Wipe it up

Oh! Oh!

Grease drools down from between your lips,
Drips down just like the grease on your fingertips.
Over and down the side of your mouth.
Pardon me man, if you mean it, pack up.

Wipe it up, wipe it up, wipe it up!
Leave me alone, I'm going home.
Wipe it up, wipe it up, wipe it up!
Leave me alone, I'm going home.

Did I ever ask you about your plans?
Did I say I wanted to know all about your favorite thing? Ooooo!
No, no. I threw my sweater on the floor.
You threw my lovin' out the door.

Wipe it up, wipe it up, wipe it up!
Wipe it up, wipe it up!
Leave me alone, you're a bonehead.

You've got big hair and a comely doo.
You never make a million dollars a year.
Say some more 'bout how you know it all.
And how the pretty pages will fall when you call.

Wipe it up, wipe it up, wipe it up!
Leave me alone, I'm going home.
Wipe it up!
Leave me alone, I'm going home.

Her

I went to her house, she had relics everywhere
From her line she said to him, things she couldn't share
Said that she had died before, i couldn't quite believe her
She always seem concerned about how i would percieve her

She held onto her memories
She had a fruited seed
She always seemed corruptible
Her house was always clean
She used to walk with confidence, style, down and empty street
Now she just walks quickly, staring at her feet.

Then I saw her yesterday
She still seemed really proud
Her eyes were red her brain was dead
She was talking really loud
She caught a look at me with the corner of her eye
I left town in a submarine
Before I made her cry

*** Thanx to Chris for doing this one and to Rekha who corrected some mistakes ***

Tom and Bob

Tom and bob, they are cool
Should open a tom and bob school
Because then everyone could learn the way?
To squeeze fun out of every day.

They put bandanas in their hair and they think in a way that's all too rare
At least from the parts where i come from
Which make tom and bob stick out like a silver thumb, like a silver thumb

Tom and bob they are good
I wish everyone could be so good
They are cool, but they aren't rich
They could be rich lived in a ditch

In a drean they came to me
Holding their arms for me to see
When I opened my eyes they weren't gone
And now we're gonna make some songs,
We're gonna make some , do do ... ba ba

*** Thanx to Chris for doing this one and to Rekha who corrected some mistakes ***

A sweet burger Lp

(One, Two, Three, Four....)

You love me through to time
And I don't even know who you are.
I know you're probably heading this group,
But now that you tell me with you.

You say that it's unfruitful
To sit here and daydream,
But I sure know what I'm hearing
Is as good as you seem.

You say it's unfruitful
To sit here and daydream,
But I sure know what you give
Is as good as you seem.

The police put down who he says
And throw me a ringer.
Why should I follow diplomacy,
Your travelling little show?

You say that it's unfruitful,
Laying down and daydreaming,
But I swear you another world of
As good as I've ever seen.

You say that it's unfruitful
To sit here and daydream,
But I should not hear
It as your life seems so grim.

I only get to see you once or twice a year.
Just about too many years and you came around here.
Why do you think this girl's stupid?
Why do you dream I doubt it?
The sob broke initially.
What else is there?
What can you do about it?

Talkin' to me, invade my thoughts.
You just don't ever know.
I like you, but you're far away
In the school, where it really shows.

You're talkin' to me.
Feed my thoughts
With a grace I need show.
I guess, this is how it's going to be.
I like you and you won't know.

(You did great)
(Thanks)

*** Thanx to Dan for doing this one ***

Bye

There could be something to the higher star.
You lie to him and you know who we are.
Did I amuse you with my operating hand?
With a dance and a kiss and a bottle of wine.

We have an education. Not to lose a day.
The single measure of his coming cry.
We have a feeling. Turn things up.
I'll be leaving if you're high. Can I give you a call?

If you'll give me a call, I may need to remember,
What I had a finger in in mid-September.
I guess you're really full heart too,
But our love gave it all.

Can I give you a call?
Can I give you a call?
Can I give you a call?
Can I give you a call?

Rhinestones are a girl's best friend
Some of the things are just too good to end.
I guess this is you so no one told
And when they give you all the rules they say it's time to get old
And about three,
Won't you please set a place for me?
Don't remember the words to this song.
When I go home we'll all play along.
You gimme' a car and the keys to your pad.
And you go and feel with me to mid-September.
And last year a mohawk too,
But I loved it all.

Can you give me a call?
Yeh, can you give me a call?
Yeh, can you give me a call?
Can you give me a call?

Can you give me a call when you need a friend to count on,
When all you're really thinking 'bout is Miss September?
I missed you and your broke heart too,
But I loved it all.

Can you give me a call?
Can you give me a call?
Can you give me a call?
Can you give me a call?

*** Thanx a lot to Jessica who corrected a mistake ***

Let Them Eat Chewy Granola Bars

We'll milk the chickens, pluck the cows.
Milk the chickens, pluck the cows.
Put the dirty clothes in the drawer.
Put the dirty clothes in the drawer.
Move backwards at the bell.
Move backwards at the bell.
Move closer to the floor.
Move closer to the floor.

