a little ukulelele
00:03

|

i thought the ukulele was just a silly toy
but santa came to show me that i'm a silly boy
now I play ukulele every night and every day
and i want the world to play a little ukulelele
i can fit it in my backpack or hang it from my neck
and when i'm in the mountains i play it while i treck
i play it for the wildlife i meet along the way
'cause i want them all to play a little ukulelele
a little uku uku uku uku
le le le le le le le le
when i feel like trouble follows me around
i sing a little story and strum a little sound
all my little troubles are likely here to stay
so please don't take away my little ukulelele
it's like a little geetar with just the four high strings
always nice to have if you're the kind that always sings
or give one to a bully who has nothing nice to say
'cause they all just need to play a little ukulelele
a little uku uku uku uku
le le le le le le le le
when i feel like trouble follows me around
i sing a little story and strum a little sound
all my little troubles are likely here to stay
so please don't take away my little ukulelele

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

australia es distinto
nada está extinto
hay de todo
cuidado cuando sales
hay reptiles, animales
e insectos
es muy peligroso
y mas horroroso
que tus pesadillas
hay que identificarlos
y luego, evitarlos
para salvar tu vida
cuidado donde vayas en australia
no tendrás ayuda
tu móvil no tiene cobertura
la historia de australia
no es ficción, ni es humor
tendrás suerte si vuelves solo con dolor
la gente es amable
y tan adorable
es un truco
te dan mucha cerveza
confunden tu cabeza
y tu corazón
si te quieres integrar
hay que dominar
rugby y cricket
si te quieres comunicar
siempre tienes que gritar
"cunt!" y "get fucked!"
cuidado donde vayas en australia
no tendrás ayuda
tu móvil no tiene cobertura
la historia de australia
no es ficción, ni es humor
tendrás suerte si vuelves solo con dolor

ball and chain
04:00

|

i never wanna have a ball and chain
i hear the story time and time again
they pour you in a bowl
and eat up your soul
and the rest they pour down the drain
i'm never gonna say "i do"
they don't say what you're signing up to
it all starts fun
but once the wedding's done
she wants the sperm from you
then there's the mother-in-law
who can't wait to be grandma
she's shopping for cribs
crocheting bibs
and preaching her blah blah blah
soon there's babies everywhere
crying and puking in your hair
your wife is acting hyper
'cause you cannot change a diaper
and grandma smells like underwear
next you're working like a fool
trying to put the kids through school
but they take your car keys
drive your car through some trees
and park it in a swimming pool
but you keep paying for it all
while grandma moves in down the hall
and you've got no defense
and no help from your friends
you don't even get your one phone call
so that's about it until you die
and if you're wondering why
my song is so long
well, my feelings are strong
it's a message from a happy single guy
and why i never wanna have a ball and chain
i hear the story time and time again
they pour you in a bowl
and eat up your soul
and the rest they pour down the drain
yes the rest they pour down the drain
no you don't even own your own brain
i'd rather move in with the insane

bite your lip like an f
00:03
|
|
||
people try to say there's a way you should live
tell them that you quit, not a shit should you give
people have a need to be seen like they're tough
show them you don't care, all they wear is their fluff
go your way
when they tell you to obey
make your bed
with someone else instead
it's okay
to leave the war they play
feed your head
fight the doom and the dread
if you want to run, then run
what's the point of waiting
when the rule is said and done
no one can control you
if the role you play is deaf
raise your middle finger
bite your lip like an f
people try to claim that the blame is on you
turn away and walk from their talk and their view
people need to gain like a vein that they feed
still they only crave like a slave to their greed

