One Song

"well i dont know, but i've been told, the natzi's done stole honey steel's gold"

 

 

- honey steel's gold, Ed Keupper

[PigSooie]

I've seen a lot of places

I've been around the world

I've seen some pretty faces

Been with some beautiful girls

But after all I've witnessed one thing still amazes me

Just like a miracle you have to see to believe

 

'Cause God blessed Texas with His own hand

Brought down angels from the promised land

Gave 'em a place where they could dance

If you wanna see heaven brother here's your chance

I've been sent to spread the message

God blessed Texas

 

First He lit sunshine

Then He made the waters deep

Then He gave us moonlight

For all the world to see

Well everybody knows that the Lord works in mysterious ways

He took a rest then on the very next day

 

God blessed Texas with His own hand

Brought down angels from the promised land

Gave 'em a place where they could dance

If you wanna see heaven brother here's your chance

I've been sent to spread the message

God blessed Texas

 

God blessed Texas with His own hand

Brought down angels from the promised land

Gave 'em a place where they could dance

If you wanna see heaven brother here's your chance

Well I've been sent to spread the message

God blessed Texas

 

Well I've been sent to spread the message

God blessed Texas

Well I've been sent to spread the message

Mmm...God blessed Texas

[tellya]

no you didn't

Actually, I don't know the game.

Artist - The Hold Steady

Album - Boys And Girls In America

Song - Stuck Between Stations

 

there are nights when i think that sal paradise was right.

boys and girls in america have such a sad time together.

sucking off each other at the demonstrations.

making sure their makeup's straight.

crushing one another with collossal expectations.

dependent, undisciplined, sleeping late.

 

she was a really cool kisser and she wasn't all that strict of a christian.

she was a damn good dancer but she wasn't all that great of a girlfriend.

he likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration.

most nights were crystal clear but tonite its like it's stuck between stations

on the radio.

 

the devil and john berryman took a walk together

they ended up on washington talking to the river

he said "I surrounded myself with doctors and deep thinkers

but big heads with soft bodies make for lousy lovers".

there was that night that we thought that john berryman could fly.

but he didnt so he died.

she said "you're pretty good with words but words won't save your life"

and they didn't so he died.

 

he was drunk and exhausted but he was critically acclaimed and respected.

he loved the golden gophers but he hated all the drawn out winters.

he likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration.

most nights were kind of fuzzy but that last night he had total retention.

 

these twin city kisses.

sound like clicks and hisses.

and we all come down and drown in the mississippi river.

 

we drink

we dry up.

we crumble into dust.

 

we get wet we corrode

we get covered in rust.

 

she was a really cool kisser but she wasn't all that strict of a Christian

she was a damn good dancer but she wasn't all that great of a girlfriend

he like's the warm feelings but he's tired of all the dehydration

most nights he's crystal clear but tonight it's like he's stuck between stations

 

and these twin city kisses

they sound like clicks and hisses

we all come down and drown...

Mary Pickford - katie melua

 

Mary Pickford used to eat roses

Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did,

One supposes.

 

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome,

He wore a moustache,

Must-a had much cash, too,

Worth a king's ransom,

 

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited,

When these artists became united.

When these artists became united.

 

David Griffith worked as an extra,

Then as a stagehand,

Until they let him be

A director

 

Dave was brave, a mover and shaker,

A true pioneer,

He seemed to show no fear,

A real film maker

 

 

Just like Chaplin, he was invited,

When these artists became united.

When these artists became united.

 

They tied the knot together,

Groom and bride couldn't hide their pleasure.

They tried to pick fair weather,

But love died, didn't last forever.

Grant Lee Buffalo - Dixie Drug Store.

 

It was muggy July around supper time

When i pulled into New Orleans

I got dropped off at south rampart street

I was hungry for a plate of greens

 

I made my way down the banquette

Where i could see an open door

And overhead a sign made of painted pine read

The dixie drug store

 

Peppers and roots were hanging

From the rafters above

There were oils and sprays all on display

For money luck and for love

 

I reached down to pick one up

When a dark hand grabbed my arm

And before i could see just who it was

She said you don't want that charm

 

The last man to walk that thing out of here

Just up and disappeared

Found his wallet and his wingtip shoes

Near a tombstone down in Algiers

 

What you need my travelling friend

Is a place to wash your jeans

And i wouldn't be the least surprised

If you were hungry for a plate of greens

 

