Can't Do Nothing

I know not everybody know it
Not everybody shows it
Can you tell me why I feel like a joke
I jump high on command
And I don’t seem to understand
Why you walk out on me and I pick up the pieces
I can’t do nothing
I can’t do anything right
I don’t know how much you care
And I don’t know if you’re aware
Of everything that you know
Around and round, round we go
Cigarette burnt to the end
And I don’t seem to comprehend
Why you walk out on me and I pick up the pieces
I can’t do nothing
I can’t do anything right
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I can’t do nothing
I can’t do anything right
Right
Right

Something To Do
02:06

I’m not always entertainment
I’m not always on your mind
And I’m falling down the spiral
You’re not listening half the time
I’m trying
I’m changing
I’m tuning into your dial
And I swear that one day I’ll do my best to keep you occupied
But I was just something
Something to do
I was just something
To pass the time
I was just something
Something to do
I was just something
To pass the time
Always in the middle
And I’m always in my prime
But your friends and your disciples
They don’t listen to me half the time
I’m trying
I’m changing
I’m tuning into your dial
And I swear that one day I’ll do my best to keep you occupied
But I was just something
Something to do
I was just something
To pass the time
I was just something
Something to do
I was just something
To pass the time
I was just something
And I was just something
I was just something
And I was just something
Something to do

With all of my time
With all that I do
I don’t know about you
I lose myself when I lose control
And I don’t know about you
But I’m not myself when I look in your eyes
And this may come as a surprise
But I can’t seem to help myself
I can’t seem to help myself or you
I can’t seem to help myself or you
With all of your time
With all that you do
I still don’t know about you
Out of my shell and doing so well
I don’t know about you
But I’m not myself when I look in your eyes
And this may come as a surprise
But I can’t seem to help myself
I can’t seem to help myself or you
I can’t seem to help myself or you
I can’t seem to help myself or you
I can’t seem to help myself or you
I can’t seem to help myself or you
I can’t seem to help myself or you

One Way Road
01:53
|

|
Keep the door open
And always in view
I watch it fall down as the sun comes streaming through
And I take all I can get
As I watch the sunrise set
Down on the city where we come from
In a one way road with you
A one way road with you
A one way road with you
Stop right now if you don’t think like I do
I’m up all night and wondering if you do
And if your mind is set
Well I hope you won’t regret
Leaving the city where we belong
In a one way road with you
A one way road with you
A one way road with you
A one way road with you
A one way road with you
A one way road with you

What You Can't See
03:02
|
|||
|
I want to stay but I don’t feel right
Coz you were out of your mind
I thought I saw and I thought I heard
That you don’t like my kind
Is he worth more than what I got
Coz I don’t beg and plead
It’s moving quick and gaining speed
And that’s just what I need
Why can’t you see
That you were just like me
Why can’t you see
See that you were just like me
Got it made don’t push me round
Coz if I fall I’ll make a sound
Indecision amplified
In the corner of my eye
Why can’t you see
That you were just like me
Why can’t you see
To see that you were just like me
See that you were just like me
Why can’t you see what you can’t see
(See what you can’t see)
Why can’t you see what you can’t see
(See what you can’t see)
Why can’t you see what you can’t see
(See what you can’t see)
Why can’t you see what you can’t see
(See what you can’t see)

Broken From The Start
02:23

I said to myself
Why am I here and what do I know? Yeah
And I looked into your heart
And it was broke right from the start
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I said to myself
Why am I here and what do I know? Yeah
And I looked into your eyes
And what I saw to my surprise
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I said to myself
Why am I here and what do I know? Yeah
And I looked into your heart
And it was broke right from the start
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I'm Not There
02:04
|

|
I think I’ll walk away while the other people stare
Hiding from the rain and the minutes in the day
If I turn around then I know what I’ll see
That everybody tries, but I don’t really care
I’m not there
I’m not there
Counting down the hours and the minutes in the day
It came in on itself while the other people stray
And everybody tries while the other people stare
But everybody tries, but I don’t really care
But I’m not there
I’m not there
I’m not there
I’m not there
I’m not there
I’m not there

Act Your Age
02:26
|
|||
|
Hold me to your magnifying glass and work me out
Coz my head’s a city and you’re paving all my streets with doubt
You’ve got your mind
Set on it
You got your heart
Set on it
You got your sights
Set on it
And your thoughts
Set on it
Don’t believe a thing you’ve read
And of all the stupid things I’ve said
You should learn to act your age
You should’ve learnt to behave
Just coz something’s cheap
Doesn’t mean you always need it
Just coz something’s starving
Doesn’t mean you need to feed it
Got your heart
Set on it
You’ve got your mind
Set on it
You’ve got your sights
To set on it
And your thoughts
Set on it
Don’t believe a thing you’ve read
And of all the stupid things I’ve said
You should learn to act your age
You should’ve learnt to behave

Not Going Anywhere
02:28
|
|||
|
One day I’ll figure it out
That I just want what she’s handing out
Dive into trouble with my eyes
You’re the only one
I fall over myself
I just don’t need no help
Guiding myself through the haze of the only one
No one wants to hear about
One thing they can do without
And I’m not going anywhere
And I’m not going anywhere
I stand in hands of the summer
Because I declined the hand of another
Dive into depths
The haze of the only one
She’s right when I’m wrong
Fills in this vacant love song
Struck by the haze in the gaze of the only one
But no one wants to hear about
One thing they can do without
And I’m not going anywhere
And I’m not going anywhere
And I’m not going anywhere
And I’m not going anywhere

Every Minute, Every Hour
04:00
|

You can read me all the books that are on your shelf
You can even raise the dead without my help
Every minute, every hour you’re wasting time
Because useless things are made on a production line
In a panic, a panic, a panic, a panic
Sealing letters shut for no one’s eyes
You say I better watch or we’ll find out
Because all I hear is static on my phone line
In a big, in a big city
In a big, in a big city
And the kids and the cops they just don’t play fair
They all end up in stitches in palliative care
When the smokes from the stacked wind in your hair
They’re polishing the pavement, so don’t walk there
Every minute, every hour you’re wasting time
When useless things are made on a production line
When no one wants to hear the words from your mouth
You bet they’ll be watching when the birds fly south
In a big, in a big city
In a big, in a big city

You Don't Have To Lie
02:43
|

|
I won’t be the one who always knows your name
And I won’t be the one who always feels your pain
A moment in the sun in everything I say
And you will be the one who’s always in the way
But you don’t have to lie to
You don’t have to lie to me
You don’t have to lie to
You don’t have to lie to me
I can’t be the one to always know your name
And I can’t be the one who always gets the blame
And I can’t really take the shadows and the shame
Must you be the one who’s always in my way?
But you don’t have to lie to
You don’t have to lie to me
You don’t have to lie to
You don’t have to lie to me
You don’t have to lie to
You don’t have to lie to me
You don’t have to lie to
You don’t have to lie to me
You don’t have to lie to
You don’t have to lie to me
You don’t have to lie to
You don’t have to lie to me
