1.1000 Miles Away

It's morning time, wonder where you are -
wonder who you're talking to
wonder if the sun has risen where you are
it's morning time, I miss your hands on my skin
this bed's too big without you
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and I'm lying next to you.

The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
a little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
maybe my heart's too weak
there's just this feeling, thought I had to get going
got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
but now I don't know how to get home.
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

Mama says take my vitamins,
daddy says 'girl, don't stay out so late'
sister says 'there's other fishes in the sea'

but love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
no, love is not a rational thing
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

these fields stretch out like patchwork, on my granny's quilt
she used to tell me that
'life is a series of strange and mysterious things
one minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down'
your mind says 'girl, you gotta stick around'
but your heart says 'I'm too weak in the knees'
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

these fields stretch out like patchwork, on my granny's quilt
she used to tell me that
'life is a series of strange and mysterious things
one minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down'
your mind says 'girl, you gotta stick around'
but your heart says 'I'm too weak in the knees'
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.


2.501 Beauty Queen

She's got nice lips, a seductive smile
She's still as thin as a beanpole,
with a little less class, but a little more style
And she spends all her time trying not to hear you
What she doesn't want to know
Don't wanna know

And there's Kellogg's in the cupboard
She takes a heart down from off the shelf
She passes by the mirror
She doesn't like to look at herself
Cause she'd rather lose touch with reality
than lose her fantasy
Her fantasy

And her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
she's comin' undone at the seams

And it's her last chance to make a statement
It's her last (note/No I've recieved?)

She's a 501 beauty queen

And there's flowers on the table
she's lovely, she's lovely not
But circles only make the hunger grow
so she goes out a lot
she's out there just a runnin around
Trying to make up some lost time
Lost time

And she sits down for a social call
Like a princess she puffs on a cigarette
beauty is all threadbare now
But she's never gonna let them forget
Casue my how she looked smashing in her gold lame tank top
With the fancy beadwork on front
The beadwork's on front

But her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
comin' undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement
It's her last (note/No I've recieved/I percieve?)

She's a 501 beauty queen

And a voice chimes like a bell in the night
that just don't know when to quit
She used to have more options
Now she wishes that she'd already picked
wishes she couldn't remember
all those things she'll never forget
Never forget.

And the lines they all go deeper than the days of her youth
She flirts and lies and always denies what to her is no longer
of any
use

But it's not because she hates what she doesn't understand
She just don't understand

And her fire? is as faded as a used pair of jeans
her heart is frayed around the edges
She's comin' undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement
It's her last (note/No? I've receive?/at the seat?)
She's a 501 beauty queen


3.A Housewife's Revenge

Seems like that man took my heart
Laid it neatly out before him on the floor
Then he put on the biggest
Heaviest winter boots he had
And stomped on it for three hours,
Maybe four
And I hope his Sorrells are ruined forever
Cause you know he knows how to push my every button

Get down to my last nerve

Like the other day he forgot to put his beer can
In the recycling bin
And he meant to do it on purpose I'm sure
So I might just have to tell him
Why his dog, Ralph, that ran away three years ago
Won't be coming home again
Cause you know he walks around the house
In his underwear
Whenever my girlfriends come around
And perhaps if he were good looking
I might feel a bit jealous, overzealous
But all I feel is embarrassed
Looking at him standing there
And I hope he never finds his left slipper
And my psychiatrist says I should tell him how I feel
He says, 'Oh great, I gotta listen to her snivel again'
So I have these little unfulfilled fantasies
Of putting arsenic in his teacup
We'd see who'd be laughing then
If only he was the type to drink tea
Now I hear him come up the driveway
In his El Camino
With its black with a red-flame firebird on front
He keeps the keys to himself
He won't take me out to the movies
Cause of football
So I'll just hold out on something else
I'll never cook him another single Hungry Man TV dinner again
I say, 'Listen man, you better treat me with some r-e-s-p-e-c-t
Cause I gotta a whole lotta what you need
Then a whole lot besides, and then still a whole lot more'

He said, 'Yeah, if you were talking about your weight
That might be true - but otherwise all you give me is
Headache and heartburn'
So I took his Hungry Man TV dinner and his Sorrels
So I took his left slipper and his Hungry Man TV dinner
And I spit on his Sorrels as I walked out the door.

And I spit on him as I walked out the door
By the way, your dog Ralph won't be coming home again


4.Angel Needs A Ride

Said, 'Angel, Do you want a ride?'
Said, 'Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need somebody by my side'
It's a long road that stretched from Vegas to nowhere
But it'd been an even longer time
Since he found some piece of mind
And he lived off of bubblegum and cigarettes
And got his nourishment from all-night stores
Thought he'd just keep driving
Til he outdrove his sorrow
He said, 'Angel, Oh do you want a ride?'
Said 'Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need somebody by my side'
Her feet were warm and tired
But as determined as a soul
She left with no regrets
But also no posessions did she own
Her heart was as fragile as her thin, loving arms
She's praying to god to take away her lonely
When he pulled on aside of the road
And he said, 'Angel, Oh do you want a ride?'
Said, 'Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need somebody by my side'
The highway goes on forever
I've seen a thousand men like him before
And I've seen a thousand angels that
Got into the car
They're just a couple of lost souls
Looking to rekindle some sort of forgotten dream
I hope they find what they're looking for
In the solace of the road
They said, 'Angel, Do you want a ride?'
Said, 'Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
I'm tired and I'm lonely
I'm tired and I'm lonely
I'm tired and I'm lonely
And I need to have somebody
By my angel


5.Been Down So Long

The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousasnd mile from anywhere
And my pocketbook in my heart
Both just got stolen
And the sun act like she don't even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
Got a plastic jesus and a ...???... corner of my room
Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do

CHORUS:
Well I've been down so long
It can't be that much longer still
And I've been down for so long
That the end must be drawing near

I looked to everybody but me
To answer my prayers
Until I found an angel in the bathroom
Who said she didn't see anybody who was savin anywhere
And the blind man said, 'Simple... like flipping a coin -
Don't matter what side it lands on
So long as it's somebody else's dime'
Cause if you're the top of the bottom
It all feels the same
We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor
Guess all I can do is muster up some change
And little bit of faith
And take some dignity when I walk through this door

*** (Chorus)

Gonna take a trip
Catch a train
Got a ticket in my hand
And then a fat man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand
I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea
In a thousand people I do not know
But really they are no different from me
They all have passion
They all have fear
They all have intense confusion
And no sweet moments that are clear
They all have aspirations
High hopes and dreams
And are really that alone like me

***
We've been down so long
It can't be that nmuch longer still
We've been down so long
That the end must be...
The end must be...
The end must be drawing near


6.Big Girl

They say you're feeling charitable
And that she's just a helpless little girl
You say she needs counseling
But I find it hard to believe
Cause baby looks like
A very big girl to me

You say she's harmless
I don't know about that
She's just a kitty but to me
Looks like a very capable cat
What'cha say about that?
You say she's unattractive,
She doesn't turn you on
But that expression on your face
Ain't exactly a yawn
You say she needs advising
But I find it hard to believe
Cause baby looks like
A very big girl to me

Yeah that cupcake
Don't exactly look like no hostess to me
Cause baby looks like
A very big girl to me


7.Breaking Up

Do not think it hurts me bad
It doesn't hurt me none
It does not mean anything
I'm fondling this gun
And I don't hurt that bad
And I don't miss you
I don't eat alone
Wishing I was eating with two
It's like a sad movie
They always get high ratings

In fact I feel like celebrating
I feel like celebrating
And do not think I ever thought that
This would really work
It was just sort of a casual thing
Like trying on a shirt
I don't sit home slone and stare
At your picture wishing that
You were still there
I never get lonely
In fact I'm probably masturbating

In fact I feel like celebrating
I feel like celebrating

Oh goody! Oh joy!
I'm finally free
I no longer have to sit through
Your mother's casserole recipes
Oh joy! Glee!
I'm finally free


8.Carnivore

So much space can fit inside
More than words can say
I'm left here with my hands all awkward
Trying ???

I used to know you
But not anymore
Your substance has been subtracted
Word by word

Silence in my ears
Where once you offered your conviction
Your promises are ???
That crack with nostalgia

But, that's all right
That's okay
Had no business
Giving myself to you anyway

Be careful next time for sure
And I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a Carnivore
Carnivore

Your soul is an ink stain
???

You're as fragile as your thoughtlessness
As strong as you can bend

You could only believe in ???
Had all your high hopes through a telescope
And lavender haunted you
So I go on in life in yellow

You have a fire down in genius, subtlety
And you slip through the fingers of ambiguity

Well, that's all right
That's okay
Had no business
Giving myself to you anyway

Be careful next time for sure
And I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a Carnivore

I did it before
But I don't think I'll do again
This time
I take back my soul
And my poetry
This time I won't be so easy to read

I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a Carnivore


9.Circle Song(With You I Will Always Be)

If you see me speak without words
Know that I am speaking of the wind
And if you see my words like wind
know that soft tongues cut through stone
And if you see my words like stone
Know its wisdom lies in silence
and if you see my wisdom in silence
Then with you I will always be

And if you doubt my true love is true
Just see how you have no chains upon your hands
And if you see you wear no chains
You are free like poor men
And if you see your freedom in being poor
(How or You are?) pleased you'll be with the treasure of your
mind
And if you're pleased with the treasure of your mind
Then with you I will always be

And if you wonder how it is that I ___?(am?)
Just watch the sun set slip away (space between sun and set
intentional)

and as you watch that sun slip away
know some things are better left unseen
And if you know things are better left unseen
then night shall carry you in her arms
and if you see I carry you in my arms
Then with you i will always be
With you I will always be


10.Daddy She's A Goddess

Refrain:
Daddy she's a goddess
Can we keep her tonight?
Daddy she's a goddess
Watch her move
Her hair so clean when she skin's so smooth
Her nose don't drip like me
Daddy can we keep her please please please
Oh yeah yeah

Saw her walkin' late at night by the liquor store
Set down my Lucky Lager and followed her out the door

