Holiday 01:50
I am going on a holiday Far away I leave today Somewhere sunny I can drink all day (Feel the ocean spray) Hip hip hooray I leave today on holiday Using up all my vacation pay But that’s ok Because I leave today on holiday No more rat race, no more panic You’re gonna catch me poolside In my read banana hammock I only get two weeks off every year I’m gonna take a million pictures To remember I was here FUCK YEAH

My Grandma 01:49
She taught me everything I know about Cooking food with sauerkraut Playing crazy 8s all day Making jokes about Bengay Blasting 90s gangsta rap She ain’t really into that My grandma is awesome More awesome than yours My grandma is cool She tells me stories about World War She takes me to the candy store Her favourite movie is The Wiz She doesn’t know what Xbox is I’m practically a grown ass man She’ll slap my face if I say “damn” She’s always baking apple pies Putting money in my birthday cards And when mom freaked out because I took the car joyriding You know my grandma’s always on my side I hope you never die Like Betty White Cuz then there’d be no apple pies No more money in my birthday cards And I’d have to go to a funeral And I don’t want everyone to see me cry So please don’t ever die My grandma is awesome More awesome than yours My grandma is cool

Remember sitting on the top of Madison Ave? So far away from here We were hanging out and drinking Putting back a couple beers We were laughing at fucked up jokes About how we were abused But I don’t care It’s over now As long as I can be with you Please take my to that place in the sky A different world, a different high It’s lovely there, we’ve got a great view Up on the top of Madison Ave Time has passed and you moved away Now you’re getting it on with other people And I’m left here all alone Now I’m cracking, I’ve got this feeling I’m wasting my entire life away As I sit here by the phone I’m so scared I can’t make it on my own Won’t you take me to that place in the sky A different world, a different high It was lovely there we had a great view Up on the top of Madison Ave

Our Town 02:22
It’s been awhile since I’ve been back I wonder how much things have changed My old favourite haunts The run down restaurants It’s funny how the more things change The more they stay the same Cuz I know every street All the places that we used to meet This is still my home Because this is our town We will not fear you Our kids will run wild in the streets Yeah this is our town I know you feel it There nowhere else that I would rather be Lets go! High school football A dumb ass mall I love it all Some people leave, some people stay Some people disappear Whatever happened to that kid We all remember what he did I hear people say they’d rather be Anywhere but here It’s always been a little rough You kinda to had to grow up tough It is still my home Wherever I may roam Because this is our town We will not fear you Our kids will run wild in the street Yeah this is our town I know you feel it There’s nowhere else that I would rather be And I never find it hard to fall asleep

I keep waking up in the middle of the night I get out of bed on the wrong side where you slept And I can’t find the light I’m thinking about you watching the (you)tube I see your face in Three’s Company I see your face in Gilligan’s too I go for a walk when I’m dumb and I can’t talk You smelled like roses, I smell like a wet dog I see a couple sucking face, the deja vu it fucks me up Now it’s stuck in my head on repeat And I’m asking myself Did you cry when I left Please tell me It’s been so long now but I can’t bring myself to look you up I thought maybe you’d reach out to me but I don’t know why you would And I’m sorry, I wish I could go back and change everything Now all these years have passed but I’m still asking myself

Every day begins the same Calling out your name Awakened from a dream It’s as real as I want it to be I hold you close to me But every day I find It’s only in my mind Is this just fantasy? How can I call it love? Maybe it’s just me You just don’t understand it It fills a need in me I’ll justify these feelings With some lame analogy I know I know it’s real How else could it be How could a perfect stranger Seem so perfect to me We have so much in common At least so it seems We live in different worlds Connected by my dreams When I can’t sleep I bite my lip and close my eyes And I imagine you I got your picture on the wall Your voice inside my head I watch the sun go down again As I lay in bed I’ll deny the truth That anything I do Won’t make a fucking difference

Nobody wants Amy Jo Johnson You tell me that you do But no one really wants her Nobody wants Amy Jo Johnson But me

I waited my whole life For that special night The night when I first saw you Dancing in the moonlight Words couldn’t describe The way you made me feel And I knew for the first time That you’d always be mine You’re perfect in every way And soon will come the day I’ll get down on one knee And ask you to spend your life with me You’re my one & only Oh god it’s true You’re my one & only And you know I love you You come to all our shows And everybody knows That you always let me kiss you Even when your friends are with you Baby you’re the best You give me your cigarettes And no one does that but you Except sometimes for Brett I go out, I get drunk You know all that good punk shit And if I get home after 3am You’re always waiting for me

Yoda, a master of the Jedi Please won’t you teach me your ways Old Obi-Wan Kenobi told me to find you Too bad he can’t be here with us today My father was a Jedi He fell towards the empire’s evil ways Boba Fett was a bounty hunter He kidnapped Han Solo And helped set a trap for me He ended up inside the Sarlacc pit At the end of the beginning of part 3 I mean 6! A lightsaber clash A deathstar blast Millennium Falcon please take me away I kissed my sister

Sometimes it’s hard to see All of the good things that happen to me Cuz I get fucking ADD Over all of this shit stuck in my memory Don’t know why I find it so hard to change Just stuck in my stunted emotional range Don’t know what to do Don’t know what to say These days And the world will fade away When I was 15 I had it all figured out Now that I’m 40 there’s nothing but doubt Did I make the right choice at the end of the day Who can say?
