See a black Eldorado
Oh, rolling along down below my window
That black girl in the back looks pretty good
Christ! She's beautiful
You know how soft she is
Just what you feel like
Oh, I'm so far away from her
Jesus this is Iggy
You, you might as well come with me,
When you ride the ride
There's talk and I don't wanna talk
Oh mamma, I shot myself down
They're stepping on our hearts
Stepping on our hearts
I don't know why they're stepping on our hearts
Damn, I don't know why
Stepping on our hearts
Can't you see, oh no, Stepping on our hearts
How come the blacks, how come they copy you so good?
They get off on you, so ?
If you wanna make it
Young man you gotta make somebody come
Come out of your black
and strong
Black! Strong! Black!
Jesus it's cold in this room, it's really cold
You know I never told you about this, but there's one guy
Somebody I really love, he's never around
Well he was taking things that could be alright, that could be nice
And make him ugly, so damn ugly
And we put out the lights on them
Yeah, we'd make it dark, we put out the lights....on them
It's idiots like you that screw me up
I know there's nothing to you
And I don't know why I treat you so kind
Come down and dance with me, dance with me
You got nobody left but me
Oh accept me, don't reject me, don't forget me
Mamma, what colour will the lights be? Will they turn blue on me?
Mamma, I shot myself up, woh mamma, I shot myself up, up, up, mamma
Up down, up down mamma
Oh oh oh oh oh mamma
I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't mean to, but I did it, I shot myself up
I made love to a superbabe
I kinda wondered how I did
It may be pointless to describe her
But she has the power of gravity
She used a voodoo force on me
Big tits high ass
Long legs flat stomach
Helped her cover all my dreams with sleep
She's using mojo energy
Snake hips full lips
Strong things green eyes
Superbabe
White teeth fresh meat
Just like the TV
Superbabe
She's got the wild stuff
Makes love for good luck
Superbabe
Dont miss with her kiss
Won't duck from a woaaaw
Superbabe
Superbabe
I made love to a superbabe
So tell me what else could I do
Untill I couldn't do no more
Or even know what for
Forever and a day
I'm gonna jump on superbabe
Fame, drugs and money cannot save me
And evils everywhere
But here comes superbabe
She's USA prime all the way
One two three four
Who the fuck are we for
Superbabe
Five six seven eight
I can relate superbabe
Don't miss with her kiss
Won't duck from a woaaaw
Superbabe
She's got the wild stuff
Makes love for good luck
Superbabe
Superbabe
Superbabe
Fame, drugs and money cannot save me
Superbabe
Superbabe
It may be pointless to describe her
Superbabe
Superbabe
Stars in the sky
I like them better than you
Stars in the sky
They tell me what to do
I don't care about your city
Or your fat income
I don't care about your Vanity Fair
Or your fucking sitcom
Starry night
Starry night
That starry night
Makes me feel alright
I heard a lotta mean talkin'
I met a lotta tough guys-they all look
Pretty ugly under the stars
Go out to the desert
And just look up
You can feel yourself
Under the stars
All man's buildings
Will soon be gone
'Cause something here
Is absolutely wrong
Starry night
Starry night
That starry night
Makes me feel alright
Like a human being
Take your building and your income and
Shove it up your ass-
Take your building and your income and stuff
It with your cash-
I heard a lotta big talk-met a lotta tough guys-
That shit looks ugly under a starry night-
Which country is the strongest?
Who plays the best guitar?
Who fucking cares

