Off The Cuff

i don't know if it's plain to see
but i don't need nobody

if you know what's good
you'll stay away from me
i don't know if it's plain to see
but i don't need nobody

and it is coming down on me
i don't know if its plain to see
but i got my own identity

well this human race
aint my reality
i get by with no one but me
and i don't think you're listening
hey hey hey hey

i don't know if it's plain to see
get away

i don't know if it's plain to see
but i don't need nobody

Jagged Gillettes
Verse I
I know you know this
We all know it’s just show biz
No shock that what they want
Is sex, drugs & violence
& I know I know it seems
I’ve got what you want & it’s free
But pay attention to the breakdown
Nothing costs like the best in town
Verse II
I know it’s so hard
Kid wants to be a rock-n-roll star
Grows his hair & gets tattoos
Smokes dope maybe you should too
& I know I know it seems
they’ve got what you want & it’s free
but pay attention to the details
if it bleeds you know it’s for sale
Chorus
That’s the story of the Jagged Gillettes
Beat down & left for dead
That’s the story of the Jagged Gillettes
Bloody knife left in your back
That’s the story of the Jagged Gillettes
One band I can’t forget

Nine More Minutes
once again, i'm late on tuesday
i'm swimming in my bed
alarm clock, keeps on screaming
try to lift my weary head
roll over and i stab blindly
searching for that snooze
i've got no time to stay in bed
but there's nothing i'd rather do
world's so cold
but it's warm in bed
9 more minutes, 9 more minutes x2
9 minutes later & i'm still dreaming
here we go again
the sun's not up, so why should i be
you know i'd rather stay in
i know that life is pricey
we've all got bills to pay
but if i'm late today it should be ok
you know it's no, no, no, no big deal
world's so cold
but it's warm in bed
9 more minutes, 9 more minutes x2

Should I Stay or Should I Go (the Clash)
girl you've got to let me know
should i stay or should i go
if you say that you are mine
i'll be here to the end of time
so you've got to let me know
should i stay or should i go
it's always please please please
you're happy when i'm on my knees
one day its fine the next its black
so if you want me off your back
so come on and let me go
should i stay or should i go
should i stay or should i go now
should i stay or should i go now
if i go there will be trouble
if i stay there will be double
so come on and let me know
should i stay or should i go
this indecision is getting me
if you don't want me set me free
just who am i supposed to be
don't you know which clothes even fit me
come on and let me know
should i cool it or should i blow

Drain
i want it all
i need more more
then you happen to say
how all the games that you've played
are coming back on your plate
it doesn't matter anyway
but you want me to stay
so you say what you say
like you'll push him away
he never mattered anyway
it's too late x3
no more no more
my heart so sore
shifting under the strain
and floating right down the drain
there's no time to complain
like that would matter anyway
as i reach for the door
my heart splits at the core
burden falls to the floor
but nothing matters anymore

J Savage & the Episcopals
J, he walks with a purpose
With the weight of the world (on his shoulders)
He blesses & curses

Where he went wrong
When it got out of hand

God Save the Episcopals

But you can’t pull the trigger, you gotta believe me
J x 4
Repeat Chorus

You’ve gotta put up (or shut up)
You’ve gotta make a decision
J, the Episcopals know
It’s a long way to the top
If you’re gonna rock & roll, rock & roll
Repeat Chorus
Bridge II
J cuts loose when he hits the stage
What do you know the Episcopals saved the

Vain
i know this girl she wear’s Xs on her eyes
her favorite story is her miserable life
she’s got a new house & she drives a nice car
her daddy bought it but he owes her some more
chorus
she says, I’m a product of my environment (so sad)
she says, somebody save me cause I’m too lazy (lazy lazy)
she says, I’m society’s responsibility
it’s my vagina x4
it’s mine
she’s feeling better ‘til they close down the bar
if not for bad luck then she’d have none at all
whatever problems you got, she’s got ‘em worse
she’s always loaded but there’s blood on her purse
repeat chorus
there’s nothing cheap about the look of her skin
and when she has to she will do it again
every wrinkle makes her break down and cry
you have to look good when you’re dead on the inside
repeat chorus
