You Do
Aimee Mann
With no ride to work
And i m the one who tells you
He s another jerk
But you re the one who can succeed
You ve only got to prove your need–
And you do
You really do
The sex you re trading up for
What you hope is love
Is just another thing that
He ll be careless of
But though there are caveats galore
You ve only got to love him more–
And you do
You really do
Even when it s all too clear
You write a little note that
You leave on the bed
And spend some time dissecting
Every word he said
And if he seemed a little strange
Wellbaby–anyone can change
And you do
You do
You really do
The Fall Of The World s Own Optimist
Aimee Mann
And that surprises me
I guess i thought you were a golden idol
Cause i called you majesty
On the balustrade
You watched me hunt for tips i was obliged to pick up
From the passing trade
Heykids–look at this
It s the fall of the world s own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you ll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells i ve been treading
Couldn t spare me a beheading
And i ll know i had it coming
From a caesar who was only slumming
Heykids–look at this
It s the fall of the world s own optimist
Welli could have objections
Which you could override
But what s the point–we re only flogging the horse
When the horseman has up and died
Once i testified
And swore i d never leave a stone unturned–
I bet you re really glad that i lied
Heykids–look at this
It s the fall of the world s own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you ll have to ask politely
Cause the eggshells i ve been treading
Couldn t spare me a beheading
And i ll know i had it coming
From a caesar who was only slumming
Heykids–look at this
It s the fall of the world s own optimist
Heykids–look at this
It s the fall of the world s own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But you ll have to ask politely
Yesyou ll have to ask politely
Yesyou ll have to ask
Susan
Aimee Mann
You knew just how this thing would go
A prognosis that was hopeless
From the very first domino
I guess i see it all in hindsight
I tried to keep perspective despite
The flash of the fusethe smell of cordite
Now i m in that place again
And i know he can t come in to get me
And someday he will live to regret me
Susani can see it now
Ohsuzie–they get to me
They can really be wearying
But he threw me rope and buoy
Let me use his decoder ring
There must have been some kind of parade
We kissed for a while to see how it played
And pulled the pin on another grenade
Now i m in that place again
And i know he can t come in to get me
And someday he will live to regret me
Suziei can see it now
Ohsusanthe hope of fusion
Is that the halo will reappear
It may be pure illusion
But it s beautiful while it s here
I had some trouble with the goodbye
I checked my roman candle supply
And watched the vapor trail in the sky
But i m in that place again
And i know he can t come in to get me
And someday he will live to regret me
Susani can see it now
Satellite
Aimee Mann
And play the game of charm and strange
And satellite
And when we ve all had our fun
Deflate the stars
And put away the sun
And so we can call it a day
Cause i ll never prove that my motives were pure
So let s remove any question of cure
Cause even though you ve made it pretty obscure
Babyit s clearfrom here–
You re losing your atmosphere
From hereyou re losing it
So let s assume it was true
Cause baby can t lift up a hand to swear to you
And what s the use of defense?
The hangers-on are too far gone for evidence
And that one was lost from the first
Cause i ll never prove that my motives were pure
So let s remove any question of cure
Cause even though you ve made it pretty obscure
Babyit s clearfrom here–
You re losing your atmosphere
From hereyou re losing it
So have it your way
Whatever makes the best resume
Whatever you can throw in
Washrinse and spin til it s
Spun away–okay
But i won t be sticking around
Cause i ll never prove that my motives were pure
So let s remove any question of cure
Cause even though you ve made it pretty obscure
Babyit s clearfrom here–
You re losing your atmosphere
From hereyou re losing it
Red Vines
Aimee Mann
Just read the dialogue balloon
Everyone loves you–
Why should they not?
And i m the only one who knows
That disneyland s about to close
I don t suppose you d give it a shot
Knowing all that you ve got
Are cigarettes and red vines
Just close your eyes causebaby–
You never do know
And i ll be on the sidelines
With my hands tied
Watching the show
Wellit s always fun and games until
It s clear you haven t got the skill
In keeping the gag from going too far
So you re running round the parking lot
til every lightning bug is caught
Punching some pinholes
In the lid of a jar
While we wait in the car
With cigarettes and red vines
Just close your eyes causebaby–
You never do know
And i ll be on the sidelines
With my hands tied
Watching the show
And tell mewould it kill you
Would it really spoil everything
If you didn t blame yourself
Do you know what i mean?
Cigarettes and red vines
Just close your eyes cause
Baby–
You never do know
And i ll be on the sidelines
With my hands tied
Watching the show
Watching the show
Nothing Is Good Enough
Aimee Mann
But i ll make it brief
What was started out with such excitement
Now i d gladly end end with relief
In what now has become a familiar motif:
That nothing is good enough
For people like you
Who have to have someone take the fall
And something to sabotage–
Determined to lose it all
Critics at their worst could never criticize
The way that you do
Nothere s no one elsei find
To undermine or dash a hope
Quite like you
And you do it so casuallytoo
Cause nothing is good enough
For people like you
Who have to have someone take the fall
And something to sabotage–
Determined to lose it all
Ladies and gentlemen–
Here s exhibit a
Didn t i try again?
And did the effort pay?
Wouldn t a smarter man
Simply walk away?
It doesn t really help that you can never say
What you re looking for
But you ll know it when you hear it
Know it when you see it walk through the door
So you say–
So you ve said many times before
But nothing is good enough
For people like you
Who have to have someone take the fall
And something to sabotage–
Determined to lose it all
Just Like Anyone
Aimee Mann
That good a friend
But you were one of us
And i will wonder
Just like anyone
If there was something
Else i could ve done
So maybe it s true that
Your cry for help
Was ohso very faint
But still i heard
And knew something was wrong
Just nothing you could put your finger on
And i will wonder
Just like anyone
Just like anyone
It Takes All Kinds
Aimee Mann
You walked right in
Wearing hubris like a medal
You revel in
But it s me at whom you ll level
Your javelin
Wasn t that just our dear friend ron?