She beckoned me on up the stairs

For she'd done made up her mind

Said take off your hat and kick off your boots

And leave your pride behind

 

She was turnin' tricks and nothing clicked

And the room was black as pitch

She had me backed up against the wall

I was fumbling for the switch

 

I could hear her crack the shutters

As i felt a little draft

When she gave me a shove into the tub

And said it's time to take your bath

 

I lay there in my stockinged feet

I was soaked from head to toe

At the same time down on rampart street

I heard the trumpet blow

 

Sparks started poppin' from an old tin cup

Sitting on the window sill

The whole place smelled like matches

And onions on the grill

 

I was catchin' cold and i told her so

As i let out a little cough

She told me since my pants were clean

Why don't i just dry off

 

I found myself a little tea-towel

Wrapped it around my waist

I was standin' there half naked

When i noticed we were face to face

 

And now it seemed the picture's

Gettin' pretty strange

Stripped bare in her chamber and

I hadn't even asked her name

 

I started to inquire

She knocked me upside the head

My noggin felt on fire

As she pulled me into bed

 

You needn't ask no questions

Of the things that don't concern you

If you aren't afraid of the fire son

Fire it won't burn you

 

She took me down to a secret place

In the bayou of her blankets

She offered to share her bourbon

I thanked her then i drank it

 

Thru a small crack in the ceiling

Burst the Louisiana moon

It shone down on our bodies

And we began to croon

 

Like a couple of coyotes

We were howling thru the night

And i swear they were a beatin' those

Congo drums outside

 

I told her she was crazy

And she replied it's true

And she finally introduced herself

As the famous Marie Laveau

 

I said now come on darlin'

She died a century ago

Don't believe the paper she said

It simply isn't so

 

I shot back that's impossible

There ain't a ghost of a chance

But i wouldn't turn a pretty ghost down

If she asked me up to dance

 

We laughed until the mornin'

By then my pants had dried

I picked up my hat and pulled on my boots

And i gathered up my pride

 

I figured she had done stepped out

I didn't see her anywhere

And i set out to find her

I headed on downstairs

 

Got down to the bottom

I couldn't believe my eyes

Gone were all the bottles

And the remedy supplies

 

I shouted out for Marie

I darted out the door

An old man on the wooden porch said

What you in there for

 

Son you got no business

The hoodoo store's been closed

Long as i remember

A century i suppose

 

But mister i just spent the night

With a young gal named laveau

He said the widow paris

Done had a little laugh on you

 

I said you mean to tell me

That was the voodooin'

He nodded yes none other

The queen of New Orleans

[Dreamin']

I've seen you twice, in a short time

Only a week since we started

It seems to me, for every time

I'm getting more open-hearted

 

I was an impossible case

No-one ever could reach me

But I think I can see in your face

There's a lot you can teach me

So I wanna know......

 

What's the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?

What's the name of the game?

Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please, cause I have to know

I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

 

And you make me talk

And you make me feel

And you make me show

What I'm trying to conceal

If I trust in you, would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know......

 

The name of the game

[embiggen]

Tell me, I've got to know.

Tell me, tell me before I go.

Does that flame still burn? Does that fire still glow?

Or has it died out and melted like the snow.

Tell me.

Tell me.

 

Tell me, what are you focused upon?

Tell me will it come to me after you're gone.

Tell me now with a glance or a sigh

Shall I hold you close?

Or Shall I let you go by?

Tell me.

Tell me.

 

Is that the heat and the beat of your pulse that I feel?

If it's not that, what is it you're trying to conceal?

Do you have any secrets,? they will only come out in time.

Do you lie in your bed and stare at the stars?

Is your main friend an old acquaintance of ours?

Tell me.

Tell me.

 

Tell me, Are those rock and roll dreams in your eyes?

Tell me, behind what door your treasure lies.

Ever gone broke in a big way?

Ever done the opposite of what the experts say?

Tell me.

Tell me.

 

Is this some kind of game that you're playin' with my heart?

How deep must I go, Where do I start?

Do you have any morals?

Do you have any point of view?

Is that a smile I see on your face?

Will it lead me to glory or lead me to disgrace?

Tell me.

Tell me.

 

Tell me, is that my name in your book?

Tell me, should I come back and take another look?

Tell me the truth, don't you tell me no lies.