A bird's wing don't beat for free

All my life I've been polite but
I'm afraid it's ?
I'm a man I know what I want
Gonna take some nerve to get it
When you feel alone and damned
Like you're living in your hell
You want power, you want freedom
I wanna tell that girl my story
Cause baby you might like my story
When you feel all cut off
And nobody gives you talk
You want power, you want freedom
The loneliness will craze you
Nobody cool will save you
And the system's built to waste you
You want power, freedom
One by one the lives turn over
If you don't jump your life is over
Guess now all that matters
When your spirit's getting flattened
You need power, freedom
The lineliness will craze you
And no one cool will save you
And the system wants to slave you
You want power, freedom
When you feel alone and damned
Like you're living in your hell
When you're feeling all cut off
Nobody gives you talk
And no one cool will save you
The system's built to waste you
The loneliness will craze you
Plastic & concrete, baby
these are the facts of life
i 'm a nightmare child
stuck on my own knife
i' m glad my mother loved me
i' m sick & paranoid
the hotel generater
hums into the void
of plastic & concrete
plastic & concrete, baby
i gotta learn to slow down
somethin new from chemistry

i have got the plastic
and i have got the stone
out there in the suburbs
i learned to be alone
in plastic & concrete
plastic & concrete sandwich
you 'd like to eat me, but
later you 'll reiect me
i' m too much to bite off
the salad on my outside
is made of suicide
the guy who squirts my mayonnaise
is on a one-way ride
in plastic & concrete
I got a secret you can live and learn
i got a secret you can live and learn
you don 't know me but i burn
you don 't know me but i burn
deep in your gut you know
the right way out
deep in your gut you know
not like those guys who mess around
not like thove guys who fake it, now
perforation problems not all right
hangin on a needle out of spite
perforation problems no one home
stumblin like a dirty slave
in anger
i got a worm down in my troubled soul
i got a worm down in my troubled soul
now i 'm all right but there's still holes
now i 'm all right but there's still holes
everytime i think it was my last
everytime i hoped it was my last
i watched my future become my past
i watched my future become my past

perforation problems
Penetrate, penetrate me, so fine, so fine, so fine
I get excited, I get excited, I'm alone, so fine, I'm alive
Every night in town, every night in town
I'm going down, I'm going down, pulsating
A beautiful enemy, a beautiful enemy
Take a lay, take away, get out
Come on and take me, come on and take me
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Saty down, stay down
I feel fine, every time, penetration
Penetration, penetration, penetration, penetration
It's party time and I smell slime
You stupid people make me evil
Dicks and asses, cocktail glasses
Parlor games, exchange of fluids
'Cause it's party time, it's party time
It's party time, I got the slime
Here's a brute, isn't he cute?
He needs a hole to bury his soul in
'Cause it's party time, it's party time
It's party time, I got the slime, I got the slime
Sally goes 'round the roses
Every night
Trying to find a warm place
To spend the night
She becomes a target
Soon as she rise
Somebody wants to cut her
Down to his size
It's a sad bad feeling
It's a sad bad feeling
It's a sad bad feeling
The feeling's in my bones
It won't leave me alone
I'm going out, outa my head, I'm going out, outta my head
I'm going out, outa my head, I'm going out, outta my head
Jimmy goes round the dumpsters every day
Trying to find a way ot
Some kind of way
He knows he's a target
Everyone is
Strangle that rock and roll star
Make him eat jizz
It's a sad bad feeling
It's a sad bad feeling
It's a sad bad feeling
The feeling's in my bones
It won't leave me alone
I'm going out, outa my head, I'm going out, outta my head
I'm sliding like a lizard on my belly and back
It's a miracle I haven't fallen through any cracks
The life on display is trouble for sure
The drugs that I took have made me impure
The neon forest is lighting up
The neon forest is lighting up
My brain
I've learned some nasty lessons so I'm shutting
My mouth
A fury in my gut is spinning me round
and round
To be a total phony is the winning design
When the fabric of life is a horny goldmine
The neon forest is my home
And like a cartoon cat I roam
Where only kids are still alive
And anyway they're gonna fry
My brain
You can get a weird prize for being adored
You can join the "in crowd" for being a whore
Although you are lonely you wish for a fence
America takes drugs in psychic defense
You can say what you want but nobody's there
Have you got any money?
My baby wants to rock and roll
She likes pictures and thoughts control
she's shoppin' wild and she's comin' down
Superman couldn't turn her around
she wants ta rock rock rock
Rock rock and roll
Rock it on down till she cures her soul
She wants ta rock her way right outta the hole
She wants to rock and rock and roll
She wants information and she wants it raw
She don't believe the way they lay things out
She's gotta try it till she's too fucked up
I was the same way once myself
I hadda rock...
Goin' down those empty streets
You know what other guy's got all the money
He doesn't deserve it-screw him-rock and roll
Car crash on the grey highway
Bodies murmur under blankets
The party's in full swing
The boys are high and ready for fucking new blood
Boddies are needed constantly
Escapees from all history
Voyagers in tehe animal state-whoops!-
Here come the assholes they can smell the money-
The meanest little bitch in 13 states-
She's what God creates-
...Rock and roll...
Nobody knows if she'll live or die
He wishes he was the cute one
But he's just the big one
He needs to rock and roll

