Another week it's time to say hello
Is it over yet? Probably so
There's just no controllin' this rollin' with the flow When it's always half-past now awhile ago
Goes so fast
It won't slow down
It's Monday everytime I turn around
Goes so fast
It won't slow down
It's Monday everytime I turn around
Tuesday means the weekend's almost here
Wednesday Thursday Friday disappear
Saturday means Sunday's almost in the rearview mirror The future's certain end is always near
Goes so fast
It won't slow down
It's Monday everytime I turn around
Goes so fast
It won't slow down
It's Monday everytime I turn around
Four three two one go
Let's fly
Be thankful for
Another try
Thanks for one more try
Goes so fast
It won't slow down
It's Monday everytime I turn around
Goes so fast
It won't slow down
It's Monday everytime I turn around
Goes so fast
It won't slow down
It's Monday everytime I turn around
Goes so fast
It won't slow down
It's Monday everytime I turn around

Big Lotsa Love
02:42
|
|||
A little bit huggin' a little bit kissin'
Little bit wonder what we're missin'
A little bit que sera sera
Cry cry cry and ooh la la
A little bit what did we get ourselves into?
Adds up to...
Big lotsa love
Big lotsa love for you
A little bit freedom a little bit jail
Little bit tooth and a little bit nail
A little bit no a little I guess
A little bit oh my my hell yes
A little bit every dream we had came true Adds up to...
Big lotsa love
Big lotsa love for you
Sometimes it's a battle
Sometimes it's a cruise
We still wanna be together
So all of it's good news
All of it's good news
A little upset and aggravation
Awe respect and jubilation
A little attention a little distraction
A little can't get no satisfaction
A little bit nothin' else we'd rather do Adds up to...
Big lotsa love
Big lotsa love
Big lotsa love for you

I Don't Wanna Know
02:54
|

You never tell me much
'Bout who you see
And where you go
When you're not with me
But you're so much better
Than the mystery
I don't wanna know nothin' no
I don't wanna know nothin'
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know nothin' no
Maybe somethin's up baby keep it down low I don't wanna know nothin' no
People been talkin'
But they might be lyin'
They might be wrong
And we might be fine
Whenever we're together
You're mine all mine
I don't wanna know nothin' no
I don't wanna know nothin'
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know nothin' no
Maybe somethin's up baby keep it down low I don't wanna know nothin' no
Keep me in the dark
Seal it with a kiss
Knowledge is power
Ignorance bliss
Who needs power
When I got this?
I don't wanna know nothin' no
I don't wanna know nothin'
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know nothin' no
Maybe somethin's up baby keep it down low I don't wanna know nothin’ no

Big Fat Nuthin'
02:28
|

All week long been bustin' ass
You wanna go out I'm gonna pass
Don't be thinkin' I ain't no fun
Right now I'm just overdone
Gonna sit down and do nothin'
Big fat nothin'
Might stay up late and do nothin'
All night long
Rat race loser I confess
Outta my way I need some rest
My idea of recreation
Is brain dead flat line vegetation
Gonna sit down and do nothin'
Big fat nothin'
Might stay up late and do nothin'
All night long
Don't know when I'll get unwired
Right now I'm not tired I'm TIRED
Too tired to sleep too tired to eat
Off the clock and off my feet
Gonna sit down and do nothin'
Big fat nothin’
Might stay up late and do nothin'
All night long

Dog

I love my dog
He's my dog
If you don't love my dog
That's okay
I don't want you to
He's my dog
I love my dog
He's my dog
If my dog don't love you
That's okay
I don't want him to
He's my dog
Sometimes it's just this simple
Sometimes life is just this simple
Sometimes life is really just this simple I love my dog
I love my dog
He's my dog
If my dog don't love you
That's okay
I don't want him to
He's my dog
I love my dog
He's my dog
If you don't love my dog
That's okay
I don't want you to
He's my dog
Sometimes it's just this simple
Sometimes life is just this simple

Something Good
04:05
|
|||
We faded like the flowers
When you phased just like the moon
And you left me empty handed
On the dark side of the room
I was swinging for the fences
I was pouring out my heart
While you marveled at the plastic
That they use these days in cars
We had something good
But good was never good enough for you
World turns Rome burns
Can't you hear that fiddle sound?
Time flies Elvis dies
It's all over but the shoutin' now
We had somethin' good
So you blame the TV preachers
You blame your checkered past
While you tossed me out
Like all your favorite things that never last
Seems the world has caught your fever
As it moves from fling to fling
But the devil's in the details
And it still don't change a thing
We had something good
But good was never good enough for you
World turns Rome burns
Can't you hear that fiddle sound?
Time flies Elvis dies
It's all over but the shoutin' now
We had somethin' good
But good was never good enough for you
World turns Rome burns
Can't you hear that fiddle sound?
Time flies Elvis dies
It's all over but the shoutin' now
We had somethin' good
But good was never good enough for you

