When I was 12 I told him
Stop
When I was 43 you told me
Stop
Keep the family together
Keep the family together
Stop

Dead Eyes
03:30
|
|||
Your beautiful eyes come alive until they look at me
Everyone says of course it’s cause you’re family
But nobody gets to choose their genealogy
But you can un-choo-choo-choose me
Dead eyes
Neither me or you will ever see through your dead eyes again
Neither you or I will see through my dead eyes again
Nothing to be done when you’re out of fun dead eyes again
Nothing to be said when the lights go dead
Dead eyes dead eyes again
Cause love is an action and sometimes there is no action
Just dead eyes
I try to catch your tears inside my floppy hat
I run around the crowded streets pretending that I’ve got half a chance
To not fall on my ass the clouds so very vast this storm may never pass
Because I failed I failed I failed
And now the sad is all over me
Running down my back filling every single crack with bad
Fighting traffic back to the safety of your danger pad
Who’s gonna host my morose little song and dance
Whatcha gonna do with no audience
Is it you? No you’re gonna pull through
Is it me? No one day I’m gonna see
That there’s no we there won’t ever be a we whee
I’m so so so so so so so sorry
Dead eyes again dead eyes dead eyes
Nothing to be said when the lights go dead
Again
Dead eyes

Curly Fries
03:24

We had our pizza and a quarter hit of speed and a hit of 2CB
We’re at the Sunday Social and it starts to hop
And we’re out blessing the flock
We can’t come down we’re making the rounds
And all our friends have swirly eyes
CURLY FRIES
My magic orange juice is doing funny things
And we’re blowing pot in rings
The floor is morphing swimming in a rhythmic heave
And I think it’s time to leave
The painting moves we can’t find the groove
So late to bed and early rise CURLY FRIES
Air? Water? Food? Are we in the mood?
She can’t decide but surely tries CURLY FRIES
Here’s a Hooters menu EATIN’ CURLY FRIES
Just like all these men do EATIN’ CURLY FRIES
Why are colors swirling? EATIN’ CURLY FRIES
Pissing shitting hurling EATIN’ CURLY FRIES
The jerkoff jocks are rockin’ in their knockoff crocs
Polish off your tater tots
My stomach’s tense my jaw is clenched the waitress passed
And I’m staring at her ass
We’re outta there good tip for the stare
I’m murmuring in surly sighs CURLY FRIES
Our landing’s soft crawl back to the loft
No burly guys or girly spies or CURLY FRIES

Haygood Hardee

Haygood Hardee is at my party I wish he’d go away
He cast his lot in with Mikey Rotten I thought that he was gay
Gayle Garnett and Terry Jax are necking by the door
Looba’s drinking from the pitcher, Murray’s on
Murray’s on the floor
Oh the irony oh the irony cause there’s me
Brucie bursts in and starts his sermon like he’s on the tube
Gord and Gordon just ignore him working on a doob
Mistress Mitchell unofficial lord of the domain
Tangos by with hatless Ivan
Play that song play that song again
Oh the irony oh the irony cause there’s me
Oh the i, oh the i, oh the i, oh the irony
Michael Reeno he’s in the vino he makes old SOCAN pay
And there goes Haygood
He makes his way good when Palin starts to play
Queen Celine is turning green she’ll have one gibson more
Devoid Foster thought he lost her
She’s with Murray down there on the floor
Oh the irony oh the irony oh the irony cause there’s me

She's A Stoner
05:20
|
|||
She’s a writer she’s right there in the paper
I wouldn’t wanna fight her
I don’t think I could take her
And I just wanna be with her be with her be with her be with her
Till it’s time to take the bus back home
I wanna get to know her, she’s a stoner
She’s a mover
She’s been around the planet
I thought I would seduce her but she made me can it
And I just wanna talk to her talk to her talk to her talk to her
Till I don’t know what I’m talking for
I wanna get to know her, she’s a stoner
On her head I put a little halo even though I know that that’s a no-no
In just one year she’s going back to Soho oh
I wanna get to know her, she’s a stoner
She’s the greatest she gets all touchy-feely
She said she broke up with her boyfriend
I said “oh really”
And I just wanna look at her look at her look at her look at her
Till I know for sure she’s flesh and bone
I wanna get to know her, she’s a stoner
She’s a looker
She looked right in my journal
When she got to the part about her I beat it to the urinal
But I just wanna be with her be with her be with her be with her
Even if my filthy thoughts are known
I wanna take her home and get her stoned
On her head I put a little halo even though I know that that’s a no-no
In just one year she’s going back to Soho oh
I wanna get to know her, she’s a stoner

