	Easy.  No one because techno is done by a non-artistic machine and
    no-one "sings" anything.

	Anyone out there ever hear Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells?  I
    believe it was used as the soundtrack to the Exorcist.  My roommate had
    it last year and I borrowed it alot to listen to, and a little while
    ago I found Tubular Bells II, which is equally as cool.

	If I remember right, Oldfield did that album by himself and it took
    something like 2000 overlays, pretty tedious figuring it was all done
    analog...I also think it was the first album on the Virgin lable, or an
    offshoot...cuz nobody thought it'd sell. Course unless you care, this
    might belong filed under useless...jd

	Not useless at all.  I saw a 60 Minutes on which they interviewed
    the man who started Virgin Records.  He started by selling cheap
    records through a school publication that he was in charge of, then
    dropped out of college to open Virgin Records.  At the time, this
    record store was nothing big, but as time went on, it grew.  M.
    Oldfield was their first album, and from there this man has turned it
    into what it is today.  (He has GOBS of money, BTW)  HE's also very
    eccentric.  He has a few world records, for ballooning.  Transatlantic
    and transpacific flights in balloons and such like that.  HE even has
    his own airline, with eight jets now in service.

@SONG: RICKY

Hey Lucy, I'm home!
Oh, Ricky, you're so fine,
You're so fine you blow my mind.
Hey, Ricky!
Hey, Ricky!
Oh, Lucy, you're so fine,
You're so fine you blow my mind.
Hey, Lucy!
Hey, Lucy!
Oh, Ricky, you're so fine,
You play your bongos all the time.
Hey, Ricky!
Hey, Ricky!
Oh, Lucy, you're so fine,
How I love to hear you whine.
Hey, Lucy!

Hey, Ricky!
You always play your conga drums.
You think you got the right.
You wake up little Ricky
In the middle of the night.
Stop shakin' your maracas now,
And just turn out the light,
Ricky!

I'm sick of Fred and Ethel
Always comin' over here,
'Cause Fred eats all our pretzel sticks
And then he spills his beer.
Why don't you serve your casserole
And make them disappear,
Lucy?

Oh, Ricky,
What's a girl like me supposed to do?
You really drive me wild
When you sing your Ba-ba-lu.
Oh, Lucy,
You're so dizzy,
Don't you have a clue?
Well, here's to you,
Lucy!
I love you too, Lucy, too, Lucy.
Let's Ba-ba-lu, Lucy.

Hey, Ricky!
You're always playin' at the club,
You never let me go.
I'm beggin' and I'm pleadin',
But you always tell me no.
Oh please, honey, please.
Let me be in your show,
Ricky!
Waaa...

You always burn the roast,
And you drop the dishes too.
You iron my new shirt,
And you burn a hole right through.
You're such a crazy redhead,
I just don't know what to do,
Lucy!

Oh, Ricky,
What a pity, don't you understand
That every day's a rerun,
And the laughter's always canned.
Oh, Lucy,
I'm the Latin leader of the band.
So here's to you, Lucy,
Let's Ba-ba-lu, Lucy, do, Lucy...everybody rumba!


@SONG: GOTTA BOOGIE

Gotta boogie.
Gotta boogie.
Gotta boogie.
Gotta boogie.
I gotta boogie!
(Gotta boogie)
I gotta boogie!
(Gotta boogie)
I gotta boogie!
(Gotta boogie)
Gotta boogie on my finger,
And I can't shake it off!

Well, I went out to a party
Just the other night.
I was jammin' to the music,
I was feelin' all right.
I was burnin' up the floor,
Like a disco maniac,
When my woman said,
"Baby, why's your hand behind your back?"

Gotta boogie!
(Gotta boogie)
I said boogie!
(Gotta boogie)
I gotta boogie!
(Gotta boogie)
Gotta boogie on my finger,
And I can't shake it off!

I can't pick it off!
(Oh no)
I can't flick it off!
(Oh no)
I sure ain't gonna lick it off!
(Oh no)
So I guess I'm gonna have to learn to
Live with it.

I gotta boogie!
(Gotta boogie, uh huh, he gotta boogie)
Gotta boogie!
(Gotta boogie, uh huh, he gotta boogie)
Gotta boogie!
(Gotta boogie, uh huh, he gotta boogie)
Gotta boogie on my finger,
And I can't shake it off!

(Boogie!)
Gotta boogie.
(Boogie!)
Hey, you wanna boogie?
No, man, I don't want a boogie!
Wanna boogie?
Get that boogie outta my face!
Do any of you wanna boogie?
No!!!

Gotta boogie on my finger,
Gotta boogie on my finger,
Gotta boogie on my finger,
And I can't shake it off!


@SONG: I LOVE ROCKY ROAD

I hear those ice cream bells and I start to drool,
Keep a couple quarts in my locker at school
Yeah, but chocolate's gettin' old,
And vanilla just leaves me cold,
There's just one flavor good enough for me, yeah me,
Don't gimme no crummy taste spoon, I know what I need, baby

CHORUS:
I love rocky road,
So won't you go and buy a half gallon baby
I love rocky road,
So have another triple scoop with me, OW!

They tell me ice cream junkies are all the same,
All the soda jerkers know my name,
When their supply is gone,
Then I'll be movin' on
But I'll be back on Monday afternoon,
You'll see, another truckload's comin' in for me,
All for me, I'm singin'

CHORUS

When I'm all alone,
I just grab my self a cone,
And if I get fat and lose my teeth that's fine with me,
Just lock me in the freezer, throw away the key, singin',

CHORUS


@SONG: BUCKINGHAM BLUES

Gonna tell you a story
About Chuck and Diane.
Couple British kids from
The palace at Buckingham.
Chuckie wants to grow up
And be a polo star,
And ride his little horsies
All around the backyard. (oh yeah)
You know they really paid their dues.
I said hey, lawdy mama.
They got them Buckingham blues.

Now Chuckie goes hunting,
And leaves Diane alone.
So she fixes her hair,
And she talks on the Princess Phone.
Chuckie's still tryin' to figure out
What his job's supposed to be,
And Diane's the fashion leader
Of the aristocracy.
I said hey, Lady Di,
Tell me where'd you get them shoes?  Ah,
Well hey nonny nonny,
Looks like you got them Buckingham blues.

Aw, bein' heir to the throne, well
It must be awful hard.
Gotta pose for pictures
Out on the front yard.
And Lady Di, well,
She must have it pretty rough.
Gotta hang around the house all day,
Makin' babies and stuff.
Another game of croquet,
Then they're off on a Caribbean cruise.
Well hey bop-a-re-bop,
They really got them Buckingham blues.

(Ah, tell it to me, now tell it to--wow!
Ah got my mojo workin'!)

They don't serve no Twinkies
With their afternoon tea.
Never had a dinner
Made by Chef Boy-ar-Dee.
Bein' in the spotlight
Is a hard life to choose.
Diane drops half a pound,
It's on the six o'clock news.  Ah yeah,
Those kids have really paid their dues.
Aw, what a royal pain it is,
When you got them Buckingham blues.


@SONG: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!

Well it's time to celebrate your birthday,
It happens every year.
We'll eat a lot of broccoli, and drink a lot of beer.
You should be good and happy that there's somethin' you can eat.
A million people every day are starvin' in the street.
Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor.
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four.
There's garbage in the water,
There's poison in the sky.
I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die!

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!

Well, what's the matter, little friend, you think this party is the pits?
Enjoy it while you can.
We'll soon be blown to bits!
The monkeys in the Pentagon are gonna cook our goose.
Their finger's on the button, all they need is an excuse.
It doesn't take a military genius to see
We'll all be Crispy Critters after World War III.
There's nowhere you can run to,
Nowhere you can hide.
When they drop the big one,
We all get fried.

Come on, boys and girls, sing along, okay?

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!

Well, there's a punk in the alley, and he's lookin' for a fight.
There's an Arab on the corner buyin' everything in sight.
There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed.
Seems that everywhere you look today, there's misery and greed.
I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun,
But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun.
So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take,
Just blow out the candles,
And have a piece of cake.

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!

(wow!)

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!

And a pinch to grow an inch!


@SONG: STOP DRAGGIN' MY CAR AROUND

Had to park my car for just five minutes.
I had to go inside to use the phone.
When I came back again, my car was gone.  Well,
I didn't know it was a loading zone.
What a bummer, I as so brought down.
I had to chase that tow truck a over town, yellin'

Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my car around.

Took my baby to the local disco.
I was jumpin' like a maniac.
But the owner came and pulled me off the floor.  Then
He took me to his little office in the back.
He said, "I really like your snaggletooth necklace.
Your pants are groovy, and your hair's okay.
But, man, that car of yours is so uncool.
Like wow, I'm sorry, but we towed it away!"

Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my car around!

Now I'm at home.  I'm watchin' "Gilligan's Island."
Guess it's time to trade my old car in.
For twenty dollars and my '64 Plymouth,
Maybe I could get a second-hand Schwinn.
Look out the window, there's a
Tow truck in the driveway.
I grabbed the driver and I asked him why.
He said, "I'm sorry, kid, you're late with the payments.
It's time to kiss your little car goodbye."

Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my car around!
Stop draggin' my car around!

Listen, the check's in the mail.  No, really!
Stop draggin' my car around!
Oh man, I just had the hub caps painted!
Stop draggin' my car around!
Hey!  Hey, I left a sandwich in the back seat!


@SONG: MY BOLOGNA

Oooh, my little hungry one,
Hungry one.
Open up a package of my bologna.
Oooh, I think the toast is done,
The toast is done.
Top it with a little of my bologna.

CHORUS:
Never gonna stop,
Eat it up.
Such a tasty snack,
I always eat too much,
And throw up.
But I'll soon be back
For my my my yi yi wooo!
M-M-M-My bologna.

Spreadin' on the mustard now,
A-show me how.
Spread it on a little of this bologna.
Hopin' that we don't run out,
Don't run out.
If we do, I'm sure that I'll miss bologna.

CHORUS



Goin' to the market now,
Market now.
I'm the city's biggest bologna buyer.
Walkin' down the shopping aisles,
Shopping aisles.
Fillin' up my basket with Oscar Mayer.

CHORUS


@SONG: THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL

Well, hey, how ya doin'?  Have a seat.  Have a drink.
Boy, it's good to see ya.  What can I say?
Wo, sorry, gotta run.  We'll get together again.
Say, what was your name, anyway?
Well, we're workin' on the problem.
We'll get back to ya soon. (yeah)
But don't try to call me.
I'll be in a meeting every afternoon.
For a year.  Maybe longer.  Keep in touch.
Thanks for droppin' by, and have a nice day.

CHORUS:
The check's in the mail. (hey!)
You're beautiful.
Don't ever change.
You know what I mean.
My girl will call your girl.
We'll talk.  We'll do lunch.
Or leave a message on my machine.  So baby,
Won't you sign
On the dotted line.
I'm gonna make your dreams come true.
The check's in the mail.
Would I lie to you?

Well, hey.  Wait a minute.
Whattsa matter?  Hold on.
You want me to fork over the loot?
You say you hate my guts?
You wanna take me to court?
And you got yourself a lawyer with a three-piece suit?
Well, I'm proud to say you're not
The only critic of mine. (yeah)
So if you wanna sue me,
I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait in line.
Take a number.  Thanks for calling.
Who loves ya, baby?
Don't forget to read the fine print.

CHORUS

Aw, trust me!

The check's in the mail. (hey!)
You're beautiful.
Don't ever change.
You know what I mean.
Why don't you leave a message with my girl,
Or have lunch with your machine.  So baby,
Won't you sign
On the dotted line.
I'm gonna make your dreams come true.
The check's in the mail.
Would I lie to you?
The check's in the mail.
Would I lie to you?


@SONG: ANOTHER ONE RIDES THE BUS

Ridin' in a bus down the boulevard,
And the place was pretty packed.
Couldn't find a seat, so I had to stand,
With the perverts in the back.
It was smellin' like a locker room.
There was junk all over the floor.
We're already packed in like sardines,
But we're stoppin' to pick up more.
Look out!

CHORUS:
Another one rides the bus-ah.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
And another comes on,
And another comes on.
Another one rides the bus-ah.
Hey!
He's gonna sit by you.
Another one rides the bus.

There's a suitcase pokin' me in the ribs.
There's an elbow in my ear.
There's a smelly old bum standin' next to me.
Hasn't showered in a year.
Well, I think I'm missin' a contact lens.
I think my wallet's gone.
And I think this bus is stoppin' again,
To let a couple more freaks get on.
Look out!

CHORUS

Another one rides the bus.
Another one rides the bus--ow!
Another one rides the bus--hey, hey!
Another one rides the bus--hey-y-y-y!

The window doesn't open, and the fan is broke,
And my face is turnin' blue.
I haven't been in a crowd like this
Since I went to see The Who.
Well, I should'a got off a couple miles ago,
But I couldn't get to the door.
There isn't any room for me to breathe.
Now we're gonna pick up more, yeah!

CHORUS


@SONG: I'LL BE MELLOW WHEN I'M DEAD

I don't care about your karma.
I don't care about what's hip.
No space cadet's gonna tell me what to do.
I won't swim in your Jacuzzi.
You can't make me settle down.
I'd rather kick and jump and bite and scratch,
And scream until I'm blue.
I may as well be hyper,
As long as I'm still around.
'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back,
When I'm six feet under ground.

CHORUS:
I'll be mellow when I'm dead. (6 times)
When are you
Cosmic cowboys
Gonna get it through your head.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead. (6 times)

I can't stand the smell of incense.
I don't really like to jog.
No Joni Mitchell eight-tracks in my car. (ooh)
I hate anything organic.
Even health food makes me sick.
You won't catch me sipping Perrier
Down in some sushi bar.
I tell you, now's the time to go for
All the gusto you can grab.
You'll have plenty of time to be low-key
When you're laid out on the slab.

CHORUS

I don't want no part of that vegetarian scene.
I won't buy me a pair of designer jeans.
No redwood hot tub to my name.
I got all that I want,
And if it's all the same to you,
I don't need a course in self-awareness
To find out who I am.
And I'd rather have a
Big Mac or a Jumbo Jack
Than all the bean sprouts in Japan!

So don't ask me what I'm into.
I don't need to prove I'm cool.
I'll break your arm,
If you ask me what's my sign.
I won't tell you where my head's at.
I don't need to see no shrink.
Psychosis may be in this year,
But I'm really not that kind,
And I'm in no hurry to be casual.
In fact I think I'll wait
Until I'm pushing up the daisies.
(Like, wow, man, can you relate?)

I'll be mellow when I'm dead. (9 times)


@SONG: SUCH A GROOVY GUY

I got my alligator boots.  I wear my pants skin tight.
I wear my dark sunglasses in the middle of the night.
And when I look in the mirror, oh it's such an awesome sight.
It makes me want to kneel down and pray.

I'm so adorable and charming.
I'm sure that you can see.
And everybody's always tryin' to hang around with me.
They tell me I'm the greatest, and it's hard to disagree.
'Cause I'm so perfect in every way.

And I'm so cute,
I can hardly stand it.
And I'm so handsome, honey, I could just die.
I know you'll never be as wonderful as me,
But at least you can try.  'Cause

CHORUS:
I'm such a groovy guy.
(such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy.
(such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy guy.
(such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy.

Baby, are you in the mood for a little romance?
Well, for starters I could pour some chocolate pudding down your pants.
And then attach electrodes to your brain, and watch you dance.
Well, golly, wouldn't that be fun?
Oh, and then I might decide to tie you up with dental floss.
I'll make you wear a harness, and I'll show ya who's the boss.
Of course, if you refuse, well honey, it's your loss.
I mean, I don't do this with just anyone.

So baby, how can you say its all over?
So how can ya tell me goodbye?
So now you tell me that you're leavin' me for good,
And all I wanna know is why?
I mean, after all,

CHORUS

I mean you could do worse.

CHORUS


@SONG: MR. FRUMP IN THE IRON LUNG

I visit Mr. Frump in the hospital.
I see him 'most every day.
And when I see Mr. Frump in his iron lung,
This is what I hear him say:
(iron lung sounds)

Ya know, Mr. Frump is my very best friend.
He's never a chump or a tease.
He never tells me lies, and best of all,
He never disagrees.

I bring him candy and flowers every afternoon.
Sit down by his side and say "Hi".
And then I ask him his opinion of the world situation,
And I wait for Mr. Frump's reply.
And Mr. Frump would say:
(iron lung sounds)

Well, unfortunately, soon it came to be
Mr. Frump's dying day.
So now I bring to you the very last thing
That Mr. Frump had to say:
(rapid iron lung sounds)

A-men!
    
    
@ALBUM: IN 3-D

@SONG: EAT IT

How come you're always such a fussy young man,
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran,
Well don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan,
So eat it, just eat it.

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate.
You won't get no desert till you clean off your plate.
So eat it.

Don't tell me you're full

Just eat it, eat it,
Get yourself an egg and beat it.
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it,
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it.

Your table manners are a crying shame
Your playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game.
Now if you starve to death you'll just have yourself to blame.
So eat it, just eat it.

You better listen, better do what you're told,
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole,
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold,
So eat it.

I don't care if you're full

Just eat it, eat it.
Open up your mouth and feed it.
Have some more yogurt, have some more Span,
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it.

