"Grandpaw Would" (1995)

Pop Queen Lyrics – Ben Lee

Well you're real pretty
And you act like a cross between you know what I mean
It's a real pity
Cause you try to be mean, but you just can't fake it with me
You love the Pixies
You're the ultimate Pop Queen you know what I mean
Yeah my girl is a true dream
And I'm not gonna hate you if you're not gonna hate me

You're my Pop Queen

Well, you're not that lazy
And you know how to act when you're with the upper class
My dreams of you are hazy
As we lie on the grass and we talk about daydreams
You're so unconceited
Yeah you couldn't be slack if I paid you the shirt off my back

You're my Pop Queen

How Can That Be? Lyrics – Ben Lee

I can't live without your breath
You are all that I adore
I'd say if you were the sun, I'd be the rays
But I don't think that's a suitable metaphor me

How can that be?

I don't know much but I know what I'm talkin' 'bout
I don't care about them anymore
I'd say if you were a kitty, I'd be the litter
But I don't think that's a suitable metaphor me

How can that be?

Enough talk learn to be subtle
Better ways of leaving than slamming the door
I'd say if you were the room I'd be the window
But I don't think that's a suitable metaphor me

How can that be?

Sprawl Lyrics – Ben Lee

I pretend I'm mellow
So you don't think I'm hurt
I'm just a real sad fellow
Pretends he's so down to earth

And I might get a kiss
If I play my cards right
Don't care if I've missed
The whole goddamn point
Just pull myself together in the way
That you'd want me to

You're so mellow
You can't see I'm in pain
My knees turn to jello
And my eyes start to rain

And I might not get dissed
If I play my cards right
Don't care if I've missed
The whole goddamn point
Try to be nice in the way
That you'd want me to

And I wear my shirt like I'm not affected
I'll eat my lunch like I still haven't checked yet
I'll try to be cool and if that doesn't work at all
I'll try to sprawl

I'm With The Star Lyrics – Ben Lee

Well I saw you on the catwalk
Not a corny supermodel song
I tried to cheer, but the cat had my tongue
You came out of the dressing room
In a t-shirt with a red front
I'll be your hanger-onner
If that's what you want

Cause I'm with the star
Cause that's what you are
A beautiful star
I'm with the star
Am I speaking too soon if I say I'm in love
I'm with the star
Cause that's what you are
A beautiful star
You're wasting your pretty face
Hiding behind that mask
The mask of a beautiful star

I tried to think
Maybe I could drop a hint
I'm really awful
At this kind of thing
You came out of the dressing room
In a t-shirt with a red front
I'll be your groupie-supermodel-hanger-onner
If that's what you want

Yeah I'm with the star
'Cause that's what you are
A beautiful star
I'm with the star
Am I speaking too soon if I say I'm in love
Yeah I'm with the star
Cause that's what you are
A beautiful star
Wish I could drive you round
Around in your car
The car of a beautiful star
'Cause that's what you are
A beautiful star

Yeah I'm with the star
Am I speaking too soon if I say I'm in love
Yeah I'm with the star
Cause that's what you are
A beautiful star
Wish I could drive you round
Around in your car
The car of a beautiful star

Don't Leave Lyrics – Ben Lee

Would you resent me
If I said that I'd miss you
And would you hate me
If I wanted to kiss you
And would you love me
If I was stoic
And if I told you
Would you already know it

Well I'm coping better than before
But it's still hard to watch you leave
So don't leave me please

You're like a childhood fear
You're not changing
If I gave you a present
Would you try to exchange it
If I tried to please you
Would you make me feel awkward
If I went away
Would you make me move forward

Well if you decide to go
I'll wait For a year, a month, a week
So don't leave me please

And I'm coping better than before
But it's still hard to watch you leave
So don't leave me please

Away With The Pixies Lyrics – Ben Lee

I'll cross your path
You won't let me forget it
You can change your name
And make me remember it

And they think that you're too much for words
But they don't know how to show it
They've labeled you most likely to succeed
Though you don't know how they'd know it

I don't want your stories anymore
They were fun when I was four
I'd do away with the Pixies
If you could give me something more
She's away with the Pixies

