Tracks



01. Space Ship One

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
I've got a car cruising down the street
I wanna take you for a ride
Strap yourself into the passenger seat
And let me take you on a drive
You know my grandfather always said
That a man is only good as his tools
And my car's pretty good but
Space Ship One just rules
Space Ship One just rules

I've had a Volvo and a Cadillac
I've driven everything in between
I like the feel driving down the road
But now I just cannot forget what I seen
This little number's gonna say goodbye
To all the gravity and unleaded fuels
Yeah my car's pretty good but
Space Ship One just rules
Space Ship One just rules

I've saving money gonna get me a ticket
And I'll buy you one if you come along
The only way that I know how to make some money
Is to play guitar in rock and roll songs
So I put my amplifier in the back of my car
Meet my band for a gig at the school
Yeah we're all pretty good but
Space Ship One just rules
Space Ship One just rules
Space Ship One just rules
Space Ship One just rules
Space Ship One just rules
Space Ship One just rules

02. Every Hot Girl Is A Rockstar

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
Who's that girl with the dark sunglasses
Who's that girl with the hat pulled low
She can't disguise while she tries to advertise
The secret of what's hidden there below

Cause every hot girl is a rock-star
When she's wearing those clothes
Yeah everybody knows that
Every hot girl is a rock-star
Yeah and she just laughs
If you want an autograph
Then gets back in her car
Like a hot girl rock and roll star

Who's that girl with the hot new boyfriend
Who's that girl always on the telephone
She's telling lies and won't he be surprised
To find out that she can't be left alone

Cause every hot girl is a rock-star
When she's wearing those cloths
Yeah everybody knows that
Every hot girl is a rock-star
Yeah and she just laughs
If you want an autograph
Then gets back in her car
Like a hot girl rock and roll star

I never met her, never met her, never met a woman here before
I'm gonna get her, gonna get her, gonna get over the fear before
The dress she wore gets hung on someone else's door

Who's that girl just changing her direction
Who's that girl just look me in the eye
She's not to blame, I know it's hard to turn down fame
The drug we take when we need to get high

Cause every hot girl is a rock-star
When she's wearing those clothes
Yeah everybody knows that
Every hot girl is a rock-star
Yeah and she just laughs
If you want an autograph
Then gets back in her car
Like a hot girl rock and roll star

03. On The Way To Hell

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
Yesterday I had a killer date, uh huh
Today I woke up just a little late, she's gonna
Hold my hand and take me to the gate now
On the way to hell

I'm not a man, I'm just a skinny kid, I don't
Know what I want, maybe if I did I'd have a
Better chance not ending up like Sid now
On the way to hell

I'm on my way to hell
On my way to hell
I'm on my way

I'm only asking for a little more, I wanna
See a girl I never seen before, she's gonna
Show me something that I can't ignore now
On the way to hell

I'm gonna wrap her up in cellophane, and take her
Across the water in my aeroplane, I'm gonna
Play this guitar until we insane now
On the way to hell

It's just a city like L.A.
They got a new Hard Rock Cafe
We'll buy a t-shirt on a holiday
Because your friends will wanna see it
Then I'm taking you across the stream
Not gonna stop until I hear you scream
Remember life is really but a dream
So you might as well dream it
Might as well dream it

I'm only asking for a little more, I wanna
See a girl I never seen before, she's gonna
Show me something that I can't ignore now
On the way to hell

I'm not a man I'm just a skinny kid, I don't
Know what I want and maybe if I did I'd have a
Better chance not ending up like Sid now
On the way to hell

I'm on my way to hell
On my way to hell
I'm on my way

I'm on my way to hell
On my way to hell
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
On my way to hell

I love my SVT

06. Terrible Man

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man
Since I done my baby wrong
I'm a terrible man
Got wall to wall carpet
In my custom Dodge van but
I'm a terrible man

I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man
Since I done that girl so wrong
I'm a terrible man
I got a condo on the beach
And a California tan but
I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man

I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man
Since I left her standing alone
I'm a terrible man
Got a solid gold record
With my rock and roll band
Everybody's being nice to me
But they don't understand, no
I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man

I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man

I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man

I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man
I'm a terrible man

07. Interaction

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
If I have to go somewhere
No, I'm not going alone
Interaction baby
Interaction baby
Interaction baby

If I have to work somewhere
No, I'm not working alone
Interaction baby
Interaction baby
Interaction baby

If I have to sleep somewhere
No, I'm not sleeping alone
Interaction baby
Interaction baby
Interaction baby

Interaction baby

09. Mr. Spock

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
I can't breathe, there's too much dust in the air
I can't see, cause all the grease in my hair
Is getting in my eyes and makes me look like I'm crying

I can't stay, already been here too long
I can't leave, don't want to leave you alone
Now I'm a big strong man so don't you think that I'm crying

No it's the rain outside getting on my face
Or the foam from a glass of beer
Or the water fountain was misplaced
It is anything but a tear

No I'm not crying, I'm not crying
I don't have time to spend on that
I've got to keep on trying
I'm not crying, I'm not crying
I only want you back
And so I really should be flying
To knock on your door, Mr. Spock is no more

