one song

[mountain bed]

The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree

And the simple act of an oar's stroke

Put diamonds in the sea

And all because of the phosphorous there in quantity

As I dug you digging me in Mexico

 

There in the Valley of Scorpio, beneath the cross of jade

Smoking on a seashell pipe the gypsies had made

We sat, and we dreamed awhile of smugglers bringing wine

In that crystal thought time in Mexico

 

Sitting in a chair of bamboo, sipping grenadine

Straining my eyes for a surfacing submarine

Kingdoms of ants walk across my feet

I'm a-shakin' in my seat in Mexico

 

Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night

Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight

Watching a black-eyed native girl cut and trim the lamp

Valentino vamp in Mexico

 

The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree

And the simple act of an oar's stroke

Put diamonds in the sea

And all because of the phosphorous there in quantity

As I dug you digging me in Mexico

[froggie]

From father to son

The blood runs thin

See faces frozen still

Against the wind

 

The seam is split

The coal face cracked

The lines are long

There's no going back

Through hands of steel

And heart of stone

Our labour day

Has come and gone

 

Yeah you leave me holding on

In Red Hill Town

See lights go down, I'm...

 

Hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

I'm still waiting

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

 

The glass is cut

The bottle run dry

Our love runs cold

In the caverns of the night

We're wounded by fear

Injured in doubt

I can lose myself

You I can't live without

 

Yeah you keep me holding on

In Red Hill Town

See the lights go down on

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

I'm still waiting

Hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

Hold on to

 

We'll scorch the earth

Set fire to the sky

We stoop so low to reach so high

A link is lost

The chain undone

We wait all day

For night to come

And it comes

Like a hunter child

 

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

I'm still waiting

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

 

Love...slowly stripped away

Love...has seen its better day

 

Hanging on

The lights go out on Red Hill

The lights go down on Red Hill

Lights go down on Red Hill town

The lights go down on Red Hill

[awatt]

Love that song, Froggie

 

 

 

Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter

Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes

I love the way she walks, i love the way she talks

I love the way she wiggles, she wiggles she walks

Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter

Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes

 

Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter

Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks

I love the way she moves, she moves, she moves me

Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter

Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes

 

Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter

 

Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes

[Calexico]

Nice one on The Jayhawks, PigSooie

 

 

 

How're you going to make your way in the world

When you weren't cut out for working

When your fingers are slender and frail

How're you going to get around

In this sleazy bedroom town

If you don't put yourself up for sale

 

Where will you go with your scarves and your miracles

Who's gonna know who you are

Drugs and wine and flattering light

You must try it again till you get it right

Maybe you'll end up with someone different every night

 

All these people with no home to go home to

They'd all like to spend the night with you

Maybe I would, too

 

But tell me

How're you going to make your way in the world, woman

When you weren't cut out for working

And you just can't concentrate

And you always show up late

 

You said you were an actress

Yes, I believe you are

I thought you'd be a star

So I drank up all the money,

Yes, I drank up all the money,

With these phonies in this Hollywood bar,

These friends of mine in this Hollywood bar

 

Loneliness and frustration

We both came down with an acute case

And when the lights came up at two

I caught a glimpse of you

And your face looked like something

Death brought with him in his suitcase

 

Your pretty face

It looked so wasted

Another pretty face

Devastated

The French Inhaler

He stamped and mailed her

"So long, Norman"

She said, "So long, Norman"

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

You got a great car

Yeah, what's wrong with it today?

I used to have one too,

Maybe I'll come and have a look.

I really love

your hairdo, yeah

I'm glad you like mine too,

See what looking pretty cool will get ya?

 

So, what do you do?

Oh yeah, I wait tables too.

No, I haven't heard your band,

'Cause you guys are pretty new.

But if you dig on vegan food

Well come over to my work

I'll have them cook you

Something that you'll really love.

 

'cause I like you

yeah I like you

and I'm feeling so bohemian like you

Yeah I like you yeah I like you.

And I feel whoa ho woo

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

 

Wait

Whose that guy

Just hanging at your pad

He's looking kinda bummed

Yeah, you broke up, thats too bad.

I guess it's fair if he always pays the rent

And he doesn't get bent

about sleeping on the couch when I'm there.

 

'Cause I like you

yeah I like you

And I'm feeling so bohemian like you

Yeah I like you

Yeah I like you

And I feel whoa ho woo!

