Title Lyrics
Hello Resolven

Hello, Resolven
Hello to you all
Wake up the king, wake up the queen
Everybody laugh, everybody sing
It's over

Hello, Resolven
Hello to you all
Wake up the king, wake up the queen
Everybody laugh, everybody sing
It's over

Hello, Resolven
Hello to you all
Kill off the king, kill off the queen
Everybody laugh, everybody sing
It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over

A Good Man Is Easy To Kill

I would be overstating
If I said I knew you well
Or that I knew you at all
When you flew through that windshield
And your life passed reel to reel
Was there a bit part for me?

[Pre-Chorus]
I made a wish for you
Blew out the sun so it would come true
But the sun froze along with your heart

[Chorus]
So give up, give up your love
Give up, give up your love
I promise it's not gonna kill ya
And I need ya, Lord, I need ya

[Verse 2]
And when they cut out your lung
You said we could all breathe easy
The hole swallowed your heart
When they drilled holes in your skull
And screwed that halo to your head
Did you think you could fly?

[Pre-Chorus]
I made a prayer for you
Then prayed some more that it'd come true
Don't know about God, but I believe in you

[Chorus]
So give up, give up your love
Give up, give up your love
I promise it's not gonna kill ya
And I need ya, Lord, I need ya
And though you haven't got a lot to give up
A good man is easy to kill, well
Stop talking about the weather and say you're getting better

What Will You Do When Your Suntan Fades?

This is gonna hurt, kid
You better hold on tight, you know
All those drugs you take
Cannot help you save your soul
Smile a Sunday smile, kid
You're fragile as a scene, you know
All those things you have
Will not make you come undone

[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you're in the shade
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you start to fade

[Verse 2]
Who's your only friend, kid?
There's no one else, you know
All those girls you love
Doesn't mean you feel a thing

[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you're in the shade
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you start to fade

[Bridge]
Softly sway, or have you lost your way?
Well, I could give you a map
But you know you'd have to stay
You could quit the fight or you can say goodnight
Well, if you think it's a joke
Then why do you always cry?
 

[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you're in the shade
Tell me, tell me you'll be alright when you start to fade

[Outro]
Have you heard?
The days are getting shorter
What will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone?
Do you feel afraid?
The days are getting shorter
What will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone?
Do you feel afraid?
The days are getting shorter
What will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone?
Do you feel afraid?
The days are getting shorter
What will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone?
Will you fade away?
Will you fade away?
Will you fade away?
Will you fade away?
Will you fade away?

Gene Autry

A man named Gene's got a beautiful voice
He carries me home on his beautiful horse
And where she waits, I will ride, ride, ride
Come on stranger, just sing me a song
And if it's sad, I'll sing along, long, long
I told you I knew every word

[Pre-Chorus]
When I get to California, gonna write my name in the sand
I'm gonna lay this body down, and watch the waves roll in
And when the city spreads out just like a cut vein

[Chorus]
Everybody drowns sad and lonely
Well, everybody drowns sad and lonely
Well, everybody drowns sad and lonely, alright

[Verse 2]
Sweet, sweet dreams in color and sound
Highways in the faraway to be found
I saw gold mines in the sky, sky, sky
They were clouds just waiting to cry
And with the wind, I'm dancing drift, drift, drift
In the shapes of the place that I miss

[Pre-Chorus]
When I get to California, gonna write my name in the sand
I'm gonna lay this body down, and watch the waves roll in
I'm gonna rest this weary head on someone who I think will care
But when the stars in the sky start falling, I think you'll understand
That the city spreads out just like a cut vein

[Chorus]
Everybody drowns, sad and lonely
Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely
Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely, alright

[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm waiting for something to give
Well, I'm waiting, I hope it's not me
Yeah, I'm waiting for something to give
Yeah, I'm waiting

Silver Lining

Punk rock was my first girl
She left me a scar, so I have her still
She's not young, but she's not old yet
We share the same sun, but hers never sets

[Chorus]
You want it
A silver lining shining for you
You got it
A dark cloud always waiting for you

