Jamie, what you doin' now
What you doin' now girl?
Please, please tell me
Cuz I need to know, I need to know now
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
But Jamie, I want you to know
Jamie, Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time
Jamie, who's faxin' you now?
Who's dialin' your car phone?
Please, please be true
You know that I trust you, do that which you must do
You've got the Beach Boys, and your friend's got the Stones
But I know you won't leave me alone
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, It hurts me so much
You are the most, you're so rad, you're so fresh and i'm so bad
I am yours, you are mine
Show me where and I will sign
Jaime, believe me, I won't let you down
Cuz you are the best lawyer in town

I was in the café eating my food quite peacefully
When a friend of mine from across the table turned round and spoke to me
This salad's really good he said, he was really packing it in
And then he said with a gleam in his eye and a grin:
Angels make that coleslaw
Just the other day i was wondering what to do with all my time
I went back to that café because the salad was mighty fine
I walked in the door and joined the end of a great big waiting line
And as i waited i saw this little sign:
Angels make that coleslaw
Now i don't mean to create a scene
The coleslaw's good it that's what you mean
I've eaten coleslaw but this is the best i guess
'cos angels make that coleslaw
Now demons make those baked potatoes and the devil fries those chips
My tongue recoils in horror as they both pass my lips
I've found a food far better than lasagne or cheese dip
So listen to me and take heed of this tip:
Angels make that coleslaw

Well i drank a little beer and i drank a little wine
I drank a little vodka, now i'm feeling mighty fine
I drank a little rum with a little splash of coke
I took a cigarette and i proceeded to smoke it
Now i'm feeling fine
Now i'm feeling fine
Well i drank myself some coffee and i drank myself some tea
I looked into the mirror for to have a look at me
I looked into my eyes and said "why don't you go away?"
And i waited expectantly for what i had to say
Now i'm feeling fine
Now i'm feeling fine
sometimes i wish i could go away
sometimes i wish there was another way
sometimes i can't think of what to say
'Scuse me sir, but you're in the way (get out of the way!)
Well i drank a little beer and i drank a little wine
I drank a little vodka, now i'm feeling mighty fine
I drank myself some rum with a little splash of coke
I took a cigarette and i proceeded to smoke it
Now i'm feeling fine
Now i'm feeling fine
Well i drank myself some coffee and i drank myself some tea
I looked into the mirror for to have a look at me
I looked into my eyes and said "why don't you go away?"

Computer
03:50
|

Look into my eyes and i'll show you something
Don't take away my flies and don't jump on a spring
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore
Eat more tobacco and never go out to play
Watch your own hand grow and throw yourself away
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore
Sing a sad song and give yourself a plan
Find a shoe where you belong and telephone a man
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore

Once I let my friends wet shave my hair
Now I've got no hair and no clothes to wear
I jumped into a wicker basket
Casket
Yeah, don't let your friends cut your hair
Don't cut your own hair
Go to the hairdresser like everybody else
It's cheaper there
I used to have hair down to my knees
Now I've got no hair and I'd ike it back please
People with hair, they don't know they've been born
Shorn
Yeah, don't let your friends cut your hair
Don't cut your own hair
Go to the hairdresser like everybody else
It's cheaper there
I have not any hair
Hair I have not any
Not any hair have I
Have hair any I not
Don't let your friends cut your hair
Don't cut your own hair
Go to the hairdresser like everybody else
It's cheaper there
Unless you go to one of them fancy salons, yeah

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I'm singin' so much higher baby than the birds in the trees
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl

I told you I don't like it when you wear that dress
You take what you're given and you'll like it
So dream on, my sweet and little one
I know what you say about me when I'm not there
'Cos these walls are paper thin you know
I hear your footsteps as you go
You'll never make the door in time
You're mine completely, completely
Sit down and keep your mouth shut
I'll tell you when I want you to say something
Say something now
Say something, say something now
I dare you
I dare you
I dare you
I dare you
Sorry, I didn't mean to treat you quite so bad
You only hurt the ones you love, well that's what they say
Say something, say something
Say something, say something now
I dare you
I dare you
I dare you
I dare you