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

 

I'm getting wise and

I'm feeling so bohemian like you

It's you that I want, so please

Just a casual, casual easy thing

Is it?

it is for me

And I like you yeah I like you

and I like you I like you I like you

I like you I like you I like you

I like you and I feel

Whoa ho woo!

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

[Elixir Sue]

If the walls in the room could talk

I wonder to myself would they laugh

It's like some kind of jail

Beams of light

Fall from the curtains onto the bed

I'm all alone now; I can do as I please

I don't feel like doing much of anything

True love ain't that hard to find

Not that you will ever know

Would you leave for awhile?

Please do not let me go

Please do not let me go

 

You were sweet enough to sing

Oblivious to melody

Red suitcase full of clothes

Washed up on a shore of memories

I'm all alone now and I feel just fine

I don't feel much like doing anything

True love ain't that hard to find

Not that either one of us will ever know

Would you lay here for awhile?

Please, do not let me go

Please, do not let me go

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

I'm waiting for my man

Twenty-six dollars in my hand

Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive

I'm waiting for my man

 

Hey, white boy, what you doin uptown?

Hey, white boy, you chasin our women around?

Oh pardon me sir, its the furthest from my mind

I'm just lookin for a dear, dear friend of mine

Pr shoes and a big straw hat

He's never early, he's always late

First thing you learn is you always gotta wait

I'm waiting for my man

 

Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs

Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares

Hes got the works, gives you sweet taste

Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste

I'm waiting for my man

 

Baby dont you holler, darlin dont you bawl and shout

I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out

Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time

I'm waiting for my man

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Caroline says

as she gets up off the floor

Why is it that you beat me

it isn't any fun

 

Caroline says

as she makes up her eyes

You ought to learn more about yourself

think more than just I

 

But she's not afraid to die

all her friends call her "Alaska"

When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

 

What is in her mind

what is in her mind

 

Caroline says

as she gets up from the floor

You can hit me all you want to

but I don't love you anymore

 

Caroline says

while biting her lip

Life is meant to be more than this

and this is a bum trip

 

But she's not afraid to die

all her friends call her "Alaska"

When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

 

What is in her mind

what is in her mind

 

She put her fist through the window pane

It was such a funny feeling

 

It's so cold in Alaska

it's so cold in Alaska

It's so cold in Alaska

Late news breaking this just in

Late news breaking this just in

Yeah, coolin' out

Yeah, coolin' out

Yeah, coolin' out

 

God sure baked a lot of fruitcake, baby

When Adam met the Eden lady

They're walking the streets and they're driving cars

They're all over the country and they're running ours

They're walking on the wounded who won the war

What's the matter people - was it worth fighting for

Coolin' out

 

Fix that gauge or you run out of gas

A cool operator can make it last

Say, from here to Indiana and across Illinois

We're rockin the girls and a-boppin' on the boys

And I spot a little bitty on a little bam-bam

That pill poppers hopping on a city bound tram

 

The stars go in and the stars go out

And punk rock what it's all about

And even when you're ch-ch-ch-ch-chillin' out

You're wondering what's it all about

Coolin' out, coolin' out, coolin' out

 

At the G7 summit, well we've got some 25

And we're putting it into the gin supply

We want a satellite crashing outta the skies

And a firework display by ballistic missiles

I got a sneeky feeling that the poker's getting hot

Cos twice times bitten and it's third time shot, third time shot

 

Oh, the stars go in and the stars go out

And punk rock what it's all about

And even when you're ch-ch-ch-ch-chillin' out

You're wondering what's it all about

Coolin'

What's it all about

Let somebody else figure it out

 

What's it all about, what's it all about

The stars go in and the stars go out

Punk rock what it's all about

And even when you're ch-ch-ch-ch-chillin' out

Wondering what's it all about, what's it all about

What's it all about

[Lammycat]

Well I don't know why I love you like I do

Nobody in the world can get along with you.

You got the ways of a devil sleeping in a lion's den

I come home last night you wouldn't even let me in.

Oh sometimes you're as sweet as anybody want to be

When you get a crazy notion, jumpin' all over me

Well you give me the blues because you're satisfied

An' you give me the blues I wanna lay down and die.

 

I helped you when you had no shoes on your feet, pretty mama

I helped you when you had no food to eat.

