Other People

you're fast asleep
so i creep across the bedroom in my slippers
i leave you this here note
i put my suit on, I tie my shoes, I comb my hair, and zip my zippers
and then I'm gone
out the door
telling you this in a letter is not what I preferred
but you fly right off the handle and I never feel heard
lets face it, you get so angry that your vision gets blurred
So i gotta write these words
I think we should see other people
Ok I confess that maybe I already am
you're shocked that I became so venal?
why couldn't you just love me the way that i am
if you're asking why
and my reply is its not you its me. but actually it is you. you're mean
you're rude and too demanding for a start
inside your chest there beats a cold frozen heart
oh wait theres more
You tell me that you hate all my friends and all the stuff that i like
I don't recall seeing a crazy like yours in my book for psych
you're like a snake, you lie in wait until I'm weak then you strike
so while I got the mic
I think we should see other people
Ok I confess that maybe I already am
you're shocked that I became so venal?
why couldn't you just love me the way that i am
when I think about the night when we met
you said you loved all my little quirks
now all i do is just make you fret
changing gestalt is just too much damn work
so I got myself a brand new phone number so don't try to call me
just take your nagging wings. fly away. I set you free
besides, you always said that you could do much better than me
heres your chance
I think we should see other people
Ok I confess that maybe I already am
you're shocked that I became so venal?
why couldn't you just love me the way that i am
I think we should see other people
Ok I confess that maybe I already am
you're shocked that I became so venal?
why couldn't you just love me the way that i am

I Believe In Fate
03:07
|
|||
I was barely alive the Summer of eight five
I got my license so I could drive
my pal and me headed North across the border
passport check, came correct our i.d.'s were in order
we met some ladies that thickened the plot
our wild weekend all but forgot
fast forward twenty years to the present day
I got a Facebook message that blew me away
say what you will but I still believe in fate
paths finally crossing only twenty years late
all kinds of crazy I just can't contemplate
I tell 'ya baby some things are worth wait
we both led lives that ran a parallel course
we grew up, had some kids, and we both got divorced
but we connect like we are sharing one brain
and when we kiss the fireworks are insane
Chorus 2Xs
I can't believe it took so long for us to collide
is it some karmic plan? well thats for you to decide
but i believe deep down in my heart and soul
that the best things in life you just can't control
Chorus

It's Over
04:26
|
|||
you're sitting all starry eyed
acting preoccupied
there's a distance in your eyes
thats never been before
you're trying hard to decide
if you want to spare my pride
there's something going on inside
but you don't have to tell me.
I can see it in your eyes
you needn't bother to disguise
you make it easy to surmise
for you and me its over
my been ego's been cut down to size
no comfort from your small white lies
any fool would recognize
it over
Im no genius but I can see
that you've slipped away from me
and you wanna set me free
thats just the way things are
honesty
oh you always promised honesty
but honestly I fell in love I know
I fell in love with your lies
I can see it in your eyes
you needn't bother to disguise
you make it easy to surmise
for you and me its over
my ego's been cut down to size
no comfort from your small white lies
any fool would recognize
it over
I used to dream of you and I together
that was such a lovely and perfect dream
whoa now you scheme - to be rid of me forever
or at least thats how it seems
i have a couple things to say
before I up and walk away
I sincerely hope and pray
that you do believe me
and i truly wish there comes a day
when you fall in love all the way
that your heart gets thrown away
just like you did to me
I can see it in your eyes
you needn't bother to disguise
you make it easy to surmise
for you and me its over
my ego's been cut down to size
no comfort from your small white lies
any fool would recognize
it over

My Girlfriend
03:33
|
|||
i'm in love
well who isn't
the world's a sit com on tee vee and I live in it
my female lead
is hot and brilliant
as for me
well you could say that i'm resilient
when we met
it felt so right
i know its corny
but it was love at first sight
my mother says
she's quite the catch
anyway, lets just say
we're a perfect match
but now it seems that we've grown apart
i hope its p m s and not a change of heart
chorus
I think that my
girlfriend hates me
I say hello
and she looks at me all dazed and confused
I don't how I made her mad
maybe she has issues with her dear departed dad
i'm the guy
that women wish for
I leave my girl fresh flowers
every morning at her door
I have her photo
on all of my walls
i bugged her phone
so I can listen to her calls
know what you're thinking
i'm not jealous
at the most
maybe I'm a wee bit over zealous
i don't know why
girlfriend hates me
won't take my calls
but that don't faze me too much
i know that I, should feeling real mad
because she's out
with some hipster named Brad
plays hard to get
but i don't mind
changed her number
6 or 7 times
don't know why
she wont get it thru her gourd
we were both meant to be and
i wont be ignored
i'm not a creep
or some psycho
i watch her sleep
thru the second story window
she works out and is in such good shape
i'm gonna bring her home wrapped up in some duct tape
she'll be impressed when she sees my devotion
if not i'll just chop her up and dump her in the ocean
i won't lie
my girlfriend hates me
if she could i'm sure she would
pepper spray and taze me, it burns
can't wait until she meets my kin
but until then i'll make her put the lotion on her skin
i don't know why
my girl friend hates me
every time that i say "hi"
she has to berate me
but i guess i'm getting the last laugh
if not she's gonna get the gas
i say "yeah"

Tiffany
03:22
|
|||
I love the way she tells that I am wrong
I love the way she dances to abba songs
i love the way she shows me she can still cry
I love that could love me i don't know why
tiffany - saves her best love for me
with her is where i want to be
ooh i love my tiffany
i love the way that she teases
i love her fear of diseases
i love the way she talks to four legged friends
the list of things i love just doesn't end
my tiffany what does she see in me
no place that i would rather be
than right here with my tiffany
she thinks that i'm crazy
doesn't cease to amaze
there's no way that i'd miss this
chance to get her soft sweet kisses
and though sometimes when we fight
i give up and i tell her she's right
i love the way she shows up at my front door
i'm doomed to love this girl forever more
my tiffany
when will you finally see
that you're meant for me
i love my tiffany
i hear a symphony
when i see my tiffany
i would swim across the sea
just to be tiffany

Summer Storm
03:04
|
|||
The sky's a brilliant blue
the sun is shining high above
just for me and you
because we are so in love
as we go strolling
down through the town square
The scent of lilacs fills the air
We pass an older gent
who kindly tips his cap
and then almost on cue
there's a flash and thunderclap
just 'cause its pouring
don't you be forlorn
It just another sudden Summer Storm
I know before we met
you had your share of cloudy days
no sunny summer loves
just stormy weather
There's no need to fret
The extended forecast says
Its mostly sunny skies
now we're together
we're getting soaking wet
right here on Third and Main
The people think we're nuts just dancing in the rain
So darling please come closer- let me keep you warm
Ill hold you near through this Summer Storm
love you dear, and this summer storm