Building Chryslers

He's buildin' Chryslers don't care how they turn out Thinks bein' union means he's here to stay He's buildin' Chryslers tryin' not to burn out Doin' airbag installation all day
He's got the bass boat he's got the new house He's got the wife and the kid on the way He's buildin' Chryslers don't care how they turn out He's got bills to pay
He's buildin' Chryslers drivin' a Toyota 'Cause he knows lots of guys on the line He knows they don't care as much about quality control As they care about their overtime
He's got the bass boat he's got the new house He's got the wife and the kid on the way He's buildin' Chryslers don't care how they turn out He's got bills to pay
He's buildin' Chryslers thinkin' 'bout
What did he bring for his lunch break
He's buildin' Chryslers thinkin' 'bout
Everything but his last mistake
He's got the bass boat he's got the new house He's got the wife and the kid on the way He's buildin' Chryslers don't care how they turn out He's got bills to pay

Smile
02:25
|

Hey baby could you smile at me
Light me up like a Christmas tree
Get me buzzin' like a bumblebee
Make things better I guarantee
Not tellin' you what to do
But I really would like it if you
Could smile at me
Hey baby if you get the chance
Could ya slip a grin in that glaring glance Get me doin' a happy dance Like Cupid's arrows in Paris France
Not tellin' you what to do
But I really would like it if you
Could smile at me
I get frowned upon enough
The world gets mean and cold sometimes
Babe I know you're not that tough
I bet you can forgive my petty little crimes
Sorry that I made you mad
You know I make mistakes sometimes
Babe you know I'm not that bad
I bet you can forgive my petty little crimes
Hey baby could you smile at me
Light me up like a Christmas tree
Get me buzzin' like a bumblebee
Make things better I guarantee
Not tellin' you what to do
But I really would like it if you
Could smile at me

XOYOU
02:27
|
|||
I was so mean and hateful
I was ungrateful too
Takin' a stand tough like a man
With anything that I'd do
Cynical hard and jaded
Not lookin' for nuthin' new
Then it all fell apart in the shape of a heart xoyou
It's a sillier situation
Than I ever thought I'd see
You got love note abbreviations
Comin' from a guy like me
I was keepin' it down and dirty
Defendin' my point of view
Then it all fell apart in the shape of a heart xoyou
It's a sillier situation
Than I ever thought I'd see
You got love note abbreviations
Comin' from a guy like me
I was my favorite hard luck story
Proudly wearin' my black and blue
Then it all fell apart in the shape of a heart xoyou Then it all fell apart in the shape of a heart xoyou

Ship it on the Frisco
05:03
|
|||
C'mon buddy you and me
Remember how it used to be
She'd be creepin' like a snail
Crawlin' outta PPG
Gotta go east not west
Hidin' 'cross the trestle is best
Once them engines turn the corner
The rest says be my guest
Them hopper car ladders hang low
We'll ship it on the Frisco
Saturday, how's that sound?
Early in the mornin's when she comes 'round When she crosses Virginia We'll hear 'er and we'll hunker down
Don't run 'til ya hear the brakes
Be careful 'cause there'll be snakes
Pull up tight grip
Don't slip don't make mistakes
Them hopper car ladders hang low
We'll ship it on the Frisco
Wanna go back wanna go back
Wanna go back to them days we used to know Down by the river when we'd jump off runnin'
Just like that brother we're far from home So far from home
Them new trains at dawn
Don't slow down now the factory's gone
Just blows through town
Too fast for a kid to grab on
But I know buddy you and me
Remember how it used to be
When she was creepin' like a snail
Crawlin' outta PPG
And them hopper car ladders hung low
And we shipped it on the Frisco
And them hopper car ladders hung low
And we shipped it on the Frisco

Shape of a Wheel
02:32
|
|||
Been beaten up been beaten down
Been on top of the world
Been in danger been safe and sound
And I handled every curve
Day to day I find a way
To give a new angle a spin
I roll with the punches
I roll with the wind
I'm a wheel no matter what shape I'm in
I've been a star and I've been a square
And every other thing you can be
Trapezoidal, hell I don't care
You can pin it all on me
Day to day I find a way
To give a new angle a spin
I roll with the punches
I roll with the wind
I'm a wheel no matter what shape I'm in
Up and away and over and out
And all points in between
In certainty and total doubt
Of all the things I've seen
Day to day I find a way
To give a new angle a spin
I roll with the punches
I roll with the wind
I'm a wheel no matter what shape I'm in
I roll with the punches
I roll with the wind
I'm a wheel no matter what shape I'm in
I'm a wheel no matter what shape I'm in

The Bottle Rockets Saint Louis, Missouri
When The Bottle Rockets hit the scene in the mid '90s, the world wasn't quite sure what to do with them. With their punk- rock pedigrees and arena-rock energy, their tougher-than-Springsteen storytelling and their romantic hearts sewn bare on their denim sleeves, the pride of Festus, MO confounded musical generalities as they laid waste to clubs across the Midwest and then, soon enough, the nation. ... more
