THE PEOPLE – THE PREMISE IS SOUND

 

Sugar

 

Hey, is this the end of the line

Is the end of the

Hard times the easy living

 

Oh yeah…you bring it out of me

What I had never been

When it was only sugar, baby

Everything that tires to take me

Oh, the sweet thing destroys

 

You let me know what it takes

To fine the way out of the

Hard times and the easy living

 

Are you gonna say that everything

Up until now was a test to see how

Good I could be…God only knows

 

Baby Blue

 

How do you do my baby blue

Do I, I know what’s haunting you

You think like I don’t care at all

But what you’re going through,

Now baby I’m doing it too

 

And looking at your photograph

Wondering if you’re feeling small

Wonder if you got a place to go

Baby do you miss me at all

 

I’ve been thinking of you my baby blue

Are you slipping baby no matter what you do

Now I know that’s life, and life is hard

But what you’re going through,

Now baby I’m doing it too

 

And looking at your photograph

Wondering if you’re feeling small

Wonder if you got a place to go

Baby do you miss me at all

 

I get the feeling that you don’t need me

You get the feeling that I don’t want you

We get to reeling cause it’s normal to do

But we should know much better than that

 

Here’s the keys back to your car

I don’t know who you are

I don’t know what you want

I don’t know just what you are

 

You & me vs. the world

 

Holding on to the things that you believed

That you could never lose under fire

There’s always something new

That’s consuming you

But we won’t ever let it take us over again

Do we sing a song, or move along

When nothing in the world comes for free

 

Oh, it’s like a remedy that’s coming over me

We’ll take it all, we’re taking on the world

Oh, it’s like a part of me, that’s they’d take away from me

We’ll take it all, we’re taking on the world

 

Scratching out a life, we’d pictured in our minds

But I’m afraid it takes a stronger man than me

When nobody matters, and nobody cares

Well let it come inside and open up your eyes

 

Oh, it’s such a waste

To see you there like that

It’s such a waste of time

You don’t take anything on…

 

We’re on the line to take the world

Now you and me against the world

We’re on the line to take the world

 

One more resolution

 

For all the things you say

You still can’t walk away from me

For all the times I told myself to leave

I still can’t keep you gone from me

And everyday I’ll say that there’s

Someone else for me

But when I see you down, I can’t keep

Myself from falling on your way

 

But did you think that I don’t know what It’s about

I don’t know the reason why you’re putting me out

 

A thousand things to say

But nothing to be done for it

But you and all your friends

I think that I have had enough of it

So hit the road and take my life, take all of it

‘cause when I see you next, I’m sure

to hit you up for it

 

but did you think that I don’t know what it’s about

I don’t know the reason why you’re putting me out

I never meant to stay all caught up in you

I never meant to say a dirty word

 

But did you think that I don’t know…

 

For all the things you say, you still can’t walk away from me

 

Popgun

 

I went down to the city with a lady

That I don’t know

She’s living on her own

She needs a man who has no

Feelings of his own

For when she’s all alone

 

Looks to the future and a blaze of self-pity

And then she looks to me

She needs a man who’s gonna

Treat her like a queen

But it’s not me

 

You don’t believe in me

You don’t believe in anything

Until I told you so

Until I told you so

 

Looks to the future and a blaze of self-pity

And wanna look to me

She needs a man who has got no

Feelings of his own

For when she’s going home

 

Sadie’s Dream

 

You say you never want for love to disappear

You say you’re living for the words you never hear

Whether or not you’re loved should

Not depend on who you know

You dream of living on top of a world

Where you can’t go

 

Don’t let your love grown cold in your

Hands where you can’t give it

You say you only want to be

Somebody elses

 

Don’t let your love grow old in your

Head where it’s not living

You say you only want to be wanted

By someone that you don’t know

 

Praying for prince charming’s gentle

Words to dry your tears away

You can’t even remember what he’s

Like or the words he’d say

But you’re eager, and you’re hoping,

Holding onto a prayer in a landslide

Will he be there, look like jesus,

Never leave your side

 

Hey, you’re gonna be okay

Hey, it’s a brand new day

Hey, it’s a brand new day

Hey, you’re gonna be okay…

 

Na na na na na na na-a na…

 

In Stitches

 

Falling over with my feet in the air

She don’t know that I’m in stitches

All I know is what she don’t need much

Is she in need of my opinions

 

Well everyday I’ll find a way to stay alone

But anyday I’ll find you here to say hello

Is there a way to keep my head

From swelling up

Well anyway it’s a brand new day

 

Train station on a Saturday night

She don’t see me burning bridges

Is she the devil or a devilish mess

Of dirty words and cigarettes

 

I’m on the road, going nowhere,

Where nobody cares about my style

I’m on the phone, long distance,

Talking blue eyes and a smile

 

Monster ballad

 

Did you always take for granted

The things that she would say to you

When you were down

Or did you walk into distraction

Forgetting everything you’d found

 

I know what you’re saying…

 

Holding on with all you’ve got

To something she would say to you

When you were around

When she smiles to me then that’s all I see

And nothing now could bring me down

 

It’s what I’m trying to say…

 

Is she’s the greatest thing under the sun

I’ve gotta take her for a walk outside,

Gonna find salvation

When she smiles, maybe talk a while

‘cause I know someday we will find a

way to work it all out

 

and so I’m walking up on sunshine

when all she has is a million smiles for me

there’s a certain something, and it’s

a special something

and it’s all, it’s all I need

 

it’s what I’m trying to say…

 

totally believable, it’s something you could feel

talking through the telephone, when

I’m all alone

Totally believable, something you could feel

I’m hanging up the telephone…

 

She’s the greatest thing…

 

I’m on

 

Come on experts, take your seats

And you’ll see

What it is to be real

Feeling under, come on everybody and see

What you know that you need

A new day, mountaintop and I’m

Where I need to be

In a house in the trees

When I’m on your train, come on

Everybody with me

I’m feeling the breeze

 

Don’t be so walking away

We could be so full of life

I need no medication

‘cause we could be so full of life

 

I feel alive now that I have opened my eyes

To see I’m alright

Why couldn’t I see it was never

Perfect for me

But now I’m alright

Come on, I’m on, I finally figured all of it out

So stop looking to me when

I show you something real

 

Don’t tell me it’s over, she said

She told me never to leave, but I did

 

Mankind

 

Oh, won’t you like to be a shooting stay

Flying off into the setting sun

 

And when you find that we’re not here

Won’t you call your daddy, maybe try

And see his face

So here’s my number, I’m living here right now

 

When life’s not fitted to your tastes

You’ll make an ugly face of

Why am I all that I am

 

The lust and the lies, you’re selfish

And disguised

The cloud on your brain grows thick

Your secret has been compromised,

Guilty conscience lost inside

Why are you so?

 

Black

 

Jumping off the edge into a world

That’s strange to me

When I’m outside of you, the

Ugliness is all I see

A broken-headed man will only

World to bring me down

So can I get back to you

 

And can I be with you forever

And can we forget all the things

That I’ve said

And can I be with you forever

And can I rest in your arms, oh could we be

Together

 

Jesus in your name, save me from my sinfulness

You are all I have, aside from all

My selfishness

All the things in me are nothing

Next to all the things

That I know you have for me

 

The premise is sound
