Yellow, Blue And Green

Available on Amarillo, Azul Y Verde 7", Quetzalcoatl LP/CD, The Ecstasy Of Communication CD, Yellow, Blue And Green CDEP, You Think You're Cool CD

You can call it what you want but I don’t know,
Why the things in your garden, why they grow,
You can call me if you want,
But I don’t know if I’ll pick up the phone

I cut that photo from a Marxist magazine,
And I took my pens and added yellow, blue and green,
I wish there was an easy way to make this photo,
Just a bit more interesting, interesting, interesting

This week goes by much too, much too quick,
I thought examples would let some of my ideas stick,
But (like my idols) it’s been written with love,
And it’s been sealed with a kick, sealed with a kick

Monday morning won’t let me go back to sleep,
Telling me what I can and cannot believe,
Maybe a handgun will be my last chance,
To make that existential leap

You Almost Feel Sad

Available on Lama Temple 7" EP, Nostalgic For Nothing singles collection LP/CD

You can go out tonight,
You can see him all right,
And he's been expecting you,
You can act so aloof,
But he's not looking for proof,
Every gesture he expects from you,
He expects from you

The worst marriage of all,
You don't love him at all,
And you might even hate him at times,
Now you hear what he says,
Your last alimony check,
Now you know this is the last goodbye
The last goodbye

Now it's even and fair,
Why do you even care?
There are no good times to remember you had,
Now he walks out the door,
You won't need him anymore,
For a moment you almost feel sad,
You almost feel sad

You Feel Like A Fool

Available on My Favourite Place 7"/CDEP, Slanted CD

The trip to Washington was just a test,
Now there's a feeling of uneasiness,
How did you manage such a tangled mess?
You feel like a fool

You've taken all there is to find,
He's under your skin all the time,
But all's the same in his mind,
You feel like a fool

You left your diary out on the bed,
Did you expect that it wouldn't be read?
He finally hears you saying that love is dead,
You feel like a fool

She took all there was to take,
You thought everything was going great,
You thought wrong, such a big mistake,
You feel like a fool

You Fucking Trick

Available on Altamont 99 singles collection CD, Analysis, Yes, Very Nice 10"/CDEP, Racked 7"

You stupid shit,
You fucked-up shit,
You made your bed,
Now lie in it,
You fucking trick,
You worthless shit,
Your number’s up,
And here is it

You fucking trick,
You worthless shit,
Your number’s up,
And here is it,
You stupid shit,
You fucking trick,
You know the rules,
Now make them stick

You stupid shit,
You fucked-up shit,
You made your bed,
Now lie in it,
You fucking trick,
You worthless shit,
Your number’s up,
And here is it

You May Never

Available on Altamont 99 singles collection CD (as You Might Never), Split 7" with Less Than Jake

Every night the table's set,
She pours his beer into a glass,
Pork chops and apple sauce,
They gorge themselves in the silence,
Not a word [...?],
Like pork chops and apple sauce

None of your memories are [lost ...?],
None of your memories are [lost ...?]

She says she's going to bed,
Away from the TV,
Seems so irrelevant

It's late and you lie awake in bed,
Thinking your bedroom miles away,
Wonder if she too can't sleep,
When you hear the gentle sobbing,
You know she knows and you hate yourself,
Sad and gentle sobbing

None of your memories are [lost ...?],
None of your memories are [lost ...?]

You may never touch her again,
But maybe on this day,
It seems so irrelevant

Stifled sobbing next to you and there is nothing you can do,
Your dinner gives you heartburn, what if you walked away,
Another woman sleeping sound,
Well does she dream of you? You can't be sure,
Does she know what it means to really be sure?

