Tori lyrics for a while

Agent Orange (Boys for Pele)

this is my sunday afternoon guess:

Ah ah ah aahmmmmm
Ah ah ah ahmm
Gotta tell you
what I heard
from agent orange
mister suntan
mister happy man
mister i-know-that-girls-on-all-the-world-talks
mister agent yes
he's my favorite
and they don't understand
he's got palmoil of ants
yes he's down and there
and everywhere

he's get-ting them to thee there
and the road to city
where she swims and swims

Alamo (Talula single)

ah haa hmoo
heard all about your fandango
begged on my knees on your back door
only to wake you to blues on the way
blues on the way, blues on the way

embarcadero, figures you'll see me as older
twenty-three hours til the border
Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.
fast as I came, fast as I came

the tears on my pillow, of course they're not mine
alter that altar
makin' a play
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my aheyee chances

Alamo
wish I could do what God does
heard that the stars were in order
got yourself dealt a hand
with two queen of spades
and blues on the way
blues on the way

tears on my pillow
of course they're not mine
alter that altar
makin' a play
somebody just
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my ahaahaa chances


All the Girls Hate Her (God single)

There are no words in this song


Angie (Crucify single)

Lyrics by: Keith Richards/Mick Jagger

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried


Bachelorette (Spark single)

Bachelorette, (you come on old sometimes/come around downtown), you're
Bachelorette, you can turn dust into champagne
You even dream about his name
Bachelorette, [The brave's a pint depend for]
Bachelorette, you try to show him that he can
but you can never rush a man
you must remember
your're a car girl you're a star girl

the tide will turn
there's a window
there's a window

Yeah, ta tam
You (come around at him/you come on older then him), you're

You try to show them that he can
but you can never rush a man
yeah no, say

Bachelorette, the things you girls to your
Bachelorettes, you though that um
and tay da dum (use em/ abuse em????)
and that I lie ta ta ta dai
you must remember
you're a car girl you're a star girl
you are at the door
the tide will turn
there's a window
there's a window

Bachelorette, you fly along/alone, oh
when you cry sometimes
there's nothing like it in the world
you go to Paris on your own, oh just
Bachelorette, you come on older than your
Bachelorette, you can turn dust into champagne
you even, ya da la la la ya dai ai ai ai ai hai

ah ha ha heh huh huh...sorry....


Baker, Baker (Under the Pink)

Baker Baker baking a cake
make me a day make me whole again
and I wonder what's in a day
what's in your cake this time

I guess you heard he's gone to L.A.
he says that behind my eyes I'm hiding
and he tells me I pushed him away
that my heart's been hard to find

here
there must be something here
there must be something here
here

Baker Baker can you explain
if truly his heart was made of icing
and I wonder how mine could taste
maybe we could change his mind

I know you're late for your next parade
you came to make sure that I'm not running
well I ran from him in all kinds of ways
guess it was his turn this time

time
thought I'd made friends with time
thought we'd be flying high
maybe not this time

Baker Baker baking a cake
make me a day
make me whole again
and I wonder if he's okay
if you see him say hi


Beauty queen (Boys for Pele)

Ah ah ahaa
ah ah ahaha
She's a Beauty Queen
my sweet bean bag in the street
take it
down out to the laundry scene
don't know why she's in my hand
can't figure what it is
but I lie again


Bells For Her (Under the Pink)

And through the life force and there goes her friend
on her Nishiki it's out of time and through the portal they can make amends
hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends
can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way

And through the walls they made their mudpies
I've got your mind I said she said
I've your voice I said you don't need my
voice girl you have your own but you never thought
it was enough of so they went years and years
like sisters blanket... blanket girls
always there through, through that and this
there's nothing we cannot ever fix I said
can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way
 hey
can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way

Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls
brothers and lovers she and I were now
she seems to be sand under his shoes
there's nothing I can do
can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way
can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way