Milk the chickens, pluck them cows.
Milk the chickens, pluck them cows.
Walk into the door.
Walk into the door.
Watch them all bow.
Watch them all bow.
Well, he cried out for more.
He cried out for more.

Julius fast body

Julius fast body he be free
Tell me how he flies
The trees and mailboxes he don't even see
In a blur the falcon waves right by

He was born much faster than me
But I don't know why
They way he go like a bumble bee
I wish for the means to try

Julius fast body, teach me a trick
Learn me the tools of your trade
Look man, I mean it, come here (a minute?) and explain it?
Don't be afraid

But he keep on goin' and stick with it
He knows he got it made

He's got it made...

*** Thanx to Chris for doing this one and to Rekha who corrected some mistakes ***

Better 'N You

You're lost beneath the sea
And you didn't wait for me.
You left me here, left me hangin' on.
When I knew you'd drowned,
Did you think I'd wait around?
When I woke up, you were already gone.

You could waste your life feeling lonely
Or you could waste your life feeling pain.
When you carry the weight of one too many yesterdays,
You won't know to come in from the rain.

You dug up your own grave.
You've no life left to save.
You're always saying, saying you can't go on.
Well, I've been beneath the sea
And I couldn't hardly see.
When I woke up, you were already gone.

I've wasted time feeling lonely.
I've wasted half my life feeling pain,
But at least I feel the weight upon my shoulder.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
You won't know to come in from the rain.

Swill And The Cocaine Sluts

Come on over, make her ambitious.
Tell me some more of your true time stories.

I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.

You roll around at the top of the stairs.
When the one I call my type stands and stares I am theirs.
I'll find me a boyfriend with huge synthesizer.
The more you keep talking, the more I am wiser.

I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.

You can talk about emotions and obediently.
Stay around me wasting time you love me.
Have mom tie the quinces puke it on your carpet
And open their eyes if their clothes partly wet.

I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a coke slut.
I don't wanna be a coke slut.

Definitely, you wasted time with the white
Be a part of sleep and useless night

I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
I don't wanna be a cocaine slut.
Don't wanna be a coke slut.
I don't wanna be a coke slut.
I don't wanna be a coke slut.

Keep talkin', keep talkin'.
Keep talkin', keep talkin'.
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin',
Talkin', talkin', talkin', la-la-la-la-la-la-oooo!

Keep talkin', keep talkin'.
Keep talkin', keep talkin'.
Keep talkin', talkin'.
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin', doo-doo-doowap.

Earwig

Cesspool

They took it away, they won't put it back.
They made all the water turn to black.
Their deed is washed up on my shore.
It was better the way it was before.
Check out this place I used to go.
None of my children'll ever know...never know.

Something's wrong but it could be right.
It's not like the day turning into night.
I'll tell you about it, I'll take you there.
You think about it, but you don't dare
To act for what we all deserve.
All we need is a little nerve...lot of nerve.

They'd do almost anything if the price was right enough.
Well, I might do anything to clean it up.

Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo-ooo.

They took it away, they're not gonna put it back.
They think they've got me in a trap,
But there's one thing I'm prepared to do
To make this cesspool as good as new.
I'll get my guns and both of my friends.
We'll make some righteous amends...maybe we'll start a trend.

Take it, this cesspool.
Make it good as new.
Take it, this cesspool.
Make it good as new.

'Tis the circle of woe.
Summertime at home.

Dead and gone

It was getting cold and I felt like I was drifting away.
So I pulled the wool over my eyes, it was heavy and warm
And when you acted like this was how it was supposed to be,
I really let it cover me.

But soon as you're dead and gone I'll see,
What wasn't always clear to me.
I will be free to bury you.

I woke up early and I looked into the sunny expanse of the sky,
Then I took one look at you and I knew that it was time for something to die.
I'm giving back the sugar that you offered up.
It covers up the ache and the cavity, but it's not enough.

Soon as you're dead and gone i'll see,
What wasn't always clear to me.
I will be free to bury you forever.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ohhhhhh! Ohhhhh!

Now that you're dead and gone I'll take back
All that I always thought I knew.
They'd be the best things I can give away.

Grateful

Somebody gave me this song, I just supplied the links.
I don't like to sit too long, for fear that I might sink.
I don't like to fly too far, for fear that I might fall.
Why can't I be steady, is there no middle ground at all?
All-all, all-all.

I need too much sleep, the days are always hazy.
Maybe I'll wake up some day, or maybe I'll get crazy.
Don't complain, you have it all, all there is is this.
Don't ever blink, just think of what you might miss.
Miss, miss

I have to go vomit now, but my mother isn't calling.
I don't like cliffs or roofs, I'm scared of jumping and falling.
Yesterday was years ago, I don't remember when I grew.
It might stop today, so can I spend the time with you?
You, you. You, you.

When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?
When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?
Oooooo!
When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?

