Juliana Hatfield Album

You won't meet me in the middle
Push me off the dividing line
You won't give a little
What good graces?
No explanation for your change of heart
You left the inside out
You get a little or a lot
You're either cold or you're hot
A ceiling of clouds
The tall buildings are walls
I'm walking around and I can't get out
The general fatigue of a private person trying to talk to you
You saw the movie, you don't need to read the book
A masterpiece or a piece of shit.
You're either stealing or you're taken.

You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore.
You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore.

You buy the pound just to burn it down
And watch the sleeping dogs die
Walk away unscathed
I'm going to take you off my thank-you list
"Will you ever get your shit together?"

Hookers and virgins, sluts and nuns
What if I am neither one?

You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore
You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore.

You're so down on me
I think it is a fad so I don't feel so bad anymore
You're so down on me

Dust off the instruments
Do you still know how to play?
With the pride of lions you rub me the wrong way
Stick your hand in the cookie jar, pull out bad poetry.

I want to want you
I want to want you

My face has changed
I don't look the same
A human mutation
Alienation factory
Too much information, maybe.

What a bad judge of character you were
I would fake it if I could
It would probably be for my own good
Honesty is a curse
It only makes it worse.

I want to want you
I want to want you

You're such a lucky man
Over and over again
Runs like a dream
No demons in your machine
I can't explain to you what I don't understand.

You were gonna let me go
No guts to tell me yourself
Go ahead and rub my nose in it
You can't fire me because I quit

You make me feel invisible
Well, surely you see me now
Strecthed out on the floor of your house
Foaming at the mouth
With a needle in my arm
Next to a smoking gun
And an empty razor case
And a note that says :

"Dear Jack I hate you. Love, Diane"
"Dear Jack I hate you. Love, Diane"
"Dear Jack I hate you"
I said yeah yeah yeah waouh.

The neighborhood is gonna watch me
As I create the great finale
A perfect swan dive out the window
Crash the car off the road

You're not gonna miss me
But you're gonna remember my body
Crumpled in a heap in the middle of your street.

Clean up your mess X4

Finally you're carrying me
Over the threshold try to revive me
With a cold compress but it's too late
I guess your best just isn't good enough
When every warm embrace
It was a selfish act
And every smiling face
It was a trap
You shit
You stabbed me in the back

"Dear Jack I hate you. Love, Diane"
"Dear Jack I hate you. Love, Diane"
"Dear Jack I hate you"
I said yeah yeah yeah waouh.

Baby, you come whisper at my door
What do I open it for?
I'm always happy to see your face
Even though you are disgrace.

I'm sick of sneaking around X4

Hide your smile It's broad daylight
And don't start thinking about last night
You can't say these things out loud
But I'm not leaving and I'm not proud.

I'm sick of sneaking around X4

Do me the honor of holding my hand on the plane
Take me on public transit
Express your feelings on the train
We travel together over time zones and weather
Never really touching the ground.

The only evidence I have :
Dirty pictures in my bag.
Am I ever going to see where you live?
Am I ever going to meet your kid?

The gauge is on "e"
I'm gripping the wheel
the map is so hard to read
I can't see the road
I can only see

From my hand to my mouth
From right here to the ground
But I'm too far gone to go back

Where will it end?
My weary eyes
On the space
Right in front of me.
My mind imagining
Love and empathy
Or just some company saying

Don't let go
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Don't you know I know?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Oh don't let go.

An angel takes the wheel
I climb into the backseat
And get under the blanket where sleep can bathe me in dreams
With a warm humming engine and spacemen three
Sleeping with Jesus
I just need to rest.

And I cry like a baby
Who fell out of the cradle
A feeling of release
How hard can it be
To speak clearly?

Don't let go
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Don't you know I know?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Oh don't let go.

Pull over and get out
You're down, clinging to the earth
You want the world to stop
Discover unknown reserves
Get up, brush off the dirt
Get back in

And don't let go.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Don't you know I know?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Don't let go
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...
Oh it's such a long road
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...

The Guest of honor cries
Tars of joy and pride
But someone's waiting in the wings to steal your fire
And I don't want to ruin the surprise
That your house on the beach
Will fall into the sea.

Live it up 'cause you're going down
Live it up 'cause you're going down
Live it up 'cause you're going down

This reign can't last
It'll all dry up so fast
The planets are flying past you
You think it's only natural
That the world will stop
And wait for you
And wait for you if you fall off.

Live it up 'cause you're going down
Live it up 'cause you're going down
Live it up 'cause you're going down

We fantasize of your demise
We lie in wait, we salivate
Visualizing your head on a plate.

