1.Every Poet Wants To Murder Shakespeare
Every poet wants to murder shakespeare
We e just pissing on the grave of what went on before
And everyone invents the world the day that they were born
Something going on here and it going on without me
I standing on the precipice and counting all my recipes
I sick and tired of paying homage to the altar
Of the things that went before me when i wasn born to be there
Every poet wants to murder shakespeare
We e just pissing on the grave of what went on before
And everyone invents the world the day that they were born
There a painting of my lover in the corner
She taken off her clothing and she standing in the rain
Seems like she beckoning for me to come and join her
But she trapped inside a painting and i running out of patience
I sip a pint of beer and marvel at the magic
I must be as drunk as mister marlowe in his prime
I stumble through the shambles of my own imagination
ause the poet of tomorrow will be just as drunk as i am
Every poet wants to murder shakespeare
We e just pissing on the grave of what went on before
And everyone invents the world the day that they were born
Every poet wants to murder shakespeare
We e just pissing on the grave of what went on before
And everyone invents the world the day that they were born
Every poet wants to murder shakespeare...
2.It Over Now
I like to remember you the way you look this very moment
But now we e past it and i memorizing that you were in it
Someone has to make the move to say good-bye so say good-bye
It over now, it over now, it over now ...
Your eyes are still off-center on your face, it strange to
mention
It been a year or so since i e been aware of your imperfections
I can imagine loving someone else but i will work it out
It over now, it over now, it over now ...
We l make the same mistakes again we e got our methods down
It over now, it over now, it over now ...
When i was seventeen i felt emotions unknown to mankind
The love i had, the pain i felt began when it was mine
Now as the end approaches i roll my eyes no, not again.
It over now, it over now, it over now ...
And if you change your mind just call me
And if you change your mind i l be here
You e got about a week or so until forever disappears ...
I like to remember you the way you looked the day we met
But as you e walking out the door i starting to forget
I l always love you until someone else gets my attention
It over now, it over now, it over now ...
We l make the same mistakes again we e got our methods down
It over now, it over now, it over now ...
3.Shades Of Grey
Turn the radio on, they never play your favorite song
What the use of it all when all your colors fade away？
And there no-one to wonder why another rainy day
Is fading in and out of shades of grey like always
Fading in and out of shades of grey
Just one breath and you l fade away
Shadows hang on the walls, in the corners of your mind
Grandfather clock ticking on, counting all your wasted time
And there no-one to wonder why another rainy day
Is fading in and out of shades of grey like always
Fading in and out of shades of grey
Just one breath and you l fade away
No rainbows to follow
No rainbows tonight
Fall asleep on the couch, wrinkle all your clothes again
Don bother trying to reach out -- there nothing there but an
empty dream
And there no-one to wonder why another rainy day
Is fading in and out and fading in and out of shades of grey
Fading in and out of shades of grey
Fading in and out of shades of grey
Fading in and out of shades of grey like always
4.No Distractions
All i really want to do
Is tear these walls out of me and you
We e trapped inside these movie roles
Let start living with a little more soul
Throw your coat upon the grass
Flip back your head and shake your ass
I l do anything you like
Let start living with a little more life
It a great big bouncy world and its yours and mine
I wanna revel in our physical attraction
With no distractions
Run my fingers down your back
I gonna kiss your belly and bite your neck
Out here lying in the sun
It one for the money, and two for the fun
There something chemical - what have we done？
It time we got us some soul satisfaction
With no distractions
It no accident that i feel fine
It a great big bouncy world and its yours and mine
Close your eyes and we will make our connection
With no distractions
5.Beautiful Bonfire
I can smell your cigarettes in my dreams
I filling your pockets with gasoline
Maybe i l catch you in the dark
What a beautiful bonfire we could start
I got a kawasaki with one flat tire
Gonna fill it with air and ride all night
I thought you could be trusted in my home
What a beautful bonfire of my hopes
I wish i was a little meaner, a little drunker, a man with a gun
I might just let these feelings show
Wouldn you be the lucky one ...
There a train coming i can see
He isn quite as fast as me
I gonna cut across the tracks in time
Another sucker just gets by
Another sucker just gets by
There heroin tracks on the moon
I gonna kill somebody, won be you
I so cold i can even breath
What a beautiful bonfire you made of me
I wish i was a little meaner, a little drunker, a man with a gun
I might just let these feelings show
Wouldn you be the lucky one ...
