London 01:40
When I was a gloomy high school kid Nothing was fun, empty days After graduation I decided to move so far away *London, London, London Where I am gonna go London, London, London There tonight Though there are lots of great culture in L.A. London's a kind of wonderland The city of fog No surfin' bands But they've got mod scooters (*Repeat) A little stupid Jap gets around with an Oyster Card I can go, go anywhere From North to South East to West Why don't we meet up at Camden Town? No purpose, just hang around Take me to The 100 Club I want to go underground (*Repeatx2)

Introvert 02:01
Guess I'm an introvert Every one seems to laugh at me I have no dream Believe in nothing It's stupid being negative Found the one I really love She's the only one She's nice to me Hey who the fuck is the bastard? Who's always next to her *And you might think I'm going crazy Cos they've been going out Why do people look so happy? They say I'm going mad The fire in my heart's still burning But you are blowing out Baby nothing in my life goes well Ain't I an introvert? Now no one seems to laugh at me No, they just don't even notice As if I did not exist (*Repeatx2)

She's the one I really like I know I can't make her mine after all She's got hundreds of frienfds And I'm always alone at school Sometimes she calls my name It makes me feel like she's such a slut I never call her name Cos she does it to everyone *Yesterday I heard a rumor That she might be in love with you, boy I know it's true You're definitely cool **There she goes again I'm not the one she's got a crush on My life's such a mess I'm not the one she's got a crush on God that's so unfair I'm not the one she's got a crush on I'm not the one She's got a crush on you I like girls I'm not gay I just don't know how to talk to them Other guys know how And they think I'm a crazy nerd Sometimes she holds my hand It makes me feel like she's such a bitch I never hold her hand Cos she does it to everyone (*Repeat) (**Repeat) I'm not the one she's got a crush on I'm not the one she's got a crush on I'm not the one She's got a crush on you

Oh Girl 02:12
Whenever we have a row You say we really don't feel the same way It used to let me down Now I understand what you say *I know you still wanna be with me Perhaps I'd rather be But I've made up my mind Please forgive me **Oh girl You know I never meant to make you cry Oh girl You know I never meant to make you cry Fallen leaves on the road Winter has certainly come to town The street trees turned yellow It's sad to see them being dead Don't worry about me Just leave me be You know it's all cos of me Hate myself for being stubborn It makes me sick (**Repeat) (*Repeat) (**Repeat) Oh girl...
5.
Starway 02:14
Have you seen my new guitar that is half-cutaway? I got it recently paying 200 dollars on ebay *I'm okay if everyone says it looks weird I don't care if everyone says it sounds cheap I won't say that others are better Cause I've got my Starway Red colored body, short scale length And it has a thin neck Maybe it's much lighter than Steinberger and ZO-3 (*Repeat) Originally it only had a neck pickup sounded dull Then I added a P-90 to the bridge position I might be stupid but I'll use it long, you know Cause I get a kick out of the noise on my back (*Repeat)
6.
*She won't spread it She won't spread it One day she stole my heart I hope she's not somebody's girl She won't let me wonder Cos she's been a good daughter Oh she's the one And there is no one else She knows my secret And never tells anyone as a rumor Always on my side So don't bother her (*Repeat) She became an ice cream vendor And says she's happy with that Says she can have a little when it's left She's so sweet and tender Always does people a favor Expecting no one to return it at all (*Repeat) Because she won't spread it She won't spread it She keeps my secret like nobody does You know, she keeps my secret like nobody does
7.
If I ever hurt you I should've known What happend while I was stoned? Never gonna let you down Shall we start all over again Every word I say you don't want to hear I don't know how the words should be Never gonna let you down Shall we start all over again *You know, whenever you say "see you later" I hope everything will be alright I like your smiling face Don't wanna hear your good-bye **And you know Never gonna let you down Shall we start all over again Never gonna let you down Shall we start all over again (*Repeat) (**Repeat) I'm never gonna let you down Shall we start all over again I'm never gonna let you down Shall we start all over again

Don't you know that I'm kind of sad Cos you have gone Just pretend I'm alright But everyone gets a kick out of being alone I don't know why *All I wanna do is be with you And your mind is back to front I think I'm falling in love with you again Off you pop Your boyfriend is waiting at home With the special gift and enough wine Bet you're gonna have a good time with the loved one Oh you fucking swine (*Repeat) Told you so Better not go to the fucking gym Cos you're already slim And just take off your fake nails Cos they will stab my skin Gave up on you once before But can't hide my feelings for you They never fade away Now you know that I'm kind of sad Cos you have gone Never pretend I'm alright Wouldn't it be nice If we could go on a trip to Isle of Wight (*Repeat) Think I'm falling in love again You bitch!

*I always look up to sidewalk surfers Cos I can't ride it so well Here comes the summer I'm not a surfer And girls never come to me **Looking back on my life I've had nothing good since I'm all alone I live so far away from any beach I gotta do it in the road "You're getting better" "I'll see you later" Your words are still stuck in my head Yeah, I'm a rider Ollie down stairs Spending a lot of time falling My dad gets mad And says "it's a silly way to get around You'd better not" But I know he used to have it, man He used to ride around ***When the sun comes out and the sky is clear When the sidewalk surfers cruisin' down the street Let me take you to the park Just come and watch me ride Friends give me a thumbs-up when I try a trick That's what sidewalk surfers always get a kick Well I don't care if I'm bad Though my arms and legs hurt ****I don't know where I'm going Dude, this will be an uncertain journey But I'll be having fun with my board (*Repeat) (**Repeat) (***Repeat) (****Repeatx2)

Looking at my ugly face I don't know who I am In the mirror there's a dead fish Staring at my face Til I saw her in a band My life was such a mess Spikey red and yellow hair She ain't crazy, oh yeah She's alright *Cyndi is a punk I wish she was beside me Oh, sweet Cyndi is a punk Now I want her so bad Cyndi looks good on the stage Her voice's like an angel You say she's too eccentric Hey you suck I'll kick your ass No one can compare with her And you're just a bitch She changed me And I'll never be lazy again It's alright (*Repeat) She's alright (*Repeat) It's alright (*Repeat)

Don't worry, you'll be fine I used to envy you And think you were lucky Surrounded by lots of toys I had only an Ultraman doll You even had the enemies I'm sorry Don't worry, you'll be fine No one can hurt such an innocent like you Protected by mom and dad Every time we played in your room Sometimes I hoped we could go outside I'm sorry Well, I er, used to take it for granted That we'd grow up eventually But maybe you had known that we are different Now I'm lonely Don't worry, you'll be fine Don't go We've truly found our treasure, my freind Last night I had a dream That we were driving down route 16 As I get older I lose many things But you'll never disappear I'm sorry Don't worry, you'll be fine Don't go It's hard to find new treasure instead Sorry, I haven't seen ya for a long time So I will Sometimes I wish you were here Growing up and drinking beer with me I'm sorry Don't worry, you'll be fine I'm sorry Don't worry, you'll be fine I'm sorry So lonely

Robinson's Street Whoa I feel like nothing's good enough When I look back on the past In my little world I thought nothing would ever change Woke up in a cold sweat It's really tough to get it outta my mind Got some troubles that never turn out good *Baby, we've walked a long long way Maybe it's time to go your way The wind just passes by I wanna cry **Cos Robinson's street is no longer here There was the flat you used to live (in) Left there all my apologies Feeling so alone tonight Whoa I would feel everything's good enough If I went back to the past Now I really know how you felt Just wanna say sorry (*Repeat) (**Repeat) To-to-tonight I will have a sleepless night I wish you were here like the good old days
