That's It With That
I am not pretending anymore,
I do not care she pretends...
I am not there.
I'm not there to pretend anymore.
Nor do I care,
If she is or is not aware.
And in a pretension,
That is conspicuously ostentatious.
I am through with that kind of neglect,
Of my time...
Thrown away in a haste that's wasted.
'What do they call that?
When something said means the same thing?
You know...
Like two different words having similar meanings? '
Huh, what?
'Doesn't 'conspicuous' and 'ostentatious'
Mean the same thing?
Like 'vainglorious'? '
Look,
Either way...
I call it good riddance!
A 'c-ya' without looking back.
Regardless of what 'they' may call it.
When I'm done with it that's it with that!
I'm not seeking to reference my movement,
To definition.
I'm glad you are paying attention.
But from you,
Right now...
I am in need of some 'em-pa-thy'.
'How am I suppose to know that?
You're the one using all these big words.
Break it down.
Give me some 'com-u-nee-k-shun'
DIG? '

Going Nowhere
This is what you offer me,
A system of dishonesty,
Where life is measured, monetarily,
And I'm just another face.
Another man with the simple skills,
Of staying alive, and paying the bills
I'll Never amount to anything,
Live and die where I've always been.
This is where I'm at, the bills
Still come no matter what,
I'm all grown up, but still I'm going' nowhere
I'm all grown up, but still I'm going' nowhere
Uneducated, though I graduated,
Wish I would have been a little more dedicated,
And got something out of school,
Instead of always playing the fool.
But even if I did for just one day,
Had all the right words that I wanted to say,
It wouldn't make any difference anyway,
Cause no-one's listening
This is where I'm at, the bills
Still come no matter what,
I'm all grown up, but still I'm going' nowhere
I'm all grown up, but still I'm going' nowhere
So save your words,
Just save your words,
Cause I don't care anymore,
So save your words,
Just save your words,
Cause I don't care anymore,
So save your words,
Just save your words,
Cause I don't care anymore,
So save your words,
Just save your words,
Cause I don't care any-more,
My father worked his life away,
In all those years he never missed a day,
There isn't anybody that could say,
He didn't keep his bills paid.
All that time, he never got to do,
All the things in life that he wanted to,
He always kept his family fed,
With the blood and sweat he shed.
With the sacrifice he's made,
This is how he gets repaid,
I'm all grown up, but still I'm going' nowhere
I'm all grown up, but still I'm going' nowhere

I Dont Know What You Want But I Cant Give It Anymore
Did you get what you want
Do you know what it is
Do you care
Is he better than me
Was it your place or his
Who was there
Did you think it was wrong
Do you find that its worse than it was
Has it gone on too long
Do you mind that it hurts me because
Youre breaking my heart
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Youre breaking my heart
Was it cracking the code
Or just filling in time
Was that all
So then whyd you go back
To the scene of the crime
Did he call
Shall I take the blame
Or another assault on how it was
Then well get to the fact
That its always my fault just because
Youre breaking my heart
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Youre breaking my heart
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want
Dont know what you want

Can't Cry These Tears
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the rope
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
Can't find it in the bible
Can't find it on t.v.
Can't find it in diamonds
There's something inside me that just won't allow me to
Find it in music
Can't find it in my soul
Can't find it in chocolate
Oh babe I can't hide it I can't even find it in you
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the rope
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
There's no way she can kiss you the way that I do
I heard that you miss me
Oh you should be careful of whom you've been talking to
Long nights without you have taught me to be strong
I've cut all of my losses
Think no more about it because I couldn't find it in you
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the rope
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
There was a time I thought I'd die
If you should ever leave me high and dry
And you don't want me anymore
It's time to settle the score
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my tether
I've torn all the letters up
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my rope and it's time that I told you so
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
It's time to settle the score

Ain't Going Down
It ain't no big deal, were all lucky to be alive,
I myself don't believe in luck, or taking chances, I will survive.
Every move I make, every twist, every turn,
You scandalize and humble me, I may be slow but I will learn.
cause I ain't going down anymore.
cause I ain't going down anymore.
cause I ain't going down anymore.
cause I ain't going down anymore.
If I had my way, I would probably just sit and stare.
Watch the TV or read a book, I'd have no reason to be aware,
But I ain't got time, I just could not live that way.
I've got to step outside myself, I've still got something left to say.
Chorus
Chorus
Channelled in my groove, part of another space and time.
Please allow me to introduce another good friend of mine.
Some call him fear, some call him righteousness.
I myself ain't clear, and you can't force me to make a guess.

