Track Name: She's A Character
I met this girl, last month
On a day just like this one
And I really wish you'd meet her
Cause she's really something
Yeah, you could even say she's quite a character

I met her on a bus cause she fell on my lap
She said “I know you from something, but really don't know what”
I said “Maybe you have caught one of my shows downtown
Selling music at the pound”
She said “No, it's not that”

She said “Don't know you from work and don't know you from school”
I don't quite know why but it sounded kinda cruel
She said “I'm the kind of girl with lots of intuition hum
Have you ever been in a mental institution”
She said “Do you by any chance have a show on t.v.
I hear everybody's got one that is anybody”
I laughed I told her “No”
And she looked quite deceived
I said “We're on a bus who did you expected that I'd be”

With her like that on my lap, it felt
Unconventional
I thought this might be love, but
It's probably hormonal

She said “This is my stop”
She jumped back on her feet
She said she'd send me an e-mail, I'm still waiting for it
I said “Maybe, baby, before you go
You can tell me my future, I'd like to know)
She said “How am I suppose to do that”
I said “Well, maybe you can read my palm over”
She said “OK”
But she thought I was talking about those pocket computers

Cause she's quite a character

Take two, I'm in a bar, heading to the bathroom
After a gig, it's dark, I'm drunk, I step on some woman's foot
I look up and it's her, I drop a “Sorry ma’m”
I realize that she's a bit older than I am
She's says long time no see, like I'm an old acquaintance
She takes me by the arm and forces me on the dance floor
I'm exhausted, she says “Talk less, dance more”

And then and there, she's asks me for the light and I don't know if I've got one
(She said you could've at least have given me a call
Was I going to tell her she'd never given me her numerals)

Fur coat, net stockings
Bandana, nose-ring and a wig
Skinny jeans, lipstick, stripped t-shirt
Leather boots, cocaine in her purse

She said she'd change my life, I told her I was happy
With it the way it was she said I would be better
To follow her to have fun
I said “Your hairs are fake and if the carpet matches the drape
I can tell you right away: You're not my style”

Cause she's quite a character
Track Name: 555-LOVE
Your smile is giving me nosebleeds
Your red red hairs are still beating into me
We’ve got our friends, we’ve got our families
In a world like today’s
That’s everything you ever really need

I lift my face and there you are
But you know when you’re in love
You can never, ever be very far
So you can try and run away
But the further you are
The closer you get to me

I love you night and day
I want you here with me
Everywhere and everyway
I don’t care what you say

Don’t you know we’ll end up together
Don’t you know we’ll end up together
I don’t know much, but I know
We’ll end up together

Everything leads you to me
And me to you
Well, I’ve got a parrot
He can only talk about you
I’ll fix you something to eat
We’ll sit down, I’ll listen to you
When you’re ready, and
We’ll run away and get married
We’ll have children
They’ll be as pretty as the grass is green,
So sleep with as much men as you want
You should know in the end though
That I’m the only man
That will really count

I love you night and day
I want you here with me
Everywhere and every way
I don’t care what you say

Don’t you know we’ll end up together
Don’t you know we’ll end up together
I don’t know much, but I know
We’ll end up together

I can’t swallow
No, there’s nothing I can do
My throat is too rough
And I’m thinking too much about you

I’ll always keep dreaming of you
In my brain, in my head
There must be huge tattoos of you
I’m in no hurry, I’ll wait for you
So when you’re done with your boyfriend
Please do
Call me, call me…
You know my number
555-LOVE

I love you night and day
I want you here with me
Everywhere and every way
I don’t care what you say
Track Name: Ghost-A-Gogo
Somehow she knows
And she comes back where you live
To say “Hey baby
I haven’t seen you in a while…
Where have you been?”

And you’re thinking to yourself :
“Why do you have
Such a sad smile and a white face?

What have you done to get them?

Are you a ghost?
Are you a ghost?
Are you dead, is this it?
Did you smashed your head
In a car crash somewhere
Or did you slit your wrists
And drowned in a pool of your own blood?
Or put your tongue
On the outlet plug?
Or something like that…
And you came back to say :
“See you my friend”

And you came back to say : See you my friend”

Fell in a place in the middle
And somehow I got settled and now
She knows and she comes back to haunt me and I
Can’t go back in my attic because of that
I can’t go back!
I can’t go back!

Why did you come by you stupid ghost?
And by the way
That’s some awful make-up you have on
You should really head back home
And iron your sheet
And get a tan
‘Cause you’re not scaring
Anybody anymore

‘Cause you’re not scaring
Anybody anymore

Not even me… No!
Track Name: Guts Is Enough
One day you’ll be mine
But you don’t know it yet

So take your time
I’ll smoke a cigarette

Too often I have left
Someone on a dare

But I will never let
A woman cut my hair

And so on

And so forth

And so on
And so forth

…Guts is enough
Track Name: Morning By Numbers
I like my life, but it doesn’t pay
I’m not in love and I work hard all day
When I get home I go straight to bed -
Needing more be said?

Mornings don’t seem as much sour
But when I dream life’s so much better
Mornings don’t seem as much sour
Since I’ve got your sweet smile
In my sock drawer

It seems…
I’d like to sleep 10 000 hours more
I’d fossilize like a dinosaur
They’d have to dig the earth
To wake me up, but…

Mornings don’t seem as much sour
But when I dream life’s so much better
Mornings don’t seem as much sour
Since I’ve got your sweet smile
In my sock drawer

It seems…
I like to win but I prefer to loose
If that means that I can sleep ‘till noon
Don’t you make one more step
‘Cause I’m not afraid to snooze

Mornings don’t seem as much sour
But when I dream life’s so much better
Mornings don’t seem as much sour
Since I’ve got your sweet smile
In my sock drawer

It seems…
If I’m gonna spend my life without her
Sleeping would make it that much easier
Or so it seems…

If I’m gonna spend my life without her
Sleeping would make it that much easier
Or so it seems.