Have a banana, have a whole bunch,
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it,
eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it.

Just eat it, eat it,
If it's getting cold reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack,
If you don't like it you can't send it back.

Just eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it.
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it,
Don't you make me repeat it.


@SONG: MIDNIGHT STAR

I was waiting in the express lane with my twelve items or less,
At the checkout counter at the local grocery store.
I was only passin' by,
But a paper caught my eye,
And I learned a few things I never knew before.

It said, "Your pet may be an extraterrestrial."
It said, "The ghost of Elvis is living in my den.
You can learn to cope with stress,
And you can beat the IRS,
And the incredible frog boy is on the loose again!"

Oh, Midnight Star!
It's in the weekly Midnight Star.
Aliens from outer space are sleeping in my car.
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know.

Eat jelly doughnuts and lose twenty pounds a day.
Hear the story of the man born without a head.
And top psychics all agree
That the telephone company
Will have a brand new service that lets you talk to the dead.

Oh, Midnight Star!
You can believe it if you read it in the weekly Midnight Star.
They're keeping Hitler's brain alive inside a jar.
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know.

(Tell me, tell me, tell me how to make my bust line grow.)
Midnight Star, I wanna know...

Oh, Midnight Star!
Well, don'tcha know that I read it, I read it in the weekly Midnight Star.
The UFO's have landed and we'll tell you where they are.
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know,
Midnight Star.

Well, you can read all about it in the weekly Midnight Star.
You can use your ESP to learn to play guitar.
I wanna know, I wanna know.
I wanna know, I wanna know.
I wanna know, I wanna know.
I wanna know, I wanna know.
Inquiring minds like mine wanna know...
I wanna know, I wanna know.
I wanna know, I wanna know.
I wanna know, I wanna know.
I wanna know, I wanna know.


@SONG: THE BRADY BUNCH

You can watch Mister Rogers,
You can watch Three's Company,
And you can turn on Fame,
Or the Newlywed Game,
Or the Addams Family.

Say, you can watch Barney Miller,
And you can watch your MTV,
And you can watch
Till your eyes fall out of your head.
That'll be okay with me.
And you can watch (TV)

You can watch Johnny Carson,
You can watch Phil Donahue,
And you can use TV Guide
To help you decide,
With a capsulized review.

Say, you can watch 60 minutes,
Even Captain Kangaroo,
But there's only one set,
So whatever you watch
Well, you know I gotta watch it too.

A-say, give it up,
Give it up,
Television's takin' its toll.
That's enough,
That's enough.
Gimme the remote control.

I've been nice,
I've been good,
Please don't do this to me.
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
I don't wanna have to see
The Brady Bunch.
Not the Brady Bunch.
Well, the Brady Bunch.
Yeah, the Brady Bunch.

It's the story of a lovely lady,
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold,
Like their mother,
The youngest one in curls.

It's the story of a man named Brady
Who was busy with three boys of his own.
They were four men living all together,
A-yeah, but they were all alone.

Till then one day,
A-one day,
When the lady met this fellow
And they knew,
And they knew
It was much more than a hunch
That the group,
A-this group
Must somehow form a family.
That's the way,
That's the way,
That's the way they all became the Brady Bunch.

Well, the Brady Bunch,
Yeah, the Brady Bunch,
Well, the Brady Bunch.
Oh, it's the Brady Bu-unch...

Living in dis American town.

Gonna get me some Jackson Browne.

T'row away all me ganja.

And a microwave oven too.

For a weenie barbecue.

@SONG: I LOST ON JEOPARDY

Ohhhhhh...
I was there, to match my intellect, on national TV,
Against a plumber, and an architect, both with a Ph.D.
I was tense, I was nervous,
I guess it just wasn't my night.
Art Fleming gave the answers,
Oh, but I couldn't get the questions right-ight-ight

I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)

Well I knew I was in trouble now,
My hope of winning sank,
'Cause I got the Daily Double now,
And then my mind went blank.
I took Potpourri for one hundred,
And then my head started to spin.
Well, I'm givin' up.  Don Pardo,
Just tell me now what I didn't win,
Yeah, yeah.

I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)

That's right Al--you lost!  And let me tell what you didn't win: a twenty-
volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a
year's supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat.  But that's not all!
You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people!  And
you brought shame and disgrace on your family name for generations to come!
You don't get to come back tomorrow!  You don't even get a lousy copy of your
home game!  You're a complete loser!!

Don't know what I was thinkin' of,
I guess I just wasn't too bright.
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on The Price Is Right-ight-ight

I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby...


@SONG: POLKAS ON 45

They tell us that we lost our tails,
Evolving up from little snails.
I say it's all just wind and sails.
Are we not men, we are Devo.
Are we not men, D-E-V-O.

Smoke on the water.
A fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water.

(I'm a man) I'm a boy.
(I'm a man) Well, I'm your mother.
(I'm a man) I'm a one-night stand.
(I'm a man) Am I by?
(I'm a man) I'm your slave.
I'm a little girl,
When we make love together.
Hey, hey, hey!

Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better,
Better, better, better, better, better, better, yeah!

L.A. woman.  You're my woman.
Got my mojo risin'.  Mister Mojo risin'.
Hey!

Don'tcha know that I'll always be true.

Hey Joe, where ya goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe!  Where ya goin' with that gun in your hand?
Gonna shoot my old lady.
Caught her messin' around with another man.

(yodel)

I'm an ordinary guy, burnin' down the house.

I'm hot blooded, chicken in sea.
Got a fever of a hundred and three.
Come on, baby, you can do more than dance.
I'm hot blooded, hot blooded!

Every breath you take, every move you make,
Every bond you break, every step you take,
I'll be watchin' you.

Darling, you gotta let me know,
Should I stay, or should I go?
If you say that you are mine,
I'll be here till the end of time.
But you gotta let me know, wo-wo-wo.
Should I stay, or should I go?

But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas.
But it's all right--jumpin' jack flash, it's a gas, gas, gas!

People try to put us down.
(Talkin' bout my generation)
Just because we get around.
(Talkin' bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold.
(Talkin' bout my generation)
Hope I die before I get old.
(Talkin' bout my generation)
Talkin' bout my generation.
Talkin' bout my generation.
Well, talkin' bout my generation!

But I'm known in this city as the King of Suede.

We got portly and regular and extra-long.
(Is my size up there?)
We got tailors to fix it, if it comes out wrong.
(Is my size up there?)
We got all kinds of sweatshirts, you can take your pick.
(Is my size up there?)
With the collars ripped off, like that Flashdance flick.
(Is my size up there?)

Our prices are low, my staff is underpaid.
You can buy off the rack, or have it custom made,
And it's all guaranteed to never shrink or fade,
'Cause of my reputation as the King of Suede.

If you need a tuxedo for your junior prom,
(Is my size up there?)
We can get you the best one that's made in Taiwan.
(Is my size up there?)
We got jackets with patches on the elbows, too.
(Is my size up there?)
And we'll sell 'em all factory-direct to you.
(Is my size up there?)

Well, I never made it past the second grade.
It took all of my life for me to learn this trade.
But my friends are all thinking that I've got it made,
'Cause I'm known the world over as the King of Suede.

There's a two-for-one sale on our three-piece suits.
Check out our suede pajamas and our suede-covered boots.
You can try on our suede underwear if you choose.
Do what you want, but don't step on my blue suede shoes.

King of Suede.

Don't miss out on our giant liquidation sale.
(Is my size up there?)
Look for our color catalog in next week's mail.
(Is my size up there?)
There's a sale on our double-knit slacks today.
It's the same old sale as yesterday.

Thirty years in the same location I have stayed,
There I am, right next door to Willy's Fun Arcade.
I got tough competition but I'm not afraid,
'Cause it's my destiny to be the King of Suede.

King of Suede.
King of Suede.
King of Suede.
I'll always be King of Suede.
I'll always be King of Suede.


@SONG: THAT BOY COULD DANCE

We all used to call him Jimmy the Geek
He was a dumb-lookin', scrawny, little four-eyed freak
He never used to hang around with the guys
He'd just sit in the corner, attractin' the flies

He wasn't much to look at
He never was very bright
but at least there was one thing that he could do all right
That boy could dance

He was kind of a jerk
He was kind of a bore
but the women would scream when he walked in the door
'cause one thing I could tell you for sure
That boy could dance

Picking teams, he would always be last
He couldn't run very far,
He couldn't think very fast
If he was on your side, you`d always lose
the guy had a problem, even tying his shoes

He never passed his drivers test
He was always afraid of cars
and he had a complexion that resembled the surface of Mars
but that boy could dance

Well, his hair was a mess
and his clothes didn't fit
He smelled pretty bad, and he drooled just a bit
but you gotta admit
boy, that boy could dance

Now that boy is much older
he's got his own dance studio
He's got a teeny bopper fan club
yeah, he's got his own TV show
now he owns half of Montana
they all call him "Diamond Jim"
and you know I'd do anything if I could be just like him
'cause that boy could dance.


@SONG: THEME FROM ROCKY XIII

Fat and weak, what a disgrace.
Guess the champ got too lazy.
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space.
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain.

But he's no bum, he works down the street.
He bought the neighborhood deli.
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat.
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say:

Try the rye or the kaiser,
They're on special tonight.
If you want, you can have an appetizer.
You might like our salami, and the liver's all right.
And they'd really go well with the rye,
Or the kaiser.

Never eats while on the job.
He heard it's good to stay hungry.
But he makes a pretty mean shish kabob.
Have a taste, they were made fresh today.

Try the rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white.
Maybe I can suggest an appetizer.
Stay away from the tuna, it smells funny tonight.
But you just can't go wrong with the rye,
Or the kaiser.

So today, his deli comes first.
Still he dreams of his past days of glory.
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst,
All the while you can still hear him say:

It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite.
Let me please be your catering advisor.
If you want substitutions, I won't put up a fight.
You can have your roast beef on the rye,
Or the kaiser.

The rye or the kaiser,
The rye or the kaiser,
The rye or the kaiser...


@SONG: NATURE TRAIL TO HELL

Coming this Christmas to a theatre near you,
The most horrifying film to hit the screen.
There's a homicidal maniac who finds a Cub Scout troop,
And he hacks up two or three in every scene.

Please don't reveal the secret ending to your friends.
Don't spoil the big surprise.
You won't believe your eyes when you see

Nature Trail to Hell,
Nature Trail to Hell,
Nature Trail to Hell,
In 3-D.

Nature Trail to Hell,
Nature Trail to Hell,
Nature Trail to Hell,
In 3-D.

See severed heads that almost fall right in your lap.
See that bloody hatchet coming right at you.
No, you'll never see hideous effects like these again,
Till we bring you "Nature Trail to Hell--Part 2."

So bring the kids along, it's good clean family fun.
What have you got to lose,
If you like the six o'clock news, then you'll love

Nature Trail to Hell,
Nature Trail to Hell,
Nature Trail to Hell,
In 3-D.

Nature Trail to Hell,
Nature Trail to Hell,
Nature Trail to Hell,
In 3-D.
    
    
@ALBUM - DARE TO BE STUPID

@SONG: LIKE A SURGEON

I finally made it through med school.
Somehow I made it through.
I'm just an intern, I still make a mistake or two.

I was last in the class,
Barely passed at the institute.
Now I'm tryin' to avoid
Yeah, I'm tryin' to avoid
A malpractice suit.

Hey, like a surgeon,
Cuttin' for the very first time.
Like a surgeon,
Organ transplants are my line.

Better give me all your gauze, nurse,
This patient's fading fast.
Complications have set in,
Don't know how long he'll last.

Let me see that I.V.
Here we go, time to operate.
I'll pull his insides out.
Pull his insides out,
And see what he ate.

Like a surgeon, hey!
Cuttin' for the very first time.
Like a surgeon,
Here's a waiver for you to sign.
Wo-ho.  Wo-ho.  Wo-ho

It's a fact.  I'm a quack.
The disgrace of the A.M.A.
'Cause my patients die.
Yeah, my patients die
Before they can pay.

Like a surgeon, hey!
Cuttin' for the very first time.
Like a surgeon.
Got your kidneys on my mind.
Like a surgeon, ooh hoo, like a surgeon,
When I reach inside
With my scalpel,
And my forceps,
And retractors.
Oh ho.  Oh ho.  Ooh, baby,
Yeah, I can hear your heart beat
For the very last time.


@SONG: DARE TO BE STUPID

Put down that chain saw and listen to me.
It's time for us to join in the fight.
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
It's time to let the bedbugs bite.
You better put all your eggs in one basket.
You better count your chickens before they hatch.
You better sell some wine before its time.
You better find yourself an itch to scratch.

You better squeeze all the Charmin you can,
When Mr. Whipple's not around.
Stick your head in the microwave, and get yourself a tan.
Talk with your mouth full.
Bite the hand that feeds you.
Bite off more than you can chew.
What can you do?
Dare to be stupid.

Take some wooden nickels.
Look for Mr. Goodbar.
Get your mojo working now.
I'll show you how.
You can dare to be stupid.

You can turn the other cheek.
You can just give up the ship.
You can eat a bunch of sushi, then forget to leave a tip.
Dare to be stupid.

Come on and dare to be stupid.
It's so easy to do.
We're all waiting for you.
Let's go!

It's time to make a mountain out of a molehill.
So can I have a volunteer?
There's no more time for crying over spilled milk.
Now it's time for crying in your beer.
Settle down and raise a family, join the P.T.A.
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet.
Then party till you're broke, and they drag you away.
It's okay.
You can dare to be stupid.

It's like spitting on a fish.
It's like barking up a tree.
It's like I said, you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free.
Dare to be stupid.

Yes.  Why don't you dare to be stupid.
It's so easy, so easy to do.
We're all waiting for you.
Burn your candle at both ends.
Look a gift horse in the mouth.
Mashed potatoes can be your friends.

You can be a coffee achiever.
You can sit around the house
And watch "Leave It To Beaver."
The future's up to you.
So what you gonna do?
Dare to be stupid.
Dare to be stupid.

What did I say?
(Dare to be stupid.)
Tell me, what did I say?
(Dare to be stupid.)
It's all right.
(Dare to be stupid.)
We can be stupid all night.
(Dare to be stupid.)
Come on, join the crowd.
(Dare to be stupid.)
Shout it out loud.
(Dare to be stupid.)
I can't hear you.
(Dare to be stupid.)
Okay, I can hear you now.


@SONG: I WANT A NEW DUCK

I want a new duck.
One that won't try to bite.
One that won't chew a hole in my socks.
One that won't quack all night.

I want a new duck.
One with big webbed feet.
One that knows how to wash my car,
And keep his room real neat.

One that won't raid the ice box.
One that'll stay in shape.
One that's never gonna try
To migrate or escape,
Or I'll tie him up with duck tape.

I want a new duck.
A mallard, I think.
One that won't make a mess of my house,
Or build a nest in the bathroom sink.

I want a new duck.
One that won't steal my beer.
One that won't stick his bill in my mail.
One that knows "The duck stops here."

One that won't drive me crazy
Waddling all around.
One who'll teach me how to swim,
And help me not to drown.
And show me how to get down.
"How to get down", baby.  Get it?

(quack, quack, quack, quack, quack)

I want a new duck.
Not a swan or a goose.
Just a drake I can dress real cute.
Think I'm gonna name him Bruce.

I want a new duck.
Not a quail or an owl.
One that won't molt too much.
One that won't smell too foul.

One that won't beg for breadcrumbs,
Hangin' around all day.
He'd better mind his manners.
Better do just what I say,
Or he's gonna be duck pate'.
Duck pate', yeah yeah.


@SONG: ONE MORE MINUTE

Well, I heard that you're leavin',
Gonna leave me far behind,
'Cause you found a brand new lover,
You decided that I'm not your kind,

So I pulled your name out of my Rolodex,
And I tore all your pictures in two,
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go,
Just because it reminds me of you.

That's right, you ain't gonna see me cryin'.
I'm glad that you found somebody new,
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass,
Than spend one more minute with you.

I guess I might seem kinda bitter.
You got me feelin' down in the dumps.
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the Gas Station of Love,
And I have to use the self-service pumps!

Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase.
You ain't gonna break my heart in two.
'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face,
Than spend one more minute with you.

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork,
Than watch you going out with other men.
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door,
Again and again and again and again and again.

Aw, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, darlin'.

I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches,
Shove an ice pick under a toenail or two.
I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with
    my tongue,
Than spend one more minute with you.

Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks,
Or stick my nostrils together with Krazy Glue.
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor
    blades,
Than spend one more minute with you.

I'd rather rip my heart right out of my rib cage with my bare hands
   and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it till I die...
Than spend one more minute with you.


@SONG: YODA

I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
where it bubbles all the time
like a giant carbonated soda,
S O D A, soda,

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
well, I asked him his name
and in a raspy voice he said Yoda,
Y O D A, Yoda,
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

Well, I've ben around but I ain't never seen
a guy who looks like a muppet
but he's wrinkled and green
Oh my Yoda,
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

Now, I left home just a week before,
and I ain't never been a Jedi before
but Obi-Wan said "You stay the course,
You go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force."