Pretty young thing should know better than to walk home alone
So I saw my duty, hadda take her home

(refrain)

Sister likes to feel her up
Late at night
Use her body for a dartboard
And pin her up right

Oh bullseye there it is again
It's always so fun, cause with you I always win

(refrain)

Read the paper
(?)check the brass
You're never gonna find that
(?)body grass
She likes it here
She told me so
She cries Oh baby
(?)takes all the bowls of coal

(refrain)

Ain't never gonna find us mountain men
(? Cause her or In case of) sister got boring, we won't be bored
again
She's so fine, she's a hillbillies dream
Up here in the mountains, you can't hear her scream

(refrain)

Daddy she's a goddess..yodel-ay-hee hee
Daddy she's a goddess..yodel-ay-hee hee
(various improv on this until..)
Daddy she's a goddess
doo doo doo doo doo doo daddy
Daddy she's a goddess
doo doo doo doo doo doo daddy
Daddy she's a goddess
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Daddy


11.Dance Between Two Women

Thank you for the flowers you brought me today
And thank you for the kindness you showed me today
No love can be stronger than between two strong women

No man can ever know the dance between two women
We can dance... My lady... May I have this dance?
Thank you for the wisdom the knowing from inside
And thank you for the comfort only a woman can provide
No man can ever know the dance between two women
Love can't be stronger than between two strong women
We can dance... My lady... May I have this dance?
Thank you for the strength without a need for power

And thank you for the rhythym, the sacred circle
Love can't be stronger than between two strong women
No man can ever know the dance between two women
Like you and I
We can dance... My lady... May I have this dance?


12.Everything Breaks Sometime

Under the shadows, forbidden and hot
Desire grows, more often than not

I'm sorry's a stupid thing to say
Especially considering it's not like I planned it this way

But I'm sorry is all that there is left of me
I'm so sorry this love made me hollow and left you empty

Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime

It's hard to believe its boiled down to this
It seems so surreal this won't be healed by a kiss
It's hard to stare at you knowing you like I have
I used to feel so close, now I feel so bad

My heart's filled with thunderstorms and I'm ready to burst
And I've lost my favorite harbor and I'll weather for the worst

Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
I'm so sorry,
Everything breaks sometime


13.Food Stamp Love

MMMMMMMMMMMM, yeah yeah yeah woh woih woh yeah

I'm outside your window
talking through glass
you throw out some love crumbs
but I've got an appetite bigger than that

I'm hungry for something...yeah yeah yeah
that I can't afford
you dole out your love like foodstamps
Well I want something more

Sick of your foodstamp love
Sick of your foodstamp love
Sick of your foodstamp love

You hand me some paper...yeah yeah yeah
show me where to sign
If I'm lucky I will get your number
Oh goody I think this is a real good time

After you ask me some questions
Do I qualify?
Well I don't want your handouts anyway
'cause boring stuff is all I can buy

Sick of your foodstamp love
Sick of your foodstamp love
Sick of your foodstamp love


I run to my mailbox
hoping that it's there
some sort of message telling
me that you really care

but all there is is junk mail
there's a sale down at the mall
there's some coupons for *canned love baby (?)
but there's nothing from you at all

sick of your foodstamp love (x6, with guitar work behind)


14.Fragile Heart

You better take your watch off
When around large machinery
You better hide your wallet
If you plan to sleep with theives
Don't forget your bullet-proof vest
The next time you pick a fight with a guard
And if you work with unstable objects
Wear a hat that's hard

CHORUS:
It's simple tips like these
That keep you safe from injuries
The surgeon general should do his part:
Warning, beware, be careful - Fragile Heart

Take out your contact lenses
If you drive through a dust storm
Look both ways before crossing
The freeway of any legal form
Take off your antique jewelry
The next time you jump into a chlorinated pool
And don't forget, build a fence around your heart
The next time you give it to a fool

CHORUS

Take your socks off the heater, man
You know they're gonna get burned
Don't lend out your favourite pair of pliers
Unless you're sure they'll get returned
You would not give a shiny medal
To someone who don't work for it
So do not give of yourself
To one who won't adore it

CHORUS


15.Grey Matter

I hate you, I love you
Leave, don't go away
Can't decided if I like your face
Or if I wish it would stray
Your a child but you're malicious
You're sweet, but don't remember my name
And heads you win and tales I'm lost
And love equals pain

CHORUS:
I am drifting without an anchor
Through your ambigious region
A strange continent imune to all reason
And I'm flattered by your grey matter

Inside my skin I feel your toungue
Telling me I'm dirty and licking my bones
A scrape against silence, a knife across a plate
Makes the sound of neon hate

CHORUS

And I do not understand why a woman
Can't just love a man

You're amusing, you're a real cool show
With your meat hooks and barbed wire carnival
You're got glitter in your pocket
You've got mothholes in your soul
From too many false teeth and greasy flashbulbs

CHORUS

I love you, I hate you


16.Have A Little Faith In Me

When the road gets dark and you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark, baby
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me (4x)

When your secret heart cannot speak so easily
Come here darlin', and from a whisper start
Have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me (4x)

I've been loving you
For such a long, long time, baby
Expect nothing in return,
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You know time, time is our friend
For you and me, yeah, there is no end
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me

Say, I'll hold you up, I'll hold you up
Strength is enough, so have a little faith in me
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me
I said all you gotta do is have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me


17.Here When Gone

I am a woman haunted by hands
Even though I'm alone
Traces of Pompey
Across my skin
And an invisible map
Of where you've been
It's dry road to Idaho
A thirsty tongue across the land
And soil so dry
You could swallow and entire man
Took the first road out of town
Hoping that you were just skin deep
Well I feel you like
Some sort of phantom limb
Beside me when I sleep
Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
I watch another grey day unfold
It's dusty wings
Sometimes I wish I were more like
Rocks and stones and things
Sometimes I wish my heart
Were not like flowers at all
That way I wouldn't get butterflies
When you called

And the night swallows itself
You can see it in the stars
The moon blinks it's tired eyes
I may be a thousand miles to nowhere
Does that make me lost or found?
Oh - is it that relative to if you're around?

And some birds abandon their young
Cause the instinct is too strong to fly
Well I feel like abandoning
My guitar and my books and I'm afraid
I don't know why
Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone


18.His Pleasure Is My Pain

A man stands in the doorway like a small child
angry fists
she lies on her bed her head buried in her pillow
and she stares at the moon
he speaks to her all the words shes heard too many times before
and pretty soon she just let's his voice fade away

and she thinks...

This was a gradual steel frost
that started with cold feet
and ended with numb hearts
This was once satisfying sex but now no longer is

It was once filled with the possibilities of new china or old
stone
but now it's exagerated and waterlogged no longer what these
hands had
intended and still I cry in my sleep

He always said I was too sensitive,

but I say

(chorus)

at least I never meant to make him cry.
At least I never meant to make him hurt that way
Nooo I never meant to make him cry
Never meant to make him hurt that way

Yes it's true, I'm too senstive
but he takes pleasure in my pain.
Yes it's true, I'm too senstive
but he takes pleasure in my pain.

And the unheard hours they fly by
she goes to the window
she puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair
he's already asleep
by the time she

goes and lays herself back down.
she thinks

my god, what am I doing here?

My bones have grown tired of his hunger, of his gray eyes,
and I feel if I were to stay one more night here I'd die or
explode
or worse yet just fade away.
There have been days so dark that I felt like august
and that I soon too would turn to fall.
he always said I was too sensitive that if I cared so much
the world could kill me that way.
I wonder if he's only half alive or if he's simply always been
this
inarticulate,
cause I say

(repeat chorus)

And she get's out of bed and looks at her feet as though they
were the wings for her freedom
she gets up and goes to the door
it's a moment in which anything can happen
instead she gets out some clothing
puts it in a bag and leaves him sleeping

while she heads for the door.


19.Hotel Angel

Sweet man, sweet mystery
Unveil yourself to me
Sweet soul, lie so still
Flesh cup, gonna get my fill
Let me rise and fall
With the wings of your sheets
While the moon's full over Austin
The city sleeps below
Only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Your body be a tender vine
That twists and turns just like mine
Your heart a slender thong
Built of honey, filled with song
'Til dawn steals you from me
And takes me to the next town
But tonight the moon's full over Austin
And beggars starve below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
There's one thing that keeps me going
It's the slow and easy knowing
You're the kind of man
Who's kind of girl could maybe give her hand
So sweet man in your sweet misery
Lie upon my temporary sea
Love's dressing, I will adorn
To my side your absence be thorn
And I'll rock you gently to sleep
Tonight is one promise we both can keep
While the moon's full over Austin
And the city sleeps below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Hotel Angel
Through the window


20.I Don't Care

Good-bye baby, I don't think I'll be seeing you again
Good-bye baby, we'll say that we're still friends
Even though I know I love nobody else
And even though I know, I say to myself
That this time I'm leaving and I now that we're through and I
don't
love you
And that I just don't care

I'm just so tired of being another statistic on TV
The classic case of I love him, but he just don't love me

So this time I'm going to be the one to say it's the end
This time I'm gonna be my own best friend
And I'm going to save some love, some love for myself
I'll kiss you all serious
It might help that I just don't care
I don't care

So many times, I tried to tell myself
That this love would work, if I just gave up some more love for
myself
I believed if I just quite my crying, you'd start your trying,
leave
your lying
But I believe if I just walked away, I could say
I don't care
don't care

You were always the cool one, you stood by the backdoor
You said 'you know, leaving sorta makes you look good'
But this time I swear it's the best you'll ever see of me

So this time I'm going to be the one to say it's the end
This time I'm gonna be my own best friend
And I'm going to save some love, some love for myself
I'll kiss you all serious
It might help that I just don't care
I don't care

So many times, I tried to tell myself
That this love would work, if I just gave up some more love for
myself
I believed if I just quite my crying, you'd start your trying,
leave
your lying
But I believe if I just walked away, I could say
I don't care
don't care


