2.What Time Is It?


3.Little Miss Can t Be Wrong


4.Forty Or Fifty

Forty or fifty horses
Lying in a lot.
Red raincoats and rifles,
An epidemic has been stopped.
Scientist speaks what are you
Wondering about?
He got where he is by turning
Lab mice inside out.

The things we do
And have to do
The things i do for you
And what you do for me too
The 'yeah, but i...'
And any other excuse
And if you take it for given
Then what's the use

All his possessions
Around him in his house,
Lying beside him his
Companion and his spouse.
And in the morning
He dress and go to hell.
All activated by
A little timer bell.


5.Refrigerator Car

Your heart is a refrigerator car
It's cold and it never waits
Frozen breath and frostbite
Stacked, unopen crates

You never loved your frozen freight
Perishables and bloodless meat
You rolling snowball soul of sleet
You never wait....

You roll across desert
And clack across the sand
Though snakes may fry outside
Flowers crumble petrified in your hand
Your heart's a paid-off porter
You lied to spare your soul
With one are you bow your brains out
With the other you dig the hole

You never loved your frozen freight......

Grey ice in your hinges
Sliding doors shut frozen locked
Airtight every tiny hole
With hard white putty blocked

You never loved your frozen freight.....


6.More Than She Knows

I know she got everything she wants
I know she got everything she needs
I know she needs me more than she knows

I know she got everything she wants
I know she got everything she needs
I know she needs me more than she knows

She come on so sweet and kind
I wonder if i'm on her mind
She always turns away
I know i'll get her...one of these days...

I know she got everything she wants
I know she got everything she needs
I know she needs me more than she knows


7.Two Princes

8.Off My Line

I've been thinking lately
How to get you off my line
Don't seem all that easy but it
Feels alright
I've gotten rid of expectations
That i used to have
And we don't get along and it really ain't so bad

Somewhere in between the blue & the red
'this is temporary,' is all she said
Someday things may be a little better than before
All these mysteries and they're knocking at my door

Alone in my room
I lay awake and dream
I'm sleeping half awake i got to
Try to explain
That i don't need your love and it
Means this much to me
I don't need your love woman won't you see

Somewhere in between the blue & the red
'this is temporary,' is all she said
Someday things may be a little better than before
All these mysteries and they're knocking at my door

She must not realize
What this means to me
I figured out her disguise
Hey, mama, i'm not dreaming
(she's way off reality)

I've been thinking lately
How to get you off my line
Don't seem all that easy but it
Feels alright
I've gotten rid of expectations
That i used to have
And we don't get along and it really ain't so bad

[on the lyric sheet, mysteries is crossed out and memories
Has replaced it. but i have never heard him saymemories.]

10.Shinbone Alley/Hard To Exist


11.Hard To Exist(B-side)


12.Jimmy Olsen's Blues


13.Can t Say No


14.Hard To Exist

You know how i tend to feel when nothing's happening
Like some big old bird so fat that he just can't fly
Far be it for me to be overreacting
My body hurts like hell and all i can do is wonder why

Like a man in prison, i'm occupied with busting out
I'm in no position said what are these walking blues about?

Hey mary come play with me please forget your lessons
Pete's off with captain hook and with cutlasses they play
I got a feeling you and me get along fine
Down on the beach in the fresh air with a jug of wine

Like a man in prison i occupied with busting out....

Aww yeah, i claim to be infected
Aww yeah point me in the right direction
The situation it's got the best of me
I gotta go on, you know, i gotta be strong
But it's hard to exist......


15.At This Hour

Here he come walking down the street
Got them funky ragged things on his feet
He got half a busted moon in his smile
Now i know he's walked that long and lonely mile

He's got the waistcoat made of sad, sad, sack
He see a red door and he want to paint it black
He's got a vote for you now if you dare
To not pretend that he's not there

Yeah, he coming down on you
Yeah, what'cha you gonna do?
Your the only one walking down the street
He's the only one that you're likely to meet
At this hour baby,

You're so used to living in luxury
Greed's made you blind and you just can't see
So many people in the world today
Who won't ever have things their own way

You live protected, respected, inside the law,
You're sunny-side-up, he's wearing his yolk raw
You say you never took nothing he'd refuse,
He's living off the crap, man, that you can't use

17.Big Fat Funky Booty

My baby's nice, she's so polite.
She says 'please? when she ask me
Stay the night
She's around the house, she love me so.
She pickin' up a little bit of my
Rising, rising dough.
Good lordy god, my gosh all mighty,
Her booty fine, and it's trimmed so tidy,
Horseradish, mama, just a smidge,
Spend a whole lotta time peekin' into
Her big old kitchen fridge.

