1.1-2-8
They played something
They made something
Brand new a baby blue machine
Brass tacks, duct tape
For the great escape
Packed in there like sardines
Back and forth
East, south, west, north
Shred the atlas burn the map
Often lost and paths
Wake me up i need a nap
They did something
Which meant something
And that got them some attention
Eyes wide
A roller coaster ride
Great pride in this invention
I think they're selling snake oil
At the dog and pony show
In the garden gee
Would you pardon me
And by the way how does it grow
The explanation's unexplainable
Holding onto something
Once dreamt unattainable
The course was never charted
So don't look into the books
The secret's not the recipe
It's got to be the cooks
They made something
They played something
Blood, sweat, and elbow grease
If you can't stand the heat in the kitchen
Get out it will increase
Last train to where？
Hey get out of here
Nothing's measured and nothing's weighed
A dash of honesty in the recipe
That's the first mistake you've made
1, 2 what's in the stew
3, 4 no one's really sure
5, 6 what's in the mix
7, 8 this stuff tastes
2.737／ Shoe Glue
(dicky barrett／joe gittleman／bosstones)
Down the street, around the corner,
Over the bridge, that dirty water,
College campus, mighty minds
A reactor right behind
Passed the candy factory, salvation army, fire station
Through the square, i hate that place up the stairs
Next the doors, they never work i never let that bother me
I hope some worker's not disgruntled
I hope there's something there for me
An old man reads the paper loudly everyday now for a year
Stamp machines and wanted posters here again,
Again i'm here
737 almost everyday
Nice to know that someone hears us
It's good to know somebody's there
Takin the time to say hello
Taking the time to show you care
Write again and thanks again
From the bottom of my heart see you soon and till then
737 is a real big part
737 almost everyday
Shoe glue
What can i do？ a man's not well dressed
If his shoes are a mess rock and roll
I've got a hole
Right in my sole
Let's rock!
It's fucking my walk
And soaking my sock
Who knew？
It's not stopping my step or stepping my stop
We've got it up and we won't let it drop
Beer here,
Don't wanna see clear
I see a point in wrecking the joint
We're here to quench our thirst a bit
But we won't get the worst of it
Turn it up more than a notch
Like a punch to the face or a kick to the crotch
All night never ending benefiting from a bender
If nothing's worrying you that's the key
'cause nothing's worrying me
And nothing's worrying mem
3.Cowboy Coffee
(dicky barrett／joe gittleman)
To put up with the output i don't think about it,
Hold on and hold out or i'd be left out without it
Things better get better i gotta get
Thing's should get good but they haven't yet
While these things keep bringing and bringing me grief
I've got that one something that still brings relief
All these things keep bringing and bringing me grief
I've got that one something that still brings relief
Cowboy coffee and chemical cream ride on ride on my stallion of
green
Midnight shower sleep in the flowers and dream, hurricane,
breakneck speed, rapid fire, dreams
It's not that it's boggin' or cloggin' my head
It's not that i'm swamped buried under near dead
It's just the daily grind to bring the daily bread
I wasn't born rich i'm good looking instead
While these dailys 'dille-dallie' and i'm daily employed
I've got that daily something that's daily enjoyed
While these dailys 'dille-dallie' and i'm daily employed
I've got that daily something that's daily enjoyed
Cowboy coffee and chemical cream ride, ride, ride on my stallion
of green
Just a midnight flower, sleep in the flowers and dream,
hurricane, breakneck speed, rapid fire, dreams
4.Devil's Night Out
Remember that night？ it seems so clear
Now he's back and i'm glad he's here
Three long years, millions of beers
But the devil is back, so girls, dry your tears
In his favorite club, in his favorite seat
Well i saw the devil, wing tip shoes on his feet,
Pork pie hat on his head, he was diggin' the beat.
And the band ripped like demons
When he screamed, 'turn on the heat!'
Well the devil was drinkin' and dancin' up a storm.
The band was so hot, my beer got warm
Just when i thought it would all cool down,
That evil motherfucker screamed 'burn this place down!'
Wouldn't know the devil if he punched them in the face
Couldn't drink a six-pack, never mind a case.
Don't know how to skateboard, that's just a fuckin' crock
Most of all, they got no balls
And don't know how to rock!