And now I speak to you are you in there
you have her face and her eyes but you are not her
and we go at eachother like blank ettes, blank ettes who cannot
find their, their thread and their bare
can't stop, can't stop loving, you-hoo-hoo-hoo
can't stop loving, can't stop what is on it's way
and I see it coming and it's on it's way


Black Dove (January) (From the Choirgirl Hotel)

She was a January girl
She never let on how insane it was
in that tiny kinda scary house by the woods
by the woods
by the woods
black-dove black-dove
you don't need a space ship
they don't know you've already lived
on the other side of the galaxy
she had a January world
so many storms not right somehow
how a lion becomes a mouse by the woods
but i have to get to TEXAS
said i have to get to TEXAS
and I'll give away my blue, blue dress
she had a January girl
she never let on how insane it was
in that tiny kinda scary house by the woods


Blood roses (Boys for Pele)

Ahaha, ahaha
Blood Roses
Blood Roses
Back on the street now
Blood Roses
Blood Roses
Back on the street now
can't forget the things you never said
on days like these starts me thinking
when chickens get a taste of your meat
chickens get a taste of your meat
yes ahaha

you gave him your blood
and your warm little diamond
he likes killing you after you're dead
you think I'm a queer
I think you're a queer
(she) said I think you're a queer
I think you're a queer
and I shaved every place where you been
I said I shaved every place where you been
yes ahaha

God knows I know I've thrown away those graces
God knows I've thrown away those graces
God knows God knows I've thrown away those graces

the Belle of New Orleans tried to show me
once how to tango
round around your feet
round around like good little roses

ahaha
Blood Roses
Blood Roses
Back on the street now
Blood Roses
Blood Roses
Back on the street now, now, now
now you've cut out the flute
from the throat of the loon
at least when you cry now
he can't even hear you
when chickens get a taste of your meat
come on,
come on,
come on,
come on,
come on,
come on,
come on,
come on,
come on now
when he sucks you deep
sometimes you're nothing but meat


Caught a Lite Sneeze (Boys for Pele)

... eeeh...
hay...

Caught a lite sneeze caught a lite breeze
caught a lightweight lightningseed
boys on my left side
boys on my right side
boys in the middle
and you're not here
te dew dete te de tew
te tum dew
I need a big loan
from the girl zone

building
tumbling down
didn't know our love was so small
couldn't stand at all
Mr St. John just bring your son

the spire is hot
and my cells can't feed
and you still got that Belle dragging your foots, yes
I'm hiding it well Sister Ernestine
but I still got that Belle
dragging my foots, yes

building
tumbling down
didn't know our love was so small
couldn't stand at all
Mr St. John just bring your son

right on time you get closer
and closer
called my name but there's no way in
use that fame
I rent your wife and kids today
and maybe she will
I said ah, maybe she will caught a lite sneeze
dreamed a little dream
made my own pretty hate machine
boys on my left side
boys on my right side
boys in the middle and you're not here
boys in their dresses
and you're not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone
I need a big loan from the girl zone

building
tumbling down
didn't know our love was so small
couldn't stand at all
Mr St. John just bring your son


China (Little Earthquakes)

China all the way to New York
I can feel the distance getting close
You're right next to me
But I need an airplane
I can feel the DISTANCE as you breathe

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build a great WALL around you
In your eyes I saw a future together
You just look away in the distance

China decorates our table
Funny how the CRACKS don't seem to show
Pour the wine dear
You say we'll take a holiday
But we never can agree on where to go

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build a great WALL around you
In your eyes I saw a future together
You just look away in the distance

China all the way to New York
Maybe you got lost in MEXICO
You're right next to me
I think that you can hear me
Funny how the distance learns to grow

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build a great WALL around you

I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance getting close


Cloud On My Tongue (Under the Pink)

Someone's knockin' on my kitchen door
leave the wood outside
what all the girls here are freezing cold
leave me with your Borneo I said
I don't need much to keep me warm

and don't stop now what you're doing
what you're doing my ugly one
Bring them all here
hard to hide a hundred
girls in your hair
it won't be fair if I hate her
if I ate her you can go now
you can go now

You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tatoo
you're already in there
You're already in there

