worst case scenario (first draft)
---------------------------------

my dynamo, dynamo
it's hard to keep the animal
from driftin' away nowadays
the horror, the pain, let's get into details
the bass, the piano, the friction of dynamo
the first draft of a worst case scenario

every thought *  that's some way of keeping the flavor
like their going for the brain to chew on
compatible lies and as dead as a dice
it's the thing between nowhere and the opposite side
it's the something hidden behind the eloquent/elegant? surface
father of fuckups you did it on purpose!

i decline to believe that it's personal
hey, i know that you do and i'll hold it against you
it's the bald man's dream to grow hair, baby
but a lame don't need legs, he needs a wheelchair

so if you're to busy in having too much to offer
and you can not decide where to go
do the low yo yo, take a swing at the dynamo
on a day like this it's hard to keep the animal from drifting away

one-liner: the greeks had it carved in
a tombstone. 'epigram' they said 'last
tribute to the dead' well the horror, the pain
and the alphabet, from a to migraine, from
nausea to z.
are you listenin' you fool?
you magnificent liar!

feel free but don't feel too comfortable
it's already quarter to three

oh they say that time presses
but time doesn't press
it's just a figure for motion and emotional unrest
it's a matter of seeing and of being seen
as far as i'm concerned time is the state of my jeans

so if you wanna come down for some hangin' around
if you wanna come down for some hangin' around (x3)

oh dynamo, dynamo
it's hard to keep the animal
from driftin' away nowadays
the horror, the pain, let's get into details
the bass, the piano, the friction of dynamo
the first draft of a worst case scenario

it's the first draft of a worst case scenario (x12)

jigsaw you
----------

fifty six falcon
across the old laundry
i tasted
jigsaw you
how i hate to see this wasted
i'm thinkin' of
a parallel
these lines won't cut
but all it takes
is finding some way to weld
some way to weld

morticiachair
-------------

now, let's talk about the time
i had this morticiachair
in my apartment
right there in front of the living room
as an open invitation to strangers.
 (a cold machine might show)
smiling like a face
waiting for a telephone call
of a beloved feline
she is in a state and it's california
she's been there for quite a while

  i've got no presents (x2)

drop the phone  take the plane  and come back home again (x5)
she knows  where she rolls  when she goes for the doorknob (x2)

by the time of my second car crash i got totally wired
like in the days i cut myself up with a razor-blade
oh nostalgia
lost myself in so many ways
i didn't know what to think of him
ah, maybe i think to much, i don't think so
fell madly in love with a couple of beautiful ears
  it's only a variation
had long and boring conversations about nothing
talked so much i bored myself to death
and the more i talk, the more i turn into a vegetable

god i'm such a fool

she knows  where she rolls  when she goes for the doorknob (x4)
  i'll behave won't you shame me    |
  i'm into deep, won't you shame me |(x2)

taste of orange
  orange
little christ
i'm in her bath-tub, consulted
consulted (x3)

she knows  where she rolls  when she goes for the doorknob (x4)
  i'll behave won't you shame me    |
  i'm into deep, won't you shame me |(x4)

right as rain
-------------

i'm the same by name
i had a friend called 'generous bilby'
he was the same by name
his only advice was that he died
while i did a little dance
dust to dust the preacher sighted
i did a little cry

on adjourn by name
last there and long
it's not fair to blame me, for not believing what i saw
his only advice was that i danced in the shiny white shirt
he should have known
i'd be the last, to be there first

right as rain

tombstone and the damage done
how beautiful the naked skin
how beautiful it glows
this is where the bleeding stops
and this is what it shows
it has turned into a scar, the same
just the same, the same

but anyway
this is where the sane will park
his foot upon your toes

i'm a man my name
had a friend called 'deadly bilby'
but he slipped away

and he said:
"poor me out some whiskey man,
 there's something you should know.
 the person that you take me for,
 was buried long ago..."

