+ | ==== 737 ==== | ||
+ | Down the street, | ||
+ | around the corner, over the bridge, that dirty water. College campus, mighty | ||
+ | minds and a reactor right behind. Passed the candy factory, Salvation Army, fire | ||
+ | station through the square, I hate that place up the stairs. Next the doors, | ||
+ | they never work I never let that bother me. And I hope some worker' | ||
+ | disgruntled I hope there' | ||
+ | loudly everyday now for a year. Stamp machines and wanted posters here again, | ||
+ | again I'm here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now it's 737 almost everyday! 737 well I want you to say! 737 and everyday! 737 | ||
+ | almost everyday! Nice to know that someone hears us it's good to know somebody' | ||
+ | there, takin the time to say hello, taking the time to show you care. Write | ||
+ | again and thanks again from the bottom of my heart. See you soon and till then | ||
+ | 737 is a real big part. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 737 almost everyday! 737 well I want you to say! 737 almost everyday! 737! | ||
+ | |||
+ | I've been down the last time, stretchin the finish line. Shoe glue what can I | ||
+ | do? A man's not well dressed if his shoes are a mess. Rock and Roll I've got a | ||
+ | hole right in my sole. Let's rock! It's fucking my walk and soaking my sock. Who | ||
+ | knew? It's not stopping my step or stepping my stop. We've got it up and we | ||
+ | won't let it drop. Beer here, don't wanna see clear, I see no point in wrecking | ||
+ | the joint. We're here to quench our thirst a bit but we won't get the worst of | ||
+ | it. Turn it up more than a notch like a punch to the face or a kick to the | ||
+ | crotch. All night never ender benefiting from a bender if nothing' | ||
+ | you. That's the key 'cause nothing' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== A Dollar and a Dream ==== | ||
+ | I've got a dollar, | ||
+ | that I want to save | ||
+ | safe in my pocket, I'll try to hold fast | ||
+ | hey! it might be my last | ||
+ | I know what I've got, folded safe in its spot | ||
+ | I earned a dollar, it's not here to share | ||
+ | I've got a dollar and that's all I've got | ||
+ | a million more is just a single grain | ||
+ | a grain of sand, or just one drop of rain | ||
+ | a small amount might make the difference these days | ||
+ | a dollar and a dream is all I can raise | ||
+ | I had a dream, I had all the answers | ||
+ | to all the questions, I've ever been asked | ||
+ | and in my dream, I had all the answers | ||
+ | to all the questions, I've ever asked myself | ||
+ | man what a dream, it sure felt great | ||
+ | took to the streets, 'cause I couldn' | ||
+ | to freely give wisdom and share what I knew | ||
+ | I had a dream and that's all I had | ||
+ | a million here, lay down in pain every night | ||
+ | a million there, to stay alive must fight | ||
+ | I'm sure my numbers underestimate | ||
+ | a dollar and a dream, I swear it's not too late | ||
+ | I had a dollar, I wanted to save | ||
+ | keep in my pocket, I held fast | ||
+ | a dollar bill, that I would take to my grave | ||
+ | deep in my pocket like it was my last | ||
+ | look for the dollar, now it's not there | ||
+ | even the pants are a different pair | ||
+ | I earned the dollar, I had to share | ||
+ | I had a dollar and that's all I had | ||
+ | a million more, is just a star in the sky | ||
+ | tip of the iceberg, but we've all got to try | ||
+ | our works cut out, and there' | ||
+ | a dollar and a dream, is step number, step number one | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||

+ | How did this could | ||

+ | gives. I'm a man without a place to live. A man without a place to go and it | ||
+ | just might be my fault I know. Won't hold you up or bag your eyes but I'm a man | ||
+ | please realize. How did this could this come to this? Helpless heartless | ||
+ | loneliness. Heartless, had a heart just yesterday. Helpless didn't used to be | ||
+ | this way. Homeless, that's the worst part of it all. Fuck this, what I scream at | ||
+ | every wall. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Are my screams being ignored. I'm screaming can you help me Lord. No one hears a | ||
+ | man like me. It's easier if they don't see. So let's all just pretend to feel | ||
+ | and make believe that I'm not real. Help is what I'm screaming for, help me | ||
+ | please don't just ignore. It's come to this helpless heartless loneliness. Hand | ||
+ | held out, hope someone gives. I'm a man without a place to live, a man without a | ||
+ | place to go. And it just might be my fault I know. Won't hold you up or bag your | ||
+ | eyes but I'm a man please realize. How did this could this come to this (x7) | ||

