What lyrics are you listening to now? (pt2)

[rollinder]

Deep in the country
The factories hide
Where they make the missiles
That run our lives.

Who the hell makes those missiles?(3x)
When they know what they can do?

They've got the money.
They've got the know-how.
It's all above our heads;
It's coming down now.

Missiles cause damage
And make an eerie sound.
Missiles leave carnage
Where there once was a town.

Who the hell makes them?
Who the hell makes them?
Who the hell makes those missiles?
When they know what they can do?

 

[rollinder]

The draft is coming
It's blowing down the door
So pack your bags, boys and girls
We're all going off to war

You can be the next to die for Halliburton
Pull the cord, drape the flag and draw the curtain
You can pull the trigger for the Exxon Corporation
Watch the cities burn around you while you're standing at your station
You can shoot the children as they throw stones at your Humvee
And you can die for Kerry or maybe for Dick Cheney

The draft is coming
It's blowing down the door
So pack your bags, boys and girls
We're all going off to war

When your tours are over and you come back
Maybe you can go to college if you survive Iraq
With DU dust in your lungs you can learn a trade
In your dying years you'll have it made
And when you're coughing up your last breath beneath the overpass
You'll be praying for the fortunes of the military brass

The draft is coming
It's blowing down the door
So pack your bags, boys and girls
We're all going off to war

But you can be happy about the cause for which you died
At least you fought for freedom unlike the other side
They were setting off car bombs while you dropped them from the sky
You sold the country off to whatever company would buy
Shut their papers down and shot them for their liberty
So as you die you know you left the world a bit more free

The draft is coming
It's blowing down the door
So pack your bags, boys and girls
We're all going off to war

Yes you can die for oil and watch history repeat
Fight for empire in the desert and go down in defeat
Or maybe it could happen that now in the second round
We will take the struggle higher and this time hear the sound
Of the chimes of freedom ringing when we take Washington, DC
'Cause opportunity is knocking, oh say, can you see
The draft is coming
It's blowing down the door
So pack your bags, boys and girls
We're all going off to war

 

[May Kasahara]

You should not tease and play tricks for a laugh
Ha ha ha...ha ha ha
Ha ha ha...ha ha ha

Do you see her walking the bluff for a high?
She will not know when to quit walking, or why

A great sea beneath her forbodes "you will die"
She laughs at the thought for so far she has kept very dry


She cries and she heaves that her sides, they may break
Oh, the lapping that purples her ragged red cheek

"Be you coddled and cocky, I'll have you for eats"
Cries the great sea and drags her below by her feet
And swallows her whole down below for a treat

Ha ha ha...ha ha ha
Ha ha ha...ha ha ha

 

[Roadkill]

Do you remember the night I held you so tight,
As we danced to the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz?
The music was gay, and the setting was Viennese,
Your hair wore some roses (or perhaps they were peonies),
I was blind to your obvious faults,
As we danced 'cross the scene
To the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.

Oh, I drank some champagne from your shoe, la-la-la.
I was drunk by the time I got through, la-la-la.
For I didn't know as I raised that cup,
It had taken two bottles to fill the thing up.

It was I who stepped on your dress, la-la-la.
The skirts all came off, I confess, la-la-la.
Revealing for all of the others to see
Just what it was that endeared you to me...
<dramatic pause>

I remember the night I held you so tight,
As we danced to the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.
Your lips were like wine (if you'll pardon the simile),
The music was lovely and quite Rudolf Friml'y.
I drank wine, you drank chocolate malts,
And we both turned quite green
To the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.


and...


First you get down on your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Do whatever steps you want if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff.
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison,
Doin' the Vatican Rag.

Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional.
There the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original.
If it is, try playin' it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!

So get down upon your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Make a cross on your abdomen,
When in Rome do like a Roman;
Ave Maria,
Gee, it's good to see ya.
Gettin' ecstatic an' sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the Vatican
Rag!

Can't beat a bit of Tom Lehrer.