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 just ignores me no matter how hard i wag
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 gave him a rabbit, i gave 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
and telling that joke about a dog walking into a bar, i think
i said, "that's still not funny and why are you looking at me funny?
you never knew i could talk 'cause you don't talk to me, dummy"
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

something died in braidwood as i was walking through
sure was not no wombat, sure was not no roo
i could tell from looks i got from folks in braidwood town
her love for me is what had died and she was not around
braidwood, whatcha do, did you scare my love away?
i could have come back to a home to share with her someday
did she mention why she left or maybe where she'd gone?
you could have told her something to keep her hanging on
i walked into the op shop, i walked into the post
i walked into the braidwood pub, places she liked most
everyone just looked at me and then they looked away
i asked them if they'd seen my love, they wouldn't even say
braidwood, whatcha do, did you let my love go free?
you threw away my one last hope for a future family
did you give her my last message, did you tell her what i said?
i wanted to explain myself, but she'd already gone to bed
i'm still here in braidwood with nothing much to do
sometimes at the braidwood pub i see folks i once knew
i put up a wanted sign with my love's photo there
if you see her, there's a reward if you tell me where
braidwood, whatcha do, did you meddle with my life?
are you so lonely you can't let me settle with a wife?
i will still forgive you 'til i reach that happy end
we will stick together, braidwood, we're each other's friend

a cutie little booty make my rap absurd
i see a tiny hiney and i fuck up the words
i been rappin ever since my mom could crawl
but i pass a little ass and i can't rap at all
butts are fillin' up my mind
butts are killin' all my rhymes
my mojo don't work, my rap got no flow
there ain't room for both so one's got to go
butts, butts
i was always rappin' in my downtown cage
'til i got a chance to hit the uptown stage
when the moment came for me to rock the mic
all the booty shake and my brain take a hike
butts are fillin' up my mind
butts are killin' all my rhymes
my mojo don't work, my rap got no flow
there ain't room for both so one's got to go
butts, butts
if you think that rappin' is a piece of cake
try to wrap a rap around a booty shake
all the booty knockin' up inside my head
knock me out until i gotta go to bed
butts are fillin' up my mind
butts are killin' all my rhymes
my mojo don't work, my rap got no flow
there ain't room for both so one's got to go
butts, butts

long ago as wanna be mavericks
trying to light our little matches
artwork and music blended
words meant more than the singer intended
we prayed for the day we were let in the club
to cherish the sacred ticket stub
time flew so much faster
once in the rye, now the catcher
we're still chasing after
clowns who never lost their laughter
through the years we learned the secrets
learned the chords, learned the sequence
hard work and friendship married
love weighed more than the gear we carried
we held on tight 'til the dream came true
and time would tell what the future knew
time flew so much faster
once in the rye, now the catcher
we're still chasing after
clowns who never lost their laughter
after all it doesn't matter
if we get rich or just get fatter
inside some minor changes
the major theme just rearranges
we fish for the ones who can take the joke
and laugh 'til we go up in smoke
time flew so much faster
once in the rye, now the catcher
we're still chasing after
clowns who never lost their laughter

sand on a shore
reminds me more and more
of the times i was picking on a beach
everything i played
was fresh, homemade
songs drifted in my front door
but now when i pick
this old dried-up stick
it doesn't seem to have much to say
something's gone wrong
there's no sign of a song
it's best at picking dust off the floor
dear guitar my old friend
let's not let this be the end
we have barely played the heart strings of our love
i know it's been quite a while
since we made each other smile
you will always be the friend i'm thinking of
sun on the wood
made it play so good
like the wildlife was coming to a show
singing to the trees
picking with the ease
of a train that cannot stop when it should
but now i just wait
my train is still late
i don't even know if it still runs
somewhere down the track
i hope that it comes back
that happy little train that always could
dear guitar my old friend
let's not let this be the end
we have barely played the heart strings of our love
i know it's been quite a while
since we made each other smile
you will always be the friend i'm thinking of