Sadie
03:51
|
|||
Now I live in a nice neighborhood
Where everybody does as they should
A perfect world made of brick and wood
Just me and little lady
Life was peachy I must say
until that fateful September day
When my next-door neighbor moved away
and in moved little Sadie
Now we tried to be neighborly
Said "hello" the wife and me
When Sadie first took a look at me
It made me feel uneasy
Sadie's a wicked lady
she cost me my wife,
ruined my life Yeah,
I'm going straight to Hades
Why did I give in?
I cant say no to sadie
I rue the day that she came around
when my baby was out of town
it started when i heard the sound
of someone at the front door knocking
she stood there dripping said she blew a fuse
asked if we had a dryer that she could use
i didn't realize it was just a ruse
until we started rocking
She said my marriage was just a lie
that my wife was messing 'round with other guys
and should she meet her own demise
Sadie would be mine forever
Sadie's a wicked lady
She gave me the knife
I used on my wife
I'm going straight to Hades
Why did I give in?
I cant say no to sadie
She said that things would be alright
when the house was bathed in red and blue lights
Then the cops came in, read me my rights
and held me 'til my trial
How did this happen? Couldn't understand
I'd always been a decent law abiding man
My fate was sealed when called to the stand
was my precious Sadie
They found me guilty and the in-law's cheered
she tapped my back and whispered in my ear
She'd been planning this for twenty years
I asked why she had betrayed me
She told me that I had played a part
in breaking her older sisters heart
and her family was ripped apart
when she ended her own life
Sadie's a wicked lady
No fury is borne
like this mad's woman's scorn
I'm going straight to Hades
Why did I give in
I cant say no to sadie

Hipster Douchebag
04:07
|
|||
I was born right here, in Middletown, America
so were my mom and dad in ’Sixty-two
my parents’ parents still live here in our neighborhood
and all of my friends do too.
I used to love Little League and playing with my Legos
Cheryl Tiegs, a bit too old for my wall
joie de vivre came from toastin' up some Eggos
and I’d never heard of Anthony Michael Hall!
[Chorus]
Bring me a PBR
forget the gin tonics
the only things I like
make me look ironic
my girl wears Vans
she won't touch no Blahniks
my closet's full of thrift store swag
I’m just another…
yeah, I’m just another hipster douche bag!
There was a fateful day at my liberal arts college
when a snide remark turned me to a twit
to my dismay worthless, obscure, stupid knowledge
became a drug that I could not quit
I wore shirts with quotes from movies never heard of
slapped a pair of skinny jeans on my size one frame
grew out my beard and waxed up my new bro-’stache
the path to hipness knows no shame.
Bring me a PBR
forget the gin tonics
everything I like
makes me look ironic
my girl wears Vans
she won't touch no Blahniks
my closet's full of thrift store swag
I’m just another…just another hipster douche bag!
[Bridge]
I have no skills the world can use
nothing's sadder than a hipster with the blues
except for a Japanese Goth kid crying
yeah, a Japanese Goth kid crying.
I’m a style plate from a 1980s movie
I wear big specs that have no working lens
I represent myself to appear much more important
but on Facebook are my only friends
I wear a white Keffiyeh, working on my screenplay
at the Starbucks where all the other writers lurk
I munch a gluten-free vegan quesadilla
which fuels my constant caustic smirk.
Bring me a PBR
forget the gin tonics
everything I like
makes me look ironic
my girl wears Vans
she won't touch no Blahniks
my closet's full of thrift store swag
I’m just another…just another hipster douche bag!

Sharks
03:32
|
|||
as long as language has been spoken
we've used words to keep spirits broken
seems its always been that way
is this learned or in our d n a?
we don't know our neighbors
we don't know ourselves
lives spent at labor
dreams put on the shelf
long since these seeds were sewn
our lives became rent to own
but we all want comfort when its cold and dark
in the sea of life swimming with the sharks
we work so hard just to leave our mark
is this all in vain?
our lives are measured with a dollar sign
this sort of thinking has made us unkind
machine hearts with mechanical minds
we can't afford to live this way
we've forgone mercy and we've embraced the greed
when its kindness and compassion that's what we need
there's so much pain and so much grief
over differing beliefs
but we all want comfort when its cold and dark
in the sea of life swimming with the sharks
we work so hard just to leave our mark
is this all in vain?
its the same old story around the world
regardless of color whether you're boy or a girl
we all like each other till our flags are unfurled
there must be a better way
(Whoa Whoa)
we pray at the alter of technology
to the detriment of our biology
we're undermining our ecology
we're chopping down our family trees
we all want comfort when its cold and dark
in the sea of life swimming with the sharks
we work so hard just to leave our mark
is this all in vain?

There's No Trace Of You
03:01
|
|||
Today's a day I'm really happy
a perfect bliss one so rarely finds
Its because I'm not thinking of you.
Theres no trace of you left on my mind
I never wonder where you are or what you're doin.
No nostalgia for the quaint spot we first dined.
Nary a memory of us kissing and cooing
Theres no trace of you left on my mind
When I hear your favorite song, I don't sing along, I can't remember how it goes
It almost seems a waste to discard each little trace of those things you do
That made me fall for you, then ripped my heart in two, what an awful thing to do.
I bet I can't remember what you look like
I finally left my broken heart behind
At last each detail of you is forgotten
Theres no trace of you left on my mind

Bounce
03:14
|
|||
I was chillin' at the casa on a Saturday night
Getting caught up on my Netflix I was feeling alright
When my tummy started rumblin' it was time to go eat
So I headed to the small cantina just down the street
There was a new girl waiting tables man she was fine
The way she walked was like slow motion, really blew my mind
She had the bounce
The girly had the bounce
The girly bounce
nothings better than the bounce
Right where it counts
She had the bounce
in large amounts
and ounce for once
nothings better than the bounce
They showed me to my table, I felt high as a kite
The new girl said im gonna be your server tonight
I hid behind my menu watched her working the room
She came to take my order I had sauteed mushrooms
I'm not the kind of guy who gets all creepy and stares
but for what this chick was packing I was unprepared
She had the bounce
The girly had the bounce
The girly bounce
nothings better than the bounce
Right where it counts
She had the bounce
in large amounts
and ounce for once
nothings better than the bounce
Fast forward later in the evening, they were ready to close
After watching all that bouncing I could of proposed
I told her when her shift was over- if she'd nothing to do
I'd love to have her over for a cocktail or two
She said she'd love to come by and kick it for a while
Then she flashed that wicked white smile
That night we bounced
The girly had the bounce
and ounce for once
nothings better than the bounce
Right where it counts
She had the bounce
in large amounts
and ounce for once
nothings better than the bounce

Growly Girl
03:05
|
|||
she's a growly girl
sometimes a handful
growly girl sometimes she's a pill
but when she smiles
she makes time stand still
i love her now and i always will
an awesome girl
but she doesn't see it
the room lights up
when she walks thru the door
she's a flawless pearl
but she won't admit it
she rocks my world right down to the core
sometimes it rough when she's irritated
her words are like weapons they cut like a knife
the thing we have well its complicated
but i feel so blessed that she's in my life
she's a growly girl
sometimes she's spiteful
a growly girl sometimes she's mean
but when she smiles
she's so delightful
the loveliest woman i've ever seen
|
||||
13. |
||||
everybody's got the one love they know they wont forget
its what keeps them up at night hearts heavy with regret
might be the one that got away
or one they've never met
everybody writes their own sad song
Its a story thats been told a millions different ways
Expressing that deep sorrow in melodic phrase
Some will make you cry - some will brighten up your days
everybody writes their own sad song
While a broken heart is healing
while your head is reeling
There's a way we keep our souls well fed.
there aint no concealing
sorting out your feelings
and put them all to music in your head
don't matter if you sing for money, or cant carry a tune
Maybe it aint happened yet but no one is immune
Someday you'll feel your heart break
Its as certain as the moon
Everybody writes their own sad song.

