one song

[greg]

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream

Sold my coat when I hit Spokane

Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain

Lately my hands they don't feel like mine

My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind

Held you in my arms one time

Lost you just the same

Jolene

I ain't about to go straight

It's too late

I found myself face down in the ditch

Booze on my hair

Blood on my lips

A picture of you, holding a picture of me

in the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means

Still don't know what love means

Jolene

Ah, La, La, La, La, La

Jolene

Been so long since I seen your face

or felt a part of this human race

I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long

A man needs something he can hold onto

A nine pound hammer or a woman like you

Either one of them things will do

Jolene

I ain't about to go straight

It's too late

I found myself face down in the ditch

Booze in my hair

Blood on my lips

A picture of you, holding a picture of me

In the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means

Still don't know what love means

Jolene

La, La, La, La, La, La, La

Jolene

La, La, La, La, La, La, La

Jolene

[solace]

That's where you rule me

Girl you've to only whisper to me

And this whole world

The beat in my heart is

The thing that we walk in

He's always waiting

So we never argue

No never do we

'Cause maybe you want him

Like you want me

Only truly

 

Oh make it easy

Either you want him

Or you want me

Baby believe me

Holly and Roger,

Marcus and Julie

It's love in the movies

Seeing what you see

Quiet and ruley

That's the way you rule me

And the whole world

Can see through me

 

And you want him

And you want him

And you want him

And you want him

[timbits]

The evening fell just like a star

Left a trail behind

You spit as you slammed out the door

If this is love we're crazy

As we fight like cats and dogs

But I just know there's got to be more

 

So please call me, baby

Wherever you are

It's too cold to be out walking in the streets

We do crazy things when we're wounded

Everyone's a bit insane

I don't want you catching your death of cold

Out walking in the rain

 

I admit that I ain't no angel

I admit that I ain't no saint

I'm selfish and I'm cruel and I'm blind

If I exorcise my devils

Well my angels may leave too

When they leave they're so hard to find

 

So please call me, baby

Wherever you are

It's too cold to be out walking in the streets

We do crazy things when we're wounded

Everyone's a bit insane

I don't want you catching your death of cold

Out walking in the rain

 

We're always at each other's throats

It drives me up the wall

Most of the time I'm just blowing off steam

And I wish to God you'd leave me

And I wish to God you'd stay

Life's so different than it is in your dreams

 

So please call me, baby

Wherever you are

It's too cold to be out walking in the streets

We do crazy things when we're wounded

Everyone's a bit insane

I don't want you catching your death of cold

Out walking in the rain

[Dude]

Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine

With a smile on your face

And a tear right in your eye.

Oh, couldn't see to get a line on you

My sweet honey love.

Berber jewelry jangling down the street,

Make you shut your eyes at every woman that you meet.

Could not seem to get high on you

My sweet honey love.

 

May the good lord

Shine a light on you,

Make every song you sing

Your favorite tune.

May the good lord

Shine a light on you,

Warm like the evening sun.

 

When you're drunk in the alley, baby,

With your clothes all torn

And your late night friends leave you

In the cold gray dawn.

Whoa, just seemed too many flies on you,

I just can't brush them off.

 

Angels beating all their wings in time,

With smiles on their faces

and a gleam right in their eyes.

Thought I heard one sigh for you,

Come on up, come on up now,

Come on up now, now,

 

May the good lord

Shine a light on you,

Make every song you sing

Your favorite tune.

May the good lord

Shine a light on you,

Warm like the evening sun.

[Mr. Heartbreak]

Some people's hot

Some people's cold

Some people's not very

Swift to behold

Some people do it

Some see right through it

Some wear pyjamas

If only they knew it

 

The pyjamas people are boring me to pieces

They make me feel like I am wasting my time

They all got flannel up 'n down 'em

A little trap-door back aroun' 'em

An' some cozy little footies on their mind

 

Po-jama people!

Po-jama people, people!

Lawd, they make you sleepy

With the things they might say

Po-jama people!

Po-jama people, people!

Mother, Mary 'n Jozuf, I wish they'd all go away!

 

Po-jama people!

It's a po-jama people special...

Take one home with you & save a dollar today

Po-jama people!

Po-jama people, people!

