"Oooh La-La!" (2010)

Songbird lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I listened to a bird that told me all
He seemed to make no sense as I recall
I listened to the bees, their buzzing sounds
Told nothing of the purpose of their rounds

The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill

I looked out at the trees that gently swayed
They didn't need to know how they were made
I wondered if the world kept something hid
Denied to me, for something that I did

The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill

I listened to a bird that told me all
He seemed to make no sense as I recall
So far I haven't heard a songbird sing
A single verse that told me anything

The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
The flowers purpose on the hill

You Said You'd Meet Me (In California) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

You said you'd meet me in California
You said you'd meet me in California
Out on the ocean the mermaids are singing
Out on the ocean the sirens are calling
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me

You said you'd live here, you said you'd love me
You said we'd stay here, and make a family
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me

Token affections, deep in the night
Promises whispered, then parting at light
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me

Out on the ocean the mermaids are singing
Out on the ocean the sirens are calling
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me

Token affections, deep in the night
Promises whispered, then parting at light
You said you'd meet me
You said you'd meet me

And It's Beautiful lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

We turn out water into wine
It's something we do all the time
It doesn't cost a single dime
And it's beautiful... Yes it's beautiful

Our glasses, never just half full
The flowers vivid, colorful
And though we feel
the push and the pull
And it's beautiful...
Yes it's beautiful

And through our hearts are in the right place
And out there is the whole human race
And each one has a mask, and a face
And it's beautiful...

Enough about the look in your eyes
Enough about the sun and the sky
It will always be just you and I
And it's beautiful...
Yes it's beautiful

Paralyzed lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

One day I awakened
You left no goodbyes
You left no truth
And you left with no lies
And now it seems
That I'm paralyzed

I swam against the current
In rivers deep and wide
Oh so long - staring at the skies
And now it seems
That I'm paralyzed

I thought I had us plotted out
My chapters all revised
And now you just walk in the door
With your lips and hair and eyes
And when I see your face again
The living in me dies
The living in me dies

I had my heart down to a science
My dreams all analyzed
But here you are
With that look in your eyes
And now it seems like I'm paralyzed
And now it seems that I'm paralyzed

The In-Between Place lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I can't tell what's true
So it's harder to lie
I haven't got the proofs
My equations run dry

I'm in the in between place,
Where the seam meets the cloth
Where the lily pad's face
Shines up out of the bog

I've still got my mind
My body, and my heart
I can still be unkind
I can still come apart

I'm in the in between place,
Where the seam meets the cloth
Where the lily pad's face
Shines up out of the bog

Where the line in the sand
Is drawn with a stick
'Til the winds sweep the land
And blow the air thick

The place where the sky
Meets up with the land
Where the 1 watches 1
That it longs to command

Not Today Baby lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Well they're willing and their able
When they come over to my table
And say, "Hello, there..."
There's a Jane and a Julie
And then there's simply yours truly
Sitting alone here
They say one day I'll finally settle down

Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby

Well they pay my lots of money
Just to stand up and be funny
For an hour
Then the bees want some honey
And then oh-boy-all-of-a-suddenly
I'm their flower
They say one day I'll finally
Come around

Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby

Don't know what's comin' at me
Or who's such and such
As long as I'm this happy
I don't care, care too much

Well the show is all over
And I'm rolling in the clover all alone here
And I know you'd keep my company
But I'm really very comfy on my own, here
They say one day I'll finally stay in town

Not today, baby, cause there's
A whisper in the breeze
Can you hear, baby?
Hear it callin' out to me
So move along, baby

Heart Of Stone lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I'll never forget
The first time we met
On the beach, by the sea-
Just opened my eyes
Voila, a surprise:
You were looking at me
And I wished I owned
A heart of stone

And I knew it was over then
I knew that I was through
You don't have to believe me
But I know it's true
And when you go, and I'm all alone
I'll wish I owned that heart of stone

I was taken aback
I was thrown off my track
By your beauty and joy
The wind blew your hair
I just lay there, and stare
Like a stupid schoolboy
And I wished I owned
A heart of stone...

