+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 onto 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
what's it gonna take till my baby's alright
And Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen
sometimes her'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 care after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

You make pretty daisies
pretty daisies love
I gotta find what you're doing about things
here a few witches burning
gets a little toasty here
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

chorus

tell me you're crazy
maybe then I'll understand
you got your 9 iron in the backseat just in case
heard you've gone south
well babe you love your new 4 wheel
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

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

chorus


+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 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 amd 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
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
everyone wanted something from him
I did too but I shut my mouth
he just gave me a smile

chorus

Hey they found a body
not sure it was his but they're using his name
and she gave him shelter
and somewhere I know she knows
something's only she knows

chorus


+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 hear 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 ok
if yo 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 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 soon will be wanting a word
so she's got a soft spot for heels and spurs
and there's something believin in her voice again
said there's something believin
instead of just leavin
instead of just leaving
And she gets her cigars from the sweet fan 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 leaving
instead of just leaving

She said it's time I open my eyes
don't 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 want to kill this waitress
I can't believe this violence in mind
and is her power all in her club sandwich

chorus

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
ask a fellow waitress


+Cornflake Girl:

Never was a cornflake girl
thought it was a good solution
hanging 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
Peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword

She knows what's goin on
seems we got a cheaper feel now
all the sweateaze are gone
gone to the other side with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
she's putting on her string bean love

this is not really happening
you bet your life it is

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
and the man with the golden gun thinks he knows so much
thinks he knows so much
Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl


+Icicle:

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

greeting the monster in our Easter dresses
Father says bow your head like the Good Book says
well 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 say 'take of 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 pj's
lay a book on my chest
feel the word
feel the word
feel the word
feel it

I could have
I should have
I could have flown you know
I could have
I should have
I didn't so


+Cloud on my Tongue:

Someone's knockin 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'r 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 hate 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
got to stop spinning
circles and circles and circles again
thought I was over the bridge now


+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
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 the story twisted so
where's Neil when you need him
deck the halls it's you again
it's you again
somewhere someone must know the ending
is she still pissing in the river now
heard she'd gone moved into a trailer park

so sure those girls now are in the Navy
those bombs our friends can't even hurt you now
and hold those tears cause they're still on your side
don't hear the dogs barking
don't say you know we've gone Andromeda
stood with those girls before the hair in pairs
it just got nasty
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 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 missing
show me the ways I forgot to me 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 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 blood's on my hands
it's kind of a shame cause I did like that dress
it's funny the things that you find in the rain
the things that you find
in the mall and in the date-mines
in the knot still in her hair
on the bus
I'm on my way down
all the girls seem to be there

chorus

Come along now little darlin'
come along now with me
come along now little darlin'
we'll see how brave you are


.Go back to the Garden.