Give Me A Call
Ooh you draw such pictures in my head
Ooh with so few words I know what you said
Until the time comes
To carry the one
Make that dream real
And be sure it stays done
So let that thought
Bloom in your mind
A vision thats caught
Never left behind
You should just give me a call
You should just give me a call
I think about you much more than I should
Now theres a structure nothing had once stood
No more bluffing its cards on the table time
What it must be we will take it as a sign
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
Sunset and my love left me
winter and Im so far
In darkness will it lead me
where the meanings are
I miss and think of you often
no flowers I forgot them
the weathers the same
nothing happens
no loves a hard lesson
patience and years will refashion
what hours will undo
and circles not yet quite circles
somehow close true
I keep on hearing the things that you said
I keep on feeling you go straight to my head
No more bluffing its cards on the table time
What it must be we will take it as a sign
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
I call you up but you wont talk to me
No space for words theres just no room
I drift away but you pull me in
Im the ocean youre the moon
Ooh how do I know if its just me
Sometimes I think that it must be
You gotta know you can trust me
I think about you much more than I should
Now theres a structure nothing had once stood
No more bluffing its cards on the table time
What it must be we will take it as a sign
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
So just give me a call

How Come You Don't Call Me
But all I wanna know baby is
If what we had was good...
I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin' hear that sh*t)
What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Still light the fire on the rainy night
Still like it better when your holding me tight
Everybody say
Everybody say that we should never part (mmm)
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart
All I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore
Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try
I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please please please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa
Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone
How come you don't call me
(why must you torture me)
How come you don't call me

Call My Name
When this old world has let you down
And friends no longer want you around
When you feel burdened down with care
And troubles seem so hard to bear
Call my name
Hear me talkin' to ya baby
Call my name
Don't ya hear what i'm sayin'?
Call my name
A-whoa-oh-oh-oh
(call my name)
And i'll be there
If ya feel that you're all alone
And sick inside away from home
When you no longer want to try
Or care if you should live or die
Call my name
Hear me talkin' to ya baby
Call my name
Don't ya hear what i'm sayin'?
Call my name
A whoa-woah-oh-oh
(call my name) yeah
An i'll be there
Yeah

When evra'thing that you try has failed
And you never even get no mail
Well life to you seems such a bore
And blues come callin' 'round your door
Call my name
Hear me talkin' to ya baby
(call my name)
Call my name
Don't you hear what i'm sayin'?
Call my name
Any time ya need me (call my name)
Anytime ya want me baby
All ya gotta do is (call my name) call me

All ya gotta do is (call my name) call me

Epiphany
Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear
'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the thing's I should have said
So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
wash away 'cause i don't take anymore

Dont Call It Love
(tom snow / dean pitchford)
Nobody believes that I really care for you
They dont think my heart is true
I dont think you agree
You know Im a lifetime guarantee
So, if they ask you what you mean to me
Dont call it love
Heavens above
We got a better thing, mmm
Dont call it love
That aint enough
Just tell them youre my everything
Nobody believes we got something they aint got
Theyve never seen a fire this hot
They never got that far
Burning as bright as any star
So, if they asked you what your feelings are
Dont call it love
Heavens above
We got a better thing
So, dont call it love
That aint enough
Just tell them youre my everything
Feels so good
Holding tight
Through the night
Ah, but they can call it what they like
But they aint got it right, no, no, no
So, dont call it love
Heavens above
We got a better thing
Dont call it love
That aint enough
Just tell them youre my everything, baby, please
Dont call it love
Heavens above
We got a better thing, yes we do, baby
Dont call it love

