On her way to work one
morning down the path beside the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty coloured skin had been all frosted with the dew
Poor thing, she cried, I'll take you in and I'll take care of you

Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman,
sighed the snake

She wrapped him all cozy in a
comforter of silk
And laid him by the fireside with
some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she
arrived
She found that pretty snake
she'd taken in had been revived

Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman,
sighed the snake

She clutched him to her bosom, You're so beautiful, she cried
But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died
She stroked his pretty skin again
and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite

Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman,
sighed the snake

I saved you, cried the woman And you've bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous
and now I'm going to die
Oh shut up, silly woman, said
the reptile with a grin
You knew damn well I was a
snake before you took me in
Take me in, tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman,
sighed the snake
 
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair

You live in a fancy appartement
Of the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head

I've seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pines
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs

When the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wet

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Your name is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for chistmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh haha

They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, they give a damn

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head

I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes they try

So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
'Cause I know you still bear
the scar, deep inside, yes you do

I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head
 
Aisha
We've only just met
And I think you ought to know
I'm a murderer
Babies need blood

I have a portrait on my wall
He's a serial killer
I thought he wouldn't escape
Aisha
He got out

We live in a cemetary
A cold and damp place
And science runs through us
Making us Gods

The rules are all Wrong
Every perversion is justified
They honestly believe dead bodies
Anything goes around here

I still want to to be human again
What am I?
What am I?
I'm a murderer

Aisha
I'm confused
Aisha
I'm vibrating

I'm a murderer
The Gods all suck
 
When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart
When everything feels all over
When everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four-leaf clover
Take all the worry out of your mind
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come on and give me a chance to say
Let my love open the door
It's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
Only one thing's gonna set you free
That's my love
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart
When tragedy befalls you
Don't let them bring you down
Love can cure your problem
You're so lucky I'm around
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart
 
Wether you whine or grine
Wether you whine or grine
She shake it up right on time
She shake it up right on time

Shake up long, shake up strong
Stay on your feet and you can't go wrong
Wether you whine or grine

First thing she ax, if you 'ave your brush
If you 'ave your brush, you can avoid the rush
Wether you whine or grine

Come a ruff, ruff grine
Come a cool, cool whine
Wether you whine or grine

Wether you whine or grine
Wether you whine or grine
She like when you whine or grine
She love when you whine and grine

First thing she ax, if you 'ave your brush
If you 'ave your brush, you can avoid the rush
Mek it come whine or grine

She want you to whine and grine
She says take a skiddip all the time
She love when you whine and grine

First thing she ax, if you 'ave your brush
If you 'ave your brush, you can avoid the rush
Wether you whine or grine

She'll love when you whine and grine
Just take a skiddip all the time
She want a ruff, ruff stroker
She want a cool, cool stroker
 
Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they’ve got to find those extra cups to fill
They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in brazil

You can’t get cherry soda
’cause they’ve got to fill that quota
And the way things are I’ll bet they never will
They’ve got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil

No tea or tomato juice
You’ll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say no no no

The politician’s daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil

And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives ’em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in brazil

So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn’t take a lot of skill
They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
 
WISH I LIVED IN BRAZIL X

Same old story is back again
She's not a lover, she's just a friend
I'm sick and tired for you to blame on me
Now you think it's funny
Now you wanna spend your money on girls
But you forgot when you were down
That I was around

Call my lover, hang up, call again
What in the world is happening
Listen in, but don't yell at me
Isn't it ironic all you wanna do is smoke chronic
Boy, you forgot when you were down
Who was around

[1] - I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore

Memories don't live like people do
I'm sick for ever believing you
Wish you'd bring back the man I knew
Was good to me, oh Lord
Everytime you say you're coming
Boy, you disappoint me, honey
How well you forgot when you were down
And I was around


One of these days, it's gonna happen to you
Missing a love like I'm missing you, babe yeah yeah
One of these days, when your dreams come true
That's the one that's gonna do it to you
Oh oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah


yeah yeah


ANGIE STONE XX
 
She said it was just a figment of speech
And I said you mean 'figure'
And she said no 'figment' because she
could never imagine it happening
But it did
When we first met, I played the shy-boy
When she spoke to me for the first
time, my nose began to bleed
She guessed the rest
The next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry
And when nobody came to collect our
fares, why I knew then this was
something special
I couldn't stop thinking about her
And everytime I switched on the radio,
there was somebody else singing
a song about the two of us
It was just like being on a fast ride at Fun Fair - the sort you want to get off
because it's scary and then, as soon as
you're off again, you want to
get straight ba
ck on again
But oh love is strange
And you have to learn to take the
crunchy with the smooth I suppose
She began going out with Mr. Potato Head
It was when I saw her in the car park with
his coat around her shoulders
I realized
I went home and thought about the two of
them together until the bath
water went cold around me
I thought about her eyes and the curve of
her breasts and about the point
where their bodies met
I confronted her about it
I said 'I'm the most illegible bachelor in town'
And she said 'Yea, that's why I can never
understand any of those silly
letters you send me'
And then one day it happened
She cut her hair
And I stopped loving her.
 
Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! ...

Back in '68 in a sweaty club
Oh, Geno
Before Jimmy's Machine and The Rocksteady Rub
Oh-oh-oh Geno-o
On a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes
After a week of flunkin' and bunkin' school
The lowest head in the crowd that night
Just practicin' steps and keepin' outta the fights

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
But you were Michael the lover
The fighter that won
But now just look at me
I'm looking down at you
No, Im not bein flash
Its what Im built to do

That man took the stage, his towel was swingin' high
Oh Geno
This man was my bombers, my Dexy's, my high
Oh-oh-oh Geno-o
The crowd they all hailed you, and chanted your name
But they never knew like we knew
Me and you were the same
And now you're all over, your song is so tame, brrrrr
You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
You were Michael the lover
The fighter that won
But now just look at me
I'm looking down at you
No, Im not bein flash
Its what Im built to do

Oh Geno, Woh-oh-oh Geno-o
Oh Geno, Woh-oh-oh Geno-o



I just forgot how mega this song is......great stuff
 
can't get these ones out of my head :mad:

Hey hey hey the end is near
On a good day you can see the end from here
But I won't turn back now though the way is clear
I will stay for the remainder

I saw a life and I called it mine
I saw it drawn so sweet and fine
And I had begun to fill in all the lines
Right down to what we'd name her

Our nature does not change by will
In the Winter 'round the ruined mill
The creek is lying flat and still
It is water though it's frozen

So, across the years and miles and through
On a good day you can feel my love for you
Will you leave me be so that we can stay true
To the path that you have chosen?
 
Oh hair of dread, the time is here.
Thirty-three, the sheep draw near
with eyes so keen they cannot hear
all the lies that buy their ears

Oh, horsepants, tobacco chest
Oh, sex ghost. Oh, nape of neck
The tears are crashing on her breasts
The burning bed is out again

If it's sad, you know it' true.
God is glad on bluer moons.
When your room is all you do,
it comes to you.

Oh, my rank ink instrument,
row my boat towards abstinence
with thoughts as long as cigarettes.
Snowed in lips and cross protect.

Oh, that birdlike appetite.
Lo, passive fasts make us contrite?
On silken highways of the night,
the spiders crawl my candlelight,

Where the sun shines in space.
God is dumb, god is great.
But does he love us all the same?
Are we OK?

And I cried out your name
because I loved the sound it made
and because I couldn't wait to see your face.
And nothing ever was the same.

And the stars say, "Look into my eyes."
But I can't change if it's only in my mind.
And I love you but I don't have the right.
And I wanted you so bad tonight.
 
Give me Love, give me Can, give me Meatloaf
Give me Rush, give me Marquee Moon
Michael Ball, or The Fall
I could listen to them all
In the twilight or the afternoon

Irk the purists
Irk the purists
Irk the purists
It’s a right good laugh

Irk the purists
Irk the purists
Irk the purists at the back

Hall & Oates, random Goth, Miles Davis
Patti Smith, Simply Red, Sly Stone
Be they false or for real, I don’t care and nor does Neil
Just so long as we can hear their song

Irk the purists
Irk the purists
it could well be an Olympic sport

Irk the purists
Irk the purists
If you’ve never, then you ought

Husker Du-Du-Du
Captain Beefheart, ELO
Chris de Burgh
Sun Ra
Del Amitri
John Coltrane

Irk the purists
Irk the purists
Come on now boy, you know it feels so right

Irk the purists
Irk the purists
Irk the purists tonight
 
All day long I felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, I went out
And smashed up a phone box round the corner.