Her skin is copper and her voice is Spanish red
Her vibe is golden 'till her anger kills it dead
She wants the world to see
A body rich in harmony
A mouth cruel as death
She rides a fantasy she hasn't tested yet
She looks in every mirror to check her silhouette
The turning heads
The honking horns
Gave proof to her
Since she was born
That love is her game
She loves me, Miss Argentina
Though she hides behind her smile
She runs free, Miss Argentina
Dripping blood
With lots of style
She loves to stay in bed and watch the movies play
She wants a husband who will worship and obey
The moods that she enjoys like children's' games and football toys
She laughs without shame
She likes the military and the Rolling Stones
Her little brother has a T-shirt from Ramones
She's shy and sensitive and doesn't know the tougher games
But boy can she love
She's easy, Miss Argentina
A masterpiece without a frame
She runs free, Miss Argentina
But Venus is a dangerous game
She saves my spirit with a humanistic light
She's greedy, lazy and impossible to like
She dresses sexually
And she's afraid of many things
Like being alone
She's back with mother now
She's over twenty-five
I tried to keep her, but she buried me alive
In love and birth and jealousy
And every emotion totally freed
Screaming at once
But she loves me, Miss Argentina
While she hides behind her smile
She runs free, Miss Argentina
Dripping blood with lots of style
She's lovely, Miss Argentina
A masterpiece without a frame
She's easy, Miss Argentina
I don't want to throw away my time
Playing games I don't respect or like
I can't give away my sovereignty
To existence with no song of me
And the hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
I built myself a beautiful brick wall
Gets a little higher every day
? ignorance inhabits me
Cause I've already chased my love away
And the hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
Take that happy banner off the wall
I don't need to see no smiling face
All I really want's a cup of tea
To feel a warmth inside of me
And the hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
I'm low
There's a hole in my heart
I'm lowdown
There's a hole in my heart
Oh, je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux ou nous etions amis
En ce temps-la la vie etait plus belle
Et le soleil plus brulant qu'aujourd'hui
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent a la pelle
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublie
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent a la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublie
La chanson que tu me chantais
C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble
Toi, tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Et nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants desunis
You didn't mean to do it
but you did it again
The night started out
Fuckin around with your friends
Somebody screamed and things went bad
Now you're standing accused
And the prosecutor says you should be dead
And they're frying' up your hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
Fryin' up your hair
In that little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Easy street is nice in a lawless nation
The police put some flyers in circulation
Stuck one in my door with a scary mugshot
They're looking for some bad boys
Height, weight, age, race, tattoos too
And they're fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
They'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
They'll be fryin' up your hair
in the little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
The people are quietly hustling for blood
they wanna live in peace
but they don't wanna budge
from their lazy ways and lazy nations
let em eat pigeon
and live in prison
And they'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
they'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
they'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
