==Lyrics==
Been alone so many times before
Time's a-wastin', time's a-wastin'
Singing songs behind a bolted door
Time's a-wastin', time's a-wastin'
And now the clock keeps ticking on
It's like my own private time bomb
But then you came along
And now we're famous
You and I, we do it right
Hanging out on a summer night
We've come so far, we shine so bright
Hanging out on a summer night
We're getting stronger, stronger
Going faster, faster, woah, woah
You and I, we do it right
Hanging out on a summer night, again
I screwed it up so many times before
I'm like a hoodlum, like a hoodlum
But when you're near I wanna stop the war
And be a porch bum, be a porch bum
I guess I want to apologize
As I look you in the eyes
We'll break through to the other side
And that's a promise
You and I, we do it right
Hanging out on a summer night
We've come so far, we shine so bright
Hanging out on a summer night
We're getting stronger, stronger
Going faster, faster, woah, woah
You and I, we do it right
Hanging out on a summer night, again
I love life with you, with you
I love life with you, with you
I'm an early riser
Since the day I met you
And I love life with you, with you, with
You and I, we do it right
Hanging out on a summer night
We've come so far, we shine so bright
Hanging out on a summer night
We're getting stronger, stronger
Going faster, faster, woah, woah
You and I, we do it right
Hanging out on a summer night, again

I've been watching from the door

Lost and helpless on my own
I need someone here at home
Can we ball today?

Going thirsty makes me weak
Give me something cool to do

==Lyrics==
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money when you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was heaven sent?
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
See how they run
Lady Madonna, lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night your stockings needed mending
See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

Ты знаешь историю
Посмотри на нее
Таких я видела только на обложке книги
У меня была одна и я ее прочла
Она передержана 
Я пригласил ее, она посмотрела на меня как смотр...старую суку
У меня был шанс, я его потеряла
Это было давно, я передержана
Что не так со мной и тобой
Это было давно, я передержана
Я передержана
Верни меня к тебе 
Ты знаешь историю
Верни меня к тебе
Верни меня к тебе
[Translated from Russian:]
"You know the story
Look at her
I've only seen her on a book cover
I had one and I read it
It's overdue
I asked her out, she looked at me like...old bitch
I had one chance, I lost it
It's been so long, I'm overdue
What's so wrong with me and you
It's been so long, I'm overdue
I'm overdue
Return me back to you
You know the story
Return me back to you
Return me back to you"

Last Chance

"Last Chance" (also known as "Our Last Chance") is an unreleased Weezer song recorded during sessions for 2005 album, Make Believe. A solo demo by Rivers Cuomo was released in November of 2020 as a part of the digital compilation Alone IX: The Make Believe Years.
===Appearances===
*Alone IX: The Make Believe Years (2020)
==Overview==
"Last Chance" is a reworking of previous demos: "Purple Flowers," "Always, Forever," and "The Strong Ones." It is first known to have been demoed by Rivers Cuomo in July of 2004 at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles. "Last Chance" was one of twelve songs that Cuomo instinctively felt was right for the album when the band decided to begin production on Make Believe at Grandmaster Recorders, beginning on July 22, 2004. According to Karl Koch, the song featured a "raucous group backing vocal session" by himself, Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell, and Scott Shriner, "intentionally replete with whoops, clapping, goofing around and rambunctious hi-jinks rarely heard in Weezer pro studio recordings." "Last Chance" was completed (sans a final mix) at Grandmaster Recorders as of October 4, even appearing on Amazon.com's store page for Make Believe as late as March of 2005:File:Amazon screenshot (1).jpg The songs cut from Make Believe late in development have since been dubbed "the Fallen Soldiers" by Koch.
In a stickam.com chat, Koch played a few short clips of several "Fallen Soldiers" songs, including "Last Chance".
==Lyrics==
I don't need to tell you
The state that we are in
We all can see the madness
And sickness deep within
Our prospects look depressing
But we can all survive
If we come together
To keep ourselves alive
This is our last chance
This is our last chance
Don't blow it
This is our last chance
So hold on tight
Some of you have talents
Some of you have brains
Some are good with people
Some at breaking chains
We need everybody
If we want to live
Put aside your differences
And give what you can give
This is our last chance
This is our last chance
Don't blow it
This is our last chance
So hold on tight
I am just a simple boy
From the countryside
But desperate times
Force me to grow up
I won't even turn around
I'm ready for any challenge
That comes my way
I know I will meet it
I can still remember
How each kept to his own
We can't afford that luxury anymore
This is our last chance
This is our last chance
Don't blow it
This is our last chance
So hold on tight
So hold on tight

