The Boy Who Knew Too Much:
1.We Are Golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Waking up
In the midday sun
What's to live for?
You could see what I've done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running
From the things that you'd say
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
I was a boy
At an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Now I'm sitting alone
I'm finally looking around
Left here on my own
I'm gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I'm still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed dry
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Waking up
In the midday sun
What's to live for?
You could see what I've done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running
From the things that you'd say
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
I was a boy
At an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure

Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.

2.Blame It On The Girls
So I was sitting there in the bar and this guy comes up to me and he said "My life stinks" and I saw his gold credit card and I saw the way he was looking at people across the room and I looked at his face and you know, what a good looking face, and I just said, "Dude, your perspective on life sucks".
He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's livin' at ease
Like lovers on the open shore -- What's the matter?
When you're sitting there with so much more --What's the matter?
While you're wondering what the hell to be
Are you wishing you were ugly like me?
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Life could be simple but you never fail
To complicate it every single time
You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life
But you blow it on a bottle of wine
Like a baby you're a stubborn child -- what's the matter
Always looking for an axe to grind -- what's the matter
While you're wondering what the hell to do
We were wishing we were lucky like you
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys x 2
He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's livin' at ease
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys x 2
He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's livin' at ease
Like lovers on the open shore -- What's the matter?
When you're sitting there with so much more --What's the matter?
While you're wondering what the hell to be
Are you wishing you were ugly like me?
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Life could be simple but you never fail
To complicate it every single time
You could have children and a wife, a perfect little life
But you blow it on a bottle of wine
Like a baby you're a stubborn child -- what's the matter
Always looking for an axe to grind -- what's the matter
While you're wondering what the hell to do
We were wishing we were lucky like you
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys x 2
He's got looks that books take pages to tell
He's got a face to make you fall on your knees
He's got money in the bank to thank and I guess
You could think he's livin' at ease
Blame it on the girls who know what to do
Blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you
Blame it on your mother for the things she said
Blame it on your father but you know he's dead
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys
Blame it on the girls
Blame it on the boys x 2
3.Rain
Is it really necessary
Every single day
Making me more ordinary
In every possible way
This ordinary mind is broken
You did it and you don't even know
Leaving me with words unspoken
You better get back cuz I'm ready for...
More than this
Whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap
I can't look back
Baby I hate days like this
When it rain rain rain rains
It rain rain rain rains

Baby I hate days like
Trying to be ordinary
Was it me who was the fool?
Thought you found the man you wanted
Until you turn him into something new
Well even if our minds are broken
There's something that I need you to know
It's nothing like the life we wanted
You better move on
Cuz I'm ready for
More than this
Whatever it is

Don't know what to do
After all the years that I spent with you
I can't blame you for the things you say
I was using you just to hide away
More than this

Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap

4.Dr John
I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my mama's face
When her son's in the corner, undone
She says that my life is over
"Boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder"
She gave me her hand, but I ignored her
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Oh, Dr. John
I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of a bar
From afar
I see the look on my daddy's face
When his son's falling over, undone
Father my life is over
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder?
If I fall asleep, will it be over?
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
They say I'm a big heartbreaker
But Doctor, I'd never hurt ya
It isn't that obvious? (hmmm)
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
End printed lyrics, song continues:
(Another day, another break up)
Oh, Dr. John
(Hold on, and on, Hold on, and on)
I keep on trying
(Another day, another wake up)
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on
Oh, Dr. John
(Another day, another wake up)
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on
(Another day, another wake up)
(I keep on trying)
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

