UNDER THE PINK

 

 

PRETTY GOOD YEAR

 

Tears on the sleeve of a man

Don't wanna 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 on to nothing as fast as you can

Well still pretty good year

 

Maybe a bright sandy beach

is gonna bring you 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

Somthimes he's aware that they're drawing him in

Lucy was pretty your best friend agreed

Well still pretty good year

 

 

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've gotta find what you're going about things here

A few witches burning gets a little toasty here

I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

 

God sometimes you just don't come through

God sometimes you just don't come through

Do you need a women to look after you

God sometimes you just don't come through

 

Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand

You got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case

Heard yoou 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 women to look after you

God sometimes you just don't come through

 

 

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 is on its way

 

And through the walls they made their mudpies

I've got your mind I said

She said I've got your voice

I said you don't need my voice girl

you have your own

but you never thought it was enough of

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 is 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 is 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

 

 

PAST THE MISSION

 

I don't believe I went too far

I said I was willing willing 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 better better

Everyone wanted something from him

I did too but I shut my mouth

He just gave me a smile

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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 LA

He says that behind my eyes I'm hiding

and he tells me I pushed him away

That my hearts been hard to find

 

Here

There must be something here

There must be something here

 

Baker baker can you explain

if truly his heart was made of icing

and I wonder how mine could 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 his turn this time

 

Time

Thought I'd made 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 okay

If you see him say hi

 

 

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 you can

He called her up and he said the new prosecutor

will soon be wanting a word so

She's got a soft spot for heels and spurs and

there's somthing believin in her voice again said

there's somethin 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

instead of just leavin

 

She said it's time I open my eyes

Dont' be afraid to open your eyes

Maybe she's right maybe she's right

Maybe she's right maybe she's right

 

 

THE WAITRESS

 

So I want to kill this waitress

She's worked here 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 a club sandwich

 

But I believe in peace

I believe in peace, bitch

I belive in peace

 

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

 

 

CORNFLAKE GIRL

 

Never was a cornflake girl

Thought that was a good solution

Hangin with the raison 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

You bet your life it is

You bet your life

Peel out the watchword

Just peel out the watchword

 

She knows what's goin 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

You bet your life it is

You bet your life

Peel out the watchword

Just peel out the watchword

 

Never was a cornflake girl

Thought that was a good solution

 

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

Rabbit where'd you put the keys

 

And the man with the golden gun

thinks he knows so much thinks he knows so much yeah

and the man with the golden gun

thinks he knows so much thinks he knows so much yeah

 

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

 

 

ICICLE

 

Icicle icicle where are you going

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

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 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 the word

Feel it

 

I could have I should have

I could have flown away

I could have I should have

I didn't so

 

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

Lay down gonna lay down

 

 

CLOUD ON MY TONGUE

 

Someone's knocking 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 doin

What you're doin 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 tatoo

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 tatoo

I'm already in

Circles and circles and circles again

The girl's in circles and circles and circles again

Circles and circles and circles again

The girl's in circles and circles and circles again

 

Someone's knocking on the kitchen door

Leave the wood outside

All the girls here are freezing cold

You can go now

You can go now

 

You're already in there

I'll be wearing your tatoo

You're already in there

 

Thought I was over the brige now

over the bridge now

I'm already in

circles and circles and circles again

The girl's in circles and circles and

Got to stop spinning

Circles and circles and circles again

The girl's in circles and circles and circles again well

 

 

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 lie

 

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 most know the ending

Is she still pissing in the river now

Heard she'd gone moved into a trailer park

 

So sure we were on something

[So sure those girls now are in the Navy]

Your feet are finally on the ground

[Those bombs our friends can't even hurt you now]

So sure we were on something

[And hold those tears cause their still on your side]

Your feet are just on the ground girl

[Don't hear the dogs barking]

So sure we were on something

[Don't say you know we're gone Andromeda]

Your feet are 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]

 

 

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

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 bloods on my hands

It's kind of a shame cause I did like that dress

It's funny the things you find in the rain

The things that you find

in the mall and in the date-mines

in the knot still in hair

on the bus I'm on my way down

All the girls seem to be there

 

We'll see how brave you are

We'll see how fast you'll be running

We'll see how brave you are

We'll see

We'll see how brave you are

We'll see how fast you'll be running

You'll see how brave you are

Yes, Anastasia