Got a cloud sleeping on my tongue
he goes then it goes and
kiss the violets as they're waking up
leave me with your Borneo I said
leave me the way I was before but

You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tatoo yes
I'm already in

circles and circles and circles again
the girls in circles and circles
circles again the girls in
circle and circle and circles again
the girls in circle and circles
and circles again my

Someone's knockin' on my kitchen door
leave the wood outside

you can go now, you can go now
you can go now, you can go now

You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tatoo yes
You're already in there
thought I was over the bridge now
over the bridge now
I'm already in

circles and circles and circles again
the girls in circles and circles
got to stop spinning

circles and circles, circles again
the girls in circles and circles
and circles again whoa
circles and circles, circles again
the girls in circles and circles
got to stop spinning

circles and circles and circles again
the girls in circles and circles
and circles again, well


Cornflake Girl (Under the Pink)

Never was a cornflake girl
thought that was a good solution
hangin' with the raisin girls
she's gone to the other side
givin' us a yo heave ho
things are getting kind of gross
and I go at sleepy time

this is not really, this, a this
a this is not really happening
you bet your life it is
you bet your life it is
ah ha you bet your life
it is a peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword

She knows what's goin'
on seems we got a cheaper feel now
all the sweeteaze are gone
gone to the other side with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
she's puttin' on her string bean love

this is not really, this, eh this
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is
you bet your life it is
ah ha you bet your life
it is a peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword

Never was a cornflake girl

Crucify (Little Earthquakes)

Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get affraid what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my COURAGE would choose to sell out now.

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what GOD needs
One more victim

Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Got a kick for a dog beggin' for LOVE
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says will you ever learn
You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the brid

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough GUILT to start
My own religion

Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Please be
Save me
I CRY

Looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Where are those angels
When you need them

Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Why do we change (chains?)
Crucify ourselves
Everyday

Never going back again
Crucify myself again
You know
Never going back again to
Crucify myself
Everyday

Cruel (From the Choirgirl Hotel)

so don't give me respect don't give me a piece of your preciousness
flaunt all she's got in our old neighbourhood
I'm sure she'll make a few friends
even the rain bows down let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA'S for you I can be cruel
I don't know why
why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel I don't know why
dance with the Sufi's celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain
lover brother bogenvilla my vine twists around your need
even the rain is sharp like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA'S for you I can be cruel


Doughnut Song (Boys for Pele)

had me a trick and a kick and your message
you'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
then thought that I could decipher your message
there's no one here dear
no one at all

and if I'm wasting all your time
this time
maybe you never learned to take
and if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale

<at the same time>
tori 1:
and southern men can grow gold
can grow pertty
blood can be pertty
like a delicate man
copper to steel to a hinge that is faltered
that let's you in let's you in let's you in

tori 2:
you can tell me
it's over, it's over
you can tell me
over, all over
surely
you can tell me
it's over, and over
??? coming you ster ????</at the same time>

and if I'm wasting all your time
this time
maybe you never learned to take
and if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale

hey hey hey yeah
something's just
something's just keeping you numb

you told me last night
you were a sun now with your very own

devoted satellite
happy for you
and I am sure that I hate you
too sons too many too many able fires

hey yes
<at the same time>
tori 1:
you've been wasting my time
this time
I said you never learned to take

tori 2:
you can tell me
it's over, it's over
you can tell me
over, all over
you're sure now

tori 3:
I said</at the same time>

and if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale
I guess I'm way beyond the pale
had me a trick and a kick and your message
you'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole


Father Lucifer (Boys for Pele)

Hey, 'ey
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane
you always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
tell me that you're still in love with that Milkmaid
how's the Lizzies
how's your Jesus Christ been hanging

'ey
nothings gonna stop me from floating
nothings gonna stop me from floating

a'
he says he reckons I'm a watercolour stain
he says I run and then I run from him
and then I run
he didn't see me watching
from the aeroplane
he wiped a tear
and then he threw away our appleseed

nothings gonna stop me from floating
nothings gonna stop me from floating

everyday's my wedding day
though baby's still in his comatose state
I'll die my own Easter eggs
don't go yet
and Beenie lost the sunset but that's OK
does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave
and girls that eat pizza and never gain weight
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane


Frog on my Toe (Talula single)

Poppa I know
there's a frog on my toe
maybe I'll call him Jethro.
maybe I'll grow up to be quite as good as he,
and maybe you'll come back after you're long gone.
and Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
and now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
cause I still hear you telling me still
slap them boys when they're naughty
make them crawl, make you haughty
make you strong little girl
you paint them toes that reddish color
and you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree

now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
and talk sometimes kind of like Gidget
and a funny little chants like an Indian Brave
you said we all grew fat when the white men came
but one day girl
you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
make them grow tall but have the grace
to be a lady with disgrace
and you fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands
and all you're my poppy's baby


Girl (Little Earthquakes)

From in the shadow she calls
And in the shadow she finds a way finds a way
And in the shadow she CRAWLS
Clutching her faded photograph my image UNDER her thumb
Yes with a message for my heart
Yes with a message for my heart

She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the doorway they stay
And laugh as violins fill with water
Screams from the BLUEBELLS can't make them go away
We'll I'm not seventeen but I've cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter takes one more CHERRY TREE

She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue and the drugstores too safe in their
coats anda in their do's yeah
Everyone else's girl maybe one day maybe one day one day one day she'll be
her own
smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots

And in the mist there she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist I hold tight
And I ride to work every morning wondering why
"Sit in the chair and be good now"
and become all that they told you
the white coats enter her room
and I'm callin' my baby callin' my baby callin' my baby callin'
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

Happy Phantom (Little Earthquakes)

And if I die today I'll be the HAPPY Phantom
And I'll go chasin' the nuns out in the yard
And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
And I will never need umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day
And the atrocities of school I can forgive
The HAPPY phantom has no right to bitch

Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will we pay for who we been

So if I die today I'll be the HAPPY phantom
And I'll go wearin' my NAUGHTIES like a jewel
They'll be my ticket to the universal opera
There's Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand
And then these seven little men get up to dance
they say Confucius does his crossword with a pen
I'm still the angel to a girl who hates to SIN

Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been

Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back
You found a girl that you could TRULY love again
Will you still call for me when she falls asleep
Or do we soon forget the things we cannot see

Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been

And if I die today
And if I die today
And if I die today
Chasin' the nuns out in the yard


Hey Jupiter (Boys for Pele)

no one's picking up the phone
guess it's me and me
and this little masochist
she's ready to confess
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel and

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
and I thought i wouldn't have to be with you
a.. something new

sometimes I breathe you in
and I know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
found your writing on my wall
leave my hearts soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
and I thought you wouldn't had to keep
with me
hiding

huu hua huuh
huu hu hu hua hu hu
huu hu huuh
yes

thought I knew myself so well
all the dolls I had
took my leather off the shelf
your apocalypse was fab
for a girl who couldn't choose between
the shower or the bath

and I thought I wouldn't have to be
with you
a magazine

huu hua hu
huu hu hu hua hu hu
huu hu ahu hue
yes

huu hua ahuuh
huu hu hu hua hu hu
huu hu ahu hue
yes

no one's picking up the phone
guess it's clear he's gone
and this little masochist
is lifting up her dress
guess I thought I could never feel
the things I feel and

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to

hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you sane
now we're through
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
hey Jupiter


Home on the Range (God single)

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day

Well Jackson made deals
a thief down to his heels
had a long trail of tears
the Smokies could hide Cherokee bride
her brave was shot yesterday

Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day

Mmm, We know it's not Caroline
your home is your home
the range may be fine
for some but not in my eyes

Home on the range
the Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride but in her eyes
we know it's not Caroline

yeah, America
hey, America
oh, who discovered your ass?

The white man came
"This land is MY Land
this is your land" they sang

Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day.


