Indian summer
Fresh mown grass
Girls in the attic
looking on them
Indian summer
call me back
Someone tell me there is another way
Is it loud
Is it autumn that you're talking about
Is it why
Is it lost on what I'm talking about
Is it just that you can't find a way out
Find another way
teach me how to pray
Indian Summer
Through the year
On the medicine wheel
Call me back
Trap me in between
somewhere west
somewhere south
it seems these days
anything west gets the blade
gets wasted
Is it right
Is it real what you're talking about
Everything that I feel
you're talking about
Sometimes I don't know what I'm hearing now
Is there another way
There is another way
another way to pray
Here, here, here, here
Girls take your hands like you pray
over the ground
then back on your body
Girls take your hands like you pray
through the blades of grass
gently, gently, gently
There is another way
yes, another way
another way to pray
Indian summer
Fresh mown grass
Can you Mr Bush
light the sage
Can you, anyone that's listening
find a way
It is clear, it is clear
that we need another way
another way to pray
Do you feel
Do you feel now
what I'm talking about
everywhere that I look
I know no one's coming out
out of it
what it is
and what they're feeling now
There is another way
another way to pray
A little dust never stopped me none, he liked my shoes I kept them on.
Sometimes I can hold my tongue, sometimes not,
When you just skip-to-loo, my darlin',
And you know what you're doin' so don't even...
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
And I think I could leave your world,
If she was the better girl.
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker.
'Cause I'm not sure what you're doin' or the reasons.
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
Hey, yeah you're just too used to my honey, now.
Don't bother coming down,
I made a friend of the western sky.
Don't bother coming down,
You always like your babies tight.
Turn back one last time, love to watch those cowboys ride.
But cowboys know cowgirls ride on the Indian side.
And you know what you're doin' so don't even...
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
Hey, yeah you're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey, now.

I'm going to Antarctica
It feels like these days
Our old meeting place
In an LA cafe
Off on the Serengeti
The hunt has now begun
Cause I am tired of you taking from me
And I have let you eat from the fruits of my tree
I am not the one to turn into a laurel wreath
For the last time you have crossed my
Crossed my line
You could never see, never see
Apollo's frock
Was always as beautiful
Always as beautiful as the saddest rainstorm
Apollo, your frock
Was always as beautiful
Always as beautiful as your sister's
That your light shined on
How can you think you've won
When there can be no winners
The soul has been lost
Of the bow and quiver
Do you remember
Well, I remember
Amid the clashing of swords
I'm losing you in my rear view
And I have called the Shekhina in
And the nine fold and a few other friends
You and your predators were warned
If the cubs were drawn in for the last time
You would officially cross my line
You could never see, never see
Apollo's frock
Was always as beautiful
Always as beautiful as the saddest rainstorm
Apollo, your frock
Was always as beautiful
Always as beautiful as your sister
Apollo, your frock
Was always as beautiful
Always as beautiful as the saddest rainstorm
Apollo, your frock
Was always as beautiful
Always as beautiful as your sister's
That your light shined on
Maybe I'm a witch
Lost in time
Running through the fields
Of Scotland by your side
Kicked out of France
But I still believe
Taken to a land
Far across the sea
Etienne, Etienne
Hear the west wind
Whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
By the morning
Maybe we'll remember
Who I am
Maybe you're the night
Who saved my life
Maybe we faced
The fire side by side
Here we are again
Under the same sky
As the gypsy crystal
Slowly dies
Etienne, Etienne
Hear the west wind
Whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
By the morning
Maybe we'll remember
Who I am
I close my eyes
See you again
I know I've held you
But I can't remember
Where or when
Oh Etienne, Etienne
Hear the west wind
Whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
By the morning
Maybe we'll remember
Who I am
Congradulate you
said you had a double tongue
Balancing cake and bread
Say goodbye to a glitter girl
Talula
Talula
You don't want to lose her
She must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little fig newton
Say goodbye to the old world
Ran into the henchman who severed
Anne Bolyn
He did it right quickly a merciful man
She said 1+1 is 2
but Henry said that it was 3
So it was
Here I am
Talula
Talula
I don't want to lose it
It must be worth losing if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
your little fig newton
and Jamaica
Do you know what I have done
Mary M weaving on said
what you want is in the blood of senators
I got Big Bird on the fishing line
I got a bit of a shout bit of a shout
a bit of an angry snout
He's my faourite hooker of the whole bunch
and I know about his only bribe
and how the Russians die on the ice
I got my rape hot on
honey but I always could accessorise
and I never cared too much for the money
but I know right now
that it's in God's hands
but I don't know who the father is
Talula
Talula
I don't want to lose him
he must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
He's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose

I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
They say that your demons can't go there
So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
as long as your army keeps perfectly still
And maybe I'll find me a sailor a tailor
and maybe together we'll make mother well
So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
as long as your army keeps perfectly still
You showed me the meadow and Milkwood and Silkwood
and you would if I would but you never would
so I chased down your posies your pansies in my hosies
then opened my hands and they were empty then
Off with superfly sniffing a Sharpie pen
Honey it's Bill and Ben
Off with superfly counting your bees
oh me honey like one two three
The camera is rolling
It's easy like one two three
And if there is a way to find you
I will find you
but will you find me if Neil
makes me a tree an afro a pharaoh
I can't go you said so
and threads that are golden don't break easily
So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
They say that your demons can't go there
So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on
as long as your army keeps perfectly still
keeps perfectly still
keeps perfectly still
Don't say morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take twenty five minutes
Out of the record books
Sugar, he brings me Sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
And hammers, he used one on me
Cold war with little boys
Get in with a bubble gum trade and
Sugar, bring me Sugar
And all the robins bring, bring me many things but
Sugar, he brings me Sugar
As far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
You know, and I know I don't know me very well
And I know, and you know if they found me out
Sugar, he brings me Sugar
I know the robins bring, they bring me many things
But Sugar, he brings me Sugar
She's Your Cocaine
She's got you shaving your legs
you can suck anything
but you know you wanna be me
put on your makeup boy
you're your favourite stranger
and we all like to watch
So shimmy once and do it again
bring your sister if you can't handle it
she says you control it
then she says you don't control it
then she says you're controlling
the way she makes you crawl
She's your Cocaine your Exodus laughing
and she knows what you are
so shimmy once and do it again
Bring your sister
Bring your sister if you can't handle it
If you want me to
Boy I could lie to you
you don't need one of these to let me inside of you
and is it true that devils end up like you
do something safe for the picture frame
and is it true that devils end up like you
so tied up you don't know how she came
She's your Cocaine
She's got you shaving your legs
she got you liking mine back
got me takin it in
getting mine back
lasting mine evil
I'm taking my easel
and I'm writing good checks
you sign Prince of Darkness
try squire of dimness
please don't help me with this
Heard from the TV
Of the latest bombing
The girls were dancing
She was coming of age
Shells fired out
Flowers mowed down
Innocence targeted
Whose God is this?
Wish that she had one more day
There at the seaside
5th of december
We chased the tide
As her treasures
Were gathered
I had to laugh
As she gave sand a bath
Jangle jangle
Jingle jangle
Jangle and circle again

you know what you know so you go break the terror of the urban spell
this alliance you say 'i'm on the threshold of greatness girl' so you burn
your pagoda through the congo till there's a broken bond
on the birth of the search white trash
my native son
it will all find its way in time
blossom riot poof
you know what you know so you go chain her to your flow
she bites through your lean dried meatas she's
going to the movie show
in a bath of gliter and a tiny shiver
she crawls through your lava sea
black sahara
i'm stepping into your space oddity
it will all find its way in time
blossom riot poof
the sun is warming
my man is moistening
on the bomb
on the bond
on the bomb
Feel a little hand turning inside me
Don't you think she feels us fighting
Strike me at the root
I won't let you
Put her through
What you put me through
When I said I wanted it all
Doesn't every woman want it all
Running through the house screaming
Girl unstrung you could always play that one
Baptized of fire and every beat in the bar
Hymns for her
Feel her kick me from the inside
When I said I wanted it all
Doesn't every woman want it all
As a man do you find doesn't every boy smoke to cry
You could almost drown her waterfall
You could almost drown my waterfall
Through the looking glass, Ruby sees
Things in you
Things in me
She won't wanna be just a little light turning the key
At the root, what I missed she will carry
When I said I wanted it all
Doesn't every woman want it all
As a man do you find doesn't every boy smoke to cry
Smoke to cry, smoke to cry
Feel a little hand turning
Turning
Ruby
Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
glue
stuck to my shoes
does anyone know why you play with an orange rind
you say you packed my things
and divided what was mine you're off to the mountain top
I say her skinny legs could use sun
but now I'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on
don't make me scratch on you door
I never left you
for a Banjo
I only just turned around for a poodle
and a corvette
and my impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on
I'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost
passing through
I said
I'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost passing through
it's just your ghost
passing through
and now
I'm quite sure
there's a light in your platoon
I never seen a light move
like yours
can do to me
so now I'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
to me
but I've got a place to go
I've got a ticket to your late show
and I'm worrying cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage on
yes
when you're putting the damage on
you're just so pretty
when you're putting the damage on
Tears on the sleeve of a man
Don't wanna be a boy today
Heard the eternal footman
Bought himself a bike to race
And Greg he writes letters
And burns his CDs
They say you were something in those formative years
Hold onto nothing
As fast as you can
Well still pretty good year
Maybe a bright sandy beach
Is going to bring you back
May not so now you're off
You're gonna see America
Well let me tell you something about america
Pretty good year
Some things are melting now
Well what's it gonna take
Till my baby's alright
And Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen
Sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in
Lucy was pretty
Your best friend agreed
So I ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after Billy
Running after the rain
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things let them break
Their hold over me
He said you're really an ugly girl
But I like the way you play
And I died
But I thanked him
Can you believe that
Sick holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day
I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys
Those christian boys
So you can make me cum
That doesn't make you Jesus
I remember
Yes in my peach party dress
No one dared
No one cared
To tell me where the pretty girls are
Those demigods
With their nine-inch nails
And little fascist panties
Tucked inside the heart
Of ever nice girl
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Well hey do you do judo when they surround you
A little mental yoga will they disappear
It's grim but never dubious as motives go
No matter what it takes she promises a show
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me
I watch me be this other thing and never know
If I'm marooned o'er where the purple people go
Then lily white matricide from vicious words
It doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me
And on and on
The nurses make it clear
Just when you escape, you have yourself to fear
A restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast every hour, it could save the world
So hey do you do judo in your finery
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loud as she can be
These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me
Aaa laaa, aaa haa, for her, for her, mmm hmm

The Lord of The Files was
diagnosed as Sound
There was a garden
In the beginning
Before the fall
Before Genesis
There was a tree there
A tree of knowledge
Sophia would insist
You must eat of this

No, I don't think so

Muhammed my friend
it's time to tell the world
we both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
and on that fateful day
when she was crucified
she wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea
by her side
sweet sweet
used to be so sweet to me
Muhammed my friend
I'm getting very scared
teach me how to love my brothers
who don't know the law
and what about the deal on that flying
trapeeze got a peanut butter hand
but honey do drop in at the
Dew Drop Inn
sweet sweet
between the bots and the bees
and Moses I know
I know you've seen fire
but you've never seen fire
until you've seen Pele blow
and I've never seen light
but I sure have seen gold
and Gladys save a place for me
on your grapevine
till I get my own TV show
ashre ashre ashre ashre
and if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the
tidal wave I got a place
in the Pope's rubber robe
Muhammed my friend
it's time to tell the world
we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem
Icicle icicle
Where are you going
I have a hiding place
When spring marches in
Will you keep watch for me
I hear them calling
Gonna lay down
Gonna lay down
Greeting the monster in our easter dresses
Father says bow your head like the good book says
Well I think the good book is missing some pages
Gonna lay down
Gonna lay down
And when my hand touches myself
I can finally rest my head
And when they say take of his body
I think I'll take from mine instead
Getting off
Getting off
While they're all downstairs
Singing prayers
Sing away
He's in my pumpkin p.j.'s
Lay your book on my chest
Feel the word
Feel the word
Feel the word
The word feel it
I could have
I should have
I could have flown
You know I could have
I should have
I didn't go
Icicle Icicle
Where are you going
I have a hiding palce when spring marches in
WIll you keep watch for me I hear them calling
Gonna lay down
Hey you gender nectar
Sifting through the grain of gold
Tripping at your door is that you.
