Spoken : The women of this family seem to feel that they owe it to the men
of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.
For you they live in a quiet monastery
For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short
They count to ten when you tell them how to drive
And when they're afraid they let you speak for them
All hail the king of intimidation
Model of good Christian behavior
For you we wax, we scale, and chicken our legs
For you we chew our nails if we had any left buy fake ones to do it
We counted to 10 temporarily
And it was somethin' about how you talk down to me
All hail the king of intimidation
Model of good Christian behavior
The room of compromise is full, and apparently you don't want some,
There's only so much we can do to make you rest assured
I am single
I am weary
You're just jealous
You're just confused
You're just hungry
You're in sin now
You're not happy
You are petty
All hail the king of intimidation
Model of good Christian behavior
He knows not of what he has wrongly done
Forgive his ignorant behavior
You are tortured
You are captured
You are busted
We were silent
You were tested
You knew better
You are lonely
Was it worth it?
La,la,la |

Boganvilia fall into the pool
The hard shelled bugs bite my forearm
My right index fingernail chewed to the quick
My cervix is a long scalene
My sprinklers go off at 6pm each day
And sometimes they spray unsuspecting visitors
My pimples are gooses all over my legs
My brow is furrowed and my vision is blurred
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
The birds make guttural sounds and protect me
My friends come to visit and love me a lot
I don't have the energy to fill this
i am lagged from the jet and the 12 hour flight
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
I am intriguied by the boys with the androdonus songs
Sometimes they rhyme sometimes they rhyme not
The steam will smell of eucalyptus in the shower
The hug will feel forced upon you inconsolable thing
And how I do love London
And how I do love London
Deep breaths will not make my brain stand still
To be loved and swallowed are single and depraved
I love speaking french to the taxi drivers
We slept and were cold on the train out of france
And how I do love London
And how I do love London |
| » Norwegian Wood « |
I once had a girl, or should i say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, is not it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So i looked around and i noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "it's time for bed".
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her i didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when i awoke i was alone, this bird had flown.
So i lit a fire, is not it good, norwegian wood. |

(through you I see us)
Between a broken nose and a fake smile
Between piety and gun powder
Between fighting and fleeing the scene
Between the murder and the normalacy
Between aggression and oblivion
Between the brutal and realistically well behaved
Between the screaming and the pulling in the reins
Between tiptoeing and ambling
What am i to do with all this fire?
(I'd like to hate you but I could never hate you)
Why are you still with me in this red space?
(I'd like to slap you but I could never slap you)
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright
Between war and denial
(Twice)
Between flying vases and secretly weeping
Between loose cannons and ever down playing
Between the bruises and the nobly differing
Between bursting and boiling
What am I to do with all this burning?
(I'd like to hurt you but I could never hurt you)
Do I overwhelm you in this place?
(I'd like to kill you but I could never kill you)
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright
Between war and denial
(Twice)
What am i to do with all this fire?
Can you understand me in this place? |

I pray for peace.
They require me to kick into high gear.
We may as well have our Ph.D.'s.
Might we compose
Was never taken into account.
I pray they let out or talk it out.
She would give me a wink across the room.
I would've made a really good lawyer.
I had a really good strategy
For putting things back on the wall of the world.
Thank God it was the goddamned wall.
I would have to hide all my valuables.
Who would calm my mother down?
Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?
My mother and I were the official peacemakers.
It was a full-time job.
I would send my mother directly to bed, yeah
Don't collect 200.
We'd talk about it till 5 A.M.
When I'd come visiting her 5 years later.
We would pray for peace.
It was most comfortable and familiar. |

(Unreleased tricky collaboration)
Alanis Morissette:
I must be two lips
I must be your sleep
I must be blinded
Keep it a question
Keep it a question
Keep it a question
I must be spoiled
I must be behind
I must be asleep
I must be fearful
Keep it a question
Love ain't a secret
Keep it a question
Keep it a question
I must be two lips
I must be your sleep
I must plan to forget
I must be suffering
Keep it a question
Letting nothing on
Let's keep it a question
Keep it a question
Love ain't a secret
Keep it a question
Let it stop within
Keep it a question |
| » Spoon « |
(from Dave Matthews Band's album:"Before these crowded streets")
Dave :
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
And on my way came
Up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung
Out like a wet rag
Forgive you why
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
But laughing out loud makes it all subside
Holding, I'm holding
I'm still falling
I'm still falling
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of this
And turned to the gate
But on my way
Crack
Lightning and thunder
I hid my head
And the storm slipped away
Well maybe I'm crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all alright
Laughing out loud
Alanis :
From time to time
Minutes and hours
Some move ahead while
Some lag behind
It's like the balloon that
Rise and then vanish
This drop of hope
That falls from his eyes
Dave :
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I think of this
And turn to go away
But as I walk
There're voices behind me saying
Sinners sin
Come now and play
Laughing out loud
Come now and play |

