01. Champagne

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
Look out my window one more time
Seems like another day
Watch as the mailman passes by
Bringin' some bills to pay
Suddenly appears a package
Sent here by a friend, gourmet

Champagne, only for awhile now
Champagne, stop me anytime
Champagne, take me for a ride now
Champagne, used to drinking wine

Not a bad thing, thank you my friend
For relieving some pain

Look through the note that's set inside
Says to enjoy with friends
Too bad my best one said goodbye
Told me it was the end
I don't want to drink a drop now
Got nothing to celebrate

Champagne, only for awhile now
Champagne, stop me anytime
Champagne, take me for a ride now
Champagne, used to drinking wine

Such a sad thing, please my friend
Won't you heal this pain

Where could she be
So many fish in the sea
For her unfortunately
She's not the only one

Look at my new friend dressed up tight
What am I supposed to think
I'll take her out to grab a bite
Then bring her home to drink
Some of my divine love potion
Near a number nine bouquet

Champagne, only for awhile now
Champagne, stop me anytime
Champagne, take me for a ride now
Champagne, used to drinking wine

Not a bad thing, thank you my friend
For relieving some pain

Not a bad thing, thank you my friend
For relieving some pain

02. Vinyl

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
One day, while I was sleeping
Off my night that went wrong
She came, saw I was needing
Someone to put something shiny on

Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl
I dreamt a girl wearing
Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl
I dreamt a girl

One day, while I was looking
For some hip thing to wear
She was trying some pants on
I didn't notice her face or hair

Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl
I met a girl wearing
Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl
I met a girl

Is she trying to save a cow or a cotton ball
Is she trying to save a dime at the shopping mall

Someday, you might be falling
For some sweet little bird
Sometime, casually ask her
See what she does if you say the word

Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl
I want a girl wearing
Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl
I want a girl

Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl
I need a girl wearing
Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl
I need a girl, yeah

03. Girls Who Can Read Your Mind

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
I never asked her to stay
And now she's walking away
Singing "C'est La Vie"
Will I ever learn my lesson?

I didn't know what I had
And so I treated her bad
Now she's running free
Will I ever learn my lesson?

I don't believe what they tell me anymore about
Girls, girls who can read your mind
Girls, girls who know what you're thinking all the time
Girls, girls who can read your mind
If she knew what I was thinking
She would never ever leave me behind

I drank a bottle of wine
I tried to buy me some time
But something's wrong with me
And nobody wants to listen

I think of her every day
I know she's probably hangin'
Out with Donnie Vie
And they're doing more than kissin'

I don't believe what they tell me anymore about
Girls, girls who can read your mind
Girls, girls who know what you're thinking all the time
Girls, girls who can read your mind
If she knew what I was thinking
She would never ever leave me
What I was thinking
She would never ever leave me

Don't believe it
Don't believe it
Don't believe it
I don't believe about
Girls, girls who can read your mind
Girls, girls who know what you're thinking all the time
Girls, girls who can read your mind
Girls, girls who know what you're thinking all the time
Girls, girls who can read your mind

04. I'm Just In Love

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
Mama if you think I'm too crazy
I'm just in love
Mama if you think I'm too lazy
I'm just in love

Mama I know you remember
How it felt so hot in December
Mama if you think I'm crazy
I'm just in love

Mama from the moment I saw her
I was in love
Mama gonna make her your daughter
I'm so in love

Mama I know you remember
How it felt so hot in December
Mama if you think I'm crazy
I'm just in love

Mama we're gonna be married
Some time next February
So sing a song
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm just in love

Mama we're gonna be married
Some time next February
So sing a song
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm just in love
I'm just in love
I'm just in love
I'm just in love

05. The Jig

Music by J. S. Bach, arranged by Paul Gilbert
[Instrumental]

06. Girlfriend's Birthday

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
She's gonna kill me
Don't need a bullet or a gun
She's gonna drop me
After a year of havin' fun

Nothin' I can do, nothin' I can say
'Cause I just forgot my girlfriend's birthday

I just forgot my girlfriend's birthday
I just forgot my girlfriend

She's gonna leave me
She's gonna hang me out to dry
It ain't no mystery
Don't have to guess the reasons why

Nothin' I can do, nothin' I can say
'Cause I just forgot my girlfriend's birthday

I just forgot my girlfriend's birthday
I just forgot my girlfriend

Something's wrong
She can't hide
That it's been so long
Since anybody tried
To remember on the day
There's just got to be a way
To change her mind 'bout leaving me behind

She's gonna hurt me
She's gonna cut right through my skin
I keep on knockin'
But she will never let me in

Nothin' I can do, nothin' I can say
'Cause I just forgot my girlfriend
I just forgot my girlfriend
I just forgot my girlfriend's birthday