You don't give up

There you go again as soon as the going gets tough.
Are you finding that a diet of fluff won't fill you up?
That's a nice line, from where did you lift it?
You talk like heaven, you're amazingly gifted.
Show me a reason why your promises fall through.
Your kisses were okay, but you stole them too.

You don't give up, you're a loser disguised.
You voice your concern, but it's a pack of lies.
You don't really care, don't say that you do.
Save your breath for when you tell the truth.

You draw 'em all in and then you turn around and throw 'em away.
Better watch out for all of them who misconstrued your little games.

You don't give up, you're a fool who really tries
to make innocent people think you're some kind of prize.
You don't really care, don't try to tell me you do.
Save your spit for when you shine my shoes.

Your way or the highway

Well, you can look down your nose and tell me I'm no good,
But I'm just doing all I can, like I know I should.
Every time I stand, you tell me I should sit.
All the things that I try on, never seem to fit.

It's your way or the highway, either way you win.
I'm about to give up hope for you, you can't come in.

You open your mouth and make a fist before you know the facts.
Maybe you should see your face or look between the cracks.
You think I will respond when you tell me what to do.
I wish we weren't connected, 'cause I'd get along great without you.

It's your way or the highway, either way you're right.
Everything I do is wrong, like sunbathing in the night.

It's your way or the highway, either way you win.
I'm about to give up hope for you, you can't come in.
It's your way or the highway, either way you're right.
I'll never be able to please you, you won't even let me fight.

Rain (a.k.a Better'n you)

You're lost beneath the sea
And you didn't wait for me.
You left me here, left me hangin' on.
When I knew you'd drowned,
Did you think I'd wait around?
When I woke up, you were already gone.

You could waste your life feeling lonely
Or you could waste your life feeling pain.
When you carry the weight of one too many yesterdays,
You won't know to come in from the rain.

You dug up your own grave.
You've no life left to save.
You're always saying, saying you can't go on.
Well, I've been beneath the sea
And I couldn't hardly see.
When I woke up, you were already gone.

I've wasted time feeling lonely.
I've wasted half my life feeling pain,
But at least I feel the weight upon my shoulder.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
You won't know to come in from the rain.

Lament

You told me all about you, without ever saying a word.
Every time you opened your mouth it was my voice that I heard.
At least that's what I thought, or maybe I'm just lonely.
Believing every minute of every day, that you're the very only.

You led me on 'cause all your songs, were stuck onto my heart.
Why don't you finish what you start?

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna change that way.

Before, you had to sing your songs, there was nothing else you could do.
Well, I know all about it, 'cause I do it too.
I waited and waited and waited and waited for you to return again.
And when you finally resurfaced, it was like I'd lost my best friend.

You led me on 'cause all your songs, were really dear to me. Ohhh!
I wish your words were still clear to me.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna change that way. No.

It's a fact and I can't fight it, it will always be unrequited.
If I had a bullet, I would bite it.
If you didn't mean it, why'd you write it? It will always be unrequited.
If I had a bullet, I would bite it.

You can't come back that many times, there's no such thing as a dull roar.
I promise I'll never make you wish it was like it was before.
I'll stop it before it gets like that, it doesn't matter how.
You'll only have good memories, the only time is now.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna change that way.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna do that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna change that way.

Alright

How is it on the inside? They say you can't see the sun.
Do they lock up all the doors at night? Did they take away your farm?
Do they stare at you? Do they make you talk? Do they watch you every hour?
Wish I could hold you up, but I don't have the power.

Will you really be alright?
Promise me you'll sleep tonight.
Get back up off the ground.
Stop falling down.

They're slowly sucking from your bloodstream day by day.
Your eyes are tired and I don't like to look at you that way.
Bodies are walking back and forth. You can hear them moan.
Wish I could give you hope, but I can't do it alone.

Will you really be alright?
Promise me you'll sleep tonight.
Get back up off the ground.
Stop falling down.

Will you really be alright?
Maybe you'll come home tonight.
Get yourself up off the ground.
Stop falling down.

Loose

(The Stooges Cover)

I took a ride with a pretty music.
I went down and, Baby, you can tell...uh-huh.
I took a ride with pretty music,
Now I'm putting it to you straight from hell.

I'll stick it deep inside.
I'll stick it deep inside,
'Cause I'm loose.

I feel fine with dancin', Baby.
I feel fine, I'm gonna shake it, Lou...woooo!
I'm real fine with dancin', Baby,
'Cause it's love, yeah, I do believe.

I'll stick it deep inside.
I'll stick it deep inside,
'Cause I'm loose.

I took a ride...pretty baby.
I went down...Baby, you can tell.
I took a ride...pretty baby.
And I'm all...straight from hell.

And I will stick it deep inside.
And I'll stick it...huh.
'Cause I'm loose, 'cause I'm loose, 'cause I'm loose.

Take your head off my shoulder

How many times does it take to know?
How many inches will your nose grow?
How many girls will you pull in tow?
How many minutes until you go?

Take your head off my shoulder, I'm asking you to.
I'm tired of all your charm, I'm tired of waiting on you.

