Twee Valley High
02:23
|
|||
A lime, a purple, a pink
will she swim or will she sink
a pound puppy paddle
a shake and a rattle
uh-huh!
there's an automatic wave machine
a robotic, melodic dream
burst of yellow flowers
a lemon drop shower
uh-huh!
'cos I'm trapped in a 1980's movie scene
watching the images on the screen
of this aquavescent bubblegum scene
aquavescent bubblegum scene
birds chirping over my head
I hope we're gonna end up in bed
yeah, the thunder's getting louder
in this picture page hour
uh-huh!
it's that sweet, sweet valley high
a Peppermint Patty sigh
tomorrow can't get better
in your candy striped sweater
na-ah!
'cos I'm trapped in a 1980's movie scene
watching the images on the screen
of this aquavescent bubblegum scene
aquavescent bubblegum scene
people moving faster
here comes the disaster:
life is but a dream
life is but a dream
life is but a dream
life is but a dream
life is but a dream
life is but a dream
life is but a dream

Obligatory Sad Love Song
02:52
|
|||
We woke up in the morning to a hazy sky-
I never wanted it to be over
drinking day old coffee you told me that you wanted to die
I only meant to hold you closer
by the afternoon when the rain set in
I was thinking of another
maybe it was better just being friends-
you insisted that we be lovers
and I couldnt believe you were so pretty,
we used to walk down the street to the same beat,
blooming like spring in the city,
we were wild for a while
I was only being made becasue you made me-
crazy to think of all your lies
Summertime came you and I were just obligatory-
your vacant stare, my dying eyes
why does it always have to end this way-
I've got a crush on a boy from Memphis
its the same old tracks day after day-
said goodbye well i never meant this
and I couldnt believe you were so pretty,
we used to walk down the street to the same beat,
blooming like spring in the city,
we were wild for a while
for a while we were wild
we were wild for a while

Gin And Platonic
02:24
|
|||
I spy, with my little eye
an out-of-focus girl who's about to cry
I'll buy her a beer or two
that she can cry into
she says: "isn't it ironic?
all you want is gin and platonic"
relationships I never wanted
relationships I have avoided
gin and platonic never gets me down
relationships I never wanted
relationships I have avoided
gin and platonic never lets me down
I spy with my little eye
a tiny crooked smile as she's about to sigh
she'll buy me a beer or two
that I can cry into
she says: "isn't it ironic?
all you want is gin and platonic"
relationships I never wanted
relationships I have avoided
gin and platonic never lets me down
relationships I never wanted
relationships I have avoided
gin and platonic never lets me down
relationships he never wanted
relationships he has have avoided
gin and platonic never lets me down

I Hate Vermont
02:04
|
|||
Look out my winter window
and watch the snow a-blowin'
I guess we're never going anywhere
the ice build up in the driveway
but there's no chance for a snow day
it's around this time each year I'm sure
that I hate, I hate Vermont
there's no good record stores and no good bookstores
fifty-five frat bars and one crappy gay bar
no all night diners and one crappy gay bar
why don't good bands ever come to play?
where are they?
I'm so fed up with hemp adornments
people blathering about star signs
can't they see how ugly dreadlocks are?
I'm so tired of wool socks with birkenstocks
I'm sick of all the yuppies in fleece hats
if I walk down Church Street one more time, I'll die
she's gonna die
hey! let's move to Portland or Portland!
at least we'd find an all-night diner
where we can sit smoking cigarrettes til dawn
and watch the sun come up
but we're trapped in, trapped in Vermont
can't get out
trapped in.trapped in Vermont
'cos we're snowed in
go on, take it back
you can have it all
go on, take it back
you can have it all
go on, take it back
you can have it all

My Girl
02:29
|
|||
I remember that Summer day
it was a sunny day
you had a stunning way about you
I watched you from across the way
a girl who made everything so gay
a Summer spent playing in the park
licking ice cream cones
sending flirty Crayola notes back and forth
sing songs and kissin' thru the night
a three year magic carpet ride
I'm swinging in the trees
she's flying with the breeze
buzzing like the bees in honey
my honey!
I'm singing this melody
you've got me swinging openly
I'm down on bended knee, metaphorically,
over you
over you, my girl
over you, my girl
over you
I remember that Summer day
it was a sunny day
you had a stunning way about you
I watched you from across the way
a girl who made everything so gay
a Summer spent playing in the park
licking ice cream cones
sending flirty crayola notes back and forth
sing songs and kissin' thru the night
a three year magic carpet ride

We went to the back room there
you talked about Cordouroy the Bear
we were five minus three
it was just you and me

it was just you and me
you blew bubbles in your hand
I told everyone "we're in a band"
you blew bubbles in your hand
I told everyone "we're in a band!"

