Dedicated for all those that thought that the Historymaker opening video was rather weird, and it made no sense half the time, but it freakin' rocked their socks!
That summer we took threes across the park
But by fall we were a cover story
Now in stores
Make us poster boys in the scene
For we are not making our accepting speech
I have found the safest place to keep all of our mistakes
Every dot com's refreshing for a journal update
So long live the car-crash heart
Lie on the couch till the poets come to life
Fix me in 45
So long live the car-crash heart
Lie on the couch till the poets come to life
Fix me in 45
I can take your problems away
With a nod and a wave
of my hand, cause that's just the kind of boy
That I am.
Only thing I've ever done that is good
And it's free and my password in the after life
I was the one
was the one who made all our heats beat all in time
So long live the car-crash heart
Lie on the couch till the poets come to life
Fix me in 45
So long live the car-crash heart
Lie on the couch till the poets come to life
Fix me in 45
Long live the car-crash heart
So long live the car-crash heart
Lie on the couch till the poets come to life
Fix me in 45

Revival Town
Well I've got a message to bring
I can't preach but I can sing
And me and my brothers here
Gonna play redemption hymns
We're not on our own you know
It's all around the world
Cos this is the freedom generation
Living for revival in this time
Hallelujah, people everywhere are singing
Hallelujah, you've turned my mourning into dancing
Revival town
That's what they're calling this place now
Revival town
It'll put a smile on your face now
Revival town

Things that we all need today
You let a broken generation
Become a dancing generation

Life, In a Nutshell
When she was three
Her barbies always did it on the first date
Now she's with me,
There's never any need for them to demonstrate
She's like a baby, I'm like a cat;
When we are happy, we both get fat and still
it's never enough, it's never enough,
it's never enough
But I don't tend to worry about the things that other people say,
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy, but it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she
Her life, in a nutshell
No way would she want it to change me
it's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me
For me
She memorized every pencil crayon colour in the box
Her blue-green eyes complement the burn sienna in her locks
She's at the movies, I'm on the phone;
When we're separated, we're never alone, but still
it's never enough, it's never enough,
No it's never enough
So I don't tend to worry about the things that other people say,
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy, but it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she
Her life, in a nutshell
No way would she want it to change me
it's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me
For me
Well I fell down
With no one there to catch me from falling
Then she came 'round
And only her tenderness stopped me from bawling my eyes out
I'm okay
And that's why
Her life, in a nutshell
No way would she want it to change me
it's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me
For me
But I don't tend to worry about the things that other people say,
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way

Penny On The Train Track
I'm just a penny on the train track
Waitin' for my judgement day
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
Before i get flattened away
I wait
yeah, I wait
For something good, for something great
Stoppin' in somebody's old home town
Gotta get that midnight meal
If you can't get behind your own life
Get behind the driving wheel
And go, just go
Find a place that you don't know
Ran into a friend just the other night
Got a badge, he's a local cop
Haven't seen that boy in over seven years
Since out of high school i dropped
I see, I see
All the things that i should be
Oh baby dance with me!
Even lucky man has a bad day
And pretty girl has a scar
After that train comes and takes me away
Pick up that guitar
And play, just play
Play that rock and roll for me
He's in the yard just washin' his car
Thinkin' 'bout his pretty wife
Makin' lemonade with the kitchen aid
Makin' him a perfect life
And it's grim, so dim
When you wish that you were just like him
I'm just a penny on the train track
Waitin' for my judgement day
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
Before i get flattened away
I wait, I wait
For something good, for something great
I wait, I wait
For something good, for something great
I wait, I wait
For something good, for something great
And I try, oh I try
I can't stop, I don't know why

