Now for a change of pace:

Weezer- Jamie

Jamie, what you doin' now
What you doin' now girl?
Please, please tell me
Cuz I need to know, I need to know now
When I was down, You came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie, I want you to know

Jamie, Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

Jamie, who's faxin' you now?
Who's dialin' your car phone?
Please, please be true
You know that I trust you, do that which you must do
When I was down, You came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie, I want you to know

Jamie, Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

You've got the Beach Boys, and your firm's got the Stones
But I know you won't leave me alone
Sometimes it seems you’re not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
Sometimes it seems you’re not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much

Jamie, Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

You are the most, you're so rad, you're so fresh
And I'm so glad
I am yours, you are mine
Show me where and I will sign
When I was down, You came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting waiting

Jamie, Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

Jamie, believe me, I won't let you down
Cuz you are the best lawyer in town.

Sometimes it seems you’re not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
Sometimes it seems you’re not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
I love you so much, I love you so much


About the bands lawyer

Badfinger - "Hey Mr. Manager" and "Rock and Roll Contract"

that song that is used on every other commercial, "love song"

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

"I Hate the Man Who Runs This Bar" - Eugene Chadborne
Off of "Vermin of the Blues", I can't find a listen link or lyric sheet for it.

Supposedly about Alan McGee...

Edwyn Collins - A Means To An End

Seduced by your indifference
And your lack of inhibition
He feels he has to take you
Cause he wants what you can't give him
You'll received your invitation
You'll be summoned to his chambers
Where he'll talk at you for hours
In the gibberish of an idiot

But you've heard too many lies
Who cares? Who's keeping score?
You've heard so many lies
Who cares about one more?

So he offers you the world
And you say "beggars can't be choosers"
There's no time for indecision
Indecision is for losers
Now his money's on the table
So you know he was not bluffing
Go and sell all you believe in
For a tiny stake in nothing

But you've heard too many lies
Who cares? Who's keeping score?
You've heard so many lies
Who cares about one more?

Todd is thinking of Skynyrd - "Workin for MCA"

Seems like about 25% of Van Morrison's recorded work after 1990 is about resenting the music business.

"Big Time Operators" is a start....

Well, they told me to come on over
I made my way to new york
And they tried to have me deported
Stop me from getting work
Blacklisted me all over
They were vicious and they were mean
They were bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene

Oh, they looked like politicians
But underneath they were thugs
And they spread malicious rumours
Threatened to have me busted for drugs
They had nothing on me
Oh man, I was really clean
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene

They put a bug in my apartment
To listen in on my calls
I was looking for some motivation
I couldn't find any, any motivation at all
They were very desperate people
Riding in long black limousines
But they were bigtime operators
On the music business scene

They were glorified by the media
They were heroes who had names
They said that they would bury me
If I didn't play their game
They said I didn't know the score
And that I was young and green
They were bigame operators
On the music business scene

Tried to hold me to a phoney contract
I said I didn't agree
Had to get out of the clutches
Had to go underground you see
Now I'm living in another country
But I know exactly just where I've been
Stay away from bigtime operators
Baby, on the music business scene

Well, baby bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Oh baby, bigtime operators
On the music business scene
Well, full of names and places
Baby, you know who I mean