I just forgot my girlfriend's birthday
I just forgot my girlfriend's birthday
I just forgot my girlfriend's birthday

07. Bumblebee

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
Kill
Kill the pain
Put it out
Of its misery

I
Can't explain
All the doubt
All the history

So I'm sitting here
With a can of beer
Pour it in my ear
Just to see
If it makes it down
To relieve the frown
Of an angry bumblebee
Inside me

Friends
Come and go
As you know
They've got lives to lead

I
Watch them go
Carry on
On my own two feet

And I'm standing here
With a can of beer
Pour it in my ear
Just to see
If it makes it down
To relieve the frown
Of an angry bumblebee
Inside me

Buzzes 'round
And pollinates my frontal lobe
Digs my hemispheres
Into a honey comb
And calls it home
Yeah

Kill
Kill the pain
Put it out
Of its misery

I
Can't explain
All the doubt
All the history

So I'm sitting here
With a can of beer
Pour it in my ear
Just to see
If it makes it down
To relieve the frown
Of an angry bumblebee
Inside me

08. Streetlights

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
Didn't really notice
That the sun was goin' down
All that's left are the streetlights
Of this lazy desert town

Didn't really notice
That I'm all alone again
'Cause that's the way
That it's always been

If it weren't for the streetlights
There would be no light at all
Casting a shadow on my wall
My lonely wall

Watching the tail lights
From the corner of my eye
The moon and the stars must have picked
Another part of the sky

Didn't really notice
That I haven't got a friend
'Cause that's the way
That it's always been

If it weren't for the streetlights
There would be no light at all
Casting a shadow on my wall
My lonely wall

The stars of a city
Glowing ten miles away
I don't know why that makes it seem
So much farther away

Don't really care
That I'm all alone again
'Cause that's the way
That it's always been

If it weren't for the streetlights
There would be no light at all
Casting a shadow on my wall
My four lonely walls

09. My Naomi

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
I will always love you
Till the end of time
If I had the nerve to ask you
Would you be mine

I will always be there
When you need a friend
I will stay right by your side
Until the end

My Naomi
Won't you show me
All the poetry that you wrote
To keep from crying
My Naomi
Don't you know me
I'm the one who's come to make sure
That this is your last
Broken heart

We could hang together
We could check it out
We could laugh at inside jokes
That are about

All the lonely people
Drowning in the sea
Funny when you think that that was
You and me

My Naomi
Won't you show me
All the poetry that you wrote
To keep from crying
My Naomi
Don't you know me
I'm the one who's come to make sure
That this is your last
Broken heart

Anytime you wonder
If I'll be true
I'll be there to comfort
And follow through
You would too
You don't need your troubles
From yesterday
You can blink your eyes
And they'll go away

I will always need you
When I'm sixty-four
I will need you like today
But only more

My Naomi
Won't you show me
All the poetry that you wrote
To keep from crying
My Naomi
Don't you know me
I'm the one who's come to make sure
That this is your last
This is your last
Broken heart
Broken heart

10. Double Trouble

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
Got a girl named Michelle
She been treatin' me so well
I don't even want to tell you about her

Got a friend named Marie
She been so good to me
I don't know if I could ever do without her

Double Trouble
Gotta stop livin' this lie
I'm in serious trouble
Both girls wavin' bye bye

Took advice from a friend
If I want my pain to end
All I have to do is send her a letter

Soon my heart felt anew
So I started writin' two
To make myself feel twice as better

Double Trouble
Gotta stop livin' this lie
I'm in serious trouble
Both girls wavin' bye bye

Double Trouble
Gotta stop livin' this lie
I'm in serious trouble
Both girls wavin' bye bye

11. Million Dollar Smile

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
Feel so damn right
'Bout the truth here tonight
I can almost taste her
Million dollar smile

She's never had
To believe her own sadness
We should all join her
Illusion for awhile

Overnight sensations
Fighting to have their picture taken
Next to a brand new imitation
Of her little ass

Feel so damn good
In divine Hollywood
I can almost taste her
Million dollar smile

Corporate decisions
Died with her shattered inhibition
Laughs at the superficial questions
Everyone asks

Feel so damn right
'Bout the truth here tonight
I can almost taste her
Million dollar smile

I can almost taste her
Million dollar smile

I can almost taste her
Million dollar smile

12. The Jam

Music by Paul Gilbert
[Instrumental]

13. I Do

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
How I wish
I could be straight with you
It would feel
So good to tell the truth
Then you'd know why
I feel the way
I do

Always let
It go in times before
Now it's building
Into something more
Don't you know why
I feel the way
I do

I do everything I can
To be your kind of man
I tried every trick I know
To fool you, oh no

How I wish
There were a surgery
That could make
You fall in love with me
Then you'd know why
I feel the way
I do
