Hindsight Is 20/20 My Friend

The Ergs Hindsight Is 20/20 My Friend Lyrics
1.Introducing Morrissey

The last album I loved
The whole way through
Was by a band that had formed
In 1982.
I was barely alive
I had some thinking to do,
But once I figured it out
I was in love and I knew that I,
Would be in love forever.

The last girl that I loved
She kind of looked like you.
She had a beat up guitar
And an awesome tattoo,
But she was breaking my heart
I had some learnin' to do,
And once I figured it out
I was in love and I knew that I,
Would be in love forever.
Well I, would be in love forever.

I wish I could get you to call me.
I wish that you would stand here beside me.
But I will never be with you.
I wish my mind would trip to way back when
You were a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend.
Life is long when your lonely.
Life is long when your lonely.

The last album I loved
The whole way through
Was by a band that had formed
In 1982.
I was barely alive
I had some learnin' to do,
But once I figured it out
I was in love and I knew that I,
Would be in love forever.
Well I, would be in love forever.
Well I, would be in love forever.

Life is long when your lonely.
Life is long when your lonely.
Life is long when your lonely.
Life is long when your lonely.


2.Hey Jealousy

Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see Im in no shape for driving
And anyway Ive got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best Id ever had
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you dont expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
She took my heart
Theres only one thing I couldnt start


3.Jazz Is Like The New Coke

Everybody's talkin', everone's recallin' the reasons you're so
cool.
Well, I can name a few. You could say that I'm in love.

That's when you say 'Allright, It's been such a long night,' and
you're spoken for.
Guess I should have known, well I'll see you sometime soon.

He makes your heart skip, and I make an exit. He makes a real
good boyfriend, I make the long drive home.

I'm the one whose wishin' that I can mkae you mine, but he's the
one you'll be makin' out with tonight.

Everybody's talkin', everyone's recallin' the reasons I'm so
lame. Well, I can name a few.
You could say that I'm a mess.
Oh girl, I wish you were smart and I could win your heart. I'd
say something nice and stare into your eyes. I'd say 'I love you
so!'

He makes your heart skip, and I make an exit. He makes a real
good boyfriend, I make the long drive home.

I'm the one whose wishin' I that could make you mine. He must be
doin' something right, because he's the one you'll be makin' out
with every night. I stumble out to find a reason every night. I
wonder if you two are makin' out allright. I bet everything I
have against it now.

And I'll make out the check when I get home.


4.Bought A Copy

See I wrote this letter I hope you got it
See I threw the ball I hope you caught it
See I wrote this little book on loneliness
I hope you Bought a Copy

See I sailed the ship I hope you boarded
And I sank this love affair you thwarted
See I wrote this little book on happiness
You'll find it in the fiction section

See I wrote this letter I hope you got it
See I threw the ball I hope you caught it
See I wrote this little book on loneliness...


5.Beautiful

It's over
I know that
I knew that before it even was

I know dead love
Doesn't grow back
But my naive advisers swear it does

I'm not the only fool around
Who's been a slave to a hint of meaning
Once you start to fool around I have direction,
I have desperate leaning
Oh oh, feeling like I'm seeing things...

It's not my fault, I love you so
It wasn't my wish for you to let me go
I promise that I'll try to keep this cool
Tell me though, must you be so Beautiful?

Your lover
How is he?
Does he do it just the way you want to?

What happens when he's busy?
Do you get lonely when he doesn't want you?

It drives me crazy when you tell me that you really wanna be
Just my chum...
I've got a bottle fully of healthy dripping love and you wont
even try some
Oh oh, quick, phone the asylum

It's not my fault, I love you so
It wasn't my wish for you to let me go
I promise that I'll try to keep this cool
Tell me though, must you be so Beautiful?

I can handle your sweet voice
On the telephone line
I can handle your beat choice
To leave me alone, Fine!

I can handle the fact you said you'd found me rather dull
But must you be so mercilessy Beautiful?

It's over
I know that
I knew that before it even was

I know dead love
Doesn't grow back
But my naive advisers swear it does

I'm not the only fool around
Who's been a slave to a hint of meaning
Once you start to fool around I have direction,
I have desperate leaning
Oh oh, feeling like I'm seeing things...

It's not my fault, I love you so
It wasn't my wish for you to let me go
I promise that I'll try to keep this cool
Tell me though, must you be so beautiful?

9.August 19th

Today...is the first day of the rest of your life
And I.... I'm wishing I was there
But you're probably thinkin'
You know...I bet you don't even know what day it is
And yeah....That's something I deserve

Because for the last year or so
I haven't said a word
And when you made your plea
I looked the other way
But I tell you it was bullshit
And I'm wishing that you knew
That you're my only everything
And I swear to you that it's true

And I wish that I was there...

