Can we talk to you You're cool beyond repair We love you He just stared and smirked Doing a cool jerk Said you kids can make me sick I'd like to see you try Don't you know my life Is such a drag to me All this heavy metal All this heavy irony I wanna be back home Watching my TV I don't love you Why you love me I don't love Why you love me We need you to rescue us from boredom We need you to rescue us from boredom Drove two hundred miles My clothes were out of style By the time that we arrived And Davy got so high He slept through half the show In the back of the car The first thing that I did I went home, got my records Started smashing Dad was so uptight He saw a chance to fight Said I really don't know why We love you Why we love you Why we love you Why we love you Why we love you No one to rescue you from boredom There's no one to rescue you from boredom There's no one to rescue you from boredom

First they break you and they take you to heart Double boil your vision just to spoil the art And like every sausage is a link in the chain If you start eating now, you'll have to try it again So tell me, who's your favourite author? Mine's Graham Greene He started with the start and kept his sentences lean Lean like a sub machine And I lie awake with the question mark Singing la la la la la la la When I hit the bottle, I lost my spark He's an old drinking buddy with a very good laugh He hit on his wife and he fired his staff So if you've got to go and answer, you're out of luck with him And if she don't talk to brandy, she may talk with some gin So tell me, who's your favourite player? Mine was Joe Greene He played up the middle and his nickname was mean That's the name of his team: mean Yeah, it's the name of his game So tell me, who's your favourite singer? Mine was Al Green He sang with his heart, that's how he kept his steam Like a soul machine And I lie awake with the question mark Singing la la la la la la la When I hit the bottle, I lost my spark

Green Hand 02:22
I remember distantly The day you showed me your green hand Swollen up and tattooed so you'd hide it And when you act like that, yeah, yeah When you act like that, yeah, yeah I don't know what I expect It isn't that hand or your behaviour I didn't think that should get you so excited And you'd act so unaware I'm not acting like I don't care I know that your green hand Means more to you than we'll understand That's why we wrote you this here plan And all the things you say Don't mean as much the very next day That's why you have got that hand

You could come over anytime You can smash all my windows Set my house on fire Might as well take my TV Yeah I don't really care what happens to me People talk about fun That's overrated I spot it coming along Move around it When I go down in flames Will you be there Don't speak to me unless to say That you will remember You could take what's left of me Put it into a jar And pickle me in alcohol And keep me up above your fireplace When you're at a loss for words I'm your conversation piece You say you got plans Big ambitions I'm gonna get mine too Just do it different than you When I go down in flames Will you be there Don't speak to me unless to say That you will remember

Boots 03:12
Are you serious? Are you my only friend? Are you serious? Are you my only one? They serve a perfect model So I take my bottle And I drink from their boots I drink from their boots On the sea of sucker suits I don't know why, but I feel chastised when I look in their eyes When they say I'm in trouble I've got nothing to hide Are you serious? Are you my only friend? Are you serious? Are you my only one? So I go and stand with the rolled eyes And it's a funny thing, but it's a beautiful view It's a beautiful view Brick, brick, brick, wood and glass Here's something, some money, go home tonight They serve a perfect model So I take my bottle And I drink from their boots I drink from their boots On the sea of sucker suits Are you serious? Are you my only one?
