Hand In My Pocket

I´m broke but I´m happy

I´m poor but I'm kind

I´m short but I´m healthy, yeah

I´m high but I´m grounded

I´m sane but I´m overwhelmed

I´m lost but I´m hopeful baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything’s gonna be fine fine fine

I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I´m sober

I´m young and I´m underpaid

I´m tired but I´m working, yeah

I care but I´m restless

I´m here but I´m really gone

I´m wrong and I´m sorry baby

what it all comes down to

Is that everything’s gonna be quite alright

I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is flicking a cigarette

What it all comes down to

Is that I haven’t got it all figured out just yet

I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other is giving the peace sign

I´m free but I´m focused

I´m green but I´m wise

I´m hard but I´m friendly baby

I´m sad but I´m laughing

I´m brave but I´m chicken shit

I´m sick but I´m pretty baby

What it all boils down to

Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet

I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other is playing the piano

What it all comes down to my friends

Is that everything’s just fine fine fine

I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is hailing a taxi cab . . .

That I Would Be Good

That I would be good even if I did nothing
That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good if I got and stayed sick
That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was no longer queen
That I would be grand if I was not all knowing

That I would be loved even when I numb myself
That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy
That I would be good even if I lost sanity

That I would be good whether with or without you

Things I Want in a Lover

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?

Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?

Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know

That it alone does not equate wisdom?

Do you see everything as an illusion?

But enjoy it even though you are not of it?

Are you both masculine and feminine? politically

aware?

And don't believe in capital punishment?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover

Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that

Loving someone can actually feel like freedom? are you

funny?

à la self-deprecating? like adventure? and have many

formed opinions?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover

Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in

the matter

These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

I'm in no hurry I could wait forever

I'm in no rush cuz I like being solo

There are no worries and certainly no pressure in the

meantime

I'll live like there's no tomorrow

Are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a

week?

Up for being experimental? are you athletic?

Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? are

you not addicted? ...curious and communicative...

Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic, don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
Well isn't this nice
And isn't it ironic... don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic and yeah I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
