Bucket 03:47
I've got a bucket of dirt I've got a bucket of dirt I keep it under my shirt It don't hurt Me and my bucket of dirt I've got a bucket of lead I've got a bucket of lead I'll keep it under my bed 'Til I'm dead Me and my bucket of lead Come away, tomatillo Hey, tomatillo I will pay I've got a bucket of shit I've got a bucket of shit If you want to know why I quit Look in it Me and my bucket of shit Got a barrel of salmon Got a crate to keep ham in Got no reason to damn the things I am if you telegram Come away, tomatillo Hey, tomatillo I will pay

Entangled 04:22
Bright light never fear It won't be long, you're gonna decohere Til then you're mine Spinning with me all of the time You can run across the sky I will stand here on the ground If you go up, then I'll go down They could never ever know If you go up, then I'll go down They could never ever know That I'm entangled with you I'm entangled with you Two guys, two cabs, two on, two out, two balls, two strikes Too down in the heart Two guys, two cabs, two on, two out, two balls, two strikes Too down in the heart Two guys, two cabs, two on, two out, two balls, two strikes Too down in the heart Two guys, two cabs, two on, two out At last a silver mirror Don't look, you're gonna disappear All gone in a flash It's our loss, a total collapse You can run across the sky I will stand here on the ground If you go up, then I'll go down They could never ever know That I'm entangled with you I'm entangled with you And there's nothing I'd rather do Nothing I'd rather do

Hit On You 03:29
Another party Another place Another body Another face Another chance to see things through And when I use my eyes the only thing I see is you Hey what's your number Hey what's your sign I'm going under Throw me a line I feel so good tonight And I don't know what I want but I know what I need all right Do you mind if I hit on you? Cause you're the kind I must pursue You're looking fine and I am too So don't decline if I hit on you Your voice is sweeter than a sweet angelic choir Your body's hotter than the deepest deep fat fryer I'm going to have to buy myself some new pants cause my loins are on fire Do you mind (do you mind) if I hit on you? (if he hits on you?) Cause you're the kind (cause you're the kind) I must pursue (he must pursue) You're looking fine (you're looking fine) and I am too (and he is too) So don't decline (please don't decline) if I hit on you (if he hits on you) Do you mind (run away) if I hit on you? (if he hits on you) Cause you're the kind (the things he'll say) I must pursue (they aren't true) You're looking fine (pretend you're gay) and I am too (or you have the flu) So don't decline (just run away) if I hit on you (if he hits on you)

Parasite 02:02
You're a parasite Bugging me from noon 'til night Something isn't right And I think it's you Everybody knows you're a jezebel All that scent just makes you smell Something stinks of hell And I think it's you Everybody knows your face Everybody knows your place Everybody knows just what you are You're a little worm It makes me sick to see you squirm Someone's gonna burn And I thnk it's you Everybody knows your name Everybody knows you're lame Everybody knows you've gone too far You're a parasite Saying shit don't make it right Someone's lost this fight And I think it's you And I think it's you

43 Reasons 00:58
I looked into your eyes They danced like fireflies They're gone silently I looked into my lies And found some old goodbyes They've gone violently And I don't know what to say I miss you every day I wish we'd find a way to be
7.
Cocoon 04:29
I'll tell you what I'll wrap myself up Inside a cocoon And when it's time I'll let myself out But it won't be soon And when I do You know I'm coming straight to you I'll hibernate I'll lock myself up Inside of a cave And when it's time I'll let myself out When I'm feeling brave And when I'm done I won't take shit from anyone I can wait I can wait I've been by myself before I know how to shut a door I can wait I will wait By myself I'm doing fine I can occupy my mind I've got nothing else but time I've had enough Of things as they are I'm taking a break And I'll be back Although I don't know How long it'll take If you want me You know where I'm going to be I've got nothing else but time
8.
I look in the mirror and I know just what I'll see A perfect imitation of a guy who looks like me But I would like to see myself from other points of view I know who I am except for who I am to you I know what's intended when I say the things I say But I'm aware that you might not interpret them that way And so I can't determine what the words I say should be I don't know what they mean except for what they mean to me It gets so deadly dull Sitting here inside my skull I wish it were possible To visit you in yours Each thing that I do is something that you see I've done But I can't bear to start explaining each and every one Another me lives in your head and he's important too I know who he is except for who he is to you
9.
Well I got to get outta here Another mind another day Beaten down running dog Gotta find another way And it's not a crime It's just a matter of time Well I got holes in my head And in my ass from all your talk Though you, me, and everyone knows That half of it's a crock I want to tell you It's really been a blast Now you can take your pompous attitude And stick it up your Because I've known all along And I'm really finally done With all of your ideas that are So much better than everyone else's And now you won't have to Waste another breath

When I saw you waking Underneath the tree I had seven questions So I asked you five and you answered three And I got the answer I needed to obtain I know what to call you If I ever run into you again I know your name When I saw you walking Underneath the sun I still had five questions So I asked you three and you answered one And I got the info I needed to attain I know what to carve there When you get your plaque in the Hall of Fame I know your name You used your ukulele To euthanize my brain You're strong as a shillelagh You're sweet as aspartame I analyze you daily Results remain the same Now that I know your name Found a man to help with What I was going through He had several questions So he asked me one and I said 'I do' Now I'm your only fella And you're my only dame You're the one I'm meant for As far as I can ascertain I know your name

