Down In the city
(R. Nelsen, B. Crace)
I've got a feeling coming near me and you can't even hear me
Got a one track mind, can't think clearly
I'm always walking round with my head in a whirl
I'm always walking round with pretty girls
And you, You ain't gonna see my face again
You ain't gonna hear me cry in vain
And my heart wont be destroyed by you
And I'll never ever fall in love again
I’m down in the city and I’m feeling so pretty
I’m a loveless fool no one will be with me
I’m always at the bar with my heart in a glass
Nothing good ever seems to last oh no
You ain't gonna see my face again
You ain't gonna hear me cry in vain
And my heart wont be destroyed by you
And I'll never ever fall in love again
Oh no
No I'll never ever fall in love again
Oh no
No I'll never ever fall in love
No I'll never ever fall in love
No I'll never ever fall in love
No I'll never ever fall in love again

Modern Cinderella
(R. Nelsen)
I'm an inner city fella you’re a modern Cinderella
And I've been having wet dreams over you
I've seen the way that you twist and your red lipstick
And I just don’t know what to do
Please girl please, stay with me
Tonight's for lovers like us
And you don’t seem to love like me
So I'm heading home on the bus
Oh no I'm heading home on the bus
I've been having these dreams and plotting these schemes
Over how I'm getting back to you
I've been laying in my bed with you in my head
And now my hand is sore for an hour or two
Please girl please, stay with me
Tonight's for lovers like us
And you don’t seem to love like me
So I'm heading home on the bus
Oh no I'm heading home on the bus
I'm heading home on the bus
Yeah, I'm heading home on the bus
Please girl please, stay with me
Tonight's for lovers like us
But you don’t seem to love like me
So I'm heading home on the bus
Oh no I'm heading home on the bus
Oh no I'm heading home on the bus
Oh no I'm heading home
I'm heading home on the bus

Waiting Around
(R. Nelsen, J. Nelsen)
I won't be waiting around
I won't be waiting around
Saw your picture baby
Looking through my photographs
Told me that you loved me
And that it was made to last
But you don't love me now
You don't want me around
You'll soon find out
What despair is all about
And I won't be waiting around
For when you come
Coming around
You've been gone some time now
And I'm getting over you
I'm just looking for a little lust
In a port in the storm or two
But you don't love me now
You don't want me around
You'll soon find out
What despair is all about
And I won't be waiting around
For when you come
Coming around
But you don't love me now
You don't want me around
You'll soon find out
What despair is all about
And I won't be waiting around
For when you come
Coming around
Waiting around

Sleeping Alone
(B. Crace)
Hey baby, well I'm so excited summer's finally come
and all night and day we will be having fun
but lately you've been slowly moving right away from me
you know now I see how lonely love can be
Well, looks like tonight I'm sleeping alone
and it's all because you didn't answer the phone
it's hard to sleep with dreams of you in my head
you know it's cold on the other side of my bed
Hey lady you know I hope you're happy right by your new man
I couldn't see at first but now I understand
it's crazy that just yesterday you were right by my side
you know it tore me up when I found out you lied
Yeah, looks like tonight I'm sleeping alone
and it's all because you wouldn't answer the phone
and I can't sleep with you runnin' round in my head
you know it's cold on the other side of my bed
Babe, looks like tonight I'm sleeping alone
but I don't really care you didn't answer the phone
there's no sleep for me when I'm getting some head
it's still cold on the other side of my bed
Yeah, looks like tonight I'm sleeping alone
and it's all because you wouldn't answer the phone
and I can't sleep with you runnin' round in my head
well you know it's cold on the other side of my bed

Forget It!
(D. Berkham)
Don't think that those games will work on me now
It's happened so many times I know every step how
Convincing words let me demonstrate
While you lead me and then you take away
My heart
Don't come running, crying back to me girl
You had your bricks and you dropped them all on me girl
Wasting time always on my mind
Cause you kissed me and then you took away
My heart
What was the point in everything you said?
Why can't I get you out of my head?
You stole my heart
Forget about it girl