Bug You
03:12
|
|||
|
Walking down the main street of somebody else's life
Filling in the space in somebody else's wife
Don't it really bug you when i get under your skin?
But the more that you get riled, the more i will begin
To bug you (to such a degree)
To such a degree (to such a degree that you kill me)
Giving out the shit that nobody else deserves
Killing all the love that somebody's life preserves
I'm a first degree bastard and i couldn't give a damn
you can take my middle finger, and you know where you can cram it
To bug you (to such a degree)
To such a degree (to such a degree that you kill me)
|

Well i was walking down the street just the other day
When this funky little policeman comes walking my way
And i said "hey man, why don't you try some of this?"
And he said "no, it looks like some of that funny piss"
And i said "hey there doctor, please won't you give me some cheese?"
He took me down to the station and he took off all my clothes
And he said "hey what are these, and what are those"
And i said "that's some tabs of acid, that's some Es and that's some speed"
And he said "i'll take these, they look like just what i need"
And i said "hey there doctor, please won't you give me some cheese?"
Hey, where did you go last night?
Hey where did you go last night?
You didn't come home till the sun was shining bright
He reached into my pockets and he pulled out all my cash
And that was the horrible moment when he found all my stash
It got even worse when he found all the opium and crack
And he said "i arrest you under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971"
And i said "hey there doctor, please won't you give me some cheese?"
So i'm rotting away in my prison room
And i've got a severe case of the doom and gloom
They fined me all my money and they threw away the key
So the only thing that's left to do is just eat cheese
And i said "hey there doctor, please won't you give me some cheese?"
And i said "hey there doctor, please won't you give me some cheese?"

Simple Simon went down to his local DSS
They said "do you want money?" he answered them "yes"
They said "you'll get no money so just you go away"
"Do you think that we are paying you to work or just to play"
"You've got to prove you're looking for employment" they said
"You don't just think we're paying you for staying home in bed
"Four million unemployed in this country alone
So Simple Simon get a job, or just go home"
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair
Said simple Simon to the pieman "let me taste your wares"
Said the pieman to Simon "let me see your penny"
Said Simon to the pieman "no, indeed i have not any"

Waiting For The Summer
03:47
|
|||
|
Freezing cold but there's Sun
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
I like to feel safe in the happiness
I like to feel warm in the Sun
I dream about going on holiday
When the summer has only just begun
Freezing cold but there's Sun
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
I like to listen to the birds sing
I like to watch the passing clouds
I like to look at the trees with their leaves on
And know that the winter has gone
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me

Whispers In The Wind
04:47
|
|||
|
Words issue from my mouth
And make me think about
The things that i can't say today
Tea with milk and sugar please
Serve it up with cheese
And eat it with a piece of toast
What's the name you always notice?
Standing in the wind and singing
Where's the thing you once were proud of?
I can hear the distance ringing true
Think about what you have done
Avoiding all the Sun
And standing in the rain with me
What's the thing that you fear most?
Is it still the ghost
Of things that never quite were true?
What's the name you always notice?
Standing in the wind and singing
Where's the thing you once were proud of?
I can hear the distance ringing true
Whispers in the wind
Long, drawn out
Sing or shout
Think of who
Who are you?
What's the name you always notice?
Standing in the wind and singing
Where's the thing you once were proud of?
I can hear the distance ringing true
Whispers in the wind

I've had a hard day at work and so I think I'll take up smoking
Though I don't smoke, you know
When I'm finished work I'll buy some fags and I think that I will smoke them
I'll need a lighter
And I think I'll take up smoking
And I think that I will
Twenty years from now
I'll be smoking still
Ooh
I tried to smoke once but all I did was cough my lungs up
And drool on the filter
I never wanted to smoke so much in my life
But it doesn't matter I would say
You get more breaks then anyway
And I think I'll take up smoking
And I think that I will
Twenty years from now
I'll be smoking still
And I think I'll take up smoking
And I think that I will
Twenty years from now
I'll be smoking still
Ooh

All the songs that I've sung you
More often than you know
You're the love that I've clung to
More often than I've let it show.
And I wish you would leave me
And I wish you would go
And I wish you didn't need me
And I wish I didn't love you so.
'Cause I just can't go on
So please don't do me wrong
No I won't do you harm
My love for you goes on and on
There's no-one else I want beside you
Give me your coldest shoulder to cry upon
You're never anywhere I find you
You're never anything I rely upon.
And I wish you would leave me
And I wish you would go
And I wish you didn't need me
And I wish I didn't know.
That I just can't go on
So please don't do me wrong
No I won't do you harm
My love for you goes on and on
No I just can't go on
So please don't do me wrong
No I won't do you harm
My love
Goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on and on and on.