Are you anyone some one prays for or cries?

Tell me.

Tell me.

[Barbarino]

I don't try anymore, 'cause only booze improves with age,

I don't fight anymore, but sometimes my fists clentch up in rage

And I don't cry anymore, but sometimes my skies get cloudy

And sometimes them clouds rain down upon a dream,

But I don't mind anymore 'cause now my mind is wasted on a dream

 

Take a walk upside yourself,

Get to know the person behind the face,

Is it someone you can really love?

Is it someone who looks down from above?

With a view of the rain

Rain

 

I don't smile anymore, too many smiling faces lie,

I don't pray anymore 'cause too many of God's children die, yes they do,

And I don't love anymore, you said you knew where love is,

I never knew where you was coming from,

But I don't mind anymore 'cause now my mind is wasted on a dream

Mind wasted on a dream

 

You've got to

Take a walk beside yourself,

Get to know the person behind the face,

Is it someone you can really love?

Is it somebody who looks down from above?

With a view of the rain

Rain

View of the rain

 

Take a walk upside yourself,

Get to know the person behind the face,

Is it someone you can really love?

Is it somebody who looks down from above?

With a view of the rain

Rain

[pnêyu]

I'm told the case is now closed

So I can come to my senses

But when the question is posed

I'll have this meager defense

 

I was hoping that you'd know better than that

I was hoping but you're an amateur

I was hoping that you'd know better

But I've been wrong before

Despite conclusions I drew

There was a chance you'd surprise me

And you'd be better than you

'Cause I'd have left otherwise

 

I was hoping that you'd know better than that

I was hoping but you're an amateur

I was hoping that you'd know better

But I've been wrong before

So I wasn't thinking clearly

So you didn't think at all I thought that was protocol

 

I was hoping that you'd know better than that

I was hoping but you're an amateur

I was hoping that you'd know better

But I've been wrong before

I was hoping that I was hoping but you're an amateur

I was hoping that you'd know better

But I've been wrong before

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

I told you before - dont you hear what I say

I wont take it no more - no more makin me stay

Down on my knees - you know Im down on my knees yeah

Yes I've been down on my knees

But Im through beggin' please

I wont get back on my knees.

 

Nobody knows - what your puttin' me through

Nobody knows - if it's worth it for you

Nobody sees - you got me down on my knees

Well I've been down on my knees

And I'm through beggin' please

Don't put me back on my knees.

 

You know how I always loved you

Never placed myself above you

 

Don't let me go - if I wish that I could

Don't tell me no - if I wish that you would

Down on my knees - you know I'm down on my knees

Well I've been down on my knees

But Im through beggin' please

Dont put me back on my knees.

[the_fliz1]

Yo VIP let's kick it

 

Ice ice baby (x2)

All right stop collaborate and listen

Ice is back with my brand new invention

Something grabs a hold of me tightly

Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly

Will it ever stop yo I don't know

Turn off the lights and I'll glow

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal

Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle

Dance go rush to the speaker that booms

I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom

Deadly when I play a dope melody

Anything less than the best is a felony

Love it or leave it you better gain weight

You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

 

CHORUS

Ice ice baby vanillla (x4)

 

Now that the party is jumping

With the bass kicked in and the vegas are pumpin'

Quick to the point to the point no faking

I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon

Burning them if you ain't quick and nimble

I go crazy when I hear a cymbal

And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo

I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo

Rollin' in my 5.0

With my rag-top down so my hair can blow

The girlies on standby waving just to say hi

Did you stop no I just drove by

Kept on pursuing to the next stop

I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block

The block was dead

Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue

Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis

Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis

Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine

Shay with a guage and Vanilla with a nine

Reading for the chumps on the wall

The chumps acting ill because they're so full of eight balls

Gunshots rang out like a bell

I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells

Falling on the concrete real fast

Jumped in my car slammed on the gas

Bumpet to bumper the avenue's packed

I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack

Police on the scene you know what I mean

They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet

Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it

My town that created all the bass sound

Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground

'Cause my style's like a chemical spill

Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel

Conducted and formed

This is a hell of a concept

We make it hype and you want to step with this

Shay plays on the fade slice like a ninja

Cut like a razor blade so fast other DJs say damn

If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram

Keep my composure when it's time to get loose

Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while Shay revolves it

 

Ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby (oh-oh) vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla ice