Ooh, ooh, ooh

5.I See You
I'm standing across from you
And dreaming of the things I do
I don't speak, you don't know me at all
For fear of what you might do
I say nothing but stare at you
And I'm dreaming
I'm trippin' over you
Truth be told
My problems solved
You mean the world to be but you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
That I see you (3x)
That I see
Conversations
Not me at all
I'm hesitating
Only to fall
And I'm waiting, I'm hating everyone
Could it be you fell for me?
And any possible similarity
If it's all, how would I know?
You never knew me at all but I see you
But I see you (4x)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
Truth be told, my problem solved
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
But I see you (4x)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
(4x)
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
And dreaming of the things I do
I don't speak, you don't know me at all
For fear of what you might do
I say nothing but stare at you
And I'm dreaming
I'm trippin' over you
Truth be told
My problems solved
You mean the world to be but you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
That I see you (3x)
That I see
Conversations
Not me at all
I'm hesitating
Only to fall
And I'm waiting, I'm hating everyone
Could it be you fell for me?
And any possible similarity
If it's all, how would I know?
You never knew me at all but I see you
But I see you (4x)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
Truth be told, my problem solved
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
But I see you (4x)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
(4x)
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
6.Blue Eyes
Your heart is broken
To your surprise
You're sick of crying
For blue eyes
So tired of living
Misunderstood
Think hard woman
I think you should
Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you
I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?
Ohh, you'll wind up broken
At the end of the round
Won't find your spirit
In a lost and found
Oh I've been watching
How you behave
Not much like a lover
More like a slave
Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you
I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with...
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you
To your surprise
You're sick of crying
For blue eyes
So tired of living
Misunderstood
Think hard woman
I think you should
Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you
I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?
Ohh, you'll wind up broken
At the end of the round
Won't find your spirit
In a lost and found
Oh I've been watching

7.Good Gone Girl
Could you believe
The same old story
Yeah it never bores me, though I've heard it all before
Her name was Georgia
And she was gorgeous
When she adored ya the whole room would get to know
Should have gone straight to the last
Danced with the devil do your best
Play the wounded soldier
In a rush just to get to know ya
Hanging out in the fancy bars
With the boys who play guitar
Though that I had to warn ya
She's gonna make it out to California
Hey you, what's a good girl like you doing in this crazy world?
Well it's good gone girl
Dance, dance, to the life you wanted
When you were only 17
With a good girl dream
Ooooooooo
Good gone girl
Could you believe the same old phonies
Those painted ponies
That you've ridden all before
Her name was April
But she was hateful
Enough to make you want to run right out the door
I can tell you what you want the most
After the champagne toast
When the end of the night gets tricky
Don't you know that beggars can't be picky
Lookin' out for a man who's golden
Doesn't matter if his wallet is rollin'
He's looking at you like a desperate hunter
Sugar daddy but he's just a munter
Hey you, what's a good girl like you doing in this crazy world?
Well it's good gone girl
Dance, dance, to the life you wanted
When you were only 17
With a good girl dream
(X2)
Ooooooooo
Good gone girl
Ooooooooo
Good gone girl
Ooooooooo
Good gone girl
She's walking around allover the town, needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down.
She's happy to choose somebody to use, Good gone girl she's got nothing left to loose. (X3)
She's walking around allover the town, needs somebody to notice but the goodness gets her down.
Ooooooooo
Good gone girl
The same old story

8.Touches You
When you've had enough and you need somebody to know
When you're looking tough but you need a way to let it go
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you
I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to
I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too
I wanna be wanna be
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
Whatever else that touches you
If you're ever losing, losing your way
Just stop and listen to the things that they say
To avoid confrontation
You walk away
Growing up when I need to compromise
When I've had enough 20 years and I realize
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone

You walk away
Growing up when I need to compromise
When I've had enough 20 years and I realize
Come on now, what's a boy s'posed to do
When I can't seem to leave you alone
Touching me touching you
I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too
Never make you run for cover even if they want us to