Now, I'm not the kind that'll argue with Ben
So it looks I'm gonna start all over again
with my Yoda,
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

So I picked up some rocks,
Just by using my head,
But I won't forget what Yoda said, he said
"Luke, stay away from the darker side,
  and if you start to go astray let the Force be your guide."
Oh my Yoda,
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

He said, "I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed,
	But, remember if you kill him then
	you'll be unemployed!"
Oh my Yoda,
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
so it looks like I'll be leaving Yoda, I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be making these movies till I'm old and grey!

The Long-term contract I hadda sign
means I'll be making these movies till the end of time
with my Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
(continue to fade...)


@SONG: GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE

George, George, George of the Jungle,
Strong as he can be.
Watch out for that tree!

George, George, George of the Jungle,
Lives a life that's free.
Watch out for that tree!

When he gets in scrapes,
When he makes his escapes,
With the help of his friend,
An ape named Ape,
Then away he'll slip,
On his elephant ship,
While Fella and Ursula stay in step, with

George, George, George of the Jungle,
Friend to you and me.
Watch out for that tree!
Watch out for that tree!
George, George, George of the Jungle,
Friend to you and me.


@SONG: SLIME CREATURES FROM OUTER SPACE

Things just haven't been the same,
Since the flying saucer came.
Now the aliens are on the loose.
Well, we tried to hold 'em back,
Tried to ward off their attack,
But our atom bombs were just no use.
They were ugly, they were mean,
Biggest heads I ever seen.
They made everybody scream and shout.
First they leveled Tokyo,
Then New York was next to go.
Boy, I really wish they'd cut it out!

They wasted everybody on my block.
There goes the neighborhood.
They'll zap you with their death-ray eyes,
And blow you up real good.
Run for your lives!
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
They're not very nice to the human race.
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)

There's more comin' every day,
And they just won't go away.
Now they're reproducing in the sewers.
They got slimy lizard skin,
And an evil-lookin' grin,
And they sure could use some manicures.

They got hands all covered with fungus.
They got eyes like some kinda bug.
I sure hope they don't come in here,
I just shampooed the rug.
Run for your lives!
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
They're really makin' a mess of this place.
(Slime Creatures.)
(Slime Creatures.)

(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)

They'll rip your head off just for fun.
They'll paralyze your mind.
They're wearin' out their welcome.
I don't think I like their kind.
They'll suck your brain out through a straw.
You just can't trust those guys.
So hide the children, lock the doors,
And always watch the skies.
Look out!  Here come the...

(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
They're an intergalactic disgrace.
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
I wish they'd just get outta my face.
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
(Slime Creatures from Outer Space.)
They're makin' a big, fat mess of this place.
(Slime Creatures.)
(Slime Creatures.)
Where did they come from?
What do they want from us?
Who do they think they are?
(Slime Creatures.  Slime Creatures.)
Why don't they leave me alone?
(Slime Creatures.  Slime Creatures.)
They're really getting on my nerves.


@SONG: GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE LUNCH

Some girls like to buy new shoes,
And others like drivin' trucks and wearing tattoos.
There's only one thing that they all like a bunch.
Oh, girls, they wanna have lunch.
Oh, girls, they just wanna have lunch.

I know how to keep a woman satisfied.
When I whip out my Diner's Card their eyes get so wide.
They're always in the mood for something to munch.
Oh, girls, they wanna have lunch.
Oh, girls just wanna have...

That's all they really want.
Some lunch.
Don't ask 'em to dinner or breakfast or brunch.
'Cause girls, they wanna have lunch.
Oh, girls just wanna have lunch.

She eats like she got a hole in her neck,
And I'm the one that always gets stuck with the check.
Can't figure out how come they don't weigh a ton.
Oh, girls, they wanna have lunch.
Oh, girls just wanna have...

That's all they really want,
Is some lunch.
Don't know for certain, but I've got a hunch.
Those girls, they wanna have lunch.
Oh, girls just wanna have lunch.

They just wanna,
They just wanna...


@SONG: THIS IS THE LIFE

I eat filet mignon seven times a day.
My bathtub's filled with Perrier.
What can I say?
This is the life!

I buy a dozen cars when I'm in the mood.
I hire somebody to chew my food.
I'm an upwardly mobile dude.
This is the life!

They say that money corrupts you,
But I can't really tell.
I got the whole world at my feet,
And I think it's pretty swell.

I got women lined up outside my door.
They've been waitin' there since the week before.
Who could ask for more?
This is the life!

You're dead for a real long time.
You just can't prevent it.
So if money can't buy happiness,
I guess I'll have to rent it.

Yeah, every day I make the front page news.
No time to pay my dues.
I got a million pairs of shoes.
This is the life!

I got a solid gold Cadillac.
I make a fortune while I sleep.
You can tell I'm a living legend,
Not some ordinary creep.

No way, I'm the boss.  The Big Cheese.
Yeah, I got this town on its knobby little knees.
I can do just what I please.
This is the life!

That's right, I'm the king.  Number One.
I buy monogrammed Kleenex by the ton.
I pay the bills, I call the shots,
I grease the palms, I buy the yachts.

One thing I can guarantee.
The best things in life, they sure ain't free.
It's such a thrill just to be me.
This is the life!
This is the life!
    
    
@ALBUM: EVEN WORSE

@SONG: Fat

Your butt is wide, well mine is too.
Just watch your mouth, or I'll sit on you.
The word is out, better treat me right,
Cause I'm the king of cellulite.
Ham on ham on ham on whole wheat, all right.

My zippers bust, my buckles break.
I'm too much man for you to take.
The pavement cracks when I fall down.
I've got more chins than Chinatown.

Well I've never used a phone booth,
And I've never seen my toes.
When I'm goin' to the movies
I take up seven rows.

Because I'm fat, I'm fat--come on.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat--you know it.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat--come on you know.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
Don'tcha call me pudgy, portly or stout.
Just tell me once again: Who's fat?

When I walk out to get my mail,
It measures on the Richter scale.
Down at the beach I'm a lucky man.
I'm the only one who gets a tan.
If I have one more pie a la mode
I'm gonna need my own zip code.

When you're only having seconds,
I'm having twenty-thirds.
When I go to get my shoes shined,
I gotta take their word.

Because I'm fat, I'm fat--come on.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat--you know it.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat--you know it you know.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds.
Lemme tell you once again who's fat.

If you see me comin' your way,
Better give me plenty space.
If I tell you that I'm hungry,
Then won't you feed my face.

Because I'm fat, I'm fat--come on.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat--you know it.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat--you know it you know.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
Woo woo woo.  When I sit around the house,
I really sit around the house.

You know I'm fat, I'm fat--come on.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat--you know it, you know it.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know you know you know--come on.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
And you know all by myself I'm a crowd.
Lemme tell you once again.

You know I'm huge, I'm fat, you know it.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat--you know, hoo.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat--you know it, you know.
(Fat fat--really really fat)
And the whole world knoes I'm fat and I'm proud.
Just tell me once again--who's fat?


@SONG: Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White

Doctor, every night I have the strangest dreams.
Doctor, listen to me, tell me what this means.
First I'm goin' shoppin' in my underwear,
Then all of sudden I'm floating in mid air.
My lips fall off and everybody starts to stare.
Donuts and hot dogs are flying everywhere.

Now Doctor, wait a minute, you ain't heard nothin' yet.
Next comes the part that I won't ever forget.
Now I'm bein' followed by these Russian spies.
They give me some velcro, and an order of fries.
Suddenly I'm bowling on the Starship Enterprise.
I fall down a hole and that's when I realize

chorus: I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White.
	I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White.
	Night after night after night after night.

All right!

Doctor, won't you tell me, am I going insane?
Was it something I ate, or something wrong with my brain?
See, I'm naked in church when I meet a dinosaur.
Try to run, but my feet have been nailed to the floor.
Then a midget pushes me through a revolving door,
And I'm back in the very same place I was before.

(chorus)

And I can't bust out, and I can't break free.
And it's gettin' just a little too stuffy here for me.
And I can't go home, and I can't get loose,
And I try to escape, but it's just no use.
And I can't ever leave, and I can't ever win.
And we're runnin' outta air, and the walls are closin' in.
And I can't go back, and I can't get through.
But Vanna, since you're here, why don't you let me buy a vowel from you?
Come on Vanna, come on!

Doctor, all those crazy dreams have started again.
That's right, I even wake up screaming now and then.
See, I'm coming home from work, but I forgot my address.
I'm half an hour late for my algebra test.
Then some slimy alien jumps out of my chest,
And I'm falling and falling, and I guess you know the rest.

(chorus repeated 4 times)

@SONG: You Make Me

You make me wanna slam my head against the wall.
You make me do the limbo.
You make me wanna buy a slurpee at the mall.
You make me watch the Gong Show.
There's really something kinda strange about you, baby,
   but I can't exactly seem to put my finger on it.

You make me,
You make me,
You make me.
That's what you do to me.

You make me wanna hide a weasel in my shorts.
You make me wanna phone home.
You make me wanna write a dozen book reports,
Then pack myself in styrofoam.
Sometimes you make me want to build a model of the
   Eiffel Tower out of Belgian waffles.

You make me,
You make me,
You make me. 
That's what you do to me.

That's what you do,
That's what you do.
That's what you do to me.

You make me wanna hang out in a trailer park,
Then take my hamster to the beach.
You make me wanna do my laundry in the dark,
And use a recommended bleach.
When I'm with you, I don't know whether I should study neurosurgery
   or go to see the Care Bears movie.

You make me,
You make me,
You make me.
That's what you do to me.
That's what you do,
That's what you do.
That's what you do to me.
That's what you do to me,
That's what you do to me.
That's what you do to me.

You make me wanna break the laws of time and space.
You make me wanna eat pork.
You make me wanna staple bagels to my face,
Then remove 'em with a pitchfork.
You know there's omething quite unusual about you,
   but I can't exactly seem to put my finger on it.


@SONG: I Think I'm A Clone Now

Isn't it strange...? Feels like I'm lookin' in the mirror
What would people say...if only they knew that I was
Part of some geneticist's plan
Born to be a carbon copy man
There in a petri dish late one night
They took a donor's body cell and fertilized a human egg and so I say...

I think I'm a clone now
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down

Look at the way...we go out walking close together
I guess you could say...I'm really beside myself
I still remember how it began
They produced a carbon copy man
Born in a science lab late one night
Without a mother or a father
Just a test tube and a womb with a view...

I think I'm a clone now
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now
And I can stay at home while I'm out of town
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every pair of genes is a hand-me-down

Signing autographs for my fans
Come and meet the carbon copy man
Livin' in stereo, it's all right
Well I can be my own best friend and I can send myself for pizza, so I say...

I think I'm a clone now
Another one of me's always hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now
I've been on Oprah Winfrey, I'm world renowned
I think I'm a clone now
And every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
I think I'm a clone now
Thats my genetic twin always hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down


@SONG: Lasagna

@SONG: Melanie

chorus: Me-he-he-helanie,
	What can the problem be?
	Sweet Me-he-he-he-helanie,
	Why won't you go out with me?

She lived across the street on the fifteenth floor of the Gilmore building.
I saw her in the shower reaching for some soap.
I knew she had to be the girl for me, and to think I probably
   never would have found her,
If I hadn't bought that telescope.

(chorus)

I just can't understand it.
Why won't you return my phone calls?
Are you still mad I gave a mohawk to your cat?
If you'd just say the word, I'm certain that our love would last
   forever and ever,
Or are you too dumb to realize that?

(chorus)

How can you ignore me, when you know that I can't live without you?
I have to go through your garbage just to learn more about you.
Melanie,
Oh sweet Me-he-he-helanie,
Why won't you go out with me?

You weren't impressed when I tattooed your name across my forehead.
You wouldn't listen when I promised to be true.
I couldn't stand it, so I jumped out from the sixteenth story
   window right above you.
Now I may be dead but I still love you.

(chorus repeated 5 times)


@SONG: Alimony

Here she come now, wants her alimony.
Bleedin' me dry as a bony bony.
Work at three jobs just to stay in debt now.
Well first she took my nest egg, then she took the nest.
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

'Cause she took my house...my car,
My shoes...and my toothbrush too.
Too bad...so sad.
A-she got...got the gift of grab.
I'm in debt, debt, debt, debt, debt, debt.

Lawyer's callin' me on the telephony.
Tryin'-a squeeze-a blood from a stony stony.
Ooh, I took her for better or for worse, yeah.
Then she took me for everything, yeah everything
She could get, get, get, get, get.

Well I'm out of cash...no dough.
I'm broke...it's no joke.
The check's in the mail...get off
My back...cut me some slack.
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(Ooh, I want my almo-mo-mony)  Oh you do?
(Ooh, I want my almo-mo-mony)  Is it due?
(Ooh, I want my almo-mo-mony)  Or you'll sue?
(Ooh, I want my almo-mo-mony)
Alimony, mony, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.


@SONG: Velvet Elvis

My life, it used to be incomplete,
Till I saw what I was looking for at a drive-in swap meet.
My life it won't be the same again.
Now I'm proud to say the king lives on inside my den.

Oh, it's all I live for, it's all I need.
My velvet Elvis,
My velvet Elvis.
My velvet Elvis means the world to me.

Although he may not be worth much dough,
He means much more to me than some old Rembrandt or Van Gogh.
Check out those sideburns, there is nothing greater.
You can tell that he's no velvet Elvis imitator.

It's all I live for, it's all I need.
My velvet Elvis,
My velvet Elvis.
My velvet Elvis,
Oh, now you can't you see,
My velvet Elvis,
My velvet Elvis,
My velvet Elvis means the world to me.

In my own private Graceland,
In my own little shrine to the king,
I don't want nothin' else.
No, I don't need anything.
Don't need no lava lamp,
Don't need no soap on a rope,
No pictures of Mexican kids with those really big eyes,
Or dogs playing poker.

When I'm at home watching my TV,
I know the king is always looking down on me.
He looks so handsome, he stands so tall,
So glad he's big enough to cover up that hole in the wall.

(Velvet Elvis) He's so fuzzy.
(Velvet Elvis) He's so great.
(Velvet Elvis) Never ages.
(Velvet Elvis) Never puts on weight.
(Velvet Elvis) Look at those rhinestones.
(Velvet Elvis) He's just so fine.
(Velvet Elvis) You can look but don't touch now.
(Velvet Elvis) 'Cause he's mine all mine.


@SONG: Twister

Yeah!
Well, Milton Bradley's got a def one.
It's a Twister!  (Twister!  Twister!  Twister!)
Yeah, all the girls and homeboys
Playin' Twister!  (Twister!  Twister!  Twister!)
Spin the spinner and call the shot.
Twister ties you up in a knot.
That's Twister.
Yeah, Twister!

Check it!
Right foot blue!  (Right foot blue!)
Left hand red!  (Left hand red!)
Left!  Right!  Yellow!  Blue!  Green!
Yeah, Twister!

Now, everybody's chillin'
With the Twister.  (Twister!)
Wherever things are illin',
You'll find Twister!  (Twister!  Twister!)
That's Twister.
Yeah, Twister!

Yeah buddy!
You gotta get it.
Yeah Twister!

@SONG: Good Old Days

Oh some times I think back to when I was younger 
life was so much simpler then 
Dad would be up at dawn, he'd be watering the lawn 
or maybe going fishing again 
 
Oh and mom would be fixing up something in the kitchen 
fresh biscuits or hot apple pie 
and I'd spend all day long in the basement 
torturing rats with a hack-saw and pulling the wings off of flies 
 
Those were the good ol' days 
those were the good ol' days 
years go by, but the memories fade 
and those were the good ol' days 
 
I still remember good ol' Mr. Fender 
who ran the corner grocery store 
always strolled down the ailes with a big friendly smile 
and he'd say howdy when you walked through the door 

Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice 
I don't know why I set fire to his place 
Oh I'll never forget the day I smashed in his head 
Oh you shoulda seen the look on his face 

let me tell ya 'bout it... 
CHORUS 
CHORUS 

Do you remember sweet Michele, she was my high school romance 
she was fun to talk to and nice to smell 
so I took her to the homecoming dance 
then I tied her to a chair and I shaved off all her hair 
and I left her in the desert all alone 
Oh sometimes in my dreams I can still hear the screams 
Oh I wander if she ever made it home.... 

I tell ya...

Living With a Hernia

All I do is grunt and groan
Hurts me to walk anywhere
Went to see my physician, Dr. Jones
He took my trousers off, told me to cough
Doctor says there ain't nothin' to discuss
He tells me any day I might have to wear a truss

Living with a hernia
All the time, such aggravation
Living with a hernia
Gonna be my ruination
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation
Feel so old

Too much bad pain
Good gawd, drives me insane
Can't run, barely crawl
Got a bulge in my intestinal wall
Walk real funny, bless my soul
Can't play tennis and it's hard to bowl
You can't even do the splits now...Better call it quits now
I'm sick of all this dancin' anyhow

Living with a hernia
Hurts me bad in a tender location
Living with a hernia
Had enough humiliation
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation

I live with a hernia
Can't get up, can't bend over
Now I live with a hernia
Wait a minute...
You may not be familiar with the common types
Of hernias that you could get
So just settle down, let me clue you in
There's incomplete
Epigastric
Bladder
Strangulated
Lumbar hernia
Richter's hernia
Obstructed
Inguinal and Direct

Living with a hernia...Rupture!
I said it's causin' me such irritation
Living with a hernia
Have to have my medication
Living with a hernia
I feel bad!

