Thought I saw the other night you were fired up.
Soakin’ up all the light, forget about it.
This was mine that you had to have. Wanna stab?
Step back and see, you will never be me.
I know you wish you could be.
Better thank your stars that I’m letting you leave.
Better get gone, never look back.
Not gun ruin my night,
Get you out of my life.
Getting back to what’s right.
You don’t want this fight.
Just listen to me.
Forget about it.
Forget about it.
Why, why, why, why, why’s this always happen to me?
I’m a magnet for the broken-to-be.
Excuse me… Well I guess I should go.
Oh why’s this always happen to me, to me? No No!
Yeah! C’mon! Alright
Saw you again last night. Are you kiddin’ me?
Thought I got you out the way. Forget about it!
Stop embarrassing your poor friends.
Get your own life.
Better step back and see, you will never be me.
I know you wish you could be.
Better thank your stars that I’m letting you leave.
Better get gone, never look back.
Not gun ruin my night,
Get you out of my life.
Getting back to what’s right.
You don’t want this fight.
Just listen to me.
Forget about it.
Forget about it.
Why, why, why, why, why’s this always happen to me?
I’m a magnet for the broken-to-be.
Excuse me… Well I guess I should go.
Oh why’s this always happen to me, to me? No No!
Yeah! C’mon!
I am asking in this quiet way if you would just please up and kindly
Get the fuck out of here! Get the fuck out of here!
I’m so glad you’re here I’ve got this new song that I’d like you to hear.
I’m so glad you’re here. You’re my best friend let me buy you a beer.
No thanks, no thanks, no please, no please.
No thanks, no thanks, no please, no please.
No thanks, no thanks, no please, no please.
No thanks! No thanks! No please! no please!
One last time!
Not gun ruin my night,
Get you out of my life.
Getting back to what’s right.
You don’t want this fight.
Just listen to me.
Forget about it.
Forget about it.
Not gun ruin my night,
Get you out of my life.
Getting back to what’s right.
You don’t want this fight.
Just listen to me.
Forget about it.
Forget about it.

STAY AT HOME by The Strand

I WORK. I SLEEP.
MY LIFE BETWEEN LEAVES NOTHING MUCH.
FOR ME
I’M STILL
SPENT ON NEEDS

I’D KILL TO PLEASE YA
MY HEAD DISEASED
AND NOTHINGS WRONG
WITH ME
MY SOULMATE’S BECKONING,

TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU NEED, WHAT YOU LIKE, I CAN GIVE YOU THAT
I WANT TO STAY AT HOME, I WANT TO BE ALONE. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT.
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU NEED, WHAT YOU LIKE, I CAN GIVE YOU THAT
I WANT TO STAY AT HOME, I WANT TO BE ALONE. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT.

OH GOD, Q.T.
A MANS LIFE
IS COMPLETE WITH NOTHING MUCH,
BEER, BROADS, BEEF!
AND SOME GAMES IN BETWEEN.

PULLED IN FIVE DIRECTIONS
I CAN’T LIVE MY LIFE IN PEACE
JUMP FROM THE SAFEST WALL
WITH NOTHING TO BREAK MY FALL
DON’T TOUCH ME!

TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU NEED, WHAT YOU LIKE, I CAN GIVE YOU THAT
I WANT TO STAY AT HOME, I WANT TO BE ALONE. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT.
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU NEED, WHAT YOU LIKE, I CAN GIVE YOU THAT
I WANT TO STAY AT HOME, I WANT TO BE ALONE. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah aWwwWwWggh!

Mister on a mission!
Play or walk the plank.
They colorized your vision.
Yeah, sorry to blow this, please don’t bug me in my cave.
