Let Fletcher Sleep
02:21
|

Wake you up as I’m going to bed
I worked late but you understand
It ain’t worth crying
It’s our life but we make it right
Go to Chili’s on a Friday night
And you french fries
Yeah buy some french fries
But if you wake and your awful job
Looms heavy and you can’t go on
Understand when I say let Fletcher sleep
I’ll hold you in the evening time
After your work and before mine
A few hours to pretend you’re always with me
Night life ain’t the good life
But it’s been working for my whole life
It’s all I know
Can’t get away but we pretend
Vacation in our minds again
We’re on the beach
In my van seat
If you wake and your shitty job
Looms heavy and you can’t go on
Don’t cry when I say let Fletcher sleep
I’ll hold you in the evening time
After your work and before mine
A few hours to pretend you’re always with me

Wild And Free
03:34

Well I woke today and asked my friend
To check the weather
He said no let’s make it a surprise
It’s an adventure
I’ve got too much time on my hands
And I keep thinking
Two of the most destructive thoughts
Why him. Why not me
So love me baby
You’re so wild and free
Won’t you marry marry me
And everybody want to know
Just where the summer
Has gone as we sit in the cold
Oh what a bummer
I spent it all on the night life
And a hangover
Is an easy way to kill the day
But where’s the sunshine
Where’s the daytime
So love me baby
You’re so wild and free
Won’t you marry marry me
All you want’s to be left all alone
Amongst your thoughts
As depressing as the come
I wish you well out there on your own
I wish you well
And you’ve been left
And you’ll be left once again
The times between
Make it worthwhile in the end
Don’t give up hope
Your heart will surely mend
Don’t give up hope
You’ve been around
And the people that you’ve met
They want your charms
But you didn’t need their help
I’ve tried and tried
But haven’t got there yet
I’ve tried and tried

Bruised Ego
02:23
|

|
I went out to heal my bruised ego
I went out there on my own
She said we could not go on we don’t
Share the same taste anymore
I went to the places that we’d go
I went looking for a sign
Now I know the things she says she knows
But I can’t make up her mind
I went out to
I went out to heal my bruised ego
I went out there on my own
Tried to die in flames of great glory
Tried to but I lived too long
Every day of life is a story
Every day should be a song
Sat inside and worked on a movie
Went outside and walked around
Felt guilty for not finishing my work
Guilty for not going out
I went out to
I went out to heal my bruised ego
I went out there on my own

Lesson In Tenderness
05:32
|
|||
|
Spent the morning wondering why
All this anger can fit inside
But I pushed it down and swallowed my pride
There’s really nothing to it
It’s a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
It’s a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
Lived off friends for a long long time
Floating ‘round and just getting by
But all I took I then justified
There’s really nothing to it
It’s a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
It’s a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
All I want’s to be alone tonight
And if you want to be here by my side
We’ll be alone tonight
Spent tonight on the telephone
To make my peace with everyone
But that don’t mean that I didn’t hurt some
There’s really nothing to it
It’s a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
It’s a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us

Wilder Than Me
02:02

I’m tired but the girl don’t like it
I’m sleeping but she won’t allow it
I’m tired but the girl don’t like it
I’m sleeping but she won’t allow
Then she comes over with some sweet Corona
And everyday I want to sing my tune
Yeah it goes she is wilder than me
I’m tired but the girl don’t like it
I’m sleeping but she won’t allow it
I’m tired but the girl don’t like it
I’m sleeping but she won’t allow
Then she comes over with some sweet Corona
And everyday I want to sing my tune
Yeah it goes she is wilder than me

This Summer
02:19
|
|||
|
Saturday I drank too much
Sunday I got nothing done
Yesterday I’m drying out
Now I’m stuck here on the couch
Anxiety is on my mind
Smoke some weed and kill some time
But I want to work today
Guess there’s nothing left to say
But I ain’t feeling too well this summer
I want to go and cast this spell undone
I want to go out and scream
The only one for me is the only one for me
Jealousy’s a waste of time
Jealousy’s a waste of time
Can repeat these words all day
But they still won’t go away
But I ain’t feeling too well this summer
I want to go and cast this spell undone
I want to go out and scream
The only one for me is the only one for me
Want to know if you’d go
Want to know if you’d be my love
Want to know if you’d go
And find me there

Always
02:43
|
|||
|
And I can’t seem to leave on time
But you always let it slide
You say Fletcher you’re always running
Way behind come on we’re going
And I can’t recall your friends
But you would pick me over them
What’s her name can’t stop complaining
That other one is always hating
And I always want to love you
And I always want to love you

Out On My Own
02:01
|
|||
|
I don’t want to be here
If you’re gonna be here
‘Cause I don’t want to listen
To what you got to say about me
And I don’t want to dwell on
The things you always dwell on
‘Cause everything you dwell on
Seems to be untrue
I don’t know just why you’re crying
When all I want’s to be out on my own
I don’t know just why you’re crying
When all I want’s to be out on my own
Gone are the days
Of making love to you and
Gone are the ways
That you’d be untrue
I don’t know just why you’re crying
When all I want’s to be out on my own
I don’t know just why you’re crying
When all I want’s to be out on my own

My Girl
01:25

Let me tell you ‘bout the lips she had
The lips she had upon her face
And let me tell you ‘bout the legs she had
The legs she had below her waist
Those legs couldn’t dance
And those lips couldn’t make no romance
They’d just blabber on, on and on
Let me tell you ‘bout the eyes she had
They’re windows to and from her soul
Let me tell you ‘bout the heart she had
The heart she had of solid gold
Those eyes couldn't cry
They just frightened all the children inside
And that heart of gold
Was cold cold cold
That girl ain’t right
But she is my lady tonight
‘Cause I love her so

Wintertime
02:51
|

|
College is dumb
But we’re having some fun
In the winter time
I’m making some friend
Despite this place that we’re are in
In the winter time
The dorms here are cool
At least I got my own room
All my stuff inside
A place where I can hide
Been banging around
With this girl I have found
But she broke my heart
It’s not her fault
She says that she don’t know
Where her life should go
And I guess that’s fine
‘Cause I don’t know about mine
And they don’t want us kids
To know who Lou Reed is
So let’s dress in drag
And let them laugh
And then we’ll see
If anyone feels like
Everyone feels like me

Lonely Life
04:03
|
|||
|
All my life well I’ve spent my time
Working out ways to get by
All on my own so I could be alone
Busy streets, weekends in the park
Crowded shows and crowded bars
Ten thousand souls
And still I’m all alone
No matter where I go
I’m still all alone
Hello girl you can say what you will
Hello girl I’ve been doing just fine on my own
Hello girl yes you’ve got a sweet face
Hello girl but I’ve been doing just fine on my own
But if you want to be my sweet one
Than try to know, try to know
That I’ve always been half alone
Yes try to know
Hello girl you can say what you will
Hello girl I’ve been doing just fine on my own
Hello girl yes you’ve got a sweet face
Hello girl but I’ve been doing just fine on my own
I don’t know
