The Anniversary Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Shu Shubat

Blood on the walls the curtain calls
You waited there for no one at all
To the pine and oak trees that stand by your house
And they keep on blowing south to protect you through the winter
Surrounded - we'll never understand

Angel angel angels with your broken wings
Stop asking me sing with those voices I just can't find
A shame to be ashamed now I'm ashamed
Not smarter than the human brain
Just smarter than humans

No - shubat

Lay your arms, strong and unharmed, bend and wave
On the cemetery lawn, follow the sound straight through the
ground. (twice)


2.100 Ships


recorded before Designing a Nervous Breakdown
released in April 2000 on a 7' by Devil in the Woods magazine

Well I know feeling strange - sometimes you're feeling strange
Outside she waits
So you know that we couldn't be stopped 100 ships in a parking
lot
Where have all the pieces gone?

Looking for the edge of the world
Boy you hated his favorite girl
They would travel sideways - sideways in two's

Life makes fools speak in half-truth
Speak in half-truth - drowning away all our time
I never want to say anything to anyone
I've never meant that much to you

It's time to pack my bags and gather all
All of the courage I feel
To gather all the courage of kings the king of hearts
Only last ????????????

Looking for the edge of the world
Boy you hated his favorite girl
They would travel sideways - sideways in two's

Life makes fools speak in half-truth
Speak in half-truth - drowning away all our time
I never want to say anything to anyone
I've never meant that much to you

Fell down in a weak spot
The water always tastes sweet
Life makes fools speak in half-truth
Speak in half-truth - drowning away all our time
I never want to say anything to anyone
I've never meant that much to you


3.Alec Eiffel


The Get Up Kids' cover on the Pixies tribute album Where is my
Mind?
Adrianne sings back-up vocals

Pioneer of aerodynamics (little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They thought he was a real smart Alec (little Eiffel, little
Eiffel)
He thought big and they called it a phallic (little Eiffel,
little Eiffel)
They didn't know he was panoramic

Little Eiffel stands in the archway (little Eiffel, little
Eiffel)
Keeping low doesn't make no sense

Sometimes people can be oh so dense
They didn't want it but he built it anyway
Little Eiffel stands in the archways (little Eiffel, little
Eiffel)
Keeping low doesn't make sense
Keeping low doesn't make no sense (little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway

Oh Alexander I see you beneath the archway of aerodynamics x12


4.Anais


released on The Anniversary/Superdrag split EP

Stab another soul into the ceiling - Anais
Taste the dirty murder in your breathing - Anais
I want you - I want you
la da da da...

The Mistress of Missouri ease your grieving - Anais
The bullet in your brain stop your breathing - Anais
I want you - I want you
la da da da...

And we flee through the streets
And we run from the sun
And we lust for some trust
And we fight with our eyes

Pull another drink so it's deceiving - Anais
You tried to hide the heart that you've been eating - Anais
I want you - I want you
la da da da...


5.Commotion


originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Anniversary occasionally plays this song live

Traffic in the city turns my head around
No, no, no, no, no
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church
Everywhere you look there's a frown, frown

Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone

People keep a-talkin', they don't say a word
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door
So much goin' on I just can't hear

Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone

Hurryin' to get there so you save some time.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home,
Worry 'bout the time you save, save.

Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone


6.Crooked Crown


Oh, until tomorrow, I wear this crooked crown
To balance the power Telling me to dance the night away, now
Dance the night away oh oh oh yeah
I wear this crooked crown

Come close, you've never been so far away my dear
Move your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on
Shake your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on

Until tomorrow, I wear this crooked crown
Under the moonlight
Asking me to raise the dead, uh oh oh
Raise the dead, uh oh oh oh oh yeah
I wear this crooked crown

Come close, you've never been so far away, my dear
Move your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on
Shake your hips pretty darling
Move your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on
Shake your hips, pretty darling

Oh sugar why you wanna go and start this war?
Why you wanna go all alone?
Why you wanna go and start this war?
Why you wanna go all alone?
Why you wanna go and start this war?
Why you wanna go?

