Heartfelt Melody
03:26
|
|||
==================================================
This morning I woke up to you
But you weren't there to see me
Reaching, searching for you
And doing it hopelessly
I can't be satisfied
With holding you in my dreams
One more lonely night
Will be too long . . .
But everything could've been
Just like I wanted it to
If I'd just opened my eyes
I'd still have a girl
That I could call my own
If I'd just realized . . .
What I should know by now;
That love can take a boy by surprise
And if he don't slow down
It's gonna pass him right on by
And it will fade away . . .
And pretend like it never happened
It will fade away . . .
If you don't reach out & grab it
It will fade away . . .
And by the time you realize
It's too late . . .
Too late . . .
This morning I woke up to you . . .

He died in my arms last night . . .
He died in my arms last night . . .
He died in my arms last night . . .
But he's still alive . . .
He's still alive . . .
He's still alive . . .
He's still alive!
He's still alive!!
He's still alive!!!
But he died in my arms last night . . .

Have an Excuse
03:41
|
|||
===================================================
When the lights out
And the day is done
I often look back
At what I have done
And what I see there
Gets me more confused
I wonder if there's
Anything I can use
I wanna know
If I'll be sure
When the man
Shows up at my door
And when he gets there
What will he say?
I wonder if there'll
Be anything left to say
And when will I
Get what I deserve;
A reward
That will strike a nerve?
And when will anything
Be worth it's truth?
And why does everything
Have to
Have an excuse?
It's not a question
About what is real--
I'm not Gud Wilson
Or Captain DEAL.
With fame & fortune
I get to flirt
I wonder if then
You'll feel my hurt
And when will I
Get what I deserve;
A revelation
That will strike a nerve?
And when will anything
Be worth it's truth?
And why does everything
Have to
Have an excuse?
Tell your excuses to me . . .
To me . . .
To me . . .
To me . . .

Fishin' Net
01:50
|
|||
===================================================
These sunny days find
That my destination
Is calling to the shore
But I've gotta catch so
Many crustacean
Before I get back home
And lately I've been
So tired
Of drifting here
Alone . . .
But I've gotta
Fill my fishin' net
Before the next storm comes;
I've only got a couple
Hours to go
Lately I've been
So tired
Of drifting here
Alone . . .
But I've gotta
Fill my fishin' net
Before the next storm comes;
I've only got a couple
Hours to go

Slip on out of those clothes
Leave the burdens for yesterday
You know, it's so damn cold
I feel it's getting warmer
Women like to say,
"Hi, how are you doing?"
And I reply, "I'm just fine,
Do you wanna get moving?"
I know of places we can go to be
Alone & look at the stars
I believe we're meant to be
More than what we are
I'm in love with you . . .
Fer tonight
I'm in love with you . . .
Fer tonight
Then I wake up . . .
And you don't look as pretty
Then I wake up . . .
And you don't look as pretty

Bud Corbin Blooze
02:26
|
|||
==================================================
I roll into Woodfin
Not a dime to my name
The parking lot's empty
Ain't that a shame?
I work for Bud Corbin
He gives me my pay
But I go out & spend
All the money I make
It looks like
Nothing's gonna
Go my way . . .
I guess I'll hang my head
Next to this lonesome
Weaverville Highway
The sun is a-blazin'
My clothes are a mess
This day seems much longer
Than all of the rest
But I'll keep on a-workin'
And goin' through Hell
'Til Bud starts a-ringin'
That 5 o'clock bell
Yes, it looks like
Nothing's gonna
Go my way . . .
And I say:
"I guess I'll hang my head
Next to this lonesome
Weaverville Highway!"
It looks like
Nothing's gonna
Go my way. . .
I guess I'll hang my head
Next to this lonesome
Weaverville Highway

Without You
03:36
|
|||
=================================================
You said I was never open enough
And you said I could never love true enough
But when you slammed that door to your love
I found out what I was made of
Why this path, we had to choose?
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Here without you
They said now I was finally free
And they said you would come right back to me
But for 4 days & 4 nights
I've been forlorn & torn inside
Nothing old & nothing new
Would possibly see me through
This life without you
Without you . . .
You can say just what you want
But I know just what I want;
You're the one that sees me through
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Here without you
Without you . . .

Banana Slug

==================================================
There once was a man named Lan
Who lived on the street in a van
The van was too small
But that's nothing at all
Because now he lives in a can

Cast-iron Bathtub
02:43
|
|||
=================================================
I was born in a cast-iron bathtub
In a house of mortar & stone
Upstairs I was everyone's favorite son
Downstairs they left me alone
And not too long after the fallout
But a long time before the storm
I bid a farewell to the state I'm from
Sent to make Kentucky my home
So if I come around tonight
Please don't turn me away
I'm a scared little boy
On some lonely road
And there's no place that I feel safe
And the things I've loved
And the things I've lost
Are the same things now I find
And the way I feel it's an awful sting
But it's nobody's fault but mine
And all there is is time . . .
All I have is time . . .
And all we need is time . . .

A Stroke of Genius
03:28
|
|||
======================================
I can't help the way you feel
Even though you don't exist
On a plane like me
And we're flying over to the Baltic Sea . . .
You can't help the way I feel
Even though I still exist
On a plane like you
Now it looks like we're both going too . . .
And it's all I can do not to laugh
It's a stroke of genius
And it scares me to death
But you're a stroke of genius
And I can't help the way I feel . . .
I can't help the way I feel
Even though I still resist
Every time you see me
Walking through the door & I'm asleep . . .
And it comes back to you
Every time you're waking up
In the afternoon
'Cause you slept all day just like the day before . . .
It's all I can do not to laugh
But it's a stroke of genius
She's a nervous wreck
And I'm a stroke of genius
But I can't help the way you feel . . .
And it's all I can do not to laugh
But it's a stroke of genius
And I love you to death
But you're a stroke of genius
And you can't help the way you feel . . .
And it's all I can do not to laugh
It's a stroke of genius
You're a nervous wreck
But I'm a stroke of genius
And I can't help the way I feel . . .

