Good day today
Or good tomorrow
After his debt, doing what he owe her
I know because he's a lad of mine
Who is it?
It's Junket!
Junket!
Junket!
Junket 89!

Reading from the pages of a book
Maybe a Bible or some runes
It was somehow enough to
Make the Pocket cry
Or did all his screaming victims
Make him see the error of his ways
Either way
I put all the blame on you
Watching from behind a microphone
A mask that's made of silicon
A subtle but effective way to
Punctuate the scene
Different time-zones make for the
Time I lose when I'm asleep
in bed
And my head
Is desensitised to you
Once a day
Or twice a week
Minute long
or half an hour
British accent
Posh but proper
Put the fear so deep
Inside of us
You're pretty creepy
And your voice kind of pretty
But that's okay
I like you anyhow
I'd love for you to stay
And read your stories now
If one day
You were to end you life
That would undoubtedly
Make the Scuttler cry
Then she'd find a different pastime
And everyone we know
Would up and die
Or lose their minds
And that might be even worse
Someday when You've
Had your fun And
I have sold my soul
To Satan
I will promise Mr.
Creepypasta
That I'll write one
For him too
You're pretty creepy
And your voice kind of pretty
But that's okay
I like you anyhow
I'd love for you to stay
And read your stories now

When the ground, it shakes
And the power fails
Across the city bringing
Everyone to our door
Because the light still
shine through our open windows
You try to use your phone
But your mom's not there
To pick up and answer
And it's smashed anyway
Cause I smashed it
And now we're alone together
After the...
After the quake!
It was an accident
Why do I need to explain
How my muscles work
Your taking this too far
Just like you always do
When you're under pressure
And it's a crying shame
So I cut the power
We're alone together
No, don't run away
Because I locked the doors
And now you can't escape
After the...
After the quake!
Time is moving faster
And the Richter Scale
Is reading 6.2
And I don't think we'll last
Another night like this one
After the quake!

Though voice lessons are
A waste of time
Your going through with it
You came out sounding better
Than you ever did
You're taking back what you just said
And all these thoughts inside your head
Are first and foremost getting more coherent
And they told you you’re a High Pitched Baritone
And you weren’t exactly sure what that meant
But now you know your not a High Pitched Baritone
'Cos your teacher’s mind is virtually dead
And your mom is incredibly proud of you
But the verdict left her a bit confused
How could her daughter be a High Pitched Baritone
When that is not her natural pitch at all
Get out of the car
Get into the train
Though voice lessons are
A waste of time
Your going through with it
You came out sounding better
Than you ever did
You're taking back what you just said
And all these thoughts inside your head
Are first and foremost getting more coherent
And they told you you’re a High Pitched Baritone
And you weren’t exactly sure what that meant
But now you know your not a High Pitched Baritone
Because your teacher’s mind is virtually dead
And this song is not a crack at people you know
And I don’t know how well you know your teacher guy
And if she is a woman, I’ll apologise to her
And she’ll say that I’m a High Pitched Baritone

Of all the voices she’s done
And all the roles that she’s played
Nothing can compare to the sound of her car
WHEN SHE MADE A WRONG TURN AT THE LIGHT
When she complained on her Twitter
About whether she should
Buy some new clothes
And wondered if this day could get any worse
THE ANSWER IS YES
OH!
She’s Norwalk Nora
Oh, she’s just like you
Everyone knows Norwalk Nora
No one ignores her
Even when she really really wants them to
Everyone raise you glasses to Norwalk Nora
The conversations she’s ended
And the conventions attended
Nothing can compare to the light from the taxis
AS SHE WALKED DOWN THE THE STREET WITH HER BOYFRIEND (lucky guy)
She’s Norwalk Nora
Oh, she’s just like you
Everyone knows Norwalk Nora
No one ignores her
Even when she really really wants them to
Even when she really really wants them to
Maybe one day
She’ll make a name for herself
But for now she is…
(All hail messed up Nora)
She’s Norwalk Nora
Oh, she’s just like you
Everyone knows Norwalk Nora
No one ignores her
Even when she really really wants them to

Hey!
I am the long lost
Cousin of a well-known
TV presenter
I’ve got a story to tell
It began in the year
Of 1990-ago
Outside of Boston
In the cold, dark alleys
I scraped out a living
Selling anime bootleg
DVDs to the men in
The pristine suits and jackets
In limousines
(It wasn’t something I did a lot)
Someone stop me
I’m making another mistake with my life, now
I don’t know your initials
Just your name
I just forget sometimes
That it’s not your only one
Please tell me something
That I can use as a reminder
I was going to call you
Then I remembered I don’t know you
See, I was nervous when I walked up to you
'Cos I knew you knew me
And it was embarrassing 'cos I had written all these songs about you
And I didn’t know how you’d react.
Anyway, I waited my turn and then it was my turn
And I felt like my whole life was behind me because I knew what you were going to say next
You looked at me and with that professional voice you said to me, you looked me in the eyes and said: "I know you, I met you, I forgive you"
Please tell me something
That I can use as a reminder
Then I remembered that I know you

