"Cinderella"

"Cinderella"


I left my Cinderella at the payphone, with a pocket full of dimes
I get the feeling she's still researching, gonna leave me behind
When she comes to see me
When she comes

[Chorus:]
My Cinderella, gone in a day
Maybe it's better having her stay
Bullets and breakdowns,
Raindrops like lead,
My Cinderella, My Cinderella...

My days are numbered, I'm feathered and plundered (I can't say that I mind)
It might have been time.
But when she comes to see me, when she comes...

[Chorus]

(oooh) my Cinder- my Cinder- my Cinderella
(oooh) my my my my my my my my my

When she comes
When she comes

[Chorus (ad libbed)]

"Cracker / FSK"

"Cracker / FSK"


When it's raining in Texas,
It snows in Berlin.
And though your heart must be heavy,
But mine's made of lead.

Cause when it's raining in Texas,
This soldier is sad.
But if you're not my sweetheart,
I know you'll be my friend.

Well I've been round the world now,
And thought just of you
But I never fought you for what you couldn't do.

When it's raining in Texas,
It snows on the Rhine.
And that sad lazy river,
Would ease my poor mind.

[Lots of Mournful Yodeling]

And when the plane leaves from Frankfurt,
It will leave me behind.
Though I'd love to come see you,
But if I'm gonna be sad ...

When it springtime in Texas,
It rains on the Rhine.
And that sad lazy river,
Will ease my poor mind.

Yes, that sad lazy river,
Will soothe my poor soul.

Soothe my poor soul.

"Crackersoul"

"Crackersoul"


Hey, hey, it's okay
To make a little mess out of your life
'Cause you don't need a diagram
To tell you how to have a good time
I said, hey
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't mean to frighten you away
This is Crackersoul, it comes so easy
I said, hey
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't get your head a mess
This is just the best, when it comes easy
It comes so easy
Hey, hey, it's okay to
Never know the answer but ask why
(Why, oh, why?)
You don't need another burden
Come and party with your spirit guide
I said, hey
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't get your head a mess
This is Crackersoul
It comes so easy
I said, hey
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't get yourself distressed
Leave it for the rest, it comes so easy
It comes so easy
I said, hey
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't mean to frighten you away
This is Crackersoul, it comes so easy
I said, hey
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't get your head a mess
This is just the best, when it comes easy
I said, hey
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't get yourself distressed
Leave it for the rest, when it comes easy
I said, hey
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, don't mean to frighten you away
This is Crackersoul, it comes so easy
It comes so easy

"Darling One"

"Darling One"


I hear a voice that fights the wind, the rain that keeps fallin'
And I feel a river rushin' in between you and me
And you keep on lookin' for something that's not lost
And I wish that somehow I could carry you across

Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart? Sweetheart

When they told you that the great parade had long since passed
I saw you waiting there for the good times to come back
I'm feelin' blue 'cause there's so much to live up to
And I wish that somehow I could give it all to you

Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart? Sweetheart

I'm feelin' blue 'cause there's so much to live up to
And I wish that somehow I could give it all to you

Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart?
Why don't you rest your worries darling one, sweetheart? Sweetheart

"Darling We're Out Of Time"

"Darling We're Out Of Time"


Darling we're out of time
The sweet days of spring are gone
The wine that pours from the keg
Is bitter and dregs
Some say we gave it our best
So let's not bring up the rest
No sense in talking
We know where we went wrong
Darling we're out of time
All of the flowers are dead and they're dying
And leaves are tumbling down off of the trees
Darling we're out of time
So pack up that old circus tent
Even the animals know this is the end
Darling we're out of time
Darling we're out of time
Our best days have come
Our best days are gone
It's already hard
Let's not make it harder
Darling we're out of time
So put on that dirty red lipstick
You dress like a chick
Drawn by an outsider artist
Darling we're out of time
All of the flowers are dead and they're dying
And leaves are tumbling down off of the trees
Darling we're out of time
So pack up that old circus tent
Even the animals know that this is the end
Darling we're out of time
Darling we're out,
Darling we're out of time
Darling we're out,
Darling we're out of time
Darling we're out of time Darling we're out of time
Darling we're out, we're out of time
We're out of time
Darling we're out of time

"Dixie Babylon"

"Dixie Babylon"