Awful
03:36
|
|||
I never thought, I would tell a lie
like the one that I told last night
three little words couldn't be more trite
leading you on well it just aint right
I'm in love but not with you
its not fair
I made you feel like you do
I guess I'm an awful human being
I guess I'm just an awful man
here's where our story ends
wish that i could make amends
sorry i can't pretend
that hearts don't break
instead of bend
why can't we love the ones we choose to
instead of chasing after somebody who
turns out to be an awful human being
I guess I'm just an awful man
Call it insecurity or maybe immaturity
but most assuredly It's an awful trait
I fall far too hurriedly why can't i ever see
that all good things come to those who wait
don't try to understand why i am the way i am
i swear it this was unplanned - broken hearted slight of hand
i'm in love but not with you
i hope these words I choose aren't misconstrued
i guess i'm an awful human being
i guess i'm just an awful man
i guess i'm an awful human being
i guess i'm just an awful man

I Need You

OLD LYRICS BELOW THESE
I need you
more than I ever have before
since the day you walked out the door
i've tried so hard but I can't ignore
how much I miss you
A hot and sultry summer evening
Another night spent all alone
I found a nice house to live in
without you it not a home
'cause i need you
more than you will ever know
you live inside my heart and soul
I know i need to let you go
but i don't want to
I walk along the street bathed in moonlight
with countless stars up in the sky
they used to shine for us so brightly
its seems they've dimmed since your love died
and I still fall in love each time every time I hear your sweet angel's voice
I've tried to get you off my mind but who we love is not our choice
i need you
like the blood coursing through my veins
fills the heart my chest contains
deep inside one thing remains
i still love you
and I still fall in love each time every time I hear your sweet angel's voice
I try to get you off my mind but who we love is not our choice
'cause i need you
more than you will ever know
you live inside my heart and soul
I know that i must let you go
but i miss you
i miss your eyes, i miss your face
i miss your smile when we embrace
don't way what what you say or do
i wont ever stop loving you
*******************************

I Don't Love You
02:25
|
|||
It's obvious that I don't love you
just because I'm thinking of you
and theres no one else above
or nothing in the world for you
i wouldn't do
does that sound like love to you
i have no reason, grounds, nor proof
one needn't be a gumshoe sleuth
for toward you I act so aloof
id rather pull a wisdom tooth
or drink some dry vermouth
its not love and that's the truth
it is said that all is fair dans l'amour
and et la guerre
just because I want to share
my life with you please be aware
its plain as day the love's not there
even though you haunt my dreams
and give my eyes a little gleam
i try to hatch the best laid schemes
just to kiss your luscious lips supreme
thats far from love it would seem

Let's Call It Quits
04:22
|
|||
I’ve kissed a girl or two before I met you
And my lips have never steered me wrong
But when we kissed I couldn't resist
The attraction was just too strong
We pledged that we would both be true,
We'd even planned to say “I do”
but now you’re out with someone new
Boy did it go wrong
Why put-off what-we could do today
We should go our separate ways
Put and end to this sad charade
Forget our special song
That’s it, let’s call it quits and say so long
The weekend that we shared in Paris
We were carefree, giddy and gay
Looking back I'm so embarrassed
To have my heart broken that way
That was then and this is now
Time to take our final bow
You'll happier anyhow
The curtains down, I’m moving on,
That’s it let’s call it quits and say so long
|

I've never been one to chase after the sun
or tan my skin golden brown
Some say I'm insane, 'cause I love the rain
Especially in my home town
My heaven is found, on the shores of Puget Sound
Its a joy that I can't explain. In Seattle when it rains
I get such a thrill, looking out from Queen Anne Hill
I adore the cobblestone lanes
and how they glisten when it rains
Hear the tick tick tock of the market clock
as the merchants sell their wares.
If you're feeling blue stroll fifth avenue
Say "adieu" to all your cares
I hear the happy notes of the ferry boats
as they sing their glad refrain.
And when raindrops hit my window pane
and skies are painted gray.
I get such a hoot under my bumbershoot
in Seattle when it rains.

Stuck Together
02:27
|
|||
You know we're stuck with each other right?
no matter with whom or where we spend our nights
even on transatlantic flights its a fact we're stuck together
I see your face when i shut the lights
I sigh at thoughts of our tantric rites
depression low or manic's heights
forget tact we're stuck together
Sometimes when your cold glare bites
or you tell me to go fly kites
snarky snarks snarked right out of spite
its cupids pact we're together right?
on judgement day when God indicts me
for my sins I shall be contrite
but in my sentence i'll delight
eternally stuck together
its a fact we're stuck together
forget tact we're stuck together
Sometimes when your cold glare bites
or you tell me to go fly kites
snarky snarks snarked right out of spite
its cupids pact we're together right?
on judgement day when God indicts me
for my sins I shall be contrite
but in my sentence i'll delight
eternally stuck together
its a fact we're stuck together
you and me, stuck together

Tell The Neighbors
01:12
|
|||
This gal I know really knocks me out
When she smiles at me I just want to shout
To the neighbors, to some strangers, to my best friend
Man! She's the living end.
And I hope that she feels the same way too
I'd be a lucky cat boy I'm telling you
Tell the neighbors, tell some strangers
Tell the stars above. Man this could be love.
Flowers bloom, birds sing in tune
Whenever she is near.
Right from the start she stole my heart
and banished all my fears
I hope that she doesn't make me wait
too long before we go on our date
Tell the neighbors, tell some strangers,
Tell the guy next door
She's who I've been waiting for.

Vinyl
03:41
|

I have lied
I have cheated
I have triumphed
I've been defeated
half my life
I have wandered
Fortune and love
I have squandered
my jaded heart
it's still broken
still holding on
to words once spoken
weighed down by fear
as I grow older
I miss my youth. (where is my youth)
when I was bolder
I feel my life's a vinyl record
That keeps playing the same old song
but the needle keeps on skipping so I can't sing along
I'm ignored
More than I'm mentioned
I've more sins
than I've confessions
such foolish schemes
fueled by ambition
forsaking dreams of my volition
life's too short to be unsure
time flies by, the years they blur
don't waste this gift being insecure
Live for today not as you were
I have loved
I have hated
I've known sorrow
I've been elated
I've been flat broke
and I've had money
and I've choked on milk and honey

Drown
03:27
|
|||
Why am I wearing heavy boots?
I feel so disconnected,
need to get back to my roots,
where my path was first selected
feeling void of any highs or lows
I don't feel human tell me who's to blame
how did i get here? only heaven knows
who am I? do you know my name
CHORUS
Can't stay afloat much longer
so tired of being pulled down
why should i even try and bother
Perhaps I should stop fighting it and drown
If I were a littler braver
I would surrender to the sea
ironic that my fear and weakness
the only that are things saving me
Why can't I put my head under the surface
and draw the water in as if to breathe
the will to live has it any purpose
I don't which lie I should believe
CHORUS
it feels so hopeless - why cant i end this
alone and friendless - my pain is endless
no way to mend this - i can't defend this
I feel my body fail, why am I fighting?
is there no one here to rescue me?
I feel like i am effortlessly flying
does anybody care i'm lost at sea?
If I were a littler braver
I would surrender to the sea
ironic that my fear and weakness
are the only things left that are saving me

