Track Name: Settle
Have I got a sound for you?
One that won’t make you boo
Like reassurance any would do
Not just more of my lousy attitude

Have I got a taste for you?
One always fresh and new
Like yours to me, all the way through
What is a guy like me to do?
Well you just roll the dice and get what’s coming to you

Have I got a breath that’s real?
One deep enough to feel
Like causing climax and crushing appeal
I got the wanting end of the deal

Have I got a love for you?
One that is ever true
Like trading kisses for another or two
What exactly did you want me to do?
When you just roll the dice and get what’s coming to you

Have I got a thing for you?
One you would always choose
Not for the pleasure of an hour or two
Not just a distraction from your solitude
As you roll the dice and get what’s coming to you
Track Name: Drinking Beer
Lately I’m thinking I’m not over you anymore
Then the other day, I saw your picture, now I know it’s for sure
I used to say I’d never go in the way of the norm
But since you’ve moved on, that lofty goal has simply gone out the door
This is me now, not much more
Because of you

I’m drinking beer
I’m watching football
I’m going out to bars to pick up girls
What’s happening here?
I’m getting drunk
I’m watching porno
I know that’s nothing new, but now when I do, I think of you

Smooth is not me
I tried my line but, me, she couldn’t see
She jumped as if I’d said “Boo”
I didn’t mean to scare you. So sorry
You see, the others made it so easy
But, now it’s time for plan ‘B’

So, if you’re thinking you’re not over me after all
Then, just do some drinking and when you’re ready give me a call
We’ll have ourselves a ball
No inhibitions at all
But if you do

We’ll drink some beer
We’ll drink some more beer
We’ll dance to Elvis C
Even ‘The Boys of B’, I might let you hear
We’ll get you drunk
Maybe we’ll watch some, well you know
Then you’ll be number one, ‘till the doing’s done
Then, me again, you’ll want

So, let’s drink some beer
Let’s cloud our judgment
Let’s rock with Steven T
It won’t bother me
I’ll be ear to ear
Let’s get me drunk
And then you take advantage
Well now, just thinking ‘bout it, to my eye, it brings a tear
So, let’s drink some beer

Now let’s have
Track Name: Good Person
Some guys say I gotta learn how to treat women right
Treat her right
Meanwhile they’re cheating on their girlfriends
They say it’s just a matter of keeping it out of sight
That’s alright
But, I’m not buying it

Some guys say I gotta relax and give girls a chance
Take a chance
Don’t mind the slurring or the fingerprints
They say there’s gonna be someone getting in those pants
It makes sense
But, I’m not buying it
When they say that I shouldn’t be this way

Well, I say I’m a good person, sometimes

Some guys say it’s nothing but fear that’s keeping me down
From going down
Sounds like a reasonable explanation
It’s all an innocent game, just act like a clown
No frown allowed
But I’m not buying it
Track Name: Bane
I think there was a time you loved me
I think I may be wrong
I think you can’t understand why I think you’re the one
I think you didn’t buy my full affection
I think you’re wrong
I think you feel little but rejection
I think it’s worth a song

I won’t sit around and watch you suffer
You’re better off without me though I could be wrong, but I think

I think your father is an asshole
I think that you know it
I think he spit on a Picasso
I think he’s headed below
But, he couldn’t seem to sway my devotion
But then, I guess it seems that you could, I think

What you think, I don’t know
What you felt never showed

I think your mother’s disappointed
I think she needs to forgive
I think she wishes things were different
I think that’s no way to live

And she never believed that we’d end up together
Cause that would require you not screwing up
At least, that’s what I think

I think, but what do I know?
Track Name: Not You
This is an easy one
For me it’s an easy one
Nothing much to be done
So for me it’s an easy one

Who will care and miss me when I’m not there?
I don’t know, but I know it won’t be you
And who will reassure me when I get scared?
Not you

This is an easy one
It’s like all of my work’s been done
Now there’s nothing left to do but run
So for me it’s an easy one

Who’ll forgive me, all the mistakes I’ve made?
I don’t know, but I know it won’t be you
And who will want me after my hands been played?
Not you
Track Name: Nothing New
I see you
You're crying inside
Nothing new
It's nothing you can hide
Then you're gone
But I will survive

I see you
You're letting me go
Nothing new
It's nothing I didn't know
Then you're gone
But I'm through letting it show

I see you
You're smiling outside
Nothing new
It comes as no surprise
Then you're gone
And it's time for me to say goodbye

I see you
You're dying inside
Nothing new
You can't say that I never tried
Now you're gone
And it's time to stop wondering why
Track Name: Forgotten
I have seen beautiful people
With their flawless face
I have seen tightness and grace
But I won’t be forgotten

I’ve been awed by brilliant minds
With their countless degrees
I have witnessed them decipher with ease
But I won’t be forgotten

I have felt compassionate touches
Been healed by an embrace
I’ve been talked into a better place
But I won’t be forgotten

I have loved wonderful lovers
Intoxicated by their lure
Been addicted and begged them for more
But I won’t be forgotten
Track Name: Two Girls and Seventeen Women
Two girls and seventeen women since you
I’ve had me two girls and seventeen women since you
No, I haven’t gone without more than one day
Each one better than you in some way
Two girls and seventeen women since you

There was Joan, she danced and moved like I’ve never seen, since you
Always tasteful, with just the right amount of obscene
I couldn’t look away, couldn’t turn my head
At least, not until she’d been in my bed

Then there was Tara, I tell ya her eyes were out of sight
But they looked exactly like yours, and they saw the height
So I never wanted to be seen with her
But, according to you, that doesn’t really matter

Two girls and seventeen women since you
I’d say at least two girls and seventeen women since you
A stewardess and a private nurse
I lost count after the first
Two girls and seventeen women since you

How about Shannon, the most unique mind I have found, since you
Though I must admit I’m not into being gagged and bound
Come to think of it I didn’t like her too much
But she filled a need, for someone to fill

Let’s not forget Monica, after all, she was the perfect girl for me, since you
She could cook and clean and do my dirty laundry
It’s just so easy when you’re in a band
And, I’m not even counting one night stands

Two girls and seventeen women since you
There must have been two girls and seventeen women since you
A catholic school girl and a cop
One prayed that we’d go the other one said, “Turn and spread.”
Two girls and seventeen women since you

Oh yeah, Tiffany, although her real name she wouldn’t say
But, you’ll be glad to know she’s the only one that I had to pay, since you
But, she didn’t give me any grief or bitch
She did, however, give me quite an itch

Two girls and seventeen women since you
Probably two girls and seventeen women since you
Don’t need a bed, don’t need no covers
Did you see that? I just had another
Two girls and eighteen women since you

So now it’s two girls and eighteen women since you
Let’s call it an even two girls and eighteen women since you
Ok, so maybe there’s been some exaggeration
When I imply sex I mean masturbation
To girl’s and women’s pictures since you