Alpha in her blood
And when the woman lies
You don't believe her
Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging
Running free
Running through the underworld int your room
Is he real or a ghost-lie
She feels she isn't hear
And the veil tears and rages till her voices are remembered
And his secrets can be told
Hey you gender nectar
Crystalline from the vine
You know you'll drink her
Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging
Funning free running through
The afterworld intoyour room
So she prays
For a prankster and lust
In the marriage bed
And he waits till she can give
Not tonight Josephine
In an army's strength
Therein lies the denouement
From here you're haunting me
By the Seine so beautiful
Only not to be of use
Impossible
So strange
Victory - 1,200 spires
The only sound
Moscow burning
Empty like the Tuileries
Like a dream
Vienna seems
Only not to be of use
Impossible
In the last extremity
To advance or not to advance
I hear you laughing
Even still you're calling me
"Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight"
Drivin' in my Saab
On my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Drivin' with my friends
On my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
So when I was out
In the desert
And a cowboy
Tried to lasso me
He said your red
And made of clay
A virgin portrait
I let him wake me
But decided not to stay
Next in New York
I fell out with a dragon
Of the white collar kind
But just as ferocious
I remembered Macha
Running faster than the horses
Then an encounter with
A voice that caressed me
Wasn't it you who
Held off a surrender
To one spoiled nun
Who taught you the names
Of the mountains
On the moon
And then a Jesuit
Proceded to arrange your soul
While I prayed
dropped off the edge again down in jaurez
"don't even bat an eye
if the eagle cries" the rasta man says,
just cause the desert likes young girls flesh and
no angel came
i don't think you even know
what you think you just said
so go on spill your seed
shake your gun to the rasta man's head
and the desert- she must be blessed and
no angel came
there's a time to keep it up
a time to keep it in
the indian is told
the cowboy is his friend
you know that i can breathe
even when i cheat
should. should've been over for me
no angel came
a Bouvier till her wedding day shots rang out and the police came
mama layed me on the front lawn and prayed for Jackie's strength
feeling old by 21
never thought my day would come
my bridesmaids getting laid I pray for Jackie's strength
make me laugh
say you know what you want
you said we were the real thing
so I show you some more and I learn
what black magic can do
make me laugh
say you know you can turn
me into the real thing
so I show you some more
and I learn
stickers licked on lunch boxes worshipping David Cassidy
yeah I mooned him once on Donna's box
she's still in recovery
sleep-overs Beene's got some pot
you're only popular with anorexia so I turn myself inside out
in hope someone will see
make me laugh
say you know what you want
you said we were the real thing
so I show you some more and I learn
what black magic can do
make me laugh
say you know you can turn
me into the real thing
so I show you some more
and I learn
I got lost on my wedding day typical the police came
but virgins always get backstage no matter what they've got to say
if you love enough you'll lie a lot
guess they did in camelot
mama's waiting on my front lawn
I pray I pray I said I pray
for Jackie's strength
I'm not in love, so don't forget it.
It's just a silly phase I'm going through.
And just because I call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...
I like to see you, but then again,
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me.
So if I call you, don't make a fuzz;
Don't tell your friends about the two of us.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...
I keep your picture upon the wall.
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.
So don't you ask me to give it back.
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me.
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me.
Ooh, you'll wait a long time.
"Fat Slut" you said
What luck I said
To be stuck in this happy family
Don't you dare I said
Judge me You go and
Stick It In Somewhere
I'm Sick-a hearin' it
Go Stick It In Somewhere
Baker Baker
Baking a cake
Make me a day
Make me whole again
And I wonder
What's in a day
What's in you cake this time
I guess you heard
He's gone to LA
He says that beihnd my eyes I'm hiding
And he tells me I pushed him away
That my hearts been hard to find
Here there must be something
Here there must be something here here
Baker Baker can you explain
If truly his heart
Was made of icing
And I wonder
How mine could taste
Maybe we could change his mind
I know you're late
For you next parade
You came to make sure
That I'm not running
Well I ran from hime
In all kinds of ways
Guess it was his turn this time
Time thought I'd made friends with time
Thought we'd be flying
Maybe not this time
Baker Baker
Baking a cake
Make me a day
Make me whole again
And I wonder
If he's ok
Maybe I'm a witch
Lost in time
Running through the fields
Of Scotland by your side
Kicked out of France
But I still believe
Taken to a land
Far across the sea
Etienne, Etienne
Hear the west wind
Whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
By the morning
Maybe we'll remember
Who I am
Maybe you're the night
Who saved my life
Maybe we faced
The fire side by side
Here we are again
Under the same sky
As the gypsy crystal
Slowly dies
Etienne, Etienne
Hear the west wind
Whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
By the morning
Maybe we'll remember
Who I am
I close my eyes
See you again
I know I've held you
But I can't remember
Where or when
Oh Etienne, Etienne
Hear the west wind
Whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
By the morning
Maybe we'll remember
Devils and Gods now that's an idea
But if we believe that its They who decide
That's the ultimate detractor of crimes
'cause Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
Father, I killed my monkey
I let it out to
Taste the sweet of spring
Wonder if I will wander out
Test my tether to
See if I'm still free
From you
Steady as it comes
Right down
To you
I've said it all
So maybe we're a Bliss
Of another kind
Lately, I"m in to circuitry
What it means to be
Made of you but not enough for you
And I wonder if
You can bilocate is that
What I taste
Your supernova juice
You know it's true I"m part of you
Steady as it comes
Right down
To you
I've said it all
So maybe we're a Bliss
Of another kind
Steady as it comes
Right down to you
I've said it all
So maybe you've a four horse engine
With a power drive
A hot kachina who wants into mine
Take it with your terracide
Steady as it comes
Right down
To you
I've said it all
I said a Bliss
Of another kind
I said a Bliss
Of another kind
I said a Bliss
Of another kind
So maybe we're a Bliss
A Bliss of
A Bliss of A Bliss of We're a Bliss
So don't give me respect
Don't give me a piece of your presiousness
flaunt all sh'es got in our old neighbourhood
I'm sure she'll make a few friends
Even the rain bows down
Let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane
No cigarettes only peeled Havanas for you
I can be cruel
I don't know why
Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel
I don't know why
I don't know why
Dance with the Sufis
Celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain
Lover brother bogenvilla
My vine twists around your need
Even the rain is sharp
Like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane
No cigarettes only peeled havanas for you
I can be cruel
I don't know why
Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel
I don't know why
I don't know why
I can be cruel
I don't know why
Why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel
I don't know why
not sayin'
not charmed at all
not sayin'
that you weren't worth
the fall
and i was alone when
i knew it was real
down the canyon
when i knew i had come
to the line
through the dawn
to the light
to the turn
when you said
you could drive
all night
drive all night
so i let crazy
take a spin
then i let crazy
settle in
kicked off my shoes
shut reason out
he said "first let's just
unzip your religion
down"
found that i
i craved at all
saw me melt
into your
native shelter
where you carved my
name
paper tigers scare
and came
alive
through the dawn
to the light
to the turn
when you said
you could drive all night
all night
drive all night
so i let crazy
take a spin
then i let crazy
settle in
kicked off my shoes
shut reason out
he said "first let's just
unzip your religion
down"
so i let crazy
pull me in
then i let crazy
take his spin
kicked off my shoes
shut reason out
he said "first let's just unzip
your religion down"
heard that you were once
"temptation's girl"
and as soon
as you have
rearranged the mess
in your head
he will show up looking
sane
perfectly sane
Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Lounge and return
Echo can't hear you
And as you wander
Through perfume
And pathways
Your version coercion
My version elixir of quietude
Line up the dots
Music to spy to
Music to die to
Spanking your lime
Over the crushed ice
Using the triad
To counter measure
You can't see my face
Dead letter box please
Your version coercion
My version elixir of quietude
Line up the dots
Music to spy to
Music to die to
Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Send me to Moscow

strange
thought i knew you well
thought i had read the sky
thought i had read a change
in your eyes to strange
woke up to a world
that i am not a part
except when i can play
it's stranger
after all what were you really looking for
and i wonder when will i learn
blue isn't red everybody knows this
and i wonder when will i learn
when will i learn
guess i was in
deeper than i thought i was
if i have enough love
for the both of us
"just stay"
you said "we'll build a nest"
so i left my life
tried on your friends
tried on your opinions.
so when the bridges froze
and you did not come home
i put our snowflake
under a microscope
after all what was i really looking for
and i wonder when will i learn
maybe my wish knew better than i did
and i wonder so strange now
i'm finally in
the party has begun
it's not like i can't feel you still
but strange what i will leave behind
you call me one more time
Slag pit
Stag shit
Honey bring it close to my lips
Don't blow those brains yet
We gotta be big boy
We gotta be big
Starfucker just like my Daddy
Just like my Daddy selling his baby
Just like my Daddy
Gonna strike a deal made him feel
Like a congressman
It runs in the family
Rest you shoulder Peaches and Cream
Everywhere a Judas as fas as you can see
Beautiful anbgel
Calling "We got every re-run of Muhammad Ali"
Prism perfect
Honey bring it close to your lipls
What is termed a landslide of principle
Proportion boy it better be big boy
Starfucker just like my Daddy
Just like my Daddy selling his baby
Just like my dady
Gonna strike a deal make him feel
LIke a Congressman
It runs in the family

life lines and suicide crimes --
he found me in a state
grabbed my purse and hitched a ride
with a mrs. jesus "how you been"
i've been cruisin' a good invention
but in some ways
i don't think it gets any easier
your walking on the water
bit by far my favourite one,
but now it seems we're drowning
in a drop of water love
and even as i'm climbing up the stairs
i know there's heaven there
and then empty arms that comes
with the morning star
well, made my bed of
cut roses by understanding
that the cause
it just comes first
with my mrs. jesus
the gospel changes meaning
if you follow john or paul
and could you ever let it be
the mary of it all
and even as i'm climbing up the stairs
well, life lines and suicide crimes
there's the something every day
and there's someone always paging
my mrs. jesus
your walking on the water
so if you get the jones at the crossroad
the personals are great
if you're my way
Here, I said
Don't even let this go
And it's
Hey to that old man
I'm coming in the graveyard
With my little tune
It's June
I said
She's gone but I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard
To sing you to sleep now
Whenever I'm alone with
You you make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say you know I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say you know I will always love you
I will always love you
Alamo
Heard all about your fandango
Banged on my knees
On your bay door
Only to wake you
To blues on the way
Blues on the way
Blues on the way
Embarcadere
Figures you'll see me as older
Twenty-three hours till the border
Don't think I'll be going
As fast as I came
Fast as I came
Fast as I came
Tears on my pillow
Of course they're not mine
Alter that altar
Make it a play
Somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances
Alamo
Wish I could do what God does
Heard that the stars were in order
God you served out a hand
With two queen of spades
And blues on the way
Blues on the way
Tears on my pillow
Of course they're not mine
Alter that altar
Make it a play
Somebody just
Somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances
me, me...
me in the corner
me in the spotlight
losing my religion
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
I think I saw you try
consider this
consider the lengths that I would go to
the slip that brought me to my knees
and I don't know if I can do it
oh no I said too much
I set it up
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
life is bigger
bigger than you and you are not me
the lengths that I would go to
hey, I said too much
I set it up
I think I saw you try
it's me, me...
me in the corner
losing my religion
trying to keep an eye on you
and I don't know if I can do it
oh no, I said too much
I set it up
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
losing my...
it's me
it's me...
can't you see
Thoughts right now
I picked up a magazine
Ohh here we go
Fifteen hundred years
Fifteen hundred years right here
Burning witches, burning books
Burning babies and their looks
Yes, indeed
Burning everything that's sacred in my genes
Thoughts right now
She'd been everybody else's girl
Thoughts right now
Now
Thoughts right now
Right now
Am I here
Am I here
Never here
I'm never here
I'm never here
I'm never here
Never a bird
In a flower, in the tree
In the pain of the respect thereof
Yes, indeed
Thoughts right now
What will become of me
Become of her
Become of we, baby
Yeah
One with her hands
Open
"Don't Be afraid" she said
"No one will know it -
Just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back
God I love to turn my little blue world
Upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world
Upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl
Upside down
Oh I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby
Upside down
But my heart it says
You been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother
But when you gonna stand on your own
I say the world is sick
You say "Tell me what that makes us darlin'"
You see, you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say "Baby what have you been smoking?"
Well I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed
I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Oh yeah
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl
Upside down
Any kind of touch I think is better than none
Even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word
It's the only thing we can seem to turn
Upside down
Well I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Is not okay
Oh, we turn and we turn our little blue world
Upside down
I said, don't we love to turn our little blue world baby
Upside down
Inside my head a voice
Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says "Girl you're all the same
Still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out
of your mothers
Upside down"
Master Shamen
I have come
With my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
All the angels
All the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them
Touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne
Sister Janet
You have come
From the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming none
Call the Wanderer
He has gone
And all those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wings
A wing can cover all sorts of things
All the angels
All the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them
Touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne
Toodles Mr. Jim
You cherry picker
Toodles I say, so long
Hear that your grave's a little warm
You stickler
Sing 'em all your happy song
It's today
Today Sunday
By your grave
I say toodles Mr. Jim
The cherry picker
Taught me so well
How to spell those red in
Hey
You know she deserved that nose
Splattered and swattered
Blood in my hands
Not a nice day for your little girl
But you came to my aid instead
Now it's toodles Mr. Jim
You cherry picker
Build that ladder well
Teach me just where those boys can climb
When they've got a spell
Toodles Mr. Jim
You are my sweet
Favourite neighbor of them all
Of them
Girls go to their parties
I don't care
'Cause I'm with you
Still
So some say she got
Green enough field
And some say she got
Too many strings
With petticoats out
And goin' hall gown
The sweetest nylon
No not where she's gone
Gonna raise his tail
And wraggle his wings
Some say she got
Plenty of stockings
Some say she got
Some Divas and Kramer
Why all this spare
Then shaking her tail
The sweetest nylon
No not where he's gone
Gonna raise his tail
And wraggle his wings
Until the little chicken come home
The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison sings for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
You know just what I'm here for
You're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright, I said, boy,
That's alright with me
Oh come take my hand
Driving out tonight to the promised land
Oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
Oh Thunder Road
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright
That's alright with me
Cheese and onion sandwiches on derby chinaware
Fiddles and jigs and Woogie my dog and TV havin' a swear
Takin' my dad for a pint or two
A Sunday morning stroll
Licorice pipes and baggy suits
Glen Hoddle scorin' a goal
Catchin' a pike and ridin' my bike on wooden wheels
And a bowl of eels
Yes... that's what I like, boy
That's what I like
Pie and mash and liquor
Walking about in the rain
William Brookes and comical looks
Pianos, trams and trains
Colds and cockles and thunderstorms
Place on the wireless and now
Grandfather clocks and coke and brandy
Fountain pens and Pinot and Dante
That's what I like, I said
Hey, that's what I like
Little pubs out in the country
Mother Pearl and Bernard Faire
The sound of a banjo
Barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
Burnt on toast
A beer from the wood and old Jerry Thomas' teeth
Jerry and Chuck and cannon and ball
A banjo pickin' Bill Keith
And old bank loads
Wood burnin' stoves and Shirley MacLaine
In "Petticoat Lane"
That's what I like, I said
That's what I like, yes boy
Yes, that's just, ohh
Bubble and squeak and jumble says Little Richard and Jerry Lee
Bonfire night and south and that's paddlin' in the sea
Polished brass and copper
Salvation Army bands
Violins and old coat shins and colored elastic bands
Tea in the mornin' and winter beginnin' and fishin' rods
And frogs and sparrows are winning
Yes that's what I like
Hey that's what I like
A day at the races
Cover the bases
Goin' doin bar-hoppin' in Kent
A new pair of braces
Little kids faces sleeping under the tin
And wagons
Chickens and pickin' blackberries and swallows and sledges
And Devon and derries
And haddock and trotters and horses and knickers
And swatters and stickers
And banjo
And kippers
Yeah, that's what I like, boy
That's what I like
This house is like Russia
With eyes cold and grey
You got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried deep in my heart yeah
But my priest says
You ain't saving no souls
My father says
You ain't making any money
My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky
My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way
So close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name
But my priest says
You ain't taking no souls
My father says
You ain't making any money
My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky
If you don't like me just a little
Why do you hang around
(There she goes again
Wearing those purple panties
There she goes again
Wearing her heart
There she goes again)
Why do you
Take it
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
I wait all day for my sailor
And sometimes he comes
See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me
You know me like the nightingale
"Oh fair maiden I see you standing there"
Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy your eyes haunt me
Got a sister named Desire
They don't let you
Like those little boys
By their house
On the backyard swing
I know of it 'cause
I thought we told
Some little sweet stories
In the parking lot
They say that girl lost her sway
The say that girl lost her sway
That day
God I'd like to drag him
For a long way 'cause maybe I
Then I'd just cry a little tear
Near him to that sleepy safe place
And I'm gonna take him by myself
If I've got to go
Don't let you know
Let you know
Where she goes to with those
Me as I interfere
That girl lost her sway
They say that girl lost her sway
That day
Teach me about them old worlds big brother
And in an elevator
Where somebody can get out
With the sound
They say that girl lost her sway
Just watch it
Just watch it slip through my hands, boy
Watch it go
Oh, what you know
I guess
I see
Just see
'Cause she still can sway
Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
Would not take the garbage out
She'd scour the pots and scrap the pans
Candy the yams and spice the hams
And though her daddy would scream and shout
She simply would not take the garbage out
And so it pulled up to the ceilings
Coffee grounds, potato peelings
Brown bananas, rotten peas
Chunks of sour cottage cheese
It filled the can it covered the floor
It cracked the window and blocked the door
With bacon rinds and chicken bones
Drippy ends of ice cream cones
Prunes pits, peach pits, orange peel
Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal
Pizza crusts and withered greens
Soggy beans and tangerines
Crusts of black burned butter toast
Grisly bits of beefy roast
The garbage rolled on down the hall
It raised the roof, it broke the wall
Greesy napkins, cookie crumbs
Glops of gooey bubble gum
Celaphane from green bologna
Rubbery blubbery macaroni
Peanut butter caked and dry
Curdled milk and crusts of pie
Moldy melons, dried up mustard
Egg shells mixed with lemon custard
Cold french fries and rancid meat
Yellow lumps of cream-of-wheat
At last the garbage reached so high
That finally it touched the sky
All the neighbors moved away
And none of her friends would come to play
And finally Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
Said "Okay, I'll take the garbage out"
Then of course it was too late
The garbage reached across the state
From New York to the Golden Gate
And there in the garbage she did hate
Poor Sarah met an awful fate
That I cannot right now relate
Because the hour is much to late
The children remember Sarah Stout
And always take the yummy garbage out
I'm glad you're home
I bet you really missed me
I guess you did by the look in your eye
Lay back and relax
I put away the dishes
Then you and me can rock-a-bye
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
The night is young
And full of possibilities
Come on and let yourself be yourself
My love for you so long I've been saving
Tonight was made for me and you
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
Anything you like
Come on, yeah
I'm getting over my four-leaf clover
There was a time, I said to you
There was a time, I said to you
When I'm with him, do it to you
Do it to you, do it, you know
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
Turning back ten thousand years
It's all a blur
Where the taxis go
Monster man, a willing friend
Lucy serves the melon cold
Violent and delicious souls
Four red trucks dressed illegally
Mother knows
How the bugle blows
Gonna get caught in her rug, babe
This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been
Boats made out of paper float
Dreams made up
For the banana king, darling
Crumbs you have lapped freely
Oh, devious we all have been
Violent and delicious souls
This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been
Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator
Gotta a little red light
That tells you, boy
Where the razor's been
You said, girl if you think
You can turn that violator
You'll finally be that woman, yes
Finally be that woman
That's been frozen in the pretty silver girl
Yes
And I've never seen blue
Like the blue she drives
In and around
And through me again
I said I've never seen eyes
Like the blue she drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again
Some boy you are
To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
And wear it like a lady
Knows how to cross her legs
Where the birdy's been
I've never seen blue
Like the blue she drives
In and around
And though me again
Said i've never seen eyes
Like the blue she drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again
Said now that I am
Say goodbye to those left
Say...
Coughing from the smoke of a black roof chimney
Marching to the beat of a hot roof o'er me
Hey, ho, here we go
We're off to work again
Bells are ringing
We are singing
Joyous in our industry
I love my job
He loves his job

Some people sing about Deutsche girls
and girls from California
they might be alright for a night alright
but I don't trust them I warn ya
I've been to the east and I've been out west
and I've been the world around
but I ain't seen no one anywhere near
a girl from London town
Give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
Marry a girl from London town
you know that you can trust her
she'll darn your socks
and wash you everytime your trousers won't bust 'em yes
they're all good cooks
and they've got good looks
and they won't lead you down
said I gotta find a London Girl
if I ever get to have a chance
Oh give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
London Girls are the best in the world
there ain't no doubt about it
If you can't find a girl from La-London town
you're better off doin' without it
they don't [create] when you come home late
and you're crawlin' up the passage floor
they won't mock about you
when you're going out with
the geezer from the house next door
give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
I said honey give me a London Girl babe
every little day
your legs turn to jelly
and I got a little smelly
but I know it's just what I want
cause I need a London Girl, oh, every time
they've always got a pound
to buy their round
when it's their turn at the bar
If the sun refused to shine
I don't how
I don't mind
If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be
It ain't me
Got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you
If a 6 turned out to be 9
I don't know how
I don't mind
If the hippies cut off their hair
I don't care
I don't care
I've got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you
If the sun refused to shine...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...?
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire
Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running
Through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire
I was a fool to say the things I said
I just lost my head
Made you cry, made you go
I didn't mean to be so cold
I had no right mistreating you that way
And oh, how could I know the price I'd pay
Sorry I ever caused you pain
Sorry I, sorry I said those hurtful things
But baby, all that really matters now is
I wanna get back with you
(Just give me one more try)
I wanna get back with you
(Just stop this hurt inside)
I gotta get back with you
I been walking down these cold and lonely streets
I been losing sleep
Had to prove I was strong
But every night, every night just proved me wrong
Had to think I had heaven right here in my hand
And oh, just let it slip away like sand
Oh, gimme one chance to make it right
One more chance, one more chance back in your light
'Cause baby, all that really matters now is
I wanna get back with you
(Hold me just like before)
I wanna get back with you
(Taking me somewhere warm)
I gotta get back with you
Baby, I'd give my soul
Just to hold one more time
Just to look in your eyes
'Cause right now I'm half alive
No matter what I do
There's no living without you
Can't you see, baby
I wanna get back with you
(Just give me one more try)
I wanna get back with you
(Just stop this hurt inside)
I gotta get back with you
(Hold me just like before)
(Taking me somewhere warm)
I wanna get back with you, babe
I wanna get back with you, baby
I wanna get back!
I gotta get back with you!
Oh, take me back!
When you said you'd marry me
I thought you meant you'd wanted too
Then I thought you'd like to
Maybe on a Tuesday
All the dead are coming
I heard they'll be dressing
Something kind of maggoty
Rolling with a-froppity
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty dumpty had a great big fall
All the kings horses
And all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Humpty dumpty and Betty Louise
Stole a Sony and some Camembert cheese
She said "Humpty baby, take me
Oooh, yeah, take me to the river
'Cause I like the way it runs, yeah,
Take me to the river
You know I like the way it runs, yeah"
He said
"Everything's going my way"
He said
"Maybe it's my lucky day"
And he said
"Anything you want
I can give"
She said, "I wanna take your picture
Just for me"
He said, "Anything"
She said, "Up there, baby
Get on the wall babe"
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
And looked at her as he was falling
And all the kings horses
And all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Hey, Betty Louise
Hey, Betty Louise
She said, "I like
Custard in the summer, honey
Oh yeah, what it takes to be queen
Hey, what it takes to be queen
What it takes to be...oh"
Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day
Well Jackson made deals
A thief down to his heels
Had a long trail of tears
The Smokies could hide
A Cherokee bride
Her brave was shot yesterday
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day
Mmm, we know it's not Caroline
Your home is your home
The range may be fine
For some but not in my eyes
Home on the range
The Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride
But in their eyes
We know it's not Caroline
Yes, yes, America
Hey, America
Who discovered your ass?
The white man came
"This land is my land
This is your land" they sang
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Poppa I know
There's a frog on my toe
Maybe I'll call him Jethro
Maybe I'll grow up to be
As wise and as good as he
And maybe I'll come back
After you're long gone
Poppa I'm sure
The worms have eaten you now
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate
Long ago
Now I'm pretty sure
That I listen to every word
'Cause you're still here
Telling me still
Slap them boys when they're naughty
Make them crawl, make you haughty
Make you strong, little girl
You paint them toes the reddish colour
And you know one day
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
You're gonna be bigger than that old
Poison ivy tree
Now I'm pretty sure
That I think you'd come and visit
And talk sometimes
Kind of like Gidget and
A funny little chance
Like an Indian Brave
He said "We all grew fat
When the white man came"
But one day girl
You're gonna learn to make them crawl
Make them grow tall
But have the grace
To be a lady with disgrace
And you fry them 'taters
And you make them with ladies hands
I know you're my pappy's baby
Hey kid
I've got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic book tattoo
And you'll never be anything
"What will you do with your life"
Oh, that's all you hear
From noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Duchman
Are you out there?
Flying Duchman
Are you out there?
Flying Duchman
Straight suits
They don't understand
She tried that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast
When she left
Even the milky way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Duchman
Are you out there?
Flying Duchman
Are you out there?
Flying Duchman
'Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me
They can't be what they can't believe
They can't see what you see
Keep the boys spinning
In their own little world
Time up and so we won't say a word
They keep the boys spinning
In their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Duchman
Are you out there?
Flying Duchman
Are you out there?
Flying Duchman
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
'Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
you're living for nothing now
I hope you're keeping some kind of a record
Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
did you ever go clear?
the last time I saw you, you looked so much older
your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
you'd been to the station to meet every train
you came home alone without Lili Marlene.
and you treated my woman to flake of your life
and when she came back she was nobody's wife
well, I see you there with a rose in your teeth
one more thin gypsy thief
well, I see Jane's awake
she sends her regards.
