Do you honestly need me to tell you? My copy hasn't arrived yet as I ordered it from the states, but I have heard all of the tracks and can tell you (and I know Chloe will agree) it's well worth your money.

We were in a park, I could jump so far, Seems like all I'd ever done, was smoking pot out in the car, And a figure faded in, from the departees of my old school He says "Ben, we both know you're asleep, I've been running through these fields, it's such a lovely place you dream, Is it your imagination? It's been years since I've been on my feet."
Now it's Rocky's day, Send his soul on it's way, The sun won't be coming out, Yeah it's Rocky's day, And it's time he went way, The sun won't be coming out today
I recall, but I don't know who told me Rocky was a runner, Won a medal back in school, Now at Christmas momma says "You go up and be Rockys room", As we watched the sun go down he thanks me for my dreams, He said "I know you think you are but you're not completely free The man who's seen a spectre of departure is completely free."
Now it's Rocky's day, Send his soul on his way, The sun won't be coming out today, Yeah it's Rocky's day, Send his soul on his way, The sun won't be coming out today
Then he smiled, and he turned and walked away, He said over his shoulder, "I'll be gone when you're awake"
It's Rocky's day, Send his soul on it's way, The sun won't be coming out, Yeah it's Rocky's day, Send his soul on it's way, The sun won't be coming out today
Rocky's day, Send his soul on it's way, The sun won't be coming out today, Yeah it's Rocky's day, Send his soul on it's way, The sun won't be coming out today
Rocky--Ben Folds
this song is really catchy...

goodnight, goodnight, sweet baby the world has more for you than it seems goodnight, goodnight let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams we took a small flight in the middle of the night from one tiny place to another and my parents they remain at the shack with Lorraine and my aunt and my grandpa and brother
we walked past the tarmac and boarded the craft the rain had me chilled to the bones just the three of us took flight that night Uncle Richard, me, and James Earl Jones
and the pilot he gave me a blanket and the tall dark man sang to me in deep rich tones
goodnight, goodnight, sweet baby the world has more for you than it seems goodnight, goodnight let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
Lullabye--Ben Folds Five

David walked into the valley... With a stone, clenched in his hand. He was only a boy, but he knew someone must take a stand!
There will always be a valley, always mountains one must scale. There will always be perilous waters which someone must sail!
Into valleys, into waters Into jungles, into hell! Let us ride, let us ride home again with a story to tell! Into darkness, into danger, Into storms that rip the night! Don't give in, but give up But give thanks for the glorious fight!
You can tremble, you can fear it But keep your fighting spirit alive boys! Let the shiver of it sting you Fling into battle, spring to your feet boys! Never hold back your step for a moment, Never doubt that your courage will grow! Hold your head even higher and into the fire we goooooooo!
Are there mountains that surround us? Are there walls that block the way? Knock 'em down, strip 'em back boys And forward and into the fray!
Into terror, into valour! Charge ahead, no, never turn! Yes, it's into the fire we fly And the devil will burn!!!
Someone has to face the valley Rush in, we have to rally and win boys! When the world is saying not to By God, you know you've got to march on, boys! Never hold back your step for a moment! Never doubt that your courage will grow! Hold your head ever higher and into the fire we gooooo!
Let the lightning strike! Let the flash of it shock you! Choke your fears away! Pull as tight as a wire! Let the fever strike, Let the force of it rock you! We will have our day, sailing into the fire!
Land ho!
Someone has to face the valley Rush in! We have to rally and win boys! When the world is saying not to, By God, you know you've got to march on, boys! Never hold back your step for a moment! Look alive! Oh, your courage will grow! Yes, it's higher and higher and into the fire we goooooooo! Into fire! Onward, hooooooooooooooooo!!!

Some summers in the evenings after 6 or so I walk on down the hill and maybe buy a beer I think about my friends sometimes I wish they lived out here But they wouldn't dig this town No, they wouldn't did this town
Try not to think about it Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore Try not to think about it Alice Childress anymore no, not anymore
Alex (he definitely says Alex!!!) the world is full of ugly things that you can't change Pretend it's not that way That's my idea of faith You can blow it off and say there's good in nearly everyone Just give them all a chance Alice, give them all a chance
Try not to think about it Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore Try not to think about it Alice Childress anymore no, not anymore
No it didn't work out No it didn't work out the way we thought it would No it didn't work out An arranged marriage Is not so good
Thank God it's you, you know your timing is impecable I'm not fooling you I don't know what to do Some dude just knocked me cold and left me on the sidewalk took everything I had and everything I had
Try not to think about it Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore It's getting late where you are Alice Childress anymore no, not anymore anymore no, no
heeeeyaheyaheyhey (I don't know how to write that bit...)
-- "Alice Childress" performed by Ben Folds Five and written by Ben and his first wife and close friend Anna Goodman (I just thought, they wrote this after their divorce... I think... and they were kind of pressured into the wedding by their families - Ben says the pressure is very big down in the south - so maybe that was the inspiration for the "An arranged marriage" bridge...)