they'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowl
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowl
Fuck it
I feel like howling
Got nowhere to turn
They’ll kill you
For your spirit
This is what you learn
The music of tomorrow is
What you feel today
The owners of the future
Is not the one they say
A mountain of faces
Is rapin’ my ear
I’m glad that my pride is
Stronger than my fear
I’m howling, baby
I’m howling, baby
Howling, baby
I knew the producer
He’s got lots of tricks
He is the starmaker
The bands are little pricks
The music of tomorrow is
What you feel today
The owners of the future
Is not the one they say
A mountain of faces
Is rapin’ my ear
I’m glad that my pride is
Stronger than my fear
I’m howling, baby
I’m howling, baby
I’m howling, baby
I’m howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
I walk around
I flop uround
I need something that will be found
More venom, more dynamite, more disaster
I need more than I ever did before
But everything is going up in price
My life is going all right up 'til now
Even so there's something missing
More truth
More intelligence
Ha ha
More future
More laugh
More culture
Don't forget adrenaline
More freedom
I need more than an ordinary grind
And the more I think the more I need
More tars
I'll take more money
More champagne
I can't forget my brain
More floors
More doors
More mustard
Pickle and relish
I need more than an ordinary grind
Everybody ought to love his job
And live his life and keep his pride
Imperturbably happy with the one you love
With an exciting future
On the fat of the land
I need more than an ordinary grind
And the more I think the more I need
My life is going all right up 'til now
Even so it's not enough for me and
I need more
I need more
I need more
Oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo
Than I ever did before
I need to lead a dissipate existence
And play scratchy records
And enjoy my decline
With more divorce records, more distance,
More future, more culture
How insensitive I must have seemed
When you told me that you loved me
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
When you told me so sincerely
Why you might have asked
Did I just turn and stare away in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can you do when a love affair is over?
Now I'm alone
And I see all the heartache in your last look
Vague and drawn and sad I see it still
All the memory of that last look
Why you might have asked
Did I just turn and went in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can you do when a love affair is over?
And now...the news :
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
The Communist world is fallin' apart
The capitalists are just breakin' hearts
Money is the reason to be
It makes me just wanna sing Louie Louie
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
A fine little girl is waitin' for me
But I'm as bent as Dostoevsky
I think about the meaning of my life again
And I have to sing Louie Louie again
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Let's give it to 'em right now
Oh man, I dunno like ...health insurance &
The homeless & world peace
& AIDS & education ... I'm tryin' to do right
But ... hey
Life after Bush & Gorbachev
The wall is down but something is lost
Turn on the news it looks like a movie
It makes me wanna sing Louie Louie
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Let's go
I was lying in a coma
By the side of some damn road
My fucking heart was pounding
Like I thought it would explode
I had no protection
No family
No friends
I had nothing really
But a will to make this end
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
I'm so fucked'up
It isn't very nice
What I do to make end's meet
It isn't very pretty when you hate
The folks you meet
It's a shame to feel hurt and angry everyday
It's a shame to take it out
On whoever's in the way
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Man I'm so fucked'up

