Teen Angst (What
The World Needs Now)
I don't know what the world may need,
but I'm sure as hell that is starts with me.
And that's a wisdom,
I've laughed at.
I don't know what the world may want,
but a good stiff drink it surely don't.
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one.
Cause, what the world needs now
is a new kind of tension.
Cause the old one just bores me to death.
Cause, what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
I don't know what the world may need,
but a V8 engine is a good start for me.
Think I'll drive to find a place,
to be surly.
I don't know what the world may want,
but some words of wisdom could comfort us.
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.
Cause, what the world needs now
are some true words of wisdom
like La La La La La
Cause, what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
I don't know what the world may need,
and I never grasped your complexities.
I'd be happy just to get your attention.
And, I don't know what the world may want,
but your long, sweet body lying next
to mine could certainly raise my spirits.
Cause what the world needs now
is a new Frank Sinatra
so I can get you in bed.
Cause what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
Happy
Birthday To Me
I was having a good sleep in my car
In the parking lot of the Showboat Casino Hotel
I said I remember you, you drove like a PTA
mother
You brought me draft beer in a plastic cup.
I'm feeling thankful for the small things
today.
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today.
CHORUS:
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me, and to you
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me, and to you
I'm feeling thankful for the small things
today.
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today.
I said I remember you, I crashed your wedding.
With some orange crepe paper and some Halloween candy.
Sometimes I wish I were Catholic - I don't
know why.
I guess I'm happy to see your face at a time like this
REPEAT CHORUS
Happy birthday baby, to me.
Happy birthday, to me.
Happy birthday, to me.
Happy birthday baby, to me.
This
Is Cracker Soul
Hey hey it's okay to make
a little mess out of your life.
'Cause you don't need a diagram
to show you how to have a good time.
CHORUS:
I said hey (hey)
Don't mean to frighten you away.
This is Cracker soul, it comes so easy.
I said hey (hey)
Don't get your head a mess.
This is just the best, it comes so easy.
It comes so easy.
Hey hey it's okay to never know
the answer but ask why. (why oh why?)
'Cause you don't need another burden
come and party with your spirit guide.
I said hey (hey)
Don't get your head a mess.
This is Cracker Soul
It comes so easy.
I said hey (hey)
Don't get yourself distressed.
Love is just the best
when comes easy.
It comes so easy.
REPEAT CHORUS
I See The Light
I'd really like to see you now
In your father's combat boots
I'd really like to be with you
'Cause we could be so dark
It was only for the grace of you
That I got this attitude
I'll show you my gratitude
When I make it though
CHORUS:
I see the light at the end of the tunnel now (I see the
light)
Someone please tell me it's not a train (train, I see the
light)
I see the light at the end of the tunnel now (I see the
light)
No time to speak, no time to explain
Sometimes I imagine you
Lying in your bed
Sometimes do you imagine too?
Do you sometimes lust
For the grace that others have inside
The simple peace they make with life
They feel love like some summer's night
Well I want it too
REPEAT CHORUS
Do do dooo do, do do dooo do, do do dooo
do
Do do dooo do, do do dooo do, do do dooo do
(I see the light)
REPEAT CHORUS
I see the light now, I see the light now,
I see the light now, now
I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light
now, now, now, now, na na
I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light
now (yeah-heh)
I see the li-hi-hight I see the li-hi-hight
I see the light, now, now, I see the light, I see the light,
now
I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light
(BEGINS TO FADE)
I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light
I see the light, I see the light, I see the light
St.
Cajetan
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan?
I once knew a well so sweet.
I put my lips, my lips to the pail to drink.
But I would give it all up for some water.
You know I don't feel well.
Got the salty taste of my tears.
And all I want is some relief from this.
You know I don't feel well
Been tossed and turned on this ocean.
And all I want is this one wish.
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan?
All I want is a cool drink of water.
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan?
All I want is a cool drink of water.
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan?
All I want is a cool drink of water.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan?
Mr.
Wrong
Well, meet me by the river that goes nowhere.
Let me lay my sorry trip on you.
Won't you meet me by the river, little darling'?
I might just let you see my bad tattoo.
Well I was gonna bring you flowers, but I
didn't.
It's the thought that counts and I think I'm a bit too broke.
But there's some change in my ashtray--maybe just enough
to pay.
For a half pint of somethin', probably make us choke.
CHORUS:
Well you know I'd rather not go and meet your family.
They'd probably send me back where I belong.
Don't want to hear about Mr. Right.
'Cause he's out of town tonight.
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong.
I drive a one-eyed Malibu without a muffler.
And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough.
And baby if you like to read, I've got some great pornography.
And a ten pound flashlight rolling in the trunk.
REPEAT CHORUS
Now, do you have a girlfriend and does she
look as good as you?
Would she like to meet my brother?