and what can I tell you my brother, my killer
what can I possibly say
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
if you ever come by here for Jane or for me
well, your enemy is sleeping and your woman is free
yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
and Jane came by with a lock of you hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
sincerely, L. Cohen
Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'
Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin'
No time left, no-no
To pass the time of day
The people turned away
The people turned away
Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin'
Oh yeah
The people turned away
Yes, the people turned away
Can you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
Some twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Yes it is, yes it is
Yes it is
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature
And she will come back again
Yes she will
The people turned away
The people turned away
In the mornin' you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire 'till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street
Let's go
Well you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two-timer
And you're sure you're at the end
Then you love a little wild one
But she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
You go back, Jack
You go back
Do it again
Wheel's turnin' round and round
You go back, Jack
Do it again
Now your swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gambling man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards will make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table
You go back, Jack
Do it again
Wheel turning round and round
You go back, Jack
Do it again
Back you go
Come on to me
Wheel turning round
Beautifully
Wheel turning round
Daisy dead petals
That is her name
She's in her phone booth phase, so
Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
She can turn it out
With a heal on
She just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing they're around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
Daisy dead petals
That is her name
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well
These dead petals, honey
Brought me here
She said
These dead petals, honey
Brought me here
Dancing on a dime
Hearing mother cry
Maybe she's around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
On my back with
On my back with some dirty dishes
Falling down, falling down
All over the river
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
Wish what I'm feeling
Could go on like this forever
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
And since we're down
Might as well stay
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
She's a new friend
Not a skeleton
To ride into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid, but
These dead petals, honey
Brought me here
She said
These dead petals, honey
Brought me here
Maybe I didn't like to hear
But I still can't believe
Speed Racer is dead
So then I thought I'd make some plans
The fire thought
She'd really rather be water instead
And Piggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I've heard every word
That she was saying
And I know I have been
Driven like the snow
This is cooling
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can
So then I tried to make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water
Instead
This ocean is wrapped around that pineapple
Tree
And is your place in heaven Worth giving up
These kisses
These kisses
And Piggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I heard every word that she had said
And I know I have been
Driven like the snow
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can
Yes, this is cooling
This is cooling
Stinky soul
Get a little lost in my own
Hey General
Need a little love in that hole of yours
So one ways now and Saturdays now
And our kittens all wrapped in cement
From cradle to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as I can
And is it right, Butterfly,
They like you better framed and dried
Daddy, dear
If I can kill one man
Why not two?
Well, nurses smile
When you've got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes
And pompoms and cherry blondes
And the kittens still wrapped in cement
From God's saviours to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as I can
And is it right, Butterfly,
They like you better framed and dried
Got a pretty pretty garden
Pretty garden, yes
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
Do you know where she's gone
Gumdrops and Saturdays
Did Eric call by the way?
He knew, he knew
And he knew where the pillow goes
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Buttercups and fishing flies
The biggest, thickest ever sky
I know they know something
I know, ah!
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Little green men do O.K.
It's the fairie's revenge they say
Gumdrops and Saturdays
Did Eric call by the way?
Ride on, ride on
Friends of the black swan
Ride on, ride on
You know where she's gone
Ride on, ride on, ride on
Beulah Land
Got a wasted gun
Liberation man
Some you are
Sometimes
Got something in that saying
Beulah girl
You better hitch me up
Got some candy
And sweet saying
Give me religion
And a lobotomy
Beulah land
Beautiful home
Tell me when
I don't need you anymore
Said that somewhere
You're gonna get something
You're so
You're right in the middle
And then I'm you
Something is coming back again
I said
You
Maybe I don't wanna go
To where you're not
So
Beulah land
Gonna find me a warm
Place to bathe
This body on down
Got a rubber boat
And a crocodile
Gonna float on past your home
And say when
Just say when
Just say when
It's so nice to live here
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
It's someplace to call my own
It's all kinds of people
Familiar places, smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian
But the 'Birds' are the best
The best of Baltimore
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
I've got Oriole Baseball on my mind
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
To enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore
The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
In a working American city
With all the people who make it that way
It's time to jump in a taxi
For Thirty-third Street
Knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go,
Watching Weaver's Show
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
I've got Oriole Baseball on my mind
On my mind in Baltimore
bachelorette
you climb on rooftops and you
bachelorette
you can turn dust into champagne
you even dream about his name
bachelorette
the graves are painted painful
bachelorette
you tried to show him that you can
but you can never rush a man
you must remember
you're a car girl you're a star girl
you are at the door
the tide will turn
there's a window
there's a window
yeah, you climb on rooftops and you
you tried to show him that you can
but you can never rush a man
yeah, no, say, bachelorette
the things you do girls to your bachelorettes
you thought that

oh, just bachelorette
you climb on rooftops and you
bachelorette
you can turn dust into champagne
you even
Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as the northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cotton coaster
In the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
In my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him
But be prepared to bleed"
My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
A winter's carol
First song of the robin
A winter's carol
I go through the land
And I can hear it
Ringing out
Ringing out
From pine to oak
Bringing out with the December snow
Ringing out
A gift of old
Wrapped in ribbons of gold
For the whole world
For the whole world
The summer queen
has been in darkness
The summer queen
has been in darkness
the summer queen
surrenders to this
To him she reveals
the secrets
To him she reveals
the Wine Ham secrets
for a time
rejoice
Fire and frosted marriage
Through a midwinter clearing
a forest greets the snowy evening
Year after year, the holly king
passes the torch as it was intended
through a midwinter clearing
a final kiss and a new beginning
kiss on queen wearing his wreath
soon with the sun she will reascend
through a midwinter clearing
the forest greets a snowy evening
with wands of yew, the holly king
passes the torch as it was intended
passes the torch as it was intended
A winter's carol
the song of the robin
the sun is reborn
from the starry heavens
A winter's carol
echoes the sound of wonder
and I can hear it
ringing out
Ringing out,
From pine to oak
Bringing out, with the December snow
Ringing out
A gift of old
Wrapped in ribbons of gold
For the whole world
For the whole world
For the whole world
Ringing out,
winter's carol
Ringing out,
winter's carol
Ringing out,
winter's
What child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This is winter's gift
This is what begins
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
What child is this who, now awakes
In every heart, each morning
From dazzling light, through silver sky
Bring peace now from creation
This is winter's gift
This is what begins
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new
Born this day a new Nowell
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell.
We three kings are coming again
Bearing gifts from the East
From the East
Some say a star will rise again
In the hearts of humankind
Some say we have been in exile
What we need is solar fire
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
A star of wonder
We bring gold and myrrh for him
From the East, frankincense
From the East
Some say a star will rise again
In the hearts of humankind
Some say we have been in exile
What we need is solar fire
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
A star of wonder
Of wonder.
When the bell brought in Midwinter
I waited for a sign
A shadow, of a wing
This has always been
The children know this,
That she will come to them
To them
To them
Snow Angel, Snow Angel, Snow Angel
She'll make her way
And she'll stay
For a Time, For a time
In the dark of this Midwinter,
The moon slipped from night
A shadow, of a wing
This has always been
The Children know this...
And she'll stay, for a time
And it's time
Dawn Roses, that is what you call
All the girls in the world
Even the thorns
You're surrounded by an army of two
Who adore you.
Our joy isn't about a present
Or a grown-up .....?
Little boys are getting an honourable mention from me
But this year I'm thinking
Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world with pink if you please
Shower the world
Shower the world
Black satin is what I wore
That, and our hearts left on the floor
How was I in that marshmallow snow
To know my life would change that night
Our joy isn't about a present
Or a grown-up .... ?