So good-bye baby, I don't think I'll be seeing you again


21.I Hate Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day
Wish I had a sweetheart
It's Valentine's Day
Didn't even get a stinkin' card
It's Valentine's Day
I just have to say
I hate Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day
And I didn't get no chocolate
It's Valentine's Day
If I had a heart I'd hock it
It's Valentine's Day
All I have to say
I hate Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day
And I hope it finds you healthy
It's Valentine's Day
I'm glad your stinkin' girlfriend's wealthy (?)
It's Valentine's Day
I just love to say
I hate fuckin' Valentine's Day


22.I've Got The Blues More Than You Do Blues

Grew up in the Mississippi delta
In a shotgun shack
Washboard for my pillow
'Til the tax man took that back
Moved out on my own
I was just twelve years old ... top that

You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues

When I was an itty-bitty baby
I was my mama's only surviving son
She used my head as a washrag
I thought it was fun
Walked uphill to school both ways
With no legs ... top that

You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues

Got so drunk I couldn't find my way home
Had to have a blind man show me
When I finally did get there,
My own dog had disowned me
A woman in a bar just looks at me and coughed and said
'I don't even know you, but I wish you'd die off' ... top that

You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues


23.In A Woman's Life

Somewhere between right and wrong is a love song
Its tongue hits the target but its phone number is always wrong
It speaks through calluses of gentler things
It speaks of kindness
But I don't think you know what that word means
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me

Somewhere between right and wrong is reality
Justice and shame speak foolishly of impractical things
Your kisses are as kind as candles
Your hands are as giving as stone
Your mind is kind as Hitler's until night leaves you feeling
alone
Your love is something I must do but never be
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me

I didn't mean to fall into darkness
It's just that I trip in the lights
Cause aw man it's hard to see that clearly and not put up a
fight
But I knew I wpould break and not bend
Just look at this trouble I'm in
I need to realize
This is how the unhappy half dies

Somewhere between good and bad is every lie I have ever been
told
They all come down but good deeds don't count it's what cards
you hold
But I'm tired of your grey laughter
I am tired of your hungry eyes
This love is so rotten
It's startin' to attract flies
Your love is something that must do but never be
Its blade is made of jealousy and insecurity
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me.


24.Jessica

He used to walk with Jessica
Down to the diner
They'd sit and talk for hours
About nothin' in particular
Just bullshit the time away
That's what she used to say
She'd wrinkle her nose when she said it
That's how you know she meant it

Jessica

Jessica

She'd call him at nine a.m.
To see how sleep had been treatin' him
And though they were never lovers
They were soulmates under cover

They'd drink beer and sit around
Or just sit still and not make a sound
And he would shudder to think
Of what life would be like
Without his best friend -slash- shrink

Jessica

Bridge:
She's an angel at his table
A force to feel but not to see
Blinded by her absence
Haunted by her memory
If only you were able to see the angel at your table

He got a phone call
From her mother
He said, 'Yeah, right stop kidding around.'
He felt his heart fall to the ground
Since then everyday
Seems to feel like winter
Everything is colorless
As he can't see it with her

Jessica

Jessica

He could easily have been with her
Driving home in the car
It was her birthday
It's sick how things work out that way
Now at night when he sleeps
A watch over him she keeps
She whispers in his ear
For his heart to hear

Jessica

Jessica

It's amazing how a soul can leave
Suddenly from a body
Rendering it useless
And stealing its desire to breathe
One moment here then gone
With no forwarding address
Love no longer has a house
Residence in flesh
Religion without a temple
No place to take your worship to
No God for the eyes to see
No fruit to lay at the feet
of Jessica

Jessica

If only you were able to see
The angel at your table
Then you'd understand why
You never got to say goodbye
To Jessica
There's no such word as goodbye

For Jessica

She's always standing by

Jessica


25.Last Dance Rodeo

Your lungs fill with concrete
His voice is all you can hear
Your lips and a screwdriver
wrapped around some mink-clad smear

And you know that she's a diamond
In this damn juke-box hell
Cause fools go with only fools
Fools in two-bit hotels

But she's cooler than all that
She's a real high-class cat
She's queen of the last dance rodeo
Chorus:
But under the gaslamp
The air is thick and velveteen
Your bones fill with hunger
Your heart fills with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole
You want to bury your face forever
In the naval of her soul 'cause you know
All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all

Lightbulbs and nylons,
and plastic chandeliers
Objects are only objects
They can't feel when you're near

And tangerine lips
And lilly-white breasts
These things are eternal
Inside them, humanity rests

Her skin is like a seashell
You listen to her soul
Like an old-time radio show

Chorus

But don't wander too far
My one constant star
Darkness exists,
Except where you are
My feet are filled with wandering
They follow your own
Cause everywhere you are feels like home

So search, all you miners
You hunters of dreams
Look in the alleyways
For what you know
Is not what it seems

And feign, all you maidens
But don't resist too long
Least you look behind you
And see your own shadow is gone

Don't you know it's a last rodeo
You better find yourself a cowboy
Or someone to keep you warm when it's cold

Chorus


26.Life's A Great Big Mystery Show

Went downtown just to be a martyr
but a telephone pole beat me to it
it was covered in barbed wire
Saw a little boy's white teeth
like wild horses encaged by an iron string

Oh god...does not feel good unless he bleeds

And daily crucifictions are hung up on street signs
they use all sorts of names
hope they never use mine
these consonants and vowels
that cannot scream nor howl
only just hang around

Oh god...how'd things get so turned around

and in the office building
9 to 5 goes on trial
the man is startin to crack
but the ceiling stones smile
and the boss comes in
to see what fragile things
his dull and pointless tongue can tear

Oh god...he combed over a baldspot with a bit of hair

Cause everybody needs
somebody else to blame
they can't curse themselves
they take their doctor's name in vain
they'd rather jump through hoops
and theraputic groups
than in their own minds delve

oh god...why don't we believe in ourselves

Sometimes
I think
Life is just a movie
and these
strangers
are folks we really know
sit back
relax
enjoy some popcorn
Life's a great big mystery show

Saw tiny faces that are tattered and torn
but there's paint upon the mansion that is hardly worn
I'd like to go inside
but why I don't know
as though I could peel the paint
and feed it to the poor

oh god...can't live like this anymore

my landlord..no...
my neighbor is as tolerant as a feeding shark
but they tell me that her bite is much better than her bark
she goes ramblin on
from dusk until dawn
sayin' I should try bein' like her sometime

oh god...think somethin's died inside her mind

cause
sometimes...

Life's a great big mystery show


27.Love Me Just Leave Me Alone

I saw you standing there
Barbed wire in your pocket
You were combing barbed wire through your hair
You thought I didn't notice
The skin on your teeth had a tear
To make me notice
You started to shout
Then you and all your midgets
Started flapping your tiny arms all about
They said you were the wise man
When did they teach wise men to shout?
I tried to forget you
But you tied bells to your name
They jingled every time I thought of you
Without shame

I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?

What's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone.

Your mother was a wolf bite
your daddy was a cigarette
Your brother was a rose bud
Cross breath like a car wreck
Your sister was a stockbroker
But you- you ain't nothing but a turtleneck
You were standing there hypnotized
In the middle of the street
You had iron butterflies as kisses
You had gold dust in your teeth
You used one eye as a hostage
The other eye to stab your own meat
But your mind is a circle
But it clings to straight lines
You arms are like corset strings
They only know how to find
Linens are adorable
Why don't you try it sometime

What's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone

It's not your little boy's mind
It's not your little boy's mind
It's those big boy hands when I'm no longer there

Well, I'm trying to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?

What's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone

What's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone


28.Memoirs Of A Housewife

I have a secret obsession
It's totally tupperware
My own science project
Defying wear and tear
I'm jealous of shopping carts
And all of their new things
I want to fondle their labels
In hopes one'll rub off on me

'Cause everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do

I spend my days indoors
Doing like ding-dongs do
Perfectly preserving
Myself for you

I take things out of their boxes
Take out my note pad and pen
Study carefully

'Cause everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do

So tell me you want me
Tell me you need me
Tell me I'll always be desirable
Especially to you

Make me feel brand new

Attractive!

Brand spanking clean
And desirable as homecoming queen

But if I were to bet
All of the frenchfries in the world
That you would say such things
I would surely be one very hungry girl

I approach china cautiously
If there's cracks I deny it
I ingest only perfect things
Into my visual diet

And at night I undress myself
In front of your favorite things
Your brand new hand-tied blue bass fishing lure
And in the corner your money clip sings

Everybody wants to feel brand new
Everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do
As they do
I do too


29.My Fish Family

There's a man on the front porch
Say's he's related to me
But lately I'm finding
It hard to believe
And this is filled
With spooks and ghosts
They say they're family
But they are strangers at most

CHORUS:
They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around in their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me
They give it their fish best
But it's hard with all those scales
Of good and bad, you see (2nd time: Of morality)
They're my fish family
My fish family

And they try and hook me
Or put me in a tank
They may try and book me
For robbing a fish bank
Cause misunderstanding comes easily
When they're blowing bubbles
And I can hardly breathe

BRIDGE
And when will they understand
I just wanna marry a man
Without seaweed in his teeth
Without barnacle for hair
Without seaweed in his ears
But their fish ears won't hear me
They're my fish family

CHORUS


30.Need A Piece Of Your Love Machine

It's been seven hours and sixteen days
Since pollination has come my way
I sit around like dirty cups 'n the spoons
Stacking up around your room
Are you gonna come and pick me up
Stick your finger in my buttercup
What's wrong with me?
Just need a piece of your love machine
The yellow sun is just like chicken soup
Both are wasted if they don't get used
I'm like a petal that needs to be plucked
Come on daddy, Let's duck
all resistance like Vietnam
You be my trader
I'll be your Viet Cong
What's wrong with me
Just need a piece of your love machine
You were my Romeo
I was your Juliet
Hiding in the trash can
We both got wet
You fed me chicken chow-mein
Our love was spicy, yet plain
You built a giant ship and you sailed with it
But now you're gone
Gone
Gone
What's a rose if it won't be smelled
What's a texture if it won't be felt
You wear a plaid like there' no tomorrow
It spills out of the closet
I think that I'll borrow
Some pants or some underwear
There's a trace of you under there
What's wrong with me
Just need a piece of your love machine