flashback

rewind to the time when i was small
back when i couldn't even crawl
just a round ten-pound sponge
on the hunt for my next lunch
ten years flew by like tiny birds
playing games and learning words
music lessons after school
flashback
memories that made it to the middle of my brain
keep coming back
flashback
moments that were made to remain
and to never go black
and then again two times ten
making noise and pushing a pen
homework left me in the shade
music always made the grade
thirties sent me way out west
golden gates made my new nest
working just to pay the dues
feeding fire to the muse
flashback
memories that made it to the middle of my brain
keep coming back
flashback
moments that were made to remain
and to never go black
forties flew me overseas
a multinational swarm of bees
driving hard and selling songs
back to bed before the dawn
flashback
memories that made it to the middle of my brain
keep coming back
flashback
moments that were made to remain
and to never go black

sometimes i sit and grin
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
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
and 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

grow
every seed we sow
like birds and bees

how plants and trees
grow up from below
grow grow
g is for garden and green plants that grow
guess how we get all the great food we know
sunlight and water and good ground below
gifts from a garden are what make us go
g is for grow or we say germinate
when a seed sprouts after two flowers mate
good care is given and then we just wait
we grow like grass from the food we create
grow
every seed we sow
like birds and bees
when they say hello
grow grow grow
but i need to know
how plants and trees
grow up from below
grow grow grow
grow grow grow
g is for great and how grateful we feel
reaping a harvest of food that is real
seeding and weeding and eating our meal
gardening cycles and turns like a wheel
grow
every seed we sow
like birds and bees
when they say hello
grow grow grow
but i need to know
how plants and trees
grow up from below

here is how i take you
00:03

i'm a bird, i can fly
you are jealous and i understand why
i'm a fish, i can swim
try to catch me, but your chances are slim
i'm a dog, i can bark
you will fear me when you hear me in the dark
i'm a cat in a tree
don't you wish your girlfriend could climb like me?
here is where i tower
here is how you cower
here is where i break you
here is how i take you
i'm a bee, i can sting
bother me and you know what that will bring
i'm a snake, i can slide
try to find me when i slither and hide
i'm a horse, i can run
try to ride me and you'll see who has the fun
i'm a bear in a cave
try to own me and i'll send you to your grave
here is where i tower
here is how you cower
here is where i break you
here is how i take you

spending my life sitting around
looking at the clock, staring at the ground
squinting at the signs at the side of the road
thinking about the times they said stop and they said go
all of the hours, all of the days
time i could have spent in different ways
then the moment came when the thought came along
all of that time i could have written a song
now when i sit and i sit and i sit
my brain starts to think until it writes me a hit
i don't have to drive or move anymore
i just get up to get the check at my door
you can be glad if you have time to think
most people live like they're dying to blink
sitting around might be just the right thing
open your mouth and see what you sing
hit writer - in one afternoon
hit writer - just a rhyme and a tune
hit writer - writing on into the night
hit writer - repeat after me
hit writer - on the one and the three
hit writer - write until you hit it right

how high we climb
00:03
|
|
||
mixing up a fact with a fake
might be our very biggest mistake
one more careless slip-up we cannot afford
we come to a split in the road
where everyone's opinions explode
regulating systems with one accord
how high we climb, how high we climb, how high we climb
and don't know where we're heading
how high we climb, how high we climb, how high we climb
to fall down again and it gets under my skin
trusting in the people who lead
we bargain with the love that we need
love can save a life at the end of the day
they say that the hurting will end
but nobody is certain when
we can wash our hands of the choices we made
how high we climb, how high we climb, how high we climb
and don't know where we're heading
how high we climb, how high we climb, how high we climb
to fall down again and it gets under my skin
waiting for a change more or less
everyone gets sick of the stress
maybe we should just throw away the tv
the doctors and the teachers know best
but no one knows who wrote the tests
and no one can be sure if the cure is soon to be
how high we climb, how high we climb, how high we climb
and don't know where we're heading
how high we climb, how high we climb, how high we climb
to fall down again and it gets under my skin
how high we climb, how high we climb, how high we climb
how high we climb

