THE HOLIDAY SONG

Well sit right down my wicked son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand

He took his sister from his head
And then painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And they kissed 'till they were dead

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

Well sit right down my evil son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand



I'M AMAZED

...girls and fucked 'em at school. l I know is that there were rumors he
was into field hockey players. So he applied basically. He was gone the
next day. And went off with the team. It's like, he was go-they just like,
it was so hush hush. They were so...quiet about it. And then the next thing
you know...

The day before
I was wed
She went upstairs
And then she cut her head away

I'm amazed (4x)

And when I was
A little boy
A ball of string
Might get up to the rain (???)

Before I died
I took my Honda
And cranked it up up up
Too bad it don't have no brakes

I'm amazed (4x)



ROCK A MY SOUL

I turned you on the roof
to shine your face at me.
Drink wine from your tears, rollin'.
Holly molly,
Rock a my-
soul.

Hey, rock a my soul (4)
hard.

I'm waiting!
We're waiting!
for electric-
in a manor.

I'm waiting.
We're waiting,
sister shaking.

Harder I try,
although, (?)
harder I feel,
like a
Coletrain-
No brain.
Rock a my soul!

Hey, rock a my soul.
Hey, rock a my soul!
Oh, rock a my soul!
Hey, rock a my soul,
hard.

I'm waiting.
We're waiting,
for electric-
in a manor

I'm waiting.
We're waiting!


ISLA DE ENCANTA

Je, Monito vien comigo (2x)
Hay aviones cada hora
Isla de Encanta
Irme hoy (3x)

Donde no hay sufrimiento (2x)
No pidas rumpassa por la calle
Isla de Encanta
Irme hoy (3x)

Nuestro proprio animal
Cantala henta pragati
Hey babe, what are we doing here?

Laaaa
Laaa
Patria

Isla de Encanto
Irme hoy (3x)



CARIBOU

I live cement
I hate this street
Give dirt to me
I bite lament
This human form
Where I was born
I now repent

Caribou (3x)

Repent
Re-pe-ent

Give me white
Ground to run
And foregone
Lets me naive
Nothing lets
I will get
What I like

Caribou (3x)

Repent
Rep-pent



BROKEN FACE

I got a broken face
I got a
I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face (3x)

There was this boy who had two
Children with his sisters
They were his daughters
They were his favorite lovers

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I got a broken face, uh-hu, uh-hu
I got a broken face

There was this man who snapped his poke
In little pieces
And then they drilled holes
And then they put 'em back in there

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue

I got a broken face
Uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, uh-hu, ooo
I got a broken face

The little thing who loves my mother
Speaks no English
But if you saw her
You'd say "Hey isn't she lovely"

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Where there were eyes there's only space
I got no lips, I got no tongue



BUILD HIGH

Build high (4x)
Cause my old man is bleeding
and my poor dog needs feeding
and this time i'm really broke
let me feel your leg of hope around me
Build high (10x)

Put me in the risers (Fill me up with pride)
cuz i'm beautiful and I don't have no pretty friends, can't pretend.
I'm tired of believing in the things that go on here.
(Lately) it feels just like there's something forming in the air air air
(Baby look what's real there's something in the air)
I say build build build
I say build build build
Build high (10x)



NIMROD'S SON

One night upon my motorcycle through the
desert spead
And smashed my body so that all my friends
thought I was dead
My sister held me close and whispered to my
bleeding head
"You are the son of a mother fucker"

One two three four

I shook all night and held her hand
In tropic heat, well I'll be damned
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son

Oh bury me
Far away please
Bury me

Ha-haaa
The joke has come upon me

In my motorcycle mirror I think about the life
I've led
And how my soul's been aking all the holes
where I have bled
My image spoke to me, yes to me and often
said
"You are the son of incestuous union"

One two three

Now my head is clear
My luke hands washed
My daughter's pure
My son is whole
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son