Yo man let's get out of here

Word to your mother

Ice ice baby too cold

Ice ice baby too cold too cold (x2)

Ice ice baby

[Dude]

Where are you going I don't mind

I've killed my world and I've killed my time

So where do I go what do I see

I see many people coming after me

 

So where are you going to I don't mind

If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die

So I will follow you wherever you go

If your offered hand is still open to me

 

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

 

So you've been where I've just come

From the land that brings losers on

So we will share this road we walk

And mind our mouths and beware our talk

 

'Till peace we find tell you what I'll do

All the things I own I will share with you

If I feel tomorrow like I feel today

We'll take what we want and give the rest away

 

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

 

Holy man and holy priest

This love of life makes me weak at my knees

And when we get there make your play

'Cos soon I feel you're gonna carry us away

 

In a promised lie you made us believe

For many men there is so much grief

And my mind is proud but it aches with rage

And if I live too long I'm afraid I'll die

 

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

 

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

[stooka]

I blew it

And if I knew what to do, then I'd do it

But the point that I have, I'll get to it

And forever for her is over for me

Forever, just the word that she said that means never

To be with another together

And with the weight of a feather it tore into me

Then I knew it

All the work that it took to get through it

On the wings of a feather that flew it

Fell onto my shoe it cut up into me

 

Well, everybody's reaction is changing you

But their love is only a fraction of what I can give to you

So let's do it, just get on a plane and just do it

Like the birds and the bees and get to it

Just get out of town and forever be free

Forever, I wonder we could stay together

It could change if you want for the better

Just turn down my shirt and lay down next to me

How was I supposed to know

That something wasn't right here

Oh baby, baby

And now you're out of sight, yeah

Show me how you want it to be

Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now, oh because

 

My loneliness is killing me

I must confess I still believe

When I'm not with you I lose my mind

Give me a sign

Hit me baby one more time

 

Oh baby, baby

The reason I breathe is you

Boy you got me blinded

Oh pretty baby

There's nothing that I wouldn't do

It's not the way I planned it

Show me how you want it to be

Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now, oh because

 

My loneliness is killing me

I must confess I still believe

When I'm not with you I lose my mind

Give me a sign

Hit me baby one more time

 

Oh baby, baby how was I supposed to know

Oh pretty baby, I shouldn't have let you go

I must confess, that my loneliness is killing me now

Don't you know I still believe

That you will be here

And give me a sign

Hit me baby one more time

 

My loneliness is killing me

I must confess I still believe

When I'm not with you I lose my mind

Give me a sign

Hit me baby one more time

[Clouds of Fluff]

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo

Crying in the rain

It was a kind of so so love

and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again

 

You and I had to be the standing joke of the year

You were a run around

a lost and found

and not for me I feel

 

Take your hands off me, hey

I don't belong to you, you see

 

Take a look in my face, for the last time

I never knew you, you never knew me

Say hello, goodbye

 

Say hello and wave goodbye

 

We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt

And me in a suit, and it just wasn't me

You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess

So insecure you seem

 

I put up with all the scenes

this is one scene

that

Two Minute Miracles - Don't come Knocking

 

Jenny,

 

Don

[viatroy]

If today was not an endless highway,

If tonight was not a crooked trail,

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,

Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',

Only if she was lyin' by me,

Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

 

I can't see my reflection in the waters,

I can't speak the sounds that show no pain,

I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,

Or can't remember the sound of my own name.

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',

Only if she was lyin' by me,

Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

 

There's beauty in the silver, singin' river,

There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky,

But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty

That I remember in my true love's eyes.

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',

Only if she was lyin' by me,

Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

had no idea that the Weakerthans 'Hymn for a Medical Oddity' was about the sad case of Winnipeg's David Reimer and a botched sex re-assignment.

 

Reunion Tour just keeps getting stronger and stronger.

 

 

Oh, all the words I should not know those doctors wrote on me

Swell up and from their syllable won't let me get to sleep.

The sun will start later, clock out early

And I'll drive around and wait for it.

Follow familiar roads emptied of every memory

Under a sheet of silence and unmarked snow.

 

Then idle in some parking lot, smoke half a smoke and ask

St. Boniface and St. Fratel preserve me from my past

Repair our potholes, prevent plant closures

and if they remember me at all, make them remember me

as more than a queer experiment, more than a diagram in their quarterly

Make them remember me
