when you drank

do you remember when you drank
and you told me i will always be the one you have to thank
for the memories, the kind reminders
of the way you were when you drank
early one morning after the bar
you were still drinking and you couldn't find my toilet in the dark
in the light of day i found my bed was wet
and you had nothing to say because i had no pet
you had a singing gig, the band was pretty known
but you said after we could leave and make some music of our own
you were nowhere to be found when you were through
you were in the bathroom and the bass player was in you
do you remember when you drank
and you told me i will always be the one you have to thank
for the memories, the kind reminders
of the way you were when you drank
we had a break-up for a little while
so i was seeing other women just to have myself a smile
one day you came by to fix your broken heart
you proved your love by breaking my guitar
then late one evening you took a little drive
and you said the words that always made you feel most alive
and they mean more now than when you took that turn
"there's always time to live and learn"
do you remember when you drank
and you told me i will always be the one you have to thank
for the memories, the kind reminders
of the way you were when you drank

blue dog blues (live)

i sit on the floor and look up at my man
i whine at him all day, but he don't understand
i don't like canned food or food in a bag
my man ignores me no matter how hard i nag
my man he treats me like i'm paying for a crime
i could sit and whine at him all day, but my man pays me no mind
i walk to the table and sit at his feet
i give him those eyes so he'll give me some meat
he acts like a blind man, like he's got special needs
if i was a seeing-eye dog i'd always get my feed
my man he treats me like he lives all alone
he eats up all the red meat, he don't even throw me a bone
i found him a rabbit, i found him a squirrel
i'm always a good dog 'round the next door girl
i don't do doo-doos on the front lawn
i don't hump the post lady when my man is gone
my man he treats me like i'm here for free rent
i'll be the first thing on his mind when his last dollar is spent
i walked into a bar, my man was having a drink
he was telling a joke about a dog walking into a bar, i think
i said "funny joke, but don't look at me funny
you never knew i could talk 'cause you never talk to me"
my man he treats me like all he needs is booze and smokes
i guess it's like they say, you can't teach an old man new jokes

when i had hair

when i had hair
my memory was safe and sound up there
i knew when my car last had repair
ask me for directions, i knew where
now all is lost from all the wear and tear
back in the days
when i had hair
girls would know my age, but still not care
my wife was unaware of my affair
now i see a girl and i just stare
i don't know if i'm wearing underwear
when i had hair
i danced around like i was fred astaire
i'd do anything just on a dare
but getting any action now is rare
i can barely get out of a chair
back in the days
when i had hair
i felt like a multi-millionaire
with more than my fair share of fame and flair
now i'm just a nightmare of despair
all that's left to loose is all my air

grin

sometimes i sit and grin
and think about the shit i'm in
but then i think again
the shit i'm in is not as shitty
as the shit where others have been
that's why i grin
when i told my dog to stay
he never ever would obey
and then he ran away
it didn't matter when i heard
that san francisco fell in the bay
i felt okay
i asked a girl to be my bride
but she just threw my ring aside
well i just cried and cried
but then some major war began
and no one knew which leader had lied
everyone died
sometimes i just can't win
i think about the shit i'm in
but then i think again
the shit i'm in is not as shitty
as the shit where others have been
and then i grin
i had a party no one came
i had nobody i could claim
and no one knew my name
but lots of people think that if they blow themselves up
they will find fame
then they find flame
if you think you don't belong
like you've been dealt the cards all wrong
there's reason to be strong
if you're just the one guy in the orchestra
who plays the gong
you end the song

sometimes we wonder
01:50
|

|
sometimes we like someone
and we like them in a special way
not like a pet
it's more than that
and we think about them everyday
we wonder if they know
and if they know we know they know
if we show that side
will they go and hide
so they won't have to say "no"
sometimes we need a friend
to talk to about that special friend
someone to say
"it's best this way"
when things don't go right in the end
we wonder if it's guff
do they want to hear our stuff?
when they say "of course
that's what friends are for"
have they really heard enough?
sometimes we write a song
to help our feelings move along
if we can sing
about something
our feelings may not hurt so long
we wonder how the fall
had made us feel so weak and small
then it starts to seem
like a silly dream
and nothing hurts at all
sometimes we say "good-bye"
and we don't feel that we need to cry
it's good to know
when we let go
we find we're also saying "hi"

australia (live)

australia is distinct
nothing is extinct
they've got it all
beware if you go out
of reptiles all about
insects and animals
always look for danger
think like a bush ranger
if you want to survive
identify each creature
know each and every feature
or you won't go home alive
watch out if you go out in australia
you get no protection
your mobile phone gets no reception
hold your laughter
it's you they're after
you'll only have yourself to blame
you'll be lucky to return only in pain
the people are so warm
they seem to mean no harm
they've got it down to an art
they get inside your head
then get you into bed
and steal your heart
if you want to integrate
you must appreciate
rugby and cricket
know all the native sounds
and learn how to pronounce
"cunt" and "get fucked"
watch out if you go out in australia
you'd better use protection
or they'll plant the seed of deception
hold your laughter
it's you they're after
you'll only have yourself to blame
you'll be lucky to return only in pain
get fucked