And I knew it was over then
I knew that I was through
You don't have to believe me
But I know it's true
And when you go, and I'm all alone
I'll wish I owned that heart of stone

Then we'd sit, holding hands
Lay so many plans
Of the places we'd go
But the years quickly passed
And then it came to the last
We never left home

And so now we are old
Both our stories are told
And we wait for the end
And if you're the first to go
I will follow you, know
That my heart will not mend
And I wish I owned
A heart of stone

Lake Bras d'Or lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

There is a path by Lake Bras d'Or
I never go there anymore
It's not the same, since you and I
The path is narrow, over-grown
The few that thread there, thread alone

A patch of land, I call my own
I planted seeds, some have grown
But weeds have choked the few remains
My crop has withered in the sun
Doomed before it had begun

I thought I read the writing on the wall
Turned out that it was just a bit of scrawl
I walked along, tasting my defeat -
There was a time when what was writ
Seemed to me clear, and full of wit

There is a path by Lake Bras d'Or
I never go there anymore
It's not the same, since you and I
The path is narrow, over-grown
The few that thread there, thread alone

What I'm Famous For lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I don't know if you've been told
If this old place is bought or sold
But I'm here now and now its mine
It's not much but it suits me fine

Call me thief or call me bum
It's squatter's rights where I come from
Don't show your face don't dark my door
Or you'll find out what I'm famous for

I'm not from here, I don't care
You can go to hell while I comb my hair
I might be right, I might be wrong
Just listen to the words of my goddamn song

Call me snake or call me rat
Its squatter's rights from where I'm at
Don't show your face, don't dark my door
Or you'll find out what I'm famous for

So stay the hell off my new land
While I pick my teeth and shoot tin cans
I'll be sittin' right out here
Workin' on my tan and drinkin' my beer

You can call my mother nasty names
It's squatter's rights from where she came
Don't show your face, don't dark my door
Or you'll find out what I'm famous for

Now You See Her lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Her sugar lips, her chinney-chin-chin
Ooh la-la - Where has she been?
Her silvery voice, her sweet perfume
The light she brings into the room
Her sunny smile when she walks the walk
Hey evil eye, her crazy talk
Her simple face, her pretty head
Her fickle heart
Her someone else instead

You'll never catch her
But you can watch her run
Sometimes you get closer
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
You'll never match her
But you can have some fun
Maybe you'll get to hold her
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't

Her shiny hair, those lacy things
Ooh la-la - Where has she been?
The music plays, she's asked to dance
But sadly, no he missed his chance
The times she's had, the men she's known
Still she prefers to be alone
Hey empty room, her lonely bed
Her fickle heart, her someone else instead

You'll never catch her
But you can watch her run
Sometimes you get closer
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't
You'll never match her
But you can have some fun
Maybe you'll get to hold her
But now you see her, now you don't
Now you see her, now you don't

When it's dark out
I want to sneak out
Drink my troubles away
Can't forget her
Wish I never met her
I still regret the day

Put A Face lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Put a face
on the page
into scenes
put a time
to a place
with a theme

Give it rhythm
meet the strict
rhyming scheme
get it down
write it out
make it seem

Into a room
that feels more
than a dream,
but a place
that we all
yearn to be

Like a real history,
Kings and Queens;
And the dawn,
As the birds start to sing,
The dust-motes
Lit up by a beam
Of the sun
Through the window
That stream

"Songs Of The Unforgiven" (2004)

Sonnet 1 (And When The Sun Goes Down) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

And when the sun goes down into the sky
Together we shall sit and we shall sup
And we shall eat, and drink the heady wine
O, let us share the overflowing cup

We'll ramble on the coast, each side by side
We'll feel the sting of bracing salty air
We'll feel the moon pull at the ocean's tide
And wonder that we are together there

