Today I got my call from Ketchum Idaho
From Hemingway and railways and whiskey wine and snow
But if you've never been in pain before then I guess you wouldn't know
I'm leaving in a while now for Ketchum's icy sting
To walk and fish and write some songs, to stay up late and drink
And if I stay there long enough then I'll never feel a thing
And Ketchum will be good to you if are strong and brave
She caters to the melancholy every single day
And babbles like a drunk old man unloading all his pain
I'll lock myself in Ketchum's stare I'll make her my whole world
I'm gonna roam the Ketchum streets to find a Ketchum girl
And then I'll let her break my heart 'cos that's all that I do well
The valley will become my home her hills will keep me safe
I'll give her songs about my soul when there's no soul left to take
And I'll forget I ever lived in any other place
And it may seem inevitable I would love this fate
So beautiful and tragic and her heroes can't escape
And Hemingway he shot himself one July evening late
But me I couldn't bring myself to bloody Ketchum's name
Underneath her passion boils, never spoils surface tame
I'll slowly let her kill me with her lonely wind and rain
Her lonely tears and pain
My Drifting Nature lyrics - ben lee
We used to be the best of friends
I wrote a song for you
You'd call me for no reason
Talk about TV and food
We used to be the best of friends
You read my horoscope
You said I wasn't anal enough to be a Virgo
I said that's what I hoped
I admitted I was scared to you
I said I couldn't sleep
I told my jokes and they were bad
You laughed to humour me
We used to be the best of friends
We flirted but no more
Sometimes we'd drop each other hints
That we would both ignore
But now we're not the best of friends
We said we'd always be
There was a night I should've kissed you
That blame belongs to me
'Cos you got a boyfriend, got a life
I guess he took my place
I started speaking to you less and less
Till you were just another face
But sometimes our eyes meet
Sometimes we look around
Then one of us will look away
I usually look down
The other night I was hanging out
Red eyes, wet hair
I looked across the circle
And you were sitting there
The moment lasted forever
The reefer round this time
I took the hit and passed it on
Inside I nearly cried
When I think about the friends I've had
Forgotten faces in a crowd
The many times I've bared my soul
I've grown this old, I've cried out loud
I looked at you, you sat in shock
I looked at you, you sat in shock
My drifting nature has got to stop
My drifting nature's got to stop
I wrote a song for you
You'd call me for no reason
Talk about TV and food
We used to be the best of friends
You read my horoscope
You said I wasn't anal enough to be a Virgo
I said that's what I hoped
I admitted I was scared to you
I said I couldn't sleep
I told my jokes and they were bad
You laughed to humour me
We used to be the best of friends
We flirted but no more
Sometimes we'd drop each other hints
That we would both ignore
But now we're not the best of friends
We said we'd always be
There was a night I should've kissed you
That blame belongs to me
'Cos you got a boyfriend, got a life
I guess he took my place
I started speaking to you less and less
Till you were just another face
But sometimes our eyes meet
Sometimes we look around
Then one of us will look away
I usually look down
The other night I was hanging out
Red eyes, wet hair
I looked across the circle
And you were sitting there
The moment lasted forever
The reefer round this time
I took the hit and passed it on
Inside I nearly cried
When I think about the friends I've had
Forgotten faces in a crowd
The many times I've bared my soul
I've grown this old, I've cried out loud
I looked at you, you sat in shock
I looked at you, you sat in shock
My drifting nature has got to stop
My drifting nature's got to stop
2 Sisters lyrics - ben lee
On the TV there's a picture frame with two separate photos in it
My two sisters that's just about the closest they've been
My folks will tell you they've been that way forever
I can't remember the last time they were in the same room together
You'll hear stories about how they used to fight
Screaming slamming doors keep the neighbors up at night
And me their evil baby child brother
Just about the last thing they have in common with each other
Two sisters everything is awkward, tense
Don't know each other and it doesn't make sense at all
Two sisters both led lives extreme
Tried to erase any similarities
Married, single, secure, a floating balloon
Tried to forget the fact that they both came from the same womb
Two sisters a deadly combination
Avoid it at all costs it's not worth the frustration
Maybe a brother and a sister would be best for all
Two sisters had so much in common
Now they don't know each other at all
You thought that they'd grow closer with age
You were mistaken, they'll go to their graves apart
Not regretting what they didn't do
Never missing the sister that they never knew
Maybe the friendly sibling myth is a scam
I don't know any siblings that walk around holding hands
Maybe we all expect too much of them
Not only to be sisters but also to be friends
Maybe two sisters need to fight scream and weep
Maybe if two sisters don't fight
Then two sisters will never speak
Keep your theories and parent psychology
It doesn't hold with me
A frame with two separate photos in it
Is the closest that my two sisters have been
A frame with two separate photos in it
Is the closest that my two sisters have been
A frame with two separate photos in it
A frame with two separate photos in it
My two sisters that's just about the closest they've been
My folks will tell you they've been that way forever
I can't remember the last time they were in the same room together
You'll hear stories about how they used to fight
Screaming slamming doors keep the neighbors up at night
And me their evil baby child brother
Just about the last thing they have in common with each other
Two sisters everything is awkward, tense
Don't know each other and it doesn't make sense at all
Two sisters both led lives extreme
Tried to erase any similarities
Married, single, secure, a floating balloon
Tried to forget the fact that they both came from the same womb
Two sisters a deadly combination
Avoid it at all costs it's not worth the frustration
Maybe a brother and a sister would be best for all
Two sisters had so much in common
Now they don't know each other at all
You thought that they'd grow closer with age
You were mistaken, they'll go to their graves apart
Not regretting what they didn't do
Never missing the sister that they never knew
Maybe the friendly sibling myth is a scam
I don't know any siblings that walk around holding hands
Maybe we all expect too much of them
Not only to be sisters but also to be friends
Maybe two sisters need to fight scream and weep
Maybe if two sisters don't fight
Then two sisters will never speak
Keep your theories and parent psychology
It doesn't hold with me
A frame with two separate photos in it
Is the closest that my two sisters have been
A frame with two separate photos in it
Is the closest that my two sisters have been
A frame with two separate photos in it
A frame with two separate photos in it
A Month Today lyrics - ben lee
Just 18 I've seen the world
Done more than some their whole lives unfold
Still at school just saving face
But a month today I'll be leaving this place
I've lived a million lives so far
But I'm still naive and a broken heart
I feel like I've heard it all before
With a whole life ahead to hear a whole lot more
You wouldn't believe half the things I've seen
Way too much for just 18
I've written songs about them all so far
And played them all on an acoustic guitar
Life is good, it's been alright to me
I've recorded my heart on a couple LPs
It all comes down to the same old thing
Trying to find someone to share it with
I'm lost, I know that the world is weird
I'm swimming in waters that I used to fear
Crazy things have made me kind of tough
Sometimes I think that I've seen too much
Just 18 I've seen the world
Done more than some their whole lives unfold
Still at school just saving face
But a month today I'll be leaving this place
But a month today I'll be leaving this place
Done more than some their whole lives unfold
Still at school just saving face
But a month today I'll be leaving this place
I've lived a million lives so far
But I'm still naive and a broken heart
I feel like I've heard it all before
With a whole life ahead to hear a whole lot more
You wouldn't believe half the things I've seen
Way too much for just 18
I've written songs about them all so far
And played them all on an acoustic guitar
Life is good, it's been alright to me
I've recorded my heart on a couple LPs
It all comes down to the same old thing
Trying to find someone to share it with
I'm lost, I know that the world is weird
I'm swimming in waters that I used to fear
Crazy things have made me kind of tough
Sometimes I think that I've seen too much
Just 18 I've seen the world
Done more than some their whole lives unfold
Still at school just saving face
But a month today I'll be leaving this place
But a month today I'll be leaving this place
Household Name lyrics - ben lee
Michael J. Fox was a household name
In 1985
And what about young Mallory
And all of the Family Ties?
I hear they all robbed liquor stores
And are in jail now for life
Kirk Cameron had Growing Pains
Sex symbol of the year
Problem solved so squeaky clean
In half an hour clear
I hear he's been washing dishes
For the last couple of years
Laughter tracks and '80s stars
Predictable jokes
I don't have to tell you what happened
To the kids from Diff'rent Strokes
Punky Brewster's 15 minutes
Lasted for years before it got old
You're never quite so cute
And I should know
Once puberty takes its toll
And no one knows their whereabouts
What they do or what they did
Chew 'em up and spit 'em out
Like all of the Cosby kids
It's the toughest game and the hardest time
It's the longest walk on the thinnest line
Its sad and true that they love then kill
Where do they go when they die?
To the big '80s sitcom in the sky
Michael J Fox was a household name
In 1985
In 1985
And what about young Mallory
And all of the Family Ties?
I hear they all robbed liquor stores
And are in jail now for life
Kirk Cameron had Growing Pains
Sex symbol of the year
Problem solved so squeaky clean
In half an hour clear
I hear he's been washing dishes
For the last couple of years
Laughter tracks and '80s stars
Predictable jokes
I don't have to tell you what happened
To the kids from Diff'rent Strokes
Punky Brewster's 15 minutes
Lasted for years before it got old
You're never quite so cute
And I should know
Once puberty takes its toll
And no one knows their whereabouts
What they do or what they did
Chew 'em up and spit 'em out
Like all of the Cosby kids
It's the toughest game and the hardest time
It's the longest walk on the thinnest line
Its sad and true that they love then kill
Where do they go when they die?
To the big '80s sitcom in the sky
Michael J Fox was a household name

