1.Summer Rains
When the ices melt
I admit I felt
A lifting in my heart
Every land becomes an island
Everywhere a paradise
Oh my, it's so divine
There's no more snow at Christmas time
Just summer rains
So I hung up my hat, scarf and coat
Put on my birthday suit
Even though it is December
It feels like it's the month of June
When I get up, I get up and go
Surfing with the girls
They are all from California
Finer than an oyster's pearl
Oh what a place to be
I pluck a mango from a tree
As the summer rains
Are falling from the sky
When the ices melt I began to sing
A joyful melody
An orchestra of ukuleles
Strumming in the sweetest key
The tail of a wintery ghost
Is lost in an island breeze
I'm paddling into the sunset
Leave behind my memories
Oh, it's begun
What's been done can't be undone
Once summer reigns
I'm dancing with the sea
Water washing over me
As the summer rains
Are falling from the sky
Summer rains
Are falling from the sky
2.When's She Coming Home
Ho-hum
The neighbors upstairs just got home,
And they've got the TV set on.
A voice I mistake for her is leading me on.
Stare up at the clock, it don't move.
Like some broken heart with no reason to beat.
When's she coming home？
When's she coming home？
Somebody's tea is getting cold.
The faucet makes way too much noise.
Is she staying out late with boys？
What if she never comes home？
The night could last forever.
If she never comes home, what will I do？
When's she coming home？
When's she coming home？
I -- I couldn't sleep at all last night.
I'm tossing and turning like some old ghost is trying to get my
goat.
Afraid of the time on my hands,
So much I can do, but I can't.
Without her, I don't have a plan.
What if she never comes home？
The night could last forever.
If she never comes home, what will I do？
What will I do？
When's she coming home？
When's she coming home？
3.Skinny Bones
I've always listened to my critics
Ever since the age of five
They called me Skinny Bones and a tall drink of water
I've grown so tired of hearing that Jive
Thrown your share of sticks and stones dear
But you never broke my heart in two
You broke it into several thousand little pieces
One by one gonna pick'em up until my heart is true
Won't let it make me sad
Won't let it make me feel bad
I know just the thing to tell myself
You shake that thing Skinny Bones
You gotta work with what you got
You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones
To hell with what you're not
You got to shake rattle and roll your bones
You shake that thing Skinny Bones
You gotta work with what you got
You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones
To hell with what you're not
You got to shake that thing
You said I was an ugly duckling
But I am rubber you are glue
I'm gonna fluff my feathers into your tar, honey
How does it feel coming back to you
Thrown the weight off of my shoulders
Now I'm free to stand up straight
So you can eat your heart out, eat your heart out
There's a party going on
It's called like dear, I must be gone
I'd wait for you but you take too long
And I'm already late
Won't let it make me sad
Won't let it make me feel bad
I know just the thing to tell myself
You shake that thing Skinny Bones
You gotta work with what you got
You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones
To hell with what you're not
You got to shake rattle and roll your bones
You gotta shake that thing Skinny Bones
You gotta work with what you got
You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones
To hell with what you're not
You got to shake that thing
4.What Happened To The Radio
What happened to the radio
It wasn't so long ago that I was singing along
Listen for a while to songs that would make me smile
What happened to the radio, radio
It had so much to say but now the damn thing won't play
I can't tell if it's broke or if it's just blowing smoke
So now I'm leading the world down a yellow brick road
We didn't pave it
It isn't made out of glitter or gold
The emperor isn't wearing no clothes
Well I don't get this station
My interest is fading I want something new
You can change the dial but it's all the same
What happened to the radio, radio
It used to play songs to you and me it belonged
Now with so much white noise
It's just a toy for the boys
So now I'm leading the world down a yellow brick road
We didn't pave it
It isn't made out of glitter or gold
The emperor isn't wearing no clothes
Well I don't get this station
My interest is fading
I don't get this station
My interest is fading
I don't get this station
My interest is fading
I don't get this station
My interest is fading...
