1.One Week
Lyrics：Ed Robertson
Music：Ed Robertson
It's been one week since you looked at me
cocked your head to the side and said I'm angry.
Five days since you laughed at me
saying get that together come back and see me.
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like Leann Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean？
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on, we're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic
Like Sting I'm Tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my
irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
that make me think the wrong thing
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean？ You soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said I'm sorry
Five days since I laughed at you
and said You just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do？
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

2.It's All Been Done
Lyrics：Steven Page
Music：Steven Page
I met you before the fall of Rome
and I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right
You said goodbye, I said goodnight
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
I knew you before the west was won
and I heard you say the past
was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine
but I'll see you next time
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
And if I put my fingers here, and if I say
'I love you, dear'
And if I play the same three chords,
Will you just yawn and say
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
Alone and bored on a 30th century night.
Will I see you on the price is right？
Will I cry？ Will I smile？
As you run down the aisle.
It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before
3.Light Up My Room
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Ed Robertson
A Hydro-field cuts through my neighborhood
Somehow that always just made me feel good
I can put a spare bulb in my hand
And light up my yard
Late at night when the wires in the walls
Sing in tune with the din of the falls
I'm conducting it all while I sleep
To light this whole town
If you question what I would do
To get over and be with you
Lift you up over everything
To light up my room
There's a shopping cart in the ravine
The foam on the creek is like pop and ice cream
A field full of tires that is always on fire
To light my way home
There are luxuries we can't afford
But in our house we never get bored
We can dance to the radio station
That plays in our teeth
If you question what I would do
To get over and be with you
Lift you up over everything
To light up my room
A Hydro-field cuts through my neighborhood
Somehow that always just made me feel good
I can put a spare bulb in my hand
And light up my yard
Light up my yard
Lights in my yard
Light up my yard
4.I'll Be That Girl
Written：Stephen Duffy／Steven Page
If I were you (and I wish that I were you),
All the things I'd do to make myself turn blue
I suppose I'd start by removing all my clothes,
tie my pantyhose around my neck
I'll be that girl -- and you would be right over
If I were a field, you would be in clover
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
If you will not have me as myself,
perhaps as someone else
Perhaps as you I'll be worth noticing
Then even a eunuch won't resist
The magic of a kiss from such as me
I'll be that girl -- and you would be right over
If I were a field, you would be in clover
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
If I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
It's time to kick off your shoes,
learn how to choose sadness
It's time to throw off those chains,
addle our brains with madness
'Cause we've got plenty of time
to grow old and die
But when at last your beauty's faded
you'll be glad that I have waited for you
When you're done
with being beautiful and young
When that course is run, then come to me
I'll be that girl -- and you would be right over
If I were a field, you would be in clover
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
If I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
5.Leave
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
I've informed you to leave
'Cause I can't afford to lose more sleep
I get ill when I get tired
So I'll try to rest if you'll stand guard
Do do do do do do do do Whoa
Do do do do do do do
I've informed you to leave
'Cause I can't stand to hear you breathe
I chew up and I choke down
The scraps you choose to leave around
Do do do do do do do do Whoa
Do do do do do do do
Apparitions still won't leave me alone
It's as if you never left
How am I supposed to remember you
When you won't let me forget？
I've informed you to leave
'Cause I can't afford to lose more sleep
There's your shoes, and there's the door
Please don't come here anymore
Do do do do do do do do Whoa
Do do do do do do do
6.Alcohol
Written：Stephen Duffy／Steven Page
Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alchool, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health
I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Forget the caffe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G＆T for me
Alcohol, your songs resolve like
my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill
I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me？
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else
I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse
I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole？
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me？
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else.
Would you please forgive me
Would you please forgive me
7.Call And Answer
Written：Stephen Duffy／Steven Page
I think it's getting to the point
where I can be myself again
I think it's getting to the point
where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point
that is the hardest part.
And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
You think I only think about you
when we're both in the same room
You think I'm only here to witness
the remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
a game of who loves more than whom
And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
You think it's only fair to do what's
best for you and you alone
You think it's only fair to do the same
to me when you're not home
I think it's time to make this something that is
more than only fair
So if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home.