Horses (Boys for Pele)

I got me some Horses
to ride on
to ride on
they say that your demons
can't go there
so I got me some Horses
to ride on
to ride on
as long as your army
keeps perfectly still

and maybe I'll find me a sailor
a tailor
and maybe together
we'll make mother well
so I got me some Horses
to ride on
to ride on
as long as your army
keeps perfectly still
you showed me the meadow
and Milkwood
and Silkwood
and you would if I would
but you never would
so I chased down your posies
your pansies in my hosies
then opened my hands
and they were empty then

off with Superfly
sniffing a Sharpie pen
honey it's Bill and Ben
off with Superfly
counting your bees
oh me honey like
one two three
the camera is rolling
it's easy like

one
two
three
and if there is a way to find you
I will find you
but you will find me if Neil
makes me a tree an afro a pharaoh
I can't go you said so
but threads that are golden don't break easily

so I got me some Horses
to ride on
to ride on
they say that your demons
can't go there
so I got me some Horses
to ride on
to ride on
as long as your army
keeps perfectly still
keeps perfectly still
keeps perfectly still

Leather (Little Earthquakes)

Look I'm standing naked before you
Don't you want more than my sex
I can scream as loud as your last one
But I can't claim innocence

Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And its NOT THE WEATHER
Hand me my leather

I could just pretend that you love me
The night would lose all sense of fear
But why do I need you to love me
When you can't hold what I hold dear

Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And its NOT THE WEATHER
Hand me my leather

I almost ran over an angel
He had a nice big fat cigar
"IN A SENSE" he said "you're alone here
So if you jump you best jump far"

Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And its NOT THE WEATHER
Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god its all very clear
If love isn't forever
And its NOT THE WEATHER
Hand me my leather


Liquid Diamonds (From the Choirgirl Hotel)

Surrender then start your engines
you'll know quite soon what my mistake was
for those on horse back or dog sled
you turn at the bend in the road
I hear she still grants forgiveness
although I willingly forgot her
the offering is molasses and you say
I guess I'm an underwater thing
I'm liquid running
there's a sea secret in me
it's plain to see it is rising
but I must be flowing liquid diamonds
calling for my soul
at the corners of the world
I know she's playing poker
and if your friends don't come back to you
and you know this is madness
a lilac mess in your prom dress
and you say
I guess I'm an underwater thing


Little Amsterdam (Boys for Pele)

Little Earthquakes (Little Earthquakes)

Yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing
Good year for hunters and Christmas parties
and I hate
and I hate
and I hate
and I hate elevator music
The way we fight
The way I'm left here silent

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

We danced in graveyards with vampires till dawn
We laughed in the faces of king never afraid to burn
and I hate
and I hate
and I hate
and I hate disintegration
Watching us wither
Black winged roses that safely changed their COLOR

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
can't reach you
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces


London Girls (Talula single)

Lyrics by: Hodges & Peacock

some people sing about Deutsche girls or girls from California
they might be alright for a night, alright
but don't trust them I warn ya
I've been to the east, and I've to the west
and I've been the world around
but I ain't seen alike anywhere near a girl from a London town

ah aa..mm
give me a London girl every time
I've gotta find one, I've made up my mind
give me a London girl every time
I want a London girl

marry a girl from London town
you know that you can trust her
she'll darn your socks
and wash you ever
then your trousers won't bust 'em, yes
and they're all good cooks
and they got good looks
and they won't (let/lead) you down once
and I gotta find a London girl
if I ever get to have a chance

so, give me a London girl every time
I've gotta find one, I've made up my mind
give me a London girl every time
I want a London girl

London girls are the best in the world
there ain't no doubt about it
if you can't find a girl from (La..) London town
you're better off with doin' without it
don't create when your hands come home late
and you're crawling up the passage floor
they don't mock about, yes
when you're going out with a geezer, from a house next door

give me a London girl every time
I've gotta find one, I've made up my mind
i said: (oh now / honey)
give me a London girl, babe, every little time
your legs turn to jelly, and they get a little smelly
but I know it's just, what I want cause
I need a London girl, oh every time
they always got a pound to buy their a.. round
when it's their turn at the bar

