"One True Thing"

"One True Thing"



Everyday I turn on the evening news
And I got to tell you
I think the whole worlds gone crazy
Everytime I am turning around someone is selling something new
It's getting so bad
I don't believe anything anyone tells me
But baby you have the most honest eyes
Maybe your the piece I'm missing in my life

I am looking for one true thing
One true thing that I can believe in
Searching for one real love
All my life I have been waiting
For one thing that's true
Could it be you?

Seems like everytime I am walking down the street
No one even looks me in the eye
Everyones got an angle
Everyones got agendas
And a secret to keep
That is the one thing
On which you can rely
When you look at me I think I see something new
Tell me baby, can I put my faith in you?

I am looking for one true thing
One true thing that I can believe in
Searching for one real love
All my life I have been waiting
For one thing that is true
Could it be you?

So tell me before I go too far
Tell me now before I give you my heart

I am looking for one real love
All my life I have been waiting

I am looking for one true thing
One true thing that I can believe in
Searching for one real love
All my life I have been waiting
For one thing that is true
Could it be you?

Could it be you?

"Only One Too"

"Only One Too"


I am talking but you can't quite hear what I say
I come closer
but you push me away
I should leave
but I don't have the strength
I can't think

Please can't you see that I am down on my knees
My heart's in you hand
and you squeeze
I want the whole thing
but you give me a part
it's time to start
so I push and you pull
and I don't know which way to go

[Chorus]
Stop Me, Stop me from falling
cause I can see
See where this is going
If you love me
then why do you leave me
if you need me
then I'll love you only
when I am the only one, too

I just can't make you understand
I want your heart but you hold up your hand
you say space is what you need
but you want me
to be true
to just you
while you get to do whatever you want to

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You'll never stop
it's gotta change
you don't want a lover
you want a world of slaves
I can't resist falling into those arms
those boyish charms
you think I won't leave
yes you're good, but not so good I can't see

Stop me,
I can see where this is going
if you love me, yea!

[Chorus]

"Only Shadows"

"Only Shadows"


Think there's a monster in your closet
Even if you lock it
Think you can't stop it
No matter how hard you try

Well listen here sleepy head
Close your eyes and go to bed
With good thoughts in your head
Tell you why it's gonna be alright

[Chorus]
They're only shadows
They're only shadows
They're only shadows
In the night

You walk down the street
A creepy feeling starts to creep
And suddenly you feel your feet
Moving faster til they fly

You look all around
You look up and you look down
But still there's nothing you have found
And I will tell you why

[Chorus]
There are lots of things that may go bump in the night
But if you use your brain you will be alright
That scary noise is just the faucet dripping
And the thump thump thump is the dog's tail wagging
The thing you saw out of the corner of your eye
Was just a shadow in the night

You can't have shadows without the light
No hello without goodbye
No laughter 'til you cried
That's just part of life
The great compromise
You are truly wise
If you see with your own eyes

[Chorus X2]

"Painters"

"Painters"



Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by
They remind her of her lover, how he left her, and of times long ago.
When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait
A thousand times-or maybe just his smile-
And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go

'Cause I'm a painter and i want to paint you a lovely world
A lovely world.

Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall
He put water-colored roses in her hair
He said, "Love, I love you, I want to give you mountains, the sunshine, the sunset too
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me

'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.

So they sat down and made a drawing of their love, they made it an art to live by
They painted every, passion every home, created every beautiful child
in the winter they were weavers of warmth, in summer they were carpenters of love
They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow

'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.

Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil
And in her heart she knew something was wrong
She went running through the orchard screaming,
'No God, don't take him from me!,'
But buy the time she got there, she feared he already had gone
She got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for her
She threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave me
with nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits to remind me!
He said, 'Love I leave, but only a little, try to understand
I put my soul in this life we created with these four hands
Love, I leave, but only a little this world holds me still
My body may die now, but these paintings are real.'
So many seasons came and many seasons went
and many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers,
talking to the trees and singing to his children
And when the wind blew, she knew he was listening,
and how he seamed to laugh along, and how he seemed to hold her
when she was crying

'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.

Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by, they remind her of her lover
how he left her and of times long ago, when she used to color carelessly,
Painted his portrait a thousand times, or maybe just his smile,
and she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go

Yes, she and her canvas still follow
Because they are painters and they are painting themselves
A lovely world

"Perfectly Clear"

"Perfectly Clear"



The doorway frames you
a picture perfect silhouette,
blue sky of regret
enough to hang you
Your legs seem to tremble
At least I imagine that they do
Then again, it's probably easy for you

But please, don't open your mouth, my dear
I can read all the signs
I can take it from here
There's no need to explain,
It's perfectly clear

Yellow wallpaper peels makes
a strange halo around your head
It's funny how I notice
These stupid things instead
You say something awkward
But I wish that you wouldn't
A whole life of You wish you could's
but just couldn'ts

But please, don't open your mouth, my dear
I can read all the signs
I can take it from here
There's no need to explain,
It's perfectly clear

So I try not to think to much
it only just makes me mad,
Spent half my life loving you
Think of all the love that I could've had

Five years worth of kisses
Are packed in your bags
This tiny moment fits
All the big things we ever had
And I can't quite pinpoint
When it left or what for
Love always steps lightly
Away from the door

