See a girl walkin' down the street
Just the kind of girl that I'd like to meet
It ain't her hair, her clothes, her feet
Somethin' much more discreet
Now I ain't loud baby I ain't proud
I just want what I'm not allowed
Movin on up & help myself

How will I stand the summer
When spring was such a bummber
How will I weather my winter
When my fall was such a ballbuster
It's spring and there'll be no spring fling
When my winter was what a winner
And I am taking a fall
'Cause if I ain't got you I got nothing at all

Da-a-ay after da-a-ay
I will walk and I will play
But the day after today
I will stop
and I will start

Why can't I get just one kiss?
Why can't I get just one kiss?

Do you like American music
I like American music
Don't you like American music baby

I want you to hold me
I want your arms around me
I want you to hold me baby

I'm living in a bad dream.
They're supposed to be here by now.
What the hell is taking them so long?
I parked the car just like they said.
Now, I'm sitting, waiting for a bullet in my head.
I'm living in a bad dream.
I'm living in a bad dream.
I'm living in a bad dream gone bad.

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out.

Let me go on like I
Blister in the sun

Now every once in a while
There's a crack in my smile
Dark voices are talking to me
Dark voices tell me the way
It's suppose to be

They said, "Breakin' up."
They said, "It's hard to do."

You can bump and grind.
Have a good time.
You can twist and shout.
Let it all hang out,
but you won't fool the children of the revolution.
No you won't fool the children of the revolution.

You can tell a plane, in the falling rain.

Color me once,
Color me twice,
Everything gonna trun out nice.
Everlasting love, you gotta keep me from these false alarms
Alarm, alarm I seem so sad.
Ring, ring I see her I'm glad.
Maybe, maybe the fire of her desire
Patience, patience said the man,

People worry, what are they worrying about today
Seems like there's a good reason to worry worry worry
Seems like there's a damn good reason to worry worry worry
I'd sit around, I'd listen to your story
If I wasn't in such a hurry hurry hurry
And I'm so lonely, I don't think I can take it anymore
And I'm so lonely, I just don't know what to do
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna crawl away and die

I had me a wife
I had me some daughters
I tried so hard
I never knew still waters
Nothin to eat and nothin to drink
Nothin for a man to do but sit around and think
Nothin for a man to do but sit around and think

I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space

And when you’re out there, without care
Yeah I was out of touch
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough

Dahmer is Dead
Dahmer is Dead.
A broomstick bashed him upside his head.
Upside the head, upside the head.
Bloody broomstick.
Dahmer is dead.
Am I supposed to feel outrage?
Am I supposed to feel sorrow?

Three women in thirty days
Tell me seriously
Our dating days are over and done
Our dating days are dead and gone

Thirty women in three days
Tell me permanently
Our dating days, our dating days

Give me time
To realise my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced
Inside your eyes
How can I be real?
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

There's something that I, I can't say
Something that guys don't like to hear anyway
It's not that I don't love you
And it's not that I can't cry, 'cause I wanna cry I love you when I think
That everything and everyone I love will die
Fast Horses
Racing around the track
Although the course is slow

I hope you got fat
I hope you got really fat
cause if you got really realy fat
you just might want to see me come back
I hope you got fat

I don't care I don't care
ah how heavy how skinny

I've been following women, all afternoon
Don't turn around too soon
I've been following you all afternoon
Following you a fool in the full moon

Something's got a hold on me, when I get a hold of you
Following women after dark
Nobody knows what's in my heart

Some magnet attract
Some magnets repel
Some magnets say:
Hey hey what the hell
I'll take it both ways
First you come and then you go
And hen you turn around
And P.A.Y.S.

Come on dad gimme the car tonight
Come on dad gimme the car tonight
I got this girl I wanna....

Come on dad gimme the car
Come on dad gimme the car tonight
I tell'ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna pick her up

beautfil girl,
love the dress
high school smiles,
oh yes
Beautfil girl,
love the dress
where she is now I can only guess
Cause it's gone daddy gone,

Good feeling
won't you stay with me just a little longer
it always seems like your leaving
when I need you here just a little longer
dear lady there's so many things
that I have come to fear
little voice says I'm going crazy
to see all my worlds disappear

the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
(hosea 9:7)

Everyone's trying to decide,
Where to go when there's no place to hide.
I follow the bombs as they're coming down.
This must have been hallowed ground.

He likes me
he likes me
ooh... isn't that nice
he likes me
he likes me
ooh... isn't that nice
that your brand new friend
he likes your old true friend

I danced before I had two feet.
Sang before I had a tongue.
I laughed before I had two eyes.
Loved before my heart was young.
I swam before I had two hands
and held the distance in my toes.
Before I heard the stars I knew
the wild compulsion of the rose.

I'm gnawing on the knowledge
That I have been burnt
And I'm learning things that I
Should've already learnt
Everyone I ever knew
Was so kind and coy
I was with a girl
But it felt like I was with a boy

I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say
yesterdays a day away.
Nothing I can do to make it stay like that.
Ain't that a fact.