i don't like christmas
00:03
|
|
||
i don't like christmas so don't sing to me
singing can't help the world make harmony
most people can't even sing right in key
what they call christmas sounds like misery
carolers came to my door with their cheer
singing like they weren't able to hear
hurts like a worm eating into my ear
i'll set a trap for them same time next year
singing is not what we're needing more of
making more noise is like making bad love
"do you hear what i hear?" ringing above
i'll cut my ears off if push comes to shove
who are these christmas-folk singing about?
jesus and angels and some guy named claus
"peace upon earth" they keep shouting out loud
if i want peace then i can't leave the house
think of your neighbors if you can't sing well
i'll make the next guy eat his jingle bells
angels on high singing "the first noël"
if they come down they can go straight to hell

if you and i are a song
then i'm getting all the words wrong
i keep trying to make it rhyme
hoping you'll join in sometime
you could fool me easily
humming some dumb melody
i would think our song's a hit
but would you remember it?
so i sing the song to you
and you hum along with me
sometimes we don't seem to find a harmony
but then we meet each other's eyes
and i can see you realize
i'd play this song all day
if you wanted me to
if you and i are a game
then our rules are not at all the same
i keep playing nice and slow
you beat me twice in a row
but i keep on swinging away
just in case i hit someday
would it mean i'd have a chance
to make a move and to advance?
so i hit the ball to you
and you hit the ball to me
sometimes you slam it when i hit it nicely
but then we meet each other's eyes
and i can see you realize
i'd play this game all day
if you wanted me to
if you and i are a road
then we're moving a fragile load
i could go or i could stay
you only seem to move one way
somewhere between hope and doubt
spinning in a round-about
could it mean i'll never know
where this road could ever go?
so i show the way to you
and you show the way to me
sometimes i wonder if it still will someway be
but then we meet each other's eyes
and i can see you realize
i'd stay this way all day
if you wanted me to

are you ready? i have something to tell you
in case you haven't picked up on my clues
if you could read my mind
you'd see in every line
my heart is inside out like front page news
are you ready? i have something to tell you
such heartfelt words i've never said before
i'll keep them clear and brief
i wear them on my sleeve
i see no reason why i should say more
it would take most of my life
to tell you what my dreams can see
and take up all the rest
to tell you what they mean to me
are you ready? i have something to tell you
and it's high time since everyone already knows
i need no symphony
i wrote some poetry
and you're standing right here so here goes
i love you
i love you
i, l, o, v, e, y, o, u
if it's flowers you want, it's the flower shop you get
if you want loving memories, i won't forget
to show you now and always, even on sundays

early in the morning at the light of dawn
her heavenly vision standing on my lawn
she had the scent of a holy flower
and she said, "boy, come light my fire"
sweet was the burn from her sweet ground
my world was turned upside down
my wedding day, my loving wife
my mary jane, she saved my life
early in the morning, late in the evening
she's the reason, she keeps me breathing

sure as the sun, sure as the rain
my love will grow like mary jane
sure as the sun, sure as the rain
my love will grow like mary jane