I'm fucked'up
I'm fucked'up
I'm fucked'up
Man I'm so fucked'up
Poor little girl
I hurt her really bad
I haven't been the same since I lost my mom and dad
Where is the justice ?
Well I really don't know
When everybody is singing
Like a fucking so and so
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up
Yeah I'm so fucked'up
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
They took away my freedom
They took away my games
They took away my innocence
And gave me shitty fame
There's nothing left to stop me
There's nothing left to feel
There's nothing left inside me
But a low down dirty deal
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up baby
Go for the throat
I'm fucked'up baby
I'm so fucked'up baby
I'm so fucked'up
Oh I'm fucked'up

Oh I'm fucked'up
Go for the throat
hey baby we like your lips
hey baby we like your pants
all aboard for funtime
Hey, I feel lucky tonight
I'm gonna get stoned and run around
All aboard for funtime
Last night I was down in the lab
Talkin' to Dracula and his crew
All aboard for funtime
I don't need no heavy trips
I just do what I want to do
All aboard for funtime
Baby baby we like your lips
Baby baby we like your pants
All aboard for funtime
Everybody we want in
We want some we want some
All aboard for funtime
Baby baby we like your lips
Baby baby we like your pants
Yeah, I like it
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
I'm only five foot one
I got a pain in my neck
I'm looking up in the city
What the hell what the heck
I stare at the concrete
The girders eye high
The steel's above me
There's love in my eyes
And I'm doing the things
A five foot one man can do
I'm only five foot one
I got a pain in my heart
All the night I'm working
In the amusement park
With a bottle of aspirin
A sack full of jokes
I wish I could go home
With all the big folks
And I wish life could be
Swedish magazines
I wish life could be
Swedish magazines
I wish life could be
Anything
Ugh! Aie! Aie! Aie!
Ugh!
I'm only five foot one
Unless the time has come
I won't grow anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
'Till I'm losing my head
I'm checkin' it twice
I'm gonna find out who's naughty and nice
And I'm doing the things a five foot one man can do
I wish life could be Swedish magazines (x3)
I wish life could be
Yeah, I wish life could be
Oooooooooohhh
I wish life could be
I wish life could be Swedish magazines
I wish life could be Swedish magazines
I wish life could be
I won't grow anymore (x3)
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
I'm only five foot one (x3)
I'm five foot one
Death is the best
Better than all the rest
On the dutiful lies in the rock paradise
Losses and wear and the texture of age
Adds a truth to the heart
And a light to the face
It’s good when you don’t give as
Much of a fuck
As you did when the threats mount
To make you suck
A burst of rage
A lively cry
Emotions wide
Your death is certain for sure
My death is certain alright
But death is certain no cure
‘Cause death is certain
‘Cause death is certain so why ?
Gotta diiiiiiiiie
A bone and a skull
In a conjugal hell
A mall full of gall
And the music jerks off
Pale and fate
At the table they sat
With their necks choking tight
In their collars dead white
Liquor and food ‘till
They spin and explode
In a shower of crap
In America’s lap
A pliceman’s numb
A lazy bum
Emotions come
‘Cause death is certain it’s sure
‘Cause death is certain it’s pure
‘Cause death is certain no cure
‘Cause death is certain
‘Cause death is certain that’s why
Gotta die
Alright
Alright
Well, alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
A beast with legs
A kid who’s numb
A lazy bum
Your death is certain it’s sure
‘Cause death is certain it’s pure
‘Cause death is certain no cure
‘Cause death is certain
I got my cock in my pocket
And I'm reelin
Down the old highway
I got my cock in my pocket
And I'm reelin
Down the old highway
I'm gonna whip it on you honey
Taste your blood today
I got my cock in my pocket
And it's shovin up
Through my pants
I got my cock in my pocket
And it's shovin up
Through my pants
I just wanna fuck
This aint no romance
Out of my mind on saturday night
1970 rollin’ in sight
Radio burnin’ up above
Beautiful baby, feed my love
All night till I blow away
All night till I blow away
I feel alright, I feel alright
Baby oh baby, burn my heart
Baby oh baby, burn my heart
Fall apart baby, fall apart
Baby oh baby, burn my heart
All night till I blow away
All night till I blow away
I feel alright
I feel alright
You took my arm and you broke my will
You made me shiver wiht a real thrill
You took my arm and we walked along
Down the road to a quiet song
I looked into your cool cool eyes
I felt so fine, I felt so fine
I floated in your swimming pools
I felt so weak, I felt so blue
Ann, my ann I love you ann
My ann I love you right now!
Ahh, yeah
Honey honey eh eh eh
Alright
And I always see you round somedays are you blind
I moved to ask her mama if she did the women stand in line
Sick boy sick boy going round remember who's in prayer
Baby wants to take you out with me
If I'm on my death, my death trip
If I'm on my death, if I'm on my death trip, ahh
I never knew you ever made once I care for you
Honey come and be my enemy so I can love you true
Sick boy sick boy baby now learning to be cruel
Baby with me in the heat turn me loose on you
Loose on you, honey loose on you
Honey loose on you, honey loose on you
All night all night loose on you all night all night loose on you
All night all night loose on you all night all night loose on you
Say I give you, you give me, honey we are going down in history
Say I give you, you give me, honey we are going down in history
Going down, going down, going down
Going down, going down, going down
Don't bite cool bite my lips
See me through on my death trip
You must sink, keep me same
Keep me, save me, everything
Save me save me save me save me save me
Save me save me save me save me save me
Save me save me save me save me save me
Save me save me save me save me save me

