Lyrics:

Today is the Day

I've figured out what you've done to my head
And sometimes I think you'd be better off so dead
Even your truths, they just seem like a lie
I'd have to say that you're jaded, faded, hated
so out of love

I know what you want
I can give it to you
I know what you need
And I can see right through you
Tell me what you want
I will give it to ya, screw ya, through ya

Today is the day - Today is the day for us
Today is the day - Today is the day for love

We've got this dream and we're never letting go
(never letting go)
If no one believes it's still on with the show
(on with the show)
We've been so knocked down - It's a time for standing up
(time for standing up)
No longer feeling like we're hated, fated, by the jaded & faded out

I know what you want
I can give it to you
I know what you need
And I can see right through you
Tell me what you want
I will give it to ya, screw ya, through ya

Chorus

Heather

Heather's getting married in the morning
I'm so happy
Heather's getting married, fair warning
I'm so happy

She wants me to know how good he is for her
She wants me to know he really cares
She wants me to know how happy I can be
She wants me to know that she's gone

Heather's getting married, she's so very
I'm so happy
Heather's getting married, don't know where
She said she's happy

She wants me to know how good he is for her
She wants me to know he really cares
She wants me to know how happy I can be
She wants me to know that she's gone

I still believe you (oh no)
I still believe you (oh no)
I still believe you (oh no)
I still believe you (oh no)

Solo Fox

I still believe you (oh no)
I still believe you (oh no)
I still believe you (oh no)
I still believe you (oh no)

Heather's getting married in the morning I'm so happy

No Good Without You

I'm the pride inside the anger
The doubt without the trace
The blood inside the bleeding heart
The pale without the face
I'm everything to everyone
Far less to even more
And if I thought you needed me
I wouldn't touch the floor

I got both feet on the ground but I can't move
Not until I found my way to you
I'm no good, no good without you
I'm no good, no good -- I'm no good without you

I got half a mind to love you
And the other half is gone
I know you'll never change your mind
And I can't wait that long
I never should have turned the key
and found my paradise
I never should have seen your face
or fall into your eyes

Chorus

I'm no good when I'm alone
I'm no good on the telephone
I'm no good if you say we're through
I'm no good without you.

Solo Johnny and Fox unison

Chorus

I'm no good when I'm alone
I'm no good on the telephone
I'm no good if you say we're through
And I'm no good when I"m holdin' you
I'm no good when I call you name
No good if you don't feel the same
Yeah, I'm no good for you know who
I'm no good without you.

Gimme Gimme

Jealous of your...pretty face
envious - thinkin'...I'm such a waste
Friends like these well - who needs enemies

Throwin' stones and...breakin' bones
Run and hide in...stained glass homes
With friends like these - well who needs enemies

All through the night
she holds me tight
All through the night...she says

Gimme Gimme Gimme all your love
OH YEAH
Got-ta, Gimme Gimme all your love
ALL RIGHT
It feels right so gimme all your love tonight

She's the one that...makes me smile
There's no doubt she...drives me wild
With girls like her - well who needs enemies

All through the night
I hold her tight
All through the night...I say

Chorus

Time after time
it's such a crime
how they feel
'bout our love

Day after Day
I've just got to say
You're Mine, You're Mine, All Mine

OH YEAH
ALL RIGHT

All through the night
She holds me tight
All through the night...she says

Chorus

January Fool

You're not the girl I knew an hour ago
You can't compare, you can't compare
You're not the world I want to turn around
But I don't care, no, I don't care

Now I'm the January Fool
Now I don't know what to do... oh no.

I don't believe you
I don't know what it is you're hiding for, hiding for.
I don't need you
I'm not afraid of losing anymore, not anymore

Chorus

You don't have to cut your hair
To run away from me
You don't have to tell me who it is you want to be
Wanna be...

Solo Johnny

Chorus

I'm not your fool
I'm not your fool
I'm not your January Fool

Million Dollar Rock

It's a never-ending, freewheel burning million mile Crime
It's a steaming pile of joy – it's a boy doing time
You're so pretty – pretty ugly
And you've got a lot a class
You've got a feeling – a funny feeling of my boot up your ass

Want to take her home – want to be alone
But she was way out of line
With her witchy eyes and her silky thighs
She was one of a kind
She wore A Million Dollar Rock
And I was out of my mind

It's a crazy kind of crazy when I carry all the shit I get from you
It's a bratty kind of beauty – who can get away with all the things you do
You're so lucky – the one and only
A picture perfect prize
You're little game – I'm the winner and you're the one who dies

Chorus

Solo first half Johnny, second half Fox

Don't be sorry baby be real
No one gives a shit how you feel
It's coming around again
And this time it's coming for you

