Irony
02:55

stop, you're overdoing everything
just like your father did
and you, you never listen to me at all
irony
what are you doing to me?
why you always give me
irony what are you giving to me
how can i be free?
and when i'm a victim of circumstance
i try to reason why i lose
i never quite understand at all
irony
what are you doing to me?
why you always give me
irony what are you giving to me
how can i be free?
so if there's an explanation to this
it's so ironic 'cause i need
to figure out what i mean in all
irony
what are you doing to me?
why you always give me
irony what are you giving to me
how can i be free?

Pop Music

if you see a change
yes, it's true
i'm a useful man
in these shoes
(down down down)
and you know by heart
pop music makes you smart
like me
when you see the wind
blow my way
i'm here tomorrow
not today
and you like the style
pop music makes you smile
at me
i was a little bit nauseous, see
i couldn't find sign of a cause, so
slowly my ears were curing me
easily listening pause
come onto my stage
play your head
you can call your friends
tell what i said
and you know by heart
pop music is the start.

Someone said today
That you're gonna be coming my way
Don't know what to do
Except get ready to say
I miss you, I need you
Well, I know that it's wrong
That you been away so long
It's been lonely at night
Especially when I hear our song
I love you.
So come my way
If you wanna be by my side
Come my way
Well, I been told you care
And that you were leaving there
Well, I'll be waiting here
And I will say a prayer
To get you, to keep you
Well, if you're passing through
There's one thing I wish you would do
Tell me that you're mine
And I'll be loving you, loving you.
Come my way
If you wanna be by my side
Come my way
Tell me how you feel about me, girl
You're the prettiest girl in the world, I'd say
Let me hold you in my arms, a girl
She's the prettiest girl, oh yeah yeah yeah
Well, someone said today
That you're gonna be coming my way
Well, I hope that it's true
Cause I am ready to say I love you, I do
Come my way
If you wanna be by my side
Come my way
If you want to take a ride
Come my way
Come my way.

and he needs a friend cause it's getting near the end
the winner the winner
he sits at home with the toys

You're a rotten so and so
You're a rotten so and so
You're a rotten so and so
You're a rotten so and so
Didn't vote for you for a second term
Cost you the election
Didn't vote again for another term
Went with my intuition
You're a rotten so and so
You're a rotten so and so
You're a rotten so and so
You're so rotten, don't you know
Bet my money on a bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bae
Couldn't hope to find any fair resolve
Ran with my opinion
You're a rotten so and so
You're a rotten so and so
You're a rotten so and so
You're a rotten so and so
Didn't vote for you for a seventh term
Cost you the election
Didn't vote again for another term
Stuck with my selection
You're a virtuoso
You are going solo
You are playing solo
You're the virtuoso
You're a rotten so and so
You're so rotten, don't you know?
So think about it!
And act accordingly
Lead by example!

Tell me what do I do with the rest of my life?
Tell me how is it possible? How is it done?
Tell me how do I deal with this rust on my knife?
Tell me what do I do with the rest of my life?
Ahhhhhh...
Don't bore us,
Get to the chorus
Adore us,
But don't ignore us
Delores,
Are you a Taurus?
Wake Forest,
Pianosaurus.
What do I do with the rest of my life?

if love is just a part of living
then love is clearly just a situation
i'm too old to fall in love with you
i'm getting too old to live with me
do it
is love among your friends
a roast beef sandwich
see my pistol
it is crystal clear
in the hallways
love is always near
do you listen
to my this and that
i'm too old to fall in love
again

Take Back
02:27

Take me back
I really didn't wanna come here
I haven't found anyone nearly as
Nice as me, can you
Take me home
I really never meant to leave then
Someone was a-pullin' my sleeve when
I wasn't payin' attention, can you
Take me in
There's only one place to be now
Lying down on my bed to sleep
Now that I'm tired and bored, can't you
Take cover
It's dangerous being outsider
Nauseous from the car ride
Potholes and bumps in the road, can you
Flag a cab
Transport my ass to the shelter
Book me in a posh motel
Room 62, check in, take back
I really didn't wanna come here
I haven't met anyone nearly as
Smart as you, take back.

Another Day Slips Away
04:28

New Sun . Get Up . Get Out . Go Hard
Hook Up . Get Down . Go Home
Sit Back . Eat Up . Tune In . Retire
Impress the memory foam
Sleep and eat, love, work and play
Another day slips away
Sleep and eat, love, work and play
Another day slips away
Again . Arise . Light Out . Look Sharp
Think Fast . Spend Save . and Earn
Give Up . Go Home . Make Out . Make Art
In spite of no return
Sleep and eat, love, work and play
Another day slips away
Sleep and eat, love, work and play
Another day slips away
Days rushing by, Moving at the speed of Light,
Like a dream, like a vapor
Winter Days, Summer Nights
Whirling Past much too Soon
Setting Suns, Rising Moons
Seasons Come Say Hello, Say goodbye people go
Say goodbye people go, Say goodbye people go
Another Sun . Take Off . Chill Out
Breathe In . Relax . Just Be
Get Right . Turn Left . Eat Out . Get Back
Enjoy the scenery
Sleep and eat, love, work and play
Another day slips away
Sleep and eat, love, work and play
Another day slips away!

you might ask where you are
you're with me
you've endured me so far
i'm with you
i won't have to know
til it's time to go
you don't have to worry about my love
i might give you a clue
some secret
i could whisper to you
some wisdom
i don't have to tell
wait for it to gel
cause you don't have to worry about my love
i want you to stay inside me
lay beside me
let us get some rest
i think you are good
living like you should
you don't have to worry about murray frank
you don't have to worry about my love

there's such a feeling in my room
it's like i'm in another calendar year
the future seems dreadful
it's obvious to all
the times have changed no more
we are certain to fall
the future seems worthless
society to blame
the price is out of reach
american con-game
there's such a pattern of thought here
it's like i'm just another rock 'n roll fool
i want to go back in time
i want to go back in time
the future seems dismal
for us in mid-thirties
the general opinion
never escapes gerdes
there's such a feeling in my room
it's like i'm in another part of the crowd
the future r.stevie
may well give up the fight
i want to go back in time
i want to go back in time
the future seems dreadful
it's obvious to me
the times have changed no moore
we can certainly see
there's such a lack of emotion
it's like i'm justanotherrock'nrollfool
the future seems dreadful

Everywhere at the end of time
by The Caretaker
supported by 4 fans who also own “Afterlife”
I first listened through this a couple years ago, and I don't know why I hadn't bought it until now. Regardless, I think everyone should listen through this in its entirety at least once, the best way I can describe it is beautifully haunting. I'm sure my favorite track will keep changing forever, too.