Say I bit you, you bit me

Woahhhh
Said shake appeal, move so fast on me
Shake appeal, move so fast to see
Move so fast, move so fast
Move little misery
I said shake appeal, feel so high and low
Shake appeal, feel so high and low
High and low baby high and low
Never really gotta go, never really gotta go
Never really gotta go, never really gotta go
Gotta go, never really gotta go, ah
Said shake appeal, baby fits so tight
Shake appeal, baby with your fits so tight
Fits so tight, fits so tight, realize you gotta fight
Realize you gotta fight, realize you gotta fight
Baby gotta have a fight
Gotta fight, baby realize you gotta fight
Hum hum hum shake appeal
Hum hum hum sex appeal
But I am your crazy driver
Honey I'm sure to steer you 'round
I am dying in any story
I'm only living and (when I) sing this song
(just the same, baby...)
I need somebody, baby
I need somebody, too
I need somebody, baby
Just like you
But I'm losing a lot of my feelings
And I'm running out of friends
You know you lied to me in the beginning
Tried to bring me to the end
I need somebody, baby
I need somebody, too
I need somebody, baby
Just like you
Well I was trying to leave this signal
In a fury an (it) is too strong
Yea I got my reputation
Write me anyway, not too long
I need somebody, baby
I need somebody, too
I need somebody, baby
Just like you
A howling wind is whistling in the night
My dog is growling in the dark
Something's pulling me outside
To ride around in circles
I know that you have got the time
Coz anything I want, you do
You'll take a ride through the strangers
Who don't understand how to feel
In the deathcar, we're alive
In the deathcar, we're alive
I'll let some air come in the window
Kind of wakes me up a little
I don't turn on the radio
Coz they play shit, like....You know
When your hand was down on my dick
It felt quite amazing
And now that, that is all over
All we've got is the silence
In the deathcar, we're alive
In the deathcar, we're alive
So come on mandolins, play
When I touched you
I felt that you still had your baby fat
And a little taste of baby's breath
Makes me forget about death
At your age you're still joking
It ain't time yet for the choking
So now we can see the movie and see each other truly
In the deathcar, we're alive
In the deathcar, we're alive
I want to hear some mandolins
Well, i 'll tell you
one good thing at least about some
of these junkies was
they had some character
they may have driven me nuts
someties & screwed up
but at least when they played
the damn guitar they' d play it
like they meant it -
these white bread boys nowadays
knowin' all the score,
It was in the winter of my fiftieth year
When it hit me
I was really alone
And there wasn't a hell a lot of time left
Every laugh and touch that I could get
Became more important
Strangely, I became more bookish
And my home and study meant more to me
As I considered the circumstances of my death
I wanted to find a balance between joy and dignity
On my way out
Above all, I didn't want to take any more shit
I took a poundin'
From the radio today
I heard the radio say some piece of shit
Was it the sound of today ?
I took a bitin' 'beating'
When I saw my TV play, I saw my TV play
Over and over
And there were no escape
The box is hallow
And that riff is fucking dead,
That riff is fucking dead,
But the riff is poundin'
In my fucking head
They're gonna push it
Untill false is true
Untill day is night
They're gonna push it baby
Untill wrong feels right
Untill wrong feels right
It's a big industry
And they can beat my brain
With houses and wars and chains
They are insane
Yeah
But they can beat my brain
God and his captains
They won't pull a fucking plug
They won't pull a fucking plug
And give the skies
The villagers are out tonight
Uptight and bored
They're pushing you underground
On wintry days they stand and gaze
Outlined in black and ignorant villagers
Dark shadows house a sleepy malice
In the back brain
Of every body you meet
Man is the village animal
United by the glue
Of our loathsome qualities
We are sneaking peeping toms
In revolt against each other
The villagers are most insane
They live to die anonymous
And muted to villagers
In revolt against the other but not against the rules
So in the space age the village idiot rules
On TV for all to see
As some good men walk the streets
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
The villagers you can't get lost you can't get lost
Needed you
you were only using
needed you
just tore me down.
Here I stand in isolation
feeling emtiness and doubt.
Walking down the broken highway
sucking sugar plain and sweet.
Did your mother ever tell you that the joyful are the free?
I need some lovin' like an inmate neecls a dime
I need some lovin' like a poet needs a rhyme.
Here I stand - in isolation.
My empty hands - in isolation.
Walking down the broken highway
sucking sugar 'cause it's my way.
Find me one heart to complete with
