The Marvelous 3 - Hey! Album Lyrics
You're So Yesterday
I guess I met the devil, but I sure didn't know no better
You we're kool as hell like e-mail, but still timeless like a letter
As I sit and I stare at the satanic glare, on the glass frame in
front of your face You're
alone on my shelf, yelling, "look at yourself" I feel like
Bobby Brady breaking the vase, But now you're all screwed up
(chorus)
You're so yesterday, Miles away , Promised myself on new years day ,
I'd take a bath today, And wash you away
As all of your little blonde hairs go down the drain
Your sister called me yesterday to tell me I was a loser
At least I haven't lost my mind, and at least I'm not a boozer
As I tried to heed to your wants and your needs You were solemnly
lost in space So keep reading your books on "how to give dirty
looks" Everytime I should be put in my place Now you're all
screwed up
(chorus)
I guess I met the devil, but I sure didn't know no better
You were kool as hell like e-mail, but still timeless like a letter (chorus)
Freak of the Week
I spend a lot on all the clothes that I got, Cuz all the geeks that I
meet, they all look kooler than me. What to do when they're all
looking at you, Cuz you're the freak of the week, cuz you're on the TV.
(chorus)
Can you make me a promise
Stop it before we begin
Will you hold onto my head
If I ever lose it again
I've got a shrink, I swear he's elvis I think He wears the koolest
suede shoes, when I come in with the blues, He thinks it's all about
culture and art, but the
truth of it is, that it rips me apart
(chorus)
(break)
Tell me I sold out
Tell me I sold out go ahead
Until You See
You traded all your tears so I could see a happy face You sat alone
and read the writing on the wall
You broke your heart and banged your cool up
as you fell from grace You should've hung the net before you took the
fall, The lines are pretty long here, but you'll stand here anyway
(chorus)
Until you see this ain't going over, There's nothing left to show
for, Til you see, Time ain't gonna make up for the times you'd never
wake up for me
I watched you build a castle on the beach one rainy day I saw it fall
apart and roll out with the tide
I think there's something metaphroic that I'm trying to say Open up
your soap box and just crawl inside
The lights are on but no one's home
Stand there in the dark
(chorus)
Write It On Your Hand
Don't ask me, I just crawled in here on my hands and knees I can't
see, from the fog on my glasses and sweating to death from the heat
It's alright, I've been shit on before, I've had other doors slammed
in my face
But it's cool, I'll just go back to school And learn how to lie to
you better
(chorus)
Let me write it on your hand, So you won't forget
Forget just what you had, Go and write it on your hand
13 rings, and I picked up my cell phone and you gave me hell for
awhile About stupid things, like hanging out
with that guy, and why the hell does he always smile
It's alright, cuz my phone's out of range, ain't it funny and strange
how you're fading away, I can't hear what you say I guess you can
write me a letter
(chorus)
Let Me Go
Turn the tv off, put down the cosmopolitan
I'd like to think that I'm not asking alot, Oh my god, this static is
bad for my complexion, This town has turned you into someone you're not
And every other day I hear another brother say, That I'm standing in
line
(chorus)
Please, just let me go, just let me go
And if it's all over, just tell me so,
just tell me so, Please, just let me go
And I won't be your shadow anymore
I passed the house last night, knowing it was my last time I'd see
the dent of anger kicked in your car. In the rear view mirror,
thoughts of sex cross my mind Looks like the drama queen is finally a
star And every other day I hear another brother saying that I'm
crazy, for lying to myself and you for trying
(chorus)
You lost your mind, I lost my keys sometime last night, when I was on
my knees I miss the smile, that you traded for the cold piece of
armor wrapped around you heart
(chorus)
Every Monday
I was checked in by 4, put the sign on the door
Looked out the window of 17th floor
Yelled to the city that knows me by name, and all the bad things I do
I shed 5 bitter tears, into 5 bitter beers
Looked at my watch and said, "Where have the years gone?
