"Give me all your paper ma So I can get a train. They just wanna suck you in To being one of them. Tell her that I'm not in here, Tell her I'm a freak. Tell her that I fall about Every time I speak."

"She lives in the place In the side of our lives Where nothing is Ever put straight. She turns herself round And she smiles and she says 'This is it' 'That's the end of the joke' And loses herself In her dreaming and sleep And her lovers walk Through in their coats.Pretty in pink, Isn't she? Pretty in pink, Isn't she?"

"Listen, to the weathermen They're not saying anything They're tripping flags for you This crazy face for you You don't have a point of view You don't have to say you do"

"[The band's fourth album] Take Off Your Pants And Jacket [is] a masterclass in pop punk writing."

"For many, ["Dammit"] was the introduction to pop punk guitar playing. It's not the most advanced riff to play, but you just had to learn it, so that means it deserves honourable mention for the influence it has had on aspiring guitar players."

"We're falling faster than we can fly Forgotten seconds out on Sunset Drive. And I hold on tight but not enough to hold you back."

"Save your breath, I'm nearly Bored to death and fading fast. Life is too short to last long. Back on earth I'm broken, Lost and cold and fading fast. Life is too short to last long."

"No discussion of pop punk can take place without mention of blink-182."

"Yeah I I saw your ghost tonight. The moment felt so real. If your eyes stay right on mine, My wounds would start to heal."

"I swear that I can go on forever again Please let me know that my one bad day will end. I will go down as your lover, your friend. Give me your lips and with one kiss, we begin.Are you afraid of being alone? Because I am, I'm lost without you. Are you afraid of leaving tonight? Because I am, I'm lost without you."

"Everyone wants to call it all around our life with a better name. Everyone falls and spins and gets up again with a friend who does the same. Everyone lies and cheats their wants and needs and still believes their heart. And everyone gets the chills, the kind that kills when the pain begins to start."

"I've been here before a few times And I'm quite aware we're dying. And your hands they shake with goodbyes. And I'll take you back if you'd have me. So here I am, I'm trying. So here I am, are you ready?"

"With all of this I know now Everything inside of my head It all just goes to show how Nothing I know changes me at all Again I wait for this to change instead To tear the world in two Another night with her, But I'm always wanting you."

"Blackjack and architect, Let's drink ourselves to death. The crimes of everyone Passed down from father to son. Hopeless and destitute. Destroyed my gratitude. Your strongest lines of defense are all just self-inflicted wounds.You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong. You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone."

"Hello there, The angel from my nightmare, The shadow in the background of the morgue, The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley."

"Fate fell short this time, Your smile fades in the summer. Place your hand in mine. I'll leave when I wanna."

"Where are you and I'm so sorry I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight. I need somebody and always This sick strange darkness Comes creeping on so haunting every time. And as I stare I counted The webs from all the spiders, Catching things and eating their insides. Like indecision to call you And hear your voice of treason. Will you come home and stop this pain tonight? Stop this pain tonight."

"Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know. She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window. Everything's better when she's around. I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town. I fell in love with the girl at the rock show."

"When you smile, I melt inside. I'm not worthy for a minute of your time. I really wish it was only me and you. I'm jealous of everybody in the room. Please don't look at me with those eyes; Please don't hint that you're capable of lies. I dread the thought of our very first kiss, A target that I'm probably gonna miss."

"So here's your holiday. Hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away. It was mine, so when you're dead and gone, Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost? It's not right."

"Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)."

"I never conquered, rarely came. 16 just held such better days. Days when I still felt alive. We couldn't wait to get outside. The world was wide, too late to try. The tour was over, we'd survived. I couldn't wait 'til I got home To pass the time in my room alone."

"And that's about the time she walked away from me. Nobody likes you when you're 23. And are still more amused by TV shows. What the hell is ADD? My friends say I should act my age. What's my age again? What's my age again?"

"All the, small things True care, truth brings I'll take, one lift Your ride, best trip Always, I know You'll be, at my show. Watching, waiting, Commiserating.Say it ain't so, I will not go. Turn the lights off, Carry me home."

"And when I feel like giving up, like my world is falling down, I show up at 3 A.M., she's still up watching Vacation. And I see her pretty face, it takes me away to a better place, andI know that everything, Know that everything, Know that everything, Everything's gonna be fine."

"And it's happened once again I'll turn to a friend Someone that understands, Sees through the master plan. But everybody's gone And I've been here for too long To face this on my own. Well, I guess this is growing up. Well, I guess this is growing up."

"She's a dove, she's a fuckin' nightmare, Unpredictable, it's my mistake to stay here. On the go and it's way too late to play, I need a girl that I can train."

"Late night, come home. Work sucks, I know. She left me roses by the stairs. Surprises let me know she cares."

"This is the first (thing I remember) Now it's the last (thing left on my mind) Afraid of the dark (do you hear me whisper?) An empty heart (replaced with paranoia) Where do we go? (life's temporary) After we're gone (like New Year's resolutions) Why is this hard? (do you recognize me?) I know I'm wrong (but I can't help believing)."

"Sometimes I sit at home and Wonder if she's sitting at home Thinking of me and wondering if I'm Sitting at home, thinking about her. Or am I just wasting my time?"

"I talk to you every now and then, I never felt so alone again. I stop to think at a wishing well, My thoughts send me on a carousel. Here I am standing on my own, Not a motion from the telephone. I know not a reason why Solitude's a reason to die."

"Tidal waves, they rip right through me Tears from eyes worn cold and sad Pick me up now, I need you so bad."

"'Cause when I'm with you there's nothing I wouldn't do. I just wanna be your only one. I'm grasping out at straws thinking back to what I saw That night on the floor when we were all alone."

"A long time ago, We used to be friends. But I haven't thought of you lately at all. If ever again A greeting I send to you, Short and sweet to the soul I intend."

"X-men and women,"

"I am alone, but adored / by a hundred thousand more."

"MOTORCYCLEMAN:"

"SNOWY DAVE:"

"I'm in love with the girl downtown"

"'cause I like you, yeah I like you, and I'm feeling so Bohemian like you."

"I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passé."

"X-(WO)MEN:"

"I won't do any cleaning, cooking or washing."

"everybody was excited"

"Why can't I get just one fuck? Why can't I get just one fuck? I guess it's got something to do with luck, But I waited my whole life for just one...Day after day I get angry and I will say That the day is in my sight When I take a bow and say goodnight."

"Day after day, I will walk and I will play. But the day after today, I will stop and I will start.Why can't I get just one kiss? Why can't I get just one kiss?"

"Words to memorize, words hypnotize, Words make my mouth exercise. Words all fail the magic prize; Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs."

"When I'm out walking, I strut my stuff, Yeah, and I'm so strung out. I'm high as a kite, I just might Stop to check you out.Let me go on Like I blister in the sun; Let me go on, Big hands, I know you're the one."

"You can all just kiss off into the air; Behind my back, I can see them stare. They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind. They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!) Yeah, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!)"

"Kids were laughing in my classes, While I was scheming for the masses. Who do you think you are? Dreaming 'bout being a big star. They say you're basic, they say you're easy, You're always riding in the backseat. Now I'm smiling from the stage, While you were clapping in the nose bleeds."
