The night was clear, and the moon was yellow

And the leaves came tumblin' down. . .



I was standin' on the corner

When I heard my bull dog bark.

He was barkin' at the two men

Who were gamblin' in the dark.



It was Stagger Lee and Billy,

Two men who gambled late.

Stagger lee threw a seven,

Billy swore that he threw eight.



"Stagger Lee," said Billy,

"I can't let you go with that.

"You have won all my money,

"And my brand-new Stetson hat."



Stagger Lee went home

And he got his .44.

He said, "I'm goin' to the ballroom

"Just to pay that debt I owe."



(bridge)

Go, Stagger Lee



Stagger Lee went to the ballroom

And he strolled across the ballroom floor.

He said "You did me wrong, Billy."

And he pulled his .44.



"Stagger Lee," said Billy,

"Oh, please don't take my life!

"I've got three hungry children,

"And a very sickly wife."



Stagger Lee shot Billy

Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard

That a bullet went through Billy

And broke the bartender's bar.



Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee!

Go, Stagger Lee, go, Stagger Lee!

(to fade)

She shot a hole in my soul

I'm walking all over town

calling her name and trying to find her

she shot a hole in my soul-yeah

I'm walking all over town

knockin and beatin on every door



Some pity me

and people start to cry

one man said he helped me

but I thanked him and said goodbye

'cause I've got to keep on trying-oh

I'm going crazy, about to lose my mind

I've got to keep on trying

I'm going crazy, about to lose my mind



My heart says

without a love you're dying

baby, baby, baby

can't you hear me crying

say, oooh

woooh, help me somebody



She shot a hole in my soul

I'm walking all over town

calling her name and try to find her

she shot a hole in my soul-yeah

I'm walking all over town

knockin and beatin on every door



I walked into a club

jumped up and grabbed the microphone

I asked the man, leading the band

to let me sing a song

'cause my heart says

without a love you're dying

baby, baby, baby

can't you hear me crying

say, oooh

woooh



She shot a hole in my soul

I'm walking all over town

calling her name and try to find her

she shot a hole in my soul-yeah

I'm walking all over town

knockin and beatin on every door

Surely, surely, surely, surely,

surely, surely, surely, surely,

I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I,

love ov, lo lo, love ov, lo lo, love ov, lolo love you



Come rain, come snow

come, come sunshine

your love will stop the rain

it will melt the snow

'cause you're mine

all I find to say

when I feel this way

is just I...I

love you, love you, love you



I love you because

darling, you're for real

you showed this heart of mine

how a real true lovin' ought to feel



Surely, surely, surely, surely,

surely, surely, surely, surely,

I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I,



I love you because

honey, you're for real

you showed this aching heart

how a real true lovin' ought to feel



Chorus

You left the water running

When you left me here behind

You left the water running

Running from these eyes of mine

Running from these eyes of mine



You turned off the life and love

And left with another guy

You turned off all of your love from me

But you forgot to turn off the cry

You forgot to turn off the cry



You pull the shades a way down low

You disconnect the telephone

Oh baby, but these tears, a-running from my eyes

You can't turn 'em off any, no

No you can't turn 'em off any, no



(brass solo)



Chorus



You locked the door, left my heart outside

And then you threw the key away (tell 'em Colla)

But you'll regret and you'll be upset

When you get your water bill to pay

When you get your water bill to pay



Chorus

Walking down the main drag one night

I met a fine chick that looked- just right

she stopped in and I flashed my roll

I told her she could have all of my dough

she turned around, and with a frown

she said this ain't no circus and I don't need a clown

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

your cash ain't nothin' but trash

your cash ain't nothin' but trash

so there ain't no need in your hangin' around



Just to make the hit with that chick

I tried to get a cadillac right quick

the man at the place looked so strange

I had nine hundred bucks and some change

we disagreed, I tried to plead

He said I ain't no chicken and I don't need your feed



Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

then brother you're crawling we passed your speed



I'm walking and countin my bucks

the man with the gun said hands up

I tried to get away but I was too slow

he caught me and took all of my dough

I heard him shout, as he cut out

"you ain't lost nothing what you're crying about?"



Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

and he took my watch and I passed out



I woke in the arms of a big cop

police station next stop

the judge swung his fist down plunk plunk

twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk

dig up the dough, and you can go

and all I had was a buffalo



Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

but I sure better get me some more

I'm getting ready for the function at the junction

(guitar solo)


driftin' and stumblin' like a ship out on the sea

driftin' and stumblin' like a ship out on the sea

i ain't got nobody

to care for me

Lover don't turn your head.
Just let me walk away.
I thought I might have to say,
you're asking the wrong guy.

