  1. Free Beer

  2. Haven't we met before?
    Do you come here often?
    Hey baby what's yer sign?
    Could you buy me a beer?

    Free Beer

    Hey I just got promoted!
    Hey I just got married!
    Hey I just had a kid!
    Do I get free beer?

    Free Beer... One more time!
    Free...

    Beer, I've got the time
    Free Beer, don't cost a dime
    Free Beer, night and day
    Free Beer, I'm here to stay

    Free Beer

    Of course I know the groom
    He's a good friend of mine
    Don't you believe me?
    I'm not here for the...

    Free Beer... One last time, for da beer!

    Free... Beer!

  9. Brand New Glasses

  10. Brand new glasses twelve hours old
    Brand new book you've already highlighted
    You jumped on it

    The bomb dropped only three days ago
    You ask me why I didn't show
    That's so low

    Brand new glasses twelve hours old
    Just another sign that you've left me
    Behind

    The boot swung only three days ago
    The way you act it doesn't show
    No one knows

    Thinking of another guy
    I don't care why you made me cry
    With that lie

    Conversation shared in the car
    The tears had me convinced I knew
    Who you are

    My life's destroyed I know it sounds lame
    But all my classes feel the same
    With no aim

    Thinking back over the days
    I never thought it was a waste until I learned of your
    shameful ways

    Brand new woman three days ago

  11. Not Again

  12. If I signed a contract with you
    What would you have me do
    If I signed a contract with you
    Would it be something I could do

    Not again

    If you paid a visit to me
    What would I expect to see
    If you paid a visit to me
    What should I propose to be

    Not again

    If you fell in love with me
    What length of time would it be
    If you fell in love with me
    Would you drive me to lunacy

    Not again
    Not again

  13. On the Surface

  14. On the surface I see you floating along
    On the surface I see you growing strong
    On the surface is where the yuppie holidaying divers stay
    So they can see all the pretty colours and still stay safe, still stay safe, still stay safe, still stay safe

    Where are you?
    Who are you?
    I’d hate you
    If I knew

    On the surface is where the scum is always floating around
    On the surface all the unicellular life can be found
    On the surface there is always a need to find something to say
    On the surface there is always a risk that you’ll be blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away

    Where are you?
    Who are you?
    I’d hate you
    If I knew

    On the surface I see you floating along
    On the surface I see you growing strong
    On the surface is where the yuppie holidaying divers stay
    So they can see all the pretty colours and still stay safe, still stay safe, still stay safe, still stay safe

  15. Piece of Pride

  16. I remember when you used to get mad
    When I used to lock the door to my room
    Can you blame me, what did you want in for?

    It’s not like you wanted to see what I had in my room
    It’s not like you wanted to know what I did in my room

    Now you tell me you don’t want me to leave

    All the things I brought and dropped at your feet
    Didn’t resemble a dead bird
    How could you miss the excitement in my eyes?

    All that I wanted was just a little piece of your time
    All that I wanted was just the little peace of your pride

    Now you tell me you can’t wait for me to leave

    Sometimes you would tell me you were so proud
    Others you couldn’t be bothered to look
    All I want to know is how you made your choice

    All that you wanted was just for me to be who I am
    All that I wanted was just for you to be proud of who I am

    Now I tell you that I can’t wait to leave

  17. That's What They Say

  18. Kick me while I’m down for a thousand hands will be offered to help me up
    What’s wrong with being crazy? Some of my best personalities are insane
    Feel no pain

    That’s what they say

    My most valuable ability is the ability to be walked on
    Living, it must be enough. Nothing is more noble than suffering
    And still caring

    That’s what I say

    Kick me while I’m down for a thousand hands will be offered to help me up
    Help me up

  23. Better Bitter

  24. I wish it were as easy as making it hard
    I wish it were as simple as taking it far

    But there’s no way that it will be better bitter

    I wish you were so hateful that I couldn’t love
    I wish you were so ugly that I’d had enough

    You’ll never be bad enough to make it better bitter

    I wish there were someone out there to make me forget
    I wish there were someone out there to kill my regret

    Until I find them I’ll be feeling better bitter
    But will they want me if they can see I’m better bitter?
