  • Pretty Good Year

    Tears on the sleeve of a man
    Don't want to be a boy today
    Heard the eternal footman
    Bought himself a bike to race

    And Greg he writes letters and burns his CDs
    They say you were something in those formative years
    Hold onto nothing as fast as you can
    Well still
    pretty good year

    Maybe a bright sandy beach
    Is gonna bring you back back back
    Maybe not so now you're off
    You're gonna see America
    Well let me tell you something about America

    Pretty good year

    Some things are melting now
    Well what's it gonna
    Take till my baby's alright

    And Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen
    Sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in
    Lucy was pretty your best friend agreed
    Well still pretty good year

    To the Top.

    God

    God sometimes you just don't come through
    God sometimes you just don't come through
    Do you need a woman to look after you
    God sometimes you just don't come through

    You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love
    I gotta find what you're doing about things here
    A few witches burning gets a little toasty here
    I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

    Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
    You got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case
    Heard you've gone south well babe you love your new 4 wheel
    I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

    [give not thy strength unto women
    nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings]

    Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
    Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky

    God sometimes you just don't come through
    God sometimes you just don't come through
    Do you need a woman to look after you
    God sometimes you just don't come through

    To the Top.

    Bells For Her

    And through the life force and there goes her friend
    On her Nishiki it's out of time
    And through the portal they can make amends

    Hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends
    Can't stop what's coming
    Can't stop what's on its way

    And through the walls they made their mudpies
    I've got your mind I said
    She said I've your voice
    I said you don't need my voice girl
    You have your own
    But you never thought it was enough

    So they went years and years
    Like sisters blanket girls
    Always there through that and this
    There's nothing we cannot ever fix I said

    Can't stop what's coming
    Can't stop what's on its way

    Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls
    Brothers and lovers she and I were
    Now she seems to be sand under his shoes
    There's nothing I can do

    Can't stop what's coming
    Can't stop what's on its way

    And now I speak to you are you in there
    You have her face and her eyes
    But you are not her
    And we go at each other like blank ettes
    Who can't find their thread and their bare

    Can't stop loving
    Can't stop what is on its way
    And I see it coming
    And it's on its way

    To the Top.

    Past The Mission

    Guest Vocals: Trent Reznor

    I don't believe I went too far
    I said I was willing
    She said she knew what my books did not
    I thought she knew what's up

    Past the mission
    Behind the prison tower
    Past the mission
    I once knew a hot girl
    Past the mission
    They're closing every hour
    Past the mission
    I smell the roses

    She said they all think they know him well
    She knew him better
    Everyone wanted something from him
    I did too but I shut my mouth
    He just gave me a smile

    Hey they found a body
    Not sure it was his
    Still they're using his name
    And she gave him shelter
    And somewhere I know she knows
    Somewhere I know she knows
    Somethings only she knows

    To the Top.

    Baker Baker

    Baker Baker baking a cake
    Make me a day
    Make me whole again
    And I wonder what's in a day
    What's in your cake this time

    I guess you heard he's gone to L.A.
    He says that behind my eyes I'm hiding
    And he tells me I pushed him away
    That my heart's been hard to find

    Here
    There must be something here
    There must be something here
    Here

    Baker Baker can you explain
    If truly his heart was made of icing
    And I wonder how mine would taste
    Maybe we could change his mind

    I know you're late for your next parade
    You came to make sure that I'm not running
    Well I ran from him in all kinds of ways
    Guess it was her turn this time

    Time
    Thought I'd make friends with time
    Thought we'd be flying
    Maybe not this time

    Baker Baker baking a cake
    Make me a day
    Make me whole again
    And I wonder if he's ok
    If you see him say hi

    To the Top.

    The Wrong Band

    I think it's perfectly clear
    We're in the wrong band
    Ginger is always sincere
    Just not to one man

    She called me up and she said
    You know that I'm drowning
    It's the dog trainer again
    He says that he thinks that she needs more hands

    I think it's perfectly clear
    We're in the wrong band
    Senator let's be sincere
    As much as we can

    He called her up and he said
    The new prosecutor soon will be wanting a word
    So she's got a soft spot for heels and spurs
    And there's something believin in her voice again
    Said there's something believin
    Instead of just leavin
    And she gets her cigars from the sweet fat man

    I think it's perfectly clear
    We're in the wrong band
    Heidi says she'll be sincere
    As much as she can

    I called her up and I said
    You know that I'm drowning
    Put on your raincoat again
    Cause even the sun's got a price on it
    And there's something believin in her voice again
    Said there's something believin in her voice
    Instead of just leavin
    Instead of just leaving

    She said it's time I open my eyes
    Don't be afraid to open your eyes
    Maybe she's right
    Maybe she's right
    Maybe she's right
    Maybe she's right

    To the Top.

    The Waitress

    So I want to kill this waitress
    She's worked her a year longer than I
    If I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness

    But I believe in peace
    I believe in peace Bitch
    I believe in peace

    I want to kill this waitress
    I can't believe this violence in mind
    And is her power all in her club sandwich

    I want to kill this killing wish
    They're too many stars and not enough sky
    Boys all think she's living kindness
    Ask a fellow waitress
    Ask a fellow waitress

    To the Top.