[Verse 2]
Weightless, and tumbling through space
I remember her voice, but not her face
Floating, but she's always near
She wants to stay, but she can't stay here

[Chorus]
You want it
A silver lining shining for you
You got it
A dark cloud always waiting for you


[Verse 3]
Frozen in window displays
Where did you hide all those days we'd waste?
Fading, but I see her still
She'll always be my punk rock girl

Popular Mechanics For Lovers

I know he knocks you off your feet
You're so bitter, you think he's sweet
Well, he's wrong for you, I swear
Did you forget to read the script?
There was never a role for him
It was always you and me, just me

[Refrain]
Popular Mechanics for Broken Hearts could help me now

[Verse 2]
I know you never felt romance
And we always lacked suspense
I can edit those parts out
I never made you feel complete
I'm a fault line beneath your feet
I would never bring you down, so down

[Refrain]
Popular Mechanics for Broken Hearts could help me now

[Post-Chorus]
Just because he loves you too
He wouldn't ever take a bullet for you
Don't believe a word he says
He wouldn't ever cut his heart out for you
See rock shows near New York

[Bridge]
I heard he wrote you a song, but so what?
Some guy wrote sixty-nine
And one just ain't enough
And there's no sense in him trying
I know, 'cause I've been
Trying all the time to find
The song that would make you mine
But all I ever find, my love
Are clichés that don't rhyme
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh

[Refrain]
Popular Mechanics for Broken Hearts could help me now

[Post-Chorus]
Just because he loves you too
He wouldn't ever take a bullet for you
Don't believe a word he says
He wouldn't ever cut his heart out for you

Gravity's Bringing Us Down

I never saw you up there
'Cause you never made a sound
If I knew what you were up to
I would've shot you down

[Chorus]
Hey, would ya say I'm on the rebound?
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
Your trigger finger's cocked, and I'm feeling weak
Open wide, I'm paralyzed


[Verse 2]
You were working on the inside
Disconnecting the alarm
I was messing up your signals
Trying to turn me off

[Chorus]
Hey, would ya say I'm on the rebound?
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
Your trigger finger's cocked, and I'm feeling weak
Open wide, I'm paralyzed

[Post-Chorus 1]
Over the hills the frequency's breaking down
Don't wanna guess, but I think it's time we turned around

[Bridge]
I'm soft, but I'll be alright
Soft, yeah, I'll be alright
Soft, yeah, I'll be alright
Soft...

[Chorus]
Hey, would ya say I'm on the rebound?
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
Your trigger finger's cocked, and I'm feeling weak
Open wide, I'm paralyzed
[Post-Chorus 2]
We're getting high, but we're still feeling down
Gravity has a way of pinning us to the ground

[Bridge]
I'm soft, but I'll be alright
Soft, yeah, I'll be alright
Soft, yeah, I'll be alright
Soft, yeah, I'll be alright

[Outro]
Lonely
I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely

Hey Brother

Hey brother, get yourself together, don't you wait
Can't you see I'm waiting in the shadows to take your place
There is a chance that I'll keep trying
To tell you the truth, but end up lying to you

[Chorus]
You said you were late and I planned my escape
Such a happy thing, just another one of my mistakes
So you held your breathe, and you cursed the west
Said you had no choice, you're moving back east where men are men

[Verse 2]
Your mother never found a reason to hesitate
Now you're waiting for a warmer welcome in colder states

[Chorus]
You said you were late and I planned my escape
Such a happy thing, just another one of my mistakes
So you held your breathe, and you cursed the west
Said you had no choice, you're moving back east where men are men

[Bridge]
Love's got no border, why don't you feel free
To cross my state line and bring yourself to me?
It's a hell of a struggle, been grounded for years
The words that I use are too old for your ears

[Solo]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

[Chorus]
You said you were late and I planned my escape
Such a happy thing, just another one of my mistakes
So you held your breathe, and you cursed the west
Said you had no choice, you're moving back east where men are men

I'll Be Your Lampshade

Although I didn't mention
I prayed for you that day
'Cause you left Glasgow and your shadow
And sailed back to the bay
And though it was predicted
Old times always sound so bad
The calendar was the saddest thing
That I ever read

