"I'm Your Brave Little Soldier"

"I'm Your Brave Little Soldier"


Things were good for a, couple of minutes
But now it’s one hard faith
The super marking card makes you home
I push it by myself

[Chorus:]
I’m your brave little soldier
And everything will be alright
I’m your brave little soldier
Coming home to you tonight
Gonna be alright

Stand in line at the playboy rigor
Ski mask yawning at my face
Laying on the floor, thinking how I
Forgot to pray last night

[Chorus:]
I’m your brave little soldier
And everything will be alright
I’m your brave little soldier
Coming home to you tonight
Gonna be alright

It’s money in the cup, big love’s a gift
I won’t forget you

[Chorus:]
I’m your brave little soldier
And everything will be alright
I’m your brave little soldier
Coming home to you tonight
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright, alright.

"I've Been Kicked Around"

"I've Been Kicked Around"



Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright

I once had a heart
I was ripped from it
Chewed up then spat out
Like a cherry pit

And if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around

Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright

I once had a soul
It was torn from me
I won't cry a tear
I will carry me

And if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around

Don't worry
I'm alright

"If You See Natalie"

"If You See Natalie"



If you see natalie
Send along this message
I know that you've been through
An awful lot of late

Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you

Friends and fortunetellers
They all say you're gonna die
If you don't brighten up
You know you gotta try

Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you

If you see natalie
Send along this message
You may not need this world
But this world needs you here

Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you

You might not feel it now
But you're gonna get there
And see it somehow
Youre gonna be alright, girl

"In My Dreams"

"In My Dreams"



My love is always just as she seems
A force of nature all her own
To be reckoned with
Whatever's wrong with me
Her kiss redeems
And it's all there
In my dreams

My love is soaring
She glides through the sky
Hardly a warning
She takes my hand
Says "Open your eyes"
We look down on the earth
And all its schemes
We laugh
And it's all there
In my dreams

We swoop down below the clouds
Destination unknown
And then she says
"Let's go home"

My love is resting under a tree
She whispers softly in my ear
As she lay next to me
"That was the funnest day"
Her sad eyes beam
And it's all there
In my dreams

"In My Younger Days"

"In My Younger Days"



In my younger days
This wouldn't have been so hard
I would've just shrugged it off
But now it's tough
I'm not so rough
I've got a little ways to go
It's not over yet, I know
But it feels
Not so far away

In my younger days
This still would've knocked me down
But I would've just bounced right back, you know
Now I'm a statistic
But I'm not fatalistic
I'm not yet resigned to fate
And I'm not gonna be ruled by hate
But it's strong
And it's filling up my days

In my younger days
I would've just chalked it up
As part of my ongoing education
But I've had enough
Been through some stuff
And I don't need any more misery
To teach me what I should be
I just need you back

"In The Yard, Behind The Church"

"In The Yard, Behind The Church"


In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds search for
A safe place to rest the night away
We will go down to the brook and
Sit upon the overlook then
Forget about the troubles of the day

We will walk among the graves of
Men long dead with presidents' names and
Listen to the water flow softly by
I will kiss you on the lips now
And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down
And let the water wash away all lies

In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds perch on
Gray stones as the garden's growing dim
We will lay down on the ground and
Put our cheeks against the dirt down
Where it no longer matters
Where you've been

"It's A Motherfucker"

"It's A Motherfucker"



It's a motherfucker
Being here without you
Thinking 'bout the good times
Thinking 'bout the bad
And i won't ever be the same

It's a motherfucker
Getting through a sunday
Talking to the walls
Just me again
But i won't ever be the same
I won't ever be the same

It's a motherfucker
How much i understand
The feeling that you need someone
To take you by the hand
And you won't ever be the same
You won't ever be the same

"Jeannie's Diary"

"Jeannie's Diary"



How does her world spin
Without me in her nest?
Could there really be such happiness?

Oh, she's got a dark side too
Even murderous
But i love that
Just like her

I don't have a chance at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In jeannie's diary
One single page
In jeannie's diary

Yes i am intense
Maybe quite obsessed
Everything she does is curious

Oh, she's going to let me in
I just know it's so
Then again, who do i kid?

I don't have a chance at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In jeannie's diary
One single page
In jeannie's diary

She could have anything she wants
So why not me?
She could have anything she dreams
Oh, to be one single page
One single page
In jeannie's diary

"Jehovah's Witness"

"Jehovah's Witness"



Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home
Keep on a-knockin' and ringin' the bells
Knockin' your way straight to hell

Jehovah's witness let's not pretend
That for one second you are my friend
Knock on my door and i'll turn out the light
Close the curtains and turn in for the night

Jehovah's witness why must it be
Just when i'm feeling good i look out and see
You walking up in your very nice suit
Like i'm some old lady who'll give up her loot

Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home

"Jungle Telegraph"

"Jungle Telegraph"



Mama had an epideral
Hoping i would be a girl
The night was black
The sky was booming
Darker clouds were surely looming
I heard screaming
Doctor shouts
And baby then i came out

And here i am

Found my way down the street
Chicken hawk's favorite meat
The man was big
The gun was loaded
He had cash but never showed it
I heard screaming
Bleeding throat
And baby i got on the boat

And here i am

Now i'm up here in the trees
Shakin' off the bugs and fleas
The days are long
The sun is beating
Each day i don't die is cheating
Send me some lovin'
Send me some lovin'
Send it now

Send it by giraffe
Or jungle telegraph
