Everything In Time

written by Gwen Stefani, Tom Dumont

You're my concentration
Everything else is a bore
I've got myself snagged on you
No self control
Now all that I wanna do
Sleep in the shadow of you
For the rest of my life

Now we can chisel
Chisel off built up walls
Of pain deposited
From past lovers
Memories, they can sleep
And we can live comfortably
For the rest of our lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche

Indentured servant
A slave to a slave
Thank God for my hopeful heart
And for mutual feelings
Look how it's balanced now
Maybe we'll just settle down
For the rest of our lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche

Look how it's balanced now
Maybe we'll just settle down
For the rest of our lives, lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche

You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche

You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche

You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast
Like an avalanche

Thinking what should I do
Now I don't have you
Facing my demotion
I'm just a fish in your ocean

Has been, that's what I am
With my backstage wristband
I’m freaking, seconds of you
That's not what I'm used to

Feed, feed them all to me
I’m careful with my stuff
What's your policy
First one's free

I save ‘em up, I put ‘em in my pocket
I save ‘em up, put ‘em in a jar
I save ‘em up, I'm gonna need ‘em for later
I save ‘em up, then they'll go real far

Hand me downs, the take downs
I’ll take the leftovers
Cold ones and the old ones
Better than no ones

Feed, feed them all to me
I’m careful with my stuff
What's your policy
First one's free

I save ‘em up, I put ‘em in my pocket
I save ‘em up, put ‘em in a jar
I save ‘em up, I'm gonna need ‘em for later
I save ‘em up, then they'll go real far

I time it out, got to be real careful
I time it out, get ‘em right on time
I time it out, I get ‘em when I need 'em
Time is up, what's left is over

It's over

I can never have enough
Oh, I can never have enough
I sure am greedy, hand 'em over to me

Nothing’s free

I save ‘em up, I put ‘em in my pocket
I save ‘em up, put ‘em in a jar
I save ‘em up, I'm gonna need ‘em for later
I save ‘em up, then they'll go real far

I time it out, I'll be real careful
I time it out, get ‘em right on time
I time it out, I get ‘em when I need 'em
Time is up, what's left is over

Oh, I need them, yeah, I really need ‘em
Because I need ‘em
Time is up, what's left is over
I time it out, I time it out
Because I need 'em, I really need ‘em

What should I do, now I don't have you?
I really need ‘em, I really need 'em
Hand me downs, the take downs
I take the leftovers
I take the leftovers
I take the leftovers

Success serenades me
And pressure’s at the door
Broken promise debris
Lie around for my mind war

And my accomplishments interrogating me
Today's become tomorrow before I wanted it to be

And desperate discussions
Disturb the destruction
I assigned in my mind
I'll be fine, I’ll be fine

Cause I'm under construction, everyone
So you'll have to mind the mess
I'm under some construction

I always had to try harder
I never really could keep up
Sitting in the corner
With my illness and bad luck

But in this humble place
I'm feeling like red wine
And I hope to get better with some time
I'll be fine, in some time, I’ll be fine

Cause I'm under construction, everyone
So you'll have to mind the mess
I'm under some construction

Construction
Modification
Motivation
Construction

And the rituals that soothe
And disgust me will be gone
In some time, I’ll be fine
In some time, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine

I'm under construction, everyone
So you'll have to mind the mess
I'm under some construction

I'm under construction, everyone
So you'll have to mind the mess
I'm under some construction

Under construction
Construction
Feel better with some construction

Damsel in distress is quite submissive
Look how somber my vanity is
A feminine human creature
Superficial, seducing detour

I'm going to the mall for the cookie cutter
The ugly duckling will always suffer
Contaminated standards, I try to fight it
I better get back on my diet

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Beauty contest
I'm obsessed

Reduce myself, I got the strict restrictions
Not sexy enough without the regulations
A molten point, countdown the fading features
Born to blossom and bloom to perish

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Oh, I've got to get out of this mess
Beauty contest
I'm obsessed

And I've fallen, I can't help myself
I'm feeling envious of all the rest
You're bringing out the lemming in me
A victim of the cattle call disease

Not easy to be me
I feel swollen

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Obsessed with the beauty contest

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
I've got to get out of this mess
Obsessed with the beauty contest

Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
How'd my vanity get such a mess?
Caught up in the beauty contest

Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest

And I feel swollen
How'd my vanity get such a mess?

