Fountains Of Wayne (1996)

Radiation Vibe lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

Are you alone now

Did you lose the monkey

He gave you backaches

And now you slouch

He didn't mean it

He's just a dumb ape

Reading Playboy

On your couch

And now it's time to say

What I forgot to say

Baby,baby,baby

Come on, what's wrong?

It's a radiation vibe

I'm groovin on

Don't it make you want to get some sun?

Shine on, shine on, shine on

I went to Pittsburgh

And joined a pro team

Talk about a bad dream

I broke a knee

But I can still croon

And make the girls swoon

Isn't that the way life's

Supposed to be?

But now it's time to say

What I forgot to say

Baby, baby, baby

Come on, what's wrong?

It's a radiation vibe

I'm groovin on

Don't it make you want to get some sun?

Shine on, shine on, shine on

And now it's time to say

What I forgot to say

Baby, baby, baby

Come on, what's wrong?

It's a radiation vibe

I'm groovin'

Don't it make you want to get some sun?

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Baby, baby, baby

Come on, what's wrong?

It's a radiation vibe

I'm groovin on

Don't it make you want to get some sun?

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Sink To The Bottom lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

I wanna sink to the bottom with you

The ocean is big and blue

I just wanna sink to the bottom with you

Cars on the highway,

planes in the air

Everyone else is going somewhere

But I'm going nowhere,

getting there soon

I might as well just sink down with you

I wanna sink to the bottom with you

The ocean is big and blue

I just wanna sink to the bottom with you

I just wanna

Out on the highway,

up in the air

Everyone else is going somewhere

They're going nowhere,

and I'll be there too

I might as well go under with you

I wanna sink to the bottom with you

The ocean is big and blue

I just wanna sink to the bottom with you

The ocean is big and blue

I just wanna sink to the bottom with you

I just wanna

Joe Rey lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

Joe Rey came from Spain

Across the ocean in the frozen rain

And he loves

Point point pointing the finger

Joe Rey is stoned all day

With two hairdressers

in a Chevrolet

For a while

I think Joe Rey's gonna linger

Joe Rey is not so pretty

I can't understand why he's so in demand

He stays out late in the city sometimes, sometimes

Joey Rey smokes at three

Barks like a pigeon

And watches TV

He's cool, cool, cool, cooler

than I am

He knows what I don't know

Got seventeen different words for snow that he signs

Signs to a deaf girl named Diane

Joe Rey is not so pretty

I can't understand why he's so in demand

He stays out late in the city sometimes, sometimes

Joe Rey is not so pretty

I can't understand why he's so in demand

He stays out late in the city sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Joe Rey came from Spain

Across the ocean in the frozen rain

And he loves

Point point pointing the finger

Joe Rey loves

Point point pointing the finger

Joe Rey loves

Point point pointing the finger

Joe Rey loves

Point point pointing the finger

She's Got A Problem lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

I know a girl who should never be alone (Ahhh ahhh ahhh)

She's a danger to herself

And I'm worried about her health

She's got a problem

And she's gonna do something dumb

I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on (Ahhh ahhh ahhh)

Every time she goes outside

She barely gets home alive

She's got a problem

And she's gonna do something dumb

Oh yeah (oh yeah)

And I can see the signs

Oh yeah (oh yeah)

Cause she's only killing time

Oh yeah (oh yeah)

