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

Gravediggaz - Bang Your Head

Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!

Rzarector!
You are not the same that I was when I was younger
I'm old with the Clan from my land, down under
Deep in the darkness, just like you regardless
Of who? It's obvious! Wee... ha!
So lounge in my burial ground, boy, my despot
I build a house on top, of Salem's Lot
Front porch, bloody, back yard, muddy
Like Amityville, a family kills
Force of humanity, drove me to insanity
Duel in all my rivalries, I speak of profanity
Motherfuck this! Motherfuck that! Bang your, head!

Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!

Here comes the killer with the GraveDigga sword, gimme room
Like devils in a Ouiji board I'm spellin' doom
Ever since sick, throwin' mad stones
And sick catchin' vex on a graveyard shift
Thinkin' ain't a new phenom because my crew is on
Spots'll blow like nuclear bombs
With the killer instinct, rhymes are in sync
B-B-B-B-Bang your head til it shrinks!
Midnight marauder, bodies are gettin' slaughtered
Bring a cross and a bucket of holy water
You'll still'a be cajoled, 'cause the motherfuckin' Gravediggaz
Snatch up your body, just like a clepto
Let's go, to the graveyard spot
Count up the knots, on the bodies that got dropped
So bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!

Gatekeep!
Yo,I creep with the evil intent to represent
The course, the night, a swarm with the dark force
The killer brigade, twelve o'clock starts the raid
Torches lit over your grave
Feel no pain those exposed to the raven
Deep in every step, a blunt like Wes Craven
Yo! I eject the fume that spells doom
The wickedest flow, sweep, ya up like a broom
'Cause in the shadowy graves, of Medina high
You're one step away from the arena of death
Boom, bang! Here I am, the berserk
The ruthless killer, I do work
Dark forces thick, motherfuckers for real
Here's a tale from the crypt, bang your head!

Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!

Orange Juice Jones - The Rain

Orange Juice Jones - The Rain

I saw you (and him)
Walking in the rain
You were holding hands
And I'll never be the same.

Tossing and turning another sleepless night
The rain crashes against my window pane
Jumped into my car didn't drive too far
That moment I knew I would never be the same.

I saw you (and him)
Walking in the rain
You were holding hands
And I'll never be the same.
I saw you (and him)
Walking in the rain
You were holding hands
And I'll never be the same.

Now here you are begging to me
To give our love another try
Girl I love you and I always will
But darling right now I've got to say goodbye 'cause

I saw you (and him)
Walking in the rain
You were holding hands
And I'll never be the same.
I saw you (and him)
Walking in the rain
You were holding hands
And I'll never be the same.

(I saw you)
Hey hey baby how ya doin' come on in here
(Walking in the rain)
Got some hot chocolate on the stove waiting for you
Listen first things first let me hang up the coat
(You were holding hands and I'll)
Yeah how was your day today
Did you miss me
(Never be the same)
You did? Yeah? I missed you too
I missed you so much I followed you today
(I saw you)
That's right now close your mouth
'Cause you cold busted
(Walking in the rain)
Now just sit down here, sit down here
I'm so upset with you I don't know what to do
(You were holding hands and I'll)
My first impulse was to run up on you
And do a Rambo
(Never be the same)
Whip out the jammy and flat blast both of you
But I didn't wanna mess up
this thirty-seven hundred dollar lynx coat
So instead I chilled -- that's right chilled
I went to the bank and took out every dime.
Than I canceled all those credit cards, yeah, all your charge accounts
I stuck you up for every piece of jewelery
I ever bought you! That's right, everything, everything.
Don't go lookin' in that closet
Everything you came here with
Is packed up and waiting for you in the guest room.
What was you thinking about?
What you trying to prove
You don't mess with the Juice!
I gave you silk suits, blue diamonds and gucci handbags.
I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce!
But now I can't give you nothing but advice.
Cause you're still young, that's right you still young.
I hope you learn a valuable lesson from all this
And you're gonna find somebody like me one of these days
Until then, you know what you gotta do?
You gotta get on outta here
With that alley-cat-coat-wearing,
Hush-puppy-shoe-wearing crumbcake I saw you with.
Cause you dismissed!
That's right, silly rabbit,
Tricks are made for kids, don't you know that.
You without me is like corn flake without the milk!
This is my world.
You're just a squirrel trying to get a nut!
Now get on outta here.
Scat! Don't touch that coat...

Peter and the Wolf - Safe Travels

Ahhh
My brother dreaming of a new land
Where the rivers wind through the villages
And the people breathe so easily
All the region trees go the same way
Don't have to go
I know you know you know
But if you gotta go
Whoa-oh
Safe travels

My brother wander in the tall grass
It's ok to run we expect you back
Know how to climb a tree
I assume you do
I admit it
Man i'm not as sharp as you
Oh but i know
It's still a war down there
And if ya gotta go
Whoa-oh
Safe travels

Oh oh safe travels
Oh oh safe travels
Oh oh safe travels
Oh oh safe travels

Frank Black - Stupid Me

Stupid me
I deserve it now I'm standing here all alone
Stupid me
I'm reserving all my thoughts just for her
Now she's gone

She gave me her whole heart
And I threw it away
I'd practice a black art
If I thought she'd come back for just one day oh

Stupid me
I'm reserving all my thoughts just for her
Now she's gone

I don't know what became of her
But I'll pray
She’ll find true love
Oh why did I send her away?
Oh why did I send her away?
Oh why did I send her away?
Oh why did I send?
Oh why did I send?
Oh why did I send?
Oh why did I send her away?

Stupid me
I'm reserving now I'm standing here all alone
Stupid me

The Chi-Lites - Have You Seen Her

The Chi-Lites - Have You Seen Her

One month ago today
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies - maybe to the park

And have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play (huh)
You know, tomorrow is their future
But to me, just another day

They all gather around me
They seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain

I know I can't hide from a memory
'Though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back
But today again I lied

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street, and even at the picture show
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away (oh, yeah)

Oh-oh-oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost
Baby, I'm lost (Oh)

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin'
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know
I'm still a lonely man
You know, it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand

Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - The Ballad of Jim Jones

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - The Ballad of Jim Jones

I walked from New York
And back from L.A.
I lived on a mountain
And once by the bay
I bought an apartment
And slept in the hay
But there's no place that's softer than
(your arms)

Living today
Is just getting so bad
There's a look on your face
And it says "you've been had!"
You can take all my money
But don't make me mad
Cause there's nobody meaner than
(me)

I prayed to buddha,
To allah,
And Jim.
I turned to Jesus
And stayed there with him
I fell in deep
But i learned how to swim
Now there's no one who's cleaner
Than me or than him

Jonathan Richman - Girlfriend

Jonathan Richman - Girlfriend

If I were to walk to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
Well, first I'd go to the room where they keep the Cezanne
But if I had by my side a girlfriend
Then I could look through the paintings
I could look right through them
Because I'd have found something that I understand
I understand a girlfriend.

That's a girl friend
Said G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N
That's a girlfriend, baby
That's something that I understand
Alright

I walk through the Fenway, I have my heart in my hands
I understand a girlfriend

That's a girl friend
Oh that's a G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N
Well that's a girlfriend, baby
That's something that I understand.

Four o'clock in the afternoon in the Fenway,
I have my heart in my hands

I understand a girlfriend
That's a girlfriend
That's G-I-R-L-F-R-E-N
That's a girlfriend, baby
Well that's something that I understand.
