You could ease my heavy burden You could light the night sky Just give me your hand now baby I'll take you for a ride I'll take you for a ride We’ll cruise through the neon city center To the outskirts of this town We'll kiss and fight, make love to make up Drive deeper into the night, deeper into the night

Teenage Wife 02:43
I wasn’t part of the cool kids club Nothing but a sad face in the crowd But when I saw you by the stairs Baby I knew it then and there Wrote my number on a post-it note Made sure you’d see it on your locker door It said ”I’ll stop the wars, I’ll stop the time if you call me my to-be teenage wife” I’m waiting by the telephone It’s two years since we’ve last seen But I’m still waiting patiently I’ve built a shrine with a bunch of stuff That really creeps my sisters out They say ”open your eyes boy and see You and her were never meant to be She’ll never share your life She’ll never be your teenage wife” I’m dying by the telephone

Stalker 03:37
Everyday I watch you from afar Hanging your laundry and watering the lawn Then when the night falls you slip into something more comfortable And I’ll be right there behind your bedroom window Everyday you take the bus downtown You go tell the kids about planets, black holes and stars I wouldn’t mind you teaching me some astronomy Or about the secrets of female anatomy Then the day comes when you’ve moved on I wait and wait but you're no longer around You never knew I existed Or how I stayed beside you like a shadow, like a guardian angel Now that you’ve gone who’s gonna watch your back Pre-check your mail in case of an Anthrax attack?

Winona 02:17
Wi-Wi-Wi-Winona c’mon girl let me hold ya I’ll wipe the tears from your sad sad sad eyes If you got a problem, I’ll find you a solution I’m not afraid of anything oh why should I be? Wi-Wi-Winona let me be good to ya Serve you breakfast in bed and play you some jazz If you wanna stay for long, you might get bored I got no tv or wifi so it’s just you and I Just you and I (WiWiWiinona) Just you and I

I’ve been hiding from responsibilities for the better part of the century Oh it’s true, girl you know it’s true I’ve been living like a teenage boy, anxious heart, head full of noise Oh it’s true, by now you know it’s true I’ve been here before In the calm eye of the storm And it’s never gonna end I can’t move on I gave my life to melancholia, I was 15, just read Nausea Oh it’s true, I know you know it’s true I’ve met many girls I could’ve loved but really I’ve wanted only one Oh it’s true, babe you should know it’s true I’ve seen this before Stuck in the eye of the storm And it’s never gonna end

Tropicture 02:53
Oh I’m living the time of my life No longer letting it pass me by Everyday holds a new surprise When I’m living in paradise Falling asleep under the open sky Hula girls treat my broken soul With coconut milkshakes cold and long There’s nothing I could really miss right now Seychelles baby won’t you let me drown In these turquoise sounds leading me softly into a dream

Trouble 02:31
Girls, Girls, Girls mean trouble I know Redheads, brunettes, girls mean trouble I know Blondies with eyes like Bambi… They say ”I just want your heart and your loving arms”… But they’ll eat you alive and burn your insides… When I was young I had the same problem… I understand it’s tough being a man… I was faithfull as a bull… Said ”I love you but I love her too”… Oh believe me I know Girls, Girls, Girls mean trouble I know

Old Country 02:32
Take the next train away from here Leave this hopeless place behind Nothing to carry, nothing to declare No sins to wash off or confess Do you realize this could be your last chance? Leave with past stains on your body and skin Arrive all cleansed and new Redefine who you’ll be what you’ll become No more dark thoughts holding you down Maybe you can change just by skipping town? Take the train through the old country I can’t leave but darling you can Go somewhere south where old men play petanque And the swallows sing free through the night

Soon Better 04:51
Can we forget all the fights I’ve started Not go into detail of every crime I’ve committed ’cos soon I’m getting better (I just wanna feel fine) Soon I’m getting better (I’d settle even for ”alright”) Just need a little more time Burn my old clothes, my old self in all its misery Burn the pills that made my hair break into pieces Soon I’m getting better ( I just wanna feel fine) Soon I’m getting better ( I’d settle even for alright) Can you give me more time
