New Day
This is a very interesting situation I sense a gradual loss of communication Dont you think I can't see, you're changing on me?
You're heading into a completely new direction And I am having trouble making the adaptation Don't you think I can't see, you're changing on me?
Let's get back together Let's get back forever Let's get back together let's get back
If I may be so bold by making a suggestion Please ask yourself why you are making this transition Don't you think I can't see you're changing on me?
Every time I think of us I want to make it how it was Before we had much more When I think of me and you I just can't believe we're through I just can't ignore the fact you shut the door.
When I think back we had a beautiful relationship But I see the future, what's there for me is devastation from you Don't you think I can't see, you're changing on me?
Let's get back together Let's get back forever Let's get back together Let's get back

Ache
Woke up this morning and felt not too cool
'Cause every time I tried to make my mouth move
The pain that I'm having is so discomforting Please make the suffering go away
I told my mom how I was feeling
And how long I've been dealing with it Knew it was coming, but I didn't know how soon
She said I've reached another adolescent monsoon
OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helping hand
He was a well educated man, had his degree in medicine I noticed his hairy hands... he was a very, very hairy man
He looked right down in, shook his head and then said "these teeth must be pulled right away!"
OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
Why don't you lend a helping hand
He turned around, rolled up his sleeve I rolled my eyes then suddenly
A horrible pain grew, the next thing I knew
The doc had pulled my wisdom teeth... OUT!
Well along with my teeth my money also left me
As he made up the bill I was moaning
OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Where the hell is my prescription.... of codeine?
But when will I speak, how long until my mouth feels natural?
How long will they bleed, when will they heal, where's a real meal? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel?
I feel good ... I feel great ... there's no pain ... there's no ache I feel good ... I feel great ... just let me recuperate
Because the codeine has left me drowsy,leave me be ... just let me sleep!
(Eric Stefani)
Don't wait too long or
she'll be gone fast as a blink
Get on the ball if
you love you're lover
No gesture too small
Tear down the walls if you
love her
Just give it you're all
Ooo yeah, you've got to
tell her that she's the only one
Show her, make sure she'll
never feel abandoned
Get on the ball if you
love you're lover
No gesture too smal
l Tear down the walls if
you love her Just give it you're all
Don't wait too long or
she'll be gone fast as a blink
Don't wait too long
or she'll be gone fast as a blink
Ooo yeah, you've got to
tell her that she's the only one
Show her, make sure
she'll never feel abandoned
There won't be time
to even think
So use your mind and instinct
She'll drive you crazy So
don't be so damn lazy
(E. Stefani, G. Stefani)
Move On
Some chickens crossed the
road, straying
far from the hen
Five reached the side one
step below Zen
One was a female, four
were mad-men
Who moved on,moved on
moved on
Standing in line and
falling asleep
Building a fence while
we're counting the sheep
We'd like to help out but
our projects too deep
Move on, move on, move on
You have to understand
that when it comes
to making music
We meshed the styles of
five alive and
intertwined and fused it
Life comes from life and
through our strife we
strove to make it sound true
Compelled to spell it out,
in search
of what we must do
Our hose was too small so
we had to move
The neighbors had much
doubts so we had to prove
That our soulful
dimensions were too true to the groove
We, moved on, moved on,
moved on
Water the music, plant the
seeds in the pot
Music is the life flowing
through ... is it not?
Don't forget your roots,
but also don't rot
Just move on, move on,
move on
You have to understand
that when it comes
to making music
We meshed the styles of
five alive and
intertwined and fused it
Life comes from life and
through our strife we
strove to make it sound true
Compelled to spell it out,
in search
of what we must do
Don't be afraid, let your
feelings show
Wear your hearts on your
sleeve, and let yourself glow
(E. Stefani, T. Kanal, T.
Dumont, G. Stefani, A. Young)
Sad
For Me
Please Miss Fried
He don't mean to be mean
He just needs to leave
He hopes he does not
Cause you inconvenience
Why can't you see?
