1.Break Me
Lyricist:Evan Dando
Speak so softly and lowly like you want me to hear
And it just shows to go me, no need to speak clear
You're away on a movie and I want you to be
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be
You're away on a painting and I want you to be
And it just ain't worth waiting for what I don't want to see
You're away on a painting and it don't bother me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Come on baby, say you don't hate me
Grape leaf, stay fair, save me, startin' all over
Heather clover, come over rover, break me
Break me, break me
Speak so softly and lowly like you want me to hear
2.If I Could Talk I'd Tell You
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Eugene Kelley
Half past nine, quarter to ten
Ten fifteen and we're comin' around again
Hold off are we going soft?
Flushed my Zoloft and we're comin' around again
Found out and I almost drowned
Walked back down and we're comin' around again
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I would smile I'll let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
If I could talk I'd tell you
When I could smile I'll let you know
If I could talk I'd tell you
Khmer Rhouge, genocide qua
Your place or Mein Kempf now I'm givin' the dog a bone
Slight hunch without the vaguest clue
To keep the blood balanced now we're comin' around again
Half past nine, quarter two
Ten fifteen and we're comin' around again
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'll let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
If I could talk I'd tell you
When I could smile I'll let you know
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'll let you know
(If I could talk I'd tell you)
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
If I could talk I'd tell you
When I could smile I'll let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
3.Hospital
Lyricist:Evan Dando
There's a disease going 'round the hospital
Green, green leaves falling from the trees
There's a disease going 'round the hospital
Green, green leaves falling from the trees
You gotta run away
You gotta spin a web
You gotta stay up late
You gotta stay in bed
There's a disease going 'round the hospital
Green, green leaves falling from the trees
There's a disease going 'round the hospital
Green, green leaves falling from the trees
You gotta run away
You gotta spin a web
You gotta stay up late
You gotta stay in bed
4.The Outdoor Type
Lyricist:Tom Morgan
Always had a roof above me, always paid the rent
No I've never set foot inside a tent
I couldn't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never slept out underneath the stars
The closest that I came to that was one time my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type
Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag, let alone a mountain bike
I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if somethings on TV and it's never shown again
It's just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type
Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type
5.Something's Missing
Lyricist:Evan Dando
It's no trick to decide on your own
You feel it when you feel fine later on
A shower you can't depend on at all
It's too hot then it's too cold then it's warm
Something's missing
Something's missing
Something's missing
Something's missing from my life
Something's missing from my life
The things I don't multiply and divide when
I just can't decide
Been here before it's gonna come back again
Been here before it's gonna come back my friend
Something's missing
Something's missing
Something's missing
Something's missing from my life
I ain't quiet deep inside
I'm not even on my side
Something's missing from my life
There's nowhere I really wanted to stay and
Nothing really makes it okay
Nothing really makes it okay
There's nowhere I really wanted to stay
Something's missing
Something's missing
Something's missing
6.Confetti
Lyricist:Evan Dando
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
The story's getting closer to the end
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
He'd rather be alone than pretend
She just wanted him to love her but he didn't
He took to the woods and wandered in it
Walked along and on until they couldn't
Told himself to tell her that he wouldn't
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
The story's getting closer to the end
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
He'd rather be alone than pretend
She wanted him to love her but he didn't
He took to the woods and wandered in it
Walked along and until his legs couldn't
Told himself to tell her that he wouldn't
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
(Kinda shoulda sorta)
The story's getting closer to the end
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
(Kinda shoulda sorta)
He'd rather be alone than pretend
(Aye oh)
Just he kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
Story's getting closer to the end
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
He'd rather be alone than pretend
7.It's a Shame About Ray
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
I've never been too good with names
The cellar door was open I could never stay away
I know it's probably not my place
It's either or I'm hoping for a simple way of saying
It's a shame about Ray
In the stone under the dust his name is still engraved
Some things need to go away
It's a shame about Ray
If I make it through today
I'll know tomorrow not to ease my feelings out on display
I'll put the cobwebs back in place
I've never been too good with names but I remember faces
It's a shame about Ray
In the stone under the dust his name is still engraved
Some things need to go away
It's a shame about Ray
8.Rudderless
Lyricist:Evan Dando
Waiting for somethin' to break
Left my heart out to bake
Nothing there in my glass
Wasn't air meant to last
Hope in my past
Hope in my past
Hope in my past
All the way down to the lake
(Found the lake was wet)
How much more could I take
(Better yet)
Walked back home to my place
(Tired of getting high)
Guess, I don't wanna die
Hope in my past
Hope in my past
Hope in my past
Hope in my past
Hope in my past
Hope in my past
Waiting for somethin' to break
Left my heart out to bake
Slipped my mind that I could use my brain
I'll stay up all night and crash on the plane
Ship without a rudder's
Like a ship without a rudder's
Like a ship without a rudder
Ship without a rudder's
Like a ship without a rudder's
Like a ship without a rudder's
Like a ship without a rudder's
...
