Anyone Else But You

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on your back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone could see in anyone else, but you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train
I kiss you all starry-eyed, my body swinging from side-to-side
I don't see what anyone could see in anyone else, but you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone could see in anyone else, but you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you

I will find my niche in your car
With my MP3, DVD, rumple-pack guitar
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you

Du du du du du du du du du du du
Du du du du du du du du du du du
Duuuu

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start
Just because we use cheats, doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone could you in anyone else, but you

You are always trying to keep it real
And I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone could see in anyone else, but you

We both have shiny, happy fits of rage
I want more fans, you want more stage
I don't see what anyone could see in anyone else, but you

Don Quixote was a steal-driving man
My name is Adam, I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone could see in anyone else, but you
 
All I Want is You

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee
If I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride?
Take my by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

If you were a river in the mountains tall
The fall of your water be my call
And if you were the Winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me when the cold winds blow

All I want is you, will you be my bride?
Take me by the hand and stand by my size
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, we'll I'd be the pod
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire
And if you were the love, I'd be the desire
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat
And if you were the sea I'd learn to float

All I want is you, will you be my bride?
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
 
Tire Swing

I took the polaroid down in my room
I'm pretty sure you now have a girlfriend
It's not as if I don't like you
It just makes me sad whenever I see it
'Cause you like to be home most of the time
And I like to be gone most of the time
If I stay in one place I lose my mind
I'm a pretty impossible person to be with
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended

I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison
To deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
And you were there, you took me to a giant tire swing
Gave me a push and you started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
The sounds of our voices made us forget everything
That had ever hurt our feelings
Joey never met a boke that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be off offended

Now I'm home for less than twenty four hours
That's hardly time to take a shower
Hug my family and take your picture off the wall
Check my email, write a song, and make a few phone calls
Before it's time to leave again
I've got one hand on the steering wheel
The other waving out the window
If I am single for the rest of my life
My arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended
 
Piazza, New York Catcher

Elope with me, Miss Private, and we'll sail around the world
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
Oh elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze
A trail for the devil to erase
San Francisco's calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay
We hung about the Tenderloin and tenderly you tell
About the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
The statue's crying too and well he may
I love you
I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
I love you, my responsibility has found a place
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Come wave upon me from the family wider net absurd
"You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"
Maybe, but not what she deserves
Elope with me, Miss Private, and we'll drink ourselves awake
We'll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
We'll comment on the decor and we'll help the passer by
And at dusk when work is over we'll continue the debate
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
He knows the drink affects his speed, he's praying for a doorway
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Life outside the diamond is a wrench
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
I know it wouldn't come to love, my heroine pretend
A lady stepping from the song we love until this day
You'd settle for an epitaph like "Walk Away, Renee"
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Meet you at the statue in an hour
 
Up the Junction

I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I ain't forgotten
Where she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said "you are a lady"
"Perhaps", she said, "I may be"

We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We stayed in by the tele
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissing
The Railway Arms we're missing
Our love had got us hooked up
And all the time it took up

I got a job with Stanley
He said I'd come in handy
And started me on Monday
So I took a bath on Sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her

I worked all through the Winter
The weather bright and bitter
And put away a tenner
Each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the tele
Late evenings by the fire
And little kicks inside her

This morning at four-fifty
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another

And now she's two years older
Her mother's with a soldier
She left when when my drinking
Became a proper stinging
The devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
No more nights by the tele
No more nights, nappies, smelly

Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's something missing
I'd beg for some forgiveness
But begging's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption
I'm really up the junction
 
Lily the Pink

We'll drink, a drink, a drink
To Lily the pink, the pink, the pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

Mister Freers
Had sticky-out ears
And it made him awful shy
And so they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's learning
How to fly

Brother Tony
Was notably bony
He would never eat his meals
And so they gave him medicinal compound
And now they move him 'round on wheels

We'lllll drink, a drink, a drink
To Lily the pink, the pink, the pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

Old Ebenezer
Thought he was Julius Caesar
And so they put him in a home
Where they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's emperor of Rome

Jonny Hammer
Has a terrible st-st-st-st-stammer
He could hardly s-s-say a w-word
And so they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's seen, but never heard

Weee'lllllllll drink, a drink, a drink
To Lilly the pink, the pink, the pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

Aunty Millie
Ran willy nilly
When her legs they did recede
So they looked on medicinal compound
Now they call her millipede

Jennifer Eccles
Had terrible freckles
And the boys all called her names
But she changed with medicinal compound
Now he joins in all the games

Weeeeeeee'lllllllllllll drink, a drink, a drink
To Lily the pink, the pink, the pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

Lily the pink, she
Turned to drink, she
Filled up with paraffin inside
And despite her medicinal compound
Sadly piccalilli died

Up to heaven, her soul ascended
And the church bells they did ring
She took with her medicinal compound
Hark the Herold angels sings

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee'llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll drink, a drink, a drink
To Lily the pink, the pink, the pink
Saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case
 
