I friend of mine sent me these that she got
somewhere. These sound pretty accurate, but as you can see, some lines are hard to tell what they really are.
Before I post them, question: In "never aim to please", the lyrics I'm providing say "Tried to keep the party roillin', it rolled over me. With the hounds barkin' so loudly, I'd like some company", but to me they've always sounded like "Tried to keep the
party rollin', it rolled over me. When I'm
fucking so loudly, I'll ask for company". Does anyone else hear the same thing? Maybe I'm just a giant pervert, but I prefer the latter.
Bash & Pop, Friday Night is Killing MeNEVER AIM TO PLEASE
Tried to keep the ball rollin'
It rolled over me
With the hounds barkin' so loudly
I'd like some company
Is there room enough for two
If I ain't got a point of view
Close your eyes
Wish I'd jumped off your goddamn planet
When I thought I could
Ten sheets to the wind I feel (
)
Lookin' like a fool that would
Worlds apart by now
And I'll take the blame for
Never sayin' a thing
I never aim to please
Couldn't shoot straight with a point of view
Never aim to please
I shoot at nothin', gainin' nothing's all I do, yeah
They say you need to sing on key
Or that you need to dance (yeah right)
Well I got the guts to fool 'em
Given half a chance
Take me as I am and I'll take what I want
And leave what I can't stand
I never aim to please
Couldn't shoot straight with a point of view
Never aim to please
Shoot at nothin', gainin' nothing's all I do
Yeah, tonight...
How come lovers get mad
When love gets lost it's a gas
Yeah, it's a gas
It's a gas, oh yeah
I wanna see you to my grave
I wanna go for broke
Hell, I ain't your kind of man
I tell a lot of lousy jokes, I know
So you can take me as I am
And I take what I want
Leave what I can't stand
I never aim to please
Couldn't shoot straight with a point of view
Never aim to please
Shoot at nothin', gainin' nothing's all I do
Shoot at nothin', gainin' nothing's all I do, yeah
Well I never aim to please
Never aim to please
Never aim to please
Never aim to please
Never aim to please
Never aim to please
Never aim to please
Never aim to please
Never aim to please
HANG UPS
Hang ups
Hang ups, hang ups
Hang ups
Hang ups, hang ups
Step up to the rag again (
)
Is your haircut out of fashion now
Gonna waste time
Get it cut and dyed in the mirror
So you're satisfied again
When they're fallin' from your side
Gonna stand as one of five (WTF does he say in those two lines?
)
With your hang ups
Start at 9 AM
When you wake up
Till you go to bed
In your makeup
Your mind is always a hang up
And a nine-inch lie (
)
Acting from the gut again
You're too much when you shouldn't've been
I'm in coming on the tragedy of your makeup (
)
And you're nothing here with me, yeah
When they're fallin' from your side
Gonna stand as one of five
Of your hang ups
Start at 9 AM
When you wake up
Till you go to bed
In your makeup
Your mind is always a hang up
And a nine-inch lie
Hang ups
Hang ups, hang ups
Completely lost my mind
You've never been more kind, kind, kind, kind
Ain't no hurry
To talk some trash, honey I can't wait
To get you on another date
'Cause your hang ups
Start at 9 AM
When you wake up
Till you go to bed
In your makeup
Your mind is always a hang up
And a nine-inch lie
With your hang ups
Hang ups, hang ups
Hang ups
Hang ups, hang ups
Hang ups, hang ups
Hang ups, hang ups
(Try to be my) hang ups
Hang ups, hang ups
LOOSE ENDS
Miss come and go
Where you been now?
Put a red on right and rest your hundred wire now (
?)
Your love it grows
But no one knows
Who's on your mind, who's on your lap
Don't they look the same, yeah
It's alright
Early morning, drinking tea, a slice of whole wheat
Another lesson you should've learned will have to wait
You care too much, you care too less
Headin' for a better view, fail to impress
Well I guess you got too far to stray
No place particular is where you end your day
You know I got no, the pavement holds no one
It's time to tie your loose ends up
Never mind which way
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
No one left to blame, oh yeah
Butterflies are tied in knots
Your guts around your neck
You get 'em too tight and they slip again
You look too far, you fall too fast
It's a raincheck for a date you've no interest
Guess you got too far to stray
You're heartbreakin' all over this place
You know I got no, pavement holds no one
It's time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
How much you gonna take?
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
You've got too much to shake
at last
The whisper through the glass
Can you hear my voice I was screamin'
Yeah screamin' "Go and tie 'em up!"
Fall apart before my eyes
I'll sweep the mess
A shortcut through the dirt is always best
You look too far, you look to the west
Heading time is all you needed
I'm the best
I guess you got too far to stray (stray)
No place particular is where you end your day (your day), oh no
And the pavement holds no one
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
Never mind which way, yeah
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
No one left to blame (Tie 'em up)
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
How much you gonna take? (Tie 'em up)
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
You got a lot to shake (Tie 'em up)
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
Time to tie your loose ends up (Tie 'em up)
ONE MORE TIME (I have no idea about this song 'cos I never listen to it.)
