Pretty Good Year

 

Tears on the sleeve of a man don't wanna be a boy today. I Heard the eternal footman has bought himself a bike to race. And Greg he writes letters and burns his CDs they say you were something in those formative years hold onto nothing as fast as you can well, still pretty good year. 

Maybe a bright sandy beach is gonna bring you back may not, so now you've off you're gonna see America well let me tell you something about America. Pretty good year. 

 

Some things are melting now, well what's it gonna take till my baby's alright.

And Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in Lucy was pretty your best friend agreed well still pretty good year.

God

 

Chorus: God sometimes you just don't come through. God sometimes you just don't come through. Do you need a woman to look after you? God sometimes you just don't come through. 

You make pretty daisies pretty daisies, love, I gotta find what you've doing about
things here. A few witches burning gets a little toasty here. I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows. 


Tell me you've crazy maybe then then I'll understand. You got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case heard you've gone south well babe you love your new 4 wheel I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows. 

Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall? Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky? 

<Chorus>

Bells For Her

And through the life force and there goes her friend on her Nishiki, it's out of time. And through the portal they can make amends. Hey, would you say whatever, we're blanket friends.

 

Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on it's way.

 

And through the walls they made their mud pies. "I've got your mind I said", she said "I've your voice". I said "You don't need my voice girl, you have your own. But you never thought it was enough." So they went years and years like sisters, blanket. Blanket girls always there through that and this. "There's nothing we cannot ever fix," I said. 

 

Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on it's way. 

 

Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls. Brothers and lovers she and I were. Now she seems to be sand under his shoe. There's nothing I can do. 

 

Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on it's way. 

 

And now I speak to you are you in there? You have her face and her eyes, but you are not her. And we go each other like blankets who can't find their thread and their bare.

 

Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on it's way. Cant stop loving can't stop what is on it's way. And I see it coming, and it's on its way.

Past The Mission

I don't believe I went to far. I said I was willing, willing, willing. She said she knew what my books did not. I thought she knew what's up.

 

Chorus: Past the mission behind the prison tower. Past the mission, I once knew a hot girl. Past the mission, they're closing every hour. Past the mission and I smell the roses.

 

She said they all they think they know him well. She knew him better, better, better. Everyone wanted something from him. I did, too, but I shut my mouth. He just gave me a smile.

 

<Chorus>

 

Hey, they found a body. Not sure it was him, but they're using his name and she. Gave him shelter. Somewhere I know she knows. Somewhere I know she knows. Some things only she knows.

 

<Chorus>

Past the mission and I smell the roses.

Baker, Baker

Baker, baker, baking a cake. Make me a day, make me whole again. And I wonder what's in a day? What's in your cake this time? 

 

I guess you heard he's gone to LA. He says that behind my eyes I'm hiding and he tells me I pushed him away, that my hearts been hard to find.

 

Here, there must be something here. There must something here, here.

Baker, baker can you explain if truly his heart was made of icing? And I wonder how mine could taste, maybe we could change his mind.

 

Time, thought I'd made friends with time. Thought we'd be flying. Well, maybe not this time.

 

Baker, baker baking a cake. Make  me  day, make me whole again. And I wonder if he's okay. If you see him say hi.

The Wrong Band

I think it's perfectly clear, we're in the wrong band. Ginger is always sincere, just not to one man. She called me up and she said, "You know that I'm drowning". It's the dog trainer again, he says that he thinks that she needs more hands.

 

I think it's perfectly clear, we're in the wrong band. Senator, let's be sincere, as much as you can. He called her up and he said, "The new prosecutor soon will be wanting a word". So, she's got a soft spot for heels and spurs and there's something believing in her voice again, said, there's something believing. Instead of just leaving, instead of just leaving, instead of just leaving and she gets her cigars from the sweet fat man.

 

I think it's perfectly clear, we're in the wrong band. Heidi says she'll be sincere, as much as she can. I called her up and I said "You know that I'm drowning". Put on your raincoat again, cause even the sun's got a price on it and there's something believing in her voice again said, there's something believing. Instead of just leaving, instead of just leaving, instead of just leaving, she said it's time to open my eyes. Don't be afraid to open my eyes, maybe she's right, maybe she's right, maybe she's right, maybe she's right.

The Waitress

I want to kill this waitress.  She's worked here a year longer then I. If I did it fast, you know that's an act of kindness.

 

Chorus: But I believe in peace, I believe in peace, bitch. I believe in peace, oh, I believe in peace. I believe in peace, bitch, I believe in peace. 

 

I want to kill this killing wish, I can't believe this violence in mind. All this power, all in a Club sandwich.

 

<Chorus>

 

I want to kill this waitress. There's too many stars and not enough sky. Boys all think she's living kindness, well ask a fellow waitress. Ask a fellow waitress.

Cornflake Girl

Never was a corkflake girl. Thought that was a good solution, hanging with the raisin girls. She's gone to the other side, giving us a yo - heave ho. Things are getting kind of gross, and I go at sleepy time. 

 

Chorus: This is not really happening. You bet your life it is, you bet your life it is. you bet your life, it is peel out the watchword, just peel out the watchword.

