Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be the one that you show that you’re weak?
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be the on in your dream
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I carry you home at the end of the night?
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be the one that you show that you’re weak?
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be the on in your dream
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be your prince?
I’d like to be your sword, your cape, your crown
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be the one that you show that you’re weak?
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be the on in your dream
Why can’t I be your prince?
Why can’t I be your prince?

You in a Wig
03:23
|
|||
I was in love with you in a wig
And now your hair is blowing
Mine’s still on
I still wear that shirt
I still pull my pants up high
I’m still in love with you in a wig
I’m still lost
We went to the lake to swim
The water was so cold that it was something we could laugh about
I saw you in a swim suit
I’ve never seen you any less revealed
In this room I see the ghost of us
I watched him die
I’m still haunted by the ghost of us
I watched him die I watched him die I watched him die
I was in love
And I’m still in love
And now you hair is flowing
I’m still lost

It’s another Saturday
You’re not gonna come
But I’ll wait until eight
And I’ll go to bed at nine
to dream a pipe dream
in the dream we are up ‘til 10 ’o clock
and we rock and we roll and we fall in love
cock-a-doodle-doo
so crows the rooster
the night has grown into day
hey hey hey what can happen in the sun?
Nothing can happen in the sun
Nothing can happen when it snows
But if they go together then we too can go together
If I forget my umbrella
It’s another Saturday
You’re not gonna come
But I’ll call through the fall
And I’ll dream until spring
And I’ll fantasize in summer

Don't Say "Love"
04:41
|
|||
Please don't say "Love"
don't make it complicated
don't go and think I think of you
I'm not your dove
and I wont be your lady
I wanna get so far away from you
you better take me where no one knows
we're in not in love
and you are not my baby
and when my prince comes I will know
it isn't so
not even sort of maybe
and I guess you need to be told it's you
I've had better dicks in thongs
Please don't say we're on a date
and please don't grab my hand
I just have urges to sate
and if even barely you're still a man
so lose your hope
and all your fairy stories
and if you ask me one more time
if this is love
tonight is ending gorily
I'm just so lonely I could cry to you
and lie to you to make you stay the night
if I'm falling it's in hate
and I could use my hand
but the bus wont take me(you) home this late
and if even barely you're still a man
if this is love
I wont hear nothing of it
this isn't what I dreamed about

and there was a young girl who heard 'bout mars
the planet the final frontier
there's too many light years to reach the stars
but mars it is pretty much here
but going to mars is for grown up folk
and she she is only a girl
there's more than a decade 'til she can vote
she can't understand Montesquieu
it's all well and good to think I'll be cool
in fifteen or twenty years time
but Nietzsche's great men don't just stand and drool
they cause things to happen and now
even if close it is far away
it's further than you'll get in cars
she thought: "you will lose if you falter and stray
I'm writing a letter to mars"
Dear Mars are you hanging on
I know you get awfully cold
I can't understand minus 133
but when it's cold I wear a coat and scarf
and Mars I hope you're fine
and you have water now
and life will find a way
rarely if ever things go to mars
unprecedented a letter
but the post man that got it was also an astronaut
things couldn't get any better
but if you believe that it found the shore
I hope that you're not very old
or life has some unpleasant truths in store
the only way forward is gold

There’s no one who is quite this independent
No one else has saved their breath like her
No one else can open up their mouth at any time
And be someone who just says things if they’re smart
No one else is headed for the same level of fresh new start in college in the fall
Nothing else seems quite as far away
And a year is very many lonely days
Even if subtracting all the holidays
She is counting all the safe if sorry ways
To waste away a lunch break
There’s no one in these hallways who will miss me
No one here will wonder where I’m gone
If I leave tomorrow all that changes is the roll call
But roll call, I love you, I will stay
Noe one else is headed for the same level of crash and burn in college in the fall
Thankfully it’s quite a bit away
And a year can never have too many days
And today she’s counting all the holidays
She’s lost count of the safe if sorry ways
To waste a way a lunch break
There’s no one who is quite this independent
No one is particularly strong
If we eat together then the lunch tastes twice as good
Someone had to tell you while you’re young
Everyone is hoping for a fairy-taley fresh new start in college in the fall
Everyone is scared of going away
And a year is very many lonely days
Even if we hang out in the weekend
See if you can figure out a less than sorry way
To waste away a lunch break.

Days of Nothing
02:31
|
|||
Days of nothing
All the days of nothing
Nothing but you are gone
I do miss you
I miss nothing
All the days of nothing
Nothing but you are gone
Days of nothing
Where will they go?
Time is so slow
Time is nothing
All the days of nothing
Nothing but you are gone
Where will I go when you don’t need me?
Where will I go when what you want is nothing?
All the days of nothing
Nothing but you are gone

Sally, Sally plays piano
Sally plays piano
And that Is all she does
And I wanna get to know her
But all that I can play is this
Sally is going to the city
Sally’s getting pretty
Sally will we grow apart?
Sally, Sally’s gonna leave me
Sally is too big for this
Sally, she’s a rock ‘n roller
Playing in the bowling scenes in retro films
Sally, would you get nostalgic
If I were to play you this?

Break Up Boogie
02:40

I broke in
You broke out
We broke up
And we broke down
I stayed out
You stayed in
I stayed up
And you stayed down
Now take your left heart out
And shake it all about
Breaking up and breaking down and breaking side to side
I broke in
You broke out
We broke up
And we broke down
I stayed out
You stayed in
I stayed up
And you stayed down
Now take your left heart out
And shake it all about
Breaking up and breaking down and breaking side to side
Pull your right leg up
And pull your left leg up
And wrap your arms around and start to cry:
If I was brave and bold
And filled with heart and hope
Now I am 16, clumsy and shy
I broke in
You broke out
We broke up
And we broke down
I stayed out
You stayed in
I stayed up
And you stayed down
Now take your left heart out
And shake it all about
Breaking up and breaking down and breaking side to side

Let's Call it Summer
02:18
|
|||
If the sun shines
Let’s call it summer
And if the rain falls
Let’s call it summer
Tell me where will we be
When the summer is gone
If the shoe fits
Let’s say in love
If I’m in love now
Why not forever?
If I’m afraid now
Why not forever?
If we close the door
Then tonight could last for all our lives
But morning comes, you’re pulling up the blinds
I still want to see you again
My flower by any other name
Some things change and some things stay the same
If the snow falls
Let’s call it summer
And pray that puppy love
goes on forever
if we let it be and are content that there are two of us
the shoe fits so call it love

Snow Song part 2
03:26
|

I’m back home again
The snow is falling down
I’m handing out my sister’s gifts
Like Santa Claus of Christmas past
A restless ghost that’s cutting ties
And we wont talk again
And you’re not gonna be my friend
And I’m less sure of where I’ll be
I hope the winter ends
I hope the snow wont melt
I hope you’ll call
Through your best friend’s door
I hear your voice once more
I wipe my eyes with mittens
Oh my God I’m going nowhere
Oh my God I’m going nowhere
We wont talk again
And you’re not gonna be my friend
And I’m less sure of where I’ll be
I hope the winter ends
I hope the snow wont melt
I hope you’ll call
Stars are up above
I thought for sure their glow
Would fade with us
I thought the big dipper was somehow ours
But it isn’t turning sour
We wont talk again
And you’re not gonna be my friend
And I’m less sure of where I’ll be
I hope the winter ends
I hope the snow wont melt
I hope you’ll call
