Cliche
Cliche Genre: Alternative
Hey girl, do you know why you’re singing? You think you’re such a smarty-pants You get to play with the big boys You don’t even have to know yourself It’s just a cliché Just a fucking cliché A fucking cliché series With no rhyme or sense It’s just a cliché Just a fucking cliché series You go spouting clichés Like there is no tomorrow Hey girl, do you know what you’re shilling? Got stones to sing so dumb You’ve got “1-2-3 you love me” Who thinks you care where that comes from? It’s just a cliché Just a fucking cliché A fucking cliché series With no rhyme or sense It’s just cliché Just a fucking cliché series You go spouting clichés Like they were going out of style It’s just a cliché Just a fucking cliché You go spouting clichés More often than you’ve had hot dinners

The Toronto In The People
The Toronto In The People Genre: Alternative
Travelling down the hyperway She asks, “Where are we?” “York Mills, eh.” They think we’re crazy but that’s okay We’re in Toronto on a seven day On a seven day On a seven day The CN Tower on a cloudy day A trip to Jupiter but just one way (How much did we pay?) They think we’re crazy but that’s okay They don’t laugh, they don’t smile They just sit there the whole while For miles and miles and miles and miles and miles And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles Smile baby, no please smile Smile baby, no please smile Smile baby, no please smile The Toronto in the people Heading left The Toronto in the people Make up down We left you all our money but we still think it’s funny Three tokens in the fountain at a restaurant downtown Library vertigo, Polaroid paranoia Strange mental illness for our Ph.D. Shouldn’t be too hard they say We’re crazy anyway It’s only a question of the degree Smile baby, no please smile Smile baby, no please smile Smile baby, no please smile The Toronto in the people Heading left The Toronto in the people Make up down We left you all our money but we still think it’s funny Three tokens in the fountain at a restaurant downtown Picking up cadets (we thought they’d run away) A dollar each for roses, shore leave for a day You know the Eaton’s Centre doubles for the Dundas Street subway? Seeing Toronto on seven day Smile baby, no please smile Smile baby, no please smile Smile baby, no please smile C’mon baby, please smile. . . Oh yeah, that’s it The Toronto in the people Heading left The Toronto in the people Make up down We left you all our money but we still think it’s funny Three tokens in the fountain at a restaurant downtown

Play Me
Play Me Genre: Alternative
I've been working all day Not to care if I see you tonight To pretend it's okay That someone else can do me so right But I'll be fooling myself I can't go fooling around I can't be left on the shelf When I know you're in town You need play me good Break it down Fret my eager body Play me like a melody You need to finger out the chords Drop it down Hit that line again Play me like a melody There can't be no other man Who can coax that melody out The way your fingers can Make me whisper, make me shout And I know the song is just beginning Even as I feel the chill Even though you play it cool I know you feel the same Delicious thrill You need play me good Break it down Fret my eager body Play me like a melody You need to finger out the chords Drop it down Hit that line again Play me like a melody And you know the song is just beginning Even though you feel the chill Even though I play it cool You know I feel the same Delicious thrill I want to play you good Break it down Fret your eager body Play you like a melody I want to finger out the chords Drop it down Hit that line again Play you like a melody You need to spread those fingers out Play it hard Rock the night away Play me like a melody You need to croon it in my ear Take it down Start it again... You need play me good Break it down Fret my eager body Play me like a melody You need to finger out the chords Drop it down Hit that line again Play me like a melody And you know the song is just beginning...
