General Electric turntable
sits atop my coffee table
It's operational
It's operational
If you're down put you're favorite song on yr stereo
You sure ain't gonna find it on the radio
As long as I can spin it on my record player, don't ya know
Oh I--
I got somebody who listens and a place to go
Verse/chorus/verse/ bridge/verse/chorus
Goes a song and it picks me up
It's got the melodies
It's got the melodies
If you're down put you're favorite songs on yr stereo
You sure ain't gonna find 'em on the radio
As long as I can spin it on my record player, don't ya know
Oh I--
I got somebody who listens and a place to go
Transcription, depiction
I'll turn this car around
Translation, elation
Because I want to hear that sound
Oh I--
I got someplace that I can go
I can go....
Verse/chorus/verse/bridge/verse/chorus
Goes a song and it picks me up
It's got those harmonies
It's got those harmonies
If you're down put your favorite songs on yr stereo
You sure ain't gonna find me on the radio
As long as I can spin it on my record player don't you know
Oh I--
I got somebody who listens and a place to-
You got somebody who listens and a place to-
We got somebody who listens and a place to go

I Still Love You
04:09
|

Build me into a straw man
Burn your memories of me
Take somebody else's hand
If they make you feel more free
I'd still love you, baby
When you feel like you're alone
There's a place here in my heart
You can make this place your home
Any time you need a new start
I'll still love you, baby
When you break my heart take a tiny piece
Of me with you to help you feel okay
When all you're pain has been released
I hope you'll come home to stay
But if not,
I'll still love you, baby
I still love you, baby

Lady London
03:27
|

Xs, Os, it's always tic-tac-toe
Gunnin' for a hundred, runnin' on zero
You wanted him because you didn't know
That you'd be everywhere you'd ever go
Your whole world is turning upside down
Your whole world is turning upside down
That pin cushion that you swear is real
Told me something I'll just never feel
The way I did before I needed healed
Always needing more than I could ever buy or steal
My whole world is turning upside down
The whole world is turning upside down
Oh Lady London, all I really ever wanted to do was just fix your head
Uh oh, oh no, instead I went and killed you dead
I'm sorry
So sorry
For every little thing I never did or said

Artform
03:10
|
|||
Started out with good intentions
But fucked it up with great precision
It's an artform, babe
We both got made
It's not from a lack of trying
But one of us here is lying
It's an artform babe
This is the bed we made
You're right in your eyes
I'm right in mine
But maybe (maybe)
Baby
We're both wrong this time
Got a head full of whiskey
So now you don't have to miss me
It's an artform, babe
Yeah, we both got laid
We're both so innocent
We're both so full of shit
It's an artform, babe
We caught a bad, bad case
You're right in your eyes
I'm right in mine
But maybe (maybe)
Baby
We're both wrong this time
Was it ever really all that bad at all
I didn't care you didn't call
You're right in your eyes
I'm right in mine
But maybe (maybe)
Baby
We're both wrong this time
We're both wrong
This time

She's Down
03:17
|
|||
She wears no makeup but she'll shake up your life
Her body is a blanket just to break your mind
She's down
She's down
She likes boys and girls, wants the whole damn world
She's got you caught in a curl when her sex unfurls
She's down
She's down
She's down
She's down
She don't need your money, don't want your line
She's got her head wrapped around something cash can't buy
She's down
She's down
She drinks whiskey by the barrel, you don't treat her fair
You'll lose her on the spot
Because she knows she's hot
She's down
She's down
She's down
She's down
Bloodshot baby with the look in her eye
She stays close to the ground, much to my surprise
She keeps me comin around and around and around and around
She's down
She's down
She's down
She's down

The Whiskey Song
03:12
|
|||
The bottle is empty and the bill needs paid
I'm in the same damn spot I was yesterday
Oh whiskey, carry me home
Whiskey, carry me home
The girl I had, she had me one better
She'd treat me bad just because I'd let her
Oh whiskey, carry me home
Whiskey, carry me home
My best friend is married to the needle in his arm
It's cold outside and it keeps him warm
Oh whiskey, carry me home
Whiskey, carry me home
My ma and pa, they don't like me none
They tell their friends they ain't got no son
Oh whiskey, carry me home
Whiskey, carry me home
Oh whiskey, carry me home

