Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.

Good Advice
Open the window I need some air
So many people and theres such disorder here
Familiar faces found out lies
Turn to the street now I watch the passers by
I wonder what they recognize
And what theyd recommend to fill my days
Possessions start to wear me down
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Instead they harbor secret thoughts
They break through windows that have twice been locked
I have to walk to wear me out
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
I throw my arms and pray to leave
I gotta head for love like is inside me
My lips press tight so not to drown
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Im nervous
Give me some good advice to wear me down

Nothing Has Been Proved (Demo For Dusty)
=========
A nervous boy in several ways
I never knew the world could operate this way
I was nervous when we stopped to speak
And the world came crashing around my feet
We don't talk of love
We're much too shy
But nervously we wonder when and why
A nervous boy, in spite of which
I never thought I could tremble as much as this
Your flashing eyes and sudden smiles
Are never quite at ease, and neither am I
Oh, we'll talk about it all some night
But nervously we never get it
Right
From the start I approved of you
Right from the moment you turned to face me
A nervous boy from another town
With a nervous laugh and a concentrated frown
I spoke too fast with watchful eyes
Of a recent past and some nostalgic surprise
We don't talk of love
We're much too shy
But nervously we wonder when and
Smile
Knowing why I approved of you
Right from the moment you turned to face me

Worn Out Nervous Condition
Written by John Mellencamp
I'm in a worn out nervous condition over you
I'm in a worn out nervous condition over you
I thought we were having fun
We were walking in the sun baby me and you
Now you give me the cheek every time we kiss
And I don't know what to do so
Go ahead and break my heart
It's your time to break my heart
I'm in a worn out nervous condition over you
I heard the miracle in your voice
The miracle gave me no choice
What am I gonna do here by myself
I'm so afraid of being all by myself so
Go ahead and break my heart
It's your time to break my heart
I'm in a worn out nervous condition over you
I'm in a worn out nervous condition over you
Go ahead and break my heart
It's your time to break my heart
Go ahead and break my heart
It's your time to break my heart
I'm in a worn out nervous condition over you
I'm in a worn out nervous condition over you

Nervous Shakedown
freeze, said the man cruisin the beat
you get your hands up and spread your feet
dont you move an inch, I heard him say
or youll be doin time until the judgement day
And he said, dont tell me no lies, give me alibis
cause if you cross my path, youll be doin life
Its a dirty lie
Chorus:
Its a shakedown
And its a nervous shakedown
A nervous shakedown
Another nervous shakedown
Its a shakedown
And its a nervous shakedown
We got a shakedown
Another nervous shakedown
(its more like a set-up)
take a dime, said the man, you can make one call
You got a one-way ticket to the county hall
Well, the judge looked high and I looked low
And when he smiled at me it was a one-man show
He said, two to five, the jury decides
Double parole if you survive
Its a dirty lie
Chorus
Law is gonna get you this time
And throw away the key
Chorus
Its a shakedown on - you

Nervous Alibi
J. spinks
Cherry, where you been since 9 this morning?
Give me all the names who saw you there
But if they cant remember
I know that youll surrender
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, whats this game you think youre playing
Dont you know I hate those clothes you wear
For Ive seen men undress you
And with their eyes caress you
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, name the day and Ill be waiting
Give me just one chance to show I care
I know if were together
It can go on forever
Another nervous alibi

The Air Near My Fingers
Life is so boring
Its really got me snoring
Im wearing out the flooring
In a cheap motel
But I dont have to work
And I might be sinning
But I never have to listen to
The rings of school bells
Dont you remember?
You told me in december
That a boy is not a man
Until he makes a stand
Will, Im not a genius
But maybe youll remember this
I never said I wanted to be a man
I get nervous when she comes around
My mom is so caring
She really got me staring
At all the crazy little things
She does for sure
And I cant seem to think of
Another kind of love
That a boy could ever get
From anyone but her
I get nervous when she comes around

Most shows, you really have to force it. And everybody's nervous, and the network is nervous, and they've all got their notepads out, and they're all going to give notes on what they think is funny, and everybody's trying to spin their jokes, and this was so - the script was so good that we didn't have to really do anything, and it made it so easy for us to do well.

