it’s clear

driving in my car
i’m feeling oh so far
away from you
so what’s new
i wish that you would care
i wish that you weren’t there
just you and him
things are looking grim

it’s clear you’re not coming
back to me, i fear
and i know you’re not coming
back to me
and so i often wonder why
love is sweet and kind
and hard to find

they say the man behind the mask
is not an easy task to see
so woe is me
i sit here all alone
waiting for the phone
to cooperate but it’s too late and

the mirror does not lie
the mirror does not try
to deceive it does not leave
the scars that you have often made
it’s hard for them to fade
and now i hear
the message and it’s

Snow

it was just snow soft and white
it was just snow falling so light
it was just snow soft and white
falling so light,
falling last night

no it wasn’t a lightning storm
ripping leaves and
the limbs off of trees
and it wasn’t a massive earthquake
the earth buckling from beneath

because he wasn’t quite that sad
and he wasn’t quite that mad
but his messenger died yesterday
and he wanted us to know

so it was just snow soft and white
it was just snow falling so light
it was just snow soft and white
falling so light,
falling last night

no it wasn’t a giant tidal wave
drowning every man
woman and child
and it wasn’t a huge hurricane
wind and rain whipping
‘round us so wild

because he wasn’t quite that sad
and he wasn’t quite that mad
but his messenger died yesterday
and he wanted us to know

so it was just snow soft and white
it was just snow falling so light
it was just snow soft and white
falling so light,
falling last night

go to hell

if you steal you cheat, you lie you fight
party with the women staying out late at night
and you give up church and you give up prayer
and have a goatee and grow long hair
if you’re rude and crude and lude
and run around half naked in the nude
and you listen to that darn rock and roll
i swear, i swear

you’re gonna go to hell, go to hell
you’re gonna go to hell
hell is a place and it ain’t that swell
I’m telling you boys, you’re all gonna go to hell
you’re gonna go to hell, go to hell
you’re gonna go to hell
I hope you look good with horns and a tail
I’m telling you boys you’re all gonna go to hell

well hell it ain’t great it ain’t that keen
the people ain’t nice they’re downright mean
they don’t help old ladies across the street
or say “howdy do” to everyone they meet
and it’s really really hot it ain’t that cool
a lake of fire and brimstone instead of a pool
you better pack your bags with lots of shorts
and tons of tank tops too because

elvis is the devil himself
as he shimmy shakes his rear end quakes
across the stage that makes all the girls swoon and swirl
so if you shake that booty when you’re dancing
like elvis does with ants in his pants
and you’re a low-down, i said a good for nothing
a dirty rotten stealing lying cheating son of a gun

same sun

see him there he is a poor man
he steals to support his family
from people just like you and me
from people just like you and me
and everyday he walks the streets alone
running from the cops he comes back home
with a wallet a camera or money
sometimes it’s hard for me to see

we all live under the same sun
that gives it’s light to everyone
we all live under the same sun
that gives it’s light to everyone

he lived down the street in my neighborhood
until he made a big mistake
nobody knew just how much he would take
nobody knew just how much he could take
and now he lives his life behind prison bars
and it’s hard to imagine that he’s down there
and the neighbors are bitter and they don’t care
the neighbors are bitter and they don’t care

i knew that he would die a violent death
because he lived his life that way
and when the police shot him down that day
the police shot him down that day
he stabbed a man with a bayonet
and they took all the money that they could get
and in a stolen car they got away
sometimes it’s hard and i forget

we all live under the same sun
that gives it’s light to everyone
we all live under the same son
that gives his light to everyone

for a moment i thought i saw me fly
above the earth and sky
above the ground below and everyone i know
every nation race and kindred tongue and face
all the aggravation resting on his grace
high above the earth and mother mary’s birth
i saw the angels cry
and with them i did fly

1000 x

she lived next door on 7th avenue
but he never dared to ask her name
and they watched each other as the weeks and months passed by
but they never talked it was a crying shame

i think he’s seen her face a 1000 times before
he knew she was the one when she came walking through the door
but that was only in his dreams
that was only in his dreams
and now he stands there with his heart in his hand
i hope she says yes i hope she understands
i hope she understands
i hope she understands

and now they’re walking, walking and holding hands
and now they’re talking, talking marriage plans
it wasn’t long after they met the day was set in spring
and now her mother’s crying hear the wedding bells ring

i think he’s seen her face a 1000 times before
beside the alter as they kneel on the floor
but that was only in his dreams
that was only in his dreams
she stands there glowing in her gown of flowing white
they’re pronounced man and wife now he may kiss the bride
now he may kiss the bride
now he may kiss the bride

they left that night with tin cans clanging from behind
her long hair blowing as they waved goodbye
to tell you the truth i haven’t seen him since then
but he calls me every month or so to tell me how it’s been

