Fuse
Verse 1:
I’m the kind of person who never quite gets uptight.

I don’t lose my temper or blow up and get in fights, ‘cause

I’ve got a long, long, fuse.
I’ve got a long, long, fuse.
mI’ve got a long, long, fuse,
And it’s been burnin’ a long time for you.

When you take advantage I look the other way.
If you take for granted I don’t have much to say.
All of your vices I try to tolerate.
If you need a shoulder I never hesitate, ‘cause
Chorus:
I’ve got a long, long, fuse.
I’ve got a long, long, fuse.

I’ve got the patience of Job,
Or so I’ m told.
Verse 3:
I’m sitting here politely smiling at you,
Listening congenially to you tell me what to do,
Telling me how to think and what to believe is true,
Trying hard not to choke the shit out of you ‘cause
Coda:
I’ve got a long, long, fuse.
I’ve got a long, long, fuse.
I’ve got a long, long, fuse,
And it’s been burnin’ a long time now. I’ve got a long, long, fuse.
I’ve got a long, long, fuse.
I’ve got a long, long, fuse,
And the longer you burn it the shorter it gets,
And it’s been burnin’ a long time for you.

Verse 1:
I, I can’t read your mind
Won’t read between the lines
Can’t read the look in your eyes
‘Cause once, once upon a time
I’d believe what I
What I read into every smile I saw
Verse 2:
You, you may think that I’m fine
You may want to be mine
But I may never cross your mind,
So I, I’d rather be alone
Than pay the price to learn
The same thing I learned every time before
Bridge:
There’s nothing I’d like better
Than to be close to you,
But baby I know better,
An inch from you is as good as a mile.

Too close for comfort,
Too close for me to breathe
Too close for comfort,
Too close for me to breathe

Sometimes
Verse 1:
Somedays I've got no place to go.

When nothing satisfies me anywhere?
Somedays I've got no place to go.

Too much noise just blows my mind away.
Why should I search for words to say,
When no one listens anyway?
Somedays I don't have much to say.

Spend my time taking it easy.
I don't care if people think that I'm lazy.
The way they live, I think they're all crazy.
I'll spend my time anyway it pleases me.

Sometimes I find I can't sit still.
Too much to do, I 've got no time to kill.
When other people cramp my style
I'll do it their way for a while.
Sometimes I find I can't sit still.

Born Losers
Verse 1:
It looks so good on you. The fit is really you.
It makes you look so much better than ever.
With the Goth tattoos and the green hairdo
You’ve followed it down to the letter.
You’ve got the ring in your nose,
So the crowd can lead you anywhere it goes.
It’s not so easy just to be yourself, so
You might as well be somebody else because you’re

Such a pretty face causing tidal waves
With a body that’s willing and able.
Always keeping pace with ev’ry fashion craze
Making sure of the name on the label

Is it a personality you lack
That forces you to hide behind that painted mask? Because you’re

And their briefcases made all of leather.
Their secretary’s so cute, and if their wives only knew
What they do when they have to work later.
To make your way to the top you must Work your hardest and never stop.
Executive material with the
Brownest of noses have been doing their part. Because they’re

Ordinary and commonplace,
Born losers of the human race.
Because the company requires it you must
Fall in line and keep in step or you’re through.
Verse 4:
In my faded blue jeans it’s just so hard to be seen when you’re
Faceless and lost in the crowd.
Obscurity’s a blast in the great unwashed mass.
To be anonymous makes me so proud.
Remain the same as I’ve been.
I don’t care if my style is out or if it’s in.
Eventually it’ll come around again and you’ll be
Following me until the bitter end. Because you’re

Did You Notice
Verse 1:
It was a sunny spring afternoon I gave my heart to you.
You promised me our love would bloom. My expectations grew.
But then you locked it away in your hope chest with the rest of your best and dearest possessions. So in the dark it was thrown all alone. It’s never known the love you promised would keep it growing.
Verse 2:
All through the long hot summer it never saw the sun.
And though it pleaded for some water you gave it none.
And as the leaves paled and fell in that Hell with the smell of musty, moldy autumn decay.
And winter came with its cold and its snow and it froze to stone and you look at me surprised when I say
Chorus:
Did you notice when my heart stopped beating? Did you notice when it started bleeding?
Did you noticed as our love lay rotting? Did you notice? Did you notice it died?

Thrown away without remark into the dark, not a spark of warm emotion to keep love flowing.

I’m going to need a transplant to a warmer clime,
To someplace with wind and rain and bright sunshine.
Then I’ll find someone who’ll come on the run with her green thumb never to abandon my heart

like you did when it was alive.
So don’t you look at me as if to say please stay, it’s OK I can make it up to you someday ‘cause
