Ghoti Hook - "Sumo Surprise" (TND1121)
1. Body Juggler
she can only see past certain views
she doesnt think that she will lose
and with this we just can not get along
I must admit I like her a lot
this infatuation just wont stop
and in the end I know I must be wrong
I wonder
I wonder why
I wonder
I wonder why
Indication of infatuation
complicates this situation
its making me search out a real escape
this creation of this relation
and concentration of admiration
has got me dumb and all bent out of shape
I wonder
I wonder why
I wonder
I wonder why
but Im ignorant stubborn and stupid I wont take the time to give in
to the fact that I must wait and let him show me where to begin
if I go ahead and try to find her by myself Ill make a mistake
when will I learn that this big decision is not mine to fully make
With this now that I must mention
so I can stop this stupid tension
and free myself from feeling selfish greed
my sinful motives and bad intentions
has been brought to my attention
and even though I know I deny need
I wonder
I wonder why
I wonder
I wonder why
but Im ignorant stubborn and stupid I wont take the time to give in
to the fact that I must wait and let him show me where to begin
if I go ahead and try to find her by myself Ill make a mistake
when will I learn that this big decision is not mine to fully make
2. Seasons
it was a soft summer night when you came into my life
i thought it was a dream when your hand reached out for me
there was something there that I couldn't compare
and I knew that you were the only one for me
Seasons Change
Seasons Change
it was a cool autumn's eve when you sensed that i was leaving
a tear came to your eye but i just let it run dry
you said don't go away but i just left you anyway
i wasn't sure if you were the one for me
Seasons Change
Seasons Change
it was a cold winter's morning i had been up all night crying
i knew i'd done you wrong, i'd been astray for so long
i'm on my knees in pain i wish things had stayed the same
and i just hope that you will take me back
Seasons Change
Seasons Change
It was a warm spring night when you let me back inside
i thought it was a dream but you still cared for me
your love filled my heart nothing could tear us apart
and i knew that you were the only one for me

3. South Capitol Street
If I understood back then what is so easy to see now
I could have stopped myself from falling far behind
the changes I want will only come if I can turn things down
so I search my heart where I know he lies but then I turn around
I should have walked away
I should have walked away
I should have walked away
With each passing day I feel the way I did the day before
and the things that haunt me stay the same I wont let them go
I pray and ask for help but then walk down that cursed road
where one waits with what I crave and my lusting hunger grows
I should have walked away
I should have walked away
I should have walked away
Sometimes I must give up things that I want so bad
but its these things in the end that I wish Id never had
I should have walked away
I should have walked away
I should have walked away

