Hooked on Phonics
03:36

Hooked on phonics was a big part of my life till
I kicked those words to the curb
Everybody told me you’ll never get a job
It’ll be a few more failures ‘fore you learn
Everybody knows all they really need is
Clothes and food
Papa told me, “Son, don’t ever stop having fun
You’re still young.”
Three more majors ‘fore I gave it up for good
Maybe I’ll get to work, maybe I should
But I know I’ll never let it go
So I’m gonna take it real slow
Everybody knows all they really need is
Clothes and food
Papa told me, “Son, don’t ever stop having fun
You’re still young.”
Why do today what can be put off till tomorrow?
Look at all the people around you
They aren’t worried at all
Now that I’m 63 years old, I didn’t take advice that I was told
I’m telling you, my son, it’s time to be bold
Don’t ever trade anything for your soul
Everybody knows all they really need is
Clothes and food
Papa told me, “Son, don’t ever stop having fun
You’re still young.”

Lucy Hampton on her wedding day
Found her place but never found her way
To make it out alive
As the hourglass slipped by
A few more minutes and she could
Slip away
Lucy Hampton
How could you know
That it was
Your time to go
And she took another breath
Singing songs of life and death
Knowing she could soon rejoice
And fade away
Lucy Hampton on her red letter day
In the town where all her friends were left to lay
Shattered from above
How could they look down with love
When all her hopes and dreams of youth
Had gone astray
Lucy Hampton
How could you know
That it was
Your time to go
And she took another breath
Singing songs of life and death
Knowing she could soon rejoice
And fade away
Lucy Hampton
How could you know
That it was
Your time to go
And she took her final breath
Sang that song of life and death
Knowing she could now rejoice
And fade away

Hey there, my buddy
Best friend of mine
See that girl sitting over there
You know she never talks to me
But today she wants to go for tea
So maybe
Can you find another ride
You know I’d never let you down
You know you’re always welcome to come around
But now’s my chance
And I don’t want to blow it
If you let me go now
I will make it up to you
Look all around you, see
All these kids are looking at me
And if we make a scene
You know I can get mean
You don’t have a choice
But to let me leave
So can you find another ride
I know that we had plans
But you know
Nobody really understands
Just how it feels to be a loner like me
So if you let me go now
I will make it up to you
She’s getting ready
To go without me
How can you really be so selfish
There will be other days to see the movie
Today I just have one wish
So can you find another ride
Look what you’ve done to me
You know that she’s getting ready to leave
What is she gonna think of me
Now that I
Turned around and put her
After my friend and
Now she’ll find another one
But someone who’s not me

Mind My Own

Ronnie says he’s going out
Gonna smoke a cigarette
Talk amongst yourselves
Don’t pay him any mind
But it’s gonna
Eat me up inside
I don’t wanna be the guy
Who tries to tell other people
How to live their lives
The funny thing is
I never thought I’d
Be hanging out
With people like that
But somehow they always managed
To stick around
I don’t mind
Cause I’m no saint
I think I’ll just
Mind my own
Mind my own
Ronnie died last Sunday
A surprise to his friends but I
Saw it coming
A mile away
But I knew better
I should have spoken up
Three friends now gone
But instead I
Minded my own
Minded my own

Settle for a Friend
03:51

Settle for a friend, don’t settle for less
Hold ‘em til the end, no need to impress
And when all the rules are broken
You’ll get out
Settle for a man, don’t settle for less
Keep him if you can, cause people progress
And when all the rules are broken
You’ll get out
Too many people out there
Are waiting around
For the man or the woman who won’t
Bring them down
But when they’re not satisfied
They go and hide
Settle for your love, don’t settle for less
Even when it’s tough, you’ll conquer the test
And when all the rules are broken
You’ll get out
Too many people out there
Are waiting around
For the man or the woman who won’t
Bring them down
But when they’re not satisfied
They go and hide
Settle for a friend, don’t settle for less
Settle for a friend, don’t settle for less
Now all the rules are broken...

When Will You Realize?
03:59

Dana, my dear
You have to move on
Cause everyone around you knows
You are no longer who you once were
Just a shell of your former self
It’s been so long
Since you’ve seen my face
You feel that nobody can replace
All of the memories good and bad
You feel that you’ve been had
Let me out of your head
I don’t want to be there any longer
When will you realize
That I checked out
Look at the birds as they fly around
Nobody on Earth can bring them down
They don’t worry
Cause they know the truth
And so should you
Let me out of your head
I don’t want to be there any longer
When will you realize
That I checked out
And it’s okay to be slow
But don’t let life
Move on without you
Then you can realize
Your worth without a doubt

Brian, baby
Say it ain’t so
You lost your mind a long time ago
I think that all these people know you
Better than you know yourself
Better than you know yourself
Brian, baby, take it easy
Get out of bed
Never be lazy
I think there’s a lot more for you to do
So help me help you
So help me help you
Brian, baby
What did you think
When they told you
What to eat and what to drink
Brian, baby
I gotta know
Are you putting on a show
Brian, baby
Write me a song
I don’t care if it’s two minutes long
I gotta give the people something
Something that they can sing
Something that they can sing
Brian, baby
What did you think
When they told you
What to eat and what to drink
Brian, baby
I gotta know
Are you putting on a show
