Someone To Love lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Seth Shapiro got his law degree
He moved to Brooklyn from Schenectady, '93
Got some clients in the food industry
He says it's not the money, it's the recipes
He calls his mom, says he's doing fine
She's got somebody on the other line
Puts Coldplay on, pours a glass of wine
Curls up with a book about organized crime
When it's late, and it's hot
And a date with the Late Show's all that you've got
Don't give out, don't give up
One of these nights you might find someone to love
Beth McKenzie got the job of her dreams
Retouching photos for a magazine aimed at teens
It's Thursday night she should be out on the scene
But she's sitting at home watching "The King of Queens"
There's something wrong that she can't describe
She takes the contacts out of her eyes
Sets the alarm for 6:45
So she can get a little exercise
When it's late, and it's hot
And an hour in the shower is the best that you've got
Don't give out, don't give up
One of these nights you might find someone to love
And you're not the only one who's lonely
Seth Shapiro is trying in vain
To hail a taxi in the morning in the pouring rain
Beth McKenzie sees one just up ahead
She cuts in front of him and leaves him for dead
92 Subaru lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
I bought a car of couple of ladies way off state
Took of the greenpeace sticker in the middle Hempshire plates
My friends are saying that I may have made a mistake but I
I tell'em to have a little faith now fellas just you wait
Put in the new shocks and the anti-light brakes
One touch ignition for a convenience sake
And when I'm through it's gonna look and run better than new
So baby don't make a move
Because I'm coming for you
I'm coming for you
You better make way 'cos I'm coming through
In my late 92 baby-blue subaru
My cousin kerry is taking a look at the transmition
Putting in a lime green plasma screen television
Seats feel like leather, you can't even tell that they're fake
And I only got a couple easy payments lef to make
Just a little alcohol in the glove compartiment minibar
Open up the moon-roof so we sit back and watch the stars
Oh yes and the GPS so I always know where you are
So baby don't go too far
Because I'm coming for you
I'm coming for you
You better make way 'cos I'm coming through
In my late 92 baby-blue subaru
Pumping in are some trip from some swiss mountain
Alarm system so confusing we can't even get in
This thing is a beast value will only increase
In negotiating terms I'm pissing in middleast
There's only three of it's kind they're easy to find
Got people waiting in line to pay me double for mine
So baby just let me now
Are you ready to go?
C'mon sugar let's roll
You know I'm coming for you
That's what I'm gonna do
You better make way 'cos I'm coming through
In my
You know I'm coming for you
Baby now it's true
You better make way 'cos I'm coming through
In my late 92 baby-blue subaru
Yolanda Hayes lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Quarter to three
At the DNV
That's when I saw her
She didn't see me
Behind window bee
Explaining patiently
How she needs to see
Six forms of ID
Oh tell me now
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who can you trust with your love these days
Yolanda Hayes
Quarter to four
The line's still out the door
I can see in her eyes
She's heard it all before
She's looking allright
Despite the bright from restroom lights
And I wonder she's like
When she gets home at night
Oh tell me now
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who can you trust with your love these days
Yolanda Hayes
Yolanda Hayes
Yolanda Hayes
Yolanda Hayes
It occurs to me
Suddenly
She's been here for an eternity
The hours pass, the days go by
But has anybody
Really try
To cross that line
To get inside?
A little more time
And now the girl is mine
I hit her with
My very best pick up line
She puts down my file
Stares at me awhile
And I swear I see her
Crack a little smile
Oh tell me now
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who can you trust with your love these days
Oh tell me now
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who can you trust with your love these days
Yolanda Hayes

Traffic And Weather lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
5:40
Channel Six news team
Breaking story bout a get-rich-quick scheme
One anchor turns and faces the other
Says it's time that I made you my lover
Oooh we belong together
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Oooh we belong together
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Every twenty we got business reports
We're gonna take a break and then we're right back with sports
Hey Dan I like those shorts
I've never seen em before
I'd like em even more Lying on my bedroom floor
Don't run away baby, hear what I say
You know I sit here reading to you day after day
Don't be scared, sit back down in your chair
All I want to do is Just stroke your hair
Oooh we belong together
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Oooh we belong together
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Chuck Scarborough turns to Sue Simmons
Says sugar you don't know what you're missin'
Oooh we belong together
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Oooh we belong together
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Like traffic and weather
Fire In The Canyon lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
There's fire in the canyon
Rain on the plain
And an eerie kind of sadness
On the highway today
Was it driving together
That drove us apart
Or did we change direction
Chasing arrows and hearts
We've been wandering alone such a long time
Lose our way as we go town to town
Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
And I'm checking out the road signs
Highway hotels
And their air-conditioned cable-ready cold padded cells
