1.Shine So Bright
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
I wanna be a huge star
That hangs out in hotel bars
I wanna wake up at noon
In somebody else's room
I wanna shine so bright it hurts
I wanna be death bed thin
Never realize the state I'm in
With my head in the clouds
And be followed around by crowds
I wanna shine so bright it hurts
I wanna be high strung
Make people wonder what they've done
No one will talk back
'Cause you'll never know when it might snap
I wanna shine so bright it hurts
I wanna shine so bright it hurts
I wanna shine so bright it hurts
2.I Should Get Up
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
Depression looms, I'm such a miserable fool
I stay in bed, I don't wanna got to school
But I see the sun is beating down
No excuses from the clouds
I should get up, I should get out
I'm sure there's something I can't do without
I should get up, I should get up
I should get up
I've heard it said that life will pass you by
Live underground pretty soon that's where you lie
But I feel so warm in my room
I'm safe and sound inside my tomb
I should get up, I should get out
I'm sure there's something I can't do without
I should get up, I should get up
I should get up
The world goes on without me
I know it, I know it
No one misses the quiet kid
And there are things I may have missed
But living ignorance is bliss
I'm so wrapped up in myself
I got no time for
Everyone else
I should get up, I should get out
I'm sure there's something I can't do without
I should get up, I should get up
I should get up, I should go out
I'm sure there's something
I can't do without
I should get up, I should get up
I should get up
3.Everybody Move It
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
Sat in the corner
You could pass for dead
Get up on the floor, shake your head
Everybody move it
Everybody move it
If you'd rather be home
You can leave right now
This is a party, no frowns allowed
Everybody move it
Everybody move it
Bump and grind, have a good time
Free yourself and lose your mind
Now the party's pumping and the groove is on
Grab the nearest body and move along
Go to the next if it don't feel right
But have no fear, get down tonight
Everybody move it
Everybody move it
Bump and grind, have a good time
Free yourself and lose your mind
Everybody move it
4.I Wish It Was Over
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
I wish it was over
I wish we were through
I wish when my phone rang
It wasn't always you
I don't even like you
Or can't you tell
Whenever I'm sober
I treat you like hell
I wish it was over
I wish it was over
I wish it was over
If I could be stronger
And not so weak
Instead of just thinking
Maybe I could speak
I don't think you're special
You're certainly not smart
This being together
Is tearing me apart
I wish it was over
I wish it was over
I wish it was over
I wish it was over
5.Separate Ways
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
Come rolling into town
Unaware of the power that you have over me
And what am I to do with, 'Hello, how are you'?
Nothing's ever said that should be
And I don't care about you
If you don't care about me
We can go our separate ways
If you want to
The ties of love are strong
But they can be undone
And we'll go our separate ways
If you want to
I'm turning into me, not you
I can change my mind not my blood
And not all who love are blind
Some of us are just too kind
We forgive too much and never speak our minds
And I don't care about you
If you don't care about me
We can go our separate ways
If you want to
The ties of love are strong
But they can be undone
And we'll go our separate ways
If you want to
I'm giving up on you
And I'll turn my heart to something new
And we'll go our separate ways
If you want to
I stood out in the rain, holding my breath
Waiting for you, you never came
You broke my heart, you broke my heart
I know who's to blame, you're to blame
And I don't care about you
If you don't care about me
We can go our separate ways
If you want to
The ties of love are strong
But they can be undone
And we'll go our separate ways
If you want to
6.Sorry To See Me Go
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
I might be leaving soon
Away with the new moon
Just wanted to let you know
In case you might be sorry to see me to go
Yeah, I must be going now
Train leaves on the hour
Don't think I'm coming back
I'm just wondering what you think of that
And I saw you in the bar last night
Taking drinks from every guy
Foolish me
For thinking we had something
So I guess, I'll move along
Find somewhere else to sing my song
Don't say it, I think I know
You won't be sorry to see me go
7.Altered State
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
So far things have been all right
No complaints, oh, this is the good life
But sometimes I need more
Just to get up and out the door
I like to live in an altered state
It makes me love all the things I hate
And I'm happy to be alive
Don't want to come off too straight
I like to put on my happy face
While I cry on the inside
Is it so hard to be happy?
