"It's Different For Girls"

"It's Different For Girls"


It's different for girls
They've got sensitive language
They've built miles of defenses
They're not numb by impression
It's different for girls
From when they are children
They're depersonalized
Aggressively objectified
They want to make a scene
They want to be adored
And then they want to be left alone
When they get bored
With that, it's different for girls
They are mercurial creatures
Not a masculine dissonance
Or sexual currency
Though some of them are demons, all of them are gods
Though some demons are women
For every one psycho bitch, there's 10,000 aggro pricks
It's different for girls
It's different for girls
They don't spit on the street
They don't piss on the seat
They don't have to size up
Every person they meet
Or create an elite
Or poison the game
So no one else can compete
They are chaos and mystery
And they like to combine them
Sometimes they act crazy
But that doesn't define them
It's different for girls
They're not expected to fight
They're expected to sit
And take some lesser man's shit
Though it don't feel right
No, it don't feel right
Though some women are demons, all of them are gods
Though some demons are women
For every one psycho chick, there's 10,000 hateful pricks
It's different
It's different
It's different
Yeah, it's different for girls
It's different for girls

"It's Easy To Sleep When You're Dead"

"It's Easy To Sleep When You're Dead"


It's easy to sleep when you're dead but you're unable to touch your loved ones, give them kisses or see them smile at you
It's easy to sleep when you're dead but you give up your whole life's work
and you can't revers the bad things that you did
While alive you still have hope that when you die you are dead
and you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better
I hope it's better
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
Though you can't feel the warmth of summer, smell the flowers of spring, or drink cider in the fall
It's easy to sleep when you're dead though it's too late to say the words you wanted them to hear when you didn't have the nerve.
You get to spend eternity thinking about your life.
Think of all the time that is. Eternity is forever, is forever, is forever. What will I do forever?
At this time there is nothing you can change. You can only sit and watch and hope they understand
It's easy to sleep when you're dead. Cause there isn't anything else to do but sleep. I feel sorry for the dead.

"It's Just So"

"It's Just So"


I don't wonder why I love you I don't have to know. It's just so. I adore you from your head down to your baby toe. It's just so. Sometimes I get scared and hesitate because it seems strange to be so intimate. It makes me uncomfortable but I'll get used to it. I don't want to hide it now I need to let it show. It's just so. When you hold me close I feel a warm and happy glow. It's just so. Sometimes I'm unsure if you're the one or my best friend who I'm clinging to. My feelings change so quickly so I'll trust you to lead me

"Jacques Lamure"

"Jacques Lamure"


Jacques Lamure is a
volunteer fireman
He longs to give his life
Saving a nice old man and his wife
When their house is
filled with flames
Earning him honor and fame
Jacques Lamure is a foreman
at a clock factory
He wishes he were boss
So he could fire that scoundrel William Moss
Who always puts him down
When Megan Blanchard is around
He told himself last year
that when springtime was here
He would suddenly appear at Meg's door
He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand
His dear Meg to take his hand
And to be his forever more
But of course he didn't dare
and pretended not to care
About the insult or the loss
When he found out she'd married William Moss
Jacques Lamure goes to see a show
every other Friday night
He likes the westerns best
He'd rather be a sheriff with a gold star on his chest
Than that weird guy who never says a word
And when spoken to pretends he hadn't heard
He realized one day that he didn't have to stay
That he could move as far away as planes could fly
He chuckled as he mused
About the people who had rused him
And how shocked and confused that they would be
When he says goodbye and never turns around
Never returns to that miserable town
Then as weeks passed he soon did find
This move had greatly improved his state of mind

"Jan Doesn't Like It"

"Jan Doesn't Like It"


Jan doesn't like it when they enter the apartment through his head

Come play with my erection
Can't you see that it's standing at attention?
I'm amenable to a personal inspection
And I've come to pay respects to your thirty-two perfections

You never going to get to Janna, killing dreams like that
Thor will see that it just never happened

