GET BACK 3:12 NINA GORDON

I'm spinning out, I can't control my car.

It doesn't matter who you think you might be you are.

I misplace it and I don't know where it's at,

And I could find it but I'd never get it back...

Don't get it back

The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.

I'm running out, I don't know when to stop.

I thought I'd wait till I saw the penny drop.

It started raining, pennies falling in my lap.

And I could spend it, but I'd never get it back...

Don't get it back

The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.

Don't get it back

The more you want it, the less you're gonna get it back.

The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.

I'm spinning out, I can't control my car.

ALL HAIL ME 3:09 LOUISE POST

Yeah

So sorry, lady.

So sorry now.

I've killed your baby.

I don't know how.

So sorry, so sorry now.

You-so sorry mister. (oh-oh, oh-oh)

But don't look now (oh-oh)

I've got your sister (oh-oh)

I shot her down.

So sorry, so sorry now.

Cuz I'm a bad man, I do what I can.

I'm a bad man, I do what I can.

All hail me.

So sorry mother

I've let you down

I'm soaked in blood here

I can't get out.

So sorry, so sorry now.

Cuz I'm a bad man, I do what I can.

I'm a bad man, I do what I can.

All hail me.

Ha, ha, ha, all hail me.

(oh, I'm melting)

(melt your baby)

(that did not work so very well) or (that did not hurt so bad...)

SEETHER 3:16 NINA GORDON

Ow!

Seether is neither loose nor tight.

Seether is neither black nor white.

I tried to keep her on a short leash,

I tried to calm her down.

I tried to ram her into the ground, yeah.

Can't fight the seether

I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth.

Seether is neither big nor small.

Seether is the center of it all.

I tried to rock her in my cradle,

I tried to knock her out,

I tried to cram her back in my mouth, yeah.

Can't fight the seether

I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth.

Keep her down, boiling water,

Keep her down, what a lovely daughter.

Oh, she is not born like other girls,

But I know how to conceive her.

Oh, she may not look like other girls,

But she's a snarl-toothed seether, seether!

Can't fight the seether

I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth

Seether

Can't fight the seether

I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth, yeah.

SPIDERMAN '79 5:16 LOUISE POST

You're so nice, you tie me in a web

And cradle me till dawn.

You're so deadly that I can see your breath

Beneath me when you're gone.

You're so windy, I'd like to pin you down

And tack you to the wall,

Spiderman, Spiderman.

Spider Sunday, you blaze up from the south

With oil on your hands.

I'm streaked in grease and grime and idle mouths.

You've spoiled all my plans,

Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman.

I can't take more of that.

Whoa, ho-oh, Whoa, ho-oh. Whoa, ho-oh. Ho-oh.

Tiny truckstop, you lay me in a towel

And savor me like a lamb.

You smell of corduroy and lemon drops

And reds pulled from a can.

I dream in black and white,

I've long forgot exactly, who I am, am,

A Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman.

Whoa, ho-oh, Whoa, ho-oh. Whoa, ho-ho. Ho-oh. Spiderman.

Whoa, ho-oh, Whoa, ho-oh. Whoa, ho-oh. Ho-oh. Spiderman.

FORSYTHIA 4:44 NINA GORDON

Yellow baby, a yellow baby is a bad sign.

But I don't mind, I don't mind.

Ohhh, Forsythia.

Spider monkey, a spider monkey is a good lie.

But I don't know why.

Ohhh, Forsythia, oh-ohhh.

I don't mind sitting in the way, way back.

I don't mind, lying to my friends.

One thing about Forsythia,

She comes around and I get lost

Against her yellow, I'm no longer me.

Yellow daisy, a dandelion or a pussy willow,

It's a different thing.

Oh-oh, Forsythia. Forsythia. Forsythia.

One thing about Forsythia,

She comes around and I get lost

Against her yellow I'm no longer me.

One thing about Forsythia...

There's one thing about Forsythia...

WOLF 4:19 LOUISE POST

That was a time for falling

I knew you well.

There was no time for calling

Me when you fell.

This is a time to take cover

In a wishing well.

Summer was blowing all over me

When you fell.

Sailors can take all the breathing

Out of the sail.

I took a trip when you needed me...

When you fell,

Waters were driving me

To a deep place;

I close my eyes to see

Your sweet face.

A coke inside me,

I slept in hell...

Angels can be so deceiving

When they love you well.

Did you think you would be leaving me?

