The Rentals Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Overlee

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

It is the saddest day
When you find you're alone
Well, that's why I'm here with you
See, I got no place to go

Yeah, the truth is I feel safe here
The most comforting place that I know
It's still the saddest day
When you say this is not my home

I wanna take you to Overlee
In a blue world floating endlessly
Where there's no language and there's no country
I wanna take you to Overlee

Now, I return to your place
Knocking trying to get in
And your room mate opens the door
And says, 'Why are you back here again?'

I put my things down in the hall
Quietly enter your room
You're sound asleep with the cats
As I climb back in bed with you

I wanna take you to Overlee
In a blue world floating endlessly
Where there's no language and there's no country
I wanna take you to Overlee

And we could swim around and round and round
And we could swim around and round and round
And we could swim and swim until we drowned
We could swim around and round and round

I wanna take you to Overlee
Floating 'round endlessly
No language and no country
Where I could hold you tenderly
I would take you over me
I wanna take you to Overlee

Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round

Where we could swim around and round and round
And we could swim and swim until we drowned


2.Brilliant Boy

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

Virginia backyards, suburban life
Don't wake the parents of Potomac tonight
Rolled on the couch by the TV's light
In the basement, no one else in sight
I fear the day that I am not with you

Unlock the front door, sneak out the house
Down to Montana where A.C. hangs out
Feeling 15, feeling no doubt
Does your sweet voice let my youth out?
I fear the day that I am not with you

You're just a stupid girl, stupid girl
Stupid girl, I ain't no brilliant boy
You're just a stupid girl, stupid girl
I ain't no brilliant boy

Down to train depot, get in line and file
Goodbye Virginia with your lousy style
Goodbye my gal, same time next year
Goodbye my gal, I'll always love you dear
I fear the day that I am not with you
I fear the day that I am not with you

You're just a stupid girl, stupid girl
Stupid girl, I ain't no brilliant boy
You're just a stupid girl, stupid girl
I ain't no brilliant boy, stupid girl
Stupid girl, I ain't no brilliant boy

Stupid girl, stupid girl, I ain't no brilliant boy
I ain't no brilliant boy, I ain't no brilliant boy
I ain't no brilliant boy, I ain't no brilliant boy
I ain't no brilliant boy, I ain't no brilliant boy
I ain't no brilliant boy


3.Friends of P.

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

I'm a good guy for a gal
So won't you look my palm over?
I've got time for a chat
So won't you tell me my future?

I'm gonna break down at fifty
And I'm not quite a stallion
I'm a good guy for a gal
And I'm mentally slipping

Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's that you see?
Oh boy, find out what's up with me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's that you see?
Tell me more of what's gonna be

If you're friends with P.
Well, then you're friends with me
If you're down with P.
Well, then you're down with me

Friends of P.
Friends of P.
Friends of P.
Friends

Somebody's fame and fortune
Is gonna come to me early
I get two loves in my life
And I'm dying at 90

Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's that you see?
Oh boy, find out what's up with me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's that you see?
Tell me more of what's gonna be

If you're friends with P.
Well, then you're friends with me
If you're down with P.
Well, then you're down with me

Friends of P.
Friends of P.

Friends of P.

If you're friends with P.
Well, then you're friends with me
If you're down with P.

4.My Head Is In The Sun

Lyricist:Rivers Cuomo, Matt Sharp

Silence in the air
At the end of the affair
End of the run
It's just begun

Silence in the air
I don't know if I even care
About anyone
You look overrun
My head is in the sun

Seven more minutes to hide away
Far from everyone
Seven more minutes slide away
Somewhere in the sun

(Somewhere far from everyone)
My head is in the sun
(Somewhere far from everyone)
My head is in the sun

Silence in the air
At the end of the affair
End of the run
They have not won

Silence in the air
I don't know if I even care
About anyone
You're overrun
My head is in the sun

Seven more minutes to hide away
Far from everyone
Seven more minutes slide away
Somewhere in the sun

(Somewhere far from everyone)
My head is in the sun
(Somewhere far from everyone)
My head is in the sun

