1. _ Garage Band '69
In an old garage
Rain is comin' down
Half a block away
You can hear that sound
Powered up by love
And electricity
Makin' lots of noise
And feelin' free
Got a brand new amp
A speaker with a tear
Shock ourselves on wires
Make believe that we don't care
I call this a song
Because i say it is
This one's about cleopatra
Or maybe nick or liz
Chorus:
You play the drums today
I'll play guitar
We're gonna be in a famous band
We're gonna go real far
So pass over that bottle o' wine
We'll smoke all the cigarettes
Is that a car in the driveway?
We have not finished yet
I heard an old man next door
I think we killed 'im with our sound
I saw the body in the ambulance
Maybe we should turn it down
So everybody back off one notch
And close that door on down
Chorus repeat jam on last line until, well, until you stop

2. _ Only A Hobo
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
An' i guess he'd been there for the whole night or more
Chorus:
(he was) only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song
Leaving nobody to carry him home
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
A blanket of newspaper covered his head
As the step was his pillow, the street was his bed
One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come
An' a fistful of coins showed the money he'd bummed
Chorus repeat
Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down
To look up in the world from a whole in the ground
To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame
To lie in the gutter and die with no name
Chorus repeat

3. _ Beloved Movie Star
My beloved movie star
There's more than cold cream in your jar
When eyebrows arch and lips are dry
When you're alone at night, you cry
Stuntmen make you feel secure
Wrap you up in soft allure
Your key light's bright, your close-up's now
This picture could tank, but you'll make out somehow
Can you hear the surf in malibu
The red tide there is calling you
You are the part, why don't they know
Remember tallulah, janet, and garbo
Behind you now
See someone there
She looks like you
With blonder hair
A newer one
With a younger glow
So you just cry all night
In your bungalow
My beloved movie star
Now i know just where you are
Up on a hill, in the backseat of a car
You're my beloved movie star

4. _ Amnesia
Remember me when it's over
Remember me when it's done
Remember me when it's rainin'
Remember me |
5. _ Funzone
Spoken:
You know, when we were all like, uh, about this high, knee-high to a jackelope,
We always figured that the fun thing to do was to go to a funzone.
Let's go |
6. _ Talk Hard
Life is tough and full'a stuff
Life is hard as rock
No one around to pull you out
No one to stop the clock
Now we don't need no chaperones
All policemen please go home
The pressure's up |
7. _ Don't Box Me In
You walk, i'll run
And follow right behind you
You call, i'll come
And i won't remember where i come from
Over there, at the end of the bar
This fish keeps swimmin' in a jar
I feel a tug on the line
Which end will i be on this time?
Chorus:
Don't box me in
Don't box me in
Don't box me in
Don't box me in
One day i'll show them
Just what i'm made of
There'll be a time
When i won't remember what i was afraid of
And i'll be swimmin' in the sea
No banging on this glass for me
My eyes turned red when my life turned blue
So i'm leaving everything, that's true
And i'll jump into
A brand new skin
Chorus:
And then you won't be able to box me in
Don't box me in
Don't box me in
Let go
There's a few places 'round
That i've never been
There's an ocean out there
That i gotta swim
There's a river that flows
Right past my door
I wonder
I wonder...
...what?
And if sometimes i can't seem to talk
You'll know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk.
Chorus:
Don't box me in
I told you not to |
8. _ Floundering
Tonight i'm looking for someone to tell my troubles to
Some fish will swim but some fish just get caught
I'm walkin' by a market and i remember me and you
Feelin' like an old filet that no one bought
Chorus:
Nobody knows, nobody sees
I'm caught downstream, and i'm floundering
Walkin' by the old canal, i sit down along the shore
I throw one lonely duck my last french fry
I had a dream of drowning |
9. _ Free Of It All
You were captain of the ship
It was headed for rocks
But you were first in the lifeboat somehow
Now you're watching from shore
As the passengers wave from the bow
Free of it all
Now you'll just float away
Blowin' like leaves on the wind
The rules of the game can be changed
By the one who wins
Chorus:
Now you're free of it all
So free of it all
Now you're free of it all
So free of it all
And i know that you'd say
That you'd always planned it this way
The cargo was lost
But you never give in
Your heart is still locked in a vault
You're free of it all
When it's somebody else's fault
To finish this spin
With the twist of a hand
To know that you've hidden a crime
One goes on ahead while another is left behind
Chorus:
And you're free of it all
So free of it all
Now you're free of it all
So free of it all
And you knew i would say
You'd always planned it this way
I always knew
You would walk out one day
And it never crossed my mind
To throw in just one more dime
And get this close to the line
Now that it's done
And my locks've been changed
And the keys are all back in the drawer
You're not a prisoner
I'm not a guard anymore
Chorus:
And you're free of it all
So free of it all
Now you're free of it all
So free of it all
And you're free of it all
So free of it all
Now you're free of it all
So free of it all
And i know you would say
That you'd always planned it this way