And we read them like stories
In trash magazines
We ain't really sure what it means
We've been wandering alone such a long time
Lose our way as we go town to town
Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
Well I'll ride this motorway
For a thousand miles a day
Til the road runs out of blacktop
Or I will this world away
And each town is steeped in rain
And I know each one by name
Cause this road is wrapped around me
And I wear it like a chain
We've been wandering alone such a long time
Lose our way as we go town to town
Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
This Better Be Good lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
I saw you holding hands
With some guy wearing light blue Dockers pants
And I thought that I might just give you a chance to explain
What the hell is in your brain
You know you pretend you're going to Sea Bright
For the long weekend but something don't seem right
And your best friend Renee keeps on saying she saw you at the Gap with somebody in a baseball cap
And you know
This better be good
This better be good
Yeah, this better be good now baby
Cause you sure don't act like you should
This better be good
Good
I thought you could be trusted
But I guess you can fess up
You're totally busted
Cause I swear you were sharing a hot dog with mustard after work with that same old polyester jerk
And you know
This better be good
This better be good
Yeah, this better be good now baby
Cause you sure don't act like you should
This better be good
Good
I know you'll deny It
But don't even try It
Your half-baked alibi's so full of holes
I think you might want to stop in at the donut shop
They might buy it
I sure won't
Revolving Dora lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Oh yeah
Revolving Dora
Hits the floor alone again
See her spinning, see her grinning at her imaginary friends
She's in her own rotating world
There's something blurry about that girl
Oh yeah
And she's turning out to be
Immune to gravity
She's a lot like you
Not much like me
Oh yeah
Revolving Dora Seems so sure about it all
She knows the score
So long before the morning papers make the call
And she's searching around the dial
For a song that'll make her smile
And she's turning out to be
Immune to gravity
And I don't know the degree
Of her grip on reality
But she sure has got a hold on me
Oh yeah
Michael And Heather At The Baggage Claim lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Michael and Heather at the baggage claim
Tired of playing the waiting game
Every bag has got a different name
Michael and Heather may never get home again
Michael and Heather at the lost and found
Looking for luggage that's soft and brown
Sir, I'm so sorry, it's just not around
Michael and Heather are glad to be on the ground
It's been a long, long day
Can't we just be on our way?
It's been a long, long day
Can't we just be on our way?
Michael and Heather on the shuttle bus
Standing alongside the rest of us Michael says,
Heather, have you had enough?
Heather says, Michael, you know that it's you I love
Strapped For Cash lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Well it was Saturday night, I was sitting in the kitchen
Checking out the women on Spanish television
Got a call from Paul who was just let out of prison
He said hey listen, there's something I'm missing
I said I'm on it, honest, it's on its way
You're gonna get your money in a couple of days, okay?
I'm just a little strapped for cash
Take it easy baby, cut me some slack, I said
I'm just a little strapped for cash
Very temporary, don't you worry 'bout that
Strapped for cash
So I headed out west to invest in the races
All the goddamn horses kept falling on their faces
Didn't fare much better at the Taj Mahal
Chalk it up to bad luck and free alcohol
And now I'm laying low, you know I'm trying to stall
But I don't know how much longer I can dodge the calls
Sayin'
I'm just a little strapped for cash
Don't you know I wouldn't do you like that
I'm just a little strapped for cash
Give me a minute you know you'll get it back
C'mon
Strapped for cash
Strapped for cash
Six bodybuilders pulled up in a Pinto
Next thing I know they're coming through the window
Hate to keep you waiting, I know times are hard
Now would you prefer a Visa or a MasterCard
Because I'm just a little strapped for cash
Take a seat, I'll be back in a flash, I said
I'm just a little strapped for cash
No need to have a heart attack
Bop shoo wop, bop bop shoo wop
I-95 lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
They sell posters of girls washing cars
And unicorns and stars
And Guns N' Roses album covers
They've got most of the Barney DVDs
Coffee mugs and tees
That say Virginia Is For Lovers
But it's not
Round here it's just for truckers who forgot
To fill up on gasoline
Back up near Aberdeen
It's a nine hour drive
From me to you
South on 1-95
And I'll do it 'til the day that I die If I need to
Just to see you
Just to see you
Hip-hop stations are fading in and out
All I'm receiving now
Is a kick drum mixed with static
Constellations are blinking in the sky
The road is open' wide
And it feels so cinematic
'Til a van
Driven by an elder gentleman
Cuts right in front of me
From then on that's all I see
It's a nine hour drive
From me to you
South on 1-95
And I'll do it til the day that I die
If I need to Just to see you
Just to see you
Hotel Majestic lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Wake up boys, we're in the dump again
Can't get a taxi, it's bucketing rain
Heading downtown with nothing in my brain
Trying to catch my breath
Tired legume in a smoke-filled room
The high school guys are making noise outside
Walking the hall with my shoes untied
Dying to catch my death
And now it's Pekoe tea
With a reflection of me
My only company
As far as I can see
We're doing this the hardest way
Back at the Hotel Majestic
Same time every day
Hey hey
Watch what you wish for, maybe wish too much?
