Ian Brown-Dolphins Were Monkeys

 

I could be the next to see

That there'll be nobody there

If you feel excited throw your hands into the air

No one can judge you baby

That don't live your life

I need the resistance

Held by your astrological sign

Now I'm caught in the middle

You're next to me

I swim with the fishes

You come from the sea

The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land

Walked back to the water

Went back from the sand

The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land

Should I be walking the beach

Then I'd be holding your hand

I could be the next to see

That there'll be nobody there

If you feel excited throw your hands into the air

No one can judge you baby

That don't live your life

I need the resistance

Held by your astrological sign

So now I'm caught in the middle

You're next to me

I swim with the fishes

You come from the sea

The dolphins were monkeys

That didn't like the land

Should I be walking the beach

I'll be holding your hand (yeaaaa)

If you feel excited throw your hands into the air

If you feel excited

Throw your hands into the air

No one can judge you baby

That don't live your life

I need the resistance

Held by your astrological sign

[M. (hristine]

This is what makes me nuts: when I read fantastic lyrics, but have no idea whose they are! Can't you folks please credit the band/ artist?

 

kidsmoke would love you for it, and perhaps mail you candy. You just never know!

Will kidsmoke also come over and fill in the blanks on the grocery list?

[kidsmoke]

Will kidsmoke also come over and fill in the blanks on the grocery list?

 

Didn't kidsmoke already do that? Oh, put anchovy paste and turmeric on there too, willya? And some of those little gummi bears I like.

[M. (hristine]

kidsmoke already put anchovies on the grocery list.

 

Turmeric and gummi bears added straight away!

[kidsmoke]

kidsmoke already put anchovies on the grocery list.

 

Turmeric and gummi bears added straight away!

 

We're going to be needing anchovies and anchovy paste. Now could somebody please get this back on topic? I have no lyrics to share at this moment, although I can head us in the right direction by quoting you the Ketchup Poem:

 

Shake shake shake

the ketchup bottle

None'll come,

and then a lot'll

The seasons they are turnin' and my sad heart is yearnin'

To hear again the songbird's sweet melodious tone

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

 

The dusky light, the day is losing

Orchids, poppies, black-eyed Susan

The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

 

The air is thick and heavy

All along the levee

Where the geese into the countryside have flown

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

 

Well, I'm preachin' peace and harmony

The blessings of tranquility

Yet I know when the time is right to strike

I'll take you 'cross the river dear

You've no need to linger here

I know the kinds of things you like

 

The clouds are turnin' crimson

The leaves fall from the limbs an'

The branches cast their shadows over stone

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

 

The boulevards of cypress trees

The masquerades of birds and bees

The petals, pink and white, the wind has blown

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

 

The trailing moss and mystic glow

Purple blossoms soft as snow

My tears keep flowing to the sea

Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief

It takes a thief to catch a thief

For whom does the bell toll for, love? It tolls for you and me

 

My pulse is runnin' through my palm

The sharp hills are rising from

The yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

 

 

Moonlight - Bob Dylan

[embiggen]

I was waiting on a moment

But the moment never came

All the billion other moments

Were just slipping all away

I must have been tripping

Just ego tripping

 

I was wanting you to love me

But your love it never came

All the other love around me

Was just wasting all away

I must have been tripping

Just ego tripping

 

I was waiting on a moment

But the moment never came -

But the moment never came -

[Doug]

Why should I want to know his name?

What difference does it make?

You know I tried dead hard to keep away, I just had to call again

Where did you go last night?

Oh, what's that new place like?

Okay, I won't ask anymore questions and then you cannot tell me lies

 

Well they always need good men

They're crying out for them

It's not the sort of job I'd do myself, but then I'm not him

Oh, he buys you pretty things

And what does your mother think?

I just can't bear to imagine you sharing a bed with him

 

 

Tell me why should I be upset?

Some kid I've never met

We better sort this out before I go and say something I'll regret

No, I'm sure it suits him

I'm not trying to be anything

Before I leave I want you to give my love to Kevin

 

"Give My Love to Kevin"--The Wedding Present

[embiggen]

the crickets cry tonight

here comes your girl

the showers fall tonight

it's a rainy world

the shivers on the spine

could be what we had in mind

remember all the times we said

we could be we should be in love

 

on a windy porch tonight

here comes your girl

beneath the dull porch light

your thoughts will curl

as the women and the man

go to where the romance ends

the voice from up above says

we could be we should be in love

 

my disgusting habits end

it's a crazy world

neither real nor pretend

and there's your girl

my eyes fall from my head

with all the pages read

and i'm so glad you said

we could be we should be in love

Damien Jurado - Tether

 

Come oh come, come away Heather

Who is the boy that you keep by your arm?

He drags a calf around by a tether

Who is the boy that you keep by your arm?

