Replacements - Anywhere Is Better Than Here - lyrics

You press your luck
Up against his body
Now you're stuck
But you like it down and dirty
You don't care
Where the hell you're goin'
Anywhere
Is better than goin'
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than here
Your hair is black
Oh, because you taint it
Your life's a joke so tell me, ain't it?
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than here
You press your luck
But you don't care
They play with your head
But they never stroke your hair
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than(Anywhere's better than here)
Anywhere is better than here
Anywhere
Anywhere(Is better than)
Anywhere(Is better than)
Anywhere(Is better than)
Anywhere(Is better than)
Anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere...

Replacements - Bastards Of Young - lyrics

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
It beats pickin cotton and waitin to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground, therell aint no beer tonight
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
It beats pickin cotton and waitin to be forgotten
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no word (war? ) to name us
The ones who love us best are the ones well lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones well die to please
If its any consolation, I dont begin to understand them
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
Young...take it, its yours...

Replacements - All Shook Down - lyrics

Hollywood cops
Shoot each other in bed
And I wouldnt go to see em
They put the checkbook to my head
Tinkertown liquors
Emperors checkers
Some shit on the needle
Like your record
The fifth gripping week
An absolute must
One of the years
Best aint sayin much
Throwin us trunks
As were starting to drown
Were all shook down
All shook down
Shook down
All shook down
She dont do dance
And she dont do us
The black and white blues
Oh yeah I gotem in color
The fifth gripping week
An absolute might
One of the years
Best in sight
They throw us trunks
Says were starting to drown
Were all shook down
All shook down
All shook down
Shook down
Praises they sing
A register rings
One of the time
That nobody brings
Praises they sing
Shake my hand as I drown
All shook down
All shook down

Replacements - Asking Me Lies - lyrics

Summoned through a keyhole
In a lunchbox for three
Take me to your followers
And the swingset police
You cant see the weather
Youve got to pull the blinds
Tellin you questions
Askin me lies
Well the rich are gettin richer
And the poor are gettin drunk
In a black and white picture
Theres a lot of grey bunk
Man, youre hittin them books
And hittin their streets
Wont be hard to find
Tellin you questions
Askin me lies
Happy birthday
Whosever birthday it is today
Born yesterday
Its a wonder youre still alive
And theyre tellin you questions
And theyre askin me lies
Little boy zoo
An the rock with his helpful friends
Butterfly train
Never ends, never ends
At a mexican bar mitzvah
For seven hundred years
The selfish pray
Youre gonna drive right by/live live
Tellin me lies
And theyre askin me lies
Tellin you questions
Askin me lies
Happy birthday
Whosever birthday it is today
All the sex spit in it
Gone down on this fight
Tellin you questions
Askin me lies
Theyre telling you questions
And theyre asking me lies
Telling you questions
And theyre asking me lies
Askin me lies
Lies
Lies...

Replacements - Hold Me In Suspension - lyrics

Hold me in suspension
Hold
Hold me in suspension
Hold
Cross my heart
I hope to die
Cross my fingers
When you walk by
You hold me in suspension
Hold
The colors on your bow
Are cool dark shades
All pain chips all of fate (? ? ? )
Hold me in suspension
Hold
Cross my heart
And I hope to die
Come along
From the cold outside
Hold me in suspension
Hold
You hold
Hold me in suspension
Hold

Replacements - All That We've Been Through - lyrics

By paul westerberg
All that weve been through
All that weve been through
Together now or never
Got no time
And got no wife
Got to be on my time
I dont mind
Got no women
Got no joey
Got no women
Who aint got nosy
I aint got the time
For all that weve been through
All that weve been through
All that weve been through
Together now or never
Through together
Its true
Youre pretty when youre rude
Its true
Youre pretty when youre rude
Its true
Got no time to call it off
Im drinking all the wine
Just because you are mine
Got no time to call you sweety
U know youre my number 2
Just because you are u
Now all that weve been through
For all that weve been through
Through
Together now or never
Through together
Its true
Youre pretty when youre rude
Its true
Youre pretty when youre rude
Why dont you just come right out and tell me Im a bore
And I dont even like you lady the way I liked you before
For all that weve been through
All that weve been through
All that weve been through
Together now or never
Through together
Its true
Youre pretty when youre rude
Its true
Youre pretty when youre rude

Replacements - Answering Machine - lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4
Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never gonna be together
My courage is at its peak
You know what I mean
How do say youre o.k. to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?
Big towns got its losers
Small towns got its vices
A handful of friends
One needs a match, one needs some ice
Call-waiting phone in another time zone
How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine?
How do say good night to
An answering machine?
I get enough of that
Try to free a slave of ignorance
Try and teach a whore about romance
How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?
How do you say Im lonely to
An answering machine?
The message is very plain
Oh, I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine...
2-1-2
3-1-3
2-1-2
3-1-3

Replacements - Androgynous - lyrics

Here come dick, hes wearing a skirt
Here comes jane, yknow shes sporting a chain
Same hair, revolution
Same build, evolution
Tomorrow whos gonna fuss
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous
Dont get him wrong and dont get him mad
He might be a father, but he sure aint a dad
And she dont need advice thatll center her
Shes happy with the way she looks
Shes happy with her gender
Mirror image, see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at
The way youre laughed at now
Now, something meets boy, and something meets girl
They both look the same
Theyre overjoyed in this world
Same hair, revolution
Unisex, evolution
Tomorrow whos gonna fuss
And tomorrow dick is wearing pants
And tomorrow janies wearing a dress
Future outcasts and they dont last
And today, the people dress the way that they please
The way they tried to do in the last centuries

Replacements - Achin' To Be - lyrics

Well shes kind of like an artist
Sittin on the floor
Never finishes, she abandons
Never shows a soul
And shes kind of like a movie
Everyone rushes to see
And no one understands it
Sittin in their seats
She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes outs a mystery
Thought about, not understood
Shes achin to be
Well she dances alone in nightclubs
Every other day of the week
People look right through her
Baby doll, check your cheek
And shes kind of like a poet
Who finds it hard to speak
Poems come so slowly
Like the colors down a sheet
She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes outs a mystery
Thought about, not understood
Shes achin to be
Ive been achin for a while now, friend
Ive been achin hard for years
Well shes kind of like an artist
Who uses paints no more
You never show me what youre doing
Never show a soul
Well, I saw one of your pictures
There was nothin that I could see
If no ones on your canvas
Well, Im achin to be
She closes her mouth to speak and
Closes her eyes to see
Thought about an only loved
Shes achin to be
Just like me

Replacements - Alex Chilton - lyrics

If he was from venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from mars, wouldnt that be cool?
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
Hangin down in memphis all the while.
(chorus:)
Children by the million sing for alex chilton when he comes round
They sing Im in love. whats that song?
Im in love with that song.
Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice.
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face.
Checkin his stash by the trash at st. marks place.
(chorus)
I never travel far, without a little big star
Runnin round the house, mickey mouse and the tarot cards.
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on.
If he was from venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in memphis, then thatd be cool, babe.
(chorus)