31.Nicotine Love

Go ahead touch me like that
The way you pull my (head or hair) back
Go ahead breathe me in
Bit me til I bleed
This love is like barbed wire running through my veins
Nicotine Love
Go ahead hurt me like that
I've been hurt before
I won't be fixed again
I'm not afraid to sweat
Cause I like the pain and it's familiar to me
And more gentle than most men will ever be
Nicotine Love
*But don't get me wrong
I don't want a friend
Just need you here to help me satsify this childish sin
hunger so deep
You will melt on my tongue
And I will (punch or put) you to sleep
And I will press you like petals
Til you're fragile and bent
And I'll rid you of...
Nicotine Love
It hurts just right
Not to know your name
But feel that body beneath me
Struggling as though
As when I was with him
Gonna make you promise
Than I will crush your heart
Cause I can't
Because it happened to me
Nicotine Love
So come here baby
My honey, cutie-pie
Let my fingers swim like pale fish through your hair
So I can tell you that I love you
Your safe, never let me go
You wonder why
Nicotine Love
*But don't get me wrong...
So go ahead touch me like that
(The end is drawing near?)
Go ahead hurt me that way
Don't even know enough to fear
You don't know how true it is when you say
My kisses are
But soon you'll have no more options

Love is like barbed wire
I'm electric and so alone
So come here stray cat
I'm gonna take you home
I'm gonna press you like petals
Til you're fragile and bent
And I'll...
Well I'll...
Nicotine Love


32.Nikos

She lived in a trailer out eastern road
Her loneliness was a disease
But my daddy couldn't see it though
Her name was Linda her smile was forced
And folks 'round town say she dressed like a divorce
My daddy had a son by her
'though she wasn't supposed to be able
I was eight years old when they told me 'round the table
I looked at my daddy, he looked to the ground

I guessed that we'd be stickin' round awhile
Might as well smile cause there's no point in being mean
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream

Got called to the principal's office
Did I do something wrong?
Doctor on the telephone said,
'Congratulations, you've got a baby brother born.'
Got sent to a psychiatrist in case I resented their child.
I was bitter in my anguish but my manner was mild.
My daddy got excommunicated from the Mormon church.
Guess an illegitimate son in God's eye has no worth
He tried to stick around but he flew the coop in spring.
He loved that baby just not Linda it seemed
But still I know we'd be stickin' round awhile
Might as well smile cause there's no point in bein' mean.
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream.
So Linda got remarried now my brother called that new man 'dad'
But it didn't last long I hear his temper was bad
So she said that we could see him on every other Saturday.
We all were shocked when he called my daddy 'uncle'
She said it was better that way.
They tried to get back together but it was off and on
One day she disappeared, I hear to Oregon.
I haven't seen him since. I guess I'm supposed to forget.
That he was my brother too and not just their legal mess

I thought that we'd be stickin' 'round awhile
Might as well smile 'cause there's no point in bein' mean.
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream.

This song is for Nikos wherever you may be
I know things were tough but you're okay by me
And your momma ain't a bad person, my daddy's ain't no fool
Sometimes parents just need forgiving too.
PS, I love you, your sister Jewel.
PS, I love you, your sister Jewel.


33.No More Heartaches

Shut up, sweetheart, I want you to hear
I can no longer love the same thing I fear
I can no longer let myself stay close
To the one thing that hurts me the most
I will not kiss the thorn
Hearts don't need to bleed to know what they're for
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches for me

I take back my sweetness
It's overlooked by your lust
My song is unseen
'cause your touch is too tough
I don't think your hands know how to adore
The subtlety of me anymore
I unfasten myself from your side
Slip away, quiet as a sigh
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches for me

Beds filled with suspicion
Hearts filled with spite
We sleep with thieves
And forego our sights
Too quick to hold
Someone's word over our own
You may be cool
You may know how to flatter
In the end (all I have is matter (?))
There'll be no more heartaches
There'll be no more heartaches
No more heartache anymore
Anymore, oh oh oh, for me.


34.Picecs of You

She's an ugly girl, does it make you want to kill her?
She's an ugly girl, do you want to kick in her face?
She's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat.
She's an ugly girl, does that make you feel safe?
Ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?

She's a pretty girl, does she make you think nasty thoughts?
She's a pretty girl, do you want to tie her down?
She's a pretty girl, do you call her a bitch?
She's a pretty girl, did she sleep with your whole town?
Pretty girl, pretty girl, do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?

You say he's a faggot, does it make you want to hurt him?
You say he's a faggot, do you want to bash in his brain?
You say he's a faggot, does he make you sick to your stomach?
You say he's a faggot, are you afraid you're just the same?
Faggot, Faggot, do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?

You say he's a Jew, does it mean that he's tight?
You say he's a Jew, do you want to hurt his kids tonight?
You say he's a Jew, he'll never wear that funny hat again.
You say he's a Jew, as though being born were a sin.
Oh Jew, oh Jew, do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?


35.Race Car Driver

Come on baby, let's get in the car
I'm gonna take you real, real far
I'm gonna paint your mama's face on the door
You ain't gonna see her anymore
We'll paint a red flamed firebird on front
I will be Evel Knievel, you can double my stunts
This ain't no Malibu Barbie Corvette
This is a real 350 V-8, fuel-injected engine from a private
liner jet

And I'm going to be your race car driver
Your race car driver
Got studded tires, excuse me if I'm blunt
I've got ribbed rims for her pleasure up front
Got fuzzy dice with a secret door
Full of flavored serums, breath freshener and more
Say, you look smashing by the dashboard light
Come on baby gonna make you feel alright
I'm gonna take you at high warp speed
It's better than watching Star Trek after you smoked weed

Come on baby, let's get on the road
Let's get on track
And I will grab the wheel like
It was your hair I was pulling back
I'm gonna straddle the line
Swear to God it's gonna take you real far
I'm just a real small man with a real big car
And I'm gonna be your race car driver
So come on baby what's your answer, you gonna cross the line
Ah, quit your sniveling, it's no or yes this time
What you're hungry? We'll stop by Mickey D's* for a happy meal
For a regular hot dog ordeal on wheels
But I can see that you're not impressed
By the way that you are fully dressed
Looks like I'll have to pull out all the stops
I'm a sensitive man of the 90's, sweetheart,
Who cares for your emotional being an awful lot


36.Ride Away

Pop works in the shop til eight
Mom's on the phone and she's kind of
Sally's doing sommersaults on the lawn
Pop slams open the front screen door
Just to scare mom
She says, 'What the hell did you do that for?'
He washes his dirty hands in the sink
And things around the table are kind of rough
Mom says it's pa
Pa says, 'The times are just tough'
And me and Sally don't say much of nothing at all
The garage door light brightens up the night
Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight
As though he could figure out that woman by working on that old
car
He said a car can cure any problem at all
Cause of looking at all them parts makes a fight look so small
But I wish he'd just put me and Sally in the backseat and drive
us away
That's when he sits me down
He says he's gonna teach me about life
He said, 'A man needs a car and a boy needs a bike'
I got my first taste of freedom beneath the light of the moon
But if it were me
I'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and nuts
And I'd Ride Away so fast, so far
Ride Away... So fast, so far
Put away our tools
We go back inside
Mom feels left out and now she's starting to cry
I wonder if all girls are crazy this way
I wish pops would just get a (spine?)
I said I know it's kind of small but you can borrow mine
He just smiled and said, 'Your mom means well son'
Most times are good it's just some that are lean
But it's love that makes up for those times in beteween
He got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's hand said one day
I'd
understand
But if it were me
I'd have the guts to put to test those bolts and nuts
And I'd Ride Away so far, so fast
Ride Away so fast so far
Ride Away


37.Satellite

Babies on beach blankets headed for Mars,
Cute Guys with crew cuts in the day-glo surf bars,
There's a pretty lady in a bikini,
Her eyes are clear,
But her teeth look like smashed out window panes,
She's trying to mend her dreams,
With Sushi and seaweed and carrot juice.

Chorus:
There's a white wall that we can't see over now,
But that's okay, we're still learning,
Mistakes are allowed,
If you're a satellite.

Yoga classes so you can look good in your singles bars,
California is sure lovely it's the home of the stars,
And everybody is a nice body,
But their souls are like shadows, they are hollow it shows,
And hiding behind power bars, volleyball, valium

Chorus:
There's a white wall that we can't see over now,
But that's okay, we're still learning,
Mistakes are allowed,
If you're a satellite.

We understand a lot of things,
About technology but not dreams,
Our hearts are on shelves.
We can't fix ourselves,
But we can fix a satellite.

In Hollywood the heroes are strung out on grace,
And half-skinned gypsies are crying to leave this place.

Chorus:
There's a white wall that we can't see over now,
But that's okay, we're still learning,
Mistakes are allowed,
If you're a satellite.

We know how to fix a satellite.


38.See Sassy Wake Up

See Sassy wake up she's in love
Can't you tell by the ring on her finger
Can't you tell by her fifty dollar shoes
That she confuses love with the people she uses
But don't worry about nothing, don't worry at all
It's just a temporary conjunction
Even spring's got to fall

See Sassy wake up, a little girl
She looks so feminine, so fragile, so weak
And Papa said that she's too cute for words
So Sassy never learned how to speak

But don't worry bout nothing, don't worry at all
It's just a temporary conjunction
Even spring's got to fall

Hush you baby, don't you cry
Papa's gonna buy you some pudding pie
Hush you baby, don't distress
Papa's gonna buy you a real nice dress

As though that could mend your heart
As though it could keep it from being torn apart
As though it were your destiny
To face every man you meet on your knees

See Sassy wake up on the other side
She stares at her wedding dress and starts to cry
She's got big eyes but they don't see too clear
She says, 'My god, how did I end up here?'

But don't worry about it, don't worry at all
It's just a temporary conjunction
Even spring's got to fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

See Sassy wake up she's in love...
See Sassy wake up she's in love...


