THIS IS SHANGRILA
WRITTEN BY GOSSARD AND MOTHER LOVE BONE
i've been around the world and i wrote a million songs
it's all a bore to me
i've slept in the gutter and i've lied to the dogs
it never bothered me
the sheriff he came to with his little boys in blue
they been lookin for me
but with my CRYSTAL SHEEN GUITAR i'm another ego star
so give it to me......
get me to the stage - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i look bad in shorts but most of us do
don't let that bother me
i'm the FOOTBALL who is who, i don't believe in smack
so don't you die on me
cause LOVE is all good people need
MUSIC sets the sick ones free
without LOVE no one ever grows nothing ever sings...
this is shangrila
you have gathered for the feast
THE BREAD IS MY BODY...the wine is blood
get me to the stage - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again

STARDOG CHAMPION
WRITTEN BY GOSSARD AND MOTHER LOVE BONE
san fransisco, where the flowers bloom in spring
fade to winter, and see what disease brings
augustiono, with his eyes once a shining sea
he's half a shadow, god don't let that be me
i'm a STARDOG CHAMPION
west virginia, that's where my father lies
wartime hero, the kind that money buys
a diamond bracelet, for my mommy memory
thats all she wrote, all she wrote for me...
i'm A STARDOG CHAMPION
i'm A STARDOG CHAMPION
and the children use ta sing of love
with grace from he lord above
and the children use ta sing out loud
etc repeat chorus etc....

COME BITE THE APPLE
WRITTEN BY GOSSARD AND MOTHER LOVE BONE
how did i get here
WHAT SONG DID I SING
just what have i done to deserve such a thing
(you say - i've heard all that before)
(so won't you give it up and stop using me)
(i've heard all that before)
so bring me an apple, i'm cryin
i been persecuted, like a lying man
the SPIRIT provides me
its what i am today
this spirit it gives but it also can take away
(and you say - i've heard all that before)
(so won't you give it up baby and stop using me)
(i've heard all this before)
so come bite the APPLE, i'm run down
like sodom to gommorah, all dead now
so please stop to laugh and pity me
my soul means well but i'm sorry
my skin it is withered and i'm nervous
my future was in my hands, till i washed it all away
get along little sister - i heard you doing well...
doing well...said get along little sister
heard your doing well
etc...bla, bla, bla...

STARGAZER
WRITTEN BY WOOD AND MOTHER LOVE BONE

who defies all

and hold my arms
woman, woman she outta mind
and simply out of soul
she gets me higher than anyone
i miss her so
    stargazer you call the shots
    and i take um
    stargazer won't ya kick with me
    (again)
dancer dancer i'm all wrong
she thinks she's young and wise
she dance around my cable car
and fix me up with a guy - why?
    chorus
stargazer you cry in blue
anything i've ever seen
ain't as good as you
i'm not trying to push your feelings (inside)
but i know you hold me like a putty in yo' hands [transcriber's note: early Malfunkshun song: "With Yo' Heart Not Yo' Hands"]
cry for me and rub it in
cry for the saviors and the prophets son
dream of me and julie ann
ah xana come back again [transcriber's note: Andy's fiancée was Xana LaFuente]
(repeat last two lines)

HEARTSHINE
WRITTEN BY MOTHER LOVE BONE
waste away my tears
cause i can't cry no more
no more no less
my brothers drowning
like a star, like a slower suicide
me i gave mine away
i give to you my heartshine
i give to you my heartshines only for you
a sad hello to death
i'm a stubborn goat on trial
no more no less
i said time will tell
if love has the strength to push it - the strength to push it
my the pain away
i give to you my heartshine
i give to you my heartshine
love flourishes - love flourishes, you've gotta value love supreme...

MAN OF GOLDEN WORDS
WRITTEN BY WOOD AND MOTHER LOVE BONE
i want to show you something, like joy inside my heart

or would i live at all

communication
so on her arrival I will set free the birds
its a pretty time of year, the mountains sing aloud
tell me Mr golden words hows bout the world
tell me, can you tell me at all
words and music - my only tools
communication
lets fall in love with music
the driving force in our living
the only international language
divine glory, the expression
the knees bow the tongue
confesses
the lord of lords, the king of kings
words and music - my only tools
communication
etc

CROWN OF THORNS
WRITTEN BY WOOD AND MOTHER LOVE BONE
you ever heard the story, of mister faded glory
say he who rides the pony must someday fall
i been talkin to my alter it says life is what you make it
and if you make it death well rest your soul away, away, away
it's a broken kinda feeling, should have to tie me to the ceiling
a bad moons-a-comin better say your prayers
i wanna tell her that i love her but does it really matter
i just can't stand to see you  dragging down again, again, again
this is my kinda love
it's the kind that moves on
it's unkind and leaves me alone
repeat
i used to treat you like a lady, now you're a substitute teacher
this bottles not a pretty, not a pretty sight to see
i owe the man some money so i'm turnin over honey
you see mister faded glory is once again doin time
repeat chorus
repeat chorus
like a crown of thorns, its all who you know
so don't burn your bridges woman cause someday
repeat chorus etc....