Dog Eat Dog

Found a job in a great big office
And I really love this place
I got my very own Scotch tape dispenser
And I got a private parking space...ha!

And I got a coffe mug with my name right on it
In big bold letters so everyone knows it's mine
Don't even touch it, 'cause it doesn't belong to you
I'm watching you, so don't get funny

I'm climbing up, up the corporate ladder
Watch out...It's dog eat dog
Nose against the grindstone, it feels all right
Watch out...Well, it's dog eat dog
Here we go

I love to watch my boss get angry
So I can count the veins on his neck...ha!
Every day is like a picnic
Every Friday, get a check

Well, do I smell jelly donuts?  This is my lucky day!
I'll have some coffee with a carcinogenic sweetener
Hold on a minute, just one more jelly donut
They'll never miss it...No, they'll never miss it!

I'm climbing up, up the corporate ladder
Watch out...Well, it's dog eat dog
Nose against the grindstone, it feels all right
Watch out...Hey! Well, it's dog eat dog

Sometimes I can't believe this is all really happening
Sometimes I can't believe that I'm really sitting here
Sometimes I tell myself, "This is not my beautiful stapler!"
Sometimes I tell myself, "This is not my beautiful chair!"

Nobody's sure what I do here
And that's just fine with me
Five o'clock is here much too soon now
'Cause I just never wanna leave

I can bend paper clips into the shapes of small animals
Maybe I could get on David Letterman
I think I made a big mistake
Where's my liquid paper? Where's my liquid paper?

I'm climbing up, way up the corporate ladder now
Watch out...Well, it's dog eat dog
Nose against the grindstone, it feels all right
Better be careful now, it's dog eat dog
Watch me work...Hey! Hey! Stand back now!
Look out, mama, it's dog eat dog
Nose against the grindstone, it feels real good
Hey! Dog eat dog

Addicted to Spuds

Potato skins, potato cakes
Hash browns and instant flakes
Baked or boiled or french fried
There's no kind you haven't tried
You planned a trip to Idaho
Just to watch potatoes grow
I understand how you must feel
I can't deny they've got a peel

Wo, you like 'em whether they're plain or they're stuffed, oh yeah
Better face the facts, it seems you can't get enough
You know, you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to spuds

Your greasy hands, your salty lips
Looks like you found the chips
Your belly aches, your teeth grind
Some tater tots would blow your mind
And you don't mind if they're not cooked
You need your fix, I guess you're hooked
And late at night you always dream
Of bacon bits and sour cream

Wo, you like 'em even if they're lumpy or tough, oh yeah
It's pretty obvious to me you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to spuds

Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds

I'm giving up, it's just no use
Another case of spud abuse
What can I say, what can I do
Potato bug has got me, too

Wo, I used to hate 'em, now they're all that I eat, oh yeah
I've often seen 'em whipped, but they just can't be beat
Now I'm gonna have to face it, I'm addicted to spuds

One of Those Days

Got to work late 'cause my alarm was busted
The boss chewed me out and everybody's disgusted
'Cause it's just one of those days
It's just one of those days

I lost one of my socks in the drier
I can't find my wallet and my hair is on fire
Just one of those days
It's just one of those days

I just wrapped my Cadillac around a tree
A big swarm of locusts is following me
There's not even anything good on TV
It's just one of those days
It's just one of those days

Left all my Beatles records out in the sun
Got a Coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue
It's just one of those days
Gonna be one of those days

The Nazis tied me up and covered me with ants
And I spilled toxic waste on my brand new pants
Just one of those days
Ever have one of those days?

The bank called me up and told me I'm overdrawn
Some freaks are burnin' crosses out on my front lawn
And I can't believe it, all the Cheetos are gone!
It just...just one of those, one of those days
Just one of those, one of those days

The F.B.I. has got a tap on my phone
Those darn Russian spies won't leave me alone
Shouldn't have got up this morning, shoulda known
It's just one of those days
It's just one of those days

A 747 crashed into my den
And there's nothin' but tater tots for dinner again
It's just one of those days
Never mind, it's just one of those days

Big steamroller just ran over my mom
And I cut myself shaving and they're dropping the bomb
It's just one of those days
That's all, it's just one of those days

Then late at night, just before I go to bed
The world blows up and now everybody's dead
You just can't deny it, it's just like I said
Just...just one of those, one of those days
Just one of those days, one of those days

Here's Johnny

There he goes, he drives me crazy
When he says...(Hee-eere's Johnny!)
That's his job, it's so amazing
All he says is...(Hee-eere's Johnny!)
I never miss a moment when he's on the tube
His being there has made my life worth living
The chills run down my spine
Each time he says that line

"Here's Johnny!" He says, and laughs in his special way
"...Johnny!" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny!" he says, and "second fiddle" is his game
Ed McMahon's his name...all right

Dressed so fine, he's such a cool dude
Hear him say...(Hee-eere's Johnny!)
Watch him selling beer and dog food
Hear him say...(Hee-eere's Johnny!)
I got a letter from him just the other day
He said, "You may already be a winner!"
A trooper to the end
A Clydesdale's best friend

"Here's Johnny!" he says, and laughs in his special way
"...Johnny!" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny!" he says, and that's the way he gets his pay
What a living
Oh...(Here's Johnny!  Here's Johnny!) Wo-o-o, no
(Here's Johnny!  Here's Johnny!) No no no no no no, I don't believe it
(Here's Johnny!) he says, and everytime it's just the same
Ed McMahon's his name

A very special guy...all right
He's on every night
Can't change the channel
When he's sitting on the panel
(Hee-eere's Johnny!)
There he goes, he gives me goose bumps
When he says...(Hey-O-Hey-Hey-O!)

"Here's Johnny!" he says, and laughs in his special way
"...Johnny!" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny!" he says, that seems to be his claim to fame
Ed McMahon's his name

Don't Wear Those Shoes

I don't care
If you wreck my car or shave off all my hair
You can go
And run your vacuum during my favorite show
And I'll let you call up folks in Europe you don't even know
Anything you want, babe, if it makes you happy

But I'm begging you down on my bended knees
Oh honey, please don't wear those shoes
You can spend my money, you can waste my time
Baby, I don't mind, but please don't wear those shoes
Don't wear those shoes

It's all right
You can play your Twisted Sister every night
I suppose
You can lick the middles out of my Oreos
Or start laughing while you're drinking milk so it comes out your nose
And you know that I'd do anything to please you

But I'm begging you down on my bended knees
Oh honey, please don't wear those shoes
You can spit in my face if you're so inclined
Baby, I don't mind, but please don't wear those shoes

Oh no, don't wear those shoes
I said, oh no, oh no
Oh no, please don't wear those...

Use my razor to shave your legs or eat crackers in bed
Stomp the poodle till it's flat
You could even shove a six-inch railroad spike through my head
I could learn to live with that

But now I'm begging you down on my bended knees
Oh honey, please don't wear those shoes
You can whip me, beat me, rob me blind
Baby I don't mind, but please don't wear those...

I said, oh no, oh no, oh no, don't wear those shoes
I said, oh no, oh no, oh no, don't wear those shoes

You can scratch up my records, you can drink my booze
But baby, please don't wear those shoes
You can make me an offer I can't refuse
But darling, please don't wear those shoes
You can play your bongos while I'm trying to snooze
But honey, please don't wear those shoes
You can expose yourself on the six o'clock news
But please, please don't wear those shoes

Toothless People

They only show you their gums when they smile
Ain't got a tooth in their headsnow...how vile
Only can eat things like pudding and applesauce
They never have to buy toothpicks or dental floss

Hey!  Stand up!
Toothless people...their breath is lethal, wanna tell you
Hey...come on!  Stand up...get on your feet!
Toothless people...old and feeble, what I say

No more of those pearly whites will they possess
Their oral hygiene is frightful...a mess
Lots of 'em suffering from trench mouth and gum disease
At least they don't have to worry 'bout cavities

Hey!  Stand up...take out your teeth!
Toothless people...old and feeble, oh yes

You can brush 'em, you can floss 'em
They're something you just can't ignore
If you lose 'em, you're in trouble
'Cause the tooth fairy won't come no more
You need something to show your dentist
The next time he makes you say "ahh..."
You don't wanna have to wind up
Eating all of your food through a straw

Like toothless people
Toothless people...you'd better brush your teeth now
Hey...toothless, toothless, toothless, toothless people

Good Enough for Now

Oh, I couldn't live a single day without you
Actually, on second thought, well, I suppose I could
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, honey, you're the greatest
Well, at any rate, I guess you're...pretty good

Now, it seems to me I'm relatively lucky
I know I probably couldn't ask for too much more
I honestly can say you're an above-average lady
You're almost just what I've been looking for

You're sort of everything I've ever wanted
You're not perfect, but I love you anyhow
You're the woman that I've always dreamed of
Well, not really...but you're good enough for now

You're pretty close to what I've always hoped for
That's why my love for you is fairly strong
And I swear I'm never gonna leave you, darlin'
At least 'til something better comes along

'Cause you're sort of everything I've ever wanted
You're not perfect, but I love you anyhow
You're the woman that I've always dreamed of
Well, not really...but you're good enough for now
No, not really...but you're good enough for now

Christmas at Ground Zero

It's Christmas at Ground Zero
There's music in the air
The sleigh bells are ringin' and the carolers are singin'
While the air raid sirens blare

It's Christmas at Ground Zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That "This is not a test..."

Everywhere the atom bombs are droppin'
It's the end of all humanity
No more time for last minute shoppin'
It's time to face your final destiny

Well, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
There's panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath a mushroom cloud

You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone's climbin' down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill

Oh, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
And if the radiation level's okay
I'll go out with you and see the all new
Mutations on New Year's Day

It's Christmas at Ground Zero
Just secondsleft to go
I'll duck and cover with my yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
Now the missles are on their way
What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday
What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday

@SONG: Smells Like Nirvana
(Kurt Cobain/Nirvana/Al Yankovic)

What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Dnn't know, don't know, don't know

CHORUS
Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy this oughtta bug your parents
Yeah

It's unintelligibale
I just can't get it through  my skull
It's hard bargle nawdle zouss(?)
With all these marbles in my mouth
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know...

CHORUS
Well we don't sound like Madonna
Here we aare now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah

And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet's so hard to find
What are the words? Oh, nevermind
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know don't know...

CHORUS
Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'
But I don't know what I'm sayin'
What's the message I'm conveyin'?
Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
So have you got some idea?
Didin't think so-Well, I'll see ya
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, adinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaah!

@SONG: Trigger Happy
(Al Yankovic)

Got an AK-47, well you know it makes me feel all  right
Got an Uzi by my pillow, helps me sleep a little better
At night
There's no feeling any greater
Than to shoot first and ask q questions later
Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day

Well you can't take my guns away, I got a
Constitutional right
Yeah, I gotta be ready if the commies attack us tonight
I'll blow their brains out with my Smith and Wesson
That out to teach 'em all a darn good lesson
Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day

CHORUS
Oh yeah, I'm trigger, trigger happy
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm) trigger, trigger happy
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh, I'm so) trigger, trigger happy
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have
To blow you away

Oh, I accidentally shot Daddy last night in the den
I mistook him in the dark for a drug-crazed Nazi again
Now why'd you have to get so mad?
It's just a lousy flesh wound, Dad
You know I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day

Oh, I  still haven't figured out the safety on my rifle yet
Little Fluffy tooka round, better take him to the vet
I filled that kitty cat so full of lead
We'll have to use him for a pencil instead
Well, I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day

CHORUS

Come on and grab your ammo
What have you got to lose?
We'll all get liquored up
And shoot at anything that moves

Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight
Oh, I'm prain' somebody tries to break in here tonight
I alwaays keep a Magnum in my trunk
You better ask yourself, do you feel lucky, punk?
Because I'm trigger happy,  trigger happy every day

CHORUS

@SONG: I Can't Watch This
(James/Miller/Hammer/Al Yankovic)

I can't watch this. I can't watch this
I can't watch this. I can't watch this

My my my my TV makes me so bored
Makes me say oh my Lord
What is this garbage here?
Wanna cover my eyes and plug my ears
It sucks, and that's no lie
It's about as much fun as watching paint dry
Lowers my IQ one notch
And that's the reason why, uh, I can't watch

I told you homeboy...I can't watch this
Yeah, nothin' but trash and you know
I can't watch this
Poke out my eyes, man...I can't watch this
Yo, gimme that remote control...I can't watch this

Talkin' bout sick shows
There's America's Funniest Home Videos
I can't believe my eyes
When I see the kind of stuff that wins first prize
Somebody's poor old mom
Falls down off the roof, lands right on  the lawn
Face first on a rake
I hear they got it on the seventeenth take
That's funny as a kick in the crotch
And that kinda show, uh, I can't watch

Yo, I told you...I can't watch this
Change the channel now, man...I can't watch this
Yo, pass the TV Guide over here, sucker...I can't watch this

Cosby show and Roseanne
Think I've taken 'bout as much as I can
JUdge Wopner, oh my
You gotta be Rainman to like this guy
Thirtysomething's all right
If you like hearing yuppies whining all night
Can't  stand Twin Peaks
Wish they'd lynch those donut-eatin' freaks
Those Siskel and Ebert bums
Oughtta go home and just sit on their thumbs

That's word because you now...I can't watch this
I can't watch this
Break it down!

Here's how to order money back guarantee
Removes tough stains fast it tastes more like fresh
Peanuts they keep going and going don't hate me
Because I'm beautiful could be dandruff our prices
Are insaaaane!!!

Stop! Prime time!
I'm pretty sure I'll be sick
If I have to watch another stupid pet trick
Or that guy with the real flat hair
That goes "woof woof woof" and waves
His fist in the air
Or those weird talk shows
About transsexual Nazi Eskimos
They're rude, and crude and vile
Just for a minute let's flip down the dial

Flip, flip, flip...yecch, I can't watch this
Look, man, I can't watch this
I can't take this torture no more, I can't
I can't watch this
Pay the bills, station break
Break it down!

Operators are standing by cubic zirconium
Necklace you're soaking in it and our fabulous
Swimsuit issue when you've got a headache this
Big read the book this is your brain on drugs I've
Fallen and I can't get up!!!

Stop! Cable time!
HBO and Playboy, Showtime and MTV
I might like them more after my lobotomy
Now why did I ever pay for this junk?
I hooked up eighty channels, and each one stunk
Just brainless blood and guts, and mindless T & A
It's awful, it's putrid, it's crummy, it's stupid, gonna
Throw my set away

I can't watch this, I can't watch this
I can't watch this, yeah...I can't watch this
I told you...can't watch this
Too hip, can't watch this
Get me outta here...can't watch this

Hey!

Pump up the jam (hey!) Pump up the jam (hey!)
Pump up the jam, pump it up!

That's me in the coner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religions
Trying to keep a view
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

The things you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things you say
You're unbelievable
(Oh!)

You can do me in the morning, you can
Do me in  the night
You can do me when you wanna do me

Put a smile on yorur face ten miles wide
Look so good, make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie-yi-yi

When I think about you I touch myself
Oh, I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

He's the one that makes you feel all right
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein

Check out the beat while the DJ revolves it
Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby...Word to your mother!
Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby, forever
I'll be your ice...ice...baby!
Hey!

@SONG: I Was Only Kidding
(Al Yankovic)

When I said I'd be faithful
When I promised I'd be true
When I swore that I could never
Be with anyone but you
When I told you that I loved you
With those tender words I spoke
I was only kidding
Now, can't you take a joke?

When I said that I need you, baby
When I told you I really care
When I said that I can't live without you
When I said I'd follow you anywhere
When I said you could always trust me
When I said I'd never leave you flat
Well, gues what? I was only kidding, baby
I can('t belieeeeeve you fell for that! You're so gullible...

CHORUS
(I was only kidding)  I was only kidding
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
I was only kidding
Now I'm sorry if you misunderstood, but the fact remains
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
Well I guess I got you pretty good, now listen

When I said that I love you baby
>From the very bottom of my heart
When I said that I miss you so baby
Every second that we're apart
When I sore that you're just getting more and more
Beautiful every day
Well, I was only kidding, honey
Whaat's that matter with you anyway?
Let me tell you something

CHORUS+
Well I guess it probably  hurts you a bit,
But you gotta know
I really love you...NOT!

When I said you oughtta marry me
When I said that we should settle down
Well, I was pullin' your leg there, honey
I was just foolin' around
You see, I-I never meant to upset you, darlin'
I never meant to hurt anyone
I was only kidding, baby
Why don't you just put down that gun?
Let's talk this over

CHORUS+

Watch where you're pointing that thing!
Hey, I'm sorry if your heart is broke
You gotta realize

CHORUS
------------------------------------------------------

@SONG: The White Stuff
(M. Starr/Al Yankovic)

The white stuff...the white stuff

The first one was a sweet one
Second one was a  blast
Soon I finished off the bag, ate 'em up real fast
You can see 'em in my teeth
Tell it when I talk
Had so many my pancreas just went into shock

CHORUS
I love the white stuff baby
In the middle of an Oreo
I love the white stuff baby
It's the most delicious thing I know

I've had a zillion or two
In my life, they're so right
My teeth are all rotted clear thruough
But who cares? Whaat else am I supposed to do?