I never had a chance to choose my own parents,
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always trying not to eat
And daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze.

I never had a chance to choose my own name,
I'd never know why I should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride
And daddy's always hiding 'bout his week-end rides.

All day long I felt like
Smashing my neck in a clear glass window.
But instead, I went out
And smashed up a station wagon round the block.

I looked at the mirror and told myself,
I'm glad I still don't look like them at least.
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror,
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war.

I went to shake hands with the president in miami,
I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger.
And you'd never believe it, surprise of my life,
They had paint on their faces just like my mommy.

Am I going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am I going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am I plain gone or is it just the world?
Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy.

Trying to talk to them is like eating tv dinner when you're angry,
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry.
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall.

Am I going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am I going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am I plain gone or is it just the world?
Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy.

All day long I felt like
Smashing my head in a clear glass window.
But instead, I went out
And smashed up a churchyard round the corner.
 
Edward come and sit with me,
I fell asleep and now I am afraid.
The sun came up so quick and I
Have always been suspicious of the day.
The dream I had that you were in -
Turned bad and then it finished,
And I am glad to be awake.
And glad,
To be with you,
Cause I feel safe when we're together.

Read to me again
About the King who took
his daughter to the feast.
Tell me how she lifted up her veils
And she laid them at his feet.
Execution in her eyes,
She pointed to her prize, and said,
"I want him to be mine."

And everyone,
Knew the man was going to lose
his head tonight.

I heard a sound,
Across the lawns,
Was like a hoof being taken from a horse.
I understand,
What you describe,
That there are things we don't decide -
They are decided for us.
Still I would trust,
That we are safe when we're together.

Edward, come and tell me,
Are there restaurants on Jericho today?
Look out of the window on St Giles -
Do the palaces remain?
I have woken from a sleep.
I am sure the world is different,
That it's changed.

Edward come and tell me,
Are there restaurants on Jericho today?
I heard a sound,
Across the lawns,
Was like a wave sweeping houses
from the short.
I understand,
what you explain,
That there are things that you believe,
And you think you will see me again.

Still it remains,
That if I could,
I'd string a cord,
RIght from my stomach
Into yours.
I'd stand beside you,
The day you face the tide,
I think I could make it turn around,
Know I could make it go dry.
Cause you and I -
We are safe when we're together.

We are safe when we're together.
We are safe when we're together.
We are safe when we're together.
We are.
 
A thousand cultures stolen ships that came sailing
Sighted from the shoreline people stood waiting
But armies came invading and raiding to conquer
Understood nothing of a land that stood longer
But might was much stronger than right could ever be
Took away the land planned a new destiny
Butchery and murder and still I say murder
Butchery and murder and still I say murder

Wait! Hold up 'cause Phrase will break the mould
Culture growing stronger aging never old
Death accelerating, and I don't want to die
Fish hooked by a ship, Lord take me where I lie
Gone where the lucky ones, disease or suicide
The pride of survivors to cry for those that died
To resurrect the status and overcome the ploy
No bells or beads to barter for this young black boy

Ship ahoy
Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die
Ship ahoy
Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die

Gone are the days now the ships cease to sail
I don't think so what does a wage entail
Nine of five slavery or a twenty four seven
Most slaves tricked by the promise of a heaven
Controlled by the sound of a whip that goes sack
Mind - forged manacles make sure there's no slack
Think your not a slave, 'cause no whip marks your back
Now a bureaucrat wields the nine tails of the cat

Ain't nothing changed but the weather the song remains the same
Hollis comes left set up upon the Lamebrain
You can't tame the beast, the beast can't be changed
Have to smash the system, wisdom rearranged
Slavery claimed to be histories mystery
Wished it could be....It's still part of we
Search and look around my birthplace is torn
But England has fallen dusk negates dawn

Ship ahoy
Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die
Ship ahoy
Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die

Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, now they call it perestroika
Mandela's free but still can't stop the slaughter
Now they call it free trade, free choice for all
But the real freedom is ten per cent small
Freedom is a song which the caged bird sings
They keep the key all we see is the keyring
Fooled by the glisten, but the glisten is not gold
And I will not buy the beads that I'm sold

I stand here stand clear truth be my witness
How many Hitlers before you see the litmus
Test I won't rest, slave who won't behave
And no I want not the freedom of the slave
If the East wants the beast let the beast roam
'Cause in the East the death of the beast was sown
You can fool the people that they're equal
But you won't fool me with a sequel

Ship ahoy
Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die.
Ship ahoy
Lord take me where I lie, don't let my children die.
 
