A Little Bit of Pain
06:15
|
|||
Well I don't wanna have a building named after me
I just want a good night of sleep
And if you open my kitchen drawers, you'll hear them squeak
But that does not bother me.
Ahh, well I walk in the rain I like a little bit of pain
Ahh, no shield from the wind as it penetrates my skin
Ahh.
When all the demons they finally release their hold
And all the bruises turn into gold
Its just a matter of opinion if the agony
Is celebrating or haunting me.
Ahh, well I walk in the rain I like a little bit of pain
Ahh, no shield from the wind as it penetrates my skin
Ahh.

My Angel, My Darling

Gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on keepin' on (x2)
Gotta keep on, God I sleep long, gotta keep on keepin' on
Gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on keepin' on.
I'm waiting for heaven, some day I'll make it mine
For now I'll roll over, and fake another smile.
There's bread in the oven, its cold and lonely too
There's bread in the oven, I've got my eyes on you.
You're my angel, yeah you're my darling (x4)
Policemen run over, I think they're wearing heels
My imagination, can almost be too real.
The shards in the red wine, you know they taste so good
The blood from the grape vine, I wonder if I should
You're my angel, yeah you're my darling (x6)

American Sky
02:32
|

Once in a while you can feel it, feel it
Happiness tries to conceal it, well it tries
And I'm fixing a hole in the middle of the great American Sky
My days are filled with mindless patterns
The only thing that matters is getting high
And I'm fixing a hole in the middle of the great American Sky
Writing the music year after year, writing the music that no one will hear
Writing the music thats playing in my head.
Go to the waters and see them shining
Listen to children, hear them whine and cry
And I'm fixing a hole in the middle of the great American Sky
I met a stranger I tied her shoestring
She asked me, what are you doing? I replied
Well, I'm fixing a hole in the middle of the great American Sky.
Writing the music year after year, writing the music that no one will hear
Writing the music thats playing in my head.

Morning Glow
03:04
|
|||
I'm slipping away, got a lot to say, don't let me weep
My bed is breaking and I can't go to sleep
So what could be worse? I'm alive in a hearse, I don't know.
My ears are bleeding and I can't go to the show.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
This place has lost its morning glow
Sun shines I'm still in a shadow (x4)
Here I am doing tricks just a watered down wind up toy
It must've been a lie when they said I could be a real boy.
The end is a place where the heroes all wind up dead
I'm not at the end, but I can see it from my bed.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
This place has lost its morning glow
Sun shines I'm still in a shadow (x6)

Sick as a Dog
03:50
|
|||
Oh my lord, oh my god please can you help me?
Well I have never wanted something so badly
Oh when you're feeling blue, when you are feeling down and out.
aaah
I stole the uppers, they're sitting on the shelf
Chasing the downers, still not feeling myself
I'm lying down now, gotta sleep away this fog
So could you help me? I'm sick as a dog.
Overthink all the symptoms, are you dying?
There's no way to predict it, no use in trying?
Oh when you're feeling blue, when you are feeling down and out.
aaah
I stole the uppers, they're sitting on the shelf
Chasing the downers, still not feeling myself
I'm lying down now, gotta sleep away this fog
So could you help me? I'm sick as a dog.
Ooo I hear a creaking door, ooo I hear a creaking door (x2)

Bluebird
03:22
|
|||
My little boy went out to play
Beyond the gardens of his normal day
And though the world is rather gray
Well he was not afraid to say
He said mama, don't worry
there's a bluebird waiting for you (x2)
Rewind your mind to find success
A task too simple, an easy mess
My mother claims I'm not insane
Well she has always been a little crass
He said mama, don't worry
there's a bluebird waiting for you (x2)
(solo)
He said mama, don't worry
there's a bluebird waiting for you (x2)

Extra Sharp
03:45
|

DIgging a ditch on my own
Every bucket of dirt, there's two buckets of stone
She likes to smile when she sings
So they bring her flowers, among other things
I said don't you know life's better on the radio?
She looked at me and she said, I guess so
Now I'm blowing bubbles and I'm smoking cigarettes
Anything I can to dry up this cold sweat, cold sweat, cold sweat.
I got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt.
I went to work and I fell asleep, yeah.
I swam down the river to the tune of an angel harp
It doesn't much matter, cause you are extra sharp.
Extra Sharp (x2)
Well I woke up one morning, I was hung under
Craving some rain, but even more thunder
I nearly forgot I knew how to cry
Why do we all keep our eyes so dry, so dry, so dry?
I got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt.
I went to work and I fell asleep, yeah.
I swam down the river to the tune of an angel harp
It doesn't much matter, cause you are extra sharp.
Extra Sharp (x2)

All the ways you could love her, but you can't seem to pick one
But I know that my baby's gonna stay by my side.
I've got so much love left, so much it keeps spilling
And believe me if I could, I would clean up my mess.
Everybody's going where the wind is blowing
Everybody's going where the wind is blowing
Everybody's going where the wind is blowing
and its driving me crazy yeah crazy yeah crazy yeah ha ha (x2)
If we had all the answers, and had no more questions
Then we'd still be at a very, very strange point in our lives
But that doesn't matter, we all need to feel good
And believe me if I could, I would feel good all the time.
Everybody's going where the wind is blowing
Everybody's going where the wind is blowing
Everybody's going where the wind is blowing
and its driving me crazy yeah crazy yeah crazy yeah ha ha (x2)

Things to Come
03:09
|
|||
I've been really thinking
About the things to come (x2)
I should be out drinking,
Having me some fun (x2)
But there's always one last thing left to do
Find yourself in the thick of it and leave it all behind.
But we always fall back on things to come
I've been really thinking
About the things to come (x2)
My eyes are blinking
Staring at the sun (x2)
But there's always one last thing left to do
Find yourself in the thick of it and leave it all behind (x3)
But we always fall back on things to come

A steely Monday morn
Click Clack! He was born
No sixpence to warm his metal heart
He worked the dead man's shift
Gaze held, his soul lifts
Cogs turn one thought round, departure from the cold.
(Instrumental)
In the meadow
In the meadow
In the meadow, in the fields of green
He saw a girl, he saw his queen
In the meadow, in the fields of green
He lay down his head and began to dream (x2)

Stina

Heenie Marina, I know my Stina
She's on the mountain, you might have seen her
Hard like a cornice, she's always leaning to me
Heenie Marina
Oh oh oh oh, its Stina
And I love her
And I miss her
And I love her
Heenie Marina, I know my Stina
She floats around in her youthful demeanor
Cool like a raindrop, my own Athena
Heenie Marina
Oh oh oh oh, its Stina
And I love her
And I miss her
And I love her

I Had a Very Nice Time
03:07

Four hundred soldiers in the middle of the desert
and all that I can do for you is ask for another heart.
Nothing's really stopping me, I can feel the honeybee
Sending me into a dimension that I felt from the start
Thank you for having me in here I had a very nice time (x4)
John is in the waiting room, medication coming soon
I'm in the studio asking for another cigar
How can you turn your ear, with all these people here?
It's relatively easy to see when the world is changing.
Thank you for having me in here I had a very nice time (x4)
