She has a house by the sea, She likes the clouds and, And she likes me and, Time flies and the world goes on by while The crashing waves break Down on the sand and She let’s the days drift cause she Doesn’t measure time, She’s caramel and ginger apple pie, Because she doesn’t try, She’s caramel and sugar with some lime, Because she’s sweet all the time And of all the things I could be, I’m just me. Places in the pictures they take they, They make her anxious, Cause they’re pretentious. She knows that the world is not fair so, She bites her nails and, She curls her hair and, Permanently shy, In everything she does, And when I ask her why she, She says it's just because She lets the days drift, Cause she doesn’t measure time, She’s caramel and ginger apple pie, Because she doesn’t try She’s caramel and sugar with some lime, Because she’s sweet and She’s chocolate mints, pure sugar with some lime, Because she doesn’t try, She’s caramel and ginger apple pie, Because she’s sweet all the time.

Queen 03:38
With all the time and everything that she has got, She’s always gone, she’s travelling the world a lot, Portugal or Spain, I hate when you’re away. I feel so lonely and sick at heart. I despise every second that we’re apart. Portugal or Spain, I hate when you’re away. You are my, you are my queen, You are my, you are my queen. Everyday she receives a little letter box, While she’s still in her pijamas and morning socks. And one day you might see, One or two letters from me. Close or far away, You’re with me every day Eloquent and sweet, I love to hear you speak. You are the blood that’s in my veins, I will love you until none remains. You are my, you are my queen, You are my, you are my queen, But the whole world stands in between but, You are my, you are my queen.

You 04:01
Breaking my back every day and just to let you know, That I feel and put up much more than I show. They see that my drinking’s out of line (I feel fine), I’m drinking one day at a time. I want the whole world to know that I’m gentle that I’m sweet, I remember the names and the faces that I met. I want the boys to like me but the boys (are so mean), The boys are mean so I settle for all that’s in between. I keep to myself, Most of the time, There’s no one I can call mine. I dream of you, I belong to you, There’s something about you, That no girl can do. I’m stressing, I am drinking much more than I should. Overeating, I’m not sleeping, I’d stop it , if I could. I keep to myself most of the time, Cause there’s no one that I can call mine. Maybe I should give in I should stop it i should quit, They keep on telling me that it's unatural that it's sick. I want the boys to like me but the boys (are so mean), the boys are mean so I settle for you who’s in between. I keep to myself, Most of the time, There’s no one I can call mine. I dream of you, I belong to you, There’s something about you, That no girl can do.

Apple Tree 02:47
Beneath the apple tree, Lives tiny little me. And they all wanna see, The greenest apple tree. And of the sheer amount, Of apples they can count, Their head starts spinning. I can see in their eyes, They don’t perceive the size, And they start grinning. You know that apple counting is all that I’m about. Beneath the apple tree, Lives tiny little me. He’s trying not to be, Beneath this apple tree. The taste that apples got, Some like and some do not, And it goes without saying. The measure of a man, outlines just what he can, And it goes without saying, You know that apple counting is all that I’m about.

Breathe 03:18
Breathe, Because our time in this place is short so, Breathe and please Need, Need me cause I’m in need of someone, Needing me. They do not care about us so don’t fear, Life will get us in the end my dear. They do not care about us so don’t fear, Life will get us in the end my dear Free, I’m free from all your words, You know you won’t get me, Not me. Lines, All the lines and lies that you’ve constructed, Lies to me Trust me when I say to you, my dear, Our time is to short to spend on fear, They do not care about us so please hear me, Life will get us in the end my dear. Life will get us in the end my dear. They do not care about us so don’t fear, Life will get us in the end my dear. They do not care about us so don’t fear, Life will get us in the end my dear

River 03:56
Books and books can be made up about you, Pages and pages without an end, I doubt they’ll be read but hey what can you do, At least you have got a book about you. Rolls and rolls of film put together, Combined with the world’s finest crew, Even Brad Pitt and Scorcese to, But no one whould watch a film about you. I’ve listened to you for years and out, And I still don’t know what are you, what are you on about so please Take me down by the river and, Drown me deep in the river Coats and coats of paint put together, Combined in the lines that make up you, Most vibrant of colours and canvas to, Just to be spent on a picture of you Lines and lines they all came together, Combining the worlds largest queue, Waiving and waiting to find out who, Knows one single thing that’s fun about you. You break me, Down into peaces while, Tention, Slowly increases, And lights out, Sound will follow, You’re to much to bare to much to swallow Take me down by the river and, Drown me deep in the river. Take me down by the river and, Drown me deep in the river.