Say hello to your last chance
Same as your first chance
A kinder reminder from Ozma
Say hello to the new sound
Same as the old sound
So spin it, get in it, and stay
I knew that the night had an end soon insight
Until you called my name
Say hello when you've spied her
Sitting on the dryer
It's spinning, ninth inning, so play
Say hello like a spider
Weave a web right beside her
Spin it, get in it, and prey
I knew that the night had an end soon insight
Until you called my name
I knew all along I was right but I'm wrong
Somehow you knew my name
After the last dance, you lose your last chance
After the last dance, you lose your last chance
After the last dance, you lose your last chance
After the last dance, you lose your last chance
You lose your last chance
You lose your last chance
You lose your last chance
You've lost your last chance

Last Romantic Day

"Last Romantic Day" is the lead track from The Last Little Life EP by The Rentals.
==Lyrics==
It's a bright day
It's the right view
Central park
Right in front of you
There's a misstep
There's a missed phrase
She's the wrong gal
It's the wrong day
The last romantic day
Yeah, it's the wrong day
It's the last romantic day
It's the first date
In the daytime,
Boy you show your age
In the bright lights
She's got bad form
And a short fuse
In the sunshine
She's a cold muse
Welcome to the brand new day
Past the golden age
The Technicolor fantasy
Slowly fades to grey
Welcome to the brand new you
On the last romantic day
So, I bow in
And I bow out
Take a white flag
Wave it all about
It's too much now
Too, too, too soon
Too, too, much
Too, too much for you
The last romantic day
Too, too much for you
It's the last romantic day
And it's going away
The last romantic day
And it's going away
It's the last romantic day
It's almost over

Late Night Confessions

"Late Night Confessions" is a song by The Rentals written by Matt Sharp. It is the fourth track on Chapter Two: It's Time to Come Home, the second mini album of the Songs About Time project.
==Lyrics==
If I could only have said back then
what I can almost say right now
If you could half way comprehend
then maybe we can work this out
I wanna break through
and get beyond this dream life affection
But I wish you'd return
and come back to this romantic ambition
If I could only have said back then
what I can almost say right now
If you could half way comprehend
then maybe we can work this out
So what is the truth
that lays behind this endless reflection
Tell me what is the use
of hotel rooms and late night confessions
It's too late now, it's too late now
It's too late for late night confessions
It's too late now, it's too late now
It's too late for late night confessions
If I could only have said back then
what I can almost say right now
I you could half way comprehend
then maybe we can work this out
It's too late now, it's too late now
It's too late for late night confessions
It's too late now, it's too late now
It's too late for late

Laurel

Laurel (spelled a number of different ways, including Laura, Laural, Lloral, etc.) is a fictional character from "Songs From The Black Hole," Weezer's unfinished rock opera.
==Overview==
Laurel is sometimes referred to as "the good girl," and Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo has planned for Rachel Haden to voice Laurel's role. The character has a relatively small role in the plot line that Cuomo developed. The main character, Jonas, sings "Superfriend" with her after he has struggled with his relationship with Maria. He thinks he has fallen in love with Laurel from this experience, but she tries to convince him that he's simply being rash. Laurel then reappears for "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams," in which she laments exactly what the title suggests. Some fans guess that Laurel is singing this song about Jonas, bemoaning the fact that she loves him but missed her chance to be with him by turning him away ("Superfriend"). However, the lyric "And I see him everyday/Even though my love is a world away" suggests that Laurel's love is not Jonas. It is possible that Laurel and Jonas did in fact have some type of relationship, which then ruined Laurel's relationship with her previous boyfriend/husband.

Too many grapes
Too many harps
Too many smiles
Not enough weeping
They’ll suffer so that we can feel emotional release
Well I’m gonna stand up and call you out
You’re a punk-ass, oh my god, there is no doubt
Unsatisfied with rain, you made tears
And threw out your baby expecting we’d praise ye 
And worship your name in a song
Now she’s choking back the tears (please tell us why)
Now she’s gasping for her breath (please tell us why)
'Cause she didn’t ever hurt no one

I have got some skills
That can pay the bills
And I am a kind of winner
But I'm not the type
That the young girls like
Or your parents ask to dinner
I am just a guy
I know how to try
And I will give my very best
Until the day I die
Alright, okay
There's nothing left to say
I'm the leader of the pack
And they jump when they hear the whip crack
Alright, it's cool
There's nothing left to do
I'm the leader of the pack
And they jump when they hear the whip crack
In the place I'm from
Anyone can run
And become the hometown hero
If you start some smack
You will get hit back
And your prospects will be zero
I may not look strong
But I can prove you wrong
And I think that I just might teach
The world to sing along
Alright, okay
There's nothing left to say
I'm the leader of the pack
And they jump when they hear the whip crack
Alright, it's cool
There's nothing left to do
I'm the leader of the pack
And they jump when they hear the whip crack
Me and the boys are rockin' out 
Tearin' up the stage
Every night turn we it on
And then we turn the page
When we feel the chemistry
You don't get in the way
If you try to stop us
We're gonna make you pay
I'm comin' home
Alright, okay
There's nothing left to say
I'm the leader of the pack
And they jump when they hear the whip crack
Alright, it's cool