What should I tell her?
She's going to ask
If I ignore it,
it gets uncomfortable
She'll want to argue about the past
Still I think she believes me
Every word I say
I think I'm starting to believe it all myself
Go ask the gentlemen who play it
But hate to pay

And it don't bleed,
And it don't breathe
It's locked its jaws & now it's swallowing
It's in our heart, it's in our heads
It's in our love, baby, it's in our bed

It holds my arms down,
sits upon my chest
It waves its finger at me every night & day
And it don't rest
And it don't breathe and it don't bleed
It's locked its jaws and now it's swallowing
It's all a lie,
It's nearly dead
It's in our hope, baby,
It's in our bed
 
And into the sea goes pretty England and me
Around the Bay of Biscay and back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide and go asleep
And the radio says

THIS IS A LOW
BUT IT WON'T HURT YOU
WHEN YOU ARE ALONE IT WILL BE THERE WITH YOU
FINDING WAYS TO STAY SOLO

On the Tyne forth and Cramity
There's a low in the high forties
And Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough dear
On the Malin head, Blackpool looks blue and red
And the Queen, she's gone round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
And the radio says

And into the sea goes pretty England and me
Around the Bay of Biscay and back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide and go asleep
And the radio says

THIS IS A LOW
BUT IT WON'T HURT YOU
WHEN YOU ARE ALONE IT WILL BE THERE WITH YOU
FINDING WAYS TO STAY SOLO
 
Since you went away
Each day has taught me to say
Well who the hell d'ya think you are?
Where's the point in what you've done?
This joke will run and run
Oh just like you
Are you happy now?
Laughing at the World
 
Just in case I don't make it home tonight
Let me make love to you for the last time, baby
Wanna cherish each moment like the last
Cause baby you're all that I have
So just in case

Think of how we made love almost anywhere
Haven't I taken you almost everywhere
Think of all the things that, that we shared
Then imagine me not there, oh

Giving you more karats than a rabbit
Got you living lavish
Anything I've got, you can have it
Baby I'll do magic
I'll do all I can, to keep you satisfied
So just in case I don't make it home tonight, baby

Repeat 1 (2x)

Haven't I made you feel so special
As your man I've held your hand
Never letting go
Let you hold the keys to the Lex, huh to drive
Give you all you need and more as long as I'm alive

Even from the heavens up above
I'll shine all around
Too much is never enough
Ooh you are all I want
Even when I'm gone, my love will carry on
It's just that strong
So just in case

Repeat 1 (2x)

Baby you know I love you
More than anything in this whole world
You're my anything, my everything
My wife, my queen
So if something happens to me
There's something you need to know.........................



CHEESEVILLE MAKE IT HOME TONITE XX JUST IN CASE
 
On the Fourth of July, 1806
We set sail from the sweet Cobh of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft
She was rigged fore and aft
And oh, how the wild wind drove her
She stood several blasts
She had twenty seven masts
And they called her The Irish Rover

We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stones
We had three million sides of old blind horses hides'
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs
six million dogs
Seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million barrels of old nanny goate tails
In the hold of the Irish Rover

There was awl Mickey Coote
Who played hard on his flute
And the ladies lined up for a set
He would tootle with skill
For each sparkling quadrille
Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
With his smart witty talk
He was cock of the walk
As he rolled the dames under and over
They all knew at a glance
When he took up his stance
That he sailed in The Irish Rover

There was Barney McGee
From the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Johnny McGurk
Who was scared stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole
Who was drunk as a rule
And Fighting Bill Tracy from Dover
And your man, Mick McCann
From the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper of the Irish Rover

For a sailor its' always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
That he longs for the shore
and a charming young whore
Who will melt all his troubles away
Oh, the noise and the rout
Swillin' poiteen and stout
For him soon the torment's over
Of the love of a maid he is never afraid
An old salt from the Irish Rover