9.The Turnpike Down
Lyricist:Evan Dando
I'm lost in the see through
Pane always needs a bath
Between a want and a need to
Butterscotch street lamps mark my path
My country was of thee
Now why'd you have to leave
How'd this come to have to pass?
Butterscotch street lamps mark my path
Mark my path, mark my path down
Mark my path, mark my path down
Mark my path, mark my path down
Mark my path, mark my path down
I'm lost in the see through
Pane always wants a wash
Between a want and a need to
Butterscotch street lamps mark my path
Mark my path, mark my path down
Mark my path, mark my path down
10.Bit Part
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
I just want a bit part in your life
I just want a bit part in your life
I want a bit part in your life
A walk-on would be fine
I just want a bit part in your life
(A bit part in your life)
I want a bit part in your life
Rehearsing all the time
I just want a bit part in your life
(A bit part in your life)
Little more than a cameo
Nothing traumatic when I go
I want a bit part in your life
A walk-on would be fine
I just want a bit part in your life
(A bit part in your life)
I want a bit part in your life
Rehearsing all the time
I just want a bit part in your life
(A bit part in your life)
Little more than a stand-in
I won't need reprimanding
11.My Drug Buddy
Lyricist:Evan Dando
She's coming over, we'll go out walking
Make a call on the way
She's in the phone booth now, I'm looking in
There comes a smile on her face
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday, yeah
I'm too much with myself, I wanna be someone else
I'm too much with myself, I wanna be someone else
I'm too much with myself, I wanna be someone else
So we take off out Fiona's door, walk until it's light outside
Like before when you were on the phone
We have to laugh to look at each other
We have to laugh 'cause we're not alone
As the cars fly up King Street
It's enough to startle us
It's enough to startle us
I love, my drug buddy
My drug, my drug buddy
I love, my drug buddy
My drug, my drug buddy
12.Baby's Home
Lyricist:Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
My indecision is causing me pain
It's hard to conceal it and it's harder to name
But before I leave for work here's some words that might hurt
But it's something that I have to say
Think about me when he calls around three
The time that you know I'm not at home
All that I ask is our promises last
'Til the time I can stand on my own
When a horse breaks a leg then it's best to shoot it
'Cause it's quick and it eases the pain
When a marriage is dying tell me who does the firing
And who is to say who's to blame
Think about me when he calls around three
The time that you know I'm not at home
All that I ask is our promises last
'Til the time I can stand on my own
You may think I went to work but I took the day off
And I watched him as his car pulled in the drive
And although my heart's hurtin', my shotgun is workin'
And it packs one hell of a surprise
Think about me when he calls around three
'Cause guess what, your baby's home
I'll cut you in half with a double shot blast
And I'll pound on his head with a stone
'Til I think I can stand on my own
13.Dawn Can't Decide
Lyricist:Nic Dalton, Evan Dando, Tom Morgan
Dawn can't decide if there should be more of this porch
She's sick of being inside, he reads the signs
And now they're making out in Lancaster, just to pass the time
Curtis C called, left a message in Japanese
Dawn returned the call, reviewed the newest Taang release
Joe shoulda known that the Long Island Lolita would be the cause
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
And you strike, strike the right chord
The right chord in me, strike the right chord
Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
No paperwork
Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah
Dawn can't decide
Dawn can't decide
14.Ride With Me (Acoustic)
Lyricist:Evan Dando
That pencil smell
Reminds me of school
The clock on the wall
I can no longer fool
Time to get in my car
Been so dull, tired and tight
Time to trust these old tires
Time to not say goodnight
Jesus rides with me
His will is plain to feel
Come on, you can be
Got yourself to steal
He's everywhere
Sends me straight across the plain
He's in your hair
He'll forgive me, my pain
You're my girl, don't you show it
To know, you know is to know it
When you can't trust yourself
Baby, trust someone else
Jesus rides with me
His will, plain to feel
Come on, you can be
Got yourself to steal
You're my girl, don't you show it
To know, you know is to know it
When you can't trust yourself
Baby, trust someone else
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me
