all i wanna do
hit it! this ain't no disco it ain't no country club either this is la!
"all i wanna do is have a little fun before i die," says the man next to me out of nowhere it's apropos of nothing he says his name's william but i'm sure, he's bill or billy or mac or buddy and he's plain ugly to me and i wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life we are drinking beer at noon on tuesday in a bar that faces a giant car wash the good people of the world are washing their cars on their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing as best they can in skirts in suits
they drive their shiny datsuns and buicks back to the phone company, the record store too well, they're nothing like billy and me, cause
all i wanna do is have some fun i got a feeling i'm not the only one all i wanna do is have some fun i got a feeling i'm not the only one all i wanna do is have some fun until the sun comes up over santa monica boulevard
i like a good beer buzz early in the morning and billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of bud he shreds them on the bar then he lights every match in an oversized pack letting each one burn down to his thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out and he's watching the bottles of bud as they spin on the floor
and a happy couple enters the bar dangerously close to one another the bartender looks up from his want ads
otherwise the bar is ours, the day and the night and the car wash too the matches and the buds and the clean and dirty cars the sun and the moon but
if it makes you happy
i've been long, a long way from here put on a poncho, played for mosquitos and drank til i was thirsty again we went searching through thrift store jungles found geronimo's rifle, marilyn's shampoo and benny goodman's corset and pen
well, o.k. i made this up i promised you i'd never give up
if it makes you happy it can't be that bad if it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad
you get down, real low down you listen to coltrane, derail your own train well who hasn't been there before? i come round, around the hard way bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread and serve you french toast again
well, o.k. i still get stoned i'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
we've been far, far away from here put on a poncho, played for mosquitos and everywhere in between well, o.k. we get along so what if right now everything's wrong?
soak up the sun
my friend the communist holds meetings in his rv i can't afford his gas so i'm stuck here watching tv i don't have digital i don't have diddly squat it's not having what you want it's wanting what you've got
i'm gonna soak up the sun gonna tell everyone to lighten up (i'm gonna tell 'em that) i've got no one to blame for every time i feel lame i'm looking up o i'm gonna soak up the sun i'm gonna soak up the sun i've got a crummy job it don't pay near enough to buy the things it takes to win me some of your love every time i turn around i'm looking up, you're looking down maybe something's wrong with you that makes you act the way you do maybe i am crazy too
i'm gonna soak up the sun while it's still free i'm gonna soak up the sun before it goes out on me don't have no master suite i'm still the king of me you have a fancy ride, but baby i'm the one who has the key every time i turn around i'm looking up, you're looking down maybe something's wrong with you that makes you act the way you do maybe i am crazy too

my favorite mistake
i woke up and called this morning the tone of your voice was a warning that you don't care for me anymore
i made up the bed we sleep in i looked at the clock when you creep in it's 6 a.m. and i'm alone
did you know when you go it's the perfect ending to the bad day i was just beginning when you go all i know is you're my favorite mistake
your friends are sorry for me they watch you pretend to adore me but i'm no fool to this game
now here comes your secret lover she'd be unlike any other until your guilt goes up in flames
you're my favorite mistake
well maybe nothin' lasts forever even when you stay together i don't need forever after it's your laughter won't let me go so i'm holding on this way
did you know, could you tell you were the only one that i ever loved now everything's so wrong
did you see me walking by? did it ever make you cry?
you're my favorite mistake you're my favorite mistake you're my favorite mistake
