Words and Music: NovakOhhhh... Ali Toro
why don't you throw your love around
when I'm the only one you ever thought you'd let down
You'll be gone in a month
You know exactly what you got
I'm glad I got to know you,
cause I know Ralph, and you, he's not.Ohh Ali Toro... I cannot lie
I don't know what you want
cause I'm too scared to ask,
cause you might never be mineOhhhh... Ali Toro
Besame mucho
Are they all as lovely as you, down there?
Don't go away. Although, I know you'll come back
It's a whole summer long, and I'll probably get off track.Ohh Ali Toro... I cannot lie
I don't know what you want
cause I'm too scared to ask,
cause you might never be mine
Andrea
Words: Novak
Music: SiMentI have so much to say
But not enough words to say them in
I wanted you to stay
I wanted us to just be friendsThis life I'm living could've been different
could've been with you
This life I'm living could've been different
could've included youI accept that you've left
But I still didn't want you to
I can't finish this song
if I do, I'd feel I'd let you goI wanted to run away with you and your life
for you to show me the world
But 200 miles is just too long
for a flightless bird
Anything For You
Words and Music: NovakI'd do anything for you
even leave the toilet seat down
whatever it takes to keep you around
I can't stop thinking of you
You're all I think about
'cause you know I want youI don't have to if I don't want to
I don't have to cause you don't want me to.Anyhing for you
Anyhing for you
Anything!
I don't have to if I don't want to
I don't have to cause you don't want-me-to.I'd do anything for you
even wash your car
It's not that I'm whipped
I just love who you are
Everything about you makes me smile
Everything about you makes me a new man.
Britney
Words and Music: ThompsonWell I went to school with a girl named Britney
And I swear it's true -- she used to dig me
And I liked her too, so we would chill
Cause she liked Pavement, and I liked Built to SpillOhh Britney! Whatever happened to you, Britney?
You used to go with me to all the shows,
and now you got a boob job, and every body knows
that you'd rather be hanging out with the Backstreet BoysI guess indie rock wouldn't pay enough
to play guitar and sing -- well, that's way too tough
so you traded in your scratchy vocals
and said goodbye to all the localsAnd you have no control over what you do
But all the twelve-year-olds, they flock to you
But you're much too busy sippin' mocha
with Ricky Martin, Livin' la Vida LocaFreak Me Out
Words and Music: NovakThey say you freak out easily
They say you're not together
I believe them
I should stay awayYet everytime you walk by me,
my guts turn inside outYou turn me on
...I don't know why
You freak me out
...I don't know whyI can't explain your existance
and I can't explain my resistanceYou're the apple off the tree
I dare not take a bite
Better to leave my head in the cold
You probably think I mightStart jumping around and acting stupid
Yeah you know it's something I'd doYou turn me on
...I don't know why
You freak me out
...I don't know whyI can't explain your existance
and I can't explain my resistanceThey say you freak me out and I don't know why
I gotta stay away from you
Before I do something I shouldn't do.You turn me on
...I don't know why
You freak me out
...I don't know whyI can't explain your existance
and I can't explain my resistanceThey say you freak me out and I don't know
You always freak me out and I don't know
You never seem to freak me out
and I don't know why.
How to Speak
Words and Music: Novak
Special thanks for additional arrangement: Shari ArnoldHere I am sad again cause I don't know what to do
Should I write another song about you?
Another day, lost again, otherwise feeling blue
It's gotta help me see it throughI think of you while I work, also while I space out
I think of all the good times we could have
Well it's not paying off, you still think I'm a freak
Well, I want you to know what's going on inside my headI don't know how to speak
when you present youself in front of me
I know you can see right through me
I barely remember my nameI got your attention, I guess that's good
but I don't know what do do, now. Small talk -- I guess that's safe
If talk is cheap, then I'm not rich, I'm only humoring you
Whatever happened to love at first sight?I don't know how to speak
when you present youself in front of me
I know you can see right through me
I barely remember my nameHere I am sad again cause I don't know what to do
Should I write another song about you?
Inside Your Head
Words and Music: NovakSee yourself inside the war
thats waging in your head
Do you wish it all could stop?
Do you wish an empty mind?What do you run from?