39.Silver Lining

My muffins are in the toaster
I got my raspberry jam
My grandfather was a sailor
that came onto this land
and he was looking for gold,
a pretty hand to hold,
or some cards to fold.
At least, that's what I was told.

Silver Lining
Silver Lining, where'd you go?

Turn on my TV
They got talking heads in space
used to be so easy
to have a little faith
I used to rely on luck
I didn't feel so stuck
Could earn an honest buck
without lookin round, like Jon Kruk.

Silver Lining
Silver Lining, where'd you go?

I used to have hope
Now we got soap on a rope
I used to have dreams
Now we got overplayed baseball teams
We got grocery baggers, grafitti taggers,
golf-ball shaggers, go team go.

Silver Lining
Silver Lining, where'd you go?

My landlord knocks upon my door
He's got that payday face
I swear to God he should be payin me
To live inside this place
It's filled with sharks and fins
whose double chins say
Thicken your skin, child
if you want to win

Silver Lining
Silver Lining, where'd you go?

I fix myself some herbal tea
cause it's healthier they say
well, healthier ain't half as fun
I take a cold beer anyday
I used to have dysfunctional fun
in the cancerous sun
with my co-dependent hon
eatin' greasy greasy hotdogs on a buttered up bun

Silver Lining
Silver Lining, where'd you go?
Silver Lining
Silver Lining, where'd you go?


Repeat refrain. (x2)


40.Sometimes It Be That Way

Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
My pen is present but courage left via the sink
And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind
I'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme
And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins
And I swear to God it won't happen again
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
Oh well, sometimes it be that way=

And Romeo was a very nice man
He said 'Jewel, I don't think you quite understand' *
And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this
I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss
And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently
Down in the hollow by the old olive tree
And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day **
Oh well, sometimes It be that way

Chorus:

I said 'Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And Aphrodite with her neon lamp
Kissed Neptune they put her face on a stamp
And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you
I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you
And I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings
Could get across these simple things
And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And Goldilocks, well she knew three bears
They all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs
And I'm sorry I never got to find you like this
Sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss
And I'm sorry for all the times
I forgot to imply something in between the lines
And I'm sorry if I ever caused you pain
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

Chorus:
I said 'Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall
Electricity chases its tail in the hall
And I'm sorry my arms to you were just empty rooms
I'm sorry I never could comfort you
And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is a miserable town
And I'm sorry if I am bringing you down
And I'm sorry if it was my love that rained on your parade
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
And flame licks the air with its silver tongue
Night has many hands but I have just one
And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly
I'm sorry I never served you Chamomile tea
And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match
That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
And I'm sorry if it was my heart breaking that ruined your
parade
And I'm sorry if it was my love that rained on your parade
And I'm sorry if my love ruined your day
And I'm sorry if I was just a game you didn't always want to
play
And I'm sorry if it was I that caused you pain
And i'm sorry if I ever caused you pain
And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain


41.Summer Home In Your Arms

You take your coat off and throw it on the floor
Night has built you into my arms once more
You feel so familiar as you get into bed
Cigarette smoke halo around you head
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours
Building a summer home in your arms
I kiss you with the languid adiration of slumber
Landin' random as lotto numbers
One for each eye
And, oops, one on your nose
And ten for each of your cute little toes
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours...
Building a summer home in your arms
Am I crazy, do I talk too much?
Sometimes I think your silence is a crutch
Am I mad, are you married?
Oh jesus this love stuff can sure be scary
But so sweet... So sweet
Here in your arms
I'm a bit of a mess and I'm gone too much
But when I'm away it's you I long to touch
And certain things remind me it's such a special treat
As these little things that bring you to me
You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
I could lay with you like this for hours...
Hours and hours...
Building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
I'm building a summer home in your arms
Built with all your charms


42.Sunshine Superman

Sunshine came softly through my window today
I could have tripped out easy but I've changed my ways.
It'll take time I know it, but in a while...
You're gonna be mine and I know it, we'll do it in style.

Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now...
Any trick in the book, oh baby, that I can find.
Everybody's hustling just to have a little scene.
When I say we'll be cool, well, I think that, you know what I
mean.
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when...
I know a beach where baby, it never ends.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.
Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now...
Any trick in the book, oh baby, that I can find

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got, nothin' on me.
I can make like a turtle and dive for pearls in the sea
You can just sit there thinkin', on your velvet throne
About all the rainbows you can have for your own.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.

I'll tell you right now...
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.

I'll tell you right now...


43.Train Song(Aka Paler Shade Of Grey)

I try to recall what it was you said to me just then
but this train keeps on rocking me back to sleep
and I fear come tomorrow I won't even remember your name

I'd make myself remember
Make myself recall
but these promises and these vows I made you now
seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said I love you
But these colors and these canyons
now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
how these colors in my memory just fade
into such a pale shade of grey

and cold rails remind me of your cold feet
and my eyes expect to see you behind every door
but when I shut my eyes
I can't even recall what it is that you wore
My god was that only yesterday
I can't even remember your face
I feel so far away

I make myself remember
Make myself recall
but these promises and these vows I made you now
seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said I love you
But these colors and these canyons
now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
how these colors in my memory just fade away
into such a pale shade of grey

*I say to myself My god I used to love him
I wanted to share with him my womb and my world
But now I stare at him as though through a glass wall
I say I used to love him but now I feel nothing for him at all
My god how could this be
Won't you please explain this to me

Now sleep sings to me in a sweet and urgent voice
And I fear that I have no choice but to forget these flowers
these daisies you gave me, the offerings you made me
the vows that we swore by, swearing we'd be together
always and forever, the children we named and now we'll never
have
and I know I'm supposed to meet you
I don't even think I'll remember your name tomorrow

I make myself remember
Make myself recall
but these promises and these vows I made you now
seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said I love you
But these colors and these canyons
now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
how these colors in my memory just fade away
into such a pale shade of grey


44.Under The Water

Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
So many toys

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

There's a hole inside my head where all the thoughts break out
Sometimes my flesh is filled with forgetfulness and doubt
It's easy to feel separate, no control of the reigns
Innocence ain't lost it just needs to be maintained
It needs to be maintained

Beside me are strange fish, moody and dark
A tapestry of intention that maintains the spark
And there's a tiny light
A flicker within
Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend
It knows how to mend

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

(Spoken 'Rap')
I've decided to hear who we will become
Wanna lay down in the water, go back to where I'm from
Outer space is just a puzzle of stars
Music the mechanics of the human heart
A post that stirs, a shadow that casts
An insatiable thirst drains a martini glass
There's no place sacred, no honest reflection
Our senses made senseless by a lack o' direction
Monks are great with their fists uncurled
But they live in a cave, they know nothin' of the world
I wanna live brave, I wanna love without fear
But it's hard to navigate when I can't even hear

(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)

Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
There're so many toys

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who I'll become

Under the water
My flesh is filled with stars
Under the water
I hear who we really are

Under the water
I lay my burdens down, down, down
Under the water
All resistance drowns

(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)
(Do do do do do do do, Do do do do)

Come on, come down, down, down under go,
A-go down on and go down under
Go under the water
I hear who I'll become

Under the water
I lay my problems down
Under the water
All my resistance drowned


45.V-12 Cadillac

He's lonely and he cruises real low
That's my V-12 Cadillac
You know he's on the go
On down to the ocean
Surfboard by my side
He's my V-12 Cadillac
With delux power glide
I check the ocean, yeah
From atop of the hill
We're going surfing
In my Coup de Ville
I pull out on the freeway
I put my Caddy in low
Then this real cute guy passed me
But my horn just wouldn't blow
So I pulled up beside him
Looked over real cool
Then he rolled down his window and he said,
'Hey baby, your Caddy's a Jewel.'
I check the ocean, yeah
From atop of the hill
We're going surfing
In my Coup de Ville
He's lonely and cruises real low
That's my V-12 Cadillac
You know he's on the go
On down to the ocean
And my surfboard's by my side
It's my V-12 Cadillac
With delux power glide
I check the ocean
From the hill
We're going surfing
In my Coup de Ville
(Come on baby)
'Hey nice board, you surf?'
'Gimme a four foot wall and a good shoulder.'
'Are you any good?'
'Oh honey, you don't know how good.'
We're going surfing
In my Coup de Ville
(Come on)


46.Winter Song

Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes burn bright
Against the frost lit sky
You never seemed more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Two bodies merging seperately
Time stands still
If its pierced with cold

Chorus:
The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
What's simple is true
And I love you

Theres a warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side
And never let go
Time knows nothing
We'll never grow cold

The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
What's simple is true
And I love you

The twilight descends
On our sillouhettes
How soon Spring comes
How soon Spring forgets
I wanna stop time
Say 'It'll never begin'
Old Man Winter be our friend
Old Man Winter be our friend

The Moonlight hears
The Moonlight knows
What's simple


47.YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME

I hear the clock, it's 6am
I feel so far away from where I've been
Got my eggs, and my pancakes too
Got my maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off of the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause

CHROUS: Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
Picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
Saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad

CHROUS: Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

BRIDGE: Go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken every day
Brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick up a book, Turn the sheets down
Take a deep breath and a good look around

Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight

CHROUS: Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you


48.You're So Small

Gonna walk down the street
and seduce every man I meet
because I'm having a bad day.
I am
not size six.
My legs are not
skinny as sticks
and dammit, someone's got to pay.
(That's the power of a woman, ohhhh)

I feel unattractive.
I'm gonna see if it's true.
I'm going to break a heart or maybe two.
I'm gonna put on a sexy red thing
Gonna run every ??? (sounds like lake, or late, or wait)
I'm gonna pull some strings
Cause my strength is in my
power over you.
(the power of a woman)

But I'm afraid that I can't satisfy myself
And that my happiness depends on someone else.
I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so small, you're so small, you're so small.
You're so small, you're so small, you're so small.
You're so small, I feel fat, you're so small.
You're so small, I don't feel anything, cuz you're so small.