Yeah, you're a pretty and a fascinating boy
but friends are people, they're not toys.
I'll take my pencil and I'll render you void.
All my tears are gonna come from joy.

Take your head off my shoulder, I'm asking you nicely.
I'm tired of all your charm, I'm tired of waiting for you.

I know a liar. His name is Cupid, I may be dumb but I'm not stupid.

From here to Burma

Thick as a wooden block, white-walled tire.
Thin as a blade of grass, pointed spire.

From here to Burma, The time it takes to get to you.
From here to Burma, How far it is from me to you.

Black as three a.m., chocolate swirl.
White as milk and snow, mother-of-pearl.

From here to Burma, The time it takes to get to you.
From here to Burma, How far it is from me to you.

Don't suck my breath

Bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
Everybody hates me.
Take me with a grain of salt.
Everything bad will be my fault.

Angel bright, life and death.
Get off the world.
Don't suck my breath.
Don't suck my breath.

Cloud of doom on my head.
Land on someone else instead.
Your voice is all around.

Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?

No matter, no form, I can't grab on
To me or you or anyone.
I wanna float back to my friends.
I wanna come back home again.

Angel bright, life and death.
Why don't you get off the world?

Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?

Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?
Oooooo!

Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?

Outta my head

It's my island, get off.
It's where I'll live.
I'll shake your face off my mind.
There'll be no trace of your kind.

I'll put it outta my head, it's all I can do.
Nothing ever happens, where are you?
I'll try not to think, today's the new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.

I had a feeling or so I thought.
What seems true is often not.
I'll take my body and go away
and if I want to, I can stay...I can stay.

I'll put it outta my head, it's all I can do.
Nothing ever happened, who are you?
I'll try not to think, today's a new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.

I'll put it outta my head it's all I can do.
Nothing ever happened, where are you?
I'll try not to think, today's a new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.

Steamie Gregg

Oh you like so fine in your shaven head.
Not a hairdo but a hat instead.
Your shadow dances on that tv
Like no one did before.
You never look into the camera at me.
You're hiding something for sure.
Ooooh, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg.

Do you dream about me like I think about you?
You know that we'll meet someday.
You like me a lot and I'll move to your town.
We'll live happily forever that way.
Ooooh, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg.

Laugh a little and sing some more.
Your sparkling eyes are only yours.

Not just a wish

(Take off)

Not just a wish-bone place to go
And it's not a sunhouse though.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.

Not just a wish-bone place to play
At the end of your working day.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.

Not just a wish-bone place for flight
And a chance for something real this night.

Not just a wish-bone, show you hair,
Hats and picks and cold underwear.

Not just a wish-bone, some airs like mine
People say I'm bound to all the time...oooo.

Not just a wish-bone, find me some fun.
Food and booze for everyone.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.
Oooo-oooo-wah.

Sunburn

I'm not your mother

People think you're tough,
but you only pretend to be.
A real man would live alone
and feel no pain, like me.

When your baby said she was leaving
you slapped yourself in the face.
You clung to her and cried
and cracked all over the place.

Because you're a weakling.
You're a suckling lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just a man.

I was only talking when I said to you
whatever it was I said.
I didn't mean anything.
Just put it out of your head.

Now you look to me like I'm ready to give
but I only just wanted to play.
You're trying to cop a feeling
while I'm trying to get away.

You're a big guy, but you're cut down to size
when you're left all by yourself.
Well I'm not paid to babysit
and don't ask me to help.

Let go of me and fall
into the arms of another
I'm the wrong girl for you.
I'm not your mother.

I'm an island. I'm a rock.
My head's an emtpy mental block.
You can't get lovin' from a stone.
I ain't no goddam foster home.

You're a weakling.
You're a suckling lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just a man.

You're a weak thing.
Just a little lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just like a woman.

Anything you can do I can do better
Girls will do it all without the aid of a mother.
Anything you can do I can do better
Girls will do it all without the aid of a mother.
Anythign you can do I can do do.
I'm not your mother. I'm not your mother.

Out there

You drive around aimlessly.
Don't know what you hope to see.
You know it's stupid.

I see you when I pass you by.
I'm afraid to meet your eye.
I know it's stupid.

You have a voice, you have a phone,
But you're usually alone.
You know it's stupid.

I have a body and a brain,
But I turn them off again...again.
I know it's stupid.

There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where,
But I know it's out there.
It must be out there somewhere.

I'm gonna leave this place.
Gonna leave this life of waste.
Gonna put on a new face.

Where was I before?
I'm not there anymore.
Went away and tried to come back.
Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where,
But I know it's out there.
It must be out there somewhere.

There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where.
There's nothing out there.
It's not out there anywhere.

I'm gonna leave this town.
Gonna leave it like I found it.
Gonna turn myself around.

Star

You ring me up and you bring me down.
I never know if you'll come around.
I like the salty taste in my mouth.
Ten minutes on the lips, ten days without.

If I were a star,
Would you look at me when you're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?

