1.You Learn
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
Chorus：
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
Repeat Chorus
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
Repeat Chorus
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn
2.Joining You
dear dar(lin') your mom (my friend) left a message on my machine
she was frantic
saying you were talking crazy that you wanted to do away with
yourself
I guess she thought i'd be a perfect resort because we've had
this inexplicable connection since our youth and
yes they're in shock they are panicked you and your chronic them
and their drama
you this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion
if we were our bodies
if we were our futures
if we were our defenses i'd be joining you
if we were our culture
if we were our leaders
if we were our denials i'd be joining you
I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping you knew more
than you thought you should know
you said 'I don't want ever to be brainwashed' and you were
mindboggling you were intense
you were uncomfortable in your own skin you were thirsty but
mostly you were beautiful
if we were our nametags
if we were our rejections
if we were our outcomes i'd be joining you
if we were our indignities
if we were our successes
if we were our emotions i'd be joining you
you and I we're like 4 year olds we want to know why and how
come about everything
we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds and
never talk small and be intuitive
and question mightily and find god my tortured beacon
we need to find like-minded companions
if we were their condemnations
if we were their projections
if we were our paranoias i'd be joining you
if we were our incomes
if we were our obsession
if we were our afflictions i'd be joining you
we need reflection we need a really good memory feel free to
call me a little more often
3.No Pressure Over Cappuccino
And you're like a 90's Jesus
And you revel in your psychosis
How dare you？
You sample concepts like hors d'heurves
And you eat their questions for dessert
And is it just me or is it hot in here？
And you're like a 90's Kennedy
And you're really a million years old.
You can't fool me.
They'll throw opinions like rocks in riots
And they'll stumble around like hypocrites
And is it just me or is it dark in here？
You may never be or have a husband
You may never have or hold a child
You will learn to loose everything
We are temporary arrangements
And you're like a 90's Noah
And they laughed at you when you packed all of your things
And they wonder why you're frustrated
And they wonder why you're so angry
Is it just me or are you fed up
And God bless you in your travels, in your conquests, and
queries
4.That I Would Be Good
that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds
that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing
that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy
that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you
5.Head Over Feet
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
Chorus：
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
Repeat Chorus
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
Repeat Chorus
6.Princes Familiar
please be philosophical
please be tapped into your femininity
please be able to take the wheel from me
please be crazy and curious
papa love your princess so that she will find loving princes
familiar
papa cry for your princess so that she will find gentle princes
familiar
please be a sexaholic
please be unpredictably miserable
please be self absorbed much (not the good kind)
please be addicted to some substance
papa listen to your princess so that she will find attentive
princes familiar
papa hear your princess so that she will find curious princes
familiar
please be the jerk of my knee i've fit you always
you finish my sentences I think I love you

again correctly and I love the way
you press my buttons so much sometimes I could strangle you
papa laugh with your princess so that she will find funny
princes familiar
papa respect your princess so that she will find respectful
princes familiar
please be strangely enigmatic
please be just like my
7.I Was Hoping
as we were taking outside it was cold we were shivering yet
warmed by the subject matter
my wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know
please don't tell her or anyone
but I need to talk to somebody
you said 'wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was five
minutes before I died i'd be filled
with such regret before I took my last breath' and I said
'you're willing to tell me this now
and you're not going to die any time soon'
and I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and
you said yes
but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said we're at
the top of the food chain
and yes you're a fine woman and I cringed
I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said
'good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're
successful and established sir and we like the frequency with
which you dine here sir
and your money' and when I walked by they said 'thank you too
dear' I was all pigtails and cords
and there was a day when I would've said something like 'hey
dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it'
I too once thought I was owed something
I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up
I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
I too once thought life was cruel
it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping
you I think you're insensitive
and I don't feel heard and I said do you believe we are
fundamentally judgmental？ fundamentally evil？
and you said yes I said I don't believe in revenge in right or
wrong good or bad you said
'well what about that man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency
room bleeding after beating his kid
and she threw a shoe at his head.
I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time
feeling compassion for him'
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.
I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together
8.Ironic
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think
Chorus：
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
'Well isn't this nice...'
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
Repeat Chorus
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...
Repeat Chorus
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
9.These Are The Thoughts
These are the thoughts
that go through my head
in my backyard
on a sunday afternoon
when i have the house
to myself and i am not
expending all that energy on
fighting
with my
boy - friend
Is he the one
that i will marry
then why's it so hard to be
objective about myself
why do i feel celulary
along, am i supposed to live
in this crazy city
can blindly continued fear
and duce per gurgated
life denying tradition
be overcome
where does the mo - ney go that i sin
to those in need of me
if so much why do
some people have
nothing still i do
i feel frantic when i
first wake up in the morning
why do you say you
are spiritual
yet you trat people like shit
How can you say
we're close to god
and yet you talk behind
my back as though im not
a part of you i do
you, say if im in it
obvious you are not
why's it so hard to tell
you what i want
why cant you just read
my mind
Why do i fear that
the quieter i am
the less you will listen
why do i care weather
you like me or not
why's it so hard
for me to be angry
why's it such work
to stay concious and so
easy to get stuck and not be overwhelmed
Will i ever move
back to Canada again
i'd be with a lover
with whom i am a student
and oh master why am i
encouraged to shut my
mouth when it gets
too close
to i'd my pen and i
live, in the mo - ment
10.King Of Pain
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the queen of pain
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I always thought that you could end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the queen of pain
Queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
11.You Oughta Know
Lyrics：Alanis Morissette
Music：Alanis Morissette
I want you to know and I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she as preverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theater？
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she would make a really excellent mother
Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And everytime you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died 'til you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me of the cross i bare that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap on the face how quickly i was replaced
and they're thinking of me when you fuck her
Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And i'm not going to fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it ...can you feel it？
12.Uninvited
like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
like any hotblooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
but you you're not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight
must be strangely exciting
to watch the stoic squirm
must be somewhat heartening
to watch shepherd meet shepherd
but you you're not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight
like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
you speak of my love like
you have experienced love like mine before
but this is not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight
I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate
