Alamo

Alamo,
Heard all about your fandango.
Banged on mah knees on your back door,
Only to wake you to blues on the way.
Blues on the way...
Blues on the way...

Adoo...

Embarcadere,
Figures you'll see me as older.
Twenty-three hours 'til the border.
Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.
Fast as I came...
Fast as I came...

Tears on my pillow,
Of course they're not mine.
Alter, that ought to make in a play.
Somebody, invent the telephone line.
I'll take my ehe... chances.
Oh... uhum...

Alamo,
Wish I could do what gold does.
Heard that the stars were in order.
God, you served out a hand
With two queen-o'-spades,
An' blues on the way.
Blues on the way...

Tears on my pillow,
Of course they're not mine.
Alter, to that ought to make in a play.
Somebody, just...
Somebody, invent the telephone line.
I'll take my hi... chance

Baltimore

It's so nice to live here,
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
It's someplace to call my own.

It's all kinds of people
Familiar places,smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian.
But the 'Birds' are the best,
The best of Baltimore.

We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much to love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land in Baltimore.
Love is what you find so stop and take the time.
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind.

We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much to love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land in Baltimore.
Love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
To enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore.

The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
In a working american city
With all the people who make it that way.
It's time to jump in a taxi
For Thirty-third Street
Knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go,
Watching Weaver's show.

We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much to love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land in Baltimore.
Love is what you find so stop and take the time.
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind.
On my mind in Baltimore.

Black Swan

Ride on, Ride on
Friends of a Black Swan
Ride on, Ride on
Do you know where she's gone?
Gumdrops and Saturdays
Did Eric call, by the way?
He knew, he knew
He knew where the pillow goes

Ride on, Ride on
Friends of a Black Swan
Ride on, Ride on
You know where she's gone
Buttercups and fishing flies
The biggest thickest ever skies
I know
They know something I know

Ride on, Ride on
Friends of a Black Swan
Ride on, Ride on
You know where she's gone
Little Green Men do OK
It's the faeries revenge they say
Gumdrops, Saturdays
Did Eric call, by the way?

Friends of a Black Swan
Ride on, Ride on
You know where she's gone

Blue Skies

yeah heah heah hea
Those blue skies are ahead
Blue skies in my head

All the town clocks
And marching socks
I say let's go let's go let's go
To this magic wonder show

And i`m walking and
Crawling and

So tired i'm insane
So tour-on and sing

High high eye I
High eye I see

Blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead

Said blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead

Beach wood
Says he`d like you in the street
Said like you in the street
In the lullabies

Just when she thinks it`s
Like you in the street
Said like you in the street
In the lullabies

You can go just where she`s going

Blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead

Said blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead

Blue skies
Blue skies are up ahead

Cooling

Maybe I didn't like to hear
But I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead

So then I thought I'd make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead

And Piggy got a message for me
from Jesus
And I heard every word that she was saying

And I know I have been
driven like the snow

This is cooling
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can

So then I tried to make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
This ocean is wrapped around that pinapple tree

And is your place in heaven Worth giving up these kisses
These kisses

And Piggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I heard every word that she had said

And I know I have been
driven like the snow

This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can

Yes, this is cooling
This is cooling

Daisy Dead Petals

Daisy Dead petals that is her name
She's in the phone booth phase so
Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
She can turn it out with a heel on
She just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing they're just around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places

Daisy Dead Petals that is her name
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger made
Well these dead petals honey brought me here
She said these dead petals brought me here

Dancing on a dime
Hearing Mother cry
Maybe she's around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
On my back with
On my back with some dirty dishes

Falling down, falling down
All over the river
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
Falling down, falling down, falling down

And since we're down we might as well stay
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
She's a new friend not a skeleton
To ride into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing that she tastes like a hamburger made
But these dead petals brought me here
She said these dead petals brought me here
Said these dead petals brought me here

Flying Dutchman

Hey kid, I've got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic book tatoo
And you'll never be anything

"What will you do with your life"
Oh, that's all you hear from noon till night

Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight

Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?

Straight suits, they don't understand
She tried, that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in

Heart falling fast when she left
Even the milky way was dressed in black

Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight

Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman

Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me

They can't be what they can't believe
They can't see what you see

Keep the boys spinning in their own little world
Time up and so we won't say a word
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were

Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight

Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman

Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?

They can't They can't see They can't see they can't see
feel me What I've found out You know you know
you're jumping from a high jump
Are you still They can't see hide your love hide your love
out there? I just move this so many know you know
Mountain but them, oh they can't see
cause they can't see

For Mark

she needs to sleep like the ocean
she needs to dream like that boy down in Stratton?
don't know what he's all about but
I'm sure he knows one of the spots
I need to be in this body
I need to breathe
I need no one but one
and it's gonna be here like it never was
like it never was
he's got girls on his fingers
little dough eyes making ringers ring off the phone
tell her you know what she's been thinking
cause I need only one
only one sugar
I said you are gonna see
I'm ready to be just with the one
with the blue blue notions of motions

Frog On My Toe

Poppa I know
There's a frog on my toe
Maybe I'll call him Jethro
Maybe I'll grow up to be
As wise and as good as he
And maybe I'll come back after you're long gone

Poppa I'm sure
The worms have eaten you now
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
Now I'm pretty sure that I listen to every word
'Cause you're still here telling me still

Slap them boys when they're naughty
Make them crawl, make you haughty
Make you strong, little girl
You paint them toes a reddish colour
And you know one day
You're gonna be bigger than a flea
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree

Now I'm pretty sure
That I think you'd come and visit
And talk sometimes kinda like Gidget
A funny little chance like an Indian Brave
He said "We all grew fat when the white man came"

But one day girl you're gonna learn to make them crawl
Make them grow tall
But have the grace
To be a lady with disgrace
And you fry them 'tatoes
And make them with laddies hands
I know you're my pappy's baby

Graveyard

Here I said
Don't even let this go
And it's Hey

With my little tune
It's June

I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard
To sing you to sleep

Here in My Head

In my head I found you there
And running around and following me
Boy you don't, oh, dare now
But i find that I have now
More than I ever wanted to

So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born in your backyard
Like you have said
And maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you there

You, oh, here in my head
and running around and calling me
Come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow
And open their petals again and again
And you know that Apple green ice-cream can melt in your hand
I can't so....
I held your hand at the fair
And even forgot what time it was

And even Thomas Jefferson wasn't born in your backyard
Like you have said
And maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you
And me here alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt and the girl from the south
All favourites of mine, You know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles
That makes it all clear, makes it all.....
Hey do you know
Hey do you know
What this is doing to me?
Oh, here
Here
Here
Here in my head

Hey Jupiter (Dakota Mix)

No-one's picking up the phone
Guess it's me and me
And this little masochist
She's ready to confess
All the things that
I never thought that she could feel and

Hey Jupiter
Nothings been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to

Sometimes I breathe you in
And I know that you know
And sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
If my heart's soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess

Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to

And he isn't you

No-one's picking up the phone
Guess it's clear he's gone
And this little masochist
Is lifting up her dress
Guess I thought
I could never feel the things I feel and

Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to

I thought I wouldn't have to keep
With you
Hiding

I go from day to day
I know where the cupboards are
I know where the car is parked
I know he isn't you
Yes

Nothing
Hey Jupiter
Nothing
Nothing's been the same
Nothing
Nothing

Home on the Range (Cherokee Edition)

Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day

Well Jackson made deals
A thief down to his heels
Had a long trail of tears
the Smokies could hide
a Cherokee bride
Her brave was shot yesterday

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day

We know it's not Caroline
Your home is your home
The range may be fine
For some but not in my eyes

Home on the range
The Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride
But in their eyes we know it's not Caroline

Yes, yes, America
Hey, ah, America
Who discovered your ass?

The white man came
"This land is my Land
this is your land" they say

Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Honey

Little dust never stopped me none
You like my shoes, I keep them on
Sometimes I can hold my tongue
But sometimes not
When you just skip to lou my darling
And you know what you're doin'so don't even
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey now

And I think I could leave your world
Yes she was the better girl
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
I'm not sure what you're doin'or the reasons
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey now

Don't bother coming down
Made a friend of the western skies
What if I'm coming down
You always like your babies tied

Tell you one last time
Love to watch those cowboys ride
Cowboys now on cowgirls ride
Or on the Indian side
You're just too used to my honey now
And you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just too used to my honey now
You're just too used to my honey

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty dumpty had a great big fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

Humpty dumpty and Betty Louise
Stole a [sony?] and some Camembert cheese
She said "Humpty baby, take me
Oooh, yeah, take me to the river
Cause I like the way it runs, yeah,
Take me to the river
You know I like the way it runs, yeah"

He said, "Everything's going my way"
he said, "Maybe it's my la-lucky day"
And he said, "anything you want
I can give"
She said, "I wanna take your picture
Just for me"
He said, "Anything"
She said, "Up there, baby

Get on the wall babe"

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
And looked at her as he was falling
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

Hey, Betty Louise
Hey, Betty Louise
She said, "I like custard in the summer, honey
Oh yeah, what it takes to be queen
Hey, what it takes to be queen

Mary

Everybody wants something from you
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking

God I want to get you out of here
You can ride in a pink mustang
When I think of what we've done to you

Mary, can you hear me?

Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips
Butterflies don't belong in nets

Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way

Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind....
Even the wind cries your name

Everybody wants you sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pin-up girl
They gottta run as they buy and sell

If it's a myth, running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying?
What do we do when our baby scream?
Fill their mouths with some magic rain

Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way

Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind.....
Even the wind cries your name

Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay, ooh ooh

Oh butterflies don't belong in nets

Oh Mary, can you hear me?

And I hear help is on the way

Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid

'Cause even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
Cries your name....

Ode To The Banana King, Part One

Turning back ten thousand years
It's all a blur where the taxis go
Monster man a willing friend
Lucy serves the melon cold
Violent and delicious souls
Four red trucks dressed illegally
Mother knows how the bugle blows
Gonna get caught in her rug babe

This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been

Boats made out of paper float
Dreams made up for the banana king
Darling crumbs you have lapped freely up
Devious we all have been

Violent and delicious souls

This is not a conclusion
No revolution
Just a little confusion
On where your head has been

Don't know where I vacation
Don't "Lebo-Lebi-Lady (undecipherable)"
Don't know where Dawn used to be
Don't know why my heart is running

Before you turn around
Before you turn around
Before you turn around, you will

Before each day that I chasing the silver leave
I saw my leave of souls of my soul
Before each day that I am leaving, sword under my bed,
So, I left right beside where ever it
takes me and Johny and Mr B.
Hold my hand, only by my hand

Purple People (Christmas In Space)

well, hey did you do judo when they surrounded you
a little mental yoga will they disappear
it’s grim but never dubious as motives go
no matter what it takes
she promises a show

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loved
as she can be
these gifts are here
for her
for you
for me

I watch me be this other thing and never know
if I’m marooned or where the purple people go
then lily white matricide from vicious words
it doesn’t leave a scratch
so therefore no-one’s hurt

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loved
as she can be
these gifts are here
for her
for you
for me

don’t you know the nurses make it clear
just when you’ve escaped
you have yourself to fear
a restaurant that never has to close
breakfast every hour
it could save the world

so hey do you do judo in your finery
an angel's face is tricky to wear
constantly

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loved
as she can be
these gifts are here
for her
for you
for me

for her...

Master Shamen
I have come
With my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade

But all the angels
And all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them
Touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne

Sister Janet
You have come
From the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming
Call the wanderer
Where he has gone
All those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wing
A wing can cover all sorts of things

And all the angels
And all the wizards black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them
Touching hands before our eyes
And I can even see sweet Marianne

Hey yes

Well

Got a sister named Desire
They dont let you like those little boys

On the back yard swing

I thought we told some little sweet stories
In the parking lot

They say that girl lost her sway
The say that girl lost her sway that day
Mm mm mm mm mm, mm mm

God I'd like to drag him for a long way 'cause maybe I
Then I'd just cry a little tear near him
To that sleepy safe place
And I'm gonna take him by myself if I've got to go
Don't let you know, let you know where she goes to
with those, me as I interfere
That girl lost her sway
They say that girl lost her sway that day

Mm, mm, mm, mm
Teach me about them old worlds big brother
and in an elevator
where somebody can get out
With the
sound
They say that girl lost her sway
Just watch it
Just watch it slip through my hands, Boy
Watch it go
Oh, what you know, ooh

I guess
I see
Just see
'Cause she still can sway

Song For Eric

I wait all day for my sailor and sometimes he comes

See you over hill and dale
Riding on the wind I see
You know me, you know me like the nightingale

Will you hold me for just a fair time
The tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
Fair boy your eyes haunt me

Sugar

Don't say morning's come
Don't say it's up to me
If I could take 25 minutes off the record books
And sugar
He brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
And hammers he
Used one on me
Cold war with little boys
Get in with their bubble-gum trade
And sugar
He brings me sugar
I know the robins bring
Bring me many things
But sugar
He brings me sugar
As far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
And you know and I know
I don't know who me is very well
I know you know
If they found me out

yes said
Sweet boy when they find you out
Tell me what you think they'll do
When they find out you got a little in here
Tell me what you think they'll do
When they find you out
Whe they find you out
When they find out
You're just sugar
He's sugar

I know the robins bring
Bring me many things
But sugar
Bring me sugar
I know the robins bring
Bring me many things
But sugar

Sweet Dreams

"Lies everywhere"
Said the father to the son
You're peppermint breath
Gonna choke him to death Daddy
Watch your little black sheep run
He's got knives in your back
Every time he opens up
You say "He gotta be strong if
He wants to be a man" Mister
I don't know how you can have
Sweet Dreams
Land land of Liberty we're run
By a constipated man
When you live in the past you refuse to see
When your daughter comes home
9 months pregnant with 5 billion points
Of light gonna shine them on the face
Of your friends - they've got the earth in a sling
The world on her knees they've even got
Your zipper between their teeth
Sweet Dreams
You say you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
Go on and dream
Your house is on fire

Well well summer wind
Been catchin up with me
"Elephant mind missy
you don't have you're forgettin
to fly darlin when you sleep"
I got hazy lazy susan
Takin turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes
Runnin through my body
Funny how they all have my face
Sweet Dreams

Take To The Sky

This house is like Russia
With Eyes cold and gray
You got me movin in a circle
I dyed my hair Red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried Deep in my heart yeah
But my priest says
You ain't savin no souls
My father says
You ain't makin any money
My Doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you Don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky

My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way so
Close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name
If you don't like me just a little
Why Do you hang around
If you don't like me just a little
Why do you
Take it take it take it take it

You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky

The Pool

One with her hands
Open
"Don't be afraid" she said
"No-one will know it -
Just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back

'Til The Chicken

so some say she got green enough field
and some say she got too many strings
with petticoats out and goin hall gown

the sweetest nylon no not where she's gone
gonna raise his tail and wraggle his wings

some say she got plenty of stockings
some say she got some Divas and Kramer
why all this spare then shaking her tail

the sweetest nylon no not where she's gone
gonna raise his tail and wraggle his wings
until the little chicken come home

Toodles Mr Jim

Hey yes I said yes I said Hooray hey yippee yay I said diddily hey

Toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Toodles I say so long
Hear that your grave's a little warm you stickler
Sing them all your happy song
It's today
Today's Sunday
By your Grave

I say Toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Taught me so well how to spell those red
You know she deserved that nose
Splattered
Swattered
Blood in my hands
Not a nice day for your little girl
But you came to my aid instead

But now it's Toodles Mr Jim you cherry picker
Built that ladder well
Teach me just where those boys can climb
When they've got a spell

Toodles Mr Jim you are
My sweet favourite neighbour of them all
Let those Girls go to their parties
I don't care
'Cos I'm with you
Still

[spoken: "That was Toodles Mr Jim. Mr Jim die two weeks ago. He taught me how to pick cherries and I punched his daughter in the nose 'cause she was mean. Mr Jim was good."]

Upside Down

God I love to turn my little blue world
Upsidedown
God I love to turn my little blue world
Upsidedown
Inside my head the noise
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still comin' out of my Mother
Upsidedown
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl
Upsidedown
I know you love to turn this little blue baby girl
Upsidedown
But my heart it says you've been
Shatter shatter shatter shatter shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still comin' out of your Mother
Upsidedown
But when you gonna stand on your own?
I say the world is sick you say
Tell me what that makes us darlin'
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say baby what have you been smokin'
Well I dreamed I dreamed I dreamed
I loved a black boy
My Daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl
Upsidedown
Any kind of touch is better than none
Even Upsidedown
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten in my hair
Cincinnati - I like the word
It's the only thing we can't seem to turn
Upsidedown
Well I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm ok when everything is not ok
Don't we love to turn our little blue world
Upsidedown
Don't we love to turn our little blue world
Upsidedown
Inside my head a voice
Chatter chatter chatter chatter
And it says Girl you're all the same
Still comin' out of your Mother
Still comin' out of your Mother
Upsidedown

Walking With You

Walking with you
Hand in palm, palm in hand
It's great to be your special friend
I wonder if you'll ever land
Next to my heart where you belong
Walking along
Singing a song
Walking with you

Walking with you
Heart in steps, Step on beach
Beach in sun, have some fun
It's great to be your special friend
I wonder if you'll ever hand
Over your heart to me
Walking along
Smiling our song
Walking with you

I know a place, where you can stay
Footsteps to a door open all day
Walking with you walking with you
Walking....

Walking with you
Life in eyes, light in your eye-eyes
I know you love me too.
Walking with you...
Walking with you...
Walking with you...

Whoomp There It Is (note:  "Kevin and Bean" are Los Angeles area Radio DJ's (KROQ 106.7. See www.kroq.com for more info), so I am assuming this was done on one of the breakfast with Kevin and Bean shows-jessica

Whoomp there it is
There she goes again
In the bathroom with her shoes on
Whoomp there it is
With Kevin and Bean
A cookie in the oven
And a sherry in my scene
I said whoomp there it is
I'll tell you what she knows
I'm coming back to lay in the mud
It's a bit shakin' these days you know
But they always knew how to
Rock an' Roll
I said whoomp there it is
I gotta end this song
I don't know what's coming
If my lyrics go on
It's over now
Uh-uh