What would you say if I shined at night?
If everyone wanted a piece of my light?
Would you say the name?
Would you finally be the guy who can't get enough of me?

If I were a star,
Would you think of me when you're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?

Just think of what I could be and not what I am.
The envy of every woman, the dream of every man.

If I were a star,
Would you look at me when we're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?

Look away

You are...you're beautiful when you're mad.
You are...you're beautiful when you're crazy.

Crazy like the time you took to talk in slow,
Letting no one know
Of your whereabouts.
You said, there's nothing to explain, just count me out.

I get along without you when you look away.
I dream awful things about you when you look away.

You are...you're pitiful when you beg. (Please.)
You are...you're pitiful when your hand is on my leg.

Telling me that you dream of me,
I'd much rather you scream at me.
I get blue when you lean on me.
When you let me know that you need me.

I get along without you when you look away.
I dream awful things about you when you look away.
Ooo-ooo-ooo.
Ooo-ooo-ooo.

Ooo-ooo-ooo.
Ooo-ooo-ooo.
I get along without you when you look away.
(Get along without you when you look away.)
I dream awful things about you when you look away.
(I dream awful things about you when you look away.) ....

Sanctify

Another way to go, the weight won't show.
A cheapskate's guide to the kissing zone.
I didn't come back.
Babe, don't you move at all when I do.
I'll make some buildings fall.

Will the pieces stick to you, can they bring you back to size?
If I tear a hole straight through, will you pretend to be alive?
Make a fire in the quiet sky. Ow!
Kick a boy and teach him how to cry.

A heavy metal rain upon your head.
A burning blast to bring you back from the dead.
You used to kill me with your smile,
I'll be back in a while to take you out in style.

Will the pieces stick to you, can they bring you back to size?
If I tear a hole straight through, would you pretend to be alive? Wo!
Make a fire in the quiet sky...sky.
Kick a boy and teach him how to cry.

Oh, wo-wo-wo-wo, I'll make some buildings fall.

Will the pieces stick to you, can they bring you back to size?
If I...if I tear a hole straight through, would you pretend to be alive? Wo!
Make a fire in the quiet sky...sky!
Kiss a boy and teach him how to cry.

Girl in a box

I've got a girl in a box,
Keep her under my bed, it sure must get hot in the summertime.
I get her out when there's nothing else to do.
When there's nothing on TV, when I can't see you.
Wife don't mind if I give her a child.
My wife don't mind, she thinks it's pretty wild.
I've got this girl in a box, I got a girl in a box.

I'll keep her 'till the day,
I'll keep her 'till the day,
I'll keep her 'till the day that I die

And I hope I die in the nighttime
With my TV on and a beer in my hand and you by my side.

I got a girl in a box,
We play games, I'm anything I'm not,
But I wanna be, yeah, I wanna be.
She'll be a slut, or a dirty little whore
Or the girl next door or my bride instead
Or I'll cut off her head,
If I want to, yeah, I want to.

I'll keep her 'till the day,
I'll keep her 'till the day,
I'll keep her 'till the day that I die.
I've got a girl in a box.
I've got a girl in a box.

Train

"Hold on to my arm,"
She said, strung out on the floor.
"I've been knocked uptight.
I've been locked outside.
I can't go on anymore."

Cut off the circulation.
Don't let it go to my head too quick.
Let the feeling grow.
Just let it flow.
Gonna make it last.
Gonna make it last.

I'm a hurricane
And the blood flows free from an open vein.
This is the last time:
Never at home again.

Oh! I know that train you're riding on. (Oh-oh-oh.)
It's sixteen coaches long.
My baby's on that train and gone.
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.

"Hold on," she said.
"I've been knocked uptight
And locked outside.
I can't go on.
I can't go on."

I'm a hurricane
And the blood flows free from a broken vein.
This is the last time,
Never at home again.

Oh! I know that train you're riding on. (Oh-oh-oh)
It's sixteen coaches long.
My baby's on that train and gone.
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.

The future is open wide.
The future is open wide.
The future is open wide.

(Gone.)
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)

I'll take anything

Feel like a slob who lives for the day,
When a winning ticket pay is made.
Caught with my butt hanging out of my pants.
Waiting for some kind of lucky chance.
But nothing ever comes to those who wait.
That's why I'm wasting away in front of that empty plate.
I say, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger, today."

I look out of the window from my bed.
I weigh all my options, but not one comes out ahead.
You'd think there'd be something.
Oh, I'll take anything.

I look up to the heavens and over at the phone.
Most of what I had is gone,
But I still got my TV,
It makes me feel I'm not alone.
I say, "Nothing's good and nothing's bad.
Everything's just kinda sad.
I kinda hope for an accident,
So I can go to sleep."

I look at all my buddies and what's left of the family.
They're not what I wanna be.
Not whom I wanna see.
You'd think there'd be something.
Oh, I'll take anything.

Wasn't always this way.
I used to know how to use the day.
Maybe I can shake this funk
And get out before I'm sunk.

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.

You'd think there'd be something,
Oh, I'll take anything.