I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say
I just can't handle things this way.
I know it's late, but I'd like to stay a while, see you smile.

I Swear It (I Can Change)
Violent Femmes

Some people say that I'm a bad guy
They may be right,
They may be wrong
But it's not as if I don't try,
I just mess up

Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, bad, bad, bad

I was bad born, I'd be badder when I die
I'm bad when I am sober, I'm badder when I'm high
I'm bad when I feel good, I'm bad when I'm blue
I'm bad to myself, so I'll be bad to you

I'm free and I'm happy
I am free from your hatred
I've parted from the part
that I participated in
so I'm free it was easy
I know nothing of your hatred
I've known and shone the light
and the darkness abated

I-M-N-O-T-H-I-N
I-M-N-O-T-H-I-N
I'm nothing'
I'm nothin'
Are you a republican or a democrat
A liberal fascist full of crap
I'm nothin'
I'm nothin'

Now who, who, who do you think I am?
Well, I built this ark with Japheth, Shem, and Ham.
Now what, what, what do you think it's gonna do
when I live by faith and now my work is through?

It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
I said it's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
Yes, It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain.)

Christ the Redeemer towering high over Rio... Rio de Janeiro. Rio...
Christ the Redeemer towering high over Rio... Rio de Janeiro. Rio...

Where they held a summit to save the world, and to mark the time when development,
As traditionally understood, had failed, and the affluent North raping the South,
Investment from the North means economic bondage for the South...

Under the burden of debt payments, I was with a whore in Copenhagan,

Kiss Off
I need someone, a person to talk to
Someone who'd care to love
Could it be you
Could it be you

Situation gets rough
Then I start to panic

Step one, I did it for fun
It was a simple way to start
Lights out, what's it all about?
I only got one cheek to turn
Some do it for the summit la cumbre,
Some do it for the climb
Some people know when to settle down

Hey sister, have you heard?
Some people stand like trees, without a word
And what that means is that some people don’t talk.

Oh please pardon me mister.
Ya know I just didn’t hear you the first time that you said that,
But now that you repeat for me, I’ll be sure to do what I can.
Ya know I’m going to do what I can,

I don't wanna see my brother die
We don't want no killing Lord
I don't wanna to see my sister cry
I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see I I I I I
I know that bad things are going down
I, I know that loneliness is all around
I know that the world is starved for love

Old Mother Reagan and her crew took away from me and you!
I hope she goes far away, she better go far away...
Y'know it ain't right when it's all wrong,
This is the Old Mother Reagan protest song.
Old Mother Reagan -- she's so dumb! She's so dangerous!
How come she don't go far away, she better go far away...
Old Mother Reagan went to heaven, but at the pearly gates, she was stopped!

life was fun, life was great
till I made my big mistake
oh no it'll never happen to me
life was short
and life was sweet
I was thinking as I hit the street
I could hardly beleve
I could scarcely conceive

Tell you man, I?m stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead, she never see the tears I cry

Said, please, please, please, do not go
Please, please, please, do not go
Please, please, please, do not go

Y'know that I want your loving
but my logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen
and then my defense'd say I did't want it anyway
but you know sometimes I'm a lier
could you ever want me to love you
could you ever want me to care
disregard my nervousness
please ignore my vacant stares

Just last night
I was reminded of
just how bad
it had gotten and
just how sick
I had become
but it could change
with this relationship

Rejoice & be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do.
Rejoice & be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate.

Blessed are you who are persecuted too, for righteousness & the good that you do, if in the bread you put a little leaven, the Kingdom is yours & it's the Kingdom of Heaven.

Rejoice & be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do.
Rejoice & be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate.

See my ships, they are sailing
In and out of the harbor
Will they go together
Or must they stay apart?
Yes, I know it's in my heart

Surely you see what's inside of me
Jesus is coming soon

You smile,
because you know.
You smile,
because you know.
You smile,
I told you so.
Come on give me a smile,
I'm gonna let you know.

This tea's too strong for me
As I await your company
I had too much sun today
Ocean waters wash away
Nothing but the present
Presenting its presence
This island life
Separate my right from my wrong

Ain't had no fun
All the time jacking around
Ain't had no fun
All the time messin? mind

I kick it around
But if it's alright with you
If it's alright, yes I will

Crossed the path, then I followed your face
It was hard to believe, it was hard to trace
I saw you today, seems like I see your everyday
But there's something I figured out 'bout you...

You're so ugly -- I'm tellin' you straight
You're so ugly -- don't make a mistake
'Cause you ugly -- you can bet it on the bank

You got the mother and her kids,
You got the guy and his date.
We all get mad,
We all get late.
Looks like somebody forgot about us,
Standing on the corner waiting for a bus.

Say, "hey mr. driverman...don't be slow,
