Far Too Long 02:07
It's been far too long since I wrote a love song but I ain't got no reason to the muse of music has been lost on me ever since the day that I lost you my oldest friend is my guitar but he ain't giving me no advice He just remains silent and looks at me through his one dark blinkless eye It used to be I'd write every day But that was before you went away They tell me you've left for somebody better But I can see you if I go that way But it's been far too long since I wrote a love song but I ain't got no reason to the muse of music has been lost on me ever since the day that I lost you

Business and pleasure used to mix but now there's a rule about getting our kicks it used to be all day they'd herd us like a zoo but now the company controls our nighttimes too Never do that, you can't do this there is one thing, but we wouldn't suggest it all office romance requires approval any broken rule brings immediate removal our love violates policy our love cannot be seen our love by the fax machine our love violates corporate policy Gotta leave a paper trail of every transaction from payroll to supplies to bedroom action when you feel the need to get it going on you can just as long as you fill out this form Our love violates policy our love requires a committee our love for Sarbanes-Oxley our love needs form 21B! Complete this form make a copy, keep a record dress up in red tape if you wanna git nekkid Have it stamped by your department head and don't forget to use the company bed we cannot get away with mock compliance there is a penalty for S-Ox defiance we both signed a form about company trust so even if we quit there'd be no pleasure for us our love violates policy our love cannot be seen our love by the fax machine our love violates corporate policy

we've been in love forever and by that I mean three weeks but that's the longest a girl has ever stayed interested in me something is wrong and it must be with you because I'm not going to bring me down anymore Whenever I speak with your friends I insult them mercilessly after a while you butt in and apologize for me something is wrong and it must be with them because I'm not going to bring me down anymore All of my life people have said bad things about me, they've gone to my head but I know the power of mind over mind and I'm not going to buy into it this time Whenever there are problems they seem to be with me but I'm in no place to own them I have to think of my self-esteem something is wrong and it won't be with me, no because I'm not going to bring me down anymore because I'm not going to bring me down anymore

I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I think you should drop everything to spend time with me But if you want to pick the place I'm nowhere to be seen I never tell you that you're pretty But expect you to shine Whenever you want to share your feelings all I hear is whine, whine whine All because I'm... I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I remind you of your faults and I'll never let it end I go to your favourite clubs and I hit on your friends I have made you miserable since the day we met and I will always think of you with a total lack of respect I treat you with such disdain People think you're my ex No, I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had When you see a happy couple You break down and weep You should just accept your fate because you don't deserve better than me 'Oh, wait I'm sorry. That was... that was over the line. I didn't mean... I don't know why I say these things... I guess it's because...' I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had I'm the worst boyfriend that you've ever had

Bandits 02:16
They call it 7-11 but it's open all night the cash never seems to be locked up tight so if I'm broke around 4am I use it as a handy ATM Ski mask, loot bag, sawed-off shotgun 'don't be a hero and I'll hurt no one' it was an ordinary robbery but then the woman of my dreams walked in she came in to rob the place as well one look at her and I immediately fell fast in love with my hands on my head I knew I had to make move sudden I mosied up to her smiled and asked 'rob this place often?' she stifled a laugh 'if I had a nickel for every time I've heard that I wouldn't commit any crimes' Would you like to be on the lam with me? we can go to my place and then we can make out like bandits I only have my bandit girl to thank without her I never would have move up to banks it wasn't long before our nuptials and our honeymoon at First National the engagement ring cost me two weeks of someone else's salary 'if no one here objects you may now make out like bandits' she could spot the police undercover I knew from then on I would always love her the thought of us being separated was far worse than being incarcerated one night a cop answered all of my fears I got sent up for nearly two years I told the judge she went unwillingly a small price to pay so my love can be free

She has read The Republic better yet she understands it and Kierkegard and Descartes too even Kant is someone she can do She's my Philospher Girl she makes sense of all the world when it comes to foreign policy she's another Chomsky She'll Hegel over the price of Sun Tzu She's always willing to try something Newton What Confucious say she will repeat She'll Heidegger motions with Sophocles She's my Philospher Girl she makes sense of all the world in a group she aims to please she's a regular Socrates But when you ask a simple question you will get a full discourse Philosophy has taken over and I think it's for the worst She's my Philosopher Girl she makes sense of the world she may have the answers in her head but she is Lao Tze in bed

You might be asking what's it worth to me Absolutely nothing since you left since you left What's it worth to you, sir? Can you give me an answer? Can you lend me a hand, sir and help me forget about her? You might be pleading what are my feelings they amount to nothing because you left because you left we've got to ride the roller coaster of life we've got to make it through all this pain and strife What's it worth to you? What's it worth to me? Absolutely nothing since you left since you left

Sybil 03:23
Got a girl I'm bringing home she's gonna meet my mom I hope she approves of her I wanna take her to the prom she says 'I don't know if I can be what your mother expects of me' I say baby, baby, you'll do just fine my mother loves a gal with an open mind Sybil won't you come home meet my folks and then maybe if they like you I can be your man I'm so lucky to have you I feel like a prodigal son You're everything I've wanted all rolled up in one I love the way you change your voice to suit the mood of the conversation even if I had the choice I'd choose you over any single maiden Sybil won't you come home meet my folks and then maybe if they like you I can be your man every time I kiss you you say it's great and then you act like you don't remember so I get to do it again Sybil won't you come home meet my folks and then they'll see that you are more than just a girl my mother really likes you she wanted me to know watching you is like she's seeing a one-woman show now I can take you to the prom I want to look my best if only you'd make up your mind and decide on a dress Sybil won't you come home meet my folks and then maybe if they like you I can be your man you're such an individual you're truly one of a kind if only there were more of you the world would be sublime

Can you meet me in Dallas where I first found you? Is there time to meet in Dallas or am I just a fool? Can we start over in Dallas And change what we had done? If families will allow us We can return home. Can you meet me in Dallas? Can you find the place where we got married too quickly where we should have embraced.

Paradise 02:45
If you want to try for Paradise why not close your eyes and think of the single greatest moment of your life? the one you would have for all eternity I would choose to be in that moment when we laid in that hammock at night and you smiled at me with your eyes If you want to try for Paradise why not close your eyes and think of the single greatest moment from your life? the one you would have for all eternity I knew you smiled for me not the moment or anything I could give to you or say that was eight years ago today If you want to try for Paradise why not close your eyes and think of the single greatest moment from your life? the one you would have for all eternity