She wonders how.
Thinks she knows now.
She'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. Great big no.
Great big no. Great big no.

Is nothing okay with you.
Is nothing okay with me.
Is anything happening to have to go to sea.
He wonders why. The indigo guy,
He'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. Great big no.
Great big no. Great big no.

Everyone knows everything
Everyone knows everything
Nobody, nobody has got no one to go to.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.

Whoah (Lover don't turn your head.)
Lover don't turn your head.
No. (Lover don't turn your head.)
Is nothing okay with you?

I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm from the crowd
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
And if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone anymore

I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
I know a place that's safe and warm from the crowd
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
So if I should fall
I know I won't be alone
Be alone anymore

I know a place where I can go when I'm alone
Into your arms whoa into your arms I can go
I can go...

Bite my tongue
and I won't say a word against anyone
but I don't wanna get my fingers wet
unless it's an accident

fell out on the street
now I'm watching my shoes and I grit my teeth
but I don't have to look that way
if I had half a say

It's about time
It's about time
lick my lips
and I won't hear the end of this

On your knees a reassurance
buy some time and come back for it

before long
before it's gone

patience is like bread I say
I ran out of that yesterday

it's about time
it's about time

enough about us
let's talk about me
if not about you
It's not about sunshine

It's about time
It's about time
touch my leg
It's smooth but there stubble there

I'll fall back and let'em go
only when I know you know

I don't know
make me sure

Have your people contact mine
and keep your lawyer on the line

it's about time (x4)

Gotta own up on my own somehow
Toss the beginning and try to live it down
'N work my way out
I been so down about it

It gets the same every time I shy
Away from the blame and I stand my time
You can understand why
I been so down about it

She's gonna give me all the time I need
To finish it
And if I can't I'll sleep
Over

And out like a light when it's not plugged in
Fading around if it starts again
You just don't get it when
I get so down about it

I drop you a hint so I hope you don't catch
You fumble your keys and I throw the latch
You'll still worried that
I been so down about it

Out of it so I'd hope she'd be there
Talk to her as I climb the stairs
I told her

Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow

Could you see your way clear
and arrange your eyes away from mine
Sorry I'm here
but you get paid get paid to lie
You get paid to smile

Would you really say hello
and let me carry my own guitar
and please don't hold the door
I can work the handle on any car
It's really not that hard

smile, paid to smile
smile, paid to smile
oooh

the cigarette girl took off her tray
and dropped her dress in a shiny pile
pulled her pants up on her way
when gets home she'll laugh a while
she gets paid to smile

smile
smile
smile
smile
smile
smile

Take a look into some big grey eyes and ask yourself
You wanna make 'em cry?
Lookin' out of them it's just as well
But you're gonna live to see I'm gonna ask you why

Either way you got a bone to pick, can't you leave that to somebody else?
I don't need you to suck my dick or to help me feel good about myself

Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Do you have to try to piss me off 'cause I'm easy to please?
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Yeah while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene

If you can find a way to add it up,
it might be hard but it might be enough
I'd be grateful, I'd be satisfied,
And you might find in time it wouldn't feel so bad
After all it doesn't take that much and it would mean the song to me
For you to lose the part that's still afraid and not prepared to see

My big gay heart
In the dark, my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Do you have to try to piss me off just 'cause I'm easy to please?
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Yeah while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene

Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
My big gay heart
In the dark, big gay heart
My big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Don't wanna get stoned
Don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Don't wanna get high
I don't wanna get high
But I don't wanna not get high
I don't wanna not get stoned

Wanna knock things down
I'm not gonna knock things down
But I don't wanna not get stoned
So I'm not gonna not knock things down

Don't wanna think twice
I don't have to think twice
But I'm not gonna get high
I I'm not gonna get stoned

Style

Not gonna come round
I don't wanna come down
I just want a killer line
And I'll figure it out myself

Don't wanna get stoned
I don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Style

One of the reasons
I came all this way
Two opposite seasons
I had to hear you say

You were gonna hang around a while
I notice my postcard in a pile
One, two, three, four

Pepper, salt, sugar and tarragon
We're hanging by the pool
Mortar bricks and aluminum
Step one, figure two

I know it's probably not my place
Watch the water drain different way
One, two, one, two, three