(Dogma Soundtrack)
I am the harm which you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I am the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I am your immaturity and your indignance
I am your misfits and your praised
I am doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping an expectation
I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on war
I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still
And I love you still
I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion
I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you and your selective amnesia
and I love you still
and I love you still
Haya...haya...haya...haya...
Background voices :
I see you adverting your glances I see you cheering on war
I see you ignoring your children And I love you still
And I love you still, I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land I see you and your selective amnesia
And I love you still and I love you still
I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your prophets and your profits
I am your art I am your bytes
I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light
I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still
And I love you still
I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And I love you still
And I love you still
Haya...haya...haya...haya...
Background voices :

I see you silencing your sisters And I love you still

(Demo - Made for Jagged Little Pill but not on the LP)
Sarah's only 10 and she's attracted to older men
And they seem to like her back
'Cause she's intelligent
Billy's a football star
And he drives around in his muscle car
But he really really wants to be a ballerina
And he wonders who am I?
Who am I?
And he wants to be a man
But he doesn't understand
It's alright to be what he wants
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world
Full of fear though
But the more you run the harder it is to hide
Well, Jonny studies rockets
With his plastic protected pockets so his pens don't leak out upon the floor
Where Jenny's rolling
And she's scared of growing
'Cause she is 5 feet taller than the girl next door
And she wonders who am I?
What the hell am I?
And she's got a lot to offer
But she doesn't look like Cindy Crawford
And it makes her cry
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world
Full of fear though
But the more you run the harder it is to hide
It's a total rejection of the system
It's the honest opinion for the very first time
It's a different position, of living
And its time that you made up your minds
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
You're not alone tonight
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
Can you hear me call tonight?
I know you're alone in your world
Full of fear though
But the more you run the harder it is to hide
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me call tonight?
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos |

(Hands clean B-side)
A missile sent today
Killed only 3
The rest were saved
They're far enough away to not really feel the direct effect on me
They caught him today
Based ridiculously
On his race
They weren't sure
He even did it
But they needed a random face
All these symptoms symptoms are simpler cuz
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing
We are separate
We are separate
Disconnected in this unity
He won today
Smug self-satisfaction
On his face
He blew the others
Out of the water
He said and was glad
They were disgraced
All these symptoms symptoms are simpler cuz
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing
We are separate
We are separate
Disconnected in this unity
He stole what he could
He only had minutes before he'd be caught
He justified every penny taken by blaming the gap between the rich and rich not
All these symptoms symptoms are simpler cuz
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing
We are separate
We are separate
Disconnected in this unity
Separate we are separate
Disconnected in this unity |
| » There Are Worse Things I Could Do « |
(Grease / Live at Tinley Park)
There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good
I suppose it could be true, but there are worse things I could do
I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes
Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance
Then refuse to see it through, that's a thing I'd never do
I could stay home every night, wait around for Mr. Right
Take cold showers every day, and throw my life away
On a dream that won't come true
I could hurt someone like me, out of spite and jealously
I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry
A fact I'll bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you, that's the worst thing I could do |

Dear matthew I like you a lot I realize you're in a relationship with someone right now and
I respect that I would like you to know that if you're ever single in the future
And you want to come visit me in california I would be open to spending time with you
And finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song
Dear eric I liked you too much I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me
And think solely about themselves and you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time
I used to say the more tragic the better the truth is whenever I think of the early 90's your face
Comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday
Dear terry I love you muchly you've been nothing but open hearted and emotionally available
And supportive and nurturing and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in
And pushing you away I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch
And cry in front of you for the first time you were the best platform from which to jump
Beyond myself what was wrong with me
Dear marc you rocked my world you had a charismatic way about you with the women
And you got me seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn't let me get away
With kicking my own ass but I could never really feel relaxed and looked out for around
You though and that stopped us from going any further than we did and it's kinda too bad
Because we could've had much more fun
Dear terrance you were an adventure besides being a few decades older than I was
You used to write the most poetic loveletters and I still have them you were in
And out of several marriages and you liked them young and naive so you could have
The power and the dramas to feel fear I wonder what your wife thought of all of this
Dear christian we learned so much I realize we won't be able to talk for some time
And I understand that as I do you the long distance thing was the hardest and we did
As well as we could we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives I will always
Have your back and be curious about you about your career about your whereabouts
Dear taylor I missed you a lot there was a period of time when I was too mad to even bring up
Your name and it killed me to hear you discount the time we spent together I knew all along
That we had different tastes in moderations and we couldn't hang out forever and while it lasted
It was hilarious |

Oh perilous place
Walk backwards toward you
Blink disbelieving eyes chilled to the bone
Most visibly brave
No apprehended bloom
First to take this foot to virgin snow
I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I live the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
destined to serve
destined to roam
Oh ominous place
Spellbound and un-childproofed
My least favorite chill to bear alone
compatriots in place
they'd cringe if I told you
our best back pocket secret: our bond full blown
I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I am a pioneer naïve enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
destined to seek
destined to know
most beautiful place
Reborn and blown off roof
My view: about face weather, great will be done
I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I am a groundbreaker naïve enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh
I am a joan of arc and smart enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
destined to reign, destined to roam
destined to reign..destined to roam. |
