Gulpin' down thorazines

Our troubles never end
No christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men
Daddy's telling lies
Baby's eating flies
Mommy's on pills
Baby's got the chills

I'm friends with the pope
We're all making a fortune
Selling daddy's dope

Hey hey hey
Why is it always this way?
Last time I saw her alive
She was wavin', wavin' bye bye
She was contemplating suicide
Now she's lying
In a bottle of formaldehyde
And oh, I just don't know
Why I can't let her go
Oh I just don't know

Why is it always this way?
Last time I saw her alive
She was going to wash and dry
She was outside hitchin' a ride
Now she's lying
In a bottle of formaldehyde

Eating chicken vindaloo

I just want to have something to do

Hanging out all by myself
Cause I don't want to be with anybody else

2. I WANTED EVERYTHING
Written by Dee Dee Ramone
3:18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard about the Easter Bunny
Presents under the Christmas tree
It was dreaming and fantasy
There was no mom or daddy
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I had the world on my shoulder
But I was getting older
Knew I was ready for it
Some kind of employment
I wanted everything...
All day working on a truck
Bringing the groceries up
Not much of a salary
No tip for the delivery
I wanted everything...
There's no success for me
Involved in a robbery
There's money in the supermarket
And I'm goin' after it
I wanted everything

3. DON'T COME CLOSE
Written by The Ramones
2:44
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You know it's generally know
You got everything at home
Kisses out of desperation
Bring you more aggravation
And you don't come close
You don't come close
You don't come close
You bring out your souvenirs
Soak them wet with your tears
You lose your imagination
Out of more aggravation
And you don't come close...
You turn red with rage
But act your age
Only thing that you regret
You need more time to forget
And you don't come close...

5. NEEDLES AND PINS
Written by Sonny Bono & Jack Nitzsche
2:21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face I love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away
And still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh I thought I was smart
I stole her heart
I didn't think I'd do
But know I see
She's worth to him then me
Let her go ahead
Take his love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to say please
And get down on her knees
Oh that's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her
Why can't I stop
And tell myself I'm wrong
I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up
And tell myself I'm strong
Because
(Repeat)
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go

And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
Oh no oh no
Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
Oh no oh no

Out of the hospital
Out against my will
Life is so beautiful
I've gone mental
Mental! Mental!
I've killed my family
They thought I was an oddity
Life is so beautiful
I am a vegetable
Mental! Mental!
I've gone mental
I've gone mental
Staring at my goldfish bowl
Popping phenobarbitol
Life is so beautiful
I've gone mental
Mental! Mental!
Sitting on my window sill
Life is so beautiful
I've become irrational
I've gone mental
Mental! Mental!
I've gone mental

Written by Dee Dee Ramone

Questioningly her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke-
Aren't you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago?
Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said, you're a girl
That I once may have knew
But I don't love you anymore
Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry
In the morning I'm at work on time
My boss he tells me that I'm doing fine
When I'm going home
Whiskey bottle movie on TV
Memories make me cry
And I'm alone just me
Just me questioningly

But in my heart I'll always be true
