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

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

Who I Am To You
02:35
|
|||
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

This Is The Coda
01:27
|
|||
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

I Know Your Name
04:34
|
|||
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

Think It Through
02:45
|
|||
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

When You Come Back
04:42
|
|||
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

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
