In Love With Yourself
He came over my house
Didn't even knock, he just walked inside
And when I didn't want to talk
He said, "Oh God, what a load of bullshit."
Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be so in love with yourself cause I'm not
Don't you know I'm not
And I said, "You've got a lot of nerve coming here after all the times
that you tried to pull the wool over my eyes and my ears and nose
and mouth and..."
Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be so in love with yourself cause I'm not
Don't you know I'm not
And he said, "You've got a lot of nerve painting me like I'm the villain.
What about all of those words, like 'he's just a friend'?
Oh God, what a load of bullshit..."
Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be so in love with yourself cause I'm not
Don't you know I'm not
And we took off all out clothes
Had a lot of sex and then fell asleep
And when I finally awoke
I held him close and I whispered in his ear,
"Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be so in love with yourself cause I'm not
Don't you know I'm not?"
And he said, "I know, don't you think I know?"
Hello Sailor
Hello, sailor, buy you a drink?
Hello, sailor, tell me what do you think?
How was the big beach, how was the sand?
Did you fly an aeroplane?
Did you get a tan?
How does it feel to be back on American soil, hearing no blood for oil?
Hello, sailor, tell me what do you think?
Hello, sailor, will we get him next week?
How does it feel to be hated and loved back home?
You should have known
That I'm a little despot, short and stout
Here is my handgun, here is my crowd control
When you tick me off then the bullets fly out
Because free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Hello, sailor
Hello, sailor, buy you a smoke?
Hello, sailor, can I tell you a joke?
Knock knock, who's there?

Hello, sailor, tell me how does it feel
Hello, sailor, to be fighting for real?
Sailor, they got you coming and going
Sailor, look out cause your pussy is showing
How does it feel to be back on American soil. hearing no blood for oil?
I'm a little prostitute, I put out and sell
Here come the market monkeys with their little fontainelles
When they tip me over, they better tip me well
Because free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Hello, sailor, buy you a fuck?
Hello, sailor, you had much more than luck
You had the US of army on your side
And that red, white and pride
Hello, sailor, I mean women and men
Hello, sailor, you gonna be up for it again?
How does it feel to make shooting stars in the sky?
Was it a rush to almost die?
Hello, sailor
I said hello, sailor
How does it feel to be back on American soil, hearing no blood for oil?
I'm a little liberal, I'm stupid in doubt
Here is my platform, here is my holy-roller
When you snow me under, I rock 'n' roll you out
Because free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Wild Thang
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it spend it, wild thing
There's hardly a man left around that you haven't sought out
There's hardly a dress shop in town you haven't bought out
In case you're wondering why the hair salon wouldn't take you
There's hardly a woman left in any state that doesn't hate you
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it spend it, wild thing
It's truly awesome
When she was younger she thought her mother had missed her calling
And she, in turn, thought that her daughter's conduct was appalling
After each date she had the boys, went home and dreamed of spiders
She never fell for any man who wasn't rich as Midas
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it spend it, wild thing
It's truly awesome
If there's a lesson to be learned then I'm sure I don't know it
We've all been waiting twenty years to finally see her blow it
But as far as I can tell she's happy, rich, and worry free and
That's a hell of a lot more than I can say for me and
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it spend it wild thing
Wild thing
You made your heart sing
You bought everything you wanted
Spend it spend it, wild thing
It was truly awesome
That's my girl!
Go baby!
Fuck and Run
I woke up alarmed
I didn't know where I was at first
Just that I woke up in your arms
And almost immediately I felt sorry
Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions
And whatever happened to a boyfriend?