Hi, my name is Crazy
I'm the last living man on earth
When my words come out
They just don't go with the herd
But remember when we die
We're gonna live the same way
And when that happens
We'll be rotting in the same damn grave
Hi, my name is Lazy
I'm the poorest man on earth
When I pull my pockets out
There's nothing but dust & dirt
But remember when we die
We're gonna live the same way
And when that happens
Your money won't mean a thing

Dress'd in Devil
01:42

=================================================
Dress'd in devil . . .
Dress'd in devil with a dame to kill
I'm dress'd in devil . . .
Dress'd in devil for the weekend thrill
Oh, dress'd in devil . . .
Dress'd in devil 5 days a week
I'm dress'd in devil . . .
Dress'd in devil . . .
But who's heard of Hollywood?
So dead I wish I could
Still make believe
That I'm not alive . . .
My advice to you . . .
(The other way)
Would be to leave the lights on . . .
(Is staring at you)
Scientists have proof . . .
(The other way)
That it's safe to leave the lights on . . .
(You know it's staring at you)
My advice to you . . .
(The other way)
Would be to leave the lights on . . .
(Is staring at you)
Scientists have proof . . .
(The other way)
That it's safe to leave the lights on now

Until we meet again

Killer Tofu
02:25
|
|||
==================================================
Fast food tastes fuzzy
'Cause it's made from stuff that's scuzzy
I used to think I was such a nerd
I refused to touch that strange bean curd
I wouldn't eat it
But it ate you . . .
(Ah-ee-ooh)
Killer tofu!!
(Ee-ah-ee)
(Ah-ee-ooh)
Killer tofu!!
I eat my sugar cereal
But it makes my teeth bacterial
If you're feeling kinda cruddy
Just stick right by your buddy
And don't eat
T-t-t-too much fried food . . .
(Ah-ee-ooh)
Killer tofu!!
(Ee-ah-ee-ooh)
(Ah-ee-ooh)
Killer tofu!!

What's Those Shoes?
01:06
|

==================================================
What's those shoes
Crawling on the table?
What's those shoes
Walking on the floor?
What's those shoes
Moving all around?
Maybe they'll crawl
Right up to you . . .
Who knows?!

Scene-It
03:49
|
|||
==================================================
Looking down from someone's home above
Pushing out what might have come to shove
Slipping through the cracks that fill me up
Looking down from someone's home . . .
I've seen it for myself . . .
I've seen it for myself . . .
We've all been somewhere else
I know . . .
I've seen it for myself . . .
Uh oh . . .
Looking up from someone's floor again
Feeling like I'm sure I've never been
Mesmerized by what just wandered in
Looking up from someone's floor . . .
I've seen it for myself . . .
I've seen it for myself . . .
We've all been someone else
I know . . .
I've seen it for myself . . .
There you go . . .
I've seen it for myself . . .
I've seen it for myself . . .
We've all been somewhere else
I know . . .
'Cause I've seen it for myself . . .
Uh oh . . .

The Baghdad Battery
02:27
|
|||
==================================================
Late detonation
A dead invitation
Came crawling along
Kamikaze station
With no reservation
Or a one-eyed dog
I told you one time
That this is not mine to control;
This bomb's a bitch
Bound to explode!!
The Baghdad Battery . . .
The Baghdad Battery . . .
Pink-eye probation
The birth of a nation
Like hitting the road
I'm stuck in a basement
I'm drawing a face with
A stick in the mud
And I've told you two times
That this is not mine to control;
This bomb's a bitch
Ready to explode!!
The Baghdad Battery . . .
The Baghdad Battery . . .

Spring Flowers
04:45
|

==================================================
The last thing I'm gonna swear on is the Bible
'Cause it's the one thing telling me not to swear
So if you ask me to, I don't believe I will, sir
Because in Heaven, there ain't no liars there . . .
The last man I'm gonna run to is the butcher
Unless I'm hungry, understand?
Because the butcher is a man & I am a man
And a man keeps his meat in his hand . . .
Ajax, it smells like spring flowers
I learned that from the bottle yesterday
If spring flowers ever start to smell like Ajax
I think that I will blow myself away . . .
The last thing I'm gonna swear on is the Bible
Because it's the one thing telling me not to swear
So if you ask me to, I don't believe I will, sir
Because in Heaven, there ain't no liars there . . .

Fool that Fell in Love
09:00
|
|||
==================================================
Loving you I had a dream in my mind
Wasting time away with you by my side
Every day I'd spend with my best friend
Memories like these cheer me up now & then . . .
But looking back I see you with your hand in mine
Wondering what you would find next to you
And I couldn't help but open my heart
To you at the same time that you did, too
And we will never know a love so kind
I wanted you for all time & I still do
But now that everything has gone awry
Welcome to the lonely life of a
Fool that fell in love
Every time I see you out & about
How I wish that things could've worked themselves out
Nothing seems to bring your love back to me
Well I guess some things are just meant to be . . .
But looking back I see you with your hand in mine
Wondering what you might find next to you
And I couldn't help but open my heart
To you at the same time that you did, too
And we will never know a love so kind
I wanted you for all time & I still do
But now that everything has gone awry
Welcome to the lonely life of a
Fool that fell in love