right as rain

tombstone and the damage done
how beautiful the poetry
how beautiful the prose
this is where the story ends
and this is where it goes
it just turned into an alibi

but anyway
this is where the sane will park
his foot upon your toes

mute

i, i knew a girl and she was a joker
her hair was nicotine-brown
and eyes of a joker

her grass has a pale ginger green
whatever that means

together we
saw they were building a building
alone i see
the building is there

her grass has a pale ginger green
whatever that means

your mind goes (x3)
this has nothing to do with you
it's just the way that i turn to you

your mind goes (x3)
cause this has nothing to do with you
it's just the way that i turn to you

you see i
i knew this girl and she was a joker
and if she was so big
i guess i would smoke her

her grass has a pale ginger green
she knows what it means

your mind goes (x3)
well this has nothing to do with you
it's just the way that i turn to you

your mind goes (x3)
and this has nothing to do with you

  i'm calling it off            |
  i'm taking it low             |
  i'm staying ahead of our soul |(x4)

your mind goes (x3)

*

crawl so damn low

  i'm calling it off - Your mind goes
  i'm taking it low - Your mind goes
  i'm staying ahead of our soul - Your mind goes

let's get lost
--------------

let's get lost...
all right, all right
let's get lost...
all right

a place
where we can go

  ask your money
  get your money
  on a stool

let's get lost...

it's kinda early but the story's told

hotellounge
-----------

"this elevator only takes one down", she said,
"this place, this hotel lounge
 it's my daily bread...
 but i'm underfed"

he asked:
"are you living in the night?
 cause i can tell you have a lousy imagination
 and as a matter of speaking
 i hate this situation...
 but it happens to be one of my pickin'"

"cause it's so hard
 to keep the dream alive
 cause if it all comes down to this
 how will..."

  you move me, you move me           |
  you move me around around, i guess |
  take it back your analogue         |
  it's on the other side of this     |(x2)

cause if it all comes down to this
how will...

and then she said:
"and have another cigarette"
i tend to forget (but anyway i don't smoke that shit)
i hoisted the flag
but it keeps hanging down

"you know this place, this hotel lounge
 it's my life, it's my choice
 and i'm in love
 with ricky lee jones' voice"

cause it's so hard
to keep the dream alive
and if it all comes down to this
how will...

  you move me, you move me           |
  you move me around around, i guess |
  take it back your analogue         |
  it's on the other side of this     |(x5)

  how will glamour survive? (x4)

and if it all comes down to this...

"this elevator only takes one down", she said,
"this place in this same old town"

"do you see that man
 in the left-hand corner
 do you see that woman
 their love-story's famous"

what's a smiling face and a sunburned prostate
for a man that great.

richard there, richard here,
richard quoting shakespeare,
back and forth and back again,
to be or not to be the man.

lizzy's getting dizzy, she should've known it from the
start being rich is just a lifestyle being alive
is just a part

that's what makes a kilo heavier than a gram, mam (x2)

i don't mean to be rude
great american nude

great american brown (x2)

aool smart, move fashion
and the crowning on a brown man
black is butter count the shaky hands

you see, i got it from my mother
she got it for a pop

get the clientele to form
suck a demon for a duck

i didn't mean to be rude
great american nude

hey, i didn't mean to be rude !
great american nude

  walk that walk
  i'm looking for my pop

burton in a salad bar sweet like a candy bar
no more sugar for a clean genius in quarantine

for a man that great.

secret hell
-----------

hey i know there's more to this...
but i bought you a newspaper every sunday
at the end just a huge pile of yellowed
sunday telegraphs on the windowpane

we sang three blind mice together:
"three blind mice, three blind mice
 running across the farmer's house.."

you know well
just never tell
if someone's got a secret hell

now you
you should be breakin' me
sometimes i lose my head
i don't know nothing
you should be breaking me
instead you let me hide behind your back

what goes around
will come back down
can someone get it out of town


i'm in this state
kinda late
but tell me, don't it look just great?