Things Will Only Get Better
Words and Music by HB Radke
Well I hear you broke your heart for the very first time
You try but you can’t shake this awful frame of mind
You just can’t eat or sleep and you feel like you’re dyin’
One minute you’re laughing the next one you’re cryin’
I know that life is feeling unfair
and it seems like the people around you don’t care
But I’ve got a little secret to share
Things will only get better
Right now you’re living underneath a giant cloud
You feel like you’re all alone even in a big crowd
You want to show your feelings but it just ain’t allowed
And your inner-voice is yelling “Call Them!” really loud
Love is just like fortune and cash
You have it one minute then its gone in a flash
So before you go and do something rash
Things will only get better
I know that you’re living in your own private personal hell
And I know you don’t believe me but I promise that I’ve been there as well
So when you’re sittin’ all alone with your self-doubt in the dark
Remember that its bite ain’t as bad as its bark
And though you feel your love life is jumping the shark
It gets better
Its written that time will mend all broken hearts
Let’s see them try to say that with theirs ripped apart
If this is how love ends then why even start?
Just take some time to get the horse before the cart
As certain as the stars in the sky
All off sudden in the blink of an eye
You’ll find yourself in love feeling like you can fly
Things will only get better

i never knew that lovin' could be so good until I met you.
its elemental, transcendental
and sometimes its sentimental too
my mama tells me that you're trouble
and I should stay away and leave you be
but after what we had last night,
there's no way you're getting rid of me.
You're like Molasses
So thick and sticky and sweet
You're like Molasses
You're my favorite sexy tasty treat
When the lord put you together
he must have been feeling really good
you've been blessed, and you possess
sexiness than any woman should
You're like Molasses
So thick and sticky and sweet
You're like Molasses
You're my favorite sexy tasty treat
You knock me out. make me want to shout
every time you gimmie what you got
you smell so nice, you're my only vice
come on baby come get it one more time
I'm on my knees, so baby please come back inside
and lets work up a sweat
Please don't leave you best believe that you're the best damn lover I have met
You're like Molasses
So thick and sticky and sweet
You're like Molasses
You're my favorite sexy tasty treat

I used to be a swinger a bona fide bell ringer
now I just toddle tea
I stay in and be happy
look what love's done to me
I used to be a rover a full time Casanova
A new gal each day of the week
I've said "so long" to those others
Look what loves done to me
I lived a bachelors life for certain
smokey nights of wine and flirting
Never getting home 'til after three
Now Im assertin' I don't mind picking' out curtains
Domestication is the life for me.
my buddies all got wary
when I said i'm getting married
They fainted when I swore it was true
hey pal! it can even happen to you
That is what love can do.
I lived a bachelors life for certain
smokey nights of wine and flirting
Never getting home 'til after three
Now Im assertin' I don't mind picking' out curtains
and bouncing a baby on my knee
Ever since the day I married,
every Thomas, Dick, and Harry
say I got their Sympathy
that my fate is guaranteed
When will they finally see
Im as happy as I can be
Thats what thats what loves done to me

I Really Got Kissed 2011
03:12
|
|||
I thought that love at first sight
was just another advertising invention
created with the intention
of selling some flowers
After spending years alone
I finally felt at home with rejection
Became best friends with depression
My outlook was dour
But then I started to believe
That true love might exist
'cause on Valentine's Eve
I really got kissed
Men much smarter than I can not tell me why
some people find love, fame and fortune
in double large portions
while lonely hearts starve
The question of why
doesn't always need a rhyme or a reason
or particular season
Thats just the way that things are
I think I might believe
That true love may exist
'cause on Valentine's Eve
I really got kissed
It was the kind of kiss that curls your toes
shivers down your spine
Where we're heading only heaven knows
but a kiss like that is a really good sign
As I headed back home
I started thinking 'bout writing this song
Yeah Its been so very long
Since I had been struck
It's so funny how fate
waits 'til you're not expecting
when gloom is all you're projecting
and proves that life doesn't suck
I know that I believe
That true love does exist
'cause on Valentine's Eve
I really got kissed
I really got kissed
I really got kissed
I really got kissed

I Need To Tell You
02:25
|

They say that man don't live on bread alone
They also say his castle is his home
No man is an island they have all remarked
They all sound clueless, shooting in the dark
All these metaphors, similes and such
Look good on paper but they don't help me much
I need to tell you
yeah I really really do
Is my message getting through
I really really love you.
hurry back to me, 'cause time is wasting
If you want the pudding's proof, its in the tasting
Let's share a smoke of loved fumed sighs
Or a couple cocktails and some small white lies
live inside my heart, you don't have to pay no rent.
So sick of loneliness I gave it up for lent.
I need to tell you
yeah I really really do
Is my message getting through
I really really love you.
Need to communicate
Don't hesitate to contemplate
if this is this fate, its not too late
i think you're great, i'm at your gate
don't make me wait
You create, a blissful state, pupils dilate, and my heart rate
let's not debate. your charm's innate, lets set a date, please be my mate
I know you're sitting on some far off tropic beach
But you could be next to me and still way out of reach
I need to tell you
yeah I really really do
Is my message getting through
I really really love you.

Clear Heels
Words and Music by HB Radke
I was out just the other day
Soaking up some rays
My head all full of nothing
That’s when I thought about the ways
She hurts me with games she plays
When i tripped over something
As I got up from the ground
I heard a certain rhythmic sound
That always makes my heartbeat pound
You know that I go crazy for
Clear Heels Make me want to shout
Clear Heels theres something about
Clear Heels That make act all loopy
She said her name was Lexus
She moved here from Texas
Where she was a dancer
I asked if her night was free
To have some drinks with me
“I’d love to” was her answer
When I showed up at her door
She said that bars were such a bore
Her cocktail dress then hit the floor
She was standing there in nothing but
Clear Heels Make me want to grin
Clear Heels Wear them for the win
Clear Heels They make me act all loopy
So she rocked my world and then
She rocked it once again
I thought I’d gone to heaven
After she pinned me on the floor
She showed me to the door
Said she had a date at Seven
She asked for my assistance
Wanted me to pay her rent
If only my brain was in charge.
I would have said get bent.
Clear Heels I loose all my will
Clear Heels now I pay her bills
Clear Heels why did i start messing with
Clear Heels give me such a thrill
Clear Heels I cant get my fill
Clear Heels let that be a lesson

poor little goth girl
big chip on her shoulder
skulking 'round the mall
hating on the posers
poor little goth girl
can't seem to get it through her head
that Bela Lugosi's still
yeah Bela Lugosi's still
Bela Lugosi's still
he's still dead
poor little goth girl
all fear and all loathing
always dressed up
in her black clothing
poor little goth girl
so young and full of dread
Bela Lugosi's still
yeah, Bela Lugosi's still
Bela Lugosi's still
he's still dead
BRIDGE
you think life is painful
an awful mistake
you're your parent's pariah
they've had all they can take
an unbearable burden
that's yours all alone
a mascara messiah
in your suburban home
yeah, suburban home
poor little goth girl
so full of crap
here's a picture of her
when she worked at the gap
so little goth girl
when you're in
your pink Barbie bed

Wait For You
Words and Music by HB Radke
another perfect day
i'm thinking of you
i know your heart's with him
but what can i do except
swallow my pride
and turn away
forget about all the things you say
keep my feelings deep inside
forget about the nights i've cried
CHORUS
i know you love him thats no surprise
when you hear his name you get mesmerized
and though you break my heart
when will you realize, that i'll wait for you
until the end of time
you're gone tonight. i'm sitting in your room
alone tonight, i can smell your sweet perfume
and i wonder, do you say the things to me
that you say to him?
so many thoughts rush through my brain
where do i begin
CHORUS
ooh time keeps on passing, time keeps slipping by
time keeps on passing, time keeps slipping by but i still try
i try to think of something clever to say
to sway affection my way
tell me what is the right thing to do?
i just want to be close to you
i can't say a word, or shed a tear
i simply melt when you are near
i've got these feelings so deep inside
you don't know how i've tried
CHORUS