Me and a Gun (Little Earthquakes)

5am friday morning thursday night far from sleep
I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live
Got a full tank and some chips

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants

You can laugh
Its kind of funny
Things you think
Times like these
Like I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread for you, your friends
Your father, Mr Ed

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this

And I know what this means
Me and Jesus a few years back used to hang
And he said "it's your choice babe just remember
I don't hink you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well"
Tell me whats right
Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this

and do you know CAROLINA
Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through your head when there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach it's not a classic caddilac

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this
I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this


Mother (Little Earthquakes)

Go go go go now
Out of the nest it's time
Go go go now
Circus girl without a safety net
Here here here now don't cry
You raised your hand for the assignment
Tuck those ribbons under your helmet
Be a good soldier
First my left foot then my right behind the OTHER
Pantyhose running in the cold

Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Green limosine for the redhead DANCING dancing girl
And when I dance for him
Somebody leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come from

I walked into your dream
And now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream
You are the CLEVER one aren't you
Brides in veils for you
We told you all of our secrets
All but one
And don't you even try
The phone has been disconnected
Dripping with blood and with time and with your advice
Poison me against the MOON

Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Black chariot for the redhead DANCING dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come from

I escape into your escape into our very favorite fearscape
It's across the sky and across my heart and I cross my legs oh my god
First my left foot then my right behind the other
Breadcrumbs lost under the snow

Oo who mother
Oo mother the car is here
Maybe maybe you'll leave the light on for the for the for the dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light
Just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come come from

Mother mother mother


Mr Zebra (Boys for Pele)

hello Mr Zebra
can I have your sweater
cause it's cold cold cold
in my hole hole hole
Ratatouille Strychnine
sometimes she's a friend of mine
with a gigantic whirlpool
that will blow your mind

hello Mr Zebra
ran into some confusion with a Mrs Crocodile
furry mussels marching on
she thinks she's Kaiser Wilhelm
or a civilised syllabub
to blow your mind
figure it out
she's a goodtime fella
she got a little fund to fight for Moneypenny's rights
figure it out
she's a goodtime fella
too bad the burial was premature she said
and smiled


Muhammed my friend (Boys for Pele)

Muhammad my friend
it's time to tell the world
we both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
and on that fateful day
when she was crucified
she wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea
by her side

at
sweet sweet sweet
used to be so sweet to me

Muhammad my friend
I'm getting very scared
teach me how to love my brothers
who don't know the law
and what about the deal on the flying
trapeze got a peanut butter hand
but honey do drop in at the
Dew Drop Inn

i said
sweet sweet sweet
between the boys and the bees
sweet (sweet, sweet) sweed sweed yes
between the boys and the bees

and Moses I know
I know you've seen fire
but you've never seen fire
until you've seen Pele blow
and I've never seen light
but I sure have seen gold
and Gladys save a place for me
on your grapevine
till I get my own -honey- TV show

ashre ashre ashre ashre
and if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the
tidal wave I got a place
in the Pope's rubber robe
I said
Muhammad my friend
it's time to tell the world
we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem
we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem
we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem


Northern Lad (From the Choirgirl Hotel)

Had a Northern lad
well not exactly had
he moved like the sunset
god who painted that-
first he loved my accent
how his knees could bend
I thought we'd be ok
me and my molasses
But I feel something is wrong
But I feel this cake just isn't done
Don't say that you Don't
and if you could see me now
said if you could see me now
girls you've got to know
when it's time to turn the page
when you're only wet because of the rain
you know it's time to change
he don't show much these days
it gets so fucking cold
I loved his secret places
but I can't go anymore
"you change like sugar cane"
says my northern lad
I guess you go too far
when pianos try to be guitars
I feel the west in you
and I feel is falling apart too
Don't say that you Don't
and if you could see me now
said if you could see me now
girls you've got to know
when it's time to turn the page
when you're only wet because of the rain
you know it's time to change
when you're only wet
because of the rain


