
Yeah, I'm the guy who did the soundtrack for "The New Adventures of Captain S".
I probably release too many albums, but I do attempt to find a good balance between quality and quantity.
Thank you.