Young Mother

Available on Damaged Goods Sampler compilation, My Favourite Place 7"/CDEP, Smash Ignorance Up! compilation

She woke up on a summer morning,
She woke up like any other morning,
But she knows today is different,
Something is growing inside her

She's gonna have a baby,
Do you think it's a good idea?
I know no-one can stop her,
But do you think it's a good idea?
She's gonna have a baby,
Do you think it's a good idea?
I know no-one can stop her,
But do you think it's a good idea?

She is going to be a young mother,
Obligation to no other,
She may ruin her life and another,
But decisions have been made

Do you have your mother's eyes?
Do you have your child's eyes?

You're On Your Own

Available on Lunch With A Bouncing Space Vol. II compilation (demo version), Slanted CD, The Drama Of Alienation LP/CD

Jam that needle in your vein,
Blood is in my sink again,
Well I don’t wanna know what you had to do,
To score the skag that’s killing you

You’re dead to me,
You’re just a ghost,
I’m haunted by the empty host,
I’m waiting for my friends to die,
I prefer like you’re not alive

Don’t call, I’m not home,
And I don’t care if you’re alone,
This time you’re on your own

All my friends are fucking high,
Waiting for their turn to die,
I see the scabs and I see the veins,
Don’t tell me about the pain,
Punk chicks are turning tricks,
On Capp Street to score a fix,
Twenty-five going on sixty-six,
What is it baby?
What is this?

Don’t call, I’m not home,
And I don’t care if you’re alone,
This time you’re on your own

You’re on your own,
You’re on your own,
You’re on your own

You're The One That I Want

Available on Grease: The Not So Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture compilation, Meaty, Beaty, Shitty Sounding singles collection CD, Turn To Stone 7" #1. Yes, it's the song from Grease, with Lance as Danny and Harriet Scott singing Sandy. It's too complicated to show who does each line but you probably know this song by heart anyway (even if you're too 'punk' to admit it).

I got chills, they're multiplying,
And I'm losing control,
For the power you're supplying,
It's electrifying!

You better shape up, 'cause I need a man,
And my heart is set on you, (And my heart is set on you),
You better shape up, you better understand,
To my heart I must be true,
And there's nothing,
And there's nothing for me to do

You're the one that I want (You are the one I want),
Ho, ho, ho, honey,
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want),
Ho, ho, ho, honey,
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want),
Ho, ho, ho, honey,
The one I need, oh yes indeed

If you're filled with affection,
You're too shy to convey,
Meditate in my direction,
Feel your way

I better shape up, don't treat me this way,
Who can keep me satisfied,
I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove (you better prove),
That my faith is justified,
Are you sure?
Yes I'm sure down deep inside

Your Mother

Available on One Mississippi LP/CD.

Your mother wants to know,
If you're coming home,
For the three-day weekend,
She says "No big deal",
But is that how it feels?
Your phone voice is all pretend

She makes you feel so small,
Like you never moved out at all,
You feel so small,
But she doesn't mean it after all

Your mother wants to know,
Why you're acting as though,
She planned the whole life that you lead,
She wants so bad to be,
A mother perfectly,
But she's nothing like what you want to be

She makes you feel so small,
Like you never moved out at all,
You feel so small,
But she doesn't mean it after all

Your mother gets along,
But she misses Hong Kong,
You know, but never to what extent,
She makes Sunday's meal,
Into such a big deal,
But to you it's a total non-event

She makes you feel so small,
Like you never moved out at all,
You feel so small,
But she doesn't mean it after all

Your Shirt

Available on Altamont 99 singles collection CD, Arbor Vitae LP/CD, Your Shirt 7", You Think You're Cool CD

You say "It's all right",
Never asking my price,
You think you're cool,
But it's my high school

I've been broke,
I'll be broke again,
You would think I'd done enough for you,
(You would think I'd done enough for you),
You would think I'd done enough for you,
(You would think I'd done enough for you)

Your shirt is too tight,
Your chest is outlined,
You say "nevermind",
I'm shocked but not surprised

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

Your shirt is too tight,
Painted on off-white,
You think you're cool,
But it's my high school

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