He says, "please
don't be sad for me"
Oh Miss Fried
Please believe you're his queen
He must fight for his dreams
Lovely Miss Fried
He will too miss you
He just needs to be free
He says, "If I should
ever cause you to
bleed... don't pretend to
be naive"
Don't take him wrong, let
him be
Sometimes he feels like he
ought to be alone
He says, "Please
don't be sad for me"
(E. Stefani, G. Stefani)
I'm not your doormat, your floormat
So don't wipe your feet on me
I'm not the only Garibaldi
There's more fish in the sea
I'm not your puppy, nor goldfish
So don't treat me like a pet
I'm not your butterfly, so
don't try
To chase me with your net
I'm not your kneaded eraser
So don't wear me down
I'm not your sledge,
sledge hammer
I'm no tool that you pound
I'm not your blacktop, for hopscotch
So don't jump all over me
I'm not the place where a
dog roams
At the bottom of a tree
Don't treat me like I have
no feelings
Don't treat me like that,
I have feelings
Don't treat me like that
Don't you treat me like that
Don't treat me like that
Don't you treat me like that
I'm not your carefree, nor sugarless
Like the gum on your shoe
I'm not the ring 'round
your finger
Nor am I wrapped around you
I'm not your shoestring,
your rope thing
So don't tie me in a knot
I'm not your asphalt, with
oil spots
So don't use me as a
parking lot
Don't treat me like I have
no feelings
Don't treat me like that,
I have feelings
(E. Stefani, T. Kanal, G. Stefani)
Can you hear that whistle
Loud clacked-clack
It's calling to me
The station is where it's at
It's coming again now
Chugging down that track
Just check your records
Got all my bags packed
You'll always find me
waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me, to
the land where my dreams come true
this time I'll board that train
It won't be long
Check the label on my package
Destination in my song
Talk to the conductor
Saved up my fare
Yakety-yak for a while
CHOO CHOO!
You'll always find me
waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me, to
the land where my dreams come true
You'll always find me
waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me, to
the land where my dreams come true
Hurry grab my luggage
Hurry grab my bags
It seems the locomotive
Has taken another track
A penny brought by mischief
A penny, a form of cash
Has been placed on the railway
We are destined to be a smash!
You'll always find me
waiting for that train to come through
Come get me, take me, to
the land where my dreams come true
(E. Stefani, T. Kanal, G.
Stefani, T. Dumont)
Trapped in a box of
tremendous size
It distorts my vision, it
closes my eyes
Attracts filthy flies and
pollutes in the skies
Sucks up our lives and
proliferates lies
Trapped in a box
Trapped in a box, four
walls as sky
Got a screen for a window
about two feet wide
My mind rides and slides
as my circuits are fried
No room for thought, use a
box as my guide
Trapped in a box
Trapped in box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
Trapped in a box, I'm not alone
I know of others with a
box as their home
Light only enters through
a crack or a hole
This is not enough for a
human to grow
Trapped in a box
Trapped in box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
Always wanting a different view
Instant gratification for you
Reality gone in a single click
Just hope that switch
won't stick
Trapped in a box my life
becomes void
All I thought for myself
is now destroyed
Controlling my mind, what
to eat, what to buy
Subliminal rules: how to
live, how to die
Trapped in a box
Trapped in box
Watch the world as it flocks
To life's paradox
We're all trapped in a box
(E. Stefani, T. Dumont, G.
Stefani, T. Kanal)
Sometimes sunshine
Does not want to shine on me
And sometimes I find
myself blind
At first I can not see and
then I see it's me
I chose a road when I was young
In search of fun
temptation won
And all my soul I did surrender
If I had a chance to go
back now
Would I redeem my moral vows
Or would I repeat for my
own laughter
Sometimes I hide somewhat
Like a bulb behind a shade
And sometimes I ask myself why
Is it cause the lights are
too bright
Or because my eyes are
closed too tight
Sometimes I find myself blind
Don't use my brain don't
use my mind
Distorted feelings always
leading my way
But I must forgive myself
And let the past lay down
to rest
And I'll be prepared to
face myself in another day
From now on I will behave
But in the back of my mind
I will be enslaved
(T. Dumont, G. Stefani, E.
