Misunderstood (06:28)
Wilco • Being There
Whell you're back in your old neighborhood
The cigarettes taste so good
But you're so misunderstood
You're so misunderstood
There's something there that you can't find
Honest when you're tellin' a lie
You're hurt but you don't know why
You love her but you don't know why
Short on long term goals
There's a party there that we oughtta go to
Do you still love rock and roll?
Do you still love rock and roll?
It's only a quarter to three
Reflecting off the O.C.D.
You're looking at a picture of me
You're staring at a picture of me
Take the guitar player for a ride
Cause He ain't never been satisfied
He thinks he owes some kind of debt
Be years before he gets over it
There's a fortune inside your head
All you touch turns to lead
You think you might just crawl back in bed
The fortune inside your head
You know you're just a mama's boy
Positively unemployed
So misunderstood
So misunderstood
I know you're gotta God shaped hole
Leanin' out your_______________
So misunderstood (x4)
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
I'd like to thank you all for nothin' at all
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
Nothin' (x4)
Nothin' at all
Nothin' (x3)
Nothin' at all

Far, Far Away (03:20)
Wilco • Being There
Far, far away
In those city lights
The night
He's shining on you tonight
Far, far away from you
On the dark side
Of the moon

Well I long to hold you
In my arms and sway
Kiss and ride on the CTA
I need to see you tonight
In those bright lights
Well, I'll know it's right

Deep in my heart
I'll know it's right

By the bed, by the light
That you read by
By the time
That I get home to say goodnight
I need to see you again
On the dark side, my friend

On the dark side

Monday (03:33)
Wilco • Being There
Choo choo Charlie had a pretty good band
But he couldn't understand why no one would go
A world record player's on a tour of Japan
Charlie's fixing his van with the left arm tan

He said
Monday, I'm all high, get me out of FLA
In school yeah, I fooled ya
Now I know I made a mistake

Blister on a turnpike, let me by
I only wanna wonder why when I don't die
Ooh, I shot ya, yeah, I know
I only wanna go where my wheels roll

Monday, I'm all high, get me out of FLA
I fooled ya, in school, yeah
Now I know I made a mistake

Everybody's wondering where'd he go
He must be down in Pensacola hiding from the snow
The world record player's on a tour of Japan
Charlie's fixing his van
He's waiting for a postcard

And he said
Monday, I'm all high, get me out of TLA
I cut class, in school, yeah
Now I know I made a mistake
I made a big mistake

Forget the Flowers (02:47)
Wilco • Being There
You're trying my patience
Try pink carnations
Red roses, yellow daffodils
Don't forget the flowers
Someday, I know you will

Displays of affection
And all good intentions
Why don't you just send me the bill
Don't forget the flowers
Someday, I know you will

Well, you've been taking me
Way to seriously
I can't ever explain why
Why I don't feel your pain

I left you behind
I know it's been a long time
But I'm not over you
Don't forget the flowers
Someday, I hope I do

You're trying my patience
Try pink carnations
Red roses, yellow daffodils
Don't forget the flowers
Someday, I know I will
Don't forget the flowers
Someday, I know I will

Red-Eyed and Blue (02:45)
Wilco • Being There
We've got solid state technology
Tapes on the floor
Some songs we can't afford to play
When we came here today
All I wanted to say was how much I miss you
Alcohol and cotton balls
And some drugs we can't afford on the way
When we came here today
We all felt something true
Now I'm red-eyed and blue

I Got You (At the End of the Century) (03:57)
Wilco • Being There
I got you and that's all I need
I got you and that's all I need
I got you and that's all I need
I got you and I still believe
That you're all that I ever need
It's you
All
All way back in the seventies
You were my little T.V. queen
Y'er tarzan and friend Janine
I got you
I got you and I still believe
That you're all that I'll ever need
It's you
All
It's the end of the century
I can't think of anything
Except you
It's the end of the century
And I can't think of anything
But you, all, all, I, need
I got you
I got you, babe
I got you
I got you
I got you
I got you

What's the World Got in Store (03:09)
Wilco • Being There
Close your eyes and go to sleep, baby
Take your head off your feet, honey
'Cause you've been working hard
And I know you're tired
I've been trying hard not to feel like a liar

What's the world got in store
What's the world got in store for you
What's the world got in store for you now

Come on, baby, somehow, I need you
Do I have to show you how, baby
I'm not trying to knock you out, or what's it about
I just know you need your rest
But I can't say what's best for you

You've been working hard
And I know you're tired
I've been trying hard not to feel like a liar

What's the world got in store
What's the world got in store for you
What's the world got in store for you now
What's the world got in store
What's the world got in store for you
What's the world got in store for you now

