Aint Got Nobody

I had another nightmare
Go back to sleep honey
Everything will be alright in the end
Rock is dead guitars are dead
In the where are they now category
The Astronauts with their first big hit Aint Got Nobody

Aint got nobody

Aint got nobody aint got nobody
Aint got no one to really love me
Aint got nobody aint got nobody
Aint got no one to kiss and hug me

Ive been so patient all around the nation
There aint no one in all creation

Im living all alone nobody at home
I try to fall asleep I really start to freak

My daddy loved me no one could touch me
Until he went up and left me lonely
Thats human nature we fail each other
We keep on searching for another

I thought I had a friend but she was just pretend
She didnt have a soul nothing I could hold

Aint got nobody aint got nobody
Aint got no one to really love me

Someone I could greet when I come home from work
Someone who would smile and take away the hurt

Aint got nobody aint got nobody
Could you be the one to really love me?
Aint got nobody aint got nobody
Aint got no one to kiss and hug me

Back To The Shack

Sorry guys I didnt realize that I needed you so much
I thought Id get a new audience I forgot that disco sucks
I ended up with nobody and I started feeling dumb
Maybe I should play the lead guitar and Pat should play the drums

Take me back back to the shack
Back to the strat with the lightning strap
Kick in the door more hardcore
Rockin out like its 94
Lets turn up the radio
Turn off those stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack

I finally settled down with my girl and I made up with my dad
I had to go and make a few mistakes so I could find out who I am
Im letting all of these feelings out even if it means I fail
Cause this is what I was meant to do and you cant put that on sale

Take me back back to the shack
Back to the strat with the lightning strap
Kick in the door more hardcore
Rockin out like its 94
Lets turn up the radio
Turn off those stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack

We belong in the rock world
There is so much left to do
If we die in obscurity oh well
At least we raised some hell

Take me back back to the shack
Back to the strat with the lightning strap
Kick in the door more hardcore
Rockin out like its 94
Lets turn up the radio
Turn off those stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack

Lets turn up the radio
Turn off those stupid singing shows
I know where we need to go
Back to the shack

Eulogy For A Rock Band

Goodbye heroes
You had a good run
Fifteen years of
Ruling the planet
But now your lights fading

Adios rock band that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on
Words come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago

Women were screaming
Guys were copying
Cause you moved the people
To sobbing inspiring
You spoke for the world in your songs

Adios rock band that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on
Words come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago

Well never forget the jams you made
Let them fade
Its time that we laid you in your grave
Let them fade
Goodbye

Adios rock band that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on
Words come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago

Lonely Girl

My lonely girl

So baby come on
I know how to dance
And I am the only one who ever takes a chance
Give it a try
Youre not gonna die
Unless you refuse to live and hide away tonight

Im lonely
So homely
Can you relate?

Open your arms
And let me come in
Id never hurt you girl cause that would be a sin

Im blurry
Unworthy
Can you relate?

I know youre scared
I know youre sad
Im here to help you realize its not so bad

Ive Had It Up To Here

Dont wanna find myself homogenized
Dont wanna become the very thing that I despise
Dont want my mommy feedin me culture with a spoon
Dont wanna end up with as much edge as a balloon

Dont want my ideas polluted by mediocrity
Dont want my sentiments diluted
This is important to me

Ive tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just cant take no more
Ive had it up to here

Dont wanna be another boy next door
Dont wanna pander to the masses anymore
Dont need the whole wide world to love me dont wanna win the human race
Dont need my music to be less well known than my face

Dont wanna compromise my out for universal appeal
Dont wanna be mass consumed
Im not a happy meal

Ive tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just cant take no more
Ive had it up to here

Ive moved out from the sticks
Nobody believed in me
Had to cut my way up
Overcome all kinds of adversity
Oh if you think I need approval
From a faceless john oh
Thats where youre wrong

Ive tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just cant take no more
Ive had it up to here

(Ive had it)
(Ive had it)
Ive had it up to here

The British Are Coming

This is the night light up the fire in the forge
Were not the coins in the coffer of old king George

One if by land two if they come by sea
Well show them we are the true sons of liberty

Punk ass redcoats trying to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
Mount your horse cause its time to tell the world

The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

Smear on the soot
Tear up an old deer skin shirt
We know the shot will be heard all around the world

Punk ass redcoats trying to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
Mount your horse cause its time to tell the world