Don't you know I get your same mad
Same way I came and took my turn
Bout a thousand times now
Still bored I know you'll be bored if I leave
Don't look now in the back of the room
You're still tryin' not to see but I bet you can
With a glance and sneer couldn't always
I know you'll be bored if I leave
One more time
One more time, yeah
You wash your hands
You close your hairband
You smell the shit you hang with
Wash your ass when they get through laughin', they're stoned
I know you'll be bored when I leave with only
One more time
One more time
One more time, yeah
Face to face, loser to loser
Spend time with baby, baby
Show me out
You're gonna fuck the woman
Like time I know
You're bored when I leave with only
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time time time time time time time time time time
TICKLED TO TEARS (Most of these are pretty bad too!!!)
Well I might not know anything till it
Slaps me 'cross the face
Then I strike right back so I think I'm really just
Hopin' I fall with grace
Then I listen I go with more confusion
Always gonna be abuse
'Cause you've had your eye
Against my spine
You got me tickled for years
Since you walked on by
I hear the first song is always the last
And I got pain in the ass now
You got me tickled to tears
You got me tickled to tears
For if I'd to speak your mind, yeah
Gotta breath that there's nothin' I need
Well I tried to get used to some but you know that the more I need
Rest your case against my head
I got an earful of you
Press your lips again
Want my mouth full and my hands too
Just got a pain in the neck now
You got me tickled to tears
You got me tickled to tears
Red light, green light, that's like me
at best
Love to hate you, anything you
Just be my guest
Wanna dance to a different beat
Wanna look through your sliding glass
And I fall face first on my own conditions
You know I love you but you know I hate the talkin'
Stake your claim to my side
And I been waitin' for years
Since I ?? your sign
Save the last drop for your own eye
I got to let it fly now
You got me tickled to tears
You got me tickled to tears
You got me tickled to tears
You got me tickled to tears
You got me tickled to tears
You got me tickled to tears
You got me tickled to tears
NOTHING
Don't know what you mean
Undecided
If you really know, believe
And then your advice, and your sentiment
You said don't know what it fears
I don't want you
It's never too late, it's too soon
News of your feels
You're only second guessin' the end
Doesn't make it easier to be nothing
Nothing
Doesn't make it easier to be nothing
In her eyes
Now son can't you see
You're made to be free
There's nothing hold you down believe
Those heartstrings one day fire
Twenty years in a rage, you're more than that
Well did you ever see them holding hands
Their love for you is lost
Before their first dance
Doesn't make it easier to be nothing
Nothing
Doesn't make it easier to be nothing
In her eyes
Many birds you catch you release 'em
Goin' back and relieve 'em before they're gone
Gonna have to call you today
Still I'm glad I came
Can't say I love anything
But I'm thankful for your words
And he said
Doesn't make it easier to be nothing (No one)
Nothing (I found)
Doesn't make it easier to be nothing (Turn me)
In your eyes
Doesn't make it easier to (You see me)
Be nothing (Look in my eyes)
Doesn't make it easier to be nothing (You hear me)
Nothing (Listen)
Nothing makes it easier to be nothing (One more time)
Nothing (Look in my eyes)
Nothing makes it easier to be nothing
FAST & HARD
Want it fast and hard
Yeah I'm hard to please
Wanna make you shout
Drive you wild
Wanna turn the other cheek
I played it fast as I could
You heard it slow
I was just thirteen and my head
Was learnin' as my heart was racin' and I
Sold myself next to nothin'
That's why I paid full price for this life of mine
Got a first-class ticket to Harlem
With a dyin' man and a feeling hand
Want it fast and hard
Yeah I'm hard to please
Wanna make you shout
Drive you wild
Wanna turn the other cheek
You don't hold your
in my blood
It might infect you (
?)
Your team boy shit I can't smell (
)
As you're restless, malcontent
I know I'm just a waste of breath
You look like adult in your kiddie flannel jeans
That's right I defy your attempt to unnerve me
Say your wit's no match for dumb luck
Got my attitude and my shiny shoes
Want it fast and hard (Too slow)
Yeah I'm hard to please (Go home)
Wanna make you shout
Drive you wild
Wanna turn the other cheek
Want it fast and hard (Too slow)
Want it fast and hard
Listen to Black Flag
Yeah I waved to all my useless (
?)
Nothing I soon recall
Thirteen years in the can
Two more to go
You stand in my time
As your whores told you, you're too blind (
?)
I defy your attempt to unnerve me
Bought a first-class ticket to Harlem
With a dyin' man and a feeling hand
Want it fast and hard (Too slow)
Yeah I'm hard to please (Go home)
Wanna drive you wild
Make you shout
Wanna turn the other cheek
Want it fast and hard (Too slow)
Want it fast and hard (Go home)
Want it fast and hard (Too slow)
Want it fast and hard (No no no)
Want it fast and hard (No no no...)
