Tear In Your Hand

All the world just stopped now
So you say you don't wanna stay together anymore
Let me take a deep breath babe
If you need me, me and Neil'll be
Hangin' out with the Dream King

Neil says hi by the way
I don't believe you're leaving cause
Me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream
I think it's that girl and I think
There're pieces of me you've never seen
Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well

All the world is
All I am
The black of the blackest ocean
And that tear in your hand
All the world is danglin'... danglin'... danglin' for me darlin'
You don't know the power that you have
With that tear in your hand
That tear in your hand

Maybe I ain't used to maybes
Smashing in a cold room cutting my hands
up every time I touch you
Maybe maybe it's time to wave goodbye now
Time to wave goodbye now

Caught a ride with the moon
I know I know you well well better than I used to
Haze all clouded up my mind
In the daze of the why it could've never been
So you say and I say you know you're full of wish
And your "baby baby baby babies"
I tell you there're pieces of me you've never seen
Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well

All the world is
All I am
The black of the blackest ocean
And that tear in your hand
All the world is danglin'... danglin'... danglin' for me darlin'
You don't know the power that you have
With that tear in your hand
That tear in your hand

With that tear in your hand
Tear in

Me And A Gun

5am friday morning thursday night far from sleep
I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live
Got a full tank and some chips

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang "Holy Holy" as he buttoned down his pants

You can laugh
Its kind of funny
Things you think
Times like these
Like I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread for you, your friends
Your father, Mr. Ed

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And I know what this means
Me and Jesus a few years back used to hang
And he said "it's your choice babe just remember
I don't hink you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well"
Tell me whats right
Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And do you know Carolina
Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through your head when there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach it's not a classic Caddilac

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

Little Earthquakes

Yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing
Good year for hunters and Christmas parties
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate elevator music
The way we fight
The way I'm left here silent

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

We danced in graveyards with vampires till dawn
We laughed in the faces of king never afraid to burn
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate disintegration

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
Can't reach you

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me myself again

Oh these little earthquakes

Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

 

UNDER THE PINK

Pretty Good Year

Tears on the sleeve of a man
Don't want to be a boy today
Heard the eternal footman
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
Maybe not so now you're 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

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're 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're crazy maybe 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

[Give not thy strength unto women
Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings]

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

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

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's on its way

And through the walls they made their mudpies
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 of
So they went years and years
Like sisters 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's on its way
Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls
Brothers and lovers she and I were
Now she seems to be sand under his shoes
There's nothing I can do
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what's on its 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 at each other like blankettes
Who can't find their thread and their bare

Can't stop loving
Can't stop what is on its way
And I see it coming
And it's on its way

Past The Mission

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

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
I smell the roses

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

Hey they found a body
Not sure it was his
Still they're using his name
And she gave him shelter
And somewhere I know she knows
Somewhere I know she knows
Somethings only she knows

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 L.A.
He says that behind my eyes I'm hiding
And he tells me I pushed him away
That my heart's been hard to find

Here
There must be something here
There must be something here
Here

Baker baker can you explain
If truly his heart was made of icing
And I wonder how mine would taste
Maybe we could change his mind

I know you're late for your next parade
You came to make sure that I'm not running
Well I ran from him in all kinds of ways
Guess it was her turn this time

Time
Thought I'd make friends with time
Thought we'd be flying
Maybe not this time

Baker baker baking a cake
Make me a day
Make me whole again
And I wonder if he's ok
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 we 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 believin' in her voice again
Said there's something believin'
Instead of just leavin

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 believin' in her voice again
Said there's something believin' in her voice
Instead of just leavin

She said it's time I open my eyes
Don't be afraid to open your eyes
Maybe she's right
Maybe she's right
Maybe she's right
Maybe she's right

The Waitress

So I want to kill this waitress
She's worked her a year longer than I
If I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness

But I believe in peace
I believe in peace, bitch
I believe in peace

I want to kill this waitress
I can't believe this violence in mind
And is her power all in her club sandwich

I want to kill this killing wish
They're too many stars and not enough sky
Boys all think she's living kindness
Ask a fellow waitress
Ask a fellow waitress

Cornflake Girl

Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hangin with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
Givin us a yo heave ho
Things are getting kind of gross
And I go at sleepy time
This is not really happening
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 sweeteaze are gone
Gone to the other side
With my encyclopedia
They musta paid her a nice price
She's puttin on her string bean love
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is

And the man with the golden gun
Thinks he knows so much

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 monster 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 say take from his body
I think I'll take from mine instead

Getting off getting off while they're all 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 it

I could have flown
You know I could have

Cloud On My Tounge

Someone's knockin on my kitchen door
Leave the wood outside
What all the girls here are freezing cold
Leave me with your Borneo
I don't need much to keep me warm

