Roky Erickson - It's A Cold Night For Alligators



Roky Erickson - It's A Cold Night For Alligators

It's a cold night for alligators
It's a cold night for dogs
The dogs choke on their barking
When they see alligator persons in the bog and fog

It's a cold night for alligators
When men turn into them in the night
It's a cold night for alligators
It's a cold night for their might

It's a cold night for alligators
Hiding behind the trees with moss
Forever hear the swamp birds screaming
Forever in loss

It's a cold night for alligators
In the blend
It's a cold night for alligators
A perfect monster has no end

Gang Gang Dance - House Jam



Gang Gang Dance - House Jam

One with the light shined on them
How quickly the glamor fades
Spread spreading out my stone wings
Why I, I become the storm

The finest marble
Like a raven heading for the sun
Spread spreading out my stone wings
Why I, I become the storm

Forth from the river with the yellow tide
Don't get toothed at the cliffs
I'm sad, sad about something
And there's no soul left to grate here
Like overstaying
A welcome that has been denied
Take me to the opium benign
Where the light took time

Ahh steamrollers paved over life
All i can say is what a pim it's been

Will the clouds carry my tears to you
Carry my tears to you
Carry my tears

Will the clouds carry my tears to you
Carry my tears to you
Carry my tears

The Tallest Man on Earth - Kids on the Run



The Tallest Man on Earth - Kids on the Run

Oh meet me when the morning fails on the fields of desire
Oh meet me when I lost my part in the choir of dusk
Where the promise to lead what is right
As we both know how fields will turn white
And know I will never speak of days
Cause I know you wont count them.

No we have never grown a day from the poison we shared
And we're walking our crooked backs home
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run.

And no we will never be a part of the pictures once taken
When we're feeding fire with the flames til no memories gone
And the cold sky will write us a song
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run

And the reflections in their eyes
Sure could paint us as killers
Oh, I'll be there.

And til the terror of our time
Could forgive us as lovers
Oh, lets break some hearts....

And no I will never speak of ways 'cause I know you wont try them
But all the weapons raining from the sky will be ours to embrace
And the cold sky will write us a song
But will we ever confess what we've done
Guess we're still kids on the run.

Watch and make sure no one snatches my check" nigga that's the mailman
Sort through the mail and put it up in-a me pocket
So I be hittin' the 99 to get me a dub
Foe forty bucks but ain't nobody ride that rita
Hop on the 10 to the click
Ready to get 'em up with-a me thugs
And to cash that dum

Whether it be weed on 93
Or off on the glock glock for some dollars, so
Get a bag of dope and a quarter roll, oh
Most all of my niggas got the same, and we gonna roll it all up to smoke
Hittin' that reefer hydro, you know the cut, so fuck them po-po
Toss all that yayo, and we're gonna say no
Runnin' through the alley and into the melee

Nose run from january on down to december im lovin the first of the month

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

Gotta find them dubs
Gonna get a forty, can a thug get love?

Try to stand on my corner
Nigga you'z a gonna Saint Claire niggas don't like that
And sellin' them dummies makin' that money come back nigga get pap pap
From the 1st to the 15th niggas smoke plenty weed
But I gotta save gotta come up
Put my rocks on the cut
When I get high nigga blaze that blunt, huh

Count up my profits and add it to the stash
Gotta watch my back see for niggas that's tryin' to rob me, fool
But never no shorts no losses
Dumpin' keepin' this niggas up off me see
Gotta search the whole block

Thugs smoke a lot of weed on the 1st

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

Wakin' up feelin' buzzed off up early mornin' stretchin'
I'm yawnin' lightweight bent chugga lugga take a fifth to the dome
Instead I kick it with my trues
But it's the 1st so I'm getting my hustle on
Hop on the phone, calling up Krayzie Bone
Wanna know did you O.G check come? (She put me down)
I'm a hop on the bus with Biz (Yo Brother let's get drunk)
And I'm coming with blunt after blunt
Of this skunk
Nigga T just put me down
Oh God how I love when the 1st come around
Now I'm feelin' black and mild, headed cross town
'Cause niggas the 1st to get celebrated
Rushin' to the block cause I wanna get faded
Lookin' all wild cause I'm getting me hair braided
We heavy off into this game
True to the 1st just call me that pro slang
Them nickels and dimes and 20's and 50's
The 1st be the day for the dopeman
Slangin' that cocaine fool, and I'm working late tonight
And all them fiends be lovin' them thugs
'Cause I got them rocks for them pipes
Come come with them ends
I gotta get paid on the 1st, gotta blaze up my spliff
Get live with the Bone Thugs, Poetic Hustlers in the graveyard shift
On the 1st

Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
To get up, get up, get up so cash your checks and get up

Mclusky - She Will Only Bring You Happiness



Mclusky - She Will Only Bring You Happiness

Note to self, be erect by half-past ten
Be strong, be proud, be able, be charmed
Be extended, be in motion, be at loggerheads with chris
Like chris was crisp, like chris was crisp

Show yourself, show! show!

All the sea was coal, coal, coal!
All the sea was coal, coal, coal!
All the sea was coal, coal!
She started wondering, where is the profit here?

Note to invading aliens, avoid this town
Like this town avoided us
Like murder stalked the valley where this woman used to live
Bathe and breathe and be murdered
Bathe and breathe and be murdered
Like chris was crisp, like chris was crisp, was crisp

Show yourself, show! show!