you
you should be haunting me
some drift get twisted before i even touch 'em
you should be scaring me
but don't i only scare myself?
so don't i only scare myself? (x5)

opening night      (barman)
-------------

i dedicate a colour to
my dearest friends and family who
so solemnly and nicely dressed
come visit me,i must confess
i feel like gena might
upon her opening night

fiery red i give my mom
my dad transparent he is gone
my sisters i give black and white
and guys i hat well fuck'em bright
my friends get shades of blue
and ginger green to you

and so the hounding begins a sudden crack on the shins whip stinging
say oh hello
you look like someone i know while sniggering up your sleeve a kid a joke
just like wee guys in a schoolyard aged five the baddest honcho alive
track down your friends to a bar trace over steps in a car say that's a
pretty excuse make mine a pineapple juice bugbears are plenty around here
give him a clip on the ear says dad infront of t.v. decide channel randomly
i feel like something coming on a funny turn or a wrong decision made
casually like dad infront of t.v. regurgitation and good tensquillion eyes
watch as you put up a pretty good fight on thhis your opening night on this
your opening night on this your opening night on this your opening night

theme from turnpike         (barman)
-------------------

he went to the bottom, put his soul on fire

new jersey turnpike riding on a wet night

maybe he got the rhyme
maybe he got the eyes
maybe he got the time counterclockwise

new jersey turnpike riding on a wet night

maybe he got the song
maybe he got the size
maybe he go it wrong counterclockwise

he said:"no more loud music"

little arithmetics  (barman)
------------------

into temptation,over in doubt
black night,neonlight into my house
talkin talking talking about
out of frustration,over in doubt

hold me now,i'm hoping that you can explain
little arithmetics
got me down,they're fooling me again and again
little arithmetics
got me down

sometimes i feel like going down south	sometimes i'm feeling alright
sometimes i feel like i'm over in doubt	sometimes i'm losing my mind
talking talking talking about 		sometimes the day is the night
into temptatio,over in doubt		sometimes i don't wanna fight

hold me now
i'm hoping that you can explain
little arithmtics
got me down,they're fooling me again and again
little arithmetics
got me down

gimme the heat		(barman,carlens,ward)
--------------

someone culd say:"i don't belong here"
no one could say:"isn't it all clear?"
i'm blowing a phrase out int the open,
out on the street, just gimme the heat

i'll suck the flame to me
i'll suck it in,i'm o.k. i should be

you cut me deep,you know how to do it
my motives are cheap,you know how to do ti
so when do we go,where do we meet
i'll give you my sorrow,you'll give me the heat

i'll suck the flame to me
i'll suck it in

some erotic feel
keeps coming on
it's so unreal
i come undone
then i look back (i find a frame already built)
when i look back (it's still waitng to be filled)
i find it had
flickered for a minute and then it was gone

someone could say:"i don't belong here"
every night,every day,just gimme the heat

some erotic feel
keeps coming up
it' so unreal
i come undone
some shady deal
despite the black
the light gets in
through every crack
then i look back (i find a frame already built)
when i look back (it's still waiting to be filled)
hy is it that (time between and no time left
why is it not (sweeter than i ever thought)
how can it last (make it last a little more)

i been around the bend
i can't remember when
but my great misery
it means a lot to me
you been around,i know
and me i'm just to slow
i'm craving more and more
gimme the heat

serpentine           (barman)
----------

i'm caught in the flow of things
my memory's a broken machine
this is how my day begins
this is just one day unseen

let's do it serpentine any time
let's do it right here

is it bad that you're good for me
did i love you just randomly?
i'm caught in the flow of sound
and you're just some melody

let's do it serpentine any time
let's do it right here

there's a cute little litany
put on my shoulder
eight o'clock and we agree
it makes me look much older

got my clockworks company
got my dark green trenchcoat on
i'm sure it will always be
someone  staying and someone gone