But I'm warning you, don't ever do
those crazy, messed up things that you do
If you ever do
I promise you I'll be the first to crucity you
Now it's time to prove that you've come back
here to rebuild.
8.In The Car
Lyrics：Steven Page
Music：Steven Page
She fed me strawberries and
freezer-burned ice cream
I said 'Goodbye, I guess'
She lifted up her dress
and so I must confess,
we made out one more time
before I left for good
She thought I'd come back but I
wouldn't want to seem like other guys
A book-and-record love,
we sat and read our books,
between those longing looks,
compounded by our fear,
My tongue inside her ear,
my tongue inside her
in the basement of her mother's
house where she once taped the
first three sides of Sandanista for my car.
We were looking for ourselves
and found each other
In the Car
it was rare to do much more
than simply mess around
In the Car
It was mostly mutual masturbation
And though we spoke of penetration
I'd have to wait for someone else to try it out
Once I had this dream
where I slept with her mom
A secret all along, unless I've got this wrong
Unless she hears this song
unless she hears it
on a tape inside her car
with her new husband and she
turns to him and says 'I think that's me'
In the Car
We were looking for ourselves
but found each other
In the Car
We groped for excuses
not to be alone anymore
In the Car
We were waiting for our lives
to start their endings
In the Car
We were never making love
We were never making love
We were never making love
9.Never is Enough
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Ed Robertson
What, am I to wake up suddenly and then
enroll at the local college and earn me a degree
And I could work weekends？
if I've worked real hard
I could mow your back yard
I can go to Europe travel with my friends
I can blow a thousand deutsche marks
to get drunk in a pub with some Australians.
Buy a giant backpack
sew a flag on the back
I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
I never have to do that stuff
I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff
I never had to spend a summer planting trees
I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch
doubled over on my hands and knees.
I never spent a single day in retail
telling people what they want to hear
telling people anything to make a sale.
Eating in the food court
with the old and the bored
I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
I never have to do that stuff
I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff
The worlds your oyster shell
So what's that funny smell
You eat the bivalve anyway
And you're sick with salmonella
You get your Ph.D.
How happy you will be
When you get a job at Wendy's
And are honored with employee of the month
I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
I never have to do that stuff
I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff
10.Who Needs Sleep？
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat
Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she's three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep？
(well you're never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep？
(tell me what's that for)
Who needs sleep？
(be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War)
My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing filled with lists
of things to do and things I've done
Another sleepless night's begun
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep？
(well you're never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep？
(tell me what's that for)
Who needs sleep？
(be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War)
Who needs sleep？
(well you're never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep？
(tell me what's that for)
Who needs sleep？
(be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War)
There's so much joy in life,
so many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia
is one I've never found
With all life has to offer,
There's so much to be enjoyed
But the pleasures of insomnia
are ones I can't avoid
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Hala Hala Hala...