We had sailed seven years
When the measles broke out
And the ship lost its way in the fog
And that whale of a crew
Was reduced down to two
Just myself and the Captain's old dog
Then the ship struck a rock
Oh Lord! what a shock
The bulkhead was turned right over
Turned nine times around
And the poor old dog was drowned (1,2,3!)
I'm the last of The Irish Rover
:oops::oops::cool::facepalm:
 
They love the taste of blood
Now I don't know what that means, but I know that I mean it
Maybe they're as evil as they seem
Or maybe I only look out the window when it's scenic
"Atmosphere finally made a good record."
Yeah right, that shit almost sounds convincing
The last time I felt as sick and contradictive as this
Was the last time we played a show in Cinnci'
"Get real." they tell me
If only they knew how real this life really gets
They would stop acting like a silly bitch
They would respect the cock whether or not they believed in it
Doesn't take much and that's messed up
Because these people do a lot of simple shit to impress us
While everyone was trying to out-do the last man
I was just a ghost trying to catch some Mrs. Pac-Man
Hello ma'am, would you be interested
In some sexual positions and emotional investments
See, I'm not insane, in fact I'm kind of rational
When I be askin', "Yo, where did all the passion go?"
East coast, West coast, down South, Midwest
Nowadays everybody knows how to get fresh
Somebody give me a big yes (YES!)
God Bless America, but she stole the B from "Bless" (Accept it)
Now I'm too fucked up to dance
So I'm gonna sit with my hand down the front of my pants
You can't achieve your goals if you don't take that chance
So go pry open that trunk and get those amps (You know!)

In the days of Kings and Queens I was a jester
Treat me like a God, oh they treat me like a leper
You see me move back and forth between both
I'm trying to find a balance
I'm trying to build a balance

So now I keep a close eye on my pets
Because they make most of they moves off of instinct and sense
It's eat, sleep, fuck in self defense
So straight you can set your clocks and place bets
Wait, let's prey on blind, deaf, dumb, dead
Hustle, maybe a couple will love what you said
Emcees drag their feet across a big naked land
With an empty bag of seed and a fake shake of hands
Yeah I got some last words, FUCK ALL OF YOU ALL!
Stop writin' raps and go play volleyball
Gotta journey the world in a hurry
Cause my attorney didn't put enough girls on the jury
Guilty of droppin' these bombs in the city
But I'm innocent, love is the motive that's why you're killing 'em
Guilty of settin' my fire in all fifty
But I'm innocent, blame it on my equilibrium

In the days of Kings and Queens I was a jester
Treat me like a God, oh they treat me like a leper
You see me move back and forth between both
I'm trying to find a balance
I'm trying to build a balance

I gotta find my balance
I gotta find my balance

Now all my friends are famous
It's either one thing or another
They all don't know what my name is
Probably know both of my brothers
The one is a hard workin' savior
The other's a hard workin' soldier
I'm just your next door neighbor
Workin' hard at tryin' to stay sober
You wait for the car at the corner
Pretend like you know what the pot is
Won't quit till I hit California
And make you my Golden State goddess
 
These warehouse wages kill the end's introduction
Man, I shoulda' shchooled it up when I was younger, shoulda' stuck to plan
Always had the dreams of bein' more self-assertive
And my kid's a teenager now, he needs the health insurance
So break my body, break-break my soul down
Just another zombie walkin' blindly through ya ghost town
Pull up to the bar to politic and tap the power
Ain't nobody really all that jolly at your happy hour
But I don't wanna go home yet
So I'ma talk to my cigarette and that television set
It doesn't matter what brand or station
Anything to take away from the current situation
No overtime pay, no holiday
Months behind on everything but the lottery
Winter 'round the corner, guaranteein' that my car dies
Wifey havin' trouble tryna juggle both the part-times
My cup ain't close to filled up
We tryna build up so we could have enough
And when I finally get the color, won't be nothin' else to paint on
A friend of mine tried to kill himself to the same song

My better half is mad at makin' magic outta can goods
My tax bracket status got her questionin' my manhood
My shorty got caught smokin' weed at a concert
And if I smack 'em everybody treats me like a monster
My neighbors ain't doin' much better
And we makin' competition instead of stickin' together
Can't save no nest egg, in fact this nest is rented
In fact that rent is late, wait
The money ain't here, the raise ain't comin'
Just me and my son and that crazy woman
And those bartenders, this whole fuckin' country
Got everybody swallowin' that lunch meat
Maybe we could speed up the process
Kill me in my thirties in the name of progress
Put me in the dirt and then change the topic
Sometimes seems like the only way to stop it
Contemplate my departure date
Doesn't take a lot to get a lot of us to talk this way
Take a shot at me, that's all I'm obligated for
Apparently my only guarantee is a walk-away