Wrap 'em up

Roll 'em out

Get 'em out of my way

[bobbob1313]

try and tell us our future's at stake

we're gonna slam dance on your grave

cause we don't give a shit about tomorrow

 

you say we're a bunch of lazy bums

we just wanna act stupid and have some fun

cause we don't give a shit about tomorrow

 

hey suburbia, hey suburbia, hey suburbia

we're in love with you

 

we won't end up like you want us to be

but so what 'cause we're always gonna be happy

cause we don't give a shit about tomorrow

but we're just gonna give you a big wet kiss

cause we don't give a shit about tomorrow

 

hey suburbia, hey suburbia, hey suburbia

we're in love with you

[timbits]

Love ridden, I've looked at you

With the focus I gave to my birthday candles

I've wished on the lidded blue flames

Under your brow

And baby, I wished for you

 

Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed

And I wanna crawl in with you, but I cry instead

I want your warmth, but it will only make

Me colder when it's over

So I can't tonight, baby

 

No, not 'baby' anymore - if I need you

I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

 

My hand won't hold you down no more

The path is clear to follow through

I stood too long in the way of the door

And now I'm giving up on you...

 

No, not 'baby' anymore - if I need you

I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

[Dude]

When I met you in the restaurant

You could tell I was no debutante

You asked me what's my pleasure

A movie or a measure?

I'll have a cup of tea

And tell you of my dreaming

Dreaming is free

Dreaming

Dreaming is free

 

I don't want to live on charity

Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?

Reel to reel is living rarity

People stop and stare at me

We just walk on by

We just keep on dreaming

Dreaming is free

Dreaming

Dreaming is free

 

Feet feet, walking a two mile

Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile

I never met him, I'll never forget him

 

Dream dream, even for a little while

Dream dream, filling up an idle hour

Fade away, radiate

 

I sit by and watch the river flow

I sit by and watch the traffic go

Imagine something of your very own

Something you can have and hold

I'd build a road in gold

Just to have some dreaming

Dreaming is free

Dreaming

Dreaming is free

Dreaming

Dreaming is free

[Dude]

I'm the man on the mountain, come on up.

I'm the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud.

Yes, I'm fumbling and I know my car don't start.

Yes, I'm stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar.

 

Give me little drink from your loving cup.

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.

 

I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun.

I'm the man that brings you roses when you ain't got none.

Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won't fight

You if you want to push and pull with me all night.

 

Give me little drink from you loving cup.

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.

 

I feel so humble with you tonight,

Just sitting in front of the fire.

See your face dancing in the flame,

Feel your mouth kissing me again,

What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz,

What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.

Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.

 

Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn,

But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn.

 

Give me little drink from your loving cup.

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.

five state-school lots / five girls at cost / that thing we know / the whole township lost / but // maybe it's love / maybe run luck / I'll man the bed / (and) hammer out love [i think that's what it was]

 

snow scenes level lonely bastards

 

eight feet of earth / the whole thing suddenly worth / faster gun

main motor down / and no shot left at the crown / faster gun

 

black jetty rock / rock splitter's shot / saddle creek stars / I miss them a lot / but // cable-car heights / cable snaps right / each devil out / out finding fights

[Elixir Sue]

It was written that I would love you

From the moment I opened my eyes

And the morning when I first saw you

Gave me life under calico skies.

 

I will hold you for as long as you like

I

[bobbob1313]

Yeah there's this girl I'm thinking of but she don't think of me like I think of her

And there's this girl I'm thinking and sometimes I don't think she thinks of me at all

And my friends say I'm acting like a fool

they say this girl ain't she half the jewel I think she is

But when I look at her all I see is

Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect teeth, and her red-wine lips

she's got crazy burnin' hips running down down down her sides

and oh no she doesn't know i'm alive

I see her, on the bus, and I try to think of something for us to discuss

my tongue is tied, my mouth is dry, it's a scene I die when I try describe

all these nights when O try to fall asleep, she takes up 150,000 sheep... what am I gonna do?

Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect teeth, and her red-wine lips

she's got crazy burnin' hips running down her sides

and oh no she doesn't know i'm alive

[Dude]

Ooooh yeah

 

Babies think I'm tasty

They're always tryin' to waste me

Make me burn the candle right down,

Baby, baby,

Don't need no jewels in my crown.

 

All you women is low down gamblers,

Cheatin' like I don't know how,

Baby, I'm goin' crazy,

Fever in the funk house now.

Low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin',

Don't you know you know the duece is still a' wild?

 

Baby, can't stay,

You got to roll me

And call me the tumblin' dice.

 

Always in a hurry,

I never stop to worry,

Don't you see time flashin' by?

Honey, got no money, I'm all

Sixes and sevens and nines.

