lyrics

You got your new girlfriend, and that's good
You know I really mean it
I know I don't sound sincere when I say things but really I do
Cuz I just want the best for you
You're a real superstar now, and that's true
You know I wouldn't be the
You know I wouldn't be the person I am today without you.
And I'm done trying to proselytize, the best thing I can try
To do is wish nothing but the best to you

Oh I know we ain't talkin no more, and you probably won't hear this song
But this is my way of saying I care about you
You know as well as me, I wear my influences on my sleeve, but
I ain't like my heroes, I know when I'm in the wrong
I know when I've really hurt someone without meaning to

I've made a real embarrassment of myself over the last few months
And I hope you don't hear this and think it isn't genuine
Or just another act of bitter cruelty, I just have no other way of telling you that

I just want you to be happy
In an ideal world we'd all be friends forever
But no one can be friends forever
All I want is for you to be happy
I'm sorry for being a neurotic freak with a victim complex
You just mean a lot to me and you always will

You know some people only come into your life for a short while
And these people that only come for a short while
They have the potential to change everything

To Them We'll Always Be Freaks
by Ezra Furman

supported by 4 fans who also own “I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY!”

The original album is up there as the best I've ever heard, songs and production-wise. So it's a real treat to hear all the behind the scenes recordings and demos of these songs. I specifically enjoy listening to Ben's more synth oriented demos like Driving Down To L.A. and God Lifts Up The Lowly. Great stuff! Livvy Rose

Point Me Toward The Real
by Ezra Furman

supported by 4 fans who also own “I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY!”

Point Me Toward The Real is a slow hymn with grand gestures like the brass section; and, on the other hand, is refreshingly unpretentious as an indie-rock band on its first demo tapes. Negative White