5.The Next Best Thing
Here today
Gone tomorrow
Thinking ahead to the next best thing
Living against the grain of the here and now
We never learn
We never let ourselves
Why don't we travel with the wind
And pretend that the branches are waving
Why don't we let ourselves unwind
'Til our hearts begin to sing
Like the kite at the end of its string
We're not sure what this is or why it's here
But we're glad it is
Turn your back and sure enough that thing is gone
For good
Why don't we travel with the wind
And pretend that the branches are waving
Why don't we let ourselves unwind
'Til our hearts begin to sing
Like the kite at the end of its string
6.Because We Do
As the world starts to fade
I'll turn on the Rose Parade
Watch my troubles float away as the petals fly
I could march to my own drum
But I'm twiddling my thumbs
And we like it because we do
At school I learn to pray
And to keep my thoughts at bay
Follow leaders, follow orders
Follow other people's dreams
This is where it all began
Here I sit when I should stand
And we like it because we do
And we like it because we do
The greatest prize to behold
It is life it can't be sold
But my eyes are set on gold
They mock us when they sing
So we trade them for a ring
And we like it because we do
And we like it because we do
And we like it because we do
7.Interlude For Ten Strings
(Instrumental)
8.I Stole Your Wishes
On your birthday
Guess who blew the candles out
While you were sleeping
I plucked a lash from your brow
It wasn't mine for the taking
But I took it just the same
For I stole your wishes darling
In the garden
I picked you a fragrant rose
To distract you for on the ground grew a four-leaf clove
I bent down and looked over
And wished with all my heart
I stole your wishes
I wished for all your kisses
I stole your wishes darling
We went dancing underneath the evening sky
I spied a falling star
But I never let it catch your eye
I didn't ask for a miracle
I didn't ask for the moon
No I, I stole your wishes
I wished for all your kisses
I stole your wishes
And they all came true
9.All Over You
How many wasted days
Wasted nights on you
I can't even count that high
Haven't I tried to
I gave myself a second chance
A chance to let you go
Well it's simply
It's simply not true
When I say
Oh I'm over all over I'm over
I'm all over you
Oh I'm over all over I'm over
I'm all over you
Every time I see your smile
It gives me a chill
I'm waiting for that cold embrace
To warm me still
To me you're everything except for mine
It's simply, it's simply not true
When I say
Oh I'm over all over I'm over
I'm all over you
Oh I'm over all over I'm over
I'm all over you
There will be another one
To come along I'm sure
They will be a perfect match
A better fit of course
They won't live up to you in my eyes
Well it's simply
It's simply not true
It's simply
It's simply not true
When I say
Oh I'm over all over I'm over
I'm all over you
Oh I'm over all over I'm over
I'm all over you
Oh I'm over all over I'm over I'm over I'm over
I'm all over you
10.Feel From The Outside In
The whole world's afraid
It scares me
Everyone seems to be trying
So hard trying too hard trying to fit
Does it threaten you that I am happy
Does it lighten your heart if I'm sad
Does it pain you to see why I'm laughing
You can't figure me out so I'm damned
I just feel from the outside in
Feel from the outside in
It don't hurt much
It don't hurt much at all
So what if we are different
People act ashamed
What if we are different
People hide away
Does it threaten you that I am happy
Does it lighten your heart if I'm sad
Does it pain you to see why I'm laughing
You can't figure me out so I'm damned
I just feel from the outside in
Feel from the outside in
It don't hurt much
It don't hurt much at all
What if we are different
People act ashamed
What if we are different
People hide away
11.The Weeds Are Winning
Chopped off the tops of the trees
The living rooms are pleased with the results
Strange birds strange birds are we
The race with some missing nuts and bolts
The Humans, the Champions
The winners of the races with the rats
But the rats are winning
The weeds are winning
The more we see, the more we seem to abuse it
The next thing look it's falling apart
We over used it
In a perfect world, our greatest work
Would not be new mistakes
But we're practiced making perfect blunders
We can't escape
Winning the races with the rats
Weeds are covering my spats
Stuck tap dancing in one place
We weren't meant to go this pace
Have we forgot the ancient dance
We're tied together in a webbed romance
The world's forever changed
Thanks to us
We're the smarter of the breeds, aren't we
We have learned to sew the seeds
Without getting our hands dirty
Read our lips and mind our fists
We speak in contradiction
Go and push me aside after all who am I
To muddle with tradition
Winning the races with the rats
Weeds are covering my spats
Stuck tap dancing in one place
We weren't meant to go this pace
Have we forgot the ancient dance
We're tied together in a webbed romance
The world's forever changed
Thanks to us
12.Sugar And Spice
I never want to marry or to die
I just want to build a kite and fly it in the sky
I only live in castles made of sand
I don't care for many things untouched by human hand
These are the dreams of little girls
Who don't want to grow up
Sugar and spice, all things nice
So they say we're made of
Is that true, is that true
I'll put on my pretty face, tuck away my blues
All dressed up nowhere to go
Someone stole my shoes
These are the dreams of different times
They？re not mine they're made up
I won't act like a lady as I'm told
I will have adventures
I'll be scarred and bold
Will I be a sailor off to foreign lands
Will I fly an airplane cross the desert sands
These are the dreams of little girls
Who don't want to grow up
Sugar and spice all things nice
So they say we're made of
Is that true, is that true
