"COPE"
(Brouwer/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)
(Beside) table spilled with this and that
I tried to dam the memories but lipstick on the glass - lipstick on the glass
She told me everything you do comes back around
The answering machine rewinds a hollow sombre sound - hollow sombre sound
Got a hole in my head
Got a hole in my heart
Got a hole where my soul's supposed to be
Can't you see this is hard for me
Something blue is spilling to the ground
I tried to turn the faucet off I still need you around - still need you around
Got a hole in my head
Got a hole in my heart
Got a hole where my soul's supposed to be
Can't you see this is hard for me
Got a hole in my head
Got a hole in my heart
Got a hole where my soul's supposed to be
Can't you see this is hard
Got a hole in my head
Got a hole in my heart
Got a hole where my soul's supposed to be
Can't you see this is hard for me
This is really hard for me
This is really hard
"BLOOM"
(Brouwer/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)
Bloom today - bloom today
Roses thorny any other way
[...] today - [...] today
I couldn't swallow any other way
Don't you ask why - don't qualify - this lullaby
Blood today - blood today
I couldn't be sure any other way
[...] today - [...] today
I couldn't soften any other way
Don't you ask why - don't qualify - this lullaby
And I know it's nothing new
But the red is roses true
And it's gushing outta you
Bloom today - bloom today
Roses thorny any other way
Squeeze today - squeeze today
I couldn't show you any other way
Don't you ask why - don't qualify - this lullaby
Bloom!
"THAT'S OK"
(Brouwer/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)
You can do what you wanna do
You can laugh at the tired and true
But that's ok - that's ok
That's ok with me, ok
You can be what you wanna be
You can set your eyes to see
That's ok - that's ok
That's ok with me, ok
If you find yourself alone
Check that bag I'll take you home(?)
If you're having problems sleeping
Check those promises you're keeping
But that's ok with me, it's ok with me
That's ok with me, ok
Ooh!
That's ok with me
"GUN"
(Brouwer/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)
Hey little you - why do you walk around (?)
Out on the streets - do the sights and sounds like (?)
What can I lose - do you tremble when you're caught again
Well I got the thing to make you feel like a man again
And It's your constitutional right
To sleep soundly thru the night
With a 38 - or carbine 45
It feels great today to be alive
Bought one for mom - now she no longer has trouble walking with a cane
And sold - one to junior - he didn't have no trouble in school again
And strapped to your leg - or gun control beside your bed
If they fuck with you - who'll be the one who's seeing red
And It's your constitutional right
To sleep soundly thru the night
With a 38 - or carbine 45
It feels great today to be...
It feels great to be alive - with a polished piece of pride
It feels great to be alive - with a polished piece of pride
Hey little you - well I'm not saying to use that thing
But still let me show you - it's gonna hold ten rounds inside the bin
And yet in the city (---)
But what can I tell ya - after all boys will be boys
And It's your constitutional right
To sleep soundly thru the night
With a 38 - or carbine 45
It feels great today to be
It feels great today to be
It feels great today to be alive!
"WALK AMONG US"
(Stewart/Blake/MacAlinden)
Well it started with a phone call
About a bright light in the sky
And all those folks in Cambridge
Just can't believe their eyes
So he cleans his own blue glasses
A long red cap in hand
He walks the icy river
Rip roaring into air
He says they're friendly
They walk among us
There's no reason for hysterics
No need to lose your heads
All the people with their rifles
Can go on home to bed
He says they're friendly
They walk among us
Someone said they were ten feet tall
Then someone said they were ten stories tall
Someone said they move in your eyes
Well he says that they take their places in the skies
Oh it's in the skies
You wander towards the sunrise
Away from the glowing square
And even though he smiled, yeah!
His words had a lonely air
I know they're friendly
I walk among you
I know they're friendly
I walk among you
"SERIOUS DRUGS"
(D. Stewart/N. Blake/J. MacAlinden)
She said maybe your tablet should be stronger
Get some serious drugs
You need some serious drugs
Toy town medicine won't make you change
If you want your head rearranged
You need some serious drugs
Yeah some serious drugs
The problem with me...
I don't fill in, you see
The problem with me...
I don't fill in, you see
I'd cut off my hair
If you want me to
I'd cut off my fingers
If that would get your serious love
Yeah I've got a serious love
I said I don't think I can't take it much longer
She said well maybe your tablet should be stronger
Get some serious drugs
Yeah some serious drugs
The problem with me...
I don't fill in, you see
The problem with me...
I don't fill in, you see
Ooouh...
"MRS. WASHINGTON"
(Brouwer/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)
Say Mrs. Washington you live right down the street
Why do you look at me that way each time we meet?
This busy life of yours they seem like they are digging really deep
Would you let me - could you let me know? oh!
