Context: I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
But it's not, and I don't know where to turn

Context: You're sure
There's a cure.
And you have finally found it.
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down.
But it's not going to stop.
It's not going to stop.
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up.

Context: I don't know how to break the news, but
It's pretty clear you'll be asked to choose between
What you lack and what you excuse
In this tug of war
You can't say that they didn't warn you
Though you'd rather that they just ignore you
Cause your devices are not working for you anymore What you want, you don't know
You're with stupid now
"You're With Stupid Now" · 2008 performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjwfNAYdBVQ

Context: You know it
I know it
Why don't you
Just show it
You got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway

Context: I try so hard not to get upset
Because I know all the trouble Ill get
Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
And something to fear
And I try so hard to keep it inside
So no one can hear.
"Voices Carry"
— Aimee Mann
Context: Now that I've met you,
Would you object to
Never seeing each other again?
'Cause I can't afford to
Climb aboard you.
No one's got that much ego to spend.So don't work your stuff,
Because I've got troubles enough.
No, don't pick on me
When one act of kindness could be
Deathly,
Deathly,
Definitely.
"Deathly"
— Aimee Mann
Context: When you’re a charmer
the world applauds
they don’t know that secretly charmers
feel like they’re frauds When you’re a charmer
you hate yourself
a victim of sideshow hypnosis
like everyone else.
"Charmer"
— Aimee Mann
Context: You lie so well
I could never even tell
what were facts in your artful rearranging But I came back for more
and you laughed in my face and you rubbed it in
cause I’m a Labrador
and I run
when the gun
drops the dove again

Context: !-- When you’re a charmer
the apples fall
and you’re quite the little collector
you got ‘em all --> When you’re a charmer
people respond
they can’t see the hidden agenda
you got going on

— Aimee Mann
Context: I can't do it, I can't conceive
You're everything you're trying to make me believe 'Cause this show is too well designed
Too well to be held with only me in mind And how, how am I different?
How, how am I different?
"How Am I Different" (co-written with Jon Brion) · Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW7gUnN7yxo

Context: He's a serious mister
Shake his hand and he'll twist your arm.
With Monopoly money
We'll be buying the funny farm. So I'll do flips, and get paid in chips
From a diamond as big as the Ritz —
Then I'm calling it quits. <!--
(Calling it quits)

Context: In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye;
No guts to sever so forever may we wave goodbye.
And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move,
When I wonder what could make the needle jump the groove.
I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book,
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook.
By saying there is no use changing 'causeThat's just what you are.
That's just what you are.
"That's Just What You Are" · Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArXL7uEQsEg

Context: Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life.
And it's brought me to my current agendum
Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive.And I know life is getting shorter,
I can't bring myself to set the scene.
Even when it's approaching torture,
I've got my routine.
"Momentum"
— Aimee Mann
Context: You struck me dumb, Like radium
Like Peter Pan, or Superman,
You have come... to save me.
Come on and save me...
Why don't you save me?
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who could never love anyone.
"Save Me"
— Aimee Mann
Context: They're all still on their honeymoon,
Just read the dialogue balloon.
Everyone loves you —
Why should they not?
And I'm the only one who knows
That Disneyland's about to close.
I don't suppose you'd give it a shot
Knowing all that you've gotAre cigarettes and Red Vines.
Just close your eyes, 'cause, baby —
You never do know.
And I'll be on the sidelines,
With my hands tied,
Watching the show.
"Red Vines"
— Aimee Mann
Context: When I tell him that Im falling in love
Why does he say
"Hush, hush, keep it down now.
Voices carry"?
"Voices Carry"
