THAT GIRL
That girl makes me feel like I'm no one, That girl seems to have it made
She's got the whole wide world in her pocket, Confident, unafraid
I used to always see her, I used to want to be her
That girl seems to have all the answers, That girl's never lacking for friends
I'd give anything just to trade places, Wouldn't want to be myself again
I used to always see her, I used to want to be her
I used to want to be that girl
I used to want to be that girl
I used to want to be that girl
That girl was the one they all wanted, That girl used to have it all
She used to make everyone so jealous, Secretly, I hoped that she'd fall
I used to always see her, I used to want to be her
That girl never goes out in daylight, That girl keeps the curtains drawn
I used to think that her life was perfect, Now I know I was very wrong
I used to always see her, I used to want to be her
That girl keeps her life in a scrapbook, That girl thinks of what could have been
She doesn't want to face the morning, Waking up and starting over again
I used to always see her, I used to want to be her(Chorus)

SID’S SINS
words: Helen Halloran, music: Helen Halloran & Scott Burroughs
I wake up and I feel like hell
Got nothing to do all day
Maybe I’ll go into town
Get hit by a bus on the way
They’ll see it in tomorrow’s paper
They’ll all say “that’s too bad”
They’ll talk about it for a little while
But none of them will be too sad
I died for Sid’s sins
I died for Sid’s sins
I died for Sid’s sins
Get out of bed and I look in the mirror, I got a headache from last night
I don’t remember what quite happened, judging by my bruises I lost a fight
Maybe I’ll just turn on the t.v., the rest of my life I’ll sit & stare
I don’t think anybody would miss me, they’d be glad I was out of their hair
I died for Sid’s sins, I died for Sid’s sins, I died for Sid’s sins
Look on my floor for a clean t-shirt, I can’t find my underwear
Look in my bed & there’s someone strange in it, dead or alive, I don’t care
Maybe I’ll go get my dad’s gun & kill this person before I die
He looks like shit & I wish he’d quit snoring, maybe I’ll just lay down & cry
I died for Sid’s sins, I died for Sid’s sins, I died for Sid’s sins

Industry People Theme
Hey baby, I like what I see
Hey baby, I’m a VIP
Would you like to ride in my car
Stick with me and I’ll make you a star
Let me introduce myself…
Industry People
I’ve got some chilled Cristal
Stick with me babe, you can have it all
I’ll show you New York, Paris & Rome
Put you up in my vacation home
Don’t you know who I am?
Industry People
Hey kid, you really can sing
You could be the next big thing
You don’t need the rest of the band
They hold you back, they don’t understand
Sign on the dotted line…
Industry People
Industry People – we own the airwaves
Industry People – you pay the toll
Industry People – we’ll hold you hostage
Industry People – we own your soul!
I get ten and you get one
You owe me big for the things that I’ve done
I made you and I own your ass
And I can crush you like a champagne glass
Don’t you try to cross me…

Hey baby, I like what I see
Hey baby, I’m a VIP

You Can’t Call Me Honey Anymore
Verse 1 –
I caught you runnin’ round just last night
A new girl on your arm, and that ain’t right
I wasn’t close enough to tell
But it looked like you too knew each other well
Don’t bother comin’ home
‘Cuz I might not be alone
I just might find somebody else as well
Chorus –
You can’t call me honey anymore
You lost that right
The other night
When you walked out the door
You think that I’ll forgive you like before
But you can’t call me honey anymore
Verse 2
I shouldn’t be surprised you’d break my trust
I guess my loyalty was not enough
You always teeter on the brink
You drove me nuts and then drove me to drink
Don’t call me anymore
Be happy with your whore
She’ll drop your ass as quick as you can wink
Chorus
Verse 3
Someday you’ll come crawling back to me
But I won’t be around, wait and see
There’s better things for me I know
Won’t waste my energy, it’s time to go
You won’t keep me down
I’m leaving this old town
No forwarding address or goodbye note

HEARTBREAK KINGS
1. They see me coming from miles away
The heartbreak kings will have field day
I know their M.O., but still I find
I fall for them almost every single time.
Heartbreak Kings, Heartbreak Kings
They buy you drinks & they hide their wedding rings
Heartbreak Kings, Heartbreak Kings
They promise gifts & cars & rides in limousines
I’ve got to get away from all these Heartbreak Kings
2. I fell right into another trap
This loverboy had me sitting on his lap
He kissed my neck & he told me I looked swell
And pretty soon I was on that path to hell…
Heartbreak Kings, Heartbreak Kings
They buy you drinks & they hide their wedding rings
Heartbreak Kings, Heartbreak Kings
They whisper in your ear “ain’t you a pretty thing?”
I’ve got to get away from all these Heartbreak Kings
3. I love mechanics, and even cops
I dig bike messengers & guys in coffee shops
And it don’t matter what he does for a living
‘Cuz almost any man could be a Heartbreak King
Heartbreak Kings, Heartbreak Kings
They promise gifts & cars & rides in limousines
Heartbreak Kings, Heartbreak Kings
They whisper in your ear “ain’t you a pretty thing?”
I’ve got to get away from all these Heartbreak Kings
How can I walk away from all these Heartbreak Kings?
