THE KIND OF DAY I'VE HAD
JUMP!! Been bored... ooh ahh ohh
I did all the work, my boss got the perks today
I cleaned up the crap, my boss got the cash today
I painted my nails, they told me I was a queer
They kicked in my head and told me to disappear
I'm outta here coz...
The kind of day I've had
It can't get any worse
It feels like I've been born under a bad sign
And I've gotta break the curse
This is a nice place to work, so smile and take it on the chin
He is my supervisor, I must obey him
He is my master, I am his worthless slave
I made a mistake, he took it out of my pay
That's okay! Coz...
The kinda day I've had
It can't get any worse
It feels like I've been born under a bad sign
And I've gotta break the curse
The kind of day I've had
I should've stayed away
I should've stayed at home watching children's television
It's been that kind of day...
Stare at the clock...
Stare at the clock...
Stare at the clock...
Stare at the clock...
Stare at the clock...
Stare at the clock...
Stare at the clock... AH!
The kinda day I've had
It can't get any worse
It feels like I've been born under a bad sign
And I've gotta break the curse
The kind of day I've had
I should've stayed away
I should've stayed at home watching children's television
It's been that kind of day...
The kind of day I've had
I should've stayed away...
The kind of day I've had
I should've stayed away...
The kind of day I've had
I should've stayed away...
The kind of day I've had
I should've stayed away...
See my brother made it in life, he sells windmills to major golf courses
But I'm just pushing buttons like a freakin' chimpanzee
I wanna dance, I wanna be a dancer
Nothing's gonna stop me...
EVERYTHING
So what if I dont want to be like you a slave
Working to the bone for a cheque on a friday
Condemned to join the family business like my dad
So what if i don't want to go school and be a fool
Driven by a brainwashed system
Like a first kiss or a disgruntled mistress
I can't handle this...
Everything I do
Sucks me into you
Who made you the judge
Of everything I do... do... yeah
A typical faze, lust crazed
Getting sick of the sin
I commit like a hypocrite and the aching and the no direction
So what if I want to be a virgin and not do pills or felonys
I don't want to go to jail and get my butt groped by an ape
By mistake, on our first date and get dazed
Everything I do
Sucks me into you
Who made you the judge
Of everything I do... do...
I'm getting scared about the people on T.V
Don't want to live and die for the treasures that they seek
I wanna wreck my town, wanna live up in the trees...aaah..
Everything I do
Sucks me into you
Who made you the judge
Of everything I do...
Everything I do
Sucks me into you
Who made you the judge
Of everything I do...
CAUGHT ME IN A TRAP
Nothing, nothing is going on in my mind
All the I know is I'm getting nothing done
Getting nothing done
Wasted, roaming the highways and feeling low
Wasting my life and I'm getting nothing done
Getting nothing done
And it's caught me in a trap, there's no going back
Future up ahead, I am on the rack
Pulling out my hair, but it's making it worse
Coz everyday I live is another day wasted
Woooo, hey! c'mon...
Lessons, lessons I've learned in my history
Have had no effect and I'm getting nothing done
Getting nothing done
My schoolbooks, taught me to think like the multitudes
And I'm just a clone and I'm getting nothing done
Getting nothing done
And it's caught me in a trap, there's no going back
Future up ahead, I am on the rack
Pulling out my hair, but it's making it worse
Coz everyday I live is another day wasted
Caught me in a trap, there's no going back
Future up ahead, I am on the rack
Pulling out my hair, but it's making it worse
Coz everyday I live is another day wasted
On Monday, I get my dole and go to bed, yeah
On Tuesday, skip work and watch TV instead, yeah
On Wednesday, I go out walking in the rain
And then comes Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Monday comes again...
And it's caught me in a trap, there's no going back
Future up ahead, I am on the rack
Pulling out my hair, but it's making it worse
Coz everyday I live is another day wasted
Caught me in a trap, there's no going back
Future up ahead, I am on the rack
Pulling out my hair, but it's making it worse
Coz everyday I live is another day wasted
Another day wasted
Another day wasted
Another day wasted, Woo!
Another day wasted
UNTIL MY SHIP COMES IN
Loneliness, plays it's wicked game with me
Maybe I'll be saved, but I have nothing to believe
With no-one in my arms, underneth a quiet sky
And nothing in my heart, a nothing symphony
The lonely people sail the sea
There'll be a storm inside of me
Until my ship comes in
All I have is what I am
On this island I will roam
Until my ship comes in
The radio... plays the same six songs a day
Automatic words... cruel and comforting to me
Everything is bleak... people-less, hollow and concrete
Staring at the sea... but my thoughts are far from me
The lonely people sail the sea
There'll be a storm inside of me
Until my ship comes in
All I have is what I am
On this island I will roam
Until my ship comes in
I was giving it a little more time
I was giving it a little more time
I was giving it a little more time
But things don't seem to be getting better
I was giving it a little more time
I was giving it a little more time
I was giving it a little more time
But things don't seem to be getting better
The lonely people sail the sea
There'll be a storm inside of me
Until my ship comes in
All I have is what I am
On this island I will roam
Until my ship comes in
The lonely people sail the sea
There'll be a storm inside of me
Until my ship comes in
All I have is what I am
On this island I will roam
Until my ship comes in
CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY THOUGHTS
Come! huh! uh! ohhhh, yeah!
Why do you smile like that when you look at me?
When you know I can't have you
Why do your glances seem like advances?
is it just me? man I think I'm going crazy
It aches in my heart, with my friends I'm always acting so cool
But I would sell out if only to be closer to you
Cause there's nothing I can do...
