Get normal
Get normal
Get normal with everybody looking at me
Get normal
Get normal

Corduroy

(Everyone) Everyone
(Everywhere) Everywhere
(Is sure to hear) Is sure to hear the pants I wear
They’re corduroy!
Y’see…
On about my first day of school
I learned what it meant to be truly cool
I’d wear the thing that no one else will
make sure I’m truly dressed to kill in corduroy
Corduroy
Oh oh boy
Oh joy
Corduroy
Everybody wants to be the king of high school (high school)
Just like me back in ‘83
I had the loudest pants in my school (loudest pants in my school)
Loudest pants in my school
But on about the second week the halls were much to loud to speak
They’re going voop-voop-voop like symphony
Yeah, everybody dressed just like me
They’re going voop-voop-voop oh the harmony
I guess I’m Mr. Popularity now
in corduroy (corduroy)
Oh boy!
Oh joy!
Corduroy!

Home is where they hit me
Called me names that fit me
Well, home was hell
but it’s just as well
because I’m coming home

I’m coming home
Don’t you remember
the third week of September
when you egged my house and called me out
and you cut me down in front of your whole crowd
How long will it take ya to figure it out
that I’m coming home to get ya
I’m coming home
Well people let me tell ya bout my best friend
He hit me with a rock and started a trend
I said that
Home is where the kids were
who knocked me down the sewer
yeah but the shit backs up
and the pipes erupt
and then you’re up to your eyes
in the dirty stuff
Just holler uncle when enough’s enough
You can holler uncle when enough’s enough
Yeah you can holler uncle can’t you
You remember how to holler uncle don’t ‘cha just
Just holler uncle when enough’s enough
Because I’m coming home to get ya
I’m coming home to get ya
Home. Home. I’m home.
To get ya.

Sister, if
02:09

Everyone’s a brother
To someone or another
Unless of course you’re a girl but
I’ve always been a boy and
Mostly I enjoy
Being a boy
Well I wasn’t good at sports
or building fancy forts
but when I was about thirteen
I found a magazine
You know the kind I mean it was
the most interesting thing I’d ever seen
But if I’d had…
If I’d had a sister
Then I know we’d have played Twister ™
And then I’d be immune
to every siren’s tune
I wouldn’t just stand staring at her tits no
the flesh wouldn’t give me fits, oh
I would be used to it, yeah
I’d be used to eh-eh-eh-everything
But all my life I heard it said,
“The best things in the world happen in the bed.”
I don’t know why my face turned red when she turned around and said that…
“All I wanna do
is get so close to you
that everything just blends, oh
we could still be friends though
after the wound mends.
We could even do it
We could even do it
We could even do it again.
We could even do it again.
We could even do it agai-ai-ai-ai-ain”
But if I never ever met my sister
And all my life I missed her
‘cause everyone’s a brother
To someone or another
Unless of course you’re a girl.

A Nerd's Night In
03:14

I had a date
It didn’t go well
and I’m wondering if it’s the way that I smell
Well, I took a shower
but you just can’t tell what’ll turn some people off. She’s…
just like all the others
who could have ended up as lovers
Just like you or you or you or you or you
Well, I bought a bottle but she didn’t drink and so I
poured it off into the kitchen sink
I’m no Aristotle but I sure think
I’m going solo tonight, it’s..
just like all the others
that could’ve ended up with lovers
Just like you or you or you or you or you
Just like you or you or you or you or you
She tells me (tells me)
Everything (Everything tells me…)
Rings like it’s a bell and..
As she is leaving
I ask her if I
can kiss her goodbye
She asks me, “Why?”
I say, “You look pretty.”
She says, “That’s fine.”
Then says, “No.”
And then, “Goodbye.”
Oh she’s…
just like all the others
who could have ended up as lovers
Just like you or you or you or you or you
Just like you or you or you or you or you
Just like you or you or you or you or you
or you or you or you or you or you or you or you or you or you or you or you or you or you…

Everyone can see
that he’s in love with me
Any fool could tell
with just one look how deep he fell
in love with me
Ah-Oh-Ah-Oh
Shooby-doo. Shooby-doo. Shooby-doo. Shooby doo-wah…
He bought me a rose (Woah-oh-oh)
Tacked it on to my clothes
He picked out a ring
Lord, you should see that gawdy thing glow, yeah..
He wants to make it known,
he wants me for his own
He’s little doubt
Oh, you should hear him scream and shout
He’s in love with me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
He’s in love with me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
He’s in love.
He’s in love. He’s in love. He’s in love, love, love of love
He’s in love. He’s in love.
Everyone can see
What’s goin’ on with me
But all some fools can see
is the world they wish and want to be yeah.
You’d think he’d know
By all the signs I show
but he don’t wanna know
don’t wanna know
don’t wanna know
He’s in love with me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
He’s in love with me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
He’s in love with me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
He’s in love.
He’s in love. He’s in love. He’s in love, love, love of love
He’s in love. He’s in love. He’s in love, love, love of love
He’s in love. He’s in love. He’s in love, love, love of love
He’s in love He’s in love …with me.

Bland's Last Stand
02:11

|
Well I’ll give you one chance
If you take it that’s cool
If you don’t I’ll see you after school
I may not look it – But I’m a bad one
Born crooked – Under a black sun
And if you mess around with me
I can guarantee
it won’t be much fun for you
Because I’ve…
seen you kind of type before, man,
used your face to wipe the floor and
each time I’m asking lord how many more…
will ya send me
to be handled
to humbled like a candle
that you snuff out roughly
nose down in the ground.
How does that sound?
So I guess it’s time for the fisticuffs
‘cause ya think you’re so damned tough
Just don’t blame me when the going gets rough
I may not look it – But I’m a bad one
Born crooked – Under a black sun
And if you mess around with me
I can guarantee that if you mess around with me I can
guarantee that if you mess around with me
you’d be better off to run.
Yeah.