All the sea was coal! coal! coal!
All the sea was coal! coal! coal!
All the sea was coal!
She started wondering, where is the profit here?

Our old singer is a sex criminal
Our old singer is a sex criminal

All the sea was coal! coal! coal!
All the sea was coal! coal! coal!
All the sea was coal!
She started wondering, where is the profit here?

Sade - By Your Side



Sade - By Your Side

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave down when your down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that

I'll do you right when your wrong
I, ohhh, ohhh

If only you could see into me

oh, when your cold
I'll be there to hold you tight to me
When your on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you, your so much better than you know
When your lost, when your alone and you can't get back again
I will find you darling I'll bring you home

If you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
and in no time you'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down when your down on your kness
I wouldn't do that

I'll do you right when your wrong
I, ohhhh, ohhh

If only you could see into me

Oh when your cold
I'll be there
To hold you tight to me
Oh when your alone
I'll be there by your side baby

Pure - The Hammock

photo by jim hunt


Pure - The Hammock

Hey hey
You stole my bike, so I broke your nose
You said my mom was better looking than your mom
Who knows
We stare at the sun a little closer
Pretty colors are taking over
But down by the swings that hang out low
We'll be real low

Hanging out
Hanging ow-ow-ow-ow-out
Hanging out
Hanging out

Hey hey
And you crashed my car
So I took the blame
We fixed it up and then you crashed it again
And again
And we moved apart and got all weird
And I went out searching and you stayed back here
The hammock fell over
Had no place to stay
And nobody's noticed you passed away

Hanging out
Hanging ow-ow-ow-out
Hanging out
Hanging out

We're hanging out
I'm sick of hanging out
Come on now hang out
Come on now hang out
Hanging out

Hanging out
Hanging out
Hanging out
Hanging out
I'm sick of hanging out
We'll figure it out
And we're standing at the gate
And I can't get in, I'm too late

Dramarama - Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)



Dramarama - Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)

Oh, gee, what is it tonight?
At least just tell me what the hell is wrong,
Do you want to eat, do you want to sleep, do you want to drown?
Just settle down, settle down, settle down...
I'll give you give candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I'll even let you watch the shows you want to see,
Just marry me, marry me, marry me...

I'm so sick of you tonight,
You never stay awake when I get home,
Is something wrong with me, something wrong with you?
I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew...
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I even let you watch the shows you want to see,
Because you married me, married me, married me...

When I was young I learned a game,
Where love and happiness were the same,
Now I'm older and I don't play,
I found out the hardest way,
I got wasted, she got mad, called me names and she called her dad,
He got crazy and I did too, wondered what I did to you.
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I even let you hear the songs I want to sing,
I'll give you anything, anything, anything...
I'll give you anything, anything, anything

New Edition - If It Isn't Love



New Edition - If It Isn't Love

I don't love her
I tried to tell myself
But you can see it in my eyes
So don't deny I can't fool no one else
The truth is in the tears I cry

Cause if it isn't love
Why do I feel this way
Why does she stay on my mind
And if it isn't love
Why does it hurt so bad
Make me feel so sad inside
If it isn't love

I told her I'd never fall in love
But now I know better
How does it feel I can't describe this feelin'
That came when I saw her last night
She got to me
I'll let you know the reason I saw her with another guy

So if it isn't love
Why do I feel this way
Why does she stay on my mind
And if it isn't love
Why does it hurt so bad
Make me feel so sad inside

And if it isn't love
Why do I feel this way
Why does she stay on my mind
And if it isn't love
Why does it hurt so bad
Make me feel so sad inside
If it isn't love

Maybe she'll take me back
(Hey girl he's begging)
I made a big mistake
(Won't you forgive him girl)
Now I can feel it
(He's never felt before)
I really love her
(You love her? What!?)

I took my heart
To shatter in a thousand pieces
Before I'd ever drop my pride
Losing love worrying about my image
Really helped me realize

If it isn't love
Why do I feel this way
Why does she stay on my mind
And if it isn't love
Why does it hurt so bad
Make me feel so sad inside
If it isn't love

Sally Seltmann - Harmony to My Heartbeat



Sally Seltmann - Harmony to My Heartbeat

Dreams that come and go
This is one that I found forever I know
Been crossing my fingers and always hoping for it to come true

Waiting for the train
I can see a face in the distance again
Got a little dream that's become a friend and a reality

And I'm running just as fast as I can to tell you the news
We can do this together, we can, yeah me and you
When you hold me I can see
This is exactly where I wanna be
You're the harmony to my heartbeat, baby

Dreams that come and go
But I just kept doing what I loved, even though
All I ever wished for was out of breath, running so slow

I found the lock and the key
Now I can be everything I've wanted to be
Got a little dream that's become a friend for the melody

And I'm running just as fast as I can to tell you the news
We can do this together, we can, yeah me and you
When you hold me I can see
This is exactly where I wanna be
You're the harmony to my heartbeat, baby

Harmony to my heartbeat, baby

When you hold me I can see
This is exactly where I wanna be
You're the harmony to my heartbeat, baby

Harmony to my heartbeat, baby
You're the harmony to my heartbeat baby

When you hold me I can see
This is exactly where I wanna be
You're the harmony to my heartbeat, baby
