lyrics

1. I Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star

I want to be a rock and roll star
I want to drive a big, fancy car
I want a house with an underground bar
I want to be a rock and roll star
Jesse McCartney will come to my home
We’ll talk about how he's not a good guy
Then he will leave, and it won’t smell so bad
I want to be a rock and roll star
I want to be a rock and roll star

2. If She Says She Loves Me

I can clearly see the days of old
When everything was better told
And I was so fulfilled
My time was filled by you
In your room I was with you
And, all alone, was with you too
The figures that we'd built
Would last until the end

So where am I now if I'm no longer with you?
How can it be that something like that ends?
I think I need something outside my head that I can crawl to
And I wonder if it's her...
If she says she loves me
I won't be so lonely
Maybe I'll be happy
Won't feel so alone…

3. O Girl U R A Diamond (O Girl U R A Pearl)

Oh girl, you are a diamond
Oh girl, you are a pearl
I want to take you dancing
Give you a little twirl
But now I see a problem
A problem with this plan
Upon closer inspection
I see that you’re a man
I see that you’re a man
But I'll do what I can

4. Dreams

I fell asleep, and saw her face
More radiant than the sun
I reached my hand to touch it
But it was a rhododendron
She was a rhododendron
Changed to a rhododendron
Oh, dreams can be so cruel...

5. Visiting Hours, Op. 89

I was waiting down the hall
Thought I heard you try to call.
Was it just my mind that kept me waiting
For your touch?

There is no way we can live
I have nothing left to give
All I can see's you
And that's not fading anytime soon
Anytime soon

6. Sirens

Slipping down the slide of rampant indecision
Time to think of all the bad things coming my way
I once had a woman but she had no body
Now that there’s no contact I suppose I’m better

I went walking down the lane into the forest
I heard all the sirens you can shake a stick at
When I got back there were red notes taped to my door
And I didn’t notice she had turned to plaster

7. Corduroy Pants

Corduroy, my corduroy
You make me such a happy boy
No love will know me as you do
And that's okay, it's just we two
Sometimes I feel your edges and grooves
I put you on and want to move
Corduroy, my corduroy
You make me such a happy boy

8. A Reminder
