A girl shows interest, you play it cool
It's some unwritten romance rule
She is talking to you the whole night
You try to look bored but that ain't right
If you play that game long enough you'll see
She has moved on to plan B
A girl can't wait that long as you might see
She gotta hold on to her dignity
She can't wait around for you to call
Calling after a week, maybe not at all
Keep her waiting long enough and you will see
She has moved on to plan B
If you make her wait you will find
Another man is second place in her mind
You are playing her, have a little fun
She might decide that the other guy should be number one
If she walks away you're done cause you will see
She has moved on, moved on, moved along, moved along
Corruption is everywhere
Corruption is everywhere
People want a deal, or a discount or a steal
Corruption is everywhere
People are too good for rules
People think they are so cool
People like to see
What they can get for free
Corruption is everywhere
Grey market satellite
Not supposed to have it but you might
To reauthorize your card
Was never all that hard
Corruption is everywhere
You have a small business
You write off everything as an expense
Everytime we eat
You ask for the reciept
Corruption is everywhere
Reading, I've started reading
Reading, the most that I've done yet
The reason I've started reading again
Is to keep me off the internet
When I'm bored, I hop on the computer
And find a couple sites that I can surf
In the blink of an eye, 3-4 hours can pass by
Which is really sad if you are at work
one book is on the kitchen table
Bring a book to work to read at lunch
Another book to read on the GO train
I end up reading four of them at once
Reading, I've started reading
Reading, the most that I've done yet
The reason I've started reading again
Is to keep me off the internet
A choice between books and movies
Books are my favourite kind
ADHD is the thing that it must be
With books, you don't have to rewind
Reading, I've started reading
Reading, the most that I've done yet
The reason I've started reading again
Is to keep me off the internet
Who's gonna stand in the way of
The thing you want the most?
Who's gonna stand in the way of
The thing you want the most?
Is it me? Is it me?
Is it me? Is it me?
Why should I keep up with your pace
Rushing like it's some kinda race
Where are the good manners
That your momma taught?
Back off, and give me a wee bit of space
Who's gonna stand in the way of
The thing you want the most?
Who's gonna stand in the way of
The thing you want the most?
Is it me? Is it me?
Is it me? Is it me?
So you straightened out and got a job
You're no longer so much of a knob
You want a little wife
To complete your life
Treating it like it's a god-given right
So I waited all these years
Compiling a list of all my fears
You're impatient
I can see that
"these things happen in good time"
Who's gonna stand in the way of
The thing you want the most?
Who's gonna stand in the way of
The thing you want the most?
Is it me? Is it me?
Is it me? Is it me?
I'm not sorry
For what I didn't do for you
I'm not sorry
For what I didn't do for you, who's gonna look out
For me? Is it me?
Is it me? Is it me?
Prove me wrong
Go on, prove me wrong, that
You're not all
The same
They'd be happy Mondays
They'd be happy Mondays
They'd be happy Mondays
If I got a Sunday thrill
I should go and see my parents
The change would do me good
Breathe in the fresh country air
Go for a walk in the woods
I should clean up my apartment
Get this stuff all tided up
Snooze with the cat on the blankets
Wait until noon to get up
They'd be happy Mondays
They'd be happy Mondays
They'd be happy Mondays
If I got a Sunday thrill
I'm not much one for parties
Not much good for getting out
Home and in bed by eleven
My say doesn't have much clout
It is safe to say my week sucked
Lots of stuff is going bad
Lying in bed until Monday
Just to keep from going mad
They'd be happy Mondays
They'd be happy Mondays
They'd be happy Mondays
If I got a Sunday thrill
I've got a truth filter
To separate the truth from your lies
I've got a truth filter
I know that look in your eyes
Who did you think you were fooling?
Who did you think would believe?
Who did you think you were fooling?
I nod and smile to keep the peace
It's tough 'cause I've known you forever
I've known you for all of my life
I'm guilty of being the enabler
I'm trying to help you save face
Still...
Who did you think you were fooling?
Who did you think would believe?
Who did you think you were fooling?
I nod and smile to keep the peace
Maybe you were paraphrasing
Maybe you were dramatizing
Maybe you were summarizing
Maybe you mis-spoke
But I think
It's all lies, lies lies lies
Lies lies lies
It's all lies
Wake up every morning
Dreaming little dreams
Get up, go to work
My little dreams inspire me, they hold me and they guide me
My little dreams, they chase my fears away
Go home every night
Dreaming little dreams
In sleep I slumber tight
My little dreams they chase me, they bolster and they brace me
My little dreams, they chase my fears away
My little dreams they always keep me grounded they never let me down
They keep me gunning towards the future with my pedal to the floor
My little dreams they always keep me grounded they never let me down
When I'm set adrift on water they're my beacon to the shore
Till I can't dream no more
Cannot sleep a wink
Dreaming little dreams
Counting all the stars
My little dreams surround me, they hold me and they ground me
My little dreams, they chase my fears away
My little dreams, my little dreams,
My little dreams, my little dreams.
We're all home at the old house
News is filling up my head
A thousand shoes are in the hallway
Where tonight is my bed?
Trooping out to the backyard
To take photos of us all
Documenting us together
Shivering without our coats
We are used to waiting
Outside the bathroom door
We are used to waiting
We are a set of four
Going to a new school
I know my brother's here somewhere
It takes the edge off the loneliness
That I'd feel if he wasn't there
Running after the school bus
Running off to a class
Running off to catch an airplane
Running out to go to mass
We are used to waiting
Outside in the car
We are used to waiting
We are a set of four
Four ways to tell a story
Four ways to pay attention
Four ways to hog the clicker
Four ways to talk forever
We're a reflection of our parents
And the way we were brought up
We are alumni of our childhood
We share an energy
We are used to waiting
At the airport
We are used to waiting
We are a set of four
Big quiet sunrise
Big open sky
Big quiet sunrise
Big open sky
The sun comes up
Scattering its big love
Across the earth
The world wakes up
Gathering its glow
Don't you know
Big quiet sunrise
Big open sky
Big quiet sunrise
Big open sky
The mist comes up
Gathering on the water
Across the stream
And down the hill
Settling into the valley
On which I drive
Big quiet sunrise
Big open sky
Big quiet sunrise
Big open sky
