Brides Of Neptune

She says this is my movie,
so you'll do what i tell you.
There's a mixup in Bali -
you get chased by a monkey.

CHORUS
Brides of Neptune cross the water,
bring us your sons and bring us your daughters.
I won't forsake thee deep in the blue sea;
I'll take you home.

I tried dating a mermaid;
she buys pot from the first mate.
That mysterious cargo
is still guarded by monkeys.

Then
REPEAT CHORUS x2

REPEAT CHORUS x2

Brides of neptune
Brides of Neptune

Brides of Neptune
Guarded by monkeys


Shine

You could never be
What you wanted to be
'Cause sweetheart it takes time
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see

You'll be a Russian acrobat
You'll be like Burt Bacharach
You come to the party, you say "What's new pussycat?"
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see

Don't wanna talk about it
You come around to tell it
You're beautiful can't you see?
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see

(Someday you're gonna shine)
(Someday you're gonna shine)


Someday you're gonna shine

Someday you're gonna shine
(aaah) Someday you're gonna shine

Someday you're gonna shine (you're gonna shine)
(aaah) Someday you're gonna shine

Someday you're gonna shine
(aaah) Yeah someday you're gonna shine

You're gonna shine (Someday), you're gonna shine (you're gonna), you're gonna shine (shine) (Yeah), yeah, you're gonna shine
(aaah) Someday you're gonna shine

(Someday) Yeah, someday (you're gonna) you're gonna shine (shine), (yeah) you're gonna shine, someday you're gonna shine
(aaah) Someday,
You're gonna shine


Don't Bring Us Down

[não disponível]


Guarded By Monkeys

You are so beautiful
You should be hid deep in the jungle
On some forgotten island

I heard about you
I got your PGP key
I write you letters every day

CHORUS:
You are so beautiful
You should be guarded by monkeys
You are so beautiful

REPEAT CHORUS

I have invented
51 daylights
This does not seem to impress you

You are so beautiful
Sublime and classified
I can't stop thinking about you

REPEAT CHORUS x2


REPEAT CHORUS

CHORUS VARIATION:
You are so beautiful
You should be hid deep in the jungle
You are so beautiful

REPEAT CHORUS x2

You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful


Ain't That Strange

Big tall gay Joey's got his china dolls
While I'm sitting here at home with nothing at all
Ain't that strange, yeah, yeah
Ain't that strange?

My fallen Angelina left a week or so ago
A visit to her granny, took her nightclub clothes
Ain't that strange, yeah, yeah
Ain't that strange?

CHORUS:
A-we've been shut down
Pushed and messed around on
So Mariposa what you think
This is ridiculous
Should I be suspicious
Of these whiskers in the sink

My baby left me her brand new car
The ash-tray was filled with Philly blunt cigars
Ain't that strange, yeah, yeah
Ain't that strange?


Ain't that strange, yeah, yeah
Ain't that strange?


A-we've been shut down (Do do, do do doo do do)
Pushed and messed around on (Do do, do do doo do do)
So Mariposa what you think (Do do, do do doo do do doo)
This is ridiculous (Do do, do do doo do do)
Should I be suspicious (Do do, do do doo do do)
Of these whiskers in the sink (Do do, do do doo do do doo)

The sun is setting on at the Stockman's Lounge
'Cause someone drank my tanqueray and my baby's not around
Ain't that strange, hmm, hmm
Ain't that strange?

Big tall gay Joey's got his china dolls
While I'm sitting here at home with nothing at all
Ain't that strange, yeah, yeah
Ain't that strange?

Ain't that strange, yeah, yeah
Ain't that strange?


Ms. Santa Cruz County

So let's all be someone else
I'm tired of being myself
Let's all be someone else


You could be someone else
I know you're tired of yourself
You say you're so bored you could cry
Well let me tell you, so am I

Well, Lola came from Mesilla
She sometimes called herself Anita (background shout: Bebidas)
But no-one ever knew why
But things just seemed to work out right, right, right

CHORUS:
So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
So let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else


The blue ladies rode the bikes
And what they were, we assumed rhymed with bikes
But them one day one did not get out of bed
She was dead, and a guy, that's what the paramedic said

REPEAT CHORUS
So come on down Miss Santa Cruz County
Won't you come on down from your daddy's hydroponic farm?
'Cause there's no shame in being seen as the Artichoke Festival Queen
You know we like what you've become
You know we like what you've become

REPEAT CHORUS

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (so tired)(do do do doo do do do)
Let's all be somebody else
Let's all be someone else

REPEAT CHORUS

Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Someone else



Superfan
I heard the words, now here I am
You were talking to me, I'm your super fan
I loved you then, I love you still
But if I can't have you, no-one will
Woah!



I will make you understand
I'm your super fan


I know how you like it
I was watching from outside my love
I saw her leaving
She's not right for you my life, my love
I know what hurts you
Sing it to me again my life, my love
I know what hurts you
...I could hurt you

I'll track you down, I'll steal your mail
A lock of hair, some fingernails
A piece of you upon my shrine
Now you're with me all the time

If I can't have you, no-one will
If I can't have you, no-one will
If I can't have you, no-one will
If I can't have you, no-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will


Sweet Magdalena of My Misfortune

I have lost the one I love to someone else
She lies beside me, but she's not here, she's far away
She's walking softly, she's talking sweetly about a dream
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?
Things I lost, left behind, or threw away
They gather in the dusky light of reverie
Always with me, where I go, sweet company, or is it misery?
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?