5.Doctor D
(dicky barrett／joe gittleman)
Waaahh what are these noises？
We're sending this one out to a beautiful, beautiful human being
Noise, noise, noise from down below
And it's coming from the basement
It's underneath the house now and
It's rockin' the foundation
It's a noise we love to make
And for years we have been making
While doctor d, watches tv his house is fucking shaking
He lets us practice in his place in his place!
He's got a wife with a pretty face pretty face!
Takes vacation, owns property dr.d! dr. dalsimer, doctor d!
In the daytime what's he doin？ upstairs in the attic
He's saving lives from ruin he's sorting through the static.
He puts back together brains？ i guess they're broken
...and i'm not fucking joking
He lets us practice in his place in his place!
He's got a wife with a pretty face pretty face!
Takes vacation, owns property dr.d! dr. dalsimer, doctor d!
Nice. nice. nice, nice, nice, nice neighborhood
And nice place to raise the kids
They're tough things to obtain but dr. d. he did
Worked hard to take it easy worked hard and wasn't lazy
Guitars drums, tones and saxophones he must be fucking crazy
He lets us practice in his place in his place!
He's got a wife with a pretty face pretty face!
Takes vacation, owns property dr.d! dr. dalsimer, doctor d!
Waaaahh what are these noises!？ waaahh what are these noises!？
＊ this song is about the band's former drummer, josh dalsimer's
father.
They used to practice at his house.
6.Doves And Civilans
7.Do Somethin' Crazy
Do something crazy for me again,
Call me up, i need a friend
Lose your mind, just one more time
I wanna see you again.
Hey! hey! hey!...
Please look at me
I haven't been crazy since we were we
And i wanna be, i wanna be, now can't you see？
I wanna be crazy like i used to be.
So do something crazy for me again
And we'll start our crazy love again.
Do something crazy, go out of your head
Say the crazy things that you once said.
Do something crazy, give me a break
Go out of your mind, girl, for heaven's sake.
Do something crazy 'cause i know you can
I wanna see you again.
I know, i know, i know what you can do
I've seen you in action, and i know it's true.
And i was crazy at one time too
But the craziest thing i ever did was losing you (4x)
'hello... no no he's not home right now...
Hello, no bonesy's not here right now
Look i'm waiting for a phone call, just call later？'
Pick up the phone! i'm so goddamn alone
Please name the place and date
Well use the dial, it's been a while
I really just can't wait
Do something crazy come on now
Do something crazy well i want to
Do something crazy (7x) come on
8.Gowwhywuz, Gowwhyam
9.He's Back
(dicky barrett／nate albert／joe gittleman)
When he left, he showed up at my door, different than he was
before
I was scared, and he was way off track i thought he wasn't
coming back
He told me, people were out after him and talked of places that
he'd never been,
On a mission, and sworn to secrecy, different than he used to be
Back, back, and we're glad he's back on track! it's good to have
him back, he's back
Back, back, and we're glad he's back on track! it's good to have
him back, he's back
When he was gone, he slept out on my couch in the daytime he was
always out
I never knew where he went or how his afternoons were spent he
said
He had to slay a dragon, kill a giant, fix a wagon wage a war,
feed the world,
And stamp out sin, in the daytime he was never in
Back, back, and we're glad he's back on track! it's good to have
him back, he's back
Back, back, and we're glad he's back on track! it's good to have
him back, he's back
I'm a freight train baby don't give me no sidetrack, no!
I want your main line baby! climb aboard the eden express!
This train is coming through! this train is bound for glory!
This train, this, train is comig through! this train is bound
for glory!