One day these things shall have come to pass
And then the end will come, as so it must
No longer shall we smell the summer grass
No longer shall we know each other's trust

So let us walk, and feel the cooling breeze
Before they're just forgotten memories

And So Will Always Be lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Once I went out walking
And saw a crippled man
He couldn't raise his glass to lips
So crippled were his hands
I stopped and watched, but could not
Bring myself to lend a hand

And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me

One day I was humming
A simple melody
When I heard birds whistling their tunes
From high up in the trees
My song seemed but a trifle now
They sang so beautifully

And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me

And now I listen to wind
As I lay down to bed
The snow has just begun to fall
And cover all that's left
The tops of fences, tips of trees
And stones that mark the dead

And so it is, and so it was
And so will always be
These things will be the way they will
And I will be this me

The Unforgiven Ones lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

The guilty and the innocents
The prisoners and the free
The ugly and the beautiful
The ones who are yet to be

Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done
And then there's those like you and I
The unforgiven ones
The unforgiven ones

The rock that ships run up against
No matter how they tack
The murderers and the murdered ones
And the ones who don't come back

Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done
And then there's those like you and I
The unforgiven ones
The unforgiven ones

The one whose heart is of a saint
The other's black as night
The one who never wondered
What made something wrong, or right

Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done
And then there's those like you and I
The unforgiven ones
The unforgiven ones

Come Down To The Sinkhole lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Come down to the sinkhole
Where the mud is thick and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep

Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore

Bring a stick for wild dogs
That hunt in packs at night
Bring firepower, if you can
You might find that you have to fight

Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore

Lay down in the tall grass
Next to the sycamores
Think of those who've come and gone
Slaughtered in the many wars

Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore

Look out at the ocean
To the waters dark and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep

Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore

Is The Spell Really Broken? lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Is the spell really broken?
Has the time finally come?
Do they see it's an omen?
That it's over and done?

Have they seen the thing coming?
Or do they pretend?
Do they know that it's finally
Beginning to end?

No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves

Have the castles all crumbled
Into dust in the sky?
Have the billions been humbled?
Are they ready to die?

No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves

Have they emptied the prisons?
Have they heard the death knells?
Have they hung the last hangman
And must now hang themselves?

No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves

Everlasting Peace lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

The slow march of the army
The dragging of the boots
The laying and the waiting
Until someone starts to shoot

Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased

The slow arc of the sun that moves
Across the blazing sky
The vultures circling in the heat
Above where dying lie

Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased

The miles of green that thirst to death
The blowing of the sand
And then the creeping cold begins
And freezes all the land

Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased

Sonnet 2 (And Back In Ages Past) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

And back in ages past, when all was dark
A whirling chaos raged across the land
Survival of the cruelest left their mark
And evil came, and shook the hand of man

The brutal rampaged on their bloody way
The demons turned to gods, and gods to beasts
Unbroken cries of pain rang every day
While colder hearts prevailed, and sat to feast

And now these times approach us once again
No more will sing the solitary lark
The cruelest have returned, and they shall reign
In choking smoke and fire and endless dark

So if your heart is in it still, then stay
Remember, though, these are our final days

The Beginning Of The End lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

And when the rain begins to fall
And there's flooding in the streets
And everyone is drowning
And everyone retreats

And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end

And when the bombs begin to fall
And the fires fill the streets
And the people scream blue murder
And there's nowhere to retreat

And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end

And when the angels begin to fall
Into their fiery hell
They knew that there would be no end
But they rang their bells

And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end

You've Had Your Run lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

The cards are dealt, the bids are in
The faces, poker straight
The air is full of smoke and sweat
The men are full of hate

Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run

Start your engines, gentlemen
There's not much time to wait
Remember there's no going back
Once we open up the gate

Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run

The stakes are high, the moon is up
The drinks are flowing free
They've bet on all the horses
Now they can only wait and see

Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run
Yes, in life, you've had your run

There Is No Final Winner lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

There is no final winner
There is no final score
The men have left the playing field and play no more

The hours have been counted
The work is finally done
And now the night begins to fall on everyone

The lovers have done their loving
The murderers their task
The hunted have been snared and gagged and masked

So when you're in the graveyard
Read those names in stone
After all, you'll never get to read your own

You've Done It Once Again lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

The kill is fresh, the deed is done
You lay down in your bed
But sleep won't come, you're still too high
And thoughts race through your head

And then the guilt begins to gnaw
And your belly turns to stone
And you realize it's you that did it
You and you alone

And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again

You swore you'd not repeat your crime
You took a solitary oath
But now you're back where you began
Just you and you alone

And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again

And now you rise again from bed
And look out at the day
Regret the things that you have done
And then do them all again

And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again

Sonnet 3 (The Cold Is Here) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

The cold is here, the woods are full of snow
The river with its crusted banks of ice
Bespeak of winter drownings long ago
The chest pressed tightly, as though in a vise

The birds have flown away to warmer climes
The mammals in their caves to hibernate
The summer seems a lost and gentle time
When grass grew up against the swinging gate

The children's cheeks have turned a rosy red
The wealthy are beside their fires, warm
And then there's he who is without a bed
In which to lay and ride the raging storm

And in the graveyard, cold old bones do lie
And far above, the stars light up the sky

The Wicked And The Evil lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

There are those who kneel to worship
And beg for clemency
There are those who know the hardship
Of a conscience that'is not free

Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive

The prisoners feel the scorching sun
As they toil among the rocks
Some are grim, some resigned
But not one ever talks

Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive

The sinner knowing he has sinned
Is not saved, he is cursed
For no matter how he may repent
He's done his worst

Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive

"Puss 'n' Boots" (2003)

It's A Shame lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I wanna get you high
But I'm gonna make you cry
You'll hate me, and you'll miss me when I'm gone
It's been a little dry
But still I'm gonna try
You'll miss the stuff I get when you are gone

And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
Its gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too

I see you touch your hip
I see you bite your lip
I'll miss it, when you get to movin' on
And when I trip
On them girly strips,
They'll be just like you, or any other one

And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
It's gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too

I wanna just pretend
But I know in the end
That I will never win like this again
But if I have to choose
I think I'd rather lose
The easy way has always been my friend

And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
It's gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too

Everything Is Better With Me lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I'm gonna take you down
And I don't fool around
With no talkin'
I'll take you for a ride
I'll make you feel inside
What I'm feelin'

And I know
That you'll see
Everything is better with me
And I know
That you'll find
You can't get me out of your mind

You'll be hypnotized
By my beady little eyes
You can't help it
And in you're walking sleep
You'll feel it way down deep
And you'll want it

And I know
That you'll see
Everything is better with me
And I know
That you'll find
You can't get me out of your mind

I'll light your cigarette
And stroke your pretty head
In the mornin'
And when you're laying there
With my fingers in your hair
You'll get thinkin'

And I know
That you'll see
Everything is better with me
And I know
That you'll find
You can't get me out of your mind

Triple Master Blaster lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Make it stronger, take it faster
Fake it longer, make it last her
Natural causes, fake disasters
Teeth and claws and slaves and masters

Pull it harder, push it faster
Here it comes, here it comes
It's the Triple-master-blaster
Here it comes, here it comes

Fake the price and push it higher
Make it back and sell the buyer
Throw the ball and fetch that stick
And chase your tail until you're sick

Pull it harder, push it faster
Here it comes, here it comes
It's the Triple-master-blaster
Here it comes, here it comes

Pump the hand, close the deal
Then stuff it in and lick the seal
Turn it up and make it louder
Suck it back and feel the power

Pull it harder, push it faster
Here it comes, here it comes
It's the Triple-master-blaster
Here it comes, here it comes

