Am Radio

Artysta: Everclear Album: N/A

"The VCR and the DVD
There wasn't none of that crap
Back in 1970

We didn't know about
A world wide web

It was a whole different game being played
Back when I was a kid

You wanna get down
In a cool way?

Just picture yourself on a beautiful day

With the big bell bottoms
And groovy long hair
Justa walking in style
With a portable CD player

No
No...you would listen
To the music on
The AM radio

Yeah...you could hear the music
The AM radio

Flashback to '72
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hanging out with nothing to do

Sometimes
We'd go driving around
In my sister's Pinto
Cruisin' with the windows rolled down

We'd listen to the radio station
We were too damn poor
To buy the 8 track tapes

There wasn't any good time
To want to be inside
My mom would want to watch that TV all night

I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song

You'd have to wait
But you could hear it
On the AM radio

Yeah...you could hear the music
On the AM radio

I can still hear mama say
"Boy...Turn that radio down!"

Things changed back in '75
We were all growing up
On the in
And the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted
Getting high
In the back of my friend's van

I remember 1977
I started going to concerts
And I saw the Led Zeppelin
I got a guitar
On a Christmas day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page
Would come to Santa Monica
And teach me to play

There isn't any other place that I need to go
There isn't anything that I need to know
That I did not learn from the radio

Yeah when things get stupid
And I just don't know
Where to find my happy

I listen to the music
From the AM radio

(You could hear the music
On the AM radio)

(You could hear the music
On the AM radio)

I like pop and I like soul
I like rock
But I never liked disco

(On the AM radio)

We like pop...We like soul
We like to rock
But we never liked disco

(On the AM radio)

I never liked disco...no I never liked disco

Amphetamine

Artysta: Everclear Album: N/A

"She came out west
To find the sun
She lost her name
But found a new one
Amy goes to school all day
But at night in the neighborhood
They call her Amphetamine

She is perfect inthat fucked up way
That all the magazines
Seem to want to glorify these days

She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like she used to be happy with
The girl inside

She looks so bored sometimes
She has that super pale skin
And those soft green eyes
She looks like she could have been happy
In a better life

She came out west
Just to break away clean
From her family and friends
And a little girl's dream
All she wants to do every night
Is to sit beside my window
And listen to the sirens

She is perfect in that fucked up way
That all the magazines
Seem to want to glorify these days

She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like she could have been happy
In another life
In another life

She came out west
Just to break the spell
After three long years
In a marriage from hell
Six months clean
Living sober and right
The doctors tell her
Everything will be alright

Yeah

Learning How To Smile

Artysta: Everclear Album: N/A

"Five miles outside of Vegas when
we broke down
Threw my keys into that window
and we never looked back

We got all drunk and sloppy on a
Greyhound bus
We passed out cold so
All the losers
They were laughing at us

I will never let them break
your heart
I will never let them break me

We got lost in Phoenix
seemed like such a long time
Seven months of living swimming
On those thin white lines

I did some time
for selling acid to the wrong guy
Life just keeps on getting smaller
And we never ask why

Why there is no perfect place
Yes I know this is true
I'm just learning how to smile
And that's not easy to do

I know there will come a day
When we can leave
And just go running away

(ooh yeah)

we were broke outside of Philly
when the storms came
I was working in New Jersey
Hitching rides in the rain

You was happy talking dirty
at that phone sex place
Life just keeps on getting
weirder for us every day

You say there is no perfect place
I say I know this is true
We are just learning how to smile
And that's not easy to do

We both live for the day
When we can
Run away
Ah baby we can leave
And run away
We can leave this place
And run away
We can leave it all behind
Just like we do everytime

Yes we both live for the day
When we can leave
And just go running away

No I will never let it break
your heart
No I will never let it break me

Five miles outside of Vegas
Five years down the line
We got married in the desert
In the sunshine

I can't handle all the hell
That happens everyday
When you smile and touch my face
You make it all just go away

Yes I know there ain't no
finish line
I know this never ends
We are just learning how to fall
And climb back up again

I know there is nothing perfect
I know there is nothing new
We are just learning
how to live together
me and you

You know I live for the day
When you say

Annabella's Song

Artysta: Everclear Album: N/A

"I see you roll your eyes
you know it makes me smile
you are like the sun to me
all bright like liquid fire
I feel so powerless
to hold you up above the world
you are quite alot of trouble
such a pretty little girl
You know I'm never home
I'm always miles and miles away
I feel I'm running out of time
say the things I need to say
I call you on the telephone
you will not talk to me
you just dont understand
you are my everything
Anna Anna
Tell me what you want
tell me what you need
Anna Anna you are never alone
You are never alone
*chorus*
I like to watch you play
when you dont know i'm there
watch you when you sleep at night
reach out and touch your hair
i want to make this world be all you want it to be
yeah you just dont understand
you are my everything
*chorus*
Anna you are never alone
"

"This is a song about Spike
He is a bad ass guy
Who just happens to be
A really good friend of mine

Everyone I know
