Main Attraction

J. spinks
I bet youd like this seat tonight
Its not a show youll see on sundays
If you should blink just once or twice
You might need this piece of advice
Youll never get another chance
Dont take your eyes away for nothing
The main attractionss gonna start
This aint no place to be weak hearted
The main attractions on tonight
So dont forget to turn the lights down
I thought Id seen it all before
Something tells me dont be so sure
Anticipation on my mind
I cant imagine what shell do this time
It seems more special thaneffect
And this show isnt even over yet
The main attractions still to come
Shes just a teaser whe shes starting
The main attractions on tonight
So dont forget turn out the light
Id like to see if youre for real
So cant we make some kind of deal yeah
You say theres no such word as cant
Making you the girl that Id want
Lets get this intro out of the way
It can wait until another day
The main attractions coming up
And you aint leaving till its over
The main attractions on tonight
So dont forget to turn the lights out
The main attractions on tonight
So dont forget turn out the light

Scoring Goals

I have a goal or score to make,
In the end there is a solution.
Their activities range from slow to fast
And the stages for excellence are many.
But teams must be picked, dangers solved,
Before a successful action arises from the soul.
Inside the bones of contention is the formula,
With this formula a goal is scored and the game won.

I think everyone has a certain kind of formula in their life. When you deviate from that formula, you're going to fail big or you're gonna win big.

Most action is based on redemption and revenge, and that's a formula. Moby Dick was formula. It's how you get to the conclusion that makes it interesting.

Formula

A formula has been contrived for our benefit,
Once more the divisions can keep,
Reasons are for living, ones to admit.

May defenders arrive too early to befit,
A new religion contacts us asleep,
A formula has been contrived for our benefit.

What do we control when we backbit?
The whole collision concerns the cheap,
Reasons are for living, ones to admit.

Mastering our language is needed to baby-sit,
The adult who does this is no barkeep,
A formula has been contrived for our benefit.

Strange honesty is at the bottom of the bandit,
He who claims divinity, loving us so deep,
Reasons are for living, ones to admit.

Studying behaviour relies on the fit,
A man studies for the books to heap,
Reasons are for living, ones to admit,
A formula has been contrived for our benefit.

Action & Action

you really think you're bigger than this
to the tune of ten thousand lisps
who would have thought we'd represent
when i can't take a compliment?
overexposure is the key and any focus on me is appreciated
as it should be
no wonder now
i finally found the right formula for...
you taught me how
i play the fool
every mistake that i make
i couldn't have made without you
what's said is done and plain to see
you take it all too seriously
here's all you get from me
what better way to make an honest mistake
than a televised hand of fate
when the world's closing in on you
a decision would be overdue
now nothing left is out of hand
a stronger jaded man stands
if the world is ending then we toast to it
i'm stronger now but not without the right formula for...
i'm down for whatever
what's there left to wait for?

Well, I mean, Congress did originally set the formula for the state grants, and they guaranteed every state a minimum formula. So that was a congressional decision.

Whether you are from Minnesota, Wisconsin or any other Northern tier state, you are not going to like the reimbursement formula. The problem we face is that we wouldn't have that formula if a majority of the states didn't like it, and they have the majority of the votes.

Formula for Making Rank

Our mentor gave us this formula for making rank
'Work your boss's priorities...'
More than a little pagan given Gospel sensitivities
Of a group of ordained ministers -
But not a bad formula for survival -
In a world where Christmas was located over the winter solstice.

While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course.

Neon

( japanese bonus track )
This shower will beam us to
A blue changing too yellow scenery
Bus noises all day long
They make you whisper fragile words
Losing energy
And do we belong here
Youve got this dave berry effect on me
Dont worry
This formula one race
Wont change our space station
Apollo in germany
You frightened me to death when you fell out of your bed
A bladder can hurt so much
Especially with a berlin neon hospital touch
And do we belong here
Youve got this dave berry effect on me
Dont worry
This formula one race
Wont change our space station
And do we belong here
Youve got this dave berry effect on me
Dont worry
This formula one race
Wont change our space station
And do we belong here
Youve got this dave berry effect on me
Dont worry
This formula one race
Wont change our space station