a shocking lack thereof  (ward,carlens,janzoons)
-----------------------

that's right i aim to please
that's right i aim to please
i am acting like some kind of victorian serf child
i have considered the possibility of trading  fluids
on the platform of the underground station
but i have watched and i have seen
and i have counted all the passers-by
me and my friend here we have been engaged
in a search for some month now
for hotels and highlights,experienced midwives
for money to turn into medicine
and what do we find?
a shocking lack thereof.but wait
(wear your moonboots,cause they suit you)
and move like elvis on the booze.
believe that you have everything to lose
that's right i aim to please
that's right i aim to please
pay a visit to the nurse to have your head deloused
talk for hours about the politics of mickey mouse
you know how it is
nighttimes,gotta get ouf the house

my life is for pleasure,a wiggle in flesh
i'm soaked and in malice,i'm all in distress
and as i was promised my life is for rage
my guide is a drunk and a female bouquet
my life's been mistaken for garbage and gold
my life is in private,i gotta move on 'till i'm old

supermarketsong             (barman,carlens)
---------------

well good evening to all my friends

i think it goes to show that the more you get,the more you got the more
you want some more

cause it's supersexy,supercool,theway they walk the avenue
but it's a sadder day than yesterday and it kinda makes them superblue
spastic sam and eric drew make supermarkets superflue
but they're just on time for the rendez-vouz

i know it goes to show that the more you get,the more you got the more
you want some more

some people go out and buy stuff they se in windows
i don't need no ring,no car,no watch
baby i got all i need

some people gou out and buy stuff they've seen in books
i don't need no leather jacket baby i'm warm
when i'm with you

memory of a festival       (barman)
--------------------

do you remeber th festival
we tool those drugs i never thought
i'd get into this pumpin' stiff
a thousand eyes won't recognise us

cause i know you and you know me
that's all you need and all i think of
i know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
so don't run into the crowd

we got on there way too soon
cause it takes some time to get the pictures
6 to 60 camera zoom oh my god i hate this mixture
of all these crazy crazy tunes that tunes
that keep on buzzin' in my head now
i know ths ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
so don't run into the crowd

do you remember the festival
in 94 with 90 fuckups
don't wanna meet all of your friends,the ones you like
the ones you'd lock up

'cause you're out there in the atmosphere
it makes me sick just to think about it
i know this ain't nothing very deep
but it's good fun so don't run into the crowd

guilty pleasures         (carlens,ward,barman)

wanting,missing,having,letting,knowing,
forgetting,showing,climbing,falling,sucking,
breathing,lying,losing,missing,

my sister
got nowhere to hide
i missed here
but deep down inside
we drive
keep our hands on the wheel
you know how it feels

in my dream,on my back,on those pills,make it till,
by the sea
you make me feel
on my left,by my side,on your lap,heavy foot,
hurt and heal
you make me feel
blinded by,ready for,always yours,cardiac,
filthy,guilty pleasure
you make me feel

my sister
got nowhere to hide
i missed here
but deep down inside
we drive
keep our hands on the wheel

nine threads          (ward)
------------

stone go slow,
find the right moment to stop the show
the nighttime gets weary of implications afterglow.
thinking:"easy come,easy go"
you got here to late,it's often so.

i guess that's why
i hope i get old before i die
admit it turned out for someone who didn't try.
thinking it's time to get a hold
you got here to late,it's always so.

disappointed in the sun          (barman)
-----------------------

who could tell the story better
about the things that i went through
some were great but ost were terrifying
and so spooky too

had to get out of there,to hide away
had to get out of there,to find my way
i troubled everything too soon
now where i want to be is...

need i say my only wish was
to escape my earthly life
high skies were no options whereas
diving deep in oceans wide

was the way for me,to hide away
a possibility,to leave today
i troubled everything to soon
now where i want to be is...

under the sea,is where i'll be
no talking 'bout the rain no more
i wonder what thunder will mean,when only in my dream
the lightning comes before the roar

circumstancial situations,now i know what people meant
beware of the implications,god i've had enough of them

decided to be brave and find a way
just picking out a wave and slide away
i troubled everything too soon
now where i want to be is...

