Save It For Later [The (English) Beat]

Two dozen other billion lovers,
But I'll be a sucker for it.
Don't you cry to your mother,
Just hold my hand while
I come to a decision on it.
Sooner or later,
You'll live the way you think about.
Save it for later,
Don't runaway, don't let me down.
Sooner or later,
You'll hit the ditch, and he'll find out.
Save it for later, don't
Runaway, runaway... [~20X]

Saying No! [Improv]

He says to her he wants it easy.
He expects her to be easy.
He wants it to be easy.
But she says no.
But she says no, I don't want to.
She says no, she says no, I don't want to
He expects it to be easy...

But she says stop, you gotta stop.
When he says go, you still gotta stop.

When she says stop, you gotta stop.
When he says go, you still gotta stop.
[3X]

He wants it... he wants it...
So badly he wants, he wants it...
But she says no... she says no...
She says, 'Go to hell if that's all you want me for'...
She says no...

When she says no, you gotta stop.
When he says go, you still gotta stop.
When she says no, you gotta stop.
When he says go, you still gotta stop...

[ Suggestion:]
She did nothing to deserve it.
He just wants, he wants to observe it.
We sit back like they taught us.
Keep quiet like they taught us.
He does nothin' to remove it.
He's touches her `cause he wants to prove it.
We sit back like they taught us.
Keep quiet just like they taught us.
He just wants, he wants to prove it.
He's touches her...she don't remove it.
We sit back like they taught us.
Like they taught us, like they taught us...

Seven Years Waiting [11/1/95; Improv]

I'll dream a dream of you tonight...
I'll see a picture of you in my head tonight...
If I can't hear you, oh in real life,
I'll make it up all my life...
Tonight I'll dream only of you...
I got off of the ground...
Oh how it seemed tonight...
These moments slip away...
All the days so great...great...

Seven years gone by now...
Oh, still it's in my eyes...
I'll walk away... walk away..
You're just about to miss the
Best part of it all...of it all...
of it all....of it all...

Sheraton Gibson [Pete Townsend]

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And boy, do I want to go home...
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And boy, do I feel all alone...

Cleveland, ho! Evil on my mind...
Cleveland, ho! I wish I was home this time...
Don't want to be unkind...

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And thinking about a Sunday barbecue...
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
In my mind is a Cleveland afternoon...

Cleveland, ho! Evil on my mind...
Cleveland, ho! I wish I was home this time...
Don't want to be unkind...

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And boy, do I want to go home...

The Ship Song [6/20/95; Nick Cave]

Come sail your ships around me,
And burn your bridges down.
You're a mystery, baby,
Everytime you come around.
Come loose your dogs upon me,
And let your hair hang down.
You're a mystery to me,
Everytime we come around.
We talk about it all night long.
We date on moral ground.
When I walk into your arms,
Everything comes tumbling down.

Come lose your ships around me,
And burn your bridges down...

Sick of Pussies [Bad Radio]

[Lyrics from Crossroads: The Unofficial Bad Radio Website]

Alright, here's a message for the pro-life pussies:
My body's nobody's body but mine
You run your own body, let me run mine

Jumbalama
I'm sick
Sick of pussies
Sick of pussies in my way
I'm sick
Sick of pussies
Sick of seein' pussies every day
Rich pussies
Pretty white pussies
Never seen a workin' day

I'm sick
Sick of pussies
Sick of pussies, sing with me

Fuck that pussy shit.
I'm a workin' man,
Got blood on my fingers
Got cracks in my hands
Gotta --- today, gotta pay to play
I'm sick of these pussies
Fuckin with me!
Fuck that pussy shit
Fuck that pussy shit.
I'm sick
Sick of pussies
Sick of pussies in my way
I'm sick
Sick of pussies
Sick of seein' pussies every day
Rich pussies
Pretty white pussies
Never seen work before

I'm sick
Sick of pussies (x2)
Sick with me

Fuck that pussy shit
Fucka fucka fucka fucka fucka
Fuck that pussy shit
Let's fuck 'em
Just fuck 'em
Fuck that pussy shit

Some People* [2/6/95; Improv]

There are some people in this world
That I don't mind waiting around for,
And certain people come down.
I don't mind waiting around,
Oh, I wish they wouldn't take their time.
All the love I have is theirs,
But if they want to take it all,
And as we understand what life is worth...

Some people I don't mind waiting around for... (x3)
Some people, some people...

Sonic Reducer [The Dead Boys]

I don't need anyone. Don't need no mom and dad.
Don't need no good advice. Don't need no human rights.
I got some news for you...don't even need you too.

I got my time machine. Got my 'lectronic dream.
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser.
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

People out on the streets, they don't know who I am.
I watch them from my room, they are just passing by.
I'm not just anyone...said I'm not just anyone.

I got my time machine. My little 'lectronic dream.
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser.
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

Nothing left here...There's not really nothing left here.
I'll be your pharoah soon. Love on some cotton doom.
Things will be different then. The sun will rise from here.
Then I'll be ten feet tall. Then you'll be nothing at all.

I got my time machine. Got my 'lectronic dream.
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser.
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer.

So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star [11/04/95; The Byrds]

So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star?
Well listen now to what I say.
Get yourself an electric guitar,
Create a sound...learn how to play.
And with a satellite,
And your pants so tight,
It's gonna be all right.

You paid for the riches and fame.
It's a vicious game, but you gotta stay sane.
What you get is the most for your fame,
Don't forget who you are,
You're a rock 'n' roll star!
(Na na na na na...)

Now you're ready to go downtown
And see the agent man, he won't let you down.
Sell your soul to the company.
Gonna see my plan selling plastic ware.
And if you pull so hard,
I wanna leave myself,
I wanna take you far(tear you apart?).

(Now...)
Gold digger's job is to go downtown
To the agent man, no he won't let you down.
Sell your soul to the company.
They're all waiting there to sell plastic ware.
(Na na na na na na...
Na na na na na...[2X])

Come in...get up...this is downtown...
It's been nice...come in...come on up...
This is your chance to get up...
Now come on up...
Come up... [3X]

(Na na na na na na na... [2X])

Think about it!

Street Fighting Man* [Vedder Solo; by Rolling Stones]

[Lyrics from Crossroads: The Unofficial Bad Radio Website]

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, oh boy
Cause summer's here, and the time is right for fighting in the street, oh boy
But what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
No

Hey! Think the time is right for a palace revolution
But where I live the game to play is compromise solution
Well, then what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's no place for a street fighting man
No

Hey! Said my name is called disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants
Well, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's no place for a street fighting man
No

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea-yea-yo! (X4)

Stuff and Nonsense 1 (original) [Split Enz]

Disobey my own decisions, I deserve all your suspicion.
First it's yes and then it's no, I dilly dally down to duo.
But I got no secrets that I babble in my sleep,
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep.

And you know that I love you here and now, not forever.
I can give you my presents, I don't know about the future.
That's all stuff and nonsense.

I once lived for the future, every day seemed one day closer.
Greener on the other side, this I believed before I met you.
I soon learned your love burned brighter than the stars in my eyes.
Now I know how and when, I know where and why.

And you know that I love you here and now, not forever.
I can give you the present, I don't know about the future.
That's all stuff and nonsense.

And you know that I love you here and now, not forever.
I can give you my present, I don't know about the future.

Suggestion [Fugazi]

Why can't I walk down the street free of suggestion? [2x]

She does nothing to deserve it.
He only wants, he wants to observe it.
We sit back like they taught us.
Keep quiet like they taught us.

He just wants, he wants to prove it.
She does nothing to remove it.
We don't want anyone to mind us.
Play the role that they've assigned us.

She does nothing to conceal it.
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it.
We blame her for being there.
[But we are all here. We are all guilty.]

Swallow My Pride [Green River]

She looked at me with dignity, said
"There's something you got to see,
If you know we're headed for war,
This country's prouder than ever before.
Yes there's a spirit in the air,
We're more American than anywhere."

Well I just smiled 'cause I could tell
This little girl's going to Hell.

Now I wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride.
Would make me feel alright, deep inside...feel alright.

All the warmth in her heart
Can't keep my blood from running cold.
First I fell for her looks
Now I just wanna go for the throat.
I tried to tell her a hundred times
This little girl didn't understand at all.
Pride comes before a fall.

Now I wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride.
Make me feel alright, deep inside...feel alright.

This ain't the Garden of Eden.
This ain't the Summer of Love.
Things ain't what they used to be.
There ain't no angels above.

Ain't the Garden of Eden.
Ain't no angels above.
Things ain't what they used to be.
This ain't the Summer of Love.