 

I must say he looks not familiar

Is he a stranger from some other town?

The town folks say he looks quite peculiar

[Elixir Sue]

Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart

Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

 

Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same

The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake

as the children of the sun began to awake

 

Seems that the wrath of the Gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;

I think I might be sinking

 

Throw me a line if I reach it in time

I'll meet you up there where the path

Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,

 

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.

 

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,

Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

[embiggen]

You say you don't love me

Well that's alright with me 'cos I'm in love with you

And I wouldn't want you doing things you don't want to do

Oh you know I've always wanted you to be in love with me

And it took so long to realize the way things have to be

I wanted to live in a dream that couldn't be real

And I'm starting to understand now the way that you feel

You say you don't

You say you don't

 

You say you don't love me

Well that's alright with me 'cos I have got the time

To wait in case someday you maybe change your mind

I've decided not to make the same mistakes this time around

As I'm tired of having heartaches I've been thinking and I've found

I don't want to live in a dream I want something real

And I think I understand now the way that you feel

You say you don't

You say you don't

You say you don't

You say you don't

You say you don't

 

You say you don't love me

Well that's alright with me I'm not in love with you

I just want us to do the things we both want to do

Though I've got this special feelin' I'd be wrong to call it love

For the word entails a few things that I would be well rid of

I've no need to live in a dream it's finally real

And I hope you now understand this feeling I feel

You say you don't

You say you don't

You say you don't love me

You say you don't love me

You say you don't love me

Mmm

 

You say you don't love me-Buzzcocks

A Thousand Tiny pieces - Be Good Tanyas cover

 

Just play this one out out

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes

One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies.

 

Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same

You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need, yeah

 

Clutching pages from your teenage dream In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise

Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast your learn the downhill side

 

Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same

You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,.

 

Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, Come on, flash it in my eyes

Said you dug me since you were thirteen,Then you giggle as you heave and sigh.

 

Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same

You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need.

 

Hours, hours, and the moments in between, Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times

the fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes

 

Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same

You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,

 

Ooh, that's right.

[Dude]

Well, you win, it's your show, now

So what's it gonna be?

'Cause people will tune in

How many train wrecks do we need to see?

Before we lose touch of

We thought this was low

Well, it's bad, getting worse so

 

Where'd all the good people go?

I've been changing channels

I don't see them on the TV shows

Where'd all the good people go?

We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

 

They got this and that

With a rattle'l'tat

Testin', 1, 2

Man, what you gonna do

Bad news, misused

Got too much to lose

Gimme some truth

Now whose side are we on?

Whatever you say, turn on the boobtube

I'm in the mood to obey

So lead me astray, and by the way now

 

Where'd all the good people go?

I've been changing channels

I don't see them on the TV shows

Where'd all the good people go?

We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

 

Sitting around, feeling far away

So far away, but I can feel the debris

 

Can you feel it?

You interrupt me from a friendly conversation

To tell me how great it's all gonna be

 

You might notice some hesitation

Cause it's important to you, it's not important to me

But way down by the edge of your reason

Well, it's beginning the show

And all I really wanna know is

 

Where'd all the good people go?

I've been changing channels

I don't see them on the TV shows

Where'd all the good people go?

We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

 

(Where'd all the good people go?)

They got this and that

With a rattle'l'tat

Testin', 1, 2

Man, what you gonna do

Bad news, misused

Gimme some truth

You got too much to lose

Now whose side are we on

But everyday anyway, ok whatever you say

(where'd all the good people go?)

 

Wrong or resolute, I'm in the mood to obey

Station through station

Desensitizing the nation

 

Where'd all the people go?

 

Going, going, gone

[Analogman]

Ah let me, let me

Let me be your Sunday driver

Let me be your Monday man

I'll take you anywhere you want

Just as fast as I can

 

It doesn't matter what you wanna do

It doesn't matter where you wanna go

Just gotta decide girl and then you let me know

 

Oh, did you ever want lovin', so you're callin'

Up your baby and she's stallin' with the neighbors

And the night keeps gettin' longer

And the urge keeps getting stronger

So your tryin and your dyin' and you're wonderin' does she love you

A knock comes at your door

Let me in honey

 

Let me

Let me be your Tuesday taxi

Let me be your Wednesday boy

I'll be your lovin' man

You'll be my bundle of joy

And oh

It doesn't matter what you wanna do

It doesn't matter where you wanna go

You just gotta decide girl and then you let me know

hey citrus

hey liquor

I love it when when you touch each other

hey whiskey

hey ginger

I come to you with rigid fingers.

 

i see judas in the hard eyes of the boys working the corners.

i feel jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers.

 

hey barroom

hey tavern

I find hope in all the souls you gather.

hey citrus

hey liquor

I love it when we come together.

 

I feel jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers.

I feel judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners.