maybe taking it another hour then taking away the pain
i troubled everything too soon now where iwant to be is...

under the sea,is where i'll be
no talking bout the rain no more
i wonder what thunder will mean,when only in my dream
the lightning comes before the roar
under the sea,down here with me i find i'm not the only one
who ponders what life would mean if we hadn't been
so disappointed in the sun

and that's why we're thinking,
that's why we're drinking in a bar under the sea

roses       (barman,carlens)
-----

rose said quote it's time to make a mess
time will be soon mine in time i guess
she's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot
and she treats me she treats me she treats me like her local god

rose said quote it's time to make a mess
this one's yours  and yours is self obsessed
she's painting on my back a green tom,the beefheart one
and she cuddles and she coos and she cut's the bullshit i confessed

she said:"don't look my way
          what can i possibly say
          i've never seen you before today
          i'm just the one that makes you think of the one
          that makes you feel the like you're the one."

          but thank you for the roses

rose said quote it's time to make a mess
remind me what it is that i do best
she's painting on my back some beautiful something sweet
and she treats me,she treats me,she beats me

rose said quote my time has come at last
ugly things through my mind they have passed
she's scratching on my back 'if ths boy believes me'
she leaves me,deceives me, and takes those flowers just to
please me...

rose don't mind where she been
she been blind
she been mine
all this time
ahe been...

thank you for the roses

wake me up before i sleep      (barman)
-------------------------

wake me up before i sleep and i'll promise that i'll concentrate
on only the last frame
cover only one sound
some kinda sweet,weird kinda strange around me

wake me up before i sleep can't you see too many colours here,
colours ther
colours everywhere
cover only ground
the blackest of blacks i don't want to surround me

there's nothing i can say,that isn't gonna be
there's nothing i can do,that isn't gonna be a mistake

wake me up before i sleep,i haven't had an inch of what i thought i got
from this awful high
cover me in one dye
just lie here with me we'll let the train go by

there's nothing i can say,that isn't gonna be
there's nothing in my way.i know it's gonna be a mistake

glovesong
---------
Her mother sells handgloves
and seems to be making a living
Her boyfriend takes lots of speed
and a little while ago he cast some kind of voodoo-spell on Stef
i got really scared, because i don't trust that South-American wizardry

You know they're both very small people
and they like to go out
but he can't dance and she never dances
One day i asked her if her mother could design
this specific kind of handglove for her spastic frame of mind

But anyway, what's it to you
One-million ways i'll pick out two
You're always high on everything
i'm so damn nervous let's begin

it needs four fingers on the one hand, i said
and six on the other
Some fingers are remarkebly smaller than others
but that's kinda not normal i guess, i mean it's natural
She gave me a velvet smile
Okay, she said, okay
i'll see what i can do,
but i won't promise anything

So anyway, what's that to you
One-million ways i'll peck, i'll chew
You're always high on everything
i'm so damn nervous let's begin

The final dream keeps coming back
it's straight down sex, no love, i lack  - Turn away, i'm away, i'm a big-decay i'm away
Your always high on everything           - Turn away, i'm away, i'm a big-decay i'm away
i'm so damn down, can't see a thing (7x) - Turn away, i'm away, i'm a big-decay i'm away

Turn away, i'm away, i'm a big-decay i'm away (x6)

little ghost
------------

i had a sheet
big enough to cover all your little sheets
now the sheets got to *
you got enclosed
spookin' through my day
in such a lovely way
someone said *
that all it takes to grow
count your pretty dreams
and have some more
but i won't
cause i don't
belong to me anymore

As the silverbullet finds the moose
and tragic tragic, clips a lip
I don't want to be up tune
A reason find it her shape-a-hip
I guess that is through which, which which
which for you to choose
A choice of voice
on a sexy veil
As a tipple steed duck
A tattooed goose
As forgetting when, but knowing how

Okay

Let her call you and finds a party to booze
He's so clever and he sighs
about lost love, lost face in man that booze
and minds between a woman's thighs
The logic and the schizophrenia
There the pope that might brake down
Oh come on, it is all and one too many her
Decay was my own cake
and brown was just a colour to her
Just a colour to her (x3)

