"My Other Voice"

"My Other Voice"



You're so independent but that's gonna change real soon
With my other voice I can destroy this room
I'll wrap my voice around you and I'll drag you everywhere
My other voice

You think you're romantic, well I'll whisper in your ear
I'll be all you'll hear for years and years and years
You may be deaf to everything, you won't be deaf to me
My other voice

"Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth"

"Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth"



When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favours

Never turn your back on mother earth

Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me

Never turn your back on mother earth

Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing

Never turn your back on mother earth

Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return to my friends
To my friends

Never turn your back on mother earth

I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now I'll be more faithful

Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never t urn your back on mother earth

"Nicotina"

"Nicotina"



Not every cigarette is a dead, dead thing
Some have a mind and try to be other things
Pushed in the pack, they crave some Virginia air
Softly, they pray to someone, but life ain't fair

They're born to lose
They're born to fill
The lungs of Jack
The lungs of Jill
And like I said
Life just isn't fair

Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina is her name

Once in a while a cigarette has a name
N-I-C-O-T-I-N-A, that's her name
She had a tiny voice, and she sang all day
She was a cigarette, but she loved to play

Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina is her name

A man with a cough
Stepped to the machine
Dropped coins in the slot
The end of a dream

He ripped the pack and coughed, and then coughed again
Popped out a cigarette, and we're near the end
She screamed and screamed but so much was filtered out
Now Nicotina's only a tiny cloud

Nicotina's gone, but life goes on though
Nicotina's gone, but life goes on though
Nicotina's gone, but life goes on and on and on and on and on
Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina was her name

"Noisy Boys"

"Noisy Boys"



Whispering breeze and the sound of the rain on the awning
Candlelight music, the sound of the rain in the air
All of that makes me feel nervous
I know it's part of your life
But once in a while I just got to be riled
You know it ain't nothin' personal babe

But noisy boys are happy boys
Let it out, let it out, get it crashing
Noisy boys are happy boys
Let it out, let it out, get it smashing
Noisy boys are happy boys
Let it out, let it out, keep on crashing
Noisy boys are happy boys
Let it out, let it out, let it out all the way

Hush little momma, your daddy has got to be moving
Hush little momma, your daddy is going away
Once in a while I get edgy
You've seen it happen before
Once in a while I just got to be riled
You know it ain't nothin' personal babe

"Nothing Is Sacred"

"Nothing Is Sacred"



NOTHING...no nothing, IS...is, SACRED ...no sacred, ANY MORE
Adding some of this to some of that Madame Science wins again
We are now forever people, we'll outlive our will to live

Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more

I remember when I needed you several billion years ago
If you'll hang on just a trifle more I might need you once again

Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more

I am sure you will appreciate your new found leisure time
I am sure we will appreciate our new found leisure time

Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more

Well, if you have the money I've got time
And if you know a honey I've got time

If you have the money I've got time
And if you know a honey I've got time

Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more...

"Nothing To Do"

"Nothing To Do"



I want you
I want you bad
I need you
I need you
I do, I really do

Better drop the requirement that
everything be great
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do

I come home
I throw my coat down
I spin round
I plop down
Gimme a break, a break

Better drop the requirement that
everything be great
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do

If I had a million thumbs
I'd twiddle, twiddle
But I just have two
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do

I see you
I don't want much
Just something
A little something
To do, to do

Better drop the requirement that
everything be great
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do

"Now That I Own The BBC"

"Now That I Own The BBC"


What was I thinking, what was I thinking
What was I thinking, what could I have been thinking
It's going one time, it's going two times
Sold to the gent who wears the stunned expression

As I took it off their hands
A five pound note was changing hands
As I took it off their hands
I had plans, I had plans

[CHORUS:]
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing

All this power, all this glory
All these DJs and all these lorries
What was I thinking, what was I thinking
What was I thinking, what could I have been thinking

Hey Rupert Murdoch, help me out
I'm flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to lay things out
For the refined and unrefined

[CHORUS]

Hey Ted Turner, help me out
I'm flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to work things out
To colorize and still feel fine

[CHORUS]

Make of it what you will, make of it what you will
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will

Should we go brighter, should we go lighter
Should we go whiter, go left or righter
What was I thinking, what was I thinking
I wasn't drinking, what could I have been thinking

[CHORUS]

Make of it what you will, make of it what you will
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will

[CHORUS]

We'll be your father in the air
We'll try to look calm and cool
But we're as scared as all of you (Ha, ha)

Jewelers
G-men

Unless your daddy's filthy rich
You need
La, La
An occupation for you.

"Over The Summer"

"Over The Summer"



You've got to trust in summer, miracles can happen if you do
'Cause all that heat speeds change in everything, maybe even you

If you're a summertime believer
If you're a summertime believer
July, you were the plainest of Janes
Through August, you got rearranged
September, you're not just a brain

Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer
I tried to find myself this summertime,
I found you instead
And please forgive me Karen, but in June you were kind of dead
But, then we had that three day hot spell

You really turned into a bombshell
July, you were the plainest of Janes
Through August, you got rearranged
September, you're not just a brain
Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer

Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Lying there, lying there, lying there, getting hot

You know the records that I got in June don't sound good no more
And all the clothes I bought in June are now rotting in my drawers
But you're a different girl, much better
A little redder, but much better

Was it just the heat of the sun
Was it that you had lots of fun
I wish that the summer weren't done
Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer.
