--------------------------- Copyright 1997 Emilys Dream --------------------------- Lyrics to Songs by Emily's Dream ================================ Space Cadet (lyrics by Ivan) ----------- I wish that I could learn to fly I wish that I could kiss this world good-bye I'd live up in the sky I'd wear a badge, and army boots I'd learn of planes and space and parachutes and maybe even how to shoot don't give up yet someday you'll learn to fly a jet space cadet last night I saw on HBO an army guy putting on quite a show he said enlistment was low I grabbed a pen, and started to write hoping that someday I would get a chance to fight its everybody’s right don't give up yet someday you'll learn to fly a jet space cadet I hit the ground as I was told I joined the force at 17 years old they said that I would fold I live to serve the general he’s self-controlled, and disciplined and kind in body and in mind don't give up yet someday you'll learn to fly a jet space cadet The Calvin & Hobbes Song (lyrics by Kurt) ------------------------ Free in their own backyard, a Tiger and his Boy Their own imagination was their favorite toy Their backyard universe took them where they wanted to go The perils of society they would never know Transmogrify the world, make it what you want it to be You’re different now so why not let everyone see Hobbes was only real ‘cause Calvin never ceased to believe Well, isn’t that how all of us should try to be Susie Derkins was a sweet, sweet little girl But when she heard of Calvin’s lunch she would nearly hurl She was only six and she worried about her weight You know her relationship with Cal would never turn out great Transmogrify the world, make it what you want it to be You’re different now so why not let everyone see Hobbes was only real ‘cause Calvin never ceased to believe Well isn’t that how all of us Christians should be Transmogrify the world, make it what you want it to be You’re different now so why not let everyone see No one ever could tell Calvin how to think or what to do Oh Calvin, how can anyone pretend to know you One of those days (lyrics by Ivan) ----------------- The house is dead and you’re all alone Sitting on that old beat up chair You’ve been talking to your goldfish all day You’ve convinced yourself that he really cares Desperately you pick up the phone Thinking of someone to call But there is nobody home Nobody no one at all Its gonna be one of those days When everything goes wrong But I’ve been there before and I know that nothing lasts forever Silently you stair at the wall Slowly you are losing your mind But you’ve got nothing to lose When everybody’s left you behind So what can I say Something that’ll make the time pass Something that’ll help you through the day But what can I do When words of inspiration fail me If you were me then they would fail you too Its gonna be one of those days When everything goes wrong But I’ve been there before and I know that nothing lasts forever But I’ve been there before and I know that nothing lasts forever Your Emerald City (lyrics by Ivan) ----------------- Life is a yellow brick road And you know it’s just like people always say You’re best to stay on that path Or the flying apes will take you away Look up, look all around Don’t let a moment pass you by If you want to go home You’re gonna have to learn how to fly You found your emerald city But you just through it away Sometimes you wish you could tap you heels And leave it all behind You found your emerald city But you just through it away Sometimes feel like your world is crashing down And you don’t know who to love Sometimes you wish you could tap your heels And leave it all behind Your emerald city... - repeated- Tricycle Song (lyrics by Ivan) ------------- My little red tricycle It is my friend It’s always been there for me It’s there till the end It goes with me everywhere It follows me to school Some kids think that I’m a dork Some kids think I’m cool But sometimes I’m greedy Sometimes I find it hard to share ‘Cause it’s not always easy I know that I’m no superman I know that I’m no king But with my little red tricycle I can do anything For lack of a better word Please hear me out My little red tricycle Is what I’m all about But sometimes I’m selfish Sometimes I find it hard to share ‘Cause it’s not always easy Bus Stops and Cheap Cigars (lyrics by Ivan) -------------------------- You left me just a memory a broken heart A fading photograph in a book of lies I thought that you were someone else And you won’t let me forget I wanted to talk to you you walked away I tried coming after you you turned away You did what he asked you to And now I just want to get away Cause people change And I won’t look back anymore Cause the past is too far behind And I’ve got to move on Cause now I see I won’t cry myself to sleep anymore And I’ll never look back And I’ll never look back Jennifer’s Airplane (lyrics by Kurt) ------------------- There’s a girl named Jennifer I saw her at lunch She brushed against me with an accidental touch And when I saw her smile at me, I used it like a crutch But she will never know that she was my secret crush A day when know one tells you where to go When everybody loves you And it’s only your first show Jennifer’s airplane can’t keep me from crashing down Jennifer’s airplane can’t keep my crumbling world