If I had a lot of money
Id move to another country
Id disappear, not tell a soul, I'd change my name
Or maybe I'd go back to school
Major in something foolish
And I could do it cause I'd have a lot of money
Here I am holding on to childhood's dream
Sitting in my apple tree
Swaying as the branches tremble under me
The jig is up, it's all been played
The well is dry, the bed's been made
The jig is up, the jig is up
Maybe I could jump,
Jump off the Brooklyn Bridge
But I don't live in Brooklyn
And I don't know how to swim
Or I could find religion
go on some kind of mission
Feed the poor, and then I would go to heaven
if I believed in heaven
Here I am, holding on to childhood's dream
Standing on the balcony
Waiting for someone to come and rescue me
The jig is up, the dance is done
The record skips, the song's been sung
The troops have dwindled down to one
The jig is up
The jig is up, the sun has set
The train is wrecked, the sheets are wet
And like I said, the jig is up
Well I can't really disappear
Cause I dont have a lot of money
And I don't really think I wanna
go back to school
But maybe I'm just in a bad mood
And I need to change my attitude
And when I wake up tomorrow
I'll believe in heaven
Here I am, holding on to childhood's dream
Climbing down the apple tree
Waking as you pull the covers off of me
The jig is up
The jig is up, yes it's been tough
The punch is drunk, the shrink is shrunk
It's time to get the baby up
It's off to work let's start the car
We'll turn it over in its grave
And start again its soul to save
The jig is up but so what
We'll fill again this empty cup
The jig is up, the point's been made
Elvis has just left the stage
The story needs another twist
And I have had enough of this
One Summer Last Fall (Jets To Brazil)
kid i held you with these arms that felt so hard
you kept your chin up and i held my guard
made a prison bed from a life i never led
let me correct these mistakes you delight in
God i hope i get it right ive been practicing tonight
kid i hope it holds soime fraction of its feeling
if you keep believing then ill keep on being
a ghost in his prison bed short sheeted and shook dead
looking at love he still hasnt made yet
that i couldnt make to you baby, i can barely move
kid you were wrong that wasnt me in that song
you write the lie youd like to be
when your life feels like a book you wouldnt read
kid ive lived through others i made myself so mall
i lived through a record one summer last fall
the singer said something i could only feel
i saw him this morning he still looked real real
God i need him here tonight
i just know hed get this right
kid im a mess
if it looked good youre seeing things i guess
i changed my mind so many times im a strobe light
flickering freak. the baby of the week
im starting to see someone i could never be
kid what went wrong? we had it all now its all gone
i blew my mind out now its your turn to find out
what we all need
what we all mean
im starting to see someone i dont want to be
Hanging Upside Down (David Byrne)
Window shoppin'
Finger poppin'
Hangin' in our fav'rite shopping mall
Looky looky
A little cutie
A little kitten she deserves a home
Tell you dudes when I get old enough
Bet that I am gonna try some stuff
Twisted sister
Don't 'cha miss her
But there's a hundred more where she came from
Wiggle wiggle
Jiggle jiggle
Jesus, how the babes are almost grown!