Watch me now, i'm calling

I'm closing up, I'm shutting down, I took a vow of silence.
You won't hear me from now on, you'll only see the violence.

I put some water into a pot and brought it to a boil.
I poured it on my arm without any reflex of recoil.
I made sure it'd miss my hand,
'Cause I need it to play in a band.
I thought I would scream,
But I didn't feel a thing.

Then I took some ice and the sharpest knife, and brought 'em to my room.
I sat there thinking of you and what I ought to do.
Then I picked a spot and numbed it up, 'cause carving can take some time,
Then I dug your name out of my skin, 'cause in my head, you're in my...mind
...mind.

Wo! I realized with some urgency, that all this is child's play.
I need to learn to speak in a more effective way.
But just what is the desired effect and why have I been stalling?
I want you to feel it, watch me now, I'm calling.

Over at the hospital, they will dress my wounds,
But they won't really heal, until they're touched by you.

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.

Gimme some mirth

All kind of shit hit close to home.
You're not safe unless you always sleep alone.
I don't have to worry 'cause I had a single bed.
All I have to worry about's the ache in my head.

Gimme' some mirth!
Gimme' some mirth!
Gimme' some mirth!
Gimme' some mirth!

And the ache in my stomach, that rips it up
And all the hidden messages you never pick up.
Ev'ryone really hates me when I try to call.
You would only give some, but I would give it all.
All...all...all...all...ooo-ooo.

Gimme' some mirth!
Ow! Gimme' some mirth!
Ouch! Gimme' some mirth!
Gimme', gimme', gimme', gimme'!

Shake, skake, oh!

Gimme' Billy, Bobby, TV!

Gimme some mirth! Just a touch.
Gimme some mirth! I don't ask for much.
Gimme some mirth! Just no, wo-yeah-yeah-yeah-ay....

Gimme.

Kiss and Make up

You can have my undivided attention.
I'll give you everything and then some.
Now, don't you wanna...don't you wanna kiss and make up?

Whatever I did, I won't do it again.
I'll die for you, just say when.
I'll forget about what you've done.
Now come on, I'm in no shape to be left alone.
Now, don't you wanna, don't you wanna kiss and make up?

Forgetting what else I'll have to say.
Evil, yes I've seen it.
But for now put your torture tools away
And love me like you mean it.

When you walk out the door, please don't be long.
You know I can't stand when you are gone.
Oh, please let's kiss and make up.

Ooo, you're acid rain.
Why'd you have to try and bring me pain.
I ask you from down on scraped-up knees.
Come and put my mind at ease.
Let me do my thing.
Bring me something good to eat.
Lay me down again and you'll see
The power you have over me...power you have over me...
Over me...over me...over me...over me.

A million years

I promise not to touch, I'll let you be.
I just wanna watch you when you sleep.
Promise I will go away,
If you promise not to leave.

Close my mouth, 'cause it's no use.
There aren't any words to speak the truth.
Blow it all away and begin again.
Start all over wi' you my friend.
Are there any ways to make you cry?
If I knew, I definitely would try.

I'll wait here for a million years.

You know that you can take my love away.
Keep tearing off little pieces every day.
Soon, there will be nothing left of me for you to hate.

I'll wait here for a million years.

Here, here...
Here, here, here...
Here, here...
Here...

God Bless The Blake Babies

*** Thanx a lot to Jeff for these lyrics ! ***

Disappear

I don't want to hear his name
It only makes me feel ashamed of those wasted days
And when I see his face I wish that I could make him disappear
My guitar was getting trashed so I made him give it back
Now he won't let up, saying I took his stuff
I wish that he would just disappear
You can't say I'm anti-everything
I just don't think the whole world owes him something
He's been talking to my friends
I hope they don't invite him in again
What I wouldn't do: go back to '92 and erase the moment I met you
And make you disappear

Nothing Ever Happens

Left after the weeping willow tree
Right past my house down the alley
To the chair in the room where I live and breathe
I live and breathe
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
You can't miss what you never ever had
But I'm missing something pretty bad
Don't know now exactly where you are
Down the alley, the headlights of a car
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There's a world out there
There's a world in here
There's a world out there
Down the alley, yeah, down the alley
Nothing ever happens to me.

Baby Gets High

I don't need a lesson
Don't put that on yourself
These things just aren't that simple and I don't want the help
And every time I try to hide, I get caught from way inside
And I walk down the aisle like some stupid bride
Please don't ask me why baby gets so high
And what could baby mean?
It's just her little scene
Please don't have me try pull answers from the sky
There's nothing I can say to make it go away
What makes baby get so high?
We're watching from my roof for that special sign
They finally give the signal and we all get in line
And every time I try to hide, I get caught from way inside
And I walk down the aisle like some stupid bride
Please don't ask me why baby gets so high
And what could baby mean?
It's just her little scene
Please don't have me try pull answers from the sky
There's nothing I can say to make it go away
What makes baby get so high?

