1.Polyester Meets Acetate
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion forward
No first year mannequin
Thrift shop chic pupil for arts over locker
She got flair and foresight
Hicksville belle to a campus crush
For first year co-ed fun
Polyester meets acetate
Cuts that will never date
A look to hook tomorrow's sap
She's a conquest in heels
So in touch with style and grace
When all the fools in school go ooo-ooo
I wish they would all go huff paint
Instead of making plays for her
She's a conquest in heels
Subscriber to alternative press
When all the fools in school go ooo-ooo
Chomsky's her coffee shop date
I just wanna play for her
She's a conquest in heels
So in touch with style and grace
When all the fools in school go ooo-ooo
I wish they would all go huff paint
Instead of making plays for her
2.Too Big For Gidget
I don't wanna fall in love with a short girl
'Cause every now and then one catches my eye
What if I can't kiss her standing up
It'll look so silly and hurt if I want to so
I don't wanna fall in love with a tall man
'Cause every now and then I fantasise
What if I can't reach his lips
It'd feel so silly
Hugging with my head at his waist
But I can't get no other picture in my head
When I'm alone at night
And if my beach towel buddy
Could be any kind of guy
He would lay there so very close...to me.
3.Best Friend Envy
My bestfriend dances better than I can can
My bestfriend she got a penthouse apartment
She gets the eye from all the boys in town
Suits my wardrobe better than me now
And although it's not intentional
This bestfriend envy has got to stop
My bestfriend dances better than I can can
(my bestfriend doo doo)
My bestfriend she got a penthouse apartment
(my bestfriend doo doo)
My bestfriend
And although it's not intentional
This bestfriend envy has got to stop
My bestfriend says we should hang out
Her social planners tuned to the in-scene now
I think she's screening my calls
She's only missed a million
But maybe I've just got paranoid vision
No no misplaced insecurities
This bestfriend envy has got to stop
My bestfriend says we should hang out
(my bestfriend doo doo)
Suits my wardrobe better than me now
(my bestfriend doo doo)
My bestfriend
And although it's not intentional
This bestfriend envy has got to stop
4.No Regrets
My boy always knew what he wanted to do
I watched to see him try
My boy he lost his macho confidence
And then he lost mine
My boy went to greater lengths
And assured himself there'd be no regrets
My boy he was wrong once he was so strong
Dreams can take a long lifetime
And leave you with a broken mind
And now, now it hurts, to face regret
5.Loopy Loopy Love
Got a bad bad feeling this pain for me is new
Though I've seen it in the movies
Where they over act boo hoo
(But this emptiness is real,
Yes ill heartedness is true)
When days of splendour in the grass
Turn into days so blue
I'm going loopy loopy over a love
(Loopy loopy love)
Yeah I'm acting stupid stupid 'cause of a love
(Stupid stupid love)
Gonna kill me a cupid uh oh
('cause a cupid causes love)
Yeah I'm loopy loopy loopy over a love
6.Mars Loves Venus
Hey hey honey throat, got a song for this one
A sad love song kicks my arse every time
Yeah well I know this pretty girl
She works my small town blues full time
Dulce dulce country boy, find a secret place
Where we can walk and talk about stuff
Walk - we should run but such is life
Under this burning sun
In a small town
South of the border
Where men are men
And women need a sense of humour
Mars loves Venus
Venus loves Mars
But where does that leave
All the other planets and stars
Well don't you worry about them
I'm sure it's not that hard to find a solar friend
Dulce dulce country girl
Please don't hide behind your mother's
Inexpensive skirts
Well I'll try so don't be a stranger
Even though daddy tells me
'Stay away from that loser'
And Mars loves Venus
Venus loves Mars
7.Leonard Says
Don't hit your head Honey
It'll work out fine
Don't worry about tomorrow
What's important is tonight
Tonight you're beside me
Yeah, now what's the late night movie
Leonard says
'It's a headache inducing melodrama'
'Dull and deadening'
Nothing like ninety minutes of escapism
What's that？ Yep, that's definitely a smile
I don't wanna be anybody for nobody but you
But I sure don't wanna be thirty-something
Working in a record store
Trying to warm to a new VU
When it's last week with a cheap quirk
Paranoid I'm just getting bitter and old
Please don't scare me like that ever again
I won't be an audience for your self aggression
And if you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends
8.Whale In The Sand
It's just like a whale in the sand
Just like a whale in the sand
It's just like a whale in the sand
Just like a whale in the sand
It's washed up beached
It's was so big but now it's dead
And she can't save it
It should of gone off like a chain reaction boom
Oh no, oh no
Should have made me cry oow oow oow
Oh no, oh no
That time bomb stopped tick tick tickin'
At a quarter to detonation
Now I'm picking up a good vibration
It's just like a whale in the sand
Just like a whale in the sand
Should of made me cry oow oow oow
Oh no, oh no.
9.You Beautiful Militant
Killing is easy in carpark confusions
Your headache is drizzly your mind is opaque
The chalk on your tyres it dampens your fires
Your smoke signals rising all though the next week
You beautiful militant
You pick up your gun
And shoot everyone
You know what to do
To those who don't like you
The neighbourhood dogs are yapping and fighting
Domestics are breaking out over the road
Your consumer rights are consuming your nights
There's ants in your sugar and ants in your tea
You beautiful militant
You pick up your gun
And shoot everyone
You know what to do
To those who don't like you
10.The Record Store
Ever since i started working at the record store
I get to flirt with many girls than i did before
There are tall, short, blonde and brunette
But none can conversate me how we used to get
And lately i've been hearing about certain girlfriends
Well, i hear they do things i do not recommend
I don't mean to preach, cause that may drive you away
But, i know that sorta stuff can damage your brain
When i see you with a boyfriend
I realize its a lot harder than i imagined
It gets hard to get so close
When i feel like i'm sharing the affection
I never show i'm jealous
Start acting a little crazed
You may not wish to whether hear from me again
Oh, the record store
11.Your Heart Dies
This time 'round how can I pretend
That I'm not a bad bad man
Old haunts with new zeros
A fading view of adulthood
Swinging key parties
Well I hear it's a west coast thing
Don't play down your hopeless intrigue
Well not everyone's lawn
Gets mowed twice a week
What's that supposed to mean？
I could be as faithful as a seahorse
And if you were a marine biologist
You'd know how tender that line was
Honey pick up on the bittersweet
The tragedy that's life's limbo stick
'Cause there's a tear jerker waiting in the wings
Well that's still no reason to be so devoid of feeling
Once you were a trophy for me
And as luck would have it I a trophy for you
12.These Things Take Time
These things take time, like learning the clarinet
You know I'm trying but I'm so impatient
It's getting better week by week
You hardly ever squeak
Yeah...whatever
I think we could be good friends, you and me
We'd talk each day when we're apart
About our great plans to start our own band
How we'd go so far da da da da da
Doof doof generation, learn to dance again
And kick that style, it could take a while
Just listen for the back beat
Don't be scared to move your feet
It might seem slow - it's not techno
Oo-oo we were such a mess
Oo-oo I thought we'd never progress
And now I look forward to your caress
Now that you're here I feel I must be sincere
I get petrified 'cause I really care
But that's half the fun, nervous adrenaline
And after a minute I'm ready to hop back in it