I am red and yellow, that's a habit of mine
So meet my shaking hamster
You see a rainbow ain't no sunshine
and a wheelchair ain't no bremser

'Cause as the silverbullets finds the moose
And tragic tragic, clips a lip
I do not want to be up choose
A reason find it her shake-a-hip

It's just a colour to her (x2)

void (or the horror party jokes, i don't know)
----

crush came over time
i should've been here
i should've been there
for a long time
oh baby baby
i pray in order
that void recorders
won't ever bother you

i got free space
to occupy
in case they wipe away your sign
a hiding place
but i got traced down

they came close too close for me
i think they always been in charge
they're complicating memories
oh yeah they must have been
they must have known
that you were here
i think they're always well informed
oh yeah they're always well informed
they know about you and i

they heard about you and i   // this is
they know about you and i    // self inflicted
[and so on]

violins and happy endings
-------------------------

violins and happy endings
plastic tears in a cup
aftershave after hours
swolen words use you up

but i keep telling me it's easy without
all of this

my body is tired and my bones
your makeup is bringing me down
and all your lauren bacall glooms

i keep telling me it's easy without
all of this

you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins, violins and happy endings

and happy days are here again
is one for me and one for me
and your makeup is bringing me down
and things'll get better, you'll see

but i keep telling me it's easy without
all of this

you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins

you get high here with violins
and you get high here with violins

this is where it's * you
and this is where it's * me
and this is where it's *

you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins and happy endings
you get high here with violins and happy endings

Sophisticated underwear on a short vacation
cause the bravest, nippiest, most elegant female woman
shouldn't be, shouldn't be
targeted at a two to eleven year old crowd of plastic like
weasels
easy going
easy gone
squeeze it into a song
too much credit for something that wrong
Bedweiser blues  (Bedweiser)

then: combining wildlife footage and Hollywood names
on the door of a Belgian toilet
that means 0.5 an your scale of shameful situations
and a square 7.6 on my scale of risky and extremely risky
operations
How now plug it in to a transrelational socket ??
I knew what I was doing, fuck it
Bedweiser blues  (Bedweiser)
Bedweiser blues

More wrinkled than the entire Redgrave-family
she raped my talent for simulated ignorance
silent in the night we lay

worried about satan
-------------------
The years they must be good to you it seems
And we share our dissevered gene
And he's twenty-five sittin' and no complaining
He says you gotta be over the fuzz
You remind even me
That I'm not an absentee
Fuck 'em all, but you mean
And you say you want rid of me
You're not kidding me !

Who's she gonna mary at all
And his face is half of a ball
And he's just been flattering his ??? doubling
He's staring all over this wall
But he thinks he's allowed
To be smothering in love
But he knows he's a cheese
He's *
This kinda robbery

my wife jan
-----------

All you little sex-machines
Why is it you always get me wrong ?
When I'm ready

I sing you by the big-eyed blues
'Cause big-eyed girls are better left unsung
Do you get it ?
Do you get it ?

All you little sweet dolphines
Adapt me, draw me and your culture scene
'Cause your niece said
But your niece said
And I just threw my harp away
I just threw my blues away
And I'll just throw my life away,
but keep my head on straight

'Cause my wife Jan - ain't gonna like it !
My wife Jan - ain't gonna like it ! (x2)
If I take it off today... no way

All you little sex-machines
Why is it you always get me wrong ?
When I'm ready
And I'm ready

Sing me by the big-eyed blues
'Cause big-eyed girls are better left unsung
Do you get it ?
Do you get it ?