We went down to the old part of town
By the stinking canal and the cotton mill
Under a ghetto palm with her bicycle shorts on
With a gesture she said to me
I really must confess
I'd like to get undressed with you
And though the thought had never really crossed my mind
Oh, but that was a lie
So we went along
We ran out under the turning leaves
And the fetid earth, it was damp and cool
Autumn's feeble light on her salty neck
All innocence, it was lost
I really must confess
I'm feeling quite distressed, my stars are always crossed
But I have always taken more than I have given back
And as a matter of fact, I've given nothing up

"Don't Bring Us Down"

"Don't Bring Us Down"


God gave you life
So get out of mine
And take your sorry ass
Back to Florida

You're not welcome here
Ain't it perfectly clear
Take your sorry ass
Back to Florida

[Chorus:]
You bring us down
Don't come around
You bring us down
You bring us down

[Repeat chorus]

You live a charmed life
But nothing seems right to you
Roses and wine
Thorns and vinegar

Your only delight
Is other's demise
So take your sorry ass
Back to Florida

[Repeat chorus x6]

"Don't Fuck Me Up (With Peace And Love)"

"Don't Fuck Me Up (With Peace And Love)"


Now here I am, the youngest old man in the world
And I have come to bring you my burden
Of every sleepless night without you in my arms
Of being bored and calm and sometimes sober
Don't mess me up by being kind
Don't mess me up by being wise
Now here I am, I am the angel of earth
And I have come to bring you my burden
Now here I am, I am the game warden of love
'Til someone took away my gin and tonic
Don't mess me up I'm on a roll
Keep being wise, I'll be inspired
Don't fuck me up with peace and love when I haven't got it in me
Don't fuck me up with peace and love when I haven't got it in me
I haven't got it in me
I haven't got it in me anymore
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love

"Dr. Bernice"

"Dr. Bernice"


Okay 1 2 3 2 2
Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice
She's not a lady doctor at all
She's got hands like a man
With hair on the back
She'll crush you with her embrace
Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
We all need a kind place to live
Though the wind may whisper and howl at your door
We all need the comfort of friends
Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice
That ain't a real Cadillac
It's a Delta 88 spray painted black
With fake leather seats from Juarez
Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
On a hot desert night it is still
Though the world may whisper and howl at your door
You're not obliged to let them all in
Okay Johnny
Baby don't you drive ride in that faux Cadillac
If you must please ride in the back
If you sing while you ride you'll be a siren tonight
Spare this poor sailor's life from the rocks
Though the wind may whisper a melody now
We can't find a tune of our own
Though the world may whisper and blow in your face
And tangle the hair on your head
On a hot desert night we can drive down the road
And the stars will spell out your name
On a hot desert night with the windows down wide
The sirens will sing me their song
And the ghosts of the sailors who died on the rocks
Feel not a twitch of regret
Though the wind may tangle the hair on your head
You sing like a siren to me
On a hot desert night, the caravan stops
At the oasis next to your heart
The soundtrack is played by some aged British queen
On BBC Radio One
Though the wind my whisper and epic sometimes
The cast must include Karen Black
Though the symphony strings shifts with the sand
You sing like a siren to me
You sing like a siren to me
You sing like a siren to me

"Duty Free"

"Duty Free"


Well there are some lines that can't be crossed
And sometimes those lines get lost

[CHORUS:]
Do you need anything from Duty Free?
I've got to get out of the wet UK

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

Jackson Haring and I were at London Arms
College drunks kicking pigeons in the asses
Yeah feathers flying, and bobbies whining
Like little drunken schoolboys we only thought we were kicking rats

[CHORUS:]
Will you need anything from Duty Free?
I got to get out of the wet UK
Do you need anything from Duty Free?
I've got to get back to the USA

[REPEAT DOs]

Liam Moore he comes from Kilken-ny
He's a singer and a painter, but not much behind the wheel
Drove my pick-up truck in Iowa into a drainage ditch
He said he thought it was valet parking for the Holiday Inn Express

Do you need anything from Duty Free?
I got to get back to Kil-, Kilken-ny
Do you need anything from Duty Free?
I've got to get the fuck outta the USA

[REPEAT DOs]

Well Frank Quinn is an Irish singer
A scuba-diving, paramedic, and a dead ringer
For every Irish fuck who ever had his picture on
A poster for the offices of Irish Tourism

Now I love Frank, and I love all o' his songs
And I love all o' his stories about fishing stiffs out of the Shannon
And how the moss and seaweed would grow upon the skin of the victims
And how one day Frank would go home, and get that gig again

Will you need anything from Duty Free?
I got to get out of the USA
Do you need anything from Duty Free?
I got to get the fuck out of the USA

[REPEAT DOs x2]
