IT'S ALL TRUE

I haven't cried baby since I learned to talk
Haven't fallen down since I learned to walk
And I don't get bored watching the tube
And I never had a rock in my shoe

And if I tried baby, would you mess me 'round?
Would we both get bored by the simple sound
Sorry about dropping that lude
It just seemed like the best thing to do

It's all true
I got me
She's got you
And we got time to share a few

You never get me down when I'm feeling blue
When I tell you lies you won't believe they're true
Now I really should be on my way
Think I'm gonna stick around all day

It's all true
I got me
She's got you
And we got time to share a few

She's so precise with her exacto knife
She's gonna take her life

I don't wake up with a sudden start
With some empty arms and a broken heart
And I don't get bored watching the tube.

IF I COULD TALK I'D TELL YOU

Half past 9
quarter to 10
10:15 and we're comin' around again

hold off are we going soft?
flushed my Zoloft and we're comin' around again

found out and I almost drowned
walked back down and we're comin' around again

If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
If I could talk I'd tell you
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

Khmer Rouge genocide qua
your place or Mein Kamph now I'm givin the dog a bone
slight hunch without the vaugest clue
to keep the blood balanced now we're comin around again

1/2 past 9
quarter to 2
10:15 now we're comin' around again

If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
you are far and away
my most imaginary friend

BREAK ME

Speak so softly and lowly
like you want me to hear
and It just shows to me
no need to speak clear
you're away on a movie
I want you to be

be

you're away on a painting
and I want you to be
and It just ain't worth waiting
for what I don't want to see
you're away on a painting
It don't bother me

me

come on baby
say you don't hate me
grape leaf stay fair save me
startin' all over
heather clover
come over rover

break me

speak so softly and lowly
like you want me to hear

HOSPITAL

There's a disease
goin' round the hospital
green green leaves
fallin' from the trees

you gotta run away
you gotta spin a web
you gotta stay out late
you gotta stay in bed

THE OUTDOOR TYPE

Always had a roof above me
always paid the rent
and I never set foot inside a tent
couldn't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type

I never slept out underneath the stars
the closest that I came to that
was one time my car
broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type

too scared to let you know
you knew what you were looking for
I lied untill I fit the bill God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike

I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
what if somethings on TV and it's never shown again
It's just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type
never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

LOSING YOUR MIND

What a comfort to find out you're losing your mind
when you re-realize that It's not the first time
burnt the beyond when you learned how to fly
just to learn later on that there isn't a sky
there aren't any clouds and there aren't any trees
and there aren't any birds and there's no cinder caught in my eye

til' I've tied a tired knot and tried to untie
It I just can't decide If I should lie
or tell the truth and try to hide it

SOMETHING'S MISSING

It's no trick to decide on your own
you feel it when you feel fine later on
a shower you can't depend on at all
It's too hot then It's too cold then It's warm

somethings missing
something's missing
something's missing from my life
something's missing from my life

the things I don't multiply and divide
when I just can't decide
been here before It's gonna come back again
been here before It's gonna come back my friend

something's missing
something's missing
something's missing
something's missing from my life
I ain't quiet deep inside
I ain't even on my side
Something's missing from my life

there's nowhere I really wanted to stay
and nothing really makes it OK
nothing really makes it OK
there's nowhere I really wanted to stay
something's missing
something's missing
something's missing

KNOXVILLE GIRL

I met a little girl in Knoxville
a town we all know well
and every Sunday evening
out in her home I'd dwell
we went to take an evening
walk about a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the grownd
and I beat that fair girl down

she fell down on her bended knee
for mercy she did cry
Oh Willy dear don't kill me here
I'm unprepared to die
she never spoke another word
I only beat her more
untill the ground around us
with all her blood did pour

I took her by her golden curls
and drug her 'round and 'round
throwing her into the river
that flows through Knoxville town
go down go down you Knoxville girl
with the dark and rolling eye
go down go down you Knoxville girl
you can never be my bride

I headed back to Knoxville
got there about midnight
my mother she was worried
and woke up in a fright
saying dear son what have you done
to bloody your clothes so
I told my anxious mother
I was bleeding out my nose

I called for me a candle
to light myself to bed
I called for me a hankerchief
to bind my aching head
rolled and tumbled the whole night through
as troubles was for me
like flames of hell around my bed
and in my eyes could see

they carried me down to Knoxville
and they put me in a cell
my friends all tried to get me out
but none could go my bail
I'm here to waste my life away
down in this dirty old jail
because I murdered that Knoxville girl
the girl I loved so well

but something inside of me made me realize
something inside of me told me you were mine

ONE MORE TIME

One more time baby one more time

one more time baby one more time

one more time baby one more time

one more time baby one more time
one more time baby one more time

TENDERFOOT

This is the place where I save face
this is the spot where I jump off
this is the bar where I lose heart

over the pain and I'm past the bleeding
It's not the tracks It's where they're leading

this is my best King Carniubre
this is my scream It's just a dull roar
these are my hands I've shown you before

Over the pain and I'm past the bleedin'
its not the tracks, its where they're leading.

Hasn't been so bad here
yeah I'll do it again
error of my ways,
maybe one of these days
Hasn't been so bad here
yeah I'll do it again
error of my ways
maybe one of these days

It's irrelevant
I'm an elephant
she's a mouse