early in the morning, late in the evening
she's the reason, keeps me breathing

i asked my mommy for salami in my lunch today
but then you tried to take my sandwich when i looked away
it's not my fault if you don't get salami in your lunch
i'll stare at you at make you watch me munch and munch and munch
my lunch is mine, mine
and if you whine, fine
i'll kick you and i'll shove you
'cause your mommy doesn't love you
and it's mine, mine
there is no fine line
you should be on a diet
'cause you got a big behind
you asked your daddy if you could go out with me to play
and he said yes, but clean your mess and put your toys away
so then you had no toys to play with when we were outdoors
it's your own fault so give mine back to me 'cause they're not yours
my toys are mine, mine
and if you whine, fine
i'll pull your hair and slap you
and i'll scratch you if i have to
but they're mine, mine
it takes no einstein
i told you you could play with me
but now you crossed the line
i asked you over to my house so we could watch tv
but then you started asking me to watch your dvd
i wouldn't ask you over if i thought you would complain
i'll tie you up and make you watch me eat my lunch again
my tv's mine, mine
and if you whine, fine
i'm gonna educate you
'cause your mom and daddy hate you
'cause it's mine, mine
and no means nein, du schwein
i'm sick of it so stick it
where the sun will never shine
you told the teacher you were gonna color in your book
and you think i don't know that those were all my pens you took
so just like with my lunch and with my toys and my tv
the teacher's gonna teach you not to take my pens from me
my pens are mine, mine
and if you whine, fine
i'll poke you with a pencil
and i'll stab you with a stencil
'cause they're mine, mine
so stop your lying and crying
i'm not your friend and you can't even
draw inside the lines

there goes missy may
always trying to run away
taking from the till
flying like a whip-poor-will
missy may and pistol pete
missy may and pistol pete
fall fall falling rain
wash away the weather vane
north south east west
running like a wild guess
missy may and pistol pete
missy may and pistol pete
there goes pistol pete
always trying to trick or treat
broke so many hearts
falling like a house of cards
missy may and pistol pete
missy may and pistol pete
smoke smoke smoking gun
pistol pointed at the sun
missy's on the plains
love is like a hurricane
missy may and pistol pete
missy may and pistol pete

there's a pretty girl who plays guitar
she likes to sing at the local bar
i go in there, i sit and drink
but not for the reason that you might think
i told her she should play there more
she said "i've seen you here alone before"
i told her "i am not alone
my banjo doesn't like to stay at home"
my banjo has a crush on your guitar
that's why i'm drinking in this bar
i can tell the way it picks
my five-string wants to meet your six
i asked her if she'd like to jam
she said "it's late, i have to catch the tram"
i said "could we play sometime soon?"
she said "i'm sorry, i don't know that tune"
so then she said "now listen dear
you and your friend should have a beer"
i said "i think we missed last call
and my banjo doesn't drink at all"
my banjo has a crush on your guitar
that's why i'm drinking in this bar
they could learn each other's licks
my five-string wants to meet your six
so guitar girl, she rolled her eyes
and said "right, have a good night, guys"
but then she made a frightened face
my banjo rose out of its case
the bar door shut all by itself
glasses fell down off the shelf
"the fun you made of me" i said
has made my banjo very mad"
my banjo has a crush on your guitar
that's why i'm drinking in this bar
it knows all of your lyrics
my five-string wants to meet your six
so she and i were trapped inside
she cried for help so i replied
"my banjo's fair, it doesn't bite
it plays 'dueling banjos' all night"
then her guitar began to play
she and i both backed away
she said "can we get out of here?"
i said "my place is very near"
my banjo has a crush on your guitar
that's why i'm drinking in this bar
it thinks they'd make the perfect mix
my five-string wants to meet your six

come on everybody it's naked time
leave your clothes on the clothing line
somebody decided that it's a crime
to show your skin - no! - let it shine
come on everybody let's all undress
we feel more free when we wear more less
it's more than just a right to express
we just feel right in the nude i guess
no clothes - they just get in the way
no clothes - the way we should dress every day
no clothes - come and get close to me
no clothes - and take off that accessory
adam and eve knew how to begin
they had no clothes, they only had skin
somebody decided that's original sin
but skin is the thing we were all born in
no clothes - they just get in the way
no clothes - the way we should dress every day
no clothes - come and get close to me
no clothes - and take off that accessory
some people say that culture is crude
when others decide to dress in the nude
we know from eve when she bit the fruit
that we're best dressed in our birthday suits
no clothes - they just get in the way
no clothes - the way we should dress every day
no clothes - come and get close to me
no clothes - and take off that accessory

