The Mr T Experience Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Can't Get There From Here

Lyricist:William Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

When your world is a monster
A band to swallow your hole
With your space impeded tree limbs
Throw the trolls out the door

If you're needing inspiration
Modern math is where I go dem bones
Lawyer Jeff, for no one, slow down
Spiderman gives it, oh, no, no

I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there

When your hands are feeling icky
Spit can jump in off the ground round
This is shower sugar beer now
Donna Reed is not my mom

I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there

Hands down ain't she bad?
Can't stop hit the ground
Doin' the town in a communist court
Round and round, go ahead
Mr. City wide hypnotize, zoom time
Gentlemen, just we five spilling all over Manhattan

I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there I know the way
(Can't get there from here)
I'll get there


2.Pleasant Valley Sunday

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin, Carole King

The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green he's so serene
He's got a TV in every room

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray
To places far away
I need a change of scenery

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land


3.Needles and Pins

Lyricist:Sonny Bono, Jack Nitzsche

I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I love and I knew

I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away still it begins

Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh, I thought, I was smart

I stole her heart, didn't think I do
But now I see
She's worse to him than me

Let her go ahead
Take his love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to save me

And get down on her knees
Oh, that's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
Oh no, oh no

Why can't I stop and tell myself
I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong?
Why can't I stand up
And tell myself I'm strong?

Because I saw her today
I saw her face
It was the face I love and I knew

I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away still it begins

Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey, needles and pins

Needles and pins
Needles and pins


4.Questioningly

Lyricist:Dee Dee Ramone, Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Tommy Ramone

Quetioningly her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke
Are you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago?

Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said, â½You're a girl
That I once may have knewâ

But I don't love you anymore
Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry

In the morning
I'm at work on time
My boss he tells me
That I'm doing fine

When I'm going home
Whiskey bottle, movie on TV
Memories make me cry
And I'm alone just me
Just me, questioningly

But I don't love you anymore
Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry

Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said, â½You're a girl
That I once may have knewâ

Quetioningly her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke
Are you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago?


5.Somebody Wants To Love You

Lyricist:Michael Appel, Jim Cretecos, Wes Farrell

On your own, far away from home
There never seems to be a friend when you're alone
People stare, you wonder if they care
So you turn your back on someone with love to share

Try to see, it's gotta be
It's someone or another is the only possibility
So when you're down and losin' ground
Don't get to thinkin' love can't be found

You gotta stop, stop and look around
Somebody wants to love you
Stop, stop and turn around
Somebody wants to love you
Somebody wants to love you

Hey, you, it's nothin' new
Love will be around no matter what you do
So you try every alibi
And fool yourself some more then wonder why

So try to see, it's gotta be
When you turn your back on love, you miss the opportunity
And once again you're at a dead end
Nowhere to turn without a friend

Hey, stop, stop and look around
Somebody wants to love you
Stop, stop and turn around
Somebody wants to love you
Somebody wants to love you

Hey, stop, stop and look around
Somebody wants to love you
Stop, stop and turn around
Somebody wants to love you

Hey, stop, stop and look around
Somebody wants to love you
Stop, stop and turn around
Somebody wants to love you
Somebody wants to love you


6.Speed Racer

Lyricist:Nobuyoshi Koshibe, Tetsuya Yoshida

Here he comes
Here comes speed racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon
And he's gonna be chasin' after someone

He's gainin' on you
So you better look alive
He's busy revvin' up
A powerful Mach 5

And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life
Speed racer will see it through

Go speed racer
Go speed racer
Go speed racer, go!

He's off and flyin'
As he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal
Like he's never comin' back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead

Go speed racer
Go speed racer
Go speed racer, go!


7.Sex Offender

Lyricist:Roquel Davis, Tony Clarke

I saw you standing on the corner
You looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you
So when you smiled, I laid my heart on the line

You read me my rights and then you said
â½Let's go and nothing moreâ
I thought of my nights and how they were
They were filled with, I know you would not go
You'd watch my heart burst then, you'd step in

I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
I sat in the night with my hands cuffed by my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more, I know you would not go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in

I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that love like wine is ageless
Public defender

You had to admit you wanted
The love of a sex offender
My vision in blue I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial you were there
With your badge and rubber boots

I think all the time how
I'm going to perpetrate love with you
And when I get out there's no doubt
I'll be a sex offender to you


8.Mary Mary

Lyricist:Lou Reed

Took a lot of time but I realized
Now it's clear to me
Mary you're a freak
Mary Mary you're a freak

Don't talk to me, Mary Mary you're so sick
You're a freak, you're a freak
I was doing fine, thought I knew your mind
Now I know I don't and I'm all alone

Mary Mary you're a freak
Don't talk to me, Mary Mary you're so sick
Don't look at me, you're a freak, you're a freak

Mary Mary you're a freak
Don't talk to me, Mary Mary you're so sick
Don't look at me, you're a freak and a creep
You're a creep and a freak


9.Deep Deep Down

Lyricist:Arthur Alexander

So this is goodbye more or less
And things have changed a lot I guess
In such a mess and so out of hand
Though I think it went pretty much as you planned

It was so hazy till my eyes had cleared
Now I can see better but it still looks weird
Is that still you lying there?
Why can't I find you anywhere?