I heard you singing
Seven more minutes to hide away
Far from everyone
Seven more minutes slide away
Somewhere in the sun

(Somewhere far from everyone)
My head is in the sun
(Somewhere far from everyone)
My head is in the sun

(Somewhere far from everyone)
My head is in the sun
(My head is in the sun)
Far from everyone

(Somewhere far from everyone)
Seven more minutes to hide away
Far from everyone
(Somewhere far from everyone)
Seven more minutes slide away
Somewhere in the sun

Somewhere in the sun
My head is in the sun
Somewhere in the sun
My head is in the sun


5.The Love I'm Searching For

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

I don't think I'll find the love I want
The love I'm searching for in this machine

The systems failed, all the circuits blown
And the message lost in this machine
Tried all the codes, all possibilities, all combinations but
still nothing

Called for backup from my assistants but
No one seems to know anything
Disconnect, shut the main reactor down
And separate from this technology

I tried, you know I tried, I tried
Hard as it may be I know you should be with me
Even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe you should be with me

I don't think I'll find the love I want
The love I'm searching for in this machine

I tried, you know I tried, I tried
Hard as it may be I know you should be with me
Even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe you should be with me

I tried, you know I tried, I tried
Hard as it may be I know you should be with me
Even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe you should be with me
Even though it seems it's all lies
I still believe you should be with me


6.Sweetness and Tenderness

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

I need to figure this out
And find where my place is
I don't mean to threaten anyone
No need to get so defensive

You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care

I guess it's real simple
It's just like when Gary Newman said
You're just a viewer cold and distant
You are just business you're worthless

You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care

Sweetness
I need some tenderness
Sweetness
I need some tenderness

You know it's just like Judas said
I've been your right hand man all along
My admiration for you hasn't died
I haven't forgotten how put down? we are

You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care

Sweetness
I need some tenderness
Sweetness
I need some tenderness
Come away with me
Come away with me
Sweetness
Come away with me
We can hide in peace
And we can finally rest

This melody's wrong
And I do care
This melody's wrong
Yes I care


7.The Cruise

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

And we sing
(Out of tune)
Come on

There's so many of you, so many people I see
So many of you that I'd like to meet
There's so many things we could do
If you only knew

Jump with you, sleep with you, cheat on our soul mates and find
That some people care and some they don't mind
It don't matter we do what we do
As we break on through

And we sing
Out of tune
We are on the cruise
(The cruise)

Optimistic right now, maybe I am
I know how so many people hate that
They'd rather see you lose
And drag you in the hole they're into

Jump with you, laugh with you
Babble while they criticize
Let them say what they say, no I really don't mind
Just let them do what they do as we break on through

And we sing
Out of tune
We are on the cruise
(The cruise)

Sleep with you
Deceive with you
Laugh with you
Break on through to the cruise

Yeah
And we sing
Out of tune
We are on the cruise
(The cruise)
Yeah

There's so many of you, so many people I see
So many of you that I'd like to meet
So many things we could do on the cruise

We're on the cruise, we're on the cruise
We're on the cruise, we're on the cruise
We're on the cruise
(But mostly keep it alive)


8.Say Goodbye Forever

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

Say goodbye forever

Come here and pick me up
Let's go to dinner
I know you don't know me at all and
You don't do things like this ever

It's so nice in your car
The music sings sweetly
Walk across the bridge to the beach
Yeah, kiss you while it's raining

Say goodbye
Say goodbye forever
I'm in such a lonely place
And I could be forever

Your place is so much different than mine
It's so calm and peaceful
I could lay in your living room
As long as possible

In the back of the taxi I feel
Loss of home and country
Back down to the storage space, yeah
L.A. can be so lonely

Say goodbye
Say goodbye forever
I'm in such a lonely place
And I could be forever

I know this is the only day we'll spend together
And I know, I know, I know, after this it's over forever

Say goodbye
So say goodbye forever
You've put me in a lonely place
Where I could be forever

So say goodbye
Say goodbye forever
You've put me in a lonely place
Where I could be forever


9.Keep Sleeping

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

It's about time you made a choice of when you're coming over
I asked you a long time ago, but still there's no word
Of when you'll leave your friends for me
In the itinerary is a thousand places we could be
(One thousand places we could be)

Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Paris, France or Columbus, Ohio
(Paris, France)
Australia, London, Tokyo but still you say no
(Tokyo)
I don't care, but need to know when you'll join me out on the
road
What will it take for you to go?
(What will it take for you to go?)

