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 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
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind

We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much 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 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
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind
On my mind in Baltimore


Blue Skies

Yeah...
Those blue skies are ahead
Blue skies in my head
All the town clocks
And marching soldiers 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

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...


Butterfly

Stinky soul get a little lost in my own
Hey General, need a little love in that hole of yours
So one ways now and Saturdays now and our kittens
All wrapped in cement
From cradle to gumdrop
Got me running girl as fast as I can
And is it right, Butterfly,
They like you better framed and dried

Daddy dear, if I can kill one man why not two?
Well, nurses smile when you got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes.
And pompoms and cherry blondes
And their kittens still wrapped in cement
From God's saviors to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as I can and
Is it right, Butterly,
They like you better framed and dried

Got a pretty pretty garden
Pretty garden, yes
Got me a pretty pretty garden
A pretty garden, yes
Got me a pretty pretty garden
A pretty garden


For Mark

She needs to sleep
Like the ocean
She needs to dream
Like that boy down in the stratum
Don't know where he's about
But I'm sure he knows one-armed sports
I need to be in this body
I need to breathe
I need no need but one
And it's gonna be here like it never was
Like it never was
He's got girls on his fingers
Little doe eyes
Making ringers ring off the phone
Tell her you know what she's been thinking
'Cause I need only one
Only one sugar plum, I said
You are gonna see
I'm ready to be
Just with the one
With the blue blue notions emotions...


Gary's Girl

I'm gonna be Gary's girl
Six in the mornin'
My hands are roamin'
Cause I'm Gary's girl
There's a little bit of heaven on 92.7
When you're Gary's girl
The boy knows how to tune me in
My friends all call me Gary's girl
He's just just just just so happening
You bet your life he is
You bet your life he is
You bet your life
He's a peel
Not a banana
He's a peel
Not a banana

I think I'll be Gary's girl
We're all alone with this microphone
So I'm Gary's girl
He's comin' around cause I'm goin' down
That's stretching it Gary (*comment made to gary, slipped in during the song*)
To Gary's world
The boy knows how to tune me in
My friends all call me Gary's girl
Cause he's just so so so happening
You bet your life he is
You bet your life he is
You bet your life
He's a peel
Not a banana
Still a peel
Not a banana
And he is and he is and he is and he is....


Happy Worker (words and music by Trevor Horn)

Laughing at the smoke from the factory chimney
Marching to the beat that's hot within me
Heigh ho
Hey ho
We're off to work again
Bells are ringing
We are singing
Joyous in our registry

I love my job
He loves his job
Pull that lever
Start the engine
Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

It's the perfect job

Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers

(CHORUS REPEATS)


I Wanna Get Back With You (Tori Amos and Tom Jones)

I was a fool to say the things I said, I just lost my head
Made you cry, made you go
I didn't mean to be so cold
I had no right mistreating you that way
In a whole, how could I known the price I'd pay?
Sorry I ever caused you pain
Sorry I said those hurtful things
But baby, all that really matters now
Is I wanna get back with you
Just give me one more try
I wanna get back with you
Just stop this hurt inside
I gotta get back with you
I've been walking down these cold and lonely streets
I've been losing sleep
Had to prove I was strong, but every night just proves me wrong
And to think I have heaven right here in my hand
In a whole, just let it slip away like sand
Gimme one chance to make it right
One more chance back in your life
Cause baby, all that really matters now
Is I wanna get back with you
Just give me one more try
I wanna get back with you
Just stop this hurt inside
I gotta get back with you
I wanna get back with you
Hold me just like before
I wanna get back with you
Taking me somewhere warm
I gotta get back with you
Baby, I'd give my soul just to hold you one more time
Just to look into your eyes 'cause right now, I'm half alive
No matter what I do, there's no living without you
Can't you see that I wanna get back with you?
Just give me one more try
I wanna get back with you
Just stop this hurt inside
I gotta get back with you
Hold me just like before
Taking me somewhere warm
I wanna get back with you, babe
I wanna get back with you, baby
I wanna get back, I gotta get back with you
Take me back
Just give me one more try
Give me one more try, baby
Just stop this hurt inside
Can't you see how much I need you?
I need you, babe
Hold me just like before
Take me back just one more time,darling
Don't you close the door
Taking me somewhere warm
I wanna be back in your arms
Just give me one more try
In your light, in your heart
Just stop this hurt inside
I need you, baby
I need you right now
Hold me just like before
Right now
Can't stay away from you no more
Taking me somewhere warm


Little Drummer Boy (traditional)

Come, they told me, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
The newborn King you'll see, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom.
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
To lay before the King, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
So to honor him, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom, when we come.

Little baby, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
I am a poor boy too, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
I have no gift to bring, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
That's fit to give our King, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
So to honor him, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom, I'll play my drum.


Merman

Go to bed
The priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed
The priests are dead
Finally you're in Peppermint Land

He's a merman
He doesn't need your voice
He's a merman

Go to bed
Dream instead
And you will find him
He's a merman eternally
Doesn't need something you're not willing to give
He's a merman
Doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice

Go to bed
The priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed
The priests are dead
Finally you found him -lala la
Who could ever say you're not simply wonderful?
Who could ever harm you?
Sleep now
You're my little girl

Go to bed
The priests are dead
And go ahead and sing it again
Go to bed
Past the apple orchard
And you'll feel nice
Two can play,
I said, two can play


Rubies and Gold (unreleased)

Rubies and gold
Star of my moonlight
Warmer then roses in spring
The kingdoms were sold
To hold their beauty, well
I'd sell my life anyway
Just to say I held their heart in my arms
There's strength in my soul

Rubies and gold
You are to me
You're a jewel upon my chest
Warming my heart with your kisses
A peacefull way to rest
Fulfilling my life long wishes

And silently you're watching me
Stroking my face with your hand
Your eyes are deep yet filled with tears
I've never seen so much love in a man

Rubies and gold
Star of my moonlight
Warmer than roses in spring
The kingdoms were sold
To hold their beauty, well
I'd sell my life anyway
Just to say I held their heart in my arms
There's strength in my soul

Rubies and Gold
You are to me


Siren

And you know you're gonna lie to you
In your own way

Know know too well
Know the chill
Know she breaks
My siren

NEVER was one
For a prissy girl
Coquette
Call in for an ambulance
Reach high
Doesn't mean she's holy
Just mean she's got a cellular handy
Almost brave
Almost pregnant
Almost in love
Vanilla

And you know you're gonna lie to you
In your own way


Whoomp There It Is (KROQ session)

Whoomp there it is
There she goes again
In the bathroom with her shoes on
Whoomp there it is
With a Kevin and Bean
A cookie in the oven
And a shimmy in my sceen...
I said
Whoomp there it is
I tell ya what she knows
I'm coming back
To L.A. in the mornin'
It's a bit shaking
These days ya know
But they always knew how
To rock 'n' roll
I said
Whoomp there it is
I gotta end this song
I don't know what's coming
With my lyrics...go on
I said
It's over now
Uh-huh
