Dancing at the show tonight, looking pretty fly, that's right You think you're gonna hook it up, too bad we're gonna screw it up You don't come to watch the bands, you come to mingle with the fans even though they're half your age, staring helpless at the stage Well watch out 'cuz here we come! We're so awesomer than you so cool we don't know what to do Our horns are all the rage comin' at you from the stage We're so awesomer than you Hiding in the crowd tonight, moving in and out of light The girls don't like you very much, but still you try to press your luck They have come to watch the show, not to talk to creeps you know Knock off your sleazy trash, before we knock you on your ass! Well watch out 'cuz here we come! We're so awesomer than you so cool we don't know what to do Our horns are all the rage comin' at you from the stage We're so awesomer than you [Horn solo] We're so awesomer than you so cool we don't know what to do We came to play this show just so you would know that We're so awesomer than you

I saw her at the store last week she bought some apples and a leek When she left I waved "goodbye" but she just kept on walking by Maybe someday she'll finally see just how much she means to me She's cute, she's cool, she's totally rad Her sweet little smile is driving me mad She's coming to the show tonight but if she won't dance with me it's alright I caught her leaving Tuesday class too bad I fell right on my ass I stood up with my ruptured spleen but she was nowhere to be seen Maybe someday she'll finally see just how much she means to me CHORUS [Instrumental Bridge] CHORUS She's cute, she's cool, she's totally rad Her sweet little smile is driving me mad She came out to the show last night and then we danced all through the whole night

The man at the bar hands me a drink He says "Take a sip and tell me what you think" Work was long, time slips away Next thing I know I'm staring at another day Let's go out drinking we'll spend our lives away Let's go out drinking who needs money anyway Let's go out drinking we're tired from our day Let's go out drinking and everything will be okay I meet my friends, we talk the whole night through but all I really want is to spend my time with you 2am, time moves so fast I guess I better leave before they throw me on my ass! CHORUS [Horn Solos] CHORUS

Becca's Song 03:21
So you think there might be something out there better than me and you'd be missing out if you just didn't look see and if you find it's not true you hope it's still you I need well don't count on it, because I won't wait And you really do love me but you just can't get past yourself and you can't give it all up and put me before everything else well at least you've been honest, but still all I hear is I don't love you enough I don't love you enough I just don't love you enough though you've been there for me through everything I don't love you enough Well you said you think you had it perfect but you really can't be sure and I meant everything to you but you just had to explore And you used to wanna run away with me but feelings change Where do they go? How do they get re-arranged? And there's nothing I can do to help you change your mind and I Refuse to beg and I won't cry And honey you can't keep talking as much as you want but all I hear is I don't love you enough I don't love you enough I just don't love you enough though you've been there for me through everything I don't love you enough And there's nothing you can do I just need to find someone new who makes me forget myself but you've gone back on the shelf I just don't love you enough [Horn Solos] CHORUS

Run Away 03:59
Where are you tonight, my dear? You know I'd like to have you here with me, have you here with me, whoa You're the cutest girl I've ever seen in all the places that I've been Just say the word and run away with me, whoa Just give me a chance and I'll make it so All ya' have to do is just let the world go and run away with me Where are you tonight, my dear? You know I'd like to have you here with me, have you here with me, whoa Maybe if we could find the time I'd really like to make you mine Just say the word and run away with me, whoa CHORUS Where are you tonight, my dear? You know I'd like to have you here with me, have you here with me, whoa We'll chase the sunset in my car, go to places near and far Just say the word and run away with me, whoa

Well if you've got what you want and you've found what you need You know you can't let go Don't let the world bring you down when the times get tough And don't pull over when the road gets rough 'Cuz where we're going only you can know You say HEY! you've got to keep it together stay true to your cause always and forever Just say FUCK YOU! to those bringing you down knock them down to the ground you don't want them around And say HEY! you've got to keep it together stay true to your cause always and forever Just say FUCK YOU! to those bringing you down knock them down to the ground you don't want them around anymore You've got to settle the score Well I've got my hopes and i've got my dreams and this town it ain't bringing me down I'm right here where I belong They can't move me I'll stand strong They can try their best, I'll stand up to their test And then we'll know who's wrong 'Cuz where we're going They could never know CHORUS

OK, Sure 03:51
Have you ever had one of those days? Has it ever felt like no other day at all? Has it ever been so perfect? Has it ever felt like it was so right? Then you came to find out that one day it was all gone? Maybe you will see what could have been and you won't see that we were more than friends Okay, sure I'll be alright Okay, sure I'll be just fine Okay, sure everything is great Okay, sure I'll just keep living this lie Did you ever stop to think? Did you ever think of what could have been? One minute we were fine the next minute we sat in TEARS AND SILENCE! I wonder what it will be like when I see you and know you are not mine and maybe you will see what could have been and you won't see that we were more than friends CHORUS [Guitar solo] CHORUS (half time)
9.
Where's the girl? The one that I can go to when something's wrong 'Cuz something's wrong She's the one who can mean the world to me So I can see, I can see, where I'm going to be Where's the girl? With the smile I can feel And her skin so soft, so warm, so close to me She's the one who can mean the world to me So I can see, I can see, the road is calling to me
10.
If I see you tonight I don't think that I will stay It seems like when we talk that we're running different ways and you know that I'm still thinking of you and I don't know what to do You've already had your chance now can't you just leave me alone I guess I should have realized your heart was made of stone and I can tell you honestly that you've had your last chance with me I just hope you see [Guitar solo]
11.
Keep waiting You're just as far as you've been before No one's coming and the lights are dark You've got to be where you've been but you don't know who you are anymore Fighting the streak of day that moves across the floor, well we say Go do it now, you can't be sure that you know how, but you've got to try or you'll never know what passed you by Go do it now, the timing's right, no time to fight Well there it goes, your chance to really show I'll guess she'll never know You try your best to clear the blurry image in her mind, but all it does is make things worse Your picture is fading and soon you will be gone for good You need to make your move tonight Fight the pain inside and reach for feelings you always hide How could she ever hurt you again? She's back to see you, close at last, you were her lonely lesson This is the day, we start from here, well you hear us say CHORUS [Tenor/Trombone Trading Solos] The rush in your chest Stomach butterflies Her view tonight could kill You do it anyway You can't miss the chance The world is yours today, and we say Go do it now, you can't be sure that you know how, but you've got to try or you'll never know what passed you by Go do it now, the timing's right, no time to fight Well there it goes, your chance to really show That's the way things go I'll guess she'll never know