[Chorus]
I hope you know you'll always be
The life of the party
I hope you know you'll always be
The life of the party

[Verse 2]
Although I wouldn't mention
I still say hi to you
I know you wonder if the time is off
How I want you, too
Though we'll ask direction
Bad times always seemed so sweet
You pushed the rhythm but kept on hitting
Your heart was made of steel

[Chorus]
I hope you know you'll always be
The life of the party
I hope you know you'll always be
The life of the party

[Post-Chorus]
Who knows? I know
It's our last show and
I hope you know you'll always be
Always be

[Bridge]
One heart in space racing on
Come on, friend
There's poison in your veins
Come on, friend
You know I feel the same

[Chorus]
I hope you know you'll always be
The life of the party
I hope you know you'll always be
The life of the party
[Post-Chorus]
Who knows? I know
It's our last show
And I hope you know there never was
A party at all

Cruel Minor Change

My cheeks are red and only swollen from the kisses
There's strangers dancing next to me
They're waiting on the sunrise or the Armageddon
It doesn't matter, whichever comes first

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you see those fireworks
Explode and fall, and fade like tears?
It's where I waited, it's where I waited

[Chorus]
And please don't say that something is wrong
I was at the party, you never came
But please don't say that something is wrong
I was at the party, you never came
But we knew you are

[Verse 2]
My ticket's folded and I hold it like a time bomb
It keeps on ticking, I'm counting down
The last stop on this line was Cooler Guy Station
It's as far as I'll get tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you see those fireworks
Explode and fall, and fade like tears?
It's where I waited, it's where I waited
 

[Chorus]
And please don't say that something is wrong
I was at the party, you never came
But please don't say that something is wrong
I was at the party, you never came
But we knew you are

[Bridge]
A cruel minor change
Well, nothing's happened, it's still the same
We're not space age, we won't be saved
We're just holding on again, waiting for the end, always hoping and

[Chorus]
And please don't say that something is wrong
I was at the party, you never came
But please don't say that something is wrong
I was at the party, you never came
But we knew you are

Burned By The Sun

High above the border town
I can see the golden ground (ah, ah, ah, ah)
If I wasn't looking down
I might have lost you in the miles
Ocean blue and foaming white
Surround the body of my flight (ah, ah, ah, ah)
As I flew out of sight
You were turning in the stiles

[Chorus]
And I know what it means to you
And I know what it means to me
And I know how it feels to be
Burned by the sun, the sun
I love the sun

[Verse 2]
Now I'm sleeping on the sand
Of an unfamiliar land (ah, ah, ah, ah)
And I'm dreaming up a plan
To get you on the breeze
And I'm staring at the speck
Of the map laid on the deck (ah, ah, ah, ah)
It's time to make a trek
On forgiving seas

[Chorus]
And I know what it means to you
And I know what it means to me
And I know how it feels to be
Burned by the sun, the sun
I love the sun

[Chorus]
And I know what it means to you (I know what it means to you)
And I know what it means to me
And I know we all wanna be
Burned by the sun

Night Is The Day Turned Inside Out

Slow, and I can't wait
As the day turns inside out
And night falls on you darling, darling
It falls on me too
And I'm tired, and I can't sleep
But I try, so I can dream, you know
Forever's a while and tomorrow's still a night away
And it's late, and I just wanna go home

[Verse 2]
I fly over the sea
And the planes, I see you
Hanging on the wing darling, darling
Holding onto me
Passed out in my room
Your breath is sunny and warm, you know
Forever's a while and tomorrow's still cold and gray
And it's late and I just wanna go home

[Verse 3]
Don't say you'll miss me 'cause I know that you miss me
You keep blowing me kisses over the phone
And don't say you'll leave me, 'cause I know you won't leave me
You know it took years for you to stay
I don't love you to death, but I'd die if you left
From state to state, you know I'd race
But nobody knows which exit is yours
See pop shows near New York
 

[Verse 4]
There is a place in the red light district
Of your heart that I used to visit
It's been boring, I can't afford it anymore