I met your friend at the festival
He asked me why I was so pretentious
As I was being interviewed, I was thinking, "My God!
They always pick the wrong time to try and break your heart"

Everybody seems so critical
He started shaking because he realized that we were so aligned
Like the sisters and the kids who are always making scenes out of nothing
Yes, so anyways I guess your friend's sound

It's another psycho afternoon in the cattle forges of your heart

They only shoot dead people now
They said they only shoot them after they're dead
Oh
They only shoot dead people now
They said they only shoot them after they're dead

The rat has touched the wall
The rat has touched the wall
The rat has touched the wall
The rat has touched the wall
The rat has touched the wall
The rat has touched the wall
The rat has touched the wall
The rat has touched the wall
The rat has touched the wall

"Jennifer Louise"

"Jennifer Louise"


Jennifer Louise you don't know me but we're cousins
your mamamama and my mamamama are sisters
Jennifer Louise I haven't seen you since I was a kid
when my family spent the weekend at your house
and your father helped when my eyelashes stuck together
My mom told me that now
you're a young professional
living with a significant someone
Jennifer Louise we know so little about each other
I'll probably never call you up,
write you a letter or see you in person
Basically Jennifer Louise you don't know me
and we're not friends
But I was just wondering about you
wondering if you ever think about me

"Joseph And Alexander"

"Joseph And Alexander"


Joseph and Alexander ride their flaming swans
above Miss Dovepost and her loudmouth niece
who had a fear of geese and who even in a corset
looked remarkably obese

Joseph and Alexander redirect their swanis left
to take a gander at the funnel nosed threes
in the Pekinese trees
who are normally a nervous sort
but now seem quite at ease

Joseph and Alexander are brothers and best friends
the wonderful adventures that they share together never end
Be sure to send a smile for me and Dave
to wherever they're pretending to be
I hope they keep a journal
and take lots of photographs
of all the funny things they see

Joseph and Alexander
approach the nest of the speckled salamander
who with utmost care is knitting thermal underwear
She smiles and hollers up
"These are for my grandchildren to wear"

Joseph and Alexander feeling tuckered
now decide to meander back into their beds
and kiss their swanis on the head
but before going to sleepy land
Joseph turned and said
"Aggats, I love you"
Alexander yawned and said
"Joseph me too I love you"

"Julie The Mouse"

"Julie The Mouse"


Nothing can save me from the pain
of you not loving me
It doesn't help me to complain
I just have to feel it
and hope it goes away

But it's so useless and it hurts just like it did before I'm afraid that I'll close up inside

and no longer feel anything anymore

It's such a strange need to be deprived of
To just want love and feel happy

"Just Recently Lost Something Of Importance"

"Just Recently Lost Something Of Importance"


Look who's talking to their shadow like one who hasn't got a friend
Like somebody with a broken heart that is never gonna mend

Look who's walking through the night in the rain like one who's under a spell
Like somebody with a lot on their mind, but no one to tell

Everyone you see seems so happy and carefree
They've found someone to love, but you are alone

Look who's flipping through the photographs of those happier days
Only losing something beautiful could make a person feel this way

Everyone you see seems so happy and carefree
They've found someone to love, but you are alone

Look who's talking to their shadow like one who hasn't got a friend
Like somebody with a broken heart that is never gonna mend...

"Katie And Caroline"

"Katie And Caroline"


Princesses Princesses
Princesses Princesses Princesses
Katie and Caroline are
Throwing a tea party from 8 to 9
Everyone is happy and feeling fine
Grammy and Pa will be there
Of course Nanna will be there too
Katie and Caroline are a mix
Of smiling flowers and sunshine
And are as clever as three foot miniature Einsteins
Uncles Nina and Gonzo love them
Of course Uncle Mouse does too

And one day you'll have real horsees to ride
And you'll never ever want to leave each other's side

Katie and Caroline never act
Real grouchy like a porcupine
They're the sweetest creatures yes a flawless design
You've made your mommies oh so happy
And your daddies oh so too