Please, don't open your mouth, my dear
I can read all the signs,
I can take it from here
There's no need to explain,
No, there's no need to explain,
It's perfectly clear

"Pieces Of You"

"Pieces Of You"



She's an ugly girl, does it make you want to kill her?
She's an ugly girl, do you want to kick in her face?
She's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat.
She's an ugly girl, does she make you feel safe?
Ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?
She's a pretty girl, does she make you think nasty thoughts?
She's a pretty girl, do you want to tie her down?
She's a pretty girl, do you call her a bitch?
She's a pretty girl, did she sleep with your whole town?
Pretty girl, pretty girl, do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?
You say he's a faggot, does it make you want to hurt him?
You say he's a faggot, do you want to bash in his brain?
You say he's a faggot, does he make you sick to our stomach?
You say he's a faggot, are you afraid you're just the same?
Faggot, Faggot, do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?
You say he's a Jew, does it mean that he's tight?
You say he's a Jew, do you want to hurt his kids tonight?
You say he's a Jew, he'll never wear that funny hat again.
You say he's a Jew, as though being born were a sin.
Oh Jew, oh Jew, do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?

"Plain Jane"

"Plain Jane"



You wear couture clothing like a hunter wears camouflage
Hiding insecurity hoping no one ever catches on
You like to read scientific magazines like Vanity Fair
There was a well-written article about serotonin in there

You keep the same company you think Coco kept too
You wear a bracelet on your wrist that says What Would Elvis Do?
You make snide comments in private but in public you're fashionably green
You're ironic, but not too proud to brag, you know what it really means

Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain
Fashion still works until you realize you're the same
Plain Jane

You have a rock hard body but you only make love in the dark
Beneath painted legs you're afraid they'll see what's really in your heart
You say cool things like at least murder is interesting
Cause the worst crime a person can commit in life is to be boring

Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain
Fashion still works until you realize you're the same
Plain Jane

Such a sweet face, just embrace the real you
You will see it's just lovely and more than enough to be loved
Yes, loved
Loved

Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain
And fashion still works until you realize you're the same
Plain
What's wrong with plain old Jane?
Kinda like plain Jane
I like plain Jane

"Play Day"

"Play Day"


The music of the breeze played by the trees
A crazy kind of rhythm
Watch the dancing of the leaves

Branches like fingers
And they're strumming away
The wind like a harp
That's what the trees like to play

[Chorus:]
Let's have a play day
An anything-you-say day
What do you say, maybe?
We have a dance away the day, day
We're gonna dance
We're gonna dance
We're gonna dance!

My cat can't talk
But he makes music when he walks
With a pitter pat
The horse goes clickity clack

The car horn beeps
Like a symphony
The tractors rattle and hum
I play the pots like drums

Crickets have a talent
And they play quite well
Violins so small
They squeak for us all

[Chorus]
Yeah, well I can dance to anything
The breeze in the trees
The the pitter pat of the cat
The waltz of the horse at it goes clickity clack
The car horns that beeps
The tractor rattles and hums
I play the pots like drums
With the crickets as they play
Their tiny violins all day

[Chorus X2]

La La La...
Boogie woogie woogie
Boogie woogie
La La La...

"Pretty Faced Fool"

"Pretty Faced Fool"



A rose will start to fade
Without rain and and some warm sunshine
It will die every time.

Fence... You're always on the fence
You're one foot in
Then you're back out again

I think it's time I let you know
Babe I'm letting go
You don't have the right to choose
About me and you

What good's a heart that's too damn tough to break
That's too damn cool to take a chance on love
Yeah I took a chance on us
Now that I look like I'm just a fool
I think you oughta know
You're just a pretty faced fool who let one get away

Go, dance in those city lights
Until you're blind then maybe you'll see
It was me, it was me

I'm gonna learn to rise again
Like a thunderbolt, I'll strike again
I ain't gonna let you burn me out
So come on tell me now

What good's a heart that's too damn tough to break
That's too damn cool to take a chance on love
Yeah I took a chance on us
Now that I look like I'm just a fool
I think you oughta know
You're just a pretty faced fool who let one get away

What good's a heart that's too damn tough to break
That's too damn cool to take a chance on love
Yeah I took a chance on us
Now that I feel like I'm just a fool
I think you oughta know
You're just a pretty faced fool who let one get away

You let me get away

"Quest For Love"

"Quest For Love"



From one world to another,
There's so much to discover
Feel so small inside,
But courage has no size
My heart knows where to go,
And I will follow

It's the little things that make a difference
It's the quest for love that brings us life
It's a dream of what could be
That makes it all worthwhile
Like you being by my side
A love that only grows with time

Sometimes I lose my way,
Unsure, I grow afraid
There's no wrong I can't make right
With you standing by
It takes a friend like you
To remind me of what I knew

It's the little things that make a difference
It's the quest for love that brings us life
It's a dream of what could be
That makes it all worthwhile
Like you being by my side
A love that only grows with time

I'll be strong, I'll be brave,
From your world and back again
We will go until the end, oh

It's the little things that make a difference
It's the quest for love that brings us life
It's a dream of what could be
That makes it all worthwhile
Like you being by my side
A love that only grows with time