Homesick Heart
04:07
|
|||
This old pain is all I know
Come the rain, come the snow
If the sun ever shines on me
Show the world my misery
I have climbed a mountain high
Came true love, came goodbye
That poor girl was all I knew
Her hair was blond and her soul was blue
I have stood on many roads
Seen folks come, watched em go
I kept my head up in the clouds
And left my feet back on the ground
I have lived, but now I must die
Give me ground, give me sky
Lay me down, and then close my eyes
Write my ma, and tell my friends I said goodbye
Cuz I can see that the sky is goin dark
Me and my own true love's been torn apart
Paint it black and send it back to the start
Lay me to rest and then send my best to my homesick heart
Lay me to rest and then send my best to my homesick heart
Lay me to rest and then send my best to my homesick heart
Lay me to rest and then send my best to my homesick heart

Fire On Broadway
04:36
|
|||
The pain you wake to isn't yours
It's just a double sided door
That'll go anywhere that you'll go
Always spittin those alibis
To prove that getting high
Ain't the only life that you know
Dance around with tip-toe talk
It's even in the way you walk
You probably could, but you won't
Captivated by lesser than
It doesn't really matter where or when
You know that you should, but you don't...
There's fire
There's fire
There's fire
On Broadway now
Shedding skins like real life
You put your throat up to the knife
To find out who to follow
That tomorrow you're speaking of
Could always come but it never does
There's just another empty bottle
The night is young and deep like you
You got this place that you're going to
To count the hours until tomorrow
Cautious cuz it suits you best
You hit your licks in a restless mess
Of friends that are more like shadows
There's fire
There's fire
There's fire
There's fire
On Broadway now
There's fire
Fire
There's fire
There's fire
There's fire
There's fire
There's fire
There's fire
On Broadway now

Killin' Me Dead
02:38
|
|||
A lotta night clubs & after-hours places
All yr pretty boys & their doorknob faces
You think you've got a leg up but yr shake up is a bore
I've left a lotta girls like you before
It's killin me, killin me, killin me dead
All the images that you paste to my head
It's killin me, killin me, killin me dead
And I want you gone
Yr bottom's droppin out, yr sunken eyes, tasteless
You can put yr body where you want, I ain't chasin'
You think you've got it goin' but the real you is showin'
I've seen a lotta girls like you before
It's killin me, killin me, killin me dead
All the images that you paste to my head
It's killin me, killin me, killin me dead
And I want you gone
The woman that I thought you were, you ain't her
I try to get close to you, freeze, say "brrrrrr"
You think that you were special but you treated me like a whore
I've known a lotta girls like you before
It's killin me, killin me, killin me dead
All the images that you paste to my head
It's killin me, killin me, killin me dead
And I want you gone
I want you gone
I'm not impressed at all, babydoll

On A Run
06:07
|
|||
I came on a lark
you left too thin
I followed you down
on a prayer and a whim
You fluttered your eyes
I thought you a bird
Such a pretty disguise
for somebody that can't find the words
I flew on the past
you slept with today
I knew the whole time
you couldn't stay
But that view to a kill was my baby girl
The icy self-will that it took just to live in that world
Maybe I'll see you somewhere out on a run
Before your day is done
With a mouthful of tomorrow
my mind on the past
I'm gonna drink this glass empty
nothing good ever lasts
You cut all of your hair off just to feel something new
Mine just kept growing, honey it grew and it grew
You slept all Sunday
I wrote you a song
If something is right
something is wrong
I tried hard to love you just like you said you need
But the cloud that hangs above you was raining on me
Maybe I'll see you somewhere out on a run
Before your day is done
Maybe I'll see you somewhere out on a run
Before your day is done
Maybe I'll see you somewhere out on a run
Before your day is done

Home
03:22

Home is a place where the t.v. is always on
They don't notice that you're there
but they'll miss you when you're gone
Of all of the places to go, I think I wanna go home
Don't you wanna go home
I think I'm going home
Don't you wanna go home
I think I'm going home
Home is four walls to protect you from the weather
It's a really nice thought
But I don't think it's forever
Of all the places to go, I think I wanna go home
Home can feel so far, but home it is so close
It's a place to chew the nails from your fingers and your toes
Of all of the places to go, I think I wanna go home
Home is a place where the kitchen don't cry
I've got a lot of places to go, but I
Of all of the places to go, i think I wanna go home
Oh, my sweet sweet honeysuckle bloody knuckle baby
Don't love me no more
Home is a place where they can spit in your face but they
Can't lock the door
Home is anywhere that you can hang yr coat n hat
Home is up yr butt and you can quote me on that
I got a lot of places to go, I think I wanna go home