It was just before dawn, One miserable morning in black forty four. When the forward commander Was told to sit tight When he asked that his men be withdrawn. And the generals gave thanks As the other ranks, held back The enemy tanks for a while. And the Anzio bridgehead Was held for the price Of a few hundred ordinary lives.
And kind old King George Sent mother a note When he heard that father was gone. It was, I recall, In the form of a scroll, With gold leaf and all. And I found it one day In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away. And my eyes still grow damp to remember His Majesty signed With his own rubber stamp!
It was dark all around! There was frost in the ground When the tigers broke free! And no one survived From the Royal Fusiliers Company C! They were all left behind, Most of them dead, The rest of them dying! And that's how the High Command Took my daddy, from me!
All that you touch, All that you see, All that you taste, All you feel. All that you love, All that you hate, All you distrust, All you save. All that you give, All that you deal, All that you buy, Beg, borrow or steal. All you create, All you destroy, All that you do, All that you say. All that you eat, And everyone you meet. All that you slight, And everyone you fight. All that is now All that is gone All that’s to come And everything under the sun is in tune BUT THE SUN IS ECLIPSED BY THE MOOOOOOON!!!
There is no dark side of the Moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark...
- Pink Floyd

So you wanted to take a break Slow it down some and have some space
WELL FUCK YOU, TOO!!!
Give me my money back! Give me my money back! You bitch! I want my money back! And don't forget
And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt!
I wish I hadn't Bought you dinner Right before you Dumped me on your front porch!
Give me my money back! Give me my money back! You bitch! I want my money back! And don't forget
And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt!
So you wanted to take a break Slow it down some and have some space
Give me my money back! Give me my money back! You bitch! I want my money back! And don't forget
And don't forget!!!

Peter: On Monday I had drinks with Barney Rubble, We hit a couple divy little bars We noticed there was quite a lovely lady Sitting at the table next to ours Now Barney who was pretty friggin' wasted Got up and stumbled over with a groan He said "Hey just between us my neadarthalic penis is as massive as a stegosaurus bone!!!"
All cartoons are friggin' dicks! They get their kicks from being pricks It's a quirk we just can't fix Cause all cartoons are friggin' dicks
(spoken)
Meg: Did Barney really say that?
Peter: Oh yeah, he is a BASTARD...
Lois: Wow...
Peter: And he really does not give a damn about the feelings of women and, er, it's sad. It's really sad.
Brian: Well, if you think that's bad, listen to this...
(singing)
One day I met an ape of great charisma Magilla the gorilla was his name He wore a little hat and matching bow tie A fashion which has brought him great acclaim I said "What do you see as your career peak? Of all your many flashy escapades?" He said "Hey this is funky, but you're looking at the monkey who's responsible for bringing you the AIDs!!!"
All cartoons are friggin' dicks! They get their kicks from being pricks It's a quirk we just can't fix Cause all cartoons are friggin' dicks

(Singing)
I had a conversation at a party With famous rabbit hunter, Elmer Fudd He told me I just had to see his rifle And dropped it on the table with a thud! I said to him "It's quite a lovely firearm" He told me his fiancee likes it, too He said "This may be corny but it really gets me horny when I press it to her temple while we screw!"
All cartoons are friggin' dicks! They get their kicks from being pricks It's a quirk we just can't fix Cause all cartoons are friggin' dicks
(Spoken)
Peter: Oh, God!!! That is one sick bastard!!!
Stewie: Ewww... You're not kidding...

Chris: Well I got one that's even worse than that!!!
(singing)
On Friday night I went to get some candy! Some soda and some chips and other stuff Along the way, I passed a little alley And there I saw that canine cop McGruff! I said to him, "Hey you're that famous crime dog!!!" He said "I only work from 9 to 5! And now it's close to tenish and I've got a job to finish cause as you can see this hooker's still alive!!!"
All cartoons are friggin' dicks! They get their kicks from being pricks It's a quirk we just can't fix Cause all cartoons are friggin' dicks

