FAMOUS LYRICS OF THE STROKES . . .
" WHAT EVER HAPPENED? "
I wanna be forgotten
And I don't wanna be reminded
He said, "please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
I wanna be beside her
She wanna be admired
He said, "please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
Oh dear, is it really all true?
Did they offend us yet? They wanted to sound new
Topping ideas for countdown shows
Who's culture is this and does anybody know?
I wait and tell myself life ain't chess
But no one comes in, and yes, you're alone
You don't miss me, I know
On attendency a-what did you write?
I come together in the middle of the night
Oh, that's an ending that I can write
Cause I've got you to let me down
I wanna be forgotten
And I don't wanna be reminded
He said, "please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
I wanna be beside her
She wanna be admired
I said, "please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet " REPTILIA "
We seemed impressed by the way you came in
Tell us a story, I know you're not boring
I was afraid that you would not insist
You sound so sleepy
Just take this, now leave me
I said, "please don't slow me down"
"Am I going too fast?"
You're in a strange part of our town
Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough
Our lives have changed
And the lanes have ran me off the road
The wait is over, I'm now taking over
You're no longer laughing
Now I'm not driving fast enough
Now every time that I look at myself
I thought I told you this world is not for you
The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
You sound so angry
Just calm down, you found me
I said, "please don't slow me down"
"Am I going too fast?"
You're in a strange part of our town
Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough
Our lives have changed
And the lanes have ran me off the road
The wait is over, I'm now taking over
You're no longer laughing
Now I'm not driving fast enough " AUTOMATIC STOP "
So many fish there in the sea
I wanted you, you wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast
Didn't understand what it's to see
Yeah, then I got a different view
Yes, you, no
Wait, I'm not gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend, I never was
I said wait, I'm not gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend, I never was
So many fish there in the sea
She wanted him, he wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast
Yeah, I know you want it
But this is too important
I know I got a different view
Yes, you
Why can't you wait
I'm not gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend, I never was
I said wait, I'm not gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend, I never was " 12:51"
Talk to me, now I'm older
Your friend told you cause I told her
Friday nights have been lonely
Change your plans and inform me
We could go and get forties
Fuck going to that party
Oh really, their folks are away now?
Alright, lets go you convinced me
12:51 is the time my voice found the words I sought
This is the stage I want
The moon is shining out for us
A-we were tense for sure but we was confident
Kiss me now that I'm older
I won't try to control you
Friday nights have been lonely
Take it slow but don't warn me
We go out and get forties
Instead of going to some party
Oh really, their folks are away now?
Alright, I'm coming, I'll be the date " YOU TALK WAY TOO MUCH"
??????? all the time
I said it's my fault, it's my fault
Can't it wait? I got decisions
It won't stop, I can't stop
Give me some time
I just need a little time
Give me some time
I just need a little time
Give me some time
I just need a little time
Give me some time
I just need a little time
You talk way too much
You talk way too much
It's only the end
It's only the end, hey
We don't get the news
That says why not, why not
Forget what you heard
Cause it won't stop, it won't stop
Give them some time
They just need a little time
Give them some time
They just need a little time
Give them some time
They just need a little time
Give them some time
They just need a little time
You talk way too much
You talk way too much
It's only the end
It's only the end as you know it
You're not supposed to say that
You talk way too much
Is this how it is?
Is this how it is? Hey "BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE"
Watched her as she wiped her eyes
You don't make me sorry
Now I know a-that you never listen, listen
Thinking about that high school dance
Worrying about the finals
Yes, I know you're feeling lonely
A-lonely, so lonely
Never needed anybody
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody
I never needed nobody
Don't worry about it honey
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody
You won't change now, in my room
Don't stay that long with me, I said I was fine
This is the second time we lost the war
She'd be in the kitchen
I would start the fire
But those days are gone
(b)ut you know I can't give up, give up
He asked, "if I may ask why"
"When will they get tired?"
We stayed up all night trying, trying
Never needed anybody
I never needed nobody
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody
Don't worry about it honey
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody
You won't change now, in my room
Don't stay that long with me, I said I was fine
The second time we lost the war "MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM"
When they say promises they mean promises
They say, "that's ok, long as we can celebrate"
Oh, you see, my uncle would say
Things would change when he's dead
Meet me in the bathroom
That's what she said
I don't mind, it's true
Hey
Never was on time
Yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago
And darling I don't mind
Yeah, we were just two friends in lust
A-baby, that just don't mean much
A-yeah, you trained me not to love
After you showed me what it was
Now she's staring wide
I can't close her eyes
Say what? Anywhere is fine
Just don't waste my time
Oh, you see, my uncle would say
Things the same when she's dead
Meet me in the bathroom
That's what she said
I don't mind, it's true
Never was on time
Yes, I once was mine
But that that was long ago
And darling I don't mind
Yeah, it was just two folks in lust
A-baby, that just don't mean much
A-yeah, you trained me not to love
After you taught me what it was "UNDER CONTROL"
I don't wanna waste your time
I don't wanna waste your time
I just wanna say, I've got to say
We were good, darling
We don't have no control
We're under control
I don't wanna do it your way
I don't wanna do it your way
I don't wanna give it to you your way
I don't want to, no
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't wanna change the world
I just wanna watch it go by
I just wanna watch you go by
We were young, darling
We don't have no control
We're out of control
I don't wanna do it your way
I don't wanna do it your way
I don't wanna give it to you your way
I don't want to, no
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't wanna waste your time
I just wanna know you're alright
I've got to know you're alright
You are young, darling, for now
But not for long, under control "THE END HAS NO END"
One by one, ticking time bombs won
It's not the secrets of the government that's keeping you dumb
Well, it's the other way around
Wait, what's that sound?
One by one, baby, here they come
He wants it easy, he want it relaxed
Said, "I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that"
Two steps forward and three steps back, alright
Won't you take a walk outside? Oh no
Can't you find some other guy? Oh no
1-9-6-9 what's that sound? Oh no
Keeping down the underground, oh no
The end has no end - x4
He want it easy, he want it relaxed
Said, "I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that"
He wants a-two steps forward and three steps back, it won't be easy
Won't you take a walk outside? Oh no
Can't you find another guy? Oh no
1-9-6-3 what's that sound? Oh no
Keeping down the underground, oh no
The end has no end - x8 "THE WAY IT IS"
She was still sleeping
A problem will stay one more day
Said she's not sorry
The wind blows her way
Accidents happen
There's one planned today
Oh, you see
I wish it were not true but that's the way it is
It's not your fault, that's the way it is
I'm sick of you and that's the way it is
And will always be
Wednesday is over, it's over again
Send my goodbyes to the life we won't spend together
I wish it were not true but that's the way it is
It's not your fault, that's the way it is
I'm sick of you and that's the way it is
Oh, but that's not your problem
That's not a problem
That's not my problem
That's not your problem "I CAN'T WIN"
That was you up on the mountain
All alone and no surrounding
Working on, they got you breaking
Laughing at the life you're wasting
One, two, all tries won't do it
You do it all your life and you never get through it
Everything you'd like to say
Get a raise in just one day
Good try, we don't like it
Good try, we won't take that shit
Oh, I can't win
(things in a bar, a lot of people do / danger, our lot of people do)
When no one wants to talk to you
Failing can be quite a breeze
You told me that these girls were easy
I'm happy that you said you knew me
Felt unlucky when you found me
Some times come up in to end it
Yes, I'll take it
Wait now, by the sidewalk
Hold on, yes, I'll be right back
Oh, I can't win
Yeah, I'll wait for something
Cool it, we won't take that shit
Good try, we don't like it
Oh Lord, yes, I'll be right back