49.Tiny Love Spaces

I don't care if you leave your name after the beep.
Don't care if those are promises you intend to keep.
Cause lovers are just shadows that disappear with the light
And my happiness don't depend on if you come tonight.
Ahoh-oh oh

I don't think that you're cheap
I don't expect anything
You don't gotta leave what time you called on my machine.
Cause being in love just means calling places
When you can't afford the bill
Cause we all got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill
Ohoh oo

Filling up tiny love spaces
Getting lost inside of insatiable mazes
Looking for heroes in worn-out faces
Looking for a great big love in tiny places

You wake up, it's the next morning
Put my high-powered columbian crystals in the coffee machine
Read the newspaper, drink six cups of cofee, listen to mozart's
fifth
Do most anything not to hear the phone ring
Oh oo ooooo

And i don't mind that you're emotionally blind
Don't care if i'm someone you want to see
You don't got to leave your number for me.
Cause i do not need your gosh-darn phone calls telling me how
you feel
I only just need to make love to tell me that i'm real

Cause we all got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill
ohoh oooo

50.Too Darn Hot

It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot

I'd like to sup
With my baby tonight
Refill the cup
With my baby tonight
I'd like to sup
With my baby tonight
Refill the cup
With my baby tonight
But brother you'll find
My baby tonight
Cause it's too darn hot

I call into
The kinsey report
Every average man, you know
He much prefers
His lovey-dovey to court
When the temperature is low

Cause when the thermometer
Goes way up
And the weather is sizzling hot
Mr. pants for romance
A g.i. for his cutie-pie
A marine for his queen is not

Cause its too, too
Too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too
Darn
Hot

53.Unsung In Your Eyes

Rising to the challenge
Tough boys always appeal
With a little bit of orange
With a little bit of blue
I'm gonna fix you up
Bring out the best in you
I'm going to empty myself out
Hollowed of pride and alone
Filled in with with myself
The courage will be my own
But still i falter
Your hands know not my own
It's not that my body is overlooked
My soul is just unknown
And i cry myself to sleep
It should come as no surprise
I've tailored myself to fit your needs
Still i am unsung in your eyes
Still i am unsung in your eyes

55.Walk Away

Don say i love you, i won say that i care
I l pretend i never kissed you, or held you, or worshipped you
I swear
I l live in denial for as long as i live
Cuz *what i need baby, this love just can give
We have to walk away
We have to walk away

I l try not to sing, you l try not to talk with those lips
We l forget all the sweet memories, and now we'll just go with
what
Is
Cuz this love ain loving, and i don know why
But anything that stands so still can be alive
We have to walk away
We have to walk away

But there were times our love was, so sweet
And it *memory that makes me want to make it last
But you can make love work, anymore than you can make it leave
And it then you gotta leave it yourself

Cuz when love ain loving but still ain leaving
It then you gotta leave it yourself

Now jealousy can ride your heart like a sick kind of pony
And envy just the same
And your loneliness can consume you no matter how much love you
had
And when it all boils down, baby, there no other way
And i *care much more than to make you stay
We have to walk away
We have to walk away

So at night, when darkness fills me,
I l pretend you never spoke my name
When i sitting home that lonely,
I l pretend you e home and lonely, oh just the same
And i l pretend this sorrow, this sorrow will pass
And i l try to pretend that this loneliness won last
And that i l walk away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Refrain
Repeat
Refrain2
Repeat

So don say
So don say i love you
I won say that i care


56.Weeping Tree

Don't cry pretty girl
Do as you're told to
Don't (???) memories just because it hurts you
There's a stranger's sillhouette
Had it's way with you
Because it wanted to

Don't worry
Ain't damaged (???) yet
Don't let it haunt you
Just stand out in the rain
Until you're made whole again
The (???) under the moon
Weeping tree
Under the weeping tree
Underneath the starry sky
You're just a stranger

Tut tut, shh
Ain't it embarassing
To be yesterday's lover
To stand out in the rain
Until you're made whole again
(???) you'll see
Under the weeping tree
Under the weeping tree


57.What Matters Is The Heart

did you forget about the passion
Of living day to day
We keep our dreams locked down inside
And choking on a lifetime
And never take a chance
Wake up one day wishing you tried

And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
And it ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

Lets forget about the notion
That we're not the same
My blood runs as red as yours
We all get angry
We've all been scared
We've all made big mistakes
That can never be repaired

And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

Look me in the eye
Take my hand
We can make a difference
We can make a difference
I know we can
If we forgot about the passion
Living day to day
We kept our dreams locked down inside
And choking on a life time
And never take a chance
Wake up one day wishing you tried

It ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart


58.When I Was With You

This song was written by jewel and steve poltz--jewel wrote the
Lyrics, but the music (melody) was written by steve for a song
with
Different lyrics that appears on morning wood. this was jewel's
Response to that song, told from the female's point of view.

Do you remember when we were younger,
All those crazy things that we used to do?
You'd play my hips like drumsets
And sing all your favorite stevie wonder tunes
When i was with ya.

Do you remember we did everything together?
I'd share my otter pops with you.
And we would sing in all the slimy slimy barrooms
We'd watch for your cousin ed on the evening news
When i was with ya

I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you

Could've been whoopi goldberg's breasts

Do you remember when you wrote all those letters?
Though i admit they were kind of sick
But still i knew i was your honey sugar dumpling
And just like a good line you'd alweys be there to lick
When i was with ya

Do you remember when you took all those classes?
All those crazy gadgets you would fix
I hated how cluttered our apartment was
I hated our landlord harry, he was such a dick
When i was with ya

I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you

Could've been richard nixon's last pair of clean underwear ?????

Do you remember when we went to mexico
And stayed in that cute little place
We were honin' our fine love-makin' skills
And you tattoed 'i love you' on your face
When i was with ya

I still remember the last time that i saw you
You left me with a hotdog in my hand
Was it cause i didn't want a pickle or was it a pretty senorita
Oh well, there was always stuff that i didn't understand
When i was with ya

I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you being with you

Being with you

59.Winter Song

Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes burn bright
Against the frost lit sky
You never seemed more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Two bodies merging seperately
Time stands still
If its pierced with cold

Chorus:
The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
What's simple is true
And i love you

Theres a warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side
And never let go
Time knows nothing
We'll never grow cold

The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
What's simple is true
And i love you

The twilight descends
On our sillouhettes
How soon spring comes
How soon spring forgets
I wanna stop time
Say 'it'll never begin'
Old man winter be our friend
Old man winter be our friend

The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
What's simple is true
What's simple is true
And i love you

,-------------
October '97 version

Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes so blue
Against the frost lit sky
You never looked more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Two shadows merging seperately
Time stands still
Its pierced with cold

Chorus:
The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
And i love you

Theres warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side
And never let me go
Time knows nothing
And it'll never grow cold

The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
And i love you

Twilight descends
On our sillouhette
How soon spring comes
How soon spring forgets
I once talked of time
Saying 'it'll never begin'
Old man winter be our friend
Old man winter be our friend

The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
And i love you


60.Without You By My Side

I lie so tired in my bed
And moon shows herself to the door
And i shut my eyes.
I pray to god, won't you tell me please,
What's a girl like me doing
Lying here without you by my side?
Lying here without you by my side
Lying here without you by my side

The room fills with moonlight and memories of old times,
But don't worry about me, i'm just fine most of the time.
The hardest part is late night, when i'm home all alone,
And the house is so still nothing better to do than think about
you.
I'm lying here without you by my side
I'm lying here without you by my side

How quick my heart wants to believe, i'll never be lonely again.
It's those little things i never thought about much, that i miss
most in the
End.
Like those sweet red-wine kisses, and the candlelight,
And the poetry, but mainly, it's just the warmth of your skin,
And having you by my side,
I'm lying here without you by my side

There's this weight in my heart, it's so heavy, so sad,
It felt like a wave that any moment comes crashing down,
And maybe my sorrow will drown tomorrow
When i'm lying here without you by my side
I'm lying here without you by my side

61.Yo

* jewel and atz together

A little yodeling song
For my man yo
And i know that yo don't know
That i wrote this song a late one night
He'd heard me yodeling down at hobo gin's
And we were hanging out at the putter inn
He was beggin me to yodel
And oh yo he wasn't half the type
He held out his hand
I said 'what's your name?'
And he said 'yo'
So i asked him again
And he said 'yo' again
So i figured it must be his name
Well i was having some perculiar thoughts
But you can't say much with a name like atz
So i settled back
Tried to figure out yo-yo's game
Now yo was sailin three sheets of the wind
With a frozen stare
And an ear-to-ear grin
He kept beggin me to yodel, sayin
'g-gget up there and yodel with the band'
It was my good friend rod with a hired gun
So i stepped up to have a little bit of fun
With the lead, and the bass and the drummer and the rhythm man
Now yo he staggered right up to the stage
He had this angelic smile on his face
That sucker looked like he floated up to heaven and he died
While i never had a fan quite like yo before
He stood there mesmerized on the floor
He started stompin and clappin when he heard my yodeling cry

(chorus)
And i said
*yo this yodeling song's for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent
I've never had myself a fan club before
But yo don't you know that one thing's for sure
If i do i'll make you my fan club president

And i said
*(yodel)

Well when i got through
I said 'there you go yo'
And he was still smiling but his eyes were still closed
And i thought i was going to get away from him
But then he opened them wide and said
'i-ii want to hear some more'
Well i was wearing out my welcome and i was running out of time
But i decided that i'd yodel up another line
Cause i thought it was the only way i could get yo off the floor
Then i got to thinking
I realized
Suddenly i realized
Why old yo liked yodeling
Because everytime i yodeled i was saying yo's name
Well then i got to thinking it probably wouldn't work too well
In fact it downright sounds like hell
If you ever try to yodel using anybody elses name

Try inga
*inga-lay (etc.)

See what i mean it just doesn't work

So in this whole wide world
No matter where i go
One thing i've learned
I've finally know
I'll never yodel again if there's anyone in the audience named
yo

And i said
*yo this yodeling song's for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent
I've never had myself a fan club before
But yo don't you know that one thing's for sure
If i do i'll make you my fan club president

And i said
*(yodel)
(long yodel)


62.You Make Lovin' Fun

Sweet wonderful you,
You make me happy with the things you do,
Oh, can it be so,
This feeling follows me wherever i go.