Little boys are getting an honourable mention from me
But this year I'm thinking
Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world with pink if you please
Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world in pink
We will paint the town
Champagne never looked so divine
On his lips the sweetest words:
'Love, you've given me quite a ride'.
Glasses raised we all say cheers
Could this be the one
Our new year
Even after all this time
I don't know why
Why you went away
Lately Im sure it's
You there waving
In the distance
Closer
The closer I get
Disappointment
It is, yes it is
They just have the same color of your hair
You're not there
You're not there
Every corner that I turn
I've convinced myself
One day you'll be there
Choruses of Auld Lang Syne
Could this be the year
Yours and mine
Lately Im sure it's
You there waving
In the distance
Closer
The closer I get
Disappointment
It is, yes it is
They just have the same color of your hair
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
You're not there
Glasses raised we all say cheers
Could this be the one
This could be the one
Could this be the one
Our new year
Bring your torches
Bring your torches
With every candle raised
With every lantern (fly?)
Light after light in every village
Welcoming home every friend
Bring your torches
Bring your torches
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Christ is born, O come behold Him,
Mary calls us to adore Him
Hush, hush! Such a lovely mother
Hush, hush! Such a lovely son
Bring your torches
Bring your torches
Wish every light will find its way
This is what every mother prays
Night after night
The lights, they will guide you
Welcoming home every friend
Bring your torches
Bring your torches
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Through the door we softly (pile in?)
To his manger bed we creep
Torches glow, the Babe discloses
Fairest snow with cheeks like roses
Hush, hush! Hush-a-by sweetly smiling
Hush, hush! Hush-a-by fast asleep
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
By ancient sibyls sung
A rose doth bear a flower
All in the cold midwinter
And at the midnight hour
And he waits for who to find
The heart she left behind
And he prays she'll find her way
To be his bride someday
Ivy
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly wants/woos the Rose
Holly and the Ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly bears the crown
Holly and the Ivy
The running of the deer
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year
He waits for who to find
The heart she left behind
He prays she'll find her way
To be his bride someday
Ivy
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly wants/woos the Rose
Holly and the Ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly bears the crown
The holly and the Ivy
The running of the deer
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year
Waits every year
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
The frozen air perfuming
That tiny bloom doth swell
Its rays the night illuming
The darkness quite dispel
O flower beyond compare
Bloom in our heart's midwinter
Restore the springtime here.

I'll show you how it's done
You'll smile through the pain
Sweetly singing
Over the plain
Gloria
Gloria
In excelsis deo
They'll show us how it's done
Out in the street
No, they don't have much
Oh, but listen to them sing
Gloria

In excelsis deo
Gloria
Gloria
Playing on their harps of gold
And the mountains in reply
Echo, echo, echo
And the mountains in reply
Echo, echo, echo
Gloria

Playing on their harps of
Playing on their harps of gold
Over the plain.
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Long ago the earth lay sleeping
Waiting for the darkest night
To bring with it the dove of peace
Rising on the wings
Wings of the sun
Rising on the wings of the sun
O come, O come, thou Dayspring bright!
Pour on our souls thy healing light
Dispel the long night's lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tomb
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

The radio plays my holiday faves
It takes me back to when our love was new
Young lovers pass me by with their glow
That used to be us not so long ago
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you
Joy to the world, your arms kept me warm
Night after night, in such a cold world
Hear the bell strike, old pictures instead
Tell me the past is filling my head
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you
The radio plays my holiday faves
It takes me back to when our love was new
Lost in my daze, you slip past and say
"Girl, take my hand, see, nothing has changed
Now or then
I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you
All is calm
All is bright.
Starling you were right I am the jealous kind
whoever would have guessed
Starling now I am shut out and confined
even within my nest
what, what does it take to make it through another day?
if a feather lined with his words becomes a blade
Starling when he screams he screams in black and white
just like the magpie
shattered night then I woke
not to a lonely lark but to a raven's cry
if a feather lined with his words becomes a blade
then what, what will it take to make it through another day?
so when they play, play the song
sing along
it could be your turn to shine
if you know the lines
hey what's that you say
"You can find, find him on line
most of the time these days"
"Is that right," I say.
Ophelia your secret is safe
Ophelia you must break the chain
some girls will get their way
some fathers will control from the grave
Ophelia you must remember
Veronica's America is not like--
is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
cosmic flavor
then Alison whispers, "remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
waiting for you to send her away
wish her well break the chain
break the chain"
I feel you
Ophelia
"The Eve of St. Agnes",
a poem he can't reach you in
Ophelia you know how to lose
but when will you learn to choose
those men who choose to stay
those mothers who won't look the other way
Ophelia you must remember
Veronica's America is not like---
is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
cosmic flavor
then Alison whispers," remember
Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
waiting for you to send her away
wish her well break the chain
break the chain"
I feel you
How can I be drunk?
You strike with dry poison
I am possessed
Still engaged in some kind of advanced shackling
Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Bad Medicine
Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Good Medicine would say -
You got you a fast horse darlin'
But all you do is complain it ain't a Maserati.
You had a soul that you left back in Memphis
but your mama ain't New York she is pure
Tennessee
On a desert High-way
I am struck by my own rage
Time-bomb in his palm a finger-apple
augments this advanced shackling
Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Bad Medicine
Girl you got to find you the man who
can smoke this out, Good Medicine would say -
You got you a fast horse darlin'
but all you do is complain it ain't a Maserati.
You had a soul that you left back in Memphis
but your mama ain't New York she is pure
can't you see your mama ain't New York
she is pure Tennessee
To you it's another day
to me it's a grim reaping
just another shooting star
strung out on your wire
prick my finger
on his virgin silver
he took me raw, Ginger -
it carmelized me
Tombigbee, Tombigbee
help me hang these bones
gotta hang these bones out to dry
he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low
gonna hang these bones out to dry
dry, dry, dry
oh, you do it, man
Got a blackberry stain
and they're not even in season
if you're not yet a woman
you got no business playing at this
Tombigbee, Tombigbee
help me hang these bones
gotta hang these bones out to dry
he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low
gonna hang these bones out to dry
dry, dry, dry
oh, you do it, man
so you get done
then you get some
sure enough, it won't hold you for long
then you say "right.
this is all mine"
but hasn't your donor card expired
from Blueridge to Cattail
on the prairie
from fly over country
back through Mississippi
I said go, man you go
well you raise me twenty
I'm raising you five
hundred treaties signed by your father's lies
just go man, you go
cause I'm trailing her tears
the ones you won't hold
you roll me a carpet
roll me a carpet, boy
roll me a carpet from here to Oklahoma
Tombigbee, Tombigbee
help me hang this bone
gotta hang these bones out to dry
he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low
gonna hang these bones out to dry
to dry, dry, dry
I'll do again
dry, dry, dry
