A quiet song about jokes at someone else’s expense that outlasted the laughter. . I heard from Kathy You're not doing so well She said you still remember Things I said back then . I thought they were just words Thought I was being funny Never thought they'd stay with you When they meant so little to me . I never meant to hurt you Never meant to make you cry I never meant to hurt you But I can't make it right . They say time heals all wounds But they don't know any better I thought you'd just forget Some things stay with you forever . I thought that saying sorry Would make it go away It's been so long But you're still living with that day . I never meant to hurt you Never meant to make you cry I never meant to hurt you But I can't make it right . I wish I could undo it all You're the one who pays the price And asking you to forgive me Would be asking far too much . I just wanted them to laugh But I barely think about them now I keep more to myself these days We’re all scared of getting hurt . I never meant to hurt you Never meant to make you cry I never meant to hurt you But I can't make it rightmore

This one probably sounds like shit unless you turn it up past max. Had to blow off some steam. Here’s “Spoil Your Party.” . Not sure where it fits—tagged it metal and punk, but maybe it’s post-punk. Or just music you can smell the smoke in. .. I don't wanna spoil another party I'm leaving now You talk too much You say fuck all I'm so fucking bored I don't wanna spoil your party . I was there when Jesus Christ was baptized I know how they raised Stonehenge You're not that interesting I don't wanna spoil your party . I don't wanna spoil your party Go on, have your fun Laugh at your own jokes I'll hear you down the hall I don't wanna spoil your party . I've got a quiet world inside Where I feel at home I've got nothing left to say You won't notice anyway . I don't wanna spoil your party I'm leaving now Don't get up Goodbye . I don't wanna spoil another party I'm leaving now You talk too much You say fuck all I'm so fucking bored I don't wanna spoil your party I don't wanna spoil your party Goodbye more

She says she's going out with the girls. He says that's fine. He wants her to have a good time. He really does. But there's someone else in the room. Someone who might not even exist. I decided to strip this song down and let it build slowly. Just a voice at first, then bass, drums and eventually the distorted guitars. As his imagination gets out of control, so does the music. Have a good time. I hope you do... . . HAVE A GOOD TIME You said just the girls I said I know I want you happy I want you to go . You stood at the mirror You turned to the light You wiped off the lipstick It looked all right . You tried on the black one You tried on the blue I said I liked the old one You said this one is new . I asked you which bar You said we’ll see I said you must know You said don’t wait for me . You opened the drawer You took out the lace I looked at the ceiling You looked at my face . You said what is it? I said nothing much You went past my chair I reached out to touch . Have a good time I hope you do I want you happy I want you too I want you to go Have a good time . I know how you look When you want to be seen You said I always do this I said what do you mean? . You said just the girls You’d told me before I said I remembered And opened the door . There’s nobody else There’s nobody there I give him a face I give him a chair . He hasn’t said anything I know what he’ll he say I tell him you don’t like that He does it anyway . Have a good time I hope you do I want you happy I want you too I want you to go Have a good timemore
