"Party"

"Party"

Now that the party's over
Now that the noise is through
Now that the room is empty
There's only me and you
I think that I might just fall in love with you

There were so many people trying to talk to you
Telling you how they need you
Trying to get to you
I think that I might just fall in love with you

Thoughts ring through my head
All the things that you said
Didn't seem to matter early on
But now that the people have gone
I think that I might just fall in love with you

Now that you know how I feel
Everything's up to you
Now that the party's over
Tell me what I should do
I think that I might just fall in love with you

"Penny Music"

"Penny Music"

Throw a penny from the window
Watch an old man play a song
on a twenty dollar violin he bought before the war
Though he screeches and he scratches
and the notes are always wrong
but he plays like he's in concert
on the street outside my door

Choose to suit your fancy
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
(play them for a penny)
and not a penny less

He's the local vertuoso
It's his only way of life
plays 97 overtures
and goes on home to his wife
In the quiet of the evening
while his frozen fingers bleed
he counts pennies
on the blanket to supply his meeger(sp?) needs

Choose to suit your fancy
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
(play them for a penny)
and not a penny less

When there's frost upon the pumpkin
in the weakness of the sun
People stand there in the cold
until his symphony is done
In the early gray of morning
he's sure to come around
You can hear him thru the window
when the pennies hit the ground

Choose to suit your fancy
Are there any requests?
I'll play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
(play them for a penny)
and not a penny less

They're playing penny music
(aaahhhhaaahhhh)
Playing penny music
(aaahhhhaaahhhh)

[Last two lines repeat a few more times]

"Pillow Time"

"Pillow Time"

There's a wonderland for Alice
There's a tall beanstalk for Jack
The sleepy train will take you there
So safely down the track
With the sandman at the throttle
You'll be off to dreams and back
It's pillow time again

You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down Mother Goose Lane
Romp with Jack and Jill
Up and down the hill
And try to put Humpty together again

Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop
The candy whistle's blowin'
Don't you miss your station stop
So good night my wee way fairer
Pleasant dreams to you, oh tot
It's pillow time again

You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down Mother Goose Lane
Romp with Jack and Jill, up and down the hill
And try to put Humpty together again

Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop
The candy whistle's blowin'
Don't you miss your station stop
So good night my wee way fairer
Pleasant dreams to you, oh tot
It's pillow time again

It's pillow time agian...

"Pleasant Valley Sunday"

"Pleasant Valley Sunday"

The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Seranade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green he's so serene, He's got a t.v. in every room

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
I need a change of scenery

Ta Ta Ta...

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday...

"Poll"

"Poll"

"that song was pretty white"

"and i'll tell you something else, too, the same thing goes for christmas"
(gasp)

"he's crazy"

"boys, don't never, but never, make fun of no cripples"

"somebody'll come up and giggle at you
That's a violation of your civil rights"

"skunk bait
That's what the world is full of
That's what it's based on
That's what this economy is based on"

"are you telling me that you don't see the connection between
Government and laughing at people?"

"well, let me tell you one thing, son
Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor"

"Porpoise Song (Theme From "Head")"

"Porpoise Song (Theme From "Head")"

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie

But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

"Propinquity (I've Just Begun To Care)"

"Propinquity (I've Just Begun To Care)"

I've known for a long time
The kind of girl you are.
Of a smile that covers teardrops,
The way your head yields to you heart.
Of things you've kept inside
That most girls couldn't bear.
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care.

I've known of all the heartaches
I've known of all the pain.
I've seen you when the sun shines.
And I've seen you when it rains.
I've seen you make a look of love
From just an icy stare.
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care.

I know I've been blind
To not have loved you all this time.
But the image of you wasn't clear.
I guess I've been standing too near.

Oh, it's taken me a while
But I have fin'ly found
What you are to me
And that's what really counts.
And what you are to me
Is something we can share.
I've known you for a long time
But I've just begun to care.

[Instrumental]

[Repeat last verse]

"Randy Scouse Git"

"Randy Scouse Git"

She's a wonderful lady
And she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way
That she won't come and lose my mind.
It's too easy humming songs
To a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess.

The four kings of E.M.I.
Are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
And a valet at the door.
He reminds me of a penguin
With few and plastered hair,
There's talcum powder on the letter
And the birthday boy is there.

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?

Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That I shortly have to leave.

Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

[Progressive scat vocals]

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

"Regional Girl"

"Regional Girl"

She's a regional girl
Come to the big city
Give it a whirl
She thinks that she can make it
She thinks that she can take it
I think she's gonna end up makin' burgers in a basement
She's a regional girl

He's a regional guy
Come to the big city give it a try
He wants to be a mover
Yea, he wants to shake it up
I think he's gonna end up pourin' Pepsi in a cup
'Cause it's a regional lie
It's a regional lie

Mary Mary, Mississippi, Indiana Jones
Did you think that you could really make it on your own?
A singin' Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Eddie, Eddie, good and ready, now you got your chance
Try to keep the little buggers playin' with your pants
A singin' Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh

It's a regional lie
The grass is always green
And the coke is purified
You wanna hit the big time
Yea, you wanna strike it rich
I think you're gonna end up bakin' burgers for some bitch