Say now baby, I'm the rank outsider,

You can be my partner in crime.

 

Baby, can't stay,

You got to roll me and call me the tumblin'

Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice.

 

Oh, my, my, my,

I'm the lone crap shooter,

Playin' the field ev'ry night.

 

Baby, can't stay,

You got to roll me and call me the tumblin'

Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice

Got to roll me,

[Guest baseball bobblehead]

Will you comfort me, in my time of need?

Can you take away the pain of a hurtful deeds?

Cause when we need it most, there's no rain at all

And the dust just settles right there on the feed

 

Will you say to me a little rains gonna come

When the sky can't offer none to me

Cause I will come for you

When my days are through

And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

 

Cause when the calm comes down

I take the truck on into town

And buy whatever we can't seem to grow

I work these hands to bleed cause I got mouths to feed

And I got 15 dollars hid above the stove

 

Will you say to me a little rains gonna come

When the sky can't offer none to me

Cause I will come for you

When my days are through

And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

 

Cause it ain't like it was on back in those days

When everyone would offer up a hand

These old bones are worn

I've grown tired some

And I know my time is surely gonna come

 

Will you comfort me in my time of need

Can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds

Cause I will comfort you when my days are through

And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

 

Lord we married young and stayed where we came from

And gave those children everything we had

Will you stay with me, in my time of need?

Though it seems we had such little time for us

 

Will you say to me a little rains gonna come

When the sky can't offer none to me

Cause I will come for you

When my days are through

And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

Back when you actually believed Mick and the boys meant it.

 

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields

Sold in a market down in New Orleans

Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright

Hear him whip the women just around midnight

 

Brown sugar how come you taste so good?

Brown sugar just like a young girl should

 

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot

Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop

House boy knows that he's doing alright

You shoulda heard him just around midnight

 

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?

Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now

 

Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?

When it comes right down to the heart of the matter, you can't beat a song about transvestites and english schoolboys

 

I met her in a club down in old Soho

Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola

See-oh-el-aye cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance

I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola

El-oh-el-ay Lola la-la-la-la Lola

 

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy

But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand

Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

 

Well we drank champagne and danced all night

Under electric candlelight

She picked me up and sat me on her knee

And said dear boy won't you come home with me

Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy

But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola

La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

 

I pushed her away

I walked to the door

I fell to the floor

I got down on my knees

Then I looked at her and she at me

 

Well that's the way that I want it to stay

And I always want it to be that way for my Lola

La-la-la-la Lola

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls

It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola

La-la-la-la Lola

 

Well I left home just a week before

And I'd never ever kissed a woman before

But Lola smiled and took me by the hand

And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

 

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man

But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man

And so is Lola

La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

This is my five string serenade

Beneath the water I play

And while I'm playing for you

It could be raining there too

 

This is my five string serenade

Beneath the water I play

And while I'm playing for you

It could be raining there too

 

And on my easel I drew

While I was thinking of you

And on the roof of my head

In came my five string serenade

 

This is my five string serenade

Beneath the water I play

And while I'm playing for you

And on the roof of my head

[Elixir Sue]

This is my five string serenade

[Mr. Heartbreak]

Sun went down looking like the eye of God

Behind icy mist and stark bare trees

Inside the dim empty cinema two guys in leather jackets

Glance at each other and shiver

"They never built these places with winter in mind"

Out the window down the gray road

You can see old walled monastery

Now become a barracks for the paramilitary police

 

I saw an old lady's face once on a Japanese train

Half lit, rich with soft luminosity

She was dozing straight upright head bobbing almost imperceptibly

Wheels were playing fast in 9/8 time

Her husband's friendly face suddenly folded up in a sneeze

Across the straight a volcano flew a white smoke flag of surrender

 

In a Roman street on a full moon night

I was sick and there was a young cop in a circle of yellow light

As we drew near he snapped the safety off his machine pistol

And slid a trembling finger to the trigger

I wanted to say something calming but couldn't catch his eye

He didn't want contact -- he was trained to see movement

"Well don't shoot me, man, I'm a graceful slow dancer

I'm just a dream to you, not real at all"

 

I wonder if I'll end up like Bernie in his dream

A displaced person in some foreign border town

Waiting for a train part hope part myth

While the station changes hands

Or just sitting at home growing tenser with the times

Or like that guy in "The Seventh Seal"

Watching the newly dead dance across the hills

Or wearing this leather jacket shivering with a friend

While the eye of God blazes at us like the sun...