CHORUS 2
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh Oreo
Oh oh oh oh oh, the white stuff
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh Oreo
What's in the middle? The white stuff

The first time that I tried it
Got a big sugar buzz
Nothing ets me high as that sandwich cookie does
But I love the filling most
I rub it on my roast
Mix it in with my coffee and spread it on my toast

CHORUS

Might get a pimple or two
Well, so what? It's all right
Now Twinkies and Ding Dongs won't do
All I need...You know what it is

CHORUS 2
-------------------------------------------------------

@SONG: When I Was Your Age
(Al Yankovic)

Let me tell you, sonny...let me set you straight
You kids today ain't never had it rough
Always had everything handed to you on a silver plate
You lazy  brats think nothng's good enough

Well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was
Ninety degrees below
We had to walk butt naked through forty miles of snow
Worked in the coal mine twenty two hours a day for
Just half a cent
Had to sell my internal organs just to pay the rent

CHORUS
When I was your age. When I was your age
When I was your age. When I was your age

Let me tell you something, you whiny little snot
There's somethng wrong with all you kids today
You just don't appreciate all the things you've got
We were hungry, broke and miserable and we liked it
Fine that way

There were seventy three of us living in a cardboard box
All I got for Christmas was a lousy bag of rocks
Every night for dinner we had a big chunk of dirt
If we were really good we didn't get dessert

CHORUS

Didn't have no telephone didn't have no FAX machine
All we had was a couple of cans and a crummy piece of string
Didn't have no swimming pool when I was just a lad
Our neighbor's septic tank was the closest thing we had
Didn't have no dental floss had to use old rusty nails
Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails
Didn't have no water bed, had to sleep on broken glass
Didn't have no lawnmower, we used our teeth to cut the grass

What's the matter now, sonny, you say you don't
Believe this junk?
You think my story's wearin' kinda thin?
I tell you one thing, I never was such a disrespectful punk
Back in my time, we had a thing called discipline

Dad would whoop us every night till a quarter after twelve
Then he'd get too tired and he'd make us whoop ourselves
Then he'd chop me into pieces and play frisbee with my brain
And let me tell ya, Junior, you never heard me complain

CHORUS
----------------------------------------------------------------

@SONG: Taco Grande
(G. Mejia/C. C. Warren/Al Yankovic)

Taco...grande Taco...grande

Yo quero chimichangas y chile colorado
Yo tengo el dinero para un steak picado
Las flautas y tamale, siempre muy bueno
Y el chile relleno

You see, I just gotta have a tostada, carne asada
That's right, I want the whole enchilada
My only addiction has to do with flour tortilla
I need a quesadilla

I  love to stuff my face with  tacos al carbon
With my friends or when I'm all alone
Yo tengo mucho hambre y ahora lo quiero
Un burrito ranchero

So give me something spicy and hot now
Break out the menu, what you go, now?
Oh, would you tell the waiter I'd like to have
Sour cream on the side
You better make sure the beans are refried

Taco...grande Taco...grande

Well there's not a taco big enough for a man like me
That's why I order two or three
Let me give you a tip, just try a nacho chip
It's really good  with bean dip

I eat uno, dos, tres, quatro burritos
Pretty soon I can't fit in my Speedos
Well, I hope they feed us lots of chicken fajitas
And a pitcher of margaritas

Well the combination plates al come with beans and rice
The taquitos here are very nice
Now I'm down on my knees, we need some extra
Tomatoes and cheese
And could you make that separate checks, please?

Taco...grande  Taco...grande

Well the food is coming I can hardly wait
Now watch your fingers, careful hot plate!
What you think you're doing with my chili con queso?
Well, if you want some, just say so

Oh boy, pico de gallo
They sure don't make it like this in Ohio
No  gracias, yo quiero jalapenos, nada mas
You can toss away the hot sauce

Donde estan los nachos? Holy frijole!
You better get me a bowl of guacamole
Y usted, Eugene? Wh's your face turning green?
Don't you like pinto beans?

You want some more cinnamon crispas?
If you don't, hasta la vista
Just take the rest home in a doggie bag if you wanna
You can finish it manana

Well, it's been a pleasure, I can't eat no more
Senor, la cuenta, por favor
If you ain't ever tried real Mexican cooking, well, you
Oughtta
Just don't drink the water

Taco...grande
Taco...grande
Taco...grande
Taco...grande

@SONG: Airline Amy
(Al Yankovic)

Met this pretty young stewardess on a non-stop flight
She showed me to my seat and it was love at first sight
Now lately I've been flying to all kinds of places
That I never really wanted to go
'Cause I'll do anything just to spend a little time
With the cutest flight attendant I know

CHORUS
You set my ever-lovin' heart on fire, Airline Amy
Tell me I'm your favorite frequent flier, Airline Amy
Found a little piece of heaven on a 747
And no one else can take me higher than Airline Amy

Every one of our dates is at thirty thousand feet
She always points out the exits to me, she's so sweet
You know she gets me my headphones for free
Refills my coffee cup whenever I  ask
And you gotta admit my baby looks pretty hot
When she ain't wearin' that oxygen mask

CHORUS

amy, darlin', don't you know, you really drive me nuts
Every time you're handing out those honey roasted peanuts
Airline Amy, this is my new mission
Gotta get you in an upright locked position

CHORUS

@SONG: The Plumbing Song
(F. Farian/B. Nail/D. Warren/A. Yankovic)

Baby, I sure wish I could lend you a hand
But plumbing's one thing I don't understand
It's true (haven't got a clue)
B-b-b-baby, I can tell you've got a big problem
When I flush  the john, then your shower goes on
(Baby) Now watcha gonna do?
If Drano's a joke and your plunger is broke
Baby, call the mensch with the monkey wrench
(Baby) He'll be there for you

Shower's backing up (up, up)?
Water won't go down (down, down)?
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba baby
Don't forget my plumber
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba baby
Sink's been plugged up all summer
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba baby
Better call the plumber
He'll know what to do

Pipes been blowing up
Pipes been breaking down
And the carpet's soaked...right through
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba kitchen's flooded, too
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, girl, you know it's true

B-b-b-betchat this guy makes more than my lawyer
If he works for one day, costs you half a year's pay
(Baby) He can be here by 2:00
So if you've got cash, he'll be there in a flash
Makin' service calls in  his overalls
(Baby) He'll do his best for you

Sewer's backing up (up, up)?
Got you feelin' down (down, down)?
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba baby
Don't forget my plumber
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba baby
Leaky pipes are a bummer
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba baby
Time to call the plumber
Maybe call a few

Gota problem with plumbing?
Gotta blame it on something
Blame it on the drain that was cloggin', cloggin'
Blame it on the faucet that drips all night
If hairballs, grease a goo
Won't let the water through
Blame it on the drain, yeah, yeah

When I flush the john, now when I flush the john
It turns the shower on
(Roto-Rooter 6-5000)
Ba ba ba ba baby
Baby call my plumber
He'll know what to do

@SONG: You Don't Love Me Anymore
(Al Yankovic)

We've been together r for so long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the brakes on my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down the elevator shaft

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometimes I get to thinking you don't love me anymore

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my  heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

Oh, you think I'm ugly and you say I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hol in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don't love me
Anymore, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

@SONG: Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies

Beverly.
Beverly Hillbillies.

Now, looka here, people, listen to my story,
A little story 'bout a man named Jed.
You know somethin', that poor mountaineer,
They say he barely kept his family fed.
Now lemme tell ya, one day he was shootin'.
Ol' Jed was shootin' at some food.
When all of a sudden, right up from the ground there,
Well, there came a bubblin' crude.

Oil, that is.  Well, maybe you call it
Black gold or Texas tea.
He gonna move next to Mr. Drysdale,
And be a Beverly Hillbilly.

Before you know it, all the kinfolk are a-sayin',
Yeah, Buddy, move away from there.
That litle Clampett got his own cee-ment pond.
That little Clampett, he's a millionaire.

Now everyone said Californy
Is the place that you oughta be.
We got to load up this here truck now.
We got to move to Beverly.
Hills, that is.
Swimmin' pools,
Move-a-move-a-movie stars.
Huh, looka that looka that.

Y'all come back now, hear?

@SONG: Gandhi II

Next week, on U-62, he's back!  And this time, he's mad.
Gandhi II!
No more Mr. Passive Resistance.  He's out to kick some butt.
This is one bad mother.  You don't want to mess with him.
"Don't move, slimeball."
He's a one-man wrecking crew.  But he also knows how to party.
"Gimme a stick.  Gimme a rare."
There is only one law--his law.
Gandhi II!


@SONG: Attack Of The Radioactive Hamsters From A Planet Near Mars

They showed up on my doorstep
Just a couple weeks ago.
They looked so sweet and harmless.
Tell me, how was I to know?
They got a little too close to the microwave,
And then much to my surprise,
They grew to forty thousand times their original size.
They started mutatin' right before my eyes, oh my.

Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a planet near Mars.
A race from a distant place, they came in UFO's shaped just like Cuban cigars.
Man, oh man, you oughta hear 'em squeal.
Now the whole wide world is their exercise wheel.
Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a planet near Mars.

The president, he's in a panic.
The Pentagon, they're in shock.
There's a team of research scientists.
They got 'em workin' 'round the clock.
Now the National Guard is out in my backyard,
And the Marines will be comin' around.
I hope they get these lousy rodents out of my town,
'Cause the property values are goin' way down, now.

Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a planet near Mars.
They're back and they're lookin' for a snack,
   and they're not that fond of Burger Kings or salad bars.
I hope they're not plannin' to stay.
Who invited them here anyway?
Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a planet near Mars.

Well well, look at that hamster, he's as big as a blimp,
And there's one the size of Central Park.
They're usin' telephone poles to pick their teeth.
They're evil and nasty, and they glow in the dark.
Well don't waste any more of your bullets, boys.
You know it just makes 'em mad when you shoot.
They're gonna stomp us into jelly, and conquer the world.
But you gotta admit, they're really kinda cute now.

Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a planet near Mars.
What a racket they're makin', Jack,
   they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars.
Listen to 'em squeal.
They think the whole stinkin' world is their exercise wheel.
Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a planet near Mars.
Hey, Jack, you better watch your back,
   here come those Hamsters from a planet near Mars.

Well, well, it's called the
Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters
>From a planet,
A planet near Mars.


@SONG: Isle Thing

Met this fine young thing at the local Circle K.
She made a date for a half past eight, and I said, "What the hey."
So I journeyed to her crib, and I let myself inside.
That chick was slouched down on the couch.  I think her brain was fried.
Couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't even look at me.
Then I saw her eyes, she was hypnotized.  Cold glued to her TV.
Said, "What's your problem, baby doll?  Let's have a little fling."
She said, "Hey, you fool, now just be cool.
I'm watchin' that Gilligan's Isle Thing."

Isle Thing.
Isle Thing.

Watchin' all night.  Must've been a marathon.
I was bummin', those shows kept comin'.  Here's what was goin' on.
These castaways were stranded on this island out at sea.
One of 'em called Gilligan said, "Let's name it after me!"
He'd mess up every rescue.  Man, that first mate was illin'.
If I was one of them castaways, I think I'd probably kill him.
Just about that time, the telephone began to ring.
She said, "Just let it, my machine'll get it.
We're watchin' the Gilligan's Isle Thing."

Isle Thing.
She loves that Gilligan's Isle Thing.
Isle Thing.
Please, baby baby, please.

I liked the professor.  He always saved their butts.
He could build a nuclear reactor from a couple of coconuts.
She said, "That guy's a genius."  I shook my head and laughed.
I said, "If he's so fly, then tell me why he couldn't build a lousy raft?

And while we're on the subject, I'll tell you one thing for sure.
Those homeboys brought an awful lot for just a three-hour tour."
Then her mom came in the room.  It was kind of embarrassing.
She said, "Hey, you two, I was once like you,
And I love that Gilligan's Isle Thing."

Isle Thing.
She'd watch that Gilligan's Isle Thing.
Please, baby baby, please.

Skipper's in a hammock.  He's lookin' kinda fat.
He'd throw a fit and then he'd hit ol' Gilligan with his hat.
Mrs. Howell got it goin' on, but Mr. Howell was meaner.
Ginger and Mary Ann could've used some funky cold medina.
I was really diggin' this show.  I didn't know what to do.
It kinda looked like I was hooked.  Now I'm an addict too.
I know each episode by heart.  Now I'm the Rerun King.
And on every date we both say up late,
And watch the Gilligan's Isle Thing.

Isle Thing.
Hasta la vista, Little Buddy.
Gilligan's Isle Thing.


@SONG: The Hot Rocks Polka

If I could stick my hand in my heart,
Spill it all over the stage,
Would it satisfy you, would it slide on by you,
Would you think the boy is strange?
Ain't it stra-a-ange,
If I could win, if I could sing
A love song so divine,
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried?
If I cri-i-ied?
I said ah, no, it's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it.
Ah, no, it's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it, like it, yes I do.
I really really really really do do do do do, hey!

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in New Orleans.
Scarred old slaver, know he's doing all right.
Hear him with the women just around midnight.
Brown sugar!
How come you taste so good?
Brown sugar!
Just like a young girl should.

I saw her today at the reception.
A glass of wine in her hand.
I knew she would meet her connection.
At her feet was a footloose man.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometimes, you might find
You get what you need.

You need honky tonk women.
Gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk blues.

Under my thumb, the girl who once had me down.
Under my thumb, the girl who once pushed me around.
It's down to me, yes it is.
The way she talks when she's spoken to.
Down to me, the change has come, she's under my thumb.

So goodbye, Ruby Tuesday.
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day.
Still, I'm gonna miss you.

Hoo-oo hoo-oo hoo-oo, hoo-oo hoo-oo hoo-oo, hoo-oo hoo-oo.
Hoo-oo hoo-oo hoo-oo, hoo-oo hoo-oo hoo-oo, hoo-oo hoo-oo.

Please allow me to introduce myself.
I'm a man of wealth and taste.
I've been around for a long, long year,
Stole many a man's soul and faith.
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name,
'Cause what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.

I said hey (hey) you (you) get off of my cloud.
Hey (hey) you (you) get off of my cloud.
Hey (hey) you (you) get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around, 'cause two's a crowd.
(Shadoobie, shattered.)
(Shadoobie, shattered.)
Laughter, joy and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex.
Look at me,
I'm in tatters.
(Shadoobie, shattered.)
I'm shattered,
(Shadoobie, shattered.)

This doesn't happen to me every day, wo my.
(Let's spend the night together)
No excuses offered anyway, oh my.
(Let's spend the night together)
I'll satisfy your every need.
(Every need)
And now I know you'll satisfy me.
My my my my my my my my my.

Let's spend the night together.
Now I need you more than ever.
Let's spend the night together.
Now.

I can't get no satisfaction.
I can't get no girly action,
'Cause I've tried (and I've tried) and I've tried (and I've tried)
And I've tried (and I've tried) and I've tried (and I've tried)
I can't get no
I can't get no
I...can't...get...no...
Satisfaction.
Satisfaction.

@SONG: She Drives Like Crazy

Where'd you learn how to steer?
You do eighty in second gear.
When you drive, I can't relax.
Got your license from Cracker Jacks.
You just hit another tree.
These fender benders are killin' me.

   She drives like crazy.
   Like no one else.
   She drives like crazy.
   And I'm afraid for myself.

They'll put you behind bars.
We're not playin' bumper cars.
Did a great figure eight
In the middle of the Interstate.
Tires squeal wherever we go.
Even hitchhikers just say no.

   She drives like crazy.
   Her car's a mess.
   She drives like crazy.
   She's got a death wish, I guess.

She's a demon behind the wheel.
Thinks she's drivin' the Batmobile.
Burnin' rubber in school zones.
Runnin' over traffic cones.
Passin' semis on the right.
Now my knuckles are turnin' white.

   She drives like crazy.
   She'll break our necks.
   She drives like crazy.
   She always gets into wrecks.

   She drives like crazy.
   Like no one else.
   She drives like crazy.
   Now I'm afraid for myself.


@SONG: Generic Blues

I woke up this mornin',
Then I went back to bed.
Said I woke up this mornin',
Then I went right back to bed.
Got a funny kinda feelin',
Like I got broken glass in my underwear,
And a herd of wild pigs is tryin' to chew off my head.
You know what I'm sayin'?

Well, I ain't got no money,
I'm just walkin' down the road.
Said I ain't got no money, honey,
So I'm just walkin' down this lonely old road.
Well, I wish I could get me some money,
But I forgot my automated teller code.

I was born in a paper sack, in the bottom of a sewer.
I had to eat dirt clods for breakfast, my family was so poor,
My daddy was a waitress, my mama sold bathroom tile.
My brothers and sisters all hated me,'cause I was an only child.
I got the blues so bad.
Kinda wish I was dead.
Maybe I'll blow my brains out, mama.
Or maybe I'll, yeah, maybe I'll just go bowlin' instead.

I'm just a no-good, scum-sucking, nose-picking, boot-licking,
   snivelling, grovelling worthless hunk of slime.
Nothin' but a low-down, beer-bellied, bone-headed, pigeon-toed,
   turkey-necked, weasel-faced worthless hunk of slime.
I guess I've got a pretty low self-image,
   maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something.
I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time.

Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk.

Okay, now make it shut up.

Plagues and famine and pestilence always seem to get me down.
I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around.
I wish somebody would come along, stick a pitchfork through my brain.
I'd flush myself right down the toilet, but I'd just clog up the drain.
I got the blues so bad,
Kinda wish I was dead.
Maybe I'll blow my brains out, mama,
Or maybe I'll go bowling.
Or I just might go bowling.
Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling.
Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament,
   put on a stupid-lookin' shirt and go bowling,
Instead.

@SONG: Spam

Spam in the place where I live. (ham and pork)
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now. (oh boy)
Spam in my lunchbox at work. (it's the best)
Really makes a darn good sandwich, any way you slice it at all.

If you're running low, go to the store.
Carry some money to help you buy more.
The tab is there to open the can.
The can is there to hold in the spam.

Oh, spam on the table at home. (ham and pork)
Think about selection, are there different flavors now. (let's eat)
Spam in my office at work. (it's the best)
Think about the stuff it's made from, wonder if it's mystery meat.

If you need a spoon, keep one around.
Carry a thermos to help wash it down.
Now if there's some left, don't just throw it out.
Use it for spackle or bathroom grout, now.

Spam in my pantry at home. (have some more)
Think of expiration, better read the label now. (oh boy)
Spam breakfast, dinner or lunch. (it's the best)
Think about how it's been pre-cooked, wonder if I'll just eat it cold.

Now once you start in, you can't put it down.
Don't leave it sitting or it'll turn brown.
The key is going to open the tin.
The tin is there to keep the spam in.

Oh spam, spam. (ham and pork)
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now. (oh boy)
Spam, spam. (it's the best)
Really makes a darn good sandwich any way you slice it.
Spam in the place where I live. (have some more)
Think about addiction, wonder if I'm a junkie now. (let's eat)
Spam in the place where I work. (you're obsessed)
Think about the way it's processed, wonder if it's some kind of meat.
Spam in the back of my car. (ham and pork)
The tab is there to open the can. (spam any place that you are)
The can is there to open the spam. (spam any place that you are)
Oh spam.


@SONG: The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

Well, I had two weeks of vacation time coming.
After workin' all year down at Big Boy's Heating and Plumbing.
So one night, when my family and I were gathered
   'round the dinner table, I said,
"Kids...
If you could go anywhere in this great big world, now
Where'd you like to go to?"
They said, "Dad...
We wanna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota."
They picked the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.

So the very next day we loaded up the car
With potato skins and pickled weiners,
Crossword puzzles, Spiderman comics and mama's homemade rhubarb pie,
Pulled out of the driveway, and the neighbors, they all waved goodby.
And so began our three-day journey.
We picked up a guy holdin' a sign that said "Twine Ball or Bust."
He smelled real bad, and he said his name was Bernie.
I put in a Slim Whitman tape, my wife put on a brand new hair net.
Kids were in the back seat jumpin' up and down, yellin' "Are we there yet?"
And all of us were joined together in one common thought,
As we rolled down the long and winding Interstate in our '53 DeSoto.
We're gonna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
We're headin' for the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.

Oh, we couldn't wait to get there, so we drove straight through for
   three whole days and nights.
Of course, we stopped for more pickled weiners now and then.
The scenery was just so pretty,
Boy, I wish the kids could've seen it.
But you can't see out of the side of the car because the windows are
   completely covered with the decals from all the places where we've
   already been.
Like Elvis-a-Rama, the Tupperware Museum,
The Boll Weevil Monument, and Cranberry World,
The Shuffleboard Hall of Fame, Poodle Dog Rock,
And the Mecca of Albino Squirrels.
We've been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums,
And a place where you can drive through the middle of a tree.
Seen alligator farms and tarantula ranches,
But there's still one thing we've gotta see.
Well, we crossed the state line about 6:39,
And we saw the sign that said, "Twine Ball Exit - fifty miles."
Oh, the kids were so happy, they started singing "99 Bottles of Beer
   on the Wall" for the twenty-seventh time that day.
So we pulled off the road at the last chance gas station,
Got a few more pickled weiners and a diet chocolate soda,
On our way to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
We're gonna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.

Finally at 7:37 early Wednesday evening, as the sun was setting
   in the Minnesota sky,
Out in the distance, on the horizon it appeared to me like a vision
   before my unbelieving eyes.
We parked the car and walked with awe-filled reverence toward that
   glorious, huge, majestic sphere.
I was just so overwhelmed by its sheer immensity,
   I had to pop myself a beer.
Yes, on these hallowed grounds, open 10 to 8 on weekdays,
   in a little shrine under a makeshift pagoda,
There sits the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
I tell you, it's the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.

Ohhh, what on Earth would make a man decide to do that kind of thing.
Ohhh, windin' up 21,140 pounds of string.
What was he tryin' to prove?
Who was he tryin' to impress?
Why did he build it?  How did he do it?
It's anybody's guess.
Where did he get the twine?
What was goin' through his mind?
Did it just seem like a good idea at the time?

Well, we walked up beside it, and I warned the kids,
"Now you better not touch it, those ropes are there for a reason."
I said, "Maybe if you're good, I'll tie it to the back of our car,
   and we can take it home."  But I was only teasin'.
Then we went to the gift shop and stood in line.
Bought a souvenir miniature ball of twine,
Some window decals, and anything else they'd sell us.
And I bought a couple postcards: "Greetings from the Twine Ball,
   wish you were here."  Won't the folks back home be jealous.
I gave our camera to Bernie, and we stood by the ball,
And we all gathered around and said, "Cheese."
Then Bernie ran away with my brand new Instamatic,
But at least we've got our memories.
So we all just stared at the ball for awhile,
And my eyes got moist, but I said with a smile,
"Kids, this here's what America's all about."
Then I started feelin' kinda gooey inside,
And I fell on my knees and I cried and cried.
And that's when those security guards threw us out.
You know, I bet if we unravelled that sucker,
   it'd roll all the way down to Fargo, North Dakota,
'Cause it's the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
I'm talkin' 'bout the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.

Well, we stayed that night at the Twine Ball Inn.
   In the morning we were on our way home again.
   But we really didn't wanna leave, that was perfectly clear.
I said, "Folks, I can tell you're all sad to go."
   Then I winked my eye and I said, "You know,
   I got a funny kinda feeling we'll be coming back again next year."
'Cause I've been all around this great big world,
   and I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather go to
Than the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
I said the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
Minnesota.
Minnesota.
Minnesota.

    There's a pale moon in the sky
    the kind you make your wishes on.
    Or, like the light of your eyes
    the one I built my dreams upon.
    It's not there any longer.
    Something happens somewhere and we both know why.
    But me getting stronger.
    We must stop pretending
    I can't live this lie.
    
    I don't care who's wrong or right
    I don't really want to fight no more.
    (Too much talking baby)
    Can't sleep on in the night
    I don't really want to fight no more.
    Because it's time for letting go.
    
    I hear a whispering her
    simply doesn't bother me.
    Can't you see that I don't care
    or are you looking right thru me.
    
    It seems to me that lately
    you look at me the wrong way and I start to cry.
    Could it be that maybe
    this crazy situation is the reason why.
    
    I don't care who's wrong or right

    Don't care now who's to blame
    I don't really want to fight no more.
    Because it's time for letting go.
    
    Hanging on to the past
    it only stands in our way.
    We have to grow for love to last.
    But we just grew apart.
    Oh, I don't want to hurt no more.

    Through early morning fog I see
    Visions of the things to be
    The pains that are withheld for me
    I realize and I can see
    
    That suicide is painless
    It brings on many changes
    And I can take or leave it if I please
    
    I try to find a way to make
    All our little joys relate
    Without that ever-present hate
    But now I know that it's too late
    
    And suicide is painless
    It brings on many changes
    And I can take or leave it if I please
    
    The game of life is hard to play
    I'm going to lose it anyway
    The losing card I'll someday lay
    So this is all I have to say
    
    The only way to win is cheat
    And lay it down before I'm beat
    And to another give a seat
    For that's the only painless feat
    
    'Cause suicide is painless
    it brings on many changes
    And I can take or leave it if I please
    
    The sword of time will pierce our skins
    It doesn't hurt when it begins
    But as it works it's way on in
    The pain grows stronger ,
	watch it grin
    
    For suicide is painless
    it brings on many changes
    And I can take or leave it if I please
    
    A brave man once requested me
    To answer questions that are key
    "Is it to be or not to be"
    And I replied "Oh why ask me?"
    
    'Cause suicide is painless
    It brings on many changes
    And I can take or leave it if I please
    
    And you can do the same thing
    If      you       please

    Baby you can talk all night.
    But that ain't getting us no where.
    I've told you everything I possibly can.
    There's nothing left inside.
    
    And baby you can cry all night.
    But that will never change the way that I feel.
    The snow is really piling up outside.
    I wish you would've made it easy.
    
    I've poured it out and I poured it out.
    I tried to show you just how much I care.
    I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout.
    
    Treating me cold
    can be so wrong.
    I'm crying icicles instead of tears.
    
    And all I can do
    is keep on telling you
    I want you 
    I  need you
    there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
    now don't be sad.
    'Cause two out of three ain't bad.
    
    Now there's only one girl
    I will ever love
    and that was so many years ago.
    And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door.
    She packed her bags and turned right away.
    
    She kept on telling me
    she kept on telling me
    she kept on telling me
    I want you
    I need you
    there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you.
    Now don't be sad.

    ok.....here is a lot of lyrics....read them if you want...They express
    a lot of feelsing I have locked up in my system....If anybody says
    about how many I have will be dealt with in a horrible way!
    
		PINK FLOYD:
    
	BREATHE IN THE AIR
    
	Breathe, breathe in the air
	Don't be afraid to care
	Leave but don't leave me
	Look around and choose your own ground
	For long you live and high you fly
	And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
	And all you touch and all you see
	Is all your life will ever be
    
	Run rabbit run
	Dig that hole, forget the sun
	And when at the work is done
	Don't sit down it's time to start another one.
	For long you live and high you fly
	But only if you ride the tide
	And balanced on the biggest wave
	You race toward an early grave
    
  
	ECLIPSE
    
	All that you touch
	All that you see
	all that you taste
	all that you feel
	all that you love
	all that you hate
	all that you distrust
	all you save
	all that you give
	all that you buy
	beg, borrow or steal
	all that you create
	all that you destroy
	all that you do
	all that you say
	all that eat
	everyone you meet
	all that you is slight
	everyone you fight
	all that is now
	all that is gone
	all that's to come
	and everything under the sun is in tune
    
	But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
    
    
	LEARNING TO FLY
    
	Into the distance, a ribbon of black
	Streached to the point of no turning back
	A flight of fancy on a wind swept field
	Standing alone, my senses reeled
	A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how 
	can I escape this irresistable grasp?
    
    Chorus:
	Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
	Tongue-tied and twisted just and earth-bound misfit, I
    
	Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
	Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
	No navigator to guide my way home
	Unladened, empty and turned to stone
    
    Chorus:
	A soul in tension that's learning to fly
	Condition grounded but determined to try
	can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
	tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
    
	Above the planet on a wind of prayer
	My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
	Across the coulds I see my shadow fly
	Out of the corner of my watering eye
	a dream unthreatened by the morning light
	could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
    
    Chorus:
	There's no sensation to compare with this
	Suspended animation, a state of bliss

    Here's a continuation of the Floyd
    
	A NEW MACHINE
    
	I have always been here
	I have always look out from behind these eyes
	It feels like more than a lifetime
	Feel like more than a lifetime
    
	Sometimes I get tired of waiting
	Sometimes I get tired of being in here
	Is this the way it has always been?
	Could it have been different?
    
	Do you ever get tired of waiting?
    Do you ever get tired of being in there?
	Don't worry, Nobody lives forever
	Nobody lives forever
    
    --  
    
	I will always be here
	I will always look out from behind these eyes
	It's only a lifetime
	It's only a lifetime
	It's only a lifetime

    Here's some Queensryche-
    
	SCREAMING IN DIGITAL
    
	I am the beat of your pulse
	The computer word made flesh
	We are one you and I
	We are versions of the same
	When you can see what I feel
	Don't turn your back on me
	Or you might find that your dreams
	Are only program cards
    
	Your mind is open for me
	Open for intake of all propaganda
	Your eyes see now what to see
	My eyes see the only the programs you give me
    
	I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
	They're really the same you'll see
	All of the why's in your life
	Are under my control
	Feed me more lines
	I will try to tell you all I can
	Before the light you must know what lies
	Behind my scream
    
	I can't tell you all I know
	Am I the son that you've always been wanting?
	There's more to me than what shows
	Are you my father
	The one that was promised
    
	Hush now, I'll give all you need to know
	and pre-live your dreams for you
	You're a good boy
    
	Freedom belongs to only those
	Without video screens
	For eyes and mouth
    
	You have no voice
	To be heard my son
	No one can hear when you're 
	Screaming in digital
    
	I'm not your slave
	You can't control my emotions
	No father
	Please let me keep learning
	
	Can't you see I'm human?
	Can't you tell?
    
	I'm not your slave
	Oh father no
	Please don't keep me from dreaming
	Oh can't someone hear?

    ANYBODY LISTENING?
    
    you and I
    long to live like wind upon the water
    if we close our eyes, 
    We'll maybe realize
    There's more to life than what we have known
    And I can't belive I've spent so long
    Living lie I knew were wrong inside,
    I've just begun to see the light.
    Long ago there was a dream
    had to make a choice or two
    leaving all I loved behind
    For what nobody knew
    Stepped out on the stage, a life
    Under lights and judging eyes
    Now the applause has died and I
    can dream again.....
    Is there anybody listeneing?
    Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
    Read between the lines, 
    Criticize the words they're selling
    think for yourself and feel the walls
    become sand beneath your feet.
    
    Feel the breeze?
    Time's so near you can almost taste the freedom
    There's a warm wind from the south
    Hoist the sail and we'll be gone
    by morning, this will all seem like a dream
    And if I don't return to sing the song.
    Maybe just as well.
    I've seen the news and there's
    not much I can do.....alone
    Is there anybody listening?
    Is there anyone who smiles without a mask?
    What's behind the words- images
    They know will please us?
    I'll take what's real. Bring up the lights
    Is there anybody listening?
    Is there anyone that sees whats going on?
    Read between the lines, 
    Criticize the words they're selling
    Think for yourself and feel the walls....
    Become sand beneath your feet....

    IT'S PROBABLY ME  by: Sting
    
    If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
    And you hug yourself on the cold cold ground
    You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
    No one you would see
    You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
    My only friend, who could it be
    It's hard to say it
    I hate to say it, but it's probably me
    
    When your belly is empty and the hunger's so real
    And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
    You search the city for your only friend
    No one would see
    You ask yourself, who could it be
    A solitary to speak out and set you free
    I hate to say it
    I hate to say it, but it's probably me
    You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
    And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
    Some would say i should let you go your way
    You'll only make me cry
    If there's one guy, just one guy
    Who'd lay down his life for you and die
    It's hard to say it
    It's hard to say it, but it's probably me
    When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
    There's only one voice that comes to your defence
    The Jury's out and your eyes search the room
    And one friendly face is all you need to see
    If there's one guy, just one guy
    Who'd lay down his life for you and die
    It's hard to say it
    I hate to say it, but it's probably me
    It's hard to say it
    I hate to say it, but it's probably me

    MID-LIFE CRISIS  by: faith no more
    
    Go on and wring my neck
    Like when a reg gets wet
    A little Discipline
    For my pet genius
    My head is like lettuce
    Go on and dig your thumbs in
    I cannot stop giving
    I'm thirty-something
    
    Sense of security
    Like pockets jingling
    Midlife crisis
    Suck ingenuity
    Down through the family tree
    You're perfect, yes it's true
    But without me you're only you
    Your menstruating heart
    It ain't bleeding enough for two
    It's a midlife crisis
    
    What an inheritance
    The salt and the kleenex
    Morbid self attention
    Bending my pinky back
    A little disclipine
    A donor by habit
    a little disclipine
    rent an opinion
    
    Sense of security
    Holding blunt instrument
    I'm a perfectionist
    And perfect is a skinned knee
    You're perfect, yes, it's true
    But without me you're only you
    Your menstruating heart
    It ain't bleeding enough for two
    It's a midlife crisis

    RETURN TO SERENITY   By: Testament
    
    I'm gonna take you
    To a place far from here
    No one will see us
    Watch the pain as it disappears
    
    No time for anger
    No time for dispear
    Won't you come with me
    There's room for us there
    
    This innocnet beauty
    My word's can't describe
    This rebirth to purity 
    Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes
    
    No time for anger
    no time for dispear
    Please let me take you
    'cause I'm already there
    
    I'm so alone
    My head's my home
    I'll return to serenity
    
    Rhyme without reason
    Is why children cry
    They see through the system
    that's breeding them just so they die
    
    So please let me take you 
    And I'll show you the truth
    Inside my reality
    We shared in my youth
    
    I'm so alone
    My heads my home
    And I feel
    So alone
    you know
    At last 
    I return to serenity
    
    Now that I've taken you
    to a place far from here
    I really must go back
    Close your eyes and we'll disappear
    
    Won't you come with me
    Salvation we'll share
    Inside of my head now
    There's room for us there

@ALBUM: Dirt
Alice In Chains
 
@SONG: Them Bones
-----------------
I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile a them bones
 
Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene
I feel so alone, gonna wind up a
Big ole pile a them bones
 
Toll due bad dream come true
I lie dead gone under red sky
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile a them bones
 
@SONG: Dam That River
---------------------
I broke you in the canyon
I drowned you in the lake
You a snake that I would trample
Only thing I'd not embrace
 
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
 
I pushed and then you stumbled
I kicked you in the face
You stare at me so hollow
Got to keep that killin' pace
 
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
 
I burned the place around you
I hit you with a rake
You piss upon my candle
So proving you're a fake
 
@SONG: Rain When I Die
----------------------
Is she ready to know my frustration?
What she slippin' inside, slow castration
I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me
Did she come here to try, try to take me
 
Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die
 
Was it something I said, held against me?
Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
I can help her but won't, now she hates me
 
She won't let me hide
She don't want me to cry
 
Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me
Slowly forgive my lie, lying to save me
Could she love me again, or will she hate me
Prob'ly not, I know why, can't explain me
 
@SONG: Sickman
--------------
What the hell am I?
Thousand eyes, a fly
Lucky then I'd be
In one day deceased
 
Sickman, sickman, sickman
 
I can feel the wheel, but I can't steer
When my thoughts become my biggest fear
 
Ah, what's the difference, I'll die
In this sick world of mine
 
What the hell am I
Leper from inside
Inside wall of peace
Dirty and diseased
 
Sickman, sickman, sickman, sickman
 
I can see the end is getting near
I won't rest until my head is clear
 
Can you see the end?
Choke on me my friend
Must to drown these thoughts
Purity over rot
 
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of rape and despair
With head high and eyes alert
I tread on a plane of many
 
We who are of good nature and intention,
But cannot touch on the dark
Recesses of memory
And pain learned, so come walk
With me, feel the pain,
And release it
 
What the hell am I worn eroded pride
Saddened 10 mile wide
I'm gonna let it slide
 
Sickman, sickman, sickman, sickman
 
I can feel the wheel, but I can't steer
When my thoughts become my biggest fear
Ahh, etc., etc.
 
@SONG: Rooster
--------------
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere
 
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster
You know he ain't gonna die
 
Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through
 
@SONG: Junkhead
---------------
A good night, the best in a long time
A new friend turned me on to an old favorite
Nothing better than a dealer who's high
Be high, convince them to buy
 
What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot
 
Seems so sick to the hypocrite norm
Running their boring drills
But we are an elite race of our own
The stoners, junkies, and freaks
 
Are you happy? I am, man.
Content and fully aware
Money, status, nothing to me
'Cause your life is empty and bare
 
You can't understand a user's mind
But try, with your books and degrees
If you let yourself go and opened your mind
I'll bet you'd be doing like me
And it ain't so bad
 
Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!
 
@SONG: Dirt
-----------
I have never felt such frustration
Or lack of self control
I want you to kill me
And dig me under, I wanna live no more
 
One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me
For me
 
I want to taste dirty, stinging pistol
In my mouth, on my tongue
I want you to scrape me from the walls
And go crazy like you've made me
 
You, you are so special
You have the talent to 
Make me feel like dirt
And you, you use your
Talent to dig me under
And cover me with dirt
 
@SONG: God Smack
----------------
Care not for the men who wonder
Straw that broke your back, you're under
Cast all them aside who care
Empty eyes and dead end stare
 
Don't you know that none are blind
To the lie, and you think I don't find what you hide?
 
What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
 
For the horse you've grown much fonder
Than for me, that I don't ponder
As the hair of one who bit you
Smiling bite your own self, too
 
And I think that you're not blind
To the ones you left behind
I'll be here
 
So be yearning all your life
Twisting, turning like a knife
 
Now you know the reasons why
Can't get high, or you will die
Or you'll die
 
So your sickness weighs a ton
And God's name is smack for some
 
@SONG: Hate To Feel
-------------------
What's gone wrong, I can't see straight
Been too long, so full of hate
 
What the fuck will it take
Drown myself in my wake
Another shaggy D.A.
Now a dog, shake my leg
Plastic man, paper face
Candy heart, what a waste
Gotta change, set a date
 
Stare at me with empty eyes and
Point your words at me
Mirror on the wall will show you
What you're scared to see
 
I can see, yeah - (wish I couldn't see at all)
I can feel - (wish I couldn't feel at all)
Hate to see - (wish I couldn't see at all)
Hate to feel - (wish I couldn't feel at all)
 
So climb the walls,
Thin my blood now
And I crawl, back to bed now
 
What the hell, gotta rest
Aching pain in my chest
Lucky me, now I'm set
 
Little bug for a pet
New Orleans, gotta get
Pin cushion medicine
Used to be curious
Now the shit's sustenance
 
All this time I swore I'd never
Be like my old man
What the hay it's time to face
Exactly what I am
 
@SONG: Angry Chair
------------------
Sitting on an angry chair
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care
 
What do I see across the way
See myself molded in clay
Stares at me, yeah I'm afraid
Changing the shape of his face
 
Candles red I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
burning on the angry chair
 
Little boy made a mistake
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees, time to pray, boy
 
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah,
I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah
But I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere
I don't mind
 
Corporate prison, we stay
I'm a dull boy, work all da y
So I'm strung out anyway
 
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away
 
Saw my reflection and cried
So little hope that I died
Feed me your lies, open wide
Weight of my heart, not the size
 
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees time to pray
 
@SONG: Down In A Hole
---------------------
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb...in bloom
 
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they 
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who won't let himself be
 
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, losin' control
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
 
Down in a hole and they've put all 
The stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
of my feelings beneath
 
Oh I want to be inside of you
 
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, out of control
 
I'd like to fly but my 
Wings have been so denied
 
@SONG: Would?
-------------
Know me broken by my master
Teach thee on child of love hereafter
 
Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way
 
Drifting body it's sole desertion
Flying not yet quite the notion
 
Am I wrong?
Have I run too far to get home
Have I gone?
And left you here alone

    Words to I LOVE MY SHIRT, by Donovan:
    
    Do you have a shirt that you really love?
    One that you feel so groovy in.
    You don't even mind if it starts to fade.
    That only makes it nicer still.
    
    I love my shirt, I love my shirt.
    My shirt, it so comfortibly loves me.
    I love my shirt, I love my shirt.
    My shirt, it so comfortibly loves me.
    
    Do you have some jeans that you really love?
    Ones that you feel so groovy in.
    You don't even mind if they start to fray.
    That only makes them nicer still.
    
    I love my jeans, I love my jeans.
    My jeans, they so comfortibly love me.
    I love my jeans, I love my jeans.
    My jeans, they so comfortibly love me.
    
    When I take 'em to the cleaners.
    I can't wait to get 'em home again.
    Yes, I take 'em to the cleaners.
    I'd rather wash 'em in a stream.
    I'd rather wash 'em in a stream.
    Know what I mean?
    
    Do you some shoes that you really love?
    Ones that you feel so groovy in.
    You don't even care if they start to get some holes in.
    That only makes them nicer still.
    
    I love my shoes, I love my shoes.
    My shoes, they so comfortibly love me.
    I love my jeans, I love my jeans.
    My jeans, they so comfortibly love me.
    I love my shirt, I love my shirt.
    My shirt it so comfotibly loves me.
    
    I love my shirt, I love my shirt.
    My shirt, it so comfortibly loves me.

    If You Are Not Here
			By:
    
    
    Gotta catch the plane at seven thirty.
    Why haven't you come to say good-bye?
    Time is running out and I'm still waiting.
    I'm so lost without you I could die.
    
    Yesterday you said you loved me.
    Everything seemed to be find.
    Today you're not here, I'm so lonely.
    It's the waiting that's driving me out of my mind.
    
    Don't know how I'll sing in that big city.
    How can I preform if you're not there.
    This will be the worst of all my journeys.
    The image of your face will follow me everywhere.
    
    I need your tender kisses.
    The feel of your hands, your carress.
    You're perfume has me burning.
    My heart's yearning to touch you, I miss you so much.
    
    If you're not here.
    By my side.
    Can't hold back the tears.
    I've tried to hide.
    Don't think I can take it.
    I know I won't make it.
    Make it without you.
    If you're not here.
    By my side.
    Only your love
    keeps me alive.
    No sense in dreaming.
    My life has no meaning.
    If you're not here.
    
    
    (It's a cool song!  I love it!  Reminds me of my pet frog, who I
    dedicate this song to :)

    OK Here goes....
    
    "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That!)"
    --Meatloaf
    
    ...And I would do anything for love
    I'd run right into hell and back
    I would do anything for love
    I'd never lie to you and that's a fact
    I'll never forget the way you feel right now
    oh no
    no way
    And I would do anything for love
    Oh I would do anything for love
    I would do anything for love
    but I won't do that
    no I won't do that
    
    Somedays it don't come easy
    and somedays it don't come hard
    Somedays it don't come at all and these are the days that never end
    And some nights you're breathin fire
    And some nights you're carved in ice
    And some nights are like nothin I've ever seen before or will again
    Maybe I'm crazy and it's true
    I know you can save me noone else can save me now but you
    As long as the planets are turnin
    As long as the stars are burnin
    As long as your dreams are comin true
    you better believe it
    that I would do anything for love
    I'll be there till the final act
    And I would do anything for love
    And I'll take the vow and seal a pact
    I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way
    tonight
    I will do anything for love
    But I won't do that
    No I won't do that
    
    I will do anything for love
    Anything you've been dreamin of
    But I just won't do that..
    I will do anything for love
    Anything you've been dreaming of
    But I just won't do that
    
    And some days I pray for silence
    And some days I pray for a soul
    Some days I just pray to the god of
    sex and drums and rock and roll
    And maybe I'm lonely
    It's all a part of all of me
    There's only one and only promise I can keep
    As long as the wheels are turnin
    As long as the fires are burnin
    As long as your prayers are comin true
    You better believe it
    That I would do anything for love
    And you know it's true and that's a fact
    And I would do anything for love
    And there'll never be no turnin back
    But I'll never do it better than I do it with you
    so long
    so long
    And i would do anything for love
    oh I would do anything for love
    I would do anything for love 
    But I won't do that
    No I won't do....
    
    
    *Will you raise me up? 
    *Will you help me down?
    *Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town?
    *Will you make it all a little less cold?
    
    Oh I can do that.
    Oh I can do that...
    
    *Will you hold me close?
    *Will you hold me tight?
    *Can you colorize my life?.. I'm so sick of black and white!
    *Can you make it all a little less old?
    
    Oh I can do that.
    Oh I can do that...
    
    *Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
    *Will you hose me down with holy water if I get too hot?
    *Will you take me places I've never known?
    
    Oh I can do that.
    Oh I can do that...
    
    *I hold the terror till we've wrapped it around
    *Will it all turn to dust and we'll all fall down?
    *Sooner or later, you'll be screwin around...
    
    I won't do that.
    No I won't do that...
    Anything for love
    Oh I will do anything for love.
    I would do anything for love.
    
    But I won't do that.

    FAITH NO MORE!
    
    From Out of Nowhere
    -------------------
    Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
    You splash me with beauty and pull me down
    You come from out of nowhere
    My glance turns to a stare
    Obsession rules me--I'm yours from the start
    I know you see me--Our eyes interlock
    You come from out of nowhere
    My glance turns to a stare
    One minute here and one minute there
    Don't know if i'll laugh or cry
    One minute here and one minute there
    And then you swave good-bye...
    Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
    All energy funnels, all became you
    You came from out of nowhere
    My glance turns to a stare
    One minute here and one minute there
    Don't know if i'll laugh or cry
    One minute here and one minute there
    And it hurts inside
    One minute here and one minute there
    And then you wave goodbye...

    Epic
    ----
    Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
    If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
    You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
    And it feel so good it's like walking on glass
    It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
    It's so groovy, it's outta sight
    You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
    But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
    You want it all but you can't have it
    It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
    So you lay down on it and you do it some more
    You've got to share it, so you dare it
    Then you bare it and you tear it
    You want it all but you can't have it
    It's in your face but you can't grab it
    It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
    It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
    It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
    It's sad it happened and it's a shame
    You want it all but you can't have it
    It's in your face but you can't grab it
    What is it?
    It's it
    What is it?...

    Falling to Pieces
    -----------------
    Back and forth, I sway with the wind
    Resolution slips away again
    Right through my fingers back into my heart
    Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
    Sometimes I think I'm blind
    Or I may be just paralyzed
    Because the plot thickens every day
    And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away
    But I know, there's a picture beneath
    Indecision clouds my vision
    No one listens...
    Because I'm somewhere in between
    My love and my agony
    You see, I'm somewhere in between
    My life is falling to pieces
    Somebody put me together
    Laying face down onthe ground
    My fingers in my ears to block the sound
    My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight
    Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight
    Droplets of "yes" and "no" 
    In an ocean of "maybe"
    From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
    From the top, another downhill slope of mine
    But I know, the equilibrium's there
    Indecision clouds my vision
    No one listens
    Because I'm somewhere in between
    My love and my agony
    You see, I'm somewhere in between
    My life is falling to pieces
    Somebody put me together

    Surprise! you're dead!
    Ha ha! Open your eyes
    See the world as it used to be when you used to be in it
    When you were alive and when you were in love
    And when I took it from you!
    It's not over yet
    You don't remember?
    I won't let you forget
    The hatred bestowed
    Upon your neck with a fatal blow
    From my teeth and my toungue
    I've drank and swallowed, but it's just begun
    Now you are mine
    I'll keep killing you until the end of time
    Surprise! you're dead!
    Guess what?
    It never ends...
    The pain, the torment, and torture profanity
    Nausea, suffering, perversion, calamity
    You can't get away

    You're everything
    That's why I cling to you
    When I emerge
    MY thoughts converge to you
    To you
    The world is so small
    Compared to you
    And everybody's wrong
    Compared to you
    To you
    I begin to see through your eyes
    All the former mysteries are no surprise
    So now, you listen
    Cuz I'm omniscient
    Hey look at me lady
    I'm just a little baby
    You're lucky to have me
    I'm cute and sweet as candy
    As charming as a fable
    I'm innocent and disabled
    So hug me and kiss me
    Then wipe my butt and piss me
    I hope you never leave
    Cuz who would hear me scream?
    Nobody understands
    Except the toys in my hands
    So now you listen
    Cuz I'm omniscient
    Hey look at me lady
    I'm just a little baby
    If I smile, then you smile
    Then I'll get mad for a while
    I melt in your mouth
    And in your hands whenever I can
    But I really do nothing
    Except kickin' and fussin'
    I like to make a mess
    I laugh at your distress
    I sit all day in my crib
    Absorbing all you give
    I'm helpless
    I'm flowless
    I'm a machine
    Give me, I need my toys
    Keep me hot
    Keep me strong
    Keep me everlong
    So now you listen
    Cuz I'm omniscient

    Come closer, now
    I want you to believe it
    I'll tell you all the things
    You want to hear
    Don't worry, baby
    There's nothing to fear
    Hey, little girl
    Would you like some candy?
    Look into my eyes 
    I've seen it all
    Hand in hand
    Together we fall
    We'll sing and dance
    And we'll find romance
    And we'll stroll to the edge of the world
    Come sit right down
    Lay your head on my shoulder
    It's not the point
    That I'm forty years older
    You can't trust me
    I'm no criminal
    But I'd kill my mother
    To be with you
    We'll sing and dance
    And we'll find romance
    And we'll stroll to the edge of the world
    Give me a smile
    Let me see those pearlies
    I'd do anything
    For the little girlies...

