Kim and Lee Thurston and Steve To my ears I received Wall of noise For girls and boys The dissonant truth Of Sonic Youth Teenage Riot Cassette diet Daydream Nation too Dirty Boots And My Friend Goo So are The younger days Left in a cloud of haze Going through life's toll booth Singing to myself, Sonic Youth

He's a victim of his own doing, he's got no one else to blame. Who knows which one is bound for ruin? He just keeps on playin' the game. When the battle lines get drawn, he'll be moving on. Who knows where he's gone? Just another one nobody knows. She's been searching, but never finding. She keeps on finding her way back home. Not the first one that needs defining. She is never left alone. But it looks like she'll be stayin' with a needle in her vein, might be her last refrain. Just another one nobody knows. Out there in the valley there's a young girl standing on the street. No one keeps a tally - no one knows how many they meet. He knows better, but they can't stop him. He's laser-focused, he's on fire. A real go-getter with hocus pocus. A rising star, a natural flier. He's a rising millionaire, he's going somewhere, but he forgot to care. Just another one nobody knows. Out there in the valley there's a young girl standing on the street. No one keeps a tally - no one know how many they meet. Out there in the canyon someone's searches for companionship gone wrong. That's the way the story goes, another one nobody knows is gone. He knows better, but they can't stop him. He's laser-focused, he's on fire. A real go-getter with hocus pocus. A rising star, a natural flier. Just another one nobody knows.

You braved the tempest Pushed back the seas You earned the title The kingdom and the keys But every hero’s found Their point of breaking down And I found yours I saw the mountain My northern lights I swear I almost touched the brass rings in my sights If there’s a chance of rain I’ll bring a world of pain Down on me you taught me all your secrets I taught you how to lie turned the look of love into an evil eye and I just watch those days go by Diamond rings Time machines All the gold I should’ve bought bended knees Apologies Just a luxury I haven’t got you lost your patience I lost the game you should have known I’d never live up to my name Where the four winds blow You’ll find me going low once again Man of the mountain Man of the sea I’m still just searching For a home to harbor me I burn my bridges slow Relax, enjoy the show Once again you taught me all your secrets I taught you how to lie turned the look of love into an evil eye and I just watch those days go by Diamond rings Time machines All the gold I should’ve bought bended knees Apologies Just a luxury I haven’t got

Love is made for two babe One and one makes you babe No need to be blue babe Love is me and you babe Young love is all a rage when you’re at that tender age Nothing makes you hurt (like love) Nothing breaks your heart (like love) Every kiss gives you a thrill and makes you fall in deeper still Nothing blows your mind (like love) Nothing makes you mine (but love) When you’re older you can see how much deeper love can be Nothing gives you hope (like love) Nothing helps you cope (like love) Every day’s another chance to blossom in a new romance Nothing makes you cry (like love) Nothing gets you high (like love) If you ever need a reason to keep our love through all the seasons I will make you understand, every time you hold my hand Every day’s another chance to blossom in a new romance Nothing blows your mind (like love) Nothing makes you mine (but love)

Hero She mumbles out her feelings and doesn’t care if I don’t get the words She likes to write these lyrics that no-one understands but her And I’ve tried to make the case a million times But there’s nothing I can say that will make her change her mind I say think of all the good that you could do You could be a hero for someone like you And she says I don’t care if you smear me, forget me, or revere me And I don’t need your queries about the things that I’ve written Cause I write songs for zeroes, for freaks, and for weirdos And who needs a hero when all that we’re trying to do is fit in She looks like a survivor from some apocalyptic flick And her gear looks like McGyver fashioned it from gum and toothpicks And I’ve tried to make the case a million times But there’s nothing I can say that will make her change her mind I say think of all the good that you could do You could be a hero for someone like you And she says I don’t care if you smear me, forget me, or revere me And I don’t need your queries about the things that I’ve written Cause I write songs for zeroes, for freaks, and for weirdos And who needs a hero when all that we’re trying to do is fit in In between the rails of your picket fence And don’t take offense But your world is so boring To be honest, I write songs for myself And it’s great if they help somebody else But I’m not going to risk my mental health For a couple extra listens In my heart I’m just a zero. I’m freak and a weirdo I’m no-one’s hero, and I’m never going to fit in And she says I don’t care if you smear me, forget me, or revere me And I don’t need your queries about the things that I’ve written Cause I write songs for zeroes, for freaks, and for weirdos And who needs a hero when all that we’re trying to do is fit in

Solomon’s parable On a block of it I stand Tonight I started running And playing with a band Nothing comes from nothing And everything’s the same From dust we keep coming And dust we will remain I’ve been here before I’ll be here again Not a cog in a machine Just a slave to endless spin In black hole sunshine I laugh in my own face You silly misanthrope Learn your fuckin’ place Nothing comes from nothing And everything’s the same From dust we keep coming And dust we will remain You wild eyed child, again a memory strains your mind Your rage, your loss and abandon, Keep you in a bind Feelin’ gettin’ older Cold as the hinges of Hell Feelin’ Minnesota It’s hard not going nowhere

I see you shuffling I know you know the deal I’m picking up the way You put it down for real All of the cards are dispersed And you like when I Throw it in reverse You know what happens next It’s all hands on deck Uno-oh-oh, uno-oh-oh-oh Tonight I might make you my uno, uno Uno-oh-oh, uno-oh-oh-oh Tonight I might make you my uno, uno Yeah we could win it big Or we could lose it all But when you’re here with me You’ll always have to draw You’re moving like you came to play And I’m a wild card baby I’ll pull you closer and listen I got your heartbeat skipping 0-1-2-3-4-5 6-7-8-9 I’m The one you’re drawn to And now it’s all on you Tally up a perfect score Let’s uno out out on the floor Is that a Draw 4? Or have you got more?

a new time, a tip of the brim the latest stop in a long line of sin ever notice, never to complain get it on- bye, bye train the arbiter of untied knots requests a new locale a change of scene that's less serene; his own little, his own little hell a new afterthough, a slip of the tongue a step back, a bell unrung ain't no chime, ain't no toll, ain't no love of the game sit out baby, bye, bye train the arbiter of untied knots requests a new locale a change of scene that's less serene; his own little, his own little hell
