Come to the front of the room And you will be part of the show, the show tonight Surf on the crowd like we did In years of yore, in years gone by And I will sing these songs for you And I will sing these songs for you Song of the year, this will not be A summer masterpiece, like Gnarls, oh, baby we're all crazy Sleep in a tent in the mud with the rain pouring down Baby life is just a big old festival And I will sing these songs for you And I will sing these songs for you

Watching your ponytail bounce all around And your calves pushing your feet off the ground And the little pink stripe on your shoe, just behind you And I’m running along just behind you Talking a bit but I run out of breath And after 3 kay ems faster you get And you smile cuz you know that you’ll win And I’m running along just behind you After the finish line go for a beer It’s 10:45 and the smoke has all cleared And my legs are wobbly, I can’t barely walk And I was running along far behind you And I was running along far behind you And I was running along far behind you But I was just behind you

My darlin’ took me down, down to the water My darlin’ holdin’ me in her arms, she makes me feels so nice My darlin’ in the darkness, I can see her in the light Oh my darlin’ hold me round Oh my darlin’ hold me round Oh my darlin’ hold me round Before you go, before you drown My darlin’ had that vision, a vision ohhh… She had a premonition, a premonition alright My darlin’ in the darkness, I can see her in the light, in the light of my closed eyes Oh my darlin’ hold me round Oh my darlin’ hold me round Oh my darlin’ hold me round Before you go, before you drown

Oh, winds blow me home Them waves are rough Oh, winds blow me home I’ve had enough Widows watch the sea Candlewick stays lit Stars above cry out Behind black clouds, they shout Two years out at sea Spices in the crates A Hundred fathoms deep That could be my grave Oh, winds blow me home Them waves are rough Oh, winds blow me home Them waves are rough - And then it all just floods away Dreams wash down on me Then the sweat, it dries away Dreams wash down on me M’head escapes so comfortably Dreams wash down on me And so begins another day Dreams wash down on me

Wake up in the morning there you are Breathing softly in my arms You're so warm and you're so soft When you wake up in my arms Put my hand through your hair Lying gently near my face You're still sleeping, that's OK Cause you'll wake up in my arms I know, I know, I know... I know, I know, I know... When you wake up in my arms When you wake up in my arms When you wake up in my arms Sometimes I think I'm so lucky to Have you lying in my arms Your eyes slowly open and you smile When you wake up in my arms I know, I know, I know... I know, I know, I know I love you so When you wake up in my arms When you wake up in my arms When you wake up in my arms

This is perhaps a spot well defined Through nothing but tears and the passing of time Alright, alright, alright This is for nothing and that is for you You know where you stand, not where I’m going to Alright, alright, alright You look out your window and see what you want Your eyes are open, but your mind says, ‘Don’t’ Hold on, hold on, hold on You’re fine, satisfied, think everything’s great But you won’t be happy till your laid in your grave Hold on, hold on, hold on And oh, with this thought, let me roll out of bed…

You climb up onto that chair Jump around everywhere Like a vampire hunting my hand And you drag my socks all around the flat There’s nothing like a shoelace danglin’ (But run under the bed) when the thunderclap’s a’bangin’ You see invisible mice all the time Towel hangin’ from a rack, now that’s a good time Now that’s a good time

Sitting on the dock over the bay, my friend I heard the bottle wash up on the waves, my friend Looked down at my feet and broke that glass, my friend And this is what it said, oh yeah, Well this is what it said: ‘No, I won’t be a fool no more, No, I won’t be a fool no more, No, I won’t be a fool again, No, I won’t be a fool no more.’ Making up for lost time in Baltimore Chesapeake Bay Bridge in 1984 Atlantic seaboard salt whispers in my face again And this is how the words, they went, oh yeah, And this is how the words, they went: ‘No, I won’t be…’ I could tell you ‘bout the way people are venomous and mean And I could tell you ‘bout the way they say things that just don’t mean a thing I could tell you a little more ‘bout that lost bottle at the beach And I could tell you a little more about the wisdom that it preached So, I looked under my bed And I looked into the dark And I looked through all the dark places all up inside my head And I looked into my soul And I looked into my heart And I looked in my eyes and I knew Shelling crabs and drinking beer in Baltimore Constellation sloops since 1854 Atlantic seaboard salt whispers in my face again, 'No, I won’t be a fool no more.'

