Dance Hall Crashers The Old Record[1989-1992]

1.Better Than Anything

As I was walking on the bridge the other day,
I thought I saw you but you ducked and drove away.
I could've sworn you told me that you were gonna be on the town.
I wanted to make sure but I couldn't track you down.
And then the other night I tried to surprise you at your work,
But the guys in your office told me you'd gone home early with a
smirk.
Funny thing, you weren't at home and I began to sense a change.
It was then that I figured out that something was a little
strange.
For so long I thought you were better than anything,
But now I realize that you're not the way you seem.
You must have thought that I was much too dumb to figure out
That you're a lying cheat that's always running about.
Like all those nights you told me you were going out with the
guys.
Did you think I'd believe you after you told 26 lies？
For so long I thought you were better than anything,
But now I realize that you're not the way you seem.
For so long I thought you were better than anything,
But now I realize that you're not the way you seem.


2.Dhc

Woke up this morning and I looked outside.
Just an average day, no new surprise.
Picked up the paper and I read the front page
and what it said just blew me away.
Top of the page and printed in red,
caught my eye and here's what it said -
Something is wrong in the world today.
Work, war, and crime can't walk a straight line.
Out on the dance floor everything's gonna be alright.
Out on the dance floor, Dance Hall, Dance Hall Crashers tonight.
The world's a mess, some people always say.
Well you know their right, but who am I to say.
We keep on living and we take it all in stride
Cause if we worry too much, we'll never stay alive.
Just keep on what you're doing, don't always look back -
What happened then, it's all in the past.
Just live for the moment and do what you will.
We'll keep on playing, cause we know the bill.
Out on the dance floor everything's gonna be alright.
Out on the dance floor, Dance Hall, Dance Hall Crashers tonight.
So if something's wrong in the world today,
Well, that's alright, that's what we say,
Worry about the next day, when it's time has come,
Just get up on your feet now and don't miss this song.
We're all rocking steady, you should try it too.
Don't worry about your image, it's just me and you.
We're here right now, and that's all we care about.
Don't worry about tomorrow, let's go all out!
Out on the dance floor everything's gonna be alright.
Out on the dance floor, Dance Hall, Dance Hall Crashers tonight.


3.Fight All Night

I don't wanna go out with you tonight,
I just wanna stay home and fight.
Nothing sounds more fun than what we do,
Can't imagine more fun with you.
Do I remember what fun you can be,
No - it's been too long since you've had it with me.
Why would I want to have a good time
When we can stay home and not spend a dime.
It's always fun to be with you
And never have anything to do.
Why go out when we can fight,
It's what we're used to every night.
I don't wanna go out with you tonight,

4.He Wants Me Back

Yesterday the leaves were brown,
And I was wearing a big frown.
Because my lover left me for the girl,
That he had loved before.
The sky was cloudy then turned blue,
Because I saw it was no use.
To want someone whose heart was elsewhere.
So I decided not to care. (Oh yeah)
He wants me back,
But he can't have me.
He wants me back,
There's no denying.
He want me back,
He's on his knees.
Now we'll see who's crying.
The grass is greener without you, (It's true)
So many things for me to do.
Living my life for me and on my own.
It's so great to be alone.
And now you're knocking at my door, (Ha Ha)
You've realized you loved me more.
Well I've got no time for apologies,
I've got the world to see.
He wants me back,
But he can't have me.
He wants me back,
There's no denying.
He want me back,
He's on his knees.
Now we'll see who's crying.
He wants me back,
But he can't have me.
He wants me back,
There's no denying.
He want me back,
He's on his knees.
Now we'll see who's crying.


5.Java Junkie

It started when he was just a young boy
Coffee soon became his favorite toy
A cup in the morning began his day,
Soon he was drinking coffee all day
Java junkie - always has a cup of,
Java junkie - never gets enough of,
Java junkie - drinking coffee all day,
Java junkie - to the coffee god he prays.
He's an addict, and that's a fact,
But at least he's not smoking crack
But at least he's not smoking crack
He's an addict, and that's a fact,
But at least he's not smoking crack
But at least he's not smoking crack
You can be sure of that.
His parents feared his new found addiction
So they hid all the coffee away in the kitchen.
Nothing could stop him they knew it was true
He was totally hooked on the java brew.
Java junkie - always has a cup of,
Java junkie - never gets enough of,
Java junkie - drinking coffee all day,
Java junkie - to the coffee god he prays.
He's an addict, and that's a fact,
But at least he's not smoking crack
But at least he's not smoking crack.
He's an addict, and that's a fact,
But at least he's not smoking crack
But at least he's not smoking crack.


6.Keep On Running

I keep on running but I'm starting to tire.
I keep on moving cause my minds on fire
It's an uphill climb but my feet are getting heavy.
I keep on running cause I'm feeling heavy.
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
I'm getting tired but I try to ignore it
Cause if I don't I'll be heading for it.
I know if I stop I'll be a dead man,
The way it is for me it must be in the plan.
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
I keep on running cause I can't turn back.
I've got no choice, my body's keeping track
Of the miles I've gone and the miles left to go.
If I stop now, everyone will surely know.
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....
Keep on running....


