2005

there's no need
Just throw on this coheed and fall out boy meets girl jimmy eat world
But Schlep eats pills till he's all out
Not once not twice she was thrice times a lady
Actin' all brand new, but I had to
Bounce over to the postal services to

Pick up these pills that take care of my nervousness
And on the way I saw planes and mistook'em for stars 
She played games but she took em too far
At the drive in

Watching soft porn and you could tell
By the trail of the dead, that there was something in the popcorn
Hopped back in my cab destination midtown 
Just to get up with some kids that like to get down
I made my rounds and that was that

In between the frowns, the scraps and heart attacks
And I remember I seen her ass in early November
On a Thursday taking back Sunday for a refund
She shot a wink like no hard feelings
Then she jetted to Brazil man them pills had me spun

This is the story of the year right here
This is hot water music
Put ya ramen into it

Childlike we always acted,
Loitering on campus at night
Endlessly distracted.
Lucky i was to have your support.
Listening to Jimmy Eat World nightly.
Although our friendship was cut short.
No amount of thank you will ever be enough.

I was off spinning free
Headphones on to some Jimmy Eat World
When i saw you, girl
You were all pretty and blonde
Bombshell rocking sunglasses on
And i was gone

Was like a whisper in my ear
What kind of secrets lie here

Summer bright, feeling alright
Getting drunk all day and high all night
Fast lane of life
Can't put a finger on, what the feeling was
As id wait for you in the parking lot
Oh want, some kind of want

Was like a whisper in my ear
What kind of secrets lie here

What kind of secrets
What kind of secrets

Now i've ran through blackness
Chasing you home
And i know your sadness
As i know my own
'Cause i want it, and i love it
Needing you near
Forget easy, you intrigue me
What kind of secrets, what kind of secrets

I'm so sorry"

Oh, how I wish I smoked
Give me any reason to step outside
Always looking for my friends
They're my only ride

While the band keeps singing: "haha, you can never leave"
By the end of the night, I realize the problem is me

Then I saw you outside standing in a semi-circle
We went for a Night Drive
Listened to Jimmy Eat World
It was "Sweetness"
"For Me This is Heaven"
It brought Clarity
(Add another Jimmy reference)

There's a six band show in my head
I'm pretty sure Dirty Hall booked it

Glah, glah, glah
This ain't no rental
Slide down on this block and knock him down, that's accidental
Like his name is Jimmy, eat his world right in the middle
You can call me Wayne, the way you gon' be belittled
Bitch, I'm runnin' through the ops like my name was George Kittle
Haha, it's Mr.

We watched the night time fade away
From the comfort of familiar streets
Your breath was frozen in the night air
Your head rests on my knee
We found some comfort in the words 
I nervously spoke between my teeth
We fell in love for the first time
With the same Cure song stuck on repeat
I'm hesitant, but unmistaken
I know you're barely awake, and I am sorry to keep you up
But, I can't help thinking that you're my reason
She speaks soft, we're walking on eggshells

We watched the years play so unfair
Far from where nostalgia ever reaches
A thousand times i watched the Tim Burton movie
You recited every scene
The world became my disbelief and
Your words always felt like such a dream
We talked away all our self-doubt
With that Jimmy Eat World song on repeat
You're hesitant, but still I'm shaken
I know you're falling apart, and I'm trying to remain sane
Your aspirations, my incoherence
She speaks soft, these walls are so thin

I fell apart through all our inconsistence
I still miss this
I'll play the part
And you'll fall hard
I promise, I'm where you left me

Yeah, yeah
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
cnd no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But the truth is there's nothing like old friends

I can still feel the windows down, yeah
Listening to Jimmy Eat World
Riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat, yeah
My God, it's been ten years now
I'd have his back tomorrow
cnd he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me

Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older?

Yea she pop another perc
Smoke a blunt she take a hit
Shawty think she is my misses 
Really think she is the shit 

But I know that she be faking 
Buying Dolce and Gabbana 
Wanna steal my shit 
Either Stephanie or Bella

Yea she pop another perc
Smoke a blunt she take a hit
Shawty think she is my misses 
Really think she is the shit 

But I know that she be faking 
Buying Dolce and Gabbana 
Wanna steal my shit 
Either Stephanie or Bella

She just wanna make to the function when its live 
Why you getting mad why you pick another fight
If I was a genie make a wish and say goodbye 
2025 and she calling in goodnight 

Why they only fuck with us when we be going up 
If she really wanna be around you know I can't be done
Tryna pour it for the homies they getting caught quite a lot 
In the middle feel like jimmy eats world but not enough

Yea she pop another perc
Smoke a blunt she take a hit
Shawty think she is my misses 
Really think she is the shit 

But I know that she be faking 
Buying Dolce and Gabbana 
Wanna steal my shit 
Either Stephanie or Bella

Yea she pop another perc
Smoke a blunt she take a hit
Shawty think she is my misses 
Really think she is the shit 

But I know that she be faking 
Buying Dolce and Gabbana 
Wanna steal my shit 
Either Stephanie or Bella"

My god you had me at hello.