When he left, he showed up at my door, different than he was
before
I was scared and he was way off track i thought he wasn't coming
back
When he spoke it was tough to tell, he ever left or wasn't well
Lost his balance tripped and fell he came back and we were glad
as hell
When he came back, he showed up at my door, different than he
was before
I was geared 'cause he was back on track it's good to have my
old friend back
Back, back, and we're glad he's back on track! it's good to have
him back, he's back
Back, back, and we're glad he's back on track! it's good to have
him back, he's back
10.Hell Of A Hat
That's a hell of a hat that you're wearing
It goes real well with the earring
Five through the nose, bold and daring
You've got to pardon me if i'm staring
Man, i really dig your shoes
Phat fade and fresh tattoos
Bet the females can't refuse
And if i'm staring please excuse
Sharpest motherfucker in the joint
The other motherfuckers stop and point
The gear you wear seems complete
Why you gotta pack the heat
We question one accessory
Don't think the piece is necessary
We agree you're dressed to kill
But wonder if you will
Hell of a hat you're sporting jack
Diamond cuff links and a sweet tie tack
The pocket watch must've set you back
You're the man, man, you're the mack
The pinstriped number, me oh my, that's rude
And that's a hell of an attitude
You made the scene and set the mood
I'm only staring, cause i'm nervous dude
Sharpest motherfucker, we repeat
No other motherfucker can compete
The clothes you chose, are stylish son
Why you gotta wear the gun
We question one accessory
Don't think the piece is necessary
We agree you're dressed to kill
But wonder if you will
11.Holy Smoke
(dicky barrett／joe gittleman／nate albert／dennis
brockenborough／bosstones)
You made your bed, that's where you lie
No pearly gates when you die
We tried to teach, you didn't learn
You're going down, you're gonna burn
Fast at passing judgement and your quick to cast a stone
Hypocrite taking shit, leave me alone
Thump the book and twist the word
You're setting sinners straight
Point your finger, wag your tongue
Then pass around the plate
I've made my bed that's where i'll lie,
Won't see the gates when i die
And i've been told i'll never learn,
I'm going down i'm gonna
Screaming demons all hell broke loose
And other dark remarks
You say that's satan's waiting for me
But i don't give a fuck
If words and music tick you off
Then you're the one who's sick
But i think it fucking followers that really make you tick
As far as i can tell i'm going to hell
As far as i can see, you're coming with me
You made your bed that's where you'll lie
No pearly gates when you die
We tried to teach, you didn't learn
You're going down, you're gonna burn
Holy smoke! is this a joke？
I mean man you're on the move,
Shut 'em up and shut 'em down
If you don't approve
Cuss and curse and stuff your purse
And tell me where i'm goin'
Holy cow, man, don't stop now, man,
Your bank account is growin'
You made you're bed that's where you'll lie
No pearly gates when you die
We tried to teach, you didn't learn
You're going down, you're gonna burn
You made you're bed that's where you'll lie
Thanks god i've got a place to sleep
No pearly gates when you die,
Why should i worry now or cry
You know i'm not concerned
You're going down, you're gonna burn
12.Hope I Never Lose My Wallet
Never lose my wallet
It would put me in a spot
Never lose my sense
At least how much i've got
Never lose my family
Never lose my friends
Never lose my youth
I hope it never ends
Hope i never lose my wallet
And hell i hope to hell
And only time will tell
I hope i never lose my mind
Or lose myself somewhere
Not too far from here
That nobody can find
Never lose my hair
I would hate to go without
Never lose direction
And wander all about
Never lose my courage
Never lose my hope
Never lose my girl
It would make it hard to cope
Hope i never lose my wallet
And last of all
Not least of all
I hope i never lose my mind
Or lose myself somewhere
Not too far from here
That nobody can find
Hope i never lose my wallet...
13.I'll Drink To That
(dicky barrett／joe gittleman)
Standing stiff on a cliff and i'm not gonna leap,
Checked out the water but it's much too deep
No going back there's no turning around,
So i'll stay here and wait god i hope that i'm found
Went up to the attic to see what to keep
Threw out the useless and now it's bone-dry,
But i still couldn't die and couldn't figure out why
No way, no how, no what？ what now？
The place is packed i needed that
The bottles cracked i'm glad for that
A good nights rest？ forget about that
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that
The place is packed i needed that
The bottles cracked i'm glad for that
A good nights rest？ forget about that
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that
The attic was empty and my eyes were shut,
I had to do soemthing but i didn't know what
The darkness was nice but it wasn't enough,
The clock wasn't stopping so i had to get tough
Get tough, get up, get out, get tough!
