Bye Bye Mon Cheri

down to the bottom
and still goin down
"there's got to be an exit"
she says, "i think i'll look around."
"next stop! next stop!"
sings the conductor of the train,
as she looks inside her pocket mirror
i'll never see you again
bye bye bye
bye bye mon cheri
they were always fighting
and the neighbors always heard them
something in her eyesight
she says her vision wasn't perfect
"how can you say such a thing
and pass it off so lightly
when you left the window open wide
and closed the blinds so tightly?"
i'll never see you again
bye bye bye
bye bye mon cheri
"mon cheri" means my darling
"bye bye" means i'm goin away forever
bye bye bye
bye bye mon cheri

there goes the boy i love
there goes the boy i been dreamin of
he's the one with the long hair
he's the one who takes me there
(there he goes)
he gets his way with all the other girls
he gets his trip paid around the world
he's got a walk that kills the floor
i start to want him more and more
there he goes
and i wonder
if he knows
he's the boy that i adore
(he's the boy)
he's the boy i'm waiting for
(he's the boy)
there goes the boy i love
every night i tell my pillow
how much i need to let him know
every day i hug the shadow
watch him come i watch him go
there he goes
and i wonder
if he knows
he's the boy that i adore
(he's the boy)
he's the boy i'm waiting for
(he's the boy)
there goes the boy i love
hey girls, there goes the boy i love
(he's the boy)
there goes the boy i been dreamin of
(he's the boy)

Sex and Violence
04:16
|
|||
all i wanna do
is dance until I'm dizzy
beat my feet and twist my vision
sex and violence
sex and violence
will do
too much minor harmony
too much teenage self-pity
never wrote the song
i could listen to for long
but
sex and violence
good ol' sex and violence
will do
if i can't have you
sex and violence will do
maybe you think it's pretty
for women to come and go
talk about their losses and
Michelangelo
cuz babies and men i've lost
but no one wants to hear
the tenderness of tragedy
trickle in their ear
if i can't have you
sex and violence will do
if i can't have you
sex and violence will do
(wanna go sit down on some dumb guy's lap
oo creme all over his coat and hat
scratch his neck and kiss his eye
never see that guy again)

No No No No No No You
03:51
|

how long? how long
can a girl exist
without it?
how long? how long
can she listen to her friends
talkin' about it?
when she is without it?
every night she goes down to the taproom
she gets all dressed up, she puts those braids in her hair
and then every night she just sits on a barstool
cuz there's no one there who dances like you do
laughs the way you do
makes love like you do
no no no no no no no no no you
no no no no no no no no no you
want some boy to touch me the way you used to
but there's no no no no no no no no no you
every night she rides home in a taxi
and she pays the fare and gets out her keys
she unlocks the door to her single apartment
once she's safe inside she gets down on her knees
no no no no no no no no no you
no no no no no no no no no you
want some boy to hold me the way you used to
but there's no no no no no no no no no you
every playground is a desert
every love song is a lesson
like a toy rusted in the rain
nowhere is the boy who can make me new again
no no no no no no no no no you
no no no no no no no no no you
want some boy to want me the way you used to
but there's no no no no no no no no no you
want some boy to love me the way you used to
but there's no no no no no no no no no you
