 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

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

 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

  Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we was young and in love
  And you're the only girl I'm ever thinking of
 YOU DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME (Dee Dee Ramone)
  You  didn't mean anything to  me

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
 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
 Everybody was cranky
 Even the maids were mean
 We ran into a miracle
 There was beer in the soda machine

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

7-11 (Joey Ramone)

[[C]  [Am] ] x2

[C]I met her at the [Am]7-11 yeah
Now I'm in seventh heaven
[F]Tell me tell me can [G]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

   [Am]We was [C]young and in love
   We was young and in love
   And yo[Am]u're the only girl I'm ever th[C]inking of[G]

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...

      [F]And so we [G]went out to the [C]dance [Am]
      Which turned into a whole romance
      [F]And after [G]just one night
      I never thought that things could be so right
      [F]Oh no-no [G]no no no-no [C]no  [Am]

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)

   [C]You didn't mean anything t[F]o me[A]
   [F]You didn't mean anything t[C]o me[A]

[D]Skies were c[E]loudy ever[A]yday
Nothing wanted to grow
We had our last chance
[D]I think I told [A]you so
[D]Every dinner[E] was crumm[A]y
Nothing was on T.V.
I was ready to pack it up
[D]Our heads were [A]so achey

   [F]You didn't mean anything [C]to me[A]
   [C]You didn't mean anything [F]to me[A]

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

   [F]You didn't mean anything [C]to me[A]
   [C]You didn't mean anything [F]to me[A]

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