[child] My vanity's a mess

written by Gwen Stefani, Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal

All I've ever touched or said to them
Becomes a rehearsal for you, just practice, and
Too many magic moments to be coincidence
It all comes full circle

I knew someone who knew you
And he introduced me to you
Your ex-girlfriend had a boyfriend
Who kissed my girlfriend
Who dated Adrian

The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of separation
We all know someone else
It all comes full circle

And you come from England
My ex-boyfriend, he is Indian
British passport, we're all connected
And everyone else is affected

The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of separation
We all know someone else
It all comes full circle
It all comes full circle

The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of separation
We all love someone else
It all comes full circle

The world keeps on getting smaller and smaller
And everything comes back full circle, full circle
Six degrees of separation
We all know someone else
It all comes full circle

And I'm not the judge, or the referee
And I can't accept, cause I am uptight
And the smoke's getting into my eyes are burning
My concern is I just might get a new life

And I can't relate to the hypnotist
And I can't get close, cause of plastic wrap
And I want to have kids, but their father's up inside the clouds
The distance between us on my mind

Up until now things have been fine, temporarily
You're cute, but the circumstances have changed
Your substitution method crutch
Your whole protection from your fame
There's presentation on my ploy
Is to change my cellophane boy

Oh, it's not the 70s
Let your future fly with me

Up until now things have been fine, temporarily
You're cute, but the circumstances have changed
Your substitution method crutch
Your whole protection from your fame
There's presentation on my ploy
Is to change my cellophane boy

And I want your habit to be me
Your harbor and your refugee

written by Gwen Stefani, Eric Stefani

She asked how we are
She asked if I was all weird again
And of course I am
But I’m trying really hard
So I lied to her

And I was wearing this prisoner face
So deep inside she had to know
Once again I’ve lost control

For everything there is a reason
Everything I hope in time will come

Lying in your bed
I am a refugee you try to love
But the love that he killed
Keeps coming back and haunting me

Am I wasting all of your time
And all my cute days on regrets?
Is it healthy that we met?

Everything always in time will show
Then we will know it will show
Everything always in time will come

Is it wrong holding on
To my best friend, my faded lover?
Who knows?

Cinderella hope
And it’s all because he made me laugh
Coincidence or fate
Running towards a catastrophe
Save me

Everything always in time is gone
It’ll be gone, we’ll be gone
Everything always in time will come
Oh, it will come, it will come
For everything there is a reason
I believe for everything there is a reason
And everything always in time will come

You caught my fall, making out on alcohol
An innocent mistake
Falling in love on accident, I didn't mean to

Constant danger, constant stranger
It started out so sweet
And now we're both feeling incomplete

I don't know how much I can take
We're on, we're off

We're knocked down and getting up
We try to fight it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful but it's worth it
Because you're so foxy and I think you're kinda good for me
You're so foxy

Mental earthquakes, conversation mistakes
My army of words
I can't believe you're crawling back for more out of desire

Destiny or chemicals, emotions are susceptible
And you, I can't resist
I can't seem to walk away from this
So show me how much you can take
Are you in or out?

You're knocked down and getting up
You kinda like it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful, I'm sorry
But you're so foxy, I can't let you get away from me
Cause you're so foxy

Ooooooooohh, oooooooooohh
You’re so foxy to me, I'm so lucky
Cause you're so foxy

So get out of my way, I'm feeling so in love today
It can't be understood
And when we're feeling good, it's really good

The kind of good that feels like fate
We're back and forth

We're knocked down and getting up
We try to fight it, the agony and ecstasy
And it's painful but it's your fault
Cause you're so foxy and you got yourself all over me
You're so foxy

And I can't take it, it's hard to take it
I can't take it
It's painful but it's worth it
Cause you're so foxy
I think you must be good for me

Today is going to be easy
Today, cause you're not around
I'll leave off my makeup
I'll sleep in my bed
To pass all the time by

Today cause you're not around
Today, you won't be around

I concentrate on empty spaces
A passive pondering of blackness
Sit down, shut up, controlled obsessions
Your absence, it exhausts me

Ooh, I always panic when I'm left
Ooh, I always panic when I'm left

Today I feel destructive
Today, who cares about myself?
I'll live in denial
And I'll beat up my head
And I'll eat all the chocolate
Today cause you're not around
Today, you won't be around

I can't control my feelings
I sip on dreams and choke on real things
Detach myself for preservation
I struggle to not want you

Ooh, I always panic when I'm left
Ooh, is it healthy that we met?
Ooh, if you stop coming, will I forget?
Ooh, I always panic

Today is gonna be simple
Today, cause you're not around
My heart will pound lazy
No one to impress
No smile is required
Today cause you're not around
Today, you won't be around

Mind my own business
I’m on my journey
And I have enough old friends
To keep me company

To say “Hey, what’s up?”
“You want to hook up?”
“You wanna hang out with me?”
Kick back, relax, feel happy and lazy

You sent to me, one time
You come to me, two times
Why me? A-three times
Abracadabra – now I’ve got a new friend

Let me introduce you to my new friend
Whoa, I got a new friend
Let me introduce you to my new friend
Whoa, I got a new friend

Mind my own business
I’m on my journey

Eye against eye on my journey
We’re happily interrupted
Extremes are extremes
With my brand new friend
We test the boundaries
Like a little kitty’s whiskers, cautiously

Experimental expression, downward looks
You come and sniff around
I’m not sure what to do
Like a big explosion – magically
Look at me
I think I might have found a new friend