We'll work it out
We'll make it worthwhile
Cause you can't always change your name
Like your clothes go out of style

And they're jealous cause you know so much
They can't quite get a grip
You're everything they wish they were
You never miss a trick

I don't want your stories anymore
They were fun when I was four
I'd do away with the Pixies
If you could give me something more
She's away with the Pixies

Bolt Lyrics – Ben Lee

Well she talks like a bullet
And she looks like a goddess
Says she's a traveler
And she knows where she's going

Dresses like a model
Talks like a liar
She sounds like a bimbo
But she thinks like a scholar

She's got me she's lost me
She's got me on my knees in awe
She took me she shook me
And now I want her all the more

Well I'm talking straight to her
And I know she's not listening
Why the hell do I find her
So damn impressive

She has a bad temper
She likes to have control
The fact I don't understand her
Fascinates me all the more

She's got me she's lost me
She's got me on my knees in awe
She took me she shook me
And now I want her all the more

She's got me she's lost me
She's got me on my knees in awe
She took me she shook me
And now I want her all the more

Side View Lyrics – Ben Lee

Shoulda seen that girl on the radio
Made me think of the time
I tried to rhyme
And failed miserably that time
On the radio
Passed the time

Shoulda seen me trying to talk to you
So you'd think I was cool
But I'm not
And I guess you found that out
On the radio
Passed the time

Said I'd tell you everything
Or every but that one thing
I tried to weasel my way out
You shouldn't have found out that way
I shoulda sat you down and explained
I thought that there would be no way
You'd find out on the radio

Shoulda seen me sink not swim
Made me think of a rat
That's trying to climb
Even though it know it's doomed
On the radio
Passed the time

Shoulda heard me - what a fool
Made me think of the time
I tried to rhyme
And failed miserably that time
On the radio
Passed the time

Said I'd tell you everything
Or every but that one thing
I tried to weasel my way out
You shouldn't have found out that way
I shoulda sat you down and explained
I thought that there would be no way
You'd find out on the radio

Pathetic Lyrics – Ben Lee

Things seemed so nice for the first few weeks
Didn't care - she didn't notice me
Then I asked her does she wanna hang out
Get something to eat

She said I'm just another guy with high hopes
A real sorry sight
I'm also half her height
I'm just another guy in the crowd
She laughed at me
I died

I wrote her a song, took me a real long time
To get everything to rhyme
Read in a magazine girls like it best
When you're honest with them

She said the song sucked big time
I'm a talentless clown
She doesn't want me around
She said the final goodbye
A punch in my eye
I died, I died

Song 4 You Lyrics – Ben Lee

I'll buy a pair of jeans
A stylish means
A groovy masterpiece
I'll cover them with paper men
And books on zen

Records shot with darts
Talk your way out of this one - blah, blah, blah...

I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you

I'll sleep till after three
I'll brush my teeth
I'll wash my feet
I don't feel well
You couldn't tell
I look like hell

Records shot with darts
Talk your way out of this one - blah, blah, blah...

I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you

Trying To Sneeze Lyrics – Ben Lee

Copping the sound, the sound cops me
I've got nothing to lose
My hair's in the breeze
I don't hate you, just your jealousy
So if you're ready to procrastinate
I'll be your friend, you'll eat me up
We boast the widest range in town
I'll be your friend, you'll show me how

Alarm clock is off, I'm trying to sleep
Smelling of Bondi beach
And the street, filthy as it may be
Is still my street, so don't challenge me
Some things don't change, for instance me
I'll sail your third defeat today
In every way, you'll lose again

But I don't care, I don't care
The wind's in my hair, the hair's in my breeze
I'm waiting to sneeze, I'm waiting to sneeze
The hair's in my breeze

Well I don't care, I don't care
The wind's in my hair, the hair's in my breeze
I'm waiting to sneeze, I'm trying to sneeze
The hair's in my breeze

The Loft Lyrics – Ben Lee

Piggy's on the floor, getting some sun
The axe on the wall, isn't the only one
The case in the hall, show to everyone
The lock on the door