Waiting For Heaven

The only thing I've ever wanted is to lose myself
So I take a little poison because I need a little help
I don't really care about tomorrow
I'm on a wave coming down from a beautiful phase/face
Heaven
Where are you?
I've been waiting patiently
Will you ever show your face to me
Or am I a fool?
Steven tells me that if we get down and talk to the ceiling
That I could change my reputation and get off on believing
He can sell me on living a lie
Flying away from the truth
Driven out of the room
Heaven
Where are you?
I've been waiting patiently
Will you ever show your face to me
Or am I a fool?
So
long
snow
falling
Heaven
Where are you?
I've been waiting patiently
Will you ever show your face to me
Or is nothing true?

Until I Almost Died

I never knew the color of your eyes
I never cared because I was so high
All the money's gone, but I can sing a song
And I never thought I had a pretty voice until I almost died
I never told you what I really felt
I didn't think I deserved to ask for your help
But you never left my dreams
And to sleep was peace
When my body gave out it was so, so weak
Until I almost died
Keep the violins away
That was yesterday
Seeing a reason in a heavy hand to keep me awake
A slap or a break
The kind of love that becomes hate
Now little things don't mean a lot
And mistakes I can forget
I can start again
I never could, until I almost died

Picture Perfect

She's the window to my soul to let in the sun
Like two pieces of a whole could truly become one
She's my favorite shade of blue
The verdant glow of spring
Every color, every hue
Could be my everything
Can you picture perfect?
Can you make the moment stay?
Take a picture, perfect
I know it can always be like this day
She's the moment in the song that shivers down my spine
When it lasts the whole night long it's easy to define
Can you picture perfect?
Can you make the moment stay?
Take a picture, perfect
I know it can always be like this day

When I See His Face

It could be any day now
It could be any day
It could be any day now
Nothing's going to be the same
When I see his face I'll tell you how it feels
It's just like waking up after a million years
When I see his eyes I'll tell you what it's like
Think of the sweetest dream you've had in all your life
Gonna be the same
Nothing's gonna be the same
Nothing's gonna be the same now
My love will never wax or wane
Sweetest dream ah ha
Think of the sweetest dream aha
Think of the sweetest dream aha
Will never wax or wane
Who never wax or wane
It sits inside of me and stays the same

What Did I Do

Such a beautiful beginning
I can't believe it was a lie
Now the world is cold because I'm sick inside
You've been gone for too long
I don't think I can stay strong
What did I do to make you be so cruel to me?
What did I do to make you wanna leave me lonely?
You used to say to me, "Hey baby"
Now you won't return my calls
I gave too much
Now I have nothing left at all
I'm reaching out in vain
There's no answer
Just this horrible pain
What did I do to make you be so cruel to me?
What did I do to make you wanna leave me lonely?
I found your voice on a tape
The only letter that I saved
And a polaroid of you
And a drawing that you made
You left it in my car
I never knew I had it
What did I do to make you be so cruel to me?
What did I do to make you wanna leave me lonely?
What did I do?
Just tell me something, anything, because I don't understand

Brain Damage

Someone, quick, put something on my mind
Surrounded by the somethings that you said
I've done all the drugs that I can buy
And borrowed all the books I haven't read
Well-worn paths, a glass of warm white wine
Getting older and I'm cutting it too fine
Something about surroundings you once said
The brain damage is all in your head
It's all in your head
Someone, quick, put something on my mind
Surrounded by the somethings that you said
I've done all the drugs that I could find
And borrowed all the books I haven't read
Well-worn paths, a glass of warm white wine
Getting older and I'm cutting it so fine
Something about surroundings you once said
The brain damage is all in your
The brain damage is all in your head
It's all in your head...

Civil War

I'd really love to turn it off, but they all know my name
It's funny when you realize that you are a cliché
When you don't have anything to say you can make it up
There's only five emotions and they all can kill you
So I like to numb myself
It's quiet and familiar
When you don't have anything to say, you can make it up
When I get into bed
There's a war in my head and there's five hundred dead
When you don't have anything to say, you can make it up

Invisible World

I see an invisible world in the eyes of a beautiful girl
The promise of a foreign place, the sadness in a perfect face
You know it's tearing me apart, the loneliness inside my heart and you.
The emptiness of infinite space, a sigh of irresistable grace
The magic of a perfect kiss, to lose yourself in selflessness
The colors of the soul unfurled the beauty of the physical world in you.
Tell me something
I feel nothing but my own skin
Cold against the rain, against the wind
I just want to feel myself again
See
Feel
Never been so real
Never been so near
Never would have guessed
Like a butterfly at best
A caterpillar blessed when you come undressed, yeah.
I see an invisible world in the eyes of a beautiful girl
I see
Yeah

On

I never did you wrong
But it makes a better song
Than you were off and I was on
Your twilight is my dawn
You take too long
I got off, but you go on
Call the nurse
She can stick it in you
Does it hurt to be young and beautiful, like Neil and Jennifer?
You're bitter and depressed
You're faking your own death
Another wasted breath on everything I said
It's better in a song
On

Boiled Potato

(Innocence and experience LP)

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I'm three years younger than you.
Oh, potato, if only you knew,
Boiled potato.