I'm The Man (That You Are Not) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Here's a nasty little queen
There's a boy who loves his mother
Here's another operator
Thinkin' that he's got it covered

You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
And I'm the man
That you are not
Yeah, I'm the man
That you are not

Here's some white boy doin' time
There's one that got out
Here's another brother who seems to think
He knows what it's about

You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
And I'm the man
That you are not
Yeah, I'm the man
That you are not

I'm the one just sittin' back
Waitin' here alone
I stay inside and shut the blinds
Do everything by phone

You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
And I'm the man
That you are not
Yeah, I'm the man
That you are not

Stupid Same lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I know the guy who we can blame
I even know his middle name
I never liked his stupid games

And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me

I know the guy who we can blame
He hasn't any sense of shame
He'll always be the stupid same

And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me

I know a guy who we can nail
I've drank with him, I've had his tail
We'll send him something in the mail...

And if he tries to hunt us down
Or thinks that he can fool around
Well, we'll find him first and he will see
He'll never get to you or me
He'll never get to you or me

I'll See What I Can Do lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I could love you once or twice
I think you'd find it very nice
But then I'd have to call it quits
And tear you're little heart to bits

I think you're gonna come with me
I think you'll like it, too
And when you beg me for some more
I'll see what I can do

I could meet you once or twice
We'd drink our drinks and suck the ice
And I would pay and we would chat
And talk of this and laugh at that and

I think you're gonna come with me
I think you'll like it, too
And when you beg me for some more
I'll see what I can do

And when I take you home to play
And sing my tiny hear away
I think you're gonna like my licks
I think I'm gonna give you my itch, and

I think you're gonna come with me
I think you'll like it, too
And when you beg me for some more
I'll see what I can do
I think you're gonna come with me
I think you'll like it, too
And when you beg me for some more
I'll see what I can do

Your Gun Won't Fire lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

All that shit's in the past
But it still seems to last
When you're layin' in bed
Thinkin' 'bout what you said

So don't bother tryin'
You're whole world is wired
You can set your sights
But your gun won't fire

When the cat's in the bag
It turns out there's a snag
And it's a slap in the head
When you're tossin' in bed

So don't bother tryin'
You're whole world is wired
You can set your sights
But your gun won't fire

It's a slap in the face
When you're losin' the race
Now it's all down the crapper
There's no snap in my snapper

So don't bother tryin'
You're whole world is wired
You can set your sights
But your gun won't fire

Flying Feeling lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I'm going to the quick of the nail
I'm going to the bone
I'm gonna sharpen up my steel
I'm lookin’ for the blood in the stone

I wanna get that flyin' feelin'

And show you how good I feel

I wanna get that flyin' feelin'
I can't leave it alone
I wanna get that flyin' feelin'
I can't leave it alone

I'm gonna find my way right to that hot spot
I'm gonna be the one

I'm gonna get it done

I wanna get that flyin' feelin'
I can't leave it alone
I wanna get that flyin' feelin'
I can't leave it alone

If Ya Wanna Know lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I never realized how much I prized you
I never thought you’d do me just one time
And if I could again lay eyes upon on you
I know I'd make you want me one more time

The days are long, the nights are hot without you
I put your picture right beside my bed
When I run out of things for me to do to you
I do them all again inside my head

And if you wanna know what I wanna do
Just ask me, I'll show you
And if you think you know what I wanna do
Don’t ask me, I'll trust you

I'll bend upon my knees to help you, baby
I wanna make it easy for you too
And when I finally get to please you, baby
You’ll want to take your turn and try me too

And if you wanna know what I wanna do
Just ask me, I'll show you
And if you think you know what I wanna do
Don’t ask me, I'll trust you

I watch at night, I've trained my sights right on you
and I won’t let you get away next time
and when I finally get my hands upon you
I know I'll make you want me one more time