I never did believe in miracles,
But i've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But i'm beginning to wonder why.

Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will,
You, you make loving fun,
And i don't have to tell you you're the only one.

You make loving fun.
You make loving fun.


63.You're In Cleveland Today

When walking underneath the shadows
Where dark and sweet secrets lay
When night tonight falls gently down
Hearts helplessly fall to the ground
Underneath a velvet sky
Only words can lie

I wanna tell*(play) you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And i'll be your only girl
This much i'd like to say
But you're in cleveland today

Stewardesses like cosmo magazine
Vogue makes me nervous, i feel so plain
But i could face the world fearlessly
If you would face it here with me
With just our four hands and four eyes
Traffic cops would compromise


Daffodils and roulette wheels and rusty automobiles
Somewhere our things share the same windowsill
Somewhere our hearts exist independent of time
Somewhere we are whole
One body, one body and one mind

>from the air things look so ridiculous
Our fears so small our fight*/hearts*/mall* so vain*
*(our malls so small our fears so frail)
I want to pilot a plane with you
So all our problems look small too
It's just an inch from me to you
Depending on what map you use


64.You're So Small

'i went to school here in michigan at a place
Called interlochen, and, uh, there's a lot of dancers there.
About 60% of the dancers were either anorexic or bulemic.
And i often blamed it on their boyfriends.
So i wrote this about that.
I didn't agree with that, by the way.'

Gonna walk down the street
And seduce every man i meet
Because i'm having a bad day.
I am
Not size six.
My legs are not
Skinny as sticks
And dammit, someone's got to pay.
(that's the power of a woman, ohhhh)

I feel unattractive.
I'm gonna see if it's true.
I'm going to break a heart or maybe two.
I'm gonna put on a sexy red thing
Gonna run very late
I'm gonna pull some strings
Cause my strength is in my
Power over you.
(the power of a woman)

But i'm afraid that i can't satisfy myself
And that my happiness depends on someone else.
I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so small, you're so small, you're so small.
You're so small, i feel fat, you're so small.
You're so small, i don't feel anything, cuz you're so small.


65.Intuition

ladedada

ladedada
ladedada da dum

I'm just a simple girl
In a high tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Miss J's big butt is boss
Kate Moss can't find a job
In a world of post modern fad
What was good now is bad

It's not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

ladedada
ladedada

You look at me
But you're not quite sure
Am I it or could you get more?
You learn cool from magazines
You learn love from Charlie Sheen

If you want me let me know
I promise i won't say no

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

You got something that you want me to sell
Sell your sin
Just cash in
You got something that you want me to tell
You'll love me
Wait and see

If you want me
Don't play games
I promise
It won't be in vain
Uh-uh-uh

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind

Just follow your heart baby

66.Tiny Love Spaces

I don't care if you leave your name after the beep.
Don't care if those are promises you intend to keep.
Cause lovers are just shadows that disappear with the light
And my happiness don't depend on if you come tonight.
Ahoh-oh oh

I don't think that you're cheap
I don't expect anything
You don't gotta leave what time you called on my machine.
Cause being in love just means calling places
When you can't afford the bill
Cause we all got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill
Ohoh oo

Filling up tiny love spaces
Getting lost inside of insatiable mazes
Looking for heroes in worn-out faces
Looking for a great big love in tiny places

You wake up, it's the next morning
Put my high-powered columbian crystals in the coffee machine
Read the newspaper, drink six cups of cofee, listen to mozart's
fifth
Do most anything not to hear the phone ring
Oh oo ooooo

And i don't mind that you're emotionally blind
Don't care if i'm someone you want to see
You don't got to leave your number for me.
Cause i do not need your gosh-darn phone calls telling me how
you feel
I only just need to make love to tell me that i'm real

Cause we all got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill
ohoh oooo

67.Too Darn Hot

It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot

I'd like to sup
With my baby tonight
Refill the cup
With my baby tonight
I'd like to sup
With my baby tonight
Refill the cup
With my baby tonight
But brother you'll find
My baby tonight
Cause it's too darn hot

I call into
The kinsey report
Every average man, you know
He much prefers
His lovey-dovey to court
When the temperature is low

Cause when the thermometer
Goes way up
And the weather is sizzling hot
Mr. pants for romance
A g.i. for his cutie-pie
A marine for his queen is not

Cause its too, too
Too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too
Darn
Hot


68.Train Song(Aka Paler Shade Of Grey)

I try to recall what it was you said to me just then
But this train keeps on rocking me back to sleep
And i fear come tomorrow i won't even remember your name

I'd make myself remember
Make myself recall
But these promises and these vows i made you now
Seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said i love you
But these colors and these canyons
Now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
How these colors in my memory just fade
Into such a pale shade of grey

And cold rails remind me of your cold feet
And my eyes expect to see you behind every door
But when i shut my eyes
I can't even recall what it is that you wore
My god was that only yesterday
I can't even remember your face
I feel so far away

I make myself remember
Make myself recall
But these promises and these vows i made you now
Seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said i love you
But these colors and these canyons
Now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
How these colors in my memory just fade away
Into such a pale shade of grey

*i say to myself my god i used to love him
I wanted to share with him my womb and my world
But now i stare at him as though through a glass wall
I say i used to love him but now i feel nothing for him at all
My god how could this be
Won't you please explain this to me

Now sleep sings to me in a sweet and urgent voice
And i fear that i have no choice but to forget these flowers
These daisies you gave me, the offerings you made me
The vows that we swore by, swearing we'd be together
Always and forever, the children we named and now we'll never
have
And i know i'm supposed to meet you
I don't even think i'll remember your name tomorrow

I make myself remember
Make myself recall
But these promises and these vows i made you now
Seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said i love you
But these colors and these canyons
Now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
How these colors in my memory just fade away
Into such a pale shade of grey


69.Under The Water

Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
So many toys

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who i'll become

There's a hole inside my head where all the thoughts break out
Sometimes my flesh is filled with forgetfulnes and doubt
It's easy to feel separate, no control of the reigns
Innocence ain't lost it just needs to be maintained
It needs to be maintained

Beside me are strange fish, moody and dark
A tapestry of intention that maintains the spark
And there's a tiny light
A flicker within
Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend
It knows how to mend

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who i'll become

(spoken 'rap')
I've decided to hear who we will become
Wanna lay down in the water, go back to where i'm from
Outer space is just a puzzle of stars
Music the mechanics of the human heart
A post that stirs, a shadow that casts
An insatiable thirst drains a martini glass
There's no place sacred, no honest reflection
Our senses made senseless by a lack o' direction
Monks are great with their fists uncurled
But they live in a cave, they know nothin' of the world
I wanna live brave, i wanna love without fear
But it's hard to navigate when i can't even hear

(do do do do do do do,
Do do do do)

Bees are buzzin' in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Can't escape the scratchin'
My blood makes a noise
It's hard not to play when there are so many toys
There're so many toys

Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who i'll become

Under the water
My flesh is filled with stars
Under the water
I hear who we really are

Under the water
I lay my burdens down, down, down
Under the water
All resistance drowns

(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)

Come on, come down, down, down under go,
A-go down on and go down under
Go under the water
I hear who i'll become

Under the water
I lay my problems down
Under the water
All my resistance drowned


70.Unsung In Your Eyes

Rising to the challenge
Tough boys always appeal
With a little bit of orange
With a little bit of blue
I'm gonna fix you up
Bring out the best in you
I'm going to empty myself out
Hollowed of pride and alone
Filled in with with myself
The courage will be my own
But still i falter
Your hands know not my own
It's not that my body is overlooked
My soul is just unknown
And i cry myself to sleep
It should come as no surprise
I've tailored myself to fit your needs
Still i am unsung in your eyes
Still i am unsung in your eyes


71.V-12 Cadillac

He's lonely and he cruises real low
That's my v-12 cadillac
You know he's on the go
On down to the ocean
Surfboard by my side
He's my v-12 cadillac
With delux power glide
I check the ocean, yeah
>from atop of the hill
We're going surfing
In my coup de ville
I pull out on the freeway
I put my caddy in low
Then this real cute guy passed me
But my horn just wouldn't blow
So i pulled up beside him
Looked over real cool
Then he rolled down his window and he said,
'hey baby, your caddy's a jewel.'
I check the ocean, yeah
>from atop of the hill
We're going surfing
In my coup de ville
He's lonely and cruises real low
That's my v-12 cadillac
You know he's on the go
On down to the ocean
And my surfboard's by my side
It's my v-12 cadillac
With delux power glide
I check the ocean
>from the hill
We're going surfing
In my coup de ville
(come on baby)
'hey nice board, you surf?'
'gimme a four foot wall and a good shoulder.'
'are you any good?'
'oh honey, you don't know how good.'
We're going surfing
In my coup de ville
(come on)


72.Walk Away

Don say i love you, i won say that i care
I l pretend i never kissed you, or held you, or worshipped you
I swear
I l live in denial for as long as i live
Cuz *what i need baby, this love just can give
We have to walk away
We have to walk away

I l try not to sing, you l try not to talk with those lips
We l forget all the sweet memories, and now we'll just go with
what
Is
Cuz this love ain loving, and i don know why
But anything that stands so still can be alive
We have to walk away
We have to walk away

But there were times our love was, so sweet
And it *memory that makes me want to make it last
But you can make love work, anymore than you can make it leave
And it then you gotta leave it yourself

Cuz when love ain loving but still ain leaving
It then you gotta leave it yourself

Now jealousy can ride your heart like a sick kind of pony
And envy just the same
And your loneliness can consume you no matter how much love you
had
And when it all boils down, baby, there no other way
And i *care much more than to make you stay
We have to walk away
We have to walk away

So at night, when darkness fills me,
I l pretend you never spoke my name
When i sitting home that lonely,
I l pretend you e home and lonely, oh just the same
And i l pretend this sorrow, this sorrow will pass
And i l try to pretend that this loneliness won last
And that i l walk away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Refrain
Repeat
Refrain2
Repeat

