Open The Gate
(E. Stefani, G. Stefani, T. Dumont, T. Kanal, A. Young)
I see you from the distance From beyond the fence you made Hiding all your feelings behind your barricade Have you been invaded? Is this the reason why you hide? I know just how you're feeling I know Let me inside
Chorus: Open the gate up Open the gate up Hurry Open the gate up Hurry
I want to get near you But you just won't let me in Cause you're so scared of losing Everything you've got within Come on now you can trust me Come on and open the door Cause I know just how you're feeling I know I've been there before (chorus)
Hurry hurry hurry And do it right now Do it right now Do it right now Do it right now Hurry
(instrumental) And do it right now Do it right now Do it right now Do it right now (2x) Hurry (chorus)
Hurry hurry hurry Open the gate up Open the gate up Or I'm gonna knock the damn door down (4x) DownBlue In The Face
(E. Stefani)
Just like a bee rushing to a comb of honey Why can't you see you look so very funny? You worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face Relax and sleep Tomorrow isn't leaving You counting your sheep Will relieve you from this grieving You worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face
But you'll make ends meet I know you will so please pull up a chair Take your time The world's not going anywhere Honey, you worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face
Blue in the face Cause your always in a hurry Blue in the face You always tend to worry You're just like a honey bee You panic, you sting then you die
It's just like you To fret like you do So take the afternoon And maybe someday soon You won't have to worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face
But you'll make ends meet I know you will so please pull up a chair Take your time The world's not going anywhere Honey, you worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face
Blue in the face Cause your always in a hurry Blue in the face You always tend to worry You're just like a honey bee You panic, you sting then you die You're just like a honey bee Zap! zzzzzzzap!
When you're in a state of mind they call anxiety And you find it very necessary to pull out your hair Don't be discouraged Honey have courage Don't worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face Like always you worry 'til you're blue in the face Honey why worry yourself sick 'til you're blue in the face? You're always in a hurry Blue in the face You always tend to worry You're just like a honey bee You panic, you sting then you die You're just like a honey bee
Blue in the face You got no time to waste Slow down the pace You're turning blue (2x)Total Hate '95
(J. Spence, C. Leal, G. Gonzalez)
(Bradley Nowell of Sublime duets with Gwen on this song)You're livin your life without a care in the world That's the way it should be What's life like in a candy swirl? What's life like to me? Everyone is slowing down Look once at life on the ground You all are the people They're runnin' around Not making a sound Total hate Total hate Total hate
You're movin along just going your own way Don't you try to change You're jumping, you're running You learn to play You never try to rearrange Getting tired and starting to drag Slowing down and that's sad You're walking around You're being a skag That's not my bag Total hate Total hate
Bradley: You don't even know me so don't hate me Sublime rockin' No Doubt stylie We do it Monday and on Friday Get back to the show cause it's pay day 11 o' clock, roll, roll it down (Gwen: You're so fake you make me shake) Holding down Rock the city with the number one sound (Your faded face is so irate) Long beat, Long Beach and it feels so fine (You share with none, you have no one) Rock this s*** straight back to Anaheim (You're livin' your life in total hate)
Total hate (10x)Stricken
(E. Stefani, T. Kanal, G. Stefani, T. Dumont)
I love you completely I guess I'm kinda mad about you I love you I love you I do
Love overcomes all of my senses Lowers all of my defenses All of your thoughts vanish to a blind haze Your bitterness erased by my sense of taste Harsh words are deafened by love
I love you completely I couldn't be madder about you I love you I love you I do I love you completely Nothing I see's bad about you I love you I love you I do
Love welcomes me to every new day The stars are all falling down my way And all of the planets are lined in the sky The lights are shining down upon you and I My world is stricken by love
Kiss me over and over Forever and ever my love Kiss me over and over Forever and ever my love
The love I have for you Makes me blind I can't see The love I have for you Cuts my throat I can't speak The love I have for you Makes me numb I can't feel The love I have for you Makes me numb I can't feel
But boy, oh boy, oh boy I love you... completely I love you I love you I do do do doGreener Pastures
(T. Kanal, G. Stefani)
You're always telling me to go out more Go ahead, get out and see the world And then I think, Why should I? I'd rather stay home and cry
I never thought that I could be the other The other way like the other ones Let me open wide Let you see inside And then you might agree
Chorus: Would you say you find me unstable? Cause you see me look a little bit different But I know my way to greener pastures Think about it won't ya Think it over Please
Without you I can move I can stretch my arms out I can feel it And when I'm in my room alone I feel good Cause I don't have to deal with you or the outside world (chorus)
I guess I'll get over it Guess I'll get over it I guess I'll get over it Guess I'll get over it
Would you say they find me unstable? Cause they see me act a little bit different But I know my way to greener pastures (3x) Greener pastures...By The Way
(T. Dumont, G. Stefani)
By the way Every little thing about her face Fills him up The image is so pleasing it could never be erased Here to stay Embedded in his mind He wishes they could be together all the time
By the way She says things, the tone, just to hear her voice He can't explain The sound so exciting To him a perfect choice Here to stay Embedded in his mind He wishes they could be together all the time
