Useless Information

Sister jane has a little book
Full of autographs of useless people
Seems a waste in the time she took
And it gets me mad which makes us equal
Ooh, hundreds of people left out in the cold
Wearing the shoes that were silver and gold
Useless information
Tons of useless information
Seems to fill my head
With nowhere else to go
(isnt it amazing)
Mrs. pain at the dairy game
With the news about her operation
Will the... ever make the rain
Wash away such useless information
Chorus
Isnt it amazing
Now you can see why conversation is dying
And time is passing you by
Turn your ears to the weatherman
Saying it be colder in december
Get your boots and your....
Its been the same for years
So I remember
Chorus
Chorus
Hundreds of people filling my head with useless information

Useless

A useless life
Useless excuse.
A waste of life
Waste of breath.
Useless useless

Useless bitch.
Useless in every way
Just so useless

My life is complicated
It is useless
Its a hopeless cause.

I may as well just end things
And go far away

Thanks For The Information

Thanks for the information
Never give a sucker an even break
When hes breaking through
To a new level of consciousness
There always seems to be more
Obstacles in the way
Thanks for the information I know
Its only a combat zone
Thanks for the memory,
Ill just have
To carry on on my own
Chorus:
And its wonderful and its marvelous
How we can ever make it through
Sometimes I wonder how we can ever
Make it from day to day
Thanks for the information
What you gain on the hobby horse you lose on the swing
I like mine over easy
And you can have yours sunny side up
I dont wanna quibble over insignificant details
And Ive tried every trick in the book
Thanks for the information
I know I should look before I leap
Chorus:
And its wonderful and its marvelous
How we can ever make it through
Sometimes I wonder how
We can ever make it at all
Thanks for the information
Never give a sucker an even break
And with her everything light becomes heavy
And everything heavy becomes light
They took me down to the watering hole
Because I happened to mention I was dying of thirst
Then they told me he who believes first will be later
And he who believes later will be first
Chorus:
And its wonderful etc etc....
Thanks for the information
Oh never give a sucker an even break
When youre on to something its a
Dime in a dozen people start
Coming out of the woodwork
Thanks for the invitation
I know I must be on to something big
Everytime I take two steps forward
I end up having to take three back
Chorus:
And its wonderful etc etc....
Thanks for the information
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Every time Im ready for a major breakthrough
I always have to think in terms of better of worse
Thanks for the information
Thanks for the memory

Can't See

We were both cast forth from the same pale hand
And we both moved freely in the shadowlands
And we both were sculpted by the same cold wind
And we both had armor that was made of tin
And i tried to find you, but it's useless
And i tried to speak, but it was useless
And i felt so bad and i didn't know why
And it didn't get better as time went by
I was there for you, but you turned away
And i tried to find you, but you turned away
And i tried to find you, but it's useless
And i tried to speak, but was useless
And i tried to find you, but it's useless
And you're so close, but i can't see you
And you're right there, but i can't see you
And i feel so dumb and i didn't know what to do
You were right there but i can't see you
And i realize that it's useless
And i want to fight, but it's useless
And i know you're there, but it's useless
And you're everywhere, but it's useless
And i tried to say it, but my tongue got tied
And i tried to say it, but i was numb inside
And i can't see you anymore
And my peace of mind has gone through the door
And i realize that it's useless
And i thought i was right, but it was useless
And i know you're there, but it's useless
And you're everywhere, but it's useless
And i can't see now in front of my nose
And i know you're there, and i know you're close
And you're fading away - now you disappear
And i try to focus, but i can't see clear
And i don't know why i feel this way
And i can't control myself anyway
And i don't know why i feel this way
And i can't control myself anyway
And i feel so bad, but it's useless
And i feel so bad, but it's useless
And i feel so bad, but it's useless
And i can't see... now in front of my face.