You Are
03:14
|

You are really something else
A luscious little catastrophe
You are so very bad for my health
I don't know how you do this to me.
You are well beyond my imagination
I can't dream up something this good
You are at the root of my frustration
When this all began I misunderstood that
YOU ARE GONNA BE THE DEATH OF ME
I DON'T MIND, THAT DON'T SEEM SO BAD
YOU ARE SUCKING THE LIFE RIGHT FROM ME
YOU'RE THE BEAST THAT'S DRIVING ME MAD
You are.. a tall cool drink of hemlock
Poured in that obscenely tight dress
You are… so figuratively punk rock
you push me past the point of excess
You are a picture perfect sadist
up on all the latest techniques
I know I should really hate this
But I don't know whats come over me
YOU ARE GONNA BE THE DEATH OF ME
DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WANT ME SO BAD
YOU ARE SUCKING THE LIFE BREATH FROM ME
BUT YOU'RE THE BEST THAT I'VE EVER HAD
You bit me down deep where its still raw
you broke my will just like raymond shaw
my hunger’s burning deep deep down in my soul
ive lost all control.

Pretentious
03:18
|
|||
IT was nineteen eighty three
just a couple of friends and me
found a brand new sound for us to listen to
it was music from machines that
filled our heads with quantized dreams
and from these new data streams we were programmed
to be PRETENTIOUS, conscientious of our hair, clothes and our make up when we wake up we'll talking like we're from Britain.
We searched both far and wide, for where our style was amplified, we were finally satisfied with a place called Skoochie's.
We found people just like us, looking back it was hilarious, all adorned in black smoking djarum cigarettes
we were PRETENTIOUS, conscientious of our hair, clothes and our make up when we wake up we'll talking like we're from Britain.
we worshiped a one armed dee jay who would preach with songs that he by like Tear for Fears, Depeche Mode and New Order.
some of those memories just fade out like the batcave where we made out but im still turned on by the scent of aqua net and white linen.
we were PRETENTIOUS, conscientious of our hair, clothes and our make up when we wake up we'll talking like we're from Britain.

Celebrate and all I ask is

and to your own self always be true
and though I may not live forever

brand new friends that you haven't met
and at week's end when work is done
take the time to have some fun
but don't forget…to
Celebrate and all I ask is
do your best, as time passes
to your own self always be true
and though I may not live forever
you'll do fine in life's endeavor
no matter what ill always love you
So tread boldly to the unknown
my fearless angel you are not alone
such a long and scary road ahead
you will find you'll do fine just remember what I said
winters here skies are clear
and the trees the trees the trees are bare
spring is not that far behind
think of the summer times we shared
Celebrate and all I ask is
do your best, don't skip classes
and to your own self always be true

Get Up! Rise Up! Reach Up! And touch the stars
Get Up! Rise Up! We're on our way to mars
Tonight is special for you and me and everybody here.
Swimming in the liquid love away from all our fears
Tonight we can all come together and elevate as one
Tonight we can all live like gods until the morning sun
CHORUS
Tonight is so unusual and glorious to see
Flying through the milky way no place I'd rather be
Tonight we can forget our troubles with the time we got
Tonight we fly as one together what a splendid thought
CHORUS
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let them tear you down with the words they say
Don't let fill you up with hated and with lies
Don't let them do it just take my hand and rise
CHORUS
Tonight the universe has it center right here on the floor
We are just electrons spinning in orbit and nothing more
Tonight we watch with great amazement as particles collide
Tonight we all exist as one - our souls all unified

Mon cheri left yesterday
got on the plane done fly away
Didn't said au revoir her bags was packed
No donne moi le petit bec
So triste from the ebb and flow
de la universal woe
Je suis désolé if your'e shocked
but I have been around the block
I got me just one lament
I lost the angel heaven sent
Don't say I didn't tell you so
beware the universal woe
Mon Cheri I Miss her so
That's the Universal Woe
heart got broke I'm feeling low
That's the Universal Woe
Why Lord did she have to go
That's the Universal Woe
She's found herself a brand new beau
Sorry Cap thats ebb and flow
Pourquoi ne pas just run away
Je dois vivre dans le marais?
Je suis naufrage je suis fini
'cause Je n'ai pas mon Cheri
I can't stop this ebb and flow
de la universal woe

Common Heartbreak
Words and Music by HB Radke
I don’t know why, but sometime I cry
for no good reason, that i can determine.
I wake up at night, cursing the light,
wondering how I got to this house I live in.
The doctors all say I’m depressed
and prob’bly thats a real good guess
they say that they’ll cure me with some pills that I can take.
But theres no medication – regardless of station
there’s no cure for the Common Heartbreak
This awful condition, it feels like perdition of
my own creation in which i must dwell.
So i ask God to save me, with the voice that he gave me.
But I spend each night all alone, that’s just as well.
So i put on my Sunday best, try to fit in with the rest.
But this season’s styles are much more thanI can take
]The latest fashion is new lover’s passion,
and I’m wearing the Common Heartbreak
Oh time keeps on passin’, and I keep on asking.
Oh lord! When will I feel better?
Nothin’ feels right, and try as I might,
theres no way, theres no way I can forget her.
I feared the love that she gave me, would surely enslave me.
but emancipation is what she gave.
Time can’t be reversed, so forever I’m cursed
To long for this love til I’m dead and in my grave.
So I say my prayers and amens, but lightning it won’t strike again.
Besides, I hear she’s getting married and moving off to the Cape.
These is no distance, that will weaken the persistence
nor cure the Common Heartbreak.

Does This Smell Like Chloroform
Word and Music By HB Radke
I've always had a way with words
Ever since the day that I was born
Ladies always fall for me
don't mean to blow my own horn
When i walk in to a club
The fellas show their scorn
I ask the hottest gal I see
Does this smell like chloroform
Does this smell like chloroform
they start feeling light in the head
the room starts a spinning
then I'm a grinnin'
the greatest words ever said
Now heres a little secret just between you and me
When you hear a female say "she don't feel no chemistry"
You don't have to face rejection, my friend I've found the key
If you what to shag just soak that rag and repeat after me
'Cause women want a fairly tale
Yes sir! I'm convinced
Ill tell you son its dog gone fun
to be their charming prince
Just don't leave no fingerprints
So here end of my lesson if you take to heart
You too can be a legend with the ladies 'round these parts
Try it in the produce asile on some saucy tart
You can roll her back to your mini van in her grocery cart

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
Words and Music by HB Radke
It was five forty-five in the mornin’
my alarm clock rang without warnin’
I hit the snooze button so,
i could get a little more sleep.
Ten minutes later I’m thinking much clearer,
I step out of bed, head to the mirror.
But I don’t recognize the face thats staring back at me.
Happy Birthday to me well golly gee,
I don’t feel a day over twenty three.
I never thought when I hit forty
this is how life would be.
Two wives come and gone and my baby girl,
she is the center of my whole world .
Gee whiz, golly gee!
Happy Birthday to me.
So I head off to work, just my luck.
Traffic’s jammed a jackknifed truck.
So I phone my boss, tell him I’m a gonna be late
He says “head on back home things have been slow,
the man upstairs says to let you go”
So I’m without a job and stuck here on the interstate.
Happy Birthday to me, golly gee.
I don’t feel a day over twenty three.
I never thought when I hit forty
this is how life would be.
Two wives come and gone and my baby girl,
she is the center of my whole world .
Gee whiz, golly gee!
Happy Birthday to me.
I don’t even need me a cake
I just want to catch me a break
It seems that I’ve been cursed
by the devil’s hand.
Maybe its just how its supposed to be
My birthdays bringing misery
Do I deserve this?
Lord help me understand
So head on back home feeling beaten
A little shaky ’cause I ain’t eaten
Trying to forget the awful morning I just had
I see something tacked to my door
Im thinking I cant take anymore
But its a crayon written note saying
that “I love you dad.”
Happy Birthday to me well golly gee,
I don’t feel a day over twenty three.
I never thought when I hit forty
this is how life would be.
Two wives come and gone and my baby girl,
she is the center of my whole world .
Gee whiz, golly gee!
Happy Birthday to me.