If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
If I could you know I'd try to

Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out
It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without

It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without
Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out

If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Ask the other half if I might
Rest assured

Dawn can’t decide if there should be more of this porch
She’s sick of being inside, he reads the signs
And now they’re making out in Lancaster, just to pass the time

Curtis C called, left a message in Japanese
Dawn returned the call, reviewed the newest Taang release
Joe shoulda known that the Long Island Lolita would be the cause

Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning

And you strike, strike the right chord
The right chord in me, strike the right chord

Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
No paperwork

Bah, bah, bah, bah

Bless my soul maybe I should leave it alone
I'm sure it could be safer to stay at home
You've made your point
It's pointless and it's all gonna burn
I'm in no state to skate but I'm gonna take my turn

I know you may never really understand
Why go through these motions with my hands
It's a gesture at best
But my body's in the right place
to fall in your arms now and wait to save face

I'll do it anyway
no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
but I got a hunch
and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand
It just ain't planned
It's still a beautiful world

American men you know them
they just gotta be right
When it's left to me
often times I'd rather not fight

They make a big deal out of everything
and they got too many guns
and just to make 'em mad
I'm gonna do it for fun

I'll do it anyway
no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
but I got a hunch
and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand
It just ain't planned
It's still a beautiful world

I'll do it anyway
no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts
but I got a hunch
and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway
over the barren plains
I'm still a girl
and it's just a horse
and I got the reins

Don't wanna get stoned
Don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Don't wanna get high
I don't wanna get high
But I don't wanna not get high
And I don't wanna not get stoned

Wanna knock things down
I'm not gonna knock things down
But I don't wanna not get stoned
So I'm not gonna not knock things down

Don't wanna think twice
I don't have to think twice
But I'm not gonna get high
I I'm not gonna get stoned

Style

Not gonna come round
I don't wanna come down
I just want a killer line
And I'll figure it out myself

Don't wanna get stoned
I don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

If I was in the fridge, would you open the door?
If I was the grass, would you mow your lawn?
If I was your body, would you still wear clothes?
If I was a booger, would you blow your nose?
Would you keep it? Would you eat it?
I'm just tryin to give myself a reason, for being around.

If I was the front porch swing would you let me hang?
If I was the dance floor would you shake your thing?
If I was a rubber check would you let me bounce
Up and down inside your bank account?
Would ya trust me, not to break you?
I'm just tryin really hard to make you,
notice me being around.

If I was a haircut would you wear a hat?
If I was a maid, could I clean your flat?
If I was the carpet would ya wipe your feet,
In time to save me from mud off the street?
If you like me, if you love me,
why don't you get down on your knees
and scrub me?
I'm a little grubby
From being around.

I thought we had an understanding there
that wouldn't leave too soon
Figure it over and you'll find out where
your green shirt's gone

Had to hear about your Danish boyfriend
I forced a swoon
So I went over to your dresser drawer
and now I got it on

I got it on
your favourite Tee
It never looked as good on you
as it looks on me

I got it on
I'll wait and see
I used to wear it every day
and now it's twice a week

Fill in the shadows of a certain corner
you used to sit there
got me a brand new lamp, plugged it in
and now the dark don't fit there

Ain't got the time or the inclination
to see this through
I'm lookin up, climbing out of the station
and the sky's too blue

Chorus:
The sky's too blue
The sky's too blue
It mightn't suit me quite as well
as it used to

I got it on
Your favourite tee
I used to wear it every day...

Found a place nothing's ever there
made a little space big enough to pitch a tent
a hideaway I hadn't ever gone
'til I whacked my way under the overgrowth
I found a place I found a place
I found a place I whacked my way
and looking back to discover my tracks
dirty hands and light through the branches

found myself a breathing place
got room to stand up straight
and if I wanna lay around I can
find way to pass the time
flat down or on my side
and in a while I close my eyes

you can
you can
come on

you can be too rich
and you can be too thin
and you can take it with you
wherever you go
you must talk to stangers
when you visit a new park
you might ask the park ranger
where you should park
you can be too rich
and you can be too thin
and you can take it with you
the things that you learn

[From "Back to the future" soundtrack]

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go'round

And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm

It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

Half past 9, quarter to ten
10:15, and we're coming around again
hold off, are we going soft?
Flushed my Zoloft, and we're comin' around again
Found out, and I almost drowned
Walked back down, and we're coming around again

*If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

Khmer Rhouge, and genocide qua
Your place or mein kempf, now I'm givin' the dog a bone
slight hunch, without the vaguest clue
to keep the blood balanced,
now we're coming around again
half past 9, quarter two,
10:15, and we're comin' around again

*Repeat

She takes me on a rocking stroll,
If you won't wave guess I won't know.
As I roll by I hope you'll throw a smile at me.
'Cause this here pram is all I've known.
I won't be walking till I've grown.
All I've been shown is everything I want to see.