I'm wasting away like a castle of clay, that's slowly crumbling into."
chorus:
Every Monday, I get this pain
Every Wednesday, it hit my brain
Every Friday, I die, cuz everyday
I still think of you
I was fucked up by 5, talking nothing but jive
Told the bartender he'd never take me alive
All of this because my favorite show was cancelled last night on TV
So I called up Marie, she'd have sex for free
But for ten bucks an hour, she listened to me
Talk about rockstars and models on dope,
And how I can't cope with this scene
(chorus)
Indie Queen
She dreams about, the girl she used to be
She dreams about, someone else underneath the sheets
Well you can off to London with a coke and smile
But give it 24 hours and 4000 miles and it's
All just another day away from from one less day to cry
chorus:
How do you feel about that
How do you like it when they touch your face
And turn your page
Tell me now just how you feel about that
She hangs around, the strangest kings and queens
She gets around, but it's only gets her clean
Well all the after school specials of the days of your life
And all the anti-drug commercials as you're high as a kite
But it's all just another day away from from one less day to cry
(chorus)
Every once in awhile, you should scream and let her out into the light
Every once in awhile, you should tell yourself that it's alright
(chorus)
#27
She got the #27
Taken off her license plate
Cuz that was my basketball number
Back when we started to date
And I know, it's better to be unfaithful
To the people that you liked last year
chorus:
You're still the same
You'll never change
Always a change
You're still the same
She's got a pretty mod CD collection
In the glovebox of her car
All the Blur and Cure and Oasis cases
Tell me you get struck by stars
And I know, it's better to be unfaithful
To the things that you liked last year
(chorus)
break:
I can't run, I can't hide, this ain't no Marco Polo
You've gone and give yourself away
And all this time, I just thought that I was crazy
(chorus)
Mrs.Jackson
I'll get the door Mrs.Jackson
I'll get the press and reporters too
I'll wait out side your heart
You're not a throw-away filmstar
There's something different about you
And I'll wait outside your heart
chorus:
Cross my heart, I would die
Shove the needle in my eye
Be your sugar, I could try
Where's the papers, let me sign
All I wont is to be wanted by you
How is your head Mrs.Jackson
How about a pain killer pill or two
I'll wait outside your heart
What in the hell are they saying
They'll never understand me or you
And I'll wait outside your garage,
And your house, and your restaurant
(chorus)
Over Your Head
Did you ever hear this one, about the one that got away
It slipped right out the back door, it was on the news today
I was fishing for a hit song, when you woke me out of bed
Now I'm inspired, and my brain is tired, and my eyes are bloody red
Go ahead and eat your sucker, I won't say a word
He gave you the castle, you gave me the bird
chorus:
Everybody is gray (I'm turning blue)
Everything that I say (It's about you)
Don't take this wrong, I hope your arms are long
Cuz you're gonna need'em when I'm going over your head
Hello, can I take a order? I've been waiting for days
I'd like a little compassion, with a side of mayonnaise
You never let the glue dry, when you broke me in two
And I'm not some stupid little model car, that you can abuse
Go ahead and eat your sucker, I won't say a word
He gave you the castle, so I'll give you the bird
(chorus)
Vampires In Love
September '57, it was a very good year
That's when I met heaven, and all the smoke came clear
I didn't see it coming, I was a very dumb kid
Nobody ever touched me, quite like the way that you did
And now you know that I suck at this, and you suck at it too
And now we're nothing more than vampires in love
chorus:
And I'm wide awake, and you're wide awake
And I don't think that I'm getting tired at all
This is the brightest sunlight, my shades will do me no good
I ain't a morning person, but I'd be one if I could
And cause of us I just stay up at night
And watch stupid movies 'til the TV is white
So we're we're nothing more than vampires in love
(chorus)
Lemonade
You walked into the bathroom, to wash your troubles away
you always seem to go in there about 20 times a day
I dropped you off at your therapist,
Where you walked across the street
To the neon lights with the purple door
Where you passed out on your feet
Don't think I don't see it all
The beautiful high and the sobering fall begin
It's a kick ass day, wish you were here,
Send a postcard telling me when you're here again
Cuz I can't get through to you
chorus:
There's a lot I could say, there's a lot I could do
If I had it my way, but I don't and you do
Makes me throw up to say that I cared at all
I gave a lot, and now I'm shot
And shit like that's like sour lemonade
I tried to call your favorite bar, but I got a drunk Australian
He talked a million miles an hour, but I can't tell what he's saying
Something about a song by KISS
And how they watched you piss yourself away
As the glass go crashing to the floor
From the phone booth, I hear more delay
Cuz I can't get through to you
(chorus)
