1.Life In A Nutshell
Nearly everything i wanted
Everything i ever could have dreamed of
Got it all right here, oh, in a house full of love
Nearly everything i thought, everything i thought i might try
Almost all came true, ooh, i'm satisfied
So don't cry, don't cry
When i die remember me with a smile in my eye
It's been a long hard drive and maybe my car caught fire
But nearly everything, everything came out fine
Almost got it, almost have it all
But you know you don't run, oh, unless you're willing to fall
Nearly everything i wanted, everything i ever could have dreamed
of
Got it all right here, oh, in a house full of love
That's my life in a nutshell
Baby, you do what you can do
2.Under The Volcano
Hold me closer - keep your distance
Tell me your secrets - mind your own business - sally
We had everything - under the volcano
We watched our laughing children sing - under the volcano
You thought that i was beautiful - under the volcano
A hundred thousand years ago - under the volcano
Hell is here on earth, you know - under the volcano
When you top the bill at a freak show - under the volcano
Where the flesh is weak and the minds are slow - under the
volcano
A waterbed on a lava flow - under the volcano
3.When She Moves
Strike me down i'm worshipping an image
Take my eyes they'll never see no better
Still frames can't justify
The shiver and the sigh
When she moves when she moves
Davinci threw his brushes down in anger
Picasso threw his hands up in defeat
A captive bird may sing
But this one's on the wing
When she moves when she moves
Here i stand with lead in my heart and hands
I cannot fly with her
And i would speak her name but my tongue is numb
And my brain is frozen
She turns her head, a silver bell is ringing
A gesture and fish leap into the air
She walks, a symphony performing silently
When she moves when she moves
4.Mr. Bonaparte
How did you get it in your head, mr. bonaparte
That everything you did and said would amount to law
And all of the players and pieces on the map you drew
Should be happy to revolve their lives around you
I live in my lonely mind
I wonder do you ever reflect
That you're only another man with a bag of regret
And your life will be done in the blink of an eye
And you won't even be a footnote on the page of time
According to the book i read, mr. bonaparte
All your plans and proclamations fall apart
And the loyal few who remain intact
Only seem to pay attention
While they laugh behind your back
5.What's The Good Of Knowing？
What's the good of knowing things you'd never miss
What's the good of knowing one wayward kiss
I cursed myself with knowledge and lost my innocence
What's the good of knowing your deepest fear ／ the end is near
Now i spend my hours waiting for the past to reappear
What's good of knowing truth from a lie ／ one more surprise
I begged for her confession and learned of my demise
What's the good of knowing the words they sang ／ the bells they
rang
What's the good of knowing forgotten dreams ／ one broken seam
I thought i learned my lesson but i'm still in-between
What's the good of knowing？
6.Dave
He counted up his fears one day and they weren't worth a dime
He cried a lot of tears for her ＆cause he wasn't worth her time
And his life felt like a marathon - man, how long can this last？
He slowed down for a little drink and didn't see the winner pass
Last saturday morning we missed the warning
The pain got boring - his soul went soaring
She used to be too young to understand and now she's just too
old
Can't shut the door on her regrets - she'll never be that cold
And i could have been a better friend - i can see where i went
wrong
I hid beneath my selfishness like i hide behind this song
Last saturday morning we missed the warning
Nothing lasts forever ＆cept maybe jesus christ
And nothing could be sadder than a child taking his own life
I heard the minister mumble, i heard the falling rain
And i felt my mother's hand slip into mine
And none of us have ever been the same
7.Caveman
I am a modern caveman
Sittin' here by the fire
These hands of mine been busy
They never seem to tire
I am a fearless hunter
Look at all these bones
Sometimes i sit and wonder
Who i am and what i'm for
I'm a caveman
I painted lots of pictures
And made up my own songs
I shivered through the winters
The pain has made me strong
I'm looking for a woman
To help me count these stars
Then maybe she could show me
Who i am and what i'm for
I'm a caveman
I named the constellations
And taught myself to swim
Created my creator
And made me look like him
I pondered my condition
Till my head began to ache
Right now i'm going fishin'
It's good to be at the top of the food chain
I'm a caveman
8.Waiting Room
When will i ever grow up
When will today be enough
When will i learn to be here now？
It's on the other side of the door - that's what i'm looking for
I have what i need - why do i want more？ more？
Put a lot of pavement on my shoes
Made a lot of payments on my dues
I'm running out of patience just like you
I'll be in the waiting room tomorrow just like today and
yesterday
Why am i still waiting my life away？
Where will i find the will to stop running and just stand still
And take a look at the bird in my hand？
How can i find the faith to drop out of the human race
And let the future crawl back to its cage？
9.117 Valley Drive
117 valley drive
Seemed like heaven when the band arrived
With a couple of drums and a couple guitars
We'd play our hearts out in my backyard
And the people came from everywhere
To put their plastic chairs in the summer air
Down on valley drive
People came with kids and dogs, sat out on the lawn,
And they sang along with a hard hay's nhght
And a ticket to ride
We were barely in our teens
Yeah, laughin' like crazy, yeah, livin' our dreams
Well, the boys just cut up and the girls just talk
But when we'd start up, well, the world would stop
Though it was a different age
Nothing's gone and nothing's changed
In my mind
What it was was a way of life
But no one noticed we'd run out of time
10.Safe In Hell
Don't worry about me i'm safe in hell
Don't cry for my soul i'm living well
Don't worry about me i'm safe in hell
I'm free from my creditors
I'm free from your bleeding hearts
Gone are my responsibilities
And every false start
And all my good intentions were just footsteps on the way
And now every minute feels like saturday
I don't have to make good on anything
'cause there are no pretensions
I just say whatever i like
'cause no one pays attention
And all of you who sit and wonder what we do down here
We try to remember fear
And if i could i'd write you all a letter
And say if life is good then death is better
11.Success
If a man is centered upon himself the smallest risk is too great
for him
Success and failure can destroy him but if he's centered on true
love
No risk is too great - success is guaranteed already
The union of creator and creature beside which all else is
meaningless
The lurid melodrama played itself out in a luxury motel room by
the sea
Said my wife as i sunk my teeth in her brown thigh,
※you were an egg just like me.§
12.Sooner Or Later
Sooner or later gravity always wins
And the clock on the wall runs down
The plates you've been spinning break on the floor
And the people edge toward the door
You got me going
You got me going around
You got me going around in circles
Chasing my tail - spitting into the wind
You got me going around
Sooner or later
Indian summer is gone
And everything green turns brown
The wind gnaws the tree down to skeleton bones
And the sun's just a shiny cold stone
Sooner or later
We'll be together again
And there's no telling where or when
13.As You Are
As you are i once was - as i am you will be
All over the world are people like you and me
A bunch of sour apples on the old family tree
And billions of kids - i'm afraid they're all yours and mine
But all we have in common is the way that we whine
As you are i once was - as i am you will be
They're mad at the world but the world doesn't care
Who swims in her water who breathes all her air
Mother earth didn't burn when the dinosaurs all left home
But they left a little note written down with their bones
As you are i once was - as i am you will be
Farewell to modern warfare - hello eternity
I've got some good news bad news
At the end i'm you and you are me
Don't be a sore loser - you're not even lost
So crawl out of your bunker climb down from your cross
＆cause the answer is love to the question we're all too stupid
to ask
