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
03:25
|
|||
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?

Show Me Something Simple
04:22
|
|||
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

Thousand Year Flood
04:21
|
|||
We're gettin' killed here
And you're all supposed to know
But we're sticking around, yeah
Though we're all supposed to go
And it's coming in
And we're forced against the flow
And we're gettin' killed here
And we're forced against the flow
Every two years -- violence
Every two years -- violence
Thousand year flood
We're gettin' killed here
And you're all supposed to know
But we're sticking around, yeah
Because we're forced against the flow
And it's coming in
But we're sticking around, don't you know
Every two years -- violence
Every two years -- violence
Thousand year flood
We're gettin' killed here
And we're forced against the flow

Don't Make A Sound
03:30
|
|||
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
|
|||
I don't need no conscience, lately
Everyone tells me just what I'm supposed to do
I don't need no conscience, lately
I'll leave it up to you
I don't need no conscience, lately
Everyone tells me just what I'm supposed to do
I don't need no drugs now, baby
I'm strong enough to know what I have to do
I don't need no conscience, lately
I'm smart enough to know what I'm supposed to do
I'll leave it up to you
I'll leave it up to be just like you, yeah
I don't need no conscience, lately
Everyone tells me just what I'm supposed to do
I don't need no conscience, lately
I'll leave it up to you
I only want to be just like you
I'll leave it up to you
I'll leave it up to you
I only want to be just like you
I don't need no conscience, lately

Coin With Two Heads
04:05
|
|||
Don't walk off, your space gets lost
Tempers flare but you've turned soft
The switch is so far down the basement steps
And you just don't know what's down there yet
You don't know how lucky you are
Like a coin with two heads
Scratch a sweepstakes card
