Song From an American Movie, Part 1 Lyrics

2 ContributorsSong From An American Movie, Part 1 LyricsThe only thing that ever made sense to me
Is the words to a song from an American movie
The only thing that ever made sense is my life
Is the sound of my little girl laughing
Through the window of a summer night
I sit alone in the backyard
Wishing I could be inside
Just the sound of my little girl laughing
Makes me happy just to be alive
Makes me happy just to be alive

Here We Go Again Lyrics

2 ContributorsHere We Go Again LyricsSay here we go again say here we go again
Oooooooo
You know I like to watch you sleep (sleep sleep sleep)
No... I don't want to touch you
You'll get mad at me
No... I don't want to think about
The bad times
Aw... anyone could have a bad year
Now I don't want you to show me
Do not want you to know me
The way I used to be...
All these good things we have
Would not mean a damn to me
And I don't want to hear
Those words
You feel you have to say
When you find out
How I used to be
Back in the day
Yeah you know I like
The way you slide (slide slide slide)
Yeah yes I like it when you do
That slow glide
Now please don't bad talk all those
Good times
Aw don't ask for answers, baby
That you do not want to hear
Now I don't want you to make me
Do not need you to break me
Of all my childish ways
I'm still the same you know
Dumb rock hard
And good to go
I still hear them voices calling me
From back in the day
Aw baby... can't you see
There ain't no place
I'd rather be...
Than watching dirty movies
In that happy room with you
Sleeping on a mattress
In the corner
Eating Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head say
Here we go again
Now here we go again
I know you like the way I rock
Sometimes I just need
To drown out
All that bad talk
I could not care less what your
Friends say
Someone's always talking shit
About the old days
You do not need to remind me
That I left it all behind
Those things I used to do
I don't want that other life cause
I am so in love with you
I can barely hear it calling me
From back in the day
Aw baby... can't you see
There ain't no place I'd rather be
Than watching dirty movies
In that happy room with you
Sleeping on a mattress
In the corner
Eating Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head say...
Here we go again
Yeah here we go again
Aw baby... here we go again
I know here we go
I know here we go
I know here we go
I know here we go
I know... I know... I know...
I know... I know...
Aw baby baby can't you see
I know you got some doubts
I know you don't believe
I know you think that I'm crazy
And I know you're just like me
When I hear that voice inside
It makes me want to jump right in
Saying
Here we go! (go!)
Here we go! (go!)
Here we go! (go!)
Here we go again...
Let's go watch some dirty movies
Yes in that nasty little room
Sit right on the mattress
While we eat that greasy
Chinese food
I hear that voice inside my head say
Here we go again
Oooh... baby here we go again

AM Radio Lyrics

[intro]
*K-H-J Los Angeles!
Portions of today's programming are reproduced by means of
Electrical transcriptions or tape recordings*
You could hear the music on the AM Radio
[Verse 1]
The VCR and the DVD
There was none of that crap back in 1970
We didn't know about a World Wide Web
It was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid
Want to get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell-bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walking in style with a portable CD player
[Chorus]
No, you could listen to the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
[Verse 2]
Flashback back in '72
Another summer in the neighborhood hanging out with nothing to do
Sometimes we go driving around
In my sister's Pinto cruising with the windows rolled down
We listen to the radio station
We were too damn poor to buy the eight track tape
There wasn't any good time to want to be inside
That my mama wanna watch that TV all goddamn night
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
[Chorus]
You'd have to wait 'til you could hear it on the AM Radio, AM Radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
I can still hear Mama say, "Boy, turn the radio down!"
[Spoken]
Oh, mom
Not that show again! I don't wanna watch that show!
Can't we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool?
Turn it off!...
[Verse 3]
Things changed back in '75
We were all blowing up on the end of the outside
We got in trouble with the policeman
We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van
I remember 1977
I started going to concerts and I saw Led Zeppelin
I got a guitar on Christmas day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come to Santa Monica to teach me to play
[Pre-Chorus]
Teach me to play
Teach me to play
There isn't any place that I need to go
There isn't anything that I need to know
That I did not learn on the radio
[Bridge]
Everything gets stupid and I just don't know
Where to find my happy
I listened to the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
You could hear the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
You could hear the music on the AM Radio, AM Radio
[Chorus]
(AM Radio) I like pop, (AM Radio) I like soul
I like rock, but I never liked disco
(AM Radio) I like pop, (AM Radio) I like soul
I like rock, but I never liked disco
(AM Radio) we like pop, (AM Radio), we like soul
We like to rock (no, no), but we never liked disco
(AM Radio) we like pop, we like soul
We like to rock (no), but we never liked disco
(AM Radio) we like pop, (AM Radio), we like soul
We like to rock (no), but we never liked disco
[Outro]
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, (AM Radio) no
(AM Radio) no, (AM Radio) no
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco
(AM Radio) no, I never liked disco

The Honeymoon Song Lyrics

2 ContributorsThe Honeymoon Song LyricsYou know I love you baby
And I know you love me too
But the fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon
Stepped off the plane
Into a warm sunny day
Then we
Got lei'd
Together
The sun shines down
On a Hanalei Town
Where the fish all smile
'Cause they know us
Our wedding day
Was warm and sunny
Our friends and family
Came from out of town
We said "I do"
Then ate some food
And smiled
Until the sun
Went down
We'll take the Zodiac Cadillac
Around the north shore
Then we'll head back
The sea turtles comes to greet us
So let's get loaded tonight
We'll drink on the flight
Back home
The honeymoon is over
You know I love you baby
And I know you love me too
But the fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon
We're on our honeymoon
We're on our honeymoon
The fun that day
Didn't start until
We left on our honeymoon

