Winner's Blues
(Thurston)

before
in right away
go out not today
move back along wait a long, long time
nothing running free
gotta time it all
run out the door
come back when you score
new times will come
and you will see a door
into all yr life
Yeh, now i’m gone
and it’s out
and it’s not what you thought it was about

but a life
that you know
will keep you bound in
sometimes you win
sometimes you lose
sometimes you gotta spill the news for me

i could run away
a long time to stay
burn out yr eyes
burn out surprise
look out today
you know it’s not the same
it’s all the rage
it’s every day
and it’s out
and it’s not what you thought it was about
but a life
that you know
will keep you round in love

Bull In The Heather
(Kim)

10 20 30 40
Tell me that you wanna hold me
Tell me that you wanna bore me
Tell me that you gotta show me
Tell me that you need to slowly
Tell me that yr burning for me
Tell me that you can’t afford me
Time to tell yr dirty story
Time turning over and over
Time turning four leaf clover

Betting on the Bull in the Heather

10 20 30 40
Tell me that you wanna scold me
Tell me that you adore me
Tell me that you’re famous for me
Tell me that yr gonna score me
Tell me that you gotta show me
Tell me that you need to sorely
Time to tell yr love story
Time turning over and over
Time turning four leaf clover

Betting on the Bull in the Heather

Starfield Road
(Thurston)

Turbo goes to rocket
Put yr kiss in my hand
Sinsate yr belly down
Well, bend down round this garbage can
Plow pound down dirty Starfield Road
Hot ham slap it muscle skin jam load
Blam bam I transplode you to the lamb
Jesus is screaming yr name
Uh, violent loving, yeh, uh, kissing golden
We’re going insane
But where is the shame
When the stuck pig is to blame
"Ai ye butt cheecks cain’t be tamed
As I splooey m’name in flame"

Self-Obsessed And Sexxee
(Thurston)

I remember when you first arrived
Magic marker on yr belly button, all right (all right)
I read what you said you said drop dead oh no (oh no)
I need you now cuz I know you got nowhere to go

Schizo-action baby create a scene
I’m the type of guy to boost yr self-esteem
We party all night cuz it’s you you you everyday
Self obsessed and sexxee all the way

I remember yer bloody trail to the top (the top)
Took it all too far now you just can’t stop (don’t stop)
I’ll help collect yr soul from the lost and found (it’s around)
And I will build you up while they put you down

Schizo-action baby create a scene
I’m the type of guy to boost yr self-esteem
We party all night cuz it’s you you you everyday
Self obsessed and sexxee all the way (all the way)

Party party party party all the time
Party party party party all the time
Party party party party all the time
Party party party party all the time

Bone
(Kim)

Wooh

Dry as a bone
Take it to heart
Don’t look back
You are the one
That’s alright
Straight from the bone
Walk on by
Look to the left
Touched by no one
That’s alright
That’s alright
Dark as ink
You are the one
Lord just thirteen
No matter fun
Truth never seen
Dry as a bone
Dry as a bone
Hands in yr pants
Tied to a tree
Rocked back and forth
Hips in the leaves
Thighs in the bark
Make me free
That’s alright

Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
You are the one
Don’t look back
Strength from the heart
Walk on by
That’s alright
That’s alright
The white boy say
Yr just fine
1st to the last
Take it okay
Momma don’t know
Walk straight by
Look to the left

You are the one
Poor little bone
Shiver inside
Fast talking walk
Bone girl, go inside
That’s alright
That’s alright
Don’t look back
Push yr hips up
Yr gonna be free
Just for a while

Androgynous Mind
(Thurston)

Hey, Sad angel walks
And he talks like a girl
Out trying to think
Why it stinks he’s not a girl
Now he’s kicked in the gut
They fucked him up - just enough
Got me down on my knees
I kiss his ring
God is love

Quest For The Cup
(Kim)

Yr the thrill of a million
Walking down the sidewalk
I feel like an alarm clock
Woke up and dressed up
Don’t look like a t-shirt
I feel just like a donut
Come and take the trash out
What’s the use of crying?
Don’t look like a bra
Feel just like a burger
Can I make him like me?
Do you feel like I do?
Don’t look like a slip skirt
I feel just like a poser
I don’t look like an angel
I guess I’ll put some jeans on
Make my lips look redder
Drew you still look better

This is for Lisa

Ran away to the west
Faxed my mom for the test
Couldn’t stay for the rest
Then I met him Jess
He is just the best
We kissed right under a tree
I felt so salty free
I felt so salty free
I felt nothing like me