The place is packed i needed that
The bottles cracked i'm glad for that
A good nights rest？ forget about that
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that
The place is packed i needed that
The bottles cracked i'm glad for that
A good nights rest？ forget about that
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that
Got up and out and found out it was raining,
The car lived then died but i wasn't complaining
Hell bent for action and it had to be out there,
I walked then i ran hoping something was somewhere
Before too long it didn't take long,
This place came along and i ended up here
The place is packed i needed that the bottles cracked
I'm glad for that a good nights rest？ forget about that
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that
The place is packed i needed that the bottles cracked
I'm glad for that a good nights rest？ forget about that
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that
14.Kinder Words
No time now for losing tempers
Or filling up with rage or anger
Flying off the handle could be detrimental
Calmer hands are called for here
A breath or two might be applied
We'll count to ten and then decide
A rash decision - crash collision
Damage done beyond repair
Kinder words here we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop
Kinder words here we could choose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
The temperature we need that to drop
A wrong move now might spell disaster
A selfish one might spell it faster
Let's relax, review the facts
For all involved that might be best
A world of difference might be made
If our next move could be delayed
We'll sort it out and we'll talk about
Just what it was that caused this mess
Kinder words here we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, that's the worst thing we could do
Kinder words here we could choose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
Watch what we say, don't walk away, we'll see it through
Kinder words here we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop
Kinder words here we could choose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
The temperature we need that to drop
15.Let's Face It
It's so hard to face
That in this day and age
Somebody's race
Could trigger somebody's rage
And somebody's preference
Can drive some total stranger
To make somebody, somehow
Feel the wrath of their anger
Why were we put here？
What for？ we're unsure
We sure weren't put here to hate
Be racist, be sexist
Be bigots, be sure
We won't stand for your hate
Why so cut and dry
A simple concept missed
Give tolerance a try
This confusion still exists ignorant mongers
No area's gray
Couldn't be any wronger in this age and day
Why were we put here？
What for？ we're unsure
We sure weren't put here to hate
Be racist, be sexist
Be bigots, be sure
We won't stand for your hate
Now how far have we come？
How come there still are come
Who won't let come
March to the beat of a different drum
To face it, it's so hard
You must be on your guard
It's not okay
And you're not free to be a different way
Let's try to erase it, it's time that we face it
If we don't, then who will？ shame on us
Let's try to erase it, it's time that we face it
Let's face it, the time is upon us
16.Lights Out
(original song by angry samoans)
Nothing more you can leave behind.
So forget about seeing, and get it into your mind.
Whole thing is better when the world gets black.
Grab a fork, you make your first attack.
Lights out! poke, poke, poke your eyes out! lights out!
Put a pen in your hand and poke your eyes out.
I can't see too well what's it all about？
I don't know man, did you poke your eyes out？
First thing, i did it today, time to get hip to the lights out
way.
Lights out! poke, poke, poke your eyes out lights out!
Put yourself on the floor, that's what it's all about.
If you poke too far, you'll reach the front of your brain.
A fork in your mind could drive you insane.
Don't worry about it, just let it rip- donate your eyeballs to
the lights out trip.
Light's out! put a pen in your hand, poke your eyes out. lights
out!
Poke, poke, poke your eyes out! lights out!
Put an ax in your hand and poke your eyes out. lights out!