número uno
00:03

it's hard to impress anyone anymore
and hard to express something not said before
but you only have to know número uno
the number one someone who you're writing for
if you think that you've got something to say
or something to play in a musical way
just start to write, there's no right and no wrong
you could write a song about writing a song
you don't need to think that it needs to be deep
you can dream up a song when you're deep in your sleep
you don't need to think that you need to show off
showing yourself is showing enough
it's hard to impress anyone anymore
and hard to express something not said before
but you only have to know número uno
the number one someone who you're writing for
it could all be made up or entirely true
just so it comes from the inside of you
trying too hard is a hard way to go
but something will come from the hard work you show
writing is fun and it's all because
there's only one thing to be sure that one does
just be yourself, only you play that part
everything comes from your head and your heart
it's hard to impress anyone anymore
and hard to express something not said before
but you only have to know número uno
the number one someone who you're writing for
to know what you feel and what you're feeling for
writing leads to writing leads to writing more

you were doing homework in the morning in the kitchen while you spread the butter on your toast and ate it while you stapled all your papers but the butter on your fingers and the stapler made the stapler slip and staple through your finger tip and that is when it
hurts
bloody butter dripping and you're stapled to your homework
and it hurts
you can keep on trying but you're always close to dying
pain hurts
you were riding on your bike and getting close to school but when you got up to an intersection you were looking at a pretty student who was walking so you did not see the teacher driving right in front of you and you flew off your bike and that is when it
hurts
flying off your bike and then run over by the teacher
and it hurts
you can keep on trying but you're always close to dying
pain hurts
you were laying on a stretcher staring at the ceiling when the doctor said that you would have to stay there for a month and so you got up just to use the toilet but you did not know there was a tube inside your arm and you cut off your blood and that is when it
hurts
cutting off your blood supply and dying in a stretcher
and it hurts
you can keep on trying but you're always close to dying
pain hurts
you were dead and angels would not let you into heaven so the devil let you into hell to work for him by digging in the ashes that were burning and your contract was forever but forever is too long and so i have to end this song now and it
hurts

she'll find you
02:35
|
|

she always finds a way
to find you every day
she calls you at your home
or on your mobile phone
she reaches you online
just to say the weather's fine
any poor excuse
just to give you more abuse
wherever you go she'll find you
she's the fly on your food, the stone in your shoe
she's like santa claus or the world wide web
she knows when you wake up and when you go to bed
how many ways have you tried
to give her the message that she won't be your bride
without a trace
she no comprende inglés
she stares at you like her head has nothing inside
once you realize that she's stalking
you'll be blocking
all her calls
but there's so many ways
to be found these days
so she's got you by the balls
she shows up at a bar
where she knows you are
and casts her evil glare
at other women there
she has her mind set
that you're playing hard to get
little does she know
you would rather kiss her bro
wherever you go she'll find you
she's the fly on your food, the stone in your shoe
she's like the nsa or the irs
there's no point in hiding 'cause she's got your address
how many ways have you tried
to give her the message that she won't be your bride
without a trace
she no comprende inglés
she stares at you like her head has nothing inside
you know that she'll find you 'cause there's nowhere to hide
you could only get away if somehow she died

i'm single guy, single guy
i don't have a girlfriend, please don't ask me why
i'm single guy, single guy
i never get the last piece of the pie
i go into a bar and take a look around
hoping that the girls don't smell that i'm a hound
i walk up to a miss
and ask her how she is
the only thing she says is "good. bye."
that's why i'm single guy, single guy
women get a notion not to let me catch their eye
i'm single guy, single guy
i love fishing, but i always go home dry
one time i met a girl and i thought i made the cut
she talked to me all night until the bar was shut
so then i told the chick
"don't run away too quick"
she said "i'm not, my boyfriend worked the bar all night"
i'm single guy, single guy
i always score a zero and that's my all-time high
i'm single guy, single guy
if charm could kill, i couldn't kill a fly
one time a woman said "please come to my bed"
i figured there was only one way that line could be read
she brought me to her room
and handed me a broom
"there's a spider in my sheets!" was why
i'm still single guy, single guy
i'd be mister right, but i'm wrong each time i try
i'm single guy, single guy
my mother's even helping me, i wish that was a lie