If you wanna, if you oughtta
If you kinda, shoulda, sorta
If you'd like some, if you'd try some
So you're sure before you buy some

Gotta come to terms with what I've found

The train will pass the loft each night at ten
Phone echoes round the loft at six am
People come and leave the loft every now and then
I love the loft

Gotta come to terms with what I've found
Gotta come to terms with what I've found
Gotta come to terms with what I've found
Gotta come to terms with what I've found
Gotta come to terms with what I've found
Gotta come to terms with what I've found
Gotta come to terms with what I've found
Gotta come to terms with what I've found
Gotta come to terms with what I've found

I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around

Frigid Lyrics – Ben Lee

From such a tender age
I let you in
To mess with my insides
I don't regret a thing

And I don't care if you're confused
Please hold my hand
Grip the railing
I still don't understand

Twenty metres above the ground, took off my disguise
I never thought of kissing you is that such a surprise
I think you've heard my song before
Won't make you hear it again

Don't wanna hear about your girl
Got my own best friend
And if you wanna hear a tune we'll grab a bite
Take your quotation marks away
I got my pride
I got my pride

I ate my mushroom goop
You were laid-back
We tried to reinvent ourselves
We're getting off the track

And I don't care if you're confused
Please hold my hand
Grip the railing
I still don't understand
I think you've heard my song before
Won't make you hear it again

Don't wanna hear about your girl
I've got my friend
And if you wanna hear a tune we'll grab a bite
Take your quotation marks away

I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride

Stumbling Block Lyrics – Ben Lee

I'm out on a limb
I'm trying to climb
I'm feeling unsure
Every little thing
If you give it time
Is destined to change you

Why can't I take back my past if I wanna
Why can't I lose half my life if I wanna

She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way
She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way

The slippery tongue
I wrap 'round the words
The web that I've spun
Put a stumbling block
In front of the blind
I made you feel dumb

Who says this fruit's gonna last forever
Who says I'm wearing these shoes forever

She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way
She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way

Locker room dialogue boils the fat
To forget you're a kid feels much better than that
Locker room dialogue boils the fat
To forget you're a kid feels much better than that

Ductile Lyrics – Ben Lee

You know you never change your ways
And I don't mean the way you brush your hair
You know you never change your ways
And I don't mean the clothes you wear

And I don't want you to lose your inhibitions
Just be a bit more flexible
By dictionary definition
Be a bit more ductile like me

You know you never change your ways
And I don't mean the life you lead
You know you never change your ways
And I don't know what you need

And I don't want you to lose your inhibitions
Just be a bit more flexible
By dictionary definition
Be a bit more ductile like me

I'm hoping you'll be
A bit more ductile like me
I'm hoping you'll be
A bit more ductile like me
Here's hoping you'll be
A bit more ductile like me

Love Song Lyrics – Ben Lee

Can't get away from a fun song
A pop song, I'm gonna write my swan song
Can't get it happening to write a love song
Always bring in rock 'n' roll
Always bring in dumb stuff

It's not about your jokes
It's not about your name
It's not about the way you hurt me
Every single day

Every boy in the world
Writes a song for a girl
For every girl in the world
I'll write a cool song, a new song, a pop song
I'll write a love song
I'll write a cool song, a new song, a fun song
I'll write a love song
I'll write a love song

Green Hearts Lyrics – Ben Lee

I swear I've never been speechless
Till today, no way
I never thought you weren't pretty
Had to say, had to say

And if you need some kind of reassurance
I'll cry and send my tears
But if you don't know I'm sorry
Then my green hearts won't mean anything

I draw a picture of red hearts
On a plate, just to state
I don't need love, just a letter
In my way, on my tray

And if you hate me cause I'm selfish
I'll begin to understand
But if you don't know I'm sorry
Then my green hearts won't mean anything

Yeah my green hearts won't mean anything
Yeah my green hearts won't mean anything
Yeah my green hearts won't mean anything
Yeah my green hearts won't mean anything
Yeah my green hearts won't mean anything
Yeah my green hearts won't mean anything
Yeah my green hearts won't mean anything
Yeah my green hearts won't mean anything
