Ain't Got Nobody
I had another nightmare
Go back to sleep honey
Everything will be alright in the end
Rock is dead, guitars are dead
In the where are they now category
The Astronauts, with their first big hit Ain't Got Nobody
Ain't got nobody
Ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody
Ain't got no one to really love me
Ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody
Ain't got no one to kiss and hug me
I've been so patient, all around the nation
There ain't no one in all creation
I'm living all alone, nobody at home
I try to fall asleep, I really start to freak
My daddy loved me, no one could touch me
Until he went up and left me lonely
That's human nature, we fail each other
We keep on searching for another
I thought I had a friend, but she was just pretend
She didn't have a soul, nothing I could hold
Ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody
Ain't got no one to really love me
Someone I could greet when I come home from work
Someone who would smile and take away the hurt
Ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody
Could you be the one to really love me?
Ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody
Ain't got no one to kiss and hug me
Back To The Shack
Sorry guys I didn't realize that I needed you so much
I thought I'd get a new audience, I forgot that disco sucks
I ended up with nobody and I started feeling dumb
Maybe I should play the lead guitar and Pat should play the drums
Take me back, back to the shack
Back to the strat with the lightning strap
Kick in the door, more hardcore
Rockin out like it's '94
Let's turn up the radio
Turn off those stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack
I finally settled down with my girl and I made up with my dad
I had to go and make a few mistakes so I could find out who I am
I'm letting all of these feelings out even if it means I fail
Cause this is what I was meant to do and you can't put that on sale
Take me back, back to the shack
Back to the strat with the lightning strap
Kick in the door, more hardcore
Rockin out like it's '94
Let's turn up the radio
Turn off those stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack
We belong in the rock world
There is so much left to do
If we die in obscurity, oh well
At least we raised some hell
Take me back, back to the shack
Back to the strat with the lightning strap
Kick in the door, more hardcore
Rockin out like it's '94
Let's turn up the radio
Turn off those stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack
Let's turn up the radio
Turn off those stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack
Eulogy For A Rock Band
Goodbye heroes
You had a good run
Fifteen years of
Ruling the planet
But now your light's fading
Adios rock band that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on
Words come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
Women were screaming
Guys were copying
Cause you moved the people
To sobbing, inspiring
You spoke for the world in your songs
Adios rock band that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on
Words come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
We'll never forget the jams you made
Let them fade
It's time that we laid you in your grave
Let them fade
Goodbye
Adios rock band that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on
Words come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
Lonely Girl
My lonely girl
So baby come on
I know how to dance
And I am the only one who ever takes a chance
Give it a try
You're not gonna die
Unless you refuse to live and hide away tonight
I'm lonely
So homely
Can you relate?
Open your arms
And let me come in
I'd never hurt you girl 'cause that would be a sin
I'm blurry
Unworthy
Can you relate?