Barenaked Ladies Are Men - Barenaked Ladies
The Barenaked Ladies have just released another album entitled Barenaked Ladies Are Men just five months after releasing Barenaked Ladies Are Me. They have called it the second part to the album Barenaked Ladies Are Me and I must say I have immidiatly fallen in love with the following songs...
This song is dedicated to Reba Deba, and all her other DQ peeps..
Serendipity
So long ago, on a summer day
I put my best shirt on
I took you to the matinee
With money from mowing lawns
Money from mowing lawns
You worked down at the Dairy Queen
We hit it off from the start
Now there's a blizzard in between
Frost inside a heart
If I had a good reason, I would share
It with you
Then the coldest season came
Making room for something new
Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity
Walking on coals, just trying to get through
But summers don't last that long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
Gone without a good reason for me to share
With you
When the coldest season came
Making room for something new
Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity
If I could only hit my stride
I'll make it to the other side
I don't wanna be roadkill
When there's half a cup to fill
To fill
Good for you (Call it serendipity)
Good for me (Serendipity)
Call it serendipity
Call it serendipity
Call it serendipity
Walking on coals, just trying to get through
Now summers don't last so long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
One and Only
Hey, pass the ball
Why do you run it in circles?
Waves crash the wall
Soon enough all your hard work will fail
Wait, hold the phone
I don't know if I can take this
Leave me alone
I don't know if I can make this work
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
I need to think
'Cause now I've got everyone wondering
Pass me a drink
Last, but not least, and my virtue's gone
Lend me a hand
I think I could walk if you help me
Please understand
If I could talk, I would tell you why
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
Only one
All or none
My heart's done
Weighs a ton
Hold me a while
Tell me you'll never be leaving
I'll walk the mile
Seeing but not quite believing you
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
See, I know I'm lost and lonely (See, I know I'm lost and lonely)
Please go slow; I'm one and only (Please go slow; I'm one and only)...
Angry People
That's the problem, dear, with angry people
They try to go it alone
Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas
That other angries disown
Angry people think a good solution
Is getting others involved
So they surround themselves with happy people
And watch their smiles dissolve
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us
Angry people get so sanctimonious
Telling us what to do
Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just cause
We are all phonies too
And those of us who once had wives and families
Understand what I mean
What was once a calm and peaceful refuge
Is overtaken by spleen
'Cause we just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us
I am the singer in the band
We're only trying to lend a hand
And though it's not what we had planned
We understand
That we just drag you down
We just drag you down
We just drag you down
Until you're just like us
In a square a thousand angry people
Are waving signs in the air (HEY!)
While a million other happy people
Are trying hard not to care (BACK OFF!)
You see, the happy people's biggest problem
Is they're never fearing the worst
While the rest of us will never sleep until
Your happy bubbles are burst
Yeah, we just drag them down
Didn't I just drag you down
Just watch me drag you down
Until you're just like us
Until you're just like us
Oh, until you're just like us
Until you're just like us
Down To Earth
Some people are just all show
Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching
But it's all bark and no tree
What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
It's all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message, but the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch?
I think it's time we had a little intervention with you
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
Via satellite
There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay
If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving
It's a tight circle of the chosen few
Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst?
Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something smells bad
I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
Via satellite
What's it like to love you
When there's no one else above you
And no one gets to know you?
Well, who'll be there to show you
Via satellite?
It's like making love to a TV
It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it's a great deal
But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth

Save Me
I feel my wings have broken in your hands
I feel the words unspoken inside
When they pull you under
And I would give you anything you want
Well all I wanted
All my dreams have fallen down
Crawling around
Somebody save me
And two warm hands break right through me
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just stay
Stay
Come on
I've been waiting for you
I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside
And they pull me under
I would give you anything you want
Well all I wanted
And all my dreams have fallen down
Crawling around
Somebody save me
And two warm hands break right through me
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just stay
Stay
Come on
I've been waiting for you
And all my dreams are on the ground
Crawling around
Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through me
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save me
I've made this whole world shine for you
Just stay
Stay
Come on
I'm still waiting for you

This Is Your Life
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life
And today is all you've got now
And today is all you've ever had
Don't close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything that you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger, and you had everything to lose
Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
And you had everything to lose
Switchfoot
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