+ | ==== Almost Anything Goes ==== | ||
+ | 4:30 in the | ||
+ | morning I'm tattered, tired and torn. Trying to keep up with the pace, this | ||
+ | ain't my home, and it ain't my place. The candle keeps on burning at this point | ||
+ | there' | ||
+ | Almost anything goes from the night clubs to the shows. Almost anything goes | ||
+ | from the haircuts to the clothes. Almost anything goes from your head down to | ||
+ | your toes. Almost anything goes, does this place ever close? | ||
+ | |||
+ | I wanna wake up in a city that likes to go to bed. Where they know what time of | ||
+ | day it is but I'm stuck here instead. Now every rule is disregarded, | ||
+ | we all get started moving at that hyperspeed this city seems to need. Almost | ||
+ | anything goes from the nightclubs to the shows. Almost anything goes from the | ||
+ | haircuts to the clothes. Almost anything goes from your head down to your toes. | ||
+ | Almost anything goes, does this place ever close? Nice place to visit but I | ||
+ | don't wanna die here. I stay on my toes whenever I go by here. Nice place to | ||
+ | visit but I don't wanna die here. I stay on my toes whenever I go by here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I was killing all my money, spending brain cells just as fast. So I'll grab a | ||
+ | taxi cab and head somewhere where I can crash. Port authority driver, home's my | ||
+ | destination. Don't noone wake me up til we're near Park Street Station. Almost | ||
+ | anything goes from the nightclubs to the shows. Almost anything goes from the | ||
+ | haircuts to the clothes. Almost anything goes from your head down to your toes. | ||
+ | Almost anything goes, does this place ever close? Nice place to visit but I | ||
+ | don't wanna die. I stay on my toes whenever I go by. There' | ||
+ | that's so attractive but I'd rather hang my hat on a hook that's not so active. | ||
+ | I was walking on the wild side, I was in that state of mind the neon lights were | ||
+ | bright but I'll be leaving them behind. Big city of dreams can be a nightmare a | ||
+ | knife, a fork a bottle, a cork I'm outta here. I'm outta here. Nice place to | ||
+ | visit but I don't wanna die here. I stay on my toes whenever I go by here. Nice | ||
+ | place to visit but I don't wanna die here. I stay on my toes whenever I go by | ||
+ | here. Almost anything Goes. Anything | ||
+ | |||

+ | ==== Dont Know How to Party ==== | ||
+ | I've heard all the | ||
+ | stories, the failures and glories I haven' | ||
+ | best and I'm a mess. I know I'm not neither. Thought I was down as far as any | ||
+ | man could go, thought my highs were giant size. I know now that's not so. I know | ||
+ | you heard, know you heard, know you heard, don't believe a word, not a word, one | ||
+ | word. It's been overblown, the truth should be known 'til now I couldn' | ||
+ | Put my cards on the table while I'm still able, I guess I really don't know how | ||
+ | to party. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's blown out of whack, the truth is what's lacking, 'til now I couldn' | ||
+ | The long and the short I'd like to report, I guess I really don't know how to | ||
+ | party. Really don't by any shape or form. Whether straight up in the sunshine or | ||
+ | passed out in a storm don't know how but now I know I don't will it help me out? | ||
+ | No, it probably won't. Ten nine ain't no hero number one at bad behavior. Five, | ||
+ | four, three, two, what? not zero. Don't go counting on a savior. I was playing | ||
+ | it safe when I'd fall on my face. Entertainment was what I was after, harmless | ||
+ | fun, no damage done. I was out and about for the laughter. Thought I was | ||
+ | something really something no one was gonna touch. Ace in the place, kingpin of | ||
+ | sin I didn't know too much. Don't believe everything you've heard, don't believe | ||
+ | a solitary word. It's been overblown, the truth should be known, 'til now I | ||
+ | couldn' | ||
+ | don't know how to party. Really don't by any shape or form. Whether straight up | ||
+ | in the sunshine or passed out in a storm, don't know how but now I know I don' | ||
+ | Will it help me out, no it probably won't. I don't have a notion and I don' | ||
+ | have a clue, an iota or an inkling where to start or what to do. The foggiest, | ||
+ | the faintest, the slightest I ain't got. Will it help me out? Nah, probably not | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Drunks and Children ==== | ||
+ | Don't mind when it | ||
+ | happens | ||
+ | no problem when I am sayin' it, | ||
+ | but when I lose my mind | ||
+ | kick my behind | ||
+ | because I hate when my mind keeps replayin' | ||
+ | I'm not braggin', | ||
+ | I hang around a drunken crowd | ||
+ | we are happy, that I can say | ||
+ | and until we're not, I kid you not | ||
+ | we're gonna stay that way. | ||
+ | We're down, down, down, | ||
+ | one more day of sayin' we won't be no more, | ||
+ | down, down, down, | ||
+ | one more good day of sayin' we won't be no more | ||
+ | drinkin' | ||
+ | I said "I love you", you turned away | ||
+ | maybe the drinkin' | ||
+ | it made me cry, | ||
+ | but I'm a happy, very happy, very happy guy | ||
+ | drunks and children they tell the truth | ||
+ | that's just what I am, I'm drunken youth | ||
+ | and when I am drinkin' | ||
+ | but I'm a happy, very happy, very happy guy | ||
+ | sometimes when when I'm playin' | ||
+ | I never watch what I'm sayin' | ||
+ | sometimes I lose my head | ||
+ | I lose my head and things get said | ||
+ | I never should have said | ||
+ | sometimes I get housed | ||
+ | I get housed I get soused | ||
+ | and shoot off my mouth | ||
+ | and sometimes I can't get out | ||
+ | and I don't know what I'm talkin' | ||
+ | you know i've made mistakes, | ||
+ | I've had my ups and downs | ||
+ | my ins and outs | ||
+ | my share of bad breaks | ||
+ | but when it's all | ||
+ | been said and done | ||
+ | I raise my beer and I swear | ||
+ | "God it's been fun!" | ||
+ | Good God oh my God good (x4) it's been fun ! | ||