'Cause I just threw my harp away
And I just threw my blues away
And I'll just throw my life away
But keep that head on straight

'Cause my wife Jan - ain't gonna like it !
My wife Jan - ain't gonna like it ! (x2)
Everybody is talking about things
I just cannot really do
They just don't understand
As a boy, what I am attracted to


All you little sex-machines
Why is it you always get me wrong ?
When I'm ready
And I'm ready

I'll sing you by the big-eyed blues
'Cause big-eyed girls are better left unsung
Do you get it ?
Do you get it ?

the tugboat

i'm on a boat
i'm not at home
i'm on a boat
i'm not at home
don't have a boat
don't have a home
i'm on a boat

stories that you told me
sure they made me laugh
now the rockers in my head bin
works on your behalf

i don't want you to go
the way is not the way
i don't want you to follow
the way i am today

secrets you hid for me
i found them in the yard
need i say i just knew
you'd play it dirty from the start


i don't want you to go
the way is not the way
i don't want you to follow
the way i am today

this house has got an ashtray problem
this house lives by the minute
this house contains two people
who just never want me in it

i don't want you to go
the way is not the way
i don't want you to follow
the way i am today

i suffer rock
-------------

i was twenty-four when my heart stopped beating
oh what a feeling
i'm not talking about the rest

cold supper, mind cropper, follow the pace, of this dealing
i hit the ceiling by the few, I'm not too impressed

lonely nights, don't do me suicide
i just can't help to stay awake at night
and now it's shake-a-shake-a-shake

i was twenty-four when my breath stopped breathing
internal bleeding and frontal pain in my chest

in the dark and lonely night
my mind goes solo
and anyway what's that
in the dark and handsome light
my head spins only
only you and me
in tokio town
but now I hit the ground

i was twenty-four when my heart stopped dreaming
oh what a feeling
and I'm not talking about the rest

lonely nights, don't do me suicide
i suffer rock, it almost had me died
and now I'm breakin' achin' it

nine threads (demo version)
------------

nine threads wide
moves like a steamship on the cloud
and living is all that your mother's lover couldn't hide
next time we meet we must decide
why twelve is commercial suicide

diffcult day
------------
i'm not demoting clumsiness as a cuteless trick
it's just the bottom of the bacon, always makes me sick
you know it's fighting over matter, every time I see you
but it seems it's a lot of that that makes you blue

i've got so much love to give (4 times)

yeah !

you see I'm twenty-four, all I've got is memories
arrive at twenty-five and all you seem to have is me
now I don't wanna be flame, I don't wanna be cooking
it's just the only thing I ever, ever could be

i've got so much love to give (4 times)

hours I'm waiting, Hours I'll wait
i got (subtagious ?), I'll get my way
on this, difficult day

sweet child o'mine
------------------------

she got a smile and it seems to me
remind me of childhood memories
her everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
and now and then, when I see her face
and she takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long, I'd probably brake down and cry

Oohh, sweet child o'mine (x2)

She got eyes of the bluest skies
that if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes
and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a wanting place
where as a child, I'd hide behind
And pray for the thunder in the sky
to quietly pass me by

famous blue raincoat
--------------------

it's four in the morning, the end of december
i'm writing you now just to see if you're better
new york is cold, but i like where I'm living
there's music on clinton street all through the evening.
i hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
you're living for nothing now, i hope you're keeping some kind of record.

yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
did you ever go clear?

ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
you'd been to the station to meet every train
and you came home without lili marlene

and you treated my woman to a flake of your life
and when she came back she was nobody's wife.

well i see you there with the rose in your teeth
one more thin gypsy thief
well i see jane's awake --

she sends her regards.

and what can i tell you my brother, my killer
What can i possibly say?
i guess that i miss you, i guess i forgive you
i'm glad you stood in my way.

if you ever come by here, for jane or for me
your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
i thought it was there for good so i never tried.

and jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear --
Sincerely, L. Cohen

we're going out tonight
-----------------------

We're going out tonight to brake some things
'Cause that's the kinda song we sings
We'll put your clothes on fire and then you're here
We're kinda ugly, but we don't care

shoo-bedo-bedo-a
chop-pa-pa-pada-pada-pa-pa

And we're proud of it ! |
We're so proud of it !  |(x3)