Is it sanity?
Is it what you see
harassing your freedom
you don't like that
Are you ever happy?On another planet
yeah you're somewhere out in space
weightlessly spinning
throwing your life away
is it what you don't see
what you can't feel
what isn't real
that makes you so perfectly comfortable
with something you simply inhale?
In Your Arms
Words and Musak: ThompsonPlease just listen to me, I know I stutter when I speak
But I've been practicing this line for a whole week
Why did it happen this way? It never happens this way...
Why'd you stop and say hello to me?You're the kind of girl I only see on the TV..
but your sweet talk makes you real to me
And there's something about me only you can see
and in your arms is where I wanna be.I don't know where to go, I don't know what to do
But I know that I don't lie
cuz whenever we're together, I haven't felt much better
and I never wanna say good-byeDa da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da daYou're the kind of girl I only see on the TV..
but your sweet talk makes you real to me
And there's something about me only you can see
and in your arms is where I wanna be.
Look At Yourself
Words and Music: NovakI don't want to let you go
I don't want to leave it be
I just wish we had a little more time
So you could hear just what I sayLook At Yourself, You're beautiful
You could be everything to me (everything to me)
If you let me come over, I'll show you I love you
Why can't it be?It's been a really long time Since I've listened to my heart
And done just what I've felt
I don't want to lose you to circumstance
I just want to be with no one but youLook At Yourself, You're beautiful
You could be everything to me (everything to me)
If you let me come over, I'll show you I love you
Why can't it be?I need to listen to my heart so I can be with you
Cause I never get feelings quite like this
I remember your eyes, I remember your smile
I remember all of you like it was yesterday
Lying to Myself
Words and Music: NovakI wanna begin to feel the end
I wanna get out 'fore I get in again
I wanna be somewhere else other than here
I wanna be free - I don't wanna be your friendI gotta stop lying to myself about my own feelings
I gotta feel just like I'm supposed to
The feeling I get that life gives me
I'm strangled, I'm squashed, I'm repressed beyond beliefI told her no, I had to put my foot down
She insisted she was in love with me
Now all I have to do is get over her
I hope it will be that easyNow I'm out, and feeling weird
I feel alone but free
Now all I have to do is get over her
I hope it will be that easyMy Left Toe Of Fury
Words and Music: SiMentMy Left Toe Of Fury beats my friends up
My Left Toe Of Fury beats me up, too.
My Left Toe Of Fury never leaves me alone.
My Left Toe Of Fury is a nazi of the phone.My Left Toe Of Fury only eats red meat
My Left Toe Of Fury only picks on other feet
My Left Toe Of Fury always calls me names
But, without My Left Toe Of Fury, life just wouldn't be the sameMy Left Toe Of Fury beats my friends up
My Left Toe Of Fury beats me up, too.
My Left Toe Of Fury is in with all the girls.
My Left Toe Of Fury likes to be called Earl.PhD in Love
Words: Thompson
Music: Novak/ThompsonI met this girl up in Worcester
Just one look and I had to keep her
But, those college girls they want so much
it just ain't enough to have the right touchSo I walked up to this fine looking lady:
"Wanna hang out?" "No, Later... Wait, maybe?"
"I gotta ask you one question," she said.
"You're pretty good looking, but are you well read?"
"You know you're Shakespeare, your Vonnegut and your Chemistry?"
I said, "sorry cute thing, but that ain't me!"
"I don't do physics and I hate chemistry,
and I haven't done math since I was thirteen!"(But) I got my Ph.D. in love, baby!
Would you be mine?"Sorry cute thing but I can't be with you;
I can only be with someone who knows the trapezoidal rule"
"I like to read my books and I like to have fun,
but only when organic chemistry is done!"
"I'm pretty open and I'll give you one more shot,
now let's see if you're the cream of the crop,
answer this one and you'll get my respect:
What's is the derivative of the square root of x?"What? Huh? Sup wit dat?
"The derivative of the square root of x is
one half x over x to the negative one-half."I got my Ph.D. in Love, baby...