7.My Problem

Never thought of leaving you today,
Never thought I'd ever feel this way,
But now I'm gone and you are alone.
I hope you're not waiting by the phone.
I am never coming back,
Not because of anything you lack.
Belive me there's nothing that you can do,
The problem is with me and not with you.
You've been there for me,
Each and every time.
Trust me it's not your problem,
It is mine.
I'm sorry I don't know,
What's going though my head,
I didn't mean for you,
To be mislead.
For some reason I don't know,
It doesn't feel right so I have to go.
Don't let it hurt your self-esteem.
You'll be some girl's ever lasting dream.
It has nothing to do with you,
Please trust me for I'm being true.
I'm sorry for all the pain it will bring,
It's just another dumb girl thing.
You've been there for me,
Each and every time.
Trust me it's not your problem,
It is mine.
I'm sorry I don't know,
What's going though my head,
I didn't mean for you,
To be mislead.
You've been there for me,
Each and every time.
Trust me it's not your problem,
It is mine.
I'm sorry I don't know,
What's going though my head,
I didn't mean for you,
To be mislead.


8.North Pole

In the snow, I sleep freezing,
Constantly coughing and wheezing.
Been awake the whole night through,
My mind reeling with thoughts of you.
Sitting in the north pole,
It is really cold,
But I'm still waiting for you.
My blood is cold as ice,
If you were here that would suffice.
Staring blankly at the wall,
Waiting patiently for your call.
Sitting in the north pole,
Feels like I'm getting old,
But I'm still waiting for you.
The bread you baked when you left,
Is now a solid rock, a footrest.
Tried to keep it warm of you,
It didn't last three years, only two.
Sitting in the north pole,
It is really cold,
But I'm still waiting for you.
You said you'd be back in 10,
Good thing I believe in zen.
You'll be back, that I know,
Even though that was three years ago,
Sitting in the north pole,
Feels like I'm getting old,
But I'm still waiting for you.
I know that you'll be back soon,
So I'll stay awake until you do.
Borrowed a book from a friend of mine,
I've read it so many times.
Sitting in the north pole,
It is really cold,
But I'm still waiting for you.
Sitting in the north pole,
Feels like I'm getting old,
But I'm still waiting for you.
Waiting for you.


9.Nuisance

He don't leave when it's time to go.
He don't leave at the end of the show.
He's no friend an acquaintance at best.
A scary guy in a leather vest.
Cause he's a nuisance. (oh yeah)
Nuisance (well you know)
Nuisance (one more time)
Nuisance
When he speaks it's a scary sound.
It's hard to keep him from hanging around.
Girls won't give him the time of day.
They just hope he'll go away.
Cause he's a nuisance. (oh yeah)
Nuisance (well you know)
Nuisance (one more time)
Nuisance
Why won't he go away.
Why does he always stay.
Cause he's a nuisance. (one more time)
Nuisance (well you know)
Nuisance (Oh)
Nuisance
I wish he would move to another place.
Or at least get out of my face.
It seems that there is nothing left to do.
I wish he would just get a clue.
Cause he's a nuisance. (oh yeah)
Nuisance (well you know)
Nuisance (oh)
Nuisance
Why won't he go away.
Why does he always stay.
Cause he's a nuisance. (hey)
Nuisance (well)
Nuisance (one more time)
Nuisance


10.Othello

How can you say that you love me,
When you never look me in the face.
How can you say that you need me,
When you've been messing around.
All over the place.
I went downtown yesterday,
And was walking in the marketplace
All the women they laughed at me,
They whispered that I was a disgrace.
You've been out all night drinking again,
You never even bother to call.
Been crossing blades with God knows who,
You're headed for your rise and fall.
Sooner or later I'll wake up,
And rub the sleep out of my eyes.
Later that day when you wake up,
You'll be in for a big surprise.
You talk about yourself all night,
When really you are such a bore.
You gave me flowers to my face,
Behind my back you call me a whore.
I've had enough of you God knows what,
I think it's time for you to leave.
I've forgiven you too many times before,
This time you get no reprive.
The bed's too big without you,
But I suppose it'll have to do.
Better to lay in an empty bed,
Than to spend another night beside you.
People talking all over town,
About the way you've been putting me down.
People talking all over town,
They don't wanna see you around.


11.Pick Up Lines

Through the smoky dim lit haze, I saw him from afar.
Moved a little closer just to get a better view
He looked at me and smiled and said, ＂I'm the one for you.＂
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.
Saw another guy right then, his suit was tailor made.
Unfortunately so were his lines much to my dismay.
Thought he had me pegged, tried to impress me with his cash.
＂You'd look great on my yacht,＂ was the best line that he had.
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.
Over in the corner I saw this one all alone.
Looked like Mr. Natural, the kind you would take home.
Not like any of the others, this one seemed benign.
At least until he opened his mouth, ＂hey, Babe, what's your
sign？＂
We've heard one too many over used pick up lines
Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.
Got fed up, decided to leave after one last drink.
Felt a tap on my left shoulder and started to think......
I can't take this anymore, what will this line be？
That's when he let his line fly, ＂Hi, my name is Steve.＂
Where have you been all of my life, sweet thing？
Can I buy you a drink, marry you, anything？
