Well she's kind of like an artist
Sittin' on the floor
Never finishes, she abandons
Never shows a soul

And she's kind of like a movie
Everyone rushes to see
And no one understands it

If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool?
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while.

[Chorus:]

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round

Hollywood cops
Shoot each other in bed
And I wouldn't go to see 'em
They put the checkbook to my head

Tinkertown liquors
Emperor's checkers
Some **** on the needle

Here come Dick, he's wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane, y'know she's sporting a chain
Same hair, revolution
Same build, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss

And they love each other so
Androgynous

Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never gonna be together
My courage is at it's peak
You know what I mean
How do say you're OK to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?

Up against his body
Now you're stuck
But you like it down and dirty
You don't care
Where the hell you're goin'
Anywhere
Is better than goin'

Summoned through a keyhole
In a lunchbox for three
Take me to your followers
And the swingset police
You can't see the weather
You've got to pull the blinds
Tellin' you questions
Askin' me lies

Well when you open that bottle of wine
You open a can of worms every time
Now you don't stop, that ain't true
Never said a word, I never had to
It was my attitude
That you thought was rude
It was my attitude

Back to back to back to back to back

Back to back
Now how you gonna hold me
Back to back
How you gonna show me
Back to back
Baby that's a fact

Get them fingerprints off of this glass
Wanna keep your job you better start kissing somebody's ass
Excuse me miss
I gotta get under your feet
Oh, One day honey when I ain't got this broom
I'll get you in a room in between some filthy sheets

'Cause I'm a bad worker

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten

We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons

There's popcorn for dinner
Last night it was cheesecake
A little sleepy-time tea
Spiked with another heartache
I smell you hair
The clothes I wear
I miss your face
Can't you see I'm bent all out of shape

Out on the street for a living
You know it's only begun
They've got you under their thumb

Out on the street for a living
And it is only begun
Doing all that you can
And now you're under their thumb

When you say this
So what you wanna hear?
About our little situation
But how bout in here?

Bout a man and a woman
Saying hello
Say that you gotta stay

I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a crack in the drapes

Yeah
Irresponsibility's my closest friend
Forget my duty I couldn't give a shit
Tell my about the city ordinance
Tell me that we're insubordinate
Plan tomorrow, money to borrow
I couldn't care less, care less
Couldn't care less, care less

Everybody at your party
They don't look depressed
Everybody dressin' funny
Color me impressed

Stayin' out late tonight
Won't be gettin' any sleep
Givin' out their word

All day I face the barren waste
Without the taste of water
Cool, water
Oh, Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear, water
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water

Tape's rolling...O.K.

(I'm in love with the girl who works at the store
where I'm nothing but a...)
Customer
I'm a customer
I'm a customer
I'm a customer

The smell of man that now scents your wings
And with that, brings a change in things
Banished forever from the sacred nest
On your snow-white breast
I feel there's still unrest

I said, hey, darlin' one
Your time has come

Really lost my good thing now
Really lost my good thing
You don't callI don't cry
You don't call and I and
We know it's over now
We know it's over
The way I used to love her
That's the way I hate it now

Goin' down t' the pool hall
Lookin' for the eight ball
When it comes, when it comes
Only want a little, you need a ton
Gimme one good dose of thunder
Gimme one good dose of thunder

Gimme gimme in a hurry

I meant to close the polls
In the chill night, bitter cold
Someone close the polls
On a chill night, in the cold

Election day
I can't stay
Wannabe, wannabe, wannabe, wannabe

Things look swell, things look great
We got the whole world on a plate!
Starting here, starting now
Everything's coming up roses!

