NO ONE GETS HURT
This is how it all begins
you and me and our reservations
mixing bits together and
waiting for the detonation
The countdown's begun you know
I always say something foolish
Where is it you'd like to go
And can I take you there?
Said you can't be hurt right now
That's OK because I can
What does that mean anyhow?
You don't look like superman
Yes, I see, you're vulnerable
Been burned before now you're afraid
I think that's just wonderful
We make a perfect pair
Come on -- cause you might as well
Come on -- because I can tell
Come on -- what's beneath your shell
Just sleep here tonight no one gets hurt
Torture me by telephone
Make me ache until you call
At least I won't be alone
Knowing it won't ring at all
I've tried what you're trying, too
I'm a knight in rusty armor
Do my best to protect you
We're both a little scared
Come on -- little porcupine
Come on -- let me make you mine
Come on -- everything is fine
Just sleep here tonight no one gets hurt

You Are All That I Need

YOU ARE ALL I NEED
I spent the night
Outside alone
it's getting light
You're still not home
You run away
Still walking right by your side
Don't be afraid
Just offering you a ride
Take this heart I'm done with it
Cut yourself and I'll bleed
Love me just a little bit
Your are all that I need
Still got the sand
Inside my car
You held my hand
I kissed your scar
And the next day
You don't simply snap awake
How can you say
I just made a big mistake?
Take this heart I'm done with it
Cut yourself and I bleed
Love me just a little bit
You are all that I need
You may pretend
Without me you're doing fine
But in the end
You'll be mine
Take this heart I'm done with it
Cut yourself and I bleed
Love me just a little bit
You are all that I need
I can wait I'm used to it
You are all that I need

Girls Kick Ass

GIRLS KICK ASS
Lots of things you can enjoy
If you must be born a boy
But we all know and we all see
That girls are what it's best to be
Girls can fight or girls can be polite
They can do it all
Girls can just receive or make a pass
Girls are cool yeah girls kick ass
Girls are cool yeah girls kick ass
Girls look good in skirts or pants
And two friendly girls can dance
I wish I could be that free
Yeah girls are what it's best to be
Girls can safely hold each other's hands
No one seems to care
Girls don't have to try to finish last
Girls are cool yeah girls kick ass
Girls are cool yeah girls kick ass
Rich or poor they've all got class
Girls are cool yeah girls kick ass
If there was a way
to be a girl for a day
I'd make men obey
Everything I say
Lots of things you can enjoy
If you must be born a boy
But in the end we're just outclassed
Girls are cool yea girls kick ass
Girls are cool yea girls kick ass
Guys can try but guys are crass
Girls are cool yea girls kick ass

It Might As Well Be You

IT MIGHT AS WELL BE YOU
I know it's early baby, but it's time to run
If I got to know you maybe this wouldn't be such fun
No use looking for a reason why
We do the things we do
I stopped looking when I realized
That it might as well be you
You're just a dream we only dream the things we need
No need to scream you can't be hurt if you don't bleed
You don't know my name and I don't mind
Cause I don't need you to
Look for the perfect girl then I find
Almost will have to do
It might as well be you
I understand that you feel alone
I'm kind of lonely, too
I feel better when I hear you moan
But any sound will do
And it might as well be you
When you're this high
Everything else just seems so small
Whisper goodbye
Now try to make it to that wall
Cupid never felt a love so right
An arrow just won't do
He's got a gun with a fancy sight
To aim at someone new
Whoever comes in view
To rip your heart in two
It might as well be you

Don't Say a Word

DON'T SAY A WORD
Don't say a word
Cause I'll just pretend that I never heard
Everything's been said and it's all absurd
There's nothing else to know
It was never this clear
the last time I came here
25 dead umbrellas on my way to your place
No one else here can seem to accept
There are times when you simply get wet
Don't give me your regards
Never send Christmas cards
There's a long list of topics we're supposed to avoid
Other things we don't need to explain
Getting good at not using his name
Everybody needs someone to tell
all the little things on their mind
But for the bigger things that don't have names
you just want someone to hide behind
Don't say a word
Cause I'll just pretend that I never heard
Everything's been said and it's all absurd
There's nothing else to know
and nowhere else to go
Everybody tries to do what's right
Everybody tells little lies
He makes you crazy and I make you sad
But we'll never make you satisfied

YOU CAN'T DIE FROM A BROKEN HEART
I'll watch you lie next to me in bed
I'll try to put these thoughts into your head
And me, I'm having that dream once again
The one in the big airplane
We wait for the engine to flame
You can't die from a broken heart
Just have to watch as the world falls apart
If you believe the truth will set you free
That's the difference between you and me
I think I'd travel through time if I could
I'd go back and turn all the bad into good
And you might even forgive me someday
But someday's too far away
To hold us together today
You can't die from a broken heart
Just have to watch as the world falls apart
If you can face not knowing what will be
That's the difference between you and me
And me, I'm no longer sleeping at all
I lie there and cannot recall
How we started building this wall
You can't die from a broken heart
Just have to watch as the world falls apart
If you can walk away and let it be
That's the difference between you and me
You can't die from a broken heart
Sometimes a heart that's stopped just won't restart
So now you think you know what to do
That's the difference between me and you

If You Only Knew

IF YOU ONLY KNEW
Tell me your favorite author
I'll pretend I've read the book
I'll hold the towel while you change
And I promise not to look
Everyone's pretending everybody is for real
Everyone confounds me
And I know just how you feel
If you only knew
I am your humble servant
Simply tell me what to do
I need to make you happy
Cuz I wish that I was you
Everyone's pretending everybody is for real
No one understands you
And I know just how you feel
If you only knew
That I'm not like those guys
If you only knew
What happens when I close my eyes
I prearrange my features
So that you will never guess
I would starve myself for weeks
For a minute just like this
Everyone's pretending everybody is for real
We have never spoken
But I know just how you feel
If you only knew
What happens in my bed
If you only knew
What you get up to in my head
If you only knew
Things that I dream bout you
If you only knew
Things that I wanna make you do

IS THIS THE END?
Goodbye Pretenders, Madness and the Clash
The tape you made me's melting on the dash
Guess I should've parked her in the shade
Taken better care of the tape you made
I remember having sex with you
Stopping just to flip it to side two
I remember how you were afraid
I might not understand the tape you made
So you wait until you know you're sure
Then just in case you wait some more
Nothing matters cuz it's all pretend
Till someone says, "Is this the end?"
From the moment that the screen went black
I sat there wondering when you'd start to clap
You expected there'd be something more
But I can't tell you what you're waiting for
So you wait until you know you're sure
Then just in case you wait some more
Nothing matters cuz it's all pretend
Till someone says, "Is this the end?"
Is this the end?
I guess it is
Is this the end?
Why, yes it is
Is this the end?
You look surprised
Is this the end?
Unsatisfied

Too Much Joy Scarsdale, New York
TMJ is/was a punk-pop band of some minor renown. Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing. ... more