People's knees and trunks of trees smile at me.

Looking upward to the sky, moving forward all the time.
The sidewalk lines, "gadunk-gadunk-gadunk-gdai"
If it's warm in here is it cold down there?
Around out where I can only stare.
I'm still aware of little but I'm gonna try.

I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try. Oh!

He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
The story's getting closer to the end.
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
He'd rather be alone than pretend.

She just wanted him to love her but he didn't.
He took to the woods and wandered in it.
Walked along and on until they couldn't.
Stole himself to tell her that he wouldn't.

I've never been too good with names.
The cellar door was open, I could never stay away.
I know it's prob'ly not my place.
It's either or, I'm hoping for a simple way to say.

It's a shame about Ray.
In the stone, under the dust,
His name is still engraved.
Some things need to go away.
It's a shame about Ray.

If I make it through today,
I'll know tomorrow not to put my feelings out on display.
I'll put the cobwebs back in place.
I've never been to good with names,
But I remember faces.

Waiting for some thin' to break.
Left my heart out to bake.
Nothing there in my glass.
Wasn't air meant to last.

Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.

All the way down to the lake,
(Found the lake was wet).
How much more could I take,
(Better yet).
Walked back home to my place,
(Tired of getting high).
Guess I don't want to die.

Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.

Waiting for some thin' to break.
Left my heart out to bake.

Slipped my mind that I could use my brain.
I'll stay up all night and crash on the plane.

Ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a
Ship without a rudder.

Ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a
Ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a ship without a
Rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder.

I'm lost in the see-through.
Pane always needs a bath.
Between a want and a need to,

Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path.

{Play verse chords}
My country was of thee
Now why'd you have to leave
How'd this come to have to pass
Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path

Mark my path, mark my path down.
Mark my path, mark my path down.
Mark my path, mark my path down.
Mark my path, mark my path down.

I want a bit part in your life,
A walk-on would be fine.
I just want a bit part in your life,
(A bit part in your life).

I want a bit part in your life,
Rehearsing all the time.
I just want a bit part in your life,
(A bit part in your life).

Little more than a cameo
Nothing traumatic when I go
Little more than a stand-in,
I won't need reprimanding.

She'd shake it up, was hard to make out.
Now it's plain to see
I couldn't cook to save myself,
Found my life a recipe.
I never looked at her this way before,
But now she's all I see...

Alison's starting to happen,
Alison's starting to happen,
Alison's starting to happen to me

It's so mesmerizing,
Can't describe it,
All that inside, hey.
No one's heard her last name, I ain't asked,
So, who am I to blame?
An earthquakes started forming underneath my feet today...

Alison's starting to happen,
Alison's starting to happen,
Alison's starting to happen to me

Oh, this world is topsy-turvy,
And it is mine to eat.
She's the pebble in my mouth and underneath my feet.
She's the puzzle piece behind the couch, made the sky complete.

Alison's starting to happen.
Alison's starting to happen.
Alison's starting to happen.
Alison's starting to happen.
Alison's getting her tit pierced.
Alison's growing a Mohawk.
Alison's starting to happen to me.

Thrilled to be in the same post code as you.
I tell you things I know you'd like to know,
Treat you to cake every night.
Suddenly talk and it'll make you fright.
Smile at me, I'll hold you really tight,
Follow you into bed, run around till mornin',
We'll stay awake all night.
We'll repeat the same stories,
But of course never in front of friends.
How it all started in the kitchen.

Hey!

Remember the time you said we should wait awhile?
You'd let me know when you changed your mind.
Yeah, I was sad for some time.
But 12 hours watching me at the wheel
Made me realize what you really feel.
Won't have to hurt anymore.

Ooohhh...
Walking you home along Mt. Vernon Street,
You told me secrets I was shocked to know.
Pretend it was me every night.
I'm thrilled to be in the same postcode as you.
I'll come and visit, maybe never go,
Follow you into bed.

Run around till mornin' and we'll stay awake every night.
We repeat the same stories,
But of course never in front of friends.
How it all started in the kitchen.