 

[felixthecat]

Yes it's me again
And I'm back
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Oh I oh I oh I baby
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
The 22nd of loneliness and we've
Been through so many thangs
I love my man with all honesty
But I know he's cheatin' on me
I look him in his eyes but all he
Tells me is lies to keep me near
I'll never leave him down though
I might mess around it's only
'Cause I need some affection oh

[Chorus]
So I creep yeah
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed 2 know
So I creep yeah
'Cause he doesn't know
What I do and no attention
Goes to show oh so I creep

The 23rd of loneliness
And we don't talk
Like we used 2 do
Now it seems pretty
Strange but I'm not
Buggin' 'cause I still feel
The same yeah yeah
I'll keep giving loving
Till the day he pushes me away
Never go astray
If he knew the
Things I did he couldn't
Handle it
And I choose 2 keep him
Protected oh

[Chorus]

I think about us baby all the time
But you know that I'm gonna need some attention
Yeah, yeah can you dig it
Love you forever baby soul & mind
And you gotta know if
You don't give it I'ma
Get mine

Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Oh I oh I oh I baby
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus]

I creep around because I need attention
Don't mess around with my affection
Oh I oh I oh I yeah

[Chorus]

 

[felixthecat]

Where did you go when things went wrong baby?
Who did you run to
And find a shoulder to lay your head upon?
Baby wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of ou?
No no, I can't believe you're leaving me

Stay with me baby
Please, stay with me baby
Ooh, stay with me baby
I can't go on

Who did you touch when you needed tenderness?
I gave you so much
And in return I found happiness
Baby what did I do
Maybe, maybe I was too good, too good to you
No no, I can't believe you're leaving me

Stay with me baby
Ooh, stay with me baby
Ooh, please stay with me baby

Remember you said you'd always gonna need me
Remember you said you'd never ever leave me
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you, ooh, ooh

Stay with me baby,
Please please stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
I can't go on

Ooh stay with me baby
I'm begging you, stay with me baby
Stay, stay, stay with me baby

Listening to the Lorraine Ellison version and singing very loudly and doing the full diva throwing my arms open bit...

Sheer soul class

^ I mean Lorraine Ellison, not me

 

[felixthecat]

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

When a man loves a woman.....

 

[killer b]

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you.

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.

The moon maybe high
but I can't see a thing in the sky,
'Cause I Only Have Eyes For You.

I don't know if we're in a garden,
or on a crowded avenue.

You are here
So am I
Maybe millions of people go by,
but they all disappear from view.
And I Only Have Eyes For You.

 

[Tank Girl]

You're only 29
Got a lot to learn
But when your mummy dies
She will not return

We like noise, it's our choice
It's what we wanna do
We don't care about long hairs
I don't wear flares

See my face not a trace
No reality
I don't work, I just speed
That's all I need

I'm a lazy sod, I'm lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod, I'm so lazy
I'm a lazy sod, I'm lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod, I'm so lazy
I can't even be bothered
Lazy Lazy

 

[rollinder]

^ last verse = me lately

Calling sister midnight
You've got me reaching for the moon
Calling sister midnight
You've got me playing the fool
Calling sister midnight

Calling sister midnight
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me well
Can you hear me at all
Calling sister midnight
I'm an idiot for you
Calling sister midnight
I'm a breakage inside
Calling sister midnight

Calling sister midnight
You know I had a dream last night
Mother was in my bed
And I made love to her
Father he gunned for me
Hunted me with his six gun
Calling sister midnight
What can I do about my dreams

Listen to me sister midnight
You put a beggar in my heart
Calling sister midnight
You've got me walking in rags
Hey where are you sister midnight
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me well
Can you hear me at all

 

[Tank Girl]

lol, that was me today as well rollinder

You missed that so you wanna kick back
All messed up and that's a fact
If you wanna risk that do that

I guess its time for payback
So u want your cish cash
All wet up and splish splash
So mish mash you slash and go go go

You want it - you take it
You take it - you got it
You want it - you take it

You're insatiable

It's not enough you want more of it
It's not enough must have all of it
Overflowing on overkill
All the hands are out for their pound of flesh

It makes the world spin round & round
The hands are out for their bloody pound
Overflowing on overkill
Sticky licky yummy yummy
Dipping in the milk & honey

You want it - you take it
You take it - you got it
You want it - you take it

You're insatiable

They say it makes the world spin round

Splish splash coming for your cish cash

 

[rollinder]

Temperature's rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky
My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone
My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again
Oh I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Oh, oh, oh, oh

 

[rollinder]

Got me a movie
I want you to know
Slicing up eyeballs
I want you to know
Girlie so groovy
I want you to know
Don't know about you
But I am un chien Andalusia

I am un chien Andalusia (x3)

Wanna grow
Up to be
Be a debaser

Debaser (x5)

Got me a movie
Ha ha ha hoa
Slicing up eyeballs
Ha ha ha hoa
Girlie so groovie
Ha ha ha hoa
Don't know about you
But I am un chien Andalusia

I am un chien Andalusia (x3)

Debaser (x5)

 

[Red Faction]

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Luego A Cueto voy para Mayari.