Today... is your ultra-mega, super-special day
And yeah...I'm wishing I was there
But you're probably thinkin'
You Know...you'd better not miss the last train to Loserville
And Yeah...You know, that's something I deserve

Because for the last year or so
I haven't said a word
And when you made your plea
I looked the other way
But I tell you it was bullshit
And I'm wishing that you knew
That you're my only everything
And I swear to you that it's true

And I wish that I was there...

12.More Vocal In The Monitor

Shit was so much easier
Before you came around.
Before you changed things for the worse.
Before all these empty kisses,
Sorrows that I drown.
Who knew love was such a curse?

Shit was so much easier
Before the night that I first kissed you
Before i fell in love with you.

You won't be needing this no more.
You won't be needing this no more.
You won't be needing this old broken heart no.
No more.

Shit was so much easier
Before the night we met
Before you broke my fucking heart in two.
Shit was so much easier
Before you told me all those white lies.
Now what's a fool supposed to do?

Shit was so much easier
Before the night that I first kissed you
Before i fell in love with you.

You won't be needing this no more.
You won't be needing this no more.
You won't be needing this old broken heart no more.
No more.
No more.
No more.

16.Saturday Night Crap-O-Rama

You've got a new thing going
And I can't get with that
And now the scars are showing
From the memories gone bad so I say
Go on.

Here's another one that's dedicated
To you the one I adore
Here's another broken hearted love song
To all the lonely hearts I hope they sing along


17.If You Don't

Do you still keep my pictures in your frame?
Cause I still shut down with the sound of your name.
Do you still wanna talk to me like you used to?
Cause I could understand if you don't
I Wont...Call unless you call me first

Do you still keep my letters in your drawer
Cause I still have yours but I don't read them anymore
Do you still wanna kiss me like you used to
Cause I could understand if you don't

Do you still hold me close to your heart
Cause I still need you even though we are apart
Do you still wanna hole me like you used to?

I could understand if you don't


18.Feeling Minneapolis

And so the guy gets the girl but unfortunately the guy ain't me
I think I've read this book a few times before
I know the plot like the back of my hand
And the subject matters more than I can stand
But I cant seem to ever put it down

She's the queen of my dreams but unfortunately she's M.I.A.
And I'm clueless as to where she could be
And I wrote this letter 1000 times to you,
But there's nowhere to send it to
Where the hell are you?

Take me to the skyway
I'm sure that Westerberg would say
I'm Feeling Minneapolis again...


19.1000 Letters

It's 3 AM and I hope you get this note
I've been sitting, I've been thinking
Man it's been so hard to cope
And I took your stupid pictures from off of the mantle shelf
But I can't erase your voices from my head

Is it too soon because..
Remember when I told you that we couldn't work it out?
Remember when I told you all about these stupid doubts?
Well I wrote 1000 letters couldn't send a single one
Telling you that I have changed my mind

And you won't let me get you off my mind..
What can I do?
It hurts like hell but hell, what can I do?

It's been a couple weeks and still I've gotten no reply
I've been sitting, contemplating, forcing myself not to cry
And I can't help but think that everything has gone all wrong
And I miss hearing you tell me 'it's alright'

Is it too soon because..
Remember when I told you that we couldn't work it out?
Remember when I told you all about these stupid doubts?
Well I wrote 1000 letters couldn't send a single one
Telling you that I have changed my mind

And you won't let me get you off my mind..
What can I do?
It hurts like hell but hell, what can I do?

You've got a lot of problems
And I'd love to help you out
But my train leaves at 1:30 and its 1:28 now..

I'm burning all your pictures
No thanks for the memories

DON'T FORGET TO LOSE MY NUMBER AND REMEMBER TO FORGET IT NOW!

21.Nasty Ho

You saved my soul
You made me hard and put me in your hole
Yeah, you feel so good
Dick is like a stiff hard piece of wood

Oh, I thought this was free
Don't lay guilt on me
This is larcene

You gotta let it go
or let it flow
I told you so
that I got no dough

Or just say no
or let it go
Cuz now I know
you're so low
You nasty ho

You are insane
To think I'd piss my money down the drain
Yeah you think I came
I'm premature ejaculation trained

You, you don't mean a thing
If my dick don't swing
Make my ding dong ring

You gotta let it go
or let it flow
I told you so
that I got no dough

Or just say no
or let it go
Cuz now I know
you're so low
You nasty ho

Hey Joe, whadda ya know?
You're hangin' low
I love you so


22.Steering Clear In The New Year

I saw you
You saw me
We saw each other I guess..