Don't stop now what you're doing
What you're doing my ugly one
Bring them all here
Hard to hide a hundred girls in your hair
It won't be fair if I hate her
If I ate her
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
Leave me the way I was before

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

Somewhere someone must know the ending
Is she still pissing in the river now

Moved into a trailer park

Your feet finally on the ground he said
[those bombs our friends can't even hurt you now]
So sure we were on something

Girls girls what have we done to ourselves
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
And gathered them all

There's something we left on the windowsill
There's something we left yes

We'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are

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
In the mall and in the date mines
In the knots still in her hair
On the bus I'm on my way down
All the girls seem to be there

Come along now little darlin'
Come along now with me
Come along now little darlin'

*~* Little Amsterdam *~*

Little Amsterdam
In a southern town,
Hominy, get it on the plate, girl.

Momma, keep your head down.
Momma, it wasn't my bullet.

Don't take me back to the Range,
Back to the Range,
I'm just comin' out of the cell in my brain.

Don't, boy, take my back to the Range,
Back to the Range.
Cause girl you got to know these days,
which side you're on.

Momma got shit.
She loved a brown man.
She built a bridge in the Sheriff's bed.
She'd do anything to save her man.
You see, her olives, they are cold pressed.
And her best friend is a sun dress.

But Momma,
it wasn't my bullet.

Don't take me back to the Range,
Back to the Range,
I'm just comin' out of the cell in my brain.

Don't, boy, take me back to the Range,
Back to the Range.
Cause girl you got to know these days.

Hop on, I've got a girl in the city.
Hey, got a room and a place for two.
Got a coat and I found myself.
For, boy, you want my Fifth Avenue?

Round and a round and a round I go.
Round and a round this time for keeps.
Round and a round and a round I go.

Round and a round this time for keeps.
Father, only you can save my soul.
And playing that organ must count for something.
Girl you got to know these days....

Little Amsterdam.
Shut down today.
They buried her with a
butter bean bouquet.
And the Sheriff now, can't ride away
like he said, into the sunset.
And I won't say,
he shouldna paid.

But Momma,
it wasn't my bullet.

*~* Talula *~*

Congratulate you.
Said you had a double tongue.
Balancing cake and bread.
Say goodbye to a glitter girl.

You don't want to lose her.
She must be worth losing
if it is worth something.

Talula
Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your paposse.
Your little Fig Newton.

Say goodbye to the baby, glitter girl.
Say goodbye to the old world.

Ran into the henchman who severed
Anne Boleyn.
he did it right quickly, a merciful man.
She said 1 + 1 is 2,
but Henry said that it was 3
so it was.
Here I am.

You don't want to lose her.
She must be worth losing

Wrapped in your paposse.

And Jamaica,
do you know, do you know what I have done?
Mary M weaving on
said what you want is in the blood Senators
said what you want is in the blood Senators, yes.

I got Big Bird on the fishing line.
With a bit of a shout a bit of a shout,
a bit of an angry snout.

He's my favourite hooker of the whole bunch.
And I know about his only Bride.
And how the Russians die on the ice.
I got my rape hat on,
Honey, but I always could accessorise.
And I never cared too much for the money,
but I know right now, honey,
That's it's in God's hands,
but I don't know who the Father is.

Talula
Talula
You don't want to lose her.
She must be worth losing
if it is worth something.

She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your paposse.
Your little Fig Newton.

*~* Not The Red Baron *~*

Not the Red Baron,
Not Charlie Baron.
Think I got the message figured.
Another pilot down.
are their devils with halos
in beautiful capes
taking them into the flames.

not Judy G
Not Jean, Jean, Jean with a hallowed heart.
I see that screen go,
down in the flames,
with every step, with every beautiful heel pointed.

Not the Red Baron, I'm sure
Not Charlie's wonderful dog.
Not anyone I really know.
Just another pilot down.
Maybe I'll just sing him a last.
Little sound many there know some girls
with red ribbons

*~* Doughnut Song *~*

Hand me a trick and a drink and your message.
you never gain weight from a doughnut hole.
Then, thought that I could decipher your message.
There's no one here,
no one at all.

And if I'm wasting all your time,
this time.
Maybe you never learned to take.
And if I'm hanging on to your shade.
I guess I'm way beyond the pale.

And southern men can grow cold
Can grow pretty.
Blood can be pretty
Like a delicate man.

Copper to steel to a hinge that is faltered
that let's you in let's you in let's you in.
Something's just keeping you numb.

And if I'm wasting all your time,
this time.
Maybe you never learned to take.
And if I'm hanging on to your shade.
I guess I'm way beyond the pale.

You told me last night.
You were a sun now with your own
devoted satellite.
Happy for you
and I am sure that I hate you.
Two sons too many
too many able fires.

