NICKELBACK
Silver Side Up
1. NEVER AGAIN
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see clenching his hands
She's just a woman... never again
I hear her scream from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me... "go back to bed"
I'm terrified that she'll wind up dead in his hands
She's just a woman... never again
Just teel me nurse you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you... she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting rrom with those hands
Lookin' just as sweet as he can... never again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman... never again
Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard "don't hit a lady"
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old shit, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how fuckin' tough is that man
Pulls the trigger fast as she can... never again
2. HOW YOU REMIND ME
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'
Tired of livin' like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking
I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"
It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause livin' with me must have damn near killed you
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking
I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking
I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"
3. WOKE UP THIS MORNING
I paid my last respects this morning on an early grave
Already said goodbye... notnin' left to say
A tiny church, a tiny town and not a tear was spent
Not how I wanted it... I'm hating all of this
Now I know why I hide my love from you somedays
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me... now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
I've been a loser all my life, I'm not about to change
If you don't like it... there's the door... nobody made you stay
There ain't a woman on the planet who can deal with it
Just how I wanted it... I'm hating all of this
Now I know why I hide my love from you somedays
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me... now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
4. TOO BAD
Father's hands are lined with dirt from long days in the field
Mother's hands are serving meals in a cafe on Main Street
With mouths to feed... just tryin' to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about... is how it's so bad
It's too bad, it's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad we had not time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
You left without saying goodbye, although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time to make sure we're alive
But you weren't there right when I needed you the most
And now I dream about it... and how it's so bad
It's too bad, it's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad we had not time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Father's hands are lined with guilt from tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end, just look at where we are
We made it out... ...we still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it... ...and how it's so bad, it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, it's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad we had not time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
It's too bad, it's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad we had not time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Long time, let's walk, let's talk
5. JUST FOR
I wanted to take his eyes out
Just for looking at you
Yes I do
And I want to take his hands off
Just for touching you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind out
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
And I wnat to make him regret
Life since the day he met you
Yes I do
And I want to make him take back
All that he took from you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind out
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind out
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
6. HOLLYWOOD
Please don't be too long while you're gone
There ain't enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the walls
The new day, the new tray that comes around
Pills and all enough to kill him while he sleeps
Is this the alley we drag him to
Just off of Hollywood and Normandy
If it worked like she said it would
Just like living in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream, or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
Please don't be too long while you're gone
There ain't enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the walls
If it worked like she said it would
Just like living in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream, or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
7. MONEY BOUGHT
Cherry stem in her mouth she could tie in a knot
Favorite trick she does one of ten that she's got
Makin' friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All her looks by the book, best that money can buy
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
It keeps her company
Straight from mom and daddy
Last chance to dance out in back of the bar
Shakin' hands, nice to meet you, I don't know who you are
She has a toke and makes a joke about the alley man
Never pleasured from the treasure in a garbage can
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
It keeps her company
Straight from mom and daddy
Cherry stem in her mouth she could tie in a knot
Favorite trick she does one of ten that she's got
Makin' friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All her looks by the book, best that money can buy
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
It keeps her company
Straight from mom and daddy
8. WHERE DO I HIDE
Got a criminal record
I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list
And you're last on mine
Lookin' for a scapegoat
Long past due
Walking down the aside
Staring straight ayt you
I still hear him screaming "where di I hide?"
And all he asks and I say "hurry inside"
He said, she said...
No she don't
Be back before morning
And you know she won't
Well I remember that summer
Like yesterday
And I remember his mother
As he was dragged away
I still hear him screaming "where di I hide?"
And all he asks and I say "hurry inside"
A whole lot of memories... yours and not mine
And all he asks and I say "hurry inside"
Got a criminal record
I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list
And you're last on mine
Lookin' for a scapegoat
Long past due
Walking down the aside
Staring straight ayt you
I still hear him screaming "where di I hide?"
And all he asks and I say "hurry inside"
A whole lot of memories... yours and not mine
And all he asks and I say "hurry inside"
9. HANGNAIL
My hopes just fell - and I can't see
The reason why - why there is blood on my sleeve
And all this time - I though it mine
But it's not, it's yours and
It's not worth it for me - gets harder every time I call you
This life you lead - like livin' in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed - right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal - better ask before you borrow
And I don't see too well - don't sing too well
And so I settle to scream - just grab your shit
And leave with it - they wont make no statues of you
It's not worth it for me - gets harder every time I call you
This life you lead - like livin' in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed - right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal - better ask before you borrow
This label thief - find a better title suited for you
This tidal wave - is coming down upon you
This time I forgot it
I swear this shit was rotten
This time I believe it
Cause I've seen the shit you're needing
It's not worth it for me - gets harder every time I call you
This life you lead - like livin' in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed - right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal - better ask before you borrow
This label thief - find a better title suited for you
This tidal wave - is coming down upon you
10. GOOD TIMES GONE
Lost it on the chesterfield
Or maybe on a gambling wheel
Lost in it a diamond mine
It's dark as hell and hard to find
Well you can climb to the top of the highest tree
You can look around but you still won't see
What I'm looking for
Where the good times gone
Where the good times gone
All that stupid fun and all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone
Well I still don't know
Out in the back in the old corn field
Underneath the tractor wheel
Thought I'd dig 'till I found it first
Broke my back and died of thirst
Well you can bribe the devil, you can pray to God
You can sell off everything you've got
And you still won't know
Where the good times gone
Where the good times gone
All that stupid fun and all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone
Well I still don't know
Saw it on the silver screen
Preacher says "don't know what it means"
Last page ad in a comic book
Bought me a cap, told me where to look
It ain't carved of stone or made of wood
And if you pay for it then it ain't no good
And you still won't know
What I'm lookin' for
Where the good times gone
Where the good times gone
All that stupid fun and all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone
