Juliana Hatfield: Only Everything

Gold Stars 1992-2002: The Juliana Hatfield Collection

Everybody Loves Me But You
(Juliana Hatfield) 1992 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

Well, I wake up every morning and the first thing that I say
Is that I hope that I can make it through another lonely day.
I'm afraid I might explode if I keep going on this way...

People always notice me wherever I go,
They think I'm lucky, but they dont really know.
Beauty and brains are all that I've got,
I've got a cold, cold bed and a broken heart,
A broken heart.

Everybody loves me !
Everyone but you,
But nobody undoes me
Like the thought of you can do.
They search my eyes, but [they/I] don't know why !
'Cause all I ever do is cry !
Everybody loves me
But you...

Girls wanna be me so they can pick and choose,
They figure out of ten men, there's no way that they can lose.
Men would walk the plank for me and set themselves on fire;
What do they see in me that isn't sad and
Tired ?
Tired...

I could fill my life with people who wanna be with me,
Do like when they say there's other fish in the sea.
There's a world out there and a million things to do,
But what do I care if it doesn't include you.
You...

Everybody loves me !
Everyone but you,
But nobody undoes me
Like the thought of you can do.
They search my eyes, but [they/I] don't know why !
'Cause all they ever do is cry !
Everybody loves me.

[.../A] Cold, cold bed and a broken heart,
A cold, cold bed and a broken heart,
An empty house and a broken car,
A cold, cold bed and a broken heart.


My Sister
(Juliana Hatfield) 1993 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

My sister.
My sister.
My sister...

I hate my sister, she's such a bitch
She acts as if she doesn't even know that I exist,
But I would do anything to let her know I care,
But I am only talking to myself 'cause she isn't there.

My sister.

I love my sister, she's the best !
She's cooler than any other girl that I have ever met.
She had the greatest band, she had the greatest guy...
She's good at everything and doesn't even try...


She's got a wall around her nobody could climb !...
She lets her ladder down for those who really shine...
I tried to scale it, but to me, she's blind !...
So, I lit a firecracker went off in my eye...


I miss my sister, why'd she go ?
She's the one who would have taken me to my first all-ages show.
It was the Violent Femmes and the Del Fuegos
Before they had a record out, before they went gold
And started to grow.

I miss my sister !
I miss my sister !
I miss my sister !
I really miss her !


Spin The Bottle
(Juliana Hatfield) 1993 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

He's a movie star, only drives rented cars,
Met him in a bar, said 'I know who you are',
Took him to my party ! As the games were starting !
Bottle's on the ground ! Are you ready now ?
When it comes to me, I'm gonna be ready,
It's my turn in a minute, gonna put my message in it.

Five minutes in the closet with you...

He's in a bunch of movies, really stupid movies,
It's not entirely his fault, he can't control it all,
I am not afraid ! I can hardly wait !
Truth or dare, I don't care ! Tell the truth, I dare you !
When [he/it] comes around ! When [he/it] comes around !
When [he/it] comes around ! When [he/it] comes around !
Do you feel it too, what I feel for you ?
If it was just us, would you do what I do ?

To-do-do-do... to-do-do-do...
To-do-do-do... to-do-do-do...

Everybody's watching, everybody's looking,
She is such a sucker, he don't wanna fuck her,
He is gonna kiss me ! If he doesn't miss me !
I'm ready for it now !... Already on the ground !

Five minutes in the closet with you...
Oh-oh-oh... five minutes in [a/the] closet with you !...

Spin it 'round again ! Spin it 'round again !
Spin it 'round again ! Spin it 'round again !
Spin it 'round again ! Spin it 'round again !
Spin it 'round again ! Spin it 'round again !


Universal Heart-Beat
(Juliana Hatfield) 1994 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

Beauty can be sad,
You're proof of that.
When the damage is done,
You're damaged goods.
That's not to
Say
It's not
Okay;
I wouldn't have it any other way.

A heart ! A heart that hurts
Is a heart ! A heart that works !
A heart ! A heart that hurts
Is a heart ! A heart that works !

Sweet, sweet pain comes with the sun,
Lie down and soak it up.
Burn off
Layers
Of insu-
-lators.

Exposed
Nose to the cold,

I'm bleeding pretty
Colors, yeah-heah...
All over myself...

A heart ! A heart that hurts
Is a heart ! A heart that works !
A heart ! A heart that hurts
Is a heart ! A heart that works !...
...orks...
...orks !!

Black wave comes to take me away,
I ride it almost to the grave.
Landing on a crowded shore,
High-fivin'.

What a
Trip ! I'm
Better
For it.
I feel a live sensation.

A heart ! A heart that hurts
Is a heart ! A heart that works !
A heart ! A heart that hurts
Is a heart ! A heart that works !

A heart ! A heart that hurts
Is a heart ! A heart that works !
A heart ! A heart that hurts
Is a heart ! A heart that works !...

[I was thirsty.]
Aidez-moi, j'ai besoin d'un homme.
[Help me, I need a man.]

Mountains Of Love (from "God's Foot")
(Juliana Hatfield) 1996

These feelings are mountains I can't cross or get through.
I love you for nothing, but what you were.
You lift me above me.
I'm coming to save you.

Oh God, I'm forgetting to not remember.
And in a dream I can see your face.
I gotta leave that dream in its place.
In the dark where you are.

To carry on from a place where all the dying live in the past.
To carry on from a place where all the dying live in the past.

Great numbers of pictures I'm counting and wishing.
Replaying the great scenes in my own movie.
These feelings are mountains of ether, of water.

Dissolving like teardrops after a while...
And in a dream you were on a road leading to where-I don't know.
But I won't be sad to see you go.

To carry on from a place where all the dying live in the past.
To carry on from a place where all the dying live in the past.


Fade Away (from "God's Foot")
(Juliana Hatfield) 1996

This is not a monument.
This is not a holy writ.
Pull my photo from the sun
To make way for the Coming One.

Ah...
Ah...

I am not an innocent.
This is not an accident.
In the rosy [gloom / glow] of youth,
Every moment has its truth.

[It's gonna / To] fade away.
[It's gonna / Time to] fade away
[Thank God today / And die to [wait / late]]
It's [gonna / time to] fade away.

There is nothing I can say
That is not a cliché.
[This] love is not original.
It's not irreplaceable.

Ah...

You are not the only one
Carrying [the / a] loaded gun.
This is not an attitude
That looks very good on you.

[It's gonna / Time to] fade away.
It's [gonna / time to] fade away
[Thank God today / And die to [wait / late]]
[It's gonna / Time to] fade away.

Ah...

[... / It's time to] fade away.
It's [gonna / time to] fade away.
[Thank God today / And die to [wait / late]]
It's [gonna / time to] fade away.


Sellout
(Juliana Hatfield) 1997 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

I wasn't born into royalty
But I can try to buy in
I live in the land of opportunity
And stealing, cheating, and lying
And I need you to want me

I lost my attitude
I got a tattoo
I show some tit,
And let you pinch my ass
I'll cut you some slack

So why don't you want me
Why don't you want me
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it

Should I keep smiling
Or should I start crying
I know that you love me
'Cause you said you did
You said that I was the real thing

Hey, where are you going
I thought that you told me
That if I learned how to play the game
Then I would win
If I learned how to say alright to everything

So why don't they want me
Why don't they want me
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it

Can I redeem myself
Can I get back my name
I cannot show my face
In any decent place

I was only trying to make it
And now I cannot fake it anymore
Natives have Billboard
Take me for free I'm yours
La, la, la, la, la, whoo !

It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it

It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it

It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it

It's not a sellout
I can't be blamed


Live It Up
(Juliana Hatfield) 1998 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

The Guest of honor cries tars of joy and pride.
But someone's waiting in the wings to steal your fire
And I don't want to ruin the surprise
That your house on the beach will fall into the sea.
Live it up 'cause you're going down.
This reign can't last.
It'll all dry up so fast.
The planets are flying past you.
You think it's only natural That the world will stop
And wait for you if you fall off.

Live it up 'cause you're going down.

We fantasize of your demise.
We lie in wait.
We salivate,
Visualizing your head on a plate.
You're sinking in the mud they put the pedestal on.
Hold on to your jewels.
You can hawk them later.
A variation on a theme:
You're not missing anything.

Live it up 'cause you're going down.


Sneaking Around
(Juliana Hatfield) 1998 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

Baby, you come whisper at my door.
What do I open it for ?
I'm always happy to see your face
Even though it is a discrace.

I'm sick of sneaking around.

Hide your smile.
It's broad daylight.
And don't start thinking about last night.
You can't say these things out loud
But I'm not leaving and I'm not proud.

I'm sick of sneaking around
Do me the honor of holding my hand on the plane.
Take me on public transit.
Express your feelings on the train.
We travel together over time zones and weather,
Never really touching the ground.
The only evidence I have:
Dirty pictures in my bag.
Am I ever going to see where you live ?
Am I ever going to meet your kid ?
I'm sick of sneaking around


Somebody Is Waiting For Me
(Juliana Hatfield) 2000 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

You never needed them.
You never needed anyone.
The life of the party must decline
Your invitation to dine.

And I'm sorry that I must go so soon.
Please forgive me for finding something real
And pure and true.

('Cause) somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.

I never needed this.
I never needed anyone.
I meant every word that I said,
It's true.
I wasn't talking to you.

And I'm sorry that I must go so soon.
Please forgive me for finding something real
And pure and true.

Somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.

And I'm sorry that I must go so soon.
Please forgive me for finding something real and true.

Somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.
Somebody is waiting for me.

For me, for me, for me, for me, for me

For me, for me, for me, for me, for me, for me, for me.


Cry In The Dark
(Juliana Hatfield) 2000 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

Do you cry in the dark because it's easier to be alone than to talk ?
When the words aren't working and you don't know how to explain these thoughts
Every look and every (e)motion has a deeper meaning
Everybody hurts nobody only when they're dreaming

Do you cry in the dark ?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark

And the picture of you holding hands by the fire is fading fast
And your heart is closing and you don't know how to get off this track
Every day you mime a prayer though your faith is shaken
Your godmother has got nobody because everybody's taken

Do you cry in the dark ?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark

This emotion is an ocean
The waves are getting high
I'll find an island, call it mine
I'm swimming for my life

Do you cry in the dark ?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark


Houseboy
(Lyrics: Juliana Hatfield - Music: Juliana Hatfield & Mikey Welsh) 2000 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

Could you go to the grocery store ?
I need pop tarts and orange soda
You can drive the Mercedes
If you say pretty please

You can sleep in my bed tonight
But you better not have dirty feet
And I don't like talking after I fool around
I just like to sleep

Could you go to the drug store ?
I need Advil and Robitussin and condoms
Take out the trash, give the dog a bath
Do the dishes and fix the leak in the kitchen

Little white boy, would you be my slave ?
Little white boy, would you be my slave ?
Little white boy, would you be my slave ?
Little white boy, would you be my slave ?

Little white boy, you make a great slave
Little white boy, you make a great slave


My Protégée
(Juliana Hatfield) 2000 Juliana Hatfield Music, BMI

You can touch her if you want
You can rub her if you want
She won't struggle if you want
She'll act like you turn her on

She knows just what to say
She's my protégée
So much love

There's money everywhere
So laugh at their stupid jokes
She can't live on air
But no one has to know

And if you binge, you gotta purge
She could rule the world
So much love
My protégée
My protégée

Young hearts
Understand
The future
Is in my hands

My protégée
My protégée
I taught her everything
She's gonna rock you

Every Breath You Take [originally performed by The Police]
(Sting)

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
you belong to me
how my poor heart aches
with every step you take

Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby baby please

Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor heart aches
with every step you take

Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Every move you make, every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you

(Every breath you take, every move you make,)
(Every bond you break, every step you take,)
(Every single day, every word you say,)
(Every game you play, every night you stay.)