Let the decks! Hit the tracks!
We got nothing to do but relax
Blow a kiss. Take a bow

Yeah, kid, it's a-really hip
With plenty of flash and you know it
Yeah, dad, you're rocking real bad
Don't break your neck when you fall down laughing
Donna, want to, Donna

Yeah, I know I look like hell
I smoke and I drink and I'm feeling swell

You're about to leave him now
Heard it all before
Suppose me to believe it now

Go while you can
Go while you can

Stay a while he's sleepin now

I need a God damn job
I need a God damn job
I really need a God damn job
I need a God damn job

God dammit
God dammit
God damn, I need a God damn job

I remember...ready?
Well it gets about three, everything is swell
C'mon down, c'mon what the hell
I know a better TV, there ain't a whole lot to see
When you're hangin' downtown

Wait, date, no I can't go
I gotta stick around, watch my show

I remember...ready?
Well it gets about three, everything is swell
C'mon down, c'mon what the hell
I know a better TV, there ain't a whole lot to see
When you're hangin' downtown

Wait, date, no I can't go
I gotta stick around, watch my show

The plan was to sweep the world off its feet
So you sweep the garage for the neighbours to see
The plan was to set the world on its ear
And I bet you don't know why you're here
Who knew
That avenue was bound for happy town
Happy town
Happy now

Send "Hayday" Ringtone to your Cell
Hit it, Bob

Sittin' at home, and I'm so excited
Goin' to the party though we weren't invited
Times ain't tough, they're tedious

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food

(Hootenanny in E)

Well, it's a hootenanny
It's a hootenanny
It's a hootenanny
It's a hootenanny
It's a hootenanny
Boy, the candy

And all I needed was just a breath of fresh air
I want a, I want a folding chair

St. Paul Civic Center
Giving me a eight dollar and fifty cent
I bought a headache
I bought a headache
Headache

Load the car and write the note.
Grab your bag and grab your coat.
Tell the ones that need to know.
We are headed north.

One foot in and one foot back.
But it don’t pay to live like that.
So I cut the ties and I jumped the track.

Do we give it up? (I don't know)
Should we give it hell? (I don't know)
Are you makin' a fortune? (I don't know)
Or don't you wanna tell? (I don't know)
Should we give it up? (I don't know)
Or hang around some more? (I don't know)
Should we buy some beer? (I don't know)
Can I use your hairspray?

How young are you?
How old am I?
Let's count the rings around my eyes

How smart are you?
How dumb am I?
Don't count any of my advice

Do you want me to party?
You want me back at yakety-yak?
Do you drive around a lot?
Drive around since I care?
Do you want me to send a letter or a note?
I won't

Fallin' in love for the first time, my my my

Give me a/get me out of this little stinkin' fresh air
Ninety days in the electric chair
Step right up son
Gonna show you something ain't never been done
You're all ****ed

Listen, it don't cost much
I lay down the line that you touch

If it's a temporary lull
Why'm I bored right outta my skull?
Man, I'm dressin' sharp an' feelin' dull

Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from
If I was from Canada
Then I'd best be called lonesome
And if it's just a game

Cruisin' in the sunshine, eighty up here today (ain't yet been to bed?)
I could hear the motor whistlin', something's off the wall again
Give my regards to Broadway, tell 'em I got change to spare
One big buck, gonna have to suck up here

Anything you want, dear, is fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Everything you say, dear, I'll buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, goodbye

I gotta hide, I gotta run
Try suicide, well that ain't no fun
Oh you won't ever say that it's so
You're in love and I'm in trouble

Spend my cash, waste my time
Take out the trash, not this time
Well you won't never say that it's so

Well, I walked out of work
And I was tired as hell
Another day`s come and gone and oh well
Somewhere there's a drink with my name on it

Well, I ordered a Scotch as I bust through them doors
Spilled half on my jeans
The other half on the floor

Johnny always takes more than he needs
Knows a couple chords, knows a couple leads
Johnny always needs more than he takes
Forgets a couple of chords, forgets a couple of breaks
And everybody tells me Johnny is hot
Johnny needs something that he ain't got

And Johnny's gonna die

Your radio is playing rather loud
It don't sound like me
Your attitude, no, way too proud
That don't bother me

I'm gonna keep on knocking
Gonna keep on pounding
I'm gonna knock I'm gonna pound

Go home.....this is the Minneapolis police....the
party's over...if you all just grab your stuff &
leave there won't be any hassle..the party's been
closed....etc.


