Weekends with John
Johnny played guitar
the same old song
driving in his car.
Johnny went to work
and he walked like a man
Oh yeah,
all the boys stopped to stare
at what was in his pants.
But weekends with john
are weekends with me
I am john
and johnny is me
(instrumental)
Weekends with Jeannie
were always so fun.
The way she would dance alone
in the center of the sun.
but when i go to work
and I hear that song
I don't think of Jeannie
I think of John
Weekends with john
Are weekends with me
I am John
and Johnny is me.
Weekends with john
just watching TV
(Oh yeah) I am john
and johnny is me
Weekends with John
are weekends with me.
(Oh yeah) I am john
and johnny is me
Weekends with John
just watching TV.
I am john
and Johnny is me.

I remember...
walking with you.
I would tell you my dreams
and you'd tell me what they mean.
You always said you needed someone
through thick and thin,
because we all know how good that is.
But I don't want you stuck living this life of pain,
and I know you're just looking for some guy
to take home and make him pay.
But not me
no its not me you're looking for
babe its not me
no its not me you're looking for
its not me, it's not me
its not me, you're looking for
its not me, its not me
its not me, you're looking for
I know the worlds so very strange
and no matter the life you build
its always re-arranged.
I know you love to think that you have that second sense
but i gotta be honest...
Sometimes you don't know shit
and that's fine....
You don't have to be all knowing
or be mine,
but you've got to know one thing...
It's not me
no its not me you're looking for
babe its not me
no its not me you're looking for
its not me, its not me, its not me
its not me, you're looking for
its not me, its not me, its not me
its not me, you're looking for

Other People's Lives

Do you remember walking through the snow?
To find our way home.
Then I gave you a lock of my hair
to show you you're never alone.
I can still see the tea lights
lined up in a row,
as they'd watch us watch them, watch you...
Making collect calls on a distant pay phone
but where they go, no one knows...
But other people's lives are so interesting
yes other peoples lives are so important
That's why we're watching
other people's lives tonight
Wont you come over
and live my life tonight?
I still remember
the black cat walking
following us all the way home.
We can try to tell them
but the kids may never know
how fast the time goes.
But I remember
you singing songs for me
as we fell asleep.
Making long distance calls
into other peoples dreams
its more simple than you think.
Because other peoples lives are so connected
yes other peoples minds are so receptive.
Wont you come over
and watch other people's lives tonight?
Wont you come over
and watch other peoples lives tonight?