Meg: Urgh!!! That's awful!!!
Stewie: Imagine, McGruff beating up hookers...
Peter: He is a dick... He is a dick!!!
Stewie: Yes, yes, he's a nasty cartoon!!! But I can top that... Listen to this...
(Singing)
One day as I was strolling through the forest I happened on some mushroom covered turf And there, from underneath a patch of fungus Emerged the one and only Papa Smurf!!! He said "This is our secret mushroom village!" I said "Then I'm the first to see these views?" He said "I'm only kiddin'! Cause we only keep it hidden from the Asians, Arabs, Faggots, Blacks and Jews!"
All cartoons are friggin' dicks! They get their kicks from being pricks It's a quirk we just can't fix Cause all cartoons are friggin' dicks
(Spoken)
Lois: Oh, that Papa Smurf sounds like a monster!!!
Stewie: Oh, he is a dirty, nasty racist and a biggot and a homophobe, and, you know what I did when I got home?
Brian: What?
Stewie: I called up Gargamel, and I told him where the village is!!!
(They all laugh)
Meg: Can I go next?
Lois: Of course, sweetie...
Meg: (singing)
One day I met a
(Peter interrupts, spoken)
Peter: Holy Crap!!! Look who's here... It's Jason Alexander!!!
Jason: Hey, cartoon haters!!!
Meg: But I was supposed to go next!!!
Lois: Quiet, honey, Mr. Alexander wants to talk...
Jason: I couldn't help overhearing what you were talking about and I agree - cartoons are real (bleep)ing (bleep)!!!
Brian: Yeah, that's sort of what we've been trying to communicate...
Jason: Well, get a load of this...
Peter: (laughs) He said load!!!
Lois: (laughs) I know, I heard!!!
Jason: (singing)
I once met Scooby Doo at a premier bash He looked a little haggard and he stunk He said the trouble started last December When Daphne made a pass while she was drunk! And now he's got a child out of wedlock It's dealing his career a fatal blow! I asked him "Where's the baby?" He said "Jason, buddy, maybe Now you see why friggin' Scrappy's gotta go!!!"
All cartoons are friggin' dicks! They get their kicks from being pricks It's a quirk we just can't fix Cause all cartoons are friggin' dicks
(spoken)
Peter: Wow, Scrappy is the bastard child of Scooby and Daphne!!!
Jason: Shocking, isn't it?
Peter: Yeah... Hey, you douchebags wanna wrap this up?
Choir: (singing) So let us leave you now with one suggestion A bit of wisdom you can take for free The Mickeys and the Goofys and the Daffys Are not the gentle souls they seem to be! So any time Sylvester catches Tweety Or Tom has got poor Jerry in a fix Sit back and just observe it! Cause the bastards all deserve it! Cause all cartoons are friggin' dicks!!!

everyone gather 'round now, sing us a song just in case by tomorrow it happens he's gone for two weeks and seven days our fair foreign friend I had this feeling we might never see Steven again but we thought he was gone and now he's come back again last week it was funny and now the joke's wearing thin 'cause everyone knows now, that every night now will be Steven's last night in town
he's charmed everyone here, except Tamara Easter who later revealed to him her innermost secrets won us over with stories about Linda McCartney lost points with the ladies for saying he couldn't love a woman with cellulite
but we thought he was gone and now he's come back again last week it was funny and now the joke's wearing thin 'cause everyone knows now, that every night now will be Steven's last night in town
we were talking 'bout something, seems like it was funny and then Steven got quiet I think Steven was mad maybe he wasn't mad, but we felt very strange in the moment but the moment was passed and forgotten about
we thought he was gone but he's come back again last week it was funny and now the joke's wearing thin 'cause everyone knows now, that every night now will be Steven's... last night in town (ha, ha!)

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness wakes, and stirs imagination Silently the senses, abandon their defenses, helpless to resist the notes I write... For I compose the music of the night!
Slowly, gently, night unfurls it's splendor! Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender! Hearing is believing, music is deceiving Hard as lightning, soft as candlight! How dare you trust the music of the night?
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth, and the truth isn't what you want to see! In the dark it is easy to preteeeeeend.... that the truth, is what it ought to be....
Softy, daftly, music shall caress you Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you! Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind! In this darkness which you know u cannot fight! The darkness of the music of the night!!
Close your eyes, start a journey through a strange new world! Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Close your eyes and let music set you FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Only then can you belong to me....
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication... Touch me...trust me....savor each sensation...
Let the dream begin! Let your darkest side give in! To the power of the music that I write!
The power of the music of the night!
::orchestral beautifulness ensues::
You alone can make my song take flight! Help me make the music of the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.......

So, so you think you can tell, Heaven from Hell blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade, your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange, a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year! Running over the same old ground What have you found? The same old fears Wish you were here.

I'm the mayor of a city that never sleeps Morning crawls in like a dog that just chewed up my sheets Daylight smiles like another shot at parole Denied and it's back inside
(simple, but nonetheless badass, drumbeat starts up)
I'm the captain of the team that never wins But there's always another year to try again What we lack in skill We make up in heart And our fans, they die hard
Oelayhi Oelayhi There's always something new to do without Wh-he-en you're living hand to mouth
I'm the general of an army of clowns We don't march in line no, we just kinda run around our only weapon is our own ineptitude But it seems to do
And I'm the owner of a head that won't sit still It's always "What next?" "What now? What if? What for?" until I'm so worn out I don't know what is what
Oelayhi Oelayhi There's always something new to do without When you're living hand to mouth
(guitar solo with tamborine)
Oelayhi Oelayhi There's always something new to do without When you're living hand to mouth When you're living hand to mouth When you're living hand to mouth
"Hand to mouth" by Django Haskins (also sung by International Orange, but this was transcribed from the Django version)

All around me are familiar faces, Worn out places, Worn out faces. Bright and early for the daily races Going no where Going no where Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression No expression Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow No tomorrow... And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday Happy birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen Sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me No one knew me Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson Look right through me Look right through me... And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world Mad world Enlarging your world Mad world.......