These are some lavender flowers

In a broken shell; (I was broken)

They comfort me ever since the day when you fell.

When you fell,

Waters were dancing me

In a dark place,

I close my eyes to see

Your determined face,

My secret inside me

I slept in hell...

This is a time for believing

In fairy tales;

One in which you are brought back to me.

Wolf, I cried wolf.

CELEBRATE YOU 4:20 LOUISE POST

I wear my patent leather shoes

And my golden fleeces,

A feather in my hair for you

And then I fall to pieces

At your celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Celebration (Oh-oh, Oh-oh)

Celebration (Oh-oh, Oh, oh)

Celebrate you.

We're quiet as two mannequins

Feasting on silences.

We wait for Christmas to begin

To see the cracking faces.

I tip my glass a toast to you,

The blood spills on the carpet

At your celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Celebration (Oh-oh, Oh-oh)

Celebrate you.

And in the dream you held a gun;

You killed off all who hurt you

And left me there the only one

Who would not dare desert you.

I'm safe here growing in the shade,

Away from all your brightness.

I lost my innocence today

When I learned how to write this.

Tonight my nightgown is in knots.

I toss and turn in your honor.

I'll never know just what I've got

As long as you're my father.

And I'll keep searching here for you,

I'll clean out every corner.

It's not my fault.

It's not my fault. (celebrate you)

It's not my fault.

FLY 3:38 LOUISE POST

Twice bitten, twice baked.

Twice led down the same mistake.

Try me on a Saturday, try me.

Try me.

Fine fool for a holiday.

Slow sun in a Spanish way

One heart for one week of May, why me?

Why me?

Twice given to yesterday

Right for a foray with fate.

Fly me home to heaven's gate, fly me.

Fly me. Fly...

Twice bitten, twice baked.

Twice led down the same mistake.

Try me on a Saturday, try me.

Try me.

Try me, try me.

NUMBER ONE BLIND 3:44 NINA GORDON/JIM SHAPIRO

Be my blind.

Be it all the time.

Be it night or day,

Take my sun away, away.

Levolor, which of us is blind?

Levolor, left me in the dark.

Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,

Is it morning?

Blind me please, I am on my hands and knees.

I can only pray

Take my sun away, away.

Levolor, which of us is blind?

Levolor, left me in the dark.

Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,

Is it morning?

It is time.

It is time (oh-oh).

Levolor, which of us is blind?

Levolor, left me in the dark.

Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,

Is it morning?

Levolor, which of us is blind?

Levolor, left me in the dark.

Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,

Is it morning?

Levolor, Levolor, Levolor, Levolor...

VICTROLA 2:18 LOUISE POST

You're so wonderful, I adore you,

I adore you, I adore you, Victrola.

You're so audio, don't remove me,

To a movie, I am grooving, Victrola.

Ahhh... Happy New Year

Ahhh...

Ahhh... Happy New Year

Ahhh...

You're my winter love,

I can lie here

With you so near

We both live here

Happy New Year,

You're my sweet dear Victrola Victrola-ahhh-ahhh.

TWINSTAR 3:16 NINA GORDON

Flying, when all I want to do is die

Feels like your, flyin'

Oh God, I wish that I could, fly

You want to lift me up

But you don't know, and you don't see...

I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways, oh.

Breathing, when all I want to do is drown.

You keep on breathing and I keep on sinking down, oh, oh.

You want to lift me up,

But you don't know, and you don't see...

I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways

I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

You want to lift me up,

But you don't know, and you don't see...

I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways

I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

25 7:53 NINA GORDON

I'm afraid I will never change

It's okay I am not ashamed

I can say that my bed is made

You can bend me, shape me any way You can bend me, shape me any way you want me

I maintain, I am not in pain

How I try, not to place the blame

I came late to an early game

You can bend me, shape me any way

You can bend me, shape me any way you want me

When I was five, I took a dive

When I was ten, I walked again

When I was fifteen, I kept my motor clean

When I was twenty, I got plenty

When I was twenty-five...

SLEEPING WHERE I WANT 3:19 NINA GORDON

This is my favorite disease,

I am sleeping in his dreams

And the TV is on

It is seeping into me

It is guiding my dreams

It is only three

So it's jeopardy

You can go and burst my tiny bubble

Blow me off without a care

But I am sleeping where I want to.

This is my favorite time

I can sleep until the phone rings

And I doubt that it will.

You can go and burst my tiny bubble

Blow me off without a care

But I am sleeping where I want to.