Want it fast and hard
Want it fast and hard
FRIDAY NIGHT (IS KILLING ME)
Couldn't come much easier
Gone in a flash
Couldn't take my breath away
Never got it back from France
I stay so calm
Know I stayed too long
A thousand fleeting moments
In a hundred lives
You never said hello
I never said goodbye
Looks like rain
And I feel it like a hurricane
It's your golden age
And I was born too late
It's a long way back to nowhere the same
Friday night is killing me again
And my ?? has got you broken up again
Friday night sure won't be the same again
Your casualties will someday losin' us (
)
Friday night is killing me
Your last sigh
That goes on by
No one hears you tonight
Everything you thought to say
You couldn't say
You know they'll suck you dry
It's only a matter of time
I take your place
Yeah, I take your life
Yeah, when I've used it up
I trade it back for mine
You take my hand
And cover up your eyes
No, no there's no war to wage
It's hard to make front page now
Your warning signs of desire and force (
)
Friday night is killing me again
You wore out the shoes
They got you on the run
Friday night sure won't be the same again
Your casualties will someday losin' us
Friday night
Friday night
Friday night is killing me
(Friday night...)
(They belong to us
And I don't wanna die...)
HE MEANS IT
(Make it louder)
Sat right down before you know it
We got to squeeze in
Could your boyfriend like you
Leanin' on me, we'll be seein'
Slide my wrist up your
All the people givin'
Wait outside for your whistle blow
And I'm runnin'
Can't move fast enough
You know I been dyin'
Wash my fears down right with
Four Roses and Guinness
He said it won't be long
Before you lose that permanent style (
?)
Did you mean it? (Mean it)
Child he means it (means it), yeah
Did you mean it?
Work myself into a dangerous state and I'm nowhere
Gettin' far too before we run out of time
No, it's just confusion
Try to run as long as I can before you start kickin' me
You said it won't be long
Before you lose that permanent style
Did you mean it? (he means it)
But child you mean it (mean it), yeah
(He means it, means it)
(He means it)
Blew that whistle today
I think you skinned my knee, yeah
You opened that good old door (
)
You, now now now I couldn't leave, yeah
You said it would but it could
And I ain't can (
)
Put a ring on your finger
Wood on the table (
)
You love me till I'm dead
And he means it (he means it)
Child you mean it (he means it)
(he means it, he means it)
(means it)
(means it, means it)
(That one was way better)
TINY PIECES
Moonlight hosts refrains unknown
And my porch swinging out of time
And the light above my head is sure to burn out, started dyin'
These are complicated times
For the understanding blind
And every word I thought might change your mind
Was chokin' me
On the fence you were born unsure
Which way your gate swings
And you knew right then like you know today
You didn't have the guts to say it
With one hand on your eyes
And the other on my thigh
And every word I thought might change your mind
Was chokin' me
Blessed and frayed, I shouldn't waste time
Lick it shut before I lose my guts
Or I might rip it to
Tiny pieces
Off of my tongue and through my pen
The ink flowed steadily in red
Did you think too much
Lose too much
Did you go a little far
I couldn't help myself to you
More different than we knew
And every word I thought I should have said
Was chokin' me
Blessed and frayed, I shouldn't waste time
Lick it shut before I lose my guts
Or I might rip it to
Tiny pieces
Walked on nails before
I'm walkin' again, you know my skin
You turn your back and run
When it gets too sharp this fool's known to stand
Moonlight hosts refrains unknown
And my porch swinging out of time
And the light above my head is sure to burn out, started dyin'
These are complicated times
More difficult when they're mine
And every word I thought I should have said
Was chokin' me
Blessed and frayed I shouldn't waste time
Lick it shut before I lose my guts
Or I might rip it to
Tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
FIRST STEPS
You stumble round with your friends
At the end of the block
Till the day that you fall in love
Your childhood romancin'
Was too advanced and
You can't wrestle with 'how comes'
When you're young
It just ain't done
And there's some parties and a pact
With your parents that were sure
You'd be sweet at sixteen
But you learned so much at fifteen
It came and left without much change
You're getting strange looks in the mirror
Takin' shape are the things that you feared
With Chicago round the corner
Baby, contemplate your first step today
One day you're stumblin' around
The next you're thinkin' of the town
And the friends that you thought would always be
With old friends come those greetings
That your eyes won't be meeting
Though your insides want to embrace
You hardly recognize the face
With Chicago round the corner
Baby takes her first step today
When she speaks her mind
When she speaks out of line
When she waves goodbye
Said she's gone all night
You stumble round with your friends
At the end of the block
Till the day that you fall in love
Your childhood romancin'
Was too advanced and
You're getting strange looks in the mirror
Takin' shape are the things that you feared
With Chicago round the corner
Baby takes her first step today
Chicago round the corner
Get to sleep now if you can
It's a cold grey heartache of a town