(You know I try)
You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired)
Keep tryin'

Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But you just keep sleeping
You keep sleeping
(You're not trying)

It's about time you came to me, I'm always flying to you
(It's about time you came to me)
One last shot I can try to do, out of desperation
Send an airline ticket to your home
(To your home to your mama and papa)
But you probably won't show, waiting at JFK with little hope
(Now you know it)

(You know I try)
You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired)
Keep tryin'

Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But, you just keep sleeping, keep sleeping

Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But you just keep sleeping

Try, try to stay awake
(Try to stay awake)
Try, try to stay awake
(Try to stay awake)
Try, try to stay awake
(Try to stay awake)
But you just keep sleeping

Try, try to stay awake
(Try to stay awake)
(You're not tryin')
Try, try to stay awake
(Try to stay awake)
Try, try to stay awake
(Try to stay awake)
(You're not tryin')
Or you'll just keep sleeping

(You keep sleeping)
You keep sleeping
(You're not tryin')
You're not tryin'
(Keep sleepin')
Keep sleepin'
(You're not tryin')
You're not tryin'
(Keep sleepin', keep sleepin')


10.The Man with Two Brains

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

Well, then the man with two brains says

'Been thinkin' 'bout the conversations, our situation
My frustration, leading to your suffocation
Feel uptight and my thoughts deranged and insane
Like the man with two brains'

So, I forgot the neurotic, got into the psychotic
All those words haven't heard, you're kind of erotic
I got no guilt, got no mind, got no reason, got no time
I'm high on the sly

(It will be ok)
Well I don't know about that
(It's the American way)
Yeah, maybe that's where it's at
(You were raised that way)
The Europeans say
(The man with two brains)

Well then the man with two brains says, 'That it's a science
I've got one for my actions, one's for my conscience
Yeah, one's for the sex and the other's for the consequence'
Then the girl with one brain says, 'You make no sense
You make no sense'

Then, the anti-cruise takes form in the frame of a young woman
From a passionate scene to a sterile queen
I put a bottle of Ed's Red in my head, a little dead
And surprised when you said

(It will be ok)
Well I don't know about that
(It's the American way)
Yeah, maybe that's where it's at
(You were raised that way)
The Europeans say
(The man with two brains)

Well then the man with two brains says that it's a science
I've got one for my actions, one's for my conscience
Yeah, one's for the sex and the other's for the consequence
Then the girl with one brain says, 'You make no sense
You make no sense'

(It's cool, it's cool)
Well then girl with one brain says, 'It's not a science
You can't have one for your actions and one for the consequence
It's all about sex, so what's the difference?'
Then, the man with two brains says, 'You make no sense'
(You make no sense, you make no sense)
(No sense)

The Europeans say
(It will be ok)
Kick back and relax
(The man with two brains)
Roll on the flow track
(It will be ok)
The Europeans say
(The man with two brains is all about sex)


11.Must Be Wrong

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

Nice surprise I haven't seen you in so long
We laugh and you smile and I stroke your hair
Drive me home in the same old car, the 4th of July
What am I, oh, what am I doing here?