Here It Comes

I'm not so sure And yet I know
Give me your lie
It's worthless anyhow
And here it comes

I'm not so cold
As I like to think I am
Though I'll be found
Forever in your pain
And here it comes

I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with no one to love
I'm just useless for her
And your useless for her

I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with no one
I'd rather be no one than someone with no one to love
I'm just useless for her
Yeah your useless for her
I'm just useless for her

Silent Running

God only knows this isnt heaven.
The promises made, we never keep them.
Chorus:
Were walking on air, were taking our time.
But God only knows this isnt reason or rhyme.
Ive had this feeling I dont believe in.
Its happened before, I just reject it.
Repeat chorus
These are the feelings, I know their outcome.
Its useless pretending, Id like to beat them.
Repeat chorus
Were walking on air, were taking our time, this time.
But God only knows, this isnt reason or rhyme.
Were walking on air...

Carrie

Sorry to disturb you,
But I was in the neighbourhood,
About a friend Ive her picture,
Could you take a look?
Oh I appriciate youre busy,
And time is not your own,
Yeah maybe it would be better,
If I telephoned.
Chorus:
Carrie doesnt live here anymore,
Carrie used to room on the second floor,
Sorry that she left no forwarding address,
That was known to me.
Carrie doesnt live here anymore,
You could always ask at the corner store,
Carrie had a date with her own kind of fate,
Its plain to see.
Another missing person,
One of many we assume,
The young wear their freedom,
Like cheap perfume.
(its useless information),
Returning my call,
(to help the situation),
Theyve nothing at all,
Youre just another message,
On a pay phone wall,
Chorus:
Carrie doesnt live here anymore,
Carrie used to room on the second floor,
Sorry that she left no forwarding address,
That was known to me.

Useless Regrets

Useless Regrets
Useless Regrets
Useless Regrets
Useless Regrets
Got the demon in my veins,
Crawling blind and my head's a wreck
Wear it like a badge (of honor) on our chest,
But it's more like a noose wrapped around my neck
The more I fight the tighter it gets,
Cutting off my air and I can't breathe
Like the siren's song so innocent,
Till you're it's victim and cannot leave (so we)
Raise a glass to poor decisions,
Broken hearts, and blurred vision
This can't last forever
Everybody's got their own story

Say It Isnt So

J. spinks
You got me all screwed up
So much I cant turn round
And Ive been running about with some funny girls
Im not so tough,
But if you let me down (Ill tell ya)
Id give you just one day to explain
Id like to know if theres somebody else in this game
(chorus)
Say it isnt so, tell me Im the only one
Say it isnt so, without you I cant go on
How was I to know, if you keep me guessing I dont understand
I cant sleep at night
I keep on dreaming youre gone
Im staring into a space that was filled by your face
Facing the day,
A face in the crowd
Im sure I saw you just a moment ago
There must be something you dont want me to know
(chorus)
Theres something wrong, suspicions getting stronger
Dont know if I can stand this pain much longer
You play around but I see right through you
Its lonely on the streets when its just one a.m.
See a lot of pretty girls passing by
Im walking in the midnight sun once again,
And now I know why love is so blind,
Cos when youre out of my sight,
Im out of your mind,
(chorus)
Say it isnt so
Say it isnt so
Say it isnt so
Say it isnt so

All This Useless Beauty

Its at times such as this shed be tempted to spit
If she wasnt so ladylike
She imagines how she might have lived
Back when legends and history collide
So she looks to her prince finding hes so charmingly
Slumped at her side
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
And shes waiting for passion or humour to strike
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty
Good friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
til he almost began to negotiate
She held his head like a baby and said its okay if you cry
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldnt guess
He desires to impress his associates
But hes part ugly beast and hellenic deceased
So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny
Chorus
She wont practice the looks from the great tragic books
That were later disgraced to face celluloid
It wont even make sense but you can bet
If she isnt a sweetheart or plaything or pet
The film turns her into an unveiled threat
Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
They still think theyre the gods of antiquity
If something you missed didnt even exist
It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise?
Chorus [x2]

Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if you like, processes that information.

