Gun in the apt.

Is it as loaded as it is wrong?
How can just one thing hold so much wrong?
It’s a gun in the apartment and it’s pointed my way.
How fast can I take back the things I just said?
Our friends don’t drop by unannounced anymore and when we invite ‘em, they keep by the door. There’s a gun in the apartment and they don’t know what it means. But take one look at that shotgun and it’s exactly as it seems.
Why must we hurt so the ones that we love?
This place is too small for both a hawk and a dove.
I have no weapons. I have no more desire.
There’s a gun in the apartment. One more way to die.

With a catch in my throat and a rubber in my pocket I reach for the door and try to unlock it but it will not yield, it will not open up.
With a catch in your throat, around your neck’s a locket, it’s got a picture of your mom but she’s not here to stop it – this masquerade, as we pro-create.
We’re ing, ing, it’s another song about ing.
Ing, ing, ing, it’s a Big Black song about ing.
Another night like this and I’ll take this guitar and hock it.
Go down to the station and buy a ticket for a rocket and fly away, try not to explode.
I don’t know where it is why don’t you help me find it? We can go out in the woods but it makes you sad. I forgot, it makes you sad.

Where will you go?
Where will you be tomorrow?
If I don't see you, is it…
Or did you borrow
Some cigarettes…
It's strange you know, I've never thought a stranger thought than
Don't you know what to say?
A reverie, a thesaurus and a two-bit poet.
Well, if you don't what it means I guess you wrote it.
So listen up, open your eyes,
Button your lip, don't act surprised.
Just walk over me, don't walk over me, don't walk over me.
Don't you know what to say?
Don't you know?

Now I’m not asking you for much
Just a little bit of time
I’m not asking for too much
Won’t you give me some peace of mind
Bm D
Say that you won’t go away
Bm D
Won’t you listen to what i say
Now i know that all you want is to get out of this town
When it seems everything’s gone wrong, won’t you let me hang around
Bm D
Let me be right there for you
Bm D
You know that’s all i want to do
A E D (D) A
Don’t be afraid to count on me again
Sometimes it hard enough to stay
When you want to be on your own
Sometimes it’s easier just to leave
Than it is to get along
But it’s okay to lean on me
I’ll be right there for you, you see
A E D (D) A
Don’t be afraid to count on me again
D A E A E (A) E
Count on me this time
Cause i’ll be holding on your line
Solo over verse
Now i know that all you want
Is to get out of this town
When it seems everything’s gone wrong
Won’t you let me hang around
Let me be right there for you
You know it’s all i want to do
Don’t be afraid To count on me again (4x)

Don’t be afraid To count on me again (1x)

I am not touched. I am not moved.
I’ve played many a thing, but never a fool.
It was never a thing I wanted to understand,
and I can’t call him boy but I won’t call him a man.
It’s an image I can’t strike from my mind.
It’s not like I held your hand to my backside.
And I’m not afraid to talk We will not talk
And I’m not afraid to move We will not move
And I’m not afraid to push We will not push
And I’m not afraid to stand up to you
We all have songs for Anita to sing
so stand in line with the gifts that you bring.
And if you bring guns, please understand
well some say she was lying but at least she’s not a man.

Mirror (Fred’s New Wave Song)
E A F#m
So it seems the time has come again
I haven't seen it since I can't remember when
You said one word; I wrote the book
Sometimes the smallest mistakes can be mistook
Riff: F#m A E
E A F#m
You haven't talked to me since I became your friend
Just shows what I get for listening
I'm not that blind - I see what I don't hear
In days like this there's just no time for fear
Riff: F#m A E (stop)
E A F#m
So if it seems we're talking...backwards
Well hey, isn't that just life?
I'm not that young, you're not that old anymore
There's too much left for us not to explore
Riff: F#m A E (stop)
G D
Take a look, take a swim
G D A
Can't you see I could be her or be him
G D
Take a breath, take a chance...
G A
Can't you? Can't you?
Solo: F#m A E
E A F#m
And in the end we will meet again as friends
That's right...we'll meet again!
My heart is strange, my head is full of memories
Of watching you live your life - what a tease!

I am scrambled. I am high.
Take a big bite of the lord above and just grow up.
I am dazzled. I am drunk.
Try and catch the tail of a big white whale and sail away.
Would you look for me?
I am drifting. I am gone.
Like a satellite, I just might disappear.
Would you look for me?

We're Just Different
05:00

Once there was a time, when we first met
When things we could not abide, we could easily forgive
But now I find, I just can't look away
It seems that we don't agree, on some things that can't be changed
why did we have to fall in love
why is it love is not enough
Now I don't want to say
what I realize is we're both headed different ways
We're Just Different, in the way we see the world
and the time has come, to face up to what we know
some things can't be changed, though we try with all our heart
We're Just Different, guess its time for us to part
why did we have to fall in love
why is it love is not enough
now I lie awake at night
wishing we could find a way to make things right
We're Just Different,and it’s time we understand
We're Just Different, and it’s time we face the fact
We're Just Different, though we try with all our hearts
We're Just Different, now its time for us to part
We're Just Different, now there's nothing left to say
We're Just Different, there can be no other way
We're Just Different, now there's nothing left to do
We're Just Different, but I'll always care for you

Yeah, we will remember you and we'll talk about the crazy things you used to do
cuz you used to play guitar now you're up there with the stars
A promise seems to be the blame
you shoulda held the candle and not the flame
didn't want to see you drive through that wall
we hope you're not feeling any pain at all

WHAT CAN I DO to get you to believe the way that I do
WHAT CAN I SAY to get you to agree to meet me halfway
It’s alright, it’s okay that you never see things my way
It’s alright, so you say. It’s never gonna be that way
WHAT DO I DO whenever I can’t get you out of my mind
WHAT DID YOU SAY that makes me think about you all the time
It’s never gonna be that way
(it’s okay, it’s alright)
