"Goin' To Acapulco"
(with Jim James)
(from "I'm Not There" soundtrack)
"Goin' To Acapulco"
(with Jim James)
(from "I'm Not There" soundtrack)
I'm going down to Rose Marie's
She never does me wrong.
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song.
It's a wicked life but what the hell
The stars ain't falling down.
I'm standing outside the Taj Mahal
I don't see no one around.
Goin' to Acapulco
Goin' on the run.
Goin' down to see fat gut
Goin' to have some fun.
Yeah
Goin' to have some fun.
Now, whenever I get up
And I ain't got what I see
I just make it down to Rose Marie's
'Bout a quarter after three.
There are worse ways of getting there
And I ain't complainin' none.
If the clouds don't drop and the train don't stop
I'm bound to meet the sun.
Goin' to Acapulco
Goin' on the run.
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun.
Yeah
Goin' to have some fun.
Now, if someone offers me a joke
I just say no thanks.
I try to tell it like it is
And keep away from pranks.
Well, sometime you know when the well breaks down
I just go pump on it some.
Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places
And just sit there waitin' for me to come.
Goin' to Acapulco
Goin' on the run.
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun.
Yeah
Goin' to have some fun.

"Green Grows The Holly"
"Green Grows The Holly"
Green grows the holly
And so does the ivy
Though winter blasts winds na'er so high
Green grows the holly
Gay are the flowers
Hedgerows and the ploughhands
The days grow long, longer in the sun
So soft fall the showers
Mmm
Full gold the harvest
And grain for your labor
With God must work for daily bread
Or else, man, we'll starve
Fast fall the shed leaves
Russet and yellow
But resting buds are smug and safe
Where swung the dead leaves
Swung the dead leaves
Green grows the holly
And so does the ivy
The God of life can never die
And hope, says the holly
Green grows the holly
Oh
Green grows the holly
So does the ivy
"Green Grows The Holly"
Green grows the holly
And so does the ivy
Though winter blasts winds na'er so high
Green grows the holly
Gay are the flowers
Hedgerows and the ploughhands
The days grow long, longer in the sun
So soft fall the showers
Mmm
Full gold the harvest
And grain for your labor
With God must work for daily bread
Or else, man, we'll starve
Fast fall the shed leaves
Russet and yellow
But resting buds are smug and safe
Where swung the dead leaves
Swung the dead leaves
Green grows the holly
And so does the ivy
The God of life can never die
And hope, says the holly
Green grows the holly
Oh
Green grows the holly
So does the ivy

"Grip-Tape"
"Grip-Tape"
Wait to rise long after dark
Been asleep at least three solid days
Wandering round this house just like a ghost
Searching for something in this life
That would fill the holes and satisfy
Your need to please everybody else
While your nerves shatter and fall apart
Wear out the grip-tape wrapped round your heart
Now you're dressed and ready for the kill
Check if your friends are asleep in bed
Same ones who left you to yourself
Make some noise and take a walk outside
All those years you kept the pain inside
Strangled any chance to love your own
And veer from your collision course
But you'd rather go out in a ball of flame
Grip-tape your name

"Half A Smidge"
"Half A Smidge"
When the evening sun is setting low
Blinding you on your drive home
And the lanes of traffic all converge
Causing you to curse every other word
For to wish it all away
Daily grind's got your screw stripped
No can of wd40 can fix your situation
Seems to be losing steam
Dream's been dropped on credit cards
And false hope pumping out of your soul
Like oil in the gulf it's a dead end
Drive it further deep into the ground
Till the point's dull as your skull
And the same sun that you curse
Powers your hybrid heart home
If only this car would move half a smidge
"Half A Smidge"
When the evening sun is setting low
Blinding you on your drive home
And the lanes of traffic all converge
Causing you to curse every other word

Daily grind's got your screw stripped
No can of wd40 can fix your situation
Seems to be losing steam
Dream's been dropped on credit cards
And false hope pumping out of your soul
Like oil in the gulf it's a dead end
Drive it further deep into the ground
Till the point's dull as your skull
And the same sun that you curse
Powers your hybrid heart home
If only this car would move half a smidge

"He Lays In The Reins"
"He Lays In The Reins"
One more drink tonight
As your gray stallion rests
Where he lays in the reins
For all of the speed and the strength he gave
One more kiss tonight
From some tall stable girl
She's like grace from the earth
When you're all tuckered out and tame
Nunca pense que jamás
Tener la oportunidad
De reencontrar el camino de nuevo
Para formar un mundo mejor"
One more tired thing
The gray moon on the rise
When your want from the day
Makes you to curse in your sleep at night
One more gift to bring
We may well find you laid
Like your steed in his reins
Tangled too tight and too long to fight
"He Lays In The Reins"
One more drink tonight
As your gray stallion rests
Where he lays in the reins
For all of the speed and the strength he gave
One more kiss tonight
From some tall stable girl
She's like grace from the earth
When you're all tuckered out and tame
Nunca pense que jamás

"Heavy With The Bass"
"Heavy With The Bass"
Right outta port angeles like a bullet with no pain
Driving north on the harbor freeway
Up and over st thomas vincent bridge
Making stops as you go, everyone you used to know
Flashing your fury, gonna lay your enemies to waste
Never hear them when they come
Hear them when they come
Drop 'em to the floor, settle every score as you roll on
Out of the southbay, into the san bernadinos
Down into the valley drivin' to meet your connection
Driving with the bass
Never heard you when you come
When you come
Heavy with the bass
Never heard you
Drop 'em to the floor blood pumping thru your vein
Riding off with the score
Driving 'neath the stars, you pull over to the side
A voice trickles from your heart
Now the bleeding won't stop
Now the bleeding won't stop
Drivin' you insane
Heavy with the bass
Only a bullet could stop your pain
Never heard you when you come
Never heard you when you come

"House Of Valparaiso"
"House Of Valparaiso"
Dialing in a forgotten voice
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Sweeping through illegal ports
Rising from the depths falling off the tongue
Ships drifting out of tune
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Many, many more, sculpting the shoreline
Etching the harbor and the people
Who’ve stayed afloat
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Dialing in a forgotten voice
Rising from the depths falling off the tongue
Sweeping through illegal ports
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Ships drifting out of tune
Can’t stop the waves coming like a ghost
Is that your shape
In the foam of the sea
After all these years
Coming home to me
La Chascona
Hearts to ocean
Vows unbroken
Lying in the bath fully clothed
Ready for the ocean’s wake
The tears won’t wash away
What her eyes can’t erase
Not safe to say in her native tongue
A radio voice drowning out
The general’s song lingering on
A raft made of books from a driftwood house
Returns to the waves