+ | suffering and this is an illegal turn. | ||
+ | |||

+ | someone out, someone needs you now, no doubt. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He told me I should move along. I said, " | ||
+ | stay here, I've got the time and you can deal with real crime. He didn't like | ||
+ | what I was saying not at all no not one bit. I didn't see the point in staying | ||
+ | it was fun though I'll admit. Maybe I should mind my own, and maybe it's not my | ||
+ | concern but somewhere someone' | ||
+ | |||

+ | this is something we believe. What's beyond belief is just how much is wrong. | ||
+ | Nothing is gained when people fight, maybe our heads aren't screwed on tight. | ||
+ | Our only weapon is a song. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We're not building bombs or storing ammunition. We're just playing songs hoping | ||
+ | people will listen. Others try hate but hate won't move anything. We're trying | ||
+ | love and unity too. We're not packing pistols, we're not waging war. Most of our | ||
+ | missiles have only four chords. It's not a great plan but we like the agenda. | ||
+ | The arsenal' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Could be our idea isn't great, maybe our heads aren't screwed on straight. We | ||
+ | might be wrong and maybe nothing' | ||
+ | we'll have fun and that's for sure. Our only weapon is a song. | ||

+ | ==== Where' | ||
+ | hello? | ||
+ | checked the clock when I got home | ||
+ | and realized I was alone | ||
+ | sat for hours by the window | ||
+ | wonderin' | ||
+ | couldn' | ||
+ | took the pictures off the wall | ||
+ | paced the place as time moves slow | ||
+ | and I'm wondering where did you go? | ||
+ | Where' | ||
+ | I wanna know | ||
+ | Lit a cigarette I couldn' | ||
+ | wound the clock until it broke | ||
+ | went to bed then took a shower | ||
+ | stared at TV for an hour | ||
+ | did the dishes, made the bed | ||
+ | read a book I've never read | ||
+ | any minute you will show | ||
+ | and I'm wondering where did you go? | ||
+ | Where' | ||
+ | I wanna know | ||
+ | |||
+ | Where did you go?(4x) | ||
+ | I opened the fridge, I opened a beer | ||
+ | and played a tape I couldn' | ||
+ | emptiness began to grow | ||
+ | and I'm wondering where did you go? | ||
+ | Watched the sun come up from the back stairs | ||
+ | thought about the last few years | ||
+ | I lost control, I screamed, I cried | ||
+ | I punched a pole and went inside | ||
+ | packed my things called a friend | ||
+ | wished this emptiness would end | ||
+ | wrote a note then tore it up | ||
+ | poured the beer into a cup | ||
+ | sat on the couch, drank it slow | ||
+ | wondering where did you go? | ||
+ | I realized I couldn' | ||
+ | grabbed my things and I went away | ||
+ | Where' | ||
+ | I wanna know! |