And if I'm wasting all your time,
this time.
Maybe you never learned to take.
And if I'm hanging on to your shade.
I guess I'm way beyond the pale.
Guess I'm way beyond the pale.

Hand me a trick and a drink and your message.
You never gain weight from a doughnut hole.

*~* In The Springtime Of His Voodoo *~*

Standin on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
and I'm quite sure I'm in the wrong song.
2 girls 65 got a piece tied up in the back seat.
Honey, we're Recovering Christians

In the Springtime of his voodoo.
He was going to show me spring.

And right there for a minute.
I knew you so well.
And right there for a minute.
I knew you so well.

Got an angry snatch,
Girls you know what I mean.
When swivellin' that hip doesn't do the trick.
Me pureed sanitarily
Mr. Sulu
Warp speed
Warp speed

In the Springtime of his Voodoo.
In the Springtime of his Voodoo.

Every road leads back to my door.
Every road I will follow.
Every road leads back to my door.
Got all your crosses loaded.

And I know she's not that
Foxy,
Boys.
I said I know she's not so
Foxy, but
You gotta own something sometimes.
You gotta owe.
when you're your momma's sunshine.
You've got to give something sometimes
when you're the sweetest cherry
in an apple pie.
I need some voodoo on these prunes.

In the Springtime of his voodoo.
In the Springtime of his voodoo.
He was going to show me spring.

*~* Putting The Damage On *~*

Glue,
Stuck to my shoe.
Does anyone know why,
you play with an orange rind?
You say you packed my things
and divided what was mine.

You're off to the mountain top.
I say her skinny legs could use sun.

But, now I'm wishing,
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson.
But, now I've got to worry
cause, boy, you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage
when you're putting the damage on.

Don't make me scratch on your door.
I never left you
for a Banjo.
I only just turned around for a poodle
and a corvette.

and my impression
of my best Angie Dickinson.
But, now, I've got to worry
cause, boy, you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on.

I'm trying not to move,
it's just your ghost
passing through.
I said
I'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost passing through,
it's just your ghost passing through,
and now I'm quite sure...

There's a light in your platoon.
I've never seen a light move
like yours.
Can do to me,

so now I'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson,
but, now, I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
to me,
but, I've got a place to go.
I've got a ticket to your late show.

And now I'm worrying cuase even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage,
yes,
when you're putting the damage,
you're just so pretty.
When you're putting the damage on....

*~* Twinkle *~*

Sure that star can twinkle
and you're watching it do
Boy so hard, Boy so hard,
But I know a girl
twice as hard.
And I'm sure
said I'm sure
She's watching it to.

No matter what tie she's got in her right dresser
tied
I know she's watching that star.

Gonna twinkle.
Gonna twinkle.
Gonna twinkle.

And last time I knew
she worked in a Abbey in Iona
She said "I killed a man
I've gotta stay hidden in this Abbey"

but, I can see that star
when she twinkles
and she twinkles
and I sure can.
That means
I sure can.

That means
I sure can
so hard.
So hard.

A Case Of You
by Joni Mitchell

From: Cornflake Gifl Limited Edition UK single & More Pink

Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as the northern star."
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cotton coaster
In the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice.

In my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid.
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.

My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him
But be prepared to bleed"

My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet


Alamo

From: Talula UK single

Oh, Alamo
Heard all about your fandango
Banged on my knees, on your bay door
Only to wake you, to blues on the way
Blues on the way, Blues on the way

Embarcadere
Figures you'll see me as a older
23 hours till 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 ??
Make it a plane
Somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take mine
My chances

Alamo
Wish I could do what God does
Heard that the stars were in order
God you served out a hand with two queen of spades
And blues on the way
Blues on the way
Tears on my pillow
Of course theyr'e not mine
Alter that altar
Make him a plane
Somebody, just somebody, invent the telephone line
I'll take mine
My chances

Home On The Range

(Cherokee addition)

From: Pretty Good Year Limited Edition UK single & God UK single

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 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 on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word

Never Seen Blue


Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator
Got a little red line
That tells you, boy
Where the razor's been

You said, girl if you think
You can turn that violator
You'll finally be that woman
Yes, finally be that woman
That's been frozen in that pretty silver girl

And I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Said I've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Some boy you are
To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
Wear it like a lady knows how to cross her legs
Where a birdy's been

I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Said I've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Through me yes

Say goodbye

Take To The Sky

From: Winter US & UK single & More Pink

This house is like Russia
With eyes cold and grey
You got me moving 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
There she goes again
Wearing those purple panties
There she goes again
Wearing her heart
There she goes again
Why do you take it

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

Wrapped Around Your Finger

Lyrics by: Sting

From: In concert

You may consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes.
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring on your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge,
Things they wouldn't teach me in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name
But I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
Then you will find your servant is your master

And you'll be wrapped around my finger...