Pictures of Babies
02:02
|

Show me your pictures of babies
Nannying day with a camera display
Looking at pictures of babies
Here or at home with your cellular phone
When you see your babies your eyeballs shine so brightly
Next time they come invite me
So many pictures of babies
Playing around as they roll on the ground
Gimme more pictures of babies
They’re doing a dance and they’re pooing their pants
Your precious babies get taken away so often
But you don’t get hard you soften
Babies babies babies babies babies babies
Master of pictures of babies
Open your door and show me some more
More of your pictures of babies
Making a mess or in states of undress
Please

Hit Me Back
03:26
|

If I start hitting on you girl THEN HIT ME BACK!
Every compliment turns into an attack
If I start sassing at you girl THEN SASS BACK!
If I start skipping just you pull the needle back
Don’t throw me overboard cause I’m your overlord
I WON’T QUIT! WON’T EVER QUIT!
I DESERVE I DESERVE EVERY BIT OF IT!
Oh come on girl give me a kiss
How can this maneuver miss?
Come on come on come on come on tell me how
If I start cutting you up girl THEN CUT ME OUT!
Give no explanation what it’s all about
If I start grabbing the wheel girl THEN PULL IT OVER!
Stick my thumb out leave me standing on the shoulder
I’m a sad and lonely soul I’ve got no self control but
CONTROL YOU THAT I CAN DO!
SWEET CONTROL! COMPLETE CONTROL TOO! YAHOO!
I’m getting pretty sick of this staring into the abyss
Come on come on come on come on pull me out
If I try to butter you up girl THEN YOU CAN JAM ME!
Got some walking papers here that you can hand me
If I start making a scene girl THEN YOU CAN EXIT!
If I beg you for some goodbye then you can text it
If I start hitting on you girl THEN HIT ME BACK!
If you start hitting the wall girl THEN HIT ME BACK!
I can take it thank you ma’am I needed that
If I ask you out for a bite girl THEN YOU CAN EAT ME!
Very well then girl you sure know how to treat me
If I start dogging your ass again YOU BETTER KISS MINE!
I’m a loser so I get it all the time
If I start giving you shit girl THEN FLUSH THE TOILET!
This is my plot and only you can foil it

All Out
02:43
|
|||
When I’m out I’m gonna be all out
And when I’m down I’m gonna get get down
You asked why you always fell for the most wounded guy in the room
For two years longer we hung on but that probably signalled our doom
When I’m out I’m gonna be all out
And when I’m down I’m gonna get get down
By now you must want to send me to hell and never come back
A hundred horrors to end me I’m already on the right track
Lean on the scene somebody intervene it’s a relapse just a relapse
Lean on the scene till everybody’s mean
Somebody gonna bop me in the bean
When I’m out I’m gonna be flat out
And when I’m down I’m gonna get get down
Lean on the scene somebody intervene it’s a relapse just a relapse
Lean on the scene till everybody’s mean
Palooka tryna punch me in the peen
When I’m out I’m gonna be all out
And when I’m down I’m gonna get get down
I live so close to the city it’s right outside my front door
The people there are so pretty but I don’t go there any more

Nice
05:26
|

Nice. You told me “you’re nice.”
I had to think twice this afternoon.
Nice. You said “You’re nice.”
That’s so nice I want to thank you.
Cause when I’m not I’m tied in a knot.
You’ve had a bad lot and then I’m just another one.
Darling please cure my disease like you did with ease in the movie.
Nice. You told me so.
You didn’t know what you were in for.
Doom in your room while I exhumed my bloody childhood.
Let me stay here today stay in this place and not another one.
And if you’re done with holding on just truly gone I will remember.
If I could hold on to the words then it’s like holding on to you
Nice all that I want all that I want to be nice
I love you love you love you love you

