Old Judge Brown only just met his future wife·he pointed a gun to her head telling her to leave the farm behind··she wouldn’t come along with him·she wouldn’t come along·she wouldn’t leave her home for him·she wouldn’t come along··but old Judge Brown didn't wanna change his mind·he dragged her along by the arm telling her to leave the past behind··she bit his hand and pulled away·she wouldn’t come along·whatever he would do or say·she wouldn’t come along··so old Judge Brown had to shoot her in the head·if she couldn’t be his alone he would rather see her dead··she isn’t coming back to him·she isn’t coming home·she’s never coming back to him·she’s leaving him alone··he’d had it all planned out·taking a trip to the south·dancing and skipping about·high on happiness··and honeymoon unrest·taking a trip to the north·checking out all the resorts·and never going back home··he’d had it all planned out·taking a trip to east·every night they would feast on their loving··but he couldn’t quite tell her that

Mine

Just picture yourself·five or ten years from now·you might find that·I’m someone you could live without·and every night·what are you dreaming about·somebody else in my place·who’s always around··and you’re gonna make·a fine wife·for someone who truly adores you·and treats you better than I do·all of the time··last night in a dream·I met you out in the street·and when you said to me·long time no see·I wondered why·it was then that I saw·somebody else by your side·and I realized that we were through·and that he’s the new guy··and you’re gonna get married someday··the time we spend together is slowly running out·for I’m the kind of person you’re happier without·but I will come and get you back when you are 35·it isn’t gonna matter if you’re somebody’s wife·and I’ll make you say you love me every other night·and I won't care if it's true ‘cause you're mine

Nothing
02:04
|

|
I’ve got nothing to say for myself··half the time I’m wondering how you do·I sure hope you’re better on your own··all because I tried to get it right·all because I tried to find a new home·all because I tried to get by·all because I’m just a jealous guy··I’ve got nothing to say for myself

New Start
04:08
|

|
Back in Daisy Town·there was no one else around·at least there was no one that I would have liked to be friends with·every other day·we would hang out at your place·I would bring beers and you’d play me your records all night··all of the beautiful time that we spent·holding each other’s brochures in our hands·we couldn’t quite make up our minds and try love·we’d consider·and reconsider·inconsiderately··I thought it was time that we had it out·I wanted to know what this game is about·I thought you should know how I feel·and maybe you could tell me what’s the deal··with all of the nights that we spent in your bed·later agreeing we’d have to forget·why couldn’t we make up our minds and try love··all of your replies·are apologies and lies·but I don't care no more··‘cause tonight we’ve got a new problem·you fell in love with someone you met on the weekend·and I should have known from the start·that would only disable my heart in the long run··I just didn’t think it would happen so soon·and now I don’t know what I’m supposed to do·when everyone would agree·I’m not the kid that I used to be·I don’t wanna have another breakdown·I want you to know that I won’t be around·for messing about anymore·I kill the lights and I’m out the door··when I would have liked to stay here·but as it turns out that never appealed to you·and you wanna take the new chance·you can’t be blamed·not in advance maybe later·does he really care about who you are·beneath the beast that is in his bed

Drinking Problem
03:13

I wonder how I got this drinking problem·I’m scarin' all my friends away·I wonder how I got so used to lying·when I’m telling everyone that I’ll be ok··I wonder how I kept myself alive·for such a long time·when there is nothing I feel·sometimes I get so trashed·I can no longer tell the difference between·those lies and the real··it took a while·but then I realized·that I just don’t care·whatever happens to me·so I’ll take my best friends on a trip to your town·and we’ll have a couple of beers with you··half the time I walk around·I’m looking for a thing that cannot be found·emergency brakes for this town·to stop it from spinning around·after a few more beers I’ll get sick and then I’ll get better·and then a will have a few more·and I’m gonna have a few more·everyone will go to hell·and nobody’s supposed to tell·anyone else what to do·and I am not listening to you

Situation
02:52

You got away with never speaking your mind·I got the feeling I was wasting your time··and in the end it all turned out·to be what I never wanted·to be what you never wanted·to be a mess and a crying shame··so take it all off me·you know that I don’t care··the situation’s getting slightly boring·we’re tired of each other in the morning··and in the end it all turns out·to be what I never wanted·to be what you never wanted·to be mess and a crying shame··so take it all off me·don’t tell me you love me·don’t tell me that you do·‘cause I know you really don’t·and neither do I dear·so what’s going on here··so take it away and·call it a day then·there’s no need to start a fight·there’s nothing I haven’t tried·to make you feel better·I’m writing this letter·‘cause I really don’t know how·to make this easier·on you

Not Gonna Happen
02:46

Saturday night·what are you gonna do·it takes you some time to get outside·the sign overhead says Good Life Avenue·and happy new thoughts are on your mind··you’re taking a walk along the riverside·and you know just what you need tonight·it’ll take an adult to get you satisfied·it’ll take an adult to treat you right··and how could it be·I’m waiting·but you just won’t come see me··why am I only just imagining you·if you were true·then you could come see me

Ahead of Yourself
02:44
|

|
Don’t get ahead of yourself·you’re a lot like everyone else·nobody knows where they go·everyone else is a lot like you··some have a story to tell·pretending they were in it themselves·you’ve heard all the stories before·so you don’t listen to them anymore··life’s lingering by·you’re so bored living the same day over and·waiting for change when it’s just not happening··don’t be afraid of mistakes·sometimes they need to be made·so don’t ever hesitate·before you know it might be too late··but don’t try to hurry success·or you might end up making a mess·one that you might not survive·and it’s important to stay alive··don't get ahead of yourself now·don’t take the next step before the last·you’ll trip yourself··or you might end up just like me·pretending there is nothing that you need to see·nothing will ever come from being nice to everyone·if you keep your head down·you might get stuck here forever·so maybe it is time that you leave and never return

Forever and a Day
03:35

|
Don’t get me wrong now·I don’t complain I’m only saying·it’s not at all like how·it used to be back in the day (and)··I thought that I had it made·I thought that I was getting better·and all of a suddenly·I get so down and write you letters··if it took us so long·why did we get it wrong·in the first place·yeah you gotta be strong if you wanna move on·but you know I hate the race··I don't wanna get along·I don't wanna sing this song··I wanna get high in backseats of cars·and then pretend I’m far away·forever and a day··so while I am in town·I think that we should get together·we’ll only be hanging around·and maybe talk about the weather·we used to be in a band·a four-piece called The Willie Tanners·we thought we had problems then·but honestly I don’t remember··when I gave you my word·that I wouldn’t get hurt·in the first place·you considered it done·but you’re probably wrong·‘cause you know I hate the race··I don’t wanna get along·I don’t wanna sing this song··I’m gonna get high on backstage sofas·and then pretend I’m far away·forever and a day

No Good
04:34

All the wandering about without a reason·is leaving marks on everyone without a metal heart··all the friends that you have lost along your own way·were crying when they talked about what’s really on their minds··on the way to your hotel it's getting clearer·that everyone you ever knew was trying to be down··you're talking too much to yourself·you're talking to nobody else·and honestly that is no good for you··everyone is on the way to what they don’t know·so what’s the point in giving them advice on where to go··time and time again you tried to make me grow up·I never did and what is worse I wouldn’t tell you why··everyone you think you know is keeping secrets·things that are terrible you wouldn’t wanna know··I’m talking to much to myself·I’m talking to nobody else·and honestly that is no good for me