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let 'em tell you that they're all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake (watch out) Part of going to california always reminds me of my dad leaving all he knew to come to the west not knowing the language without that we would not be enjoying all that the west provides. I would never have met my American wife would never have known my other love rock. A lot of people born in the west don't appreciate what we have here. I thank god i was born here with the freedom to love who you want
 
Not a Pearl (AKA A Song for the Drag Race Queens)

I used to think I was a Violet Chachki
But now I know, I'm more of a fucking stank Trixie Mattel
Compare and contrast all us f****ts
Just don't cum up in our eyes
(it burns)
I'm not a Pearl
(not a Pearl)
Not yet a Raja
(not yet a Raja)
We're just pigs in wigs
Searching for some gigs
'till we transition
I'm not a Pearl

Kevin Aviance got a new hip
And Lady Bunny still sucks cock for coin
Above 125th
(Ohhh)
Jiggly Caliente got new toofs
Alyssa Edwards a whore
But they're not no Pearls
(not a Pearl)
They sure ain't Raja's
(not a Pearl Liaison)
Trinity K, no way
Ongina, Delta, Jade
Alaska and Latrice
They're not no Pearls
Dress up like women for money
Drink tickets and a bump
Too wrong to Flazeda - those nudes
She got piece!

I'm not a Pearl
I'm not a Pearl, don't tell me what I should do
(not yet a Raja)
Willam fists on stage and does some butt chugging, too
See Sonique do flips
Akashia goes and slips
Detox, Glasscock and Milk
They're not no Pearls
Bianca Del Rio's
Not yet a Raja
(Gemini, that's his last name on Facebook)
You just tuck your balls
Pray World of Wonder calls
Then go on a "vacay"
I'm not a Pearl
Just call me Caitlyn
 
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need
She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep
And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hats
And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats (cool for cats)
The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go
They get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
It's funny how their missus always look so bleeding same
And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads
Who swear like, "How's your father?" and they're very cool for cats
They're cool for cats (cool for cats)
To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub
On seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had
And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
Cool for cats (cool for cats)
Shape up at the disco and I think I've got a pull
I ask her lots of questions and she hangs on to the wall
I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone
She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own
I said I'll see you later and give her some old chat
But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats (cool for cats)
 
Loose Lips

Loose lips might sink ships
But loose kisses take trips
To San Francisco, double-dutch disco
Tech T.V. hottie, do it for Scotty
Do it for the living and do it for the dead
Do it for the monsters under your bed
Do it for the teenagers and do it for your mom
Broken hearts hurt, but they make you strong, and

We won't stop until somebody calls the cops
And even then we'll start again and just pretend that
Nothing ever happened
We won't stop until somebody calls the cops
And even then we'll start again and just pretend that
Nothing ever happened

We're just dancing, we're just hugging
Singing, screaming, kissing, tugging
On the sleeve of how it used to be
How's it gonna be?
I'll drop kick Russell Stover
Move into the starting over house
And know Matt Rouse and Jest
Are watching me achieve my dreams
And we'll pray all damn day, every day
That all this shit our president has got us in will go away
While we strive to figure out a way we can survive
These trying times, without losing our minds

So if you wanna burn yourself
Remember that I love you
And if you wanna cut yourself
Remember that I love you
And if you wanna kill yourself
Remember that I love you
Call me up before you're dead
We can make some plans instead
Send me an IM, I'll be your friend

Shysters lives from scheme to scheme
But my fourth quarter pipe dreams
Are seeming more and more worth fighting for
So I'll curate some situations, make my job a big vacation
And I'll say fuck Trump, and fuck his wall
My war paint is sharpie ink and I'll show you how much my shit stinks
And ask you what you think because your thoughts and words are powerful
They think we're disposable? Well, both my thumbs opposable
Are spelled out on a double word and triple letter score, and

We won't stop until somebody calls the cops
And even then we'll start again and just pretend that
Nothing ever happened
We won't stop until somebody calls the cops
And even then we'll start again and just pretend that
Nothing ever happened

We won't stop until somebody calls the cops
And even then we'll start again and just pretend that
Nothing ever happened
We won't stop until somebody calls the cops
And even then we'll start again and just pretend that
Nothing ever happened

We're just dancing, we're just hugging
Singing, screaming, kissing, tugging
On the sleeve of how it used to be
 
Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell)

They paved paradise,
Put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise,
Put up a parking lot

They took all the trees,
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charge the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise,
Put up a parking lot

Hey, farmer, farmer,
Put away the DTT now
Give me spots on my apples,
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise,
Put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise,
Put up a parking lot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise,
Put up a parking lot

They paved paradise,
Put up a parking lot
 
The Future

Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It's lonely here
There's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That's an order
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
And stuff it up the hole
In your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've seen the future, brother
It is murder
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be nothing)
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it's overturned
The order of the soul
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
You don't know me from the wind
You never will, you never did
I'm the little Jew
Who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
But love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going
Any further (do, do, do)
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future
It is murder (do, do, do)
Things are going to slide
Slide in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be)
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it's overturned
The order of the soul
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
There'll be the breaking of the ancient
Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode (ooh, ooh)
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
And the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
Hanging upside down (ooh, ooh)
Her features covered by her fallen gown (ooh, ooh)
And all the lousy little poets
Coming round
Tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
Yeah, the white man dancin'
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima (do, do, do)
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby
It is murder (do, do, do)
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing (won't be)
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it's overturned
The order of the soul
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
 
