Be A Man

Because I love you terribly it is you I will sustain
But I’m tired of trying to work it out, this crippled runners’ race
So I will let you push me around.
As if I’m not one, you say: “Come on, be a man.”
“Be a man?” That’s some heat.

Best Leave Town

I know your kind and I’ve seen it done
A million lies behind that smile
Let me buy you a drink my friend. What’s that over there?
Revenge is a drink that is best served…..you
You won’t taste the acid but you’ll feel it though
You’ll spend the night looking deep inside with no place to hide
Have a drink pal, drink it all down.
You best leave town before the sun goes down.

Big End Down

Tell me dearest sweetest friend when last you found means to an end
You’re superhuman don’t you know. So get out there and explode.
Tell me brother, love of my life: When will you be all grown up?
You sit and wait for it to happen. If you show up, well that’s enough.
I can see it big end down and right in front of me
What you see before you now has not got the sense to sleep
Darling lover valentine, just how long will you be mine?
It makes my heart ache all the time; if it were wood it would be pine
But this heart is made of flesh and blood and therefore very weak
What you see before you now could die tonight in his sleep

Djinni

Little Djinni gonna wish you right away wishing you were her one
She’ll enchant you but she won’t take any blame (it’s the way she was born)
Little Djinni with the turban on her head coming out of the shower
You imp, sprite, fairy. Go and fly away now.
Little Djinni got the monkey’s paw. You get nothing for free.

If it’s true that pretty girls make graves then I’m a cemetary.
I remember when I rubbed that bottle to see the Djinni come out.
Who wouldn’t want to have three wishes and that body to pound?

Emmeline

This town is a sparkling jewel. A paradise set by the sea.
I would very much like you to see it with me.
You know I’m a little bit older, but I’m still young enough to have fun.
I promise that I am a good man. Just ask anyone.
My heart sings for beautiful things. It’s a cry for attention some say.
The truth, I have always been this way.
I thought that you were much older but you’re just old enough for the law
I will never forget the first time that I saw Emmeline
I don’t want you to think I’m obsessing (but saying that makes me seem so)
I am just trying to say that, come what may, you have touched me deep and true
I know that tonight while I’m dreaming just before I have fallen asleep
I’ll be counting the kisses I have for you instead of sheep
Kisses on your cheek
I want to know you, do you want to know me too?

I Believe I Love

Solitudinal my head
It’s where I go when you walk past
And the land of the free is at home in your breast
Pardon me but my head couldn’t help but twist upon my neck
When I saw you and your friend all skirt and hair in the wind
If seeing is believing then I do believe I love you
If seeing is believing then I do believe in love

I’m Asking

Too obscene the face of fear
It’s more than I can take to see your fate.
Your soul it radiates like bones to chemo take.
Deceive to take
What’s wrong my dear? I’m asking.

I’m Not Sorry

I’m not sorry that you left, but I’m sorry I’m alone
That won’t last too long. How long can this go on?

I’m sorry I was cold if you’re sorry you were mean
Good luck to your new man, he’ll need all of it indeed

Kettle

I’ve been set upon
Under duress I’m thinking on it
I need to right away
Innocence to be determined should something go to waste
Realize, redetermined

Life Away

My dad is a drinking man and my mom has the upper hand
Yeah dad let’s celebrate. We’ll both get pissed and stay up late
My mom is a Catholic and I love her, but man they make me sick
Yeah mom all the facts are in: if you’ve got to go, go with a grin
A tear in your beer for fathers and sons misunderstood by everyone
To the dreams that come back in old age
To the woman he gives his life away
Here’s mud in your eye for mothers and girls that bring love and
grace to this rotten world
And to the dreams the dreams that come back in old age
And to the women who give their life away

Martian Blues

It’s lonely here in space while I wait
It’s true, I’m going home soon
I woke up in this place to a race that’s not my race
I’m so confused
There’s a red house in space where her golden eyes await
amidst the ruins
Take me from your leader
I want to go back home
I’ve got the Martian blues

Melter

You’re the greenest thing that I know
It’s the sweetest thing I know
It’s the greediest thing I know of

I’m the neediest thing I know of
We’re wishing a positionary mission
To melt our ice

Mislead

Don’t try a lot of “No need to be scared”
When you try to do something and you get nowhere
To this hammer all’s a nail
Mislead

My Miss Love

I can keep my composure usually
I can’t believe what you have done to me
I eat up all your glorious mystery
Tell me the truth because my imagination will kill me
A heart that works is a heart that hurts
You look just like an angel to me pretty baby.
Could it be I’m obsessed with love? Could be.
Does that make me foolish? Does it matter?
You will always be with me.
It will sadden me but I will understand if I never get to hold your
hand in mine that’s the way of life since the dawn of man and will be
until the end of time you are you will always be
My miss love

Never Going To Be OK

I won’t try to be shy or cloying
When my love cries it’s so annoying
He found reasons to keep his distance
What of rejection and resistance?
Buy that girl a beautiful flower
Don’t waste your time thinking about it
It’s never going to be OK

Passenger Queen

We work hard and we’re owed
Once we’ve been on the road for an hour we’ll be free
If I’m king of the road you’re my passenger queen
Run away with me before they see how you feel to me

“But we won’t be alone” was her plea
Any time of the month, it don’t matter to me
Run away with me,
And the world? We’ll see it all

Runawayed

I feel better knowing no one can understand
Though it would be easier to punch holes in my wall
If disappearing for weeks means that
I don’t have to explain my mistakes
Then I guess I’ll see you around sometime
If I was brave enough to be a runaway
I’d still like to write to you every once in a while
And if I was hurting and showed up at your door
Could you forgive and forget and let an old friend in?
When I can look you in the face
When I can make it up to you
When I don’t feel so deadbeat
I’ll come home

Sit And Wonder

When I want to be alone disconnect the phone
My friends all laugh at me
I think they know I think they think that I’m not home
Now you sit you down, sit and wonder
Time where did it go and steal your thunder?
Dream and drug it all away
Lord knows God knows why it goes away one day
What is a problem and if I turn my back on it
Is the easy way out honest? It’s still a way out
You know I want the best for you and me
I have to be what my hands are telling me

The Aisle

What is it to be a young man these days?
I sure pity the poor young girls these days
What is it to be in love these days?
We don’t do anything like we used to anymore
We’ve got so much past, we’ve got no past at all
You’re going to walk right down that aisle

And the girl with the beautiful smile,
You’re going to walk right into her love
You’re going to see what you’re made of

Whistle

I get up every morning before the sun is up
It makes no difference to me. My soul’s an empty cup
I come home in the evening and things are on my mind
I try not to think about them
Bottle in my pocket and a cat on a string
To keep from trembling I will do anything
So I walk a little faster, singing in the cold moonlight
Will I die from heartache or will I die from fright?
It’s a whistle past the churchyard

Who Cares Least

Lost as lost could be. You were lost on me.
Good as good could be, it was lost on me.
Oh these rights of passage
This rite of passage came too late to save us
You were aces, Ace
No more making the same mistakes
Erase