(lyrics co-written by andrea pérez bejarano)
sola
todo a tu manera, sin tenerme presente
solo mi ilusión
siempre tu canción
me dejaste cantando sola
sola
nada huele igual en la habitación
aún no me dijiste
que cambió, por qué te fuiste
me despierto confundida, sola
sola
noches eternas, mirada vacía
repito en mi pensamiento
has empezado otro cuento?
mi papel es quedarme sola

sometimes we wonder
00:03
|
|
||
sometimes we like someone
and we like them in a special way
not like a pet
they're more than that
and we think about them everyday
we wonder if they know
and if they know we know they know
and 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
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"

i think you and i are such a mellow melody
always good together like a happy harmony
like a special song that we are singing constantly
now i start to see that i am driving you crazy
i'm just a sound check
i think we are a hit
but you're treating me like
i'm just a sound check
you got me like a drug
and then you pull the plug
you are telling me you want to take a holiday
so i start to talk about a lovely place to stay
you look at me funny and i say are you okay
now i realize that you are pushing me away
i'm just a sound check
i think we are a hit
but you're treating me like
i'm just a sound check
you got me like a drug
and then you pull the plug
i know this song by heart
you tear my heart apart
when i'm rich and famous you will fall in love with me
yesterday my mother said she saw me on tv
i ask you if you would like to smoke some funny plants
we could go out to a show and then go out to dance
i get high and you say bye so then i lose my chance
now one year and it is clear i won't get in your pants
i'm just a sound check
i think we are a hit
but you're treating me like
i'm just a sound check
you got me like a drug
and then you pull the plug

the dink donk song
03:47
|
|

if i could live my whole life again
i would not want to have you just as a friend
'cause when we dated some time
i thought things were fine
but you kicked me right in my rear end
dink donk
do you remember once you were small?
yes you looked up to me 'cause i was your all
but then you stabbed me one time
and kicked my behind
and you left me to break and to fall
dink donk
and i fell down down down
like a big clown clown clown
oh yes i fell down down down
dink donk
you play with me just like i'm a toy
you talk to me like i'm a dumb little boy
and while you're playing around i drop to the ground
i feel pain when you're laughing with joy
dink donk
you know you said that our love was real
but then you turn around and say you can't deal
i wish you'd make up your mind
you're deaf dumb and blind
and you surely don't know how to feel
dink donk
and i feel down down down
should i kneel down down down?
oh yes i feel down down down
dink donk
all i can do now is sing this song
it is the only way for me to go on
i wish that i could just die
i'm weak like a fly
you're the queen and i'm less than a pawn
dink donk
this is the dink donk song

there's a lot of you i want to thank
you paid for the beer i drank
i know my songs are funny
and thanks for your money
i'm drinking all the way to the bank
i want to thank the technical dude
the lights sure sounded good
and the friendly staff
i'm glad i made you laugh
i want to have sex with all of you
now i really have to end my show
i'm sorry but the answer's no
if you're cute and legal age
you can come backstage
but you won't be the same when you go

me
on the train one day
you wouldn't look my way
but then you finally did and then you didn't look away
you
going through your change
and you were changing trains
so then we joined the cue and me and you made our exchange
everything just started spinning
and my number started winning
like the saints all started sinning
at the start of the beginning
then
blending with the crowd
the train was hot and loud
you asked me what was next and so i guess we hit the town
we
drank a lot of wine
and it was argentine
and in the tango that we danced i knew the chance was mine
everything just started spinning
and my number started winning
like the saints all started sinning
at the start of the beginning
bye
good luck all you songs
you made me big and strong
maybe someday someone will come and want to play along

