I started a historical movement
I wanna take it back if I can
'Cause I really didn't mean it
And I don't want it repeated.
When I was young
I didn't know that the forces that shaped me
Would shape the world too.
If I did, I would have stopped them
Or at least warned Kofi Anan.
You were a friend to all.
You were our Truman.
You were our Suge Knight.
Unfortunately, power does not make anyone smarter
Especially you.
I started a historical movement
I wanna take it back if I can
'Cause I really didn't mean it
And I don't want it repeated.

You were once an empire like the Romans or the Huns.
Now your country's health care system's ranked at number one.
Liberty, equality, and fraternity are grand
And at this time I'd like to give the French a hand.
France has always been a friend to the United States.
They helped to fight for independence against the UK.
Liberty, equality, and fraternity are grand
And at this time I'd like to give the French a hand.
I. I have never been. I may never go. Oh.
But in the meantime, I'll listen to Gainsbourg.
I'll watch some Truffaut films.
And I'll sigh, sigh, sigh.
France has the atomic bomb, but who knows why they do.
Even heartless terrorists could never bomb the Louvre.
Voltaire, Gondry, Air, Camue, and Jean-Paul Sartre are grand.
And at this time I'd like to give the French a hand.

Christmas is that time of year
When we feel joy and we spread cheer
Good tidings to all.
And we all know at Christmas time
We give gifts and put aside some of our differences
And just enjoy the moment.
Somehow, this year, those feelings came a bit early.
A step closer to peace on Earth, cause this year
Christmas came November 4th.
In the US, we changed our minds.
We don't need to dominate all the time.
It's just not right.
We voted in a pragmatist whose heart is just a little bigger than his fist.
Though I'm not sure that's literally possible.
Somehow, this year, those Christmas feelings came early.
A step closer to peace on Earth, cause this year
Christmas came November 4th.

I walk everywhere I go, I go.
I walk everywhere I go.
Unless the bus is going my way
I'll be one for toeing down the highway.
I walk everywhere I go, I go.
I walk everywhere I go
Unless my roommate's gonna take me
I'll be one for toeing down on Main Street.
Tried to ride a board I fell on my face.
My bike is in the shop and parts all need replaced.
I can't afford insurance and I can't believe.
How cars and trucks pollute the air I'm trying to breathe.
I walk everywhere I go, I go.
I walk everywhere I go
If I'm grocery shopping or what you
I'll be one for toeing down the avenue.

In the town where I grew up
On a modest downtown block
Was a Firestone tire shop
That you'd never think could rock.
It became the best place in the vicinity
To enjoy some music or an espresso with some company.
It isn't some dime-a-dozen corporate bore.
Flying M, Flying M, Flying M
You're such a finestore.
When you first walk into this place
It's hard not to be impressed.
The garage is a beautiful space
And the staff's the absolute best.
You can easily while away an hour or three
Reading Boise Weekly or a website cause the wifi's free it
Isn't some dime-a-dozen corporate bore.
Flying M, Flying M, Flying M
You're such a finestore.

A seal came to me just so she could see what Christmas is.
So she knocked on our front door December 24th
And here's her take on it:
I got stuff for Christmas
And I got a kitty, and a piano, and a wire, and a wire cutter, and pants, and a guitar, and a kitty, and a microphone, and jingle bells.
Jingle bells jingle bells.
Stars and happiness forever!
Merry Christmas!
Then she took a nap right there in my lap.
For hours she lay.
Then she had to leave to go back to the sea.
She'll be back again someday.

There's a place where we can go
When we want to hear new songs
It's a blog by our friend Kevin
And he's never, ever wrong.
He always recommends the best stuff.
Like Wedding Present and Sweet Jane.
He does it all cause he loves music.
And it's got the greatest name:
MP3Hugger
It's coming up on fifteen years now
But now with streams not MP3s.
Regardless, he has kept the blog name
Cause you might drown if you hug a stream.

They fight with such passion and heart.
To the end from the start
All 90 minutes
Led by an Italian man
They barely understand
But he's Irish as Lynott
So we'll sing UP for the boys in green
Cause they've got this chance to prove themselves
And they know how much it means.
There's nothing that Richard Donne
Won't do or hasn't done
To be victorious.
He and the rest of the team
Worked so hard for this dream
It's simply glorious.
So we'll sing UP for the boys in green
Cause they've got this chance to prove themselves
And they know how much it means.

The time has come again
Euro football tourney
Which means it's time for me to
Sing to the Irish team
I think I've set a record
For an American ban
Singing of Irish football
I'm proud to lend a hand
So we'll sing again for the boys in green
Cause they've got this chance to prove themselves
And they know how much it means.
Jonathan Walters is a superhero
Who gives 100 percent every time
Martin O'Neil lead them
And Roy's keen to help
If they don't win it all this time, it's a crime.
So we'll sing again for the boys in green
Cause they've got this chance to prove themselves
And they know how much it means.
On the way to Euro 2016
We beat Bosnia over two legs in the playoffs to qualify
With Robby Brady scoring in the dense fog of Zenica
Which proved a pivotal moment.
John O'Shea, centurion
Scored a last minute goal against the world champions in German
Cue ecstasy among the traveling support
Shane Long put Germany to the sword at Lansdowne Road
Following a pass from goalkeeper Darrin Randolph.
Congratulations, Ireland!
And best of luck in the tournament.
All right-thinking football fans are rooting for you all the way.

I’ve seen you before
I’ve seen you before
(The dreamer dreamt)
Dreamers that dreamed
Where you were.
And I’ve heard you before
I’ve heard you before
(A warbly song)
Bleeding from side two of a cassette
That’s how I heard you.
And I loved you before
I’ve loved you before
(A vision in)
A car late at night
In 94 in my parent’s driveway
And I’ve known you before
I’ve known you before
(I always have)
You’ve seen me before
You’ve seen me before
(The dreamer dreamt)
Dreamers that dreamed
Where I was.
And you’ve known me before
You’ve known me before
(You always have)

U Turn Me On

You were walking in the dark
You were walking in the park
You were wearing pink shoes
You were lookin' real cute
I wanna go down to the bottom of the sea
Cause they're handing out seashells for free
And when I come up, I wanna go right back
Down to the water where it's black black black black
There's always been a lot of things we said we'd do
But now we're over and we're said and through
I don't care if the feelings you used to have for me are gone
U Turn Me On
You were talking to a frog
You were feeling like a slob
Cause your hair was a mess
And you were halfway dressed
I wanna go down to the bottom of the sea
Cause they're handing out seashells for free
And when I come up, I wanna go right back
Down to the water where it's black black black black
And when you talk about my eyes I melt away
I never wanna swim in space unless it's Saturday
My hands are overboard, they're dragging through the sea
I think I want you to come right back to me