Move your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on
Shake your hips, pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on
Move your hips, pretty darling - Oh sugar come on
Shake your hips pretty darling - Oh Sugar come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh Sugar come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh Sugar come on, move your hips, shake your hips
Oh Sugar come on, oh come on oh come on


7.Fletcher Durbin


to be released on a forthcoming compilation on Close to Nothing
Records

red die fall to the bottom
like movies making great cinema
being the spiral
like dreams inside my dreams
what's the difference
telling them seems like more work than its ever worth

throw the book and I'm giving up again

CB calls from the graveyard
passing on the news of
tomorrow's bad weather
a dream inside my dreams makes all the difference
gluing up the pages
is anything right

,,,

getting up again..


8.Follow The Sun


And we all follow the sun, come everyone, follow the sun (13x)


9.Hold me Tonight


released on the tour 7' and
the Floppy Records compilation No-Fi Trash

Have I taken you for granted?
But I know what matters most to you
In slow motion as you walk on by
Pictures of you forever in my mind

Hold me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hole me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Tomorrow keeps bringing you down and I'm still right here
Follow me to the end of the sea

Looking out for new ideas
I thought that sometimes dreams come true
When to everyone who's always been there
I'm giving this to you

Hold me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hole me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Tomorrow keeps bringing you down and I'm still right here
Follow me to the end of the sea

Time is the secret so know as they fall onto you
My hands reach out and into nothing (but your big turning eyes?)
I saw her tonight standing outside - I said too much
One of you screamed my name and I care without anything else
You said - I heard what you said - I loved what you said when
you said it to me
You sing - singing that song - when the back seat's singing my
mind

Hold me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hole me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hold me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Hole me tonight, tonight, tonight!


10.Husam Husam


I saw the stones in her eyes
I saw the shadow of the world turn white
She thought she did it right
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth

Husam, who shot your daughter
Asleep in the house of your father
Husam, who shot daughter
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
The girl who fell across the sea

Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
Turn as the earth, and be free
Weep in the well, and be free
Drink mother's milk, and be free
Turn as the earth and be free


11.I Believe that the End of the Reign of Terror is Soon Near


released on the Vagrant Record's compilation Another Year on the
Streets

Clothes make the man and looks
I am nothing but books and heart
Walk like a killer, talk like a priest
This is my dream - my destiny
Those nightmares that you've seen seem like such a dream to me

Scream you wanna go back again a time
Alas the king of sorrow - go off with him tomorrow
Please please tell me what those crazy months were
I can't remember - we prayed for stormy weather
To watch you dance

Silence - as we grow old
And I will never forget who you are
I'm counting things I have forgotten so far

All your patience has withered - withered away
The love beside you will fight and struggle to stay
All your patience has withered - withered away
The love beside you will fight and struggle to stay

Throw your arms up in the air
It's the man who stands behind the curtains who should be feared
And never forget your proof
For it suits you to know the truth


12.On With the Show


The Get Up Kids' cover on the compilation I Love Metal
Josh plays keyboards

Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know how the story goes

With his 6-string knife
And his street-wise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew all their dreams would come true

Ya see Frankie was fast
He was too fast ya know
He wouldn't go slow until his lethal dose
And she knows he'd finally come too close

On with the show
Goin on with the show
Come on baby no no no
On with the show
Goin on with the show
Come on baby no no no

He was bad - he was never good
But one thing that he understand
And she knew all these lies would come true

The time has come and he paid his dues
And Suzy finally got the news
She always knew this day would come soon

On with the show
Goin on with the show
Come on baby no no no
On with the show
Goin on with the show
Come on baby no no no

Stuck on a dime with a switch-blade knife
Some damn punk went and took Frankie's life
And she knew she'd have to pull through

Broken down with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye said Suzy listen to me
You must go on with the show

On with the show
Goin on with the show
Come on baby no no no
On with the show
Goin on with the show
Come on baby no no no