Grammercy Park Hotel lyrics - ben lee
It's 3 AM in New York
Sometime in 1995
The other half of the world
The other side
It might have been warm outside, maybe cold
Who could tell?
Three of us stumbled into room 421
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
It's 3 AM in New York
We sat for a while
We started to talk
We started to smile
Then he played a song I knew very well
3 AM in New York
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
He passed the guitar around
Over and over and over again
Till one of us broke a string
It was probably him
But the songs came out strong
They were loud, they were long
There were songs about girls, about boys
Sung a lot, screamed a lot
We made lots of noise
It's 3 AM in New York
It's the time of my life
Minstrels and maidens and heartbroken songs
Made me cry
And we were anonymous, androgynous
Bearers of truth
And the indie rock columnists would have freaked out
If they knew
It's 3 AM in New York
And I knew we were right
We were young, not so young
And in love with our lives
3 AM in New York
I went back to bed
Three lone true prophets
With songs in our heads
It's 3 AM in New York
And I just felt God
Lying awake in the dark
I was in awe
And I know in reality
It might not be true
But for three of us here in New York
It's all we could do
I know it's just songs, played on guitars
It's not rocket science, flying to Mars
And I know it's not much, but it's all that I have
To be sure that I'm real
Again and again
And If there comes a day
When my fingers don't work
Or my voice loses sound
Gives me grief, gives me hurt
Well, I swear on that day
When I lose what's worthwhile
From that day forth I never shall smile
It's 3 AM in New York
I feel fine, I feel well
Sound asleep
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
Sometime in 1995
The other half of the world
The other side
It might have been warm outside, maybe cold
Who could tell?
Three of us stumbled into room 421
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
It's 3 AM in New York
We sat for a while
We started to talk
We started to smile
Then he played a song I knew very well
3 AM in New York
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
He passed the guitar around
Over and over and over again
Till one of us broke a string