One, two, three, four

On the bus, that's where we're ridin'
On the bus, O.K., don't say hi, then
Your tongue, your transfer,
your hand, your answer

On the bus, everyone's lookin' forward
On the bus, I am lookin' forward
And everything ain't O.K.

Got a big switchblade, drop drop bill a tease
There's a deal goin' down, it don't go down around me

Rumors keep on spreadin' all over town
Lay it down clown, lay it down
Lay it down clown, lay it down

Spirit is willing and you think you got what it takes

Read about your band in some local page
Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name
Sweet Georgia breezes, safe, cool and warm
I headed up north, you headed north

On and on and on and on
What side are you on?
On and on and on and on

Read about your band in some local page
Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name
Sweet Georgia breezes, safe, cool and warm
I headed up north, you headed north

On and on and on and on
What side are you on?
On and on and on and on

You and I fall together
You and I sleep alone
After all, things might be better
After 1, and there's one that's long gone

For the moon you keep shootin'
Throw your rope up in the air
For the kids you stay together

Some girls are a pain in my life
When they try to be my wife
So some may come and some may go
'Round each night (I'll decide?)
Just don't try to be my wife
Oh no, I'll call you on Friday
I'll call you on Saturday
I'll love you till Friday

Stop it

Slightly overweight girls need sex also
Send your note and desires
Means of contact P.O. Box 8941

Baby you have been along
I'll read another

Hush was the first word you were taught
And they watched you wear
The clothes they claimed that they bought
They brought you down
To watch the merry-go around

In fall, you knew how much it cost
A trouble doll

I don't watch the TV, I watch the clock
Party goin' up there on the block
The neighbors complain that they can hear
I smoke my cigarettes, drink my cola

I need more cigarettes
More cigarettes, I need

Send "Mr. Whirly" Ringtone to your Cell
(Wait wait wait do the whole thing)

Now come on baby do the twist (2x)
Shake it around
It goes like this

The feeling you're getting
Is downright depressing
Do you foresee
A way out for me

Well it's not my problem
To help you solve them
Do you want to go through it

Absolution is out of the question
It makes no sense to apologize
The words I thought I brought I left behind,
So never mind
All over but the shouting, just a waste of time
Never mind
All over but the shouting, just a waste of time

Nightclub jitters, I take a drink before I hit the town
Night life critters scurry to that sultry, smoky sound
Hurry now the sun is goin' down
To the nightclub jitters, only thing that scares me is the dark
The night life critters: "What's the cover? Where should we park?"
Stay at home just once for a lark.
They say "Now don't be a stranger."
It really don't matter to me

Heartaches, on your wedding day
Double takes when they look my way
Knees quake, there ain't a shotgun in the place
You like the frosting, you just bought the cake
Your eyes can't fake
Still in love with nobody
And I won't tell nobody

One wink at a time
One wink at a time

Magazine she flips through
Is the special double issue
Smells like perfume
She leaves it on the plane

Everybody gotta go Otto, Otto
Everybody gotta go Otto-to
Everybody wants to know Otto, Otto

Everybody wants to know Otto-to

Tried to come over here
Thought I might give her, give her a call

I once made a song on the radio
You’ve been waiting your whole life long
Just never liked that song

I need the radio up
I need the radio up

Never thought that hit

Raised in the city
Ready to run
Cruise to the lake
Fun fun fun
Disinclined to groove around

Raised in the city
Raised on beers

A bottle of Chablis, hey now, that ain't no stuff for me
Chateau Timberley, as long as I can't see
Gallo or Muscatel, either one would be just swell
I didn't come here to fight, hey just as long as that ain't white

Now I ain't no connoisseur cat - the conno-sewer/kinda sewer rat
Red red wine on Sunday
Always tastes so good

Well you know
And you go
When I'm alone I have no cause
To think about the **** we used to know
Made of snow

Well you came
And you stayed

Red light red light run it
Red light red light run it

Lyndale
Garfield
Back up now 'cept
Engine stopped runnin'

From the very first day that you were born
To the very last time you waved and honked your horn
Had no chance at all to watch you grow
Up so sadly, beautiful
Up so sadly, beautiful

