We all recognize that I'm the problem here
We all recognize that I'm the problem here

It's impossible to know or so it seems
What I'm supposed to do with you on anything
I know that playing this time is going to fall on me
Cause we all recognize that I'm the problem here

Can't help but feel attacked, what's that supposed to mean
I know I won't relax or act like it's no big deal
This happens all the time, it's kind of our routine
But we all recognize that I'm the problem here

We all recognize that I'm the problem here
We all recognize that I'm the problem here
We all recognize that I'm the problem here
We all recognize that I'm the problem

Can't stand the goody-two shoes but good lyrics. Should be called "twenty-one" for all the similarities.

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
And you say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way

It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
"You know, I haven't seen you around before"

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen feeling like there's nothing to figure out
Well, count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
We'll be outta here as soon as we can

And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car
And you're feeling like flying
And you're momma's waiting up and you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing 'round your room when the night ends
When the night ends

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin 'round
But in your life you'll do things greater than
Dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now

Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind and we both cried

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall
I've found time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen

Your very first day
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors

He was feeling invulnerable
That was foolish but wonderful
But of course the first one was always free
He's got one wrist in heaven, one ankle in hell
Somebody pushed or he just fell
He's riding the subway watching the lights play
red yellow green he's always somewhere in between
the station he wants, the station he needs,
and the station where the chickenhawks come to feed

Since the worm turned he's learned
This apple's a blood-filled tear
And he falls down laughing, he falls down laughing
He falls down and he disappears

First he tried to be pure now he just wants a cure
He's wasted, his skin's sore, he's flat-out poor
When you live in doubt that's when your luck runs out
He's on the roof alone, outside the zone
Now he's on the street again when he calls him then
Billy just cannot resist
Now he's an orphan sleeping with the coffins
Just like Oliver Twist

Since the worm turned he's learned
This apple's a blood-filled tear
And he falls down laughing, he falls down laughing
He falls down and he disappears

Billy's tired of the lies, he's turning every fire
Looking for his own past
He's limping in the water searching for the quarter
Inch of clarity
His future is raining blood like stars
He's fallen so far behind
He might as well be blind

Watching late-night film noir inside of stolen cars
His tongue stuck frozen to the monkey bars
His ladder lost its rungs, Billy speaks in tongues
Every time he's in the clear his past looks back and sneers

Since the worm turned he's learned
This apple's a blood-filled tear
And he falls down laughing, he falls down laughing
He falls down and he disappears

Dear deer
I am writing you a letter
In the hopes that you'll know better
Not to go in the woods in Pennsylvania
'Cause my dad's in a tree waiting to kill ya
Just be warned

Some say
Dream until tomorrow
That I'll wash away your sorrow
But I'm telling you to not sleep with your eyes closed
If you do you'll end up sitting in a pot roast
It's not fair

Some say Pennsylvania's sunny
But I prefer to say it's gunny
Okay maybe that's not funny
But either way it's way too punny
I know
Okay

Dear deer
New Jersey just might suit you
Because there they cannot shoot you
But the exit signs and turnpikes are just not fun
But better than a man holding a shotgun
Don't you think?

I'm just writing to remind you
That an orange man will find you
And sneak up right behind you
To seal the fate that's been assigned to you

Just know
That your population is stringy
And the Pennsylvania thinking is just backwards
It'll leave you cold and melted on a placard
It's not fair

Deer I hope that you can hear me
'Cause I think of you so dearly
So I'll write each sentence clearly
And I'll sign it with sincerely,
K-A-T-E
Kate!

Would you just like to tell us how you began creating disco?

It was the mid '70s.
I was a virtually unknown producer at the time and I was conducting various sonic experiments with the assitance of Mary, my wife.
Anyway, during one session I discovered that by using a succession of techniques I actually developed during the war,
I could create an entirely new genre of music.
And that was the night I created disco.

Would you just like to tell us how you began creating disco disco disco disco disco?

Like a fish plucked from the ocean
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that I was different
Often fled into a dream

I ignored the raging currents
Up against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am?

Like an odd, exotic creature
On display inside a zoo
Hearing children asking questions
Makes me ask some questions too

Could we bend the laws of nature?
Could a lion love a lamb?
Who could see beyond this surface?
Who will love me as I am?

Who will ever call to say "I love you"?
Send me flowers or a telegram?
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?

Like a clown whose tears cause laughter
Trapped inside the center ring

Even seeing smiling faces
I am lonely pondering

Who would want to join this madness?
Who would change my monogram?
Who will be part of my circus?
Who will love me as I am?

Who will ever call to say "I love you"?
Send me flowers or a telegram?
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?

Get a real job
Keep the wind at your back and the sun on your face
All the immediate unknowns
Are better than knowing this tired and lonely fate
Does he love you?
Does he love you?
Will he hold your tiny face in his hands?

I guess it's spring, I didn't know
It's always seventy-five with no melting snow
A married man, he visits me
I receive his letters in the mail twice a week

And I think he loves me
And when he leaves her
He's coming out to California

I guess it all worked out
There's a ring on your finger and the baby's due out
You share a place by the park
And run a shop for antiques downtown

And he loves you
Yeah he loves you
And the two of you will soon become three
And he loves you
Even though you
Used to say you were flawed if you weren't free

Let's not forget ourselves good friend
You and I were almost dead
And you're better off for leaving
Yeah you're better off for leaving

Late at night
I get the phone
You're at the shop sobbing all alone
Your confession it's coming out
You only married him
You felt your time was running out

But now you love him
And your baby
At last you are complete
But he's distant and you found him
On the phone pleading, saying, 'baby I love you'
And I'll leave her and I'm coming out to California"

Let's not forget ourselves good friend
I am flawed if I'm not free
And your husband will never leave you
He will never leave you for me

Looking through tunes today, I came across this. The irony in combination with the last is just too much to resist. Sorry about the double post.

Take me away to January
I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here
I just need some time alone
Before I'm ready to come back home
There's gotta be something else out there for me
I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream
There's more than this Midwestern town
I can't let this place keep me down

So I tell myself

"There's a girl out on the coast of California,
There's a world out there and it's waiting for you."
And I can hear them calling my name tonight.

Take me away, I need the sand and the waves
The sunset and let's not forget those warm autumn days
I just need to get out of here
And visit the coast just to see her
There's gotta be something else out there for me
I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream
There's more than this Midwestern town
I can't let this place keep me down

So I tell myself

"There's a girl out on the coast of California,
There's a world out there and it's waiting for you."
And I can hear them calling my name tonight.

Take me away to January
I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here
I just need some time alone
Before I'm ready to come back home
