1. It's All True (Evan Dando)

I haven't cried baby since I learned to talk haven't fallen down since I learned to walk And I don't get bored watchin' the tube And I never had a rock in my shoe And if I tried baby would you mess me 'round Would we both get bored by the simple sound Sorry bout' droppin that lude It just seemed like the best thing to do It's all true I got me and she's got you we got time to share a few you never get me down when I'm feeling blue and when I tell you lies you won't believe they're true and I really shold be on my way think I'm gonna stick around all day It's all true I got me and she's got you but we got time to parachute I don't wake up with a sudden start with some empty arms and a broken heart and I don't get bored watchin' the tube

 

2. If I Could Talk I'd Tell You (Evan Dando and Eugene Kelley)

Half past 9 quarter to 10 10:15 and we're comin' around again hold off are we going soft? flushed my Zoloft and we're comin' around again found out and I almost drowned walked back down and we're comin' around again If I could talk I'd tell you If I could smile I'd let you know If I could talk I'd tell you Khmer Rouge genocide gua your place or Mein Kamph now I'm givin the dog a bone slight hunch without the vaugest clue to keep the blood balanced noe we're comin around again to 1/2 past 9 quarter to 2 10:15 now we're comin' around again If I could talk I'd tell you If I could smile I'd let you know If I could talk I'd tell you (repeat) If I could talk I'd tell you If I could smile I'd let you know you are far and away my most imaginary friend

 

3. Break me (Evan Dando)

Speak so softly and lowly like you want me to hear and It just shows to me no need to speak speak clear you're away on a movie I want you to Be Be you're away on a painting and I want you to be and It just ain't worth waiting for what I don't want to see you're away on a painting It don't bother me me me me come on baby say you don't hate me grape leaf stay fair save me startin' all over heather clover come over rover break me break me break me break me speak so softly and lowly like you want me to hear

 

4. Hospital (Evan Dando)

There's a disease goin' round the hospital green green leaves fallin' from the trees green green leaves fallin' from the trees you gotta run away you gotta spin a web you gotta stay out late you gotta stay in bed

 

5. The Outdoor Type (Tom Morgan)

Always had a roof above me always paid the rent and I never set foot inside a tent couldn't build a fire to save my life I lied about being the outdoor type I never slept out underneath the stars the closest that I came to that was one time my car broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night I lied about being the outdoor type too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for I lied untill I fit the bill God bless the great indoors I lied about being the outdoor type I never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend what if somethings on TV and it's never shown again It's just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights I lied about being the outdoor type never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight I lied about being the outdoor type

6. Losing Your Mind (Evan Dando)

What a comfort to find out you're losing your mind when you re-realize that It's not the first time burnt the beyond when you learned how to fly just to learn later on that there isn't a sky there aren't any clouds and there aren't any trees and there aren't any birds and there's no cinder caught in my eye til' I've tied a tired knot and tried to untie It I just can't decide If I should lie or tell the truth and try to hide it

 

7. Somethings Missing (Evan Dando)

It's no trick to decide on your own you feel it when you feel fine later on a shower you can't depend on at all It's too hot then It's too cold then It's warm somethings missing something's missing something's missing from my life somethin's missing from my life the things I don't multiply and divide when I just can't decide been here before It's gonna come back again been here before It's gonna come back my friend something's missing something's missing something's missing something's missing from my life I ain't quiet deep inside I ain't even on my side Something's missing from my life there's nowhere I really wanted to stay and nothing really makes it OK nothing really makes it OK there's nowhere I really wanted to stay something's missing something's missing something's missing

 

8. Knoxville Girl (Traditional, arranged by Evan Dando)

I met a little girl in Knoxville a town we all know well and every Sunday evening out in her home I'd dwell we went to take an evening walk about a mile from town I picked a stick up off the grownd and beat that fair girl down she fell down on her bended knee for mercy she did cry Oh Willy dear don't kill me I'm unprepared to die she never spoke another word I only beat her more untill the ground around us with all her blood did pour I took her by her golden curls and drug her 'round and 'round throwing her into the river that flows through Knoxville town go down go down you Knoxville girl with the dark and rolling eye go down go down you can never be my bride I headed back to Knoxville got there about midnight my mother she was worried and woke up in a fright saying dear son what have you done to bloody your clothes so I told my anxious mother I was bleeding out my nose I called for a candle to light myself to bed I called for me a hankerchief to bind my aching head rolled and tumbled the whole night through as troubles was for me like flames of hell around my bed and in my eyes could see they carried me down to Knoxville and they put me in a cell my friends all tried to get me out but none could go my bail I'm here to watse my life away down in this dirty old jail because I murdered that Knoxville girl the girl I loved so well

 

9. 6ix (Evan Dando)

Here comes Gwyenth's head here comes Gwyeneth's head in a box Soupy Sales my friend here comes Gwyeneth's head skip stevenson's dead all flesh is grass finish your paella

 

10. C'mon Daddy (Evan Dando and Epic Soundtracks)

I feel like Steven is my father and I don't know why but I realized it when I looked in his eyes I feel like Steven is my daddy and It ain't no lie I wanna hold you 'till the end of time so come on daddy run into my arms come on daddy wanna feel your charms come on daddy run into my arms I wanna hold you 'till the end of time didn't know I was your baby til the age of nine didn't know i was your babe for such a long time but something inside of me made me realize something inside of me told me you were mine so come on daddy run into my arms come on daddy wanna feel your charms come on daddy so come on daddy run into my arms I wanna hold you I wanna hold you I wanna hold you 'til the end of time it's never to late to find out or too late to know and now we're back in the saddle we're starting we're starting to grow

 

11. One More Time (Evan Dando)

One more time baby one more time you're thinking of me baby one more time one more time baby one more time you were above me baby one more time one more time baby one more time do you have to say you love me baby one more time one more time baby one more time one more time baby one more time

 

12.Tenderfoot (Tom Morgan and Evan Dando)

This is the place where I save face this is the spot where I jump off this is the bar where I lose heart over the pain and I'm past the bleeding It's not the tracks It's where They're leading this is my best King Carniubre this is my scream It's just a dull roar these are my hands I've shown you before It's irrelevant I'm an elephant she's a mouse