    Cornflake Girl

    Never was a cornflake girl
    Thought that was a good solution
    Hangin with the raisin girls
    She's gone to the other side
    Givin us a yo heave ho
    Things are getting kind of gross
    And I go at sleepy time
    This is not really happening

    You bet your life it is
    Peel out the watchword just peel out the watchword

    She knows what's going on
    Seems we got a cheaper feel now
    All the sweeteaze are gone
    Gone to the other side
    With my encyclopedia
    They musta paid her a nice price
    She's puttin on her string bean love
    This is not really happening

    You bet your life it is

    Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
    And the man with the golden gun
    Thinks he knows so much
    Thinks he knows so much
    Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

    To the Top.

    Icicle

    Icicle Icicle where are you going
    I have a hiding place when spring marches in
    Will you keep watch for me
    I hear them calling

    Gonna lay down
    Gonna lay down

    Greeting the monster in our Easter dresses
    Father says bow your head like the Good Book says
    Well I think the Good Book is missing some pages

    gonna lay down
    gonna lay down

    And when my hand touches myself
    I can finally rest my head
    And when they say take from his body
    I think I'll take from mine instead

    Getting Off
    Getting Off
    While they're all downstairs
    Singing prayers sing away
    He's in my pumpkin p.j's
    Lay your book on my chest
    Feel the word
    Feel the word
    Feel the word
    Feel it

    I could have
    I should have
    I could have flown
    You know I could have
    I should have
    I didn't so

    To the Top.

    Cloud On My Tongue

    Someone's knockin on my kitchen door
    Leave the wood outside
    What all the girls here are freezing cold

    Leave me with your Borneo
    I don't need much to keep me warm

    Don't stop now what you're doing
    What you're doing my ugly one
    Bring them all here
    Hard to hide a hundred girls in your hair
    It won't be fair if I hate her
    If I ate her
    You can go now

    You're already in there
    I'll be wearing your tattoo
    You're already in there

    Got a cloud sleeping on my tongue
    He goes then it goes
    And kiss the violets as they're waking up

    Leave me with your Borneo
    Leave me the way I was before

    You're already in there
    I'll be wearing your tattoo
    I'm already in circles and circles and circles again
    The girl's in circles and circles got to stop spinning
    Circles and circles and circles again
    Thought I was over the bridge now

    To the Top.

    Space Dog

    Way to go Mr. Microphone
    Show us all what you don't know
    Centuries secret societies
    He's our commander still
    Space dog

    So sure we were on something
    Your feet are finally on the ground he said
    So sure we were on something
    Your feet are just on the ground girl

    Rain and snow
    Our engines have been receiving your eager call
    There's Colonel Dirtyfishydishcloth
    He'll distract her good
    Don't worry so

    And to the one you thought was on your side
    She can't understand
    She truly believes the lies

    Lemon Pie
    He's coming through
    Our commander still Space dog
    Lines secure Space dog

    Deck the halls
    I'm young again
    I'm you again
    Racing turtles
    The grapefruit is winning
    Seems I keep getting this story twisted
    So where's Neil when you need him

    Deck the halls
    It's you again
    It's you again
    Somewhere someone must know the ending
    Is she still pissing in the river now
    Heard she's gone
    Moved into a trailer park

    So sure we were on something
    [so sure those girls now are in the Navy]
    Your feet finally on the ground he said
    [those bombs our friends can't even hurt you now]
    So sure we were on something
    [and hold those tears cause they're still on your side]
    You feet just on the ground girl
    [don't hear the dogs barking]
    So sure we were on something
    [don't say you know we've gone Andromeda]
    Your feet finally on the ground he said
    [stood with those girls before]
    So sure we were on something
    [the hair in pairs it just got nasty]
    Your feet are just on the ground
    [and now those girls are gone]

    To the Top.

    Yes, Anastasia

    I know what you want the magpies have come
    If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use

    Make them go
    Make it go

    Saw her there in a restaurant
    Poppy don't go
    I know your mother is a good one
    But Poppy don't go
    I'll take you home

    Show me the things I've been missin
    Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking
    Show me the ways to get back to the garden
    Show me the ways to get around the get around
    Show me the ways to button up buttons
    That have forgotten they're buttons
    Well we can't have that
    Forgetting that

    Girls
    Girls
    What have we done to ourselves

    Driving on the vine
    Over clothes lines
    But officer I saw the sign

    Thought I'd been through this in 1919
    Counting the tears of ten thousand men
    And gathered them all
    But my feet are slipping
    There's something we left on the windowsill
    There's something we left yes

    We'll see how brave you are
    We'll see how fast you'll be running
    We'll see how brave you are
    Yes, Anastasia
    And all your dollies have friends

    Thought she deserved no less than she'd give
    Well happy birthday
    Her blood's on my hands
    It's kind of a shame cause I did like that dress
    It's funny the things that you find in the rain
    The things that you find
    In the mall and in the date mines
    In the knots still in her hair
    On the bus I'm on my way down
    All the girls seem to be there

    Come along now little darlin'
    Come along now with me
    Come along now little darlin'
    We'll see how brave you are

    To the Top.
