This song is for the lovers out there
And all the lights on the trees
All the flowers have gingivitis
And the birds fly happily

We're together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby

I can't explain just why we lost it from the start
Living without you girl, you only break my heart ... Yeah!

I can feel it, I can hold it, I can pin it, shape it, mold it,
I can cut it, I can taste it, spank it
Beat it while you ... Ah, wait here

I've been looking for days now
Always hearing the same ol'
City boy won't you spank thru?
I can make you do things you won't think you ever could

I can feel it, I can hold it, pin it, shape it, mold it,
We can cut it, We can taste it, spank it
Beat it 'till you ... Ah, wait here

I've been looking for days now
Always hearing the same ol'
City boy won't you spank thru?
I can make you do things you won't think you ever could

I've been looking for days now
Always hearing the same ol'
City boy won't you spank thru?
I can make you do things you won't think you ever could
You won't think you ever could

. . .


Hey fellas have you heard the news?
You know that Annie's back in town.
It won't take long just watch and see,
All the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new but the face is the same,
As it was so long ago.
But from her eyes a different smile,
Like that of one who knows.

Well it's been ten years and maybe more,
Since I first set eyes on you.
The best years of my life gone by,
Here I am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die,
By the wicked ways of love.
But I'll just keep on rolling along
With no grace from the Lord above

People talking all around,
About the way you left me flat.
I don't care what the people say,
I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind,
If you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name,
When I try to make love to you.

Work so hard I couldn't unwind,
Get some money saved.
Abuse my love a thousand times,
However hard I tried.
Heartbreaker your time has come,
Can't take your evil way.
Go away heartbreaker.

. . .



Your life is shit
Shit
Your life is over
Bull
Your life is mine
Cry
Your life is hell
Hell
I'm gonna die
Dying with you just
I'm going to die
To wear my libido
I'm gonna try
To find it with you just
I'm gonna try
Do what they say

Your life is shit
Shit
Your life is strange
And insane
Your life is not the size of crap
Your life is now
Now

I'm gonna die
Dying with you just
I'm going to hell
Without my libido
I'm gonna try
To find it with you just
I'm going to hell
Without my libido
I'm gonna die
Dying with you just
I'm going to hell
Without my libido
I'm gonna try
To find it with you just
I'm gonna die
Do what they say

Your life is shit

"I'm gonna open myself up a flea market
I'm gonna open myself up a flea market
And you're gonna wish that you did
And retire on the profits
First off
I'm gonna empty out all of my Mrs. Butterworth jars
And I'm gonna put 'em on a shelf with my 800 dollar a month tax free Century 21
shop
And then I am going to put my Mrs. Butterworth syrup jars on the shelf
Next to all the commemorative fast food chain glasses and cups I've accumulated
over the past 62 years
Then I'm going to get some plywood
I'm going to get some plywood and cut them up into two by two piece squares
Then I'm going to get some burlap and I'm going to cut them into two by two
piece squares and then I'm going to put them onto the pieces of plywood
And then I'm going to go to the beach
I'm going to go to the beach and I'm gonna collect some shells and driftwood
And then I'm going to take the shells and driftwood and glue them onto the
plywood and burlap
And sell em for lots of money
People will be paying top dollar for my kids new used new toys and clothing
Then maybe someday I can get rid of that pissed stained matress I've been

. . .


Hello Cobain. Come on in. Floyd observes my hairy chin.
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid. Steamed hot towel on my face.

I was shaved. [x3]

Barney ties me to the chair. I can't see I'm really scared.
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip. Pee-pee pressed against my lips.

I was shaved. [x3]

I sense others in the room. Opie, Aunt be I presume.
They take turns and cut me up. I die smothered in Andy's snot.

I was shave. [x3]

Clean up before she comes [x5]
Living in a dusty town [x3]
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs

Twenty months has it all ([Alt:] Getting older)
I must be getting old ([Alt:] Ate my vegetables)
I must be getting old ([Alt:] Getting older)
I must be getting old ([Alt:] Ate my vegetables)
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs

Clean up the dusty town
Living in a dusty town [x3]
Clean up before she comes [x3]
Living in a dusty town

I must be getting old ([Alt:] Getting older)
I must be getting old ([Alt:] Ate my vegetables)

I'm starting to eat my vegetables

I need an easy friend.
I do, with an ear to lend.
I do think you fit this shoe.
I do, won't you have a clue.

[Chorus]
I'll take advantage while.
You hang me out to dry.
But I can't see you every night, free.

I standing in your line.
I do hope you have the time.
I do pick a number too.
I do keep a date with you.

[Chorus]...

[Solo]...

You're my favorite
Of my saviours
You're my favorite
Oh no

Yes you're my favorite
Of my favors
You're my razor
Oh no

Hey!
And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around
To remind me when not to be calm
And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around
To remind me when not to be calm
Calm, calm, calm

Ain't it a shame to go fishin on a Sunday

When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

And if you say your prayers
You will make God happy
And if you do what's true
You will make me happy
I'll keep you in a jar
And you will seem happy
I'll give you breathing holes
You will think you're happy, now

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room

And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll bring you fine rewards
Then you will feel happy
I'll keep you in my room
I'm sure you'll be happy
And if you save your soul
You will think you're happy now

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room

Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns.
And it makes your story our concern
And you set it up for returns

My opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x4]

And there seems to be a problem here.
Your state of emotion seems to clear.
You rise and fall like wall street stock
And you had an affect on our happy talk.

