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
chours
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

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

Verse IV

You’ve gotta put up (or shut up)
You’ve gotta make a decision

Never Mind That I Love You
One moiré time girl from the beginning
You’ve got to tell me what you’re thinking
Cause I’m at a loss for the signals you’re sending
The scars that you’ve caused will always be with me
chorus
Know, I need to know
Because it’s so hard
to let you go, even though
and never mind that I love you
you waste all my time with your pointless obsessions
you say that you’re ok, despite the depression
the thing that I’ve done to gain you affections
your lack of response brings me to question
repeat chorus
I can’t discern the truth from the fiction
I’ve had my fill of your contradictions
The words that you say, they mask what you’re feeling
Your spirit is weak but your body is willing
repeat chorus
repeat verse I

Sunflower
I’ve had enough
I can’t go on
I’ve loved you for so long
You give me nothing
But you’re my sunflower
Though you refuse to grow
Inside my garden, yet you still blossom for everyone else
I guess I lose again
But I’m too old to care
I’ve been searching for so long
Fools gold that’s all I’ve found
But you’re my guiding star
In the blackest night
Though you will not light my way
Others go and I must stay
You’re my sunflower
Though you refuse to grow
Inside my garden, yet you still blossom for everyone else
My hands are cold
My lips are blue
My breath is shallow and this song is over for everyone else
There’s a bright, bright light shinning down on me
There are 500 angels trying to set me free
Singing knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
and I want to get back to where I was before
Now this kid named Billy that I used to know
Says come on brother it’s time to go
Come on brother it’s time to go (x2)
Now wait a minute Billy why can’t you see
I want to kiss my baby (x 3)
So if heaven can wait I can steal one kiss
if heaven can wait I can steal one kiss (x2)
if heaven can’t wait she’s the one I’ll miss

Who Screwed Up the Rest of the World
Went to the store to buy a spine,
nothin’ fancy something on sale.
Looked in a book to but a wife,
my credit card brought her though the mail
Life is so easy when you do it my way.
Who screwed up the rest of the world.
Picked up the phone and talked to China,
did it just for the way they sound.
Made a bet with someone else’s money,
when I lost you know I couldn’t be found.
chorus
Can’t keep a job cause all the gays there,
you see the way they look at me.
Give me some money and I’ll start a new career,
I’ll go the school and get my degree,
for free.
chorus
Give it to me, Give it to me, and I might just set you free.
If you want to give it give to me.
You can be free,
you can be free, of me

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

BLEED
this pressure keeps building up inside me
and visions rush through my head quite freely
and though i'm not sure i even care for you
i'd like you to reach out and touch me
this pressure keeps building up inside me
i thought by now somebody would take me
and pull their painted nails right through
and bleed out this pain that's been choking me
pain bleed out -- stress scream out
my head is swimming
my libido is growing
my standards are falling
and i just want to
i just want to be inside you
then maybe i couldn't see right through you
i'd like you to reach out and touch me
but i wont say a word so nothing's new
pain bleed out -- stress scream out
