Pollyanna flower

(From Thank U single)
***

(through you I see us)
Between a broken nose and a fake smile
Between piety and gun powder
Between fighting and fleeing the scene
Between the murder and the normalacy
Between aggression and oblivion
Between the brutal and realistically well behaved
Between the screaming and the pulling in the reins
Between tiptoeing and ambling

What am i to do with all this fire?
(I'd like to hate you but I could never hate you)
Why are you still with me in this red space?
(I'd like to slap you but I could never slap you)

Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright
Between war and denial
(Twice)

Between flying vases and secretly weeping
Between loose cannons and ever down playing
Between the bruises and the nobly differing
Between bursting and boiling
What am I to do with all this burning?
(I'd like to hurt you but I could never hurt you)
Do I overwhelm you in this place?
(I'd like to kill you but I could never kill you)

Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright
Between war and denial
(Twice)

What am i to do with all this fire?
Can you understand me in this place?

Still


Dogma soundtrack



I am the harm that you inflict 
I am your brilliance and frustration 
I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit 
I am your immaturity and your indignance 
I am your misfits and your praises 
I am your doubt and your conviction 
I am your charity and your rape 
I am your grasping and expectation 

I see you averting your glances 
I see you cheering on the war 
I see you ignoring your children 
And I love you still 
And I love you still 
I am your joy and your regret 
I am your fury and your elation 
I am your yearning and your sweat 
I am your faithless and your religion 
I see you altering history 
I see you abusing the land 
I see you and your selective amnesia 
And I love you still 
And I love you still 
(ah oh ahh ohh ahh ohh) 

I am your tragedy and your fortune 
I am your crisis and your delight 
I am your prophets and your profits 
I am your art I am your bytes 
I am your death and your decisions 
I am your passion and your lights 
I am your sickness and convalescence 
I am your weapons and your light 
I see you holding your grudges 

I see you gunning them down 
I see you silencing your sisters 
And I love you still 
And I love you still 
I see you lie to your country 
I see you forcing them out 
I see you blaming each other 
And I love you still 
I love you still 
(ah ohh ah ya ya ohh ahh yah)

"I Don't Know " (The Weekends Song) 

 This song can be found on an various import cd's.


Monday morning is not Monday morning
'till Taylor has his coffee
Friday night is not Friday night
'till Jessie leaves the room sweaty
Tuesday morning is not Tuesday morning
'till Nick has his talk with his son
Thursday night is not Thursday night
'till Chris has sex with his bass.
Come on to the weekend
'cause the weekend I'll get high
Hold off 'till the weekend
'cause there's too much time to think
And there will be nice skies
Tuesday morning is Wednesday afternoon
When you cry all night
Wednesday early we fall into work
all caught up in the day by day
Thursday morning is not Thursday morning
'till Alanis says how's your life
how's your life?
Yeah, how's your life
how's your life?
Come on to the weekend
'cause the weekend I'll get by
Hold off 'till the weekend
'cause there's too much time to think and not much time to cry
Hold off 'till the weekend
'cause the weekend we'll be high
Hold off 'till the weekend
'cause there'll be no time but we'll get by
What if there were no more mama's boys
What if no one shares their humble appearance
What if there were no consequences
What if there were no more arguments
Well that'd be a shame
Wouldn't that be impossible
and you would be bored
'cause you wouldn't want it a little too late
Hold on 'till the weekend
'cause the weekend I'll get by
Hold off 'till the weekend
'cause the man upstairs has the really nice skies
Hold off 'till the weekend
'cause the weekend I'll get high
Hold off 'till the weekend
'cause we may look strange but we surely will get by
What if there were no more mama's boys
What if we all had no thinking together
Wouldn't that be a shame
Wouldn't that be impossible
and you would be bored
'cause you wouldn't want it any other way

After a Year like this one

-This song can be found on an various import cd's.



After a year like this one
I'm surprised I did not hate your guts.
And After a year like this one
I'm surprised I still love music as much
After a year like this one
I'm surprised I did not eat my eye
After a year like this one
I'm sorry if I'm not cordial to everyone
After a year like this one
I'm surprised I am convinced at all
And after a year like this one
I do not roll my eyes in disgust when they call me
After a year like this one
I can't help but wonder how they've been
And after a year like this one
I think I'll leave it all to my next of kin
After a year like this one
I'm surprised were all not weeping drunks
And after a year like this one
I want to choose the restaurant
And after a year like this one
I need a good whole sixteen months alone
After a year like this one
I think I'll make the west coast beaches my new home

London (London Today)

 This song can be found on an import single for "Joining You". 