Otis Redding Lyrics

4 ContributorsOtis Redding LyricsDo you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were lucky?
We were livin' the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms
Sit and watch the stars glide
Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers?
Do you remember when we were the lame?
Do you remember when we were the lepers?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were strung out?
Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep
I wish I had one more life
I don’t wanna be wasted
I don’t wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don’t wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
I don’t wanna be wasted
I don’t wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don’t wanna be wasted, I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be wasted, I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be wasted, I don’t wanna be blind
I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours too
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding
I wish I could play this guitar in tune
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy in a way
No one outside could ever know?
I wish I had one more life
How I wish I had one more life to live
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted
No, I don’t wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
No, I don't want to be blind
No, I don't want to be blind

Unemployed Boyfriend Lyrics

[Spoken]
Hi this is Peggy, leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya!
[Spoken]
Hey Peggy, it's me
You are never going to believe what happened to me today
I'm sitting at the unemployment office
Waiting on my loser of a case worker
In one of those nasty chairs
When from out of nowhere
This total stranger walks right up to me, sits down
Then leans over and says something like
"This is going to sound a little obsessive...."
[Sung]
This is going to sound a little obsessive
This is going to sound a little bit strange
I have one thing to say
Before I turn and I walk away
This is going to sound a little impulsive
This is going to sound a little insane
I know you don't know me yet
But you and I
We will be together
Someday
Someday
I know ... I know ... I sound like I'm on drugs
But listen to me when I say...
That ever since I first saw you
Sitting on your car outside you asked for a cigarette
I couldn't stop staring at your eyes
Ever since when I first saw you
Looking bored in that plastic chair
With the lights of the office around you
Those blonde streaks
They look so pretty in your black hair
You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare
Yeah, You want people to think that you just don't care
Hey, you can be with me 'cause I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're perfect
Who will always make you cum
Hey, you can be with me
I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
[Spoken]
Can you believe he said that to me?!?
To me, of all people!
I can't even remember the last time when a guy took me out on a date and actually paid for it
[Sung]
This is going to sound a little bit out there
Yeah this is going to sound a little insane
But I keep having the same dream
You will be the mother of my children someday
Someday...
I've heard you sleep with that obnoxoius guy
I know he is in that famous band
You look so sad when you are with him
Yes, I never see him reach to hold your hand
You can be with me, yes I will treat you like a queen
I will go to all those chick flick movies
That I really don't want to see
You can be with me
No I will never let you down
I will never make out with your girlfriends
When I know you're not around
You can be with me
Yeah I just might be the one who will treat you like you're special
I will always make you cum
You can be with me
I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
[Spoken]
Can you believe this?
I mean, can this be for real?!?
Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away
I mean, WOW
But you know, the weird thing is, he's actually kinda cute
In a really intense way, kinda like Perry Farrell
Intense but sensitive, anyway I told my bitchy sister about it
And she just laughed at me, I told her I was really exited about this guy
I said this could be the guy

Wonderful Lyrics

[Intro: Children]
"Hey, ain't life wonderful? Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... Isn't it wonderful now?"
[Verse 1: Art]
I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
[Verse 2: Art]
Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday
[Pre-Chorus: Art]
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now
[Chorus: Band and Art]
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
[Verse 3: Art]
I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home
Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday
[Pre-Chorus: Art]
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big (so big)
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
[Chorus: Band and Art]
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na

No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na, na
[Bridge: Art]
I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No (No) No (No) No (No) No!
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No (No) No (No) No (No) No!
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything (Everything)
I hate everything (Everything)
Everyone and everything (Everything)
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

Out of My Depth Lyrics

3 ContributorsOut Of My Depth LyricsOut of my depth
Lost in the air
Fallin faster
Like a broken elevator
Out of my depth
Lost in the dark
Waitin for that other shoe
To come down hard
I can not communicate
Like i wish i could
I do not deal with my problems
Like i know i should
I am out of my depth
I am out of my league
Watchin everythin
Just slip away from me
Something bad is gonna happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise
I am in over my head
I am in too deep & over my head
Yeh i guess i should keep my opinions to myself
I guess im out of my depth
Out of my depth
Right from the start
I feel like i was born
With an invisible heart
Out of my depth
Seems like every single day
I can't find the words
To make the good things come way
Yes i feel like i am fakin it
I feel like i am wrong
I feel like im a guest
Like i just do not belong
I am out of my depth
Every single day
I just cannot find the words
To make my monsters go away
Somethin bad is gonna happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise
I am in too deep yeh over my head
Yes im in too deep & over my head
I should seek some professional help
Cos im out of my depth, yes im out of death
& im slowly going out of my mind
Ahh go away
Make them go away
Some day i know
I will make them go away
Make them go away
Make them go away
Some day i know
I will make my monsters go away
I am in over my head
I should seek some professional help
I should keep my opinions to myself
I guess im out of my depth
Im outta my depth
Im outta my depth
Im outta my, oh, oh, waohhhh
Yes im slowly goin out of my mind
