Unless I Change My Mind

"Unless I Change My Mind"
words and music by brody
recorded live july 23, 2003 at the tiki torch lounge in san francisco, california

stuck in a rut and I can’t get out
I work at a dead end job
When I look around at the mess I’m in
I realize I’m a slob
Well I think it’s a problem that I have with attention
A little thing called ADD
I get where I wanna and then realize
It’s not where I wanna be

I guess I don’t know
I guess I don’t know

Unless I change
my mind again
I hope you’re not offended
with my lack of attention
Maybe I just need
a little ritalin
Unless I change
my mind again

Some say it’s a lack of interest
Some say it’s my weed
Some say the root of my problem
Lies in a healthy lack of need
Unless I change my mind again
I’ll say it’s what it is
If ADD is what it isn’t
Then I don’t know what is

I guess I don’t know
I guess I don’t know
Unless I change my mind again

Big Dumb Jerks
"Unless I Change My Mind"

Hate the way things look today
Overrun with disarray
Everyone could see the trap
But everybody's blind
It'll always bother me
All these distant hazy dreams
All these memories and scraps
From another time
I can make it go away
I know how to kill the pain
I will be forever trapped
Unless I change my mind

Sever flesh and bone
Stare into the mirror
The scalpel won't atone
Its purpose is much clearer
Piercing through inside
Into my open mind
Nothing left to miss
When ignorance is bliss

Grit my teeth and grip my blade
Waiting for these things to fade
Slowly, oh so slowly in
Paying back mankind
Crimson fills my tired eyes
Tears of joy in paradise
Dripping softly from my grin
Head and hand entwined
All will be corrected
As soon as I'm dissected
But I won't be rid of these things
Unless I change my mind

Unless I Change My Mind
by Blind Mime Ensemble

words and music by Bryan Baker

Unless I change my mind
I'm walking out that door
'Cos I know out there I'll find
What I am looking for
Unless I change my mind

Unless I change my mind
I'll be gone when you awake
I'll be leaving you behind
There's not much more I can take
Unless I change my mind

But every time I try to leave you
I'm just tugging on a chain
And every time I try to leave you
Is one more time that I remain
To wonder why
I'm so insane

Unless I change my mind
I'm walking out that door
'Cos I know out there I'll find
What I am looking for
Unless I change my mind

Feldspar
Unless I Change My Mind

I hear the skies are blue again
I think the rain has gone
so what the fuck am I doing here in bed
when there ain't nothing wrong

I see the writing on the wall
though it's too dark to read
I hear the message and heed the call
the things it says to me

What if I told you you can't change my mind anymore
Would you give my jacket back before you push me out the door
Unless I change my mind and then there's nothing left to say
My poor old mind is prone to wandering back to yestarday

I see the sky in shades of tan
I see the grass in berber
try not to think about it, man
I just lie back and murmur

She's playing spin the bottle with
a cherry Jones and a gun
and though she's wounded lesser men
she says it's all in good fun

What if I told you you can't change my mind anymore
Would you give my jacket back before you push me out the door
Unless I change my mind just to prove that I still can
Catch my breath and moan and vaguely try to understand

I hear the raindrops on my roof
though smilin' mr. sun is shining through
I hear the rain, it calls to me
it falls for me, it falls on my lawn

Unless I Change My Mind.

We could rehearse everything until we get it right, or we could stay up wondering if we ever really tried.
We could skip the courting and just show them what we're like, or you could keep them in the dark for a little bit longer.
I am not worth breaking hearts or changing minds, but in my world, I decide - and you're mine.

Unless I Change My Mind - SSSC vs. The Loophole


Unless I change my mind, I think it's time I re-evaluate what it means to "be human." This is not the life I was promised. Or should I make like a computer and "get with the program?"

Unless I Change My Mind by Jim of Seattle

I said get out
Get on your way
I said get lost, be gone, take off
Right now, today
I know you love me but I’ve had it to here
Don’t come over, write me, or call
We had our fun but it’s over, pretty baby
We’re through now, pretty baby
That’s all
Unless I change my mind
Unless I change my mind
Now I’ve been known to from time to time
And I might change my mind

I’m hanging up
Don’t call no more
I said good-bye, so long, the end
When I shut that door
You know I love you but it’s way too late
Now you’ve put me on the attack
So stop your calling and don’t you leave a message
I’m never ever calling you back
Unless I change my mind
Unless I change my mind
Yes I’ve been known to from time to time
And I might change my mind

Baby, please come back
Don’t give up yet
I might have said a couple things that I regret
I know you hate me now, but give me a chance
Don’t decide to leave me alone
You told me you’d never talk to me again
But I’ll wait for you right here by the phone
Unless I change my mind
Unless I change my mind
Now I’ve been known to from time to time
And I might change my mind
Yes I’ve been known to from time to time
And I might change my mind
Yes I might change my mind

Song Title: Until I Change My Mind
By: Rachael Layne

Just another dead end
Another wasted trip
Starting back at square one
Gotta get a grip
Gotta find a place
Where I belong
Time is not on my side
Can't take too long

Writing out the perfect story line
The right combination of word and rhyme
And I think I might have it right this time
That is unless I change my mind

Finding out just who I am
Where do I start where will it end
Looking in the mirror I can see
A story that can't find a destiny

Writing out the perfect story line
The right combination of word and rhyme
And I think I might have it right this time
That is unless i change my mind

Stareing at the pages
Of my life
The next chapter's a mystery, what should I write
Each action crucial, so much between the lines
Proceed with caution
My hand is blind

Writing out the perfect storyline
The right combination of word and rhyme
And I think I might have it right this time
That is unless I change my mind
(repeat X 1)

Jon Eric & the Accidents - "Unless I Change My Mind"

I never thought Mom would leave me
if I was never there.
but she sees just a shikse
where I see a maiden fair.

Still I thought she was being funny
when she said "okay, leave me behind
unless she's in the money
or unless I change my mind."

("Should I do the solo?" etc. etc.)

She's far too white all over
all flaxen and pale blue.
But somehow she's just like mother,
how she fills my mind up too.

I thought she was jsut being funny
when she said "okay, leave me behind
unless she's in the money
or unless I change my mind."