Oh bury me
Far away please
Bury me

Ha-ha Ha-ha
The joke has come upon me



ED IS DEAD

Her head is in a bitter way
Her brain's on fire
She's just looking for the perfect wave
It's her brain's desire
I'll think of her when I walk the strand
On this true hormos a night

Ed is dead (4x)

She's just rotting in stupid bliss
With music on her bars uh
Her face burning in the L.A. sun
She got no got no fear of cars
I better kick my strand cruiser
To the friendlier oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ed is dead (4x)

Ed is dead
Ed is, yeah Ed is
Ed is dead (3x)
E.I.D. (3x)

No, no, no, no, no



SUBBACULTCHA

This is a song about something there
there is something about this song
we did the clubs what ass
I was hoping to have her in the sack
I was looking handsome
she was looking like an erotic vulture
I was all dressed in black
she was all dressed up in black
every thing was fine down here
what you call it here
call it what you will here
way down down down in this subbacultcha
her warm white belly in the life I'd lived had seen
nothing
finer she shakes and she moves me or something
she's like jellyroll like sculpture
I was wearing eyeliner
she was wearing eyeliner
it was so good down here
saving for my scrapbook here
way down down down in this subbacultcha
now we live on the sea and relax and ride the tack
drug running on this Panamanian schooner
she walks the deck in a black dress
and me I dress up in black
and we listen to the sea
and look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
what you call it
when you look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
you know when you grope for luna.



BOOM CHICKABOOM

[não disponível]



I'VE BEEN TIRED

One two three
She's a real left winger 'cause she's been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said I could tell you stories that could make you cry
What about you?
I said me too
I could tell you a story that would make you cry
And she sighed ah
I said I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed
I like Lou Reed she said sticking her tongue in my ear
Let's go, let's sit, let's talk politics go so good with beer
And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest
fears?
I said loosing my penis to a whore with disease
Just kidding I said
Loosing my life to a whore with disease
She said excuse me please...?
I said loosing my life to a horrible disease
I said please
I'm a humble guy with healthy desires
Don't give me no shit because...

I've been tired (6x)

I tell a tale of a girl, but I call her a woman
She's a little bit older than me
Strong legs,
strong face,
voice like milk,
breasts like a cluster of grapes
I can't escape the ways she raise me
She'll make you feel like Solomon be one of your babies even if you had no one
(And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?)
I don't wanna sleep after setting my loins on fire
But that's OK because...

I've been tired (6x)

I've been tired (9x)
T i r e d spells it
Spells it


BREAK MY BODY

I'm a hard looser
You'll find me crashing through my
mother's door
I am the ugly lover
You'll find us crawling on the dirty floor

Break my body, hold my bones, hold my
bones (3x)

I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake forever and I'll never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flying in the air

Break my body, hold my bones, hold my
bones (3x)

Somebody got hurt
Somebody get hurt
Somebody got her



OH MY GOLLY!

Demtro las piñones y las holas riqueña.
Oh my golly! Oh my golly!
Caminamos bagala luna caribe
Oh my golly! Oh my golly!
Besando, chichando con Surfer Rosa
Oh my golly! Oh my golly!
Entonces se fue en fus madera
Oh my golly! Oh my golly!

Rosa, oh oh ooh Rosa!
Rosa, oh oh ooh Rosa!

Yo soy playero pero no hay playa
Oh my golly! Oh my golly!
Bien perdida la Surfer Rosa
Oh my golly! Oh my golly!
La vida total es un porqueria
Oh my golly! Oh my golly!
Me hecho menos m'as que vida
Oh my golly! Oh my golly!

Rosa, oh oh ooh Rosa! Huh Huh
Rosa, oh oh ooh Rosa! Huh Huh
"You fucking die" I said, to her
I said "YOU FUCKING DIE", to her
Huh? What?
No, no! I was talking to Kim
I said "...you fucking die"
No, I was just- we were just goofing around
No, no. It didn't have anything to do with anything
She said "don't touch, anybody touch this is my stuff"
And I said "You fucking die" like that
I was finishing her part for her

You know what I mean?