What it feels to fall in to the pool
the hard shell bugs bite my forearm
my right index fingernail chewed to the quick
my cervix is a long 
my sprinklers go off at 6pm each day
and sometimes they spray unsuspecting visitors
my pimples are goosebumps(hairs?) all over my legs
my brow is furrowed and my vision is blurred
and how I do love London
and how I do love London
The birds make guttural sounds and protect me
my friends come to visit and love me a lot
I don't have the energy to fill this 
I am like flight attendants on a 12 hour flight
and how I do love London
and how I do love London
I am intrigued by the boy with songs
sometimes they write sometimes they write (not/a lot)
the steam will smell of puke and left us in the shower
the hug will feel forced upon you inconsolable thing
and how I do love London
and how I do love London
Deep breaths will not make my brain stand still
to be loved and swallowed are single and depraved
I love speaking French to the taxi drivers
we slept and were cold on the train out of France
and how I do love London
and how I do love London

Death Of Cinderella

This song can be found on an various import cd's.


I'm wise and ambitious
And angry and free, 
and smart and available 
And sexy
I'm soft and appealing
And wearing pajamas, 
And twisted and willing And Crazy
This is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella
Who can use her 
And it's all you can do not to throw her on the floor. 
And thought-provoking, 
And opinionated 
Cultured and funny
And experienced 
Fearless and tender,
And sweetly innocent, 
Uninhibited, 
Likes a good debate.
This is the story of the death of Cinderella 
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella 
Who can use her 
And it's all you can do not to tie her to the bed. 
I could fall in love a million times before I die 
You could draw me a bubble bath, 
We could walk in the sunset. 
This is the story of the death of Cinderella
She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella 
Who can use her 
And it's all you can do not to keep her sober.
This is the story of the death of Cinderella 
I'm gonna grow to be a maid and I'll never find a fella 
Who can use me 
And that's all you can do not to kick me in the ass.

Pray For Peace

This song can be found on an various import cd's. 

I pray for peace 
They require me to kick into high gear
We may as well have our PHD's 
I think impulse 
Was never taken into account
I pray they let out or talk it out
She would give me a wink across the room
I would've made a really good lawyer 
I had a really good strategy 
For putting things back on the wall of the holder
Thank god it was the goddamned wall 
I would have to hide all my valuables
Who would calm my mother down? 
Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?
My mother and I were the official peacemakers 
It was a full time job
I would send my mother directly to bed 
Do not collect 200 
We'd talk about it 'till 5am
When I'd come visiting her five years later
We would pray for peace 
It was most comfortable and familiar.

Gorgeous

This song can be found on an various import cd's.

Testosterone in large amounts,
Your little sister got kicked out of
God, you can't shave your head,
Come to the show, the boys,
They rock harder.
Your mother lent you her slip,
She lent you her bright red lipstick
And your shoes are hurting your back,
But boy don't you look gorgeous.
You look gorgeous.
You look gorgeous.
You look gorgeous.
You look gorgeous.
This is but an observation: you've a bullet in your foot.
You make it hard for us bitches
Inconsequential in your back bends.
Your taste in men leaves something to be desired;
You love them to be aloof and self-obsessed,
They love you in your mini dress.
You're looking gorgeous.
You're looking gorgeous.
Gorgeous.
You're looking gorgeous.
(Harmonica)
When your voice is raised above a certain level,
I'm afraid we must go to the ladies' room;
I left your competence in curlers.
You look gorgeous.
You look gorgeous.
You're looking gorgeous.
How you look gorgeous.

Superstar Wonderful Weirdos

 this song is rare and only found on the original demo for JLP. 


Sarah's only 10 and she's attracted to older men 
And they seem to like her back 
But she's intelligence 
Billy's a football star 
And he drives around in his muscle car 
But he really really wants to be a ballerina 
And he wonders who am I? 
Who am I? 
And he wants to be a man 
But he doesn't understand 
It's alright to be what he wants 
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos 
Can you hear me call tonight? 
I know you're alone in your world 
Full of fear though 
But the more you run the harder it is to hide 

Well, Johnny studies rockets 
With his plastic protected pockets 
so his pens don’t leak out upon the floor 
Where Jenny's rolling 
And she's scared of growing 
'Cause she is 5 feet taller than the girl next door 
And she wonders who am I? 
What the hell am I? 
And she's got a lot to offer 
But she doesn’t look like Cindy Crawford 
And it makes her cry… 

I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos 
Can you hear me call tonight? 
I know you're alone in your world 
Full of fear though 
But the more you run the harder it is to hide 
It's a total rejection of the system 
It's the honest opinion for the very first time 
It's a different position, of living 
Ands its time that you made up your minds 

I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos 
You're not alone tonight 
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos 
Can you hear me call tonight? 
I know you're alone in your world 
Full of fear though 
But the more you run the harder it is to hide 
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos 
Can you hear me call 
Can you hear me call tonight? 
I'm calling all Superstar Wonderful Weirdos

King Of Intimidation

This song can be found on an various import cd's. 

(The women of this family feel that they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime). 