So salty free

All your dreams will come true
All my dreams came true
But now I have a bunch of other dreams
Da Dant
This is gonna be so high

So salty free

Back To The Top

Waist
(Thurston)

Guess who came round today?
X.girl and the girl snoo-pee
Twinkle toes and sparkle eyes
Everything is a new surprise

They’re gonna spend some super-cash
Spend it all on the boy-smash
And all the glamour is all the time
Silver jacket and a twist of lime

Well, hope you don’t waste away
Yeh, hope you don’t waste away
Yeh better not waste away
Oh yeh, don’t waste away

I’ve seen it happen before
Girl slipping out the door
Sneaking into Agnes B.
Throw away everything

You better not waste away
You better not waste away
You better not waste away
You better not waste away, now

Walk up to her and say
I’d love you anyway
A sweet subtle super style
Wonder how to make an angel smile

Don’t let me waste away
Don’t let me waste away
Don’t let me waste away
Don’t let me waste away

Wow

Doctor's Orders
(Kim)

Take one
To come
Doctor’s orders
No more borders

Fake one
Make some
Feeling bolder
No more disorder

Mother’s not to blame
She’s feeling no pain
Doesn’t feel the drain
She says it’s not her brain

All right
No wrong
She used to be cleanin'
Now she’s just dreamin'

She’s right
Yr wrong
She thinks it’s the weather
Feels light as a feather

Mother’s such a mess
She forgot how to dress
She thinks she’s lookin' her best
She’s no longer depressed

Take one
Bake one
Used to be tragic
Now it’s like magic

Just one
For fun
Mother’s new pet
Is not hard to get

Mother came home today
Wearing a big bouquet
She threw herself away
She’s taking up Spanish olé

Tokyo Eye
(Thurston)

Tokyo eye
Tokyo crying somewhere
Seeking inside
Supermen sighing nowhere
Seven two nine
Luck is around the sun bear
Fur in the night
Kansai woman goes out
Soak in the eye
Osaka crying for you
Ship in the light
Sing in the water sun dew
Ticket to die
Ticket to ride the junk star
Shielded in white
A Kansai girl in black dew

Tokyo eye
Tokyo crying somewhere
Seeking inside
Supermen sighing nowhere
Soaking in my eye
Soaking in my eye grey leaf
She dig to cry
She dig to cry love funny
Fur in the eye
Kansai girl is kiss teen
Fun in the light
Crying away to sun bear

In The Mind Of The Bourgeois Reader
(Thurston)

Seaside lover gonna rock the boat
Gonna roll it up fat superdope
Yeh, pass it around or stick it on a pin
Boojie lover with the bunny skin

My plastic lady here’s a glitter roll
Straight from my heart thru thy soul
Yeh, I don’t care about your dirty hair
All praise due queen and Yogi Bear

Said get back in the boat, yeh

Vicarious pleasure in my brain
Fantastic life never the same
Identity come set it free
Come set me out to mystery

A mister e-mind, yeh

Silly rabbit trix are for kids
Yr carrot soufflee’s got me on the skids
But I don’t care about dirty hair
Got a fuzzy finger miss bunny tail

Hip hop till you drop
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop,
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop

Sweet Shine
(Kim)

I hear my angel mountain baby
Pretend to everlast a lady
Marlboro beltbuckle baby
They told me you were just crazy

I feel that I could burst
Gimme a little drink of yr sweet time
Is it the way you think
Or just a pattern of yr glory?

Is it just some story?
You wrote all for me
You think you’re my home
Deep down you’re just a little whorey

I know you
I’m from you
I know you
I’m from you

Whooooooh
I’m coming home to Swall Drive

Cowboys are languishing
Little girl's are bees
Is it really a green stage coach
Crawling up to me?

I dreamt that you are my vacation
Woke up to find desire and dislocation
Your always heavy in rotation
Coming on, flirting with the nation

I feel that I could burst
Gimme a little drink of yr sweet shine
Why is the way you grew
Still leave so wanting you?

Smelling the nite jasmine
Hypnotizes me
The flower tells me stories
That makes me so sick and free

I know you
I’m from you
I know you
I’m from you

Whooooooh
I’m coming home to Swall Drive

Alice is a chain store
Down past 1st and Vine
You can shop there anytime
It’s all very fine

Look his hair is colored
Do you think he grows?
Look it’s changing colors
It’s bigger than a rose

Look it’s changing colors
It’s bigger than a rose

Look it’s changing colors
It’s bigger than a rose

Look it’s changing colors
It’s bigger than a rose

Look it’s changing