Would you let me - could you let me know? oh!
Could you let me - would you let me know? oh!
Say Mrs. Washington your memories must be vast
You always sit there on your porch watching foes pass
I wonder what it is you think about but I'm afraid to ask
Could you let me - would you let me know? oh!
Could you let me - would you let me know? oh!
Would you let me - could you let me know? oh!
Know? oh!
Know? oh!
Know!
Now could you let me know?
Say Mrs. Washington there from your window shade
As I came stumbling home late in a (?) of rage
You know I'm looking for some kind of saviour and some kind of change
Could you let me - would you let me know? oh!
Could you let me - would you let me know? oh!
Would you let me - should you let me know? oh!
Know? oh!
Know? oh!
Would you let me ...
Could you let me know?
"ASK"
(Morrissey/Marr)
Shyness is nice, but
Shyness can stop you
From saying all the things in life you really want to
Coyness is nice, but
Coyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life you really want to
So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
Ask me I won't say no, how could I?
Spending warm summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg
Ask me ask me ask me
Ask me ask me ask me
Because if it's not love
Then it's the bomb, the bomb
That will bring us together
Nature is a language can't you read?
Nature is a language can anybody read?
So, if there's something you'd like to try
Yeah if there's something you'd like to try
Ask me I won't say no, how could I?
Ask me ask me ask me
Ask me ask me ask me
Because if it's not love
Then it's the bomb
Then it's the bomb that will keep us together
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
Ask me ask me ask me
"WINSOR DAM"
(Goffrier/Oliphant/Michener/Wallik)
I was thinking about the way I lived my life
Or the way it was lead
So I stepped on my remote control and spun a few yarns instead
I'll never see you here again
Behind the Winsor Dam
I'll never see you here again
Behind the Winsor Dam
All the trust you left but forgot his dog
And couldn't sleep all night
Took the rowboat out the next morning and
Found his dog and his wife
They were swimming for their lives
I'll never see you here again
Behind the Winsor Dam
In the old townhall at the farewell ball
Owen kissed his girl goodbye
And Peggy smiled at him through a flood of tears
And Owen said don't you cry
We'll be swimming for our lives
I'll never see you here again
Behind the Winsor Dam
I'll never see you here again
Behind the Winsor Dam
"WHERE I FIND MY HEAVEN"
(Brower/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)
Hey Monday mornin' is only for the brave
And the blood flows through my heart and leaves like sand as I shave
And the wind outside, and the taxi's ready
And the lonesome hum that comes from my desk lamp is
Where I find my heaven
Is where I find my heaven
Is where I find my heaven
Heaven
But Sunday mornin' is only for the blessed
And the grace keeps flowing just as long as we can stay undressed
And a whispered word in my spirit lies
And the sacred moments of silliness are
Where I find my heaven
Where I find my heaven
Where I find my heaven
Heaven
It's where I find my heaven
It's where I find my heaven
Where I find my heaven
It's where I find my heaven
Where I find my heaven
Where I find my heaven
Heaven
"RIDE ON BABY RIDE ON"
(Brouwer/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)
Does she know which way she's goin'
She's not sure which signs are slowing
With every mile she goes her audience is growing
Ride on - ride on
Ride on - ride on
Ride on - on...
She's sent them back to Indiana
'Cause there's just room for one companion
Maybe the two of them just couldn't understand her
Ride on - ride on
Ride on - ride on
Ride on - on...
And now she's queen of the hill, she's top of the heap
See her shifting her gears without missing a beat
I catch a glimpse as she speeds down my street
Ride on!
And now she's queen of the hill, she's top of the heap
See her shifting her gears without missing a beat
I catch a glimpse as she speeds down my street
Ride on - on!
Ride on - on!
Baby ride on and on, and on and on !
And on and on and on!
"LEMON PEELER"
(Brouwer/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)
Haven't lived until you've rid it - Haven't lived until you've rid it ride
Haven't lived until you've rid it - Haven't lived until you've rid it
Ride - ride the lemon peeler
Ride - ride the lemon peeler
Ride - ride the lemon peeler
That I bought from the junk dealer
Small in front and big in back pop a wheelie just like that - now ride
Baseball card stuck through the spokes just like summer with the folks
Ride - ride the lemon peeler
Ride - ride the lemon peeler
Ride - ride the lemon peeler
That I bought from the junk dealer
I found it in a suburban basement
Polished it up and now I'm facing(?) it
You know I paid a pretty penny
I've not seen one like that not any
Haven't lived until you've rid it - Haven't lived until you've rid it
Haven't lived until you've rid it - Haven't lived until you've rid it
Ride
Ride
Ride
Ride the lemon peeler
That I bought from the junk dealer
Come on take a look at my lemon peeler
