Like Sunday, Like Rain

I don't forgive you
For all that you've done
You took my life
And killed all the fun
I don't forgive you
And your cruel way
I hope I hurt you
Some sunny day
Then you will feel what I feel
Then you will feel my pain
Like Sunday, like rain
I don't forgive you
For all the hurt you have wrought
Cut me clean down the middle
With one shot
No I don't forgive you
For breaking my heart
You held it in your hands
And you ripped it apart
Will you feel what I feel
Will you feel my pain
Like Sunday, like rain
The rain pours on down
All across my window pane
Like Sunday, like rain
I don't forgive you
And I never, ever will
Ever since you been gone
It's been nothing but downhill
Never understood you
Never knew your reasons why
Never even left a note
Never said goodbye
I hope you feel what I feel
I hope you feel my pain
Like Sunday, like rain

Never the Bride
06:01
|
|||
I'm forever at the ready
I'm champing at the bit
Lived my whole life screaming, This is it
Nobody hears me and nobody one cares
Who gives two bits about my frivolous affairs
All I want is my day in the sun
Especially now that my day is nearly done
I am all dressed up, I got nowhere to go
I wait by the ticking clock and the hands they move so slow
Is this the day my ship will come
Is this the day I will get me some
All I need is a taste of the pie
All I need is a little piece of the sky
My heart is busted and so is my pride
Always the bridegroom and never the bride
My dreams are shattered, I’ve been denied
Always the bridegroom and never the bride
I've lowered my sites, I don't want for much
Got no expectations, nothing nonesuch
I will take what I'm given, I will take what you got
Even if what you got it ain't a lot
All I want is to stay afloat
All I want is just a little bit of hope
I am willing to settle for next to nothing at all
I will rob old Peter just to pay old Paul
These are desperate times and I'm a desperate man
Gotta do anything any way I can
I don't care if I look like a fool
And I don't care if I break every single rule

Had a little hope just for a little bit
I held on tight, held on tight
Held on tight to it
Felt a little joy for just about an hour
And I could feel
The glory in the flower
But then the wind went of my sails
The wind went out of my sails
Nothing good prevails
When the wind went out of my sails
Thought I had a chance
Felt so excited
The path ahead seemed clear
The path seemed clear
So clear and well-lighted
Maybe just this once I will grieve not
But rather find
Strength in what remains behind
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be
In the soothing thoughts of spring
Out of human suffering
In the faith that looks through death
In the years that bring the philosophic mind
Should've known better
Should be wised up by now
Everything I want
Yeah everything I want
The world just won't allow
What is the point
It's the question I keep seeking
I bring up again and again
But no one hears me speaking

Self-Inflicted Wound
03:35
|
|||
I done did it
I done did it
I done did it at my own behest
I took a knife
With a blade so sharp
And I rammed it straight into my chest
I know I’m to blame
I’m so acutely attuned
Nothing hurts quite as bad
As a self-inflicted wound
Hurts so bad
Hurts so bad
Hurts so bad like my soul’s on fire
Can’t put it out
Can’t tamp it down
I’m consumed with a burning desire
It’s my fault
It’s my fault
It’s my fault I'm in this sticky mess
I wanted love
Wanted love
But all I got was a deep distress

No Control
04:39
|
|||
Don't got no say so
Don't got no say so
Don't got no say so
No say so
Nobody listens
Nobody hears me
Nobody listens
Nobody fears me
I am no one
No one to you
I am no one
Nothing I can do
No control
Got no control
Can't be pushy
Can't be pushy
I can't be pushy
Can't be pushy
Don't wanna bug ya
Don’t wanna cause a fuss
Don't wanna bug ya
I’m just a wuss
I am a eunuch
I am a vassal
Please ignore me
Don’t wanna hassle
Inconsequential
Inconsequential
Inconsequential
Inessential
I am invisible
I am a ghost
I am a phantom
At the bottom of the bottommost
You don’t know me
But I know you
You don’t see me
I am see through