Not the red baron (Boys for Pele)

<dutch part>

Not the Red Baron
Not Charlie Brown
think I got the message figured
another pilot down
and are their devils with halos
in beautiful capes
taking them into the flames
taking them into the flames

Not Judy G
Not Jean Jean Jean with a hallowed
heart
I see that screen go
down in the flames
with every step with every beautiful heel
pointed

I said
Not the Red Baron I'm sure
Not Charlie's wonderful dog
not anyone I really know
just another pilot down
maybe I'll just sing him a last
little sound many there know some girls
with red ribbons
the prettiest
red
ribbons

<dutch part>dat kun je er ook bij zeggen</dutch part>


Over it (God single)

There are no words in this song


Pandora's Aquarium (From the Choirgirl Hotel)

Pandora
Pandora's Aquarium
she dives for shells
with her nautical nuns
and thoughts you thought
you'd never tell

I am not asking you to believe in me
Boy I think you're confused
I'm not Persephone
foam can be dangerous
with tape across my mouth
those things you do
I never asked you how

Line me up in single file
with all your grievances
Stare but I can taste
you're still alive
below the waste
ripples come and ripples go
and ripple back to me

Pandora
Pandora's aquarium
she dives for shells
with her nautical nuns
and thoughts you thought
you'd never tell
Line me up in single file
with all your grievances
Stare but I can taste
you're still alive below the waste
ripples come and ripples go
and ripple back to me
I am not asking you to believe in me

Boy I think you're confused
I'm not Persephone
She's in New York somewhere
checking her accounts
The Lord of The Flies was diagnosed as Sound


Past The Mission (Under the Pink)

I don't believe I went too far
I said I was willing, willing, willing
she said she knew what my books did not
I thought she knew what's up

Past the mission behind the prison tower
past the mission I once knew a hot girl
past the mission they're closing every hour
past the mission I smell the roses

She said they all think they know him well
she knew him better, better, better
everyone wanted something from him
I did too but I shut my mouth
and he just gave me a smile

Past the mission behind the prison tower
past the mission I once knew a hot girl
past the mission they're closing every hour
past the mission I smell the roses
past the mission I smell the roses

Hey they found a body
not sure it was his, still they're using his name
and she gave him shelter
<at the same time>
tori 1:and somewhere I know she knows
and somewhere I know she knows

tori2:she knows she's losing us
she knows she's losing us
</at the same time>

something only she knows

Past the mission behind the prison tower
past the mission I once knew a hot girl
past the mission they're closing every hour
past the mission I smell the roses
past the mission behind the prison tower
past the mission I once knew a hot girl
past the mission they're closing every hour
past the mission I smell the roses
past the mission I smell the roses
past the mission I smell the roses


Playboy Mommy (From the Choirgirl Hotel)

In my platforms I hit the floor
fell face down
didn't help my brain out
then the baby came
before I found the magic how to keep her happy
I never was the fantasy of what you want wanted me to be

don't judge me so harsh little girl
so you got a playboy mommy
but when you tell 'em my name
you wannna cross that bridge all on your own
little girl, they'll you no harm
cause I know your playboy mommy
but when you tell them my name
from here to Birmingham
I got a few friends

I never was there was there when it counts
I get my way
you're so like me
you seemed ashamed
ashamed that I was a good friend of American soldiers
I'll say it loud here by your grave
those angels can't ever take my place

don't judge me so harsh little girl
you got a playboy mommy
but when you tell 'em my name
and you wanna cross that bridge all on your own
little girl, they'll you no harm
cause I know your playboy mommy
but you just tell 'em my name
you tell them my name
I got a few friends

well, I use 'em

somewhere where the the orchids grow
I can't find those church bells
that played when you died
played Gloria
talkin 'bout Hosanah
don't judge me so harsh little girl
you got a playboy mommy, come home
but when you tell them soldiers my name
cross that bridge all on your own
little girl, they'll you no harm
cause I know your playboy mommy
but i'll be home, i'll be home
to take take you in my heart