You're sinking in the mud
They put the pedestal on
Hold on to your jewels
You can hawk them later
A variation on a theme :
You're not missing anything.

Live it up 'cause you're going down
Live it up 'cause you're going down

Wake up naked
Stretch like a panther
Throw off the covers
Run to the mirror, my lover
Admire this face
It could help to save the world
This body must be seen to be believed
My back and torso like a man ray photo
This is a scene
We are improvising me.

You are the camera
You try to seduce me
You are the camera
You love me
I make love to you
You are the camera.

I practice different smiles
I rehearse different lines
Like the perfect comeback or an eloquent speech
Let's take a walk on the street on the stage
Don't say anything
Just follow me
Don't leave
Save me for posterity
What do I want to be seen buying?
I write in my diary
Only what I want you to read.

You are the camera
A reason for living
You are the camera
I need you to need me
( I need you to justify my life )
You are the camera.

We sit down on the couch
On the left or on the right?
What is my good side?
Come in for a close-up
Fresh breath, perfect makeup
Are we gonna kiss on the mouth like I read about?
I look right at you and see myself and I'm in love.

You are the camera
A reason for living
You are the camera
In the presence of greatness
You are the camera
I disappear what you're not here

Everyone alive is a survivor
And everything's the matter
You're too young to die
In a double suicide
With the wrong guy

What of all the paths you tried to take?
To want too much way your mistake.

You're running out of reasons
You're running out of faith
And promises are nothing
They're broken as they're made.

You're running out of answers
Can't give you any more
You're running out of everything
You're running out the door.

It's not supposed to be like this
Can this be all there is?

You keep pushing your luck
Too stupid to give up
You dream bigger
You fall harder.

You think of things that should have never happened
You think of all the things that never will.

You're running out of reasons
You're running out of faith
And promises are nothing
They're broken as they're made.

You're running out of money
And you don't know how to say

I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day
I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.

I screwed it up again.
I made another friend
A desperado
Named "trouble"

He showed his gun to me
He took my money
I think I understand
What makes a boy become
A bad man.

I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day
I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.

To suffer greatly
From the indignity
Of working for a living
Why would I want to breed?

And the monotony
Driving me crazy
I shouldn't rock the boat
I think my head's about to explode.

I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.
I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.

I lost my head.
I made my bed all by myself
Now I don't sleep in it so well.

I'm taking off my dress
But you won't touch me now
This room is such a mess
I really don't know how
To be the perfect girl
But in a perfect world
I'd give you what you need
And you'd be giving me
Another chance.

I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.
I ask myself why did I run away?
I guess maybe I was having a bad day.

I lost my head.
I made my bed all by myself

This can't be real
I've never seen so much
This must be a joke.

I don't know how to feel
I haven't earned it yet
Everything fades so fast.

Let's buy a car with cash and crash it
Buy her the rock she always wanted
Throw money out the window
And watch the happy people catch it.

You can't afford to save your life
Well, I can.
I'll send you to a posh rehab
So you can get clean and it won't be so bad.
Let's buy guitars for all the kids.
I don't want to wake up wondering where it all went.

Nobody can stop us from blowing it all.
It's mine and besides, they never cared what I did.

And it doesn't matter where you go
And it doesn't matter where you are.

Nobody can stop us from blowing it all.
It's mine and besides, they never cared what I did.

Let's do it now while we still can
Before they take it away
Take it back

Check us out checking in
Ordering room service
We'll have one of everything
And we'll leave a one hundred percent tip.

Nobody can stop us from blowing it all
It's mine and, besides, they've never cared what I'm saying.

Nobody can stop us from blowing it all.
It's mine and, besides, they've never cared.

They've never cared.

I want to wear you to bed
I'm hanging on by a thread
Your tattered shirt is all I have
I make love to your monogram
Needing you is killing me
I desire apathy
I need you to hold my head
Soak up this blood with bread
Feed me 'cause I'm underfed
The heart I didn't mean to spill
It suffers from a lack of will
I can't get out of bed until
This deathly pallor is erased
By your sweet hand upon my face
Anemia
I fill my veins with nicotine
To change the nature of the need
I fill my head all up with shame
To change the flavor of the pain
These cigarettes are smoking me
I had a dream that i could sleep

Sentimental sucks
Romantic rots
Domestic death
Happiness hell
I hate people and their ugly faces
You hate things and also places
You're so mean
I'm so evil
What's the matter with me?
Nothing's the matter with me
We're the only ones
That are really free
I'm not faithful
You don't come home
I don't care
You don't share
You're so mean
I'm so evil
I don't need you
You don't call me
I don't miss you
You don't hug me
You're so mean