You might see them in a garden near your home You may even have one to call your very own They wear hats in the shape of a cone Look like plastic or ceramic but really flesh and bone They come from Vietnam and the Euro zone The are not elves, goblins or little garden trolls Be kind to you local garden gnomes They sometimes come in boxes with ventilation holes Or get them on the highway by the side of the road Some are in the forest where they naturally roam They're friends with snails and like their beer with some foam Some are evil but most have lovely souls You'll find them where the crystal waters flow Oh, be kind to your local garden gnomes What do I want for Christmas? I want a garden gnome Something to protect your home? I want a garden gnome Something for decoration? I want a garden gnome Something with magical powers? I want a garden gnome But when it causes trouble you can shoot your garden gnome Throw it off a bridge or stone your garden gnome Hang it from a railing or club your garden gnome But until then, please be kind to your garden gnome

Gone, gone a long time, these teardrops fall tonight Punch, yeah punch drunk, that love has dried all up Gone, gone a long time, these teardrops fall tonight Take, take these thoughts, take these memories, wash them away Take, take these thoughts, take these memories, wipe them away Gone, gone a long time, these teardrops fall tonight

no lyrics, not a song

Why do you always, mess my day up? You bring your crappy problems to my door Why don't you ever, just shut your mouth up? To me you're verbal vomit on the floor You're a leech, and an energy vampire A provocateur and pure insane The devil's in you but you take it out on me What's wrong with you? Just pure insane You're just rotten, to your bitty bitty bitty core One bad apple spoils the whole damn bunch Wherever you go you bring your misery with you But you think it's other people who to blame You're a leech, and an energy vampire A provocateur and pure insane The devil's in you but you take it out on me What's wrong with you? Just pure insane There's a leech on my leg There's a leech in my vegetable soup There's a leech sucking out my mind There's a leech infiltrating my dream I can't get no sleep cuz this leech is infiltrating my dreams No, I can't get no sleep cuz this leech is infiltrating my dreams You're a leech, and an energy vampire Ohhhhhh You're a leech, and an energy vampire Ohhhhhh

3x5 or 9x13 Do you remember us two flirting? Sitting with our hands apart Didn't know to wait or start 4x6 or 10x15 Either way you still look pretty Sittin' there smilin' an' thinkin' 'bout thinkin' And you thought I missed you winking Later on when I walk up to you Later on when I sleep next to you Later on when I want to touch you Will you be a photo in my mind? Later on when I hold you up tight Later on when I whisper just right Later on when my heart wants to cry Will you be a photo in my mind? Borders or borderless Somethings there just can't be missed We put them down bags in a corner Hope they're not torn up, pawed up, or worn up Take them out and look at them Show'em round and laugh and rem- Inisce with those there or that are here Smile, frown, giggle and tear Later on when I walk up to you Later on when I sleep next to you Later on when I want to touch you Will you be a photo in my mind? Later on when I hold you up tight Later on when I whisper just right Later on when my heart wants to cry Will you be a photo in my mind? There's one there, it's me at 13! There's one there, it's you and your thirsty There's one there, we're on a coaster There's one there, all out of order Look at this one, wonder who that is? Look at that one, remembering matters We push it away on purpose too often Or accidentally, alone in our coffins Later on when I walk up to you Later on when I sleep next to you Later on when I want to touch you Will you be a photo in my mind? Later on when I hold you up tight Later on when I whisper just right Later on when my heart wants to cry Will you be a photo in my mind?

And yes you know it's that time again We're headed to the end of the road Well I've looked all around and I've looked all of you in the eye Or right above it And I've looked at you make little smiles now and then And I've looked at you with your serious face on Thinking what the hell is that man singing about And yes you know it's the end of the road Yes you know it's the end of the road And you know, it's that time again And we're headed to the end of the road

It’s just a simple song that helps me on my way It’s just a simple song that gets me through my day I sing it when I’m alone or maybe out with you It’s just a simple song, picks me up if I’m feeling blue I sing it in the park when I take a walk I sing it when I’m at work all covered up in chalk I sing it when I’ve got nothing else to do It’s just a simple song, which now I sing for you It’s just a simple song and you can sing it too Or maybe you have your own, one that’s just for you I think it’s normal that we have a melody It’s just a simple song but it works for me