Sleepyhead

Sleepyhead has got nothing to say
To the people that she calls friends
My sister's got a rhyme today
They say she doesn't know
Sunset tells the end of day
Now it's time for dark
Heart
And last night i cried myself to sleep
Tears in my eyes were all i could see
And in my life i walk a lonely street
Tears in my eyes were all i could see
Well them strings don't look bright now
Fingers leave another stain
Wish upon a star somehow
Know it won't come true
Autumn takes a final bow
Leaves its mark on
Me
And last night i cried myself to sleep
Tears in my eyes were all i could see
And in my life i walk a lonely street
Tears in my eyes were all i could see
Why, why why why?

Politics, politics, don't talk to me about
Politics, politics, i couldn't care less
All you every talk about is politics, politics
There's other things that matter in this world today
Well i ain't got no money and nothing to eat
Ain't got no job and no house and no friends and i got no place to sleep
I got problems that are out of this world
So don't talk to me about politics, girl

I used to be a genius but now i'm cured
thought i was alive but i was just fooled
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
And maybe it will rain today, it's anybody's guess
I think i'll run away and die just like the rest, but
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
I know i should have really tried to cry upon your shoulder
But as the time passed by i just seemed to get older
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
If things are different now, you know i'm truly sorry
I tried too hard and things fell down around me
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
Now we know just what we know, it isn't very much
I'm not sure what i can do to try and stop the rust
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near

I wish I was a rabbit
Rabbits can run
I wish I was a rabbit
Rabbits can run
I'd be 15 thousand miles away
Before you shoot your gun
I wish I was a bird
Birds can fly
I wish I was a bird
Birds can fly
I'd be fifteen thousand miles away
Before you say goodbye

One Hit Wonder
04:09
|

If this sounds familiar there's good reason
The words were blowing in the breeze and
I just picked them up out of thin air
Don't listen too close, i don't want you
Disappointed though this may haunt you in
Your sleep, though you won't even care
'Cos i'm a one hit wonder, baby you can't have any more
You've heard it all before
I'm a one hit wonder, baby you can't have any more
You might say that it's peculiar
That i'm always trying to fool you
Telling you that i am feeling fine
I wanna be just like i used to
But i'm feeling so confused and
You're so far away most of the time
And i'm a one hit wonder, baby you can't have any more
You've heard it all before
I'm a one hit wonder, baby you can't have any more
Singing truths that only i can see
Living life, why do you disagree?
Where once were two there now is only me
I'm only singing words after all
If this sounds familiar there's good reason
The words were blowing in the breeze and
I just picked them up out of thin air
I haven't quite said what i wanted to say yet
I wrote this song for you but i bet
You won't even notice that it's there
|

I got chills, they're multiplying
And i'm losing control
Because the power that you're supplying
It's electrifying
You better shape up 'cos I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you gotta understand
To my heart i must be true
There's nothing left for me to do
You're the one that i want ooh ooh ooh
You're the one that i want ooh ooh ooh
I got chips and they're on fire
And I'm losing control
'Cos the flames are burning higher
It's a funeral pyre

There'll be knock
Ring
Letters through your door

If it's not one thing, it's the other
You've got your head inside a box
Well, you're a master at talking nonsense
You'd better double check all the locks
Well it's all because of you
What i've got to do
It's never easy to be who
You really want to be
If it's not one thing, it's your mother
Reading through all your private facts
About all your secret lovers
And all your separate and distant acts
Well it's all because of you
What i've got to do
It's never easy to be who
You really want to be
I'm on a double decker bus to heaven
If it's not one thing, it's your brother
Selling off your bass guitar
For fourteen dollars and twenty cents
How enterprising, he'll go far
Well it's all because of you
What i've got to do
It's never easy to be who
You really want to be
Two bees, bee have and bee quiet
Go out and play, with his favourite toy
And the big bad...
I'm on a double decker bus to heaven