Facebook Friend
04:20
|
|||
Oh I’m suffering now got it down to an art
I’m flirting and I’m hurting till I can’t tell them apart
Thought we knew each other but it’s all in our head
Two comic book steamrollers with no asphalt to spread
Just turf to defend cyber war without end
You turn away when you tell me I love you
And you use one arm when I move in to hug you
You write but don’t send you’re my Facebook friend
Those long hearty laughs have turned into chuckles
From long walks to crossed legs from fingers to knuckles
Uncurl them for me you identity thief
You’re a country girl now and country people don’t care
No they’ll shut you out and cut you out like you’re not even there
You don’t have to sweat it though you’re gonna fit in
Keep swatting any bug who dares get under your skin
And I can’t compete with emotional DEET
You turn away when you tell me I love you
And you use one arm when I move in to hug you
You write but don’t send you’re my Facebook friend
Those long hearty laughs have turned into chuckles
From long walks to crossed legs from fingers to knuckles
Uncurl them for me you identity thief
Oh you say that there’s no hurry then you hand me my hat
But you don’t need to worry there’s a theory for that
If I take up too much space I’m out on my ear
But if I get much smaller I might just disappear
Now I’m walking away see you someday (Or not)
You turn away when you tell me I love you
And you use one arm when I move in to hug you
You write but don’t send you’re my Facebook friend
Those long hearty laughs have turned into chuckles
From long walks to crossed legs from fingers to knuckles
Uncurl them for me you identity thief

Staring at a Flower
03:08
|
|||
My knapsack rattles around inside the hatchback
Soon in the back I’ll have a catnap
And I’ll have 27,000 km there behind me
Campsite each night is different than the last night
Oh god I didn’t read the map right so now I’ll go ignite a fire
For the rescue crew to find me yeah
Take me to the scene of the crime take me where the sun doesn’t shine
Love you for your mind
I’m staring at a flower with a girl it’s her and me and it against the world
The trees and leaves and branches start to swirl
I’m staring at a flower with a girl
Let’s go hey I’ve been tripping on the techno
Is there a morning after heck no I just keep going going going
Till my brain has turned to something soft and slimy
Big fun I’m getting outta here to get some
And now you’re telling me you can’t come?
Oh don’t be dumba-dumba-dumb
Cause it’s time to go to Bernie’s for a party yeah
Did I hatch some idiot scheme? Did I make a terrible scene?
Did we reconvene?
I’m staring at a flower with a friend I’m hoping that this moment never ends
I guess it maybe won’t but it depends
I’m staring at a flower with a friend
I sass back cause I’m not welcome in your ass crack
What kind of asshat acts out like that
Falling down flat a dirty rat
But at least I didn’t bring my dirty laundry heh
I forget my line
I’m staring at a flower with a beer my conscience and my sinuses are clear
I’m falling with nobody there to hear
I’m staring at a flower with a beer
And that’s that

Kaiju's Yellow Raincoat
03:19
|
|||
It’s hanging by the door
I left it there before the dirty deed went down and ever since it’s hung around
The clouds have opened wide I have to go outside
It’s black on the inside
Just one more metaphor for you and I
Oo-ee time to let it be and walk a mile in Kaiju’s yellow raincoat
I try it on for size it fits to my surprise
Can’t rock it like she rocks but she could rock a dirty sock
I tried to give it back you said it’s mine that’s that
The sweetest things you do but when you say you’re not OK it’s true
Oo-ee best to let it be and walk a mile in Kaiju’s yellow raincoat
I wish that you were here to see me in your gear
But as of now you’re not and that’s a lot less pleasant thought
The coat hung up again I soak out in the rain
And hope another year will let the ghost of your love hover clear
Oo-ee then I’ll let it be and walk a mile in Kaiju’s yellow raincoat
Oo-ee then I will be free to walk a mile in Kaiju’s yellow raincoat
