Devotion 03:09
[Jonas:] Suddenly our shortcomings Don't seem to matter that much Your IQ is twenty points low And I'm no six-foot hot look all-American man Sad to say I pushed you away Waiting for Mrs Right You never gave up devotion Waiting for me You'll always be my girlfriend I too Waiting for you I'll always be your friend I commend your stubborness Without it we'd never got this far I am done with perfection Chasing her leaves me with nothing but pain Unlike you She isn't true She's got her own concerns You never gave up devotion Waiting for me You'll always be my girlfriend I too Waiting for you I'll always be your friend Devotion Waiting for me You'll always be my girlfriend I too Waiting for you I'll always be your friend...
22.
[Jonas:] What is this I find...? Under your behind? Extra huge, and it's used I wonder which two of us best of friends opened and used it? [Maria:] Jonas you know I waited Waited 'till I couldn't take it... I was alone, he called on the phone And gave me the love you wouldn't... Think of the times we had Think of the times we had It has come true If I could undo What you made me do
23.
[Jonas:] Sometimes I wanna pack it all up, get on a bus and move to Vermont Or Maine, or any of those states back east that I remember Sometimes I wanna go back to school, an east coast college with some history I'd be satisfied, I know, in the simple things Longtime sunshine Longtime sunshine upon me Sometime I wanna build a house with a wood stove or a fire place In the middle of the living room an old piano Sometimes it don't seem so bad to settle down with a good woman Leave this lonely life behind forever, and ever Longtime sunshine Longtime sunshine upon me Sometimes I wanna get in a car, close my eyes and drive real fast Keep on going 'til I get some place where I can truly rest Longtime sunshine Longtime sunshine upon me Longtime sunshine Longtime sunshine upon me (Longtime sunshine upon me)

about

This project was taken up by me in vein of other SFTBH reconstructions like soniclovenoize's, which featured additional songs not originally part of SFTBH, but were recorded during the era and fit in thematically. The overall goal was to create a fully fleshed-out album with a complete story and segues into each song, not just a simple playlist. The track listing was taken from an idea by David J. Stepp on the Weezer forums. Here his track listing with reasoning behind each track (tracks added by me are You Gave Your Love To Me Softly, "Interlude", and Getting Up and Leaving:

ACT I
1. Blast Off! - Jonas, Wuan, Dondo, and Maria blast off into outer space.
2. Who You Callin' Bitch? - Maria gets upset over Dondo calling her a bitch. Jonas attempts to calm her down.
3. Oh Jonas - Maria declares her love for Jonas.
4. Please Remember - Jonas tries to push Maria away, but eventually gives in to Maria's love.
5. Come to My Pod - Jonas disregards his desire for true love and succumbs to his intense lust for Maria.
6. You Gave Your Love To Me Softly - Jonas makes love to Maria.
7. Oh No, This Is Not For Me - Jonas realizes that he is making a mistake by following lust and not love.
8. I'm Tired of Having Sex - Jonas is tired of a loveless life and just wants to make love come true.
9. Superfriend - Jonas declares his love for Laurel, but Laurel wants none of it.
10. Waiting On You - Laurel becomes distant from Jonas, and Jonas is devastated that he may have been lead on.
11. Getchoo - Jonas vents his frustrations over Laurel leading him on. He realizes that like he has lead Maria on, Laurel has done the same to him.

12. Interlude - Reprisal of Superfriend separating the two acts.

ACT II
13. Dude, We're Finally Landing - Wuan and Dondo are excited about landing, but Jonas doesn't care.
14. You Won't Get With Me Tonight - Maria tries to get with Jonas again, but Jonas wants none of it.
15. Why Bother? - After two failed relationships with Laurel and Maria, Jonas wonders why he should even bother with love.
16. Getting Up and Leaving - Jonas wishes he could go back home and forget everything that has happened.
17. She's Had a Girl - Maria gives birth to Jonas' daughter. Jonas decides it would be best to settle with Maria.
18. Now I Finally See - Jonas repeats his sentiments on now having to surrender to Maria's love.
19. I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams - Laurel realizes she really was in love with Jonas, but now with Jonas surrendering to Maria's love, there is no way that she can be with him anymore.
20. There Is No Other One - After becoming a father to Maria's daughter, Jonas realizes now that there is no other one but Maria who he can love, even if she is totally wrong for him.
21. Devotion - Jonas officially succumbs to Maria's love for good.
22. What Is This I Find? - Jonas finds an extra-large used condom under Maria's bed.
23. Longtime Sunshine - Jonas expresses his dissatisfaction with life, and reminisces about the simpler times he used to live in.

Notes on track choice and edits:
Blast Off! features the common addition of the track "Ooh" off of Alone as in introduction, although this features a monotone countdown ending with interference that leads directly into the first beat of the song.

Who You Callin' Bitch? and Oh Jonas have been merged together somewhat; Oh Jonas starts when Maria comes back in at the end of WYCB, removing the truncated "d***" and the awkward fade in of Oh Jonas.

You Gave Your Love To Me Softly is the demo version found on Alone 3, instead of the b-side version found on Pinkerton's Deluxe Edition.

Oh No, This Is Not For Me has had the drumsticks removed and fades into I'm Tired of Having Sex, although this is the version found on Alone 1. I felt that the transition between the two was much better than the transition to the tracking rough off of Pinkerton Deluxe. The 2 seconds of silence have been replaced with the interference from the beginning of Blast Off!

Waiting on You is the demo version found on Alone 3.

Getchoo is the demo version found on Alone 3, but has been sped up by 8% to match the 2:53 running time on Pinkerton.

"Interlude" consists of the second half of the "Longtime Sunshine" track found on Alone 3, which is an instrumental reprisal of Superfriend.

She's Had a Girl has been shortened by 4 lines of lyrics, and instead transitions directly into Now I Finally See, effectively replacing the last lines.

There Is No Other One is the demo version found on Alone.

Longtime Sunshine is the solo demo found on Alone 1 with the first half of "Longtime Sunshine" from Alone 3 added on to the end serving as a conclusion to the opera.