I had a hole in my heart
And you landed on my plate.
Now, I feel all weak in the knees.
Was it something I ate?

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I don't know what to do.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

You make me hate myself.
You make me feel like a bubbling fool.
I'm stupid and ugly.
You're superior and cool.

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
How many times I think of you.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

I'm glad I met you,
My boiled potato.
I wanna show you to the world,
To everyone I know.

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
Whenever I think, I think of you.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

(Anywhere you be)
(Be alone with me)

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I don't know what to do.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

Downtime

(Rosy Jack World EP)

Oh, please help me, doctor, I'm about to lose my mind.
Just trying to pass the time, I'm about to lose my mind.
Anything goes away in time.

Oh, please help me, doctor, I'm about to lose my skin.
(Sun is shining, sun is shining on my skin)
How will I keep my insides in, I'm about to lose my skin.
Everything runs away in time.

Can I turn and hold it down?
Make it stop spinnin' around.

Oh, Jesus, I'm about to lose my girl, I don't need your word.
I count every hour.
Everything burns away in due time.
Ahhhhhhhhh!

I'm about to lose my mind, trying to pass the time
I'm about to lose my mind.
Everything falls away in time.

Nirvana

(Rosy Jack World EP)

I shut the windows and close the store,
I lay down on the bathroom floor, Everyone I know is a bore

I'm starting to think that everything stinks
That I could really use a drink
Then I got up and hit my head on the sink

Father father father father, Do you call
Father father father, Should I end it all

Now, here comes the song I love so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
Now, I got nirvana in my head, I'm so glad I'm not dead

I slam my hand in the car door
I scream till I could scream no more
Bloody and mean and rotten to the core

Father father father father, Do you call
Satan Satan Satan, Should I end it all

You try to get off the ground
But you always end up coming down

When the sound comes around and goes in your ears
You can do anything you have no fears
When that sound comes around and goes in my ears
I can do anything I have no fears

Now, here comes the song I love so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
I got nirvana in my head
I'm so glad I'm not dead

Here comes the song, I love it so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
Now, I got nirvana in my head
I'm so glad I'm not dead

Over and over

(Neil Young Cover / Live / Innocence and experience LP)

At night when the sky is clear and the moon is shining down,
My heart goes running back to you,
I love the way you open up and let me in,
So I go running back to you,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you,
Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you.

Remember the nights of love and that moment on the beach,
That wasn't really too long ago,
But we paid the price of time, and now it's out of reach,
And so the broken circle go,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you,
Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you.

Over and over again my love, my love
Over and over again with you, you
Over and over again my love, love
Over and over again with you.

Severed lips

(Rosy Jack World EP)

I wanna help you
I sense you're riding pretty low
I got the feeling
When your hair hits the ceiling
Something, babe
You oughta know

I won't cry if you walk by
But if we both kind of stumble
Maybe I'll say hi
That's my best
I never try that much
'Cause I'm scared of feeling
That appealing touch

You gotta get through
My maze and pass every test
'Cause I'm choosin' one love to
Tattoo across my chest

Know the time has come
I ain't gonna fester no more
Let the world be free
Of my disease
I never knew a rubber doll
Would be so hard to please

Now I'm preachin' out
One last burst before I retract
No one will know
'Til I finally let go
Of the one thing
I ain't never going to give back

I want to help you
Baby can't you see
You're better than my pillow
'Cause you don't stain so easily
You know it's hard
Just to finally let go
And leave all the pictures behind
Hope I brought you some happiness
I believe I just had to get on
'Cause just wasn't a world
I wished to need to find

*** Thanx a lot to Theresa who corrected some mistakes ***

Take Me

(Rosy Jack World EP)

I'm gonna be cruisin' the coast, drinking my pop.
I'm gonna be kissin' all the girls
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be singing all the rock.

I know you are all that's true,
'Cause I'm feeling fine all the time.
Turn me over now
In a blessed state.
Awaken my fate.

Take, me take me, I will go anywhere you be.
To the stars or far below, you know what I mean.

You bring me up with lots of luck.
Like I'm feeling fine, most of the time.
I'll close my eyes and jump
To a blessed state.
Awaken my fate.

Take, me take me, I will go anywhere you be.
To the stars or far below, give it to me please.

Temptation eyes

(Grass Roots Cover / Rosy Jack World EP)

He's got something that moves my soul,
And he knows I'd love to love him,
And he lets me down every time,
Can't make him mine he's no-one's lover,
Tonight with me he'll be so inviting,
I want her all for myself.

Temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me tonight.

French lines :
" Je voudrais aimer,
Baise moi baby, baise moi baby,
Baise moi baby okey ".

His wild-eyed innocence is just a game,
But just the same my head is spinnin',
He's got a way to keep me on his side,
It's just a ride that's never ending,
Tonight with me he'll be so exciting,
I want him all for myself.

Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me tonight.