El carino que te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar

Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan
En el mar cernian arena
Como sacudia el 'jibe'
A Chan Chan le daba pena

Limpia el camino de paja
Que yo me quiero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y asi no puedo llegar

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayari

 

[Roadkill]

Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home --
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

 

[rollinder]

fuck this is a good song

I bless you madly,
sadly as I tie my shoes
I love you badly,
Just in time, at times, I guess
Because of you I need to rest
Because it's you
that sets the test

So much has gone
and little is new
And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear
The Thinker sits alone growing older
And so bitter

"I gave Them life
I gave Them all
They drained my very soul
...dry
I crushed my heart
to ease Their pains
No thought for me remains there
Nothing can They spare
What of me?
Who praised Their efforts
to be free?
Words of strength and care
and sympathy
I opened doors
that would have blocked Their way
I braved Their cause to guide,
for little pay

I ravaged at my finance just for Those
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me"

I bless you madly,
sadly as I tie my shoes
I love you badly, just in time,
at times, I guess
Because of you I need to rest, oh yes
Because it's you
that sets the test

So much has gone
and little is new
And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on me,
My friends talk
Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word

"We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers that he had
Not of the best of men, but Ours

We used him
We let him use his powers
We let him fill Our needs
Now We are strong

And the road is coming to its end
Now the damned have no time to make amends
No purse of token fortune stands in Our way
The silent guns of love
will blast the sky
We broke the ruptured structure built of age
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage

Where money stood
We planted seeds of rebirth
And stabbed the backs of fathers
Sons of dirt

Infiltrated business cesspools
Hating through Our sleeves
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
Stoned the poor
on slogans such as

'Wish You Could Hear'
'Love Is All We Need'
'Kick Out The Jams'
'Kick Out Your Mother'
'Cut Up Your Friend'
'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End'

And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
And We Can Force You to Be Free
And We Can Force You to Believe"

And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain
It said:
"I believe in the Power of Good
I Believe in the State of Love
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right"

And I open my eyes to look around
And I see a child laid slain
on the ground
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
But not hearing anymore
Not hearing anymore
Just the shrieks from the old rich

And I Want to Believe
In the madness that calls 'Now'
And I want to Believe
That a light's shining through
Somehow

And I Want to Believe
And You Want to Believe
And We Want to Believe
And We Want to Live
Oh, We Want to Live

We Want to Live
I want to live

 

[rollinder]

I was walking through the counters of a national concern
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
And i saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
Into the paper bag at her side
And her face was white with fear in case her actions
Were observed
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind

rying
God knows i'm good
God knows i'm good
God knows i'm good
God may look the other way today

God knows i'm good
God knows i'm good
God knows i'm good
God may look the other way today

Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
Perspiration trickled down her forehead
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
She was led away bewildered and amazed
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
As her escort asked her softly for her name
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor

Crying
God knows i'm good
God knows i'm good
God knows i'm good
Surely god won't look the other way

God knows i'm good
God knows i'm good
God knows i'm good
Surely god won't look the other way
Hey

 

[rollinder]

You're alone in the pack
You're feeling like you want to go home
You're feeling unfinished but you keep on going

The reason is there
You'll be falling 'til your feet are gone
Because your living a hoax
Sell us what you suss

Draw your brain, a sick inspiration
Your pill illusion
And then you follow a transfer
If you don't know the game
Then you're still part of it
Because out on the streets
It's strange

Dodge the bullet or carry the gun
The choice is yours

Yeah! Yeah!

Look at the controller
A nazi with a social degree
A middle-class hero
Rapist with your eyes on me
You pay some masturbation
A priest cheers for the nuns you fuck
You'd wipe out spastics if you had the chance
But Jesus, Jesus
Jesus wouldn't like it, no
Jesus wouldn't like it, no

O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad
O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad

Hi. I'm not home right now
But if you want to leave a message
Just start talking at the sound of the tone

Hello? This is your Mother
Are you there? Are you coming home?
Hello? Is anybody home?

Well, you don't know me, but I know you.
And I've got a message to give to you.
Here come the planes.
So you better get ready.
Ready to go.
You can come as you are, but pay as you go
Pay as you go

And I said:
OK. Who is this really?
And the voice said:
This is the hand, the hand that takes
This is the hand, the hand that takes
This is the hand, the hand that takes

Here come the planes
They're American planes
Made in America
Smoking or non-smoking?

