box set þarký sözü

words & music by steven page

i never thought that you would love me the way that you do.
i never thought that you would love me half as much as i do.
you say you wanna know everything about me. well here you go.
you say you couldn´t live your life without me. i don´t know.
but if you want it girl, you´ve got it,
it´s all right here,
in my box set.

i never thought that words like product could ever leave my lips,
but something happened to me somewhere that made me lose my grip.
maybe it´s a lack of inspiration that makes me stoop,
or maybe it´s a lack of remuneration; i can´t recoup.
but if you want it folks, you got it;
it´s all right here in my box set.

disc one
it´s where we´ve begun, it´s all of greatest hits,
and if you are a fan then you know that you´ve already got ´em.

disc two
it was all brand new, al album´s worth of songs,
but we had to leave the whole disc blank ´cause
some other label bought ´em.

disc three
this is really me in a grade school play;
i had about a hundred thousand lines but of course i forgot ´em.

i never thought there´d be days like this, there was always someone at my door.
i never thought i would ever miss, and the crowd would always holler for more.
but now it seems all that people want is what i used to be,
and every time i try to do something new,
all they want is 1973.

i never thought i´d be regretful of all my past success.
but some stupid number one hit single has go me in this mess.
you can put it on every compilation - that´s all right.
you can hear it on the oldies radio station every night.
and if you want it again, you got it
it´s right here in my box set.

disc four
never released before, and you can tell why.
it´s just some demos i recorded in my basement.

disc five
i was barely alive, i was coughing up a lung,
so they had to use a special computer as my replacement.

disc six
a dance remix, so i can catch the latest trend
and it´ll make you scratch your head and wonder
where my taste went.

so now my fans are crying sellout,
they say that i´ve lost my touch.
they say i should just get the hell out,
before i do too much.
hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser -
they say it´s greed,
and now i´m wondering where my friends are in this time of need.
but if you change your mind and buy it,
i hope you enjoy my new box.

i hope you enjoy my new box,
i hope you enjoy my new box set.