(Every breath you take, every move you make,)
(Every bond you break, every step you take,)
(Every single day, every word you say,)
(Every game you play, every night you stay.)


Only Love Can Break Your Heart [originally performed by Neil Young]
(Neil Young)

When you were young
And on your own,
How did it feel to be alone ?
I was always thinking of games
That I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time.

But only love can break your heart.
Try to be sure right from the start.
Yes, only love can break your heart.
What if your world should fall apart ?

I have a friend I've never seen,
He hides his head inside a dream.
Someone should call him and see
If he can come out
Trying to lose the down that he's found,
But only love can break your heart.


Don't Walk Away
(Juliana Hatfield)

Live in your dreams
You're shell-shocked when you're not sleeping
Making out with scars in your eyes
In total silence.
Nothing to lose, won't you turn to me?

Ahh... don't walk away.
Ahh... don't walk away.

Your masterpiece
You saw yesterday on TV
Can you see me mouthing your name
Praying for the breakdown
When I will know what you really need

Ahh... don't walk away.
Ahh... don't walk away.

It could be true
What you do to me, [I?] don't believe
...wanna start a fire
[Melt that frozen?]
[Tears you gotta call?]

[guitar solo]

Can you hear me mouthing your name
In total silence
Aching to go, I'm so afraid

Ahh... don't walk away. [x4]

Nothing to lose, won't you turn to me ?


Your Eyes
(Juliana Hatfield) 1998

Ahhhh....
Ahh....

I was drinking alone again.
You came over, my secret friend.
Then we talked until morning knocked on the door.
Then we walked out into the light.

Your eyes made it seem like everything would be okay
Your eyes...
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be okay
Like your eyes would never close

Like an angel, you saved someone
By accepting her as she was.
There were so many things that I wanted to say
The last time I looked into them.
(into, into, into, into them)

You know what I feel.
You know what I need.

Your eyes made it seem like everything would be okay
Your eyes...
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be okay
Like your eyes would never close

Can I follow you down ?
I wanna follow you down
To the ocean floor.

Your eyes made it seem like everything would be okay
Your eyes...
Your eyes made it seem like everything would be okay
Like your eyes would never close.

Ooh.....


We Will Rise Again
(Juliana Hatfield)

In the twilight yard
We made a pact
When they took my things
And held you back.
Does it get you down
That they turned so fast
To the West and [God / got / gone?]
Shattered like glass?

We'll rise again, yeah, yeah
We'll rise again, yeah, yeah

Blinding lights
I miss the modern world
All the songs I've sung
That you've never heard
Your words, my [pen / band?]
We can write the end
We did everything that we wanted

We'll rise again, yeah, yeah
We'll rise again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Silence will end
Silence will end

Turn the record over
And [wind / mind?] the clock
In our own two hands
There's a telegram.
Busy signals ring
And machines [sing / say?]

We'll rise again, yeah, yeah
We'll rise again, yeah, yeah
We'll rise again, yeah, yeah, yeah
We'll rise again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Silence will end [x6]
Silence will end, the silence will end


Table For One
(Juliana Hatfield & Brian Vander Ark)

Table for one
Next to the window,
Where I can see reflections of
A table for two.
He's breaking the news
And I'm watching her come undone.
Can you take away
The other person's place?
I was always late;
I guess they got tired of waiting.

Table for one
Down near the back,
Where I can relax with a book in my face.
I got what I wanted--
My freedom.
So I raise this glass to myself and celebrate.
Two for one
Is what they're offering.
And when you come
Don't promise me anything.
And still I wait...
Where is my dessert?
I think I've been forgotten.

[guitar solo]

A single rose
From a fresh bouquet...
A stomach pain...
And when I go
It's all I will take away
From this godforsaken place. Back to the Juliana Hatfield Index