I can't feel, because my heart is so strong
I can't go, I don't know where I belong
I keep on searching for a place, can't you see that I'm trying

I can't hide, because I'm six feet four
I don't fit, cause I'm too tall for the door
I hit my head if I forget and band aids I'm buying

Now it's the rain outside getting on my face
Or the foam from a glass of beer
Or the water fountain was misplaced
It is anything but a tear

No I'm not crying, I'm not crying
I don't have time to spend on that
I've got to keep on trying
I'm not crying, I'm not crying
I only want you back
And so I really should be flying
To knock on your door, Mr. Spock is no more

Now it's the rain outside getting on my face
Or the foam from a glass of beer
Or the water fountain was misplaced
It is anything but a tear

No I'm not crying, I'm not crying
I don't have time to spend on that
I've got to keep on trying
I'm not crying, I'm not crying
I only want you back
And so I really should be flying
To knock on your door, Mr. Spock is no more
To knock on your door, Mr. Spock is no more

10. Boku No Atama

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
Boku no atama wa tomato de dekite iru
Boku no atama wa tomato de dekite iru
Demo tomato no hou ga
Nasu yori suki dayo

Boku no haato wa ichigo de dekite iru
Boku no haato wa ichigo de dekite iru
Demo ichigo no hou ga
Nashi yori suki dayo

Anata no atama wa nani de dekiteru ka
Anata no haato wa nani de dekiteru ka

Boku no atama wa tomato de dekite iru
Boku no haato wa ichigo de dekite iru

11. Good Man

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
That's the phone that I had when you were mine
In those days it was ringing all the time
Calling you so I knew you were fine
And a good man I felt that I could be
I was strong, full of hope and dignity
But the break, that mistake came from me

I know you, you know me
Why we aren't together is a mystery
That only we know, we know
All I want to do is be together with you and let you know
I'll be a good man
All I want to do is be together with you and never go
I'll be a good man

Every night I can see you in my dreams
But my days are so empty and it seems
Being wrong takes so long to remedy
And I've tried taking everyone's advice
Just move on, get back in and roll the dice
But the song I sing in my head is "Wouldn't it be nice"

I know you, you know me
Why we aren't together is a mystery
That only we know, we know
All I want to do is be together with you and let you know
I'll be a good man
All I want to do is be together with you and never go

And I've tried taking everyone's advice
Just move on, get back in and roll the dice
But the song I sing in my head is "Wouldn't it be nice"

I know you, you know me
Why we aren't together is a mystery
That only we know, we know
All I want to do is be together with you and let you know
I'll be a good man
All I want to do is be together with you and let you know
I'll be a good man
All I want to do is be together with you and never go
I'll be a good man

12. Wash My Car

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
If I wash my car
You know I'm gonna feel all right
If I wash my car
You know I'm gonna feel all right
If I wash my car
I'm gonna feel like a star tonight

If I keep it clean
And drive it out to Hollywood
If I keep it clean
And drive it out to Hollywood
If I keep it clean
You know it's gonna feel so good

Got a girl here that wants me to stay
Got another who wants me to play
Tonight I just can't decide
Gonna free my soul and just go for a ride

If I wash my car
You know it's gonna be all right
If I wash my car
I'm gonna feel like a star tonight
All right

Got a girl here that wants me to stay
Got another who wants me to play
Tonight I just can't decide
Gonna free my soul and just go for a ride

If I don't come back
Don't worry cause I'm not far
Just letting the time roll by
While washing the car
Let it roll

If I wash my car
You know I'm gonna feel all right
If I wash my car
You know I'm gonna feel all right
If I wash my car
I'm gonna feel like a star tonight

If I keep it clean
And drive it out to Hollywood
If I keep it clean
And drive it out to Hollywood
If I keep it clean
You know it's gonna feel so good
Just letting the time roll by
Washing under the hood
When I wash my car
You know it makes me feel so good

I feel so good

13. It's All Too Much

Music & lyrics by George Harrison
[The Beatles Cover]

It's all too much
It's all too much

When I look into your eyes, your love is there for me
And the more I go inside, the more there is to see

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere, it's what you make
For us to take, it's all too much

Floating down the stream of time, of life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are or where you'd like to be

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around here
All the world's a birthday cake
So take a piece but not too much

Set me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea

It's all to much for me to see
A love that's shining all around here
The more I am, the less I know
And what I do is all too much
It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere, it's what you make
For us to take, it's all too much
It's too much
It's too much

With your long brown hair and your eyes of blue
With your long brown hair and your eyes of blue
You're too much

14. We All Dream Of Love

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
We all dream of love
We all dream of meeting someone
Sent here from above

We all dream of love
We all dream of meeting someone
Sent here from above

But if no one comes we must endure
Have faith though we're not really sure
'Cause what else can you do
Until you meet that one who dreams of you

We all hope someday
We will fall in love
And it will never go away

We all hope someday
We will fall in love
And it will never go away

But if you fall down you must stay strong
Just get back up and sing your song
Cause what else can you do
Until you meet that one who hopes for you

And while we wait let's still have fun
And practice for the time to come
Cause what else can you do
Until you meet that one who dreams of you
Until you meet that one who dreams of you

We all dream of love
We all dream of meeting someone
Sent here from above