Well I am an outcast
And you are ignored
To the point where
It's not even funny or sad
I pass you a note
And you send me back a reply
A whole list of things that
You could scream louder
Like "You've got the touch
And you've got the power"
And if it doesn't suffice
Then here's my advice for you:
Wouldn't it be better when we're dead
To not forget our lives and
Think of all the crazy things
We did to pass the time and
When we're done
We'll reminisce again
Wouldn't it be better when we're dead
To not forget our lives and
Think of all the crazy things
We did to pass the time and
Now it's done
There's nothing we can do
Ever ever ever again!
Now, if you're bored
There's something we can do
Like go to the ocean
But not swim around
I've got a skin condition
That's bothered me all my life
Well, you won the war
But you lost the battle
You risked it all
And shook the death rattle
Now there's nothing left
No, there's nothing left for you
Or me, or anybody in this class
Wouldn't it be better when we're dead
To not forget our lives and
Think of all the crazy things
We did to pass the time and
When we're done
We'll reminisce again
Wouldn't it be better when we're dead
To not forget our lives and
Think of all the crazy things
We did to pass the time and
Now it's done
There's nothing we can do
Ever ever ever again!
And teachers can never accept our way of life
But even so
I'm glad to know
That you'll give it a try
You'll give it a go go go!
Wouldn't it be better when we're dead
To not forget our lives and
Think of all the crazy things
We did to pass the time and
When we're done
We'll reminisce again
Wouldn't it be better when we're dead
To not forget our lives and
Think of all the crazy things
We did to pass the time and
Now it's done
There's nothing we can do
We were all just Classroom Dancing!

Let me tell you all the story of Jimmy
It started out when he went to the city
He never understood the danger
When you live in this world
Should have stayed in his hole
Then again, maybe not
'Cos you know,
The people who respected him
Well, they never really did
And the people who liked him
Did they ever really, then?
And the people who feared him
Maybe they had a point
Oh Jimmy!
What will you do now?
Two weeks on
Something changed
I saw him standing on the corner with a gun in his hand
I can’t forgive him for what he did to Ayumi-Tan
Erica Pratt has issued a warrant for his arrest
He fell in with a bad crowd
And now no one will help him
'Cos you know,
The people who respected him
Well, they never really did
And the people who liked him
Did they ever really, then?
And the people who feared him
Maybe they had a point
Oh Jimmy!
What will you do now?
So don’t pray for Jimmy
Don’t sell him anything
He made his choice
But I won’t kill him
I’ll leave that job to
To his new best friends
Just remember the things he did
Don’t forget all the things he did

Hello
You’ve reached the voice mail of a person in the world
She isn’t here to take your call
'Cos as this message plays
She’s out of town today
In the Philippines
Maybe California wasn’t doing what it does for everyone else
Now she’s out there living out
Her killer resume
She could have been a model
But she took a different way
Now she’s living a life
Without the problems
That arise
When you’re living life for someone else
Oliver Greene
A smalltime resident of New York, Queens
Quit his job and sold his car
And walked until he reached the western coastline
Never stopping
Even when he lost his way
Maybe something changed in him
Maybe nothing did
Now he’s out there living out
His killer resume
He could have been a actor
But he took a different way
Now he’s living a life
Without the problems
That arise
When you’re living life for someone else
Now they’re out there living out
A killer resume
They could have been a couple
But but they took their different ways
Now they’re living their lives
Without the problems
That arise
When you’re living life for someone else
Something tells me they’re gonna be alright
Something tells me there won’t be
Another verse after this part
Now they’re out there living out
A killer resume
They could have been a couple
But but they took their different ways
Now they’re living their lives
Without the problems
That arise
When you’re living life for someone else
Now she’s out there living out
Her killer resume
She could have been a model
But she took a different way
Now she’s living a life
Without the problems
That arise
When you’re living life for someone else

The Lady King sat on her throne
Waiting for someone important To come
And tell her what it was she needed to do with her life
Well, the years went by, she’s still waiting there
For someone
But her reasons for waiting changed
Somewhere along the line
And suddenly everything
Seemed to turn against her
And suddenly everything
Seemed not as good as before
A little girl pulled a Sword from a Stone
And said "Now you all shall call me your King"
And speechless and silent, the lords and the ladies obeyed
Father disagreed with his seed from his steed, and the Lady King had to put him away
Which set the pace for the rest of her lonely days
And suddenly everything
Seemed to turn against her
And suddenly everything
Seemed not as good as before
I was there
When she marched into battle
What a lady!
She
Had a banner with a
Picture of a dragon on it
And these are the dates
Of the times
Of the age
Of the days
Of the rule
Of the Lady King
The Lady King ruled long and fair
But sadly her days were to come to an end
She couldn’t keep up with the changing times she was in
Well they came with rockets and aeroplanes and tanks
Screwing up crap and taking names
The Lady King lay down and died
And suddenly everything
Seemed to turn against her
And suddenly everything
Seemed not as good as before
I was there
When she marched into battle
What a lady!
She
Had a banner with a
Picture of a dragon on it
And these are the dates
Of the times
Of the age
Of the days
Of the rule
Of the Lady King

Holy cow!
Why do you always get away with things?
It's not fair, I tell ya. It's not fair.
I wanna blow your brains out with...
I am gonna kill you.
I need to think of something, so you stay alive
as long as I want you to, because so I can kill you.
You are such an idiot idiot idiot idiot.
I can kill you with a rifle...
a shotgun, any way I want to.
Probably by cutting your toes off and working my way up,
towards your brain.
A cold freezin' night. Oh, Baby.
Oh, sing with me! Sing with me!
Boys do tougher than girls, I know that.
And, I wish I was a boy.

He is that asshole.
He's takin' a box off of his asshole.
I wish I was a boy.
Kill 'em.

I'm gonna rip your hair off.
You're gonna be bald, and everybody's gonna think...
Ay! A cold freezin' night.
Oh, Baby.
Ah, Ow, Ah, Ow.
Sing with me! Sing with me!
I believe I can soar.
Ayo, Uh! Ay.
Shake your booty.
(giant swordfight)
You are such a NERD.
Asshole.
I wish I was a boy.
You're gonna get busted.
Kill 'em! Dead.
I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna rip your hair off.
You're gonna be bald, and everybody's gonna think:
"Eh, look at Meredith, she's an idiot, ha ha ha."
