DANCE HALL CRASHERS - HONEY I'M HOMELY (1997)
Lost again, somebody tell me how to get there.
Cause I can't take another hand shake
Or another blank stare
Thought I knew what I had to do to get through to you
Guess your head is thicker than I thought
You know I am starting to think that it might be you
Cause I know you've got a lot of things
And people you look too
Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me?
I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me
I know where I wanna go
But I just don't know
No, I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go
But I just don't know
No, I just don't know how to get there
Lost again somebody tell me how to get there
If I hit another detour I'm afraid that I won't care
Who'd have thought that I'd have bought the expectations
That gold raid probably just leads straight to hell
And once I'm there are you gonna care or conveniently look away?
I don't think I want us to fall off and die that way
Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me
I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me
I know where I wanna go
But I just don't know
No, I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go
But I just don't know
No, I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go
But I just don't know
No, I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go
But I just don't know
No, I just don't know how to get there
Do you, do you, do you
Do you, do you, do you
Tell me if you do!
Is it ever gonna come
I want to believe I can't really see
Cause I'm afraid to even lift my head up
If I look for you are you gonna be gone?
I want to jump ahead and just run so it'll be done
I'm stuck - I can't get up
I want to but I can't stop the chase
Want to win the race
I know - it's all a show
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
I never thought it'd be more than this
But you promised me and unfortunately
I bought it completely although
After I wake up I'm sure that I'll know
That today was just the rest of my life
I'm not gonna die sitting there hoping that I
Can someday come and claim the ring
It's not anything I know or want to become
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow come, I just want to know
Will I be happy tomorrow
Will I be happy tomorrow
Will I be happy tomorrow
I want to know if I've got a reason
To keep hanging on when I want to let go
I want to know if you actually mean it
Or is it just part of a much bigger show?
Cause I'm not gonna just lay down
While I slowly drown
I never agreed to that
And I'm not gonna hold my breath
Till there's nothing left
I'd start laughing anyway
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but will it ever come?
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow ever come, I just want to know
Will I be happy tomorrow
Will I be happy tomorrow
Will I be happy tomorrow
You're the one I've been waiting on
What took you, what took you so long
I'd just about given up on this
Oh yeah, oh yeah don't you wish
That you could go and forget about me
Thought that, but that'd be too easy
Don't you know that you're all mine
Mine until, til the end of time
Because now I've got you and I'm never gonna let you go
You can try to run just remember that I told you so
I look at you and I see myself
Oh boy, boy do you need help
Cause you mind's as twisted as mine
Never thought, never thought I'd find
Any man that could get me to bite
At least very, at least every night
So I'm afraid you're stuck with me
Hope that makes you, hope that makes you happy
Because now I've got you and I'm never gonna let you go
You can try to run just remember that I told you so
You're the one I've been waiting on
What took you, what took you so long
I'd just about given up on this
Oh yeah, oh yeah don't you wish
That you could go and forget about me
But that, but that'd be too easy
Better be ready to be only mine
Mine until, til the end of
Mine until the end of time
Beacuse now I've got you and I'm never gonna let you go
You can try to run just remember that I told you so
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you for myself
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you for myself
Gonna keep you, gonna keep you for myself
Never letting you go
Give yourself a little competition I can see it flaring up in your eyes
Give yourself a moment to remember all the trailing loose ends you've left behind
And I, keep on a wondering how all the walls around you have kept so high
Give yourself a little competition, it's the only thing that will get you by
Keep the wound salted, oh oh oh
It's what you've always wanted, , oh oh oh
Keep the wound salted, oh oh oh
Suddenly you've lost communication and you swear that it's all her mistake
But you must really like this situation cause the clean break you wanted is now in your face
She looked at you, then at the room, then at the state she's been living in
And suddenly you're in a new position as the views you held so highly fade
Keep the wound salted, oh oh oh
It's what you've always wanted, oh oh oh
Keep the wound salted, oh oh oh
Just say goodbye, don't look back...whoa
Give us all a little more emotion we can see it welling up in your eyes
And we can see your fur is getting thicker as you show no signs of compromise
But don't go running back when you realize that nobody's buying into your lies
Then give yourself a little more opinion cause we know you'll never choose to rectify
Keep the wound salted, oh oh oh
It's what you've always wanted, oh oh oh
Keep the wound salted, oh oh oh
Just say goodbye don't look back
Try to pretend that you are comfortable
I guess I know you better than you think
Try to pretend that you are far away