Five Pieces of Silver

Five pieces of silver burning a hole in my head
Wish that i'd gone with her, even wish that i'd been dead
Five pieces of copper scattered on the ground
Brings back all of those memories, when will she come around to me?
One two three four five pieces of silver
Five pieces of glass
Well you know this isn't the first time
First time this has happened to me
And it sure won't be the nearest thing to me, yeah yeah
Five pieces of silver, five pieces of gold
Weighing down in my pockets, making me feel so doggone old
All mymoney's worthless, gonna have it till i'm dead
All my love is worth as much as five pieces of lead to me
Five pieces of silver
One two three four five pieces of brass
Well this couldn't have been the first time, first time
And it won't be the nearest thing to me, yeah yeah
Five pieces of silver
Five pieces of grass
Well you know this could never have been the first time
And it sure won't be the last

Sun passes over like an empty mist
Time flies and we don't exist
The world is curled into a tiny fist
And i can't explain it
I won't care
I don't care
I can't care anyway
The clock stops but still it stands
We can't move its frozen hands
Time's fabric torn into strands
And i can't explain it
I won't care
I don't care
I can't care anyway
You won't catch me anyway
Not that you could see me anyway
You won't catch me anyway
Sun passes over like an empty mist
Time flies and we don't exist
The world is curled into a tiny fist
And i can't explain it
The clock's stopped and still it stands
We can't move its frozen hands
Time's fabric torn into strands
And i can't explain it
I won't care

Now, I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Our love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Come shout come sing
Of the great sea king
And the fame
That now hangs overhead
Who once did sweep for the vanquish deep
And drove the world before him
Where the sea king king rides
Where the sea king dies
Where the sea king rides
Where the sea king dies
His deck was a throne
For the ocean lone
And the sea
Was his park of pleasure
When he scattered in fear
The human deer
And rested when he had leisure
Where the sea king king rides
Where the sea king dies
Where the sea king rides
Where the sea king dies
His whole earth life
Was a conquering strife
And he lived 'til his beard grew hoary
When he died at last
By his blood red mast and now he's lost in glory
Come shout, come sing
Of the great sea king
And ride the track the he rode in
He sits at the head
Of the mighty dead
At the red right hand of Odin

You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
Things were different then
On the inside the sun still shines
The rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
Till morning comes around
Last night i dreamt we were together
Sharing all the love we've known
But i had to face the nightmare
Of waking up alone
On the inside the roses grow
They don't mind the stoney ground
But the roses are just prisoners too
Till morning comes around
On the inside the roses grow
They don't mind the stoney ground (no they don't)
But the roses are just prisoners too
Till morning comes around

(Just A Pack Of) Animals
03:32
|

|
Animal to animal, it's difficult to tell the differences
When all you do is eat and sleep, a cliché for these mindless sheep
Because you're just a pack of animals
Because you're just a pack of animals
And you don't give a shit
And you're just a pack of animals
Don't tell me you can see it, i know you can't
I don't believe it for a minute
You don't delight in anything, you never even stop to wonder why
And the things that you're superior to
You're jealous of, you torture till they cry
Because you're just a pack of animals
Because you're just a pack of animals
And you don't give a shit
Because you're just a pack of animals
Don't tell me you can see it, i know you can't
I don't believe it for a minute
You know you can't
I don't believe it for a minute
Because you're just a pack of animals
Because you're just a pack of animals
And you don't give a shit
Because you're just a pack of animals
Don't tell me you can see it, i know you can't

A quiet night in town
Summer breeze still brings me down
Not a soul around
Not a soul in this whole town
La la la la
la la la la
la la la la
We wrap up warm
'Gainst the tide, the rain and sun
And when the days are long
When i sing my saddest song
La la la la
la la la la
la la la la