The only guarantee in life
Is a life worth dyin' for
Cause death don't wait for no one
It's sittin' on yo front door
 
Well I found a bunch of letters
That were written for the fellow who broke your momma’s heart
And the envelope folds smelled of her ancient perfume
I’ll bet she didn’t know
How to respond before the blankets of snow
Caught him out wandering alone
With no place to go

There were stars in the sky
There were houses on the hill
And there bottles of pills that were easy to buy
To keep her warm from the oncoming storm

Well I found them in the northwest corner of the attic in a box
Labeled tinsel and lights
Didn’t know what I was I looking for
Maybe just a blanket or artifacts
Eisenhower sent him to war
He kept her picture in his pocket that was closest to his heart
And when he hit shore
Must have been a target for the gunman

There were stars in the sky
There were bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to fill
Where he will lie
Shrouded in the red white and blue with the stripes

There were stars in the sky
There were houses on the hill
And there were bottles of pills that were easy to buy
To keep her warm from the oncoming storm
 
Well, show me the way
To the next whisky bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way
To the next whisky bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find
The next whisky bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die

Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whisky, oh, you know why

Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whisky, oh, you know why

Well, show me the way
To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way
To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find
The next little girl
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die

Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whisky, oh, you know why
 
Young boy, you done me bad, I went and did ya wrong
Young boy, you done me bad, I went and did ya wrong
Then I got high, Lord I got high, and I got a bone to pick with you
And I’m sure you know it’s true

Oh one day when you’re looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you’re young you get sad
When your young you get sad, then you get high
Oh man

Young gal you done me bad and I went and did ya wrong
Young gal you done me bad so I went and did ya wrong
Then I got high
Lord, I got high
Now you got a bone to pick with me, but I wish you’d let me be

Oh one day when you’re looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you’re young you get sad
When your young you get sad, then you get high
You get high

Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Then you be high, cause you got sad
Cause you got sad
Oh man
 
I don't know man, Just feels like, we're like in, kinda feels like, we're on a whole different page right now. It feels strange but uh, I guess it's kinda like, it's kinda like...

I feel like I'm morphin, into something that's so incredible that I'm dwarfin, all competitors. Better get your girlfriend in check. It's psychological warfare. Endorphin side affect. His self esteem shatters his dialect. Comes blastin out your deck, "she love's me". Such passion you'd expect this sort of reaction from her. Yet, you strong arm. You're fucken corny. You try to turn your charm on. Cuz you just think your bishop, the Don Juan. But if you think that your fucken with me, homie your on one. I'm cockin my head back like "hey lover, come on son. She's on my johnson. She brings my name up constant." Your boys are like, "She's fucken wit dude. She wants him." Oh boy you better get a clue, she's on my dick cuz I spit better than you. What you expect her to do? How you expect her to act in the sack when she's closing her eyes, fantasizing of digger her nails in my back to this track.

Seduction, seduce
Ain't nobody who's as good at what I do
Cause one minute she loves you, the next she don't
She's been stolen from you
Seduction, seduce
Ain't nobody who's as good at what I do
Cause one minute she loves you, the next she don't
She's been stolen from you

She sitting there gettin liquored up at the bar. She say's it's quicker to count the things that ain't wrong with you than to count the things that are. There's a seven disc cd changer in her car, and I'm in every single slot, and you're not. Aww. I'm the logo on the dallas cowboy helmet. The star, and I'm not about to and just keep rhymin one sylibil. Aww. Switch it up, and watch them haters not give it up cuz ya just not good enough. Well I'm not giving up til I get my respect, and I wont stop til I get enough, cuz I'm not livin up to my own expectations. Aww. That hater alarm is soundin off, that Obama took the bomb from my name. Aww. So quit cryin that I took your dame, homie she's my dame. Aww. You sadly mistakin if you thinkin that I'm not on my game, boy. And thangs just ain't been the same since the day that I came forth. You wear your heart on your sleeve. I sport that white tank boy. But you got a hard on for me. What you hollerin my name for. It's your bitch on my dick. Ain't my dang fault. Man, I can't call it.