Started out today jello in the sand.
Went out of my way not to understand.
Walked into a tree don't you look at me.
See I'm not myself phony mystery.

Sore afraid.
That's my tune.
Ceiling fan in my spoon.

Clothed in iron there's no denyin'.
When you feel like a bent fork tine.
Feelin' like a bent fork tine.
Clothed in iron there's no denyin'.

Sore afraid.
That's my tune.
Ceiling fan in my spoon.

I met a boy called Frank Mills
On September twelfth right here
In front of the Waverly
But unfortunately I lost his address
He was last seen with his friend, a drummer
He resembles George Harrison of The Beatles
But he wears his hair tied in a small bow at the back
I love him but it embarrasses me
To walk down the street with him
He lives in Brooklyn somewhere
And he wears his white crash helmet
He has golden chains on his leather jacket
And on the back are written the names
"Mary" and "Mom" and "Hell's Angels"
I would gratefully appreciate if you see him tell him
I'm in the park with my girlfriend and please
Tell him Angela and I don't want the two dollars back just him

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
(Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

I haven't cried baby since I learned to talk
Haven't fallen down since I learned to walk
And I don't get bored watching the tube
And I never had a rock in my shoe

And if I tried baby, would you mess me 'round?
Would we both get bored by the simple sound

Sorry about dropping that lude
It just seemed like the best thing to do

It's all true
I got me
She's got you
And we got time to share a few

You never get me down when I'm feeling blue
When I tell you lies you won't believe they're true
Now I really should be on my way
Think I'm gonna stick around all day

It's all true
I got me
She's got you
And we got time to share a few

She's so precise with her exacto knife
She's gonna take her life

I don't wake up with a sudden start
With some empty arms and a broken heart
And I don't get bored watching the tube.

Half past nine, quarter to ten
Ten-fifteen, and we're coming around again
Hold off, are we going soft?
Flushed my Zoloft, and we're comin' around again
Found out, and I almost drowned
Walked back down, and we're coming around again

[Chorus:]
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

{repeat chorus}

Khmer Rhouge, and genocide qua
Your place or Mein Kempf, now I'm givin' the dog a bone
Slight hunch, without the vaguest clue
To keep the blood balanced, now we're coming around again
Half past nine, quarter two,
Ten-fifteen, and we're comin' around again

If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend

Speak so softly and lowly
Like you want me to hear
And it just shows to go me
No need to speak clear
Your away on a movie
And I want you to be

Be be be be be
Be be be be be

You're away on a painting
And I want you to be
And it just ain't worth waiting
For what I don't want to see
You're away on a painting
And it don't bother me

Me me me me me
Me me me me me
Me me me me me
Me me me me me

Come on baby say you don't hate me
Grape leaf stay fair save me
Startin' all over
Heather clover come over rover break me
Break me break me

Speak so softly and lowly
Like you want me to hear

there's a disease ,
going 'round the hospital
green green leaves
falling from the trees

---repeat
you gotta run away
you gotta spin a web
you gotta stay up late
you gotta stay in bed

Always paid the rent
but I've never set foot inside a tent
Can't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type

i've never slept out underneath the stars,
the closest that i came to that was one time my car
broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
i lied about being the outdoor type.

Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill god bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike

i can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
what if somethings on tv and its never shown again
its just as well i'm not invited i'm afraid of heights
i lied about being the outdoor type

Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

I met a little girl in Knoxville a town we all know well
and every Sunday evening out in her home
I'd dwell we went to take an evening walk about a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground and beat that fair girl down
she fell down on her bended knee for mercy
she did cry oh Willy dear don't kill me here
I'm unprepared to die she never spoke another word
I only beat her more until the ground around us with all her blood did
pour I took her by her golden curls and drug
her 'round and 'round throwing her into the river
that flows through Knoxville town go down go
down you Knoxville girl with the dark and
rolling eye go down go down you can never be my bride
I headed back to Knoxville got there
about midnight my mother she was worried
and woke up in a fright saying dear son what have
you done to bloody your clothes so
I told my anxious mother I was bleeding out my nose
I called for a candle to light myself to bed
I called for me a handkerchief to blind me aching head rolled
and tumbled the whole night through a troubles was for
me like flames of hell around my bed and in my eyes could they
carried me down to Knoxville and they put me in a cell
my friends all tried to get me out but none could go
my bail I'm here to waste me life away down in this dirty old jail
because I murdered that Knoxville girl the girl I loved so well