around I’m drowning in the ocean So give me some of that magic potion With Jennifer’s airplane I’ll never get my feet off the ground Me and Jennifer, we took a little trip I’m in love with her, and she thinks I’m hip So I decided to write her a poem Unfortunately I forgot my glasses at home A day when know one tells you where to go When everybody loves you And it’s only your first show Jennifer’s airplane can’t keep me from crashing down Jennifer’s airplane can’t keep my crumbling world around I’m drowning in the ocean So give me some of that magic potion With Jennifer’s airplane I’ll never get my feet off the ground Flower Girl (lyrics by Kurt) ----------- What did you mean when you said goodbye? Did you want me to hold you when you started to cry? You make me smile when you say "hi" But when you talk to me, why can’t you look me in the eye? When we’re together what goes on in your head? Do you ever think of me when you lie awake in bed? You told me we could be friends, and that you like the color red But I will never know what you meant by what you said I can only talk to your silly, yellow shoes If I look up I’ll see the flowers in your hair And if I happen to glance in your eyes All day I’ll be wondering why that sparkle’s there I can only talk to your silly yellow shoes If I look up I’ll see the flowers in your hair And if I catch that sparkle in your eyes All day I’ll be wondering why I can only talk to your silly, yellow shoes If I look up I’ll see the flowers in your hair And if I happen to glance in your eyes All day I’ll be wishing that you really cared Cool Like You (lyrics by Ivan) ------------- If everyone was eight feet tall, would you and I belong If all my friends would tie their tongue’s, would I still sing this song Or would I fall If you could be a celebrity, who would you choose to be If that same choice were mine to make, there’s only one person I’d want to be And that’s me I don’t care if you hate me, I don’t care if I’m cool I don’t really care if I don’t quite fit in To be yourself is not a sin If I sent flowers to all my friends, would they make fun of me If I would sing for six straight hours, would you think less of me Well I don’t care at all I don’t care if you hate me, I don’t care if I’m cool I don’t really care if I don’t quite fit in To be yourself is not a sin Do you think that I’m groovy Do you think that I’m cool I don’t care ‘cause I’ve got a friend who likes me just the way that I am I don’t care if you hate me, I don’t care if I’m cool I don’t really care if I don’t quite fit in To be yourself is not a sin I don’t really care if I don’t quite fit in To be yourself is not a sin. Heather’s made of Plasticine (lyrics by Kurt) ---------------------------- My best friend Heather put on her brand-new sweater When it started to rain that day It made her look so cool and some guys even started to drool But she didn’t fool me for a second She didn’t change my mind when she acted that way We went for New York Fries and when I looked in her eyes She said what do you want but her expression said go away She said that we’d be friends but I knew that someday soon it would end So why do you always pretend That everything between us is okay? When people ask her, "Are you for real?" She lies and tells them that she’s just like us Then she turns away But she’s the only one At the party Who’s never ever sitting by herself Now I walk down the Ash street sidewalk on a Tuesday afternoon With somebody else’s best friend But somehow we never talk any more except about music And about other people’s problems How can they all be fooled by the show you put on? When people ask her, "Are you for real?" She lies and tells them that she’s just like us Then she turns away But she’s the only one At the party Who’s never ever sitting by herself She used to run through the rain wearing nothing at all Until people started telling her that she’d slip and fall So she bought that brand new sweater from straight off the shelf She put it on and Heather lost herself I forgot; I'm an astronaut (lyrics by Kurt) -------------------------- We could walk, or ride our bikes, or maybe take a rocket ship We could see 10,000,000 planets on our intergalactic trip We'll top it off with rocket fuel and hope it takes us all the way And if we like it here in space, maybe we'll come back someday And my friends want to see the dress that I brought home And they all want to know the knew things that I know But I tell them to leave me be I'm ashamed because After everything I've seen I'm still the same old Stephanie We could see all sorts of things that we were never meant to see Like, little people living in houses surrounded by those gum-drop trees How could I remain the same after an experience like this I'll cut my hair and dress like them, and when I shoot my blaster I'll never miss And my friends want to see the dress that I brought home And they all want to know the knew things that I know But I tell them to leave me be I'm ashamed because After everything I've seen I'm still the same old Stephanie If you left me here in space, then I'd never forget your face. But, when I got back I forgot; I'm still an astronaut. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Oh No! I forgot; I'm an astronaut --------------------------- Copyright 1997 Emilys Dream ---------------------------
