I Just Want to Have Something to Do Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hanging out of Second Avenue

Eating chicken vindaloo

I just want to be with you

I just want to have something to do

[Chorus]

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, well alright!

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Wait! Now!

[Verse 2]

Hanging out all by myself

I don't want to be with anybody else

I just want to be with you

I just want to have something to do

[Chorus]

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, well alright!

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Wait! Now!

[Verse 2]

Hanging out all by myself

I don't want to be with anybody else

I just want to be with you

I just want to have something to do

[Chorus]

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, well alright!

Tonight, tonight, tonight

I Wanted Everything Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I heard about the Easter Bunny

Presents under a Christmas tree

It was dreaming and fantasy

There was no Mom or Daddy

[Chorus]

I wanted everything

[Verse 2]

I had the world on my shoulder

But I was getting older

Knew I was ready for it

Some kind of employment

[Chorus]

I wanted everything

[Verse 3]

All day working on a truck

Bringing the groceries up

Not much of a salary

No tip for the delivery

[Chorus]

I wanted everything

[Verse 4]

There's no success for me

Involved in a robbery

There's money in the supermarket

And I'm going after it

I wanted everything

Don’t Come Close Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You know it's generally known

You got everything at home

Kisses out of desperation

Bring you more aggravation

[Chorus]

And you don't come close

You don't come close

[Verse 2]

You bring out your souvenirs

Soak them wet with your tears

You lose your imagination

Out of more aggravation

[Chorus]

And you don't come close

You don't come close

[Bridge]

You turn red with rage

But act your age

Only thing that you regret

You need more time to forget

[Chorus]

And you don't come close

You don't come close

[Outro]

And you don't come close

You don't come close

I Don’t Want You Lyrics

[Verse]

You said that you'd be true

Baby said that you'd be true

I don't care, I don't care

[Chorus]

I don't want you

Don't want you

I don't want you anymore

[Verse]

You said that you'd be mine

Baby said that you'd be mine

I don't care, I don't care

[Chorus]

I don't want you

Don't want you

I won't want you

[Bridge]

I want you I want you to stay

But I guess that it just can't be that way

[Verse]

You said that you'd be true

Baby said that you'd be true

I don't care, I don't care

[Chorus]

I don't want you

Don't want you

I don't want you

Don't want you

I don't want you

Don't want you

Needles & Pins Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I saw her today

I saw her face, it was a face I loved

And I knew I had to run away, yeah

And get down on my knees and pray, yeah

That they'd go away

[Chorus]

Still it begins-a

Needles and pins-a

Because of all my pride

The tears I gotta hide

[Verse 2]

Oh, I thought I was smart

I'd steal her heart, didn't think I'd do

But now I see, she's worse to him than me

Let her go ahead, take his love instead

And one day she will see just how to say please

And get down on her knees

Oh, that's how it begins-a

She'll feel those needles and pins

Hurting her, hurting her

[Hook]

Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong

I'm wrong, so wrong

Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong

[Verse 1]

Because I saw her today

I saw her face, it was a face I loved

And I knew I had to run away, yeah

And get down on my knees and pray, yeah

That they'd go away

[Chorus]

Still it begins-a

Needles and pins-a

Because of all my pride

The tears I gotta hide

[Outro]

Hey, Needles and pins-a

Needles and pins-a

I’m Against It Lyrics

[Chorus]

Well, I'm against it

I'm against it

Well, I'm against it

I'm against it

[Verse 1]

I don't like politics

I don't like Communists

I don't like games and fun

I don't like anyone

[Chorus]

Well I'm against it

I'm against it

Well, I'm against it

I'm against it

[Verse 2]

I don't like Jesus freaks

I don't like circus geeks

I don't like summer and spring

I don't like anything

I don't like sex and drugs

I don't like water bugs

I don't care about poverty

All I care about is me

[Chorus]

Well I'm against it

I'm against it

Well I'm against it

I'm against it

[Verse 3]

I don't like playing ping pong

I don't like the Viet Cong

I don't like Burger King

I don't like anything

[Chorus]

And I'm against it

I'm against it

Well, I'm against it

I'm against it

Well, I'm against it

I'm against it

I Wanna Be Sedated Lyrics

[Chorus]

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go

I wanna be sedated

Nothin' to do, nowhere to go-ho

I wanna be sedated

[Verse 1]

Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane

Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane

I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain

Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, ho

[Chorus]

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go

I wanna be sedated

Nothin' to do, nowhere to go-ho

I wanna be sedated

[Verse 2]

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane

Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane

I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain

Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go

I wanna be sedated

Nothin' to do, nowhere to go-ho

I wanna be sedated

[Verse 3]

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show

Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go loco

I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes

Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, ho

[Chorus]

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go

I wanna be sedated

Nothin' to do, nowhere to go-ho

I wanna be sedated

[Verse 3]

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show

Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go loco

I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes

Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, ho

[Outro]

Bah, bah, ba-bah, ba-bah, bah, ba-bah

I wanna be sedated

Bah, bah, ba-bah, ba-bah, bah, ba-bah

I wanna be sedated

Bah, bah, ba-bah, ba-bah, bah, ba-bah

I wanna be sedated

Bah, bah, ba-bah, ba-bah, bah, ba-bah

I wanna be sedated

Go Mental Lyrics

[Chorus]

I've gone mental

[Verse]

Out of the hospital

Out against my will

Life is so beautiful

I've gone mental

Mental mental

[Verse]

I've killed my family

They thought I was an oddity

Life is so beautiful

I am a vegetable

Mental mental

[Chorus]

I've gone mental

Staring at my goldfish bowl

Popping phenobarbital

Life is so beautiful

I've gone mental

Mental mental

[Verse]

Sitting on my window sill

Life is so beautiful

I've become irrational

I've gone mental

Mental mental

[Chorus]

I've gone mental

Questioningly Lyrics

[Chorus 1]

Questioningly

Her eyes looked at me

And then she spoke

Aren't you someone I used to know

And weren't we lovers a long time ago?

[Pre-Chorus]

Looked at her close

Forced her into view

Yes I said, you're a girl

That I once may have knew

[Chorus 2]

But I don't love you anymore

What do you want to talk to me for?

You should have just let me walk by

Memories make us cry

[Verse]

In the morning

I'm at work on time

My boss he tells me

That I'm doing fine

When I'm going home

Whiskey bottles, movie on TV

Memories make me cry

And I'm alone just me

Just me

Questioningly

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2]

But I don't love you anymore

Why do you want to talk to me for?

You should have just let me walk by

Memories make us cry

[Pre-Chorus]

Looked at her close

Forced her into view

Yes I said, you're a girl

That I once may have knew

[Chorus 1]

Questioningly

Her eyes looked at me

And then she spoke

Aren't you someone I used to know

And weren't we lovers a long time ago?

I used to be an A student

I never used to complain

I used to be a truant

I used to drink champagne

Now I'm beginning to feel the strain

I used to have pleasure and pain

I used to have a name

Now I'm on the Bowery

I can't remember my name

Bad bad brain

Bad bad brain, bad bad brain
