Summer of Hate by Faux Jean
Summer of hate (It’s the summer of hate)
Years and the seasons tend to bleed
This Indian Summer
It is based
Not on want
Not on need
And I love the sun
When it shines down on people in love
Makes them warm
And I love the sun
But no
This is no summer of love
This is the summer of hate
And hurt
Hate
My heart hurts so bad
Hate
Oh I don’t want something for nothing
I just want something for pain
Pain
And hurt
Pain
Oh my heart
Maybe it’s just me and I forgot
To ride my bike down to hidden beach
When it was so hot
Look around have some fun
Watch the sun shine down on people in love
Make my hair wet
Look around have some fun watch the sun
Shining down on people in love
Watch the sun going down on love
But no
This is no summer of love
This is the summer of hate
And hurt
Hate
My heart hurts so bad
Hate
Oh I don’t want something for nothing
I just want something for pain
I’m not a glutton for nothing
Certainly I’ve got my needs
But baby don’t hate me
Don’t be hate
Don’t be hate
Don’t be hate
Don’t be hate
Baby, writing to say that I’m sorry now
FAKE BLOOD AND SWEAT by Faux Jean
You were down
On your luck
You were down on your knees
More than anyone needs to be
But you got up
And you threw a punch in the air
You said
“I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I deny reality
Any claim on me!”
You woke up
In a pool of blood and sweat
Then you woke up for real it was only wet
In your bed
It was the color of colorlessness
It was not red
Come to think those sheets are Venus blue
Well you think that blood is blue
I’ve got news for you
What’s in your veins
It’s all the same as mine
All the same
All the same
All the same
All aboard for the ride of your life
“Wouldn’t it be nice?”
When you were born
It kind of just seemed like you stopped being dead
And even this will end
Have no fear
For the love love love
That brought you to the ground
Though it seems so sad to be around
Sometimes
Sometimes!
Alone (and So…) by Faux Jean
Alright
Alone
Alone and so
Alone and so
Shooby doobie doobie doobie doo wah
Come on come on come on come on
Shooby doobie doobie doobie doo wah
Doin’ what you wanna do ’cause you’re
Alone
And so
Alone
And so
I didn’t have nowhere to go
So hopped
In my car
And I thought I’d drive very far
But I stopped into a shop for 3 shots see
There was a girl working there and she looked at me
She said
“Ice?”
Well I don’t know
I like it hot
I like it cold
I don’t know
I’m alone
And so
Alright
Alone and so
I said
“How is business?”
She said “slow”
“Why don’t you close the shop
And come with me?”
She said “Where?”
I just said “We’ll see
I got a quarter tank and some money for some food”
“That ain’t half bad
In fact it sounds
Very good!”
Shooby doobie doobie doobie doo wah
But let’s go!
You’re not alone anymore
You’re not alone and so
The Girl in Orange by Faux Jean
You know the color orange?
He was twenty-five
She was thirty-two
They were in a scene
Where everybody knew
What was going down
And who was doin’ who
But he had been away
And this girl she was new
Do you see that girl wearing orange
Turned my head inside out
I like the way she looks but I don’t know
How she acts
Maybe I should ask her
And if I call
Will she call me back
Don’t call me back and so no no bae-bae
Just get out!
Of my way
Such a one
That I love
LOVE
Do you see that girl wearing orange
She’s the one that I want to love
She’s over there and she’s wearing orange
I gotta get with the girl in orange
So time it came and went
Like money earned and spent
And oh his hardened heart
Was like flesh that had been rent
I finally talked to the girl in orange
I gotta say I was a mite discouraged
Like when she said I’ll give it to you straight dude
Don’t you know that I cannot date you
I gotta a girlfriend and she says she hates you
I don’t need her getting up in my face so
Get out of my way!
Such a one
That I love
Do you see that girl wearing orange
She’s the one that I want to love
She turned my head inside out
I gotta get with the girl in orange
Do you see that girl wearing orange
She’s the one that I want to love
She’s over there and she’s wearing orange
I wanna get with the girl in orange