Come on in, yeah, stay for a while
Use my phone to check your calls and hang around
As you see I am doing alright so let's step outside
And make out on the 4th of July, yeah

I don't know much about the strange commitment world
I'm never in one space too long
Sometimes, I feel that we could make this last
I must be wrong

Once again hangin' out with all your friends
It's not my scene, no I'm not green, I'm only here for your
company
Guys hangin' around trying to get down
Ain't got no time or desire to compete with them and

I don't know much about the strange commitment world
I'm never in one space too long
Sometimes I feel that we could make this last
I must be wrong, it must be

I don't know much about the strange commitment world
I never stay in one space too long
And now I feel make this last
This must be wrong

This must be wrong
This must be wrong
This must be wrong


12.Jumping Around

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

Sometimes, I feel like being young
Jumpin' around, jumpin' around
There can be a comfort in being loud
Marshall stack loud

Acting 'bout half my age
Everything's come a couple years late
I guess it's bad to complain
When everything's good, everything's great

Jump up, jump down, jump down
Tired of jumping around, jumping around
Jump

Today I realized I'm not so young
Jumping around, jumping around
With the French star in front of me
So educated and well respected

It can be embarrassing when you're this loud
So marshall stack loud
She covers her ears and I'm here
I'm a fool and not a bit proud

Jump up, jump down, jump down
Tired of jumping around, jumping around

How am I to find someone to settle down with?
Settle down
What choices do I have?
I'm not educated and I'm not respected

And what am I to do?
As the train leaves for Kensal Green
I can't come back to you
So, I send this music box to sleep to

Jump up, jump down, jump down
Tired of, tired of jumping around, jumping around
Jump up, jump down, jump down
Tired of, tired of jumping around, jumping around
Jump up

Short days and long nights
Short days and long nights
Seven more minutes please
Seven more minutes
Seven more minutes please
Seven more minutes

Seven more minutes please
Seven more minutes
Seven more minutes please
Seven more minutes

14.Waiting

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

I'm waiting for something to come through
I'm hoping I can write a real sweet tune
No passion no warmth in these words
I'm trying but have nothing to offer

I'm waiting with nothing to do
I'm waiting, just waiting on you

Sadly just like before
It's lifeless and soulless and yeah, I fall way short
No beauty, no sweet melody
No four part barbershop harmony

I'm waiting with nothing to do
I'm waiting, just waiting on you

I'm waiting on you, I'm waiting on you, you

I'm waiting with nothing to do
I'm waiting, just waiting on you

Waiting on you, ooh ooh ooh
Waiting on you, ooh ooh ooh
Waiting on you, ooh ooh ooh

Waiting on you, ooh ooh ooh
Waiting on you, ooh ooh ooh
Waiting on you, ooh ooh ooh


15.Insomnia

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

Well it's five in the morning and I'm pacing down Harrow Road
(Harrow Road, Harrow Road)
And melatonin don't help no matter the dose
(The dose, the dose)
And insomnia it won't let me go, insomnia won't let me go
(Won't let me go)

Why do I have to write about you? I don't know
And why did I come to London? I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know)

Seven in the morning and I'm pacing down Rainham Road
(Rainham Road, Rainham Road)
Yeah, everyone sleeping while I'm creeping, I'm in a deep hole
The pharmacy is low, studio is closed and insomnia won't let me
go
(Won't let me go)

Why do I have to write about you? I don't know
Why did I come to London? I don't know

Yeah why do I have to write about you? I don't know
I'm unprepared and I'm getting nowhere and everybody knows
That insomnia it won't let me go, insomnia won't let me go
(Won't let me go)
Go home
(Won't let me go)
Go home


16.Naive

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

Is this it? Are we done?
Must we carry on?
Like such fools, shameless fools
Is it finally over?

Why when I call
Must it take so long?
Many weeks, sometimes months
For you to call me back?

You're so naive
Feel so naive
You're so naive
Feel so naive

My friends were right
Should have played it smooth
Should have tried to lie
Instead of being true

You're so naive
Feel so naive
You're so naive
Feel so naive

I feel so alone inside
As I rest my head to go to sleep

One more time
Though I know it's wrong
Maybe you change your mind
And everything is fine

You're so naive
Feel so naive
You're so naive
Feel so naive


17.Move On

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

Let's get up and leave this town
I just want to go right now
Once we get out of here
No one will notice that we disappeared

So what do you say we go right now?
Get away from everyone that hangs around
They seem so insincere
So why don't we just leave them here