look for their poop

there's no deer here
find their hoof prints
where they'd been since

there's no deer here

nightfall is near
drink one more beer

think
00:03
|
|
||
a thought is a thing you think in your brain
think a while and you can link your thoughts like a chain
chain them all together and you'll think anything
it would take forever to think everything
now someone may think a very bad thought
something they try not to think but they cannot not
i think i can think of some so if it's okay
here are some examples of some thinking today
one day at a school in the art class
one kid thought that he would make some art from his ass
he shoved a big tube right up his rear end
and shat through the tube into the ass of a friend
a man was online and posted an ad
eating someone's penis was the thought that he had
sure enough he found a guy and cut off his pride
he tried to feed it back to him but then the guy died
then there was a man who needed some cash
so he thought he'd enter in a bug-eating match
first he ate worms, then cockroaches too
just after he won he choked to death on his spew
and there was a guy who was a rock star
he thought if he hung himself his dick would get hard
one day he was hanging from the knob of a door
he had so much fun he couldn't breathe anymore
the list just goes on and yes it's all true
it's all on the internet for you to read through
these are just examples of some people i found
some end up in jail and some end up in the ground
so if you have thoughts watch out where they go
keep them safe inside you so that others won't know
all your thoughts are locked up like a safe in your skull
if you let them out your life will never be dull

i'm freaking out tonight
because the inside isn't doing right
i'm freaking out tonight
and i'm taking everything in sight
you can tell the entertainers
and the party masqueraders
that i'm tipping all the waiters
and i'm turning up the faders
tonight
i'm watching out tonight
because so many say i don't live right
i'm watching out tonight
but i don't even want to start a fight
you can tell the mediators
and the big negotiators
that i'm not a big debater
and i won't be back later
tonight
i'm getting out tonight
because my papers aren't looking right
i'm getting out tonight
and i'm leaving on a one way flight
you can tell investigators
and the mass communicators
that i'm not an instigator
i'm just living like a traitor
tonight
delegators, litigators, arbitrators, moderators,
stipulators, educators, designators, postulators,
inundators, calculators, generators, modulators,
nominators, heads of staters, all just complicators
tonight

05:06
|
|

tonight i drunk so much i couldn't drunk no more
i'm thanking all my angels for showing me the floor
'cause without a floor i'd be on air
an astronaut with not a care
i'd start to wonder what all this is for
tonight i drunk so much that things are back the same
her eyes, her nose, her lips that always said my name
i used to think it was the drink
that turned her back on me
but she's back to me tonight like an old flame
i told her i would never let another drink get in our way
and if it asked me out to play i'd have to say "another day"
i told her i would never drink until the drink was drinking me
until it dragged me out to sea and let me sink in misery
i told her i would never lie about the times when i was getting
drunk enough to keep forgetting i was letting everything drift on by
bye-bye
tonight i drunk so much i never knew no pain
i'd eat up that whole cake someone left out in the rain
if i could sway a better way
i'd have my final drink today
but tonight a drink goes right straight to my vein

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 who knew my age still didn't care
my wife was unaware of my affairs
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 did 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 a scary nightmare
all that's left to lose is all my air

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 could not find my toilet in the dark
in the light of day i found my bed was wet
and you had no alibi because i had no pet
you had a singing gig, your 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 men's room and your 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 more alive
but they mean less now since 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

time just got away again
i don't know how i keep missing my train
maybe i don't need to be
anywhere else than where i was just then
i'll be just fine doing my thing
everyone else can go on wandering
maybe i'll sit here asking why
why all the world and the sky
or i can be happy that i
i have the time to watch people go by
animals fly, they don't ask why
i forgot my way again
maybe this leads me to back where i was
i always fine there's something new
i'll let the others keep searching because
i'll be just fine doing my thing
everyone else can go on wandering
maybe i'll sit here asking why
why all the world and the sky
or i can be happy that i
i have the time to watch hours go by
animals fly, they don't ask why