Hotel Arizona (03:37)
Wilco • Being There
Hotel in Arizona made us all wanna feel like stars
Rental cars and tinted windows, leave another number for me
Even if I make it through
That's just something that I have to get used to
That's just something I have to get used to
I feel some connection between you and me
Well I guess there's some direction maybe you can't see
Even at the interview, that's not something thatI'm gonna get used to
That's not something I'm gonna get used to
Hello, can you hear?
Hello, that's all there is, that's all there is
I guess all this history is just a mystery to me
One more worried whisper right in my ear

Say You Miss Me (04:09)
Wilco • Being There
I've been sleepin' alone, out on my own
I'm sure it seems like I'm takin' my time to get back to you
You been doin' your part, working real hard
I'm not lying, sure it seems like I'm trying to get back at you
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
I've been losing my mind, wastin' my time
I'm not crazy, sure it seems like I'm lazy, lets get back to you
You been takin' it hard, I know it's hard
I'm not lyin' sure it seems like I'm tryin' to get back at you
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too
Well I been mixed up since the break up
Well all I need you to say
Well everythings o.k.
Baby say I'll miss you, just say you'll miss me too (x2)

Sunken Treasure (06:51)
Wilco • Being There
There's rows and rows of houses
With windows painted blue
With the light from the tv
Running parallel to you

But there is no sunken treasure
Rumoured to be
Wrapped inside my ribs
In a sea black with ink

I am so out of tune with you
I am so out of tune with you

If I had a mountain
I would try to fold it over
If I had a boat
You know I'd probably roll over

I'd leave it on the shore
I'd leave it for somebody
Surely there's somebody
Who needs it more than me

I am so out of tune with you
I am so out of tune with you

For all the leaves will burn
And autumn fires never return
For all the fires we burn
All will return

Music is my saviour
And I was maimed by rock and roll
I was maimed by rock and roll
I was tamed by rock and roll
Got my name from rock and roll

Someday Soon (02:33)
Wilco • Being There
Wind will blow and the sun will shine.
On that hill where we used to climb.
I look in your eyes and you'll be mine.
Someday soon.
I won't even make a scene.
It will be just like a dream.
Cash is gonna flow down by the old mainstream.
Someday soon.
You don't know me, but I know you (you don't know me).
You have no idea what I do (what I do).
Make you mine and see you swoon.
Someday soon.
Sun's gonna shine, wind's gonna blow.
On the hill where we used to go.
I look in your eyes and down I will roll.
Someday soon.
Someday, someday soon.
Someday, someday soon.

Someone Else's Song (03:21)
Wilco • Being There
I can't tell you anything you don't already know
I keep on trying
I should just let it go
I keep on singing, your eyes they just roll

It sounds like someone else's song
From a long time ago

You already know the story
And the chords are just the same
You already know I love you
And I sound like what's-his-name

But you can't stop me
I want you to know

I know it sounds like someone else's song
From a long time ago

Kingpin (05:17)
Wilco • Being There
I wanna be your kingpin, living in Pekin
I wanna be your bigwig, living in Pekin
I caught the flu and away I flew

NYC, pediate blue
Dimeatap and spinal tap
City maps and hand claps

Statue of liberty play
It only works once
Don't throw it away

'Cause I wanna be your kingpin, living in Pekin
Living' in Pekin, livin' in
How can I, how can I give my love to you
When I don't know what to do?

(Was I) In Your Dreams (03:30)
Wilco • Being There
Was I in your dreams
I'd like to know
Did I touch your hand and did it feel like snow?
Try to understand while I've got you on the phone

Did I hurt you like I know I can?
Tell me why you'd ever want to leave your loving man
Try to understand, please try to understand

Was I in your dreams
Was I in your dreams

This dreamer died when his dreams died too
But I don't really mind if I dream about you.
I can't say what any of that means

Oh was I in your dreams, late last night?
Did you hold your pillow, did you squeeze me tight?
I just want to make everything alright

Was I in your dreams
Was I in your dreams

Was I?

The Lonely 1 (04:48)
Wilco • Being There
After the show you walked right past.
Arms reached out for your autograph.
And as you flashed your backstage pass.
I caught your eye with a camera's flash.
When the band came out they stood behind you.
Cymbals crashed, the lights went blue.
You stood alone in the halo's haze.
Shiny guitar hung on gold lamé.
And you, you were the lonely one.
You were the lonely one.
When you perform it's so intense.
When the critics pan I write in your defense.
I understand I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan.
When I get home I turn off the alarm.
I've checked the phone, no messages on.
I play the ones from yesterday.
I play you're song just to hear you say that....
You, you're the lonely one.
You are the lonely one.
You, you're the lonely one.
You are the lonely one.