I Got Troubles
03:09
|

If I had ninety-nine problems that would be just fine
I got me just one and it's the female kind
I've been cursed with this Angel's voice
and being born so handsome was not my choice
I've got troubles, Lord it's true
I've got troubles, that's why I'm blue
It's rough that I'm so witty, modest, and refined
Magnanimous and charming is such a grind
I can hardly go out anywhere
Women start to riot, they don't want to share
I've got troubles, oh Lord it's true
I've got troubles, I'm telling you!
I am such a lovely, selfless, giving, so and so
When it comes to pretty women I just can't say "no"
In this Sea of Ladies I'm gonna drown
So, please let there be enough of me to go around
Help me, Sweet Jesus, I hope and pray
I'll be delivered from here someday
But until then I'll do what I can
Oh, woe is me--The Perfect Man
I've got troubles, oh Lord it's true
I've got troubles, what will I do?
I've got troubles, oh Lord it's true
I've got troubles, I'm telling you!

Bug bug. Bug Bug
I acted so shy and thats a fact
Bug bug. Bug Bug
She looked me up the very next day
With tickets to an athletic play
Since her Ive never been kissed that way
Bug bug. Bug Bug
I knew she was different right at the start
Bug bug. Bug Bug
She got me over my broken heart
Bug bug. Bug Bug
Valentines day my fate was sealed
Tenderness in me at last was revealed
My heart had its black depression repealed
Bug bug. Bug Bug
deeply in love, life was going on great
Bug bug. Bug Bug
We flew to see an opera in the Lone Star State
Bug bug. Bug Bug
We were watching a scene penned by kooky Kurt Weil
When a lyric we heard made us both smile
IT became our pet names though I know Infantile
Bug bug. Bug Bug
Time went on she went off to school
Bug bug. Bug Bug
I let her go because I was a fool
Bug bug. Bug Bug
She met the man who made her his wife
At first that news cut me life a knife
But now I wish them a long happy life

I Get So High

I get so high Feel like I can fly
I love to be ruled by gravity
I get so high i can touch the sky
Yeah It makes me - feel like I am free
I've been so many days working like a slave
That's a sure way to an early grave
I trade my tailored suit made in Savile Row
For a gore-tex coat then its off i go
top of the earth i am looking down
crystal clear not a single sound
I mob down the hill - a super sonic archetype
i leave others standing still - time to hit the half pipe
its three degrees below - but the air is dry
i feel the need for snow - its time to get real high
Just as I really start to shred
an awful sound starts to fill my head
I find myself in my bedroom shocked
my holiday cut short by my alarm clock

It's A Great Day!
03:05
|

it was back in oh one when it all began
they cold cocked our face and then they cold ran
We started hunting both far and wide
those cowards thought the hills was a place they could hide
They all played house in some dark ol caves
well that ain't how civilized men behave
One by one we send them back to hell
every time we do Freedom rings her bell
So let me hear you cheer just as loud as you can
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
I was heading home early on Sunday eve
When I heard some news that I couldn't believe
POTUS was talking 'bout a firefight
that took out OBL in the dead of night
We kept our promise to hunt him down
Now we're gonna plant that jerk right in the ground
and anyone who showed him loyalty
are gonna end up like a big ol' hunk of swiss cheese
So let me hear you cheer just as loud as you can
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
I must confess that when abroad my country has caused me a little grief
but I never claimed to be something else or decorate my stuff with some maple leafs
so to the special operator that put a round in his dome
I want to buy your team some beers the minute you get home
its like the Superbowl and Nascar title rolled into one
we know you'll keep those bastards scared on the run
To the boys and girls serving far from home
We're all behind you you are not alone
Our prayers are with you what more can I say
than God bless the armed forces of the USA
So let me hear you cheer just as loud as you can
Its a great day to be an American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American
Its a great day to be American

MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you in the morning
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you every night
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you when I'm anxious
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL Or if I feel alright
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL You help me with my diet
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL And my acid reflux too
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL You cure both virus and infection
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I'm so happy I have you.
I was sad and lonely I was a walking tragedy
It felt like it was always raining when there were blue skies over me
Fatalistic was my outlook. Every day this feeling grew
I made a plan to see my doctor, hoping he would have a clue
I hopped up on the table then I heard knocking on the door
Then in walked a strange physician One I'd never seen before
He said Doc Brown was in Milwaukee and he was just filling in
To said to tell him of my troubles He took a seat and said "begin"
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you in the morning
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you every night
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you when I'm anxious
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL Or if I feel alright
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL You give me X-ray vision
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL And telepathy as well
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I'm so glad we found each other
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I think you are really swell
he said he had the answer that would cure my many ills
He produced a purple bottle that was filled with tiny pills
It was a brand new medication It got approval just last fall
There was handwriting on the label it said extra-super-cureitall
So later on that evening, I was sitting on my bed
when the most amazing colors started flying 'round my head
I felt like I was flying or floating in the sea
I felt so fricking awesome
I popped another three.
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you in the morning
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you every night
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you when I'm feeling passive
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you when I want to fight
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL you make optimistic
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL You rid my life of dread
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL You chase away the voices
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL That live inside my head
one night while watching telly I saw that doctors face
when I heard the whole story, I felt the blood drain from my face
He escaped from the Asylum with half their pharmacy
He made believe he was a doctor handing out those drugs for free
So when he was captured the Judge, he threw away the key
I could not go and ask him what he really gave to me
I took my last pill to be tested, because I really had to know
The main ingredient was sugar - Yep, I was cured by placebos
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you in the morning
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you every night
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I take you when I'm anxious
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL Or if I feel alright
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL You you keep my prostate healthy
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL and my liver function too
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL Yo u cleared up my complexion

MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL You're my object of affection
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I think that I love you
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL You give me my erection
MY HAPPY LITTLE PILL I think that I love you

Bring It On Back
02:59
|
|||
Spent my day packing up what used be
The life with shared but now its only me
Your favorite dress, some faded photographs
The funny things you'ld do to make me laugh
I don't know how I'm gonna get along
I don't know if I can be that strong x
I'd be lying - If I said I was through with cryin'
But cryin' won't bring you back to me
I still love you - baby can't you see?
Just come on back to me.
Every morning as I come down the stairs
I hope and pray that I will find you there
And every morning the heart break starts again
Lord! how long before it starts to mend?
How could you go? After all that we'd been through
Please! let me know, what am I to do?
I'd be lying - If I said I was through with cryin'
But cryin' won't bring you back to me
I still want you. Baby can't you see?
Just come on back to me.
BRIDGE
when I think about that rainy night
Such a foolish quarrel you were right
Then the late night knock upon my door
I was then regretfully informed - you ain't coming back no more
I'd be lying - If I said I was through with cryin'
But cryin' won't bring you back to me
I still need you. Baby can't you see?
Just come on back to me.