And if you wanna know what I wanna do
Just ask me, I'll show you
And if you think you know what I wanna do
Don't ask me, I'll trust you

Bye Bye Baby, Goodbye lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Take that back or I'll mess you up
I've had it up to here
Get back in your car and drive
And put it in high gear

Cause now you're gone,
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
I'm on my own
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
Bye-bye baby, goodbye

Take that dog and tie her up
Let the bitch bark all night
Feel your trigger finger itch
You're spoilin' for a fight

Cause now you're gone,
And I'm lovin’ it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
I'm on my own
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
Bye-bye baby, goodbye

Take that dish and reel her in
Kiss her on the head
Take that wish and put it back
Inside your silly head

Cause now you're gone,
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
I'm on my own
And I'm lovin' it
Bye-bye baby, goodbye
Bye-bye baby, goodbye

I Never Try That Hard lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I'm not that cruel, I'm not that kind
There's really nothing on my mind
Believe me
And when I'm talking in my sleep
It doesn't ever get that deep
There's not much to me

I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me

I add up all the good I've done
Then count the bad things one by one
And it evens out
And if I've had the odd regret
It’s nothing that I can't forget
To think about

I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me

I know that we won't last for long
That someone else will come along
And play his hand
And when we’re layin' in our bed
And you're wishin' he were here instead
I'll understand

I never try that hard, so everything is easy
And if I hold on tight, I only get dizzy
And if I'm left alone, I can always please me

Never Bother Looking Back lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

It felt real nice
I didn't think twice
It felt real good
Like I knew it would

And I don't care and I don't mind
If I'm unfair or you're unkind
'Cause right now I'm still kickin' back
It doesn't matter
I never bother looking back

It felt real fine
It was all mine
It's not too strong
It didn't last for long

And I don't care and I don't mind
If I'm unfair or you're unkind
'Cause right now I'm still kickin' back
It doesn't matter
I never bother looking back

It felt real good
Like I knew it should
It felt so good
Like I knew it would

And I don't care and I don't mind
If I'm unfair or you're unkind
'Cause right now I'm still kickin' back
It doesn't matter
I never bother looking back

It'll Never Leave You Alone lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

I think I'll have just one
Well, maybe just another one
Of course, the third one’s so much fun

It'll never leave you alone
And if you try and tell it to go
You'll just turn around
And bring it right back home

I think I'll have a puff
One should be enough
It shouldn’t have to be that tough

It'll never leave you alone
And if you try and tell it to go
You’ll just turn around
And bring it right back home

I think it's time for a sniff
Just a little teensy whiff
My head is howling and my bones are stiff
So would you like a hit?
Just a little teensy-weensy bit?
I think you're gonna like it

It'll never leave you alone
And if you try and tell it to go
You’ll just turn around
And bring it right back home

White Christmas lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

{The sun is shining, the grass is green
The oranges, the palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December, the twenty-fourth
And I'm longing to be up north}

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see Thee lie
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in Thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in Thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to all on earth

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in

O Holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas Angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

Jingle Bells lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

A-dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

One-horse open sleigh
One-horse open sleigh
One-horse open, one-horse open
One-horse open sleigh

In The Bleak Midwinter lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago

Angels and archangels
They have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Round in the air
For his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worship the beloved
With a kiss

In the bleak midwinter
A stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty
Jesus Christ

What can I give Him
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what I can I give him
Give my heart
Give, give my heart

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in [Incomprehensible] this Blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn
The which His mother Mary did nothing take in scorn

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father a blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born, the Son of God by name

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

The shepherds at those tidings, rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway, the Son of God to find

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

We Three Kings lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Born a king on Bethlehem plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in a stone cold tomb

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Glorious now, behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Heaven sings Alleluia
Alleluia, the earth replies

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

The First Noel lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

The first Noel, the angels did say
Unto certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King of Israel

Silent Night lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven a-far
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy Holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