And she's not long for this world

She's a danger to herself

And I'm worried about her health

She's got a problem

And she's gonna do something dumb

She's got a problem

And she's gonna do something dumb

Survival Car lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

Don't you wanna ride in my

Survival car

We can take the long way home

Through Central Park

Funny how the ground can find my wheels

I'm going where the road ain't there

And only riding on the path we made

To Union Square

Doing like the young folks do

In west coast towns

Plowing like a banshee through

The overground

Funny how the ground can find my wheels

I'm going where the road won't dare

And only riding on the path we made

To Union Square

Everybody hit the ground

I think I might have missed my calling

Everybody turn around

The light's about to change

You better stand aside

Why you wanna walk

Don't you want to ride ride ride ride

Don't you wanna ride in my

Survival car

We can take the long way home

Funny how the ground can find my wheels

I'm going where the road won't there

And only riding on the path we made

To Union Square

And only riding on the path we made

Riding on the path we made

To Union Square

Don't you wanna ride in my

Survival car

We can take the long way home

Barbara H. lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

For a small girl Barbara sure has got a big crush

The kind that makes you want to break stuff

And blame it on a man you don't know

She came down to New York City in a big bus

Nine hours driving and you can't just stay home

So it doesn't matter which way you go

And now all day the radio's been playing the same song

Can't shake that tune but it's ok

Maybe the world isn't so small

Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all

And each day Barbara wakes up in a bad way

Tells me quietly she has absolutely nothing to say

But I don't seem to mind

She says she won't listen to the band play

She hates songs that never seem to go away

Now neither will mine

And now all day the radio's been playing the same song

Can't shake that tune but it's ok

Maybe the world isn't so small

Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all

And now all day the radio's been playing the same song

Can't shake that tune but it's ok

Maybe the world isn't so small,

Barbara knows it doesn't matter at all

Barbara knows

it doesn't matter at all

Sick Day lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

Check out the girl in the Harbor Tunnel

Crawling to work six feet under

And the day has barely begun

They're all chewing gum

And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station

Lead us not into Penn Station

Cause the best part's just begun

We're all becoming one again

And she's making the scene

With the coffee and cream

And the copy machine's not working

She's a hell of a girl

She's alone in the world

And she likes to say hey good lookin'

She's on her way

She's taking a sick day..soon

And here is the man pushing paper past her

Thinks up ways to make the day go faster

But the day goes on and on

He dreams of his lawn

And all about

the pretty careerist

the next cube over

The fat secretary,

the lunchtime lovers

'Til the path train finally comes

The platform's full of bums again

And she's making the scene

With the coffee and cream

And the copy machine's not working

She's a hell of a girl

She's alone in the world

And she likes to say hey good lookin'

She's on her way

She's taking a sick day..soon

And she's taking her time

As she's tossing a dime

At the man in the cardboard coffin

It doesn't have to be fine

She's ahead of the line

And doesn't have to be here too often

She's making a play

She's taking a sick day..soon

I've Got A Flair lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

I've got a flair

For pulling your hair

And making you crazy

Oh yeah, oh yeah

It's something I do well

I've got a flair

For making you care

You know you should hate me

Oh yeah, oh yeah

It's something I do well

Well you know I never meant to hurt no one

But I got a knack for getting things undone

And I got a way of ruining your fun

All the time

I've got a flair

For holding a stare

And holding you downtown

Oh yeah, oh yeah

It's something I can tell

Well you know I never meant to hurt no one

But I got a knack for getting things undone

And I got a way of ruining your fun

All the time

I've got a flair

For getting in your hair

And making you crazy

Oh yeah, oh yeah

It's something I do well

Leave The Biker lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

Seems the further from town I go

The more I hate this place

He's got leather and big tattoos,

And scars all over his face

And I wonder if he ever has cried

Cause he couldn't get a date for the prom

He's got his arms around every man's dream

And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special

Oh can't you see my world is falling apart?

Baby please, leave the biker

Leave the biker, break his heart

Baby please, leave the biker

Leave the biker, break his heart

Now his friend leans over and says

Looks like we got us a fag

I wonder if that guy's read one word

That wasn't in a porno mag

And I wonder if he ever has cried

Cause his kitten got run over and died

He's got his arms around every man's dream

And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special

Oh can't you see my world is falling apart

Baby please leave the biker

Leave the biker, break his heart

Baby please leave the biker

Leave the biker, break his heart

And I wonder if he ever has cried

Cause he couldn't get a date for the prom

He's got his arms around every man's dream

He crumbs in his beard from the seafood special

Oh can't you see my world is falling apart

Baby please leave the biker

Leave the biker, break his heart

Baby please leave the biker

Leave the biker, break his heart

You Curse At Girls lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

They say you curse at girls

Don't you know it isn't right

You could get yourself in trouble

You've been living in a different world

Looking for another fight

Sifting through emotional rubble

Hey boy, don't you get it

One day, you're gonna regret it when she's gone

Hey boy, you can bet it

You'll be blue

Each time you curse at girls

You curse a little at yourself

Don't you know a girl gets angry

Hey boy, don't you get it

One day, you're gonna regret it when she's gone

Hey boy, you can bet it

You'll be blue

They say you curse at girls

Don't you know it isn't right

Please Don't Rock Me Tonight lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

