1.The Great Big No
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
Lover, don't turn your head
Just let me walk away
I thought I might have to say
You're asking the wrong guy
She wonders how
Thinks she knows now
She'll be right
They always go bye the bye
The great big no, the great big no
The great big no, the the great big no
Is nothing okay with you?
Is nothing okay with me?
Is anything happening
To have to go to sea?
He wonders why
The indigo guy
He'll be right
They always go, bye the bye
The great big no, the great big no
The great big no
Everyone knows everything
Everyone knows everything
Nobody, has got no one to go to
(Nobody)
The great big no
The great big no
The great big no
The great big no
Whoa
(Lover, don't turn your head)
Lover, don't turn your head
(Lover, don't turn your head)
No
(Lover, don't turn your head)
Is nothing okay with you?
2.Into Your Arms
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan, Robyn St. Clare
I know a place where I can go
When I'm alone
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms
I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm
From the crowd
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms
I can go
And if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone any more
I know a place where I can go
When I'm alone
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms
I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm
From the crowd
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms
I can go
So if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone any more
I know a place where I can go
When I'm alone
Into your arms, whoa, into your arms
I can go, I can go
3.Being Around
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
If I was in the fridge, would you open the door?
If I was the grass, would you mow your lawn?
If I was your body, would you still wear clothes?
If I was a booger, would you blow your nose?
Would you keep it? Would you eat it?
I'm just trying to give myself a reason, for being around
If I was a front porch swing would you let me hang?
If I was a dance floor would you shake your thing?
If I was a rubber check would you let me bounce
Up and down inside your bank account?
Would you trust me, not to break you?
I'm just trying really hard to make you, notice me being around
If I was a haircut would you wear a hat?
If I was a maid, could I clean your flat?
If I was the carpet would you wipe your feet
In time to save me from mud off the street?
If you like me, if you love me
Would you get down on your knees and scrub me?
I'm a little grubby from being around
4.It's About Time
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
Bite my tongue
And I won't say a word against anyone
But I don't wanna get my fingers wet
Unless it's an accident
I fell out on the street
Now I'm watching my shoes and I grit my teeth
But I don't have to look that way
If I had half a say
It's about time
It's about time
Lick my lips
And I won't hear the end of this
On your knees a reassurance
Buy some time and come back for it
Before long, before it's gone
Patience is like bread I say
I ran out of that yesterday
It's about time
It's about time
Enough about us
Let's talk about me
It's not about you
It's not about sunshine
It's about time
It's about time
Touch my leg
It's smooth but there stubble there
I'll fall back and let 'em go
Only when I know you know
I don't know make me sure
Have your people contact mine
And keep your lawyer on the line
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
5.Down About It
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Toss the beginning and try to live it down
An' work my way out I been so down about it
It gets the same every time I shy
Away from the blame and I stand my time
You can understand why I been so down about it
She's gonna give me all the time I need to finish it
And if I can't I'll sleep over
And out like a light when it's not plugged in
Fading around if it starts again
You just don't get it when I get so down about it
I drop you a hint so I hope you don't catch
You fumble your keys and I throw the latch
You'll still worried that I been so down about it
She's gonna give me all the time I need to finish it
And if I can't I'll sleep over
Out of it so I'd hope she'd be there
Talk to her as I climb the stairs, I told her
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
(Don't you know I been so down about it)
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
(I get so down about it)
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
(So down about it)
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
(So down about it)
6.Style
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
Don't wanna get stoned
Don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned
Don't wanna get high
I don't wanna get high
But I don't wanna not get high
And I don't wanna not get stoned
Wanna knock things down
I'm not gonna knock things down
But I don't wanna not get stoned
So I'm not gonna not knock things down
Don't wanna think twice
I don't have to think twice
But I'm not gonna get high
And I'm not gonna get stoned
Style
Not gonna come 'round
I don't wanna come down
I just want a killer line
And I'll figure it out myself
Don't wanna get stoned
I don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned
Style
7.Paid To Smile
Lyricist:Evan Dando
Could you see your way clear?
And arrange your eyes away from mine
Sorry, I'm here
But you get paid, get paid to lie
You get paid to smile
Would you really say, hello?
And let me carry my own guitar
And please don't hold the door
I can work the handle on any car
It's really not that hard
Smile, paid to smile
Smile, paid to smile
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
The cigarette girl took off her tray
And dropped her dress in a shiny pile
Pulled her pants up on her way
When she gets home, she'll laugh a while
She gets paid to smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
8.I'll Do It Anyway
Lyricist:Evan Dando
Bless my soul and maybe I should leave it alone
I'm sure it could be safer to stay at home
You've made your point, it's pointless and it's all gonna burn
I'm in no state to skate but I'm gonna take my turn, yeah
I know you might never really understand
Why go through these motions with my hands
It's a gesture at best but my body's in the right place
To fall in your arms now and wait to save face
I'll do it anyway, no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts but I got a hunch and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway, shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand, it just ain't planned, it's still a
beautiful world
American men, you know them, they just gotta be right
When it's left to me often times I'd rather not fight
They make a big deal out of everything and they got too many
guns
And just to make 'em mad I'm gonna do it for fun
I'll do it anyway, no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts but I got a hunch and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway, shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand, it just ain't planned, it's still a
beautiful world
I'll do it anyway, no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts but I got a hunch and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway, over the barren plains
I'm still a girl and it's just a horse and I got the reins
9.Rest Assured
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
One of the reasons
I came all this way
Two opposite seasons
I had to hear you say
You were gonna hang around a while
I notice my postcard in a pile
One, two, three, four
Pepper, salt, sugar and tarragon
We're hanging by the pool
Mortar bricks and aluminum
Step one, figure two
I know it's probably not my place
Watch the water drain different way
One, two, one, two, three
If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
If I could you know I'd try to
Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out
It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without
It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without
Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out
If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Ask the other half if I might
Rest assured
10.You Can Take It With You (Part 2)
11.Superhero
12.And So The Story Goes
13.You Can Take It With You (Part 1)
Found a place nothing's ever there
Made a little space big enough to pitch a tent
A hideaway I hadn't ever gone
'Til I whacked my way under the overgrowth
I found a place I found a place
I found a place I whacked my way
And looking back to discover my tracks
Dirty hands and light through the branches
Found myself a breathing place
Got room to stand up straight
And if I wanna lay around I can
Find way to pass the time
Flat down or on my side
And in a while I close my eyes
You can
You can
Come on
You can be too rich
And you can be too thin
And you can take it with you
Wherever you go
You must talk to strangers
When you visit a new park
You might ask the park ranger
Where you should park
You can be too rich
And you can be too thin
And you can take it with you
The things that you learn