15.Alison's Starting to Happen
Lyricist:Evan Dando
She'd shake it up
It was hard to make out now it's plain to see
I couldn't cook to save myself found my life a recipe
I never looked at her this way before, but now she's all I see
Alison's starting to happen, Alison's starting to happen
Alison's starting to happen to me
It's so mesmerizing can't describe it all that inside, hey
No one's heard her last name
I ain't asked so who am I to blame
An earthquake started boiling underneath my feet today
Alison's starting to happen, Alison's starting to happen
Alison's starting to happen to me
Hey, this world is Topsy turvy and, and it is mine to eat
She's a pebble in my mouth and, and underneath my feet
She's the puzzle piece behind the couch that made the sky
complete
Alison's starting to happen, Alison's starting to happen
Alison's starting to happen, Alison's starting to happen
Alison's getting her tit pierced, Alison's growing a mow hawk
Alison's starting to happen to me
16.Kitchen
Lyricist:Nic Dalton
Thrilled to be in the same post code as you
I tell you things I know you'd like to know
Treat you to cake every night
Suddenly talk and it'll make you fright
Smile at me, I'll hold you really tight
Follow you into bed, run around till mornin'
We'll stay awake all night
We'll repeat the same stories
But of course never in front of friends
How it all started in the kitchen, hey
Remember the time when you said we should wait a while?
You'd let me know when you changed your mind
Yeah I was sad for some time
But 12 hours watching me at the wheel
Made me realize what you really feel
Won't have to hurt anymore, run around till mornin'
We'll stay awake all night
We'll repeat the same stories
But of course never in front of friends
How it all started in the kitchen
Walking you home along Mt. Vernon Street
You told me secrets I was shocked to know
Pretend it was me every night
I'm thrilled to be in the same postcode as you
I'll come and visit, maybe never go
Follow you into bed, run around till mornin'
We'll stay awake all night
We'll repeat the same stories
But of course never in front of friends
How it all started in the kitchen
Run around till mornin'
And we'll stay awake every night
Repeat the same stories
But of course never in front of friends
How it all started in the kitchen
17.Ceiling Fan in My Spoon
Lyricist:Evan Dando
Started out today, jello in the sand
Went out of my way not to understand
Walked into a tree, don't you look at me
See, I'm not myself, phony mystery
Sore, afraid
That's my tune
Ceiling fan
In my spoon
Clothed in iron, there's no denyin'
When you feel like a bent fork tine
Feelin' like a bent fork tine
Clothed in iron, there's no denyin'
Sore, afraid
That's my tune
Ceiling fan
In my spoon
In my spoon
In my spoon
In my spoon
Started out today, jello in the sand
Went out of my way not to understand
Walked into a tree, don't you look at me
I mistake myself, phoney mystery
Sore, afraid
That's my tune
Ceiling fan
In my spoon
18.Frank Mills
Lyricist:Galt Macdermot, James Rado, Gerome Ragni
I met a boy called Frank Mills on September 12th right here
In front of The Waverly but unfortunately I lost his address
He was last seen with his friend
A drummer, he resembles George Harrison of the Beatles
But he wears his hair tied in a small bow at the back
I love him but it embarrasses me to walk down the street with
him
He lives in Brooklyn somewhere and he wears his white crash
helmet
He has golden chains on his leather jacket
And on the back are written the names, Mary and Mom and Hell's
Angels
I would gratefully appreciate it if you see him, tell him
I am in the park with my girlfriend and please tell him Angela
and I
Don't want the two dollars back, just him
19.Half the Time
Lyricist:Evan Dando
There's a crow flyin' down from over the hill
Cracked paint on my window sill
Each morning broke provides a girl
Forget my evening feeling world
When day gets dark it seeps into my skin
And I recall the spark that kept me sane
Can't talk to you it's plain
Won't start to name my pain
Or forget I don't know why
You tugged the corner of my eye
Movin' up the neck of my guitar
I turn the lamp off, I see where you are
Your one light slowly fading in my mind
The furthest from my head half the time
Simple point too bright to leave the sky
You're dissolving in my eye, in my eye
My closed eye half the time
Mountain Dew and Marlboro
While I stew over all I owe
My eyes set wet against the breeze
Guide the sun into the trees
Where squirrels are holding acorns in their teeth
I can't see into why I made you leave
Your one light slowly fading in my mind
The furthest from my head, half the time