He'll be out of jail in a month or two.
REPEAT CHORUS
Where I come from they call me Mr. Wrong.
Someday
CHORUS:
Someday well I'll get it right.
Yeah one day I'll get it right.
Someday well I'll get it right.
Yeah one day I'll get it right.
And I had a dream last night
that I was feeling barely human.
So save me a place in your parking lot.
And save me a place beside you
when you lie down to sleep at night.
Someday I'll get it right.
REPEAT CHORUS
And if you see the dark clouds
gathering out on the horizon.
Don't be alarmed
their just there for me.
Just save me a place beside you
when you lie down to sleep at night.
Someday I'll get it right.
REPEAT CHORUS
Can
I Take My Gun To Heaven?
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
You know she's always been by my side
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
I'll check it with St. Peter at the gate
And if I had a woman that was faithful
Or even kind some of the time
I'd drag her on up to the gates of heaven
Or follow her right down to the gates of hell
REPEAT CHORUS
When I come home from a long day a-working
at the prison
I find my woman she's not around
She's down at Dahlie's corner a-playing cards and drinking
Or sitting on the cars singing Dixie with the boys
REPEAT CHORUS
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
Satisfy You
As far as I know, the world don't spin
They carry you around in your bed
And rearrange the stars all night
to satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Could I redeem myself
If I was someone else
I'd walk on the water
In your dad's swimming pool
Show you my bloody palms
If I thought that would satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Now I'm not wise, and I'm not old
So I'll be bitter, and I'll be cruel
I just did it less each and every day
Did I satisfy
Did I saaaaaaaatisfy-ha-ah-ah-ay ha-ah-ah you
Until satisfy-ha-ah-ah-ay ha-ah-ah you
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satis--oh till I satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until I satisfy
Another
Song About The Rain
Wind of fate has pried us loose
Light of mercy hurts my eyes
Is it worth the things you lose
To board the train and watch the sky
BRIDGE:
I sing myself to sleep at night
I sing myself to sleep
CHORUS:
Another song about the rain
Coming down it burns through me
Another song about the rain
Got a line straight from my heart
Was a time it ran to you.
Another place where we were smart
Before the flood and time was through
REPEAT BRIDGE
REPEAT CHORUS
Sorry now I never made you see
Sorry now sounds so far away
Will our child cry for me
When he hears the dragon's flame
Highway flares make red the streets
My fingers spin the dial again
But every station on the news, yeah
(Another song about the rain) Another song
about the rain
(Another song about the rain) Another song about the rain
(Another song about the rain) Another song about the rain
(Another song about the rain) Never rained so viciously
Don't Fuck Me Up (With Peace And Love)
Don't mess me up by being kind
Don't mess me up by being wise
Now here I am, I am the angel of Earth
And I have come to bring you my burden
Now here I am, I am the game warden of love
'til someone took away my gin and tonic
Don't mess me up I'm on a roll
Keep being wise, I'll be inspired
Don't fuck me up with peace and love when
I haven't got it in me
Don't fuck me up with peace and love when I haven't got
it in me
I haven't got it in me
I haven't got it in me,
Anymore
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love (no
don't fuck me)
Don't fuck me up with peace and love (no don't fuck me)
Don't fuck me up with peace and love (no don't fuck me)
Don't fuck me up with peace and love (no don't fuck me)
Dr.
Bernice
Okay 1 2 3 2 2
Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice.
She's not a lady doctor at all.
She's got hands like a man.
With hair on the back.
She'll crush you with her embrace.
Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
We all need a kind place to live.
Though the wind may whisper and howl at your door
We all need the comfort of friends.
Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice.
That ain't a real cadillac.
It's a delta 88 spray painted black
with fake leather seats from Juarez
Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
On a hot desert night it is still.
Though the world may whisper and howl at your door
You're not obliged to let them all in.
Okay Johnny.
Baby don't you drive ride in that faux cadillac
If you must please ride in the back.
If you sing while you ride you'll be a siren tonight.
Spare this poor sailor's life from the rocks.
Though the wind may whisper a melody now.
We can't find a tune of our own.
Though the world may whisper and blow in your face
and tangle the hair on your head.
On a hot desert night we can drive down the
road
And the stars will spell out your name.
On a hot desert night with the windows down wide.
The sirens will sing me their song.
And the ghosts of the sailors who died on
the rocks
Feel not a twitch of regret.
Though the wind may tangle the hair on your head.
You sing like a siren to me.
On a hot desert night, the caravan stops
At the oasis next to your heart.
The soundtrack is played by some aged British queen
On BBC Radio One.
Though the wind my whisper and epic sometime
the cast must include Karen Black.
Though the symphony strings shifts with the sand.
You sing like a siren to me.
You sing like a siren to me
You sing like a siren to me