heading for the farthest reaches.
I need some lovin' like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin' like a fastball needs control.
Here I stand - in isolation
my empty hands - in isolation.
Strike up the band - in this proud land -
Got a lot to do
got a lot to say
got a life to live
Got a lot to do
got a lot to say
got a life to live.
She's gone
I froze her out
Move by move
First I didn't hold her hand
Then I didn't touch her in bed
Then I wasn't tender with her upsets
Then I just told her to go
And still, she didn't go
I had to push.
Now this place is peaceful as a grave
It's dead quiet without her
And her stupid t.v. shows
And young girl laughing
I was always ashamed she read Cosmopolitan
I should have been proud of her
What did she want that was so bad?
She just wanted to believe that someone would
Love her and look after her always
She called me Daddy
You gave me a present
The paper was blue and green
I unwrapped it with pleasure
These are the best shades I've ever seen
You can be my girlfriend
Forever and a day
I never thought I was worth much
Or that anyone would treat me this way
I'm not
The kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you
It makes me come in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades
I could have had a problem
I might have never followed through
The other guys are in trouble
They wouldn't listen to a girl like you
These shades say something
I'll bet they cost a lot
I hope I don't break 'em
I'm a Very Important Person
I park in the V.I.P
And when I go to the bathroom,
i go in the V.I.P toilet
And when I wanna change a lightbulb,
I don't do it myself... Oooohhh no...
I have a technician
Cause I'm a V.I.P
I'm a V.I.P
I'm a V.I.P
I'm a V.I.P
Now, as I began to become a V.I.P,
i forgot what i've become a V.I.P for
I began to grow accustomed to people saying
"Right this way sir... drinks are on the house..."
Flight attendants on airplanes saying:
"Please... Really, I don't wanna bother you sir, but it's such a pleasure to have you on board.
May I have your autograph for my daughter?"
"Yeah baby right after I go to the toilet
I i'll give you a couple of'em
Cause i'm a V.I.P!"
Now, one thing about V.I.P is, is they never seem to be alone
Ooohh no!
The "true" V.I.P must travel with an entourage!
People who say "Right on boss"
Cause it's a V.I.P!
Right on boss
I'm a V.I.P!
As i began to realise that i had gained V.I.P status,
worries began to creep in
What if one day, i woke up, and i was no longer a V.I.P?
No more good tables at the restaurants...
No more strange women smiling and approaching me on the streets...
No more top notch booty
No more entourage to say "Right boss"
I began to have nightmares
And in my nightmares, I was just a fucking nobody.
Laying at the beach, imagining myself being a VIP!
Just like i was before...
Hearing the applause in my head
Beautiful warm embraces of superior members of the female gender...
V.I.P
V.I.P
Of course, when one becomes a V.I.P,
One meets other V.I.Ps
At social occasions...
And one inevitably thinks:
"thck! How shallow and crass these people are!
They're not down to earth and real like me...
Oooohhh no! I'm a very special V.I.P"
Another interesting phenomenon, associated with V.I.P celebrityhood, is the "V.I.P reflection effect", during which anyone associated with the V.I.P, becomes a sort of V.I.P in their own right! Such as "son OF the V.I.P",
"guitar player FOR the V.I.P",
"girlfriend WITH the V.I.P",
"accountants of the V.I.P"
The maid, the dog, the music publisher ...huh!
All enjoy a sort of 'reflected glory', as in.
"Hi this is Nastea
I work for Iggy
And i'd like 6 tables tonight in the V.I.P section
And he needs passes for everyone
And free drinks of course
In the V.I.P area"
Right on boss
Cause i'm a V.I.P.
It's also true that when one is a V.I.P, everybody's happy to see you... All the time!
And there's an implicit rule that a V.I.P must never- never
Be on a barn.
Cause everybody expects YOU to make their day
And they're all be on to you if you're in a bad mood.
They will "thck! tchk! tchk! mur mur mur mur mur!",
And you will find yourself with the wrong kind of attention:
A "difficult" V.I.P.
Psychologists tell us that a sense of self-esteem
Is so necessary in today's world.
As a V.I.P, I can guarantee you, you'll never be alone.
You'll never be alone.
Look, here comes the jerk!
See the guy with the fakey smile,
Talkin' to my girl in a friendly style.
He thinks he's quite the flirt,
She'd suck a rats' dick before she'd fuck
Him his brain is full of dirt,
That's why the guy's a jerk,
His balls are gonna burst,
Thats why the guy's a jerk
Oh man you're killin' me!
Hey man your killin me!
He hangs out by the ladies room,
His pick up line is like the voice of doom.
"Hey baby do ya wanna go out with me,
and by the way I make a lotta money."
His method just don't work,
That's why the guy's a jerk.
By the office Johnny lurks,
That's why the guy's a jerk