Frank and Me 02:48
You and me, We used to be, So lost and lonely, Like no man should be. Then I found him, And he found me, Now we’re not so lonely, Like we used to be. Moments came and then they went, Life spent by your side, Is a lifetime that’s well spent. Frank and me, We’re just like brothers, No one else can’t claim any other thing, That we’re supposed to be. We’ll have a laugh, And some wine, I’ll drink in your name, You can drink in mine. When these old shoes, Can’t swing no more, It will be old blue eyes , and me just like before. Moments came and then they went, Life spent by your side, Is a lifetime that’s well spent. Frank and me, We’re just like brothers, No one else can’t claim any other thing, It’s just Frank and me.

About Me 04:02
From this day on Things are gonna change, And you’ll believe When you see. I’m gonna switch and rearrange, I’ll make it all about me. More about me and, Less and less about you, It’ll be the season of me. I’ll get rid of all the greens and make them blue, I’m gonna get rid of you. From this day on things are gonna change, (I’ll be the season of me) I’m gonna switch and rearrange, I’ll make it all about me. (I’ll make it all about me) I’m gonna put my both feet up, I’ll vacate into the sun, I’ll take a nice long holiday You won’t even know that I’m gone. I’m gonna swim , float and dive, I’ll stroll hike and dine I’ll, In short I’ll be having fun And I will lose something old to something new, In short I’ll be losing you From this day on things are gonna change, (I’ll be the season of me) I’m gonna switch and rearrange, I’ll make it all about me. (I’ll make it all about me) From this day I won’t be the same cause I (I’ll make it all about me)

Shade 03:23
Where where there is shade there is sunshine We’ll have a cold one and a good time, But there’s a line and it’s a fine one, Or maybe 2, or maybe 1, Or maybe 3, we will see. We’ll have coke a cola, And maybe sail to Angola, We will sail the sea, Captain Cody and me The two of us, far from home, Hand in hand, I'm so alone. Where there is shade there is sunshine, I’m feeling stiffness in my jawline, And time flies while Molly and I, Shoot the breeze, take it slow, Look at the trees, and let it go. A dress code with no ties, Happy hour till' sunrise, A drink or two makes me not think of you. And the two of us, far from home, Hand in hand, I’m so alone. Shoot the breeze, and just take it, take it slow, Look at the trees, and let it go, I can’t let go.

I’m the world’s best diver don’t you know, I just dip in and you can watch me go. With the sea shells, with the sea fish, I live as one, and I’m only one. I’m the worlds best chemist can’t you see, Marie Curie she's, she's got nothing on me. Molecules they, stick together But the ones that you don’t see ,are the atoms just like me. Living it up. living it up so that, Everyone can see that I’m not Taking it slow, taking it slow the only, One I need is me and I don’t, I dont get lonely but when I do, I tell myself there is no one quite like you. I used to be the worlds fastest man alive, Circled the globe when I, I was in my prime. The olympics don’t excite me, I wouldn’t break a sweat, no not the fastest man you’ve met. I even solved what old Riemman could’t guess, It only took me maybe 20 minutes or less. I excel in math and colors, But the one that I can’t see, is the blue that lives in me Living it up. living it up so that, Everyone can see that I’m not Taking it slow, taking it slow the only, One I need is me and I don’t. Living it up. living it up so that, Everyone can see that I’m not Taking it slow, taking it slow the only, One I need is me and I don’t, I dont get lonely but when I do, I tell myself there is no one quite like you. (OUTRO DIALOGUE) What seems to be the trouble here? We had a little slam. Oh you had a accident, anybody hurt in this accident? Yes sir. Well how did this happen? He came up to fast. Aha, and did he stop at the stop sign sir? No he didn’t. He didn’t stop at the stop sign? No, I’m sorry I...

Yeah. There we go …uhmmm… aaaand…what can be said? Aaaa and, and you know it’s so easy, it’s so easy to say you know all about it! It’s so easy to say, it’s so simple to say and unfortunately it isn't that simple. It, it’s so easy to say well...this is right, that’s wrong. it,it,it’s ...Aaaaahhhm…. boy…haha… aaaa that,that….what is… what’s beginning to happen…hmmmm…are there people behind it? whats is…uhmmm…who is, who is becoming involved? Who are the people? I wonder what most of us all are…underneath this level…aaaah…. or under this peculiar this strange structure that we call BEEEEEP. I wonder what we are underneath it if allowed to run free…Well I think that many of us living today will find out….uuhhhmmmm…and yet…here we are in the middle of it and we’re all apart of it. And this is one the great myth to it that I will…lock myself in my room and let the world swirl on around me.