I know you're scared
I know you're sad
I'm here to help you realize it's not so bad
I've Had It Up To Here
Don't wanna find myself homogenized
Don't wanna become the very thing that I despise
Don't want my mommy feedin' me culture with a spoon
Don't wanna end up with as much edge as a balloon
Don't want my ideas polluted by mediocrity
Don't want my sentiments diluted
This is important to me
I've tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
Don't wanna be another boy next door
Don't wanna pander to the masses anymore
Don't need the whole wide world to love me, don't wanna win the human race
Don't need my music to be less well known than my face
Don't wanna compromise my out for universal appeal
Don't wanna be mass consumed
I'm not a happy meal
I've tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
I've moved out from the sticks
Nobody believed in me
Had to cut my way up
Overcome all kinds of adversity
Oh, if you think I need approval
From a faceless john, oh
That's where you're wrong
I've tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
(I've had it)
(I've had it)
I've had it up to here
The British Are Coming
This is the night, light up the fire in the forge
We're not the coins in the coffer of old king George
One if by land two if they come by sea
We'll show them we are the true sons of liberty
Punk ass redcoats trying to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
Mount your horse cause it's time to tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming
Smear on the soot
Tear up an old deer skin shirt
We know the shot will be heard all around the world
Punk ass redcoats trying to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
Mount your horse cause it's time to tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming
This is the destiny of all mankind
We will shake off these chains and shackles that bind
Come on let's give them everything we have
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming
Da Vinci
I tried taking a picture of you
When I look at it nothing comes through
Sometimes I wonder if you're just a ghost
And I wonder who's haunting you most
I tried describing you to all my friends
But they just told me to polish my lens
You're sweet, generous, my sweetheart
I don't even know where to start
Even Da Vinci couldn't paint you
Stephen Hawking can't explain you
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words
I couldn't put it in a novel
I wrote a page, but it was awful
Now I just want to sing your gospel
I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words
I looked you up on ancestry.com
There was no record of Dad or of Mom
It's like you fell straight out of the sky
And left the scholars to figure out why
I like to think that I know quite a lot
But with you it feels like I forgot
I wish that I could explain who you are
But when I try to I never get far
Even Da Vinci couldn't paint you
Stephen Hawking can't explain you
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words
I couldn't put it in a novel
I wrote a page, but it was awful
Now I just want to sing your gospel
I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words
We've come so far, now here we are
We made it through the night
I know we will, be strong, cause still
Everything will be alright
Even Da Vinci couldn't paint you
And Stephen Hawking can't explain you
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words
I couldn't put it in a novel
I wrote a page, but it was awful
Now I just want to sing your gospel
I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words
Go Away
[Rivers Cuomo:]
Cold hearted girl
Don't hurt me like this anymore
I'm waiting right outside your door
Saying baby can we talk?
[Bethany Cosentino:]
Stupid boy
You keep on begging but I won't let you in
You keep on crying but you know what you did
I'll never let you back in
[Rivers Cuomo:]
And you say
[Rivers Cuomo + Bethany Cosentino:]
Go away, go away
Go away
Go away, go away
Go away
Go away, go away
Don't come back here anymore
Go away
[Rivers Cuomo:]
I was wrong
I hurt your feelings when I did what I did
I learnt my lesson, I'll stop acting like a kid
Can you give me one more chance?
[Bethany Cosentino:]
And so I asked
What does she have that I don't have?
You said you stay but then you went away
That's why I'm telling you to go away
[Rivers Cuomo:]
And you say
[Rivers Cuomo + Bethany Cosentino:]
Go away, go away
Go away
Go away, go away
Go away
Go away, go away
Don't come back here anymore
Go away
[Rivers Cuomo:]
But my life is incomplete without you
[Bethany Cosentino:]
And you miss the little things that I do
[Rivers Cuomo:]
You do
Won't you take me back
[Bethany Cosentino:]
That was your last chance
[Rivers Cuomo + Bethany Cosentino:]
Go away, go away
Go away
Go away, go away
Go away
Go away, go away
Don't come back here anymore
Go away
Go away and don't come back
Cleopatra
We grow old, our hearts are dim
But our minds are free, to fly where they will
Your beauty is faded, you're a broken shell
It's only the weak that fall for your spell
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
It's time to move, to the next life
You'll be reborn as a beautiful child
You'll turn the heads of a million men
Lady Pharaoh, the jewel of the Nile
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
All the wine we tasted, all the love we made
All the strumming lyres will decorate your grave
All the ecstasy is gone gone gone away
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
Foolish Father
Simple love songs
Drenched in bored songs
Coming out a long song
Hesitate to throw your stones
When criminals are victims
Looking back in to our past
There's no cause for these symptoms now
Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
Think of how destroyed he feels
Walking to his grave plot
Knowing that the one he loves
Hates him with all of her heart
Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
Anything for you, anything for you
Anything, anything
Anything for you
Anything for you
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