Who needs sleep？
(well you're never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep？
(tell me what's that for)
Who needs sleep？
(be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War)
11.Told You So
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
I never jumped in and rescued you,
but I wanted to
I didn't tell you which way to go,
'cause I thought you'd know
You had a problem with your new found
wealth, you brought it on yourself
I never told you I told you so, but I told you so
Have to let it go
it's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
I never told you I agreed with you
I don't think I do
I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing
meant, but I'm glad you went
I never thought that it could be painless,
but it is I guess
I had myself fooled into needing you,
did I fool you too？
Have to let it go
it's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
A viral infection that can incubate for years
Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears
No medication to procure
Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure
I never mentioned how I've prayed for you,
and now I've paid for you
I never said that I would wait for you,
it's too late for you
Have to let it go
it's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
12.Some Fantastic
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
One day I will build a fountain
Drink and never grow old
Then I'll market an elixir
that will eliminate the common cold
Find your sickness on my list
Pay up front and make a wish
One day I will work with animals
All the tests I'm gonna do
All my stuff's completely natural
And when we're done we'll boil 'em
down for glue
that we can use to re-adhere
your lips to mine if you were here
There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you
I can't stand to wait in line long
So I built a new machine
It just measures up the distance
and then eliminates the folks between
One day I'll construct a satellite
and I'll name it after you
'Cause you were the greatest friend of all
except for when you split my lip in two
To see the look upon your face
as I launch you into space
There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you
Bye-bye self-respect
I haven't had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you
Some day I will find the secret
to your social chemistry
Then I'll print it on a t-shirt
and it'll make you want to be with me
If I wear it past your work
you'll see other guys are jerks
Much like pheromones for flies
you will not avoid my eyes
There's a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it's true
But none as much as my want to be with you
Bye-bye self-respect
I haven't had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you
13.When You Dream
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Steven Page
With life just begun, my sleeping new son
has eyes that roll back in his head
They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart
and pictures a world past his bed
It's hard to believe
As I watch you breathe
Your mind drifts and weaves
When you dream,
what do you dream about？
When you dream,
what do you dream about？
Do you dream about
music or mathematics
or planets too far for the eye？
Do you dream about
Jesus or quantum mechanics
or angels who sing lullabies？
His fontanelle pulses with lives that he's lived
With memories he'll learn to ignore
And when it is closed, he already knows
he's forgotten all he knew before
But when sleep sets in
history begins
But the future will win
When you dream,
what do you dream about？
When you dream,
what do you dream about？
Are they colour or black and white,
Yiddish or English
or languages not yet conceived？
Are they silent or boisterous？
Do you hear noises just
loud enough to be perceived？
Do you hear Del Shannon's 'Runaway' playing
on transistor radio waves？
With so little experience,
your mind not yet cognizant
Are you wise beyond your few days？
When you dream,
what do you dream about？
When you dream,
what do you dream about？
14.She's On Time
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Woke up, I was on top of the world
There was a beautiful girl in the bed beside me
Rolled over, got a kiss on the ear,
She said, 'Listen up, dear, there's a change inside me.'
Can't say how frightened I am, how unenlightened I am
As I run for cover
Can't say how happy I am to be wrong..
She's on time, She's on time
She's on time, She's on time
She's on time
Halleluyah!
She's on time!
It's the safest time of the month, they say, for love
We move in a mysterious way,
Cause when some holiday, I'd say we work harder
Not happy with a hug and a kiss,
Although most stop at this, we go much, much farther
We can't stop fooling around, on the bed,
on the ground, on the bathroom counter.
We can't stop when all our systems are go.
She's on time, She's on time
She's on time, She's on time
She's on time
Halleluyah!
She's on time!
It's the safest time of the month, they say, for love
She's on time, She's on time
She's on time, She's on time
She's on time
Halleluyah!
She's on time!
It's the safest time of the month, they say, for love
Between you and me, how happy we'll be
Repeating this cycle permanently
But where will we be when baby makes three？
I know that in a couple of years
I might lay down my fears and get psyched about it
Give in without an ounce of regret
trying not to forget what I liked about it
One day I might look like a fool with a yard
and a pool and a station wagon
Till then I get down on my knees every day and pray
She's on time She's on time
She's on time She's on time
She's on time
Halleluyah!
She's on time!
It's the safest time of the month, they say, for love
She's on time....
15.Long Way Back Home
Lyrics：Steven Page／Ed Robertson
Music：Ed Robertson
It's a long way back home
to pack up and leave again
Together alone
You without me again
It's a long way back home
and a long way back here again
I should have known
That you would just bleed again
For the first time I knew what to do
The first time it's just me and you
and then the worst timing I ever knew
I have to go
I already know
It's a long way back home
To feel like I'm far away
How should I know
What goes on here anyway？
For the first time I knew what to do
The first time it's just me and you
and then the worst timing I ever knew
I have to go
I already know
Why not spend a week on a star
No time, he can't get there by car
When we get some time on our own
We'll plan our next year alone
It's a long way back home
from just about anywhere
'Cause once through the door
I'm not even halfway there
For the first time I knew what to do
The first time it's just me and you
and then the worst timing I ever knew
I have to go
I already know
It's a long way back home
It's a long way back home