I Think I'm in Love
(R. Nelsen)
I start losing my breath when I get too close to you
Got me tripping on words and I don't know what to do
But I think I'm gonna take the chance
And ask you out to Fridays dance
Ooh baby I think I'm in love with you
Goin ooh baby I think I'm in love with you
Took my question and answered yes
We danced all night and got no rest
Then we went back to my place yes
Where we sang a different song
Ooh baby I think I'm in love with you
Goin ooh baby I think I'm in love with you
The next morning I woke up late
Tried to take you out on another date
But You'd already gone away
And you were with another man
Ooh baby don't think I'm in love with you
Goin ooh baby don't think I'm in love with you

(R. Nelsen)
When I saw you by the corner store

Be True
(R. Nelsen, B. Crace, J. Nelsen)
Well I've been waiting for my whole life
And I need to find a girl like you
Now that I've got you I ain't letting go of you
I've been drinking for a couple nights
And I still can't get over you
Told me that you love me but you think that I've been being untrue
So please be true
Be true
Please be true to me now
And don't stray away
Oh no no no
Every time I hear your name it brings me back to the day
That we held each other on the sands of Rockaway
Now I'm sitting here with sand in my ass
And a puppy dog tear in my eye
Told me that you love me but all you do is make me cry
So please be true
Be true
Please be true to me now
And don't stray away
Oh no no no

Wouldn’t last
(R. Nelsen, B. Crace)
Watching movies and reading the paper
But I can’t get you out of my mind
Counting seconds on the clock
Like a jailbird doing time
They’re never gonna take
Never gonna take
Never gonna take
Take you away from me
Walking down the streets of Portland
Under the sky's of grey
I'm looking over the water front
Hearing my lover say
They’re never gonna take
Never gonna take
Never gonna take
Take you away from me
Take you away From me girl
Oh no
Fall is gone and you left with it
I knew that it wouldn’t last
It was fun and it was great
But now it’s all in the past
They’re never gonna take
Never gonna take
Never gonna take
Take you away
Never gonna take
Never gonna take
Never take you away from me

Alone In the dark
(R. Nelsen)
Nights grew longer and the days got shorter as we walked down the way
Holding hands and skipping stones, never thought it would end this way
But you packed your bags and your moving away
You left me stranded Begging, you wouldn't stay
You wont come back no no no way
And baby I'm alone in the dark
I'm alone
Alone in the dark
I'm alone
Alone in the dark
I'm alone
Alone in the dark
With no one
Since you left things got better there’s new girls coming around
Singing songs and getting drunk Running around the town
And then I saw you right across the street
I smirked, you waved back at me
You’re so sad I'm so happy and baby
Now your alone in the dark
You're alone
Alone in the dark
You're alone
Alone in the dark
You're alone
Alone in the dark
With no one
You packed your bags and you're moving away
You left me stranded begging, you wouldn't stay
You wont come back no no no way
And baby now you're alone in the dark
You're alone
Alone in the dark
You're alone
Alone in the dark
You're alone
Alone in the dark
With no one
You're alone
Alone in the dark
You're alone
Alone in the dark
You're alone
Alone in the dark
With no one
And it's no fun

Girl
(J. Nelsen)
Girl, I wanna know your name
and do you feel the same way that I do
When I see your face
When I see your face
And girl, I wanna hold your hand
I wanna make a stand with you right now
When I see your face
Your pretty little face
And we've got something here and now
I don't know what it is, I don't know how
We are ever gonna make it through the night
And girl, I wanna know your name
and do you feel the same way that I do
When I see your face
When I see your face
And girl, I wanna hold your hand
I wanna make a stand with you right now
When I see your face
Your pretty little face
And we've got something here and now
I don't know what it is, I don't know how
We are ever gonna make it through the night
Girl

Such A Bore
(R. Nelsen)
Well the days are cold
And everything's the same
Nothing new to do
And nothing new to sing oh yeah
And baby I'm getting sick
Sick of teenage boredom
There's nothing anymore
You're such a bore
Well I'm so tired of being here alone
Boredom's taking over
And I'm sitting by my telephone oh yeah
And baby I'm getting sick
Sick of teenage boredom
There's nothing anymore
You're such a bore
Such a bore now
You're such a bore
You're such a bore now
Don't want you coming around here anymore
Cause you're such a bore
And baby I'm getting sick
Sick of teenage boredom
There's nothing anymore
You're such a bore