Do what you want to do, think it over And decide about me and you, think it through Do what you want to do, think it over And decide about me and you, think it through I can't claim possession of you You got a will of your own But I'll lose my obsession with you If you ain't coming home Well you can be who you want to See who you want to If he's who you want to see, and you can Do what you want to do, think it over And decide about me and you, think it through Do what you want to do, think it over And decide about me and you, think it through Well you claimed affection for me You even called it love But given your defection from me I guess it wasn't enough But if you know that you got to Go then you ought to Show what you want to me and you can Do what you want to do, think it over And decide about me and you, think it through You can be who you want to See who you want to If he's who you want to see, and you can Do what you want to do, think it over And decide about me and you, think it through Do what you want to do, think it over And decide about me and you, think it through

Saag Paneer 03:36
I try sometimes to think about where I'm going That map is dusty, it sits there in my car But the last time I looked right at it I crashed my car into a brand new Lexus My insurance rates went up I try sometimes to watch, to look where I'm going It's best if you ignore those Back Bay street signs Going around for miles and miles I think I've driven far enough Now I know where you are Now I understand I'm coming home to you, I'm coming home I don't care if I crash my stupid car I'm coming home to you, I'm coming home I don't care if the T stop's really far I try sometimes to write the book, to finish my thesis This LaTeX's such a bitch, it makes me wanna die Typing words for hours and hours I think I've written far enough To understand that I won't win a Nobel Prize I'm coming home to you, I'm coming home I don't care if I lose my stupid job I'm coming home to you, we'll have dinner at home I don't care if you can't make corn on the cob I'm coming home to you, I'm coming home I don't care if my future isn't clear I'm coming home to you, we'll have dinner at home I don't care if you burn the saag paneer

Our radiators Woke the neighbors Maybe they were too noisy, I don't know I'm your potato Your tornado Hurled me halfway to Boise, Idaho Baby you're my new favorite pugilist You hit me where I don't exist You got my goat Whatever you know you know you don't I've been outsmarted You've discarded Everything that I ever knew before What you've booed I'll View as futile I'll look down on whatever you abhor Baby I wish I had your fingerprints I haven't been the same man since I saw your throat Whatever you know you know you don't And I will never die I know you think I will but girl I won't Whatever you know you know you don't
15.
I had a lot of garlic but I lost it in the war I know it was symbolic but I forget what it stood for I'm feeling kind of edgy so I'd better buy some more When you come back to me When you come back I wish I had remembered all the cheese for which you care I always said Camembert though I know it's Camembert I think it's rather stinky but I'd eat it on a dare When you come back to me When you come back Now I know just how Moses felt when parting the Red Sea I talk like Teddy Roosevelt and bake like Sara Lee I want to be your manna, girl, I'll fall for you for free When you come back to me When you come back Life was beautiful, life was sweet Life was an apple I wanted to eat I knelt down and I kissed your feet Though they stunk But now life's hideous, life is grim Since you gave your potatoes to him Since you gave all your jewels to Jim And I'm sunk Who'd have thunk In love I am a veteran, it's ruined my whole life And things won't get much better when I take you for my wife You cut my heart right open and you handed me the knife When you came back to me When you came back

Over You 04:35
See myself running, maybe it's true See myself running, maybe it's true See myself running right back to you See myself running right over you I saw it coming, maybe it's true I saw it coming, maybe it's true I saw it coming, I'm older than you I saw it coming right back to you Once upon a time Everything I thought was true Ain't no fault of mine Every breath I take, I take for you Talk about nothing, maybe it's true Talk about nothing, maybe it's true Talk about nothing, it's something to do Talk about something, we'll talk about you You say I'm loving, maybe it's true You say I'm loving, maybe it's true Why am I loving, what did I do Who am I loving, and why is it you Once upon a time Everything I did was true Ain't no fault of mine Every breath I take, I take from you You know I'm tied to you You know it's nothing new You know I'll never leave You know I'll never grieve You call this living, maybe it's true You call this living, maybe you do I don't mind living, it's something to do I'll go on living right over you I don't mind living, it's easy to do I don't mind living, it's easy to do I'll go on living, baby it's true I'll go on living right over you

Randy Moss 03:55
Melody knocks and breaks down the door She's figured out what I'm using her for Sometimes the truth isn't pretty Harmony bursts in looking for Mel I guess their duet isn't doing too well Everyone says it's a pity Ain't she a beauty She's benevolent but she's the boss Scrambles like Flutie Catches footballs just like Randy Moss One with a bullet, top of the pops It's musical chairs when the musical stops Demons demanding an encore Keep it together as long as I can A couple of couplets I can't get to scan Trying to keep up the con for another year or two Solid as Plato Everything she has is what she wants Pitches like Pedro Hits the baseball just like Barry Bonds I will find you Picking up the pieces that you leave behind you Put them on a page and we'll pretend they're memories Please deceive me (take a piece of paper) Take me far away and say (write it down, fold it up) You won't believe me (if you need it sometime later) [let it come and let it go] Everything I say will be (take a match, watch it burn) [it doesn't matter if] A lie, I vow to you (it will come again) [it comes again] I will surrender my neck if you promise to knit me the noose Cause I'm getting too long in the tooth And I'm not what I was in my youth Yeah, I asked for your love but you gave me the truth Man all the stations, get ready for war We're taking it to them It doesn't matter what we do them for As long as we do them

Scapegoat 02:59
Stewart King An artist A legend A vision A man of mystery By day, a web designer By night, a heartbreaker They say he's irresistible Unstoppable But we found his fatal flaw He can't say no Bye bye, Stewart guy We're all still hoping You'll come tell us why You left us all behind We still miss you every day In each his own small way Mine is watching you decay Honest Bob A band Of a generation Not just an album It could be your life But we need some artwork Has anybody seen the artwork? Where's that confounded artwork? We seek The Master's vision But we found his fatal flaw He can't say no He's going to the Cape
