Viscount I 03:34
It's hunting season, I see no reason To be at school all alone I got my hand out for the handout A pack of Viscount I For all your trouble, there on the double I got a lighter too! They're long & skinny They're Top Jimmy You got nothing to lose Make sure to cover all the holes And suck that smoke right up your nose It's hunting season, I see no reason To be at school all alone I got my hand out for the handout A pack of Viscount I I got my hand out for the handout A pack of Viscount I When winter comes Will you still be alone? When winter comes Will someone ever notice you? Make sure to cover all the holes And suck that smoke right up your nose

Louise 03:55
Louise, we'll get you back where you belong Louise, we'll get you back where you belong You're lonely and lovely But everything is wrong Louise, we'll get you back where you belong I must admit that I played it wrong Because I don't know how to get along Louise, we'll get you back where you belong Louise, we'll get you back where you belong You're lovely and lonely But everything is wrong Louise, we'll get you back where you belong I must admit that I played it wrong I don't know how to get along I'm in the middle of a couple of things Like doing laundry, and the Lord of The Rings So tip the postman, I like what he brings Or don't, it's all the same to me I'm in the middle of a couple of things Louise, we'll get you back where you belong

Six domestic calls and four assault calls But just just one drunk call This might be worth a call Six domestic calls and three alarm calls Two mischief calls And one fraud call Six domestic calls This might be worth a call This might be worth a call This might be worth all your calls

Firesign 03:50
In your eyes Fighting to be on my side Through the hardest times And you sigh -- "How could this be my life?" Do you wonder why Sometimes -- You feel perfectly fine But tonight -- How will we ever survive? Firesign, won't you show me a light? Firesign, I want to be with you tonight Firesign, I promise to hold you all night Firesign, won't you show me a light? Don't know why I can't seem to keep you on side Nothing left to decide And I cry -- I wish you could see through my eyes You're a perfect delight -- a blue sky The sun never leaves it behind Firesign, won't you show me a light? Firesign, I want to be with you tonight Firesign, I promise to hold you all night Firesign, won't you show me a light?

The way you get in is not the way out There is no way out The way you get in is not the way out There is no way out You climb to go down and you can't turn around There is no way out I was here in the morning I will sleep here tonight The way you get in is not the way out There is no way out Show me something simple, won't you? That's good enough for you Show me something simple, won't you? That's good enough for you

I was reeling By the water's edge And the sky Hadn't fallen yet Won't you, won't you make a sound Won't you, don't you make a sound I was reeling Sitting on a stump And the ground Didn't open up Won't you, don't you make a sound Won't you, don't you make a sound Won't you, don't you make a sound Won't you, don't you make a sound I tried to imagine the walls moving in But they don't budge they're far to thin, yeah I tried to imagine the sky's gonna fall But it don't move, it don't budge at all, yeah Won't you, don't you make a sound Won't you, don't you make a sound

Conscience 03:33
