    Story Behind the Song
    This is an odd one. I wasn't going to include it on the record, but by request of everybody who heard it... it is now on there. The song includes a Rythm track composed of a closing door for the bass drum, a hammer on a platform for the snare, a hammer on a nail for the high hat, a cash register drawer, and a bell. I wanted it to be kind of a rythm of life thing. Anyway the song is about being in high school and wanting to be popular. Juli is painfully shy and can't talk to people. She wants to be popular but is starting to realize that maybe they aren't who she wants to be like. Bobby is exactly the opposite... he hates the popular kids but is afraid of the mark that they are leaving on him. Then there is me who was also not popular in school writing this song. Juli has gone on to be a number one novelist, and Bobby is in a successful band. The third verse is about how now we are the popular ones and we are the idols of the popular girl. The whole situation is now turned around. Anyway hope you enjoy the song.

    Lyrics
    One of Them
    Verse 1
    Juli steps down the hall
    Casting her eyes towards the floor
    Moving past rows of her peers
    Hoping she makes it to the door
    Without someone staring or looking at her twice
    What is it haunting her soul
    Will no one ever ask her does on one really care
    Why she's living in an artificial World

    Chorus 1
    And she wants to be one of them
    But she's changing her mind
    No one has offered her
    What she was looking to find

    Verse 2
    Bobby is the Anti-Christ hero
    Making his scene at the fair
    Fearless he makes an impression
    As he runs his long fingers through his hair
    As he walks through the door of his trialer in the woods
    His father nearly knocks him to the floor
    And he has none to talk to and he has none to care
    Why he's fighting this war here in his home

    Chorus 2
    And he hates everyone of them
    Fearing he'll find
    Pieces of all of them
    Leaving thier mark on his mind

    Bridge
    Now both of them are growing up
    And finding they both have thier place
    Changing maturing
    And witing their name on the page
    Juli writes a number one novel
    Bobby's on tour with his band
    And here I sit with this pen in my hand
    While I think of you being a fan
    And I'm all alone
    And I'm out of place
    As I'm making this delicate change
    I'm gonna be that star on your wall
    I'm gonna be yeah.. I'm working I'm gettin back up

    Verse 3
    Angel threw her coat on the bed
    Dancing for the lovers in her mind
    Looking through the words of her heros
    Searching for someone with a sign
    And she looks thourgh her pictures of Lennon and the Cure
    Boys and teen idols with long hair
    and she cuts out their faces for places on her walll
    One day maybe she will put me there

    Chorus 3
    Then I could be one of them
    Helping her write
    Pages of memories
    That are much better than mine
    And now we are one of them
    Helping her write
    Pages of memories
    Someone to turn on the light