Baby needs a brand new pair of eyes
Cause the ones you got now see only goodbyes

Everybody that's on my block
They're tired of me that ain't no shock
And I ain't got no idols
I ain't got much taste
I'm shiftless when I'm idle
I got time to waste

They tried to tell me that I should learn

Rock 'n roll loudmouth, spew in my glass
Stroke another one down, right behind my back
Do us all a favor, get yourself a spine
Everybody's choking on the grapevine

[Chorus:]

Shooting dirty pool, spewing dirty lies

Drive yourself right up the wall
No one hears and no one calls
It's a boring state
It's a useless wait, I know

Brag about things you don't understand
A girl and a woman, a boy and a man
Everything is sexually vague

You take the skyway, high above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street

But you take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place

Delivering noise
Real tough boys
What else have I got
Half-priced drugs
Stolen guitars
What else is new
It`s somethin to du
Somethin to du

Bring your own lampshade
Somewhere there's a party
Here it's never ending
Can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade
There'll be plenty enough room in jail

If being alone's a crime I'm serving forever

Well I can't breathe
I can't swallow
Here today
Gonna be back tomorrow

Lyin' in back
With your heart attack
In the front seat

Stay right there, go no further
Don't get a doctor, don't get my mother
It's too far to walk, gotta decide
Turn around, we're takin' a ride

So take another pill from your purse
Take a little ride in a hearse
We're takin a ride

In my waxed up hair and my painted shoes
Got an offer that you might refuse
Tonight, tonight, we're gonna take a stab
Come on along, we'll grab a cab

We ain't much to look at so
Close your eyes, here we go
We're playin' at the talent show

Does it hurt to fall in love so easy
Does it hurt to fall in love so fast
Does it hurt you to find out
Thirty-second hand

Is it such a big task
Such a big task
Are you too proud to ask

All eyes look up to me
High above the filthy streets
Heed no bullhorn when it calls
Watch me fly and die, watch me fall

I'm the boy they can't ignore,
For the first time in my life, I'm sure
All the love sent up high to pledge

Tommy gets his tonsils out
Hi Susie, do you know what?
I've been in the hospital...

Now open wide, the doctor's here
Everything is fine, got nothing to fear
Strap 'em down, we're outta gas
Stop your bawling, you little brat

A million baby kisses
From a kissing booth on wheels
This sign is pretty poison
On the envelope she seals
And your love is by the way
Who knows exactly how she feels
Whose torture
Without you, it's torture

We`re gettin` no place fast as we can
Get a noseful from our so-called friends

We`re gettin` nowhere quick as we know how
We whirl from town to town treatment bound

First thing we do when we finally pull up
Get shitface drunk try to sober up

Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Was you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Hey, are you satisfied?

And it goes so slowly on

Well you wish upon a star that turns into a plane
And I guess that's right on par
Who's left to blame?

If you were a pill
I'd take a handful at my will
And I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong
Plenty of times you wake up in February make-up

She don't wear no pants and she don't wear no tie
Always on the ball, she's always on strike
Struttin' up the aisle, big deal, you get to fly
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

Paid my fare, don't want to complain
You get to me, you're always outta champagne

"Shocking how nothing shocks anymore,"
The message read as it washed ashore
Skies turn black as my eyes look down
Written on the back are these words I've found:

"We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
It's been ours since birth, what'cha doin' on it?
We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it

One more chance to get it all wrong
One more chance to get it all wrong
One more night to do it all wrong
One more warning
One more warning sound
We're comin' out
We're comin' out
One more day anyway

Stop at a light that shine bright blue
and where you've been is still in view
you stop at nothing at your first chance
now it's nothing like when it began
when it began
when it began
when it began

Stop it
Stop it
Stop it

Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Just in time

I could live without so much
I can die without a clue
Sun keeps risin' in the west
I keep on wakin' fully confused

I never seen no mountain
Never swam no sea
City got me drownin'

(Are we gonna record this one
I see well actually)

Yeah
You lose
You lose
Yeah
You lose

Oh, no...O.K...tape's rolling...so what

I hate music
Sometimes I don't
I hate music
It's got too many notes

I hate my high school
