Growing Up (accuracy Unknown)

Growing Up (accuracy Unknown)

I stood stonelike at midnight suspended in my masquerade,
I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade,
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch,
I strode all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched,
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "sit down" I stood up,
Ooh... growin' up,

The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing-to-wing,
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn't sail but she sure could sing,
I pushed B-52 and bombed 'em with the blues with my gears set stubborn on standing,
We broke all the rules, I strafed my old high school,
And never once gave thought to landing,
I hid in the clouded warmth of the crowd but when they said "come down" I threw up ,
Ooh... growin' up,

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere,
And you know it's really hard to hold your breath,
I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress,
Well my feet they finally took root in the earth,
But I got me a nice little place in the stars,
I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car,
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said "pull down" I pulled up,
Ooh... growin up,
Ooh... growin up.

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

John Lennon was shot here, at the entrance to the Dakota building.
Lennon was shot four times with a 38 caliber gun,
In what seems to be a totally senseless killing.

[DR. EDISON AMOS]
The second amendment gives the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
This is a dispute which is going on in America now.
We should work diligently to keep this second amendment in place,
For any individual with responsibility-
Let me repeat again, responsibility and boundaries of those who are priviledged,
To be a part of all of these twenty-seven amendments,
Of the Constitution of the United States of America,
Plus the Declaration of Independence.

[GEORGE W. BUSH]
I believe that uh, people who are gonna commit crimes shouldn't have guns.

[GEORGE BUSH, SR.]
I guess my reaction is the same as every other father's, every other grandfather's.
My heart goes out to the people- to the victims.
Because I don't understand how kids can be out there, they're out making bombs,
And, and uh, and uh, families being totally unaware of it-
With this culture going on. And I'm as troubled by it as anybody else,
And I don't know any answers.

[TORI]
Happiness is a warm gun, happiness is a warm gun, Mama.
Happiness is a warm gun, oh, Mama.
Mother Superior jump the gun. Mother Superior jump the a-gun-ahuha...
Mother Superior a-jump the gun. Mother Superior jump the a-gun, the gun, gun a-da-da.
Mother Superior jump the- a-gun.
I said, Mother Superior jump the a-gun, I said, I'm gonna a-da-a.
Mother Superior jump the a-gun. Mother Superior jump the a-gun, and I said-ad.
Mother Superior jump the a-gun, I said, I'm gonna,
Mother Superior jump the a-gun, a-jump the a-gun.

She's not a girl who misses much.
(DR. EDISON AMOS: In these ten bill of rights,
Each one gives the people a special right.)
She's not a girl who misses much.
(DR. EDISON AMOS: This second one is a right to bear arms.)
Ah. She's well acquainted with the touch,
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand-a.

Ah a nd-a keep me down
I need a fix 'cause I am- I said, I need a fix 'cause I-
I need a, need, I need, I need, I need a,
I need, I need, a, I need a, Mama.

I need, and-and-and, need, an my boy.
I need, and-and-and-and, need, and-and I need.
I need, and I need, and need, and need 'cause,

Happiness is a warm gun. Happiness is a warm gun, Mama.
Happiness is a warm gun, mama
I need-a, I need a, I need a,
She's not a girl who misses much. She's not a girl who misses much.
Mother Superior ju-mp

I need a fix 'cause I am going down.
I need a fix, 'cause I am going down. I need a fix. I ha.
Mama, I-I need a fix, 'cause i'm going down.
Down to the bits that I a-left uptown.
Down to the bits that I a-left up-upto-own.
Down to the bits that I left uptown.
I said, I need a fix 'cause I am going down.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And, have yourself a merry little Christmas, now

Heart Attack At 23

Heart Attack At 23

"I don't know why I did it.
Took the keys to my brother's car.
Why should I hang around here anymore?
Hey, just put my foot on the floor. Yeah."