And move on
(Move on)
Move on
(Move on)

We'll find some new place nice
Some other city or the countryside
(Countryside)
We'll make new friends in time
We'll pack up and say goodbye

And move on
(Move on)
Move on
(Move on)
Move on

It's been six long years
Six years of hanging about without a care
It don't matter where we go
Anywhere is better I know

So move on
(Move on)
Move on
(Move on)

Move on
(Move on)
Move on
(Move on)

Come on, let's get away
So far away
Come on, let's run away, run away
Run away today

And move on
(Move on)
Move on
(Move on)

Move on
(Move on)
Move, move on

Move, move on
Move, move on

In a dark place
Under assumed name through Catalonia

Lost and rollin'
Driftin' loosely, no occupation
Barcelona
The last angel, Barcelona


20.Please Let That Be You

Lyricist:Matt Sharp

Lost out in the machinery
Lifeless, slow, and cold

Alone at home, alone tonight
Walk around the complex
No visitors, no oxygen
Just me, no movement

Please let that be you
Knocking on my door, so loud just like you do
Bring in a message or two
You know you are my fate and I love you

Empty, every thing's technical
Sterile and endless
Inside, a malfunction
Observe and obsess

Please let that be you
Ringing my phone right now, like I wish you would do
Call in with some good news
You know you are my fate and I love you

You are my fate and I love you
Stand by my side, always be true
You are my fate and I love you
I'll raise my right hand and swear it's true

You are my fate
You are my fate
You are my fate
You are my fate

Please let that be you
Singing my song so nice sounding like you do
Just humming along to your tune
You know you are my fate and I love you


21.My Summer Girl

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp, Cheriellyn Westrich

My summer girl
She was my world
He's got her now
Charmed her somehow

I know I'm not your type
I know I'm not your type
I know I'm not your type
I'll never be your type

All summer long
Feelings grew strong
All through that time
I was not blind

And I know I'm not your type
I know I'm not your type
I know I'm not your type
I'll never be your type

My summer girl
My summer girl
My summer girl
My summer girl

I know I'm not your type
I know I'm not your type
I know I'm not your type
I'll never be your type

I'll never be your type
I'll never be your type
I'll never be your type
I'll never be your type


22.Big Daddy C.

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

Here comes Big Daddy C.
And his cronies
New York City
All the pop star baloney
(Hey, ho, hey, ho)

Attention, top models
And Brits to the restroom
Three, four to a stall
Sucking like a vacuum
(Hey, ho, hey, ho)

Hey, here comes Big Daddy C.
With his friends of P.
Slides in the room indiscreet
Blows out so casually
Hey, where's Big Daddy C.?
Where's the Big Daddy?
Who the hell is P. anyway?

Oh, lookin' for Hey Zeus
Out on a mission
Treasure maps, secret knocks
Use your discretion
(Hey, ho, hey, ho)

It's up and at 'em
Time for one more disco
Got cha Roebucks on
And you're incognito
(Hey, ho, hey, ho)

Hey, here comes Big Daddy C.
With his friends of P.
Slides in the room indiscreet
Blows out so casually
Hey, where's Big Daddy C.?
Where's the Big Daddy?

Faster, faster, faster than you
Ever wanted to go
(You ever wanted to go)
Faster, faster, faster than you
Ever needed to know
(You ever needed to know)

Faster, faster, faster than you
Ever wanted to go
(You ever wanted to go)
Faster, faster, faster than you
Ever needed to know
(You ever needed to know)

Hey, ho, hey, ho
Hey, here comes Big Daddy C.
With his friends of P.
Slides in the room indiscreet
Blows out so casually
Hey, where's Big Daddy C.?
Where's the Big Daddy C.?