I can't get you out of my thoughts, or out of my heart
And I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do, leads me back to you
You gotta know that you're driving me craaaaaazy, ooh
Look at me girl I'm a fool, I make you smile
But I know I can't have you
And I stare at the stars, wishing you weren't so far from my arms
Not alone, but I'm sick of feeling lonely
I tried to love someone else and everyday I try to be true
It only make me feel worse
cause all I do is think about you
And there's nothing I can do....
I can't get you out of my thoughts, or out of my heart
And I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do, leads me back to you
You gotta know that you're driving me crazy
I can't get you out of my thoughts, or out of my heart

KILLING ME WITH KINDNESS
Turned down three crap jobs, now they're cutting off my money
And they only say they do it coz they know what's best for me
Mum and Dad wanting me to sell my brains to a factory
Oh it feels so good, all these people looking out for me, yeah
Now they're getting on my back because they know best
But I know I'm better than settling for less
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're my friend... friend
I've got a box full of reject letters worded carefully
Tearing out my heart with a smile and a handshake
They don't have faith, I can learn to make a milkshake, yeah
And they tear down the park and build a fast food earthquake
I couldn't stop laughing as the businessman stood
Telling us progress could only do good
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend... friend
You can kill with a briefcase, or a pen and dotted line
Or a kick in the balls - OW!
If it's at the right time
But I know people, who will stab you in the back
And pregnant schoolgirls, who gave their dad a heartattack, yeah
But if something's killing me, it's my lack of meaning
Everybody's smiling but I don't have any feelings
I'm not breaking down on account of executive stress, ah!
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend
They're killing me with kindness, again
Everybody says they're your friend
LONELY HEARTS COMPANY
Sometimes I'm sad and I don't know why
I sit under the stars and I almost cry
And at times like these, you know, I'm lonely and I wanna die
When you're looking for a cigarette to ease your pain
And your life's a drag and you work in vain
Burn down your office and walk out into the rain
Life is short, you've gotta look around
Pretty soon, you'll be all grown up
With dead-eyed kids and a life of hell
Stick with me and you'll feel swell
Lonely heart's company
Selling shares in sympathy
Lonely hearts company
Share with me your misery...
Do do do do, do do do do do
Do do do do, do do do do do do do
Do do do do, do do do do do do do
Well I don't like to smoke, coz it takes your cash
And I don't roll notes, coz I ain't that flash
But at times like these, you know, I feel like getting trashed
Yet the thing about you is that you see me through
And I can sit around and just talk to you
This world is such a cynical place, people can be so cruel...
Life is short, you've got to look around
Pretty soon, you'll be all grown up
With dead-eyed kids and a life of hell
Stick with me and you'll feel swell
Lonely heart's company
Selling shares in sympathy
Lonely hearts company
Share with me your misery...
Lonely heart's company
Selling shares in sympathy
Lonely hearts company
Share with me your misery...
YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME
Mum felt fine, wanting to kill the family before the news
Shes the ruler of the prozac kingdom
Her appliances and phoney conversations
Talk to your mum, Wendy
Even if she seems distant lately
Its just the sunshine in her eyes
The weather that the doctor prescribed
And Wendy's warming her hands on the flame
The Halversons will never be the same, woah oh oh
You do something to me
You do something to me
You do something to me all the time...
Dad was sick, he got his fingers burnt getting close to an old flame
Wonders why his wife cries all the time
Wonders why he cant find peace of mind
You cant expect your kids to turn out fine
When you're playing with matches
Another tragic fall from success
Nero fiddles on, enchanted
Wendy's warming her hands on the flames
The Halversons will never be the same, woah oh oh
You do something to me
You do something to me
You do something to me all the time....
You do something to me
You do something to me
You do something to me all the time.... (all the time)
He wanders, godlike, through the ruins of his private world
Lights up a joint and wendy slips away
Looks for redemption in her hazel eyes
And cries, all the time.... woah oh oh
You do something to me
You do something to me
You do something to me all the time....
You do something to me
You do something to me
You do something to me all the time.... (all the time)
Woo hoo hoo... all the time...
Woo hoo hoo... all the time...
Woo hoo hoo... all the time...
Woo hoo hoo... all the time...
Woo hoo hoo... all the time...
Woo hoo hoo... all the time...
Woo hoo hoo... all the time...
Woo hoo...

SETTING SAIL
Sitting on the train, staring at the empty seat in front of me
Beneath the golden sky, cities roll on by and I can't get no sleep
When I'm alone sometimes
I try to understand
What things have meaning
And I despise myself
For being such a fake
My mind goes on for miles and miles and miles and miles
Sail away, with the sea as my engine
And the stars as my guide
Sailing to the other side
Sail away, with the sea as my engine
And the stars as my guide
Sailing to the other side
On a stormy night, walking home in silence while the city sleeps
I try to do what's right, but something in my nature's trying to ruin me
I look out to the sea
A thousand just like me
Needing direction
Just floating out of sight
Into the failing light
As if it's just the way my life is meant to be
Sail away, with the sea as my engine
And the stars as my guide
Sailing to the other side
Sail away, with the sea as my engine
And the stars as my guide
Sailing to the other side
I'm setting sail to the other side
I'm setting sail to the other side
I'm setting sail to the other side
I'm setting sail...
The sun goes down and I smile but it's just the same
Our summer is about to end, and I don't know if it's gonna be alright
Everyone's down, and the town is in decay
We're wasting our lives away
And I don't know if it's gonna be alright
