The Next Big Thing

Pack up the gear
Lets get to the bar
It's time to become the next big rock star
Don't forget the CDs even though you and me
It'll be a surprise if we even sell one tonight
But who can blame us, we're having so much fun
Trying to get you to sing along
And who can blame us for trying to become the next big thing
Palm mute guitar
Synthesizer hooks
We might be the best band in town
but we ain't got the looks
So call the A&R man
Tell him that we need an image change
Cause the stars are aligned
And, hey man, it's everybody's dream to get signed
But who can blame us, we're having so much fun
Trying to get you to sing along
And who can blame us for trying to become the next big thing
We're done playing gigs
We've payed our dues
We're into rocking stadiums
And other large venues
Comin' at you in hi-fi polyphony
You know the next step for us will be MTV unplugged

Daydreaming

So we just met each other
And I’ve got a good feeling about you
And we could just talk about books
And there’s other things Id like to know
Like how much of you there is go to around
And you will never know what it took
Daydreaming, can't get you out of my head
And how long will it take
Before I realize I’m in too deep
And you will never know what it took
And I’ll gladly take half of you
And treat it with the utmost care
Cause you will never know what it took

I hope you can understand me when I speak to you
I hope that it's not tough to get my point across to you
Cause I don't know you (I hope to know you)
And I want to know you (Don't walk away)
Damn these cultural barriers
And damn me for trying to break them down
I saw something in your eyes today
but neither of us knew what I was trying to say
Did you leave your boyfriend all alone back home
Did you leave everything behind (everything behind)
Cause I've been waiting here the entire time
I hope you wouldn't mind
If I took you to my favorite coffeeshop
and showed you all around my hometown
Will I ever see where you grew up?
No, I just gotta get my feet down on the ground
Damn these cultural barriers
And damn me for trying to break them down
I saw something in your eyes today
but neither of us knew what I was trying to say

Freak Me Out

they say you freak out easily
they say you're not together
I believe them
I should stay away
yet every time you walk by me
my guts turn inside out
you turn me on (I don't know why)
you freak me out (I don't know why)
I can't explain your existance
and I can't explain my resistance
you're the apple off the tree
I dare not take a bite
better to leave my head in the cold
you probably think I might
start jumping around and acting stupid
yeah you know it's something I'd do
they say you freak me out but I don't know why.
I gotta stay away from you
before I do something I shouldn't do
you turn me on (I don't know why)
you freak me out (I don't know why)
I can't explain your existance
and I can't explain my resistance
they say you freak me out but I don't know
you always freak me out but I don't know
you never seem to freak me out and I don't know why

teach me what makes you tick
tell me how you get your songs to stick
in my head, time after time
now I won't come off to skeevy
and don't you dare go and leave me
I hope you can hang out for a time
erin don't walk away
hey I've got something to say
I've been thinking about it today
for what seems like years
cause you're so freaky and funky and totally inspirational
I've gone to see you a whole three times
and you ain't got nothing to prove, but look at me I'm tryin ta be smooth
it ain't workin'
so tell me what ya think, even if the song stinks - I'll be strong
cause I never write songs like these, unless of course I'm trying to please
you
consider me in your place
just lookin' at your face is pretty incredible
so let's get a felafel
but I won't feel awful if you've got somewhere to be
erin don't walk away
hey I've got something to say
I've been thinking about it today
for what seems like years

You Close By
02:57

I think about you all the time
Can’t seem to get you out of my mind
Every minute we spend together
Outdoes the last
These last two weeks have
Gone by far too fast
Of you close by
Always a text message away
Of you close to me
Waking up to a new day
And I can’t seem to get enough of you
And I can’t seem to get enough of…
You’re a beautiful person
What more could I ask for?
Someone who cares
You’re simply amazing.
You’re slowly wrapping yourself up
In my little world
You’re becoming my everything
And I love the feeling…

This Is Vitamin Tramp

Dave and Ralph's never-ending side-project, Vitamin Tramp. Three full length albums of power/indie/folk-pop that take SiMent's sound and take it sideways and backwards. Hardly ever forward, though.
