Cheri You Stole My Stereo

Cheri (Sherry), you stole my stereo
my dog Bill, my car and my Mac
You can keep the rest of it
but I’m here to tell you
I’m gonna get that Corvette back

ch:
Give me back my Sting Ray
and I’ll let your sister go
She followed me from Austin
but she’ll go home
if I’m the one that tells her so…

2
All the way thru hi school
I was the one who was supposed to break your heart
then we settle down
and you get bored and
you tear our world apart

3
I thought that we were happy
that just goes to show you what I know
I thought I changed all the locks
but I missed that one, you and your tweaker friend
took everything I owned

Without a Thought of You

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

To think that I once
felt sorry for you
it’s all that i can
bring my puny brain to do

you must think me quite naive
and don’t think I ain’t gonna leave
I just want you to know
what you put me through:

I won’t ever have a dream
without knowning it won’t come true
I won’t ever think of lonely
without a thought of you

Fallin’ for you
was a stretch for me
all your arty friends,
important people to bleed

as every artists knows
every show that
opens must close
you can put it in 30 pt type
in my review:

I won’t ever think of lonely
without a thought of you
i won’t ever have a dream
without knowning it won’t come true

I won’t ever think
forever
without knowing it’s
really never

I won’t ever think of lonely
without a thought of you

: Gsus Asus
Go back home and
tell all the kids
this is what it’s like
when their hero hits the skids
go out to the farm and
tell my ma and pa
the higher you climb
the farther you must fall

V :  Bm A D,A G
I started out thinking
that I’d always know the score
now I hardly know
what I was counting for
V – I have lost my one true love
my agent and my car
my condo and my dog
and twenty five guitars

CH : D A Bm,A G
Wake me up and say its all a dream
we could drink coffee and talk about what it all means
I dreamed I dreamed I threw it all away
If I could just wake up back in your arms today

V : but baby I was lost before
I left our town
I threw the map away
the day I put you down
V : yeah I hit the big time
but baby — the big time it hits back
and all the way up
I was looking back

CH : D A Bm,A G

V – I was on the fat side of heaven
how come it felt like hell
each day was a struggle
one day I just fell
V – The bottom dropped out
I laughed the whole way down
with a noose around yer neck
LA is a much nicer town

When Baby Can’t Go On

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

When Baby Can’t Go On
(Baby Lived Forever)
(When Baby Hits the Fan)

When Baby cant go on
she wont wonder why
you open up the bottle
and go home when its dry
where the darkness hits the dawn
and the ocean meets the sky
there’s never in that (her) always
and forever in her goodbye.

[ch]
baby lived forever
for almost thirty years
then she sailed away one day
on a ship of frozen tears

baby had a house those days
way up the shore
we all knew that she was hiding
but no one knew what for

the last time i saw her
i knew it was her time
there was sadness in her laughter
and a long-way-off in her eyes

Yknow I still remember one night real late, a single dog barking way off and Baby lying in bed next to me looking at the roof of the trailer and she takes a drag on her smoke and says: “IN the post-literate culture, where cliche and aphorism take on the social importance of fable and where scandal takes on the importance of myth… the truly realized and fully actualized individual must, of necessity, be the architect of the deconstruction of her own mythos and ultimately of her own self-immolation…” She’s quite for a long littlel while while she takes another drag off the cigarette and then she says: “On some kinda level, anyway.”

She was shaking when I found her
one time before the end

When You Look Through Me

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

 

You ask me where I’ve been
I wonder what it matters
I wonder why you should care at all

I wonder what you see
when you look through me
I feel like a ghost in my own home

Oh but weren’t the old days grand
our lives together like love letters in the sand
raise a glass to the past
but don’t look through
to a time when you loved me and I loved you

I go out walking
you stay home talking
those people on the phone know more about me than I do

I hear your laughter
don’t hear what you say after
but I hear that the joke’s all over town

chorus

Scared

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Scared

dont know what to do about you
I did’nt know that I could still be scared
empty dreams night after night
afraid that you’ll never be there

I could give myself to love
but love would only break my heart
i could give my world to you
but you would tear that little world apart

one day I looked at myself
and then I began again
I built it up and I tore it down
and I won’t do that again

I could give myself to love…

everytime I hear I’m doing all right
I know that I’m living a lie
everytime that I feel myself start to slip
I hold my hand to the fire

I could give myself to love
but love would only break my heart
i could give my world to you
but you would tear that little world apart

Desenchante

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

désenchanté
Seven Year Blues

I’m sick of the blues
I’m sick of reggae too
I’m sick of rock and country
rap and techno too
I’m sick of madonna and bono
of course I always was
I’m sick of world music
ambient trance and dub
I am sick to death of everything
I always loved to do
I’m sick to death everything
but most of all of you

I’m fed up with cuisine nouvelle
I’m burned out on cajun too
(I’m) bored with boulebaise
with Thai and Greek I’m through
I wish I had a dollar
for every overpriced bordeaux
I wish I had a dime for every
slimy escargot
I am sick to death of everything
I always loved to do
I’m sick to death everything
but most of all of you

I’m désenchanté with
Canne and St Tropez
I cannot regain
that
simpaticissimo
I felt in Spain
I cannot explain
this ennui borders on pain
mais tout autour du monde
it’s all about the same
I’m sick to death of everything
I ever loved to do
I’m sick to death everything
and most of all of you

Only the Dance

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

partners will come, partners will go
waltzing off into the past
the music goes on, long after we’re gone
in the end there is only the dance

music plays from far away
let’s give it one more chance
why should we stumble, why should we fall
you know it’s only a dance

I’m here in the middle of the everything
and I’m hooked up to it all
I tried so long to be everywhere
and now I’m nowhere at all

partners will come…

The echo of that music box
the one that you found in Spain
I hear it at the river’s edge
and I hear it in the rain
— I hear it in the whisper of
the evening wind in the trees
I sing it in the thunderstorms
and I scream it down on my knees

partners will come…

music plays from far away
let’s give it one more chance
why should we stumble, why should we fall
you know it’s only a dance
you know it’s only a dance
you know it’s only a dance