You'll wake up in Westmoreland doubling Dutch
Aware of the uproar but numb to the touch
Sifting through bad poetry
A sweet disorder never served me as well
As a tape recorder and a worn-out Dell
Time to reorder, man I feel like hell
I wonder what's on TV
And now it's Pekoe tea
With a reflection of me
My only company
As far as I can see
We're doing this the hardest way
Stuck in the Hotel Majestic
Six nights, seven days
I wake up around two o'clock
Scrape off my eyelids and' search for my socks
Holy shit, I'm late
Now it's knock knock knock
Let's go
We're doing this the hardest way
Doing this the hardest way
Rocking the Hotel Majestic
I hope you enjoyed your stay
Hey hey
Planet Of Weed lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
I've got everything I need
Here on the Planet of Weed
There's not much going on
But it's just my speed
There's no hatred and no greed
Here on the Planet of Weed
Everyone gets along
It's quite pleasant indeed
Oh baby baby
Won't you come with me
Set your mind at ease
Set your spirit free
What a wonderful life we could lead I
Together
On the Planet of Weed
We've got magazines to read
We've got Doritos to eat
So lay back on the couch
And kick up your feet
There's a movie on TV
I've been meaning to see
It's by Oliver Stone
Oh baby baby
Won't you come with me
Set your mind at ease
Set your spirit free
What a wonderful life we could lead
Together
Forever
Life is better
On the Planet of Weed
New Routine lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
Both of them look quite a bit like Carl Reiner
One of them is smoking even though the sign says not to
The waitress says to stop, he says sorry but I've got to
They tell each other jokes that they both know that they both know
They talk about real estate, prostates, Costco
And when they finish up they leave a twenty on the table
The waitress picks it up with their half-eaten bagels
And when her shift is over she goes back to Mineola
Sits on the couch, opens up a diet cola and says
I'm so, I'm so sick of this place I'm so ready for a change of pace
I'm just looking for a new routine
So she spins her globe and the next thing you know
She's living in Liechtenstein
She doesn't speak German, only high school Spanish
But within a few weeks she discovers she can manage
But there's not much going on except for banking and skiing
So she breaks up with the man that she just started seeing
He drops her at the airport in a diesel Mercedes
Thinks to himself I'm so feeble with the ladies and I
I'm so, I'm so sick of this place
I'm so ready for a change of pace
I'm just looking for a new routine
So he grabs his cap
Throws a dart at a map
And now he's living in Bowling Green
He talks his way into
A job at La Quinta
Falls for the manager
Who's moving back to Canada
She's tried Roanoke, Reykjavik, Rome
Says you're really sweet but I just want to go home
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
One of them says I might take a trip to China
It's one of those things we should do before we're too old
Thanks but no thanks, bring me back an egg roll
Bring it back
Seatbacks And Traytables lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Seatbacks and traytables up
Stow your newspapers and cups
We're about to touch down
Midwestern town through the haze
Customs a massive expanse
And I'm digging into my pants
Is this Oklahoma
I remember this place
Trade one town for another
Delayed
Now why did we bother
An X on the calendar square
New city, same stuff
Seatbacks and traytables up
Seatbacks and traytables up
Seatbacks and traytables please
Suddenly I can't feel my knees
Second-run movies
In-flight shopping magazines
Wheezing the air up there
Got me a backache somewhere
Is that Santa Barbara II think I've
I been there
Trade one town for another
Delayed now why did we bother
An X on the calendar square
New city, same stuff
Seatbacks and traytables up
Seatbacks and traytables up
Sense Into You lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
And if you ever get the notion
To drive your car into the ocean
Baby gimme a chance
To talk some Sense Into You
And if you ever get to thinking
'Bout taking sleeping pills and drinking
Baby gimme a chance
To talk some Sense Into You
You seem like you're fine
But deep in your mind
I never know what's brewing
So if you're dreaming up ways
To call it a day
Just let me know what you plan on doing
And if you ever get the feeling
You should be swinging from the ceiling
Baby gimme a chance
To talk some Sense Into You
And if you ever get the idea
To stick a needle in your thigh, dear
Won't you give me a chance
To talk some Sense Into You
It's so hard to tell
If you're doing well
Or if it's an illusion
So if you're ever in doubt
Give me a shout
Before you jump to the wrong conclusion
You seem like you're fine
But deep in your mind
I never know what's brewing
So if you're dreaming up ways
To call it a day
Just let me know what you plan on doing
Yeah
You Gotta Go lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne
Sheepdog never seen a sheep in his life
Only an accountant and his drunk ass wife
House cat always gets worn as a hat
By the neighborhood brat, some kid named Matt
Jellyfish lying on the ocean floor
Doesn’t want to be a jellyfish no more
What are you trying to tell me?
What are you trying to sell me now?
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
I hate to break it to you but you gotta go
(Strike fear) on the floor of the stock exchange
(High five) when I drive up to the driving range
(Light beer) at the bar people look at me strange
(Find free) parking meters when I’m all out of change
What are you trying to show me?
You don’t even know me now
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
I hate to break it to you but you gotta go
Let’s go
You broke my heart and you sold it for parts
Borrowed my car now it won’t even start
You threw my keys in a pile of snow
I think you know, you gotta go
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
I hate to break it to you but you gotta go