17.Noise Brigade
Without any training
It's pouring,
It's raining
Training or a trade
Hey, you bet i'm afraid
Unequipped with a skill
But i'm thrilled with the thrill
Underskilled, unprepared
Hey, who wouldn't be scared
Bring on the obstacles
And burn me a bridge
I'm not sure, should i call
This my range or a ridge？
There ain't none too high
If i'm up for the climb
I'll go zero to sixty
And stop on a dime
A dime for a dozen
If that's what you're after
A moment of silence
A lifetime of laughter
On the brighter side
And on a happier note
The noise, well it's just love
That gets caught in my throat
The end of the line's
Not the end of a rope just a salesman
Selling a bucket of hope
When the bucket gets kicked
And my chips are all cashed
My intentions, conventions
Are finally smashed
18.Rascal King
From the album let's face it
Well he was fueled by a lack
Drew inspiration from a need
So many problems to crack
And mouths to feed
Crooked was the path
And brazen was the walk
A cocky swagger, up the ladder
And could he ever talk
The last hurrah？
Nah! i'd do it again
The rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
The love of god
And constant contradictions
With just a smile, wink or nod
What's stranger fact or fiction？
And never ceasing to amaze
On a regular basis
First hand into his pocket
Or first fist into the faces
The last hurrah？
Nah! i'd do it again
The rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
A legendary character
When？
Only then
Where？
Only there
A hero or a hooligan？
Well, that part's never clear
Pride or shame, it's all the same
Who's innocent or who's to blame？
Politics or just a game？
Well in the end they knew his name
The last hurrah？ nah! i'd do it again
The rascal king behind the bars
Or the one in front of them
19.Royal Oil
From the album let's face it
Royal oil, come on bubble and boil
Stabs like dagger, make you stagger
On the hot tin foil
Mind your mind or it will surely spoil
Then you sleep down in the soil
Nothing comes from nothing, come on royal oil
When you smoke or poke the poison
You lose the chance to be tomorrow
Look out on the horizon
And see the sadness, the pain and the sorrow
I can't say enough about the stuff
Or what it has in store
When you smoke or poke the poison
You won't be anymore
Royal oil, come on bubble and boil
Stabs like dagger, make you stagger
On the hot tin foil
Mind your mind or it will surely spoil
Then you sleep down in the soil
Nothing comes from nothing, come on royal oil
Royal oil has cut many down to size
Spikes gonna strike the weak and strong alike
And then forever, and ever close those eyes
Make up your mind to keep your mind up
And to your life be loyal
Nothing comes from nothing, come on royal oil
Royal oil, big trouble brewing
Long, lonely road, long road to ruin
Wrong path to take, great big mistake
And then you sleep down in the soil
Nothing comes from nothing, come on royal oil
20.Someday I Suppose
(nate albert／dicky barrett／joe gittleman／bosstones)
There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When i can't rememeber
It irritates me
Could be i can't remember
Could be i choose to not,
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot
There was a girl and i don't know her name either
She gave me love and i swore i'd never leave her
If i did i'd come back someday and find her
Maybe i will i should write down a reminder
One day! one day who knows
Someday i suppose
There was a verse that i was gonna write i haven't yet
But there's still a chance i might an open book
That i still want to close i'll find the time
Someday i suppose a place and time,
I wanna be and spend a storyline
That's happy in the end plans are made
With promises so certainly uncertain
I can't wait to set things straight
Before they close the curtain
One day! one day who knows
Someday i suppose
The more i sort things out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think i'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more i try to change it's course
The more off course it goes
Of course i'll reach my destination someday i suppose
Sort it out,
Get distorted
One day who knows
Hide behind,
Someday i suppose
21.The Impression That I Get
From the album let's face it
Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse
I've never had to knock on wood
But i know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And i'm glad i haven't yet
Because i'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that i get
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die
You've got to rise above the rest
I've never had to knock on wood
But i know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And i'm glad i haven't yet
Because i'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that i get
I'm not a coward,
I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if i was,
I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go
I might be a cowards,
I'm afraid of what i might find out
I've never had to knock on wood
But i know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And i'm glad i haven't yet
Because i'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that i get
22.Where'd You Go？
Hello？
Checked the clock when i got home
And realized i was alone
Sat for hours by the window
Wonderin' where did you go？
Couldn't eat or sleep at all
Took the pictures off the wall
Paced the place as time moves slow
And i'm wondering where did you go？
Where'd you go？ where'd you go？
I wanna know
Lit a cigarette i couldn't smoke
Wound the clock until it broke
Went to bed then took a shower
Stared at tv for an hour
Did the dishes, made the bed
Read a book i've never read
Any minute you will show
And i'm wondering where did you go？
Where'd you go？ where'd you go？
I wanna know
Where did you go？(4x)
I opened the fridge, i opened a beer
And played a tape i couldn't hear
Emptiness began to grow
And i'm wondering where did you go？
Watched the sun come up from the back stairs
Thought about the last few years
I lost control, i screamed, i cried
I punched a pole and went inside
Packed my things called a friend
Wished this emptiness would end
Wrote a note then tore it up
Poured the beer into a cup
Sat on the couch, drank it slow
Wondering where did you go？
I realized i couldn't stay
Grabbed my things and i went away
Where'd you go？ where'd you go？
I wanna know!