If I’m gonna spend my life without her
It would be that much colder
And so unhappier
So I prefer to sleep
‘Cause it would make me happier
Track Name: Motel Sunrise
Déjeuner continental
Taché à l’encre de journal
Avec ta main, tu caches ta fourche
Pendant que de mon bord j’mange tes croûtes
J’mange tes croûtes

Chambre mal chauffée à Montréal
J’paie beaucoup trop cher
Mais c’est normal
C’est normal
Tu me redonnes mes lunettes soleil
T’as remis tes petites culottes de la veille

…

T’as la chair de poule, tu commences à frissonner
Tu peux prendre ta douche mais ‘faut que t’ailles sur le pallier
Si tu veux on peut boire pis lire toute la journée
Ce soir, on sortira pour aller danser

Tu me passes la salière par la bande
Le café est tellement fort que nos deux coeurs
Battent pas mais tremblent
T’as remis ton chandail rayé
Pis tu te rases les jambes dans l’évier d’la cuisine
Ouais

…

La neige commence à tomber
Des lampadaires qui viennent juste
De s’allumer
Il me semblait pourtant
Qu’on venait juste de se lever
Une chance qu’i’ servent
Des déjeuners
Toute la journée
Track Name: Closer Than You Appear
I have never said
I would love you
And I…

I have never said
I would leave you
Just look into my eyes

Anyways, anywhere
I like you when you’re not there
In every way and everywhere
I don’t want to go
If you won’t be there

But you might be closer
Than you appear
Track Name: My Little Life
She was a childhood friend
And I had never
Thought we’d hook up
But then again I have been known to be wrong before
I realized it lifting her on the bathroom door

I said I didn’t know I had it in me
She said : “From now on,
See me as your enemy”

And then, she put
The proverbial gun to my head
And all I could wait for
Was for the trigger to go : “Click”

I was happy with
My little life
Before you came here
And told me
You love me, you love me

I have never tried
To look you in the eyes
And tell you I need you
Cause I know
I don’t need to

Do what you want, say what you will
I know you want it
Sure, it was fun but come on
I know you want it
Do what you want, say what you will
I know you want it
Sure, it was fun but come on
I know you wanted it

Take me by the hand
And take me by the heart
Just leave me my brain
And take it from the start
Let’s tear this club apart

Let’s tear this club apart, ‘cause

She was a childhood friend
And I had never thought we’d hook up
But then again
I ha ve been known to be wrong before
I realized it throwing her on the bathroom floor

The story of
My little life
Without a little wife…

Hard.
Track Name: Life In The Carpool Lane
I’ve got your number in my pocket
I’ve got your name, your e-mail and your address
In case tomorrow I forget
I’ll write it over my eyelids
So I’ll see it when the sun hits my face

…

I’ve got your number in my pocket
I’ve got fibers of your dress under my nails
And I’m sorry if it sounds lame
But I lived in the carpool lane
A black bread life of curse and shame
And it sucked

…

I’ve got your number in my pocket
I’ve got some of your lipstick still on my lips
And if I die on my way home
Please call my mom over the phone
And tell her that I found the one

Just call my mom and say…
Track Name: Too Much Hate To Make Love
I love you, I hate you
Got mixed feelings about you
I want to hold you, but when I do
Then I want to crush you

I strike a match to set your hairs
On fire, but your so late
I burn my hand and then I’m stuck
All alone in the dark

I’ve got too much hate to make love
I’ve got too much hate to make love
I’ve got too much hate to make love
I’ve got too much hate to make love

I wish you could think of me, but
I wouldn’t hold my breath for that

But either ways it’s like your gone
Cause when you’re her, you know
I come undone
I come undone
I come undone
I come undone

I’ve got too much hate to make love
I’ve got too much hate to make love
I’ve got too much hate to make love
I’ve got too much hate to make love

I’d like to love you better but
I don’t know what I’m doing

It seems so hard
Since you’re not there, but
I’ve got too much
Hate to make love
Track Name: The Happiest Boy In Montreal
I’ve got a hunting knife
I’ve got water supplies

There are fires in the streets
People are seriously
Considering suicide

Communication as broken down
Radio signal is going out

And there I thought that you
Put magic in my life
But it’s less funny now
That the cars are crashing in the street lights

Yet I never believed in the end of the world
This must’ve happened when I met you girl

If there was no one left in this town at all
I’d be the happiest boy in Montreal
[Hence the title of the album.]
Track Name: Sweater Weather
You know I’ve been waiting for you
For twenty years, my whole life through
But now that I met you
What am I suppose to do

If all is true, and all in all…
Damn, why then do I feel so small
Now that I have you into my life
Say would you be my wife

If love is but a frequency
Then be sure baby
That I am vibrating to it
I don’t know much about the world
But this I know I like you girl

But this I know
I like you girl
I like you girl
I like you girl
I like you girl

I wished upon a shooting star
I once believed in smashing cars
Getting and getting real down
And I’m still wearing the scars

You know I’ve been waiting for you
For twenty years, my whole life through
But now that I met you
What am I suppose to do

I like it when your lipstick smudges
I always fell for the girl in the crutches

You know I’ve been waiting for you
For twenty years, my whole life through
But now that I met you
What am I suppose to do

If all is true, and all in all…
Damn, why then do I feel so small
Now that I have you into my life
Say would you be my wife

If love is but a frequency
Then be sure baby
That I am vibrating to it

I don’t know much about the world
But this I know I like you girl

But this I know I like you girl
I like you girl
I like you girl
I like you girl
