Fair (05:55)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
He shouted out his last word
And he stumbled through the yard
And she shattered her last china plate
And spun off in the car

When he lunged onto the hood
She stopped to tell him she'd been wrong
He was thrown head over heels
Into the traffic coming on
But then
All is fair
All is fair in love

Ba Ba Ba, Ba Ba Ba X15

Did you get my other letters
Sometimes I think I oughta call
Cause you know I often
Wonder if you open them at all

Every couple nights or so
You know you pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you
Like you got rid of me

Ohh but I send my best
Cause God knows you've seen my worst
Yeah well,
All is fair
All is fair in love

Ba Ba Ba, Ba Ba Ba X15
Aww, Aww, Aww

All this breathing in Never breathing out
All this breathing in Never breathing out
All this breathing in Never breathing...out

Well, I guess she made her way
Through the mob too late to hear him say

That he'd gotten all he'd wanted
A crowd to watch him bear the pain
He'd been keeping in
So what-

All is fair
All is fair in love
Yeah well,
All is fair,
All is fair in love

Ba Ba Ba, Ba Ba Ba X15

Am I right?
Am I right?
Not only am I right
I'm lonely and I'm right
Yeah

Brick (04:32)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
Six a.m. day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping
I am numb

Up the stairs to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out

And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before

She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly

They call her name at seven-thirty
I pace around the parking lot
And I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got

Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Then she ever has before

She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me, "Son it's time to tell the truth," and
She broke down and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying

Driving back to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
And I'm alone
Now I know it

She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly

Song for the Dumped (03:40)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
So you wanted to take a break?
Slow it down some and have some space?
F**k you too!
Give me my money back, give me my money back, you bitch.
I want my money back.
And don't forget, and don't forget to give me back my black t-shirt.

I wish I hadn't bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me on your front porch.
Give me my money back, give me my money back, you bitch.


I want my money back.
And don't forget, and don't forget to give me back my black t-shirt.

So you wanted to take a break?
Slow it down some and have some space?

Give me my money back, give me my money back you bitch!
I want my money back, I want my money back!
And don't forget...

Selfless, Cold and Composed (06:10)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
I said what you wanted to hear
And what I wanted to say
So I will take it back
Are all the dishes in tact
Let them be broken

It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
You remain
Selfless, cold and composed

You've done me no
Favor to call and be nice
Telling me I
Can take anything I like
Your don't owe me to be so polite
You've done no wrong
You've done no wrong
Get out of my sight

It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
To remain
Selfless, cold and composed

Come on baby
Now throw me a right to the chin
Don't just stare like you never cared
I know you did
You just smiled
Like a bank teller
Telling me blankly, have a nice life

Come on baby
Throw me a right to the chin
Just one sign
That could show me that you give a shit
But you just smile politely
And I grow weaker and I ...

Said what you wanted to hear
And what I wanted to say
So I will take it back

It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
When it doesn't mean anything
You can take anything
So selfless, cold and composed

Kate (03:13)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
She plays wipeout on the drums
the squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar
Oh I...have you got nothing to say

When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
so the roses can see
Oh I...have you got nothing to say
And you can see the daisies
in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate

Everyday she wars the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I want, She's everything I'm not
Oh. I...
Have you got nothing to say

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I wanna be Kate

Down by the Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagaved Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna see her so that
I can say...hey Kate

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
Oh oh...You can see
I wanna wanna wanna wanna be
Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate
No, no, no, no, no

Smoke (04:52)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
Leaf by Leaf and page by page
Throw this book away
All the sadness all the rage
Throw this book away
Rip out the binding and tear the glue
All of the grief we never even knew
We had it all along
Now its smoke

The things we've written in it
Never really happened
All of the people come and gone
Never really lived
All of the people have come have gone

No one to forgive smoke
We will not write a new one
There will not be a new one
Another one, another one
Here's an evening dark with shame
Throw it on the fire
here's the time I took the blame
Throw it on the fire
Here's the time we didn't speak
it seemed for years and years
Here's a secret
No one will ever know the
reasons for the tears
They are smoke

We will never write a new one
There will not be a new one
Another one, another one

Where do all the secrets live
They travel in the air
You can smell them when they burn
They travel
Those who say the past is not dead
Can stop and smell the smoke
You keep saying the past is not dead
Stop and smell the smoke
You keep on saying the past is not even past
And you keep saying
We are, smoke
Smoke, smoke

Cigarette (01:38)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
Fred Jones was worn out
from caring for his often
screaming and crying wife
during the day
but
he couldn't sleep at night for
fear that she
in a stupor from the drugs
that didn't ease the pain
would set the house ablaze
with a cigarette

Battle of Who Could Care Less (03:16)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
Do you not hear me anymore
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
It sucks me in
when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks it works
I guess it's cool to be alone

Do you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Everyday you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was
that way

And you think Rockford Files is cool
But there are some things
that you would change
if it were up to you
So think about your masterpiece
Watch the Rockford Files
And call to see if Paul can score some weed.

Will you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
That's all right I guess...

I've got this great idea
Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin Fucking Mint
Fine pewter portraits of
general apathy and major boredom singing...
Whatever and ever Amen
Oh well maybe not, I'll try again
This should cheer you up for sure
See I've got your old I.D.
And you're all dressed up like the Cure
you never rest
fighting the battle
of who could care less
unearned unhappiness
You're my hero I confess

Missing the War (04:19)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
All is quiet his tired eyes
see figures jotted down
And clothes all strewn around
the bedroom floor
Now nothing's adding up
And nothing's making sense
She's sleeping like a baby
She doesn't know he wasn't meant for this
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war all night
Missing the war
He drove home again
Pissed and beaten
Its really no big deal
It happens all the time
Its no big deal

I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war all night
Missing the war
I'm missing the war

'Till beads of sunlight hit me in the morning
So much time so little to say
Time may fly
And dreams may die
The shaking voice that tells him go
Still thinks he might
He knows he won't
I'm missing the war
Missing the war all night
Missing the war

Evaporated (04:26)
Ben Folds Five • Whatever and Ever Amen
What I've kept with me
And what I've thrown away
And where the hell I've ended up
On this glary random day
Were the things I really cared about
Just left along the way
From being too pent up and proud

Woke up way too late
Feeling hung over and old
And the sun was shining bright
And I walked barefoot down the road
Started thinking about my old man
It seems that all men
Wanna get into a car and go...
Anywhere?

[Chorus]
Here I stand,
Sad & free
I can't cry and I can't see
What I've done
Oh God...What have I done

Don't you know I'm numb, man
No I can't feel a thing at all
Cause its all smiles and business these days
and I'm indifferent to the loss
I've faith that there's a soul somewhere
that's leading me around
I wonder if she knows
Which way is down...

[Chorus]

I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
it evaporated...see?

Blind man on a canyon's edge
of a Panoramic scene
Or maybe I'm a kite
That's flying high & random
Dangling a string
Or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home
They think I've lost my mind.

[Chorus]