So don say
So don say i love you
I won say that i care


73.Weeping Tree

Don't cry pretty girl
Do as you're told to
Don't (???) memories just because it hurts you
There's a stranger's sillhouette
Had it's way with you
Because it wanted to

Don't worry
Ain't damaged (???) yet
Don't let it haunt you
Just stand out in the rain
Until you're made whole again
The (???) under the moon
Weeping tree
Under the weeping tree
Underneath the starry sky
You're just a stranger

Tut tut, shh
Ain't it embarassing
To be yesterday's lover
To stand out in the rain
Until you're made whole again
(???) you'll see
Under the weeping tree
Under the weeping tree


74.What Matters Is The Heart

did you forget about the passion
Of living day to day
We keep our dreams locked down inside
And choking on a lifetime
And never take a chance
Wake up one day wishing you tried

And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
And it ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

Lets forget about the notion
That we're not the same
My blood runs as red as yours
We all get angry
We've all been scared
We've all made big mistakes
That can never be repaired

And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

Look me in the eye
Take my hand
We can make a difference
We can make a difference
I know we can
If we forgot about the passion
Living day to day
We kept our dreams locked down inside
And choking on a life time
And never take a chance
Wake up one day wishing you tried

It ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about your losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart


75.When I Was With You

This song was written by jewel and steve poltz--jewel wrote the
Lyrics, but the music (melody) was written by steve for a song
with
Different lyrics that appears on morning wood. this was jewel's
Response to that song, told from the female's point of view.

Do you remember when we were younger,
All those crazy things that we used to do?
You'd play my hips like drumsets
And sing all your favorite stevie wonder tunes
When i was with ya.

Do you remember we did everything together?
I'd share my otter pops with you.
And we would sing in all the slimy slimy barrooms
We'd watch for your cousin ed on the evening news
When i was with ya

I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you

Could've been whoopi goldberg's breasts

Do you remember when you wrote all those letters?
Though i admit they were kind of sick
But still i knew i was your honey sugar dumpling
And just like a good line you'd alweys be there to lick
When i was with ya

Do you remember when you took all those classes?
All those crazy gadgets you would fix
I hated how cluttered our apartment was
I hated our landlord harry, he was such a dick
When i was with ya

I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you

Could've been richard nixon's last pair of clean underwear ?????

Do you remember when we went to mexico
And stayed in that cute little place
We were honin' our fine love-makin' skills
And you tattoed 'i love you' on your face
When i was with ya

I still remember the last time that i saw you
You left me with a hotdog in my hand
Was it cause i didn't want a pickle or was it a pretty senorita
Oh well, there was always stuff that i didn't understand
When i was with ya

I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
And i'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
And i'd read you the classified ads in bed
And you would point out all the miserable lives
That i could have had instead of being with you being with you

Being with you

76.Winter Song

Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes burn bright
Against the frost lit sky
You never seemed more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Two bodies merging seperately
Time stands still
If its pierced with cold

Chorus:
The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
What's simple is true
And i love you

Theres a warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side
And never let go
Time knows nothing
We'll never grow cold

The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
What's simple is true
And i love you

The twilight descends
On our sillouhettes
How soon spring comes
How soon spring forgets
I wanna stop time
Say 'it'll never begin'
Old man winter be our friend
Old man winter be our friend

The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
What's simple is true
What's simple is true
And i love you

,-------------
October '97 version

Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes so blue
Against the frost lit sky
You never looked more lovely than you do tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Two shadows merging seperately
Time stands still
Its pierced with cold

Chorus:
The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
And i love you

Theres warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side
And never let me go
Time knows nothing
And it'll never grow cold

The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
And i love you

Twilight descends
On our sillouhette
How soon spring comes
How soon spring forgets
I once talked of time
Saying 'it'll never begin'
Old man winter be our friend
Old man winter be our friend

The moonlight hears
The moonlight knows
Its simple
Its true
And i love you


77.Without You By My Side

I lie so tired in my bed
And moon shows herself to the door
And i shut my eyes.
I pray to god, won't you tell me please,
What's a girl like me doing
Lying here without you by my side?
Lying here without you by my side
Lying here without you by my side

The room fills with moonlight and memories of old times,
But don't worry about me, i'm just fine most of the time.
The hardest part is late night, when i'm home all alone,
And the house is so still nothing better to do than think about
you.
I'm lying here without you by my side
I'm lying here without you by my side

How quick my heart wants to believe, i'll never be lonely again.
It's those little things i never thought about much, that i miss
most in the
End.
Like those sweet red-wine kisses, and the candlelight,
And the poetry, but mainly, it's just the warmth of your skin,
And having you by my side,
I'm lying here without you by my side

There's this weight in my heart, it's so heavy, so sad,
It felt like a wave that any moment comes crashing down,
And maybe my sorrow will drown tomorrow
When i'm lying here without you by my side
I'm lying here without you by my side

78.Yo

* jewel and atz together

A little yodeling song
For my man yo
And i know that yo don't know
That i wrote this song a late one night
He'd heard me yodeling down at hobo gin's
And we were hanging out at the putter inn
He was beggin me to yodel
And oh yo he wasn't half the type
He held out his hand
I said 'what's your name?'
And he said 'yo'
So i asked him again
And he said 'yo' again
So i figured it must be his name
Well i was having some perculiar thoughts
But you can't say much with a name like atz
So i settled back
Tried to figure out yo-yo's game
Now yo was sailin three sheets of the wind
With a frozen stare
And an ear-to-ear grin
He kept beggin me to yodel, sayin
'g-gget up there and yodel with the band'
It was my good friend rod with a hired gun
So i stepped up to have a little bit of fun
With the lead, and the bass and the drummer and the rhythm man
Now yo he staggered right up to the stage
He had this angelic smile on his face
That sucker looked like he floated up to heaven and he died
While i never had a fan quite like yo before
He stood there mesmerized on the floor
He started stompin and clappin when he heard my yodeling cry

(chorus)
And i said
*yo this yodeling song's for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent
I've never had myself a fan club before
But yo don't you know that one thing's for sure
If i do i'll make you my fan club president

And i said
*(yodel)

Well when i got through
I said 'there you go yo'
And he was still smiling but his eyes were still closed
And i thought i was going to get away from him
But then he opened them wide and said
'i-ii want to hear some more'
Well i was wearing out my welcome and i was running out of time
But i decided that i'd yodel up another line
Cause i thought it was the only way i could get yo off the floor
Then i got to thinking
I realized
Suddenly i realized
Why old yo liked yodeling
Because everytime i yodeled i was saying yo's name
Well then i got to thinking it probably wouldn't work too well
In fact it downright sounds like hell
If you ever try to yodel using anybody elses name

Try inga
*inga-lay (etc.)

See what i mean it just doesn't work

So in this whole wide world
No matter where i go
One thing i've learned
I've finally know
I'll never yodel again if there's anyone in the audience named
yo

And i said
*yo this yodeling song's for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Remember that time spent yodeling's time well spent
I've never had myself a fan club before
But yo don't you know that one thing's for sure
If i do i'll make you my fan club president

And i said
*(yodel)
(long yodel)


79.You Make Lovin' Fun

Sweet wonderful you,
You make me happy with the things you do,
Oh, can it be so,
This feeling follows me wherever i go.

I never did believe in miracles,
But i've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But i'm beginning to wonder why.

Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will,
You, you make loving fun,
And i don't have to tell you you're the only one.

You make loving fun.
You make loving fun.


80.You're In Cleveland Today

When walking underneath the shadows
Where dark and sweet secrets lay
When night tonight falls gently down
Hearts helplessly fall to the ground
Underneath a velvet sky
Only words can lie

I wanna tell*(play) you everything
I wanna make your toes curl
You be my only boy
And i'll be your only girl
This much i'd like to say
But you're in cleveland today

Stewardesses like cosmo magazine
Vogue makes me nervous, i feel so plain
But i could face the world fearlessly
If you would face it here with me
With just our four hands and four eyes
Traffic cops would compromise


Daffodils and roulette wheels and rusty automobiles
Somewhere our things share the same windowsill
Somewhere our hearts exist independent of time
Somewhere we are whole
One body, one body and one mind

>from the air things look so ridiculous
Our fears so small our fight*/hearts*/mall* so vain*
*(our malls so small our fears so frail)
I want to pilot a plane with you
So all our problems look small too
It's just an inch from me to you
Depending on what map you use


81.You're So Small

'i went to school here in michigan at a place
Called interlochen, and, uh, there's a lot of dancers there.
About 60% of the dancers were either anorexic or bulemic.
And i often blamed it on their boyfriends.
So i wrote this about that.
I didn't agree with that, by the way.'

Gonna walk down the street
And seduce every man i meet
Because i'm having a bad day.
I am
Not size six.
My legs are not
Skinny as sticks
And dammit, someone's got to pay.
(that's the power of a woman, ohhhh)

I feel unattractive.
I'm gonna see if it's true.
I'm going to break a heart or maybe two.
I'm gonna put on a sexy red thing
Gonna run very late
I'm gonna pull some strings
Cause my strength is in my
Power over you.
(the power of a woman)

But i'm afraid that i can't satisfy myself
And that my happiness depends on someone else.
I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so small, you're so small, you're so small.
You're so small, i feel fat, you're so small.
You're so small, i don't feel anything, cuz you're so small.


82.Intuition

ladedada

ladedada
ladedada da dum

I'm just a simple girl
In a high tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Miss J's big butt is boss
Kate Moss can't find a job
In a world of post modern fad
What was good now is bad

It's not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

ladedada
ladedada
ladedada da dum

You look at me
But you're not quite sure
Am I it or could you get more?
You learn cool from magazines
You learn love from Charlie Sheen

If you want me let me know
I promise i won't say no

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

You got something that you want me to sell
Sell your sin
Just cash in
You got something that you want me to tell
You'll love me
Wait and see

If you want me
Don't play games
I promise
It won't be in vain
Uh-uh-uh

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

Just follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
