1. Know it sounds funny, but I just can’t stand the pain
2. Who cares what picture you see/ When you’re huggin’ with your baby
3. Sometimes the silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload
4. I don’t care if Monday’s blue
5. She just can’t be chained/To a life where nothing’s gained
6. Tried Betty Sue/ Tried Betty Lou/ Tried Mary Sue/ But I knew it wouldn’t do
7. Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
8. Well sometimes I go out by myself/And I look across the water