I'll Take You On

Make me fall down
Make me get up
And if I'm alright
Make sure I'm scared to death
Maybe I'm useless
If I could just remember
Make me feel nervous and I'll
Make you surrender
I'll take you on
Yeah, I'll take you on
Chorus:
I'll give it all away
But you don't
But you don't
I'll give it all away
But you don't feel much better
You said it yourself
You said I'm not ready
I'm tellin myself
But it's not sinking in
Maybe I'm new at this
Or is it just your reaction
Be my illusion
And I'll be your distraction
I'll take you on
I'll take you on
Chorus
Oh, would I be hurt
It wouldn't hurt to see you again
Do you see what I meant
When I told you before
That I never wanted
To feel like this again, no
Chorus
Can we stop all the world now
Sooner or later
I'll lose all control now
When the rain stops we'll end it
Whoa, now
Nothing to fear here
In my baby's arms
I'll take you on

Love And Let Live

Two lovers watch the news, they've got more than love to lose
As they lay there under cover, do they really know each other
There's a whisper in the air, don't you feel a little scared?
The stakes are too high
Some have even lost a friend, and we're nowhere near the end
It doesn't help to moralize
Chorus:
The search is not the same now, more than just a game now, love and let live
It can thrill you - fulfil you, but lately it can kill you, love and let live
A little information's not too much to give
We've got to tell lovers how to love and let live
Do you think it over twice at the edge of paradise
If you're not really sure, use and ounce of prevention
'Cause there's still no cure
So you smile and say to me, 'it's not my responsibility'
You better change your attitude
Did you ask your lover who, who was there ahead of you?
You need to know the truth
chorus
I have found the one for me, we share our love exclusively
But we're all affected, 'cause we're all connected, we're a family
(Instrumental break)
(Love and let live, love and let live)
A little information's not too much to give, we've got to tell lovers
chorus repeats out...

Say It Isnt So

Theres no santa claus
It was all a lie
No man in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear disneyland
Might lose mickey mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake-up
Tell me its a nightmare
Please wake me up
(say it isnt so)
I found a book of matches
]from someplace weve never been
How come you hang the phone up
The minute I walk in
Last night I had this dream
That I was losing you
I woke up in a cold sweat shaking
Rescue me my heart is breaking
Chorus:
Say it isnt so (tell me its not true)
Say it isnt so (I believe in you)
Tell me its a lie (I dont need no proof)
They did it all with strings say everythings alright (couldnt be, not
You)
Say it isnt so
Superman dont fly
Elvis presley died
They deep fried the king
Like some tacky cheesy bathing beauty
Dancing on the beach in a bad b-movie
Chorus 1:
Say it isnt so (tell me its not true)
Say it isnt so (I believe in you)
Tell me its a lie (I dont need no proof)
Say everythings alright (couldnt be, not you)
Chorus 2:
Say it isnt so (dont give up on me)
Say it isnt so (dont give up on you)
Get me through the night (well make it through)
Make everything alright (couldnt be, not you)
Say it isnt so..
Chorus 1:
Say it isnt so (tell me its not true)
Say it isnt so (I believe in you)
Tell me its a lie (I dont need no proof)
Say everythings alright (couldnt be, not you)
Chorus 2:
Say it isnt so (dont give up on me)
Say it isnt so (dont give up on you)
Get me through the night (well make it through)
Make everything alright (couldnt be, not you)

Straight Up

Chorus:
Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun
Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
If you are all that you seem
Then baby I'm movin' way too slow
I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information - please
Chorus
Time's standing still
Waiting for some small clue
I keep getting chills
When I think your love is true
I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information - please
Chorus
Straight up now tell me (tell me)
Straight up now tell me (tell me)
Straight up now tell me, straight up now tell me

I Will Not Take That Much Anymore

I have aged a lot after such a short time and I look
Like an old man, a useless man, a man who can do nothing and give you nothing.
When I speak to you I forget and would have a hard time recalling that it was you and that I was speaking to you, I am like an old useless part of your household
I will not take that much about myself anymore
I cannot speak that much that which you have expected from me
I cannot take that much load anymore and I am surrendering myself to you
Begging for laxity
Begging to understanding
I cannot take that much anymore, I will take less time
I am an old useless man and you can now convert me into

A biscuit.

Reelin In The Years

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldnt know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I cant understand
Chorus:
Are you reelin in the years
Stowin away the time
Are you gatherin up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
You been tellin me youre a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time Ive known you
I still dont know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didnt turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I cant understand
Chorus
I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things weve done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I cant understand
Chorus
