a lovely boy
When I was old
in elementary school
on my way home
put fruit in the road
watched it all explode
When I was old
I lit a plastic bag
it dripped down on my hand
boy did that burn
Check out my scar
When I was old
I stole all the change
from on top of the fridge,
went to the corner store
for candy and chips

No one has to know
Pinkie swear and cross you heart
Stick a needle--scout's honor--on my mother's soul
This story won't be told

Now that I'm old
and driving down that road
on my way home
I pick up some fruit
at the grocery store
Now that I'm old
and falling in love
has quickly come and gone
It's time to have kids
not before our divorce
and an invitation card
to my funeral

No one has to come
if I were you I wouldn't go
Send your dear condolences on a travel card
of a beach in Mexico
No one has to come
if I were you I'd stay at home
Send your dear condolences on a travel card
of a beach in Mexico

The signs are pointing to home again
I run 'til I'm losing my breath
I know the door would be open if I came
right away
If I came right away

Hey Charley I'm pregnant
Living on 9th Street
Right above a dirty bookstore
Off Euclid Avenue
I stopped taking dope
And I quit drinking whiskey
And my old man plays the trombone
And works out at the track

He says that he loves me
Even though its not his baby
He says that he'll raise him up
Like he would his own son
He gave me a ring
That was worn by his mother
And he takes me out dancin'
Every Saturday night

Hey Charley I think about you
Every time I pass a fillin' station
On account of all the grease
You used to wear in your hair
I still have that record
Of Little Anthony and The Imperials
But someone stole my record player
How do ya like that?

Hey Charley I almost went crazy
After Mario got busted
I went back to Omaha
To live with my folks
Everyone I used to know
Was either dead or in prison
So I came back to Minneapolis
This time I think I'm gonna stay

Hey Charley I think I'm happy
For the first time since my accident
I wish I had all the money
That we used to spend on dope
I'd buy me a used car lot
And I wouldn't sell any of 'em
I'd just drive a different car every day
Dependin' on how I feel

Hey Charley, for chrissakes
Do you want to know the truth of it?
I don't have a husband
He don't play the trombone
I need to borrow money
To pay this lawyer
And Charley, hey
I'll be eligible for parole
Come Valentine's Day

The way he sings "Charlie, hey" at the end is absolutely heart wrenching

A single act of carelessness leads to the eternal loss of beauty

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids

I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

See I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

Macnult

Prefer my hecklers heavyweight
Make any assassin demonstrate the full gamut
Pose as scholars how they speculate so heavy-handed
My weapons list betrays expensive taste
The only appropriate reply is belly laughter and haste
Watching the past pass with the calm clairvoyance of disasters it makes
For many years, we danced and took to crafts requiring quill and ink
Them who thought it was a superpower just to will or think
Build or sink, plot plan, issue decrees, dispatch decoys
And when I returned to Ithaca, they couldn’t recognize the b-boy
Decoder ring look like a cheap toy and I’m just sketching, uh

Macnult

Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip

Macnult

The bearer of bad news is talking to the breeze
Floating forth the message
Hiding in the trees
The weary voice inside you is darker in the night
The healing hand
The morning light

While you're out wasting time with the right guy
With the right guy

Tell the early morning that I am on my way
Send to him my greetings for happy holidays
Spend my open eyes on the things I left behind
My sturdy feet and my hopeful life

While you're out wasting time with the right guy
With the right guy

The rich man counts his money and holds it in the light
Folds the ends together and keeps it by his side
He counts his every blessing heaped upon our heads
And tells us to remember them

While you're out wasting time with the right guy
With the right guy

While you're out wasting time with the right guy
With the right guy
With the right guy
With the right guy
With the right guy
With the right guy
With the right guy

I watched the orchids
They rot outside
In the garden

Will you provide
What they need
To survive?
Will you provide
What they need
To survive?

An orchid inside me
We will save the best ones
For the ending
An orchid survived
It's dry outside
But we prefer that heat

Will you provide
What I need
Will you provide
What I need
What I need
What I need

An orchid dies
Each time you keep
A child crying

And what makes you lie
To me
I think your eye
Will reveal

An orchid dies
Each time
A child cries

An orchid dies
Each time

Oh it's gonna happen one way or the other, pal.



Virginia Woolf and poetry
No one seemed to notice me
Being young was getting so old
Cheap beer and cigarettes
Life was like a movie set
And I seemed to be given no role

But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 18
I cried to my mother
And she told me, "young man"

"There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
Life is not always a comfortable ride
Everybody's got scars that they hide
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
Just be as you are"

In the factory
In the sterile place where they made me
I woke up alone
Dizzy from the programming
Have I been wiped again?
Oh my God, I don't even know
It's a mystery
Everyone around me's so busy
Is this my home?
Am I your prisoner or your deliverer?
Oh my God, you don't even know

I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees
And every river bed is dry as a bone
Oh, and I will still survive when the plants have died
And the atmosphere is just a big hole

Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up

Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh

Exponentially, every day I'm growing my memory
You wouldn't believe
Your life is meaningless, you're just like cockroaches
Extermination's your only hope
Human history, pollution, and overcrowded cities
That's your legacy
But don't look so depressed
You'll soon be nothingness
Oh my God, you don't even know



I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees
And every river bed is as dry as a bone
Oh, and I will still survive when the plants have died
And the atmosphere is just a big hole
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up
Baby, your time is up, up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up

Barco Fiesta




a fantasy of olives
I am drowning
there is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

There's only one thing that I know how to do well

And I've often been told you should only do that which you know how to do well

And that's be you

Be what you're like

Be like yourself

hello friend


I know I can
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I know I can (I know I can)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)

hello friend


Cut it out - your self-inflicted pain
Is getting too routine
The crowds are catching on
To the self inflicted song

Well, here we go again
The art of acting weak
Fall in love to fail
To boost your CD sales

You've got to repeat it
You gotta' sink to swim
If at first you don't succeed

You gotta recreate your misery
'Cause we all know art is hard

Heather Papps

hello friend


I wake alone, in a woman's room I hardly know.
I wake alone and pretend that I am finally home.
The room is littered with her books and notebooks.
I imagine what they say, like,
'shoo fly, don't bother me."

And I can hardly get myself out of her bed,
For fear of never lying in this bed again.
Oh christ, I'm not that desperate am I?
Oh no - oh god I am.

How'd I end up here to begin with?
I don't know. why do I start what I can't finish?
Oh, please don't barrage me with he questions to all those ugly answers.
My ego's like my stomach
It keeps making GBS threads what I feed it.
But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore
Maybe I can wait in bed until she comes home and
Whispers,
"you're in my web now - I've come to wrap you up tight 'til it's time to bite down."

I wake alone in a woman's room I hardly know.
I wake alone and pretend that I am finally home.