And the voice said:
Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night shall
stay these couriers from the swift completion
of their appointed rounds
'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice
And when justice is gone, there's always force
And when force is gone, there's always Mom

Hi Mom!
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms
In your automatic arms
Your electronic arms
In your arms
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms
Your petrochemical arms
Your military arms
In your electronic arms

 

[rollinder]

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup
Please don't start saying that
Or I'll start believing you
If I start believing you
I'll know that this party fears two

And what if this party fears two?
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here
From closer to near
Awake me

Don't turn around
I won't have to look at you
And what's not found
Is all that I see in you
My manners are failing me
I'm left feeling ugly
And you say it's wonderful
To live with I never will

So what if this party fears two?
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here
From closer to near
Awake me

I'm standing still
And you say I dress too well
Still standing still
I might but it's hard to tell
Even a slight remark
Makes nonsense and turns to shark
Have I done something wrong?
What's wrong's the wrong that's always in wrong

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup

 

[rollinder]

I ain't found what I'm looking for
I ain't found what I'm looking for now
But I've found something
And I'm going to change em
Keep on keepin' on yeah
'Till the fight is won
Keep on keepin' on yeah
'Till the fight is won
Alright

Can't remember such a bitter time
The Boss says jump! The workers fall in line
I'm not down, but I'm feeling low
The whip us into line
With the threat of the dole

Time & time when the workers rise
The fightback's stabbed by a neat backstab
& the papers lies
Leaders lead us into blind retreat
One by one we take the money
Ten by ten we face defeat

Keep on keepin' on yeah
'Till the fight is won
Keep on keepin' on yeah
'Till the fight is won
Alright

The bosses make us pay for their crisis
They blame us for daring to challenge things
Keep on keepin' on now
Keep fighting daring yeah yeah yeah
'Till the fightback begins

I ain’t won what I’m fighting for
Full-timers backslide to the cries of sell out!
We've got to get the reins in our hands ourselves
Stand firm! Hold tight! And fight!

The bosses, they hit
While we're taking it
In turns to spit
Divide & lose now aaarrhhhhhhhhh!
No point in fighting anyway (no point)
If we don't win the day (hold tight)
No point if we don't shoot
The bastards afterwards

Keep on keepin' on yeah
'Till the fight is won
Keep on keepin' on yeah
'Till the fight is won
Alright

It is better
To die on our feet
Than to live on our knees
If we fight as one
Then the fight is won
Til that day we’ll keep keeping on yeah

Keep on keepin' on yeah
'Till the fight is won
Keep on keepin' on yeah
'Till the fight is won
Alright

Keep on keepin' on oh yeah!
K-e-e-p I'm keepin' on yeah!
Like a red machine
We gotta keep a keep a stay out
Maybe 5 or even 6 months yeah
7, 8, 9, 10 and if it takes a year
We got to last a year

Baby your mind is a radio
Got a reciever inside my head
Baby Im tuned to your wavelength
Lemme tell you what it says:

Transmitter!
Oh! picking up something good
Hey, radio head!

So look at my fingers vibrate
From their tip down down to my toes
Now Im recieving your signal

Transmitter!
Oh! picking up something good
Hey, radio head!
The sound...of a brand-new world.

Transmitter!
Oh! picking up something good
Hey, radio head!

Picking up something good.

[foo]

it's okay in the day I'm staying busy
Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he
Got so sick of crying
So just lately
When I catch myself I do a 180
I stay up clean the house
At least I'm not drinking
Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content
That everyone gets
Just disappears soon as the sun sets

This face in my dreams seizes my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked in soul
He swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

If I was my heart
I'd rather be restless
The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
This ache in my chest
As my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now
My blood running cold
I stand before him
It's all I can do to assure him
When he comes to me
I drip for him tonight
Drowning in me we bathe under blue light