You're the kind of woman I just don't understand

You're takin' all my money and give it to another man.

Well you're the kinda woman makes a man lose his brain

You're the kinda woman drives a man insane

You give me the blues because you're satisfied

You give me the blues I wanna lay down and die

Well you give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die

[Lammycat]

Ramblin' outa the wild West,

Leavin' the towns I love the best.

Thought I'd seen some ups and down,

Til I come into New York town.

People goin' down to the ground,

Buildings goin' up to the sky.

 

Wintertime in New York town,

The wind blowin' snow around.

Walk around with nowhere to go,

Somebody could freeze right to the bone.

I froze right to the bone.

New York Times said it was the coldest winter in seventeen years;

I didn't feel so cold then.

 

I swung on to my old guitar,

Grabbed hold of a subway car,

And after a rocking, reeling, rolling ride,

I landed up on the downtown side;

Greenwich Village.

 

I walked down there and ended up

In one of them coffee-houses on the block.

Got on the stage to sing and play,

Man there said, "Come back some other day,

You sound like a hillbilly;

We want folk singers here."

 

Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,

Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.

I blowed inside out and upside down.

The man there said he loved m' sound,

He was ravin' about how he loved m' sound;

Dollar a day's worth.

 

And after weeks and weeks of hangin' around,

I finally got a job in New York town,

In a bigger place, bigger money too,

Even joined the union and paid m' dues.

 

Now, a very great man once said

That some people rob you with a fountain pen.

It didn't take too long to find out

Just what he was talkin' about.

A lot of people don't have much food on their table,

But they got a lot of forks n' knives,

And they gotta cut somethin'.

 

So one mornin' when the sun was warm,

I rambled out of New York town.

Pulled my cap down over my eyes

And headed out for the western skies.

So long, New York.

Howdy, East Orange.

[embiggen]

I don't wanna work in a building downtown

No I don't wanna work in a building downtown

I don't know what I'm gonna do

Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two

I don't wanna work in a building downtown

No I don't wanna see when the planes hit the ground

 

I don't wanna work in a building downtown

I don't wanna work in a building downtown

Parking their cars in the underground

Their voices when they scream, well they make no sound

I wanna see the cities rust

And the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus

 

Dear God, I'm a good Christian man

In your glory, I know you understand

That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid

My girl's 13 but she don't act her age

She can sing like a bird in a cage

O Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage!

 

You know that I'm a God-fearing man

You know that I'm a God-fearing man

But I just gotta know if it's part of your plan

To seat my daughters there by your right hand

I know that you'll do what's right, Lord

For they are the lanterns and you are the light

 

Now I'm overcome

By the light of day

My lips are near but my heart is far away

Tell me what to say

I'll be your mouthpiece!

 

Into the light of a bridge that burns

As I drive from the city with the money that I earned

Into the black of a starless sky

I'm staring into nothing

and I'm asking you why

Lord, will you make her a star

So the world can see who you really are?

 

Little girl, you're old enough to understand

That you'll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land

The men are gonna come when you're fast asleep

So you better just stay close and hold onto me

If my little mocking bird don't sing

Then daddy won't buy her no diamond ring

 

Dear God, would you send me a child?

Oh! God, would you send me a child

Cause I wanna put it up on the TV screen

So the world can see what your true word means

Lord, would you send me a sign

Cause I just gotta know if I'm wasting my time!

 

Now I'm overcome

By the light of day

My lips are near but my heart is far away

Now the war is won

How come nothing tastes good?

 

You're such a sensitive child!

Oh! You're such a sensitive child!

I know you're tired but it's alright

I just need you to sing for me tonight

You're gonna have your day in the sun

You know God loves the sensitive ones

 

Oh! My little bird in a cage!

Oh! My little bird in a cage!

I need you to get up for me, up on that stage

And show the men that you're old for your age

Now ain't the time for fear

But if you don't take it, it'll disappear!

 

Oh! My little mocking bird sing!

Oh! My little mocking bird sing!

I need you to get up on that stage for me, honey

And show the men it's not about the money

 

Wanna hold a mirror up to the world

So that they can see themselves inside my little girl!

 

Do you know where I was at your age?

Any idea where I was at your age?

I was working downtown for the minimum wage

And I'm not gonna let you just throw it all away!