Just Stop It!
05:20
|
|||
I know that you want it
You have made that crystal clear
And I hear ya, I hear ya, I hear you
You stagger right in
And pour yourself down
And tears gush out of you in torrents
Whoever you think you are
Whatever it is you're gonna do
Just stop it
Whatever way you need it
Whichever way you think you're gonna get it
Just stop it, stop it right now
You tell me all your stories
And you make them fascinating
And they are
They are to you
Who hit Willie and who gave ya a chocolate steve
Let me get my pen
And write it all down
You told me about your dream
A dream in which you kissed me
And you kissed me like you never kissed before
And then you fell into my womb
And you couldn't climb out
A kind of rapture of the deep

Jerry
03:43
|

Jerry was a permanent fixture
In our crummy ol' part of town
He hung out by the bodega
Selling treasures a little broke down
You’d see him there on Sundays
Playing guitar in a wicker chair
Sometimes the drunks would hassle him
But Jerry just didn’t care
I am the King of Records
That’s what he’d say
And he was the King of Records
The king of the Fenway
Jerry would sell a whole mess of things
A curio, an oddment, and a novelty
He had books and lamps and old cassettes
And sometimes he’d give it to you for free
Jerry was kind to all of the kids
In our sketchy little urban ‘hood
Whenever Jerry came around
We knew we were in for something good
Jerry always had a smile on his face
And a pleasant little how-do-you-do
Even if he didn’t know your name
He knew you through and through
It’s guys like Jerry who make you feel
Like you live somewhere you belong
I gotta say that I like Jerry
That’s why I wrote him this little song

Down the Dark
04:11
|

Split wide open
Like a bloody pomegranate
Down the dark
Down the dark
Turn the screw
Wrench the bolt tight
Down the dark
Down the dark
Never gonna heal
Never gonna heal
Down the dark
Down the dark
Hot to the touch
Burns into bastard blue
Down the dark
Down the dark
Nothing I ever do
Is ever good enough for you
Down the dark
Down the dark
Ripped apart
Never gonna mend
Down the dark
Down the dark
Lost my way
No direction home
Down the dark
Down the dark

You Are Vanishing
06:24
|
|||
You came and went so fast
I barely knew you
Like everyone else these days
You are vanishing
You made your peace
And then you went on your way
Like everyone else these days
You are vanishing
How can I hold on to
To someone who is not there
It's like trying to hang on to a vague dream
How can I believe in
What I cannot grab in my own hands
I guess that it's been my lifelong theme
How can I hand over
What little that I have left
To dubious ideas that hold no weight
I think that I'll remain here
Steadfast and a little cocksure
Not plunk myself down in the palms of fate

Disappear
04:40
|
|||
You ask me to tell you 'bout my secret fantasy
I can tell you right back just what it is
You want to know 'bout the thing that I most want
The thing I want when I catechize
All I want is to disappear
All I want is get out of here
All I want is to vanish into the sky
All I want is to spread my wings
All I want is to cut the strings
All I want to be an invisible guy
You ask what is going on inside my head
And you want me to be honest as the sun
All I can say is I want to get away
Blow it all to pieces with a megaton
You want me to chuck out all the BS that I spew
And get myself down to the nitty gritty
Let me paint you a picture of what's going on inside my mind
Even if what's on my mind it ain’t too pretty

My Enemy Grows Older
03:35
|
|||
I've pursued you for a thousand years
Or has it been a million
We got our own routine
Just like a vaudevillian
Wanna get you in my sites
Don't care about no bill of rights
You'd think that I would loosen up
As the years go by
But I won't forgive you
I won't let it die
I'm just like that angry child
A child universally reviled
My enemy grows older
And the world
The world grows colder
Lemme tell what it's like
To live with all the hurt
Knock you down, down, down
Down in the dirt
Then you'll know how I feel
Betrayed by my ideal
Just want to make you hurt
Want to see you in a world of pain
This is how it feels
When it hits you like a hurricane
No matter the price
Don't care if I'm not so nice

Outside, Over There
04:57
|
|||
Every morning I'd look out my window
To see what I could see
I believed there was another time
And another place just waiting for me
All I had to do was get myself out there
Not live like some forever wannabe
It was outside, over there
I thought this can't be it
This can't be all
No, this can't be the whole story
What about the promise of a promised land
And all that guts and all that glory
I was looking for a perfect world
Where everything was hunky dory
Every night I'd dream the same dream
And awaken to the same nightmare
Used to get me so goddamn down
Spent all my time shouting, Unfair
Still I believed there was a another time
And another place
Outside, over there