Sirens wake me up
Wake me up with a cry
Things we do for attention
Just a little reminder dear
I am still alive

So confused
I almost threw it all away for you
You took me higher
And you dropped me lower
Than I've ever been before

If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23

All my friends, yeah
We waste so much love on our men
Why can't I be forgiving
While he been out a-messin'
With his Argentine baby

If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23

I must be dreaming
We were together
In a land of scarlet ribbon
That tied you to me darlin'

(Roll roll roll roll on)
But you know I'm never satisfied
(Roll roll roll roll on)
With all the good things in my life
(Roll roll roll roll on)
I thought I needed you to be strong
(Roll roll roll roll on)
I'll still miss you when I'm gone

If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23

Heart Of Gold

Heart Of Gold

I want to live, I want to to give
I want to to live, I want to to give
I've been a miner, for a heart of gold
It's these expressions, I'll never give,
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to redwood
I crossed an ocean, for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching, yea, yea,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold, of gold, I said,

That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And, and I'm getting old, I said, a-I am getting old

Here In My Head

Here In My Head

In my head I found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't dare
But I find that I have, now, more
Than I ever wanted to

So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she has left
You there you are, here in my head and
Running around and calling me "come back
I'll show you the roses that brush off the snow and
Open their petals again and again" and you know that
Apple green ice cream can melt in your hands I can't so I

Held your hand at the fair and
Even forgot what time it was
And even Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and belt and the girl from the south all
Favorites of mine you know then all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles that makes it all clear makes it all
Do you know what this is doing to me
Here in my head.

Here, There And Everywhere (accuracy Unknown)

Here, There And Everywhere (accuracy Unknown)

To lead a better life I need my love to be here,
Here, making each day of the year,
Changing my life with a wave of her hand,
Nobody can deny that there's something there,

There, running my hands through her hair,
Both of us thinking how good it can be,
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there,

I want her everywhere,
And if she's beside me I know I need never care,
But to love her is to need her ,

Everywhere, knowing that love is to share,
Each one believing that love never dies,
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there,

I want her everywhere,
And if she's beside me I know I need never care,
But to love her is to need her ,

Everywhere, knowing that love is to share,
Each one believing that love never dies,
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there,

I will be there, and everywhere,
Here, there and everywhere.

Here With Me

Here With Me

It's been a long, long time since I looked into the mirror
I guess that I was blind, now my reflection's getting clearer
Now that you're gone things will never be the same again

There's not a minute that goes by, every hour of every day
You're such a part of me but I just pulled away
Well I'm not the same girl you used to know
I wish I said the words I never showed

I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
Here with me

You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart
And I wanted so badly just to be a part
Of something strong and true but I was scared and left it all behind

I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
Here with me

And I'm asking
And I'm wanting you to come back to me please

I never will forget the look upon your face
How you turned away and left without a trace
But I understand that you did what you had to do
And I thank you
(thank you, thank you)

I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel that now you're the one I need
I believe that I
Would cry just a little
Just to have you back now, here with me
Here with me
Here with me

Hey Jupiter

Hey Jupiter

No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's me and me
And this little masochist
She's ready to confess
All the things that I never thought
That she could feel and

Hey Jupiter
Nothing's been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend
To run to
And I thought you'd see with me
You wouldn't have to be something new

Sometimes I breathe you in
And I know you know
And sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
If my heart's soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess

Hey Jupiter
Nothings been the same
So are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend
To run to
And I thought I wouldn't have to keep
With you
Hiding

Thought I knew myself so well
All the dolls I had
Took my leather off the shelf
Your apocalypse was fab
For a girl who couldn't choose between
The shower or the bath

And I thought I wouldn't have to be
With you
A magazine

No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's clear he's gone
And this little masochist
Is lifting up her dress
Guess I thought I could never feel
The things I feel
Hey Jupiter

Home On The Range

Home On The Range

Oh give me a home
Where the buffalos roam
And the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day.
Chorus:
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day.

Well Jackson made deal
A thief down to his heels
Hello Trail of Tears
The Smokies may hide
A Cherokee bride
Her brave was shot yesterday
We know it's not Caroline

Your home is your home
The range may be fine
For some but not in my eyes
Home, home on the range
The smokies always hide
A cherokee bride, but in her eyes
We know it's not Caroline.

America, yes
America, hey
America
Who discovered your ass?
The white came "this land is my land
This is your land" they sang.