For you they live in quiet monastery 
For you they wear whatever you want
them to as long as it is short 
They count to ten when you tell them how to drive
And when they're afraid they let you speak for them. 
All hail the king of intimidation 
Model of good Christian behavior 
For you we wax, we skin, chicken our legs
For you we'd chew our nails if we had any but fake ones to do it
We contradict him temporarily 
And it was something about how you talk down to me.
All hail the king of intimidation 
Model of good Christian behavior 
The role of compromise is full and apparently you don't want some
There's only so much we can do to make you rest assured. 
I am single 
I am weary 
You're just jealous
You're just confused 
You're just hungry 
You're missing out 
You're not happy 
You I pity. 
All hail the king of intimidation
Model of good Christian behavior. 
He knows not of what he has wrongly done
Forgive his ignorant behavior. 
You are tortured 
You are captured 
You are busted 
We were silent 
You were tested 
You knew better 
You are lonely 
Was it worth it?

Unsent (Demo)

(Demo version of Unsent, it was changed around for the final cut)

dear matthew I like you a lot I realize you're in a relationship with someone right now and I respect that I would like you to know that if you're ever single in the future and you want to come visit me in california I would be open to spending time with you and finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song

dear eric I liked you too much I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me and think solely about themselves and you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time I used to say the more tragic the better the truth is whenever I think of the early 90's your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday

dear terry I love you muchly you've been nothing but open hearted and emotionally available and supportive and nurturing and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in and pushing you away I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch and cry in front of you for the first time you were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself what was wrong with me

dear marc you rocked my world you had a charismatic way about you with the women and you got me seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn't let me get away with kicking my own ass but I could never really feel relaxed and looked out for around you though and that stopped us from going any further than we did and it's kinda too bad becasue we could've had much more fun

dear terrance you were an adventure besides being a few decades older than I was you used to write the most poetic loveletters and I still have them you were in and out of several marriages and you liked them young and naive so you could have the power and the dramas to feel fear I wonder what your wife thought of all of this

dear christian we learned so much I realize we won't be able to talk for some time and I understand that as I do you the long distance thing was the hardest and we did as well as we could we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives I will always have your back and be curious about you about your career about your whereabouts

dear taylor I missed you a lot there was a period of time when I was too mad to even bring up your name and it killed me to hear you discount the time we spent together I knew all along that we had different tastes in moderations and we couldn't hang out forever and while it lasted it was hilarious

Can't Not

(pre-release version)

i'd be lying if i said i was completely unscathed
would i be proving you right with my silence or rage
would i be letting in and inviting a reaction
and how would i explain
how would i explain this to my children if i had them

because i can not
because i can not
because i can not win without them losing my dear

would it be whining if i said i needed a hug
would you feel slighted if i said your love's not enough
and how dare i complain
and how dare i complain if i am the one who reaches for this

because i can not
because i can not
because i can't afford to be mislead one more time
because i can no
because i can not
because i can't help wonder why you ask me my dear

to all the unheard children in the school yard
you think your the right one's
you swear your the charmed one's i'm sure
and how can you go on with such conviction
and who do you think you are when you question me

because we can not
because we can not
because we can't help laugh at your delusions
because we can not
because we can not
because we can't help wonder why you ask me

Thank U (Demo)
How 'bout getting off of these antibiotics
How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots
How 'bout that ever elusive kudo
How 'bout me taking you up on your support

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you Thank you silence

How 'bout me not blaming you for everything
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How 'bout grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you Thank you silence

The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down

How 'bout no longer being masochistic
How 'bout professing just how much you love me
How 'bout remembering your divinity
How 'bout taking him up on a back massage
How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How 'bout not equating death with stopping

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you Thank you silence

No Avalon
(demo for Jagged Little Pill which didn't make the final cut)

I'm just a white girl
From a small, safe town
What could I possibly know about destruction?
My lawn sure looks green today
Underneath these suburban skies

But the little boy next door
Wants to be the Lord of the Flies

It's like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our brothers die

My bed is so safe here
And my rose-colored glasses, they're broken
And how the truth leaks in
And I, I can't imagine
I saw it on the news tonight
That they'd announce his name
I saw the blood on his hands
And they told me to look away

I tell ya it's like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our sisters die

Why, why?
Why?
It's a confusing civilization, darling

I tell ya It's like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice

And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our people die
We let 'em die
And watch them die

Fake Plastic Trees
(Radiohead cover Performed by Alanis Morissette)

her green plastic watering can
for her fake chinese rubber plant
in the fake plastic earth
that she bought from a rubber man
in a town full of rubber plans
to get rid of itself
it wears her out
it wears her out
it wears her out
it wears her out
she lives with a broken man
a cracked polystyrene man
who just crumbles and burns
he used to do surgery for girls in the eighties
but gravity always wins
and it wears him out
and it wears him out
and it wears him out
she looks like the real thing
she tastes like the real thing
my fake plastic love
but i can't help the feeling
i could blow through the ceiling
if i just turn and run
and it wears me out
it wears me out
and it wears me out
if i could be who you wanted
if i could be who you wanted all the time
