Not What I Needed |
| I have nothing but questions |
| I need answers, those would fill me up |
| I know when I’m being catered to! |
| I know when I’m being catered to! |
| I will not settle for the lowest common denominator! |
| Hello my friend, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time |
| We have reason to believe that your soul is just like ours |
| Did you ever get the feeling you were just a little different? |
| Well, here’s our web page, you’ve finally found a home |
| Good people give good advice |
| Get a job, eat an apple, it’ll work itself out |
| It’s a phase (It's a phase!) |
| It’s chemistry (It's chemistry!) |
| It’s your own fault (It's your own fault!) |
| Well don’t listen to us |
| We’re just people too |
| I’ve been waiting all my life |
| I’ve been waiting for some real good porn |
| Something with meaning |
| Something fulfilling |
| I’d like to make my shame count for something |
| I feel so empty trying to explain this |
| His name is William Onyeabor, he’s from the 70s |
| And when I wake up in the morning |
| There are people sleeping on my couch |
| Well, I’ll have something to say about that one |
| Free people give free advice |
| Let go of the pain, let go of the fear |
| But if I let go of that |
| What will still be here? |
| Will I find out |
| That I am just people too? |
| Please say that one more time? |
| Um, yeah, I mean, uh, the intent was to sort of go back to these periods and, |
| and revisit them a little bit, especially with Teens of Style. |
| You know, |
| with Teens of Denial it was sort of contemporaneous when I was writing it. |
| You know, and what I was experiencing at the time. |
| And, uh, I guess I was just |
| out of my teenage years when I was writing things for Teens of Denial. |
| I didn’t really feel like anything had changed. |
| So, um, yeah I guess, you know, |
| the two of those albums together are sort of, they’re both an exploration of |
| past feelings and how they connect to the present and what I’m doing in the |
| present tense |
| I’m sorry, you’ll have to say that again |
| The connection must be bad. |
| Um, can you try one more time? |
| Ahh. |
| Um, when I was starting out, I, uh, recorded vocals in my car sometimes, |
| uh, just for the sake of privacy |
