ALL'S QUIET ON THE EASTERN FRONT (Dee Dee Ramone)
[ ] x2
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
See me silently quietly creep
I am too amped to sleep
Lamp rays shining down
Street lamps make the bussing sound
Subway creaking down below
Garbage piled up and ready to go
[ ] x2
Lock the windows the gates on
Taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats but dogs don't bark
Cool cats strolling after dark
[ ] x2
Watch the watch...
Shaky lock and kicky door
Smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the street till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
[ ] x2
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk

7-11 (Joey Ramone)
[ ] x2
I met her at the 7-11 yeah
Now I'm in seventh heaven
Tell me tell me can this be true
I never thought I'd ever meet a girl like you
She was standing by the Space Invaders
So I said can I see you later
Yeah we went for a little spin
Down to the Holiday Inn
We was young and in love
We was young and in love
And you're the only girl I'm ever thinking of
We went down to the record swap
The kids were dancing to the Blitzkrieg Bop
Bop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop
Bop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop
What ever happened to the radio
And where did all the fun songs go
Summer fun with the Beach Boys on
But we all know what went wrong
We was young...
And so we went out to the dance
Which turned into a whole romance
And after just one night
I never thought that things could be so right
Oh no-no no no no-no no
I kissed and hugged her and I said goodbye
Last thing I knew she wouldn't make it alive
Oncoming car went out of control
It crushed my baby and it crushed my soul
Now all I got is sorrow and pain
Standing out here in the rain
The crash, shattering glass, the sirens and pain
It's driving me insane
Oh yeah we was young and in love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we was young and in love
And you're the only girl I'm ever thinking of [ no G here ]

YOU DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME (Dee Dee Ramone)
You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me
Riff
Skies were cloudy everyday
Nothing wanted to grow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy
Nothing was on T.V.
I was ready to pack it up
Our heads were so achey
You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me
Riff
We got to get away
Another lawn to mow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
Ever dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony
You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me
Riff
Everybody was cranky
Even the maids were mean
We ran into a miracle
There was beer in the soda machine
Every dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

Sitting in my room
Record player on
Sitting in my room
Humming a sickening tune
Sitting in my room
Something to do soon
We know what we think of them
The problems just keep piling in
They got complains about everything

They just wanna be so lame
Maybe they should try and sniff some glue