That I struggle to feel just okay
And I need a lift just to get through
Just to get up to normal with you
I like to live in an altered state
It makes me love all the things I hate
And I'm happy to be alive
Don't want to come off too straight laced
I like to put on my happy face
While I cry on the inside
Yeah, sometimes I need more
Just to get up off the floor
I like to live in an altered state
It makes me love the things I hate
And I'm happy to be alive
Don't want to come off too straight laced
I like to put on my happy face
While I cry on the inside
8.Think Again
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
Walking away I feel ashamed
Thinking on what I've done
She was naive and I was a sleaze
Some things can't be undone
Think again, don't give in
This isn't what you want
Feelings change, morning brings rain
This isn't what you want
Hard to believe that I could be
Someone's idea of love
I should have been out of reach
Baby I'm not that strong
Think again, don't give in
This isn't what you want
Feelings change, morning brings rain
This isn't what you want
I'm here today but I won't stay
Oh, think again, don't give in
This isn't what you want
Feelings change, morning brings rain
This isn't what you want
Think again, don't give in
This isn't what you want
Feelings change, morning brings rain
This isn't what you want
9.That's Enough Out Of You
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
Hey now, that's enough out of you
I get tired just watching your jaw move
People that talk this much have nothing to say
You're so up there, it brings me down
I wanna turn your smile into a frown
Being happy is easy if you're dumb
And I've tried to get you out of my life
But you seem to enjoy being used
I've lied cheated been unkind
What else can I do?
And living in your world must be fun
With no idea what's going on
Just thinking you're the bomb
10.No Way To Be
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
I'm on your back
I've got no patience
Defensive stance
It's just frustration
But it's no way to be
That's no way to be
That's no way to be
You think too much of me
It gives me shivers
Of responsibility
But that's no way to be
That's no way to be
That's no way to be
Wish it wasn't me
11.You Made It
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
Countless lovers, six months later he woke up, got out of bed
Looked around the room and threw up
Dolce suits, baskets of fruit and money
And your face on TV don't look like you today, honey
But you made it, yeah, you made it
Oh you made it, what you gonna do now?
Walk down the street, people you meet think they own you
They say give me a piece of your life 'cause I feel like I know
you
Say, 'Sign my shirt, kiss my cheek, hug me'
Well I've given you years of my life and I want you to love me
But you made it, yeah, you made it
Oh you made it, what you gonna do now?
And oh love, you're so good looking
Oh love, really cooking
Oh love, don't you ever get tired
Or uninspired
But you made it, yeah, you made it
Oh you made it, what you gonna do now?
12.Frontlines
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
Been away a long time
Come home to ruination
Smoke swirls in blue sky
The mourning of a nation
Stick around if I dare
Or move out to the country
But living in the sticks won't
Save you from what must be
Keep me from the frontlines
I'm no match for them
Cowardice in wartime
Hear my prayers, Amen
Go ahead and see
What happens to me
Keep me from the frontlines
I'm no match for them
Cowardice in wartime
Hear my prayers, Amen
13.My Worst Is Yet To Come
Lyricist:Elizabeth Anderson, Liz Anderson
Such a little time has passed since you went away
Where are all these heartaches coming from?
I can hardly stand the pain of missing you today
And I know the worst is yet to come
If there was something I could find
To drive these tears from me
Then I'd go right out get me one
I've already cried enough to fill the deep blue sea
And I know the worst is yet to come
There'll be all those sleepless nights
When I just lay and cry
And the hours will seem to have no end
There'll be days when it won't matter if I live or die
Wishing I could have you back again
If there was something I could find
To drive these tears from me
Then I'd go right out get me one
I've already cried enough to fill the deep blue sea
And I know the worst is yet to come
14.I Don't Want To Say Goodbye
Lyricist:Gustavo Santaolalla, Bernie Taupin
I don't want to say goodbye
Let the stars shine through
I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you
Just like the light of the morning
After the darkness has gone
The shadow of my love is falling
On a place where the sun always shone
Don't you know that's where
Our hearts both belong?
'Cause I don't want to say goodbye
Let the stars shine through
No, I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you
Together our two hearts are strong
Don't you know know that's where
Our hearts both belong?