The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

This is the destiny of all mankind
We will shake off these chains and shackles that bind
Come on lets give them everything we have

The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

Da Vinci

I tried taking a picture of you
When I look at it nothing comes through
Sometimes I wonder if youre just a ghost
And I wonder whos haunting you most

I tried describing you to all my friends
But they just told me to polish my lens
Youre sweet generous my sweetheart
I dont even know where to start

Even Da Vinci couldnt paint you
Stephen Hawking cant explain you
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
Im at a loss for words Im at a loss for words
I couldnt put it in a novel
I wrote a page but it was awful
Now I just want to sing your gospel
Im at a loss for words Im at a loss for words

I looked you up on ancestry.com
There was no record of Dad or of Mom
Its like you fell straight out of the sky
And left the scholars to figure out why

I like to think that I know quite a lot
But with you it feels like I forgot
I wish that I could explain who you are
But when I try to I never get far

Even Da Vinci couldnt paint you
Stephen Hawking cant explain you
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
Im at a loss for words Im at a loss for words
I couldnt put it in a novel
I wrote a page but it was awful
Now I just want to sing your gospel
Im at a loss for words Im at a loss for words

Weve come so far now here we are
We made it through the night
I know we will be strong cause still
Everything will be alright

Even Da Vinci couldnt paint you
And Stephen Hawking cant explain you
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
Im at a loss for words Im at a loss for words
I couldnt put it in a novel
I wrote a page but it was awful
Now I just want to sing your gospel
Im at a loss for words Im at a loss for words
Im at a loss for words Im at a loss for words

Go Away

[Rivers Cuomo:]
Cold hearted girl
Dont hurt me like this anymore
Im waiting right outside your door
Saying baby can we talk?

[Bethany Cosentino:]
Stupid boy
You keep on begging but I wont let you in
You keep on crying but you know what you did
Ill never let you back in

[Rivers Cuomo:]
And you say

[Rivers Cuomo + Bethany Cosentino:]
Go away go away
Go away
Go away go away
Go away
Go away go away
Dont come back here anymore
Go away

[Rivers Cuomo:]
I was wrong
I hurt your feelings when I did what I did
I learnt my lesson Ill stop acting like a kid
Can you give me one more chance?

[Bethany Cosentino:]
And so I asked
What does she have that I dont have?
You said you stay but then you went away
Thats why Im telling you to go away

[Rivers Cuomo:]
And you say

[Rivers Cuomo + Bethany Cosentino:]
Go away go away
Go away
Go away go away
Go away
Go away go away
Dont come back here anymore
Go away

[Rivers Cuomo:]
But my life is incomplete without you

[Bethany Cosentino:]
And you miss the little things that I do

[Rivers Cuomo:]
You do
Wont you take me back

[Bethany Cosentino:]
That was your last chance

[Rivers Cuomo + Bethany Cosentino:]
Go away go away
Go away
Go away go away
Go away
Go away go away
Dont come back here anymore
Go away
Go away and dont come back

Cleopatra

We grow old our hearts are dim
But our minds are free to fly where they will
Your beauty is faded youre a broken shell
Its only the weak that fall for your spell

You cant control me no more Cleopatra patra patra
You cant control me no more Cleopatra patra patra

Its time to move to the next life
Youll be reborn as a beautiful child
Youll turn the heads of a million men
Lady Pharaoh the jewel of the Nile

You cant control me no more Cleopatra patra patra
You cant control me no more Cleopatra patra patra

All the wine we tasted all the love we made
All the strumming lyres will decorate your grave
All the ecstasy is gone gone gone away

Five ten fifteen twenty twenty-five thirty thirty-five forty
Youre older youre colder
Five ten fifteen twenty twenty-five thirty thirty-five forty
Youre older youre colder

You cant control me no more Cleopatra patra patra
You cant control me no more Cleopatra patra patra
You cant control me no more Cleopatra patra patra
You cant control me no more Cleopatra patra patra

Foolish Father

Simple love songs
Drenched in bored songs
Coming out a long song

Hesitate to throw your stones
When criminals are victims
Looking back in to our past
Theres no cause for these symptoms now

Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
Hed do anything for you

Think of how destroyed he feels
Walking to his grave plot
Knowing that the one he loves
Hates him with all of her heart

Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
Hed do anything for you

Forgive your foolish father

He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
Hed do anything for you
Anything for you anything for you

Anything anything
Anything for you
Anything for you

Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