I don't need to watch the news at night
Anyone can see we're outa time --
Hangin' on
Hangin' out
Got my hundred dollar shoes
Hangin' round
Hangin' free
We got nothin else to do
What goes up
Must come down
Oh, she took an overdose
Hangin' out
Hangin' free
Till our mama takes us home
Shimmy shimmy
Gimmie gimmie
We don't need you & we don't need love
Gotta have it
I'm gonna grab it
It ain't stealing, hey, it's only fun
When you live inside the pleasure dome
You don't ever wanna go back home
Hangin' on
Hangin' out
Some are hangin' upside down
A perfect world
A perfect girl
Oh ? another year rolls by
I'm the king
You're my queen
When those zombies all awake
A broken heart
A broken home
Ain't no tears upon your face
Hangin' on
Hangin' out
There's a place for me & you
Hangin' round
Hangin' free
We got nothin' else to do
Turn it up
Fade it down
Yeah, that song it saved my life
Perfect teeth
A perfect smile
Oh, she was a friend of mine
Let's go out
To the place
Where the hands of time are slowed
No one walks
No one dies
No more hassles anymore
Metal & Steel (Bob Schneider)
I am metal I am steel
But I don't mind cause I can't feel a thing
I'm a diamond ring
I'm not flesh I'm not bone
And I'm not sad I'm not all alone
I'm a stone
The king is dead and the queen has flown
Left me here in the twilight zone
Lost looking for a way to get back home
But there's no right there's no wrong
So I'll be good I'll be strong
I'll be silver I'll be gold
Without a heart and without even a soul
I'll be coal
I won't be blood and teeth and skin
I won't feel this pain I'm in
I'll be tin with no heart within
Moon Song (Bob Schneider)
I like the sun
When it shines
On the moon
At night
I like the way
The way that you smile
When you feel
Just right
La la la la
I like the wind
When it blows
Me close
To you
I like the way
That you hold
Me the way
You do
La la la la
I like the way
That you say
That you'll always
Stay
I like the sun
When it shines
On the moon
This way
back to top
Little Honey (Kelly Willis)
Verse 1
Little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
Little honey, I ain't lookin' for a fight
Little honey, you won't make me mad
If you tell me about a boyfriend, that you had
Who lied last night, made you sad
Left you cryin' by the side of the road
Left you cryin' to walk home all alone
Verse 2
Little honey, won't you please come over here
Little honey, we gotta get something clear
Little honey, if you don't answer me soon
You're comin' home tomorrow, to an empty room
The lights left on, the door open wide
Windows broken and your picture smashed
Windows broken, and our bed covered with trash
I'm not lookin' for a fight
But little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
Verse 3
Little honey, won't you please come over here
Little honey, we gotta get something clear
Little honey, you won't make me mad
If you tell me about a boyfriend, that you had
You know I care, but what can I do?
Sit here waitin' for some lights on the road
Sit here waitin' 'till you come home alone
I'm not lookin' for a fight
But little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
I ain't lookin' for a fight
But little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
Deep Talk In The Shallow End (Ben Lee)
If you were here Id slap you senseless
Then Id ask you where youve been
Id tell you dont you know I worry
Sitting up each night in fear
And then Id tell you that Im angry
And Id say you did me wrong
And that I hate you cos you sneak into
My every single song
If you were here youd see the damage done
And then youd feel the shame
Id make you understand my pain
If you were round Id show you wounds and scars
The proof that you were here
And then Id make you cry like I did
If my point still was not clear
If you were here Id scream and
Maybe trash the room if I had time
And then one single word would break your spirit
Just the same as you broke mine
If you were here youd realize what you did
Stay for a million years
Id make you cry my tears
But youre not here
And Im not strong
And this whole thing has gone on too long
I need to leave this on my shelf
But instead I say it to myself
If you were here Id slap you senseless
If only you were here
Dead At Last (Wolfsbane)
He ironed his shirt and pressed his pants,
And with a dull empty sadness hanging over his heart,
He shined his shoes.
'It's better than working for a living', the waitress said,
But all the time inside, Johnny's heart was breaking open wide.
Playing in that half empty Twilight Room on a Saturday,
Johnny tried to dream his life away,
Hoping that he would wake up in the beam of a super trooper,
Wishing that he was much cooler.
All he heard his head say was,
"Life ain't like that",
In the sorrow of his dressing room he sat,
So he drains the bottle,
Loads the gun,
Writes the note,
No-one will come,
Pulls the trigger,
Breaks the glass,
The man in the mirror,
is dead at last.
The note said "Stick your club right up your ass,
This gig stinks, you're second class,
I'm going to save my pride, keep my head,
If people ask, that singer's dead.",
So when every hour seems like a day,
And nothing seems to go your way.
Don't let those bastards drag you down,
You've got to hold on to what you've got,
Don't swan dive off a bottle top,
All you got to do is blow that town.
Temptation (Halford)
I know what's going on inside your crooked mind
I've been around too long to know about your kind
I made you feel I was a victim of your prey
I let you tie me down though I can get away
Don't you lead me into temptation
Don't deceive me into temptation
You gave so much to me you left me feeling numb
So full of emptiness from stealing what you've done
How can you bear to stand the life you try to live
A sad and broken heart is all you've left to give
Don't you lead me into temptation
Don't deceive me into temptation
A slave to your touch
I can't run cause I'm blind