13.Radio Song


released on Hot Rod Circuit's album If it's Cool with you it's
Cool with Me
Adrianne sings back up vocals

I got my ways - I got my reasons
I sit for days - got the reasons why
I like to sit around and get high risk my life away
Looks like another nervous breakdown
I can suck it in - and turn another bottle down
I'm late for the second time straight this week today

Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side

Waking up staring at the ceiling as I kling to you to stop this
feeling
I'm late for the second time straight this week today
I got my ways - I got my reasons
I can see the days - got the reasons why
I like to sit around and get high risk my life away

Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side

Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side


14.Supersad


released on Hot Rod Circuit's album If it's Cool with you it's
Cool with Me
Adrianne sings back up vocals

Another late night drive by you - I miss you so much
I know it's stupid but I'm saying this to you - I mean it too
Another late night drive by you - I miss you so much
I know it's stupid but I'm saying this to you - I mean it too

I'm seeing double and I know that I'm in trouble
I can't wait to see you standing there

Falling flat on my face - it's the best I can do
I hear you laughing and the smile on your face
is assurance that you need me here
Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can do

I'm kind of clueless and I hope you know this
Without each other then my heart will surely break
Another late night drive by you - I miss you so much
I know it's stupid but I'm saying this to you - I mean it too

I'm seeing double and I know that I'm in trouble
I can't wait to see you standing there
Falling flat on my face - it's the best I can do
I hear you laughing and the smile on your face
is assurance that you need me here
Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can do

Another summer passes on
You're still with me you're still going strong
Another summer passes on
You're still with me we're still going strong

I'm seeing double and I know that I'm in trouble
I can't wait to see you standing there
Falling flat on my face it's the best I can do
I hear you laughing and the smile on your face
is assurance that you need me here
Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can do


15.Sweet Marie


Sweet Marie, there's a hole where your heart should be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony
Sweet Marie, there's a hole where your heart should be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony

What beautiful lies you've been told
What terrible truths drown your soul
She hides behind all my lies

Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need all my love tonight - all my love

Sweet Marie, how cold your body can be
And on the hill she's begging for a harmony
Such a beautiful kiss in the face of fear
Such a beautiful song burns through your ears
She hides behind all my lies

Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need all my love tonight - all my love

Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need to be loved
Oh you need...


16.The Siren Sings


You were a castaway from New Orleans
Fought the world to find your dreams, oh yeah
Almost starved to death, cuz you had no money
Sold your soul for blood and honey, oh yeah
Cars crash and we collide as the siren sings the saddest song
tonight
And this is it, how it all comes down
To the love you would leave the streets of your home town

At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine

I was a cast away from New Orleans
Fought the world to find my dreams, oh yeah
Your heart had to let me go
Now I'd rather die than ever be alone, oh yeah

At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine

At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
I was losing everything
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
At the edge of the rest of your life
At the end of a one way road
And tonight may never shine
If you never open your eyes
I keep this heart right next to mine
I keep this heart right next to mine
I keep this heart right next to mine


17.To Never Die Young


I never thought I would fall over
My feet having pushed underground
But I fell down - yes over
I've been told that lovers shine brighter
I've traveled the darkest of roads
And nearing the end of this chapter the book explodes

Taking off in the dawn
I'll never die young
I can live to regret this
Others have loved the land
Those rings on your hands make the world come together
But it never does turn out right - on goes the fight

Back in my head - back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's four am - all sounds have worn thin
The memories float along

Taking off in the dawn
I'll never die young
I can live to regret this
Others have loved the land
Those rings on your hands make the world come together
But it never does turn out right - on goes the fight

Back in my head - back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's four am - all sounds have worn thin
The memories float along


18.Tu-Whit To-Whoo


By the house that you call home lies the evil and the scared
Pass the saints through the heaven gates - we can hide out there
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I've known you all my life tonight

On the Highland borderline it brings us back when we were kids
Pictures of our dead loved ones - the night is young so don't be
scared
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I've known you all my life tonight