10. _ After The Storm
After the storm
We'll all need to dry out
And the forecast will be
Sunny and fair
After the storm
We'll have a big parade
And the smell of victory will be in the air
We'll march in the sun
And listen to speeches
Life will be a bowl of cream and peaches
After the storm
We'll be sucking on « swallows »
And driving our trucks in the sand
We'll redraw the maps
Wear snappy new caps
A gentle breeze will blow o'er the land
We'll pack up our things
Maybe get married
Throw off that weak, wussy
Feeling we carried
Bring it all home
In a bag to be buried
After the storm
After the storm
The flowers will grow
And pastures of plenty we'll see
We'll dig a few holes
Heat up a few coals
And have a big barbecue feed
We'll shine up our cars
Drive in the sun
Pitch a tent in the woods
And make a beer run
If somebody wants something
We might just give 'em some
After the storm
We'll march in the sun
And listen to speeches
And life will be a bowl of cream and peaches

11. _ Cannon Song
John was all present and jim was all there
And georgie was up for promotion
Not that the army gave a bugger who they were
When confronting some heathen commotion
Chorus:
The troops live under
The cannon's thunder
From sind to cooch behar
Moving from place to place
When they come face to face
With a different breed of fellow
Whose skins are black or yellow
They quick as winking chop him into
Beefsteak tartar
Johnny found his whiskey too warm
And jimmy found the weather too balmy
But georgie took them both by the arm
And said "don't ever disappoint the army!"
Chorus repeat
John is a write-off and jimmy is dead
And georgie was shot for looting
And young men's blood goes on being red
And the army still goes on ahead recruiting
Chorus repeat

12. _ The Man In The Long Black Coat
Crickets are chirpin'
The water is high
There's a soft cotton dress
On the line hangin' dry
The windows wide open
African trees
Bent over backward
In a hurricane breeze
Not a word of goodbye
Not even a note
She's gone with the man
In the long black coat
Somebody seen him
Hangin' around
At the old dancehall
On the outskirts of town
He looked into her eyes
When she stopped him to ask
If he wanted to dance
He had a face like a mask
Somebody said
From the bible he quoth
There was dust on the man
In the long black coat
Preacher was talkin'
There's a sermon he gave
He said, "every man's conscience
Is vile & depraved.
You cannot depend on it
To be your guide
When it's you
Who must keep it satisfied."
It ain't easy to swallow
It sticks in the throat
She gave her heart to the man
In the long black coat
"there are no mistakes in life,"
Some people say
It's true sometimes
You can see it that way
People don't live or die
People just float
She left with the man
In the long black coat
There's smoke on the water
It's been there since june
Tree trunks uprooted
In the high crescent moon
Hear the pulse & vibration
And the rumbling force
Somebody's out there
Beating on a dead horse
She never said nothing
There was nothing she wrote
She's gone with the man
In the long black coat

13. _ Don't Drop The Soap (for Anyone Else But Me)
There's a guard in the tower
We got just one hour
When we meet in the shower
You'll feel my love power
Chorus:
Don't drop the soap for anyone else but me x3
You be the momma, i'll be the pop
You be the bottom, i'll be the top
Chorus:
Don't drop the soap for anyone else but me x2
You say you're a fighter
But you won't make a sound
You'll be my pillow biter
When the sun goes down
Chorus:
Don't drop the soap for anyone else but me x3
Chorus:
Don't drop the soap for anyone else but me repeat and fade

14. _ Deep Inside We're Blue
Swimmin' in the slime
Peelin' off th' dock
Baby got a purple skirt that is polka-dot
Beauty in decay can be the only way when you are not
Wind is blowin' strong
Rainin' in the world
Nothin' but a sag where there used to be a curl
Cloud is comin' on
The weatherman was wrong |
15. _ Bing Can't Walk ('cause Bob Broke Both His Legs)
If you've got a friend that you want messed up
Just meet me on the corner by the tail of the pup2
I'll be there soon if you'll wait a while
It'll be just one punch for my « patients (patience?) »
And a drawer full of dirty shirts
We'll find out just who hurts |