You told me you'd never kissed a boy before
why does everybody have a crush on my girlfriend?
said you didn't even know what a boys lips were for
when is this madness going to end?
then I heard about you two on the dance floor
yeah, I see the way you're making eyes at my girlfriend
I won't be kissing those lips anymore
oh my god, don't even try to pretend
so I used you for awhile last Summer
just to relate to a pop song
you said you didn't care whatsoever
as long as the whole thing didn't last too long
well, we're doomed, lo-fi, and in love
yeah, we're doomed, lo-fi, and in love
you told me you had never kissed a girl before
why does everybody have a crush on my boyfriend?
said you didn't even know what a girl's lips were for
when is this madness going to end?
then I saw you and her on the dance floor
cos yeah, I see the way you're making eyes at my boyfriend
I won't be kissing your lips anymore
oh my god, don't even try to pretend
yeah, I used you for awhile last Summer
just to relate to a pop song

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

Cotton Sox

God bless your little cotton socks
my favorite thing you wear
better than that fucking sweater
or the way you part your hair
it doesn't really matter to me
I'll always look better than you
no matter what you do
I'll always look better than you
I'll always look better
God bless your little cotton socks
my favorite thing you wear

Momus, Where Are You?
02:45
|
|||
Momus, where are you?
I fear we're drifting apart
I put you in a box
next to the Secret Stars
and now it's breaking my heart
maroon cordouroy pants
the way we used to dance!
Seagull, my music maker
how I long to feel your grooves
instead, you're oceans away
and I'm daydreaming a day
when I can play with you
a dive diner romance
just give me one more chance
maroon cordouroy pants
the way we used to dance!
I want a snowflake on the tip of my tongue
make me an ice palace escape from the sun
let's have a dance party in the living room
cowboy hats and purple boas
dress up impromptu
sale through garages and barns all acroos the land
to find the cutest outfits for our five-piece band
we'll get lost in the dark under dimly lit stars
or drink cheap wine on the porch
because we don't do the bars
don't do the bars
Parker Posey at a glance
yeah, a pop culture trance
a dive diner romance
just give me one more chance
so fly me home
where I won't be alone
got my reasons to go:
to see my mom and dad
and the friends I had
and my lovelorn stereo!

I don't have anything right now
Dana Kaplan took the wheel
headed north across the border
with the birthday boy in tow
everyone made songs for Dave
we got in the car and played the tape
Holly had to work that day
we drove three hours in a car
on the way to Coupe Bizarre
drink sangria from a plastic cup
now my friends have cool haircuts
drink sangria from a plastic cup
now my friends have new haircuts
and I love my mom so much
I'll give my little pony a perfect haircut
everytime
I don't have anything right now

Army of Pop Kids

Shucked corn in Kansas
dealt cards in a Vegas casino
just to get away
just to get away
broke bread in boxcars
shared beds with boys I never even tried to love
never even tried to love
together we'll form a pop band
and all across the world
brothers and sisters will join hands
and we'll be free for a minute
just for a minute
let's dance!
let's dance
what's the point of singing
what's the point of rockin' out
when the bombs are all
about to fall?
'cos it's Imperial Pleather
to shove more crap down everybody else's throats
or maybe it's inevitable
together we'll form a pop band
and all across the world
brothers and sisters will join hands
and we'll be free for a minute
just for a minute
let's dance!
let's dance
bought porn in Kansas
lost a bundle at a Vegas casino
just to get away
from that which is called real life
played shows in boxcars
got head from boys I never even tried to love
don't think we'll ever settle the score
together we'll form a pop band
and march across the world
brothers and sisters will join hands
and we'll be free for a minute
just for a minute
let's dance!
let's dance
you think it's easy but you couldn't find a way
we turn it over but you've got nothing to say
we keep it simple, but you miss out anyway
we keep it simple but you couldn't find a way
we turned it over still you had nothing to say
we make it easy, but you'll miss out anyway
while the bombs fall down

Deep Blue Sea
01:24
|

Would you cry if I die
that's how I know if you love me, baby
would you go if I let you
stay if I kept you, baby
would you devote your life to me
swim across the deep blue sea?
I'm so scared all the time
that I'll lose you, baby
I'm ashamed at how much I could use you, baby
when the writing's on the wall
I wonder if you'll call
if you feel it inside
just say so and don't lie to me, baby
would you cry if I die
that's how I know if you love me, baby
