"Poughkeepsie"

"Poughkeepsie"


Goes on in Spanish Harlem
Goes on in Poughkeepsie
People slip away
Hit me in the arm
Just please do it swiftly
We ain't got all day, yeah
One more coat of arms
Every business weekly
What's Amanda say?
It's not that I'm so strong
I never knew what hit me
Since you came to stay, yeah
Speard and flayed
Burnt and bleeding, I'll catch up some day
'Til tomorrow's bruises go away
And the grass is turning into hay
I'll be glad to be your extra blade
Goes on in Spanish Harlem
Goes on in Poughkeepsie
Lost my grip today
Here to stay
Least until it's time to go away
Walking masterpiece of remembered pain
This teeming life has got you in it's way
And I'm proud to be your lump of clay

"Rabbit"

"Rabbit"


Well Ive been called a dope before
Say Im not sexy anymore for you
Say I am an animal
Say I'm not a man at all, it's True!

CHORUS
I am a rabbit
Ive got to have it
Its a force of habit
I'd like to share my carrot.........with you

Say I've got a one track mind
But I just want to have a grind with you...
I don't wanna marry you I just want to get through to you.....

CHORUS

BRIDGE----
I must of been a bliss too
Say Im not concerned
But I don't wanna go with you
To the point of no return
Thats because I'm a rabbit..

SOLO
If you are a real die-hard you can always try the "Sweet Child O' Mine" Solo on it. Actually you should do this on all Hate Your Friends Songs.

CHORUS



"I Am A Rabbit" - Proud Scum
----------------------------------
copyright 1979 Alistair Rabbit

--Verse 1--
You say you've seen my kind before
That I'm not sexy any more
Nor are you!
You say I am an animal
That I'm not like a man at all
Well it's true!

--Chorus--
I am a rabbit
I've got to have it
It's force of habit
I'd like to share my carrot
With you

--Verse 2--
You say I've got a one track mind
That I just want to have a grind
With you
Well I don't to marry you
I just want to get through
You

--Chorus x 1--

--Bridge--
You're just a bit of lettuce as far as I'm concerned
I don't want to go with you to the point of no return
That's because I am a rabbit
(solo)

--Chorus x 1--
(last 2 lines change to "I'd like to stick my carrot/Into you!"

"Rat Velvet"

"Rat Velvet"


See iot over there and in between my teeth
Rat velvet
It's everything I look
And everywhere I feel
Tooth crack under foot and death's head
Rustles near
Coup deville in sign
Cushioned razor smear
Rat velvet
Love my mom and pop
They gave me the rope
Buttocks scream coagulating
Never give up hope
Love my dog and cat
Shards of summer's blood
Tooth defying death relying
Harold's under mud
Hate my mothers smirk
Hemaroidal hinge
Laminated glory faded
Mamas on a binge
Chew my daddys
Underneath the porch
Slicey dicey oncee-twicee
Grandma baby
Pass the torch

"Rest Assured"

"Rest Assured"


One of the reasons
I came all this way
Two opposite seasons
I had to hear you say
You were gonna hang around a while
I notice my postcard in a pile
One, two, three, four
Pepper, salt, sugar and tarragon
We're hanging by the pool
Mortar bricks and aluminum
Step one, figure two
I know it's probably not my place
Watch the water drain different way
One, two, one, two, three
If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
If I could you know I'd try to
Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out
It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without
It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without
Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out
If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Ask the other half if I might
Rest assured

"Rick James Style"

"Rick James Style"


Don't wanna get stoned
Don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Don't wanna get high
I don't wanna get high
But I don't wanna not get high
And I don't wanna not get stoned

Wanna knock things down
I'm not gonna knock things down
But I don't wanna not get stoned
So I'm not gonna not knock things down

Don't wanna think twice
I don't have to think twice
But I'm not gonna get high
I I'm not gonna get stoned

Style

Not gonna come round
I don't wanna come down
I just want a killer line
And I'll figure it out myself

Don't wanna get stoned
I don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Style

"Ride With Me"

"Ride With Me"


That pencil smell, reminds me of school
The clock on the wall, I can no longer fool

Time to get in my car
Been so dull, tired and tight
Time to trust these old tires
Time to not say goodnight

Jesus rides with me
His will is plain to feel
Come on, you can be
Got yourself to steal

He’s everywhere, sends me straight across the plain
He’s in your hair, he’ll forgive me my pain

You’re my girl don’t you show it
To know you know is to know it
When you can’t trust yourself
Baby, trust someone else

Jesus rides with me
His will is plain to feel
Come on, you can be
Got yourself to steal

You’re my girl don’t you show it
To know you know is to know it
When you can’t trust yourself
Baby, trust someone else

Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me

"Rockin' Stroll"

"Rockin' Stroll"


She takes me on a rocking stroll,
If you won't wave guess I won't know.
As by I roll I hope you'll throw a smile at me.
'cause this here pram is all I've known.
I won't be walking till I've grown.
All I've been shown is everything I want to see.

People's knees and trunks of trees smile at me.

Looking upward to the sky, moving forward all the time.
The sidewalk lines, gadunk-gadunk-gadunk-gdai.
If it's warm in here is it cold down there?
Around out where I can only stare.
I'm still aware of little but I'm gonna try.

I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try. Oh!

She takes me on a rocking stroll,
If you won't wave guess I won't know.
As by I roll I hope you'll throw a smile at me.
'cause this here pram is all I've known.
I won't be walking till I've grown.
All I've been shown is everything I want to see.

People's knees and trunks of trees smile at me.

"Rudderless"

"Rudderless"


Waiting for something to break
Left my heart out to bake
Nothing there in my glass
Wasn’t air made to last

Hopin’ my past
Hopin’ my past
Hopin’ my past
Hopin’ my past

All the way down to the lake (Found the lake was wet)
How much more could I take (better yet)
Walked back home to my place (tired of getting high)
Guess I don’t wanna die

Hopin’ my past
Hopin’ my past
Hopin’ my past
Hopin’ my past

Waiting for something to break
Left my heart out to bake
Slipped my mind that I could use my brain
I’ll stay up all night, and crash on the plane

Ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a
ship without a rudder

"Rule Of Three"

"Rule Of Three"


The way it's supposed to go
As if you didn't know
Exactly how to feel
When it looks just like a dolphin show
The way that most folks know
This is how your life will go
I never wonder why
And I always get a decent lie
The way it's supposed to feel
When you're finding out it's real
Turning on a dime
We'll prepared and right in time, right in time
The way it's supposed to be
When you're climbing up a tree
What is that you see?
And don't forget the rule of three, rule of three
Rule of three, rule of three, rule of three, rule of three
Rule of three, rule of three. rule of three. rule of three

"Sad Girl"

"Sad Girl"


Misdirected girls in town
Just a-layin' down by a pool
Check the scene check all 'round
Be sure an' act a fool

You don't even know your name
You should bow your head in shame
But you say that it's all right
You go out night after night

You're sad girl
Ain't it a shame?
You're sad girl
Aren't you a pain?

Been around for quite some time
There's other's been around longer still
Dye your hair get, fucked up, pass out
You got no reason to be on the pill

Sad girl, sad girl
Sad girl, sad girl