I was ready when the big day came

My shoes were good and polished

And you know how bad I wished

I had somebody special to blame

But you know I never care to lay

A blame on for my hairdo

You know it isn't easy to do

When the DJ isn't humming

A part of me suffers too

Baby, please don't rock me tonight

Please don't rock me tonight

I'm not in the mood

I didn't mean to make the trendy guy mad

But the feeling I'm immersed in now

Can only turn a good party bad

Somehow, somehow

You know it isn't easy to do

When the DJ isn't humming

A part of me suffers too

Baby, please don't rock me tonight

Please don't rock me tonight

I'm not in the mood

And you know it isn't easy to do

When the DJ isn't humming

A part of me suffers too

Baby, please don't rock me tonight

Please don't rock me tonight

I'm not in the mood

Please don't rock me tonight

I'm not in the mood

Please don't rock me tonight

I'm not in the mood

Everything's Ruined lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

Slow down

There's gonna be trouble

You're gonna forget

What you're doing

One false move, baby

Suddenly everything's ruined

Hold on

You're gonna be sorry

You're gonna regret

What you're doing

One false move, baby

Suddenly everything's ruined

And you ought to know

You ought to know

There's only one way this can go

You ought to know

All of the ups and downs,

the highs and lows

Slow down

There's gonna be trouble

You're gonna forget

What you're doing

One false move, baby

Suddenly everything's ruined

One false move, baby

Suddenly everything's ruined

Tell Me What You Already Did lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

(from "Robots: The Movie" soundtrack)

I'm a very busy man

So please don't waste my time kid

(Time kid)

Don't tell me what you're gonna do or what you wanna do

Tell me what you already did

(Tell me what you already did)

(What you already did, what you already did)

Tell me what you already did

(Tell me what you already did)

(What you already did, what you already did)

Tell me to hear about your plans

Just give me the bottom line kid

(Line kid)

Don't tell me what you could've done or what you should've done

Tell me what you already did

(Tell me what you already did)

(What you already did, what you already did)

Tell me what you already did

(Tell me what you already did)

(What you already did, what you already did)

I need results, I need straight answers

If I wanna fancy fool, look I would've hired a dancer, oh

I don't think you understand

A break like this is hard to find kid

(Find kid)

Don't tell me what you're gonna do or what you wanna do

Tell me what you already did

(Tell me what you already did)

(What you already did, what you already did)

Tell me what you already did

(Tell me what you already did)

(What you already did, what you already did)

Tell me what you already did

(Tell me what you already did)

(What you already did, what you already did)

Tell me what you already did

(Tell me what you already did)

(What you already did, what you already did)

Tell me what you already did

Trucks lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

This next song is about trucks

It's called "Trucks"

I'm sittin' in this living room just playin' my guitar

And now there comes a rumblin' sound from I dunno how far

I go right to the window 'til she comes into view

There's no one, nowhere, anyhow loves trucks the way I do

(Get rollin')

Big trucks and little trucks and long trucks and tall

Old trucks and new trucks, delivery or long haul

Silver trucks and rusty trucks and every truck you see

As long as it's a truck, well it's just fine by me

(Downshift, gin' uphill)

Far back as I remember, it's always been this way

Whenever I see most any truck it makes a better day

In every size and color, for anything you need

And oh, I like the music when they're shiftin' up to speed

(Skip change)

Big trucks and little trucks and long trucks and tall

Old trucks and new trucks, delivery or long haul

Silver trucks and rusty trucks and every truck you see

As long as it's a truck, well it's just fine by me

(Roll it into fifth)

There's nothin' like a pickup truck for winding dusty roads

And you can't beat a trailer truck for any heavy load

And if I had a firetruck then you could clang the bell

I'd be just fine with any truck as anyone can tell

(Open it up)

Big trucks and little trucks and long trucks and tall

Old trucks and new trucks, delivery or long haul

Silver trucks and rusty trucks and every truck you see

As long as it's a truck, well it's just fine by me

(One mile to go)

I dream about the open road and travellin' many days

And meetin' many people and all their many ways

I dream about forgotten roads and finding where they go

Tonight I'll sleep inside my truck, this is what I know

(Bring it home)

Big trucks and little trucks and long trucks and tall

Old trucks and new trucks, delivery or long haul

Silver trucks and rusty trucks and every truck you see

As long as it's a truck, well it's just fine by me

Too Cool For School lyrics - Fountains of Wayne

[from "Scary Movie" soundtrack]

He walks alone under the big city lights
He always knows just when the time is right
He never shows what he's thinking he keeps it inside
Because he's too cool for school

He comes alive oh, when the sun goes down
He gets it right you know he's always down
He got one eye open and his ear to the ground
And he's too cool for school

He's an operator
He's a real player
And if you mess with him
You know you'll never win
He's an instigator
Enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in

He's got his own way of getting things done
He's always looking out for number one
Don't try to beat him cause he's already won
And he's too cool for school

He's an operator
he's a real player
And if you mess with him
You know you'll never win
He's an instigator
Enemy eliminator
And when he knocks you better
You better let him in

He walks alone under the big city lights
He always knows just when the time is right
He never shows what he's thinking he keeps it inside
Because he's too cool for school

Because he's too cool for school

Because he's too cool for school