 

She knows what's going on. Seems we got a cheaper feel now, all the sweet teaze are gone. They're gone to the other side, with my encyclopedia. They must've paid a nice price, she's putting on her string bean love. 

 

<Chorus>

 

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys girl?

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys girl?

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys?

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, where'd you put the keys girl?

 

And the man with the Golden Gun thinks he knows so much, he thinks he knows so much. 

 

Rabbit,  where'd you put the keys girl?

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys girl?

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys?

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, where'd you put the keys girl?

 

Icicle

Icicle, Icicle, where are you going? I have a hiding place when spring marches in. Will you keep watch for me, I hear them calling? Gonna lay down. Gonna lay down.

 

Greeting the monsters in our Easter dresses. Father says Bow your head like the good book says. Well, I think the good book is missing some pages. Gonna lay down. Gonna lay down.

 

And when my hand touches myself, I can finally rest my head. And when they to say take of his body, I think I'll take from mine instead.

 

Getting off, getting off, while they're downstairs singing prayers, sing away. He's in my pumpkin p.j.'s. Lay your book on my chest. Feel the word, feel the word, feel the word, feel it. I would have, I should have, could have flown, you know that. I would have, I could have, I didn't, so. 

 

Icicle, icicle, where are you going? I have a hiding place when spring marches in. Will you keep watch for me, I hear them calling? Gonna lay down. Gonna lay down. Lay down. Gonna lay down.

Cloud on my tongue

Someone's knocking on my kitchen door. Leave the world outside. Well, all the girls here are freezing cold. Leave me with your Borneo, I said, I don't need much to keep me warm but don't stop now what you're doing, what you're doing my ugly one. Bring them all here. hard to hide a, a hundred girls in your hair. 

 

It won't be fair if I hate herm if I ate her. You can go now, you can go now, you can go now, you can go now. 

 

You're already in there I'll be wearing your tattoo You're already in there.

 Got a cloud sleeping on my tongue. He goes then it goes. And kiss the violets as they're waking up. Leave me with your Borneo. I said leave me the way I was before.

 

You're already in there I'll be wearing you tattoo. I'm already in circles and circles and circles again. The girl's in circles and circles and got to stop spinning. Circles and circles and circles again. Thought I was over the bridge now. Over the bridge now.

Space Dog

Way to go, Mr. Microphone. Show us all what you don't know. Centuries secretsocieties he's our commander still, space dog. 

 

So sure we were onto something your feet are finally on the ground he said so sure we were on something your feet are just on the ground girl.

 

Rain and snow our engines have been receiving your eager call. There's Colonel Dirtyfishydishcloth, he'll distract her good don't worry so. 

 

And to the one you thought was on your side, she can't understand she truly believes the lies.

 

Lemon Pie he's coming through our commander still Space dog. Lines secure Space dog.

 

Deck the halls, I'm young again, I'm you again. Racing turtles the grapefruit is winning seems I keep getting this story twisted, so where's Neil when you need him? Deck the halls
it's you again, it's you again. Somewhere someone must know the ending. Is she still pissing in the river now? Heard she'd gone, and moved into a trailer park.

 

So sure we were on something (so sure those girls now are in the Navy).
Your feet finally on the ground he said (those bombs our friends can't even hurt you now).
So sure we were on something (and hold those tears cause they're still on your side).
Your feet just on the ground girl (don't hear the dogs barking).

So sure we were on something (don't say you know we've gone Andromeda).
Your feet finally on the ground he said (stood with those girls before).
So sure we were on something (the hair in pairs it just got nasty).
Your feet are just on the ground (and now those girls are gone).

Yes Anastasia

I know what you want the magpies have come.
If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use.

 

Make them go make it go. Saw her there in a restaurant, Poppy don't go.
I know your mother is a good one, but, Poppy don't go. I'll take you home.

 

Show me the things I've been missin. Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking.
Show me the ways to get back to the garden. Show me the ways to get around the get around, show me the ways to button up buttons That have forgotten their buttons. Well we can't have that forgetting that. Girls, girls what have we done, what have we done to ourselves, yes.

 

Driving on the vine. Over clothes lines. But officer I saw the sign.

 

Thought I'd been through this in 1919. Counting the tears of ten thousand men. I gathered them all but my feet are slipping. There's something we left on the windowsill. There's something we left, yes. 

 

We'll see how brave you are. We'll see how fast you'll be running. We'll see how brave you are. Yes, Anastasia.


And all your dollies have friends.

 

Thought she deserved no less than she'd give. Well, happy birthday her blood's on my hands. It's kind of a shame cause I did like that dress. It's funny the things that you find in the rain, the things that you find yes. In the mall and in the date mines, in the knot still in her hair. On the bus I'm on my way down, on my way down, all the girls seem to be there.

 

We'll see how brave you are. We'll see how fast you'll be running. We'll see how brave you are. Yes, Anastasia.

 

Come along now little darlin'. Come along now with me. Come along now little darlin', we'll see how brave you are.