I feel jesus in the tenderness of honest nervous lovers.

I feel judas in the pistols and the pagers that come with all the powders.

 

lost in fog and love and faithless fear.

I've had kisses that make Judas seem sincere.

 

Hold Steady - Citrus

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Driftin' upward

Gently lifting

Lazy on the wind

 

Rollin' over

Turnin' slowly

Beginning and the end

 

Fire is bright

Fire is clean

Never so alive

 

Smoke is freedom

Flame is mercy

I am free tonight

 

And I burn

I burn

 

Stoke the embers

Cleanse the spirit

A prayer in every spark

 

Feel the lick of

Bad religion

The finish and the start

 

In the beginning

We were smarter

'n flame was heaven-sent

 

Through the ages

We got stupid

Now we must repent

 

And I burn

I burn

 

Save the ashes

For reminders

Stony things remain

 

Tooth and bone

unimpressive

I have left these things

 

Because fire is bright

Fire is clean

efficient and divine

 

Tooth and bone

Charms and dolls

I am free tonight

 

I BURN

THE AIR

YOU BREATHE

 

I BURN

THE AIR

YOU BREATHE

 

I BURN

THE AIR

YOU BREATHE

 

I burn

I burn

I burn

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

It's no secret we're close - as sweaty velcro

like latex fur and feathers - stuck together

 

Now - in their '62 vette - sharing one cigarette

in a black light trance then - go go dance - then

go go trance - then

 

They keep me warm on cold nights - it must be quite a sight

in our meat triangle - all tangled - wow

 

My girlfriend's girlfriend - she looks like - you

my girlfriend's girlfriend - she's my girl - too

 

Her and me and her and she and me - an uncrowded couple are we

three

hey we don't care - what people say - when walking hand in hand

down kings highway

two for one today

 

My girlfriend's girlfriend - she looks like - you

my girlfriend's girlfriend - she's my girl - too

 

My girlfriend's girlfriend - she looks like - you

my girlfriend's girlfriend - she's my girl

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

I hear you talking when I'm on the street,

Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.

What's the matter with the boy?

He don't come around no more,

Is he checking out for sure?

Is he gonna close the door on me?

And I'm always hearing voices on the street,

I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak.

I was making love last night

To a dancer friend of mine.

I can't seem to stay in step,

'Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed.

Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed.

Heading for the overload,

Splattered on the dusty road,

Kick me like you've kicked before,

I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene.

Feel so mesmerized all that inside me.

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.

Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.

Headed for the overload,

Splattered on the dirty road,

Kick me like you've kicked before,

I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

[Elixir Sue]

Drag him out your window

Dragging out the dead

Singing I miss you

Snakes and ladders

Flip the lid

Out pops the cracker

Snaps you in the head

Knifes you in the neck

Kicks you in the teeth

Steel toe caps

Takes all your credit cards

Get up get the gunge

Get the eggs

Get the flan in the face

The flan in the face

The flan in the face

Dance you fucker dance you fucker

Don't you dare

Don't you dare

Don't you flan in the face

Take it with the love, it's given

Take it with a pinch of salt

Take it to the taxman

Let me back let me back

I promise to be good

Don't look in the mirror

At the face you don't recognize

Help me, call the doctor

Put me inside

Put me inside

Put me inside

Put me inside

Put me inside

 

I keep the wolf from the door

But he calls me up

Calls me on the phone

Tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up

Steal all my children

If I don't pay the ransom

And I'll never see 'em again

If I squeal to the cops

 

No...

Walking like giant cranes and

With my X-ray eyes I stripped her naked

In a tight little world and are you on the list?

Stepford wives who are we to complain?

Investments and dealers investments and dealers

Cold wives and mistresses

Cold wives and sunday papers.

City boys in first class

Don't know they're born, they know

Someone else is gonna come and clean it up

Born and raised for the job

Someone always does

I wish you'd get up get over get up get over

Turn your tape off.

 

I keep the wolf from the door

But he calls me up

Calls me on the phone

Tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up

Steal all my children

If I don't pay the ransom

And I'll never see 'em again

If I squeal to the cops

 

So I just go...

[Analogman]

You will search, babe,

At any cost.

But how long, babe,

Can you search for what's not lost?

Ev'rybody will help you,

Some people are very kind.

But if I can save you any time,

Come on, give it to me,

I'll keep it with mine.

 

I can't help it

If you might think I'm odd,

If I say I'm not loving you for what you are

But for what you're not.

Everybody will help you

Discover what you set out to find.

But if I can save you any time,

Come on, give it to me,

I'll keep it with mine.

 

The train leaves

At half past ten,

But it'll be back tomorrow,

Same time again.

The conductor he's weary,

He's still stuck on the line.

But if I can save you any time,

Come on, give it to me,

I'll keep it with mine.