I'm through being cute, I'm through being nice

O tell me, Lord, am I the Antichrist?!

[Lammycat]

My old dog likes his meat

Pork chops are a special treat

My old dog and me

My old dog and me

Two old bums, two jolly old bums

My old dog and me.

[radiokills]

i wont post anything because nobody is going to read 1000 posts of lyrics.

thanks bye

[awatt]

hey ain't it great for us to be alive

I've been lying in wait for you to come outside

I know you don't know me but I know a lot about you

you're the one who knows me better than I do

 

when I get back home

I'm gonna put your records on

I play 'em way too loud and I'll sing along

I know all the words to every song

and I don't really care

but tonight you sang one wrong

 

and I can't keep from talking

I can't keep from talking about you

and I just wanted to thank you

thank you for doing what you do

 

I wanted to tell the world a little bit about myself

realize my feelings and put them on a shelf

then jump out the window so you'd all know what it's about

'cause I can't be there to help you figure it out

 

and I can't keep from talking

I can't keep from talking about you

and I just wanted to thank you

thank you for doing what you do

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

What the hell is wrong with you tonight?

I can't seem to say or do the right thing

Wanted to be sure you're feeling right

Wanted to be sure we want the same thing

 

She said - I can't believe it

You can't - possibly mean it

Don't we - all want the same thing

Don't we

Well who said anything about love

No not love she said

Don't you know that it's different for girls

Don't give me love

No not love she said

Don't you know that it's different for girls

You're all the same

 

Mama always told me, save yourself

Take a little time and find the right girl

Then again don't end up on the shelf

Logical advice gets you in a whirl

 

I know - a lot of things that

You don't - you wanna hear some

She said - just give me something

Anything

Well give me all you got but not love

No not love she said

Don't you know that it's different for girls

You're all the same

Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis

 

Hey Charlie, I'm pregnant and living on 9th Street

Right above a dirty bookstore off Euclid Avenue

And I stopped takin' dope and I quit drinkin' whiskey

And my old man plays the trombone and works out at the track

 

He says that he loves me, even though it's not his baby

He says that he'll raise him up like he would his own son

And he gave me a ring that was worn by his mother

And he takes me out dancin' every Saturday night

 

And hey Charlie, I think about you everytime I pass a fillin' station

On account of all the grease you used to wear in your hair

And I still have that record of Little Anthony and the Imperials

But someone stole my record player, now how do you like that?

 

Hey Charlie, I almost went crazy after Mario got busted

I went back to Omaha to live with my folks

But everyone I used to know was either dead or in prison

So I came back to Minneapolis, this time I think I'm gonna stay

 

Hey Charlie, I think I'm happy for the first time since my accident

And I wish I had all the money we used to spend on dope

I'd buy me a used car lot and I wouldn't sell any of 'em

I'd just drive a different car every day dependin' on how I feel

 

Hey Charlie, for chrissakes, if you want to know the truth of it

I don't have a husband, he don't play the trombone

I need to borrow money to pay this lawyer, and Charlie, hey

I'll be eligible for parole come Valentine's day

[Analogman]

And it's sure been a cold, cold winter

And the wind ain't been blowin' from the south

It's sure been a cold, cold winter

And the light of love is all burned out

 

It sure been a hard, hard winter

My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground

And I hope it's gonna be a long, hot summer

And the light of love will be burnin' bright

 

And I wish I'd been out in California

When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out

But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle

And the restoration plays have all gone 'round

 

It sure been a cold, cold winter

My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground

And the fields has all been brown and fallow

And the springtime take a long way around

 

Yeah, and I wish I'd been out in Stony Canyon

When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out

But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle

And the restoration plays have all gone 'round

 

Sometimes I think about you, baby

Sometimes I cry about you

Lord well well well

 

Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you

Sometimes I wanna keep you warm

Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you

Sometimes I wanna burn a candle for you

[awatt]

Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl

Her eyes were hazel

And her nose were slightly curved

We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel

It's on the ocean, I guess you know it well

It took a starry to steal my breath away

Down on the water front

Her hair all drenched in spray

 

Hannah baby was a honey of a girl

Her eyes were hazel

And her teeth were slightly curved

She took my guitar and she began to play

She sang a song to me

Stuck right in my brain

 

You're just a memory of a love

That used to be

You're just a memory of a love

That used to mean so much to me

 

