VACATION
(Kathy Valentine / Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)
Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine
that you won't be in
When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should have known all along
that time would tell
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet
HE’S SO STRANGE
(Charlotte Caffey / Leonard Graves Phillps / Glen Custis / Jane Wiedlin)
He's coming out tonight
He'll walk outside the light
You'll feel him very near
Confusion nothing's clear
His presence cold and stark
Like a shadow in the dark
You're scared but you won't run
You almost wish it was over and done
You can't escape the thought of him
Do you wonder why ?
(He's so strange)
And if he brought you down to your knees
Would you cry ?
(He's so strange)
He frightens you so much
He could burn you with his touch
Everything has changed
He's so strange
You've lost all track of time
The victim of a crime
He's stolen heart and soul
He's taken all control
Is this some crazy dream?
Obsession as the main theme
Though you can't see the chains
You're the prisoner of a love so strange
GIRL OF 100 LISTS
(Jane Wiedlin)
Ghetto blasters, phony jewels
Cathedrals, castles, making up rules
Trashy novels and leather gloves
This is a list of things that I love
I am the girl of 100 lists
From what shall I wear
To who I have kissed
Check items off
Let nothing be missed
Sing I to myself and my 100 lists
Pick up your laundry, doctor's at ten
We're out of toothpaste, rehearsal again
Stop by the bank and cash my pay
These are the things I must get done today
I am the girl of 100 lists
From what shall I wear
To who I have kissed
Check items off
Let nothing be missed
Sing I to myself and my 100 lists
Ricky and Danny and Terry and Jim
Dean lasted six months-don't forget him
Perhaps some day this list will end
Till then I tally my gentlemen friends
WE DON’T GET ALONG
(Kathy Valentine)
I'm not very serious
You want me to be straight
I'm not out of time
But you think I'm too late
I'm not feeling desperate
You think I can't wait
Well somehow you always get me wrong
Somehow you always take things wrong
Somehow you always get me wrong
Well I guess we just don't get along
You always go to sleep
When I stay up all night
You say I'm wrong
When I'm thinkin' you're alright
I just wanna talk things over
You just wanna fight
Well somehow you always get me wrong
Somehow you always take things wrong
Somehow you always get me wrong
Well I guess we just don't get along
You leave me broken
And you don't realize
Everything is alright
And then you apologize
The things that really matter to me
They just pass you by
I THINK IT’S ME
(Charlotte Caffey / Belinda Carlisle)
Can't take anymore
My head's spinning 'round
Goin' back and forth
Goin' up and down
Don't know where I stand
Someone always loves a little more
And I think it's me
Sometimes I think you care
And then you don't
Then I think you will
That's when you won't
I don't know where I stand
Someone always loves a little more
And I think it's me
Wonderin' why I feel this way
Could it be something that you said
Or is it just some daydream
When I think of you and me
Then I see you pass me by
With that certain look in your eyes
And now I'm back where I began
Not knowin' where I stand
I think it's me
Go ahead now
Take a chance
Don't worry 'bout losin' another romance
I don't know where I stand
Someone always loves a little more
And I think it's me
I think it's me
I think it's me
I know it's me
IT’S EVERYTHING BUT PARTYTIME
(Jane Wiedlin / Gina Schock)
This is the place for celebrating
This is the crowd that's fascinating
This is the time for concentrating
To hear some words worth translating
He's rapping 'bout his meditating
She's dying for some medicating
And though I shouldn't be complaining
What's lacking here is entertaining
We're all looking for a good time
But what we get is empty rhyme
When everything's right but nothing's fine
It's everything but partytime
Talk about decorating
A room that needs sophisticating
When conversations become straining
No one's good at interest feigning
GET UP AND GO
(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)
If you get up and walk away
Leave the past behind
Go ahead and take a ride
No telling what you'll find
The words you say don't mean a thing
They fly right by my eyes
Look in the mirror don't look at me
Maybe then you'll realize
So get up and go
If you're so tired of moving slow
Go if you're so tired of moving slow
Go, get up and go
I was on the inside
Just looking out for you
But you're the one to make a change
There's nothing I can do
Now's the time for you to move
Actions shout out loud
So cut the talk and move your feet
Cuz words get lost in crowds
Quit talking
Start walking now
So get up and go
If you're so tired of moving slow
Go if you're so tired of moving slow
Go, get up and go
Go, get up and go (x4)
THIS OLD FEELING
(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)
This old feeling
It's new to me
I'm not sure
How I should be
I'd tattoo my vow
For all to see
To prove how much
You mean to me
A million times said
In as many songs
But before you
I could never sing along
This old feeling
It's got me up
I can't believe
My good luck
I'd wait at your door
Till eternity
Because you mean
That much to me
Well a million times said
In as many songs
But before you
I could never sing along
I love you
(Oh yes I do)
I do
I love you
(Oh yes I do)
I do
I love you
(Oh yes I do)
Yes I do
This old feeling
(What a feeling that I'm feeling)
It's got me up
(My head is reeling)
I can't believe
(My heart you're stealing)
My good luck
I'd wait at your door
(I'll be standing by your side)
Till eternity
(Until the end of time)
Because you mean
(Now that you'll be mine)
That much to me

THE WAY YOU DANCE
(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin / Kathy Valentine)
The way you dance
You move in self romance
And you don't see me watch
The way you dance
Your eyes close in a trance
So you don't see me watching
People in this place just seem to stand around
Flashing cash they eye each other up and down
You're all alone out on the floor
The music spins you 'round
It's all you came here for
The way you dance
You move in self romance
And you don't see me watch
The way you dance
Your eyes close in a trance
So you don't see me watch
I see the night that's slipping by and every song
Takes me closer to the time when you'll be gone
How can I get through
Don't wanna break the spell
Just wanna dance with you
The way you dance
You move in self romance
And you don't see me watch
The way you dance
Your eyes close in a trance
So you don't see it's me...
Who loves the way you dance
I love the way you dance
I watch the way you dance
Don't stop the way you dance
Let's dance !

WORLDS AWAY
(Jane Wiedlin / Kathy Valentine)
Walking around it's clear
That I'm worlds away
Thinking with only half my mind
Found myself wanting
To be sleeping
To be dreaming
To be worlds away
Slip into bed the sheets are
Cold and smooth
My tension melts to a quiet warm
Find myself waiting
To be sleeping
To be dreaming
To be worlds away
I wanna be worlds away
Apart from the day to day
I know I'll be okay
When I get worlds away
Worlds away
Worlds away
Worlds away
Worlds away
Slipping away to somewhere
In my heart
Go to a world where no one's been before
That's when I find myself
Not quite sleeping
But still dreaming
And I'm worlds away