The kind of guy who tries to win you over
And whatever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who makes love cause he's in it
And I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend
I was all that boring old shit like letters and sodas
Like letters
You got up out of bed
You said you had a lot of work to do
But I heard arrest in your head
And almost immediately I felt sorry
Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this could happen again
With or without my best intentions
And I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend
I want all that stupid old shit like
Letters and sodas
I can feel it in my bones
I 'm gonna spend another year alone it's
Fuck and run
Fuck and run
Even when I was 17
Fuck and run
Fuck and run
Even when I was 12
And I can feel it in my bones
I'm gonna spend my whole life alone
Fuck and run
Fuck and run
Even when I was 17
Fuck and run
Fuck and run
Even when I was 12
You almost felt bad
You said that I should call you up but
I knew much better than that
And almost immediately you felt sorry cause
You didn't think this would happen again
No matter what you could do or say
Just that you didn't think this could happen again
Without or without your best intentions
And whatever happened to a girlfriend
The kind of chick who tries to win you over
And whatever happened to a girlfriend
The kind of chick who makes love cause she's in it and
You want a girlfriend
You want a girlfriend
You want all that boring old shit
Like letters and sodas
Letters and sodas
Letters and sodas
Letters and sodas
Can't Get Out Of What I'm Into
But I can't get out of what I'm into
And the jokes they tell are meant to wish me well
But I can't get out of what I'm into
Cause it's a steady job
And it's the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to laugh about
Cause my real life ain't fucking funny
Cause my real life ain't fucking funny
The looks they give starting to make me sick
But I can't get out of what I'm into
And the lines they try might as well be from a guy
But I can't get out of what I'm into
Cause it's a steady job
And it's the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to cry about
Cause my real life ain't fucking funny
Cause my real life ain't fucking funny
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
The things I have to do would make a slut blush blue
But I can't get out of what I'm into
I figure two more years then I'll go back to queers
But I can't get out of what I'm into
Cause it's a steady job
And it's the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to laugh about
Cause my real life ain't fucking funny
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord
Ooooh Lord
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Fire Up The Batmobile
Fire up the batmobile cause I gotta get outta here
I don't speak the language
And you gave me no real choice
You gave me no real choice
You made me see that my behavior was an opinion
So fire up the batmobile cause I gotta get outta here
It's the mouth of the gift horse, I know
But I gave it my best shot
I gave it my best shot
I gave you the performance of a lifetime
So I hope you all will see
There just isn't a place here for me
I look around and feel like somebody must be fucking with me
I just can't take any of you seriously
And I can't keep keeping myself company
Fire up the batmobile cause I gotta get outta here
Big shoulders block the view
You can't get your money back
You can't get your money back
You can't pretend that "isolation" is the same as "privilege"
So I hope you all will see
There just isn't a place here for me
I look around and feel like somebody must be fucking with me
I just can't take any of you seriously
And I can't keep keeping myself company
Sometimes a Dream Is What Makes You A Slave
I can't remember the last time that I felt good for more than a week
I mean really good for more than a month
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna cry
Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky
And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
And you just can't get your ass out of town
And you can't back up cause you're against the wall
And it's the same goddamn thing I told you
Baby it's alright
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
Baby it's alright
And I think that's what's happened to me
Cause I'm walking almost everyday blind
And I'm searching through my past
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna cry
Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky
And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
And you just can't get your ass out of town
And you can't back up cause you're against the wall
And it's the same goddamn thing I told you
Baby it's alright
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
Baby it's alright
Look around
Do you see anyone for themselves, like you see yourself?
So why do you still feel so all alone?
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
How many pieces do you wish?
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
How many pieces do you wish?
My mother told me to pick the very best one
And you're it
It's Not That Easy
I think you're trying to scare me
So that I will stop thinking about you
I think you're trying to scare me
So that I will stop trying to be you
It's not that easy
It's not that easy
I laughed when I heard you died
Cause I didn't know what else I was gonna do
Now I laugh when I see you alive
Cause I think you're just pulling my leg
It's not that easy
It's not that easy
Well it must have taken a whole lot of anger
And it must have taken a whole lot of time
And I can't believe that you found me after all these years
I guess you must have something heavy on your mind
And I can't believe that you thought I'd be happy
To see you up and around like it's any warning
You look like shit, and the smell is even better
And I feel like shit, and I want to go back to bed
You can walk through walls
You can make the head of a doll spin around
And you can haunt the halls
But you can't ask me to make you feel at home
It's not that easy
It's not that easy
Chopsticks
I met him at a party and he told me how to drive him home
He said he liked to do it backwards
And I said that's just fine with me
That way we can fuck and watch tv
It was 4 am and the light was gray
Like it always is in paperbacks
He asked if I like playing jacks
I told him I was good till sixes
But all hell broke loose after that
I told him that I knew Julia Roberts when I was 12 at summer camp
We didn't say anything after that
I dropped him off and I drove on home
Cause secretly, I'm timid
Do You Love Me?
The last time we made love you said my name just to make me come
But it was just a speaking offer
It mean nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
I can wake up any day
See a million things that I could say
But then you're just an easy target
It means nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
Means nothing
And nothing means nothing
Each time the world turns 'round
It doesn't make a fucking sound
It doesn't mean that we don't feel it
It means nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
Means nothing
And nothing means nothing
So if you want to know if I love you so
If you want to know if I love you so
If you want to know if I love you so
It's in my kiss- that's where it is
It's in my kiss- that's where it is
Do you love me cause I am in the mood?
Do you love me for a funky groove?
Do you love me cause I can mash potato?
Do you love me cause I'm an alligator?
Singing oooh, whoa, whoa...
Do you love me cause I can walk on water?
Do you love me cause I'm the President's daughter?
Do you love me cause I am queen of England?
Do you love me just cause I'm sitting here singing?
Oooh, whoa, whoa...
So if you want to know if I love you so
If you want to know if I love you so
If you want to know if I love you so
It's in my kiss- that's where it is
It's in my kiss- that's where it is
So the next time we make love
Drop the words, just do the stuff
Speak softly and use that big stick
It means nothing without your love
Means nothing without your love
Means nothing
And nothing means nothing to me
Soap Star Joe
He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in on the back of a pickup
And he won't leave town till you remember his name
He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for some lonely billboard to grace
They say he sprung from the skull of Athena
Think about your own head and the headache he gave
He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for action in a price he can pay
They say he's famous, but no one can prove it
Make him an offer just to see what he'll say
Check out the dashboard lights
Glowing all green and white
He feels safe in the dark
He wears his bluejeans tight
Check out the thinning hair
Check out the aftershave
Check out America
You're looking at it, babe
He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in on the back of a pickup
And he won't leave town till you remember his name
Make him an offer just to see what he'll say
I Know It's Not Easy
Call me when you think the coast is clear
I've been hiding out almost a year
Is there something wrong?
