Living In Tupperware
02:45

I'm living in Tupperware
I just wish-they'd let out-some air
'Cause I'm sick of being vacuum packed
Underneath this pat-ten-ted burp cap
I'm living in Tupperware
I dream of the day that I'll be free
'Cause I've lost my usefulness
In the back of the fridge is where you'll find me
BRIDGE:
I'm not the same little casserole that I used to be
The other Tupperware kids laugh and tease
But they have no freedom fears
They're so glad I hear them cheer
But I've been here for years
Yeah, I've been here for years
-->INSTRUMENTAL<--
I've turned green with envy
Still they don't-seem to see
That I'm living in Tupperware
And all I want is to be free
I'm living in Tupperware
And I've been here for years
Yeah I've been here for years

Better Off

I'm so happy that you left me
Now I don't have to do your laundry
And if you asked I wouldn't cook you dinner
You're gonna end up so much thinner
I'm so happy that you're gone
Now me and my sister get along
I'm everything I want to be
With you I'd lost all sight of me
BRIDGE: Everybody thinks that I'm insane
They think I should be mourning
Locked inside a world of pain
But I realized the problem was just you
Now that you're gone I'll do things
I never thought I'd do
INSTRUMENTAL
I'm so happy that you dumped me
I bet your girlfriend's happy too
She can wait by the phone
While I go out dancing
She can wait all night
But it'll never ring
Bridge
I hope you're happy with your girlfriend
She doesn't know how happy she can be
I'm so happy that you left me
Now I'm everything I want to be

Ode to Max

I sit alone
I want to come with her
She starts to go
I want to go, dear sir
I don't want to stay here
When I'm sworn to protect and persevere
Why must you keep me on a leash?
You pull me down
And I start to cry
I wear a frown
Almost want to die
You pull the chain
And I start to complain
Why must you keep me on a leash?
I'm not hurting no one
Is it true you want to get rid of me
I'm not having any fun
It's time I made you see
Why must you keep me on a le--ash?
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE:
And all I ever did for you
Is just what you wanted me to
And all I ever learned in school
Was just enough to break the rules
INSTRUMENTAL
Why tell me to sit
There's no one here anyway
Why tell me to stay
There's no one here anyway
Why must you keep me on a leash?
Why must you keep me on a leash?
Go to verse 1
Go to bridge
Why must you keep me on a leash?

Road Trip Through Europe

Quit your day job, win the lottery
Just how hard can it be,
--Road trip through Europe
Learn to drive all over again
C=mon girls, let's go meet some men
On a road trip... through Europe
See the sites or drive the co-u-n-try
Just you and me
And the two girls in the back seat
You can take a nap while I try to drive
On the left side, singing Ben Folds Five
You don't have to be the one with her head on straight, spoil the fun
You don't have to be the one to tell us this can't be done
To an Irish pub we'll go
Full of Irish men, we'd get to know
Get so plastered, dance the night away
What a headache we will have the next day
You don't have to be the one who starts all the fights
You don't have to be the one, telling us this idea bites
Sing it-sing it-sing-it sing along
We'll sing those happy songs, as we're run off the road
We can go to a french cafe
Where they serve apple pie, a la mode
You don't have to be the one who has to have it her way
You don't have to be the one who forgets her purse, doesn't pay
Oooh-la-la-la-la-la
Road trip through Europe (2x)
Look how much fun we'd have
La la la
Driving through Europe.

Kill The Postman

I'm just waitin' here
Now that the time is near
For the postman to come
I'm just waitin' here
And it feels like years
Since the postman has come
It didn't come yesterday
I hope it comes today
But when I'm feelin' blue
I know what I've gotta do
Kill the postman
Yeah, Kill the postman
Before that time comes
Think I'll get out my gun
Load it with bullets-three
And when he comes a near
For a delivery (Pause)
Gonna kill the postman
Yeah the postman
And when the day us done
I'll put back my gun
Hang the body from a tree
And when it's all done
My package better come...
Or I'll kill the postman
Kill the postman

It's Snowing In L.A.
02:29
|

|
I walked to the bus stop from home
Hours passed and I started to moan
My neighbor Marcel started to yell
And the snow fell
We played in the snow until 9:00 that night
We played in the snow, had a snow ball fight
But something was strange, though I didn't complain
It's snowing in L.A.
CHORUS:
Sun shine's out
It smells like sauerkraut
I've never seen snow fall before
Sun shiny day
In the middle of May
It's snowing in L.A.
I walked home to my little blue house
Found a dead cat there, and a dead frozen mouse
I picked them up, almost wanted to cry
I threw them out, almost wanted to die
The trash man will come
Almost spit out his gum
I threw them in the garbage can
He won't like that, the garbage man
But it's snowing in L.A.

It all started that Saturday
Way back when in the month of May
I'd bought tickets a month before
I saw him standing there
With his Doc Martens and his long dark hair
I wondered where he'd been
All my life I'd been waitin' for him
CHORUS:
I fell in love in the mosh pit
He stood and smiled at me as he pushed me to the slam pit
Holding onto each other's hand
As we listened to the band
In the mosh pit, in the mosh pit
We could'a got squished in there
But in my mind I hadn't a care
We were both fightin' for the front
Some people believe in love at first sight
But now I believe in love at first bite
They lifted me right over their heads
If he wouldn't've taken me down I could'a been dead
In the mosh pit, in the mosh pit
Chorus
Instrumental
We took a stage dive
I never felt so alive
Thank God they caught us this time
When the next show rolls around
I'll be here in town
In the mosh pit, in the mosh pit
Chorus
