LYRICS

Unauthorized duplication, performance or recording is strictly forbidden.

None

Pick me up, don’t you let me down.
I don’t need no one else around.
Me, myself - we get along fine,
without you distracting my mind.
I don’t need no second hand love.
I don’t need prescription drugs.

What I want, you can’t get.
What I need, I try to forget.

Life don’t wear like a brand new coat.
It don’t read like no lover’s note.
Seems to me like a carnival -
a losing game for the gullible.
I don’t need no air guitar.
Don’t wanna be no megastar.

Another day, nothing new to say.
I don’t care to speak anyway.
Met a girl, was in and out.
I don’t care what it was all about.
I don’t need no second hand love.
I don’t need prescription drugs.

Sometime Yesterday

I knew sometime yesterday why she came.
She knew when the clouds were gonna give rain.
I knew sometime then, that she was not his friend.
I just didn’t know where and when I should end.
And I’ll never call on her to play again.

I knew sometime yesterday why she sang.
She came to me yeah and she sang.
It was Jack and Jill, or the fool on the hill,
the birds and bees, the days between.
Oceans can seem blue or seem green.
Children should be heard and not seen.

I knew sometime yesterday that the bells rang.
Could not escape - stay, go insane.
Find me there in the feeding chair.
No misery, just misfortunes to be.
Smoothie, can you err, just like me?
Forgiving’s for “Divines” not for me.

I knew sometime yesterday why she came.
She knew when the clouds were gonna give rain.
I knew sometime then, that she was not his friend.
I just didn’t know where and when I should end.
And I’ll never call on her to play again.

H.A.H.D.

Hoezo was smart, -ope hid the instrument
Big ears at first, he practiced Maybelline
You walk alone, but still a glimmer twin
The maple leaf reds found some heroine

Drink a fifth of bourbon, yeah you've got the silver
That watch is gold

Dog, you're rock n' roll to me

I talked to Bert, talked to Charles Berry
I talked to Spike, I can't hear you speak
Licks the guitar, feel the tele
Groovin' on up, behind the skull ring

Play that vintage five string, yeah you've got the silver
That watch is gold

Bringin' out the dirty, yeah you've got the silver
That watch is gold

I'm THE Man

I'm brave & look so good
I am strong I can & would
I've been told by more than a few
"Thanks for makin love to me from night till noon,"

I'm a man, oh yes child, I'm the man
Do anything I wanna do
Cause I'm the man

I believe in myself
Don't listen to no one else
I'm bad always clean
All these little girls tryin' to get in my routine

I think for myself
Don't wanna hear no one else

I'm smooth I'm a king
Women get in line to do just anything

You know
I said, you know
I'm the man

Guardian Angel

I’ve scaled the sides of mountains and I’ve stuck my hands in fire.
I’ve shot myself from cannons and I’ve balanced on the wire.
Drank my share of poison to roam over the land.
Stood there in the desert with a six-piece in my hand.

Not a time to worry, not a thought nor a prayer.
Somehow I knew my guardian angel will be there.

Seen girls work magic and watched friends disappear.
Much too dumb to figure what was courage and what was fear.
With the bombs still falling I could sleep through the night.
Stuck inside this battle between the wrong and the right.

Everything will work out, even the pants with the tear.
Somehow I know my guardian angel will be there.

Could you hear me knocking on your window tonight?
I could hear you breathing even though you’re not in sight.
Should I go and give up what I have to follow you?
Risk my life to find out will this be the one that’s true.

But tonight I’ll be here with a cigar in my chair.
Somehow I know my guardian angel will be there.

Somehow I know my guardian angel will be there.
Somehow I know my guardian angel will be there.

Sweet Potato Pie

I see you movin' there
Run my fingers through your hair
I go crazy, go insane
Shake that thing
Wreck my brain, yeah

Sweet potato pie, I like it, like it, like it
Sweet potato pie, tastes so good

Anyday anytime
I can let you be all mine
In an hour at my place
Hell you won't see my face

Sit right down on my knee
Let's get footloose fancy-free
Ragin' fire lick your finger
Be my baby, come right in here

First Thoughts

When I wake up, in the morning time-
grab my coffee cup, and glance at the time.
I could see you smiling, and then I would smile too.
‘Cause when I wake up, first thoughts are thought of you.

When I go outside, and the day’s still young-
sure my truck’s been primed, and the songs to be sung.
I could make you laugh, and then I would laugh too.
‘Cause when I go outside, girl, first thoughts are thought of you.

When I leave to go home, and the day’s all through-
rub my head for awhile, from all the things I do.
I could hear you listen, and then I’d listen too.
‘Cause when I leave to go home, first thoughts are thought of you.

When I lie in my bed, sometimes I’ll stop and pray-
or just relive some moments, change things I’d like to say.
I could feel you hold me, and then I’d hold you too.
‘Cause when I lie in my bed, first thoughts are thought of you.

And when you are here, life’s troubles run away-
so nice to leave for awhile, and do another day.
I could hear you tell me (right before I tell you),
how much I missed you all day, and how much I do love you.

Stuck in the Mud

What is wrong with the day to day things you do to me, huh?
What is black what is white but what does it mean to me?
One is one two is two but all I do I can't get through to you
Mine is mine what is yours is what's mine is what am I?

I can't seem to get through to you in daylight
Try and wait for the night won't be right, but

Pride! You got me stuck in the mud
Time! You got me stuck in the mud
Wine! You got me stuck in the mud

All these things that I say but you go your own way
My pain doesn't phase you when it doesn't come from you... within
Gonna try gonna try tell me why I believe you my, friend
We don't care anyway I just wanna go play, pretend

What they say what they do are two and too afraid
Drink my time spend my wine while you whine and whine and whine
Don't come near don't be far don't black out the stars today
I still feel incomplete lost me out on the streets, she came

I can't seem to get through to you in daylight
Try and wait for the night won't be right, but

Pride! You got me stuck in the mud
Time! You got me stuck in the mud
Wine! You got me stuck in the mud
Cryin'! You got me stuck in the mud

I'm Going Home

Please tell me what’s going on here.
I only need some matches and beer.
Just show me where is the door.
‘Cause I don’t wanna be here no more.

I’m going home, I’m going home.

Please tell me what’s wrong and what’s right.
You know she’s not gonna be here all night.
I’ve told you there was no way,
that I was gonna sit here and stay.

I’m going home, I’m going home.

Please tell me she’ll be here again.
I don’t need to talk or find me a friend.
Pick yourself up off of the floor.
Some piece is all you live for.

I’m going home, I’m going home.

Please tell me what I gotta do.
To ensure that it gets seen through.
Put on the Fab’s “Twist and Shout”.
You know it’s all we’ll laugh about.

I’m going home, I’m going home.

Zero

No walk, not a smile
No fault, told me it's mine
And I'm, going to lie
of you, movin' the stone

It's not your thoughts and we're gone
You're in my thoughts but it's gone
I love when you sing but it's gone
When time is lone

But I, feel this way
A song, smitten today
What height can see it
You weren't mine
You weren't there, for pain inside

As hearing, no sound
Not true, nothing today
Trumpets fill the heart
But the band's left the stage
Melancholy grey sky, silent rage
