I can't help it girl, I'm the preacher's son
I'ma speak my piece 'til the day is done
But I will never let you go
Once I have got you in my hold
I'm gonna mold ya' into something that I like
I can't change my ways, I'm a pompous fool
If you need a fix, then I'll be your tool
But I will never let you go
Once I have got you in my hold
I'm gonna mold ya' into something that I like
Always take me back
Falling off the track
Always, I'm on fire to be with you tonight
And make your body come
I can't be someone that you wish I was
Just a tag-along, like your goofy cuz
But I will never let you go
Once I have got you in my hold
I'm gonna mold ya' into something that I like

I don't invest in stocks

My pot of gold at the Rainbow Room

You're my, precious metal girl
My best friend in the world
Look like you could have been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket
With the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl
All the kings and queens
When they explore the seas
They were searching for a gem like you
The battles lost and won
With the L.A. Guns
For the Aqua Net in your hairdo
When the neon lights stop shining
I see you like a silver lining
You're my, precious metal girl
My best friend in the world
Look like you could have been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket
With the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl
I don't need to mine
As long as you're mine
The sun sets on Sunset but you still shine
You still shine, 'cause
You're my, precious metal girl
My best friend in the world
Look like you could have been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket
With the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl

==Lyrics==
I want you so badly
Too bad that you slammed me
And when you are reading the words I write
You think that I'm just some dumb, horny guy
I'm trying to show you
A hint of my coolness
But I can't give up on the secret ???
'Cause love is so empty when you can cheat
Hold my hand 
Tell me that you love me for who I am
I never have witnessed
A beauty like yours
And not just in your face, but in your mind
I'm hoping that someday will come a time
Hold my hand 
Tell me that you love me for who I am
And not just in your face, but in your mind
I'm hoping that someday will come a time
Hold my hand 
Tell me that you love me for who I am
I'm trying to show you a hint of my coolness

Puckett's Versus the Country Boy

Puckett's Versus the Country Boy is the debut solo EP from former Weezer bassist and Rentals frontman Matt Sharp.

All I know is your smile
Stay with me for a while
Purple flowers have grown in your hair
Yellow sunbeams shine down everywhere
I am happy, I am lonely
I am dying for you
Memories haunting me
Haunting you, set me free
Who can know what is right
Stay with me for the night
You were young and I was old
You were hot and I was cold
Who could see tragedy
Hanging down over me
Purple flowers have grown in your hair
Yellow sunbeams shine down everywhere
I am happy, I am lonely
I am dying for you

PusherJones

PusherJones was an animated rock band assembled by Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner, and featured Weezer member Scott Shriner on bass.
==Biography==
===Formation===
Dave Kushner announced the project in 2012, and their first single, "Count Me Out" was announced for a May 1st release. It was also available on Rolling Stone's website prior to release.
Kushner described the project as "a cool riff-rock thing," stating that they were "influenced by everything from and to newer bands."
===Cartoon Pilot===
According to Kushner, a television pilot for a full PusherJones cartoon had been created and was making attempts to be picked up. One of the members of the project, Dave Warren, had previously worked on . Nothing has surfaced of this pilot, and it can be assumed the project was abandoned.

Queen of Earth

"Queen of Earth" (formerly titled "Queen of Hearts") is a song demoed by Weezer during early sessions for the band's planned fifth album.
===Appearances===
*Released on weezer.com
*Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years (2020)
==Overview==
"Queen of Earth" was first demoed by Rivers Cuomo in early 2002. This demo, titled "Queen of Hearts," was released in 2020 as part of the digital compilation Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years in 2020.
Later in 2002, the song was demoed by Weezer during early sessions for the band's planned follow-up to Maladroit (which was, at that time, yet to be released). The band is first known to have begun recording the song in early April at Cello Studios. The song is known for its slow tempo and dark, ballad-like tone. Three versions of the song were, ostensibly, shared with fans on weezer.com but, due to an apparent error, two of these versions (June 25 and July 2) uploaded were, in fact, identical.
==Lyrics==
Queen of Earth, won't you stand by my side?
We've both waited for the whole of our lives
Come with me, we can build ecstasy
Never once have I felt quite this way
Feel my heartbeat is just slipping away
Want to live in my hole in the ground
I'm over and done, baby
I'm over and done
I never want to be alone
I never want to be alone
Want to live in my hole in the ground
I'm over and done, baby
I'm over and done
I never want to be alone
I never want to be alone

Hey yeah
I'm feeling naked on the promenade
There is a rockstar in your midst, babe
Sometimes I wonder if you notice
I'd rather be humble than famous
So you can take me to your place
And I will sing your favorite rock song
And you can take my feathers off
I'm gonna keep my shades on
Hey, hey, whatchu gonna do?
Can I get a quick picture with you?
Hey, hey, whatchu gonna do?
Can I get a quick picture with you?
Tough as nails and sweet as molasses
Quick as lightning flashing on down
Hey, hey, whatchu gonna do?
Can I get a quick picture with you?
I wish that I could change my look more often
A Magnum mustache or a mohawk
A thousand colorful tattoos
But you want me to be a good boy
And I want you to really love me
That doesn't make a difference anyway
Screw the parade of principle
Since Kiss took off the makeup
Hey, hey, whatchu gonna do?
Can I get a quick picture with you?
Hey, hey, whatchu gonna do?
Can I get a quick picture with you?
Tough as nails and sweet as molasses

Now I got a stylist on payroll
I wonder if I'm happier this way-ay-ay

"Rock Saved My Legs!"
No wonder Weezer main geezer Rivers Cuomo wasn't smiling on stage. He'd just had to endure a bizarre, leg-lengthening operation. But if it hadn't been for the band, Rivers would still be limping today…
Yes, it's really true. Weezer's recent UK tour was temporarily postponed when frontman and guitarist Rivers Cuomo was admitted to a private hospital in his home state of Connecticut to undergo surgery to rectify the problem of one of his legs being shorter (or longer, depending on which leg you're talking about!) than the other.
Apparently, the powers-that-be in the United States had decreed since Rivers first had his problem diagnosed as a young boy that the problem was merely cosmetic and, as such, Rivers surgery would not be paid for through his regular health cover.
In a bizarre twist of circumstances, the nerdy front man had to wait until he made enough cash from his Pop Star antics to bring his legs into line and make them the same length. Rock music saved his legs, although they are obviously giving him plenty of trouble during his recovery period.
During the UK tour, Cuomo was still wearing a metal casing on his leg which allows the bone to grow in the correct position after the operation. Of course, despite being on heavy painkillers, the leg is still extremely painful, but being the trooper that he is, Cuomo was determined that the British dates went ahead with minimum disruption.
"There was no way he way he wanted to disappoint all the people who were dying to see Weezer," said a record company spokesman. "It sounds real cliché, but he really was of the opinion that the show must go on...even if the dates were a couple of weeks later than anticipated."
