I Just Want To Have Something To Do

Hanging out on Second Avenue 
Eating chicken vindaloo 
I just want to be with you 
I just want to have something to do 
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight 
Well allright 
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight 
Wait-Now 
Wait-Now 
Hanging out all by myself 
Cause I don't want to be with anybody else 
I just want to be with you 
I just want to have something to do 
Tonight.

I Wanted Everything

I heard about the Easter bunny 
Presents under a Christmas tree 
It was dreaming and fantasy 
There was no Mom or Daddy 
I wanted everything 
I wanted everything 
I wanted everything 
I had the world on my shoulder 
But I was getting older 
Knew I was ready for it 
Some kind of employment 
I wanted everything 
I wanted everything 
I wanted everything 
All day working on a truck 
Bringing the groceries up 
Not much of a salary 
No tip for the delivery 
I wanted everything 
I wanted everything 
I wanted everything 
There's no success for me 
Involved in a robbery 
There's money in the supermarket 
And I'm goin' after it 
I wanted everything.

Don't Come Close

You know it's generally known 
You got everything at home 
Kisses out of desperation 
Bring you more aggravation 
And you don't come close 
You don't come close 
You don't come close 
You bring out your souvenirs 
Soak them wet with your tears 
You lose your imagination 
Out of more aggravation 
And you don't come close 
You don't come close 
You don't come close 
You turn red with rage 
But act your age 
Only thing that your regret 
You need more time to forget 
And you don't come close 
You don't come close 
You don't come close.

I Don't Want You

You said that you'd be true 
Baby said that you'd be true 
I don't care, I don't care 
I don't care, I don't care 
I don't want you 
Don't want you 
I don't want you anymore 
You said that you'd be mine 
Baby said that you'd be mine 
I don't care, I don't care 
I don't care, I don't care 
I don't want you 
Don't want you 
I don't want you. 
I want you, I want you 
I want you to stay 
But I guess it just can't be that way 
You said that you'd be true 
Baby said that you'd be true 
I don't care, I don't care 
I don't care, I don't care 
I don't want you 
Don't want want you 
I don't want you anymore.

Needles And Pins

I saw her today, I saw her face 
It was a face I love 
And I knew I had to run away 
And get down on my knees and pray that they go away 
Still it begins 
Needles and pins 
Because of all my pride 
The tears I gotta hide 
Oh I thought I was smart 
I stole her heart 
Didn't think I do 
But now I see 
She's worse to him than me 
Let her go ahead 
Take his love instead 
And one day she will see just how to save me 
And get down on her knees 
That's how it begins 
She'll feel those needles and pins - oh, no - oh, no 
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong 
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong 
Because I saw her today 
I saw her face 
It was a face I love 
And I knew I had to run away 
And get down on my knees and pray that they go away 
Still it begins 
Needles and pins 
Because of all my pride 
The tears I gotta hide 
Hey! Needles and pins 
Needles and pins 
Needles and pins

I'm Against It

I don't like politics 
I don't like communists 
I don't like games and fun 
I don't like anyone 
Well I'm against it 
I'm against it 
Well I'm against it 
I'm against it 
I don't like Jesus freaks 
I don't like circus geeks 
I don't like summer and spring 
I don't like anything 
I don't like sex and drugs 
I don't like waterbugs 
I don't care about poverty 
All I care about is me 
I don't like playing ping pong 
I don't like the Viet Cong 
I don't like Burger King 
I don't like anything 
And I'm against it.

I Wanna Be Sedated

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go 
I wanna be sedated 
Nothing to do 
Nowhere to go 
I wanna be sedated 
Just get me to the airport 
And put me on a plane 
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane 
I can't control my fingers 
I can't control my brain 
Oh no oh ho 
Just put me in a wheelchair 
And get me to the show 
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco 
I can't control my fingers 
I can't control my toes 
Oh no oh ho.

Go Mental

Out of the hospital 
Out against my will 
Life is so beautiful 
I've gone mental 
Mental! Mental! 
I've killed my family 
They thought I was an oddity 
Life is so beautiful 
I am a vegetable 
Mental! Mental! 
I've gone mental 
I've gone mental 
Staring at my goldfish bowl 
Popping phenobarbitol 
Life is so beautiful 
I've gone mental 
Mental! Mental! 
Sitting on my window sill 
Life is so beautiful 
I've become irrational 
I've gone mental 
Mental! Mental! 
I've gone mental.

Questioningly

Questioningly her eyes looked at me 
And then she spoke- 
Aren't you someone I used to know 
And weren't we lovers a long time ago? 
Looked at her close 
Forced her into view 
Yes, I said, you're a girl 
That I once may have knew 
But I don't love you anymore 
Why do you want to talk to me for? 
You should have just let me walk by 
Memories make us cry 
In the morning I'm at work on time 
My boss he tells me that I'm doing fine 
When I'm going home 
Whiskey bottle movie on TV 
Memories make me cry 
And I'm alone just me 
Just me questioningly.

She's The One

Yeah yeah she's the one 
Yeah yeah she's the one 
When I see her on the street 
You know she makes my life complete 
And you know I told you so 
She's the one 
She's the one 
Yeah yeah she's my girl 
Yeah yeah she's my girl 
When I see her on the street 
You know she makes my life complete 
And you know I told you so 
She's the one 
She's the one 
She's the one 
Know I'll never find a girl like you 
But in my heart I'll always love you 
But in my heart I'll always be true 
Yeah yeah she's my girl 
The best girl in the whole wide world.

Bad Brain

I used to be an A student 
I never used to complain 
I used to be a truant 
But I'm still the same 
Bad bad brain 
Bad bad brain 
I used to go to parties 
I used to drink champagne 
Now I'm beginning to feel the strain 
Bad bad brain 
I used to be in show biz 
I used to have fortune and fame 
I used to have pleasure and pain 
I used to have a name 
Bad bad brain 
Now I'm on the Bowery 
I can't remember my name 
Bad bad brain 
Bad bad brain 
Bad bad brain...bad bad brain...

It's A Long Way Back

You by the phone 
You all alone 
It's a long way back to Germany.