National Health
Nervous tension, mans invention,
Is the biggest killer thats around today
Let the tension out or it will build and build inside
And strike you down some day
Nervous tension, mans invention
Is the biggest waste of human energy
Let the tension out, or it will surely kill
And that will be a tragedy
Valium helps you for a while
But somehow valium seems to bring me down
Theres no pill I can recommend where side effects
Arent guaranteed to send you round the bend
You gotta let out the tension
With a little bit of exercise
Loosen up your muscles
And feel the knots in your body untie
We oh we oh
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
It sure beats quaaludes
It sure beats cocaine
Even freud recommends it
Cos it relieves the strain
Altogether now
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
Some people say it sends you deaf
Some people say it sends you blind
Some people say it makes you old
Some people say it blows your mind
But I say
If its good for your health
Its good for your mind
If it keeps you together
Its really all right
We oh we oh
Oh cmon, kick the cat
Oh oh oh oh its the state of the national health
Oh oh oh oh blame it on the national health
Nervous tension, nervous tension, nervous tension
Nervous tension. nervous tension, nervous tension
Nervous tension, mans invention
Is the biggest killer thats around
Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah

The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 135
I was at my art class studying shading
When a stranger caught my eye
They seemed to be doing their best evading
Glances from passers by
Sat at the back in dark glasses
And large coat and big floppy hat
I’d noticed them there in most of my classes
Looking quite rounded and fat
I wandered over to take a look
When something became very clear
And by great surprise I was took
It was an elephant shaking with fear
‘Don’t tell what I really am please
I want to learn this craft
But when I told the men on the trapeze
They just choked and laughed
The same was true for the whole circus
They didn’t think I was real
They do their best to deter us
Not caring just how we feel
I’ve always been the nervous sort
The big top never suited me
When the crowds gathered my only thought
Was to just turn and flee
But I was filled with a strong desire
A need to paint and create
It burned in me just like a fire
I knew that I could be great’
So I didn’t tell, though it was kind of funny
And he studied harder and moved himself on
And finally decided to make some money
And followed his fortune up to London
So if you are in London town
And getting your portrait done there
And the artist seems very grey and round
He’s nervous so please don’t stare

Thing Ill Never Say
Da da da da da
[verse 1]
Im tugging at my hair
Im pulling at my clothes
Im trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
Im staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
Im searching for the words inside my head
coz Im feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
coz I know youre worth it...youre worth it...yeah
[chorus]
If I could say what I want to say
Id say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down on one knee...
Marry me today!
Guess Im wishing my life away...
With these things Ill never say
[verse 2]
It dont do me any good
Its just a waste of time
What use is it to you, whats on my mind?
If it aint comin out
Were not goin anywhere
So why cant I just tell you that I care?
coz Im feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
coz I know youre worth it...youre worth it...yeah
[chorus]
If I could say what I want to say
Id say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down on one knee
Marry me today!
Guess Im wishing my life away...
With these things Ill never say

Whats wrong?
With my song?
These words keep slippin away...
I stutter...i stumble
Like Ive got nothin to sa-ay...
coz Im feelin nervous
Tryin to be so perfect
coz I know youre worth it...youre worth it...yeah
Da da da da da da da da da...
Da da da da da da da da da...
Guess Im wishing my life away
With these things Ill never say
If I could say what I want to say
Id say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?

I want to see you go down on one knee
Marry me today

A New Experience
wanting to do something
they've never done before
he picks her up one morning
so that they may explore
riding beside him
butterflies in her tummy
nervous about this day
she starts to feel funny
the look on her face
making him nervous as well
what has he done?
what if this day is shot to hell?
pulling over along the road
they have to have a plan
they have no course of action
he now ha to be a man
movies and meal
they conclude
how bad can it be?
now just to set a mood
off they go
but what to see?
cartoons is all there is
she likes it, so he lets her be
in the dark holding hands
sitting silently side by side
she wants a kiss
but can't get over her pride
soon it's done
and they leave
through the hoards
they start to weave
it's time to eat
her stomach is growling
squeezing her hand
he turns to her smiling
a simple kiss
to let her know
he understands and
letting his emotions show
they satisfy their need
but now they've got another
they've already decided
it won't be today, so now it's just a bother
their day is almost over
she's never felt this way before
today his become more than her lover
now she wants more
