It's a Girl 03:33
IT’S A GIRL He always wanted his first born to be just like him he wanted to teach him everything he'd learned to believe he was bragging with his friends at the bar  about how cool it will be to drive him around in his brand-new automobile But when he walked into the room he had a little surprise his wife wouldn't dare to look into his eyes because It's a girl Mr. Dullhouse it's a girl it’s a girl Mr. Dullhouse it's a girl! you gotta love her for what she is you gotta love her  but you never did Since the first day she knew she was being put to the test she knew her dad wouldn't take no second best in school, she had to be at the top of her class she got a job and a house and a man  she wanted nothing less But as much as she would push she would still feel the regret she knew her dad would not forgive or forget that It's a girl Mr. Dullhouse it's a girl it's a girl Mr. Dullhouse it's a girl! and you gotta love her for what she is you gotta love her  but you never did Then she moved to the city, that's where she found me and I'm a fool because I could not see she wanted something I once knew how to give but I woke up too late and drove her away from me So she set her sails for yet another town she found a new man who wouldn't let her down because It's a girl Mr. Dullhouse it's a girl it’s a girl and I'm a dumbass it's a girl! he's gonna love her for what she is he's gonna love her  like I never did like I never did like I never did

Hamlette 02:55
HAMLETTE Some people say they know a girl called Johnny me, I used to know a girl called Hamlette Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are not dead yet it's just their wisdom that's been left on the shelf your lack of knowledge really gave you an edge but you've ruined it all just to earn your badge You said you live your life without a safety net but that's not true, my little Hamlette I've laid my life down, down at your feet all the promises I just couldn't keep protect your illusions, fulfill your dreams I guess I'm too old for this kind of things To live your life without a safety net but that's not you, my little Hamlette More blood on your hands than Lady Macbeth but you don't care, do you Hamlette? Shall I come to your house or not tell me now what have I got? shall you come to my house or not? it's up to us to untie this knot I've let you down so many times now I'm here contemplating my crimes you said to my face again and again I'm not as cool as your man To live a life without a safety net that was just me, Hamlette you said your choices were a risky bet  glad to meet your new man, Hamlette Shall I come to your house or not tell me now what have I got? shall you come to my house or not? it's up to us to untie this knot

YOU DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOUR STORY Baby I'm no magician at best I'm a songwriter and a thief but I just wanna be beside you try and give you some relief And you don't have to tell your story you don't have to share your pain I just wanna lie beside you I can even take the blame Look into the eyes of a stranger look into the eyes of a beast there is something deep inside of you I will always find in me We could see it in each other it's the pain that brought us here but all my boldness and my courage have been now replaced by fear To climb on top of the highest mountain  descend into the bowels of the earth I know I deserted you babe let me tell you I’ve got no worth And you don't have to tell your story you don't have to play no game 'cause even though we're apart now I can still perceive your pain   Baby I'm no magician at best I'm a songwriter and a thief

PERFECT STRANGER I'd been hiding for almost twenty years when a perfect stranger came looking just for me she found her way into my empty world tore down the walls, I was feeling strong and bold When I was blind she came and blew my mind as I began to see she ran away from me Grew up so numb, I couldn't really feel my insecurity, I'd learned how to conceal her sweet persistence, you know it was so strong It felt so natural, she disarmed me with her call When I was blind she came and blew my mind as I began to see she ran away from me

THIS DADDY'S GIRL Baby I know you're strong stronger than I'll ever be tougher than all the boys in town harder than any grief But even the restless soldiers sometimes they need some relief you don't have to prove anything to me I know how strong you can be So, if you're ever tired of being daddy's boy if you're ever tired of being daddy's boy You know that you can be you know that you can be you know that you can be This daddy's girl this daddy's girl Baby I know you're tough tougher than I'll ever be so tough that you probably hate this song and its sweet, sweet melody But even the hardest rockers you know, just like me  I said, even the hardest rockers sometimes they need some relief So if you're ever tired of being daddy's boy if you're ever tired of being daddy's boy You know that you can be you know that you can be you know that you can be This daddy's girl this daddy's girl And if I had a bullet I'd send it to your dad how could he do you so wrong? how could he ever treat you so bad? Such a sweet thing like you girl should be treated with respect how could he ever understand? Oh, men can be such scumbags Baby don't get me wrong love you the way that you are you saved my ass so many times I'd be dead if you weren't so hard So the best thing I can do for you in case you're feeling weak is being right beside you on your side of the street So, if you're ever tired of being daddy's boy if you're ever tired of being daddy's boy Remember you can be remember you can be remember you can be This daddy's girl this daddy's girl this daddy's girl this daddy's girl

He Spies 02:48
HE SPIES He's a fan of the Soviet Union but back there he wouldn’t last a day and you’ve disowned your first communion just to be another kind of slave 'Cause he spies on you and me and you don’t care you let him be he spies on me and you and you don’t care you let him go through while he spies You came to me for some kinky distraction I guess my feelings got in the way responsibility for your own actions too hard to face, you threw it all away  'Cause he spies on you and me and you don’t care you let him be he spies on me and you don’t have the guts to tell him what you do with me You let him rip through our intimacy cause you never gave a fuck never gave a fuck about me Living under a major delusion I thought my trust was in the safest place my love was not some kind of illusion to you it was just an expendable game 'Cause he spies on you and me and you don’t care you let him be he spies on me and you and you don’t care you just let him go through while he spies on you and me and you don’t care you let him be he spies on me and you don’t have the guts to tell him what you do with me You let him rip through our intimacy ‘cause you never gave a fuck never gave a fuck about me No, you never gave a fuck never gave a fuck about me Never gave a fuck never gave a fuck never gave a fuck never gave a fuck never gave a fuck never gave a fuck about me!

