Hey! (demo) 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Hey! Are we gonna do this thing Are we gonna get together Well you better treat me good No, you gotta treat me better If you're gonna hang around We'll get along We'll get it on To get along and get it on and get along 'Cause I know you And you know me And that's all just as far as you can see But to know just to know seems like less instead of more And I think that I need to know your heart Hey! Are we going to fall in love Are we going to run away then just treat me like a friend That is both in and out of bed And if you're going to lie with me Then you shouldn't lie to me If we're going to do this thing Don't you lie lie lie Don't you lie lie lie Don't you lie if you're going to lie with me It wasn't me It was not I Who said that I only want a lover A modicum is what I need You hate the word fidelity But I think that I need to know your heart Hey If we're going to do this thing Are we going to stay together I mean for good I mean forever And for lack of a better word I mention love Not to mention reason And all of the above Do you really think we should Do you think that that'd be good Do you think that that'd be right Do you really think we might Do you think that that'd sane If you do then you better think again Hey! Are we gonna do this thing Hey! Are we gonna do this thing Hey! Are we gonna do this thing If you do then you better treat me good.

There was a mood There was a feeling I wasn't dealing But I stood up Took it on the chin couldn't let her out but I also Kinda couldn't let her in Every single night when I wake up and I cry and I think to myself I think I'm going to die Well you know there's no reason we can't get back Everything we lost But we gotta find the backpack Ahhhhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh-ahhhhhhh She don't feel anger She don't feel pain So don't feel sorry for Hegemony Jane Hegemony Jane She feels no pain Hegemony Jane Hegemony Jane

Sometimes A Song Is Your Only Friend (demo 2006) 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes a song is your only friend You start at the top and play till the end Over and over and over again Your friend is true Time means nothing to you Time means nothing to you (huh?) Sometimes a song is your only friend You start at the top and play till the end Over and over and over again Your friend stays true to you Spoken: Sometimes a song is your only hope You sit on the couch and stare at the rope Lamenting what seems to be a lack of dope Your song make you smile Time seems like the enemy Time seems to prey Time seems like an eternity But time is only 3:33 *phone rings (oh! Cornelius) Sometimes a song is your only recourse To finding sanity and remorse . . . Hello? "Hey Schindler."

lyrics

Buttcrack of dawn, "Later days." I heard you say as you let yourself out. I had to laugh with one eye shut, I never called you a slut. You said it yourself, you had embraced the term. Ownership gave you power... (to be continued)

Key Crucial Clutch (demo) 03:04
lyrics
The First time that I seen ya You were on the street, I was in my car You looked good from afar An object in my mirror* Closer than you appeared I hung a U-ie And I pulled up to you said "How do you do? Baby do you need a ride?" You got right in I thought I smelled gin and that's fine O babe that's all right, all right Your butt cheeks were bedazzled With rhinestones on those jeans It looked real nice I had to look twice And I was runnin' a little chunky You were a fatty sausage You said so yourself We drank to your health We drank from the top shelf As a nod to our wealth O loverdoll baby it's true I can't be without you I need you all in my life Baby come down Stop wearing a frown uh-oh (and this is true) I was helpless, I was hopeless You helped me to have hope in something again Just by being my friend O BABY yeah! I love you so much You're key yeah you're clutch You're crucial to my happiness Oh honey, my dear, whenever you're near Oh me, I'm crushing again and again Oh yes, I'm crushing again and again Oh yeah I'm crushing again. *I botched the lyric on this demo and said "ear" instead of "mirror"--oops.

lyrics

I'm too shy to ask and I'm always the last to learn Maybe I will learn Maybe I'll turn around Where I know I know that I have been And I know that I've been wrong So I know this feeling dear Get away from it and here This affair.... (Joyful yet somehow mournful whistling) I don't know how to act When I'm around you and If you won't react Then I will be away All that way I know that it gets weird And I hope, I hope that it's you Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Joyful yet somehow mournful whistling) This affair I think I might die This affair la-la-la I'm too shy I know I know that I am and I know I know that I am

Another Day in Paradise Another day in Paradise I held your hand it was so nice to be walking on the ice On a frozen lake in Paradise On a frozen lake in Paradise I held your hand And it seemed so nice Just to be alive Another Day in Paradise Another day in Paradise It was so magical and nice to be dancing with you On a frozen lake in Paradise The snow came down It seemed so nice and you said "You know, I never want this night to end!" I said "I can't stop time but I'm always going to be your friend in Paradise!" (SHHH! Please stop) Another Day in Paradise Another day in Paradise It was so magical Your eyes Were like Heaven So close to mine We touched tongues in Paradise You tripped me up, I fell We hit the ice And you laughed so loud When you rubbed a snowball in my face And you challenged me, you said: "Baby, do you want to race?" In Paradise . . .