His balls are gonna burst,
That's why the guy's a jerk
Oh man you're killin' me!
Tell me a story
What must I do to take a holiday
show me a bill that they can make me pay
tell me a story

Young and free

Lorna from my school she's 21
She's good looking and a married girl so

Young and hard
too tough to cry
Standing in a show

I'm taking like I find it
What did they do to chill the joy away
what did they do to say you had to pay

Tell me stories

i never saw you before
i never sound strained before
now i'm at your door
and i hope you're unusual
very unusual
now i'm at your door
and when you nicely ask me in
i'm staring at your shoes
and i don't wonder why
i feel like a horse
we can stray out on the open range
missing me every day with its hidden claws
spring snow
and when you brush me
brush me with your eyes
i think you've noticed that
i don't want to be a bad guy anymore
i never saw you before
but you're unusual
and now i'm at your door
i feel safe and warm
i feel
i feel
i feel
i feel
like a horse
ha ha ha ha
hey little girl you' re black and blue
hey little girl you 're six foot two
i know a man who loved too hard
he lost his mind it wasn' t hard
over this slckness
over this slckness
over this slckness
this slckness of love
cute little knees that you got
out in the dark parking lot
cute little voice whispering
i know a man lost everything
over this sickness
over this sickness
over this sickness
this sickness of love
hey little girl i' m almost through
hey little girl i' m almost you
hey little girl the river runs
hey little girl the rising sun
over this sickness
I'm sittin' like a stone
On a solitary evening
Without my girl
Life has no meaning
She didn't say why
And she didn't say what for
she just said "I've been thinking it over"
And whatever,
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever
The solution to love
I haven't found yet
Does God have curlers and a
Lairnet
Everything I say comes out
To be a no no
The feelings I had were the
Only promo
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever
Now I'm just one of the Joes
On the corner
I guess I ought to stay home
And watch the porno
I wanna get close
But no one
Will let me
I wish someone would react out
A and get me
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her face just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her touch just fades away
Whatever
Whatever
