What kind of love did We have?
Not the binding kind
or the finding kind
what kind of love did we have?
Oooh I love to love to touch you
oooh I loved it when you'd touch me
ooooh ahhhhh

My So Called Life
02:20

I'm just a boy from the farm no I ain't no big city light
and my love for you warmed up my dark rural nights
I watched you in class and in the fields from afar
you sang in the choir you were my star
Preston High 85 you loved me
but I took a dive with another layin' above me
I found out from the boys in the lot that it was over
so like a jerk I got drunk in the backseat with her
and your no good best friend proved that I was no good too
and that we only wanted to touch the angel heart in you
Preston High 85 you loved me
but I took a dive with another layin' above me
*words can't change what i've done and I'm sorry
but I didn't know that love could be so cruel*
cuz I'm just a boy from the farm no I ain't no big city light
and my love for you warmed up by dark rural night
Preston High 85 you loved me
but I took a dive with another layin' above me

Bobby Kennedy

He was born November 20 1925
When Johnny ran for senate he was always by his side
his mama's 7th baby a promising trend
on his team he was a starter and he was an end
Better lookin' than his brother he was the peoples' man
the way his blue eyes fought for justice kinda wanna hold his hand
and every time he spoke I believed what he told
when he put it up for grabs I bought all that he sold
Oh, California...

Pennies

Long gone crazy
built an ulcer on the inside of my brains
Use it as a launching pad for crazy thoughts
a big black hole where I can go get lost
a preacher and a pill
Caught my limit of old boots
and snagged the anchor on the ground
Fill it with sewage where the river flows
Lay me down where the live oak grows
and plow me up with the fields
When they lay me down
and put pennies on my eyes
Cast the old rowboat out to sea
and burn my body down

standing on your mother's porch in Macomber West Virginia
spring has sprung and the love is young and the garden's all been canned
and the cushions made by hand and like a guest I stand
til you bring me home
stomping my boots out on your mother's porch in Macomber West Virginia
winter's come and the skiings fun I put my presents neath the tree
God you give so much to me and I'm down on my knees
with you in the snow
it's 4 am on our front porch underneath a blanket in Austin Texas
the grass is high like you and I and the rain comes pouring down
and the ain't no one around and the lightning strikes the ground
and I love your life story

Dinosaurs

I'm going extinct like a dinosaur
there won't be nobody there if you knock at my door
I'm going extinct like a dinosaur
so bye bye bye bye bye
One time I decided to walk around
but then I died so I laid there on the ground
10,000,000 years later they dug me up
and now I'm in a museum- YAY!!!!!!!!
I'm going extinct like a dinosaur
there won't be nobody there if you knock at my door
I'm going extinct like a dinosaur
so bye bye bye bye bye
If I was a big T REX I'd be very proud
and you can bet your butt that I'd be very very loud
I'd wander around the earth to get to where you are
and when I found you I'd let out a big RARRRR!!
cuz I'm going extinct like a dinosaur
there won't be nobody there if you knock at my door
I'm going extinct like a dinosaur
so bye bye bye I die

Two Sides
02:51
|
|||
|
By ones and twos, the people we lose
what do we do when the laws become of no use?
I'm sad and confused with loss and bad news
Out the window birds sing
the eggs hatch the spring
The lights blink, the sun says the day is done
shadows fall, dark fills the halls of our hearts and our minds.
I'm confused, it's not my time. Just show me a sign
My work here isn't done, I've contributed none to this place that I've loved
Two sides to a trap door, semi-permeable ceiling/floor
and here I am stuck on both sides, one at day and one at night
Dreams the mind create, dissolve when I awake
and then the waking hour so bleak dissolves into a dream.
Which one is real, what I do or what I feel?
With desire so strong, but ability so wrong
By ones and twos, the people we lose
what do we do when the laws become of no use?
By ones and twos, the people we lose
Two Sides

Dixieland

When the war began we were in Dixieland
we sang one two three but the four it never came
I begged you to come home (bomb bomb)
but your eyes was crying roam (bomb bomb)
I walk the road alone (bomb bomb)
heard them fiddle on your bones
When the war began we were in Dixieland
we sang one two three but the four it never came
I called to my northstar (bomb bomb)
I remembered Orion
the sky was lit bombs made it impossible to read
When the war began we were in Dixieland
we sang one two three but the four it never came

Summer Ocean Storm

One time on a June day I was born
in the eye of a summer ocean storm
and my father said he'd never seen such water from my eyes
one time on a June day I was born
One time on a June day I was torn
and I'd just seen a midwestern lightening storm
and my love he said to me don't be surprised that you're so sad
when he heard of a summer ocean storm
and my father said he'd never seen such water from my eyes
and my father said you should take less than they advise
and my love he said to me that you're so sad it's no surprise
when he heard of a summer ocean storm

Trouble Lord have you got it same as me

I says Dad what you think of Ruth
cuz I put my faith in you
as if you could know the truth
Trouble Lord have you got it same as me
trouble Lord have you got it same as we

Though I go places and I hope you'll go too
I have a side that always wants to say goodnight to you
In your ears on your cheek and your lips
Though I go places and I know you'll go too
I have a side that always wants to say goodnight to you
In your ears on your cheek and your lips
Though I go places and I hope you'll go too
I have a side that always wants to say goodnight to you

Me Alone

all the things you might do with your life
well you might be a great lover and you might be the best older brother
yeah you might be
when I'm alone I have these ideas about dreaming
all the cutesie poses with poetry and proses
throwing beans in the ground climb it up to find the golden egg
through my doubtful window chop it down with my mind
all my friends know we all have what it takes
to make this place a beautiful special place
its the great debate to create or procreate
to watch Tube8 or write all day and stay up late