Gotta love it, it's my duty
She gotta big fat funky booty,
Not above it, makes me moody
Whole mess of big fat funky booty

Waoh! sweet sugar plum
I'm crippled, blind, a little deaf and dumb.
It wonderful, could i get a little more?
'cause it's about as wide as my big old garage door.
We e in bed and it late at night, she put her
Arms around me and she hold me tight
But i say, o baby, no baby, no,
But i sure could use a bit of your funky booty though.?

21.House

This is my house where i hang around
As soon as i get up, i start to get down
You don need a place to stay
Our house is any old place we play

This is my house if you don like it
Just get outta
Get outta
Get outta

Came up so fast gave me the bends
Now i staring into a camera lens
From rags to riches and back again
But this is my house and i say when

This is my house.....

This is my house you know that final
It made of plastic, magnetic tape and vinyl
This is my house now doncha know
We move in every time you turn on your radio

This is my house....

23.Refrigerator Car

Your heart is a refrigerator car
It's cold and it never waits
Frozen breath and frostbite
Stacked, unopen crates

You never loved your frozen freight
Perishables and bloodless meat
You rolling snowball soul of sleet
You never wait....

You roll across desert
And clack across the sand
Though snakes may fry outside
Flowers crumble petrified in your hand
Your heart's a paid-off porter
You lied to spare your soul
With one are you bow your brains out
With the other you dig the hole

You never loved your frozen freight......

Grey ice in your hinges
Sliding doors shut frozen locked
Airtight every tiny hole
With hard white putty blocked

You never loved your frozen freight.....


24.Rosetta Stone

Take the lowest common denominator,
The tiniest grain of sand.
Like the first digit of our fingers
Points back to the whole hand.

Follow the spear flight
Hurled with any lateral
Throw it on the clifftop
Weaves over the battle
Pill of wax descending the candle
Late at night,
You'd feel a rise at this mantle

The catalyst or the detonator
The place where it all again
The bottom floor of the elevator,
The grandfather of the middleman.

Follow the spear flight
Hurled with any lateral
Throw it on the clifftop
Weaves over the battle
Pill of wax descending the candle
Late at night,
You'd feel a rise at this mantle

Waxing givers
Slip between the sheets of minds.
Rosetta stone
Like the skeleton
Reassembled bone by bone by bone by bone

Follow the spear flight
Hurled with any lateral
Throw it on the clifftop
Weaves over the battle
Pill of wax descending the candle
Late at night,
You'd feel a rise at this mantle


25.Freeway Of The Plains

You said the price was final,
But you're willing to haggle
I fold my arms and wait for you,
But you treat me like the rabble.

'cause i thought it was love, baby,
When i kissed you in the kitchen,
It wasn't no dove, just a white pigeon.
There's a hole in my pocket,
And there's a brand new ruby charm by your silver locket.

Kicked in the ass and thinking
Just to never do correction,
And when it comes to the gadgets, baby,
I hope i made the right selection.

'cause i thought it was love, baby,
When i kissed you in the kitchen,
It wasn't no dove, darlin', just a white pigeon.
There's a hole in my pocket,
And there's a brand new ruby charm by your silver locket.

Atlas shrugged here on planet claire,
With his lead umbrella for the acid rain.
He put the earth down, and stuck out his thumb,
And he hitched a ride out on the freeway of the plains.

Won't you bury my body
By the broken dam of reason,
And when you chisel my epitaph,
Leave out the part about the treason.

'cause i thought it was love, baby,
When i kissed you in the kitchen,
It wasn't no dove, just a white pigeon.
There's a hole in my pocket,
And there's a brand new ruby charm by your silver locket.