I still don't understand this episode
Or why you led us down that road
But I think you knew where it would lead
And how something would come over me

I still don't know just what it was
I guess nobody ever really does
Know why they do the things they do
Why did I have to follow you?

Deep deep down
Where it isn't safe to be
'Cause I beat you there
And now they're comin' after me

You always were an angel in my eyes
And now more than ever the term applies
The eyes still see what the soul believes
And you look so pretty underneath the leaves

And though we part forever now
I feel you'll be with me somehow
I believe in God and you know
You're still my angel and I love you so

Deep deep down
Pretty as the scenery
You're lying under it
But I feel you watching over me

So now I've got to tear myself away
'Cause they'll just find me if I stay
They wouldn't understand what we'd been through
Or how I did it all for you

All to show you how I cared
It was the last thing we ever shared
Together and I'll cherish the memory
And carry a piece of you with me

Deep deep down
Where I'm not supposed to be
'Cause I buried you there
And now they're comin' after me

Deep deep down
Deep deep down
'Cause I buried you there
And now they're comin' after me


10.The Girl Who Still Lives At Home

Lyricist:Dio

Something pretty bad happened to her long ago
She clams up, she lost it, she'd rather be alone
Lying on the bed with those stuffed animals back home

Her old high school friends have all moved away
When they see her now they don't know what to say
They're so different now and she is practically the same

She's the girl who still lives at home
She's left out and she's all alone
Working at the taco stand
Fighting with her mom and dad

I can see her now sitting in the living room
Thinking of all of the things that she can't do
Not as long as she is living underneath their roof

She's the girl who still lives at home
Mom and dad sent her to her room
When they saw what she had done
Now she's just a skeleton

They say she's wasting away
She just stares into space everyday

And you know she'd like to move away
Be on her own and she says it everyday
She has plans to move away
But you know she's gonna stay that way

She's talking to her mom
She needs some help in the kitchen
They're watching L.A. Law
And cable television she says

It's not so bad
You save a lot of money
And she heard what you said
But she's staring at nothing


11.Spiderman

Lyricist:Chilton Price, Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart

Spiderman, Spiderman
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches thieves, just like flies
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman!

Is he strong? Listen, Bud!
He's got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead
Hey there, there goes the Spiderman!

In the chill of night
At the scene of the crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time

Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame, he's ignored
Action is his reward

To him, life is a great big bang-up
Wherever there's a hang-up
You'll find the Spiderman


12.Send Me A Postcard

Lyricist:Robert Leeuwen

Before loneliness will break my heart
Send me a postcard, darling
How can I make you understand?
I wanna be a woman

Here, here I'm waiting for a little sign
Waiting 'til the end of time

Send me a postcard, darling
Send me a postcard now
Send me a postcard, darling
Send me a postcard now

I can't taste the lonely night
I need someone I can turn to
Look out the day I see a little sign
And even though you're on my mind

No, oh please, don't let me down
There ain't no lover like me in town

Send me a postcard, darling
Send me a postcard now
Send me a postcard, darling
Send me a postcard now

Before loneliness will break my heart
Send me a postcard, darling
How can I make you understand?
I wanna be a woman

Yeah, I'm waiting for a little sign
Waiting 'til the end of time


13.No Milk Today

Lyricist:Graham Gouldman

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn a symbol of the dark
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by, don't know the reason why

But how could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know what palace might have been
Behind the door, where my love reigns as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we turned night into day
After we played and came up from the dance
Well that was were we sowed, the seeds of old romance

Well, how could we know just what this message means
The end of our hopes, the end of all our dreams
Then how could I know what palace might have been
Behind the door where my love reigns as queen

And all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in the main-street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just to help you down

But how could you know just what this message means
The end of our hopes, the end of all our dreams
And how could I know what palace might have been
Behind the door where my love reigns as Queen

No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by, don't know the reason why
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dark

No milk today
(Today)
No milk today
(Today)

No milk today
(Today)
No milk today
(No milk today)