A simple point revolving in my sky
You're dissolving in my eye
20.Buddy
Lyricist:Evan Dando
She's comin' over
We'll go out walking
Make a call on the way
She's in the phone booth now
I'm lookin' in
There comes a smile on her face
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday
There's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday
Yea
I'm too much with myself
I wanna be someone else
I'm too much with myself
I wanna be someone else
I'm too much with myself
I wanna be someone else
So we take off out Fiona's door
Walk until it's light outside
Like before when you were on the phone
We have to laugh to look at each other
We have to laugh 'cause we're not alone
As the cars fly up King Street
It's enough to startle us
It's enough to startle us
I love my drug buddy
My drug, my drug buddy
I love my drug buddy
My drug, my drug buddy
21.It's All True
Lyricist:Evan Dando
I haven't cried baby, since I learned to talk
Haven't fallen down since I learned to walk
And I don't get bored watchin' the tube
And I never had a rock in my shoe
And if I tried baby, would you mess me 'round?
Would we both get bored by the simple sound?
Sorry 'bout droppin' that elude
It just seemed like the best thing to do
It's all true I got me, she's go you
And we've got time to share a few
You never get me down when I'm feelin' blue
And when I tell you lies you won't believe they're true
And I really should be on my way
Think I'm gonna stick around all day
It's all true I got me, she's got you
But we've got time to parachute
I don't wake up with a sudden start
With some empty arms and a broken heart
And don't get bored watchin' the tube
22.Plaster Caster
Lyricist:G Simmons
Baby's getting anxious, the hour's getting late
The night is almost over, she can't wait
Oh, things are complicating, my love is in her hands
And there's no more waiting, she understands
The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection
Plaster caster, grab a hold of me faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her
And my love is the plaster and yeah, she's the collector
She wants me all the time to inject her
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
And if you wanna see my love
Just ask her, ask her, ask her
The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her
Plaster caster, plaster caster
She wants my love to last her, last her, last her
And she calls me by the name of master, master
Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her
23.Hannah & Gabi
Lyricist:Evan Dando
Got me watching your eyes
Watching things go by outside
Out the window of a train
Easy sipping them
Just seeing it fly left to right
Pour the milk and I'll say when
I'm out wandering around
You're but one thing I've found
I don't mean to bring you down
I'm out wandering around
Kinda hoped you wouldn't blame me
I can't wake up
Everyday and find the same me
You can scream but I'll just dream
How you might disappear
All I know is it's never clear
I can't hold you near
You just are not here
Though it wasn't hard or far
I walked you to your car
24.Favorite T
Lyricist:Evan Dando
I thought we had an understanding there
That wouldn't leave too soon
Figure it over and you'll find out where
Your green shirt's gone
Had to hear about your Danish boyfriend
And I forced a swoon
When I went over to your dresser drawer
And now I got it on
I got it on your favorite T
It never looked as good on you as it looks on me
I got it on, I'll wait to see
I used to wear it every day and now it's twice a week
Twice a week
Fill in the shadows of a certain corner
You used to sit there
Got me a brand new lamp, plugged it in
And now the dark don't fit there
Ain't got the time or the inclination
to see this through
I'm lookin up, climbing out of the station
And the sky's too blue
The sky's too blue, the sky's too blue
It mightn't suit me quite as well as it used to
I got it on your favorite T
I used to wear it every day
25.You Can Take It With You
Lyricist:Evan Dando
Found a place, nothing's ever there
I made a little space big enough to pitch a tent
A hideaway I hadn't ever gone
'Till I whacked my way under the overgrowth
I found a place, I found a place
I found a place, I whacked away
And looking back to discover my tracks
Dirty hands and light through the branches
I found myself a breathing place, got room to stand up straight
And if I wanna lay around I can
Find way to pass the time, flat down or on my side
And in a while I close my eyes
You can, you can
Come on
You can be too rich and you can be too thin
And you can take it with you wherever you go
You must talk to strangers when you visit a new park
You might ask the park ranger where you should park