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink
How could you try to forget what we once had
Better not tell anyone it was bad
Sorry I can't get any further away
You better deal cause I'm gonna stay
Next to you, I never wanted to, but now that I'm
Next to you, I just can't help myself being
Next to you, there isn't anyone else
That I would rather do
Try to pretend that you don't get a small chill
Every single time that I pass you
Try to pretend that you don't want a big thrill
Even half as much as I know you do
I knew you couldn't forget what you once had
Even though it ended so awfully bad
I'm sure the second round won't end the same way
You'd better hope cause I'm gonna stay
Next to you, I never wanted to, but now that I'm
Next to you, I just can't help myself being
Next to you, there isn't anyone else
That I would rather do
Try to pretend that you are comfortable
I guess I know you better than you think
Try to pretend that you are far away
I guess I better buy you a stiff drink
Don't think of running away cause I'll catch you
And make you sorrier than you ever knew
I know I've lost it - I don't care, so anyway
You'd better deal cause I'm gonna stay
Next to you, I never wanted to, but now that I'm
Next to you, I just can't help myself being
Next to you, there isn't anyone else
That I would rather do
Next to you, next to you, next to you, next to you.
I do believe there's something more out there
I do believe that I'm not the only one
Who looks around and feels overcome
So much to do and too many choices
Which one will be the road that becomes my own?
Should I act or should I take it slow?
'Cause when the nagging feeling takes hold
I have to leave it alone, ooh
Well I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Sweet little girl dreamed of the day when
She'd stand up tall and tell the whole world her plan
Her voice would shine as she takes command
Now she'll be heard, she's got the forum
It has arrived, this moment is here for her
But she finds it doesn't matter
Well she's got nothing to say now that this day has come, ooh
Well I'm speechless and tongue tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well I'm speechless and tongue tied
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Living day by day gets harder to face
When all the questions drive you insane
Pick one up, throw it into the sky
I wanna feel free and have fun
'Cause that's what it really means
To be young
I bring it on and drive myself crazy
I want it all and then I want no-one's help
I need to make it by myself
And if I achieve what I think I wanted
Will I receive a medal of happiness?
Will it make my confusion less?
'Cause when the nagging feeling takes hold
I have to leave it alone, oh
Well I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
Well I'm anxious and restless
I guess that's what it's like to be young
When you walked by I saw a small tear in your eye
Lifted you up and threw you into the sun
When you returned, you were a little burned
But you learned the secret of it all
And you thought that you would burn
But that'd be too easy
It was only the end of the beginning
Cause now it can be Elvis and me
I thought you knew what it was that I had to do
Never occurred that you would just roll over
I had to go, not very long though you know
Guess for you it was an eternity
And if you think you've got it now
Go start your crying
It's gonna be different when I'm home
Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me
It's just Elvis and me
It's gonna be Elvis and me
Just Elvis and me
Just Elvis and me
So if you think you've got it now
Go start your crying
It's gonna be different when I'm home
Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me
I wish I could fix it so that you understood
If I cracked my head it would bleed like mercury
The pieces of the poison raining above
Won't touch you now
I'll never let it again
So if you think you've got it now
Continue your crying
It's gonna be different when I'm home
Cause it's gonna be Elvis and me
It's just Elvis and me
It's always been Elvis and me
Just Elvis and me
In the back room of the bar, crusty fingernails I saw him
Everything was hidden by all the greasy hair he was in
Never looking up, he seemed so sad I tried to offer him
My shot of whiskey but he said I only drink gin
We sat there quietly purposely ignoring the room
He smiled whistfully, his shirt was dirty and torn
Everlasting glances like open-ended chances
But he stole my heart when he ordered a double for me
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple me and him
Cause I drink whiskey and he only ever drinks gin
Well that's the way it is with him
Went to the ladies room, when I returned to my chair
His hands were in my bad, red-handed guilt everywhere
Took out a photo of an old Romeo
Threw it over his shoulder and rested his hand on my knee
We played these games where we go through the whole alphabet
He's have an Adam & Eve and I had a Dixie Julep
Went through an Artillery, Caruso, and a Diamond Fizz
Fallen Angel, Green Dragon, ending with a kiss in the dark
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple me and him
Cause I drink whiskey and he only ever drinks gin
Last call came right at one, glasses were empty and dry
We got our second wind but all we had was a dime
Didn't even seem to care, the bartender unaware
We jumped over the counter, took off with our hands full of booze
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple me and him
Cause I drink whiskey and he only ever drinks
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple me and him
Cause I drink whiskey and he only ever drinks gin
He only drinks gin
If you could would you go and lock the door?
