Eels Souljacker Lyrics
1.Dog Faced Boy

eels - dog faced boy

Coming home from the school today
Crying all along the way
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Begging ma to shave me please

You little punks think you own this town
Well someday someone's gonna bring you down
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy

You, take back what you said now
That's the last time i cry
You tell me what it is to be a friend, now
'till i walk beside you on the street now

Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me
Dog faced boy

Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy

Going back to the school tomorrow
Hang my hairy head in sorrow
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Aint' no way to set me free, now

Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me
Dog faced boy

Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me
Dog faced boy


2.That's Not Really Funny

Did you think that i would laugh when you said i was small
Did you think that that would pass as if nothing at all

You say a lot of funny things, my little bunny
And i almost always laugh, but that's not really funny

You play the little bells and tell a good story
You bake delicious pie and that's enough for me

But i don't think that i'm your man, and you're my little honey
And i like what you have to say, but that's not really funny

You must not continue to wear my ?? like me
The neighbour children threw the window to the sea

The little boy will wipe his nose bacause it's runny
Then point at me and laugh, but that's not really funny


3.Fresh Feeling

You don't have a clue,
What it is like
To be next to you.

I'm here to tell you,
That it is good,
That it is true.

Chorus:
Birds singing a song,
Old pain is peeling,
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling.
Words can't be that strong,
My heart is real,
This is that fresh,
That fresh feeling.

Try, try to forget,
What's in the past,
Tomorrow is here.

Love on the sky above,
Lie in your way,
There's nothing to fear.

Chorus

Some people are good,
??? the hood,
So pure and so free.

I make a safe bed,
You're gonna get,
Whatever you need.

Chorus

That fresh feeling.
This is that fresh feeling.


4.Woman Driving, Man Sleeping

Woman driving, man sleeping.
Wear the suitcase on the rack.
White lines shooting by,
On the pavement like the sky.
Looking straight ahead, into the black.

Woman driving, man sleeping.
There's no radio to play.
Sitting with the map,
Laying crumpled on her lap.
Looking for the toll money to pay.

(chorus)
Man sleeping is man dreaming,
In a large apartment house.
Walking and knocking on doors.

Woman driving, man sleeping.
Passin' all the other cars.
Searching in the black,
But never turning to look back.
A little metal box under the stars.

(chorus)

Woman driving, man sleeping. (x2)


5.Souljacker(Part 1)

Any parts in italics are not know for sure.

22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck
Oh yeah

Johnny don't like the teacher
Johnny don't like the school
One day johnny is goinna to do somethin'
Show 'em he's nobody's fool
Oh yeah

Chorus
Sisters brothers make better lovers
Family affairs are under the covers...
Gina clocks the broken hearts
Won't let you leave until you're bleeding

Sally don't like her daddy
Sally don't like her friends
Sally and johnny are watchin' tv
Waitin' for it to end
Oh yeah

Chorus

22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck
Oh yeah


6.Friendly Ghost

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been spending all my days
Giving all i can give.

Last night i heard someone walking
Through my bedroom door.
What they want i'm not exactly sure.

Chorus:
A friendly ghost,
Is all i need. (x2)

Working time on a broken watch,
Countin' days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone
And everyone's gonna leave me alone.

Two times i thought i heard someone
Knocking on the glass.
I hit my head and prayed that it would last.

Chorus

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been carrying round a grudge,
I think i better forgive

Last night i heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor.
Got up and i opened up the door.

Chorus

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been spending all my days
Giving all i can give.


7.Teenage Witch


8.Bus Stop Boxer

I don't miss where i came from
But each night i dream about being back home
When i wake up in the morning
I'm too tired, tired of being alone

So i get up and go downtown
And pick me out a little piece of ground
Where i can prove something to the world
I can prove something to the world

Don't look at me
I'm the bus stop boxer x2

Daddy put us in the truck and
Dropped us off and said good luck, then
One lucky kid waiting for the bus
Made a winner out of one of us

Don't look at me
I'm the bus stop boxer x2

Going down by the railroad tracks, where
People know that they better not relax
I'm the man, baby, i am the man
This is where i can make you understand

I'm the bus stop boxer
Don't look at me x2


9.Jungle Telegraph

Mama had a epidural
Hoping i would be a girl.
The night was black, the sky was blue
The darker clouds are showing noon
I heard screaming, the doctor shouts,
Didn't give in,
I came out.

And here i am.

I found my way, down the street.
Chicken hawks, filled with meat.
The man was big, the gun was loaded,
She had cash, but never showed it,
I heard screamin', bleeding throat
And baby i got on that boat.

And here i am.

Now im up here in the trees
Shaking off the bugs and fleas
The days are long, the sun is beatin'
He says (it says) i don't die with you

Send me some lovin'
Send me some lovin'
Send it now

Send it by giraffe, on jungle telegraph


10.World Of Shit

In this world of shit
Baby you are it
A little light that shines all over
Must take over and see us through the night

Daddy was a troubled genius
Mama was a real good egg
Why don't we just get together
For whatever and see if it's alright

I spent so many days
Just staring at the haze
And i think that that's a book
That i don't have to write again
Now when i rise i shine
I got you on my mind
And the question isn't if
The question is merely when...

Baby i confess
I am quite a mess
So let's get married and make some people
More than equal in this world of shit

I will make a pledge
To get down off the ledge
You and i belong together
And forever we will have our love


11.Souljacker(Part 2)

Souljacker can't get my soul
Ate my carcass in a black manhole
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can shoot me up full of bullet holes
But the souljacker can't get my soul

Souljacker can't get my soul
Left my carcass with the worms and moles
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can hang my beck from the old flagpole
But the souljacker can't get my soul