Chorus

Solo out Johnny

Brand New

Three hours sleep, two feet of snow
The sun was so blinding there I had to get home
I can't believe that night, I cried and held her hand
I tried to tell her everything
I only hope she understands
This might seem strange in this letter to you
TO talk about the night before I tried to get though
I called you at work
Felt like I had no choice
I felt so close to my edge
But I felt so safe when I heard your voice

SO many years, how did they all fly by
How did I ever live a day without you in life
Ten years later it all feels brand new
Now you're back in my arms
I can't believe that I'm with you
I never got over you -- I tried to forget

Sometimes I try to remember back to 1993
I loved you so much, girl, that I couldn't believe that you loved me
You came to my apartment nearly every night
I showered you with everything
Sometimes it all felt so right
We loved Annie Lennox.. Del Amitri too
I wish I could have wrote those songs
SO I could dedicate them all to you
I was so hungry then I was too blind to see
Come into my arms again and set this spirit free

Chorus

Solo Johnny

I don't think I ever told you 'bout the stranger on the plane
We traded our life stories
In so many ways we were exactly the same
He said, "there's a method to your insanity of pain
"You're supposed to be here
"And I believe you need to know that girl again
"So go on and take this anyway you like," he said
"I know you don't know me
"but you're gonna love that girl for the rest of your life."

So now you know the story we can take it all from here
It feels like everything's changing
But I know someday you'll always be near.

Chorus

I Want You

When I'm feeling lonely
Without my one and only
All I have to do
Is think of you

No other time could be better
No other reason to get sure
Make my dreams come true
And take my hand

But I'm here now
and you're there now - Honey
No one knows what to say
Communication
Dedication - Maybe
It's not love anyway
and after all we've been through
All I wanna say to you – is baby

I Want YOU - OOO - OOO
words get in the way
and my feelings are all Krinkled up
Want you so much
Girl I Love You
Need you so much
I Really Love You
I Only Want You

No bitter pill was sweeter
Out of sight and mind when I'd meet her
Only to wash away
Any happy days

I'm still feeling lonely
Lost without my one and only
All I used to do
Was just think of you

But I'm here now
and you're there now - Honey
You never knew what to say
Communication
Dedication - Maybe
It's not love anyway
And after all we've been through
All I wanna say to you – is baby

I Want YOU - OOO - OOO
words get in the way
and my feelings are all krinkled up
Want you so much
Girl I Love You
Need you so much
I Really Love You
I Only Want You

Solo

Well - I'm here now
and you're there now - Honey
You never knew what to say
Communicated
Dedicated
It was never love anyway
You couldn't set me free
You never said to me

I Want YOU - OOO - OOO
words got in your way
and your feelings were all shackled up
Wanted you so
Girl I Loved You
I Needed you so
I Really Loved You
I Used to Want You

Hooked on the Girl

Little boy, he can't tell me what he's in to
He's so stupid after everything he's been through
He can't hide it cuz he thinks he's getting better
He sold his car, man, just so he could get her
He got so broke you know he sold his Marshall stack
And all his money's on the inside track
He got so drunk he told her he'd stop
He can't quit cuz she likes it on top, yeah

He was so cool when I met him but now I don't think so
He's just lookin' for a way to make some big dough
He wrote a hit song, but now he can't record it
He said he'd be a big star but now he can't afford it
She's so different, she's not like the others
She's so groovy man, she comes in every color
Would if she could, but she don't do any favors
Check it out man, she comes in every flavor.

I know, he knows, she knows, he knows, yeah!
He's hooked on the girl
I know, he knows, she knows, he knows, yeah!
He's hooked on the girl

Givin' up, givin' out, givin' anything he can
Goin' down to get a deep, dark tan
What the hell... I'm feelin' mellow
Jesus Christ, now I wanna hear a solo

Solo Johnny

I think he's gotta go
He's gonna move to Reno
He could leave her there
What the hell does she know
He might kick her down or find dirty needle
If he could play guitar he could have been a Beatle

Chorus

So...Goodbye

Your welcome's worn
Your stay is less than planned
Why ask why?
You'll never understand

I hope someday you'll find a place
Your darkest schemes will light your space
You can break the trust without a trace

So...Goodbye
It's no good to see you
Don't know how or when
Don't wanna meet again

You packed it up
And you're on your own
How does it feel?
Now that your future's blown

You drowned the hope
In streams of you
Burned the love that pulled you through
Took and never gave
You're so untrue

So...Goodbye
It's no good to see you
Don't know how or when
Don't wanna meet again

So...Goodbye
It's no good to see you
I know for sure
We'll never meet again

Solo Fox

I won't miss you
There's no need to call
No coming back
Not even if you crawl

So…Go and live your life somewhere
With lazy days and time to spare
Drop right off the face
For all I care

Chorus