You can be too rich and you can be too thin
And you can take it with you the things that you learn
26.Knoxville Girl
Lyricist:Evan (arr) Dando, Traditional
I met a little girl in Knoxville, a town we all know well
And every Sunday evening out in her home I'd dwell
We went to take an evening walk, about a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground and beat that fair girl down
She fell down on her bended knees, for mercy she did cry
'Oh Willy dear don't kill me here I'm unprepared to die'
She never spoke another word, I only beat her more
Until the ground around us with all her blood did pour
I took her by her golden curls and drug her 'round and 'round
Throwing her into the river that flows through Knoxville town
Go down go down you Knoxville girl with the dark and rolling eye
Go down, go down you Knoxville girl, you can never be my bride
I headed back to Knoxville got there about midnight
My mother she was worried and woke up in a fright
Saying,'Dear son what have you done to bloody your clothes'
So I told my anxious mother, 'I was bleeding out my nose'
I called for me a candle to light myself to bed
I called for me a handkerchief to bind me aching head
Rolled and tumbled the whole night through as troubles was for
me
Like flames of hell around my bed and in my eyes could see
They carried me down to Knoxville and they put me in a cell
My friends all tried to get me out but none could go my bail
I'm here to waste me life away down in this dirty old jail
Because I murdered that Knoxville girl, the girl I loved so well
27.Mrs. Robinson
Lyricist:Paul Simon
And here's to you Mrs.Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know, oh oh oh
God bless you please Mrs.Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you to learn to help yourself
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
And here's to you Mrs.Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know, oh oh oh
God bless you please Mrs.Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pants with your cupcakes
It's a little secret just the Robinson's affair
Most of all you got to hide it from the kids
And coo coo cachoo
Mrs.Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know, oh oh oh
God bless you please Mrs.Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it shout about it when you got to choose
Every way you look at it you lose
Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns it's lonely eyes to you, ooh ooh ooh
What's that you say Mrs.Robinson
Joltin Joe has left and gone away
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
28.Rockin Stroll
Lyricist:Dando Evan Griffith
She takes me on a rockin' stroll
If you won't wave, guess, I won't know
As by I roll, I hope you'll throw a smile at me
'Cause this here, pram, is all I've known
I won't be walking till I've grown
All I've been shown, is everything I want to see
People's knees and trunks of trees, smile at me
Looking upward to the sky, moving forward all the time
The sidewalk lines, gadunk gadunk gadunk gdai
It's warm in here, is it cold down there?
Around, out where I can only stare
I'm still aware of little but I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try, oh
She takes me on a rockin' stroll
If you won't wave, guess, I won't know
As by I roll, I hope you'll throw a smile at me
'Cause this here, pram, is all I've known
I won't be walking till I've grown
All I've been shown, is everything I want to see
People's knees and trunks of trees, smile at me.
29.No Backbone
Lyricist:Morgan Tom
It's dawned on me again
I can't balance in-betweens
It's no longer familiar to me
It's become routine
The bedroom ritual a simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom, no backbone
Standards I'd kept in the back of my mind
Are now just rules to break from time to time
I'm way past worrying 'bout it gettin' a hold on me
I realize I ride on its back for free
The bedroom ritual, a simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom, no backbone
Additively I'll stick to the safety of the script
But I know I'll end up settling for a less than perfect fit
The bedroom ritual, a simple way to feel
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the bedroom, no backbone
Back in the bedroom, no backbone
Back in the bedroom, no backbone
30.December
Lyricist:Evan Dando
I'm not keepin' up your side of the bargain
As we all know a woman's will can harden
You try and soften up the blow still I hate to see you go
I beg your pardon, a swimming pool that used to be a garden
Get it started
Bake someone a cake and fold my heart in
Drive around the lake and roll my car in
Roll my car in
Is it time to pull my chestnuts from the fire?