Sweaty Things
03:42
|
|||
Baby I'm so sorry about last night
I swear that it was just a one time thing
And the way you found out just ain't right
I was wrong but you'd been gone so long
on your trip to Albuquerque
Understand that a man
needs to get what he can when he can get it
CHORUS
Don't sweat the petty things
Yeah pet the sweaty things
Tonights the night that was made for loving
Gonna get all up in yo' easy bake oven
Don't sweat the petty things
Yeah pet the sweaty things
Don't fight, tonight, and Ill make it all right with my loving
My defense makes no sense but I need to present my simple explanation
I went out for a drink 'cause I needed to think about my swollen love frustration.
time to go when she walked thru the door and hit me with those gyrations
I should have up and ran but im only a man so I gave in to that ass temptation
CHORUS
my eyes got wide with surprise when i realized you were home two days early
My jaw hit the floor as you walked through the door with your
very best friend Shirley.
The room smelled like sex and licorice with a hint of gin and snapple
you looked at me and screamed who the hell is she, then you saw her adam's apple
CHORUS

Summer In Seattle
03:17
|
|||
after nine straight months of pouring rain
i swear I've got water on the brain
but no good reason to complain
now that its summer in seattle
The words of that old song are true
the skies here are the bluest blue
and theres always so much stuff to do
when its summer in seattle
it get hotter overnight
ill never tire of the sight
of mount rainier all capped in white
on clear and perfect cloudless day
Its time to soak up our share of sun
then go out have a little fun
before you know it it will be done
summer in seattle
all the cuties come out on a sunny day
shopping downtown or at westlake
why do they all have to run away
the second it starts to rain
sun is out the skies are blue
It even better here with you
a perfect day and dream come true
on our summer in seattle
sunlight cutting through the haze
no more fifty shades of gray
vivid colors all ablaze
summer in seattle
jump a ferry boat or monorail
bicycle even parasail
hitch a ride on a killer whale
for a summer in seattle

NEW LYRIC 7/22 old lyric below:
you stalk me in the hall to serve up my humiliation
you slam me into a wall to work out all your frustration
you try and rape my mind won't you ever learn
you're running out of time and now you're gonna burn
i got myself a new gun
now i'm coming for you
you can try and run
but nothing you can do
will save you from my gun
my one trustworthy friend
gonna have me some fun
i aint gonna pretend
I'm gonna leave you scarred
every waking second of every waking minute
of every waking hour of every waking day
you made me look like I was stupid and retarded
you turned them all against me and now you're gonna pay
after you destroyed me you claimed that you were sorry
i said that i forgave you but, sorry man, i lied
i've spent too many nights alone staring at my ceiling
the plans i was concealing they will not be denied
my gun
and i are coming for you
you can try and run
but nothing you can do
will save you from my gun
my one trustworthy friend
gonna have me some fun
i aint gonna pretend
I'm gonna leave you scarred
I hate the way you speak with that stupid affectation
you prey on the weak without hesitation
I hate the way you smile I hate your juvenile thoughts
I hate the trendy new clothes that your rich parents bought
I hate your lack of compassion lack of empathy
now when you close your eyes the only thing you will see
is me and my new gun
we're both coming for you
you can try and run
but nothing you can do
will save you from my gun
my one trustworthy friend
gonna have me some fun
i aint gonna pretend
I'm gonna leave you scarred
***************************************
OLD LYRIC
you stop me in the hall
to serve up my humiliation
it makes you feel ten feet tall
to work out all your frustration
You try and rape my mind
won't you ever learn
you're running out of time
now you're gonna burn
i got myself a gun
now i'm coming for you
you can try and run
but nothing you can do
will save you from my gun
my new trustworthy friend
gonna have me some fun
I aint gonna pretend
I'm gonna leave you scarred
every waking second
of every waking minute
of every waking hour

you turned them all against me and now you're gonna pay
after you destroyed me you said that you were sorry
I said I forgave you but sorry man i lied
all the nights I spent alone just staring at my ceiling
the plans i was concealing I will not be denied
I hate the way you speak
with that stupid affectation
you prey on the weak
without hesitation
I hate the way you smile
I hate your juvenile thoughts
I hate the trendy clothes
that your rich parents bought
I hate your lack of compassion
lack of empathy
will you beg for forgiveness?
when you kneel before me

Detroit Steel
04:23
|
|||
when i was just a little boy
we had cars that really made some noise
feel them run, in your chest
motor heads on their eternal quest
whose ride was the fastest
racing down the quarter mile
my brother's was the baddest
every win would make me smile
the tire smoke made me choke
every time they'd spin those big mag wheels
i love detroit steel
(mustang, duster, and roadrunner
bel air, tempest , and the rambler
comet, fury, and marauder
fairlaine, biscayne, and impala)
aint no self respecting man
who'd drive a compact from japan
hybrid's good for mother nature
computer brains in their nomenclature
give me a six four "cammer"
with seven hundred horses running wild
when you put down the hammer
its a seven second quarter mile
if you're a man you'll say "hot damn!"
every time you sit behind the wheel
I love detroit steel
(mustang, duster, and roadrunner
bel air, tempest , and the rambler
comet, fury, and marauder
fairlaine, biscayne, and impala)
the final straw the camel's back
can't take no more and thats a fact
tomorrow morning break of dawn
get in my car and then i'm gone
my duster's got a blower
and some nitrous just in case
when i gun the engine
it shakes the windows in the place
those overseas designs
they all look real pretty and run fine
but they lack the feel
of some detroit steel
(mustang, duster, and roadrunner
bel air, tempest , and the rambler
comet, fury, and marauder
fairlaine, biscayne, and impala)

He's dead inside - aint got no will
his sense of self comes from a pill
his potential is weak at best
according to that standardized test
He's a problem child -
Daddy works way too much
Mom's in the wine
she's such a lush
he craves affection but he gets a car
its one a.m. do you know where your kids are?
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
But the problem is you!
He goes to school but sleepwalks the entire day
cracks morbid jokes much to his friends dismay
day after day he takes all their crap
sooner or later he's gonna snap
He's a problem child -
Daddy works way too much
Mom's in the gin
she's such a lush
he craves affection but he gets a car
its one a.m. do you know where your kids are?
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
But the problem is you!
You wonder why they're getting high
and acting the fool
you blame tv, lsd and even the school
spoken: maybe you should blame yourselves. quit knocking out carbon copies for your ego's sake unless you have the time and resources to raise a child. Its common sense.
he's the poster child for the varsity
another victim of these atrocities
the expectation is always be first
daily injections until his brain bursts
He's a problem child -
Daddy works way too much
Mom's popping pills
she's a major lush
he craves affection but he gets a car
its one a.m. do you know where your kids are?
Woah! problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
But the problem is you!