VAMOS

Esta pensando sobre viviendo con mi sister en New Jersey
Hecho me dijo que es una vida buena
Enriqua bien chevere

We'll keep well bred
We'll stay well fed
We'll have our sons
They will be all well hung

They'll come and play
Their friends will say
Your daddy's rich
Your mamma's a pretty thing

That maid Maria she's really OK

Vamos a jugar por la playa (5x)

I keep gettin' friends
Looking like lesbians
If we get bored
We'll move to California

They'll come and play
Their friends will say
Your daddy's rich
Your momma's a pretty thing

That maid Maria she's really OK

Vamos a jugar por la playa (5x)

WHERE IS MY MIND?

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the
ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Ooooh

With your feet in the air and your head on the
ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh



CACTUS

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

I miss your kissin' and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

WAVE OF MUTILATION

cease to resist, giving my goodbye
drive my car into the ocean
you'll think I'm dead, but I sail
away
on a wave of mutilation
a wave
wave

I've kissed mermaids, rode the el
nino
walked the sand with the
crustaceans
could find my way to Mariana
on a wave of mutilation,
wave of mutilation
wave of mutilation
wave
wave of mutilation
wave



MONKEY GONE TO HEAVEN

there was a guy
an under water guy who controlled
the sea
got killed by ten million pounds of
sludge
from new York and new jersey
this monkey's gone to heaven

the creature in the sky
got sucked in ahole
now there's a hole in the sky
and the ground's not cold
and if the ground's not cold
everything is gonna burn
we'll all take turns
I'll get mine, too
this monkey's gone to haven

rock me Joe!
if man is 5, if man is 5, if man is 5,
then the devil is 6, then the devil is
6,
then the devil is 6, and if the devil
is 6
then god is 7, then god is 7, then
god is 7
this monkey's gone to heaven

THE HOLIDAY SONG

Well sit right down my wicked son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand

He took his sister from his head
And then painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And they kissed 'till they were dead

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

Well sit right down my evil son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand


INTO THE WHITE

And there ain't no night
And there ain't no night

Did you hear what I said
Come into the white (?)

Into the White [3X]

And there ain't no day
And there ain't no day

And there ain't no night
And there ain't no night

Into the White [3X]

Did you hear what I said?
Did you hear what I said?

Deeper than your sleepy haed
Deeper than your sleepy head

Ain't nothin' to see
Ain't nothin' in sight

Into the white [3X]

Go, and you'll go real far
Go, and you'll go real far

Just past the big quasar
Just past the big quasar

Can't hitch a meteorite
Can't hitch a meteorite

Into the white [13X]



IS SHE WEIRD

I know you're rich in
good clothes and little things
your mind is fancy
(and your car is bitchin')

is she weird
is she weird, is she white
is she promised to the night
and her head has no room
and her head has no room

your heart is ripshit
your mouth is everywhere
I'm lyin' in it

is she weird
is she over me
like the stars and the sun
like the stars and the sun
is she weird
is she weird, is she white
is she promised to the night
and her head has no room!

no more of this girl cryin'
I'm here, your big man
you're mine

is she weird, is she white
is she promised to the night
and her head has no room

PLANET OF SOUND

One fine day in my odd past

I picked me up a transmission
I turned the fission ignition
went looking for the broadcaster
and when I first touched some ground
they simply told me leave
was kind of hard to believe
`cause there was not one around

this ain't the planet sound
this ain't the planet sound this ain't the
planet sound
this ain't the planet sound

I had a talented wine
that land o' classical gas
and on the planet of glass
they sent me skipping through time
I got to somewhere renowned
for it's canals and color of red
and lots of guys who shook their heads
rhythmically to resound

this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't no rock and roll town
this ain't no fuckin' around
this ain't no planet of sound

I met a guy in a rover
he said its one more over
its just there where your bound

this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound
this ain't the planet of sound.