It won't matter in another hour
Cause the both of us will be dead

No time for
It to mean
Anything other than the New Year

In my mind hoping
That you resolve
For me not to Steer Clear


23.Not A Second Time

You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you

And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry
It's true, oh-oh-oh
You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no
Not a second time


You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you, yeah

And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry
It's you, oh-oh-h

You're giving me the same old line
I'm wond'ring why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no
Not a second time

Not a second time
Not a second time
No, no, no, no, no
Not a second time

25.Out There


26.Every Romance Language

There were times when if i told you this, you would've been
impressed
And in time, those days might make their way back
I won't hold my breath
There were times where we were stupid kids
And it was all a game
But as for now, this is the best night of my life

And if you were here
I know you'd love it so
I wish you were here
Because i love you so

And these are things i often think about
But it's a waste of time
'Cause you're not here
I'm not sober
It's not 1999
And these are things i often think about
But it's all in the past
And as for now, this is the best night of my life

And if you were here
I'd say i love you so
I wish you were here
But you're not
And every romance language says you sound the same


27.It's Like I Say, Y'know

They cut down the trees behind the bus stop
They tore down the innocent wonders of my youth

And it's like I always say you know?

I remember when bears used to live there
Indians in tepees sent out signals with a rug

And it's like I always say you know?
And it's like I always say you know?
Things used to be so big (and I used to feel so small)
Things used to be so new (when did they get so old?)
Things used to be so... Better

My father used to work in asbestos
Now I'm not exactly sure what he does with his time
His kids are all grown up now
I'll bet he's wondering what happened to all that time

And it's like I always say you know?
And it's like I always say you know?
Things used to be so big (and I used to feel so small)
Things used to be so new (when did they get so old?)
Things used to be so... Better


28.Books About Miles Davis

I'm thinking of a girl
She came around here a couple years before
I'm much older now

And it would be wonderful
If I could re-write history
All of these could've beens
I guess they're left to mystery
And you could say I'm falling in love
And you probably will

I'm thinking a lot more
I'm freaking out and you've heard it all before
I apologize

And I'm having these restless nights
And I swear it's growing tired
You say 'it's all good' and 'I'm preaching to the choir'
And you could say I'm 'a little insane'
And you probably will

This is all I've got
I'll quit my job and I'll sell this vacant lot that is my life
And I'll settle down in a place I've only read about in books
about Miles Davis
I'll bust right through that door and say
I'm here to save us and then

You could say I should probably go
And you probably will


29.Blue


30.Warm & Sharp

I, I get so anxious
My god, how it does it burn
I get so uptight around my friends
I never feel more treacherous

Sometimes I don't feel like being close
Sometimes I can't let go

Last night, I had a dream
Only I would understand
Vast lands of confusion
I visit every time, clawing through my gut
And when you think about it
It seems so inevitable
That this time I'm right
About a lot of things
It hurts so much to be wrong

Sometimes I don't feel like being close
Sometimes I can't let go

Knife-like hugs feeling warm and sharp
That's not a devil in my arms
Years go by between the first and the last
Standing still in the immediate past
Knife-like hugs feeling warm and sharp
Last time I try to tell you how I feel


31.Out On The Interstate

Dark sky blue with a
Bright red crown.
The invitation every
City and town.
Ready to go
Into the unknown.
I don't know the
If and whens of coming home.

My future crept up on me
Much like a heart attack.
Straight life is calling me,
And I aint calling back.

Out, out on the interstate.
Out, out on the interstate.
Out, out on the interstate.
Out on the interstate again.

On either side it's a
Burning creek,
And nothing but black asphalt
In between.
It's not safe to drive
In the rear-view.
It's what lies ahead that can kill you.

My future crept up on me
Much like a heart attack.
The straight life is calling me,
But I aint calling back.

Out, out on the interstate.
Out, out on the interstate.
Out, out on the interstate.
Out on the interstate again.

And reality is bangin'
Hard on my bathroom door.
And nobody calls me
'Cause I don't answer it no more.

Out, out on the interstate.
Out, out on the interstate.
Out, out on the interstate.
Out on the interstate again.

33.Million Perfect Dub

Wrote you a song today
Well, it's not that much I just kinda wanted to say
Thanks for picking up the pieces
Yeah, you know you made these lies more plausible

Dropped you a line today
Well, its not that much I just kinda wanted to say
Hope everything's going alright
and I hope you're as happy as you'd like to be

And I'll do
My Part to rid you of this
Broken Heart
And I'm here to say
Heres to you and
A Million Perfect Days...