9.By The Time
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
It's the early morn
Lights flick on
Sleepy eyes peek through the blinds at something wrong
Motionless remains the mess
Shame, such a beautiful, beautiful young life
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
A trail of clothes two years old
Why did you have to go and leave all this stuff behind
Wasn't I allowed three strikes and out
No, but you said I could, said I could just one night
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
If I had let you go, let you go (sounds like Would)
Would this be different, different
Now I'll never know never know
I didn't get the chance damn you
If I let had you go, let you go
Would this be different, different
Now I'll never know never know
I didn't get the chance damn you
And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
It's the early morn
Lights flick on
Sleepy eyes peek through the blinds at something wrong
Motionless remains the mess
Shame, such a beautiful, beautiful young life
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
A trail of clothes two years old
Why did you have to go and leave all this stuff behind
Wasn't I allowed three strikes and out
No, but you said I could, said I could just one night
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
If I had let you go, let you go (sounds like Would)
Would this be different, different
Now I'll never know never know
I didn't get the chance damn you
If I let had you go, let you go
Would this be different, different
Now I'll never know never know
I didn't get the chance damn you
And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up
10.One Foot Boy
What's a matter
With going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you're here for, I don't need it
I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There's a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away,
He comes here almost everyday
And everyday I push him off and tell him boy we're over
MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
Say you like me,
But not with changes?
Shut up and forget it
These are my faces
All these colours
That surround me
All these places
Only drown me
I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There's a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away,
He comes here almost everyday
And everyday I push him off and tell him boy we're over
MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own
What's a matter
With going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you here for, I don't need it
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

11.Toy Boy
I'm a wind up toy
In an up-down world
If you leave me all alone
I'll make a mess for sure
I've a heart of gold
In the smallest size
Leave me in the dark
You never hear me cry
PRE-CHORUS 1:
More than an illustration
Points of articulation
Come to life on a brass spring
Such a wonderful plaything
VERSE 2:
It's a cruel cross
That I have to bear
If you come a little close
I'm going to pull your hair
More than just a toy
In a patched blue suit
When you hold me in your arms
I'm just a boy like you
But your momma thought
There was something wrong
Didn't want you sleeping
With a boy too long
It's a serious thing
In a grown-up world
Maybe you'd be better
With a Barbie girl
PRE-CHORUS 2
You knew that
I adored ya
But you left me in Georgia
Toys are not sentimental;
How could I be for rental?
VERSE 3
She's the meanest hag
That has ever been
Pulled out my insides
With an old safety pin
I'm the sorest sight
Now I feel like trash
Clothes are made of rags
And they don't even match
So she dressed me up
As the man she loved
And threw me in a box
When she had had enough
Now the light of day
I no longer see
She stuck her voodoo pins
Where my eyes used to be
PRE-CHORUS 3
Accidentally tragic
Victim of her black magic
Had a boy once who loved me
Now he's so afraid of me
VERSE 4
On a long lost day
When you're grey and old
You'll be there remembering
Your old toy boy
When your only son's
Wondering what to be
Tell him the story of
A boy like me
In an up-down world
If you leave me all alone
I'll make a mess for sure
I've a heart of gold
In the smallest size
Leave me in the dark
You never hear me cry
PRE-CHORUS 1:
More than an illustration
Points of articulation
Come to life on a brass spring
Such a wonderful plaything

12.Pick Up Off The Floor
There's a girl, thought she knew,
What her life was going to do,
Then she goes, and falls in love and throws it all away.
But her man, can't decide,
If he's made the right choice in life,
So she comes home on day to find he's gone away.
Put your heart back in your pocket,
Pick your love up off the floor
When your momma says you're stopping,
But girl, let me tell you more:
If he's 95 or 22,
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do,
He says he don't love you anymore,
So pick up off the floor.
Walks around an empty town,
Sees his face coming around,
Every corner takes on a similar stay.
Love is lost, life can burn,
But your luck will return,
But if you're dragging it down you won't know it's there
Put your heart back in your pocket,
Pick your love up off the floor
When your momma says you're stopping,
But girl, let me tell you more:
If he's 95 or 22,
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do,
He says he don't love you anymore,
So pick up off the floor.
Put your heart back in your pocket,
Pick your love up off the floor
When your momma says you're stopping,
But girl, let me tell you more:
If he's 95 or 22,
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do,
He says he don't love you anymore,
So pick up off the floor.
Pick your love, love, love (pick up off the floor)
Oooooooooh (pick up off the floor)
Put your heart back in your pocket,
Pick your love up off the floor
When your momma says you're stopping
But girl let me tell you more
If he's 95 or 22
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore
So pick up off the floor
What her life was going to do,
Then she goes, and falls in love and throws it all away.
But her man, can't decide,
If he's made the right choice in life,
So she comes home on day to find he's gone away.
Put your heart back in your pocket,
