39/Smooth is Green Day's first full-length studio album that was released in 1990 on Lookout! Records on vinyl (including limited quantities of clear green vinyl) and cassette. It would later be combined with the Slappy and 1,000 Hours EPs, plus a track from a compilation, released the following year as 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours on CD and cassette. In 2005, the album went out of circulation temporarily when the band had to remove their catalog from Lookout! Records due to unpaid royalties.
Hey there lookin' at me
Tell me what do you see
But you quickly turn your head away
Try to find the words I could use
Don't have the courage to come up to you
My chance is looking a bit grey
Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time
What is it that drives me mad
Girls like you that I never had
What is it about you that I adore?
What makes me feel so much pain?
That makes me go so insane
What is it about you that I adore?
Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time
Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why did you have to walk away?
Oh well it happened again
She walked away with her boyfriend
Maybe we'll meet again someday.
I'll go for miles, 'til I find you
You say you want to leave me
But you can't choose
I've gone through pain
Every day and night
I feel my mind is going insane
Something I can't fight
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
A blank expression
Covering your face
I'm looking for directions
For out of this place
I start to wonder
If you'll come back
I feel the rain storming after thunder
I can't hold back
Don't leave me
I'll go for miles
Till I find you
You say you want to leave me
But you can't choose
I've gone through pain
Every day and night
I feel my mind is going insane
Something I can't fight
Don't leave me
Looking back upon my life
And the places that I've been
Pictures, faces, girls I've loved
I try to remember when
Faded memories on the wall
Some names I have forgotten
But each one is a memory I
Look back on so often.
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
Looking back what I have done
There's lots more life to live
At times I feel overwhelmed
I question what I can give
But I don't let it get me down
Or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am
I always have tomorrow
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
Looking back upon my life
Faded memories on the wall
Looking now at who I am
I don't let it get me down.
Looking back upon my life
And the places that I've been
Pictures, faces, girls I've loved
I try to remember when
But I don't let it get me down
Or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am
I always have tomorrow
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
Now you see me, now you don't
Don't ask me where I'm at
'Cause I'm a million miles away
Treated like a forbidden heel
Don't say my thoughts are not for real
Or you won't see me again
Am I here or am I there
Or am I playing on the stairs
Am I in my room with my toys
I am the disappearing boy
When I walk in crowded rooms
I feel as if it is my doom
I know that I don't belong
In that room I see her
I see her and she's with him
I turn and then I'm gone
Don't call me up 'cause I'm not home
My whereabouts are now unknown
I vanished from all your joy
I'm the disappearing boy
I have my doubts
Of where I belong
It's something to think about
Don't call me up 'cause I'm not home
My whereabouts are now unknown
I vanished from all your joy
I'm the disappearing boy
A small cloud has fallen The white mist hits the ground My lungs comfort me with joy Vegging on one detail The rest just crowds around My eyes itch of burning red
Picture sounds Of moving insects so surreal Lay around Looks like I found something new
Laying in my bed I think I'm in left field I picture someone, I think it's you You're standing so damn close My body begins to swell Why does 1 + 1 make 2

Here we go again, infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Oh, but then again it seems
Much more than that, but
I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking
Well, I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say
What the hey!
Would I last forever?
You and I together, hand and hand
We run away (far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can
Give that comes my way (far away)

Every night I dream the same dream
Of getting older and older all the time
I ask you now, what does this mean?
Are these problems just in my mind?
Things are easy when you're a child
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
The length I've gone are just long miles
Would they be shorter if I were dead?
Every time I look in my past
I always wish I was there
I wish my youth would forever last
Why are these times so unfair?
Look at my friends and see what they've done
Ask myself why they've had to change?
I like them better when they were young
Now all these times are rearranged
I look down and stand there and cry
Nothing ever will be the same
The sun is rising, now I ask why?
The clouds now fall and here comes the rain
Every time I look in my past
I always wish I was there
I wish my youth would forever last
Why are these times so unfair?
Every night I dream the same dream
Of getting older and older all the time
I ask you now, what does this mean?
Are these problems just in my mind?
Things are easy when you're a child
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
The length I've gone are just long miles

Why are these times so unfair?
I always waste my time just wonderin'
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance
I always waste my time just wonderin'
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance
And I feel forgotten
Feel like rottin'
(Do you feel the same?)
(Do you feel the same?)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
(It's calling my name)
(It's calling my name)
I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same
It's just like our brain
When it goes insane
We feel the same pain
All my life I've seemed to have this need
I think at times it even turns to greed
We all want to join some family
We'll even sacrifice a moral changing
And I feel forgotten
Feel like rottin'
(Do you feel the same?)
(Do you feel the same?)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
(It's calling my name)
(It's calling my name)

And maybe if you'd smile

Hey can you hear me? I'm calling your name Hello? Or is this goodbye? The gleam in your eyes It troubles my brain Will I see it again? So I can rest my head
Angel...Angel! Dancing away As all of my thoughts get rearranged Angel...Angel! Turning away Just when thing seem To have changed So I can rest my head
Hey can you hear me? I'm calling your name Hello? Or is this goodbye? The gleam in your eyes It troubles my brain Will I see it again? So I can rest my head
Princess in a school girl's dream May I please speak with you? I'm having troubles with control And it's all because of you Today I kept on falling down I thought it was the street So I look down at my shoes They were on the wrong feet
I find it hard to be myself (Can you please explain?) I do not think that it's my health (You're the one to blame) You're the one I wish I had And now my girlfriend is getting mad (I cannot call this sane)
Today as I was walking down You bumped into me You said "excuse me" and walked away As I dropped to my knees I prayed to the being in the sky That my parents told me of I asked about you but no reply No clues about your love!
I find it hard to be myself (Can you please explain?) I do not think that it's my health (You're the one to blame) My girlfriend left me on the phone I'm pathetically left here alone (I cannot call this sane)
Can we find a way So that you can stay I think I'm gonna Pop