When I kiss you I hear Jimmy Eat World,
And when you smile you show your teeth.
You know I'll always be right by your side, forever baby
And every second inbetween.

I'm in love with the girl next door
She caught me naked and sleeping on the floor
And when I tried to apologize
She gave me that look in her eyes
I'm not one to call it quits
Especially when I see her tits
And even if she has a guy
She'll still give me that look in her eyes
She put on my Saves the Day shirt
And walked home
I guess I'll have to go and get it
Tomorrow
I'm in love with the girl next door
She'll come over only when she's bored
And even when I call her name
She'll wanna call me and do it again
I'm in love with the girl next door
She caught me jackin off once before
And when I tried to apologize
She gave me that look in her eyes
She put on my Jimmy Eat World shirt
And walked home
I guess I'll have to go and get it
Tomorrow
Do you wanna today
'Cause I'm already late
Do you wanna today
'Cause I wanna get laid
I'm in love with the girl next door
Na na, na na
I'm in love with the girl next door
Na na, na na
I'm in love with the girl next door
Na na, na na
I'm in love with the girl next door
Na na, na na
She put on my Starting Line t-shirt
And walked home
I guess I'll have to go and get it
Tomorrow

Maybe Paramore, or My Chemical Romance

Everybody wants to shut me out
But they can't cause I'm their only friend

I dyed my hair and got a tattoo
Only so my girlfriend would notice me too
I locked my door and snuck out the window
I got drunk at the bar and thought that red meant go

Blink-182 is my favorite band
Wait, that can't be right cause I only know one song
Maybe The Offspring, or Jimmy Eat World
Maybe The Ramones, or The All-American Rejects

Everybody wants to shut me out
But they can't cause I'm their only friend

They say it's all a phase
But they don't know how I feel
They don't know what they're saying
Cause they're just stupid parents
They say it's all a phase
But they don't know how I feel
They don't know what they're saying
Cause they're just stupid parents

Everybody wants to shut me out
But they can't cause I'm their only friend

I have no friends and I hate my dad
My mom says I'm boring and my girlfriend is dead
I hate my job and I suck at school
My neighbor wants to kill me and I won't be cool

I dyed my hair and got a tattoo
Only so my girlfriend would notice me too
I locked my door and snuck out the window
I got drunk at the bar and thought that red meant go

Old Friends

Ben Rector

Magic

2018

(yeah, yeah)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends 
'Cause you can't make old friends (mm, yeah)

I can still feel the windows down
Listening to Jimmy Eat World 
Riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat (yeah)
My God, it's been ten years now
I would have his back tomorrow
And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me

Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older?

Mud Slide Slim

James Taylor

Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon

1971

Mud Slide Slim 
And the Blue Horizon

Oh, Mud Slide
I'm dependent on you

I don't know but I've been told
There's a time from time to time
I can't eat
I can't sleep 
But I just might move my feet
'Cause there's nothing like the sound of sweet soul music
To change a young lady's mind
And there's nothing like a walk on down by the bayou
To leave the world behind
Mud Slide
I'm depending upon you
Mister Mud Slide Slim 
And the Blue Horizon

I've been letting the time go by
Letting the time go by
Yes, I'm letting the time go by
Letting the time go by

I'm gonna cash in my hand
And pick up on a piece of land
And build myself a cabin back in the woods
Lord, it's there I'm gonna stay 
Until there comes a day
When this old world starts to changing for the good
Now the reason I'm smiling is over on a island
On a hillside in the woods where I belong
I wanna thank Jimmy, Jimmy, John, Nick and Laurie
The No Jets Construction 
For setting me down a homestead on the farm

Mud Slide
I'm depending upon you
Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon

Night goes on and on, don't want to come at all
Baby, baby, baby, I know

Stoney Lee Blue Borne,
Picking on a fretless bass, babe

Oil slick, slipping and a slapping and a sliding on

Mud Slide Slim

Oh, Mud Slide

But I just might move my feet
'Cause there's nothing like the sound of sweet soul music
To change a young lady's mind
And there's nothing like a walk on down by the bayou
To leave the world behind

Kootcheroo

I didn't think so 

And you don't want to be here in the future 
So you say the present's just a pleasant interruption to the past 
And you don't want to look much closer 
'Cause your afraid to find out all this hope

You had sent into the sky by now had crashed 
And it did 
Because of me 

And then you bring me home 
Afraid to find out that you're alone 
And I'm sleeping in your living room 
But we don't have much room to live 

I had these dreams that I learned to play guitar 
Maybe cross the country 
Become a rock star 
And there was hope in me that I could take you there 

But dammit you're so young 
Well I don't think I care 
And if I hurt you 
Then I'm sorry 
Please don't think that this was easy 

Then you bring me home 
'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone 
And I'm dreaming in your living room 
But we don't have much room to live 

