Tell Me

Monday, March 31st, 1997
Tell me one more time
You like the shoes I wear
Tell me as you leave
You really couldn’t care
I bought all the drinks
And I paid for your friends
Jesus can’t you see
I’m goin round the bend?

Step into my shoes
And see things as I do
Step inside this house
You know I’d love you to
How come you can’t see
The things you left behind?
How come you can’t see
I’m goin round the bend

Tugboat

Sunday, March 30th, 1997
I don’t wanna stay at your party
I don’t wanna talk with your friends
I don’t wanna vote for your president
I just wanna be your tugboat captain

It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d be happy
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d be happy

I don’t wanna stay at your party
I don’t wanna talk to your friends
I don’t wanna vote for your president
I just wanna be your tugboat captain

It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d be happy
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d like to see
It’s a place I’d like to be
It’s a place I’d be happy

Victory Garden

Saturday, March 29th, 1997
Last night in your window sittin
I saw you
Oh enough, I know the serious fortune
Does adore you

Won’t you come back home tonight?
Can’t you see everything’s going to be all right?

Oh enough, don’t say you’ve said goodbye now
Don’t say you’ve said goodbye now
Oh don’t say you’ve said goodby

Your suit of chrome it once
Shined so bright
She told me you were
Out of sight
The serious fortune
She waits for you tonight

Oh, don’t say you’ve said goodbye now
Don’t say you’ve said goodbye now
Enough, don’t say you’ve said goodbye

Oh, don’t say you’ve said goodbye now
Don’t say you’ve said goodbye now
Oh don’t say you’ve said goodbye

Ceremony

originally performed by Joy Division

This is why …
Heard it all a different story
All the time the wheels are turning
Turn again, turn towards this time
All she asks, the strength to hold me
… the same old story
Love will travel oh so quickly
Travel fast, turn towards this time

I … them all, no mercy shown
Heaven knows it’s got to be this time
What she heard, these things she said
Time she cried and failed to wake this time

I break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows it’s got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching

Forever
Forever watch …
Forever
For never letting me know

Way Up High

Thursday, March 27th, 1997
Down to the clouds
Up from the roof
I missed the band
Why so aloof?

Way up high and goin too fast
Way up, way up high

Open your eyes
Come see my quilt
Big as the bed
Look what I built

Way up high and goin too fast
Way up, way up high

When Will You Come Home

Wednesday, March 26th, 1997
When, when will you come home?
Watchin t.v. all alone
Watchin Kojak on my own
Starin at the wall
And waitin for your call
When, when will you come home?

Now, I’m crawlin on the floor
Makin noises like a dog
Makin noises you can’t hear
Starin at the wall
And waitin for your call
When, when will you come home

20 Miles To Texas 25 To Hell

Tuesday, March 25th, 1997
20 miles to Texas, 25 to Hell
Where the weather’s hotter I could never tell
Spend most of my days doing nothing but no good
Seems like I was born to be misunderstood
20 miles to Texas!! 25 to Hell!! 20 miles to Texas, 25 to Hell
I was born for stealing I wasn’t made to sell
Carved out of bone and ash, steel, dirt, concrete
An arm for an arm a leg for a leg
One dead end street
20 miles to Texas!! 25 to Hell!!
Fire’s on the side of the road people toe to toe
Warm your hands on burning blood
I gotta go… go!! 20 miles to Texas, 25 to Hell
If she ever loved me, I could never tell
Spend most of my days doing nothing but no good
Seems like I was born to be misunderstood

A Swim With The Sharks

Monday, March 24th, 1997
You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing
Well a swim with the sharks is like me

I’ll find them for three and catch them and kill them for ten
When they smile just cut off your legs
You’ve got no time to think only to beg

Twenty no twenty five – three tons
The one in the front is the one on the run
Well it’s blood red
Fair game for the eats ’cause this my home this is my street

Well is a swim with the sharks like weak is for strong
Nobody knows it yet not right from wrong
Deep is the dark from the depths of the dive
Am I okay, am I alive?
Well the hot house now seems like suckin’ on some ice cream
Funny thing is it’ll make a grown man scream
Want to stay afloat but don’t forget it
All I’ve got to say you’re gonna need a bigger boat

Well a swim with the sharks is like now
never
deadly
clever
the darkness
the sun…forever…done

An Eye Is Upon You

Sunday, March 23rd, 1997
Spinning complacently in the darkness
Covered and blinded by a blanket of little lives
False security has lulled the madness of this world into a slumber
Wake Up!
An eye is upon you
Staring straight down and keenly through
Seeing all that you are and everything that you can never be
Yes an eye is upon you an eye ready to blink.
SO face forward with arms wide open and mind reeling
Your future has arrived…Are you ready yo go

Automatic

Saturday, March 22nd, 1997
The trip is on for a million miles, 93 to the sun
Take your place and you say goodbye,
Its automatic you’re the one,

Its automatic, its automatic
Its automatic you’re the one
Its automatic, its automatic
Your day alive has just begun

Whats in the air, who’s in the mind
Where’s the light in your eye,
Within the realm of the possible, it’s no big surprise

Its automatic, its automatic
Its automatic you’re the one
Its automatic, its automatic
Your day alive has just begun

Brilliant sheep lead to brilliant babies,
A thousand stars, a million maybes
Captivating the captivated,
And save the souls of those that you created

Its automatic, its automatic
Its automatic you’re the one
Its automatic, its automatic
Your day alive has just begun
Its automatic, its automatic
Its automatic you’re the one
Its automatic, its automatic
Your day alive has just begun

(Yelled)
Its automatic, its automatic
Its automatic you’re the one
Its automatic, its automatic
Your day alive has just begun