Our opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x2]
My opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x2]

Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns.
And it makes your story our concern
And you set it up for returns

I'm so happy.
Cause today I found my friends.
They're in my head.
I'm so ugly.
But that's ok. 'Cause so are you.
We've broke our mirrors.
Sunday morning.
Is everyday for all I care. And I'm not scared.
Light my candles.
In a daze cause I've found god.

Yeah [x bunch of times]

I'm so lonely.
And that's ok. I shaved my head.
And I'm not sad.
And just maybe.
I'm to blame for all I've heard. And I'm not sure.
I'm so excited.
I can't wait to meet you there.
And I don't care.
I'm so horny.
But that's ok. My will is good.

Yeah [x bunch of times]

[Chorus]
I like it.
I'm not gonna crack.
I miss you.
I'm not gonna crack.
I love you.
I'm not gonna crack.
I kill you.
I'm not gonna crack. [x2]

I'm so happy.

Light my candles.
In a daze cause I've found god.

Mom and dad went to a show
droped me off a Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please, oh no

[chorus]
Grandma take me home [x8]

Had to eat my dinner there

couldnt chew my meat too good

[chorus]

after dinner, i had ice cream
fell asleep, and watched tv
woke up in my mother's arms

[chorus]
Grandma take me home [x19]
I wanna be alone

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido

A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial

Come, as you are. As you were.
As I want you to be. As a friend.
As a friend. As an old enemy. Take your time.
Hurry up. The choice is yours. Don't be late.
Take a rest. As a friend. As a old memory, memory, memory, memory.

Come. Dowsed in mud. Soaked in bleach.
As I want you to be. As a trend. As a friend.
As an old memory, memory, memory, memory.

And I swear that I don't have a gun.
No I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun.

Memory, memory, memory, memory (don't have a gun).

And I swear that I don't have a gun.
No I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun.
No I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun. Memory, memory...

. . .


Somebody finally freed my brother
One more day to free my brother
Help me I won't find a way, no

I'm going there to free my brother
No one there to free my brother (Don't go there to free my brother?)
Help me I won't find a way, brother

He's the friend to revive
With all the love I got
In every way I love you (In every way I'll help you?)
Help me know

Going my way

. . .


She seems to think
She seems too weak
She takes a week to get over it

She likes the sea
She likes to see
She likes to think she has all of it

She likes the sound
She likes the sand
She likes to stand, she can't afford to sit

She likes to be
She's into guilt
Guilt

She likes to think
she likes to drink
She seems too weak, she takes all the rent

She likes the time
she owns the time
She borrows time to self-invent

She seems too weak
she likes to see
She likes to think she has all of it

She likes the sand
she likes to stand
She likes to sit
she likes to go
Go

She likes to be
She likes to go
Go

. . .


Rape me,
Rape me, my friend
Rape me,
Rape me again

I'm not the only one [x4]

Hate me,
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend

I'm not the only one [x4]

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me,
Rape me, my friend
Rape me,
Rape me again

I'm not the only one [x4]

Rape me..............

. . .


Rape me,
Rape me, my friend
Rape me,
Rape me again

I'm not the only one [x4]

Hate me,
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend

I'm not the only one [x4]

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me,
Rape me, my friend
Rape me,
Rape me again

I'm not the only one [x4]

Rape me..............

. . .


She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Hey
Wait
I've got a new conplaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

. . .


If I may
And if I might
Lie me down
Weeping
And if I say
What it's like
I might be
Dreaming

If I may
What is right
Some make time
To see me bleed

Those years in his bonet
A phrase from his pocket
And chains of a knowing
life long dream
Dream
Do re mi

If I may
And if I might
Wake me up
And see me

And if I do
And if I lie
Find me out
At sea

And if I may
Cold as ice
I might have to
See me
Dream

The rays in his socket
A phrase from this moment
The chase on his socket I will need

Dream
Do re mi

Wish me good
Wish made light
Find me out
At sea

He's under a wave
Just be quiet
Follow pain
And grieving

Yell 'oh well'
and if I sigh
Seek me out
teeming

If I may
If I might
Golden gun
To bleed

And praise in his pocket
Rays from his women
Chains from his knowing
life long dream

Do re mi
Dream

. . .


I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you

Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good

I will move away from here
You wont be afraid of fear
No thought was put in to this
I always knew it would come to this

Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to feel
Pain [3x]

You Know your Right [3x]

I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let’s talk about someone else
Steaming soup against her mouth
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself

I will move away from here
You wont be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew to come like this

Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to feel
Pain [5x]

You know Your Right [17x]

Pain [1x]


[Thanks to [email protected] for these lyrics]

What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feed as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqur scafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all we all are