Would you be mine?Well it looks like this ain't gonna fly
her damn IQ passes my speed limit by
But, the college girls, they want the romance
Drop the psych book and give me a chance!Maybe you're right, I should drop all the books
but I can't judge you purely on looks
I can't be with you until you get an education,
"...But I got my bachelor's in Infatuation!"Porn Star
Words and Music: NovakWell, I wanna be a porn star
Yeah, I'd hook myself up
Get the best bachelor pad Southern California's ever seen
Brag about my job to all the famous snobs
Down at the local Burger KingIt all started one sunny summer evening
In fact I think it was while eating Mac and Cheese
I thought: "How cool would it be,
to have sex with two or three
women I don't even know?"
And then it dawned upon me
the kind of life I would lead
and right then and there I hit the roadTook my Oldsmobile down the seaside
Right beside all the high-rise
buildings I call home
Laid in a course to Orange County,
made sure I had my Downy,
to keep my clothes clean
Wherever I May Roam.
And when I got to LA
I was really blown away.
Could this place be my new home?
I must have looked so astray,
and even a little gay,
cause the guys wouldn't leave me alone...That's when I realized I was in the wrong part of town.
Don't go to California
Yeah you're right I'm warning you
Don't go to California, my friend
Yeah you're better off where you are now
Don't go moving far now
You're gonna regret it in the end.Oh yeah, back to being a porn star
well, that never really went far
I just got a job at Burger King
Now I'm cooking up all the french fries
but you know I really don't mind
Cause, I still play my guitar and sing...The Rebound Song
Words and Music: NovakLast night when you asked me whether I wanted to come in or stay in my car, I knew I had to stay in my car, cause if I came in and saw you I'd have to tell you that you looked beautiful, which you did, but because my girlfriend dumped me a week ago, you would have thought that I was beginning to rebound, which I don't want you to do --
cause when I'm done on this dumb rebound, I wanna tell you that you really look beautiful and I want you to believe it, not because it's only been a week, yeah, since I got dumped, not because it's only been a week.
Instead I'm gonna wait it out until I get my head on straight cause I wouldn't want to hurt you or make you think you never meant nothing to me and you don't deserve it, you never ever did anything to me to make me act maliciously or rash you don't deserve that kind of treatment, noone does -- especially not you.
She Said, He Said
Lyrics: Weaver & Shari Arnold
Music: SiMentShe told her mother she was falling in love
She said you're not in love, I was your age once
So she told her father that her mother was wrong
He said don't disrespect your mother, I'm in love with herHow do you know, Dad?
It makes me so sad
To think my heart's wrong
When these feelings are so strongCan you help me now
Figure this one out
Am I in love
He's all I think aboutWhen I fall asleep, he's all I dream about
When I look in his eyes, it's no surprise that we're falling in loveShe told her mother
I think something is wrong
She said you're not in love
You're just really youngShe told her father
that her love was all but gone
He said you will find another
and it will be so strongBut how do you know, Dad?
It makes me so sad
To think my heart's wrong
When these feelings are so strongCan you help me now
Figure this one out
I'm not in love
It's all I think aboutWhen I fall asleep, he's all I dream about
When you look in his eyes, it's no surprise that you've fallen in love
Shits and Giggles
Words: Thompson
Music: SiMentI don't know your name or your face
But something about you isn't fake
It's the feeling...I get
I can't quite explain
It's hard to define
But it's present.. all the timeIt's shits and giggles!
Orange juice in my cereal
and peanut butter in my Oreos
you make me weird
When you're around, I speak broken english
and mumble sweet nothing's you'll never hearIt's shits and giggles!
Now that we've been through so much
and I still melt with your touch
It's time to tell you
A few more months then you'll know
how I first felt when we were close
You can't avoid it.It's shits and giggles!
Well I know it's been a long time since we spoke
or even acknowledged each other's existence
cause a long time ago we were really naive,
and now we're a little less.I've had a pair of socks in my sock drawer
for a little more than a year now
How they got there in the first place?
Don't ask me how.Cause we were both a little stupid
We were both a little dumb
Today, it's long been over
and now I'm having funWell, I'm gonna burn these socks
and spit on these remains
as an effigy of you --
immature public shameYeah it's long been over
Yeah this, I know
And I'd still be singing you this song
if you were at this showLook me over, am I different to you?
I'm the same old guy who fell out of love with you.