What's taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it's not easy
You said if I waited it'd pay off
But my eyes are growing wild and my body's gone soft
Is there something wrong?
What's taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it's not easy
You said I should let go of your hand
But I don't even know if I can
You're the only one
You are the very sun to me
And you know it's not easy
You'd tell me, wouldn't you, if we needed to talk?
And you'd tell me, wouldn't you, if I had pissed you off?
Is there something wrong?
What's taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it's not easy
Well I look at the stars and I know you're under them
I look at the cars and I know you insure them
I look at the books and things people are reading
I know that you've written them, too
But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten the
promise you made to me
I think that's rotten
I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore
Coming through that can show me around
Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd
Looking for something from you
Just one fucking measly clue
Any shitty little tip-off would do
But I'm just an ant in Alaska to you
Well I look at the stars and I know you're under them
I look at the cars and I know you insure them
I look at the books and the things people are reading
I know that you've written them, too
But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten the
promise you made to me
I think that's rotten
I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore
Coming through that can show me around
Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd
Looking for something from you
Just one fucking measly clue
Any shitty little tip-off would do
But I'm just and ant in Alaska to you
I'm just an ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska to you
Miss Lucy
Miss Lucy had a steamboat
Miss Lucy had a steamboat
Miss Lucy had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Miss Lucy went to heaven
And her steamboat went to hell?
Can't know my number
And don't disconnect me
I'll cut off the cord
My refrigerator, there was a piece of glass
Miss Lucy fell upon it
And she cut off the last piece of ?
The boys in the parlor
I'm in the meadows
The birds in their pockets
And the boys and the girls, they are fucking
And the girls and the girls, they are fucking
And the girls and the boys, they are fucking
Dead Shark
Don't be so rude
I was only trying to make conversation
Hey don't go down, this is not going anywhere
Got a dead shark on our hands
Got a dead shark on our hands
Got a dead shark on our hands
I'm just trying to get a handle on this
I'm just trying to be rubber stamped
I'm just trying
So sue me for trying
Do I just have problems, or did you also think that this was hot?
I really hate talking on the telephone
Can't we just work it out
That you come on over here
Can't we just work it out
That you stay here tonight
I'm not looking over my shoulder
I'm not gazing up at the stars
I'm not thinking about painting a picture
I'm just wondering where you'll sleep tonight
Do I just have problems, or did you also think that this was hot?
I'm not looking over my shoulder
I'm not gazing up at the stars
I'm not thinking about painting your picture
I'm just wondering where you'll spend the night
One Less Thing
I took my dog to the vet today
He gave her a shot and put her away
And when I got home and got ready for be I realized what I'd done
And that's one less thing on my mind
I left the man I'm in love with behind
I moved to Chicago and told him I'd write
But now when I wake and I see the wrong face I realize what I've done
And that's one less thing on my mind
Did you think that I knew what I was doing when I said that I had
to grow up on my own for a while?
Now I'm dog-less and love-less and cold in a midwestern winter
If I'd known what I was doing I sure as fuck wouldn't be here
Now I like to think that I like to learn from mistakes
But I've made that error in judgment one too many times
And I'm not the wiser and sure not the wealthier
I wish to God that I had've been healthier mentally
When I decided to make up my own mind
But that's one less thing takes up my time
I'm lining up six or seven good jobs
My hair's looking great and my friends are all snobs
But I don't have my man and I don't have my dog
And I don't have very much fun
And that's one less thing on my mind
Money
Elvis's car is probably 30 years old
He looks like a Saab in '45
Cliff says he's got a headache
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Take them people back inside
Just can't thin of something else to take over
But you just stand it up and warning
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Why fly when you can walk?
Why sing when you can talk?
Why hit the wall when you've just punched the clock?
Oh why sing when you can talk?
Jeremy's talking about the bombs
He thinks it's probably a bad place to be
It's gonna be worse than Manhattan
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Take the train on up to the zoo
Don't look back on what you've been through
Cause everyone's got a Monday
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Looks like shit and it feels like America
It's nice to be liked, but it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have don't really see it
that way
But if you could give 'em each one wish
They'd wish success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money
That would surely include lots of money
So if there are any on you little green elves sitting out there
today
Step right up, wish me old Irish luck
But I also need shitloads of money
And if there are any of you dirty rich old men sitting out there
today
Step right up, I'm your lucky fuck
But I'm gonna need shitloads of money
I'm gonna need shitloads of money
I got to have shitloads of money
