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.
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
Low
Sometimes I wanna take you down.
Sometimes I wanna get you low.
Brush your hair back from your eyes.
Take you down let the river flow.
Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass.
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles
CHORUS:
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey hey hey like being stone.
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey hey hey like being stone.
A million poppies gonna make me sleep.
Just one rose and knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees
Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some junkie cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles
REPEAT CHORUS
Blue blue is the sun.
Brown brown is the sky.
Green green of her eyes.
A million miles a million miles
Hey hey don't you wanna go down
Like some disgraced cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles
REPEAT CHORUS
Get
Off This
All these cats with holey jeans, dirty
hair and titty rings,
Say what your scene man, we got these questions.
Is it true that you have sold your soul? I say hey man,
I don't know
Lend me a quarter won't you, I'll call my accountant.
CHORUS:
Let's get off this, and get on with it,
If you wanna change the world shut your mouth and start
to spin it
Get off this, get on with it
If you wanna change the world shut your mouth and start
this minute
Petty little Ayatollah come around
to judge and stone ya
all we're trying to do is make a fortune
Yeah we ain't got no government loans, and no one sends
a check from home
And get this: we're just doin' what we wanna
REPEAT CHORUS
Well the guitar player stayin' out
in Hollywood and sayin'
He's just trying' to get some sleep, but everyone's complain'
Are you truly deeply cynical 'cause boy you know I loved
you so
When no one knew your name and you were pompous. Still are
REPEAT CHORUS
Let's get off this, and get on with
it,
If you wanna change the world shut yer mouth and start to
spin it
Get off this, get on with it
If you wanna change the world shut your mouth, shut your
mouth y'all
ENDING (REPEAT TO FADE):
N-na na na na, n-na na na na
N-na na na na na naaa
Sweet
Potato
Be my sweet potato
Be my honey lamb
dance around the campfire
hang around a while
Well, I been caught stealin'
someone else's vibe,
everybody loves or hates us,
but we're still alive
CHORUS:
Well wake up in the morning
cup of coffee, grab your bags
jump into the caddie
'cause this tourin' ain't a drag.
They say overrated, educated
I suppose a little jaded.
When I get off this
I think I'm gonna have to be sedated.
So be my sweet potato,
I'll be your honey lamb,
give me some black tupelo,
I been caught again. Shit!
I went to New York City,
but then I come right back,
everyone was cool there,
I couldn't get no slack
You seen me in the papers,
You seen me in the Voice,
I think I'd stay in Dixie,
if I had the choice.
REPEAT CHORUS
Euro-Trash
Girl
Well I've been up to Paris, and I've slept in a
park.
Went down to Barcelona, someone broke in my car
And I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Took the train down to Athens, and
I slept in a fountain.
Some Swiss junkie in Turin, ripped me off for my cash.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
The CRS on the metro shook me down
for a bribe.
On my knees for the sergeant when my passport arrived.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash Girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash Girl
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Called my mom from a payphone, I said
"I'm down to my last."
She said "I sent you to college, now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married, well she hung up the phone.
You know she never did like me, but I can stand on my own.
Sold my plasma in Amsterdam: spent
it all in a night
Buying drinks at the Melk Weg for a soldier in drag.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Euro-trash Girl
my Euro-trash Girl
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Solo Johnny
Got a tattoo in Berlin and a case of
the crabs.
A rose and a dagger on the palm of my hand.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl
Euro-trash Girl
my Euro-trash Girl
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Shake
Some Action
I will find a way
To get to you someday
Cause I am so afraid I'd fall
Can't you hear me call
CHORUS:
Shake some action is what I need
To make me bust out at full speed
and I am sure that's all you'll need
to make it alright
It's take me so long
to get to where I belong
Lord don't make me send it back that way
Or I will make you pay
REPEAT CHORUS
You don't dig what I'm playing
Then I will go away
And I will turn around this little game
Cause I don't need your praise
Sweet
Thistle Pie
It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle
Pie
It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle Pie
She claps her hands and snaps her fingers