Escape From Hellview

The fire dies on it's own
Leaving us to ourselves but not exactly alone
I think that someone is out there waiting
Anticipation has grown
The air is black as can be
Can't even see that my hand is in front of me
I'm overhearing a whisper "they won't escape until the blood is set free"
So turn back the silence is deafening
Turn back don't let them see you again
They make their rounds at the midnight hour and
On the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
And the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
Now I'm finding my friends
Hanging from trees, made a bed of a barb wired fence
I'm on the loose with my neck in the noose but hey...
I enjoy the intense
Turn back the silence is deafening
Turn back don't let them see you again
They make their rounds at the midnight hour and
On the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
And the hunger for the living helps then hunt it with the greatest of ease
No experience could never match the sight of when a person is through
If it's the last thing I will do i'll be the one who will escape from Hellview... and I will
Turn back the silence is deafening
Turn back don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour and
On the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
And the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
No experience could ever match the sight of when a person is through
If it's the last thing I will do I'll be the one that will escape from Hellview... and I will.
 
She's Like Heroin

She's like heroin
Sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help
I need someone to save her ass
Chinese tricks in rooms
With ghosts of hooker girly dudes
Me and heroin
Maybe we can make some cash selling
Ass
Selling ass for heroin
ASS
Selling ass for heroin
ASS
Selling ass for heroin
She wants nothing more
But to be a little whore
He wants nothing less
But to wear a little dress
She's like heroin
Sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help
I need someone to make some cash selling
Ass
Selling ass for heroin
ASS
Selling ass for heroin
ASS
She's like heroin
Sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help
I need someone to save her ass
She wants nothing more
But to be a little whore
He wants nothing less
But to wear a little dress
She's like heroin
Sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help
I need someone to save her ass
Chinese tricks in rooms
With ghosts of hooker girly dudes
Me and heroin
Maybe we can can make some cash
She's like heroin
Sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help
I need someone to save my ass
 
Expectations

Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
So you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you want to be remembered for your art
Your obsession get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay

In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt

You've been used, you're confused
Write a song, I'll sing along
Are you calm? Settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You're on top of the world again

Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
Mum said she had little choice when she was young, so why should you?
Do you went to work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect
Move to Lingerie and take a feel off Joe the Storeman
Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
She's got everything to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
'Cause you can't afford a blazer and you're always wearing clogs

At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Head of English gets you, asks you, "What the Hell do you think you're doing?"
"Do you think you're better then the other kids? Well get outside."
You've got permission, but you've got to make the bastard think he's right

You've been used, you're confused
Write a song, I'll sing along
Are you calm? Settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You're on top of the world again

Oh, you’re cool and you know
You’re a star and you’ll go far
Listen to me as a friend
Not just a boy who plays guitar
You’re on top of the world again
 
So Nice, So Smart

I was quiet as a mouse
When I snuck into your house
And took Roofies with your spouse
In a nit and out a louse
Lice are lousy all the time
They suck your blood, drink your wine
Say "Shut up and quit your crying,
Give it time and you'll be fine"

You're so nice and you're so smart
You're such a good friend I have to break your heart
I'll tell you that I love you then I'll tear your world apart
Just pretend I didn't tear your world apart

I like boys with strong convictions
And convicts with perfect diction
Underdogs with good intentions
Amputee's with stamp collections
Plywood skin-boards ride the ocean
Salty noses, suntan lotion
Always seriously joking
And rambunctiously soft-spoken
I like boys who like their mothers
And I have a thing for brothers
But they always wait 'til were under the covers
To say "I'm sure glad we're not lovers"

You're so nice and you're so smart
You're such a good friend I have to break your heart
I'll tell you that I love you then I'll tear your world apart
Just pretend I didn't tear your world apart

I like my new bunny suit
I like my new bunny suit
I like my new bunny suit
When I wear it I feel cute
 
"From the carcass of a dead star
To the darkness of a blackened heart
We are one in the dust, in the nothingness
We are infinite, we are infinite
Misbegotten children of the abyss
We are infinite, we are infinite..."

Lorna Shore - Of The Abyss
 
The flower said "I wish I was a tree"
The tree said "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree"
The cat wished that is was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea

And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it
And the flower would be it's offering
Of love to the desert
And the desert so dry and lonely
That the critter all appreciate the effort

Et le jackalope a dit
"Je voudrais être un yeti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m'en aller loin d'ici"
Mais le yeti a dit
"Je voudrais être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer
De tous les requins"

And the rattlesnake said "I wish I had hands
So I could hug you like a man"
And the cactus said "But don't you understand?
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives
A hug would be nice
But hug my flower with your eyes"

So the flower said "I wish I was a tree"
The tree said "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree"
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea

And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it
And the flower would be it's offering
Of love to the desert
And the desert so dry and lonely
That the critters all appreciate the effort