5. Tract Boy
I saw her there, walking on the street,
I said "excuse me there's someone you ought to meet,
you ought to meet"
she came up to me, "Watcha have to say?"
I said "Jesus" and she turned and walked away,
she walked away
and she said "no"
"and I don't even want to know"
"and I don't even want to know"
"and I don't even want to know"
I chased her down beside her on the street,
she said "oh you, I thought I left you let me be,
just leave me be."
"well just one more thing," I handed her a tract,
she took one look at it and then she turned her back,
and that was that
and she said "no"
"and I don't even want to know"
"and I don't even want to know"
"and I don't even want to know"
6. Scared Am I
She's late for the first time
she don't know where she is
she doesn't know where to go
lost in her driving, angry and crying
she don't know what she knows
how could this happen
she thought she was careful
a tear comes into her eye
now lost on a strange road
she pulls to a dead stop
she bows her head and starts to cry
She starts to cry, she says, "Scared Am I"
She gets out of her car
she steps out in the cold
and thinks of what she's been through
no one around her
no one to help her
to tell her what she should do
"am I alone now?"
"am I disowned now?"
she stares into the clouded sky
rain starts to fall down
mixing with her tears
she falls on her knees and starts to cry
She starts to cry, she says, "Scared Am I"
the rain smooth and steady
falls on to her face
the rain it seems to be quite warm
she can't help but wonder
the soft rumbling thunder
the soothing rain despite the storm
is trying to tell her
that things will be better
there's hope that springs into her eye
she knows in her future
that things will be all right
she lifts her head and starts to cry
She starts to cry, she says, "Scared Am I"
7. Samson
me and Samson go to the store
and ole Samson leaves craters in the floor
me and Samson walk around town
and clumsy Samson knocked several buildings down
me and Samson we're best of friends
me and Samson until the end
me and Samson go on a double date
but you know it didn't turn out that great
me and my date are romantically impaired
but ole Samson he lost all of his hair
me and Samson we're best of friends
me and Samson until the end
There is this girl and her name is Delilah
she's a philistine and she's such a big liar
me and Samson are no longer friends
cause ole Samson has met his end
man, I'd really hate to burst your bubble
but it goes to show you
girls are nothing but trouble
me and Samson we're best of friends
me and Samson until the end
There is this girl and her name is Delilah
she's a philistine and she's such a big liar
8. Spice Drops
Last night I laid in bed and thought about it all
what was it that had made us fall
I don't regret anything that I said to you
the choice we made was something we already knew
and I'm finding...
Yesterday you know will never go away
it's best to leave behind
if we want to find ourselves some piece of mind
Yesterday was when we were happy
for tomorrow there is hope
but today is hard and lonely so it goes
I have to set what I want for us all aside
without that it would be a lie
I know inside now where I am that this is right
from here on out it will be hard I can't deny
and I'm finding...
Yesterday you know will never go away
it's best to leave behind
if we want to find ourselves some piece of mind
Yesterday was when we were happy
for tomorrow there is hope
but today is hard and lonely so it goes
And yes I am afraid, of what I can't foresee
will you still be there?
will you be the same, will those feeling change?
these thoughts I cannot bear
Do you stop to think about a
time when we were without doubt
when love was something new and so unknown?
Can we call ourselves just friends cause
why should this just have to end
and do you know why I must be alone?
9.
God, God He sent his Son to save us from the evil one
bought by blood begotten Son for faith is free and very fun
God God God God God God God
God God God God God God God
God God God
AAGHH!
Whoo Hoo!
10. Money
my little sunshine sleeps beneath the oak
the forest denizens seem to smile
when I came near she awoke
she gazed at me with eyes of guile
we walked out to the grassy knoll
my heart runs and leaps like a deer
compared to her the fairest are droll
her singing in the breeze was all to hear, singing
I love money, money money money,
money money money, tons and tons of money,
money money money, money money money,
I love money more than my little honey
my little sunshine sleeps beneath the oak
the forest denizens seem to smile
when I came near she awoke
she gazed at me with eyes of guile
we walked out to the grassy knoll
my heart runs and leaps like a deer
compared to her the fairest are droll
her singing in the breeze was all to hear, singing
I love money, money money money,
money money money, tons and tons of money,
money money money, money money money,
I love money more than my little honey
now after hearing those words from my cutie
I was wounded and I wanted to cry
she doesn't like me or my beauty
she started singing and drew neigh
she held my hand and whispered in my ear
you're the only one for me in my life
now, how much money did you make this year
those words cut me like a butter knife
I love money, money money money,
money money money, tons and tons of money,
money money money, money money money,
I love money more than my little honey
now I was taken by a big surprise
looking at her trying to read her soul
the color of greed was in her eyes
she seemed to be under money's control
now strolling away she looked back at me
I've seen that look before
staring at her I came to see
standing in front of her she wanted money more
I love money, money money money,
money money money, tons and tons of money,
money money money, money money money,
I love money more than my little honey

11. Super Sumo
I flip the channels on TV and see some sumos on the screen
I know now what I want to be
I'll put my hair all up in braids, I'll get to eat food all the day
and for this I will get big pay
I'm a full fledged sumo wrestler wanna-be
even if you keep on making fun of me
but you know that's all I'll ever try to be
I'll be a "big" celebrity, and "big" is really what I mean
and you know that this is my dream
no one will ever pick on me, what they will feel is jealousy
when I win that champion trophy
I'm a full fledged sumo wrestler wanna-be
even if you keep on making fun of me
but you know that's all I'll ever try to be
One day I'll be there fighting for the USA
My whole country routing for me to save the day
My opponents will fight in fear when they take me on
The glorious day when I am crowned Grand Champion
I flip the channels on TV, and see some sumos on the screen
I know now what I want to be
I'll be a "big" celebrity, and "big" is really what I mean
and you know that this is my dream
I'm a full fledged sumo wrestler wanna-be
even if you keep on making fun of me
but you know that's all I'll ever try to be
Sumo...
Sumo...
Sumo...
Sumo...

crepe suzette made from insects
are things I like to put in my tummy
boys and girls you better be cautious
cause you know I'm feeling nauseous
and you know my face is turning green
14. Never
Got a phone call on this rainy night
it was a call that I'd dread for all my life
my son was driving on a winding road
when he lost control
My mind is spinning all around in circles
and I think to myself,
Never I know what tomorrow brings with it
never I know what's in store
but all I know is my faith to never lose
no never, no never
Finally get there, to the twisted wreck
I see my son with a bloody broken neck
I take his hand and place it near my heart
and his last words were,
"Don't worry dad, I'll see you someday"
and he died in my arms
Never I know what tomorrow brings with it
never I know what's in store
but all I know is my faith to never lose
no never, no never
His breath has left him, and his eyes have closed
Oh my son, now your body's growing cold
tears are pouring, falling from my face
and I shut my eyes
So sorrow starts to seep in my sad soul
so I say to myself,
Never I know what tomorrow brings with it
never I know what's in store
but all I know is my faith to never lose
no never, no never