I can smell your cigarettes in my dreams
I filling your pockets with gasoline
Maybe i l catch you in the dark
What a beautiful bonfire we could start
What a beautiful bonfire we could start
6.New Guitar
She paints her room in polkadots
How does she get to sleep？
And if i never see for myself
Me and my new guitar are alright
Me and my new guitar are alright
That guy on the tv news
Will never talk about me
But then everyone he shows is unhappy
And me and my new guitar are alright
Me and my new guitar are alright
Would sartre have been more happy in an existential rock and
roll band？
Just show him the knob for the fuzz-tone and turn on the amp
Me, i no philosopher, just trying to figure this thing out
How to make this girl i in love with jump and shout
Me and my new guitar are alright
Me and my new guitar are alright
And if i fly to the moon
Living in a lunar colony
I might just paint my room in polka-dots
Me and my new guitar are alright
Me and my new guitar
Me and my new guitar are alright tonight
Me and my new guitar are alright
7.Man Underwater
Shiver me timbers, blow me away in a dead man hat
Scatter my bones in a singapore alleyway
I l hang my head in a hong kong wind and hum a homesick song
A cigarette burning on the tip of my tongue
When the ship pulls into harbor
And the moth burns its wings and falls
Incense burning in the dragonfly room come sit on my knee
Mumble unknown oriental words
Shadows dance from the candles and the sandalwood taste of skin
So hot tonight the air is as heavy as gauze
When the ship pulls into harbor
And the moth burns its wings and falls
Man underwater -- i here in the belly of the beast
Man underwater -- i choking on an invisible feast
Got rolled last night by a shadow who cut my lip with a stone
Woke in the gutter with blood on my chinnie chin chin
Made it back to the ship and the groan of the hawser pulling at
the wharf
Pulled a sliver of glass from my hand
Man underwater -- i here in the belly of the beast
Man underwater -- i choking on an invisible feast
So kiss me again, you know i spent good money for this
I l slip into you like the mainland mists at dawn
I l crush your lips are as hot and sweet as the milk of my
mother love
She dead and denied but you e still young and firm
Man underwater -- i here in the belly of the beast
Man underwater -- i choking on an invisible feast
Man underwater -- i here in the belly of the beast
Man underwater -- i choking on an invisible feast
On an invisible feast ... on an invisible feast ... on an
invisible feast
8.Me And My Near Blind Hindsight
There other girls, and then there you
And then there me trapped between and wondering what to do
You push me away, but i won go
And i not sure which one of us to blame anymore
If you could sell me to the camel drivers
I be led away blindfolded in the night
Me and my near blind hindsight
There honesty and then there truth
And there a thin but unmoving line between the two
You e never lied through your teeth
Unless you count the things you hid from yourself as well as me
If you could sell me to the camel drivers
I be led away blindfolded in the night
If you could feed me to the lion trainers
You let the gods decide if i was wrong or right
There me and my regrets, and me and my excuses
There my brilliant misdirections and my adamant confusion
There me and all the things that i never could get right
And me and my nearblind hindsight
There other girls, and then there you
And then there me trapped between and wondering what to do
I should have known, but i don know yet
That the human heart can only love the things it can forget
Me and my near blind hindsight
Me and my near blind hindsight
Me and my near blind hindsight
9.Trying To Prove The Earth Is Flat
I slowly sinking down
Feel my universe tumble to the ground
When i was young i knew truth was easy to understand as true
Trying to prove that the earth is flat again
Wishing life was as clear as it should have been
Crawling into the void, all alone again
Trying to prove that the earth is flat
You don stop breathing
Just because there is no air you can see
Born into this world long before there were reasons you believe
Trying to prove that the earth is flat again
Wishing life was as clear as it should have been
Crawling into the void, all alone again
Trying to prove that the earth is flat
Trying to prove that the earth is flat
Trying to see why these simple things slip away from me
I down on my knees bowing to gravity
And i would settle for proof of anything
But who am i to see？
I so tiny
A speck of dust in an empty universe
Are you praying to find somebody to notice your small mass？
Trying to prove that the earth is flat again
Wishing life was as clear as it should have been
Crawling into the void, all alone again
Trying to prove that the earth is flat
Trying to prove that the earth is flat
Trying to prove that the earth is flat
10.The Mask Of Mona Lisa
She discovered a brand new way to feel superior
She discovered another way to get attention
She discovered how an attitude can change her life
She putting on the mask of mona lisa
I don know, maybe she spent the summer in verona
And in an attic found the missing notebooks of old leonardo
All the tricks of trickery were laid out for her virgin eyes
She discovered a brand new way to feel superior
I don know, maybe she was on an african adventure
Found herself in the death grip of young boa constrictor
And acting unimpressed was the only way to save her life
She discovered a brand new way to feel superior
She discovered another way to get attention
She discovered how an attitude can change her life
She putting on the mask of mona lisa
Putting on the mask of mona lisa
Maybe it a part of the human condition
Maybe it a sign of an unhappy heart
Maybe it a part of an unnatural tradition
But she took to the position like a water snake to water
I don know, maybe it just a phase that she l grow out of
When she has kids of her own, she can blame them for her
problems
ause all she ever wanted were the questions that have easy
answers
She discovered a brand new way to feel superior
She discovered another way to get attention
She discovered how an attitude can change her life
She putting on the mask of mona lisa
Putting on the mask of mona lisa
Putting on the mask of mona lisa
11.A Mindless Pop Song
A mindless pop song to distract you from the problems that
occupy your life.
A little story about a man who should have listened to his own
advice.
His eyes were hazel --he worked for public radio and drove a
chevy truck.
His sister rachel lived with a man who walked in circles getting
nowhere fast.
And one fine sunday, as they were grilling teriyaki it started
raining
-and rachel evans looked at her husband and her brother and
started laughing
ause on the hacienda the barbecue was slowly filling up with
water.
So they ordered pizza, and listened to a record by some band
from chapel hill.
And they sang： na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na -- mindless pop song
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na -- mindless pop song
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na -- mindless pop song