Oh, my my, should I diversify or keep my powder dry
It's too early in the day still it's late enough to say you were
a liar
And the truth becomes more clear as I get higher
Find a buyer
Claim yourself exempt and wear a wire
Sleep around until you're good and tired
Good and tired
Watch it bubble out of sight
Tell me psycho where's the knife
Set your watch to ruin my life
Yeah, tell yourself you're not my type
You're not keepin' up my side of the bargain
As we all know a woman's will can harden
Try and soften up the blow still I hate to see you go
I beg your pardon
31.Pittsburgh
Lyricist:Evan Dando
With a little bit of common sense
You can lose a lot of innocence in this world
You can leave yourself behind
In the middle of coincidence
See the world in the present tense
Oh, mother, your kids are so inclined
Sarah said it's sorta personal
I don't know it's kind of hard to tell, with this girl
She'll just take up all your time
Fading in and out of consciousness
With a fair degree of common sense on your mind
Just watch it all unwind
The voices low, slow down
Bounce around
Bounce around, the voices low
Slow down
Jesus Christ and motherfuck
The things I do to push my luck
I don't know, I don't even seem to mind
With a pouch of myrrh and frankincense
And a walk across the desert sands
You might find your baby Frankenstein
The voices low, slow down, slow down
Bounce around
Bounce around, the voices low, voices low
Slow down
32.Rule Of Three
Lyricist:Evan Dando
The way it's supposed to go
As if you didn't know
Exactly how to feel
When it looks just like a dolphin show
The way that most folks know
This is how your life will go
I never wonder why
And I always get a decent lie
The way it's supposed to feel
When you're finding out it's real
Turning on a dime
Well prepared and right in time, right in time
The way it's supposed to be
When you're climbing up a tree
What is that you see?
And don't forget the rule of three
Rule of three
Rule of three
Rule of three
Rule of three
Rule of three
Rule of three
Rule of three
Rule of three
Rule of three
33.Black Gown
Lyricist:Evan Dando
I wanna lie down and listen, I wanna lie down and listen
I gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown?
So you cry now and you're pacing, feel your town might need
erasing
You gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown?
Is it really true he has passed away
Neither I or you can really say
We were fast asleep just the other day
I'd been dreaming about the bales of house high hay
We went and climbed that day
If it ain't fixed, don't break it, when the pain pricks you can
take it
Kill a werewolf when you stake it
Bring the sky down while we're waiting, put a line out or cut
bacon
Drop a dime now for Satan, where's your black gown?
If you find out you're mistaken, give exactly what you're taking
When it's time to throw the rake in
I wanna lie down and listen, I wanna lie down and listen
I gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown?
34.Poughkeepsie
Lyricist:Evan Dando
Goes on in Spanish Harlem, goes on in Poughkeepsie
People slip away
Hit me in the arm, just please do it swiftly
We ain't got all day, yeah
One more coat of arms, every business weekly
What's Amanda's say?
It's not that I'm so strong, I never knew what hit me
Since you came to stay, yeah
Speared and flayed
Burnt and bleeding, I'll catch up some day
'Til tomorrow's bruises go away
And the grass is turning into hay
I'll be glad to be your extra blade
Goes on in Spanish Harlem, goes on in Poughkeepsie
Lost my grip today
Here to stay, least until it's time to go away
Walking masterpiece of remembered pain
This deeming life has got you in it's way
And I'm proud to be your lump of clay
35.(The) Door
Lyricist:Corey Brennan, Evan Dando
Baby, when I think of all my yesterdays
When I dream about tomorrow
When I recount my joys
When I remember my sorrows
Sometimes a man's gotta say what he's gotta say
I ain't hangin' around no more
Tonight I'm picking up my Samsonite
And I'm walking right out the door
You know there's been some good times babe
Sure there's been some bad times too
'Cause tonight I'm leaving you
Well, sometimes a man's gotta say what he's gotta say
Even if it's real bad news
Tonight I'm walking out that door
And I'm making love to a bottle of booze
Don't try and track me down
36.Let's Just Laugh
Lyricist:Evan Dando, John Stevenson
I say out with it, you're not drinking
I say out with it, you're not drinking
It's not for me to know what you're thinking
'Bout people staying home, locking windows
Outside the basement, a Texan stranger
With a rope and a straight razor
Is getting impatient for something major
It's in his nature
Two more years to go
Then you're supposed to know
How to get back home
Someplace near Waco
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything
Anyway whatever will be, I guess we'll see
So let's just laugh
War is sacred as rape and hatred
And we're just aphids in hell's half acre
In the dark and on TV fires
Just a country on rims for tyres
Excuses tired
Someone fetch the piano wire
I hope you're tried and fried
Before you're finally fired
Two more years to kill
If you want I will
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything
Anyway whatever will be, I guess we'll see
Let's just laugh
Let's just laugh
We can never do anything about anything
Anyway