If you could would you crawl along the floor?
Would you give in to what I know you want or will you leave alone tonight?
If I asked would you want to walk me home?
Would I be safer if I was alone?
I wish I could tell you what I want from you
I would if I knew
I want you more
More than I ever thought I would
I want you more
More than I ever should
On the days when you act like you don't care
Well I know you, so wipe that icy stare
Off your face, I know it's all a game with you
What else can you do?
Do you know that I think of you in bed?
And that sometimes I wish you were dead
I'd be better off if you were gone but will it ever really be done?
I want you more
More than I ever thought I would
I want you more
More than I ever should
Do you think that you'll ever walk away?
It might make it easier that way
Well go on, I dare you, try to walk away and think about yesterday
Have you got it clearly in your mind
Get it straight because you're gonna find
That by the time you turn around it's too late and I won't be found
I want you more
More than I ever thought I would
I want you more
More than I ever, more than I ever should
I want you more
More than I ever thought I would
I want you more
More than I ever, more than I ever should
Don't try selling me your heartbreak
Cause I can't take another sales pitch
You don't want to be the last one
Who's no fun
The one that's always left behind
I know it's hard
To see clearly all the time
So go do what you want
And I'll try hard to be more understanding
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just want to be there to see the last laugh
I'll try killing you with kindness
Forget the mindless things I might have said
And I won't try to catch you or stop you
From doing what you think is right
I'll look the other way
And maybe I was wrong this one time
It's got to be hard
When the rest of the world's gone crazy around you
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just want to be there to see the last laugh
Back and forth you swing
From routine to obscene
And I know that you're just like me
And that's exactly what I like about you
I guess I'm probably insane too
By four is what I'd use to smack you upside your head
Cause you drive me crazy
So don't keep singing me your sad song
It's been so long
Since I've gotten through and
I'm not gonna be the last one who's no fun
The one that's always left behind
Don't get me wrong
When I don't tell you what you want to hear
And go do what you want
And I'll try hard to be more understanding
But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just want to be there to see the last laugh
You've had all the breaks
Learning from your mum's mistakes
Eating off your daddy's plate
Spending all your wasted taste
You can't see past your gate
Once I saw you dip your toe
Past the line at the end of the road
But frightened you came running home
You've had all the luck
They fought it out for you
Without them you'd be stuck
They held your hand to walk through
Don't forget you're bored
And that's your only problem
Times for you ain't tough
Just try showing them some gratitude
Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing?
Hey there Mr. Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue
Inside your white fence
The glass house you've created
Things are getting tense
Don't feel appreciated
Glance out of your window
It looks like sun to me
But you just count the clouds
Sigh and beg for sympathy
Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing?
Hey there Mr. Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue
You could sit there forever
Blaming others but never
Allowing things to get better
You keep trying
But maybe you should just give up
Oh quit your whining
It's so boring
Play the victim and
Keep me yawning
How do you expect me to believe the scene that you're describing?
