Focus, Ford!

I bought a car,
didn't drive it far;
just around the block a couple thousand times.
Slick ride with ease,
cool summer breeze,
five-disc CD changer for those easy access tunes.
She gets me round the world,
what I wouldn't do...

Sink or Swim
03:47
|

|
There's not enough sunlight in the window,
so go on and pack your things.
We'll ride off into the sunset
and catch that dirty bastard while he sinks.
There's not enough angels in my head dear;
the devils have all taken o'er.
I'll have to run away, I'll have to live another day, I'll have to sink...
or swim for shore.
I've never had anyone believe me
when I tell them all the things that I've seen.
It's a strange and messed up story
and I think it's much too gory,
but I think it's high time that I come clean
I've ridden up the shoreline back to Alma,
stole the shady lane and flew the coop.
Now that's a day I'll always cherish
as life goes on to close the loop.

Glowsticks

I've been struggling
not to fall apart.
I've been trying
not to fall too hard.
I'm not going
out in the dark.
I'll keep glowing
'till I've made my mark.
It's all I can do
not to fall apart.
It's all I can do
not to fall too hard.

Dogger Dan, you're the man,
come and help us if you can,
oh man!
The garbage huts are full of pups,
come and clean it up with your bare ass
hand...
Your bare ass
hand...
Mr Dogger Dan.
Dogger Dan, you got a plan:
a thousand circles raking up the sand,
oh man!
Dogger Dan, no garbage can
can stand up to your garbage cleaning
plan...
Mr Dogger Dan
with your garbage
hands...
Dogger Dan clean it up with your hands.
Dogger Dan,
you're the man!
You've got your sticks
and your clean ass garbage
can...

Copper Price
03:41
|

|
I've been on my own
for a little while.
I've been on the road,
rocking out in style.
Maybe I'll go home,
maybe I'll retire;
don't matter where I go...
I'll be alright.
It's been a long, long year;
I'm ready to go.
I've paid the copper price,
now it's time for snow.
I've been on my own
for a little while.
I've been on the road,
rocking out in style.
I've got no idea
what I'm gonna do.
I've got a general plan,
otherwise I've got no clue.
I'll try my very best,
that much is true.
Worst-case: I'm still alive
and tomorrow's new.
It's been a long, long year;
I'm ready to go.
I've paid the copper price,
now it's time for snow.

Not Looking
03:18
|

Yeah I'm not looking for anger
Yeah I'm not looking for lies,
I'm just looking for some nice girl
to take me by surprise.
Yeah we can go out dear,
or we can stay on the couch.
I don't really care what we do
as long as my heart don't say "ouch!"
I don't plan out my life
more than a week in advance,
but I know it just takes
a nice girl to dance.
I don't think I could take
another heartless girl.
So if you've got an ounce of niceness in you,
why don't you take me for a whirl.
I think we could make
a pretty good team,
if you've got what it takes;
a little love's what I mean.

Obsessed
05:13
|

|
I rebuke a fact on a whim nobody knows:
the idealisms of a catatonic fireman's hose.
But it's not the way it is,
no it's not the way she blows.
So I simply sigh a beat,
and I hold this masculine pose.
But I reserve the right to obsess,
though it's not the way I dress...
Yeah my feelings are all messed,
still I reserve the right to obsess.
Let's put these feelings to the test.
Wooded freelines are abreast,
and you needn't hear the rest;
every hair is seated by the best.
Still I reserve the right to obsess,
though it's not the way I dress...
Yeah my feelings are all messed,
still I reserve the right to obsess.

Heathersweater

I bought a sweater
from a girl named Heather.
I met her down at the mall.
She told me
its good for cold weather,
but I'd've bought anything from her at all.
She told me: "things would get better,"
but it's so hard when we're apart.
So I'll wear this sweater,
made from the strings of my broken heart.
I asked her: "do you wanna get coffee,
I don't know, whenever's your next break?"
And she smiled and said: "ten-thirty,"
And now my heart no more does break.
She was right; it got better.
She called it from the start.
Now I wear this sweater from my girl named Heather.
Made from the strings of my broken heart.

The End of the World
03:37
|
|||
|
I've been around for some time;
the mountain of life is a climb.
"It's not the end of the world," they say;
I'll live to write another day.
It's not the life I want for me,
but at the end of the world I'll be in this
hammock in a tree...
"It's not the end of the world."
"It's not the end of the world."
I've still got you, my girl.
It's not the end of the world.
"It's not the end of the world."
"It's not the end of the world."
I've still got you, my girl.
It's not the end of the world.
I've found a place where we can go.
It's not the prettiest sight, you know,
but it's a place for you and me.
I can't think of any other place I'd rather be.
'Cause I wanna be with you my girl;
it's not the end of the world.
Oh, I wanna be with you my girl;
it's not the end of the world.
"It's not the end of the world."
"It's not the end of the world."
It's not the end of the world.
It's not the end of the world.