Stefani, T. Kanal)
You're on a wide open ocean
No one around you for miles
You're thinkin' of
drinkin' on water
While you're sailing the Nile
No one to stop you on your way
Flyin' by goes a stork
You decide to bring in
your oars now
But accidentally knock out
the cork
Cause it is leaking and
your still drinking
Unless you Row your boat
to shore
's you cork the hole
You won't be sailing,
you'll be sinking
Not knowin' your sinkin'
You take out a bottle of rum
Swiggin' a drink to the bottom
The label reads 'Van Monchinghum'
Oars back into the water
You'll think you'll sail on
But you can't because your
boat contains
Three and a half gallons
Cause it is leaking and
your still drinking
Unless you Row your boat
to shore's you cork the hole
You won't be sailing,
you'll be sinking
Row, row, row your boat
Sail your ship to shore
You're barely, barely,
barely keepin' afloat
I hope you won't drink no more
(E. Stefani)
Yeah
I'm hungry
I'm starving
I want some food for my tummy
I want some
Pizza coke and ice cream
Popcorn cotton candy
Marshmallows milkshake and peanuts
Would be so great
Pies chips candy apples
Twinkies frosted flakes
Donuts french fries
And some chocolate cake
with mustard
Cookies avocados pancakes
Pineapple juice
Whipped cream on some raw meat
That's not all i could eat
I'm hungry
I'm starving
I want some food for my tum...
I want some
Honey roasted walnuts
Pepperoni slices
Pasta and burritos
Different kinds of rices
Cherries dipped in chocolate
Cottage cheese and jelly
Colonel sander's chicken
Still won't fill my belly
Broccoli sticky syrup
Churros dipped in sauce
Drippy sloppy joes
Then i'm full at last
Ahhh ahhh
I'm full at last
burp.
(E. Stefani)
Paulina - she's on the
cover of a magazine
Paulina - a woman in my
nightly dreams
Paulina - who makes me
grin in any pose
Paulina - I wish she'd
take off all her clothes
Paulina - well I stare at
her pictures all day long
Paulina - and as I do i
sing this song
Paulina - my father says
to act my age
Paulina - as I single
handedly turn the page
Paulina - well I paste her
pictures on the wall
Paulina - sit by the phone
and hope she'll call
Paulina - although I know
she never will
Paulina - to indulge
myself is such a thrill
Paulina - she's the big
red apple of my eye
Paulina - I wish she'd lay
down by my side
Paulina - but if she ever
knew of my pursuit
Paulina - she would
probably file a huge lawsuit
Yeah yeah oh oh oh oh
(E. Stefani)
At the end of the day you
are worn out, and too tired to sleep
But then you do dream of
wonderful things
That you might do, right
on through to the next day
And then you wake up
The sun's on your face
You're stretchin' while
you're sayin'
It's a Brand New Day!
It's a brand new day and
the sky is clear
So let's come together,
everybody cheer
Come out people from everywhere
Lets see your faces, the
day we'll share
Celebrate a Brand New Day Everyday!
Call out to the workers
and the children in the schools
It's a day of celebration
so put down your tools and
Celebrate a Brand New Day Everyday!
Come and see the mountains
and come see the shores
Mother nature is calling
so climb aboard to
Celebrate a Brand New Day Everyday!
At the end of the day
there is no doubt you are worn out
But then you do dream of
wonderful things
That you might do the next day
And then you wake up
The sun's on your face
You're stretchin' while
you're sayin'
It's a Brand New Day!
Celebrate a Brand New Day Everyday!
