2. Jenny Loves Her Teatowels
Originally written by Jo
It's been one of those days
I can hear my eyes scream
My brain is turning green
Let's make some good pancakes
They mean nothing to her
Jenny loves her teatowels x3
Yeah!
She hides her face
In the dirtiest place
As long as she has her teatowels
As long as she has her teatowels.. yeah!
Jenny loves her teatowels x3
Yeah!
That's Jenny's little secret
That I'll tell you about
She loves her teatowels
Jenny loves her teatowels x3
Yeah!
3. Sugarcoated Poison Apple
Originally by MxPx
It eats at you I know
It's so hard to let it go, let yourself go
Yeah just let yourself go
It consumes you can't you see
That sin hates everybody, everybody
Sin eats everybody
Even though I know the reason why
It breaks me down, I want to cry
I search for comfort in a friend
When will my troubles ever end?
It eats at you I know
It's so hard to let it go, let yourself go
Yeah just let yourself go
It consumes you can't you see
That sin hates everybody, everybody
Sin eats everybody
Even though I know the reason why
It breaks me down, I want to cry
I search for comfort in a friend
When will my troubles ever end?
Sugarcoated poison apple
Tastes so good that you can't see
The death and decay that's inside
And what it's done to me
The sugarcoated poison apple
Tastes so good how could you know
It's deceitful lies
And where you're gonna go.. You won't know
4. Who Poured Commercialism in My Cup?
There was a boy named Johnny
He had spiky hair
He lived in a shoebox
How did he fit in there?
There was a girl named Jane
She liked the smell of rain
She listens to pop music
And thinks that punk's a pain.. Yeah!
Everybody's groovin' to the new commercial music
It's crazy awful silly and a teeny bit confusing
Party the to music if you feel like getting groovy
All around the world the music's slowly changing.. ROCK!
There was a punk rock show
Not one of them would know
That one day they'd ask each other
If the other would go
Everybody's groovin' to the new commercial music
It's crazy awful silly and a teeny bit confusing
Party the to music if you feel like getting groovy
All around the world the music's slowly changing.. ROCK!
Sore feet, sore eyes
Pretending this music's alright
Sore feet, sore eyes
Pretending this is music makes me want to cry
5. My Dog Ate It
Going to class
Quarter to nine
Something is ticking
At the back of my mind
Teacher goes through the role
Then mentions the word
If she looks at me
I think I'll turn
My dog ate it
What do you expect? x3
My dog ate it
Ate it all...
Going to my bag
Slowly check the scene
My homework's gone
Where could it be?
My dog ate it
And swallowed it with glee
There's no excuse
My homework I can't see
My dog ate it
What do you expect? x3
My dog ate it
Ate it all...

7. Next, Please
The line was almost 200 metres long
The smell of babies with filled nappies was too strong
My face relaxed I was sent to my destination
It's funny because I couldn't hear the conformation
She said "Next, Please"
But I didn't hear her
The attention that I had meant I could've been standing there for hours x2
I didn't know how many items I had
Seeing her face just made me so glad
Standing there I received my revelation
I could've bought my items from the petrol station
She said "Next, Please"
But I didn't hear her
The attention that I had meant I could've been standing there for hours x2
8. Sea Rap
Yo, I'm MC squared and I'm here to rock the house
I'm like the elephant that gets scared by the mouse
tba gigs are the place to be
Watch out everybody here comes Lucas D
I'm the phat geezer from the east
I thoroughly enjoy my sugar and yeast
If I was in the jungle I'd be king of the beasts
And then I'd be killed and become an animal feast
We're tba and we'll leave you dismayed
We're tba and we don't get payed x2
Isn't this tune the phattest on the planet
It's so rad the radio stations will ban it
Should I keep going or stop this right now
If I was playing basketball I'd already have five fouls
This is the part where the beat cuts sick
And this song is so loud that I break my pick
Whenever I start to yell I throw bricks
I pull out a rhyme from my bag of tricks
We're tba.. don't get in our way
We're tba.. you may get sprayed x2
9. Dedication to Kate
7-second instrumental - Actually dedicated to all short people
10. The Actual Dedication Song
She's so sweet
She likes dancing in the summer
She's so happy and everyone around her knows
That they'll feel better if they hang around enough
She's so cool
She pretends to like our music
Even if we know that she's feeling slightly sick
She's got dancing feet
She's so short and sweet
She's the best part of the week x2
[Repeat all]
11. You Made Everything
You made the earth and its galaxies
You made the summer and the spring
You made everything
You made the birds and all their wings
You made those cocktail weiner things
You made everything
Everything around me
You made it perfectly
Nothing beats your creation x2
You made the earth and its galaxies
You made those necklace lolly things
You made everything
You made everything perfectly
You made my friends and my family
You made everything
Everything around me
You made it perfectly
Nothing beats your creation x2
Rainbows all around me
Makes me happy
Like I should be x2
Everything around me
You made it perfectly
Nothing beats your creation x2