    The Real Thing
    --------------
    I know the feeling
    It is the real thing
    The essence of the truth
    The perfect moment
    That golden moment
    I know you feel it too
    I know the feeling
    It is the real thing
    You can't refuse the embrace...
    It's like the pattern below the skin
    You gotta reach out and pull it all in
    And you feel like you're close
    So you swalllow another dose
    The pinnacle of happiness
    Filling up your soul
    You don't think you can take any more
    You never wanna let go
    To touch the roots of experience
    The most basic ingredients
    To see the unseen glitter of life
    And feel the dirt, grief, anger, and strife
    Cherish the certainty of now
    It kills you a bit at a time
    Cradle the inspiration
    It will leave you writhing on the floor...
    This is so unreal, what I feel
    This nourishment, life is bent
    Into a shape I can hold
    A twise of fate, all my own
    Just grit your teeth, make no sound
    Take a step away and look around
    Just clench your fist and close your eyes
    Look deep inside, hypnotize
    The whisper is but a shout
    That's what it is all about
    Yes, the ecstact, you can pray
    You will never let it slip away
    Like the sacred song that someone sings through you
    Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into
    LIke the dream you know one day will come to life
    Try to hold on just a little longer, stronger
    It's the jewel of victory
    The chasm of misery
    And once you have bitten the core
    You will always know the flavor
    The split second of divinity
    You drink up the sky
    All of heaven is in your arms
    You know the reason why
    It's right there, all by itself
    And what you are, there is nothing else
    You're growing a life withing a life
    The lips of wonder kiss you inside
    And when it's over the feeling remains
    It all comes down to this
    The smoke clears, I see what it is
    That made me feel this way...
    This is so unreal, what I feel
    Flood, sell your soul, feel the blood
    Pump through your veins, can't explain
    The element that's everything
    Just clench your fist and close your eyes
    Look deep inside, hypnotize
    Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
    You will never let it slip away
    Like the echoes of your childhood laughter, ever after
    Like the first time love urged you to take it's guidance, in silence
    Like your heartbeat when you realize you're dying, but you're trying
    Like the way you cry for a happy ending, ending...
    I know

    Looking down into the water
    It's hard to make out your face
    If your love is drowning, then why
    Do I feel so out of place?
    Bubbling up to the surface
    Are you getting a breath of fresh air?
    Forever longing to make you mine
    But I can't escap your stare...
    Liquid seeps into your lungs
    But your eyes look so serene
    It's wonderful how the surface ripples
    But you're perfect, and I cannot breathe
    Forever longing to make you mine
    But I can't escape your stare...
    Hold me closer, keep me near
    My underwater love
    Hold me closer, keep me near
    I'll never get enough
    Touch me from below
    I'll never let you go
    But I can't escape

    The Morning After
    -----------------
    Awakened by the sunlight
    Victimized by last night
    Memories flashin' through my head
    Was I just born or am I dead?
    Yesterday's forgotten, the morning after
    I can taste you, I can hear your laughter
    Fading in the distance
    Recollections drifting
    Bloodstains on my tattered clothes
    Each minute the fear grows
    If I could just lay down to rest
    I'm tired of searching for myself
    If I am dead, how can I feel such love?
    If I am dead, why am I dreaming?
    If I am dead, where do I go from here?
    If I am dead, why does this pain feel so good?
    Is this my blood dried upon my face?
    Or is it the love of someone else?
    It tastes so sweet, just like you used to 
    So rescue me my love, splice us together
    I remember loving you so much
    But where are you and where's your fatal touch?
    When I closed my eyes, was it my sistea?
    Did I encounter a darkness stronger than sleep?
    I am thirsty for my sleep
    There are no answers anyway...

    All I Wanna do is Make Love to You

    It was a rainy night when he came into sight
    Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat
    So I pulled along side and I offered him a ride
    He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while
    I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
    Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight
    Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night
    
    All I wanna do is make love to you
    Say you will
    You want me too
    All I wanna do is make love to you
    I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
    
    So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well
    We made magic that night.  Oh, he did everything right
    He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
    And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
    I told him I am the flower you are the seed
    We walked in the garden we planted a tree
    Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
    Just live in my memory, you'll always be there
    
    All I wanna do is make love to you
    One night of love was all we knew
    All I wanna do is make love to you
    I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
    
    Oh, oooh, we made love
    Love like strangers
    All night long
    We made love
    
    Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
    You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
    I said, please, please under stand
    I'm in love with another man
    And what he couldn't give me was the one little thing that you can
    
    All I wanna do is make love to you
    One night of love was all we knew
    All I want to do is make love to you
    Come on, say you will, you want me too
    
    All I wanna do is make love to you
    One night of love was all we knew
    All I want to do is make love to you
    Say you will, you want me too

    Secret
    ------
    We lead two different lives
    Just like two lines that never cross
    And here we are together
    Standing closer than we are
    But we're still standing here untouched
    Too scared to make a move
    We want so much to touch
    And we can't wait forever
    We know it's dangerous
    For us to be together
    
    How do we ever keep this secret
    How do we keep it in the dark
    And if we dare to taste our weakness
    How could we tear ourselves apart
    Why do we keep this love together
    Didn't we know right from the start
    That we would have to keep this secret
    Or forever stay apart
    
    I watch you coming to me
    Walking in the pouring rain
    I can't help looking at you
    Wishing I could stay away
    So many times I've tried in vain
    To close my eyes and pray it goes away
    But I can't stop myself from feeling 
    To let you go would be too much
    For me to take
    
    How do we ever keep this secret 
    How do we keep it in the dark
    And if we dare to taste our weakness
    How could we tear ourselves apart
    Why do we keep this love together
    Didn't we know right from the start
    That we would have to keep this secret
    Or forever stay apart
    
    I can't help thinking
    When I look into your eyes
    How much I need you
    It's so hard to hide
    
    How do we ever keep this secret
    How do we keep it in the dark
    And if we dare to taste our weakness
    How could we tear ourselves apart
    Why do we keep this love together
    Didn't we know right from the start
    That we would have to keep this secret
    Or be doomed to stay apart

    Ok...Here's some more from Heart
    
    Tall, Dark Handsome Stranger
    ----------------------------
    I'm so tired of these men trying to impress me with nothing
    The same old routine and the smooth fancy talking
    Now I know and believe that I found it for real
    'Cos you're good and you're kind and you care how I feel
    
    I had a tall dark handsome stranger
    I've had the devil in disguise
    I've been attracted to the danger
    But I was never satisfied
    And I know what I like
    And I like what I see in your eyes
    You're so beautiful...
    
    I've been pushed I've been pulled
    I've been put out and trod on
    Just by taking my chances I finally caught on
    When I see in your eyes all the love shining through
    I'm so glad I held out for somebody like you
    
    I had a tall dark handsome stranger
    I've had the devil in disguise
    I've been attracted to the danger
    But I was never satisfied
    And I know what I like 
    And I like what I see in your eyes
    
    Heaven must have sent you I know
    You're so good to me
    I feel good with you
    I'd be such a fool to let go
    There's something about you
    I can't live without you
    
    I've had fast talking good looking men at my door
    Now I'm a wiser woman than I was before
    
    I've had a tall dark handsome stranger
    I've had the devil in disguise
    I've been attracted to the danger
    But I was never never satisfied
    And I know what I like
    And I like what I see in your eyes
    
    I've had a tall dark handsome stranger
    I've had the devil in disguise
    I've been attracted to the danger
    But I was never never never satisfied
    And I know what I like 
    And I like what I see in your eyes

    Ok...here's one from my old band
    
    I've forgot the words to the rest but here is the chorus
    
    Cause...
    
    He's Shadow
    Is he man or beast?
    He's Shadow
    Will you be his next feast?
    He's Shadow
    His body is leases
    
    He blends in to the dark black
    His bite is worse than an AQ attack
    So if you see him, know something's wrong
    Get out of his way, head this song.

    Ok, more from Heart!
    
    I Didn't Want to Need You
    -------------------------
    Baby, I never gave my heart to anyone, oh no
    Used to think that love was a game
    I used to make it just for fun
    When we spent the night together
    Didn't mean it meant that much
    Now I just can't live without your touch
    
    I didn't wanna need you, no
    I didn't wanna want you like I do
    I didn't mean to fall
    Didn't wanna care at all
    I didn't wanna need you
    Like I need you now
    
    I can't get no sleep
    'Coz I keep thinking of you all through the night, oh yeah
    My eyes can't wait to see you again
    My arms can't wait to hold you tight oh yeah
    And when you're laying here beside me
    There is nothing else I need
    Never thought that this could ever be
    
    I didn't wanna need you, oh no
    I didn't wanna want you like I do
    I didn't mean to fall
    Didn't wanna care at all
    I didn't wanna need you
    Like I need you now
    
    I've always been free
    To leaev when I wanna leave
    But it's not up to me anymore
    I didn't wanna need you
    
    I didn't wanna need you no
    I didn't wanna want you like I do
    I didn't mean to fall
    Didn't want to care at all
    I didn't wanna need you
    But I need you now

	Back home I used to listen to an Alternative Rock station ALL day
    non-stop (almost).  The only prob was that i couldn't listen to it from
    my computer (got me away from the comp, ahah).  That station was KROQ,
    106.7 in CA.  I listened to lotsa diff stuff, but when I started
    listening there, I rarely changed stations.  Alternative is the best!

    Deeper Understanding - Kate Bush
    
    As the people here grow colder
    I turn to my computer
    And spend my evenings with it
    like a friend 
    I was loading a new programme
    I had ordered from a magazine
    "Are you lonely are you lost? 
    This voice console is a _must_"
    
    I press Execute.
    
    Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
    I bring you love, and deeper understanding
    Hello, I know that you're unhappy
    I bring you love and deeper understanding.
    
    Well I've never felt such pleasure
    Nothing else seemed to matter
    I neglected my bodily needs
    I did not eat, I did not sleep
    The intensity increasing
    'Til my family found me and intervened
    But I was lonely I was lost
    Without my little black box.
    I pick up the phone and go Execute...
    
    Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
    I bring you love and deeper understanding.
    Hello, I know that youre unhappy
    I bring you love and deeper understanding.
    
    I turn to my computer...like a friend
    I need deeper understanding.
    Give me deeper understanding.
    
    (I hate to leave ya
      I hate to leave ya,
       I hate to lose you...)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    HERO:
    
    There's a hero
    If you look inside your heart
    You don't have to be afraid of what you are
    There's an answer
    If you reach into your soul
    And the sorrow that you know
    Will melt away
    
    (Chorus)
    And then a hero comes along
    With the strength to carry on
    And you cast your fears aside
    And you know you can survive
    So when you feel like hope is gone
    Look inside you and be strong
    And you'll finally see the truth
    That a hero lies in you
    
    It's a long road
    When you face the world alone
    No one reaches out a hand
    For you to hold
    You can find love
    If you search within yourself
    And the emptiness you felt
    Will disappear
    
    (Chorus)
    
    Lord knows
    Dreams are hard to follow
    But don't let anyone
    Tear them away
    Hold on
    There will be tomorrow
    In time
    You'll find the way

    Where the nights are born blue, that's the truth

    fish are jumping, too, next to you
     
    suddenly you notice someone's at the door,
    you could swear you've been through all this before
    
    chorus:
    then she runs her fingertips through your hair
    you life has just begun
    her fingers, they are everywhere
    you're floating light like air, 
    leaving the ground and she shines on jsut like the sun.
    
    you're gazing at the sky, o my.
    the stars are out tonight, shining bright
    you're waving to a cloud, bye-bye
    you're drowning in the smile of his eyes
    suddenly you feel there's no time 
    for a deal though a voice tells you its for real.
    
    chorus
    
    it's just a sunny afternoon 
    somebody's singing songs of love, child 
    you love a lazy afternoon once in a while.

    touch me now, i close my eyes and dream away.
    
    chorus:
    it must have been love, but it's over now
    it must have good, but i lost it somehow 
    it must have been love, but it's over now
    from the moment we touched til the time had run out.
    
    make believing that we're together,
    taht i'm sheltered by your heart
    but in and outside i've turned to water
    like a teardrop in your palm.
    and it's a hard winter's day, i dream away.
    
    it must have been love, but it's over now,
    it was all that i wanted, now i'm living without.
    it must have been love, but it's over now
    it's where the water flows, it's the wind blows.

    So far away
    
    in the coldest time of year, darkness all around my heart.
    i was alone but didn't fear to wander in the light of stars
    in the bright and silent night, winds would knock and disa ppear.
    still i felt the feeling near, 
    like the first the first time you were ever here.
    
    you're so far away, so far away, you left me, 
    you told me you would stay.
    you never said goodbye and i'll keep why, 
    i keep on wondering  how, oh come unto me now.
    
    i have breathed the morning air, i have heard the four winds blow
    i was weary but prepared to follow down this lonely road.
    in the room where lovers sleep, winds would knock and disappear.
    still i feel the music near, like the first time we were ever here.
    
    you're so far away, so  far away, you left me,
    you told me you would stay. 
    you never said goodbye and i keep wondering why,
    i keep wondering how, oh come inside me now.

    You can raise welts

    Let our love be a flame not an amber.
    Say it's me that you want to dismember.
    Blacken my eye,
    set fire to my tie
    as we Dance to the Masochism Tango.
    
    At your command,
    before you here I stand,
    my heart is in my hand (...ech).
    It's here that I must be.
    My heart heart intreats,
    just hear those savage beats,
    and go put on your cleats,
    and come and trample me.
    
    Your heart is as hard as stone or mahogany.
    That's why I'm in such exquisite agony.
    My soul is on fire,
    it's aflame with desire.
    Which is why I perspire when we tango.
    
    You caught my nose in your left castanet, love.
    I can feel the pain yet, love.
    Every time I hear drums.
    And I envy the rose that you held in your teeth, love.
    With the thorns underneath, love.
    Sticking into your gums.
    
    Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
    The last time I needed twenty stitches,

    Due to a single request (mine) I am typing the words to a Beatles song.
    
    When I get older
    Losing my hair
    Many years from now
    
    Will you still be sending me a valentine
    Birthday greetings,
    Bottle of wine
    
    If I've been out 'till quarter to three
    Would you lock the door?
    Will you still need me
    Will you still feed me
    When I'm Sixty-four
    
    You'll be older too
    
    And if you say the word
    I could stay with you
    
    I could be handy
    Mending a fuse
    When your lights have gone
    
    You could knit a sweater by the fireside
    Sunday mornings, 
    go for a ride
    
    Doing the garden,
    Digging the weeds
    Who could ask for more?
    
    Will you still need me
    Will you still feed me
    When I'm sixty-four
    
    Every summer we could rent a cottage in the Isle of White if it's not
	 too dear
    We shall scrimp and save
    Grandchildren on your knee
    Vera, Chuck, and Dave
    
    Send me a postcard

	I pulled this off the net...thought it was funny.  don't know how
    many of you know the actual song, but it is a great parody...
								Pook
    
    
Ok...against my better instincts, I've done it again.  Another parody
of a song from U2's new album.  I call it "Lemon (The Trabant Version)",
to distinguish it from the original song of the same name, and in homage
to those dinky, piece-of-crap East German cars that the band featured in
the "One" video and hung over the stage during the Zoo TV Tour...Enjoy!  :)

(Maybe I'll just do every song on _Zooropa_...think Weird Al would be
interested?)

LEMON (The Trabant Version)
---------------------------

Lemon
Stalling at a red light
Bought a lemon
But on the lot it looked right
It's gonna make me cry
It's gonna make me mutter and groan
My wallet's dry
From making payments on the loan

And I feel
Like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly going nowhere
And I feel
Like I'm out of gas again

Drive a lemon
Shocks no longer work right
Hit a pothole
Gotta hold on so tight

A man meets a dealer
A used car dealer
Sees a car he likes and sees a price that looks all right
A man signs a contract
A man writes a check
Turns his money into junk and buys a wreck

And I feel 
Like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from my lane
And I feel
Like the steering's gone again

Midnight
Is when the tow truck comes
Midnight
Is when the tow truck comes
Midnight 
Is when the tow truck comes

Lemon
Warnings from the dashboard lights

A man buys new gaskets
Brakes and transmission
A man hits "defrost"
But he can't see the world outside      (Gonna meet her there)
A man buys a car                        (She's your destination)
But it it doesn't run that well         (Gonna be real late)
A man dreams of leaving                 (Car causing frustration)
But the engine won't comply

And these are the days
When the warranty expires
And these are the days
When we're driving on bald tires

Midnight
Is when the tow truck comes
Midnight
Is when the tow truck comes...

A man meets a dealer
A used car dealer
Sees a car he likes and sees a price that looks all right
A man signs a contract
A man writes a check
Turns his money into junk and buys a wreck

Midnight
Is when the tow truck comes
Midnight 
Is when the tow truck comes...

Peter Gabriel - SO

*******************

Mercy Street - in memory of Anne Sexton



looking down on empty streets,
all she can see
are the dreams all made solid
are the dreams made real

all of the buildings, all of those cars
were once just a dream 
in somebody's head 

she pictures the broken glass,
she pictures the steam
she pictures a soul
with no leak at the seam

let's take the boat out 
wait until darkness
let's take the boat out
wait until darkness comes

nowhere in the corridors of pale green
and grey
nowhere in the suburbs
in the cold light of day

there in the midst of it so alive and alone
words suport like bone

dreaming of mercy street
wear your inside out
dreaming of mercy
in your daddy's arms again
dreaming of mercy street
'swear they moved that sign
dreaming of mercy
in your daddy's arms 

pulling out the papers from drawers 
that slide smooth
tugging at the darkness, word upon word

confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
to the priest--he's the doctor
he can handle the shocks

dreaming of the tendrness--the tremble
in the hips
of kissing Mary's lips

dreaming of mercy street
wear your inside out
dreaming of mercy
in your daddy's arms again
dreaming of mercy street
'swear they moved that sign
looking for mercy
in your daddy's arms

mercy, mercy, looking for mercy 
mercy, mercy, looking for mercy

Anne, with father is out in the boat
riding the water
riding the waves on the sea

    In the not too distant future,
    Next Sunday A.D.
    There is a guy named Joel,
    Not too different from you or me.
    He worked at Gizmonic Institute,
    Just another face in a red jumpsuit.
    He did a good job cleaning up the place,
    But his bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space.
    
    We send him cheesy movies.
    The worst we can find.                          (Fa la la)
    He has to sit and watch them all,
    While we monitor his mind.                      (Fa la la)
    Now keep in mind Joel can't control
    When the movies begin or end,
    Because he used those special parts, 
    To build his robot friends.
    
    Robot Roll Call!
    
    Cambot
    Gypsy
    Tom Servo
    Crooooooow
    
    If you're wondering how he eats and breathes,
    And other science facts,                        (Fa la la)
    Then remind yourself that it's just a show,
    And sit back and relax.
    
    For Mystery Science Theater 3000.
