Eels A Man Called[E]

1.Hello Cruel World

Hello cruel world so this is you
A broken heart a withered view
I'm looking out to face another day

The angry mob, the happy mass
This birthday cake may be the last
I'm looking out to find another way

Norman rockwell colors fade
All my favorite things have changed
What the hell,
Hello cruel world

I thought i heard an opera star
Who had no home under the stars
She sang and sang and sang the night away

And mother nature changed her name
She doesn't want to play the game
I don't believe she'll ever be the same

So big brother never came
Howdy-doodie gets the blame
But what the hell
Hello cruel world

Fat and beautiful and strange
Monkeys dancing in a cage
But what the hell
Hello cruel world

Venus de milo grew an arm
And old mcdonald bought the farm
Say goodbye
Hello cruel world

Norman rockwell colors fade
All my favorite things have changed
But what the hell, hello cruel world

Fat and beautiful and strange
Monkeys dancing in a cage
But what the hell
Hello cruel world

Say goodbye, hello cruel world

But what the hell
Hello cruel world
Hello hello
Ooooh ooooh
Hello cruel world


2.Fitting In With The Misfits

Dear ma you might find it hard to believe
But i think i've finally found a home
The weather's loveley there's so much to see
And people who know what i know

Now i've got friends that do want me
And take me as i am
Now i've got friends that do love me
I'm all right with them

Fitting in with the misfitts
Living in the lost and found
And i will never be afraid
For lost souls don't know where they're bound

Dear ma i know this is hard for ya too
But some things are better off said
I've always found it so hard to adjust
I'd rather stay in bed

Now i've got friends that do want me
And take me as i am
Now i've got friends that do love me
I'm all right with them

Fitting in with the misfitts
Living in the lost and found
And i will never be afraid
For lost souls don't know where they're bound
Don't know where they're bound
I don't know where i'm bound

Fitting in with the misfitts
Living in the lost and found
Fitting in with the misfitts
Living in the lost and found


3.Are You And Me Gonna Happen

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon

The gods smiled hard down upon
The love that's shared
Heaven's awaiting those who dare

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon

A sweeter feeling i can't guess will ever be
A truer union i can't see

I don't know how much more i can take
I will run through th streets
I'll howl at the moon
If you and me can not be happening soon

Are you and me gonna happen soon
Are you and me gonna happen soon


4.Looking Out The Window With A Blue Hat On

Oh she comes on like a fog
And then she goes out like a neurotic dog
So now i'm sitting her thinking all day long
Looking out the window with a blue hat on

Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me up to live again

So she bought a little book
And filled it up with names she never shook
So i'm just one of them thinking all day long
Looking out the window with a blue hat on

Find me a sky high cliff
Just let me try
To jump right off maybe i'll fly

Looking out the window with the blue hat on

Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me up to live again

Oh she comes on like a fog


5.Nowheresville

I wanna see paris
Insane on the sine
I wanna do that bull run thin in spain
I wanna go to england
And walk down penny lane
Half a pint an island
May wash away my pain

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone
On the road
To nowheresville

I wanna meet a little girl
With french horn lips
And introduce her to my trip
I'll make her smile on the nile
Hold her hand in japan
But last things first for all my plans

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone
On the road
To nowheresville

I'm on my way
I'm almost nowhere
I'm almost everything i swore i'd never be
When i get there
Then i'll go somehwere
I'm going to pay my last repsects and get the
Hell out of there
Out of nowhere

I'm stuck in mud
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone
On the road
To nowheresville
Spinning my wheels
And i'm all alone on the road to nowheresville
Nowheresville
Nowheresville


6.Symphony For A Toy Piano In G Minor


7.Mockingbird Franklin

She's never known acceptance
She's never known the world
She says i like to call myself m
But my real name is mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin
So how do you do
Mockingbird franklin
I'm a lot like you

She says her mother is gone now
She says her mother got killed
I said i'm sorry but is it true
Did she really name you mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin
Broke your heart in two
Mockingbird franklin
I'm a lot like you

Mockingbird don't you change
Just because you're not like them
Oh mockingbird you're not the same

Alone along the sidewalk
Her steps are barely heard
It's kinda funny that it's her name
'cus she's nothing like a mockingbird
Nothing like a mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin
Don't it get to you
Mockingbird franklin
I'm a lot like you
I'm a lot like you
It's true


8.I've Been Kicked Around

Well i've been kicked around
What do you see
Am i alright？
I'm alright

I once had a heart
I was ripped from it
Chewed up then spat out
Like a cherry pit

And if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around
Uh huh

Well i've been kicked around
What do you see
Am i alright？
Am i alright？

Well i've been kicked around
What do you see
Am i alright？
Am i alright？

I once had a soul
It was torn from me
I won't cry a tear
I will carry me

And if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around

Don't worry, i'm all right

So if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around
The way that i've been kicked around
The way that i've been kicked around
The way that i've been kicked around
The way that i've been kicked around
The way that i've been kicked around
The way that i've been kicked around


9.Pray

Never much of a hope for men
Nothing good to say
But i couldn't help it
When i saw her
I had to know if

She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i can pray
I pray

And soon i know her a little more
She's everything i dreamed
But still i wonder what it would be like
If she left me

She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
But she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i still pray
I pray

There must be something that's folowing her
That keeps her from this state
There must be something that makes me want to
Pray
Pray
I pray

She says she's all right but she's not sure
And i'm not sure what that means
She says she's all right but she needs some help
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how


10.E's Tune

I have two eye gut i cannot see
I have a heart but i can not feel anything
Don't give up now i'm almost there

I got a mouth but is doesn't say
The things i want it to say today anyway
Don't give up now i'm almost there

Life's just an ugly mess
The angry soul's in such distress
Still there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like someone is smiling down on me

Sometimes it feel like i'm all alone
Most of the time actually i am alone
That's alright
Don't give up now i'm almost there

Oh if i had a million bucks it wouldn't matter
'cause my soul's always climbing a ladder
Oh i know
Don't give up now i'm almost there

Life's just an ugly mess
The angry soul's in such distress
Still there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like some one is smiling down on me

Alright


11.You'll Be The Scarecrow

One day i'll have to fly
To the next great unknown
One day i'll be outta here
Back on my own
And when i come around for my goodbye

You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
The one i'll cary with me
Forever more

You were the special one
Something we shared
The one that i'll miss the most
The one that cared

So when i come around for my goodbyes

You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
The one i'll cary with me
Forever more

There may not be a day
For a dou reunion
There may not be a day
For us

One day you'll look and see
A purple sunset
And then you'll know that i'm ok
I'm doing my best

And when i come around for my goodbye
You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
You'll be the scarecrow
The one i miss most
And when i come around for my goodbye
You'll be the scarecrow
