There were 87 Advil in the bottle now there's 30 left
I ate 47 so what happened to the other 10? Why do you suspiciously change the subject and break my concentration As I dump the bottle out and I count the Advil up again? Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thought Have some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Hitting every pocket on my shirt, pants and overcoat And I'm hitting them again but I don't know where I put my notes Clearing my throat, and gripping the lectern I smile and face my audience Clearing his throat and smiling with his hands on the bathroom sink And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall I see stuff through the glass that I don't recognize at all And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Though it may not be a long way off I'm not done talking yet I'm not done talking yet And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall I see a broken figure silhouetted on the wall And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Though it may not be a long way off I won't be done until my head falls off |

Birds are calling to sing along
But my window's painted shut And all that year of chorus taught me Is out of style and long forgot How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized By the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified As if I were a girl? I want to raise my freak flag Higher and higher and I want to raise my freak flag And never be alone Never be alone From the watchtowers I've been spotted Fingers pointing at my mouth Spotlights turn and pivot towards me But I dare not make a sound How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized By the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified As if I were a girl? I want to raise my freak flag Higher and higher and I want to raise my freak flag And never be alone Never be alone How can I sing like a girl And not be stigmatized By the rest of the world? Tell me how can I sing like a girl And not be objectified As if I were a girl? How can I sing like a girl How can I sing like a girl How can I sing like a girl How can I sing like a girl |

Exquisite dead guy
Rotating in his display case Exquisite dead guy Swear I saw his mouth move Exquisite dead guy Outside my high rise apartment Exquisite dead guy Hanging from a skyhook How am I supposed to let you know the way I feel About you How am I supposed to let you know the way I feel About you |

Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing
There's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the unknown And I've got something to help you understand Something waiting there beneath the sand My metal detector Is with me all of the time I'm the inspector over the mine Look past the volleyball (look past the ball) Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull) Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal 'Cause I've got something to make you understand Something hidden there underneath the land My metal detector Is with me all of the time I'm the inspector over the mine Metal detector, watch it shine Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard enough of the sea Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball) Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull) Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don't need to look at any doll) For I've got something to help you understand Something waiting there beneath the sand My metal detector Is with me all of the time I'm the inspector over the mine Look past the volleyball (look past the ball) Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull) Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal 'Cause I've got something to make you understand Something hidden there underneath the land My metal detector Is with me all of the time I'm the inspector over the mine Metal detector, watch it shine Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball) Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull) Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time |

You called me last night on the telephone
And I was glad to hear from you 'cause I was all alone You said, "it's snowing, it's snowing! god, I hate this weather." Now I walk through blizzards just to get us back together We met in the springtime at a rock-and-roll show It was on the bowery when it was time to go We kissed on the subway in the middle of the night I held your hand, you held mine, it was the best night of my life. 'cause everyone's your friend in new york city And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see But the best thing about new york city is you and me Statue of liberty, staten island ferry, co-op city, katz's and tiffany's* Central park, brooklyn bridge, the empire state where dylan lived** Coney island and times square, rockefeller center Wish I was there You wrote me a letter just the other day Said, "springtime is coming soon so why don't you come to stay." I packed my stuff, got on the bus, I can't believe it's true I'm three days from new york city and I'm three days from you 'cause everyone's my friend in new york city And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see But the best thing about new york city is you and me 'cause everyone's my friend in new york city And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see But the best thing about new york city is you and me. |

It's your own worst enemy
Ringing the bell on the door And the person inside says nobody's home So your own worst enemy peeks inside And sees you softly weeping as some music fills the room And the song they play Is that guy with the messed up face Going, precious and few are the moments that you And your own worst enemy share Full bottle in front of me Time to roll up my sleeves And get to work And after many glasses of work I get paid in the brain And the song they play Is that guy with the messed up face Going, precious and few are the moments that you And your own worst enemy share And the song they play Is that guy with the messed up face Going, precious and few are the moments that you And your own worst enemy share It's your own worst enemy |

XTC versus Adam Ant
Content versus form Fighting for their place in rock and roll There is no right or wrong Just when you think it's finished With XTC on top Ant music, like a phoenix Flies back up the charts XTC versus Adam Ant Only one will survive Beatle-based pop versus new romantic History will decide XTC versus Adam Ant I can't tell you why Even the singer from Bow Wow Wow Can't make up her mind XTC versus Adam Ant Time is marching on XTC versus Adam Ant There is no right or wrong There is no right or wrong There is No right Or wrong |

Down, down, down you go
No way to stop As you fall, hear me call No, no, no Listen to this warning and Consider these Simple words of advice Stop, stop, stop Fogging the view, cupping face to the window In darkness you make out a spiralling shape Putting all reason aside you exchange What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange The spiralling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) And nobody knows what it's really like But everyone says it's great And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes This could lead to excellence Or serious injury Only one way to know Go, go, go Go ahead, wreck your life That might be good Who can say what's wrong or right? Nobody can Put out your hands and you fall through the window And clawing at nothing you drop through the void Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape The spiralling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) And now that you've tried it, you're back to report That the spiralling shape was a fraud and a fake You didn't enjoy it, you never believed it There won't be a refund, you'll never go back The spiralling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) And nobody knows what it's really like But everyone says it's great And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes (Spiral in their eyes) Fogging the view, cupping face to the window In darkness you make out a spiralling shape Putting all reason aside you exchange What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange The spiralling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that thing) Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that thing |

In 1844, the Democrats were split
The three nominees for the presidential candidate Were Martin Van Buren, a former president and an abolitionist James Buchanan, a moderate Louis Cass, a general and expansionist From Nashville came a dark horse riding up He was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump Austere, severe, he held few people dear His oratory filled his foes with fear The factions soon agreed He's just the man we need To bring about victory Fulfill our manifest destiny And annex the land the Mexicans command And when the votes were cast the winner was Mister James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump In four short years he met his every goal He seized the whole southwest from Mexico Made sure the tarriffs fell And made the English sell the Oregon territory He built an independent treasury Having done all this he sought no second term But precious few have mourned the passing of Mister James K. Polk, our eleventh president Young Hickory, Napoleon of the Stump |

You gave me a pet name
Which is not to say I like it We met at a party Not to say I was invited You said love was just a lie But I could tell that you were lying And we almost figured out how we'd get along And given time we'd find it strange to be alone and You work in a hotel At the magazine concession Back in just five minutes Reads the sign above your station Slip your profits in a bag And you're looking up to the hour hand And we almost figured out how we'll get along And given time we'll find it strange to be alone and You just forgot your one pet name for me And all those promises you said you'd keep And it's a lucky thing Because that sentimental stuff Doesn't suit you At all Waiting at the bus stop For just about an hour Strategies for hangman Cat's cradle, origami You say I'm OK for a guy But I can tell that you are lying And we've almost figured out how we'll get along And given time we'll find it strange to be alone and You just forgot your one pet name for me And all those promises you said you'd keep And it's a lucky thing Because that sentimental stuff Doesn't You just forgot your one pet name for me And all those promises you said you'd keep And it's a lucky thing Because that sentimental stuff Doesn't suit you At all |