A crazy independent Spanish-speaking, arty, flirty, Red wine-drinking Sexy tomboy with a natural way Thinking carefree Innocent she's slightly sneaky Confident and proud from another country Has her way Lives for today By the way She's far away
By the way Holding her, hugging her can feel so warm Just think about Two bodies embracing creating love in this form Here to stay Embedded in his mind He wishes they could be together all the time
A crazy independent Spanish speaking, arty, flirty Red wine drinking Sexy tomboy with a natural way Thinking crazy And then she kissed him and she went away Far across to San Francisco Bay You'd think that she would think again And only want to be with him Regardless of the things that pull her far away Far away, she's far away
A crazy independent Spanish speaking, arty, flirty Red wine drinking Sexy tomboy with a natural way Thinking crazy By the way, she's far away And by the way she's far away
A crazy independent Spanish speaking, arty, flirty Red wine drinking By the way she's far away Far awaySnakes
(T. Kanal, G. Stefani)
Open the basket Listen to the flute play Open the basket Listen to the flute play Toot toot toot, play Snakes in the basket And I led you astray Snakes in the basket Supposed to make you betray Your innermost truth hidden away
Chorus: Now your falling down to the underground Slither down to your lair Hidden in the many trenches of a hopeless war Those who were sold out by a corporate board
Carry the casket Never mind the gun spray Bury the casket Pawns in someone's gameplay Shoot shoot shoot, obey (chorus)
Listen to the flute play Subscription to the spreading of lies Soldier catches a glimpse of his demise deep down inside Even he know snakes come in many shapes and sizes Many shapes and sizes Snakes have no hands to be tied Concoction of malicious lies Deep inside the general despises himself Listen to the flute play Another reptile in line Snakes without grass cannot hide (chorus 2x)
Falling down to the underground Forked tongues spread the poison with a toxic sting So much pain their serpentine inhibitions bring Oh listen to the flute play Listen to the flute play...That's Just Me
(E. Keyes, E. Stefani)
You think that I will change But you know that will never be I'm just that way That's just me It's just the way I am and I am doing all I can Why can't you see? I just can't change I could care less what you see I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want but still keep looking I guess you just never get what you need With your eyes wide open You still keep looking for your dream That's just me
It doesn't matter what you say Cause my confidence will lead the way Words will never do Sad but true And if I didn't act this way Well it just wouldn't be the same That wouldn't do Cause I'm not you I'm not you no I could care less what you see I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want but still keep looking I guess you just never get what you need With your eyes wide open You still keep looking for your dream That's just me
With your eyes wide open You still keep looking for your dream That's just me That's just me That's just me
Well that's just the way I am I am no Larry or a Sam Why can't you see? I'm just that way Well there it is, it's right here, so crystal clear Well there it is, it's right here, so crystal clear in front of your face
You're always getting what you want but still keep looking I guess you just never get what you need With your eyes wide open You still keep looking Eyes wide open You still keep looking With your eyes wide open You still keep looking for your dreams That's just meSqueal
(E. Stefani)
I can't begin to tell you How bad I feel about it So now that it is all out How do you feel? Did you profit?
You can't keep a secret Why'd you squeal? I thought that I could trust you Why'd you squeal?
I thought we had agreed we're in this together And now that you have betrayed me I got no other options
You can't keep a secret Why'd you squeal? I thought that it was private It's a tea party and you're all invited To kill the narc who wrote it and said it
You can always smell a stinking tattletale Come out of a shell I think so they can break the link But everyone know who squeals And that's just as well A kiss of death goes out to those who rat and fink Why'd you squeal? But I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel about it
You can't keep a secret Why'd you squeal? I thought that I could trust you Why'd you squeal? It's a tea party and you're all invited To kill the narc who wrote it and said it
You dirty rat I can't begin to tell you How bad I feel about it So now that it is all out How do you feel? Did you profit?
Well tell me all the gossip Why'd you squeal? I hear the leaky faucet It's a tea party and you're all invited To kill the narc who wrote it and said it Kill the narc who wrote it and said it It's a tea party and you're all invited Who's the narc who wrote it and said it?Doghouse
(E. Stefani)
Out to the doghouse with you That's what she said You've been inside for too long I must clean the mess Go into the backyard Will you? And practice your tricks Go take yourself for a walk You make me sick
You're just a doggie In a snap, you're fetching the bone And you're barking Oh when she comes You're hiding behind the fence You've been disobedient
Your fun and playfulness is so very becoming But she has got you by the reins And there is no running Conditioned to salivate at the first Sound of the bell I'm feeding you the remains of Of yesterday's meal
Can you hear her calling From within the house? You're just a doggie In a snap, you're fetching the bone And you're barking Oh when she comes You're hiding behind the fence You've been disobedient
Your fun and playfulness is so very becoming But she has got you by the reins And there is no running Conditioned to salivate at the first Sound of the bell I'm feeding you the remains of Of yesterday's meal
Can you hear her calling From within the house? If you would stop barking She might let you out
At last she opened the back gate You're released and happy to run You've been waiting for this moment for sometime And now you must go Into the fields where there is laughter There is peace and you're comfortable Try to hold on now Before she calls you home (instrumental)
You're in the doghouse Cause you're just a dog You're in the doghouse And you're just a dog
