Fame, Fortune, And Fornication

Reel Big Fish Fame, Fortune, And Fornication Lyrics
1.Nothin' But A Good Time

Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet

I'm always workin', slavin' everyday
Gotta get a break from that same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think, this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then

I'm always workin', slavin' everyday
Gotta get a break from that same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think, this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs everyday
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away, yeah, here's to ya

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

It don't get better, baby


2.Mama We're All Crazy Now

Mama we're all crazy now
Mama we're all crazy now

I don't want to drink my whiskey like you do
I don't need to spend my money but still do

Well don't stop now, come on

Another drop now, come on
That's why, that's why

3.Veronica Sawyer

Looking out my window
Nothing to do but to drive in circles
Well, I don't want to have to go home tonight

Up and down the boulevard
How did I survive in suburbia
When there's nothing to do
And they take away what I love to do the most, yeah

Friday night, you're not gonna get it
Saturday, you try to give me one more
Sunday morning, just waiting for the
afternoon so I can be a kid again

I head back to my backyard
I know life's rough but sometimes it's really hard
To do what I love to do the most, yeah

Now I'm stuck, I'm back in the loop again
I'm not gonna lose and I know I'm never gonna win
Sometimes life is just that way
We all say

Friday night, you're not gonna get it
Saturday, you try to give me one more
Sunday morning, just waiting for the
afternoon so I can be a kid again

Friday night, you're not gonna get it
Saturday, you try to give me one more
Sunday morning, just waiting for the
afternoon so I can be a kid again

And now the weekend comes and I try to get inside
But the guy at the door tells me that I'm denied

Friday night, you're not gonna get it
Saturday, you try to give me one more
Sunday morning, just waiting for the
afternoon so I can be a kid again

Friday night, you're not gonna get it
Saturday, you try to give me one more
Sunday morning, just waiting for the
afternoon so I can be a kid again

Friday night
Saturday
Sunday morning, just waiting for the
afternoon so I can be a kid again

Friday night, you're not gonna get it
Saturday, you try to give me one more
Sunday morning, just waiting for the
afternoon so I can be a kid again

You try to give me one more
You try to give me one more

Friday night, you're not gonna get it
Saturday, you try to give me one more
Sunday morning, just waiting for the
afternoon so I can be a kid again


4.Authority Song

They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smile in your face
They think, it's so cute when they got you in that condition
Well, I think that it is a total disgrace

And I say when I fight authority, authority always wins
When I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid and I've come out
grinnin'
When I fight authority, authority always wins

Well, I call up my preacher and I say, 'Gimme strength for round
five'
He said, 'You don't need strength, you need to grow up, son'
I said, 'Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying
And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun'

And I say, when I fight authority, authority always wins
When I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid and I've come out
grinnin'
When I fight authority, authority always wins

I said, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

When I fight authority, authority always wins
When I fight authority, authority always wins
Well, I been doing it, since I was a young kid and I've come out
grinnin'
When I fight authority, authority always wins

And I say, when I fight authority, authority always wins
When I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid and I've come out
grinnin'
When I fight authority, authority always wins


5.Brown Eyed Girl

Hey, where did we go the days when the rains came?
Down in the hallow we were playin' a new game
Laughin' and a runnin', hey, hey, skippin' an a jumpin'
In the misty morning fog with our hearts a thumpin'
And you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

Now whatever happened, to Tuesday so slow
Goin' down the old man with a transistor radio
Standin' in the sunlight laughing, hiding 'hind the rainbow wall
Slippin' and a slidin', hey, hey, all along the waterfall
With you my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing?
Shala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ti dah
Just like that
Shala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ti dah
C'mon
Shala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ti dah
La ti dah

It's so hard to find my way now that I'm on my own
I saw you just the other day, my, how you have grown
Cast, Lord, sometime I'm overcome thikin' 'bout
Makin' love in the green grass behind,
With you my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when, ah, we used to sing?
Shala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ti dah
Just like that
Shala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ti dah
Everybody
Shala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ti dah
Shala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ti dah
Shala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ti dah


6.The Long Run

I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of day
But oh, that didn't get it, it was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way

Oh, I did some damage, you know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely till I found you

You can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run, in the long run
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one, is a strong one

People talkin' about us, they've got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down
We will still come through in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run

You know I don't understand
Why you don't treat yourself better
Do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby
Couldn't hold a candle to you

Did you do it for love? Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite? Did you think you had to honey?

Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out in the long run, in the long run
I know we can take it
If our love is a strong one, is a strong one

Well, we're scared, but we ain't shakin'
We're kinda bent but we ain't breakin' in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you it's a long run
Yeah, yeah, yeah in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you it's a long run

Gonna find out, oh, we're gonna find out in long run
We're gonna find out, yeah, we're gonna find out in the long run
In the long run, yeah, yeah, yeah
Gonna find out, gonna find out in the long run


7.Won't Back Down

Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

(I won't back down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground and I won't back down

Well, I know what's right
I've got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

(I won't back down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground and I won't back down

(I won't back down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground and I won't back down

(I won't back down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground and I won't back down
No, I won't back down
No, I won't back down


8.Keep A Cool Head

Keep a cool head
(Don't get excited)
Keep a cool head
(If you are ?)
Keep a cool head
(Don't get excited)

For in the darkness and countryside
There is no place you can hide, no sir
Do not get hysterical
Can you work a miracle? (Cool head)
Use your anger wisely

Keep a cool head
(Don't get excited)
Keep a cool head
(If you are ?)
Keep a cool head
(Don't get excited)
I said you cool it

Realise that ??? have to concentrate
Do not try and bump the spirit away, no sir
Do not get hysterical
Can you work a miracle? (Cool head)
Use your anger wisely
There's no bigger ?

Keep a cool head
(Don't get excited)
Keep a cool head
(If you are ?)
Keep a cool head
(Don't get excited)
I said you cool it
I said you cool it
I said you cool it

I said you cool it
I said you cool it

10.Talk Dirty To Me

You know I never, I've never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should but I like it
And I know you like it too the way that I want you
I've gotta have you, oh yes I do

I never, I never ever stay out late
But you know that I can hardly wait just to see you
And I know you cannot wait, wait to see me too
I've gotta touch you

'Cause baby we'll be at the drive-in in the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes until I'm screamin' for more
Down in the basement we'll lock the cellar door
And baby talk dirty to me

You know I call you, I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home so I can hear you
When you say those words to me and whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

'Cause baby we'll be at the drive-in in the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes until I'm screamin' for more
Way down in the basement we'll lock the cellar door
And baby talk dirty to me
So pick up that guitar and talk to me

'Cause baby we'll be at the drive-in in the old man's Ford
Behind them bushes till I'm screamin' for more, more, more
Way down in the basement we'll lock the cellar door
And baby talk dirty to me, yeah
And baby talk dirty to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And baby talk dirty to me, yeah, yeah