We got a better thing
Dont call it love

Cream of a dream is the cause of the itch

C.o.d. - care of the devil
Care of the devil in me
The curse of love is the cause of the pain
The crime of the day is when you do it again
Call of the doctor, cash on demand
If you give them a finger, theyll take off your hand

Feelings are the hardest words to say

Through a million souls, a million fears
Thats no way to say goodbye

Why Now? ?
Many purpose, didn't you reject?
My eagerness to meet you, didn't you neglect?
Only once a day you call, my call u won't answer
I pick your call but u talk like u r in mood: anger
Said you never loved me or gave a damn care
Even if I die, bleed till death or cry many tear
It really looked like u were not lying..
Shouted at me n you stopped calling..
After few days, then you suddenly call
Just because you saw me in hospital
Now tell me why did you call, me? ? ?
While before you said u don't care or love me? ?

It Doesn't Matter Any More
(Paul Anka)
There you go and baby here am I
Oh well, you left me here so I could sit and cry
Will you apologize what have you done to me
Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
You was so dazy how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
There's no use in me of cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days over you.
Well, you'll go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new baby we'll say we're through
You won't matter anymore.

Will The Words Come Back?
Words slip off our pen
like warm butter off a knife.
They fall in unison across the page
with everything we write.
Then one day the words don’t flow
in unison like they used to before.
They have no rhythm within them
and just become no more than words.
We look at what we’ve written
and there is no bounce in them.
The words become no more than words
once written by a creative hand.
There is no meaning in what they say
they have no heart anymore.
They are just words written on a page
with no rhyme or reason for them being there.
Some call it a writer’s block;
others call it stagnation of the mind.
The creative juices fall away to nothing,
no spark to be kindled,
no emotions to be released,
no protests to be made,
no stories to be assembled
like a jigsaw in your mind.
Just an empty pen with words
that don’t make sense anymore.
Struggles without feeling,
ideas leading nowhere
on a spiralling downward turn.
You are no longer a writer,
your creativity is gone
and the only question you have,
will the words come came back?

New Test Leper
I cant say that I love jesus
That would be a hollow claim.
He did make some observations
And Im quoting them today.
judge not lest ye be judged.
What a beautiful refrain.
The studio audience disagrees.
Have his lambs all gone astray?
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
you are lost and disillusioned!
What an awful thing to say.
I know this show doesnt matter.
It means nothing to me.
I thought I might help them understand
But what an ugly thing to see.
i am not an animal
Subtitled under the screen.
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break.
I sat silent 5 commercuials
I had nothing left to say
The talk show host was index-carded
All organized and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened
What a sad parade.
What a sad parade
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

Sometimes i sit and think about yesterday...
Of all those simple words that i didn't even say.
I just sit back and wonder why... (wonder why...)
...everything is just bought and sold,
And why everyone listens to what they're told.
No matter what you do you'll never get ahead
And to everyone else you're just better off dead!
Sometimes i sit and watch you on t.v.
And i just think about how cruel it would be...
To call your family at a quarter 'til four.

How Come U Dont Call Me Anymore?
{b-side of 1999}
I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything u said
I always thought our love was so right

I always thought ud be by my side
Mama, now ure gone
What I wanna know baby, what we had was good
How come u dont call me anymore?

Listen
I still light the fire on a rainy night
I still like it better when u holding me tight
Now hold it
Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part
Oh yeah
I always did think we looked kind of cute together myself
Say to me baby, baby, baby, why, why u wanna go and break my heart?
Whyd u wanna do it?
All I wanna know baby, what we had was good
How come u dont call me anymore?
Why dont u call me girl?
Sometimes it feels like Im gonna die
If u dont call me, mama, girl, u gotta try
Down on my knees beggin u please, please
Why cant u call me sometime baby, yeah