Throwing your weight around the sun
Happier now that you ve become
What you hated
I m surprised i even thought i
Had half a chance
I was just one in a million
Of also-rans
Who was sure to be your victim
Of circumstance
Once you were just our dear friend ron
Selling the soul you swore upon
Spreading the word that you ve become
What you hated
And if i don t understand…
Welli guess it takes all kinds
I would like to keep this vision
Of you intact–
When we d hang around and listen
To bacharach
And you loved the world you lived in
And it loved you back
Once you were just our dear friend ron
Now you look out for number one
Who would ve guessed that you d become
What you hated
And i guess it takes all kinds
How Am I Different?
Aimee Mann
I can t conceive
You re everything you re trying to make me believe
Cause this show is
Too well designed
Too well to be held with only me in mind
And how am i different?
How am i different?
How am i different?
I can t do it
So move along
Do you really want to wait until i prove you wrong?
And don t tell me–
Let me guess
I could change it all around if i would just say yes
But how am i different?
How am i different?
How am i different?
And just one question before i pack–
When you fuck it up later
Do i get my money back?
I can t do it
And as for you–
Can you in good conscience even ask me to
Cause what do you care
About the great divide
As long as you come down
On the winner s side
And how am i different?
How am i different?
How am i different?
Just one question before i pack–
When you fuck it up later
Do i get my money back?
Ghost World
Aimee Mann
My graduation speech
And with college out of reach
If i can t find a job it s down to dad
And myrtle beach
Soi m bailing this town-or
Tearing it down-or
Probably more like
Hanging around
Hanging around
Everyone i know is acting weird
Or way too cool
They hang out by the pool
So i just read a lot and ride my bike
Around the school
cause i m bailing this town-or
Tearing it down-or
Probably more like
Hanging around
Hanging around
And all that i need now
Is someone with the brains
And the know-how
To tell me what i want…
Anyhow
12th of junea gibbous moon
Was this the longest day?
I ll walk down to the bay
And jump off of the dock and watch
The summer waste away
Theni m bailing this town-or
Tearing it down-or
Probably more like
Hanging around
Hanging around
Just hanging around
So tell me what i want
Driving Sideways
Aimee Mann
You were taken by a pro
I know just how you feel
She talked a perfect game
Deflecting all the blame
You took the jack
And changed the flat
And got behind the wheel–
Now you re
Driving sideways
Taken in by the scenery
As you re propelled along
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong
And you will say
That you re making headway
And put it in overdrive
But you re mistaking speed
For getting what you need
And never even noticing
You never do arrive
Cause you re
Driving sideways
If you roll down the you ll see
You re where you don t belong
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong
And you re powered by
The hopeful lie
That it s just around the bend
And when thisby default
Comes screeching to a halt
Let s hope that you
Know what to do
To start it up again
Driving sideways
Hitting scan on the radio
So she can sing along
And she ll sit
Thinking you re going to handle it
Until she s proven wrong
Until she s proven wrong
Until you prove her wrong
Deathly
Aimee Mann
Would you object to
Never seeing each other again
Cause i can t afford to
Climb aboard you
No one s got that much ego to spend
So don t work your stuff
Because i ve got troubles enough
Nodon t pick on me
When one act of kindness could be
Deathly
Deathly
Definitely
Cause i m just a problem
For you to solve and
Watch dissolve in the heat of your charm
But what will you do when
You run it through and
You can t get me back on the farm
So don t work your stuff
Because i ve got troubles enough
Nodon t pick on me
When one act of kindness could be
Deathly
Deathly
Definitely
You re on your honor
Cause i m a goner
And you haven t even begun
So do me a favor
If i should waver
Be my savior
And get out the gun
Just don t work your stuff
Because i ve got troubles enough
Nodon t pick on me
When one act of kindness could be
Deathly
Deathly
Definitely
Calling It Quits
Aimee Mann
Shake his hand and he ll twist your arm
With monopoly money
We ll be buying the funny farm
So i ll do flips
And get paid in chips
From a diamond as big as the ritz–
Then i m calling it quits
Eyes the color of candy
Lies to cover the handicap
Though your slippers are ruby
You ll be led to the booby trap
And there s no prize
Just a smaller size
So i m wearing the shoe til it fits–
Then i m calling it quits
Now he s numbering himself among the masterminds
Cause he s hit upon the leverage of valentines
Lifting dialogue from judy garland storylines
Where get-tough girls turn into goldmines
But ohthose polaroid babies
Taking chances with rabies
Happy to tear me to bits–
Welli m calling it quits
Yesi m calling it quits.
Fragezeichen Mag Ich Nicht
Agnetha Faltskog
Fragezeichen mag ich nicht
Wenn es um Liebe geht
Sag mir lieber ins Gesicht
Wie es um uns steht.
Fragezeichen tun nicht gut
Sag es klipp und klar
Nimm dein Herz und habe Mut
Sonst gibt es Gefahr.
Im selben Bootda sitzen wir
Und segeln heiter durch die Welt
Den selben Weinden trinken wir
Und teilen uns das letzte Geld.
Warum sagt jeder Mann
Immer dann wenn er kann
Worte ohne Sinn?
Sag wof?r das ist.
Fragezeichen mag ich nicht
Wenn es um Liebe geht
Sag mir lieber ins Gesicht
Wie es um uns steht.
Fragezeichen tun nicht gut
Sag es klipp und klar
Nimm dein Herz und habe Mut
Sonst gibt es Gefahr.