She got a mind of her own

And she use it well

Well she's one of a kind

She's got a mind

She got a mind of her own

And she use it mighty fine

 

She drove a pick-up truck

Painted green and blue

The tires were wearing thin

She turned a mile or two

When I asked her where she headed for

"Back up to Boston I'm singing in a bar"

I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge

My nerves are shot already

The road ain't all that smooth

Across in Texas is the rose of San Antone

I keep on a feeling that's gnawing in my bones

 

You're just a memory of a love

That used to mean so much to me

You're just a memory girl

You're just a sweet memory

And it used to mean so much to me

Sha la la la la

 

She got a mind of her own

And she use it well

Mighty fine, she's one of a kind

 

On the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze

We've been ten thousand miles

Been in fifteen states

Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind

I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried

What's all this laughter on the 22nd floor

It's just some friends of mine

And they're busting down the door

Been a lonely night at the Memory Motel

[kathyp]

I know this one is painfully obvious, but I've had it playing on a loop in my brain this morning. Anyone else mentally sing "George, George, George of the jungle...strong as he can be" over the intro? Just me then? Okay...

If you're all alone

And you need someone

Call me up

And I'll come running

Reconsider me

Reconsider me

 

If it's still the past

That makes you doubt

Darlin', that was then

And this is now

Reconsider me

Reconsider me

 

And I'll never make you sad again

Cause I swear that I've changed since then

And I promise that I'll never make you cry

 

Let's let bygones

Be forgotten

Reconsider me

Reconsider me

 

You can go and be

What you want to be

And it'll be alright

If we disagree

I'm the one who cares

And I hope you'll see

That I'm the one who loves you

Reconsider me

 

Let's let bygones

Be forgotten

Reconsider me

Reconsider me

 

And I'll never make you sad again

'Cause I swear I've changed since then

And I'll never make you sorry if you'll try

And I'll never make you sad again

'Cause I swear that I've changed since then

And I promise that I'll never make you cry

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

I was staying at the Marriott

With Jesus and John Wayne

I was waiting for a chariot

They were waiting for a train

The sky was full of carrion

"I'll take the mazuma"

Said Jesus to Marion

"That's the 3:10 to Yuma

My ride's here..."

 

The Houston sky was changeless

We galloped through bluebonnets

I was wrestling with an angel

You were working on a sonnet

You said, "I believe the seraphim

Will gather up my pinto

And carry us away, Jim

Across the San Jacinto

My ride's here..."

 

Shelley and Keats were out in the street

And even Lord Byron was leaving for Greece

While back at the Hilton, last but not least

Milton was holding his sides

Saying, "You bravos had better be

ready to fight

Or we'll never get out of East Texas tonight

The trail is long and the river is wide

And my ride's here"

 

I was staying at the Westin

I was playing to a draw

When in walked Charlton Heston

With the Tablets of the Law

He said, "It's still the Greatest Story"

I said, "Man, I'd like to stay

But I'm bound for glory

I'm on my way

My ride's here..."

[awatt]

Listen, children, to a story

That was written long ago,

'Bout a kingdom on a mountain

And the valley-folk below.

 

On the mountain was a treasure

Buried deep beneath the stone,

And the valley-people swore

They'd have it for their very own.

 

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,

Go ahead and cheat a friend.

Do it in the name of Heaven,

You can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgement day,

On the bloody morning after....

One tin soldier rides away.

 

So the people of the valley

Sent a message up the hill,

Asking for the buried treasure,

Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

 

Came an answer from the kingdom,

"With our brothers we will share

All the secrets of our mountain,

All the riches buried there."

 

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,

Go ahead and cheat a friend.

Do it in the name of Heaven,

You can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgement day,

On the bloody morning after....

One tin soldier rides away.

 

Now the valley cried with anger,

"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"

And they killed the mountain-people,

So they won their just reward.

 

Now they stood beside the treasure,

On the mountain, dark and red.

Turned the stone and looked beneath it...

"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

 

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,

Go ahead and cheat a friend.

Do it in the name of Heaven,

You can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgement day,

On the bloody morning after....

One tin soldier rides away.

 

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,

Go ahead and cheat a friend.

Do it in the name of Heaven,

You can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgement day,

On the bloody morning after....

One tin soldier rides away.