Knows my name but calls me Ginger
It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle Pie
Hey Hey Hey Yeah
Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie
It's been a long time since I've been
so very low
It's been a long time since I've been so very low
When I was young you were no stranger
Around the world and slip through my fingers
It's been a long time since I've been so very low
Hey Hey Hey Yeah
Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie
I'm
A Little Rocket Ship
I'm a little rocket ship,
I'll take you on a little trip
We'll leave this planet far behind
I'm a little tired of it,
and you're a little weary
I can tell, yeah yeah
Well, I'm a little rocket ship
And you are Queen Andromeda
of all the stars, those with names
and those in clusters
You are unaccountedly
infinite, so can't you see that
I'm a little rocket ship
I'm a little rocket ship
I'll take you on a little trip
And leave this planet far behind
Do you suppose that they've been here?
I don't know, but I've been there
Do you wanna come along?
I'm a little rocket ship
and you are crowned magnificent
of all the stars, those with names
and those in dingy drag bars
They plead with you not to go
to Pleiades or Scorpio
and I'm a little rocket ship
Big Dipper
Cigarette and carrot
juice
And get yourself a new tattoo for those sleeveless days
of June
I'm sitting on the Cafe Xeno's steps
with a book I haven't started yet
watching all the girls walk by
Could I take you out
I'll be yours without a doubt
on that big dipper
And if the sound of this it frightens
you
we could play it real cool
and act somewhat indifferent
And hey June why did you have to come,
why did you have to come around so soon
I wasn't ready for all this nature
The terrible green green grass, and
violent blooms of flowered dresses
and afternoons that make me sleepy
But we could wait awhile
before we push that dull turnstile
into the passage
The thousands they had tread
and others sometimes fled
before their turn came
And we could wait our lives
before a chance arrives
before the passage
From the top you can see Monterey
or think about San Jose
though I know it`s not that pleasant
And hey Jim Kerouac brother of the
famous Jack
or so he likes to say "lucky bastard"
He's sitting on the cafe Xeno's steps
with a girl I'm not over yet
watching all the world go by
Boy you are looking bad
Did I make you feel that sad
I'm honestly flattered
But if she asks me out
I'll be hers without a doubt
on that big dipper
Cigarettes and carrot juice
and get yourself a new tattoo for those sleeveless days
of June
I'm sitting on the cafe Xeno's steps
I haven't got the courage yet, I haven't got the courage
yet,
I haven't got the courage yet
Seven
Days
So we were standing, like the last rock band on
the planet
Of vapor trails and alpine skies
It's all green fields, yellow flowers, and brown liquor
Oh brown liquor
Bug's got a job in the Catskills
Met some fraulein along the way
Took her home, but then she had an episode
Though it did disturb him, he was strangely compelled
Seven days will I've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days will I've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing
So we were standing around, fading
in and out of fashion
While Amerikids dug Eurobeats
Well we know all of the doormen and other bartendresses
And there ain't nothing that you don't got that we don't
need
Did I say that right?
Seven days will I've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days will I've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing
Around
The World

Be
My Love
I dream a white bright light
In endless fevered night
A birdwing brush across my back, you say to me
You could be my love
The green Sargasso Sea
You're lying next to me
You could be my love, you could be my love
I dream of starfish bright
Or horses in the sea
They sparkle back at me and you say
What you waiting for?
The madness to set in
The orchestra begins
Well you could be my love, you could be my love (you could
be my love)
Across the shining seas
you're caried on the breeze
The fiddler starts his tune, the sirens sing (?)
You could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love, you could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love, You could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love, You could be my love
Heaven
Knows I'm Lonely Now
Wake up Miss Maria I think that she been off
From falling off at Boston you're walking up a couple o'
blocks
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
I'm kissin' ass on Monday, just want

It's lonely at the bottom, that's why there's no-one hangin'
around
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Don't wake up Miss Christina 'cause

Something 'bout some money, some night we spent together,

Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Wake up Miss Maria 'cause I think she's

From falling off a bar stool, 'cause man you know that's
lots o' hard work
Well heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