His face in my dreams seizes my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked in soul
He swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone


sad and beautiful. <sniff>

Le Sud - Nino Ferrer

C'est un endroit qui ressemble à la Louisiane,
À l'Italie
Il y a du linge étendu sur la terrasse
Et c'est joli
R
On dirait le Sud, le temps dure longtemps
Et la vie sûrement plus d'un million d'années,
Et toujours en été
2
Y'a plein d'enfants qui se roulent sur la pelouse
Y'a plein de chiens,
Y'a même un chat, une tortue, des poissons rouges,
Il ne manque rien
3
Un jour ou l'autre, il faudra qu'il y ait la guerre
On le sait bien,
On n'aime pas ça, mais on ne sait pas quoi faire,
On dit c'est le destin
R
Tant pis pour le Sud, c'était pourtant bien,
On aurait pu vivre, plus d'un million d'années,
Et toujours en été

This is the hour when the city turns blue
This is the time of the lost and found
They loose the nutters in the Underground
Everything's far and nothing is true

When the streets don't feel like a neutral zone
Or the stranger's eye like a neutral glance
The very next step might blow your chance
Of finding your way home alone -

Look sharp
It's like an opening door, look sharp
It's what we came here for, look sharp
You never know what the wind may blow

And your life's like the voice
in the room upstairs
Raised to someone you never hear
You can try and try, it never comes clear
Are you swearing or saying your prayers?

But the eyes are wide
that were shut for shame
Dogs in their backyards jump up and bark
Hull and Halifax wake in the dark
Like someone was calling their name

Look sharp
It's like an opening door, look sharp
It's what we came here for, look sharp
You never know what the wind may blow

This is the hour when the city turns blue
This is the time of the lost and found
There's no saviours hanging around
Keeping a watch over you

There's words on the wall and a stinking lift
I hold my breath to the 14th floor
Empty-handed I knock at your door
My empty hands are my gift -

Look sharp
It's like an opening door, look sharp
It's what we came here for, look sharp
You never know what the wind may blow

Think Twice Before You Go

by John Lee Hooker
recording 1989
from The Healer (Silvertone ZD74307), copyright notice

Think twice before you go, baby, this will be the end
Think twice before you go, baby, this will be the end
You done leave me one time, baby you'll leave again

Dig in and suffer with me, an' I know you paid your dues
Dig in and suffer with me baby, an' I know you paid your dues
You done leave me when I need you, then I know you stand accused

Doing the man who loves you wrong
Breaking the heart you should be ruling
Doing the man who loves you wrong
I go for a lot of things, but you're a little too strong

Think twice before you go, baby this will be the end
Think twice before you go, baby this will be the end
You done leave me one time, baby, you'll leave again
Ha

 

[Roadkill]

I rolled a joint, and crushed it on the floor,
woe is me, I'll never roll a joint no more.

I took some speed, and ran round in circles,
a thousand miles, a thousand miles or maybe even more.

I took a trip to find me a better self,
but I only found, I'd merely lost all common sense.

Marijuana, what do you want with me?
Constantly, very close indeed to me.

If you drive me mad, you'll make mother very sad;
she'll maybe even cry,
she'll maybe shade a tear,
when she sees my coffin go gliding by.

 

[snackhead]

Yeah its still the same
Can’t you feel the pain
When the needle hits the vein
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
I’ve seen it once before
And oh it’s something else
Good god

Cool breeze come on in
Sunshine come on down
These are the tear drops of the clown
Circus is coming to town
All I’m saying is sometimes I’m more scared of myself
You better
move
I said
move

Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Run for your life
Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Here it comes
I said run
Alright

Yeah I’m on the run
See where I’m coming from
When you see me coming run
Before you see what I’m running from
No time for question asking time is passing by
Alright

You can’t win child
We’ve all tried to
You’ve been lied to
It’s all ready inside you
Either you run right now
Or you best get ready to die
You better
move
I said
move

Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Run for your life
Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Ooh
Here it comes
I Said run

Hurry little children
Run this way
I have got a beast at bay
La la la la la la la
La la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la l a
La la la la l a
Runaway
runaway
Run children
run for your life
runaway
runaway
run children
here it comes
said run

 

[heinous seamus]

Yeah you know it's true
When I say I'll never leave you
And you know it's true
When I promise with my finger
Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you
Stay with me and I... I'll always stay with you

Yeah I know how gentle
I need to be with you
When you hug me and squeeze your eyes
And I've never had more use

Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you
Stay with me and I... I'll always stay with you

And I'm sorry about my face
I wish that I could smile more
When you're laughing on the telephone
And it carries me all those miles back home

Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you
Stay with me and I... I'll always stay with you

You should have a care,
You won't always be alone
But now it's only six weeks left
Then I'm coming back home

Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you
Stay with me and I... I'll always stay with you

Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you
Bear with me and I... I'll always bear with you