i think he’s seen her face a 1000 times before
their love was so innocent their love was so pure
but that was only in his dreams
that was only in his dreams
and now he hasn’t been so happy since the day that he was born
because he’ll see her face a 1000 times or more
at least a 1000 times or more
at least a 1000 times or more

phideaux

phideaux he was a little too curious
he went a little too close to the road, phideaux
he was a little too dumb
a little slow on the run
phideaux - poor little doggie,
woof woof woof

phideaux, he was a little rebellious
didn’t want to do what he was told, oh no
being a little brave went
to play out on the pavement
phideaux, poor little doggie,
woof woof woof

he’s got the dead dog blues
the dead dog blues
he’s got the dead dog blues

he was a good little doggie
he didn’t take it too serious
the warnings that i said and now he’s dead
he was a little too tall
to fit underneath that car
phideaux - poor little doggie

he was a good little doggie
he just wanted to be free
he never did ever did want to be
like everyone else’s dog you see
like an animal on a chain
he didn’t think they had a brain
he thought he was smarter than all the rest
he thought he knew what was best
he was a runnin’ funnin’
his tongue was a flippin’ and flappin’
and he was a barkin’ yappin’
the poor little pup was a little delirious
he seriously didn’t see that old big car
that was honking and rolling his engine was revvin’
and he was just strollin’ not thinking of heaven
then boom - all of a sudden
all of his priorities changed

the bomb song

if the bomb were to fall to kill us all
what would you take with you?
if the bomb were to fall to kill us all
where would you go to?
would you tell everyone that you loved?
or pray to the Lord up above?
if the bomb were to fall
if the bomb were to fall
if the bomb were to fall

oh i’m high, and i fly
yeah that’s me
cruising through the jet stream
here i am, like superman
but not as nice
and through the atmosphere i slice
and the people run
‘cause here i come
the people fear
i am falling through the stratosphere
i am falling through the stratosphere
i am falling

a rocket blast, i am fast
and through the clouds i scream
like something from a bad dream
a ufo? oh no no, not so refined
a little bit more like Frankenstein
inside my head, unstable lead
i am near
i am falling through the stratosphere
i am falling through the stratosphere
i am falling

babies cry as i say “hi”
see the flash like a giant lightning clash
and the ground begins to reel within
the buildings tear
i see shrapnel everywhere
hear the boom impending doom
i am here
i have fallen

oh i’m high, and i fly
here i am, like superman

hear the boom impending doom
i am here
i have fallen through the stratosphere
i have fallen through the stratosphere
i have fallen

if the bomb were to fall to kill us all
what would you take with you?
if the bomb were to fall to kill us all
where would you go to?
would you tell everyone
that you loved?
or pray to the Lord up above?
if the bomb were to fall
if the bomb were to fall
if the bomb were to fall

if I had the things I wanted

if I had the things I wanted
there’d be a little pond
and it would have a little swan
and a waterfall
and it would have a big cliff wall
and on the top a castle tall
with armoured knights around to guard it all

if I had the things I wanted
I’d have the finest horse around
his feet would never touch the ground
‘cause he would fly
high above the sky
on wings so wide and strong
he’d never tire I’d ride him all day long

if I had the things I wanted
if I had the things I wanted
if I had the things I wanted

there’d be a little path
to a gazebo in the grass
with a little swing
and i would live there like a king
with a view so grand and fine
it would take my breathe away everytime

if I had the things I wanted

you’d be standing there
and you’d show me that you care
with a little kiss
and after that i’d never miss
another day by your side
and out across the skyline we would ride

if I had the things I wanted
if I had the things I wanted
if I had the things I wanted
if I had the things I wanted
.........if I had the things I wanted

freeway

the best looking girls I see
are driving on the freeway
because I can’t see how much
they weigh

the best looking girls I see
are driving in a fast car
because I can’t tell how really
ornery they are

when I see them on the sidewalk
no they don’t talk to me
I only see them driving real fast and it won’t last
but it’s all that i can do i think i’m falling in love with you

the best looking girls I see are driving in the fast lane
because I don’t find out that they’re obsessive, psychotic insane
the best looking girls i see,
oh my yes
because I don’t have to deal
with their PMS

cause she’s got everything that I could ever dream of
and i think she’s smiling back my way
she’s got everything that I could ever dream of
and she’s on the freeway
she’s on the freeway
she’s on the freeway

the best looking girls I see behind the wheel
because i don’t have to pay
their credit card bill
the best looking girls I see
are driving at night
because I don’t have to see them
in broad daylight

cause she’s got everything that I could ever dream of
and i think she’s smiling back my way
she’s got everything that I could ever dream of
and she’s on the freeway
she’s on the freeway
she’s on the freeway