'Cause I don't want to say goodbye
Let the stars shine through
I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you
All I want to do is live with you
15.Bon Jovi Said
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
Hit the heights
(Mmm mmm mmm)
Every night
(Mmm mmm mmm)
Stay out late
Tomorrow can wait
It's like Bon Jovi said
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Rock and roll
(Mmm mmm mmm)
Takes its toll
(Mmm mmm mmm)
Wake up late
Tomorrow is today
It's like Bon Jovi said
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Hit the heights
(Mmm mmm mmm)
Every night
(Mmm mmm mmm)
Stay out late
Tomorrow can wait
It's like Bon Jovi said
I'll sleep when I'm dead
16.Blunderbuss
Lyricist:Brad A Albetta, Adam Teddy Thompson
Put that thing away, you're going to kill someone
Put that thing away, you're going to kill someone
If anybody dies, it's going to spoil our fun
So put that thing away, you're going to kill someone
What have you done for us, Blunderbuss?
Why'd you have to spoil the fun for the rest of us?
Another night ruined, it's only half past ten
Another night ruined, it's only half past ten
Looking like shit and you're no one's friend
Another night ruined, it's only half past ten
What have you done for us, Blunderbuss?
Why'd you have to spoil the fun for the rest of us?
Didn't mean to shout, you know you're not that bad
I didn't mean to shout, you know you're not that bad
Break a few lamps and you could lose a few pounds
But I didn't mean to shout, you know you're not that bad
But what have you done for us, Blunderbuss?
Why'd you have to spoil the fun for the rest of us?
What have you done for us, Blunderbuss?
Yeah, what have you done for us, Blunderbuss?
17.In The Studio Yo!
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
I like recording in the studio
Gives me something to do
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Go in the booth and I lay it down
Microphone's got a killer sound
Yo, yo, yo
In the studio, in the studio
I like recording in the studio
Keeps me off of the streets
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Sing it loud and I stamp my feet
Listen back and it sounds so sweet
Yo, yo, yo, yo
In the studio, in the studio
In the studio, in the studio
Studio is the place to go
To hide from life and the folks you know
You can get away with anything
If you can play and you can sing
Hey, I like recording in the studio
Gives me something to do
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Go in the booth and I lay it down
This guitar's got a hell of a sound
Yo, yo, yo
In the studio, in the studio
In the studio, in the studio
18.What's This?!
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
What's this, what's this, am I happy or something?
Oh shit, oh shit, am I happy or something?
Is it you, is it me, is it us, is it we?
Uh oh
But yeah, but, no, but how'd this happen?
I'm all red and she's of a fashion
Is it you, is it me, is it us, is it we?
Uh oh
Take you out anywhere
Tie you to the kitchen chair
Either's good
Funny that I seem to care
Usually I'm running scared
And I would, oh, but it's all too good
I smile away as she moves her stuff in
My eyes all doe and I'm calling her muffin
Is it you, is it me, is it us, is it we?
Uh oh
Rise and shine, she's right there with me
On my mind, be it clean or filthy
Is it you, is it me, is it us, is it we?
Uh oh
Take you out anywhere
Tie you to the kitchen chair
Either's good
Funny that I seem to care
Usually I'm running scared
And I would but it's all too good
And the voices in my head come now
Saying this'll never work, get out
And the voices in my head are loud
Saying this'll never work, get out
I don't wanna hear it
Take you out anywhere
Tie you to the kitchen chair
Either's good
Funny that I seem to care
Usually I'm running scared
And I would
Take you out anywhere
Tie you to the kitchen chair
Either's good
Funny that I seem to care
Usually I'm running scared
And I would but it's all too good
19.Over & Over
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
Over and over the same is the same
I make mistakes then I make them again
I find it comfortable here
Repeating myself cuts the fear
Some time ago I came up with a plan
Shit on myself so that no one else can
I have perfected this stance
You better keep your distance
All of my life I've been just getting by
Minimum due, let the balance ride
Why do I think I can cheat?
This ain't a system to beat
Love that I think I can stay on this track
All that you take you will have to give back
And I have been taking a lot
All of this fruit's gonna rot
There is a place where the happiness flows
Sunshine, lollipops, rainbows
I think I'll go there one day
Book for a week but then stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
