Pretty Good Year
Tears on the sleeve of a man
don’t wanna be a boy today
heard the eternal footman
bought himself a bike to race
and Greg he writes letters and burns his CD’s
they say you r were something
in those formative years
hold onto nothing
as fast as you can
well, still a pretty good year
Maybe a bright sandy beach
is going to bring you back
maybe not so now you’re off to see America
well let me tell you something about America
pretty good year
some things are melting now
some things are melting now
well what’s it going to take
till my baby’s alright
and Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen
sometimes he’s aware that they’re drawing him in
Lucy was pretty, your best friend agreed
well still pretty good year
Past the Mission
I don’t believe I went too far
I said I was willing
she said she knew what my books did not
I thought she knew what’s up
(chorus)Past the mission
behind the prison tower
past the mission
I once knew a hot girl
past the mission
they’re closing every hour
past the mission
I smell the roses
She said they all think they know him
well she knew him better
everyone wanted something from him
I did too but I shut my mouth
he just gave me a smile
(chorus)
Hey they found a body
not too sure it was his
but they’re using his name
and she gave him shelter
and somewhere I know she knows
something only she knows
(chorus)
Cornflake Girl
Never was a cornflake girl
thought that was a good solution
hanging with the raisin girls
she’s gone to the other side
givin us a heave ho
things are getting kind of gross
and I go at sleepy time
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is…
Peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword
She knows what’s going on
seems we got a cheaper feel
now all the sweeteaze are gone
gone to the other side
with my encyclopedia
they musta paid her a nice price
she’s putting on her sitting bean love
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is
Peel out the watchword
just peel out the watchword
Rabbit where’d you put the keys girl
and the man with the golden gun
thinks he knows so much
thinks he knows so much
Rabbit where’d you put the keys girl
