Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (see 'Covers'), Merman,
Never Seen Blue, Purple People (Christmas in Space)

bachelorette
you climb on rooftops and you
bachelorette
you can turn dust into champagne
you even dream about his name

bachelorette
the graves are painted painful
bachelorette
you tried to show him that you can
but you can never rush a man
you must remember
you're a car girl you're a star girl
you are at the door
the tide will turn
there's a window
there's a window

yeah, you climb on rooftops and you
you tried to show him that you can
but you can never rush a man
yeah, no, say, bachelorette
the things you do girls to your bachelorettes
you thought that

you must remember
you're a car girl, you're a star girl
you are at the door
the tide will turn
there's a window
there's a window

bachelorette
you fly alone and then you cry sometimes
there's nothing like it in the world
you'll go to Paris on your own
oh, just bachelorette
you climb on rooftops and you
bachelorette
you can turn dust into champagne
you even

Beulah Land
Got a wasted gun
Liberation man
Some you are sometimes
Got something in that saying
Beulah girl
You better hitch me up

Got some candy
And sweet saying
Give me religion
And a lobotomy
Beulah land
Beautiful home
Tell me when
I don't need you anymore

Said that somewhere
You're gonna get something
You're so
You're right in the middle
And then I'm you
Something is coming back again
I said you
Maybe I don't wanna go
To where you're not
So...

Beulah land
Find me one
Place to be
Is by your
Gotta rubber ball
And a crocidile
Gonna float
And pass your home

And say when, just
Say when, just
Say when...

Maybe I didn't like to hear
but I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead
so then i thought I'd make some plans
but fire thought she'd really rather be water instead

and Peggy got a message for me from Jesus
and I've heard every word that you have said
and I know I have been driven like the snow
but this is cooling faster than I can
this is cooling faster than I

but do I hate what she is
or do I want to be her
and don't we love something fresh
anything new, a virgin

woman you've got too many brambles
hanging onto these bushes
woman you've got too many brambles
but I always liked a good storm
and always good for a storm

so then love walked up to like
and said I know that you don't like me much
let's go for a ride
this ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree
and is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses
these, yes, these kisses

and Peggy got a message for me from Jesus
and I've heard every word that you have said
and I know I have been driven like the snow
but this is cooling faster than I can
hey faster than i can
hey this is cooling
this is cooling

go to bed
the priests are dead
now no one can call you back
go to bed
the priests are dead
finally you're on peppermint
at last

he's a merman
he doesn't need your voice
he's a merman

go to bed
dream instead
and you will find him
he's a merman to the knee
doesn't need something you're not willing to give
he's a merman
doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice

go to bed
priests are dead
now no one can call you back
go to bed
the priests are dead
finally you found out

who could ever say you're not simply wonderful
who could ever harm you
sleep now
you're my little girl

go to bed
priests are dead
and come sing it all again

go to bed
past the apple orchard
and you'll feel nice
two can play i said
two can play

Never Seen Blue
the parts in italics i'm not sure of

Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator
Gotta a little red light
That tells you, boy, where the razor's been.

You said, girl if you think
You can turn that violator
You'll finally be that woman, yes
Finally be that woman
That's been frozen in the pretty silver gown

And I've never seen blue
Like a blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
I said I've never seen eyes
like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Some boy you are are
To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
And wear it like a lady
Who knows how to cross her legs
Where the purty's been

I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives In and around and though me again
Said i've never seen eyes
like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Through me again
Sad now that I am
Say goodbye to the rosewood
Sad...

Purple People (Christmas in Space)

well hey do you do judo when they surround you
a little mental yoga will they disappear
it's grim but never dubious as motives go
no matter what it takes she promises a show

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me

i watch me be this other thing and never know
if i'm marooned or where the purple people go
and lily white matricide from vicious words
it doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these girls are here for her, for you, for me

and don't you know the nurses make you clear
just when they've escaped you have yourself to fear
a restaurant that never has to close
breakfast every hour it could save the world

so hey do you do judo in your finery
an angel's face is tricky to wear constantly

thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loud as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me

for her, for her