And Konstantine is walking down the stairs 
Doesn't she look good 
Standing in her underwear 
And I was thinking 
What I was thinking 
We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere 

My Konstantine came walking down the stairs 
And all that I could do is touch her long blonde hair 
And I've been thinking 
It hurts me thinking that these nights
When we were drinking no they never got us anywhere 
No 

This is because I can spell konfusion with a k 
And I like it 
It's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it 
It's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car 

When the first star you see may not be a star 
I'm not your star 
Isn't that what you said 
What you thought this song meant 

And if this is what it takes 
Just to lie in my mistakes 
And live with what I did to you 
And all the hell I put you through 

I always catch the clock 
It's 11:11 
And now you want to talk 
It's not hard to dream 
You'll always be my Konstantine 

Konstantine, they'll never hurt you like I do 
No they'll never hurt you like I do 
No, no, no no no no no no 

This is to a girl who got into my head 
With all the pretty things she did 
Hey 
You know 

You keep me up in bed 
This is to a girl who got into my head 
With all the fucked up things I did 
Hey 

Maybe 
Baby 
You could keep me up in bed 
My Konstantine 

Spin around me like a dream we played out on this movie screen 
And I said 

[Repeat: x7]
Did you know I missed you?

Black Water Bayou

Tanya Tucker

Soon

And with no where to go, and nothin' to eat
She got a job dancin' down on Bourbon Street
But the shoes she's wearin' on her feet
Don't dance like they danced with Jimmy Lebeaux
Back on the black water bayou

In the heat of the night
It was the very last show
She walked onto the stage
With her heart and her head hung low

She started to cry, cry
As the curtain rolled
She found herself lookin'
In the black water eyes of Jimmy Lebeaux

Well he picked up her shattered dreams
Off that stage in New Orleans
And said, Marie, don't you think it's time to go
Back to the black water bayou??

(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover

Jim Reeves

Songs of Love

1975

There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see

There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free

The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again

There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see

The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again

There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see

And I was thinkin, what I was thinkin
That we've been drinking, and it doesn't get me anywhere

My Constantine came walkin down the stairs
And all that I could do was touch her long blonde hair
And I've been thinkin, but it hurts me thinking
that these nights when we were drinking though they never got us anywhere..no

This is because I can spell konfusion with a "K" I can like it
It's to dying in anothers arms and why I had to try it
It's to Jimmy-eat-world and those nights in my car
When the first star you see may not be a star, im not your star
Isn't that what you said, what you thought the song meant
And if this is what it takes, just to lie with my mistakes
And live with what I did to you, all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock its 11:11 and now you wanna talk
Its Not hard to dream you'll always be my Constantine, my Constantine
They'll never hurt you like I do, no they'll never hurt you like I do, no no no no no no no no

This is to a girl who got into my head, with all the pretty things she did, hey you kno
You keep me up in bed, this is to the girl who got into my head
With all these fucked up things I did
Hey, maybe baby you could keep me up in bed, my Constantine
You spin round me like a dream, we played out on this movie screen
And I said, Did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you,
Did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you?

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town

You can hear me yelling "Morning Star", as I run along the street
I've got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town

Never mind, Sir, how I look, don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
I'm awful cold and hungry, Sir, my clothes are mighty thin
I wander 'bout from place to place, my daily bread to win

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town

My father was a drunkard, Sir, I've heard my mother say
And I am helping my Mother, Sir, as I journey on my way
My mother always tells me, Sir, I've nothing in the world to lose
I'll get a place in Heaven, Sir, selling the "Gospel News"

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town

We killed you motherfucker
And buried yo' ass with nothin but yo bitch's bloody rags

Homecoming

Green Day

American Idiot

2004

Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain Saint Jimmy comes without any shame
He says, "We're fucked up" and we're not the same
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

Jimmy died today
He blew his brains out into the bay
In this state of mind, it's my own private suicide

Well, nobody cares
Well, nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Last Mango In Paris

Jimmy Buffett

Last Mango in Paris

1985

I went down to Captain Tony's to get out of the heat
Then I heard a voice call out to me, "Son, come have a seat"
I had to search my memory as I looked into those eyes
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies

He said, "I ate the last mango in Paris
Took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And Jimmy, there's still so much to be done"

"I had a third-world girl in Búzios with a pistol in each hand
She always kept me covered as we moved from land to land
I had a damn good run on Wall Street with my high fashion model wife
I woke up dry beneath the African sky, just me and my Swiss Army knife

"I ate the last mango in Paris
Took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And Jimmy, there's still so much to be done"

We shot the breeze for hours as the sun fell from the skies
And like the sun, he disappeared before my very eyes
It was somewhere past dark-thirty and I went back to the head
I read upon the dingy wall, the words the old man said

"I ate the last mango in Paris
Took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And Jimmy, there's still so much to be done"

"I ate the last mango in Paris
Took the last plane out of Saigon
Took the first fast boat to China
And Jimmy, there's still so much to be done"

That's why we wander and follow la vie dansante
