Falling Down
Something to remember me by
Something to place in your hand
Something so you feel all grown up when you call my name

Oh, I'm falling down...
Oh, I'm falling...
I don't know when I'll be up

When I call, please remember
Frozen like stone, yeah
He's only flesh and blood
I'll be gone, yeah...
Just a memory passing like pages in a book

I'm falling down...
I'm falling...  (2x)
I don't know if I'll get up
You're a boy...  (3x)

I know why you're here
Can't guess your side
Oh no, the cry of a newborn child
Can't feel the heat
Of something fresh
Can somebody hide me
I cannot hold on...  (2x)
I cannot hold on, child...

The First Time
Oh, the first time...
Everyone always told me it would be better the first time

There's nothing like the first, nothing will replace it
Never ever forget the first time...the first time...

I'm here to say
I'm here with proof
I'm a living example
That the second time around  (2x)
It could be better
Better  (3x)
The second time around

Let me tell you that there ain't nothing
There ain't nothing like your very first... fuck
The very first time, ain't nothing to live by
Trying to live your future, trying to live your past

The second time around, there will always be
There will always be a second time around
There will always be, there's got to be a second time around

Forever in Blue Jeans
Money talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
As long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be...
Forever in blue jeans, babe...

I said honey sweet
It ain't nothing next to baby's treat
If you'd pardon me I'd like to say
We'd do okay...
Forever in blue jeans, yeah....

Baby tonight

Baby tonight by the fire, all alone you and I
Nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sigh...sigh...

(Let me hear ya, let me hear you say)
Money talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
Long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be...
Forver in blue jeans, yeah....

(Everybody!)
I said honey sweet
It ain't nothing next to baby's treat
If you'd pardon me I'd like to say,
Gonna do okay...
Forever in blue jeans, yeah...

(Take it Eddie!)
Baby tonight
Baby tonight by the fire, all alone you and I
Nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sigh...

(Let me hear ya, let me hear you say)
Money talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
Long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be...
Forver in blue jeans, yeah...

Long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be...
Forver in blue jeans, yeah...

(It's the original grunge song)
If you pardon me I'd like to say
We'd do okay...
Forver in blue jean...aw, fuck...
Fucking Up
Mindless drifter on the road...why do I...
Carry such an easy load...why do I...
It's how you look, and how you feel...why do I...
You must have a heart of steel...why do I...

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

I can see you on a hill...why do I...
Comatose but walking still...why do I...
Curves beneath your flowing gown ...why do I...
Only I could bring you down...why do I...

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

Dogs that lick and dogs that bite...why do I...
Hounds that howl through the night...why do I...
Broken leashes all over the floor...why do I...
Keys left hanging in a swinging door...why do I...

Why do I keep fuckin' up?
Fuckin' up...fuckin' up...fuckin' up...

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun...
They just wanna, they just wanna...  (3x)
Be left alone

Hard To Imagine
Paint a picture, forty shades of gray
Light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames
I'll tell a story, no one would listen that long
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...

Fuck tradition, no one's safe from harm
Wait a little, cup and curse these arms
After having seen all that they saw
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...

Things were different then, all is different now   }  (2x)
I tried to explain, some how...                    }

Things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, I hope this works somehow...
Things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, oh, somehow...
Ooh...oh...oh...

Hold Me
Give me, give me, what I really need  (2x)
Hold me, hold me, hold me in my sleep
Give me, give me, what I really need
All our children in there, doing something swell
Spread out what begins my Hell, there's nothing left in our way

Give me, give me, give me what I need
Oh, give me, oh hold me, oh treat me for today
What I'm talking about  (2x)
Is just the kind of things, of the doubt

Give me, give me, give me...
Give me, give me, give me what I need
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Hold me, hold me, hold me in my sleep

Hold On
Nothin' left for me
I can't live down here no more
I can't fall from a tree
I got wings, it ain't my fault
Understand what's right
It's so hard to be alone
It's never tight
It's been so loose for so long
Hold on...  (2x)

Understand my fear
I never been this high before
I can't fall from cheer alone
It only takes a breath to believe...

I can't face one more day
I have tried so many ways
My life work, all I failed
I can't waste away on zeal
Hold on...
A voice tells me hold on...
Somewhere I feel...hold on...
Hold on...
Oh, hold me, hold me, hold me in my sleep

Hold Your Head Up
Yeah...and you been so bad...
Don't let it get you down, you can take it, yeah...
And if it hurts, don't let them see you cry
You can make it...come on...

Hold your head up...whoa now...  (2x)

Hod your head up...whoa now...
Yeah, hold your head high...I said...
Hold your head up...whoa now...  (3x)
I said hold your head high...yeah...

Ha ha ha ha ha...

And if they stare...
Just let them burn their eyes on your movie
'Cause your movin' on
And if they shout...
Just let 'em, don't let 'em change a thing that you're doing...

Said...hold your head up...whoa now...

Hold your head up...whoa now...  (3x)
Hold your head high...

Hunger Strike
I don't mind...
From the mouth of decadence...

But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled...
But it's on the table, the fire's cookin'...
And the starvin' babies, and the slaves are out workin'...
But it's on the table, the mouths are chokin'...
But I'm goin' hungry...I'm goin' hungry...
I'm goin' hungry...I'm goin' hungry...