5 Minute Song

i wrote this here song in about five minutes
there aren't a whole lot lyrics in it.
i thought "short and sweet" is how i'd begin it
got no clue on how it ends
a premise this fresh aint from a beginner
sloth is one of seven but i aint not sinner
so don't go calling me a lazy phoner-iner
lord tell me how it ends
la la la la la la la la la
i hope you don't catch on
that la la la la la la la la's
is what a songwriter sings
to fill up the space
when they cant think
of any other lyrics
to put in their new song
i confess i should have planned this out much better
and not let my fancy run amok unfettered
i should have spent the time knitting mom a sweater
i gotta know how this song ends
la la la la la la la la la
i hope you don't catch on
That la la la la la la la la's
is what a songwriter sings
to fill up the space
when they cant think
of any other lyrics
to put in their new song
i confess i should have planned this out much better
and not let my fancy run amok unfettered
i should have spent the time knitting mom a sweater
but this is how it ends

You can keep October and its masquerade
Take November and the Macy's Parade yeah
They are both fine holidays in many ways
But they can't compare to
Late in December when there's snow on the ground
Everybody all gathers in the center of town
So happy you're here with me
No place that 'd rather be
When they light up the tree
(You Know that's its Christmas time)
Nights are chilly and clear
And I'm holding you near
my favorite time of the year
(You Know that's its Christmas time)
Just a few days till Christmas Eve
When Santa Claus comes if you believe yeah
Presents will soon be 'neath the tree for you and me
But all I want is
For you to be certain that I love you so
And maybe find you flirting underneath the mistletoe
CHORUS
So go ahead and keep July and June.
September and August and the harvest moon yeah
Now they're all fine times of the year, let me make this clear
Its just that I can't wait 'til
Late in December when there's snow on the ground
Everyone gathers in the center of town
CHORUS REPEAT TIL FADE

No Christmas
02:29
|
|||
signs of christmas all around
since you've gone i have found
jingle bells make an awful sound
there's no christmas without you
I've trimmed the tree put up the lights
but I keep them all dark at night
being cheerful just don't seem right
its not christmas without you
seasons greetings are self-defeating
my pride i'm eating it whole
love is fleeting since our first meeting
you've burned right in to my soul
curling up next the fire's roar
i'm dead inside right to the core
i know i won't get what i'm asking for
there's no christmas without you

Christmas Kisses
02:52
|
|||
Once again its time of year
When we sing of Christmas cheer
Chilly nights wishing you were here
That's what this is.
I told Santa so long ago
That I still really love you so
The only thing I asked for so you know
Is some Christmas Kisses.
I know its just a foolish dream
Thinking you'd come back to me
Snuggled up all warm and cozy
Underneath the Christmas tree
As sure as Santa's reindeer fly
You can't blame me if I try
Wishing on the winter sky
For some Christmas kisses.

Particular Time Of Year
02:09
|
|||
There's a chill in the air but I don't mind
All the folks on the street all seem so kind
Forget about your daily grind
This particular time of year
There are twinkling lights on every street
A smiling face for folks you meet
Some mistletoe and your night's complete
This particular time of year
I know it sounds outrageous
But you can sense it in the air
This kind of joy's contagious
Its a happy sort of feeling everywhere
So bundle up and head outdoors
Window shopping at all the stores
Here's good tidings to you and yours
This particular time of year

Christmas Cocktail
02:18
|
|||
Another cold and cozy christmas eve
we've trimmed the tree
the kids are upstairs snoozin'
a perfect time for you and me
to get snuggly and do a little boozin'
The year's flown by can you believe
that on our roof reindeer will be tapping
Then santa down our chimney
so we three can do some real night-cappin'
Take a shaker full of ice,
crushed candy canes are awfully nice
pour in some spirits and shake thrice,
and garnish with a little christmas cheer
lets lift your glass to santa's heath,
then nostrovia to all his elves
the third time raise one to yourself,
enjoy your merry christmas cocktail

Provider In Seven-G
03:28
|
|||
The girl who lives in seven-G
Just down the hall from me
Face of an angel a body for sin
When she smiles it my head spin
Oh the girl in seven-G
Just two doors down from me
Her French perfume her silky skin
A guy like me could never win
She tells her family that she's still in school
Studying biology that's sort of true
Every morning she's out by the pool
In a bikini that's minuscule
She's a provider of all your fantasies
She'll turn your desire into reality
We started hanging out doing our laundry
Nothing major just a few yucks
She knew I needed to earn me some money
So she offered me a job that paid a few bucks
Just to drive her
So she could play Pinochle
With one of many uncles
She'd always win such awesome luck
Then she'd pay me fifty bucks, yeah
Last night you could have knocked me down with a feather
She said had a creepy uncle who loved his leather
As the house drew near I started feeling real bad
I said that ain't your uncle.. Man! that is my dad
she's a provider of all your fantasies
She turn your desire into currency
she's a provider of all your fantasies
She turn your desire into insanity

you think i'm fine, well join the club
don't get too sprung 'cuz I aint looking for no love.
if you step to me you better understand
i got the super coo-chi that will wreck a man
thats how I do, thats how i do
you like my body, you want inside
ill make your girl watch while i take for a ride
when she leaves----- you'll wonder who to blame
its your own damn fault for screaming out my name.
you better step off if its love you're seeking
aint nothing going on but some hardcore freaking
don't matter if you black or white or puerto rican
she even got with my church's deacon
they're aint a damn thing that you can do.
she'll get with every brother in your whole damn crew
she'll beat your heart up until its black and blue
don't act surprised 'cuz this is how she do.
Chorus
i lock it down and i keep it tight
ill have you wishing that you were mr right
Ill be the best freak your punk ass ever had

Bitch In Heat
03:30
|

You better run and tell your mama
and you better tell your daddy too
tell all your sisters and your brothers
tonight i want your loving' and
Im a coming for you
nothings gonna stop me
from knocking down your front door
we'll be howling at the moonlight
im a make you mine and baby thats for sure
I know you want my baby
from your head down to your feet
you'll be begging for my love gravy
'cuz I know that
you're a bitch in heat
you are a bitch in heat
some say you're just a child
and too young for me
aint no hiding that you're wild
you can't fake olfactory baby
you aint daddy's little angel
like you were before
by the time this night is over
you'll be grunting you'll be growling
you'll be begging for more
I know you want my baby
from your head down to your feet
you'll be begging for my love gravy
you can't hide it
you're a bitch in heat
you are a bitch in heat
werewolves and vampires
you all better step aside
everybody stop and bear witness
as I come inside
Now your having my babies
they're all as cute as they can be
three look like perfect poodles
the rest of those puppies take after me
you try and fight old mother nature
chances are you're gonna be beat
they can try and spray us with their hoses
but you you can't cool down a
bitch in heat

You Say
02:18
|
|||
You ask me why i love you
you ask me why I care
its not your sexy body
or your silky shiny hair
Its the way that you gaze up at me
when Im in my easy chair
and you say
"Argmmm aghhhh ammm aghhh"
Of all the girls I've dated, I confess theres been a few
none get me elated or inflated like you do
each time you part those luscious lips
you prove your love so true when you say
"Argmmm aghhhh ammm aghhh"
Sometimes my pain is too much to swallow
sometimes the sorrow is just too much to bear
those times when Im depressed and start to wallow
you cheer me up and show how much you care
Darling please believe me when i say i love you true
if you ever leave me I don't know what i would do
i got you this cushioned pillow
don't want your knees all black and blue when you say
"Argmmm aghhhh ammm aghhh"

Haikus

I write songs for her
But she doesn't notice me
As hard as I try
I write her poems
Sonnets and soliloquies
She makes my heart fly
CHORUS
I'll write her Haikus
In the Japanese Style
then will she be mine
If she likes Haikus
Will she then be beguiled
That would be divine
She lives down the street
She passes me every day
looking straight ahead.
Speechless from her glance
will she give her love to me
or pass by instead
CHORUS
one two three four five
Syllables make the first part
Then come seven more
She's smiling at me
I can't believe my fortune
Happiness is here
I ask what's your name?
Mei Lin Wong is her reply
She's not Japanese
CHORUS