There're so many ways to go and lay your burdens down
Yeah, so many hours from now to the dawn
Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay just one more day
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?
Yeah

Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay for just one more day
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?
Yeah, sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?


Merry Christmas Emily

Emily was twenty three
Sitting on the ground
Under a dead palm tree
6th and Speedway
On Christmas day
It seemed like things were gonna go my way

But we had some good times
Drinking cheap wine and popping pills
Spending the holidays
Getting drunk at the Rusty Nail

But then there's...

Emily from a good family
They fucked* your head (* messed in the radio version)
And sent you to me

'Its a Wonderful Life'
Is playing on the TV
I still think about you
Do you think about me

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still think about me
(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)
Mer-ry Christmas Emily

It may have seemed
like i was down and out
But my insurance claim
Was still paying out
You were heading back up
While I was going down
So I reformed the band
To try to keep you around

Then we had some bad times
Drinking wine in the summer heat
A couple loud arguments
Standing in the middle of Congress St.
Then there's Emily
Under the dead palm tree
Its Christmas day
And its like 80 degrees
I still think about you
Do you still think about me

(Merry christmas Emily)
Mer-ry Christmas Emily
(Merry christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still think about me
(Merry christmas Emily)
Mer-ry Christmas Emily
(Merry christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still think about me
(Merry christmas Emily)
Mer-ry Christmas Emily
(Merry christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still think about me
(Merry christmas Emily)
Mer-ry Christmas Emily
(Merry christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still think about me
(FADE)


Forever

Movie stars
And magazines
Life is good
Grass is green

Come ride with me
Down 62
'Cause all I want
Is to be with you

Past rusted out
Faded towns
Little places
Broken down

Life is good
When I’m with you
I don’t need
Anything.

CHORUS
I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
Now and forever, forever


Crystalline
Those perfect dreams
Its all wide open
At seventeen

Start again
Me and you
A simple life
On Route 62

Rusted out
Broken down
Little places
Falling down

Life is good
Or so it seems
I don’t need
Anything.

REPEAT CHORUS

Forever
Forever

REPEAT CHORUS

Yeah forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever.



Shameless

You're so shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down

You're so shameless
But what goes it comes around

And on a trip to Mexico
Never knew that it could snow
We shared a bed like days gone by
The mistresses all knew your name
The minister started acting strange

Shameless
Don't really wanna know what's going on
You're so shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down

And on a trip to Yellow Knife
Professor Panos and his wife
Secret dealings at the Quebec bar
With an arctic wilderness guide
Says he was a retired Canadian spy

Shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down (hm-hm, no-no)
You're so shameless
Don't really wanna know what's going on (hm-hm-hm)

You're so shameless
But what goes it comes around
Yeah you're so shameless (shameless)
Yeah you're so shameless (shameless)

You're so shameless (yeah yeah shameless)
You're so shameless
You're so shameless (you should be guarded by monkeys)
You're so shameless (you should be guarded by monkeys)


One Fine Day

This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

And all you liars come out
And all you thieves you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day

These crippled legs will walk again
One fine day
This broken heart will love again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

And all you liars come out
And all you hoars you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day

This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

And all you liars come out
And all you hoars you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day
Yeah come into the light of one fine day
Come into the light of one fine day
Come into the light of one fine day

Mentone, Yucaipa

DAVID LOWERY:
The name is MC Cracker D.
The singer in this band.

And if you’ve got a problem
With your geometry
I can help you out with that
Cause I have a mathematics degree

CHORUS
Hey, hey, you don’t know what you’re missing

Hey, hey, you don’t know what you’re missing
Now.

BRANDY WOOD:
Here I am the only girl
So I get my own room
Unless somebody needs the phone
And then I get the broom

Checking out the haircuts
Not making any fuss
I ask one up for tea
But David throws him off the bus.

(he was a drummer!)

REPEAT CHORUS

(give me some room)
(I smell something)
(you call that a guitar solo?)
(i’m trying)
(you call that a guitar solo?)

KENNY MARGOLIS:
Me and my boy Sammy
We’re hanging in the park
(his science is strong)
There’s plants and birds
(mysterioso!)
And rocks and things we
Best be home by dark
Climbing up, sliding down
Tumbling with the tots
Swinging sounds of laughter
Does anyone remember laughter?
(yeah that was Uncle Led Zeppelin right?)

CHORUS
(okay throw that chair Johnny)

JOHNNY HICKMAN:
They call me Lonesome Johnny
I helped to start this band
(yeah right)
Came up with MC Cracker D
But was not in Camper Van

But Sometimes it plays me
(your pants are too tight)
And I don’t look like Richard Grieco
That pendejo looks like me.
(ohhh)

I’m da man for her too
(dream on brother!)
I may not be a singer
But I play one on TV
I wrote myself deese lyrics
Wid a rhyming dictionary

CHORUS
(protegido por monos)

We have lots of friends
In our extended family
Of freaks and geeks and wierdos
That keep it quite unique
So if you think you’re one of us
I’ll tell you what to do
Step over have a listen
Then you’ll know just what you’re missing.