23.'Hello, Hello'

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

Hello, hello, hello, hello
You know it's good to see you here again
To be back with my friends
Where the work's not hard
And the century is closing down
I'm not sure what we've got
We really don't need a lot
Hello, hello

I made a lot of mistakes
That bear a heavy, heavy weight that I'm ashamed of
And I need to get through to something new
Where I'm not alone
Where everybody knows you, everybody loves you
Everybody says this is your home

Hello, hello, hello, hello
You know it's good to see you here again
To be back with my friends
Where the work's not hard
And the century is closing down
I'm not sure what we've got
We really don't need a lot
Hello, hello

Keep coming back to forget
To forget about the things I've done
It's the one place nobody cares
I know where I can go
Where everybody knows you, everybody loves you
Everybody says this is your home

Hello, hello, hello, hello
You know it's good to see you here again
To be back with my friends
Where the work's not hard
And the century is closing down
I'm not sure what we've got
We really don't need a lot
Hello, hello

Trying to shake all responsibility
Repeating that it don't mean much to me
Staying out of my head all day
Don't want to go back
And don't want to have to face it all
All those disappointments that I've made
Hello

Don't let me go, hello, hello, hello
You know it's good to see you here again
To be back with my friends
Don't let me go, hello, hello, hello
You know I wanna stay here with my friends
Stay here 'til the end, don't let me go

Don't let me go, hello, hello
Don't let me go, hello
The century is closing down, the century is closing down
The century is closing down, the century is closing down
Hello


24.She Says It's Alright

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

Return to the city, lookin' for a friend
She shouldn't be too hard to find
There's only one or two places she could be
Especially this time of night

I didn't tell her I'm in town or I'd be coming 'round
I'm steppin' into her work
She greets me casually, yeah hands me a drink
I wait 'til six in the morning for her

She says it's alright
That you haven't written or been here for a while
(I've been here for a while)
Just grab your things and come on over
Stay with me at my house
(Stay with me)
She says it's alright, yeah

It's half past four, the afternoon
Oh we wake up
There's no phones to disturb us, lazing around
Isolated from all of the fuss

She smokes a couple hundred cigarettes and hands me the keys
Oh while she gets ready for work
Be back at seven in the morning to let her in
That's about when she returns

She says it's alright
That you don't speak the language, I know that you barely try
(I know you barely try)
I love the Smiths and my cigarettes, like you in my bed
But, I don't need you to get by
(Don't need you)
She says it's alright, yeah

I'm sure you wanted to forget about things for a while
As I see, how you see, how we see, let me see

She says it's alright
That you're going to the States and you won't be back for awhile
(I won't be back for a while)
She says, it's alright with you, it's alright without you
Either way is just fine
(Either way you're not mine)
She says it's alright
(It's alright, alright)

I don't expect to hear from you but you're welcome back anytime
Unless I find a new friend, then this will have to end
(It's alright)
We don't need no goodbyes
She says it's alright
She says alright
It's alright


25.These Days

Lyricist:Matthew Kelly Sharp

These days, I may not be so happy
After all, after all that I have gained
I still feel sad when I'm all alone

I may have felt that path decay
I may not be so swift, after all
All the chances you have given me
I just let you go

These days, I may not be so happy
After all, after all that I have gained
I still feel sad, when I'm all alone

I guess, I've been like this before
Sometimes, I can't stand up and be a man
But God, why would I lose it now
When I need my strength at hand

You know, sometimes I can be real cool
All the words just seem to flow right along
But when that girl approaches me
Well, it all goes wrong

These days, I may not be so happy
After all, after all that I have gained
I still feel sad when I'm all alone

These days, leave me hopelessly lugubrious
I wish, these days would end, oh, please end

These days, I may not be so happy
After all, after all that I have gained
I still feel sad when I'm all alone

These days, I may not be so happy
After all, after all the chances you've given me
I just let you go, let you go


26.So Soon

Lyricist:Sharp Matthew Kelly

I've thought about this one too much
I know you know
I wish you would explain to me
Why you put me through this?

So soon, so sad
I guess it was just a laugh

So serious, so sad so soon
I just left, I left your hotel
I feel like hell
For everything you put me through

So soon, so sad
I guess it was just a laugh
I know I crowded you
Made you so uncomfortable
I wish I had control
And started out more casual

So soon, so sad
I guess it was just a laugh
I guess it was just a laugh
