"Get Off This"

"Get Off This"


All these cats with holey jeans
Dirty hair and titty rings
Say, "What's your scene man? We got these questions
Is it true that you have sold your soul?"
I say "Hey man, I don't know
Lend me a quarter, won't you? I'll call my accountant"

Let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start this minute

Petty little Ayatollahs
Come around to judge and stone ya
All's we're trying to do is make a fortune
Yeah, we ain't got no government loans
And no one sends a check from home
But get this: we're just doin' what we wanna

So let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start this minute

Well the guitar player's stayin'
Out in Hollywood and sayin'
He's just tryin' to get some sleep but everyone's complainin'
Are you truly deeply cynical
'Cause boy you know that I loved you so
When no one knew your name and you were pompous

Let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth

Get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth, yeah

"Get Outta My Head"

"Get Outta My Head"


Someone please save us
Save us from our wicked little selves
We're bent or courageous
We're drifting so it's hard for me to tell

I wanna make you mine all of the time
I wanna be your [?] man
Get outta my head or into my bed.
Get outta my head or into my bed.

I had a dream about you last night
I had a dream about you last night

Yeah we were contageous
We were both covered up with bees
I felt so outrageous
The hip priest man, he ain't got nothing on me

I wanna make you mine all of the time
I wanna be your [?] man
Get outta my head or into my bed.
Get outta my head or into my bed.

I had a dream about you last night
I had a dream about you last night

"Gimme One More Chance"

"Gimme One More Chance"


Come on little darling give me one more chance
Come on little darling give me one more chance
Come on little darling give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
I like 'em big, I like 'em tall
I like that girl from down the hall
But most of all, I want you
I want you
I like 'em nice, sometimes maligned
I like 'em mean, jealous eyes are green
But most of all, I want you
I miss you
Where have you been lately?
Come on little darling give me one more chance
Come on little darling give me one more chance
Come on little darling give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
I like 'em true, with eyes of blue
I like 'em vain, these girls from Spain
But most of all, I want you
I miss you
I like 'em high, high as kites
Girls that party, stay out all night
These girls make Sam green eggs and ham
I can't help myself
Where have you been lately?
Yeah

"Good Times Bad Times"
(originally by Led Zeppelin)

"Good Times Bad Times"
(originally by Led Zeppelin)



In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man
Now that I've reached that age, I try to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I tried, I find my way to the same old jam

Good times, bad times, you know I had my share
Well, my woman left home with a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

Seventeen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'til the end
But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend

Good times, bad times, you know I had my share
Well, my woman left home with a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

Good times, bad times, you know I had my share
Well, my woman left home with a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet baby, we ain't never gonna part

"Guarded By Monkeys"

"Guarded By Monkeys"


You are so beautiful
You should be hid deep in the jungle
On some forgotten island
I heard about you
I got your PGP key
I write you letters every day
[CHORUS:]
You are so beautiful
You should be guarded by monkeys
You are so beautiful
[REPEAT CHORUS]
I have invented
51 daylights
This does not seem to impress you
You are so beautiful
Sublime and classified
I can't stop thinking about you
[REPEAT CHORUS X2]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
You are so beautiful
You should be hid deep in the jungle
You are so beautiful
[REPEAT CHORUS X2]
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful

"Hallelujah"

"Hallelujah"


We sang Hallelujah, has it stopped raining?
Though the priest had stopped believing a long ago
And his companion began to a laugh at the irony o' that
And we walked along in an uncomfortable silence
Yeah Ha-ha-hallelujah
Ha-ha-hallelujah
St. Patrick led the sailor into the wasteland
A herd of swine surrounded them one day
It was the answer to their prayers, a sure sign that God, He cared
But McCarthy disagreed, "It's not that simple"
So Hallelujah
Hallelujah
The fisherman, he rode the city's river
The dirty water rose through sorry planks
And the vandal Moranjou 'pon Gay Street heard the news
They commissioned him to rise up from the cobbles
Yeah Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

"Hand Me My Inhaler"

"Hand Me My Inhaler"


I'm here
You're there
But I'm not really where I wanna be
It's cold
Out here
Come on little darlin' wont'cha open up your door
Just hand me my inhaler
And walk a little more
Even if you've got that sign hangin on your door
Hand my inhaler
And my old 45's
Gotta reform the band, without you
I'm here
And you're there
And I'm as happy as I'll ever be
So hand my my inhaler
And walk a little more
Even if you've got sign hanging on your door
Yeah
Hand my my inhaler
And my old 45's
Gotta reform the band without you
Without you

"Happy Birthday To Me"

"Happy Birthday To Me"


I was having a good sleep in my car
In the parking lot of the Showboat Casino-Hotel
I say "I remember you, you drive like a P.T.A. mother
You brought me draft beer in a plastic cup"
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today
I remember you, I crashed your wedding
With some orange crepe paper and some Halloween candy
Uh, sometimes I wish I were Catholic (I don't know why)
I guess I'm happy to see your face at a time like this
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
Happy birthday baby to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me

"Heaven Knows I'm Lonely Now"

"Heaven Knows I'm Lonely Now"


Wake up Miss Maria I think that she been off
From falling off at Boston you're walking up a couple o' blocks
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now

I'm kissin' ass on Monday, just want someone to hear my song
It's lonely at the bottom, that's why there's no-one hangin' around
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now

Don't wake up Miss Christina 'cause she and I don't see eye to eye
Something 'bout some money, some night we spent together, oh my
Well heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now

Wake up Miss Maria 'cause I think she's been sleepin' it off
From falling off a bar stool, 'cause man you know that's lots o' hard work
Well heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now

(heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now)
(heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now)

"Hey Bret (You Know What Time It Is)"

"Hey Bret (You Know What Time It Is)"


My people came out of the forests and the mountains,
into this unpromising land.
Scratched out a living in this desert valley,
hard living for any man.

It weren't no Eden, as cold as Sweden,
like Hades in the summer time,
We built the cities, we dug the ditches,
we picked the fruit from the vine.

Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?

Skip forward four generations, comes a great first world nation
But I'm living in the third.
Trying to make a living, playing on my SG Gibson,
Tending bar and sometimes selling herb.

We live like serfs, in this new feudal land
we pay the bills and fight the wars.
I ain't no wobbly, no pinko Commie,
let's start the end times right now!

Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