Seduction, seduce
Ain't nobody who's as good at what I do
Cause one minute she loves you, the next she don't
She's been stolen from you
Seduction, seduce
Ain't nobody who's as good at what I do
Cause one minute she loves you, the next she don't
She's been stolen from you

It's like I'm playing lyrical tug of war with your ear. You hear it girl, come here. Put your ear up to the speaker, dear, while I freak this world premier. Seducin her. Loosin up with a little freestyle. By the way, am I losing you? Am I makin you look bad? Well I got news for ya, homie, ya losin her. Oh wait, she don't like when I spit it fast. Am I trying to show her how? Let me slow it down some. It's still gonna be a blow out. You're gonna wanna throw out your whole album. Might mist through the shit, and try to salvage something to see if you can save any of it, punk but none of it's fucken with me. Prick, you really feeling that bullshit? You think you killin them syllibals. Quit playing. These beats ain't nothin to fool with. They call me Fire Marshall. I shut the shit down. Your entire arsenal is not enough to fuck with one round. I am also the opposite of wht you are like. You are microcosm of what the fuck I am on the mike. I am awesome and you are just aww struck. She's love stricken. She's got her jaw stuck, from sucken my dick. Aww Fuck.

So don't you seduce. Ain't nobody holds a scoop at what I do. Cuz one minute she wants you, the next she don't. She's been stolen from you. So don't you seduce at what I do. Cuz one minute she wants you, the next she don't. She's been stolen from you...

So don't you seduce. Ain't nobody holds a scoop at what I do. Cuz one minute she wants you, the next she don't. She's been stolen from you. So don't you seduce at what I do. Cuz one minute she wants you, the next she don't. She's been stolen from you.
 
There's no saving anything
Now we're swallowing the shine of the summer
There's no saving anything
How we swallow the sun

But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I wont be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?

We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead

Throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight

What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We got another thing coming undone

But I won't be no runaway
Cause i wont run
No I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run

No I won't be no runaway
But what makes you think im enjoying being led to the flood?
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over

We don't bleed when we dont fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight

We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight

What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We got another thing coming undone
We got another thing coming undone
And it's taking forever

I'll go braving everything
With you swallowing the shine of the summer
I'll go braving everything
Through the shine of the sun

But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run

No I won't be no runaway
What makes you think im enjoying being led to the flood?
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over
We dont bleed and we dont fight

Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We dont bleed when we dont fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight

What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We got another thing coming undone
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over

And it's taking forever
 
Leave your home
Change your name
Live alone
Eat your cake

Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Though the water's a-rising
Still no surprising you
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Man, it's all been forgiven
Swans are a-swimmin'
I'll explain everything to the geeks

All the very best of us string ourselves up for love
All the very best of us string ourselves up for love
All the very best of us string ourselves up for love
All the very best of us string ourselves up for love

Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Though the water's a-rising
Still no surprising you
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Man, it's all been forgiven
Swans are a-swimmin'
I'll explain everything to the geeks

Hanging from
Chandeliers
Same small world
At your heels

All the very best of us string ourselves up for love
All the very best of us string ourselves up for love
All the very best of us string ourselves up for love
All the very best of us string ourselves up for love

Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Though the water's a-rising
There's still no surprising you
Vanderlyle crybaby cry
Man, it's all been forgiven
The swans are a-swimmin'
I'll explain everything to the geeks

I'll explain everything to the geeks

I'll explain everything to the geeks
 
Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To...) Lyrics

You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you preach
Screw my brain till it hurts
You've taken all my money
And you want more
Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules
With your narrow minded cronies
Who are fools of the first division
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart of your own
Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry
You're just an old barrow boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide?
(I think you should)
Is your conscience all right
Does it plague you at night?
Do you feel good feel good?

You talk like a big business tycoon
You're just a hot air balloon
So no one gives you a damn
You're just an overgrown schoolboy
Let me tan your hide
A dog with disease
You're the king of the 'sleaze'
Put your money where your mouth is
Mister know-all
Was the fin on your back
Part of the deal? (Shark)
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart (you never did) of your own
(Right from the start)
Insane you should be put inside
You're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null and void
Make me feel good I feel good