DOPPELGÄNGER  I drove her to the airport that day  the kind of thing I used to do for her  so filled with doubts about myself  she was the only one to make me feel alright  She sent me videos from her hotel room that night  her naked body under water and cold light  those things meant so much to me  but I guess something happened overnight  Who would have thought you'd fall so fast  into the arms of a stranger? I used to think that I knew you girl  now I'm stuck with a doppelgänger  stuck with a doppelgänger  here she comes  she's the Doppelgänger  Next day she got her fancy dress on  a working gala in faraway French town  she said ‘I’ve met someone he's just right  he's so special, he's way out of sight’ Was I being put to the test?  I lost my temper and I lost my faith that night  I said ‘Baby, do I have to worry now?’  she said ‘We've got bigger problems, it's alright’  Who would have thought you'd fall so fast  into the arms of a stranger? I used to think that I knew you girl  now I'm stuck with a doppelgänger  stuck with a doppelgänger  here she comes  she's the Doppelgänger  She said ‘Baby, everything must change  some things are crazy, these things are just strange’  (I said) ‘but even though we were never about romance  do you really think you've ever given our thing a chance?’  Went to collect her at the airport  the kind of thing I used to do for her  the door opened and finally she walked out  but I guess something was different now  Her eyes and smile I could recognize  I thought it had to be the same girl  but something changed in the way she greeted me  all of a sudden she was cold and distant  I had to beg just to get a clue from her  she was acting like she never met me  she said ‘I gotta go back to my man’ it turned out she had different plans, somehow  Who would have thought you'd fall so fast  into the arms of a stranger? I used to think that I knew you girl  now I'm stuck with a doppelgänger  who would have thought you'd fall so fast  into the arms of another stranger? I used to think that I knew you girl  now I'm stuck with a doppelgänger  stuck with a doppelgänger  here she comes  she's the Doppelgänger  The Doppelgänger  The Doppelgänger  The Doppelgänger

Indifference 03:26
INDIFFERENCE Indifference indifference indifference it comes so easy to you easy to you indifference indifference it comes so easy to you what can I do? When you pass me by and you pay no mind how can I play your game when you're not the same? indifference indifference I saw you cry for me now you barely see the way I die inside swallow my pride for your indifference indifference it comes so easy to you easy to you indifference indifference it comes so easy to you what can I do? Each day your ‘how are yous?’ only give me the blues tried to be your friend  the pain just never ends for your indifference indifference And the secret we share it's just for me to bear and It kills me to see how fast you turned out to be so indifferent indifference It comes so easy to you easy to you indifference indifference it comes so easy to you what can I do? We share the same workplace what a big mistake it used to be a drag now it's living hell for your indifference indifference But I won't forget this time I can't forgive and when you least expect you’ll find me to be  so indifferent indifferent it won't come easy to me but I'll pretend to be indifferent indifferent like I've never been it's time to begin Indifference indifference indifference indifference indifference

Gala 04:09
GALA Baby I know I'm not supposed to be here tonight and maybe I should have stayed home  watching politicians fight but here I am in the only jacket I can wear waiting for your grand entrance with someone for whom you really care   Because I sneaked in at your gala just to see you parade around with him oh yeah, I sneaked in here at the Gala and I'm not even dressed properly oh, why is this happening to me? Baby it still hurts to see  just how beautiful you are still intoxicated by your sting I knew I wouldn’t get too far so here I am in the only clothes I can wear wishing, just for a moment to be the one for whom you really care That's why I sneaked in at your gala just to see you happy beside him oh yeah, I sneaked in here at the Gala to watch you shine in his company oh, why am I doing this to me? Baby I know I'm not  as good as your man most times but I'll prove you that I can love you 'til the sun and the dark star will shine in the sky above your gala on a red carpet without me It ain't my place here at the gala but you're as beautiful as one can be oh, why are you not still beside me? It must be because  I could never dress properly yeah that's because I could never dress properly guess that's because I could never dress properly

BETTER THAN ME I was hoping I could give you what you really want but I've tried too hard and now you've already gone can't walk, can't think, can't talk, can't sing and the bottom line is  He's something to you I could never be something to you that I could never be and this is why everybody's better than me Everybody's better than me superstar in my mediocrity Fool enough to think that you really cared but you left as soon as you got your share of fun and dreams or so it seems and the bottom line is  He's something to you I could never be something to you that I could never be and this is why everybody's better than me Everybody's better than me superstar in my mediocrity All I wanted baby was a solid chance all I'm left with is your cold, cold stance your eyes don't lie, this is goodbye and the bottom line is  He's something to you I could never be something to you that I could never be and this is why everybody's better than me Everybody's better than me superstar in m my mediocrity He's something to you I could never be something to you that I could never be and this is why everybody's better than me Everybody's better than me superstar in my mediocrity

Almost Mine 01:20
ALMOST MINE I still remember you singing naked in my room it might have been the Rolling Stones  or maybe a Janis Joplin tune Like a ghost you slowly grew inside of me I was living for the first time now someone would care for me Still can't believe, those days gone by for a little while you've been almost mine We’ve never ever got to walk side by side I was your dirty little secret a mistake you had to hide All of a sudden you were gone for evermore you said you'd go back to your man but you were lying all along Still can't believe, you left me here to die when for a little while you've been almost mine almost mine So I wrote these songs  to let folks know ‘bout that time when you've been almost mine