Let me introduce you to my new friend
Whoa, I got a new friend
Let me introduce you to my new friend
Whoa, I got a new friend

Mind my own business
I’m on my journey
(Ah shit)
Mind my own business
I’m on my journey
(Ah shit)

You sent to me, one time
You come to me, two times
Why me? A-three times
Serial monogamy, I’ve got a new friend

Mind my own business
I’m on my journey
And I have enough old friends
To keep me company

To say “Hey, what’s up?”
“You want to hook up?”
“You wanna hang out with me?”
Kick back, relax, feel happy and lazy

In my head
It’s only in my head
In my head
It’s only in my head

Everything I do
Everything is you

Cinderella hope
And it’s all because you made me laugh
Coincidence or fate
Running towards a catastrophe

And everything I choose
Everything for you
And everything always in time will come
And I believe it’s all for a reason

She asked how we are
She asked if I was all weird again
And of course I am
But I’m trying really, really hard
So I lied to her
And I was wearing this prisoner face
So deep inside she had to know
I’m feeling lost inside the low

Everything always in time will come

Lying in your bed
I am a refugee you try to love
But the love that he killed
Keeps coming back and haunting me

Am I wasting all of your time
And all my cute days on regrets?
Is it healthy that we met?
Everything always in time will come

Is it wrong holding on
To my best friend, my faded lover?
Who knows?

Coincidence or fate
Running towards what is meant to be

Save me

Everything always in time will show
Then we will know, it will show
Everything always in time will come
And I believe for everything there is a reason
And everything always in time will…

Everything I do

Ooh

You don't want me anymore
So I walk out of the door
I play the game right from the start
I trust you, you use me, now my life's all torn apart

So I'm sailing, yeah, I'm sailing on
I'm moving, yeah, I'm moving on
Sail on sail on sail on sail on - aaaaah

Tried to see if I'll give up
But there wasn't any luck
It's a fact, a fact of life
That's the game, game of strife, everything is all in stride

So I'm sailing, I'm sailing on
I'm moving, yeah, I'm moving on
Sail on sail on sail on sail on - aaaaah

Yeah

So I'm sailing, yeah, I'm sailing on
I'm moving, yeah, I'm moving on
Sail on sail on sail on sail on - aaaaah

Yeah, la la la
La la la
La la la

Too many years with too many tears
And too many days with none to say
So how will we know when there's nowhere to grow
The fact of life, life too short, oh

There's too many years with too many tears
There's too many days with none to say, no no
So how will we know when there's nowhere to grow
The fact of life, the fact of life, yeah

Too many years with too many tears
And too many days with none to say
So how will we know when there's nowhere to grow
The fact of life, life too short, oh oh

Haji was a punk just like any other boy
And he never had no trouble till he started up his Oi band
Safe in the garage or singing in the tub
Till Haji went too far and he plugged in at the pub

It was a cold Christmas eve when Trevor and the skins
Popped in for a pint and to nick a back of crisps
Trevor liked the music but not the unity
He unwound Haji's turban and he knocked him to his knees

If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!"

Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out through the crowd
He said "We'll meet again we are bloody but not unbowed"
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet
Christmas Day on the roof down at 20 Oxford Street

If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!"

On the roof, with the nunchucks, Trevor broke a lot of bones
But Haji had a sword like that guy in Indiana Jones

Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man
Haji was alone and abandoned by his band
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate
When the skins left him there and went down the fire escape
Oi! Oi!

But then Haji saw the north star shining more then ever
So he made a tourniquet from his turban, saving Trevor
They rapelled down the roof with the rest of the turban
And went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon

If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!”

If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!”

Oi! Oi!

I've got no time for fairy stories
I'm not a little girl
So you can leave me all alone
And turn off the lights as well

If you were frightened
Then listen
But I don't think you'd like it
Such a nice kid

Nobody's lookin’ now (nobody's lookin’)
I throw my toys around

Somebody's being very bad
I wonder who it can be?
Somebody's gonna to get in trouble
I know it isn't me

I'm just a little angel
Bet you don't know what I've done
When your back's turned

Nobody's lookin’ now (nobody's lookin’)
I throw my toys around

Pick up those building blocks
Chop off the baby's locks
Swing dolly by the hair
Put down that teddy bear
Slam dunk a happy clown
I throw my toys around

I've got no time for bedtime stories
I'm not a little child
Everything makes me furious
And everything makes me wild

If you were frightened then whistle
And I’ll come running to you
As you boo hoo

Nobody's lookin’ now (nobody's lookin’)
I’ll throw my toys around

Nobody's lookin’ now (nobody's lookin’)
I’ll throw my toys around

I’ll throw my toys around
I throw my toys around
I’ll throw my toys around
I throw my toys around
I’ll throw my toys around
I throw my toys around
I’ll throw my toys around
I throw my toys around
I’ll throw my toys around