But the songs came out strong
They were loud, they were long
There were songs about girls, about boys

Long Train Ride lyrics - ben lee
I pass a town without a name
Seen through the window of a train
A boy and girl stand side by side
The train arrives, she kisses him goodbye
She turns away then steps on board
He thought he'd die but now he's sure
But as he thinks of one last thing to say
The train just rolls away
I pass a station with no sign
An old man gets on the train just in time
He used to love this town despite the rain
But since his wife died it's not been the same
He curses himself, he was weak
At his wife's grave he could not speak
But as he thinks that maybe he should stay
The train just rolls away
The driver likes his coffee strong and hot
The train he drives is everything he's not
He watches the sad people board the train
Then laughs as he pulls out and rolls away
Hits a hundred, no holding back
Then his dear train comes off the track
The news report said instant death, no pain
But who's really to say?
But who's really to say?
The train just rolled away
The train just rolls away
Seen through the window of a train
A boy and girl stand side by side
The train arrives, she kisses him goodbye
She turns away then steps on board
He thought he'd die but now he's sure
But as he thinks of one last thing to say
The train just rolls away
I pass a station with no sign
An old man gets on the train just in time
He used to love this town despite the rain
But since his wife died it's not been the same
He curses himself, he was weak
At his wife's grave he could not speak
But as he thinks that maybe he should stay
The train just rolls away
The driver likes his coffee strong and hot
The train he drives is everything he's not
He watches the sad people board the train
Then laughs as he pulls out and rolls away
Hits a hundred, no holding back
Then his dear train comes off the track
The news report said instant death, no pain
But who's really to say?
But who's really to say?
The train just rolled away
The train just rolls away
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
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?
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
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
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

Maybe I could drop a hint
I'm really awful

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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
My Guitar lyrics - ben lee
Well I know it's real uncool to say
You don't need an amp to blow me away
Don't need to turn up, plug in, or go very far
Just strum a chord on my guitar
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
Well I can take my guitar to the beach
And strum out a pop masterpiece
I work out my favourite songs
I can do it myself or play along
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
And I don't know what would happen
If I lost my guitar
I'd never find another one
Like the last one I adored
It's my guitar
And I guess that when shove comes to push
An acoustic guitar doesn't mean you're a wuss
And when I'm sick of hearing noise
I sit right down with one 'my favorite toys
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
It's my guitar
You don't need an amp to blow me away
Don't need to turn up, plug in, or go very far
Just strum a chord on my guitar
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
Well I can take my guitar to the beach
And strum out a pop masterpiece
I work out my favourite songs
I can do it myself or play along
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
And I don't know what would happen
If I lost my guitar
I'd never find another one
Like the last one I adored
It's my guitar
And I guess that when shove comes to push
An acoustic guitar doesn't mean you're a wuss
And when I'm sick of hearing noise
I sit right down with one 'my favorite toys
Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all I need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
It's my guitar