19.Tu-Whitt To-Whoo


By the house that you call home lies the evil and the scared
Pass the saints through the heaven gates - we can hide out there
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I've known you all my life tonight

On the Highland borderline it brings us back when we were kids
Pictures of our dead loved ones - the night is young so don't be
scared
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I've known you all my life tonight


20.Untitled 1


Well I can think all day and that's keeping me away
From coming home to you
What I want to say - so beautiful are

Now I'm running out of life and making mistakes
??????? in your heart and tears rolling down my face
And tears rolling down my face

????????????? for the rest of the song


21.Untitled 2


Do you know that I miss you?
Do you know how the hell I feel?
My body has slowed down cause that's how much I care
Pieces of you fall from shady trees
And they heat my soul taking with it some disease
I haven't slept

Now more than ever
I was for you everyday
All that's around me
You know I always look away
When I say you're name it burns in my throat
I lied when I said I would always ?????

The world will change outside my window
Where things always break
I haven't slept since I left
I haven't slept since you
I haven't slept

So I'm coming back
Today we'll break the night's attack
You always you always forget
There's no shame in that
And this time I will unpack
You always you always forget

So I'm coming back
Today we'll break the night's attack
You always you always forget
There's no shame in that
And this time I will unpack
You always you always forget

I stepped out of the house today
I walked down where those dead men lay
I stepped out of the house today
I walked down where those dead men lay
Now both of your arms they are broken
So all they can do - they can only stay open

So I'm coming back
Today we'll break the night's attack
You always you always forget
There's no shame in that
And this time I will unpack
You always you always forget

So I'm coming back
Today we'll break the night's attack
You always you always forget
There's no shame in that
And this time I will unpack
You always you always forget


22.Up in the Sky


released on The Anniversary/Superdrag split EP

Everybody's running from a cloud way up in the sky
A human disguise - saw it in their eyes
Everybody's shouting cause they never seen their daddy cry
An ugly surprise when the invincible dies

Ain't nobody gonna shake me off of my feet
Ain't nobody gonna shake me the way I shook myself
Brother's gonna shake that sugar tree down

Everybody's hoping that the poet's gonna give some love
With his iron glove - he's got nothing to see
Everybody's looking for the creature man to give them some peace
But he swallowed his teeth and wants the demons to pay

Ain't nobody gonna shake me off of my feet
Ain't nobody gonna shake me the way I shook myself
Brother's gonna shake that sugar tree down

Oh you gotta believe yeah you gotta believe
Oh you gotta believe

Everybody's running from a cloud way up in the sky
A human disguise - saw it in their eyes
Everybody's shouting cause they never seen their daddy cry
An ugly surprise when the invincible dies

Oh you gotta believe yeah you gotta believe x12


23.Vasil + Bluey


I can leave this place tomorrow
A sad-eyed supper having to turn down
Raise a glass to old man Vasil
Who crept across the sea to find her there
And as their hands touched they disappear - we miss them dear

If you could hear her voice
That's the girl - that's the boy you took by choice
Father all your children - greet them with a smile
Stay with me for a while
Sooner you'll be gone
Sooner then you will frown
Stay with me just for now

Father all your children - greet them with a smile
Stay with me for a while
Sooner you'll be gone
Sooner then you will frown
Stay with me just for now


24.What's my Name? My Name is... What!? What!?


I like to crash and burn my tiny body breaks I hardly say a
word
Teenage girls are so distractive (distractive) - it makes them
so attractive
Change the temperature to 60 - tonight girl you better make it
sexy
She lived the movie life so we acted how it might feel to fall
in love
And we lived on beyond the stars look at how high they are -
how high are you?
And I never pray at night and when the joke's not going right I
sit alone

There's one thing that is gold
It's the one thing you have stolen
And you've gone and turned it black
Your stories always end like that

There's one thing that is gold
It's the one thing you have stolen
And you've gone and turned it black
Your stories always end like that

Pick up the pieces

Pick up the pieces