[M. (hristine]

Sky cracks open, walls falling to the floor

Just as well to keep it, a guessing game in store

 

You're with me now, will be again

All other points in between

 

And the cruel, cruel mornings

Have turned to days of swim or sink

 

If living right is easy, what goes wrong

You're causing it to drown

Didn't want to turn that way

You're causing it to drown

Doesn't make a difference now

You're causing it to drown

Silence knows, can't drown a heart

 

Happenstance is falling through the cracks each day

Too close now to change it

Fool's gold is lighter anyway

 

When in doubt, move on, no need to sort it out

You're with me now, will be again

All other points in between

 

And I want to find the right side of you

If living right is easy, what goes wrong

You're causing it to drown

Didn't want to turn that way

You're causing it to drown

Doesn't make a difference now

You're causing it to drown

Silence knows, can't drown a heart

 

When in doubt, move on, no need to sort it out

You're with me now, will be again

All other points in between

 

And I want to find the right side of you

If living right is easy, what goes wrong

You're causing it to drown

Didn't want to turn that way

You're causing it to drown

Doesn't make a difference now

You're causing it to drown

Silence knows, can't drown a heart

[mjpuczko]

one of my fave DBT songs:

 

You want to grow up to paint houses like me, a trailer in my yard till you're 23

You want to be old after 42 years, keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears

 

Well, I used to go out in a Mustang, a 302 Mach One in green.

Me and your Mama made you in the back and I sold it to buy her a ring.

And I learned not to say much of nothing and I figured you already know

but in case you don

[jimmyjimmy]

The Geese of Beverly Road

 

We'll take ourselves out in the street

And wear the blood in our cheeks

Like red roses

We'll go from car to sleeping car

And whisper in their sleeping ears

We were here, we were here

We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road

 

Hey, love, we'll get away with it

We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius

Hey, love, we'll get away with it

We'll run like we're awesome

 

We won't be disappointed

We'll fight like girls for our place at the table

Our room on the floor

We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road

 

Hey, love, we'll get away with it

We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius

Hey, love, we'll get away with it

We'll run like we're awesome

 

We're the heirs to the glimmering world

[repeat]

 

We're drunk and sparking, our legs are open

Our hands are covered in cake

But I swear we didn't have any

I swear we didn't have any

 

Hey, love, we'll get away with it

We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius

Hey, love, we'll get away with it

We'll run like we're awesome

 

We're the heirs to the glimmering world

[repeat]

 

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

Serve me the sky tonight

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon

 

We're the heirs to the glimmering world

[repeat]

 

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

Serve me the sky tonight

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon

[cryptique]

Across the evening sky

All the birds are leaving

But how can they know

It's time for them to go?

Before the winter fire

I will still be dreaming

I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?

Who knows where the time goes?

 

Sad deserted shore

your fickle friends are leaving

Ah, then you know

It's time for them to go

But I will still be here

I have no thought of leaving

You know I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?

Who knows where the time goes?

 

And I am not alone

While my love is near me

I know it will be so

Until it's time to go

So come the storms of winter

And then the birds in spring again

I do not fear the time

For who knows where the time goes?

Who knows where the time goes?

[Analogman]

You don't have to look at me

You don't have to smile at me

You just have to love me till the sun shines

You don't have to cook for me

You don't have to laugh with me

You just have to love me till the sun shines

 

Take my money, I don't mind

You can be such a helpless kind[?]

You just have to love me till the sun shines

 

You don't have to sleep with me

Or rest your head upon my knee

You just have to love me till the sun shines

Baby you can wear my clothes,

Play my records, stay at my home

Long as you just love me till the sun shines

 

You can take it, I don't mind

Please don't be such a helpless kind

You just have to love me till the sun shines

 

Baby, baby I don't know what I'm doing

Everything I do it turns to ruin[?]

 

Baby you can kiss my friends

Baby there's nothing that I'll end[?]

Long as you just love me till the sun shines

You don't have to walk the streets

When there's someone waiting here

Come on, baby, love me till the sun shines

 

Come on, baby, I don't mind

Two lonely people, the helpless kind[?]

Come on, baby, love me till the sun shines

 

You don't have to look at me

You don't have to smile at me

You just have to love me till the sun shines

You don't have to cook for me

You don't have to laugh with me

You just have to love me till the sun shines

 

Take my money, I don't mind

You can be such a helpless kind[?]

You just have to love me till the sun shine