13. The Belly Button Song
Originally by Partiv
Here's a little ditty that I want you to know
It's not about my fingers, not about my toes
It's called that belly button song
Now won't you kindly sing a long
It's my itty bitty, kinda gritty
Awful cutey, kinda crazy
Right there on my tummy
And I don't know
Why I love them so
I just think they're funny
Some pop in and some pop out
I don't know what that's about
Either way you can't go wrong
Now sing that belly button song
It's my itty bitty, kinda gritty
Awful cutey, kinda crazy
Right there on my tummy
And I don't know
Why I love them so
I just think they're funny
14. Die Alone
Originally titled "Shadow on the Sun" by Audioslave
Once upon a time
It was on my mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
You believed I could
You've seen it done before
I can read your thoughts
And tell you what you saw
And never say a word
I can't tell you why
People die alone
I can't tell you why
I never use my cordless phone
Now all that is gone
Never to return
What do we have left?
The memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin
Who shut that open window
And never let me in
I can't tell you why
People die alone
I can't tell you why
I never use my cordless phone
Every drop of flame
The lights are candle lit
Another romantic dinner
With nowhere to sit
I can't tell you why
People die alone
I can't tell you why
I never use my cordless phone
15. All for You
All I know is
You were the one
On the cross for everyone
I want to see you
In everything, everything
I want to see you in all I do
I need You x4
I'm so glad when You are near
When I need you overseer
Better than to walk alone
I can see how much I've grown
All for You
What a price to pay
Sacrifice to lead the way
There's nothing else I can say
I want to see You in all I do
I need You
I'm so glad when You are near
When I need you overseer
Better than to walk alone
I can see how much I've grown

17. Faint With Love
Love was always knocking
But it never came
I tried forcing love
I looked everywhere
I could never find this love anywhere
You can't awaken love
Until it so desires
When it hits you
You just know
I loved the slightest looks
You gave in my direction
If only for a second
The entire room stood still
And when I am asleep
My heart still thinks of you
And how one day I'll show you it's all true
You can't awaken love
Until it so desires
When it hits you
You just know
I hold my heart just for you
All of my love has awaken in me
You can't awaken love
Until it so desires
When it hits you
You just know
18. INSTRUmental
As the name suggests, a five minute instrumental
19. Danny Boy
Originally by Frederic Edward Weatherly
Oh danny boy
The pipes are calling me
From glen to glen
And down the mountain side
When the summer's gone
And all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you I must bide
But come back when summer's in the meadow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come with me
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me *cough, splutter*
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come with me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me
20. Hidden Track Pt. 2
Skit
This is a hidden track
You didn't think it'd be here
Thought we'd make one
But didn't know if you'd care
This is a hidden track
A short hidden track
This is a hidden track
Cut us some slack
21. I Am Waiting for a Bus
Going into town on the footpath
Trying to catch my bus and I can't read
The timetable it's upside down
And my destination's all the way across town
My bus is waiting, waiting, waiting for me x2
Trying to get to my bus stop on the footpath
Can't read my timetable
Oh no! I missed it!
Oh no! That's my bus!
My bus is waiting, waiting, waiting for me x2
Don't rush now
You can catch the bus now
Don't rush now
I'm not in much of a hurry
My bus is waiting, waiting, waiting for me x2
22. U.T.I
I've got to stop this pain
That's in my bladder
Try to let it out
But nothing flows
Went to the doctor
To give me medication
Went to the toilet
No inspiration
It's getting worse
There's nothing I can do
Try to yell out
That did no good too
Knees are getting weak
Thighs are getting numb
Went to the computer
And wrote this song
I've got a U.T.I
I'm racking my brain
Got a U.T.I
It's driving me insane
Got a U.T.I
And I'm in so much pain
Got a U.T.I
It's driving me insane
23. Yes, We Have No Bananas
Originally by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn
There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a greek
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak
When you ask him anything, he never answers "no".
He just "yes"es you to death,
And as he takes your dough, he tells you...
Yes we have no bananas
Bananas, bananas
Yes, we have no bananas
Business got so good today
I need help right away
Do you think you could give me some help
There was fun, fun you bet
Someone asked for sparrow grass
And then the whole quartet answered
Yes we have no bananas
Bananas, bananas
Yes, we have no bananas
24. Just Like Heaven [Live]
Originally by The Cure
Recorded live at Faultline - July 9, 2005
Show me, show me, show me
How you do that trick
The one that makes me scream
She said
The one that makes me laugh
She said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And i promise you
I promise you
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
Why are you so far away?
She said
Why won't you ever know that i'm in love with you?
That i'm in love with you?
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, soft and only
Just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone, alone
Above a raging sea
That stole the only girl i loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