Hey there Mr. Blue
I'm hurting just by listening to what you've been through
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue
Hey there Mr. Blue
Hey there Mr. Blue
Poor baby, oh what did they do to you
Whoa poor old Mr. Blue
Jot down the words you want me to say
Make sure they don't conflict with mine in any way
Make them sound good
Remember the laws that apply
I gave you a buck it's my right to decide
Pretend your life is squeaky clean
Pure as the virgin you think your daughter is
She laughs in your face
As you bring your speech to a close
But she's doing it under your nose
I don't care who you want to pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
You used to wear your pretty clothes
Now that the scruff is in, you're left what you used to know
But here comes your rules
The fashion police are in
And suddenly your politics are changing again
Idolize and criticize
Push them in the right direction to paradise
Praise them with guilt
Distinguish the weak from the strong
But knowing that we end up the same in the long run
I don't care who you want to pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
The position you had may be lost
The position you had may be lost
The position you had may be lost
The position you had may be lost
The position you had may be lost
The position you had may be lost
The position you had may be lost
I don't care who you want to pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
I don't care who you want to pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to your own life
I'd really rather be alone
I'd really rather be on my own
What part of no don't you understand
Won't you just let go of my hand
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Don't think I'm coming off as rude
I really like this solitude
My company suits me just fine
In fact I think it's quite divine
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Hey, I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
I know you claim I'm being vague
But I'm afraid it's not that way
You can come over, don't stay long
Call me next week cause I'll be gone
Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Hey, I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
I'm building up my barricade
I'd rather if you don't invade
I'm sick of all this obligation
Do you really need more explanation
Maybe this time you will finally see that
Hey, I love to hear myself talk
I'm my own favorite audience
Cause I'm the funniest person I know
If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
Hey, hey
Tell me about what you think today
What are you doing
What do you want to say
Tell me about what's been going on
Where have you been, thought you were gone
Tell me what you can't tell me about
I won't listen but I'll tell them all anyhow
Tell me what you really want to say
I don't care, I'll ask anyway
What do you think about what they all did
Say something bad
What do you really want to admit
You can tell me I won't say a word
Trust me, I won't tell the world
Won't tell them what you did last night
Won't tell them why you started that really big fight
Or why you ran out that time
It's none of my business, but I'm gonna make it mine
You keep talking
And I'll keep listening
But really it's the same, it's the same old story
Tell me about how it all went wrong
Who do you blame
Who from your world is gone
You know I've been through it too
It's off the record I promise you
So tell me all of the private things
What's there to know
Tell me who gave you that ring
What about your private line
Won't give it out, at least not this time
You keep talking
And I'll keep listening
But really it's the same, it's the same old story
I don't care what you want me to say
You're gonna write
What you want to anyway
Why are you wasting time on me
Just write what you want me to be
Cause I don't care what you want me to say
It's the same old story
Who's gonna care anyway
Promise me you won't ask about
Being a girl in a rock world
Stopped taking pictures long ago
We'll probably be there tomorrow
I guess I'm having fun, I don't know
It's hard to tell anymore
Don't panic from the static in the air, it's not there
It's just a subtle form of insanity
Nobody ever warned us that our heads would start to rot
As we see everything repeating
Can't stand no more
It's never ending
Can't stand anymore
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
Late night TV is such a bore
Seems like I've seen this all before
Don't know if I can take this anymore
I think my mind is going
Nothing's funny but my smile is glued on
I don't bother taking it off at night
Nobody ever warned me that my head would start to rot
Where's a poltergeist when you need it
Can't stand no more
It's never ending
Can't stand anymore
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
Can't stand no more
It's never ending
Can't stand anymore
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
I'm gonna go lay down in front of the tires
Be a doll and get some chicken wire
Tie me up in case I change my mind
Trust me you'll join me in time
As much as you think I'm being too dramatic
You'll be the only one hearing static
You know I'm joking but then again at least it
Couldn't happen all over again
Can't stand no more
It's never ending
Can't stand anymore
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
Love you, mean it
But it's never ending
Love you, really mean it
Let's go do it over again
Let's go do it over again
